Chapter 90: Drunken and slightly drunk
In this era, Man Zhou Jia is already in high life, and those who are still alive will be invited to the Luming banquet of the township test of the department.
This is a great honor, but also a great blessing, in the Luming banquet officials have to toast to them, the new imperial examination people are even more bowed.
Yu Youtai was afraid that Qu Qingyan wouldn't know this, so he deliberately took the time to mention something beside her.
Qu Qingyan's heart warmed, and he retracted his gaze and followed everyone to get up and walk towards the old men in turn.
Zong Zirong stood in front of her, although Yu Youtai's voice was not loud just now, he also heard it clearly, and glanced at her with a smile when he was moving forward slowly.
"I didn't expect that Gongzi Qu still had some friendship with Lord Yu."
The weird tone of yin and yang made Qu Qingyan subconsciously look cold, and Gao Yayuan clarified her identity again, she no longer had the previous avoidance, and she was a little unkind when she came back.
"Master Yu is upright, with a clear distinction between public and private, and his father is the same year, is there anything wrong with taking care of one or two below?"
She bit the four words of public and private very hard, and Zong Zirong, who was not considered weak-hearted, inexplicably felt that her cold eyes seemed to be able to see through his thoughts, making him turn around a little embarrassed and talk to her again.
Since she bumped into this Zirong in the restaurant, Qu Qingyan has been constrained everywhere in Jinan in the past few months, and she has long held her breath in her heart, although she has not completely recovered it now, it is also a little bit out of the question.
This kind of banquet is halfway through, and the rest of the various ceremonies is all kinds of social entertainment, not all the people can go to the Jinbang High School in the subsequent examination hall, and most of them will become squires after the middle lift, and return to the local Tongzhi County on an equal footing.
In Qu Qingyan's opinion, the biggest use of this Luming banquet is that it can pull relationships, she was still a little reserved when she was from a poor family and recognized the teacher with her son Rong Fei, and the people next to her were already drinking with wine glasses.
The most exaggerated one is that in addition to the two examiners Zou Jincai and Yu Youtai, the examiners of the supervision, promotion, and invigilation have all been called teachers.
The flattering smile made Qu Qingyan have a thick layer of goosebumps around him.
There are three old people in Zhou Jia, all three of them are wearing good Hangzhou silk tailor-made straight clothes, a jade hook around their waists, an old man scarf with black linen yarn on their heads, and they are sitting on the seats with a smile on their faces, and the scenery is decent.
According to the usual practice, the five leaders will be the first to come forward to toast, and the five people will make a row and make a big salute first, and then toast in turn.
This deer feast is used in the spring wine, which is a special product of Jinan Prefecture, which has a clear aroma and soft taste, and is not a strong wine. But after a few cups, Qu Qingyan still felt hot in his stomach, and his head was already a little dizzy.
She secretly said that it was not good, but the entertainment at this Luming banquet had just begun, and after saluting a few old men in the armor, there were also examiners.
"Lord Yu invited me here just so that I could drink?"
Jiang Jinfeng put the wine glass in front of him, and someone behind him was already filling it for him.
"It was the prince of the world and the soldiers who fought bravely against the enemy at the border pass, so that there was peace and joy for our scholars today, and it was also their duty to let these people give a cup to the prince."
Yu Youtai's words were casual, but Jiang Jinfeng still clenched his wine glass suddenly, whether it was a scene or not, he was used!
"Lord Yu's words have some truth, and this son will bear it."
The conversation between the two of them fell in Zou Jincai's ears, but he couldn't help frowning, guarding the border pass was what these military attaches should do, and their hereditary titles enjoying the wealth that others did not have were already a reward for them, so how could they need their respect?
A cold snort floated into Yu Youtai's ears, Yu Youtai's face did not change, and he only raised his wine glass to Zou Jin.
Qu Qingyan is easy to be top-heavy when she is drunk, obviously her consciousness is not affected, but she will feel that her hands and feet are not her own, she walked to Yu Youtai with a smile, looked at the other party's Qingjun side face carefully, and couldn't help but smirk.
"The student toasts the teacher."
She actually had a stomach full of thanks and wanted to say, but in the face of that overly serious face, she couldn't say a word, so she could only smirk and handed over the wine glass and drank it all in Yu Youtai's slightly surprised gaze.
Yu Youtai waved to his subordinates behind him a little helplessly, "Qu Yayuan was a little drunk, and took him aside to drink a bowl of sobering soup." ”
Although Qu Qingyan is sober, she has the most typical characteristics of a drunk person, that is, she can't hear others say that she drank too much!
She waved her hand, her body shook twice, and she said very stubbornly: "The teacher is wrong, the student is not drunk, come, the student will toast you again, these days have caused trouble to the teacher." ”
She snatched the wine jug with her backhand and poured it for the two of them, Yu Youtai didn't have time to stop it, so she watched her pour a glass of wine into her stomach again.
Jiang Jinchang sat behind Jiang Jinfeng, and her actions happened to fall in his eyes, which made him feel a little contemptuous. As a woman, she is so infamous and frivolous......
Jiang Jinfeng saw Jiang Jinchang's expression in his eyes, and he was slightly puzzled in his heart, not understanding why this younger brother should pay so much attention to Qu Qingyan and have so many prejudices.
Qu Qingyan shook his body, the wine jug in his hand tilted, and he was about to pour the wine again, but Yu Youtai raised his hand and snatched the wine jug.
"Take him aside and bring it back after using up the decanting soup."
"Lord Yu is particularly concerned about Gongzi Qu." Jiang Jinchang muttered in a strange tone, and his voice did not fall directly into the ears of several people around him.
Yu Youtai saw that Qu Qingyan was taken to the bottom of the corridor, leaning against the pillar and squinting to wake up, then he turned to look at Jiang Jinchang, his eyes were extremely open.
"Xiaguan and his father were in the same year, and they had some friendship in the Guozi Prison back then, so it was appropriate to take care of the juniors on their behalf."
His words were already explained, but in Jiang Jinchang's ears, he always felt a little disguised to cover up.
He swept his eyes to Qu Qingyan and saw that her overly fair cheeks were flushed, her lips became more and more red due to drunkenness, and her long eyelashes trembled slightly and reflected a little on her eyelids.
With such a person day and night, he will not believe that Yu Youtai's care for her is just such a little reason.
"Heh, Lord Yu is really open, but he takes care of it very well."
His words made Yu Youtai's face change in an instant, the good man style of the Ming scholar likes Qu Qingyan like a delicate and soft pseudo-girl, he just explained in public for the sake of Qu Qingyan's reputation, but he didn't want this son of the Yongning Marquis Mansion to actually bring a dirty relationship between him and Qu Qingyan in public.
He is the same as Qu Bozhong, and he has always regarded Qu Qingyan as a junior, how can he accept such a slander.
"Third brother, don't talk nonsense," Jiang Jinfeng's sharp eyes swept over Jiang Jinchang with a little threat: "Don't apologize to Lord Yu yet!" ”
