Volume 2 Xu Lang is actually the king of the Xu family Chapter 96 Feng's Mansion Night Banquet
The official who guarded Yizhou for the Northern Zhou Tianzi, named Feng Jingsheng, although he was a civil official, he had a general's belly, which was quite a middle-aged fortune.
Xu is used to being pampered on weekdays, and when he is active, Feng Zhoumu is sweating profusely.
In the kitchen of the State Pastor's Mansion, the cooks who had already fallen asleep were all awakened by Feng Zhoumu and ordered him to perform all his best skills.
After a while, the pungent aroma filled the entire mansion.
In the largest rooms in the house, the maids and ladies are busy, although there is never a shortage of people to clean on weekdays, but Lord Feng has a life, and he must be spotless! Everything must be the best!
Therefore, the brand-new brocade quilt that no one has ever used has been replaced, and the table and chair ornaments that are already the best have all been removed, and replaced with the best yellow pear of wood that is unique to Dongsheng and difficult to find in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and the blue and white porcelain with the most elegant pattern.
In the largest room, several servants of five big and three thick servants carried in a huge purple gold plate dragon incense burner, and the ambergris incense that Feng Zhoumu was usually reluctant to use, put it in it as if he didn't want money.
When the little green smoke rose, the servants who had been stained with someone's light were all refreshed, and their sleepiness suddenly dissipated a lot, and their sleepy eyes, which were originally squinted, were also a little wider.
If this purple gold pan dragon incense burner is not small, as the state pastor of Lord Feng, he is not qualified to use this kind of royal utensils with the shape of a dragon, just because a few years ago, His Royal Highness King Yong came to Yizhou, and after serving in the state pastor for a few days, when he left, he rewarded him with such an object, which was regarded as a treasure by Lord Feng, and he was eager to put it in the ancestral shrine.
The whole house was busy, and the servants everywhere were full of objects in their hands, and they seemed orderly in the hurry.
Although he was a little dazed by the sudden order, the servants in the palace didn't even dare to complain in their hearts.
The state pastor's mansion is a big man!
The servants didn't know how big this big man was, but judging from the enthusiastic appearance of Feng Zhoumu, who was extremely deep in the city and never overlooked his joy and anger in the past, and this was a more nuanced scene than a few years ago, when His Royal Highness King Yong was driving, it was not difficult to notice.
The young man who was invited into the mansion by everyone is not trivial.
Those who can do things in the state pastor's mansion are all people who have work in their eyes and know in their hearts, and when they saw that Lord Feng had gone out of the city to greet them in person, they naturally accompanied them carefully, for fear of offending this group of people, losing their jobs is a small matter, and losing their lives is a big matter.
To say that this Feng Zhou Mu, as a second-class member and a real feudal official, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a prince, but he is a master who can speak in front of the emperor!
In the Northern Zhou Dynasty, there are not many people who can treat him like this, at least, Xu Zhaonan, who has not yet been crowned king, should not be among them.
But Feng Jingsheng himself, in the early years, was still in the study of His Royal Highness King Yong to read, the two have a deep relationship, after King Yong was crowned king, read his childhood friendship, and appreciate his talent, he was elected to be the head of a city, the so-called court has someone good to be an official, decades of time, Lord Feng's official career has been on the rise, and today, finally achieved today's official to a state shepherd.
Feng Jingsheng has always been grateful for King Yong's kindness, and in a slightly over-the-top sentence, Lord Feng treats this little prince as a nephew!
Moreover, a few days ago, the matter of breaking the border could not be concealed from Lord Feng, who was the governor of a state, and the bright-eyed Feng Zhoumu inquired a little, and he understood the ins and outs of the future.
Lord Feng, who is already a veteran of the Second Dynasty, understands that if the First Army of the Northern Zhou Dynasty can be so prosperous, this future little prince will not necessarily stop at the position of the prince!
Lord Feng is already a very popular minister, and the next step is to enter the cabinet, although he is not greedy for promotion and wealth, and there is only a daughter under his knees who does not know which kid will be cheaper, but the Feng family, with a large population, has to rely on the royal food to eat.
