Chapter 17: The Night Banquet (1)
Outside the west gate of Yecheng, there are 1,000 soldiers stationed, and there is a team of Taoist people patrolling the vicinity of the big truck, thinking that it is very safe.
The promised third movie began to be screened, and the Western Wenshi only traveled through a full two days, and the power centers of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms flocked to Yecheng, just imagine that it is difficult for future generations to have such efficiency, most of them are still aiming for the early construction of the Han Kingdom, and they came to Yecheng to find a sense of existence, and the appearance of Western Wenshi is just an after-dinner dessert for these people. By the way.
It's just that I don't know what kind of fight it will be tonight.
Xi Wenshi took out his mobile phone to look at the time, just arrived at one o'clock in the afternoon, shook his head, this mobile phone is also useless, can only be used as a watch, ready to go back to the city. Entering the west gate, there were already soldiers forming a queue, and the fence had been lined up to impose martial law. This dinner should be the summit of the power of the five generations and ten countries. The replacement of a new country naturally affects the nerves of other countries, and it does not matter whether or not something can be negotiated, even if it is a war, it is important that the safety of the magnates who come to the banquet is important. At least the two countries are at war without slashing the envoys, let alone banquets.
When he arrived at the crossroads of the Jiedu Embassy, Xi Wenshi looked up, and the red carpet had been rolled out, and the width on both sides of the street was about eight meters, and the red carpet seamlessly connected the corners of the houses on both sides of the street, which was very dazzling.
As for the places where the horses and stones are tied and the carriages and sedan chairs are parked on both sides of the Jiedu Embassy, the red carpet is also laid out. The soldiers who were in charge of etiquette, and were on duty on both sides of the street according to the requirements of Western Wenshi, were all dressed in armor, if not brand new, at least cleaned, and the weapons in their hands were all the best blades selected by Guo Wei from the whole army in Yecheng, and the rusty ones were sharpened with whetstones. The soldiers holding swords lined up at the door of the Jiedu Embassy Mansion were all selected according to Zheng En's size ratio, and the grips of the swords were tied with red silk, echoing the red carpet, which was quite festive.
At the entrance of Guo's mansion, there are four soldiers who look polite and polite, holding a ceremonial flower tube, and when the housekeeper sings and the VIP team up, the back door can be set off at a 45° angle to the sky.
Ancient people were accustomed to two meals a day, but Western stone is a little unaccustomed. Came to the small kitchen courtyard of Guofu, there were maids in and out to prepare refreshments for the master to eat, Xi Wenshi looked at the kitchen board with a few newly slaughtered mutton, thinking about using a frying pan to fry lamb chops to eat, and greeted Zheng Enche lamb chops, Xi Wenshi took the condiments and pans to the yard, and used the common three-legged stove of the five dynasties and ten countries to make a fire, the pan was washed, and the peanut oil was put into the pot, and the lamb chops began to be fried. attracted the maids and servants in the house to watch, including the maids of the future daughter-in-law, so they first arranged to sprinkle the freshly fried lamb chops with pepper and other seasonings, and put them on a plate for them to serve to Xiaoqing. As for knives and forks or something, they are exempt, and Xi Wenshi has not cleaned up the items of the big truck in an all-round way, and I don't know if there are knives and forks or anything like that. However, the lamb chops are still cut into small pieces with a knife.
As for the Western Stone, it is the whole lamb chop that is directly gnawed by hand, a lamb chop is swallowed, and a bowl of mutton soup prepared by the kitchen is served on the dough, which is very comfortable.
The others were embarrassed to eat, only Zheng En unceremoniously asked Xi Wenshi to fry him a lamb chop, who told him to eat a lot?
The kitchen has been according to Xi Wenshi said, for the staff on duty in the house today to prepare afternoon tea, is a braised pork stewed cabbage and dough cake, simple and fast, everyone is required to finish the meal before the time, a little rest, from the time of the time to each in place, and a simulation drill, strict requirements not to leave the post. In the implementation of the activities that the Western Wenshi participated in in the later generations, it was encountered that the staff on the post felt that it was fun, and the situation that no one could be found everywhere.
Everything is ready to go.
