Chapter 206: Entertainment and Jiangnan Scenery
And the entertainment in the officialdom is originally a matter of giving face to each other, if you don't think in your heart that it is saving money for others, people may not be happy in their hearts.
Zhu Song had no choice but to smile and say, "In this case, then I will work with you." ”
In fact, it stands to reason that Zhu Song's identity, especially when he is still in charge of the Jinyi Guard, the officials should be too late to hide, but who made the new dynasty stand now, this King Han is a henchman under King Yan, and he is a brother, and the relationship with King Han is good, and he can also help with a few words of good words in the court, right? At the very least, the new emperor has come up, so don't replace us old officials.
Many of these officials are anxious to show their loyalty to Yongle, but because there is no way, these feudal officials, the officials of the three divisions finally looked forward to such a way, how could they say that they would let go?
As for this salt tax, officials at all levels must have taken everything they should have taken, and whether they want to spit it out or not depends on the specific attitude of King Han.
And then this banquet can be used to take a look at the attitude of His Royal Highness King Han.
Zhou Tong, the political envoy, happily asked someone to get on the boat, and sent people to Xingyuan to send His Royal Highness's clothes first, and he and the local gentry and celebrities accompanied His Royal Highness King Han to the Drunken Immortal Tower.
If you want to talk about what is pomp, now this is pomp, there are dozens of official sedan chairs on the whole avenue, and the sedan chair of His Royal Highness King Han is naturally in the front, and the gong is sounding in front of the road, and it is going towards the drunken immortal building.
Drunken Immortal Building stands at the foot of the lonely mountain, is the most famous and high-end restaurant in Hangzhou, although Yingtian's restaurant can also be said to be magnificent, carved beams and painted buildings, but when it comes to artistic conception, it can not be compared with Drunken Immortal Building.
At the feet of the Son of Heaven in Beijing, there are many dignitaries and dignitaries, probably in order to highlight the wealth and luxury, this strength is a little too fierce, this drunken immortal building is not the case at all, Zhu Song stepped into this drunken immortal building when he stepped into it, at first he thought he had entered a garden.
In the garden, the corridor is nine songs, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, and you can see all kinds of flowers, as well as hanging branches and bird cages on wooden shelves.
There are also several small buildings in the courtyard, the shape is chic and light, and the elegant sound of the piano is heard from time to time throughout the garden.
The group walked towards the depths of the garden, passed the triple courtyard, walked along the delicately shaped stone path to the depths, turned a small bridge and flowed, and finally saw a small building in a bamboo forest.
The small building stands in the slender and tall bamboo forest, the bamboo forest is quiet and claustrophobic, and the red small building is set off like a paradise in the swaying green bamboo, even if Zhu Song is tired, he can't help but feel refreshed when he sees such a scene.
On the way to come just now, Zhu Song only cared about closing his eyes and recuperating and did not open the curtain to take a good look at the scenery of the south of the Yangtze River, and now he has arrived at this drunken fairy building is really a fairyland in the world.
You must know that the palace is a smaller palace, especially the palace of the vassal king is not in Beijing, which covers a larger area and is naturally more luxurious.
Of course, the palace in Beijing is much stronger than the average wealthy family, but his palace in Beijing can't even compare to the palace in Kaiyuan, let alone this drunken immortal building.
Everyone entered this small building, sat down according to the guest and host, and before they could say a few words of greeting, they saw a line of maids with fluttering clothes and white clothes and green bottoms, carrying melons, fruits, and tea.
Zhu Song couldn't help but take a few more looks, not that these women are very good-looking, they are naturally incomparable to their two concubines, but this Jiangnan woman's eyes are like water, and her eyebrows are like distant mountains.
Although the posture is by no means superior, it is rare that every facial feature is so exquisite, with a smile and a smile, and every movement and stillness are full of the unique gentleness and touching of the women of the Jiangnan water town.
Zhou Tong looked at Zhu Song, a hint of appreciation flashed in his eyes, and he smiled at Wu Qian on the side, and the two seemed to have made up their minds and then toasted together.
"Your Highness has been in the land of Liaodong for several years before, presumably this amount of wine has been practiced, Your Highness is used to drinking northern spirits, you can also taste my Jiangnan water wine, light and mellow, and please Your Highness drink three glasses, today I will not get drunk and return!"
Zhu Song pretended to wave his hand and said a few words of nonsense that I drink in general, and then drank three glasses of wine in a row without making a sound, and the officials present were also stunned, and then the officials took turns to go into battle, and they were bound to accompany His Royal Highness King Han with the joy of accompanying him, but he never expected that His Royal Highness King Han could drink so much.
Speaking of Zhu Song, this is like an adult bullying a child, in Liaodong and other bitter cold places, the weather is cold, the common people are fine in spring and summer, in autumn and winter, this goes out to collect firewood, into the mountains to hunt that need to drink a sip of wine, warm up.
When Zhu Song first arrived in Liaodong, it was also cold, but later Lao Cao got a bag of wine for Zhu Song, Zhu Song took a sip from time to time, and took a sip from time to time, feeling that the spirit of wine was like a line of fire all the way from his mouth to his stomach, and he felt that the whole person was warm and scorching all of a sudden, and naturally he was not afraid of the cold and cold.
Zhu Song has been drinking wine as water for a long time, so when it comes to the amount of alcohol, how can the adults here who are used to drinking Jiangnan water wine be Zhu Song's opponent.
It's really not drunk and doesn't go home, half of the adults present have fallen, Zhu Song got into the strength of the wine, and began to persuade others to drink, and several adults in Zhejiang were stunned for a while, thinking in their hearts, hey? No, shouldn't I wait for His Royal Highness King Han to persuade him to drink? How is this the other way around?
Zhu Song also has a thought, this officialdom entertainment, if I don't show some demeanor today to let these officials know that in terms of the amount of alcohol, seven or eight of you are tied together, and I am not one of my opponents, otherwise this next thing will be done, and you will entertain at every turn, what will you do if you pour more people into this matter?
This Hangzhou Jiangnan Water Town is a paradise on earth, this wine is also fragrant, the tea is fragrant, the melon is also good, and the fruit is also good, but there is one thing that is not good, that is, this dish is not as rich and delicious as Yingtian.
Especially the vinegar fish in the West Lake, this bite of vinegar fish went down and froze Zhu Song on the spot.
……
The Qincha Xingyuan is located in a manor, which is the mansion of the local gentry and celebrities in Hangzhou, Jia Yuanwai, and is divided into east and west courtyards.
This East Cross Courtyard is naturally Jia Yuanwai's home, and the West Cross Courtyard has all been picked up and temporarily used as a messenger.
Prince Zhu Song's identity can live in the palace, but the Hangzhou palace is far away, and Zhu Song doesn't like to go.
It is not easy for this Ming Dynasty businessman to make money, and the court does not collect heavy taxes, but there is one thing, you can't show your wealth.
