In the world, there are many "fruits", and the first ripening is cherries. Cherry, "Erya" name Jing Ying, "Da Dai Li Ji" name peach, also known as Ying peach, called peach, according to the "Shuo Wen" research: Ying peach, the food contained by the warbler bird, so it is also known as the peach. Later pronounced as cherry.

The cherry banquet is held on April 1 every year, and the cherries of the forbidden garden are the first ripe fruits of the new year. Eating cherries is very particular, and it is a gold plate, a jade plate, a gold spoon and a silver spoon at every turn, and it is possible to achieve a visual effect.

Although the cherry fruit is small, it is red like agate, yellow like clotted fat, crystal clear, delicate and attractive, and it is very attractive.

Dugu Xinci will participate in the cherry banquet on April 1 in the future, and he hates trouble, but today is the continuation of the cherry banquet that day, but he has to come, because he is the one who pays the bill.

More than 600 ministers and workers made a noisy drinking and feasting, and the natural scene was very lively.

The saint seems to have just remembered at this moment, why didn't he see Dugu Xinci, today's protagonist?

Whether it is the Furong Pond Grass Market opposite or the royal banquet payer in the Furong Garden, the Far Eastern Hou Dugu Xinci is the absolute protagonist today, but since he left the Xuanzheng Hall of the Daming Palace, he has disappeared, even in the grass market.

So the sage asked Feng Yuanyi, the chief manager, to detain him.

After a while, the reluctant Wannian County magistrate was brought over, and naturally followed by the Empress Nalan who was dressed in men's white clothes.

"I've seen the saints, all the ministers, the queen, Concubine Wu Hui" Dugu bowed politely, and Nalan Feiya followed suit, although she didn't speak, she was in sync.

"The Marquis of Far East and Princess Phoenix are really talented men and women, and they envy others," Concubine Wu Hui said with a coquettish smile without waiting for the saint to speak.

"Concubine Xie Hui praised" Dugu Xinci thanked without blushing.

"You have time to go to me, today is the auspicious day for the opening of the grass market, why did you hide?" The saint also laughed.

"Uh, it's out of sight and out of mind, looking at the heart, I had to silently smash the pot and sell iron to raise money" Dugu Xinci was full of resentment.

The saint choked, this knife today is indeed a bit ruthless.

"Hey, Marquis of the Far East, a certain Manchu Dynasty civil and military is celebrating Ru Wannian County, how can you be full of resentment? Now is the time of the feast, the cherry banquet on April 1 is the future to celebrate, should be punished with three glasses of wine" Zhang said Xianggong hurriedly spoke.

"Is it still a bad name for being unsociable and despising colleagues?" Dugu smiled kindly, but his words made Zhang Shuo's face dark, and he despised his colleagues and was unsociable, which was the crime he had experienced.

"Why are you so ignorant, boy? Zhang Xianggong came to celebrate you and others, but you are so uninteresting? "The saint is dissatisfied.

"Okay, thank you Zhang Xianggong and all the ministers can come to cheer for the opening ceremony of Furong Chicao City in Wannian County, a representative of Wannian County is very grateful, a certain toast to you, I wish you all good luck and good luck" Dugu Xinci then raised a glass and drank with everyone, and the saint also let him sit down at an empty table on the side.

"On the first day of the new year, the cherry banquet can be full of good sentences, although today is a supplementary banquet, but how can there be no poetry?" Zhang said that Xianggong didn't care, but mentioned another thing about Dugu's kindness and dislike.

"Yes, last time Wang Wei's hibiscus will be a thousand officials, you can't lag behind, if a poem is a good sentence, a certain master will reduce 10,000 yuan for you" The sage also echoed.

On April 1, Wang Wei was taken to the cherry banquet when he returned to Beijing, and he was edicted to give a hundred officials cherries:

"His Majesty Furong will meet thousands of officials, and the Forbidden Zhu Ying will come out of the upper part.

It is after the spring recommendation of the dormitory, and it is not the remnant of the bird in the Imperial Garden.

Return to the saddle with a green silk cage, and the middle envoy frequently tilts the red jade plate.

