34. Wine pond meat forest

We followed Daji to the back garden. Passing by a hall, my attention was drawn to a large portrait hanging on the wall.

The picture shows a beautiful woman wearing a white coat and riding a horse on the snow. It's completely dressed up as a northern alien. The only difference is that between the slit of her skirt and her boots, a slender thigh is also revealed.

I looked at her face. Marvel at the artist's skill in his heart. The beauty of that woman surpassed that of anyone I had ever seen in this world. Including Queen Daji and Lady Huang Ying, as well as other aristocratic women, they all pale in comparison to her.

Daji turned around and walked behind me, "This is Lady Kui Jiang." She said, "Do you see that tall building outside?" Mrs. Kui Jiang fell to her death in front of her. ”

The king was grief-stricken with her corpse that day, and almost wanted to go with her. I tried hard to persuade Mrs. Huang Ying, but to no avail. She looked up at the portrait on the wall, her eyes showing inexplicable sadness.

I asked, "Niangniang, the courtiers have heard that Mrs. Kui Jiang was originally a ghost woman, is it true?" ”

"Where?" Daji turned her head and smiled at me, "She is surnamed Jiang, how can she be a ghost woman." When Mrs. Kui Jiang was young, she accompanied her father to the ghost party, and was deeply loved by the ghost king and considered a righteous daughter. In order to make friends with the ghost party, Jiuhou left his daughter as a hostage. He lived in the grassland for several years, and did not return from the ghost side until he entered the palace. ”

We walked out of the hall and went downstairs to the place where Fang Cai Daji was pointing. I looked upstairs and saw three ancient characters engraved on the height: Star Picking Tower.

Daji seemed to have deliberately bypassed the ground in front of the building, and we followed suit. Presumably this is where Mrs. Kui Jiang fell.

Daji sighed softly, "To this day, every time the king walks here, he still sighs for a long time. A minister had suggested that the portrait be moved elsewhere. The king was immediately furious and almost killed his ministers on the spot. Since then, no one has dared to raise this proposal again. ”

Unexpectedly, this king is still a love saint.

The banquet was held in the back garden. Dressed in a luxurious and flowing white robe, the king was talking to several princes beside him. Daji leads us to the past one by one. I began to bother with bowing again.

In addition to Guzhu Jun Yaping and Princess Mo Fetal Ling, there are also Chonghou Hu and his wife from the west, Youhou Xi and his wife from the east, and Li Hou Gong and his wife from the north. If it weren't for Merlene's injury, Mabel should have brought her here. Then the representatives of the princes of the four directions will be complete.

After the visit, Daji was about to lead us to our seats, when the king suddenly stopped me. "Nezha!"

"Uncle King!" I hurriedly replied.

"Didn't you inquire about the wine pond meat forest?" He asked.

How did this spread so quickly? I blushed, "That's ......"

"You come with me, let you see my wine pond and meat forest."

I unconsciously followed him, and Shi Ji and several princes also followed.

On the inside of the pool in the middle of the garden, there is a very beautiful jade pool. Before I got closer, I smelled a strong smell of alcohol. I had never drunk alcohol in my previous life. The smell of alcohol made my head a little dizzy.

Is this a wine pool?

I watched closely. The wine pond is not large, and the whole is in the shape of a long strip. It is estimated to be four feet long, less than three feet wide, and less than one foot deep. The wine inside has a pale yellow color.

Li Hou stepped forward and introduced diligently: "There is wine in the palace, and I can't bear to enjoy it alone. Chonghou was specially appointed to build this jade pool. At the time of the banquet, the wine is poured into the cellar and the guests are free to take advantage of. ”

That's it! I estimated in my heart that the wine in the wine pool was only 8,000 catties. According to the drinking method of the ancients, there were hundreds of people, and they drank it up in a while. It's really not worth the fuss.

The King of the Rings looked a little disappointed when he saw that I didn't react to his masterpiece.

So I asked, "What about the meat forest?" ”

"That's it!" He pointed to the laurel grove behind the wine pool. I followed his finger and saw a lot of dried meat hanging from the tree near the wine pool.

We came closer. This time, it was Chonghou's turn to introduce: "When the king is hunting, the prey is rewarded to his subordinates and ministers. The excess prey is hung here to make dried meat. It is usually stored in the warehouse, and then put out for everyone to take when the banquet guests are entertained. ”

I looked up at the dried meat in the tree. From the perspective of the wine pond, it is barely said that it is a meat forest. But when you look closer, you can see that there are only two or three rows of dried meat, and dozens of laurel trees. It's hard to call it a meat forest.

The point is, now everyone's eyes are on me, waiting for me to make an evaluation. But what do I say? Actually, I was the most disappointed. I wanted to see the legendary wine pond meat forest, but I was shocked to see such a thing.

I held my breath for a long time before I could say a word. "Uncle, I don't understand, how can anyone oppose such a good thing."

