Chapter 136: It's Another Year Old Tonight (New Year's Day)
Seating is an old convention. Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang sat on the high seats, and Zhao Yun and Xiang Xia sat in the lower seats of them because of their different identities this time. Guan and Zhang sat opposite the clouds, and the others were ranked in order of seniority and fame.
"Zilong, this person is almost here." Liu Bei sat in the ward and sighed.
"Yes, my lord." Zhao Yun nodded his jaw.
"Then let's get started." Liu Beihan smiled and ordered to go down.
"Okay." Zhao Yun responded and clapped his hands: "Someone." ”
Immediately afterwards, two rows of servants entered the lobby with a variety of delicious dishes and fresh wines, which were neatly placed on various wine tables. After it was placed, the servants all politely stepped back and served.
Zhao Yunhe glanced at Xiang Xia and tacitly understood. As the hosts, the two got up together, toasted together, and saluted first.
"My lord, this is a new plum wine that I made with Summer. Plum wine is sweet and delicious, rich and delicious, and it is not easy to get drunk, so you can drink it with confidence. Yun and his wife often receive the kindness and anointing of the lord, and my husband and wife are grateful to the lord, so they toast the lord with this cup of green plum wine. May the Lord extend the benefits of the annual rings and show the Hongping again. ”
"In the summer, I also wish the lord's smile to stay forever, and there will be no end in time."
The eloquent congratulations of the two of them made Liu Bei laugh, raised his wine glass, and shook it three times: "Okay, I have accepted the wishes of the two of you." You and your wife are also the older generation who follow me Liu Bei, and I Liu Bei will rely on you more in the future. Of course, I hope you are doing well. I also wish you two a long love and grow old together. Dry! ”
After that, Liu Bei drank a cup of wine. Yuntian and the others said: "Thank you, lord." "Empty the glass of wine.
"Shhhhh It's really sweet and delicious. How sweet the water must be to nourish such a delicious plum wine. Liu Bei put down his wine glass and nodded, very satisfied. The attendant then filled the cup with it.
Liu Bei raised his glass again, smiled, and said: "Tonight is the end of another year, and the new green plum respects Yulin." Respect the emperor and the queen of heaven, respect the gods and the earth, respect all things in the world, respect the New Year of the coming year, and also respect you and I have a cup. ”
As he spoke, Liu Bei glanced at the people in the circle hall and raised his glass again. Everyone also tacitly agreed, raised a glass together, and said: "Respect the lord." ”
Everyone drank this green plum wine, their stomachs were warm, and their hearts were also delicious. Then, everyone began to exchange glasses.
"Zilong, in the summer, should we also have a drink?" Zhuge Liang smiled and said to him and his wife.
"Strategist, we respect you." Yuntian and the two got up.
"Oh, no. Sit down, sit down. Zhuge Liang waved his hand and motioned for them to sit. He has never had so much red tape, and he has a very close relationship with the two of them.
"Yun also wants to thank the military advisor for taking care of him all the time." Zhao Yun sat up straight, polite and humble. But then again, it is true that Zhuge Liang favors Zhao Yun, and it is also true that he attaches importance to him, and everyone can see it. In this year alone, Zhao Yun should be a leader in the army.
"I want to thank you, and I thank you. Thank you for holding today's banquet well and thoughtfully, and thank you for your dedication and loyalty. Zhuge Liang was thanked by Zhao Yun like this, but he also became polite. Then he looked back to the summer.
"In the summer, thanks to the protection of the military advisor, I hope that the next year... The military advisor can also take care of me more. Xiang Xia thought about it for a long time, and always felt that there was no greeting worthy of him and presented it to him. After thinking about it, I still want to say something realistic.
"What? Have you gotten your body and started to itch? Zhuge Liang joked with a smile.
"It's been a long time ago, next time you bring Zilong, just remember to bring me with you." Xiang Xia licked his face and grinned.
"Uh..." Zhao Yun frowned, looked at the little wife beside him, and then looked at Zhuge Liang. Seeing Zhuge Liang smiling, for fear that he would really agree, he hurriedly spoke out to stop him: "Military advisor, don't listen to her nonsense." ”
"I know that. If you and your wife show affection again, you will arouse the wrath of the people. Zhuge Liang smiled.
"That's it, I haven't had a drink with the two of you a few times before, and I will never let you two go again today." The others shouted and shouted.
"Good, good. Today, Yun must accompany all brothers to drink enough, and my mother's share is also counted on my head. Please also ask all the brothers to be merciful, don't embarrass my wife. Zhao Yun nodded at everyone and clenched his fists.
"Hey!" Everyone waved their hands, smiling evilly at the show, and they were still showing affection. It's rare to catch a chance, so they won't be merciful.
"Strategist, do it." Zhao Yun took Xiang Xia to have a drink with Zhuge Liang.
Before Zhuge Liang put down the wine glass in his hand, he heard Zhang Fei complain: "Strategist, you just look for Brother Zilong to drink, and you don't want me to drink?" Just when everyone pointed the finger at Yuntian and the others, Zhang Fei deliberately stood up to find Zhuge Liang's stubble. For some reason, Zhang Fei likes to bully literati like military advisors.