Now, naturally, I am doing my best, for fear of poor hospitality.
The state pastoral mansion under the moonlight is brightly lit and lively.
Previously, Xu Zhaonan was revealed by Yu Jiangang's identity, and there was no need to hide it anymore, so Chu Jiexing simply held the Prison Heaven Token and flew into the city.
When Xu Zhaonan said goodbye to the trembling Jiang Kui and others outside the city gate, in the noise, Feng Zhoumu, who was sweating profusely, led a large group of city guards out of the city to greet him.
Jiang Kui, who has been eating in Yizhou City all the year round, naturally knows this Lord Feng, who is in charge of life and death in Yizhou, and when he saw that he came to greet him in person, he immediately dispelled the last trace of doubt in his heart, and politely declined Xu Zhaonan's invitation to go with him.
At this time, Jiang Kui couldn't wait to put on his wings, and immediately flew back to the gang, telling his grandfather and the gang leader that the Five Poisons Gang, which had been working against them, was over! Lord Wang, who was bent on dominating the Yaoyang Gang, was over!
The Shining Sun Gang, it's saved!
Xu Zhaonan waved goodbye to the crazy Jiang Da Dart Master in front of the city gate, followed Master Feng, and went all the way back to the State Pastoral Mansion.
Under the respectful gaze of countless people, the group entered the main hall.
A huge agarwood round table with eight meats, eight vegetables and eight cold dishes on it, and two delicate carved copper stoves are steaming.
There are six delicate and beautiful women standing at the table, holding a blue and white porcelain pot, although the lid of the pot has not been opened, but judging from the smell of wine wafting all over the house, it must be old wine.
Xu Zhaonan was a little flattered when he saw such a battle, looked at Feng Jingsheng, who was cautious beside him, and said with a wry smile: "Lord Feng, this is a bit ...... It's so grand...... We've had dinner too. ”
"Hey!"
Feng Jingsheng shook his head again and again, shook his fat head and big ears, and said with a smile: "It's not grand, it's not grand, I'm afraid that the little prince has suffered a lot along the way, and when he arrives at Lao Chen, he has to entertain him wholeheartedly...... Every time His Royal Highness King Yong comes to Lao Chen, he has to drink two sips as soon as possible. ”
After that, he held Xu Zhaonan's arm and helped him to the first seat.
Xu Zhaonan originally refused, but in the end, Yu Jiangang laughed and helped persuade him, "Lord Feng is kind, the little prince still has to resign", and then pressed him to the seat together with Feng Jingsheng.
Feng Jingsheng smiled at Yu Jiangang, and invited him to sit next to Xu Zhaonan, and after he sat on the other side, he waved his hand and motioned for everyone to take their seats in turn.
During the banquet, Feng Jingsheng happily used the pair of silver chopsticks carved with cloud patterns to add food to Xu Zhaonan's bowl, until the middle of his bowl had risen high, and looking at the helpless smile on his face, he smiled embarrassedly: "Hahaha...... The old minister was presumptuous, and the little prince ate first......"
After that, he stretched out his hand to summon the beautiful maid standing behind him, took the porcelain pot in his hand, and personally filled the wine glass in front of Xu Zhaonan, and introduced: "This wine is called Xia Yulu, which is a unique wine in our Yizhou, it is intoxicating to smell, intoxicating to taste, and even more intoxicating, and it is wonderful!"
When Xu Zhaonan heard this, he couldn't help but show fascination, he was also half of the wine country, and the name of Xia Yulu was naturally heard.
This wine is divided into upper, middle and lower, three grades, the highest grade, a pot of wine is more expensive than a thousand gold, ordinary people, but even the lowest grade of a gold for a pound of wine, have never had the pleasure of smelling.
Just because the output of Xia Yulu is very small, ordinary winemaking is mostly made from grains such as sorghum and glutinous rice, but this wine is different.
