Time is like flowing water, and a few days have passed in the blink of an eye. Wu Yong did not slack off because Luoyang was famous, and he was as low-key as ever every day, except for accompanying Liu Hong, the son of heaven, to study, he rarely went out of the Houfu Courtyard.

Today is another day of rest, Wu Yong planned to continue studying, but he didn't expect Zhu Yuan to come to the door and pull him to Anguo Pavilion Hou Mansion as a guest.

Yuan Feng inherited the title of Marquis of Anguoting from his father Yuan Tang, so the Marquis of Anguoting not only lived in the Marquis of Anguoting, but also Yuan Feng and Yuan Kui, as well as some other clansmen of the Yuan clan in Runan.

Today, Yuan Shu banquet guests also attached great importance to Wu Yong, and he personally went to the door to welcome the two of them in. The three of them came to Yuan Shu's courtyard together, only to find that there were still four young men waiting, and Yuan Shu hurriedly introduced Wu Yong: "This is Zhang Xun, the second son of Weiwei Zhang Hao. ”

"This is Chen Lan, the third son of Shaofu Chen Tan."

"This is Yang Hong of the Hongnong Yang Clan."

"This is Qiao Rui, a relative of Tingwei Qiaoxuan." Then he introduced Wu Yong to several people,

"This is the new Son of Heaven serving Wu Yong, his deeds, you should all know it, I guess I don't need to introduce it!"

"Wu Yong has seen several brothers."

"Haha, the name of Wu Shiyu has been thunderous recently!" Several people saluted each other, and then came to the hall to sit down as the guest of honor, and the topic began to revolve around Wu Yong, which made Wu Yong a little restless, and did not understand the purpose of Yuan Shu's banquet today.

While talking and laughing, the time soon reached noon, and at this time, a manservant from the Yuan Mansion suddenly walked into the house, came to Yuan Shu's side, and whispered to him: "Young master, the kitchen has reported that the meal has been prepared!" I would like to ask the host, when is the feast? Yuan Shu waved his hand to let him go down to prepare, and then said to everyone with a smile: "You have a good day today, my father's subordinates have just brought a batch of cattle and sheep from the frontier, all of which are carefully selected fat livestock. ”

"Then we are stained with Wu Shi's reading today."

"Bell~" As he spoke, the bell rang outside. Then, one by one, the servants with delicacies in their hands rushed in, and arranged the meals neatly on the long table, and in a short time the whole case was full.

There are five small tripods in front of the case, and the tripods are horses, cows, sheep, chickens, and dogs, which are stewed meat soup for the ingredients.

In front of Wu Yong and Yang Hong, there are only two or three small tripods, which contain three kinds of meat soups: cow, sheep and chicken.

In addition, there are many other types of delicacies on the table, such as stewed turtle soup, carp, fried fish in soy sauce, roasted venison, donkey meat in sauce, stewed goose meat, steamed bear's paw, etc., a total of nine dishes, which are served in different utensils such as gold, silver and bronze according to the type of food.

When the meal was ready, the servants bowed to the guests of honor in the house, lined up, and retreated from the hall in a neat manner.

Then a group of musicians and maiko carrying chimes and holding various musical instruments came from outside the door.

"Play music, dance!" When the musicians heard the news, they rang the chimes, played the sheng and drums, and the melodious sound of silk and bamboo rang out, and the dancers stepped on broken steps to the center of the hall, and danced in the music.

Looking at this group of beautiful and graceful girls dancing lightly in their skirts, Wu Yong's eyes were straight, and he stood on the spot for a while.

"Good guy~, this pomp, this formation, is this the daily life of the top elites? Have a meal accompanied by singing, dancing, and music? It's really luxurious, and this time it's an eye-opener! Before the crossing, Wu Yong had seen many people analyze that the ancient productive forces were backward, and the life of the emperor or the magnates may not be as good as that of modern ordinary people, and he also put forward various arguments for detailed analysis.

Therefore, Wu Yong once thought so. After all, compared with modern society, the productivity of ancient society is too backward, but logistics and transportation are very different.

But after seeing this grand pomp and circumstance here in Yuan Shu today, Wu Yong immediately held a skeptical attitude towards his previous views.

