Chapter 242: The Night Banquet (5)

Han Xizai looked Na Zhe up and down, and then said: "That gentleman, tonight's banquet was held because many people were pampering the old man, and the old man really couldn't get in the way. In Jinling City, there are many talented and beautiful women, all of whom are very interested in you. They heard that you are a descendant of the great poet Nalan Rongruo, and you have an amazing art industry, so they all want to meet you. Mr. should be prepared to be made difficult by others, among the people who came today, there are the famous Jiangzuo Xu Xuan, Xu Kai brothers, Taichang Dr. Chen Zhiyong, Zhu Mian, the deputy envoy of the Teaching Workshop Department Li Jiaming, and the great talent, the champion Lang Shuya, they all want to weigh your catties. ”

Shu Ya shook her head: "Master Han, I won't make things difficult for that gentleman." Although I am very curious about my husband, after what happened just now, we are already friends, and I will definitely not get involved. ”

Na Zhe got up and gave up his hand and thanked Shu Ya, "Shu Langzhong, thank you, if you want to deal with me, it's really difficult to deal with me." ”

Han Xizai stood up, held on to the table and said, "Let's go to the banquet hall, don't make everyone wait for a long time." ”

Everyone followed Han Xizai to the banquet hall, which was the magnificent building where the bloody case happened just now.

It was very noisy here, and many red men and green women were laughing and talking to each other. Seeing Han Xizai and others, everyone greeted each other one after another. Han Xizai just nodded slightly in response and led everyone into the hall.

The hall was brightly lit, and Na Zhe smelled a faint fragrance, which should be the unique fragrance of whale oil candles.

Cao Deshun whispered: "That virtuous brother, it seems that our whale oil candles are selling well, and even high-ranking families like the Han Mansion use them." You're going to have to let Du Dalei go out to sea to go whaling, whale oil candles are very popular now, and they can be sold as many as they want, and the price is still very high. You're going to have to deliver it in time. ”

Na Zhe nodded: "What you said makes a lot of sense, as long as our * warship arrives, the boss will let the rookies of the escort team go to sea to hunt whales." There are more warships going to sea like that, and the guys who can not only make money from whaling, but also train the escort team, is definitely a thing that kills two birds with one stone. ”

After Han Xizai entered the hall, the people who were already seated stood up one after another and saluted him.

Han Xizai said loudly: "Everyone, please be quiet, I will introduce you." He pulled Na Zhe, and then said to everyone: "This is Nalan Rongruo's descendant, Mr. Na Zhe." Don't you want to see him? Feast your eyes on it, hahaha. ”

At this time, dozens of eyes were projected towards Na Zhe together, making Na Zhe feel a little uncomfortable. Some of the women even exclaimed:

"Ahh

"The slave family has finally seen it!"

"That gentleman looks suave, and the slave family likes it very much!"

"Why is his hair loose?"

"You're too stupid, the celebrities of the Wei and Jin dynasties are like this."

Na Zhe received strong onlookers, and many men saw that Na Zhe was very popular with these girls, and they were a little unnatural, and they had a faint jealousy of Na Zhe.

Han Xizai saw that the atmosphere was a little delicate, he had been playing with flowers for many years, and of course he understood the mentality of these men. hurriedly came out to relieve the siege: "Everyone, please listen to the old man, tonight's guest of honor is the gentleman, and the old man will listen to his wonderful music." Now that the old man is hungry, everyone should sit down and start the table immediately. When we are full, we will ask Mr. to play. ”

So everyone sat down, and the hall gradually fell silent.

Han Xizai took Na Zhe and Cao Deshun and introduced them to the weighty guests one by one. First of all, it was Seo Hyun and Seo Kai brothers.

Xu Xuan said with a smile: "That sir, I am an old acquaintance with you Yidi Cui. I often hear him talk about you, everyone has been friends for a long time, so don't see each other, haha. ”

Na Zhe kept his hand off the square inch, and said with a smile: "Thank you Xu Shilang for your kindness, please raise your noble hand tonight, don't give me a problem!" ”

The people around laughed, and someone said: "That gentleman, Xu Shilang and Han Shangshu are called 'Jiangzuo Han Xu', they are everyone in the world, and the poems and texts are unique for a while, you must be careful." ”

Xu Xuan stroked his beard and said, "That sir, as long as you compose a new song tonight and satisfy the old man, I will let you go, haha." ”

Na Zhe hurriedly said: "There will definitely be new words, and they will definitely satisfy you." Please also ask Xu Shilang not to be embarrassed. ”

At this time, a middle-aged man with a medium stature and a slight fortune next to Xu Xuan asked Na Zhe: "That gentleman, a certain Xu Kai, you are so confident, it seems that the lyrics of this piece must be very standard?" ”

Na Zhe looks very similar to Xu Xuan between his eyebrows and eyes, but he is a little short and fat.

Han Xizai introduced: "This Mr. Xu Kai is the younger brother of Xu Shilang, and he is now an official living in Tuntian Langzhong, a scholar of the Zhizhi Palace, and a bachelor of Jixian Palace. He is very accomplished in exegesis, and you will get to know him. ”

Of course, Na Zhe knows Xu Kai's name, and in later generations he has seen Xu Kai's life introduction, he has written a lot, and only 40 volumes of "Shuowen Jie Zi Biography" and 10 volumes of "Shuowen Jie Zi Rhyme" exist in later generations.

