Chapter 163: Palm Mouth
Yang He and Zhixian Gao Qifeng, Gongsheng Zhou Mingyuan and others went in. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
When they arrived at the lobby, everyone from the yamen who went to the banquet, the gentry and businessmen basically arrived, and they finally had the opportunity to come up to meet Yang He, and handed over their name stickers one by one to introduce themselves.
Deng Menzi cleverly collected it, carefully put it in the worship box, and waited for Master Yang to go back and take a closer look.
Yang He smiled and greeted the people around him freely, in fact, he had experienced too many scenes of this kind, nothing more than that.
But in the eyes of others, it is even more mysterious, although Yang Lian is young, he copes with it decently, and seems to have seen a big scene.
Because it is not in the official office, everyone is dressed in civilian clothes, all holding fans, regardless of the history of the county, the gentry and merchants are like this, a piece of elegant style, only Yang He is holding a powerful horse chopping knife, which is quite conspicuous.
However, the people present are basically human spirits, so naturally they will not talk about this, or they will not mention it if they are knowledgeable, or they exaggeratedly praise Lord Yang for being both civil and military, and he has the style of the Han and Tang Dynasties.
After the greetings, it is already the beginning of the lanterns, one by one the lanterns are hung out, this "Spring Greeting Building" is two floors up and down, downstairs is an ordinary lobby, upstairs is a private seat, and the back hall garden or something.
Yang He and the others naturally went upstairs, and there was already a wine table upstairs, and the scale of this banquet was quite large, with two upper tables, five middle tables, and eighteen lower tables, and the upstairs and downstairs would be full, and almost all the people in the yamen could get some benefits.
also invited two classes of drama troupes, the most famous in Suining City.
Looking at this pomp, this banquet has even the price of the show, the reward, and the miscellaneous expenses of the banquet, I am afraid that I will not be able to come down without two or three hundred taels of silver.
And this is just a routine feast for the yamen.
At this time, the wind of official banquets became more and more intense, and officials had to eat a big meal when they gathered, welcomed the new and sent off the old, entertained guests, and had statutory holidays, and even developed to the end, inspecting the warehouses to eat, going out to the suburbs to persuade the peasants to eat, and arranging a public banquet when it was too late to discuss official documents.
Therefore, even if there is a surplus of envy in various places, it is all eaten up, how can there be money for relief or public construction?
Yang He naturally sat on the upper seat, accompanied by Gao Qifeng, the county magistrate, as well as several officials of the county, the main book, the canonical history, and the inspection, and then Master Tian, the teaching, the instructor and others, the tribute Zhou Mingyuan, and several respected gentry in the city accompanied the seat.
The sentient beings were also at the top of the table next to them, and they were originally enough to sit in the middle of the table, but among the sentient beings, there was the son of Pisu Hewu and the Zhijia, so it was different.
Then the important secretaries of the house officials, the heads of the third class, the important gentry and giant merchants, each in the middle seat, Chen Qiuao's four ironclad guards were also arranged in the middle seat not far from Yang He, as for what each person is affiliated with, they are in the lower seat, mostly downstairs.
Anyway, the people in the county government have been dispatched, not to mention the county officials, even the forbidden soldiers can eat a big meal of anything, so every time there is a public banquet, they are welcomed by the people inside and outside the yaya, except for Lian Fangzheng, every time he eats and drinks, he almost has no share.
This banquet is still unforgettable for Yang He, cold dishes, hot stir-frying, barbecue, soup, desserts, dozens of noodles, look at the dishes on the table, think about the hungry people outside, it is really a heaven and a place, no wonder the people's hearts are unbalanced.
At this time, the society is more competitive and extravagant, the scholar treats guests, more than 100 kinds of dishes, the cost of a seat, it will cost more than 130 chickens, the people are also the same, the husband and servant are working during the day, and the night is to return to the city to confuse the wine, and the couple is drunk.
People don't care about saving, the poor and the rich fight for luxury, and the disciples of Xu Li plan to use it in the city.
There is no wealth of the commercial society, but the disadvantages of the commercial society have been learned.