There is no need to worry about internal heat when you are full, and the big officials also have cane syrup cold. ”

The Kaiyuan Miscellaneous News also published this poem, which was very well received, and there was also a poem by Li Taibai in the same period with the title of cherry.

"Don't come to the spring and don't return home, the jade window sees cherry blossoms.

In addition, there is a brocade book, which makes people sigh.

At this point, the intestines are broken, and the other heart is broken.

The clouds and green temples are combed and knotted, and they are sad like rushing back to the snow.

Last year, I sent books and newspapers to the balcony, and this year I sent books to urge each other.

The east wind blows the clouds for me to make the west.

If you don't come, the flowers will be lonely. ”

Dugu Xinci smiled when she saw it at the time: "Princess Yuzhen can't lock the heart of a prodigal son?" Let it still have a broken heart? ”

At this moment, when he heard about the squeeze between the saints and the ministers, Dugu looked at the red cherry that was almost the same as a fish-eyed bead with a sad heart, and he was very congested.

On the side, the Empress Nalan saw her lover's sad face, and knew that she was a little depressed, so she got up and said, "The saint and you are together, the banquet is a relaxed and happy thing, and the poem should be written first, you are humble, and you also have a poem today, how about throwing bricks and attracting jade first?" ”

"Little Phoenix's poetry was good when he was a child, much better than your father, and if there are poems now, then chant them to appreciate them," the sage smiled.

"The pomegranate is still small, and I love four or five flowers in this mountain.

The wind curls in front of the oblique sun court, and thousands of pieces of blue oil leak red beads. ”

After the recitation of the Empress Nalan, the ministers applauded.

"If Princess Phoenix participated in the system last year, I'm afraid that Dugu Tanhua will be changed to Nalan Tanhua?" Zhang said that Xianggong complimented.

"This issue of the Kaiyuan Miscellaneous Newspaper must publish this verse? Congratulations to many female talents in Yan and Tang, "The saint is also very happy."

"Xiaoya works hard, come, eat shrimp and eat shrimp" Dugu Xinci hurriedly prepared vegetables for his sweetheart.

The cherry banquet was held in the Ziyun Building of Furong Garden, where you can vaguely see the situation of the Hibiscus Pond Grass Market opposite, where should it be crowded at this moment.

Ziyun Building is built according to the water, the beautiful scenery of the apricot garden in the hibiscus garden is unobstructed, the situation on the hibiscus pond is also vivid, the hibiscus pond is also a gathering of boats today, many painting boats shuttle, scholars and beauties, Luo Shang brocade robes, warblers laughing.

"Are they really at ease?" Nalan Feiya looked at the ladies gathered on several painting boats, and she was very envious of the water play.

"Wait a minute, and we will also take a boat to play," Dugu said intimately.

"It's good to watch, there are too many people, and it's not fun to play, it's better to go to Gongchuan Lake" Nalan Feiya shook her head.

"That's right, I will go back to Gongchuan tomorrow to rest for a few days" Dugu is kind and kind.

"You want to be lazy again?" Nalan Feiya chuckled.

"A combination of work and rest?"

"I only saw your comfort, when did I see you working hard?"

"These hands haven't stopped? Isn't it very hard? "Dugu Xinci innocently spreads his hands, and he is peeling shrimp with him.

"Okay, a certain Ming Mansion has worked hard, this reward is for you" Nalan Feiya picked up a shrimp and put it in the lover's dish.

"Dugu Ming Mansion, Far East Hou" at this moment, there are people who are disturbing the scenery.

Dugu looked up dissatisfied, but saw that all the ministers were looking at him with a smile, and asked puzzledly, "What's the matter?" Oh, the money has been calculated, a total of 1,680,000, a certain round number, 1,700,000, this is flying money, saint, so and so will be with you first, how you and others are accounted for is not a matter of something? ”

Dugu Xinci handed over a stack of flying money and asked General Yang Siqiao Yang to send it over.

"Who's in a hurry about that money? This kid is too cheesy, now it is a cherry feast, the first fruit at four o'clock, and the cherry banquet of the royal banquet is also a bumper harvest this year, a good omen, you should remember the poem? The saint drank a little excitedly, and shouted again and again.

