Chapter Forty-Three: A Man Is Pregnant?

As mentioned last time, Liu Hou and a group of civil and military officials went to the "Parade Building" for a banquet. When he arrived at the place, Liu Hou found that this "parade building" was quite majestic and exquisite.

The building is three stories high, and the entire building is made of wood, with four columns, cornices, helmets and other structures. In the building, four Nanmu golden pillars run through the roof of the building, and the corridor, fang, rafters, purlins are tenoned with each other around the building, and form a whole.

The location of this "parade building" is also quite good, looking down at the Dongting, looking at the Jun Mountain in front, sitting on the upper floor of the open Dongting scenery at a glance, pleasing to the eye, open-minded.

Liu Hou looked at this building and felt very familiar, lowered his head and thought for a while, and thought, "Could it be that this is the predecessor of Yueyang Tower?" ”

Yueyang Tower has the reputation of "Dongting Tianxia Water, Yueyang Tianxia Tower" since ancient times, and Hubei Wuchang Yellow Crane Tower, Jiangxi Nanchang Tengwang Pavilion and called "the three famous buildings in the south of the Yangtze River". Liu Hou of Yueyang Tower naturally knew about it, but at this time, even Yueyang didn't have it, so naturally there was no such thing as Yueyang Tower.

However, it is not excluded that there is already such a building, but it is still called by other names, and when Baling is renamed Yueyang, this building will naturally be renamed Yueyang Tower.

Of course, this is just Liu Hou's speculation, in fact, he doesn't know that Yueyang Tower was built in that year. Therefore, there is no way to investigate whether this "parade building" is the Yueyang Building of later generations.

Everyone went up to the third floor, sat down in a priority and ordered, and there were soldiers who put food and wine on the table. This "parade building" originally belonged to a military facility, which was used by the general of Soochow to inspect the Dongting Naval Army, and was not open to outsiders at all, let alone used as a restaurant.

After Yueyang was occupied by the Shu army, all military facilities were naturally taken over by the Shu army. Zhang Bao saw that this building was majestic and exquisite, the geographical location was good, and he could enjoy the scenery of Dongting Lake and Jun Mountain.

Guan Xing also agreed with his mention when he heard it, so the two went separately to invite a group of civil and military officials, and arranged for the firehead army in the army to build a temporary stove downstairs, cook downstairs, and prepare dishes for everyone to drink and feast.

In order to enrich the dishes, they also asked people to invite a few famous chefs to the most famous restaurants in the city, and went to the lake to find fishermen to buy some fish, shrimp, crabs, mussels and other lake fresh, and went to the market to buy a dried seasonal vegetables and fruits, not to mention the slaughter of pigs and sheep.

Liu Hou didn't expect that these two usually babbling boys would be so careful this time and be able to arrange such a sumptuous feast.

After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food, facing the picturesque scenery, everyone has a big heart, let go to eat and drink. During the banquet, each person's expression was different.

For example, the vulture bone and the ehuan belong to the rough people, they like to drink in a large pottery bowl and pour it through, and they drink the strongest liquor. They like to put one foot on the stool and make a punch that Liu Hou can't understand, and of course, they also like to make loud noises that can shock a lion to death.

Guo Youzhi and Zhang Zhongjing belong to the Sven people, and the two of them each used a bronze wine lord, and slowly tasted the wine while chanting poems, which was so elegant. They drink low-alcohol glutinous rice wine, which has the health preservation effect of warming and nourishing qi, replenishing qi and nourishing the skin.

Zhang Xingcai and Zhou Xue are not like a pair of love rivals, but like close friends in the boudoir, the two of them chatted together in a low voice, and laughed like silver bells from time to time. Both of them have been in the military camp since childhood, and they have been practicing martial arts and soldiers since childhood, so they have a common language when they talk.

Although Zhang Xingcai has now shifted most of his energy to scientific exploration, his hobbies and hobbies are still there, and he is aroused by interest whenever he has the opportunity. They drank not wine but fruit juice, all kinds of fresh fruits, and used stone mills to grind the juice, which was Liu Hou's favorite thing to drink in the past.

Liu Hou, Zhang Bao and Guan Xing drank a low-alcohol liquor made from wheat sprouts, which is yellow and transparent, has a strong malt aroma, and has a soft, mellow and refreshing taste. Needless to say, this winemaking method was also taught by Liu Hou.

This is Liu Hou's occasional miss of the taste of beer, so he called Zuo Ci and told him the method of wheat malt brewing, and then Zuo Ci taught the method to the person in charge of brewing. These brewers explored and finally brewed wheat wine, which is very similar to the beer of later generations.

The taste of this wheat wine is very similar to beer, Liu Hou is very satisfied, he plans to ask Zhang Xingcai to make some carbon dioxide and add it to these wheat wines, it will be perfect.

Guo Youzhi and Zhang Zhongjing are both well-educated people, don't look at Zhang Zhongjing's usual study of medicine, in fact, his poetry is also very good. Facing the vast Dongting Lake, the two couldn't help but be full of poetry, chanted a few poems each, and after drinking a few wines, they were a little red and dizzy.

This glutinous rice wine has a sweet taste, it is very easy to eat, and you don't feel anything when you drink it, but in fact, it has a lot of stamina, and it will go up if you drink too much. After the two drank too much, they had to pull Liu Hou to let him compose poems, and said that they had heard that His Royal Highness the Prince's poetry was unparalleled for a long time, and they must have a good look at Yunyun today.

The truth is that the two of them have already written a few poems, and their minds are dizzy from drinking and drinking, and they can't write poems anymore, so they want to shift the blame to the prince.