Now, it's on the verge of collapse.
……
In the staggered cups, Yang He was a little emotional, and at the same time quite happy, but that's it.
This kind of wine and meat scene, he has experienced too much in his later life, what delicacies from the mountains and seas have he not eaten?
What luxury has not been enjoyed?
Naturally, it will not be lost because of the wine and meat feast, just like flowing water, without a trace.
At this level of state of mind, he no longer needed to cultivate.
Through this banquet, he also basically achieved his goal, and he had an understanding of the surrounding merchants and gentry forces inside and outside the city.
On the whole, the atmosphere of this banquet was good, everyone talked and laughed, and the cups were staggered, only the teachings and teachings sitting opposite were slightly disappointing.
It's not that they are as rigid as Lian Fangzheng, but these people elect officials, one teaching, two teachings, all of them are almost sixty years old and still not in the stream, looking at Yang He on the other side is just showing his talent and fame, but because he can fight and has soldiers in his hands, he is in the official position of Zheng Jiupin.
I can't help but feel a little unbalanced in my heart, relying on the old and selling the old when I speak, implying jealousy.
Yang He didn't bother to pay attention to them, and these three people were like this for the rest of their lives.
Even if they are lifting people and seeing themselves on the surface, they have to call themselves adults.
Yang He looked at the other upper seat, Huang Chengxi, outside the building, he clashed with himself, but at this time he was very quiet, only talking poetry with a few students on the side, and when he toasted, he was also stable.
Full of wine and food, everyone got up and went to the flower hall with a sense of wine, making tea and listening to music, poems and songs.
In the small county town of Suining, the so-called famous prostitutes are just smiling and generous, and there are no people from the Department of Education, so they need to go to Liangjing, and Dong Xiaowan, Li Xiangjun, Gu Hengbo, Bian Yujun, and Liu Ru are under the jurisdiction of the Department of Etiquette.
However, there are some local musicians, under the jurisdiction of the Department of Teaching Workshop, there is a unified allocation and teaching, some piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, music and pipa, which belongs to the nature of singing.
Inviting these people also costs money, and the price is not low, so I only know that there are two servants around Gao Qifeng in the county, two servants around Yang He, one each around the county Cheng, the main book, the classic history, and the inspection, and one holding a pipa and facing the public.
At this time, Deng Menzi and the two officials stood behind Yang He, and Chen Qiuao and the four of them also stood by the long window, looking at the two singers beside Yang He, except for Chen Qiuao's expressionless face, the rest of the people all cast envious eyes.
However, Yang He frowned slightly, these two Lehu singers, their faces did not conform to his aesthetics, and they had to have no breasts, no buttocks, no buttocks.
He rewarded the two daughters with silver, and asked the two musicians to shine away, and pour tea and wine from afar, so as not to take advantage of these women.
In later generations, too many women took advantage of him, which annoyed him.
The two singers were quite surprised, just like other Lehu singers, these two people are typical "thin horses", this banquet, Yazhong also took a lot of effort, and the Lehu selected for Yang He is the thinnest, the most flat, or small feet.
looks extremely weak and pitiful, and other men can't put it down, looking at the two "thin horses" around Zhixian, it is rare for them to smile, but I didn't expect Yang He to feel anything.
Looking at everyone with fans, only this young official held a knife, and everyone felt more and more that this new practitioner was different.
This is just a small episode, after the banquet the flower hall is still lively, everyone listens to the music, reciting poems, and the atmosphere is getting better and better.
Yang He also chanted a poem, although it was only the level of a showman, but it also attracted applause.
Of course, not everyone is happy, in the gentry position, the head of the Lingcheng gentry dynasty stared at Yang He over there, the young man was heroic, the stars held the moon, and every time everyone's flattery and applause, it made his face pale.
That seat used to be his own, and that kind of scenery was naturally enjoyed by himself, but this opportunity was let go by himself.
Among the people, Wang Jiaqing's eyes became more and more cold, looking at Yang He's demeanor and temperament, and his envy gnawed at his heart like a poisonous snake.
and Huang Chengxian next to him pouted, looking at the scenery of the Yang River above, his expression became more and more disdainful.
