Zhao Min returned to his seat and sat honestly. The two angels that the officials in the room of the pen & fun &www.biquge.info amp; pavilion saw were square, one was square and serious, and the other seemed to be a follow-up, but in fact he didn't want to deal with them at all, and he didn't want to be bored. But after all, in front of the angel, it was not as noisy as just now, so the banquet gradually quieted down.

At this moment, the banquet was basically full, and just when everyone was bored, they suddenly heard the master of ceremonies shouting: "Lord Cao of the Qingzhou Thorn History Department is here!" ”

Everyone stood up to greet each other, and this veritable first person in Qingzhou finally made his debut.

The bloated Lord Thorn Shi was still as Zhao Min had seen before, with a smiling face like Maitreya Buddha, and he bowed his hand to everyone in the audience with a smile. When he walked to the chairman, he apologized to Zhao Duo and Zhong Kui first: "Cao is late, tired of the two angels waiting for a long time, guilty of sin!" ”

Zhao Duo returned the salute expressionlessly, but Zhong Kui said leisurely: "Lord Assassin Shi has every opportunity, worrying about the country and the people, and it is appropriate to come later!" ”

Generally speaking, when attending a banquet or meeting, the host must be the last to appear, which is not only a way to show prestige but also to remind everyone of their identity, which is not unusual. Unexpectedly, when he heard Zhong Kui's meaning at this time, there was a hint of sarcasm in his words, which made the smile on Cao Kai's face stiffen, and the scene was suddenly a little embarrassing.

Fortunately, Cao Kai is also an old man, and he quickly recovered his expression, looked up to the sky and snorted, walked back to his seat, and didn't say much, only waved his hand and ordered: "Feast!" As soon as the words fell, the servants behind the table brought all kinds of dishes and wines to the table.

Cao Kai raised his voice and said: "Today's banquet is set up for the angels of the imperial court. Today, Cao Mou is a big one, and he set up a rule here, and he only talks about Fengyue tonight, regardless of state affairs, and the right should let the monarchs be busy! ”

After speaking, he got up and raised his wine glass, and raised it to the west: "We can have today, and we are all blessed by His Majesty the Son of Heaven." Today's first glass of wine, let me wait for Your Majesty's birthday! ”

Everyone picked up their wine glasses and got up, and said in unison: "For Your Majesty's birthday!" ”

After drinking the first cup, Cao Kai did not sit down, waited for the servants to fill the wine, turned to the envoy duo and toasted: "The angel has worked hard for the country, and he has suffered all the way. Come, come, come, drink this cup with me, dry! ”

Everyone congratulated again: "Wash the dust for the angels, do it!" ”

Zhao Duo on the seat raised his glass and dipped his lower lip shallowly, but Zhong Kui unceremoniously raised his neck and drank it all, and smacked his lips unfinished.

After the second cup was drunk, Cao Kai continued: "All the gentlemen present are all officials of the imperial court, working day and night on political affairs, and today this third cup of wine, please congratulate you with Cao!" ”

"Congratulations to Cao Qingzhou!"

After three glasses of wine, the dinner party officially begins, which is also known as the three rounds of wine. The third is the smallest number that can represent more, so the so-called three rounds are more drunk, and everyone is now close, so you can feel more casual.

Indeed, after these three glasses of wine, the venue gradually began to live. The lord on the chairman said that he was finished, and then the subordinate officials performed. I saw that the governors of the state capital, Beijia, Bing Cao and others took turns to come forward to toast the two envoys.

The performance of the two messengers was very different. Zhao Duo may be old, or he may not like to drink, everyone who comes to toast is a shallow taste, coupled with his old-fashioned and solemn face, the toaster is inconvenient and does not dare to persuade more, so he has to respond to the story in vain, raise his glass and leave stupidly.

On the other hand, Zhong Kui beside him is a dry glass of wine, and he does not refuse to come, and even when he drinks to the upside, even if the other party wants to leave, he has to carry the other party to drink another glass. And no matter how this person drinks, his face never changes, only the eyes that seemed to be sleepy at the beginning, but the more he drank, the brighter he became.