This case of delicacies, in addition to a little monotony in taste, is really a five-star hotel in the future!

"Husband, be a five-tripod food in life, and cook in five tripods when you die!" Wu Yong finally understood why the ancients always said such things!

"Who doesn't want such an unpretentious and boring life!" Thinking of this, Wu Yong couldn't help but walk past the dancers on the dance floor and set his eyes on the few people opposite.

Yuan Shu, who was sitting on the main seat, saw Wu Yong's view, nodded to him with a smile, and then slowly picked up the wine jue, raised his glass and said: "Gentlemen, the meal is here, the song and dance begins, the feast should be opened, and drink this cup full, and share it with me!" When everyone in the hall heard this, they got up one after another, picked up the wine, and greeted Yuan Shu: "Thank you Yuan Shaojun!" ”

"The wine, meat and delicacies are ready, you can taste them at will, you don't have to be restrained!" Yuan Shu laughed and said.

"Yui!" Everyone nodded in unison, then picked up the knives and chopsticks prepared on the desk and began to prepare to enjoy the food.

Wu Yong looked at the table full of delicacies, and his appetite was also great, first he scooped up a piece of beef, tasted it carefully for a while, except for cooking it softly, there was no other taste, and then he scooped up some other meat, and the taste was the same.

In fact, real meat, if you don't eat much, you will feel greasy, for Wu Yong, who is used to frying, frying, and roasting in later generations, he really can't eat a few pieces of boiled meat, so he quickly stopped his chopsticks and concentrated on enjoying the song and dance.

Yuan Shu on the main seat had been paying attention to Wu Yong, and after seeing him eat a few pieces of meat, he stopped, and his handsome face couldn't help but have a trace of doubt, and then he raised his hand and motioned for the musician and the maiko to stop, and asked Wu Yong with some curiosity: "Wu Shiyu, why don't you eat?" But the feast is not to your liking? The eyes of everyone in the hall were focused on Wu Yong, which made a trace of embarrassment flash on his face, and he quickly shook his head and denied it: "It's not that it's unappetizing, but the kid was born poor since he was a child, and when he grew up, it was the first time to participate in such a grand banquet, and he had seen so many delicacies, so he should continue to taste it, you don't have to care about the kid, just enjoy it." When Yuan Shu heard this, he chuckled, and then waved his hand to signal the musicians and maiko to continue playing music and dancing.

With this lesson, Wu Yong moved his chopsticks for a while, and kept pretending to eat, but in fact, the meat in front of him didn't move much, but he drank a lot of turbid wine.

At this time, the liquor was basically not distilled and filtered, and was taken out directly in the wine-making container, and when drinking, there was a filter in the middle of the wine to filter the impurities in the wine.

During the feast, Wu Yong also interacted with several other people, raising a glass and drinking wine from time to time. Between the staggered and staggered, a glass of wine went down to his stomach, making him unconsciously a little drunk.

But despite this, everyone still didn't let him go, especially Yuan Shu, who was the main family, persuaded Wu Yong to drink many times during the banquet, and when the song and dance were suspended, he enthusiastically pulled Wu Yong to play the game of throwing pots.

The so-called pitching pot originated from the archery ceremony in the Spring and Autumn Period. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, one of the etiquettes of the princes when they entertained guests was to invite them to shoot arrows.

At that time, it was considered a shame for an adult man not to be able to shoot an arrow, and the host asked the guest to shoot an arrow, and the guest could not refuse.

Later, however, some guests did not know how to shoot arrows, so some people invented and used arrows to throw wine jugs instead.

Over time, pot throwing replaced archery as a game at feasts. When the pot throwing ceremony is held, the guests and the host take turns to throw the arrows into the pot, each person has four arrows, the one who wins the most wins, and the loser drinks as a punishment.

