Jiuxiang Building is a famous restaurant in Yongqing. Yongqing is the first granary in Nanliang, rich in grain, rice, and under such conditions, Jiuxianglou also has a unique nickname, called "Yongqing First Floor", which is not only the recognition of Jiuxianglou, but also the recognition of the entire Yongqing. The county seat of Yongqing is not large, but small and exquisite. There is a restaurant near the gate of the east street of the county town is this Jiuxiang Building, as for why it is called Jiuxiang Building, it is because it is said that the wine of this family can be fragrant for nine miles, so it is famous in a radius of several miles. Guests from near and far, whether they are men, women or children, as long as they arrive in Yongqing County, they have to come to this Jiuxiang Building to taste it.

The boss of Jiuxiang Building is surnamed Qiao, about fifty years old, he was originally a small two in this Yongqing County, and he relied on himself for more than ten years to open this Jiuxiang Building, and now this business is becoming more and more prosperous, the dignitaries and nobles of Yongqing County, who want to talk about things, will basically come to this Jiuxiang Building to eat, it is said that this treat can support the face of the host's family. Boss Qiao doesn't care about their face, but as long as he comes to the store to eat, he will let his subordinates entertain them with great enthusiasm. But this time was different, last night he received a notice, saying that the Jin County Order was going to hold a banquet in his Jiuxiang Building today to entertain the guests, which was invited by some dignitaries and nobles, and others had seen a lot, but this Jin County Order was the first time to be so generous, so he had to pay attention to it, and he ordered the guys to start busy early in the morning, in order to do it, it was this lunch today, and he couldn't mess it up.

At noon, most of the guests came one after another, Boss Qiao stood at the door to greet the guests in person, there were guests pouring in in front of the Jiuxiang Building, the scene was very huge, I didn't know and thought that something terrible had happened, and then carefully inquired to others, it turned out to be the Jin County Order to invite guests to dinner, then there was nothing to say, other people may have to complain twice, this Jin County Order can not be used.

Boss Qiao waited and waited, and finally saw a carriage slowly and leisurely at the intersection in the distance, and then looked at the appearance of the carriage, it was very luxurious, quite aristocratic, ouch, isn't this the car of Huangfu. After Boss Qiao saw it clearly, he hurriedly greeted him.

As soon as Huang Meng got off the carriage, he saw that this Boss Qiao greeted him, and he was very enthusiastic, so he squinted and said, "Boss Qiao, I'm afraid your Jiuxiang Building is going to be lively today." ”

Boss Qiao knew that this was a compliment, so he hurriedly replied: "Isn't that all thanks to the blessings of the adults, especially our county commander." ”

Huang Meng laughed, then looked around, and found that there was no carriage with a county order, so he hurriedly asked, "Hasn't the county order arrived yet?" ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw a carriage coming from this street corner from a distance, this carriage is different from the carriage of Huangfu just now, the carriage is very simple and simple, and there is nothing different from ordinary carriages.

Huang Meng saw that it was really the Jin County Order, and hurriedly greeted him: "Lord County Order, how are you doing lately?" ”

When Jin Ren saw this appearance, he also arched his hand and replied: "Everything has been fine recently, but Lord Huang is okay?" ”

Huang Meng laughed a few times, brushed his eight-character nonsense and said, "Okay, okay." Don't be so polite, please! ”

Jin Ren was also not humble, and said loudly: "Please! Bento took the first step and walked into the restaurant.

As soon as he entered the restaurant, Jin Ren found that the dozens of tables in the lobby were almost full, and everyone was waiting for him, so he was a little embarrassed, so he said to everyone heartily: "I'm late, I'm late." ”

As soon as everyone heard that the county order was so close, they all let go of their restraints and laughed at the county order, saying, "The county order is not too late, just punish yourself with three cups later." As soon as the words fell, the lobby burst into laughter again, and the store was filled with the smell of merriment.

Jin Ren saw that everyone had let go of their restraints, so he also laughed along, and while laughing, he found his main seat and sat down, and Huang Meng also followed Jin Ren to sit in the partial position.

Jin Ren saw that the atmosphere was relatively harmonious, first squinted at this Huang Meng, and found that this Huang Meng was also looking at him, so he raised his glass and said to the guests: "Today is the day when the official banquet for you, not for anything else, but the official has been in office for three years but has never entertained your colleagues, I am ashamed, so I think that I can entertain you in Jiuxiang Building today, there is no official business today, and I hope you will eat and drink well, this cup, I will do it first as a respect." With that, he drank all the wine in the bottle in one gulp.

The people saw that this county order was so refreshing that there was no shelf, so they said "good" again and again, and then drank it all. After drinking, he also praised this wine as a really good wine, worthy of the gold-lettered signboard of "Yongqing First Floor".

Seeing this, Huang Meng had even more doubts in his heart, how could he just ask for a drink? This is not like Jin Ren's style, although this Jin Ren is a county magistrate, his style is completely different from himself. Isn't this kind of pomp and circumstance to entertain guests a regular family? So if you want to say it's okay, this Huang Meng doesn't believe it in his heart.

Huang Meng wondered what kind of medicine was sold in this golden gourd, but on the surface, he was silent, and the guests present were staggered and happy.