Liu Hou really didn't know that he had a reputation for unparalleled poetry. In order to avoid excessive plagiarism of the poems of later generations and affect the performance of famous poets in later generations, he usually pays attention to it and rarely recites poems.

Today, I can't resist the two guys who are poor in donkey skills, and when I see the beautiful scenery, I feel something, and the depressed mood that has been suppressed for a long time is relaxed, and I take advantage of the wine, so I decided to do that plagiarism again.

After a moment's thought, he recited a poem that he thought was appropriate for the occasion:

The level of June Lake is too clear.

Steaming clouds and dreams, shaking Baling City.

If you want to help without a boat, you will be ashamed and sage.

Sitting and watching the anglers, there is nothing to envy the fish.

This poem comes from the Tang Dynasty poet Meng Haoran's "Wangdongting Lake Presents Zhang Chengxiang", in order to meet the situation, Liu Hou changed August to June, and Yueyang City to Baling City.

"Good, good!" Zhang Zhongjing applauded, "The atmosphere of this poem is a large-scale painting of the 800-mile Dongting like a splash of ink and landscape, fully expressing its vast environment and magnificent landscape. This poem will surely become a masterpiece of describing landscapes. ”

"Wonderful, wonderful, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really unparalleled in poetry, and the sentence 'Steaming clouds and dreams, shaking Baling City' is simply shocking." Guo Youzhi also clapped his hands and admired.

Hearing the praise of the two, Liu Houzheng was proud, and he couldn't help but hear Zhang Bao say: "The scenery is well written, but the last few sentences are not very auspicious." ”

Liu Hou's eyes were like electricity, and he glared at Zhang Bao, who knew that this Zhang Bao didn't know if he drank too much or was really a stunned character, he ignored Liu Hou's glare, and continued to say to himself:

"'If you want to help without a boat, you will be ashamed and holy.' This sentence is not appropriate, now that we are about to cross the river, you still say, 'If you want to help without a boat', isn't that not that uncomfortable for yourself? ”

Liu Houzheng was complacent about his plagiarized famous sentences, but he didn't expect that he didn't learn and didn't plagiarize for a while, and he was severely despised by Zhang Bao, a stunned person who didn't learn and didn't know how to do it.

"Hmph, do you know poetry?" Liu Hou glared at Zhang Bao fiercely again, this time Zhang Bao saw Liu Hou's eyes, made him angry, shrank his head, and didn't dare to speak anymore.

"Do you know how Liu Fu died?" Liu Hou continued.

"No, I don't know. Who is Liu Fu, I don't know him. "Zhang Bao is authentic.

"It was killed by Cao Cao." Liu Houdao.

"Cao, why did Cao Cao kill him?" Zhang Bao answered very consciously.

"Because he is like you with a lot of mouths, when Cao Cao was drinking and drinking and writing a poem, he said some unlucky words to sweep Cao Cao's interest."

"Ahh I, I didn't, I didn't spoil the fun. Zhang Bao said with a wide tongue.

"Oh? And such a thing? When Guo Youzhi heard Liu Hou say this, he was curious for a moment and couldn't help asking.

Because Liu Hou wanted to write poems, everyone stopped their own things and looked at Liu Hou, and now they heard Liu Hou and Zhang Bao talking nonsense, and they looked at the two of them quietly, waiting for the next step.

"Hmph, on the eve of the Chibi War, Cao Cao got the phoenix chick to offer a series of plans, thinking that he would break the Eastern Wu army, so Cao Cao Zhi was full of great feasts, during the banquet, he was in high spirits, and took advantage of the Xingheng lance to give a poem "Short Song Xing", there are clouds in the poem: 'The moon and stars are scarce, and the black magpie flies south; Three turns around the tree, no branches to follow. ’

This Liu Fu is like you just now, saying that these two sentences in his poem are very unlucky. As a result, Cao Cao was furious, blaming him for defeating his own poetry, and casually stabbed Liu Fu to death with the lance in his hand. ”

"Uh...... Adou, you don't want to stab me to death, do you? Zhang Bao asked weakly.

"What do you say......" Liu Houdao.

“……”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, is this really the case? Why haven't I heard of Liu Fuqi? I have heard of Cao Cao's "Short Song Xing", this poem expresses Cao Cao's thirst for talent and ambition to unify the world, and it is indeed a rare good poem. ”

"This, Liu Fu, this kind of little person, it's normal that you haven't heard of it, Cao Cao is brutal, it's not strange to do such a thing." When Liu Hou heard Guo Youzhi say this, he couldn't help sweating on his forehead, and thought:

"Could it be that this matter is made up by Lao Luo? Fainted to death, this Lao Luo is really a big fool, comparable to the YY Internet writers of later generations, why did he make up so many plots? Isn't this a bad brother? ”

Thinking of this section, Liu Hou decided to change the topic, so he patted Zhang Bao's shoulder hard, patted him grinning, and said: "Hmph, if I were Cao Cao, you would be dead, fortunately you met me such a holy brother, be moved, cheer." ”

"Uh...... Vomit? Zhang Bao was shocked and made a gesture of wanting to vomit.

"Hehe, General Zhang Xiao, the prince is joking with you." Guo Youzhi was really diverted and no longer bothered about Cao Cao.

"However, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is also right, you should go through your brain when you speak and do things in the future, and think twice before acting, so as not to get into trouble." Guo Youzhi continued to teach Zhang Bao a lesson, like a teacher who was kind and persuasive.

"Yes, thank you Mr. Guo for the point." Zhang Bao was not really stupid, and hurriedly thanked Guo Youzhi.

"Oh, everybody, come and see, there's a guy there's pregnant." Everyone was talking about Zhang Bao, and suddenly they heard the rough voice of the vulture bone, or such an unbelievable thing, everyone was startled by him.