This wine is made of a kind of grain unique to Yizhou, called jade crystal spike, planted at the turn of morning and dusk in spring, taken when the sun sets in autumn, placed in the jade jar, fermented for years, in order to make less than the original solution.
Its liquid, the color is like jade, crystal clear, just a drop in, can make ordinary spirits, mellow to a higher level, can be said to be every drop is precious.
Perhaps it is the relationship between the baptism of war for a long time, Yizhou, which has a large land and abundant resources, has very fertile soil, and the yield of any crop planted at will is much higher than that of other states, but this jade crystal spike is extremely delicate, no matter where it is planted, the annual output is very small, let alone the Xia Yulu brewed with it.
Planted in the morning glow, picked in the dusk, precious as jade.
This is where the name of Xia Yulu comes from.
This wine, in addition to Yizhou, that is, every year to supply the capital a little, the Northern Zhou Dynasty in the territory of the dignitaries and nobles are fortunate to get a pot, all of them are regarded as treasures, if the people of Dongsheng want to taste a bite, it can be said that it is difficult to find, so, although Xu Zhaonan has heard of it, but has not been able to taste.
Hearing Feng Jingsheng say this at this moment, Xu Zhaonan's stomach suddenly stirred, put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand, picked up the blue and white porcelain cup, first put it under his nose and smelled it, its taste was really mellow and fragrant, after drinking it all, it was different from the spicy of ordinary spirits, but a little sweetness was left between his lips and teeth.
"It's really good wine!"
Xu Zhaonan closed his eyes and savored for a long time, before he suddenly opened his eyes and smiled at Feng Jingsheng: "This wine is only because it is in the sky, it is rare to taste it a few times in the world!"
"Hahaha! The little prince likes to drink!"
Feng Jingsheng laughed, picked up the wine jug, and helped him fill the wine glass, and said with a bold smile: "If you are not afraid of the little prince's jokes, the old minister is a Yizhou pastor, and there is still a little bit of this Yizhou specialty in the cellar." The little prince is here for a few more days, and he can taste this wine every day, and if there is any leftover when he leaves, he will take it all away!"
Xu Zhaonan shook his head and joked: "That's not possible, such a beautiful wine, it must be loved and treasured by Lord Feng, how can I drink it all in a row! Besides, I am used to drinking this wine, and I have cultivated my appetite, and I can't drink it again in the future, but what should I do!"
"Hahaha!"
Feng Jingsheng let out his signature laugh again, patted his chest, trembled all over his body, and said with a smile: "Little prince, don't worry too much, in the future, as long as the annual output comes out, the old minister will send your share to the capital!"
Xu Zhaonan politely declined in a joking way, but when he thought that this Lord Feng was serious, and was about to excuse himself, Yu Jiangang on the other side spoke in time and said, "Little Prince, Lord Feng has this intention, you can accept it with peace of mind." ”
As he spoke, he picked up the wine glass in front of him, like a cow chewing a peony, drank the Xia Yulu, squinted for a moment, his face was full of intoxication, and then, smashing his mouth, he waved at the maid behind him, signaling her to quickly fill the cup.
Feng Jingsheng was happy when he saw this, and nodded again and again: "It's extreme, it's extreme, the national teacher has said so, the old minister's heart, the little prince doesn't have to shirk anymore." ”
Xu Zhaonan heard that both of them said this, so he had to pick up his wine glass and thank Feng Jingsheng, which was regarded as receiving this kindness.
A meal can be described as a joy for both guests and hosts.
There was an interesting incident during the banquet, but it is worth mentioning.
Behind Xu Zhaonan, there was originally a beautiful maid who was standing in the best posture, waiting for her to eat, Kong Fan'er, who was sitting on the side, saw it, somehow, she didn't eat anymore, Huo Ran got up, took the wine jug in the hand of the maid, and replaced her place with a smile.
Seeing this, Xu Zhaonan was flattered and persuaded a few words, but Kong Fan'er insisted on refusing, and in the end, she had to go.
