Chapter 20: The Liquor Order
Just when Li Mingyuan was criticizing and educating Gao Zhiming, not far behind him, Xie Xian and others were listening to his high views with great interest.
"General Xiahou, is this the loyal Lieutenant Li you said?" Xie Xian looked at Li Mingyuan, who was like a river, and asked.
"Well, this, yes, his name is Li Mingyuan, he has three elder brothers, all of whom sacrificed their lives for the country, and his parents have also passed away, but even so, he still works hard to study, and now he has a reputation for talent. My mother also admired him very much, and originally recruited him to come to my house as a general, but now she gave him books, so that he can study with peace of mind, and he will be on the list in the next year's township test! Xiahou Yong's words were not exaggerated, and Xie Xian also nodded slightly.
Among these people, in addition to Xiahou Yong and Xie Xian, there are also Ma Yangping, the Taishou of Weiwu County, Zhao Changwen, the king of Liang, and several generals who were rewarded this time. Li Mingyuan was arrogant in front of so many bigwigs, which really made Xiahou Yong's face gloomy.
Among several people, the most proud is too Shou Ma Yangping, he, a member of the imperial examination, has been crushed to death by Xiahou Yong, a martial artist, but he can't fight him, the only one in Liangzhou who can compete with Xiahou Yong is the state pastor Zhiyi and Liang Wang Zhao Changwen, but one of these two is his son-in-law, and the other is the second generation of the emperor who only cares about poetry and painting, and he can't count on it. So Ma Yangping could only be bullied tragically every day.
In the afternoon, when several bigwigs chatted, Li Mingyuan was mentioned, and Xiahou Yong also called him "a loyal and brave man!" "But now it seems that this loyal and brave man is a little too much to be on the stage, and the minister of the Qin Mission, Qi, can he Li Mingyuan comment casually? Thinking of this, Ma Yangping decided to take this opportunity to give Xiahou Yong some eye drops to make him nauseous.
"It seems that the Hou Ye is really a royal family, a small family general can be cultivated with such insight, the lower officials admire, admire!" Ma Yangping praised with a smile, but the fool heard the implication.
In the face of Ma Yangping's sarcasm, Xiahou Yong couldn't refute it, just as he blew his beard and stared, King Liang, who had been wandering outside the world, muttered, "This kid can talk a lot!" The voice was not loud, but there was a hint of appreciation in his words, which made Ma Yangping, who was originally proud, immediately deflated. The prince said that people are good, of course he has to get to know each other.
Xie Xian, who had been watching from the wall, smiled slightly, "It's not early, King Liang, Lord Hou, Master Ma, let's take a seat!" "Since ancient times, no matter which dynasty, the military generals have always been at odds, in addition to the different means and ideas of the two sides, it is more of an emperor's mind, no emperor hopes that his courtiers can unite as one, that will be the biggest threat to the imperial power, so Xie Xian is too lazy to care, as long as you don't delay state affairs, you can make trouble.
"Chincha-sama, please!"
"King Liang, please!"
It was another burst of politeness, Xie Xian is Qincha, representing the emperor, naturally walking in the forefront, King Liang followed, and the rest of the people followed, when passing by Li Mingyuan's side, Xie Xian also glanced at him, King Liang also smiled slightly, but Xiahou Yong glared fiercely, leaving a sentence to go back to you to settle accounts.
Seeing the bigwigs entering the table, Li Mingyuan was a little nervous and said, "Zhiming, what's the matter?" What kind of account does Master Hou have to settle with me? ”
Gao Zhiming scratched his head and said helplessly, "Brother Li, when you spoke just now, Master Hou and they were always listening to it!" ”
"What? Then why don't you remind me? Li Mingyuan almost didn't jump.
"I want to warn you, you won't give me a chance to open my mouth at all!" Gao Zhiming felt so wronged.
"Woohoo, alas!" Li Mingyuan closed his eyes in pain.
"Brother Li, what's wrong?"
"It's okay, I've heard the sound of my future disappearing at this moment!"
"It's in smoke!"
"I know it! I don't need you to teach! Li Mingyuan went straight away.
Because the banquet was invited to Lord Qincha, and King Liang sat with him, the grade of this banquet was naturally not low: incense burning Baoding, flowers and gold bottles. Xianyin Academy competes for new sounds, and the teaching workshop is frequent. Inside the crystal pot, there is all purple house elixir; The amber cup was filled with Yao Chi jade liquid. Tortoiseshell plates are piled with peaches and fruits, and glass bowls are served for bear's paws and camels' hooves. The scales are cut into silver threads, and the jade is cooked in fine tea. The dancing girl in the red skirt follows the elephant board and flute; The cui-sleeved singer is clustered with dragons and phoenixes. In front of the two rows of beads and green steps, a faction of sheng songs came to the seat.
There are a total of ten seats on the wine table, Xie Xian is naturally the first, King Liang and Xiahou Yong are separated, Ma Yangping and Zhu Zhiqing, the deputy envoy of the Qincha Household Department, sit down together, and the remaining five people, including Li Mingyuan, also sat down one after another, and Li Mingyuan, who had the lowest status, of course sat opposite Xie Xian, and it was also the lowest position.
Unlike other people's seriousness, Li Mingyuan was thinking about how to have the opportunity to touch her daughter's details to Xiahou Yong. To be honest, Li Mingyuan still wondered a little in his heart, although this Xiahou Yong is brave, but he looks like that, and his wife can only be regarded as middle-class, but how can he give birth to such a beautiful girl? is still the goddess of his crush, which makes Li Mingyuan quite puzzling.
Accompanied by the good news of the singers, Xie Xian took the initiative to pick up the wine glass and clinked glasses to Xiahou Yong, "Come, Lord Hou, this official wishes you the title of Marquis and eternal favor." He struck the Huns one day, for His Majesty, for Dahua to create brilliance! ”
Qin Cha has spoken, and everyone can't help but express it, and everyone who had just sat down for a long time got up again, and followed Xie Xian to toast Xiahou Yong, who was full of red light and drank it all.
The wine has passed three rounds, and the dishes have passed five flavors. Ma Yangping, who had not been able to interject, finally couldn't help but jump out, "Lord Xie, King Liang, Master Hou, this dry drinking is really not interesting, everyone here is the talent of the country's pillars, I think it's better to have a wine order to help the fun!" ”
Hearing Ma Yangping's suggestion, Xiahou Yong couldn't wait to smash the wine glass on this guy's head, is there such a shuddering person? I'm all a reckless man with iron and blood on the edge of the knife, it's good to be able to write my own name, and I'm still under the wine order, your sister!
Not only Xiahou Yong's face was ugly, but several generals were also very embarrassed, they knew in their hearts what level they were, and they would definitely lose their pants if they were to lose the poems, but they didn't know how to refuse in front of the prince of Qincha, and the big men had to desperately pull their hair to find a way, eh, the pressure was huge!
"Mattheshou's proposal is good, it's really boring to just drink, it's good to have a drinking order to help the fun!" Zhu Zhiqing, deputy envoy of the Qin Mission, agreed.
"Okay, I also agree, this king's favorite is to meet friends with literature, Lord Xie, Ma Taishou, I wish you all learned people, today this king is like you to ask for advice!" Among the many princes, King Liang is the most talented, chanting poetry and painting, proficient in everything, but unfortunately he was sealed in Liangzhou, if it is in the rich Jiangnan, it must be the merry prince who is famous in Qinglou.