As soon as the unitary time arrived, the housekeeper stuck to find the aragonite, and the guests began to come one after another. Wei Renpu and the housekeeper sang and posted at the door of the house to welcome the guests, Guo Wei greeted the guests by the shadow wall, and then Xi Wenshi took a group photo with a single-lens reflex camera in his hand, and then printed the photos and sent them to the guests as a souvenir.
Xi Wenshi calmed down a slightly nervous mood, the first wave of guests arrived, the Taoist Sect behind the Han Kingdom, under the leadership of the sect master Yang Sanmu, Liu Chengxun as a companion, took the lead in walking through the red carpet all the way, and marched towards the gate of the mansion with a surprised face.
The housekeeper sang and posted: "Dao Sect Master Yang Sanmu has arrived. Liu Chengxun, the prince of the Han Kingdom, arrived. ”
The ceremonial flower tube burst into the sky, overflowing with festive ceremonial flowers, and everyone in the Taoist sect did not feel strange when they looked at it, and walked through the middle flower path of the two teams of soldiers.
Wei Renpu stepped forward to greet him, entered the gatehouse and walked through the shadow wall, Guo Wei greeted him, and the main characters and Guo Wei stood in front of the shadow wall, and Xi Wenshi took pictures of them, in order not to frighten them, Xi Wenshi directly gave the flash, and it was over with a click. Then Yingjin sat down in the inner hall, Guo Wei sat with him and said a few words before coming out to continue to greet guests. The desserts of the Eight Immortals Table aroused the love of all the Taoist priests, and they ate them with relish, and drank eleven cups of mixed juice one after another, which was beautiful.
The ancients were very punctual in time, and the guests of the Four Great Dao Fields and the national magnates they supported also came in turn, and they saw the formation of the Dao Sect when they entered the arena in the back, but they did not compete for the order, who arrived first and who entered the field first, and those who followed waited on the side.
This time the housekeeper was busy, and he sang and posted vigorously.
"Shi Jianyi, the master of the famous lord, arrived, and Hu Jinsi, the commander of the army in Wu Yue's internal government."
"The lord of the Legalist family is here, and Zhong Yunzhang of the Southern Han Dynasty Ministry of Industry is here."
"Meng Chengtian, the lord of the soldiers, arrived, and Yuan Quan, the envoy of the Sixth Army of Southern Chu, arrived."
"The Mo family's lord beard is real, and Dali Xiangguo Dong Jialuo has arrived."
The ceremonial flower tube erupted, because of the proofing of the Taoist sect, the valve master of the four major avenues was majestic, and walked through with his entourage in turn, and a set of processes went straight to the inner hall to rest without mentioning.
When there were no figures on the main road in front of Guo's mansion, the group of Confucianism was guided and marched towards Guo's mansion. I saw that four of them dressed like Confucian young people rode horses to open the way, an eight-lift sedan chair in the center, there were several servants next to each of the eight-lift sedan chairs, followed by a slip of four small sedan chairs, steadily dropped the sedan chair in front of the Guo Mansion, and a Confucian man had already stepped forward to hand over the name card to the housekeeper.
"Confucianism Sect Master Deng Junli has arrived, and Li Hongji, the great prince of the Southern Tang Dynasty, has arrived."
Wei Renpu stepped forward, and Li Yu stood up from the side and entered side by side with Li Hongji and his party.
Waiting for the Confucian people to enter, the main road came to the Buddha sect, they were dressed in bright yellow monk robes, Kong Wu forcefully walked towards the Guo Mansion, the front of the road is holding a Zen staff, the monk with a ring knife on his back, the monks in the back are surrounded by a monk wearing a five-color robe, the face of the national character is a Buddha light flashing, at a glance it is an extraordinary person, and behind the fall is a group of monks holding a prayer curtain to unfold the guard of honor in the wind.
The butler stepped forward and sang a promise.
"The sect leader of the Buddha Sect, Cai Zhengqing, has arrived, and the king of Shu has returned."
The ceremonial flower tube sprayed into the air again, and Wei Renpu was introduced inside, walking through the process and entering the inner hall.
After everyone entered the inner hall, Guo Wei grabbed Xi Wenshi in front of the shadow wall and said in a low voice: "There are still Khitans who have not arrived yet, hey." I don't want the Khitan to destroy the Houjin Dynasty in the first month of this year and occupy Kaifeng Mansion, but now it is violent, and it seems that tonight will not be good. ”
