106 Banquet matters (II)
Hearing Tie Youxia's explanation, a cold light flashed in Zhu Zixu's eyes, and his face instantly became gloomy. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The tiger put on sheep's clothing, and he really treated me as a sheep. It's just a master, dare not take the master in my eyes! If you put it in the first place, it will be okay. Now, huh!
Seeing that Zhu Zixu's mood was a little wrong, Tie Youxia hurriedly added, "Zixu, don't be impulsive. It's just a master, the phoenix doesn't talk to ordinary birds, what do you care about him? With Zheng Wei here, he will get things done. ”
Hearing this, Zhu Zixu calmed down. Thinking about it secretly, a cold sweat broke out on his back. Alas, the ego is inflated. Why do you want to destroy people with your own hands because of a trivial matter? How can I do this kind of thing that a good catcher like me can do? Just watch others do it! I might as well be a "good catcher" quietly!
Lou Zhixian on the side was a little anxious, what was going on with this Zhang Lu? Last night was fine, how could he be like this today? Could it be that Brother Zhang Nian didn't say hello in advance? No, no! I wrote it clearly and clearly with him in my letter!
Thinking of this, he glanced at Zhang Lu with puzzled eyes.
Zhang Lu also felt strange. Why did the atmosphere become like this? Could it be that he did something wrong? Isn't this Zhu Zixu just a nine-rank headcatcher? It's right to do this by himself!
Now let's take a look at the whole thing.
Three days ago, when Lou Zhixian learned about Zhu Zixu's treat, he felt that this was an opportunity. wrote a letter to the prefect of Hengyang and invited him to participate.
First, it is to contact the relationship between the two, and the two are Jinshi in the same year, and secondly, they also want to sell him a favor, after all, there are not many opportunities to get in touch with Wang Gongzi's brother. Of course, for the sake of secrecy, Zhu Zixu's identity is unknown.
After Zhang Zhiran received the letter, he also wanted to meet and chat with Lou Zhixian, reminisce about the old days, and cheer for his family. But recently, there was a big case in Hengyang Mansion, and I couldn't get out of the way for a while, so I sent my henchman Zhang Lu here. As for what to explain, he himself is not very clear, so he has no way to explain.
After Zhang Lu came here, he chatted with Lou Zhixian for a few words and explained the reason.
Lou Zhixian couldn't help but be a little disappointed when he saw that it was not Zhang Zhiran, and he chatted with Zhang Lu with a few words, and then arranged for him to rest. As for Zhu Zixu's identity, he didn't mention it.
This is the banquet scene.
After a while, Zheng and Lu came.
Seeing the two, Zhang Lu didn't mention how tired she was. Zhang Lu is good at everything, but there are two shortcomings. One is to look down on the factory guard, and the other is to always like to ponder. However, I still wondered in my heart, they shouldn't have come to this level of banquet! But when they saw that Tie Youxia had arrived, they found a reason.
But then he couldn't understand it again. After Tie Youxia came, these people didn't even sit down, and they had to wait for everyone to come before they sat down. Even if the banquet host invites it several times, it is the same.
In fact, Zheng Wei really didn't dare to sit at that time. Although he has the highest status of all people, he is a domestic slave of the royal family. The master didn't come, he didn't dare to sit; Lu Yu looked at Zheng Wei and didn't sit, he didn't dare to sit; the two five-rank didn't sit, and Lou Zhixian naturally didn't sit either; Tie Youxia didn't care, everyone didn't sit, so I didn't sit either. After all, he has the best relationship with Zhu Zixu.
pondered about this matter, and it wasn't until Zhu Zixu called him that he came back to his senses. That's how the previous scene happened.
At this time, Dong Xiangyu, who was looking at this side from afar, saw that she hadn't sat down here, and she was a little anxious, so she was ready to serve the food. The main table does not sit down, let others eat however they want. Hurry up and let Bai Yutang inform you.
Bai Yutang walked over with a plate of cold dishes. When passing by Zhu Zixu's side, he stabbed him, "Zixu, it's time to let the guest sit down!" After speaking, he put down the cold dishes and left in a hurry.
Zhu Zixu was reminded, and hurriedly beckoned, "Sit down! Everyone sit!"
Seeing that everyone was looking at him in unison, Zhu Zixu understood what was going on, so he sat down in the closest position to him, that is, the last seat, "I'm the youngest, then I'll sit here!"
Everyone looked at each other for a while, and was a little puzzled by Zhu Zixu's actions.
Although he was puzzled, Zheng Wei's reaction was very fast. I saw that he quickly grabbed the seat on Zhu Zixu's right hand, and said with a smile, "Slave, I'm not very old, so I'm sitting here." ”
Seeing this, Tie Youxia smiled and said, "Then I'll sit here." He actually sat in the seat on Zhu Zixu's left.
Then the remaining three sat down one by one.
Now the seats at the table make it seem reasonable to outsiders. The main seat is the prefect's special envoy Zhang Shiye; the first on the left is the county commander Lou Zhixian; the right seat is Lu Yu, the special envoy of Jinyiwei; the second on the left is Zheng Wei, the special envoy of Dongchang; the second on the right is the county's big head-catcher Tieguan; and the last seat is the county's head-catcher Zhu Zixu.
