Chapter 13: The Feast
"The bamboo leads the spring breeze into the wine, and the cool air of the forest invades the skin. The ice mountains are stacked without heat, not like the six or six hours in the world. When Lin Feng changed his clothes and sat quietly in the water pavilion in the back garden of King Zheng's mansion and waited for the banquet to begin, he remembered the Song Dynasty poetess Zhu Shuzhen's "Banquet for Mrs. Tang".
At this time, although it was noon, the pond was full of spring breeze and the surrounding flowers were fragrant, which was very comfortable for Lin Feng after strenuous exercise. This water pavilion is obviously larger than the ordinary water pavilion, with a huge round hardwood table in the middle, a circle of brocade benches around it, and a pen, ink, paper and inkstone in the northeast corner, which is obviously a place where Li Yu often comes to feast and drink and compose poems.
In a moment, the wine feast was served like flowing water.
Li Yu took the lead in raising his glass and stood up: "Today, Mr. Lin has shown his might in the arena, which makes the audience look sideways, which is really the pride of readers." Come, let's all toast to Mr. Lin! ”
Lin Feng hurriedly stood up and replied sincerely: "Lin was born in the war-torn place in the north of the river, his parents were both affected by military disasters, Mujiangnan was prosperous in civil and military peace, he traveled thousands of miles and did not change his will, and he was fortunate to meet King Zheng in embarrassment. In this life, Lin is willing to do his best to help His Royal Highness become a saint adult, melt into the scenery of the south of the Yangtze River, help the Tang Dynasty martial arts to flourish, and resonate with the eternal beauty of my Tang Dynasty. ”
"Okay, let's wish the Tang Dynasty a thousand years. We respect Mr. Lin! Li Yu applauded, and everyone agreed and drank it all.
Lin Feng's words at this time, many people on the spot thought that it was his words for the occasion, and a few years later, when someone recalled this scene, they found that Lin Feng had actually announced his lifelong ambition to the public at this time.
After drinking a glass of wine, Lin Feng officially became a staff member of King Zheng's Mansion in the eyes of everyone, known as the "Entry Day" in history.
Entering the curtain is better than the imperial examination, this is the consensus of the scholars at that time. During the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, each regime was a continuation of the power of the late Tang Dynasty feudal towns, and they took their own military force as the basis of their rule, and in their bones were the ruling philosophy of the family and the world, so they often reused their staff, and many important positions were often temporarily sent to appoint staff to do, which led to the continuation of a set of official positions in the Tang Dynasty almost fictitious. And the imperial examination is much more difficult, because of the heavy imperial examination in the Southern Tang Dynasty, basically the whole country's lifts are concentrated in Jinling to catch the examination, Pan Ben once laughed at himself: "The five moves are still white"; In the original history, Qiu Xu, the champion of Li Yu's reign, once recorded: "Those who move nine times and drag white are six or seven."
After three rounds of wine, when everyone began to blush, Lin Feng stood up with the wine, and first toasted Liu Yu: "His Royal Highness King Zheng, life is easy, it is difficult to get Bole, Lin Feng has to meet His Royal Highness, it is really a great luck to have three lives!" Please have a drink of Your Highness, Lin will do it first! "Raise a glass and drink it all.
Li Yu also drank it on his back, and said with a cup: "From Jia Zhiqian, I hope that Mr. Lin will know everything in the future, and he will say everything, thank you, Mr. Xie!" ”
"Ha Luha, as long as His Highness doesn't dislike being abrupt!" After Lin Feng finished speaking, he turned to Li Congqian: "Your Royal Highness the Nine, although you are young, you have the style of a general between your words and deeds, you were born in an imperial family but you are kind to your subordinates, he will become a great weapon one day, Lin will wait and see." ”
Becoming a general in the army is exactly what Li Congqian has never said to humanity, hearing Lin Feng say this, he immediately grabbed the juice in front of him and touched the cup with Lin Feng: "I hope that I will have the opportunity to gallop with Mr. Lin in the future and show up my martial arts." ”
In the future, after Lin Feng's tempering and forging, Li Congqian became a well-known wise general and fierce general in the Southern Tang Dynasty.
Lin Feng walked towards Liu Cheng and arched his hand and said, "Brother Zhiqing, I have won a few steps today, and I have offended a lot, please forgive Lin for being rude." ”
Liu Cheng opened his mouth a few times, although he was not convinced, but Lin Feng won the upright, he had nothing to say, and finally had to respond: "Mr. Lin is humble, I hope to ask Mr. Lin again in three days." ”
"Okay, in three days, we'll learn from each other and learn from each other." Lin Feng turned to Wei San again: "Thanks to Brother Wei today, Lin is embarrassed." Lin really knows that there are many inferiorities, and he will ask Brother Wei for more advice in the future! ”
Wei San stood up: "Mr. is a scholar, better than those of us who rely on our bodies to eat, we should be ashamed of it." Today, Wei has done his best, but he is really out of reach. Both of them clinked glasses and drank them all.
Subsequently, Lin Feng clinked glasses with Chen Li and the others present one by one.
After the last, Lin Feng turned to Wang Shenming and raised his glass to signal: "Ziyue, you and I have an encounter and friendship in the same car, Lin gives you a drink." ”
Wang Shenming hurriedly stood up: "It's really Shen Ming's honor to hear Mr. Wen's masterpiece." After drinking the wine in the cup, Wang Shenming didn't sit down, and directly chanted Lin Feng's plagiarized "Linjiang Immortal": "Rolling Yangtze River East Passing Water, Lang Flowers Exhaust Heroes." Success or failure turns empty, the green mountains are still there, and the sunset is red several times.
The white-haired fisherman is on the river, accustomed to watching the autumn moon and spring breeze. A pot of turbid wine is happy to meet, and many things in ancient and modern times are laughing and talking. ”
Li Congqian, Wei San and others were stunned when they heard this poem for the first time. This is really a "historical theory", who is competing?
"Mr. Lin, good poetry, good poetry!" Liu Cheng, Wei San and others are martial artists, and they don't feel too big, but Li Congqian listens to his father and brother chanting all day long, and he can still distinguish between good and bad, and he feels that the realm in the poem is completely different from the so-called love between men and women in daily life.
"His Royal Highness the Ninth is falsely praised!" Lin Feng replied with a slight blush, although he had plagiarized a lot, he still needed to use the smell of alcohol to cover up his courage.
"I get along today, why don't you chant a poem, sir, let me wait to be edified." Li Congqian began to coax. Suddenly, everyone's eyes were focused on Lin Feng.
After thinking about it for a while, there are really not many works for this kind of occasion. Forget it, take the opportunity to show your loyalty. Lin Feng arched his hand: "Lin is ugly!"
Confucianism came out of the poor alleys. Poetry and books are handsome and deep. Suddenly roared and the dragon groaned.
I am a corporal of King Zhengmen, and I have wine and teach when I meet. Mountains and rivers meet bosom friends. ”
This is the Southern Song Dynasty poet, calligrapher Zhang Xiaoxiang made "Huanxi Sha", Lin Feng in the original work in the "jade festival beads out of the Hanlin, the mighty tiger roaring back to the dragon, I am Mr. Corporal Corporal" three sentences have been partially tampered with.
When Li Yu heard this, although he was happy with Lin Feng's knowledge, he was startled by the word "dragon yin", the fifth brother has always been suspicious, and he didn't dare to spread this poem outside. Li Yu raised his glass: "Mr. is talented, Mr. is really a blessing from Jiazhi!" Here, let's have another drink! Then, Li Yu clinked glasses with everyone one by one and covered up the matter.
