Chapter 18: Mid-Autumn Banquet (Add. ×1)
Zhao Kai had thought of this a long time ago, and he didn't have to think about it to know that Tong Guan must have said bad things about himself in the court.
As a privy envoy, the most unhappy thing is Tong Guan, if Tong Guan doesn't say something, Zhao Kai feels that there is a problem.
"It's Tong Guan, guessed it." Zhao Kai was also a little helpless.
I am not an official at all, and I didn't plan to get involved in the court, but now it's good, thanks to the blessings of Gao Yu and Liang Shicheng, I became a privy envoy, and it is estimated that it will not stop in the future.
Zhao Heng also guessed that Zhao Kai was unwilling to be an official, and he was involved in the court, so he couldn't say anything more, so he changed his words and said lightly, "I guess you didn't have dinner either, don't leave today, eat at the eldest brother's place, I'll call Huan Huan, Huan Huan, this girl thinks you think very much." ”
"It's fine." Zhao Heng borrowed 100,000 yuan to himself, and he couldn't lift his ass to save it, and thought of the little bean sprouts waiting for him outside the palace, and then said, "Big brother, I want to trouble you to send someone to the palace gate to inform the little bean sprouts, the little bean sprouts are still waiting for you." ”
"Big brother, let people go."
Zhao Kai stayed to eat, Zhao Heng was extremely happy, first asked people to prepare meals, informed Roufu, and then asked people to tell Xiao Bean Sprouts to go home first.
"I guess I will have to prepare for dinner for a while, come and play chess with my eldest brother." Zhao Heng said that he was going to get the chessboard.
As soon as Zhao Kai heard the chess, he quickly stopped Zhao Heng, "Big brother, you don't know, I've quit." ”
When Zhao Heng heard this, he frowned suspiciously, "Quitting?" Why do you quit well? ”
"It's hard to put into words." Zhao Kai remembered the scene of being abused by Zhao Heng and Roufu in turn that day, and couldn't help sighing, "Hey, it's hard to say." ”
"It's okay not to play chess, I recently wrote some poems, and I am going to show my hand at the Mid-Autumn Festival in a few days, third brother, you are more talented than the eldest brother, you give the eldest brother an appreciation." Zhao Heng took Zhao Kai to his study again.
Zhao Heng took out a lot of poems to show Zhao Kai, which was quite show-off.
Zhao Kai has seen these things one by one, and only feels that his head is big, although he is a liberal arts student, but poetry appreciation, Zhao Kai is really not good at it.
Of course, Zhao Kai naturally wouldn't say that he couldn't understand it, so he took these poems and pretended to look at them seriously, "It's good, it's good." ”
"The third brother must have prepared a lot of poems recently, and at the Mid-Autumn Festival in the past, the third brother was the most prominent." Zhao Heng said with a smug face, that is simply to say, my poetry is so good, envy, envy.
Zhao Kai shook his head slightly, "The little brother is not talented, the little brother is not talented." ”
The Mid-Autumn Festival is a court banquet for Song Huizong to entertain his ministers in the palace on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Every year's Mid-Autumn Festival, those Wenchen who think they are talented will prepare some poems related to the Mid-Autumn Festival, wanting to dominate and show their skills at the Mid-Autumn Festival.
A banquet originally to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival has become an opportunity for the ministers to compete for fame and fortune in disguise.
Zhao Kai, as the champion prince of the Northern Song Dynasty, learned to be rich and five cars, and was only eight buckets high, which was simply used to describe Zhao Kai.
The most prominent person in the Mid-Autumn Festival every year must be Zhao Kai, and even overshadowed Song Huizong for a time and became the intersection of the Mid-Autumn Festival.
It's just that the current Zhao Kai doesn't want the Mid-Autumn Festival to come at all, because the current Zhao Kai is no longer the champion prince of the year, but himself, an art student in the twentieth century, where can he write poems and lyrics, it's over, this will be ugly.
"What's the matter, third brother, your face is not very good?" Zhao Heng saw Zhao Kai's appearance and asked.
Zhao Kai smiled bitterly and said, "It's okay, it's okay, it's just that I'm worried about this Mid-Autumn Festival." ”
"The third brother won't Jiang Lang be exhausted, right? Hahaha. Zhao Heng said half-jokingly, worried about the Mid-Autumn Festival, Zhao Heng thought that he was the only one, but he didn't expect Zhao Kai to be worried.
"Hmm." Zhao Kai didn't hide it, and his face was free and easy, "It's really Jiang Lang's end, hey." ”
"Prince, King Yun, Fan Bai is ready, and Emperor Roufu has also arrived." A little eunuch stood at the door of the study and said.
"Let's go, third brother, it's time to eat." Zhao Heng put his arm on Zhao Kai's shoulders and left the study with a smile.
At the dinner table, Zhao Kai kept adding vegetables to Roufu, and he held half a chicken in his hand, and he was very happy to eat.
Zhao Heng and Roufu were shocked by Zhao Kai's savage eating method, forgot to move their chopsticks, and looked at Zhao Kai blankly.
Zhao Kai watched the two of them staring at him, only then did he realize that his eating appearance was a little bad, put down the half chicken in his hand, and said very calmly, "That, I'm too hungry, a little rude, don't care, eat quickly, Roufu, you are the time to grow your body, eat more meat, big brother, you eat too, eat some vegetables, healthy." ”
Zhao Heng looked at the full meat in the Roufu bowl, looked at the vegetables in his bowl, and said with a wry smile, "Third brother, you are too ... Hey, forget it, forget it. ”
Zhao Heng picked up the chopsticks and reluctantly ate the vegetables in his bowl, which was in stark contrast to the smiling Roufu and the savage Zhao Kai.
After dinner, Zhao Kai was escorted by Roufu and Chu Ran out of the palace, originally Zhao Kai wanted to flirt with Chu Ran and make friends, but Chu Ran's indifferent attitude hit Zhao Kai hard.
But Zhao Kai didn't give up, the fool generally waved his hand at Chu Ran, who was blind to him, and Roufu, but there was only Chu Ran in his eyes.
"Goodbye, brother, remember to have time to see Huanhuan." Roufu also waved his little hand to say goodbye to Zhao Kai, his eyes full of reluctance.
"Don't worry, my brother will come to see you whenever he is free, and of course Chu Ran." After Zhao Kai finished speaking, he was looking forward to Chu Ran looking at him.
Chu Ran didn't seem to hear it, and he didn't have an expression at all, let alone look at Zhao Kai.
And Roufu, Chu Ran said goodbye, Zhao Kai walked on the brightly lit streets, for a while, paragraph after paragraph, from the restaurant, teahouse artist fingers came from the sound of music, the laughter of the citizens, the tune of the silk and bamboo orchestra, and the sound of drinking freely into Zhao Kai's second middle school.
"The nightlife of the Northern Song Dynasty is no worse than that of later generations." Zhao Kai sighed with emotion.
In history, the earliest night markets appeared in the middle and early Tang Dynasty, and the night markets that really belonged to the citizens themselves appeared in the Song Dynasty.
The nightlife of the Northern Song Dynasty was very prosperous, "the night market was not until the end of the third watch, and then the fifth watch was reopened, and the noisy places were endless"; "Although the winter moon is windy, snowy and rainy, there is also a night market"
Of course, the nightlife of the Song people is not only shopping, shopping, eating and drinking, but also forming a unique and vivid night market culture.
The nightlife in the Northern Song Dynasty was so noisy that even the people in the palace were infinitely envious, and they often went shopping in casual clothes, and the small merchants and vendors who met these people usually raised their prices higher, so that the business was likely to be very profitable that night.
