At this time, there was a lot of traffic outside the door, and there was a lot of noise, obviously Lu Zhi and the guests had arrived. These ministers were all Lu Zhi's colleagues in the court, and they happened to come to Lu Mansion together in the court. Lu Yu and Liu Ze hurriedly went out to greet each other, and Lu Zhi smiled and introduced his colleagues to Liu Ze. Situ Zhang Wen, Shangshu Huang Wan, Guanglu Doctor Yang Ci, Counselor Ma Riyan, Right Zhonglang General Huangfu Song, Servant Yang Biao, Yilang Han Shuo, Zhang Tao, Wuhuan Zhonglang General Zong, good guys, are all heavyweight ministers of the court. Lu Zhi also introduced Liu Ze to the ministers: "This is Liu Ze, a student of the house. ”

Liu Ze's reputation is now almost well-known in Luoyang City, Zhang Wen exclaimed: "But Liu Rundehu of the porridge? ”

Liu Ze said respectfully: "It's exactly below." ”

Zhang Wen sighed: "The porridge is consumed every day, and people who are not benevolent and righteous cannot do it, I can't imagine that there is such a young talent, and it comes from the disciple of Lu Gong, you are really a disciple." ”

Huang Wan and others also praised: "Nowadays, the hearts of the people in this world are not ancient, the world is hot and cold, the people's hearts are as dangerous as snakes and scorpions, and the human feelings are as thin as spring ice. ”

Liu Ze said humbly: "The princes have praised it, but they can't do what they can, so why worry about it." ”

After some laughter, everyone has entered the middle hall, the wine banquet is complete, the sea and land are Chen, and the people present are the highest in the position of Zhang Wen, who is the elder, and he is the chief, and the rest of the people sit in order, and Lu Zhi is free to accompany each other in the main seat.

Yang Biao caught a glimpse of the table full of delicacies from the mountains and seas at a glance, and exclaimed: "Brother Fang Caizi is still crying poor, what kind of vulgar banquet do you say, dare to love this is also called coarse tea and light rice?" ”

Zhang Wen said: "A few of us are just here to fight the autumn breeze, but we let Zigan spend so much, it's really unpleasant." ”

Lu Zhi was also surprised, originally he asked his son Lu Yu to prepare a banquet, although he did not explain what kind of banquet was placed, but with the conditions of his own family, it is said that it is impossible to hold such a grand banquet. However, in front of so many old friends, Lu Zhi waved his hand and said, "It's rare for us to get together today, a little wine banquet is nothing, everyone, please take a seat." ”

Taking advantage of the fact that everyone was sitting down, Lu Zhi summoned Lu Yu to follow and asked the reason, Lu Yu muttered a few words in Lu Zhi's ear, Lu Zhi couldn't help but suddenly realize, and bowed slightly at Liu Ze, who was heading down.

As soon as Yang Biao sat down, he exclaimed again: "Yo, it's all blue and white porcelain, Brother Zi, it's so magnificent, in my opinion, there are no less than ten sets of blue and white porcelain here, and it's worth 10,000 gold." ”

Liu Ze couldn't help but be depressed, this Yang Biao, why is he so surprised, you are also from an official family, so you don't need to make such a fuss. But think about it, it's not that Yang Biao hasn't seen a big scene, the main thing is that Lu Zhi is honest and frugal, and he is also famous in Luoyang officialdom, they haven't been to Lu Mansion, and they can't imagine that Lu Zhi looks like a family with four walls, but he is so lavish and feasting, using a full set of blue and white porcelain tableware, which can't help but be impressive.

Lu Zhi smiled bitterly, it seems that it is a good thing that Liu Ze has done again, it is not that his name of frugality is ruined today, but in front of these old friends, it can be regarded as not losing any face, and his heart that was hanging in the air finally fell into his stomach.

I wanted to explain, but at this time, it was rumored that Cai Yong and Cai Bojiao came to visit, Lu Zhi didn't care about anything else, and hurriedly got up to greet him, although Cai Yong has not been reinstated yet, but they are all like-minded friends, Zhang Wen and others also went outside to greet them. Lu Yu and Liu Ze themselves also followed.

Liu Ze saw Cai Yong for the first time, he looked very thin, but his eyes were bright, and he seemed to be older than his actual age after the vicissitudes of life. Cai Yong is familiar with Zhang Wen and others, since he didn't need Lu Zhi's introduction, he introduced Liu Ze and Cai Yong to know each other, Cai Yong couldn't help but look at Liu Ze a few more times, and praised: "Helping the people, being humble and humble like a valley, Runde can be described as the luck of the people in the world." ”

Entering the middle hall, it was another push, Cai Yong sat down under Zhang Wen, and Liu Ze and Lu Yu naturally sat at the end. Lu Zhi asked people to take out the four jars of wine that Liu Ze sent yesterday.