"Hehe" Dugu Xinci said twice, but handed a plate of cherries that had just been mixed with cheese to Empress Nalan, and provocatively scooped up one with a spoon and put it in her mouth, the meaning is obvious, a certain is very busy, don't make a big deal of the scenery.

"How is it so difficult to make you verse?" The saint ignored his mood and said hatefully.

Dugu Xinci blinked, and chanted:

"Elephant opera red tusk bureau, pipa green brocade. The small window is sleepy with fragrant mash. Outside the curtain, the eaves of the palace willows, the green shade. The smoky warbler is near, and the wind is slight and the swallow is high. More cheese with cherries. Give the man a hand, a spoon to copy. ”

Everyone laughed, and Empress Nalan also blushed.

"Thou art too fat," the sage said.

"A piece of spring sorrow is waiting for the wine to be poured. The boat on the river is rocking. Upstairs curtain moves. Qiu Niangdu and Spring Niangjiao. The wind is blowing again. The rain is bleak again.

When will I go home and wash my robes? Silver word sheng tone. The heart word incense burns. Streamers are easy to throw people away. Red cherries. Green plantains. ”

Dugu Xinci is here again.

"Streamers are easy to throw people around. Red cherries. Green plantains. This sentence is good, not bad, Dugu Tanhua is talented, but there is no wind and no rain? Zhang said that Xianggong praised again and again.

"The cherries are returning in spring, and the butterflies are turning gold and powder. Zigui cries the moon in the west of the small building, the jade hook curtain,

The melancholy twilight is falling. After the alleys are lonely and people disperse, the tobacco is in a slump. The incense of the furnace is idle and the phoenix,

Holding the belt empty, looking back and hating. ”

Dugu Xinci will do another song.

The saint regretted provoking this demon wolf a little, not to mention its artistic conception, these words are also today's first-class good poems? How does this make the feast go on? Three songs as soon as they come up?

Nalan Feiya smiled, handed the spoon in the cherry plate to the lover, and Dugu Xinci immediately said again, "Cherry mouth, willow waist, green eyebrows, condensed snow skin." Looking back and smiling, the country is captivated. ”

The meaning of laughing is too strong, and it naturally wins a pinch.

The saint and the ministers secretly scolded that they deserved it, so they no longer paid attention to the charming situation here, and the monarch and the ministers continued to drink and feast, and no longer provoked this lonely Tanhua who owed his mouth.

The belated cherry banquet was drunk until the sun was about to set west, and Dugu Xinci and Nalan Feiya had gradually moved to the bottom of the purple cloud corridor, leaning on the railing and whispering, but they heard the sage summoning him again.

The building has gradually been hollowed out, and only the Zhongshu Ling Zhang Shuo and the left attendant Lang Yuan Qianyao of the Yellow Gate, the right attendant Lang Yu Wenrong of the Zhongshu have been left, and Song Jing, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Xiao Song, the secretary of the Ministry of War, Wang Hui, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, and Yin Wang Zhisu of the Jingzhao Mansion.

Queen Wang has not left, but Concubine Wu Hui is nowhere to be seen, and there are more crown prince Yan Ying and fourth prince Yan Jun who have not been seen for many days.

The sage rubbed his eyebrows and asked, "Are you also ready for martial arts?" ”

Dugu Xinci knew that it was himself who was asking, so he replied, "Everything is there"

"Well, you can rest assured that you will do something, and you also need to tell them more about Song Shangshu, Xiao Shangshu, Wang Shangshu, Wang Fuyin, and them," the sage taught.

"Yes, if the three Shangshu don't think it's noisy, it's okay to report it every day," Dugu Xinci said with a smile.

"The Far Eastern Hou's ability to do things is the first class of Yan Tang, and a certain class can be trusted, and the final announcement is enough to wait for a certain one, the Far Eastern Hou is young and strong, and the matter of martial arts still needs to be bothered more" Wang Huishang also smiled.

Song Jingshangshu and Xiao Songshangshu also nodded, and Wang Zhishu Mansion Yin couldn't help but nod his head.