"Yide, find, find. How can I not ask you to drink? "Zhuge Liang is full of spring breeze and broad-minded. After the servant was full of wine, he raised his glass: "Yide, I hope you will be calm in the New Year." If I get good wine in the future, you will have to do it. But don't be greedy for a cup, greedy for a cup is easy to spoil. ”
Zhang Fei's addiction to alcohol is a well-known thing, and many of them have made mistakes and crimes due to alcohol, but they are all covered up in Liu Bei's face. Zhuge Liang's words not only pleased Zhang Fei, but also alerted him.
"Oh, you're fine, you're just too cautious! I Zhang Yide's stomach, I can fit it in ten jars of wine, just a few glasses of wine are not enough to stuff my teeth, what else can happen? What's bad? Zhang Fei disagreed, waved his hand boldly, and was ashamed.
"Alas, third brother, the military advisor is right. Don't be complacent, and don't take it lightly. The New Year's reminder given to you by the military advisor, keep it in mind. Liu Bei had a serious face and taught a lesson seriously.
"Yes, brother. I remembered. Zhang Fei's arrogance subsided a lot, and he shrank his head stupidly. In order to resolve the embarrassment, he hurriedly raised his glass to cover up the past: "Strategist, what are you doing!" ”
"Good, good, good!"
Guan Yu, who had been silent, also raised his glass: "Big brother, military advisor, I toast you." ”
"Okay, Yun Chang has a heart." The two of them are happy to renew the cup.
"Brother Zilong, summer girl, let's have a drink too." Guan Yu's stereotyped face also showed a lot of smiles today.
"Yun Chang (second brother), do it!" If the two of them have the most noodles, the wine glass has never been broken.
After the elders and peers finished toasting, it was the turn of the younger generation to toast.
Guan Ping paid tribute to several honorable men, and then saluted the two of them: "Ping'er wishes Uncle Zilong and Aunt Xia happiness and early birth of a noble son." Strive to let Ping'er hug her younger brother or sister earlier. ”
These words almost made Xiang Xia choke, coughed several times in embarrassment, and his little face was so ashamed that he wanted to burrow into the ground. Zhao Yun was relatively calm, hesitated, pursed his lips and said, "Uh... Uncle will try for it. ”
"Hahaha...", everyone heard this and burst into laughter.
"It's still Ping'er's words that are the most sincere." Liu Bei also grinned and looked at Zhuge Liang.
"Young people after all." Zhuge Liang.
"yes. After all, young people, like us, are old every year, and their face is better every year. Liu Bei said with emotion.
Zhuge Liang smiled but did not speak, and nodded in agreement. Liu Bei continued, "Count, Ping'er is sixteen years old." ”
"Returning to my lord, yes." Guan Ping replied.
"It's also the year of the shelf, and it's time to start a family soon. Do you have a favorite person? Liu Bei asked with his mouth open.
"This.." Guan Ping looked a little embarrassed. Don't look at him as if he is only about fifteen or sixteen, but he already has the appearance of a little adult.
"Hey, a dignified man, if you have it, you have it, if you don't, you don't. What is this, what is that? Zhang Fei couldn't look at it, and slapped the table with a big grin.
"Eh, third brother." Guan Yu was still protecting the calf, and was busy pushing Zhang Fei back.
"Third brother, how old is Ping'er, it's normal to be ashamed to say it. You just say that everyone is just like you, huh? Liu Bei's words were quite joking.
"Same as me? What about me? Brother! Zhang Fei rubbed his head suspiciously.
"I'll not say anything, let's save some face for you. Wait, you're going to argue with me again. Liu Bei flicked his sleeves, he still wanted to be clean.
"Brother, why are you like this? Don't talk about it halfway, what the hell is it? Zhang Fei quit, as if he didn't figure it out and vowed not to give up.
"Ahh Liu Bei sighed helplessly, so he had to say it, but it was still quite vague: "You forgot how you married your brother and sister in the first place?" ”
When they heard this, they turned their heads and ears to each other. Xiang Xia also suddenly realized that he began to cover his mouth and snicker. Zhao Yunxian asked curiously, "Lady, what are you laughing at?" ”
"I know what Big Brother is trying to express." Xiang Xia also followed the ladies in the backyard several times to get along with each other, and knew a little about Zhang Fei and his wife Xiahou.
"Oh? What is it? Zhao Yun was also interested and wanted to find out.
Zhang Fei pondered for a long time, but he was still ignorant, how could he still remember the old things. I was unwilling, and I saw that Xiang Xia was smiling like a little mouse, and I didn't do it anymore.
"Little Summer, what are you laughing at?" Zhang Fei puffed up.
"Can't tell." Xiang Xia immediately covered his mouth with his hand.
"Good girl, talk about it." Zhang Fei was coquettish, and looked at Liu Bei with a pair of round eyes: "Big brother, you just tell my brother directly!" ”
"If you know about it, let it be said. See if it's the same as I'm going to say. Liu Bei turned his attention to Xiang Xia.
"Huh?" Xiang Xia opened her mouth, and everyone in the hall cast curious glances at her.
"If you want me to say yes, third brother, you can't blame me later." Xiang Xia said, and then looked at Liu Bei: "Big brother, if the third brother blames me, you must help me." ”