Jin Ren sat on the main seat, looking at everyone with a smile, but his eyes quietly shifted to Huang Meng's side, and when he saw that Huang Meng looked indifferent on his face, he estimated that he must have no bottom in his heart, so he picked up the wine glass and smiled at Huang Meng: "Lord Huang, this official has been in Yongqing for many years, and you, Lord Huang, have also helped the official a lot, this glass of wine, I salute Lord Huang." ”

Seeing this, Huang Meng thought that you old fox was going to be unbearable, so he also said with a smile: "Where is it, there is not much help to the adults below, but the adults themselves are diligent and love the people, high wind and bright festivals, and benefit Yongqing, this cup should be on behalf of all the people of Yongqing County to respect the adults." After finishing speaking, he didn't wait for Jin Ren to reply, and drank the wine in the bottle in one gulp.

Seeing this, this Jin Ren was quite embarrassed, hesitated for a while, then laughed dryly, drank the wine as well, and after drinking the wine, this Jin Ren began to speak: "Lord Huang, I heard that you are the nephew of the Duke of Dingguo of Jinling Mansion?"

As soon as Huang Meng heard that he had talked about Dingguo Gong, his face gradually smiled, and he pulled the corners of his mouth and said, "My father is the younger brother of Guogong. He said it quite loudly, as if he wanted people to hear it on purpose.

Jin Ren saw his thoughts, smiled even more happily, and said: "That's really a wealthy family, Lord Huang, I don't know much about the affairs of the capital, why don't you tell the lower officials about the affairs of the capital, so that I can also open my eyes?" This Jin Ren deliberately pretended to be very surprised and asked this Huang Meng for advice.

Although Huang Meng felt that there was something strange about this matter in his heart, he just asked, and he drank a few more glasses just now, so he didn't feel that there was anything wrong at this time, but he still asked rhetorically: "What does the adult mean by asking such questions?" ”

Jin Ren was taken aback, but he still reacted quickly, pretending to pick up the dishes while laughing slowly: "It's not a big deal, Lord Huang knows, this official has been away from Beijing for three years since he served as the commander of Yongqing County, and I thought that the situation in the capital at the beginning was probably very different from now, so I wanted to take the opportunity to ask the adult, the adult was born in a famous family in the capital, and naturally knew about the affairs of the capital, so I just wanted to ask the adult." Then he put down his chopsticks and took another sip of wine, which was very natural.

Without waiting for Huang Meng to speak, Jin Ren shouted to the big guy again: "Everyone must be curious to know what this capital is like, why don't you let Lord Huang describe it to everyone?" The big guy himself was a little drunk, and when he heard this, he was also very curious, so they all rushed to ask Huang Meng about the capital.

Huang Meng felt that if he said too much, he was afraid that Jin Ren, the old fox, would set himself up, he faintly felt that this banquet was not so simple today, and he wanted to refuse, but Jin Ren actually encouraged the big guy to ask, he was sure that there must be a problem in this, but he couldn't stand the crowd, so he reluctantly said: "Our Daliang Kingdom is the capital of Jinling Mansion." This Jinling Mansion is the existence of heaven and earth, Yu Zhai Sanren once described Jinling Mansion in his travelogue as: "Seven uniques in the world", and the poet Saint Pan Yue has a poem that says: "The willow color is not the central grass is still in the grass, the scattered flowers and spring water are green and long, and I want to go to the cold temple Qingyin place, and I am used to seeing the dragon and the shore back." ””

As soon as everyone saw it, good guys, they all began to talk about poetry, and they all began to talk eloquently, taking advantage of the atmosphere of this day, wanting to express what they saw and felt. Since the beginning of Emperor Wu, the Liang State has advocated culture and despised the practice of martial arts, so most of these people can't hold back when they see what kind of poems and songs they are talking about, and they can't hold back. one, is an official directly under Emperor Wen; One is a distant cousin of a famous family in the capital. So everyone is talking about the eyebrows and dancing, very cheerful.

This Huang Meng is also using the strength of wine, that is, the more he talks, the more energetic, as if he wants to spit out everything he sees and hears, this Jin Ren just looks at him from time to time, smiling, and frequently toasts to this Huang Meng, as if he wants to get Huang Meng drunk. This Huang Meng knew that the wine was invincible, but his current appearance was unstoppable, so he had to drink the wine one by one.

After a while, this Huang Mengah was exhausted of alcohol, and fell asleep on the table, Jin Ren looked at it, and said to the guests: "Today's banquet, the official is very happy to enjoy it with everyone, now it's the afternoon, this day is gradually getting hot, Lord Huang is also drunk, the official will accompany Lord Huang back first, let's get together another day?" ”

When people heard it, they naturally agreed, and the wine was drunk, and the love was happy, and the impression was also good. Even these two masters left, thinking that they would wait for them to go first, and then leave on their hind feet.

Let's say that this Jin Ren gave a look to his subordinates, and the subordinates understood, and supported this Huang Meng into his own carriage. The subordinates of the Huangfu looked at it, something was wrong, how did their master get into the carriage of the county order? It is necessary to stop it. At this time, Jin Ren walked out, saw this appearance, and hurriedly said to the next person: "Lord Huang is going to the official mansion to discuss matters, you should go back first." ”

When the next person saw that the county commander had spoken, he had to comply, and drove back in his own carriage.

Jin Ren watched in a daze as the carriage of the Yellow Mansion disappeared at the corner of the street, his figure bathed in the afternoon sun, looking from afar, in a trance.