As soon as he drank a glass, Huangfu Song, who was also a heavy drinker, praised the good wine and asked Lu Zhi where he bought such good wine. Lu Zhi told the truth and learned that it was Liu Ze's own wine, and Huangfu Song was very surprised, and directly asked Liu Ze for a few jars of wine. For the last famous general in the history of the Eastern Han Dynasty (although Dong Zhuo was also a famous general, but that was the Three Kingdoms), Liu Ze naturally wanted to be close and close, and sent wine to the Huangfu Mansion after the banquet.

Huangfu Song laughed and said, "Okay, thank you, it's just that I'm going to go on the expedition later today, and I'll drink this bar to celebrate the heroes after I break my yellow scarf." "According to the plan, the army of Lu Zhi and Huangfu Song will set out for the expedition this evening, and the other army will march to Yingchuan led by Zhu Jun two days ago.

Liu Ze raised his glass and said: "That is the case, in the lower power and with this glass of water and wine, I salute Mr. Lu and General Huangfu, and I wish you a successful start." ”

The others also toasted to each other, and the hall was full of laughter. That is, Huangfu Songwu was born, has a hearty personality, dares to think and act, sees good wine, and doesn't care if he is familiar with Liu Ze or not, he opens his mouth to ask for it, but other civil officials rely on their identity, although they like good wine, but they can't refute the love to ask for it, which makes Liu Ze feel at ease, after all, there is not much stock of this wine, and everyone really can't cope with it.

After three rounds of wine, Shangshu Huang Wan said: "Today's feast, how can there be no poetry to help the fun." Except for Huangfu Song and the sect members, the rest of the people were all literati, and as soon as they heard Huang Wan's words, they immediately agreed.

Among the crowd, the person with the highest literary talent is naturally Cai Yong, so a group of people coaxed Cai Yong to write a poem first, Cai Yong couldn't shirk it, so he said: "So, Yong Xian is ugly." This poem "Drinking Horses in the Great Wall Caves" was written by me a few years ago, please correct me. "Now he said:

"Green riverside grass. Thinking about the distance. It's inconceivable from afar. I dreamed of it in the past. I dreamed of being near me. Suddenly in a foreign land. Different counties in other places. Rotation is not visible. The dry mulberry knows the wind. The sea knows how cold it is. Getting started is flattering. Who is willing to say it. Guests come from afar. Leave me a double carp. Hu'er cooks carp. There is a ruler book. Kneel down and read a plain book. What a book. There are additional meals on it. There is a memory of the appearance below. ”

Everyone is cheering in unison, exchanging praise, Cai Yong's status in the literary world in the late Eastern Han Dynasty can be described as second to none, whether it is the epic Fu, or calligraphy music, can be called everyone, the attainments are quite high, this song "Drinking Horses Great Wall Cave Tour" is its representative work, the scene is blended, popular and fresh.

Later, Zhang Wen, Huang Wan, Ma Riyan, Yang Biao and others all wrote a poem to help the fun, and everyone ate the delicacies of the mountains and seas, drank the five grains and wine, and was full of interest.

Huang Wan said to Lu Zhi: "Zigan, it's rare to be so happy today, as the master, shouldn't you also write poems to help the fun." ”

Lu Zhi waved his hand and excused himself: "I'm not good at poetry, and you don't know it, with my half-baked level, I really can't do it." Let's do it, Runde, you can do it for the teacher. ”

Everyone cheered in unison, and Liu Ze had to stand up in front of everyone.

To tell the truth, Lu Zhi is not good at poetry, and Liu Ze really can't do it at all, the few poems he read in Lu's school before were all plagiarized from the works of later generations of poets, which made Lu Zhi mistakenly think that he was proficient in poetry and poetry, and it seems that he is still plagiarizing today. However, in the past, he could casually read out some Tang poems and Song poems, but now there are contemporary people, although the achievements of Chinese poetry are far less high than Tang poetry, but the styles of the two are very different, and it may not be appropriate to deal with Tang poetry.

Liu Ze's mind was spinning rapidly, when he was a child, he was used to memorizing 300 Tang poems, and he couldn't memorize Chinese poems, and he had to backlight and poems seven years later, otherwise the joke would be big. Thinking about it, there is - I can't remember other people's poems, but Cao Cao's poems can still be remembered clearly, so let's have a "Short Song Xing". At the moment, he arched his hand and said: "It's better to be respectful than to obey your fate, but it's too clumsy, and I ask you to correct it."

"Singing about wine, what is life? For example, the morning dew is bitter in the past. Be generous and unforgettable. How to solve the worries, only Du Kang. Qingqing Zijin, my heart is leisurely, but for the sake of the king, I have been groaning so far. Yo yo deer chirping, eating wild apples. I have guests, drummers and shengs. It's as clear as the moon, when can it be done? Worries come from it, and they cannot be cut off. The more strange it is, the more vain it exists. Feast and talk, thinking of the old kindness. The moon and stars are scarce, the black magpie flies south, and the tree is surrounded by three turns, what branch can be followed? The mountains are not tired of being high, and the water is not tired of being deep. Zhou Gong vomited and fed, and the world returned to the heart. ”