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the three marquis were immediately cloudy. The marquis wanted to speak and stopped. The king smiled slightly and patted me on the shoulder, "What a good niece of mine!" Only you know my mind. I don't understand why those old ministers should oppose it. ”

He lowered his voice in my ear, "I understand, you think this wine pond meat forest is too small, don't you?" I'm building a big one over the Dune Palace. When I'm done, you'll have to go over and see it! ”

He put his arm around my shoulders and headed back to the pool. "I know that Ishiji-sensei doesn't drink. Drink two drinks with me! ”

I regret it a little in my heart. I want to see the wine pond meat forest, but I don't want to drink. The pale yellow liquid doesn't taste good when you look at it. So I turned my head to ask for help and looked at her pitifully.

I saw Shi Ji shake his head slightly. All this was seen by the king of the Emperor. He was quite displeased, "Teacher Shi Ji, a student at the women's college, is it forbidden to drink alcohol?" ”

Shi Ji smiled, "Not really. There is no such rule in women's colleges. But Nezha is a disciple of the Yuxu Sect, and if he drinks spirits, he will be punished by the door rules. ”

"I see." The King nodded, "I know. Jiao'er is also a disciple of Yuxu. I don't dare to drink alcohol on weekdays. Vegetarian sake is always fine! He took me by the hand and led me behind the flower bed. There is another smaller wine pool, which has a faint purplish red color and a faint aroma.

The king took two cups from the side and handed one of them to me. I looked at Ishiji again and saw that she nodded slightly.

"What a good boy!" The king smiled, "Listen to the teacher like this. ”

I didn't hesitate any longer, scooped up the bottom of a cup and tasted it. "Sweet?"

The king and the marquis stood around and looked at me with a smile. "Drink it!" The King asked. "Drink some more."

So I scooped up another full cup and drank it all.

"Then you can't eat meat or not." The king asked, "There are fruits from all sides over there, as well as imperial cakes for you to eat!" ”

It's not that I don't eat meat, but I don't eat dried meat. I did eat quite a bit that day. When I went back in the carriage with Ishiji, my stomach couldn't hold up. Shi Ji made fun of me along the way, saying that if I continue to eat like this, I will definitely become a little fat man in less than three years.

That night, I slept with Xiaoqian as usual. It's an agreement between the two of us. Before I left Asaka, we had to sleep together every night.

Early the next morning, I took my leave from Shiji. Make an appointment with Teacher Taiyi and go to Grandpa Bigan's house together.

When they arrived at Bigan Mansion, Jiang Shang's father and daughter had already arrived in advance. Fei Yan was by his side. Along with the Jiang father and daughter, there was also a man in his thirties who looked magnificent. Jiang Shang said that it was his nephew Lu Ding.

"Nezha," Jiang Shang asked me with squinted eyes, "Have you seen the wine pond meat forest?" How does it feel? ”

"Not good!" I blurted out. "So a big thing......"

"So a big thing?" Bigan looked at me with wide eyes. I was so scared that I didn't dare to squeak immediately. Fortunately, I am dressed conservatively and plainly today, and I haven't directly let him look at the unpleasant places.

"Hey!" He sighed, "Just carving that jade pool will cost you how much revenue from the treasury has been consumed. Not to mention how much food is consumed in that full pool of wine. Child, you grew up with a golden spoon in your mouth, and you don't know the hardships of the people! ”

I was embarrassed, but I was still resistant. The one who grew up with a golden spoon in his mouth was the original Nezha, not me. In my previous life, I was educated by bittersweet memories, and my family was never wealthy, but not to the point of not having enough to eat.

At this time, Jiang Shang began to play a round on the side, "Young people naturally have her perspective on the problem, and it can't be said that it is completely unreasonable. The young master does not need to be harsh. Moreover, I believe that with the wisdom of the young lady, as the experience grows, the perception of things will gradually mature. ”

He then turned to Bigan. "My lord, is it feasible to do what you have just said?"

Bigan pondered for a moment, "Siber has been confined to the Shrine for more than five years. During this period, the Dongyi, Beidi, and Southern barbarians continued to suffer from military disasters. Dashang is really in a state of being attacked from all sides. If Xibo can return to his hometown, he will guard the west, and at the same time curb the eastward advance of Beidi and Nanman. What the doctor said was the best of both worlds. ”

"It's very accessible to everyone. The six of you can disguise yourself as my guards and go with me to the Rim. Just ask Taiyi Immortal Master and Doctor Jiang to be wronged. ”

Taiyi arched his hand and said, "Where did the young master say come from?" I want to take this opportunity to get acquainted with the famous Xibo. I am grateful that the young master can provide this opportunity! ”

We followed the concubine into the room to meet the lady. Then he changed into six sets of white military uniforms that Bigan had gotten. Yi Jiang and I are two small women's military uniforms. Yi Jiang is taller than me, but her body is more slender than me. Wearing a heavy military uniform, the exposed calf and knee look particularly weak, as if they can be broken at the touch of a button.

Then a group of seven of us, divided into three carriages, went out of the north gate of Chaoge and headed towards Jinli.