"I'm afraid that this kid will come to Hu, you and the other three are Zhigongju, and one is his top boss, so naturally you need to strictly control it" The sage commanded, and everyone nodded.

"Today's stay is about the placement of a certain eastern tour after the stay, after the eighteenth martial arts test, a certain will start on the twentieth, the prince will stay in prison, Song Jingshangshu will take charge of the overall situation, the political affairs hall Yuan Qianyaoqing and Yuwenqing auxiliary government, the six departments Wang Huishangshu and Xiao Songshangshu look at the point, Wang Fu Yin is left behind in Kyoto, and the six people including Chaozheng Ru are discussing the disposal"

Dugu Xinci was also a little surprised, and actually let Song Jingshangshu take charge of the overall situation? Looking at Yuan Qianyao Huangmen's waiter, he was not much surprised, the prince was still thinking behind closed doors since he was educated in Wanhualou last time, and there was not much discoloration at the moment.

"General Pei Min stays behind, Feng Daban, who is the prime minister of Lijingmen in Kyoto?"

"No one has been decided," Feng Yuanyi replied.

"Oh, after you went on a tour of the east, let the land of Gyeonggi let Dugu Xinci Prime Minister right?" The saint commanded.

"Something busy? How can you have time to pay attention to Lijingmen? "Dugu is kind and doesn't do it.

"Just let you watch, someone will take care of the idle things," the saint glared.

"Okay, I'm going to raise my fortune" Dugu Xinci took the opportunity to threaten.

"If you have been staying in Chang'an City for half a year, you will be given a good fortune when you return to Beijing," the sage smiled and promised.

"Is it someone who lacks those three melons and two dates? It's better to save these few dollars for the imperial court. Dugu Xinci immediately changed his words.

"Zhuqing is the humerus of Yan and Tang, the eastern tour is a major event of the country, but the stability of Kyoto is also the foundation of the country, I hope that Zhuqing will work together to ensure safety, and on the day of a return, it will be a celebration for Zhuqing" The saint toasted and won with everyone.

So the monarchs and ministers in the building were happy and peaceful.

"The most important thing in Kyoto in the past half a year is naturally the test of martial arts, Tianxing Ru gives a good look at it, if there is a mistake, Chi can't spare you" The sage was very angry when he saw Dugu's heart and compassion and didn't care.

"A certain is just a deputy envoy of Zhigong, and when he is on a business, Chi can only bear the responsibility of a certain person," Dugu Xin quibbled.

"It seems that the Marquis of Far East dislikes that his position is too small, why don't you give this Zhigong to you?" Song Jingshang answered.

"Excuse me, you are big and you are in front," Dugu Xinci hurriedly replied.

"Sage, why don't you make a proposal for the Marquis of Far East to join the political affairs hall to participate in politics?" Zhang said that Xianggong suddenly proposed.

"A certain look is feasible," Song Jingshang said.

"That's right, Wannian County in Dugu Ming Mansion is the first county in the world, and the stability of Kyoto is controlled by Dugu Ming Mansion, and it is also a good thing to enter the political hall" Yuan Qianyao also seconded the proposal.

"What? Let a certain political governor? Can you know how old you are? "Dugu Xinci is frightened, and he is a political governor? Can that be called a father-in-law? So there are a lot of good days waiting for you? Entering the political hall at a young age? Going to pull the skin and stretch with a bunch of old fritters?

And if a certain person enters the political hall, those princes who are still left behind, what do the princes think? Twenty Lang dang's little guy will become a minister? Will those seventy or eighty old ministers die in one fell swoop? I don't know how many powerful ministers will hold grudges? How much scolding will you attract behind your back?

"Aren't you over twenty?" The saint also smiled and shook his head, "Forget it, look at his?" How can there be a fair appearance? Let him be lazy for a few years, right? You can just call him when something happens, and you don't need the false name of the governor who participates in politics."

"Or is the saint wise, and a certain has an enmity with you? It's so hard to kill someone? Dugu was dissatisfied and shouted at several ministers.

The smoky warbler is near, and the wind is slight and the swallow is high. More cheese with cherries. Give the man a hand, a spoon to copy.