Interestingly, it makes sense to look at it the other way around. The main seat is the little prince Zhu Zixu; the first on the left is Tie Youxia, a master of the six doors; the first on the right is Zheng Wei, the five-grade eunuch of Dongchang; the second on the left is Lu Yu, a thousand households of Jinyi Wei; the second on the right is the county commander Lou Zhixian; and the last seat is Master Zhang.
No matter what others think of it, Zhang Lu, who is familiar with the rules of officialdom, can see that he is in a cold sweat, restless, and his face is extremely bad.
Zhu Zixu glanced at it, and felt bored in his heart. The thought of planning to trouble him also faded.
Dong Xiangyu saw that Zhu Zixu was already seated on the side, so he began to let people serve food.
When the food was served, Zhu Zixu looked around boredly and made a surprising discovery. There are all round tables in this courtyard! When I look at the table I am sitting on, it is also a round table! Damn, when did the Ming Dynasty also have round tables? Didn't you say that it only existed after the Qing Dynasty?
Gonggong Zheng next to him had something on his mind. has always intended to be close to Zhu Zixu, and he has always paid attention to Zhu Zixu's every move.
At this time, seeing him staring at the table and thinking that he was interested in this table, Zheng Wei asked with a smile, "Zhu Zhutou, is he interested in this round table?"
Zhu Zixu nodded, "I've usually only seen a square table, and this round table is rare." ”
This is not a lie. The flowing water mats outside the courtyard are all square tables, and there are no round tables.
"Hehe! Now this round table is also not very popular, and it still comes from Taqing. What does the round table say over there, which symbolizes 'free will and independence of personality'. Those Tartars, from the Qing royal family to the Eight Banners nobles, used round tables all day long to show the harmony, equality, and family of the Tartars. But looking at them like that, I don't see where this round table is equal!" he shook his head as he spoke, and the conversation changed, "After this table was passed to my Daming, it was actually only used by a small group of people at first. Until Grandpa Banzai saw it, his old man said that this table was good, symbolizing reunion, harmony and beauty. This round table has only gradually become popular in my Ming Dynasty. However, although it is popular, it can come up with so much at once, and the person who hosts the banquet is also very careful. ”
Zhu Zixu nodded, and then he was relieved. I see. But Tatar Qing is really good at showing. I thought it was just a TV series, but I didn't expect this world to really happen. Reality is often more bizarre than fiction, and the ancients did not deceive me.
Zheng Wei still wanted to speak, but it can be seen that Zhu Zixu was not in a high mood, so he stopped talking. Sit quietly on the side, patiently waiting for the next opportunity.
At this time, the dishes are ready.
Mrs. Qiu came over to ask someone to give an opening speech. Look at this time, first look for Zhang Lu and Master Zhang. Master Zhang is worried now, how can he have the spirit to speak, so he refused. Look for Louzhi County again.
Lou Zhixian was reluctant at first, his status at this table was not high, and he had the experience of Master Zhang, so he didn't dare to agree to anything. However, in the end, under the repeated persuasion of Mrs. Qiu and the gaze of everyone, I still took the errand.
Lou Zhixian stood up and talked about the time of a cup of tea, focusing on showing his appreciation for Zhu Zixu, the new hero, and his retention of Tie Youxia, the old catcher, which caused bursts of applause from everyone below.
After Lou Zhixian finished speaking, Tie Youxia continued to talk about the time of a stick of incense, which is also his departure speech, which has about six meanings.
First, he expressed his obedience to the arrangements of his superiors; second, he reviewed his past work; third, he thanked everyone for their support; fourth, he apologized for the problems existing in his work and for not being able to continue his work; fifth, he said that he would support the work of Qingyun County after he left; and sixth, he wished that the public security work in Qingyun County would get better and better.
Of course, there was a round of applause.
Next is Zhu Zixu's speech. Zhu Zixu's speech was very short, just four words - "Let's eat!"
Although it is not in accordance with the rules, it has won the hearts of everyone below. If you continue to talk about it, the dishes are cold.
As for the meal, I will not repeat it one by one.
Because the people at Zhu Zixu's table are not very familiar, and they have their own thoughts, they don't say a lot.
But Zhu Zixu is still quite satisfied. Because I don't talk much, I eat more. Especially tiger meat, eat enough.
After about two teas, Zhang Lu, who was sitting on the main seat, couldn't sit still, so he had to get up and say goodbye.
Seeing his uncomfortable look, Zhu Zixu was not embarrassed, and generously let him go.
Zhang Lu was leaving, and Lou Zhixian couldn't sit still, so he had to go.
This time, Zhu Zixu kept it, but Lou Zhixian insisted on leaving, and it was not easy to stay. I had to let another one go.
Seeing this, Tie Youxia got up and sent them out through the side door.
Zhu Zixu glanced at it, turned his head to look at Zheng and Lu, and asked softly, "They are gone, what about you, what are your plans?"
Lu Yu looked at Zheng Wei and didn't speak.
Zheng Wei bowed his head and said to Zhu Zixu, "Young Master Xu, I don't know if there is a secluded place?
When Zhu Zixu heard this, he was aroused, and he had something important to do?
"Follow me!"
Zhu Zixu led the two to the main room in the backyard.
After the guests and hosts sat down, Zhu Zixu asked, "Say! What's the matter?"