Xu Kai is proficient in the study of literal exegesis. "Shuowen Jie Zi Biography" is actually the note of "Shuo Wen Jie Zi". Because of the respect for Xu Shen, his book is the scripture, and the precepts made by self-humility are transmitted.

This book is the earliest systematic and detailed annotation of Shuowen Jie Zi since the Han and Wei dynasties. In addition to citing ancient books of the previous generations to prove Xu Shen's interpretation, the "Shuowen Jie Zi Lineage" takes the "General Interpretation" part as the main body, and also points out other extended meanings, and explains the relationship between the sound side and the meaning of the word from the sound side of the homophonic character, which has a great influence on later generations of exegetes.

In the "General Interpretation", it is often explained that the pretense of ancient books and the difference between ancient and modern characters are also explained, and sometimes the ancient language is explained in modern language, which occupies an important position in the history of the development of literary exegesis.

Na Zhe didn't dare to slack off, and said to Xu Kai with a smile: "Please give me more advice, Master Xu, you can write poems at the age of ten, and you are a genius." I just know some of the legacy of the ancestor Rong Ruogong, and I don't have any ability to do it, so please put it on the next horse. ”

Xu Kai saw that he was very modest, so he nodded slightly, and then sat down.

Han Xizai continued to take Na Zhe to meet with several heavyweights, including Dr. Chen Zhiyong of Taichang, Zhu Mian, a member of the Zhongshu Society, and Li Jiaming, deputy envoy of the Department of Education.

After being disturbed for a while, Han Xizai took Na Zhe and Cao Deshun to the main seat, and then sat on a low couch and asked Na Zhe and Cao Deshun to sit on his side.

After Na Zhe and Cao Deshun thanked each other, they sat down. Shu Ya also sat down next to Han Xizai. A few maids in bright skirts came over, presented wet cloths, and asked a few people to wipe their hands.

After everyone wiped their hands, a group of servants came in with food boxes and began to serve food to everyone.

After the dishes were ready, a group of beautiful maids began to pour wine for everyone, and Na Zhe found that the wine was amber, and it turned out to be Western wine!

Han Xizai raised his glass and said: "Wang Han's "Liangzhou Ci" in the Tang Dynasty wrote, 'Grape wine luminous cup, if you want to drink pipa, urge immediately. 'Tonight, the old man entertained you with wine from the Western Regions, please drink this cup to your heart's content!' ”

Then Han Xizai raised his glass and drank it all, and everyone shouted:

"Drink to win!"

Everyone drank the wine in their glasses and began to feast.

Na Zhe took a small sip because he was going to play later.

The atmosphere of the banquet gradually became warmer, many people began to toast each other, and many of the singers and maids of the Han Mansion began to laugh with some young talents and flirt with each other.

Na Zhe found that Han Xizai was looking at all this with a smile and was not angry. He thought to himself, it seems that the record of history is true! According to the legend of later generations, Han Xizai raised hundreds of singers and dancers at home, and they had private meetings with some talents, but after Han Xizai found out, he didn't care, but encouraged them, and sent some money to these singers, so that they could go with the talents.

That Zhe thought badly, Lao Han is also over sixty years old this year, and it seems that he can't do anything about beauties! Otherwise, Lao Tzu will help you comfort these lonely beauties.

At this time, two young men walked straight to Na Zhe with wine glasses.

Na Zhe had no choice but to stand up and look at the two people with a smile.

The young man on the left is well-proportioned, pale, and looks excessively drunk. He opened his mouth and said: "That sir, contemptible Gao Mian, I met your brother Cui Daoshu a few months ago, we used to drink and talk happily, let's have a drink together today." ”

The young man on the right also said: "That gentleman, a certain Zhang Yuanheng, let's have a drink together, we will be friends in the future." If you have any trouble in Jinling City, just mention my name, and you won't have anything to do. ”

Na Zhe saw that this young man was not tall and had a delicate face, but his face was full of arrogance, and he definitely looked like a second ancestor.

At this time, Shu Ya came over and whispered in Na Zhe's ear: "That gentleman, Gao Yanei on the left, is the son of the household servant's family. Zhang Yanei on the right is the son of Prime Minister Zhang Renyao. You have to be careful! ”

Na Zhe saw that Gao Yanei was fine, but Zhang Yuanheng, the son of the prime minister, was coaxed, and he felt a little unhappy in his heart.

But he didn't show it, a smile appeared on his face, and then he picked up his wine glass and said, "Two Yanei, fortunately, fortunately, it's a pleasure to meet you." Please fill this cup to your heart's content. ”

Then he craned his neck and drank from his glass.

Seeing that Na Zhe was drinking refreshmently, the two sons also covered the wine glass with their sleeves, and drank the wine in the cup with their necks tilted.

Han Xizai saw that Zhe secretly spit the wine in his mouth into his sleeve, and secretly laughed in his heart, it seems that he is also a smooth person, because he does not want to offend the son of the prime minister's family, he resorts to such a trick.

Gao Yanei and Zhang Gongzi chatted with Na Zhe for a few words, and then went back.

Han Xizai saw that the atmosphere of the banquet was getting more and more enthusiastic, so he beckoned and called a maid.

He whispered a few words in the maid's ear, and the maid hurried out.
