Chapter 90: The Feast
Since Han Pu entered Jincheng, he has been conscientious all the time, not only quickly reorganizing the Jincheng camp, but also trying his best to repair the damage caused by the civil strife and the siege of the Huns to the lives of the people. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 At this time, both sides of the street had already been cleared, and under the opening of the road, Zhang Jun and Han Pu drove together, followed by a large number of civil and military officials.
Since Zhang Jun has returned to Han Pu, it means that the relationship between upper and lower subordinates is over. The marching superintendent was originally a temporary dispatch appointed for the purpose of going on the expedition, and at this time, Han Pu was no longer a general of the army, so naturally he could no longer treat Zhang Jun as a subordinate, but in exchange for the etiquette of the young master of Daliang.
A group of people stopped outside the county guard's mansion and turned over and dismounted. Zhang Jun looked at the mansion in front of him, although it was still magnificent, it still retained traces of war. In the corners of the exterior wall, there is even a remnant of red.
Seeing Zhang Jun's puzzled expression, Chen Zhen didn't wait for him to ask, so he replied for Han Pu: "Major General, Han Junshou said that he must be vigilant from time to time, so he has not repaired it, one is to alert himself, and the other is to deter those who want to plot chaos. ”
Zhang Jun nodded, entered from the middle gate under the guidance of Chen Zhen, and turned his head to Han Pu who was smiling on the side and said: "The old general is loyal, and Jun will definitely show the truth in front of his uncle when he turns around Guzang in the future." ”
With the transfer from the general of the Chinese army to the county guard of Jincheng, Han Pu's heart is also changing. If you are in a different position, you will naturally think about things from a different angle. Jincheng is the place of the four wars, not only for the Liangzhou to control the frontier fortress of the river, but also to carry the general Zhang Maodong's ambition to enter the land of Longxi. In this position, in addition to doing his best, Han Pu naturally didn't want to be suspicious of Zhang Mao.
Zhang Jun's words were exactly what Han Pu needed, so he laughed and thanked him like a joke: "Then the old man will thank the young general for his kind words." ”
"I don't dare to be thanked by the old general."
Unexpectedly, Zhang Jun said: "The old general is the pillar of the country, and you guard the golden city, which is the blessing of millions of soldiers and civilians in Liangzhou." The old general need not be worried, my father has always known your loyalty. ”
There is no one in the world who doesn't like to listen to good words, not to mention the face-to-face praise of the young master of Liangzhou?
Han Pu stroked his beard and laughed, walked in with Zhang Jun, and soon came to the lobby that had already been arranged.
Chen Zhen said with a smile: "As the host, the county guard has prepared a grand banquet for the young general and a group of soldiers!" “
It was difficult to resist the enthusiasm, Zhang Jun nodded and agreed: "Listen to the elder's orders, Jun will obey everything." ”
So, accompanied by Han Pu, Chen Zhen and a group of civil and military officials, Zhang Jun took Han Hu and Hu Shuo to sit down one after another. After a melodious music, the waiters put plates of delicacies on the table like a stream, and the wine sparkles in glass bottles.
The Sixteen Kingdoms of the Eastern Jin Dynasty is an important period of development of food and entertainment culture in Chinese history, whether it is a large-scale banquet and drinking activities of the royal family, or a banquet and drinking party of noble officials, or even the food activities of people of different classes of the people, all of which are inseparable from music, singing, dancing and other literary and artistic performances.
As the saying goes, "Asahi is happy, and you don't know how to get drunk when you drink it." The high strings stir up new sounds, and the flute blows clear air. The string song is touching, and everyone is happy. Therefore, although this banquet is still a little extravagant, it is not because of Jincheng's arrogance and indulgence, but because of the social atmosphere of hundreds of years since the Eastern Han Dynasty. This is also one of the strange circles of history, the more turbulent and troubled times, the faster the cultural development, the richer the entertainment activities.
When you are full of wine and food, it is natural that beautiful women are indispensable to dance. The tune of the banquet suddenly changed, and more than 20 geisha with graceful bodies and delicate appearances came to the drums, divided into two columns, and danced.
The performance of the officials and subordinates was better, and those rough men of Zhang Jun's personal guard had seen this, and they all showed an obsessive look on their faces. Zhang Jun's face was as usual, but the alarm bell sounded in his heart, it seems that it is time to start a family for the meritorious soldiers, otherwise he only needs sugar-coated shells, and the team he worked so hard to bring out may collapse! It just so happened that this time a lot of Hun women were captured and returned, even if the generals didn't look down on them, they could be distributed to the soldiers.
Just when he was thinking about the matter of Lalang's matching, Chen Zhen suddenly stood up and clapped his hands.
Suddenly, the dance and music stopped.
When everyone's eyes were focused on him, Chen Zhencai said: "Colleagues, all soldiers, today's banquet is to wash the dust for the young general." The young general was brave, went deep into the Xiongnu for more than 1,000 miles, fought in all directions, and became famous, not only burning grain and straw, but also saving the people from fire and water, and relieving the people from hanging upside down. This is the work of the world. I propose, for the sake of the major general, all the princes drink this cup! ”
Han Pu, who was kneeling on the main seat, also got up and raised the wine bottle, and said in a loud voice: "Congratulations to the young general, drink this cup full." ”
So, everyone present hurriedly raised their glasses and stood up one after another.