He leaned lazily on the seat, suddenly opened the ivory fracture fan in his hand, shook it twice, and put it away again, then got up and smiled: "Today is the day of Lord Yang's reception, the students came in a hurry, and they didn't bring any gifts, it's really rude." ”
He bit the word "adult" very hard, and everyone could hear the sarcasm.
Then he opened the folding fan in his hand, shook the fan and said: "It's also a coincidence, when the students traveled to Suyang, they got a few fans of the Fangfeng Pavilion, all of which were made of agarwood bone and made of Jingyuan paper. Today is the big day for adults, so students should give them a gift as a gift. ”
As he spoke, he beckoned, and a scholar stepped forward, holding a brocade box, and when he opened it, there was a very delicate folding fan inside.
Faintly, a refreshing fragrance came, and it was indeed a folding fan produced by the well-known Fangfeng Pavilion.
Each one is worth a lot of money, and it is impossible for idlers to ask for it.
Yang He sighed in his heart: "It's still here." ”
The hall was also quiet, Gao Qifeng, the magistrate, frowned, Zhou Mingyuan shook his head and sighed, all the dukes, gentry, and businessmen all showed strange expressions, Zheng Wenxuan and the other sentient beings were pale, Brother Huang, what is going on?
Do you have to get along with Lord Yang, if there is a conflict between the two, what if they are caught in the middle?
The father and son of the head of the dynasty showed joy on their faces, okay, someone embarrassed this surnamed Yang.
Of course, the two know that Huang Cheng's act of sending fans is a good idea if it is private.
However, on this occasion, everyone is holding a fan, only the one surnamed Yang has a knife, or a horse chopping knife, which is a ridicule of his lack of grace, and his behavior is as rough and humble as that of a martial artist, and he slapped him in the face openly.
And Huang Chengzhi is the son of a high-ranking official in Pisu River, and the surname Yang dares?
"There's a good show to watch."
The father and son thought happily.
Chen Qiuao and the others glared angrily, and they all pressed their long knives, and they now knew what this fan meant.
Huang Chengxi's eyes skimmed at them, but he didn't care, he was the son of a dignified and high-ranking official, no matter how fierce these guards were, how dare they do to him?
He just looked at Yang He himself playfully.
Yang He put the horse chopping knife on the table, and the heavy voice shocked everyone's hearts.
This knife, for fear of being cut off, will break the whole person in two.
Yang He asked Deng Menzi, who was a little flustered, to go up and take away the folding fan produced by Fangfeng Pavilion.
The fan is innocent, and it can't be sprinkled on the fan if there is anger.
Then he picked up the folding fan and played with it, put it back in the brocade box, looked at Huang Chengzhen, and said lightly: "Huang Chengzhen, what do you want?" ”
Huang Chengzhi shook his ivory fracture fan slowly, and said proudly: "Why did the adults say this? The students are just sending congratulatory gifts. ”
Yang He looked at him and sneered: "What do you mean in your heart, do you think that this official doesn't know?" Hmph, after all, it's a flower in a greenhouse, and it hasn't been through wind and rain, so I don't know what the official has experienced? ”
He violently picked up the horse chopping knife, which startled everyone, and raised his voice: "Everyone knows that Yang is a member of Luyi, why he came here, it's not to escape!" Do you know what happened in Zhongzhou, the rogue is raging, attacking cities and conquering places, and there are countless states and counties trapped. In order to escape the thieves, thousands of people fled, and this official was also a member of the fleeing army, and even his family members died one after another! ”
He looked at Huang Chengchuan coldly, his eyes were cold: "Do you know what I relied on when I crawled out of the pile of dead people, it was the knife in my hand, not your broken fan!" ”
The hall was silent, everyone was looking at Yang He, many people were thoughtful, many people opened their mouths wide, and for the first time they saw the benefits of Yang Lian's tongue, and it made people speechless and unable to refute, even many Lehu singers were also colorful ripples.