Zhao Min sat silently alone, although people came to toast from time to time, he also learned to drink like Zhao Duo, but he showed people with a smile, at least much more cordial than Zhao Duo's old man. Gradually, everyone on the chairman had gone to the Lord Assassin and the imperial envoy to walk around, and then Zhao Min, who was sitting still, was particularly conspicuous.

Zhao Min looked at the expressions of the people around him coldly, ignoring the strange eyes cast by everyone. Just kidding, I'll go to toast after your Cao Qingzhou subordinates go down to toast, doesn't it really seem that I am one level lower than the Qingzhou subordinates? Don't go, resolutely don't. Thinking so in his heart, Zhao Min was content to suck the wine and sit alone.

For a while, there were only four people sitting upright above the entire chairman, except for Cao Kai and the two messengers, the other was naturally Zhao Min. The difference is that the people who toast in front of the first three people are like a marquee, but Zhao Min is full of people in front of him, until there is no one in the end. Originally, toasting this thing is to show respect, it is the rule of the scene, you are alone here to break the rules, of course everyone is not willing to play with you anymore.

When the wine was hot, I suddenly didn't know who, maybe I drank too much wine and forgot, or maybe I didn't notice the scene that happened in front of the banquet, and suddenly said when I toasted Zhong Kui: "I have heard the name of Mr. Miaozhen for a long time, and I don't know if I can take advantage of this beautiful scenery to see one or two with my generation?" ”

As soon as the words fell, the surroundings immediately fell silent, and everyone knew that something was wrong. Sure enough, Zhong Kui, who was drinking freely, suddenly stopped, and his brows furrowed. The toaster also realized that the situation was not right at this time, and said a little later: "But...... But what's wrong with that? ”

Zhong Kui stood up and let out a cold snort from his nose, "Fang Cai has already said that now there is only Zhong Zuo, who is indifferent to mediocrity, and there is no Zhong Miaozhen who indulges in landscapes." I'm tired of everyone, Hugh has to mention the word resignation again, Mo insulted the sages! ”

After that, he got up and wanted to leave. Everyone hurriedly pulled the hard persuasion, and then they breathed a sigh of relief, as if talking to themselves: "In the court, there is only the smell of decay, how can I hear the voice of Cen Yun." He sighed, sat down again, poured himself a glass of wine, and drank it all, looking indescribably lonely.

When everyone heard this, they looked at each other, this is a public criticism of the court! Who would dare to take this stubble? If one accidentally falls into the ears of the official, it is to praise and disparage the current affairs, and if you don't get it right, you will be burned.

In the midst of this embarrassment, a burst of laughter suddenly came. Everyone turned their faces to look, but it was Lord Cao Qingzhou who was laughing loudly! I only heard Cao Kai laugh and said: "Lord Zhong is really fast-talking." However, in a certain opinion, although it is said that the people in the court have no words, and everyone here has official status, this statement is irrefutable. But today, there is a character, who has no official position and no position, and can indulge in the mountains and rivers, why doesn't Lord Zhong write poems and words? ”

Zhao Min was holding his arms to watch the excitement, and when he heard Cao Kai say the words "no official and no position", he chuckled in his heart, and secretly said in his heart that it was not good, according to Cao Kai's small-bellied chicken intestines, most of them wanted to lead the fire over. was thinking about how to deal with it, and sure enough, Cao Kai spoke: "Now that the four princes of Beihai who are patrolling Beihai are at the banquet, why don't Lord Zhong ask him?" ”

After saying that, everyone's eyes fell on Zhao Min in the corner. Indeed, the officials in this room, excluding the subordinates, do not count, if you want to say that there are no officials and no positions, Zhao Min is barely counted.