Seeing this, Zhang Jun also raised the bottle and said: "Han County Shou has worked hard and is the pillar of Liangzhou, Jun proposed, and he was congratulated for Han County." ”
Han Pu laughed and said, "The young general doesn't have to compliment the old man, just congratulate him!" ”
Everyone laughed and shouted, "Congratulations! Congratulations! ”
Seeing the warm atmosphere, Chen Zhen said loudly at the right time: "In this case, all the gentlemen drink well!" ”
"Drink!"
"Drink ······"
After the toast, everyone took their seats.
Subsequently, at Chen Zhen's suggestion, Han Pu, Chen Zhen, Zhang Jun and Han Hu played a shooting scene.
The so-called "shooting" is a kind of wine order with an earlier origin, which is related to the legend of Mrs. Gouyi, the mother of Emperor Zhao in the Western Han Dynasty. When Mrs. Gou Yi was young, her palms were not extended, and the world thought it was surprising. After entering the palace, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty shook his hand, opened it as soon as he opened it, and saw a hook-like birthmark in his palm, so he was called "Mrs. Hook Yi". Later generations imitated this incident and made a play of hiding the hook, that is, hiding something in their hands for others to guess.
The four of them drew lots, and for the first time, it was Han Pu and Han Hu's father and son to play against each other, and Zhang Jun and Chen Zhen both showed teasing on their faces. Since the father and son met, Han Pu seemed to have never seen Han Hu, not only did he fake his color, but he only talked to Zhang Jun, ignoring his son.
Now that the father and son are playing, Zhang Jun also feels funny. I saw Han Hu holding something in his hand, stretched it out on the table, and said, "My lord······ Please guess ······"
Chen Zhen couldn't hold back anymore and laughed. But it was Han Hu who called him "adult" at the beginning, and after seeing Han Pu's eyebrows, he quickly changed his name to "envoy". Han Pu's face was also a little unbearable, and he snorted: "You idiot, you can be casual during the banquet." ”
When Han Hu heard this, it seemed that his bones were a few pounds lighter, and he smiled: "My lord, please guess." ”
Han Pu glanced at it disdainfully and spit out two words: "Portuguese pottery (grape)." ”
I saw Han Hu's face was bitter, and he unfolded his palm, and sure enough, there was a round and jade grape grain in his palm.
"It's time for an old man!" Han Pu also clenched his hand into a fist and stretched it out on the table, letting Han Hu guess.
Han Hu just drank a full bottle, burped, and said with a smile: "The adults are wise, how can the kid guess it, the kid admits the punishment." With that, he poured himself another bottle of wine and drank it with a grunt.
"Boring!" Han Pu disdainfully unfolded his palm, also holding a grape.
Zhang Jun said with a smile: "General Han Lao can be discerning, Chengzan brother through the army, this time with Jun was born and died, fierce battle against the Huns, quite a feat!" ”
"Humph!" Han Pu saw Han Hu's face was colorful, and said coldly: "You have to do things well under the command of the major general, slack off a little, and serve the family law!" ”
When Han Hu heard this, he hurriedly put away his face and said solemnly: "The child must obey the orders of the adults. ”
Zhang Jun was also very happy in his heart, Han Pu had not clearly approved his act of recruiting Han Hu before, and Han Hu was also commensurate with the master and the owner of the building at the beginning. Although he changed his name to "lord" after experiencing the tribulation of life and death, Zhang Jun knew in his heart that without his father's consent, a child of a family like Han Hu would never dare to recognize the lord.
Now that Han Pu has finally relented, I am afraid that he is also optimistic that he will be able to make great achievements in the future. Anyway, Zhang Jun was happy in his heart and said to Chen Zhen: "Chen Zhen, it's time for you and me to shoot over." ”
Chen Zhen also smiled and said, "The young general pleases first." ”
Zhang Jun had already held an object in his hand, landed on the table and said, "Please." ”
Chen Zhen looked at Zhang Jun and said, "I'm afraid this thing is not the thing in the banquet, the young general······ It should be related to the Huns. ”
Zhang Jun glanced at Chen Zhen deeply, and said in his heart that this person was really scheming, and laughed and said: "What Chen Zhen said is not bad, but it is a thing of the Huns······" After saying that, he opened his palm, only to see a black bump exposed in his palm, I don't know what it was.
Chen Zhen said: "The army led by the young general is called the ear-cutting army in the Xiongnu, could it be that this is the ear of Hulu?" ”
"Exactly!" Zhang Jun threw the dried ear on the table and said, "Chen Zhen won." ”
"Definitely!" Chen Zhen smiled: "Xia Guan didn't guess it, how dare he win?" ”
"If you guess the things of the Huns, you will win." Zhang Jun raised his glass and wanted to drink, but was stopped by Chen Zhen again, only to see him say: "The young general will inevitably open the mansion and build a tooth this time, and the next official will be the young general." ”
With that, the two clinked glasses and drank them.
Chen Zhen had said that Zhang Jun would definitely open a mansion before, but Zhang Jun did not answer, and when he mentioned this matter again, he couldn't help but look at Chen Zhen's eyes carefully. Seeing that this elegant middle-aged man's eyes were clear, he didn't seem to have any other meaning, so that Zhang Jun was a little unsure in his heart.
Why did Zhang Jun not want to think about it when it came to "opening the government and building teeth", which involved the official system of the imperial court since the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty······