Huang Chengji opened his mouth, not knowing what to say, and the situation took a sharp turn for the worse, beyond his judgment.
So this son-in-law, who has a superior life, doesn't know how to react.
Zheng Wenxuan and the other sentient beings sighed in their hearts, the first time they knew about Lord Yang's sadness, no wonder they had to carry knives everywhere.
The father and son of the dynasty opened their mouths wide, what happened, how did things change?
Look at everyone, for the person surnamed Yang, their faces are replaced with sympathy and admiration.
For Huang Cheng's son, he faintly revealed dissatisfaction.
Yang Hedao: "Fight all the way, horse thieves, bandits, mountain bandits, every step is terrifying." Even when they arrived in Suining, there were also remnants of thieves, Jiaoshan bandits, Tongshan bandits, and even assassinated on the road. I don't carry a knife, do I really think that this fan is a heavy shield car, which can protect against knives and arrows, and protect against bullets? ”
Huang Chengji was reprimanded by Yang He, his face was blue for a while, white for a while, and he fixed his mind: "My generation has read the books of the sages, and the teachings of the sages ......"
Yang He shouted: "The six arts of a gentleman: etiquette, music, archery, royalty, calligraphy, and mathematics, this is the teaching of the sage, how much do you know?" Can you? Will you be royal? Or will it just shake your broken fan? Do you think this is very graceful, and you think that you can block the thief's knife by shaking the fan? ”
Huang Chengzhen was drenched in cold sweat, dizzy, gritted his teeth and said: "I am a scholar, how can I face ......?"
Yang He shouted: "I am also a scholar, all over Zhongzhou, countless scholars, thieves are coming, drawing swords and fighting with thieves, and blood stains green shirts." Now that the rogue is raging, maybe the soldiers will come to Suining City, and I will kill it with a sword, do you dare to kill the thief with me? ”
Huang Cheng's face is like ashes, today's experience made him unforgettable for the rest of his life, and he said expectantly: "I...... I ......"
Yang He sneered: "Don't even dare to kill thieves, what's the use of you living, what is your worth, why don't you die!" ”
He pointed his finger at Huang Chengzhen's chest, he took a step, and Huang Chengzheng took a step back.
The hall was even more silent, many people were shocked, everyone looked at Yang He, and maybe they had to rejudge this young Lian Zong.
Gao Qifeng, the magistrate of the county, looked at Yang He again and again, and opened his mouth wide to teach and instruct several people.
Chen Qiuao and others, all of whom were in the party, were beaming with joy and honor.
"Alright, alright."
Zhou Mingyuan came up to play a round, and the thoughtful Zheng Wenxuan and other students were also busy pulling Huang Chengji down, Zhou Mingyuan sighed: "What I said cautiously is that too many students now will only talk about empty talk, and now there are Tartars outside and thieves inside, which is not the blessing of the country." ”
He quipped: "Shen Yan is quite Han and Tang Dynasty everywhere, and he knows Wen Taowu strategy, is it really as said outside, the sky kills the stars?" ”
Everyone in the hall laughed in agreement, intending to dispel the stiff atmosphere in the hall.
At the same time, everyone was secretly frightened, and the conflict was just now, and this young Lian general manager didn't seem to take the son of the five-grade official in his eyes.
Yang He said with a smile: "I'm just an ordinary reader, I have skimmed the military books, otherwise I wouldn't have fled when the bandits were raging." ”
He sighed: "As Brother Qingyuan said, there are too many students talking about empty words, and the current situation is indeed not a blessing for the country. In this situation, I think of Chen Shiyi's first feeling, and my generation should follow suit. ”
Zhou Mingyuan said: "Feelings? ”
He whispered: "I am a noble son, and I love it all my life......"
"Feeling the time to serve the country, draw the sword and raise Artemisia."
"West Chi Ding zero stopper, north to single in Taiwan."
"Mountaineering sees thousands of miles, nostalgia is leisurely."
"Who has not forgotten the evil, worn away into dust."
Seeing him chanting, Zheng Wenxuan and other students couldn't help but chant in unison.