To be honest, Cao Kai's words are really not high-level, and the intention of dragging Zhao Minsheng in is too obvious, and Zhong Kui can completely ignore him. But I don't know if Zhong Kui drank too much or what, he really gave Zhao Minyao a salute, and said leisurely: "What Lord Cao said is true, only the king of Beihai has no official position here, and he can send his love to the landscape, so he is really envious!" ”

Hearing this, Zhao Min really didn't know how to answer, so he had to reluctantly answer: "Why did Lord Zhong say this, Min...... Min is actually stubborn by nature, how can there be a freehand mind between the mountains and rivers! ”

Zhong Kui shook his head and said: "Above the court, all day long, benevolence and filial piety, such rules and so exquisite, even the so-called literary scholars are mostly vassals and elegant, only caring about the four and six, the rhetoric is piled up, and the spirituality of the text itself has long been lost." Only as chic and free as the King of the North Sea can you express your heart and inadvertently express your inspiration. ”

After speaking, his eyes gradually dimmed, as if he was talking to Zhao Min and as if he was talking to himself: "If you are so open-minded, time is running out, and you should cherish it." ”

I don't know why, seeing his gloomy appearance, Zhao Min suddenly felt a sense of regret, although he didn't quite understand the meaning of his last sentence, but he blurted out eagerly: "Brother Jun's words are wrong!" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned. Zhong Kui also looked at Zhao Min in surprise, "Would you like to hear about it?" ”

Zhao Min regretted it when he said it, but at this time he had to bite the bullet and say: "The article is natural, and the clever hand gets it." Don't you know that the world is full of knowledge, and the practice of human feelings is the article? Who said that the court can't be an article? Look at the court, there are also many things that can be advised, not only in the mountains and rivers can chant words! ”

As soon as the words fell, the banquet was suddenly so quiet that it could be heard. Zhong Kui was stunned suddenly, and then his eyes became brighter and brighter, and he suddenly slapped the case: "The article is natural, and the magic hand can get it." Good! Good! A good insight into the world is knowledgeable, and the practice of human feelings is an article! ”

After speaking, he left the table in front of Zhao Min and bowed deeply: "When I heard Jun's words, Kui suddenly became enlightened." It turns out that the past few years have been deserted! Thank you Beihai King for your advice, Kui is grateful! ”

Zhao Min was at a loss at this time, and said in a panic: "The kid is talking nonsense, where can I teach Mr." I'm ashamed! ”

Zhong Kui shook his head and said: "Master said, if you are a threesome, you must have my teacher, and there is no deception in this statement." Today's grace, Kui should be remembered, Xu Tu will come to the future! Farewell! After saying that, he laughed three times, turned around straight, and left a room of people like this, and left on his own.

Everyone was stunned, and Zhao Duo, who had been silent, also slowly got up, walked to Zhao Min's side, looked at him deeply, and slowly spit out a word in his mouth: "Okay." Then he turned to face Cao Kai and arched his hand: "The old man is old, and he has been bumpy and tired all the way, and he is not strong enough to drink." Thank you Lord Cao for your hospitality today, and I will leave the old man! After saying that, he left slowly.

Cao Kai obviously didn't expect the situation to evolve into this way, and his original intention was to take the opportunity to satirize Zhao Min so that he couldn't get off the stage, because people with a little news channel knew that the four princes of the dynasty were uneducated and unskilled, and they just took the opportunity to take a breath. Unexpectedly, with a casual sentence or two, he actually said that the dignified genius was convincing and willing to bow down?

This banquet was originally set up for the two messengers to catch the wind, the two protagonists are gone, what is the matter with this group of people still gathering here? Everyone looked around in a daze, and they were all at a loss.

Seeing the scene like this, Zhao Min was secretly refreshed, but he didn't want to stimulate Cao Kai anymore, the so-called forgiving and forgiving people. So he also followed Zhao Duo's example and said: "Thank you Lord Cao for your hospitality, Min is also too strong to drink, so I will leave!" After saying that, he beckoned to Meng Hou and the others, and went out with grace.