After the Han Dynasty, the pitching pot was prevalent among the scholar class, and every time there was a feast and drink, there must be

"Song of Solomon pitcher

The show is fun. Pitching pots, Wu Yong can't, but he practices archery every day! The eyesight is not comparable to that of the church. Therefore, after a competition, Wu Yong almost hit every game! According to the rules of pot throwing, the losing side of the competition will be punished, either for punishment for drinking, or for endowment, and in the process of Wu Yong's competition with everyone, almost every game is won, which makes others quite depressed. Wu Yong saw that it was not possible to go on like this, so in the next game with Yuan Shu, it was estimated that he would not be able to throw accurately, and he would lose the game of throwing pots. Winning this game, Yuan Shu was in a good mood, and couldn't help laughing: "I heard that Wu Shi can become a poem in five steps, why don't you compose a poem today?" ”

"Poetry..."Listening to Yuan Shu's words, the corners of Wu Yong's mouth couldn't help but have a wry smile, this time it is estimated that he will have to be cheeky again

"Copying the public". Anyway, I've copied so much, and I don't care about this one. However, the poetry should pay attention to the artistic conception of the occasion, and it cannot be copied casually, and at this time it was the Han Dynasty, the popular five-character poem, which made Wu Yong think for a while, and I don't know how many brain cells died, before he stood up slowly, came to the center of the hall, and pretended to chant: Today's banquet is good, and it is difficult to show joy.

The kite is exciting, and the new sound is wonderful. Lingde sings high words, knows the music and listens to its truth. Together, the meaning is not declared.

Life is sent for a lifetime, and it is like a storm. Why don't you take a high step and take Lujin first? Doing nothing to keep the poor and cheap, and working hard for a long time.

This poem is one of the "Nineteen Ancient Poems", and the writer's feelings about drinking and listening to songs are very suitable for today's Yuan Shu banquet scene, especially this poem is very graceful and far-reaching, philosophical, involving a series of life problems, social issues, and thought-provoking.

After Yuan Shu and the others heard this, they all looked at Wu Yong, who was already drunk, and they were so impressed that he could make such a poem at a young age.

Several of them are prodigal children who don't pay much attention to the family, and it's okay to fight cocks and lackeys on weekdays, but if they are allowed to compose poems like Wu Yong, it is more uncomfortable than killing them.

Therefore, they admired and envied Wu Yong's poetic talent, and they didn't compare with Wu Yong at the moment, and began to toast Wu Yong one after another.

In this way, Wu Yong, who was already a little drunk, was even more drunk and hazy, almost to the point where it was difficult to control himself.

Soon after, Wu Yong was completely drunk! Seeing this, Zhu Yuan wanted to take Wu Yong away, but was stopped by Yuan Shu and said: "You drink first, I will arrange for someone to help Wu Yong to rest in the backyard, anyway, I don't have any family in this courtyard, so let him live with me today, so he can save tossing back and forth." Zhu Yuan didn't dare to argue with Yuan Shu, not to mention that he couldn't wait to be friends with Yuan Shu.

In this way, Yuan Shu asked the two male servants to carry Wu Yong to the backyard, and as soon as he opened the door, a young girl complained: "How can my brother let him drink so much wine, look at how drunk he is!" Yuan Shu smiled bitterly: "Good sister, you have wronged me, but I didn't let him drink it, it was he who rushed to drink it." In order to complete the task assigned by my uncle, I have spent all the expenses for the next two months this time, and I want them to drink less and save some expenses. The woman standing beside the girl glared at him angrily and said, "Don't talk nonsense, how is what I arranged for you to do?" If you do a good job, I will reimburse you for the expenses of this banquet. ”

"What my uncle explained, how dare my nephew not care. Isn't it just a test of Wu Yong's talent, a trivial matter. As he spoke, Yuan Shu hurriedly took out a piece of paper from his arms, handed it to the woman, and then smiled at the girl: "Ah Mei is really a good eye, this Wu Yong has such a talent at a young age, and his future achievements will definitely be extraordinary." The girl blushed and moved to the woman's side, and looked at the writing on the paper in her hand.

This mother and daughter are Yuan Kui's wife Ma Lun and daughter Yuan Mei. Maren looked at her daughter's footsteps, and felt funny and angry, so she handed the paper to her and sighed deliberately: "My daughter is older, but I can't keep it!" You can keep the poems of your little lover. Yuan Mei was ashamed, took the paper, turned around and ran away, and while running, he didn't forget to quibble: "I just treat him as a younger brother like Manlai." ”