The poems echoed in the hall, like the atmosphere of the Han and Tang Dynasties.
Zhou Mingyuan sighed: "It turns out that this is the voice of Brother Shenyan. ”
Yang Hedao: "Suining Township soldiers are basically trained, I think about it, when there is the sound of our army's singing camp, at this time, I suddenly have something, so please take a look." ”
He said: "Come on, pen and ink waiting." ”
Then Yang He swiped his pen, he wrote a sentence, and Zhou Mingyuan read a sentence.
"You don't see it, the final army of the Han Dynasty, the weak crown is a captive, please be long."
"You don't see, Ban Dingyuan, the Peerless Light Cavalry is urging the battle clouds."
"A man should be in serious danger, how can he let Ruguan miss this life."
"The situation is that the country's prestige is tired, and the feathers are constantly fighting."
"Abandon my old pen, and I will be wartime."
"One call for 100,000 comrades, singing war songs and joining the army."
"Qi joined the army, cleaned up the dust, and swore to sweep away the thieves and slaves!"
After the words were finished, everyone changed color, and Zhou Mingyuan muttered: "...... Weak crown system, please long tassels. ”
He recited it several times in a row, and Zheng Wenxuan and others also muttered and recited.
This word is more like a singing, but everyone listens to it, but they all feel that the chest is full of pride, the heroic boiling endlessly, and a stream of blood swells from the chest.
The hall was silent for a while, and the sound of applause rang out, and Zhou Mingyuan sighed: "The word "Shen Yan......"
Suddenly, a voice came: "Dignified, high-sounding, and nicely spoken, isn't it eye-to-eye with a married woman?" ”
The needle drop in the hall could be heard, but after Huang Chengzhen was helped down, his face was extremely ugly, and he couldn't help but say a word at this time.
Yang He's face turned blue in an instant.
"Presumptuous!"
He slapped his palm on the table, and the loud noise startled everyone, and then the tea cup on it kept pounding.
Yang He's face was pale, and he pointed at Huang Chengxun and shouted: "Boldly disrespect the people, dare to be disrespectful to this official, and insult people's innocence. ”
Zhou Mingyuan shouted: "Be cautious, calm down." ”
But at this time, Chen Qiuao and the others had already pounced, and if the leaves were strong, like a chicken, Huang Chengji was brought out.
Huang Chengzhen fluttered and shouted in horror: "I'm a student...... My father is a fellow of the river affairs of Zhengwupin, Yang He, you can't beat me. ”
But at this time, the two ironclad guards had already grasped Huang Chengxi, Chen Qiuao slapped him heavily, and there was a loud "snap", and everyone in the hall trembled, and Huang Chengzheng immediately bled from his mouth and nose, and his head buzzed.
"How dare he hit me......"
This thought flashed in Huang Chengxi's heart, and then Chen Qiuao slapped him again.
There was a loud "snap" sound, and Huang Chengxun's mouth and nose blood flowed out more.
Chen Qiuao opened the bow left and right, and the hall was the sound of "pop papa" slap.
Everyone was stunned, even Gao Qifeng, the county magistrate, stood up involuntarily.
Wang Jiaqing was dumbfounded, and there was only one thought in his heart: "He really dares to fight, Brother Huang is the son of a high-ranking official." ”
Seeing that Huang Chengji was constantly being slapped and the blood in his mouth and nose was flowing down, he couldn't help but shout: "You ......"
As soon as the words came out, I saw an iron-armored guard pounce and slap him hard, Wang Jiaqing let out a terrible scream, and the person was fanned and rolled and fell out, and then struggled straight, unable to get up for half a day, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.
"My son!"
The head of the dynasty screamed bitterly, and rushed forward in a hurry.
The iron-armored guard turned his head, his eyes flashed with a cold color, and he punched hard.
Wang Chaoshou was hit in the abdomen, his eyes bulged out like dead fish, and the severe pain made him unable to scream.
The corners of his mouth were blood-red foam, twitching like a sheep's madness.
With a pop tom, he fell to his knees.
The hall was silent, and everyone was stunned.
