“The word thank you is too easy to say, won’t Scholar Scholar toast our Lord Yan to show his appreciation?”
As soon as Zhu Pingan’s words fell, Luo Longwen, who was seated at the lower head of Yan Shi Fan at this table, raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhu Pingan with a smile, asking in a sinister voice.
“What Lord Luo said is very true.”
Zhu Pingan nodded his head and smiled, then filled a glass of wine for himself, left the table and came to Yan Shifan with both hands holding the glass, and toasted Yan Shifan with both hands, “Since Pingan entered the capital, he has been taken care of by Lord Yan many times, and Pingan is grateful for that, and he is taking this opportunity to express his gratitude to Lord Yan today.”
“Zi Hou is overstating it, it is just a show of hands.” Yan Shi Fan smiled and shook his head, stretching out his greasy hand to pat Zhu Ping An twice on his shoulder.
In an instant, Zhu Pingan’s brand new scholar’s crown uniform was left with two oily handprints, which were still reflective in the sunlight.
In this regard, as if Zhu Ping An was blind, he turned a blind eye to it, and the gratitude on his face did not change at all.
“Lord Yan raised his hand, but sent Ping An to the blue clouds, how dare Ping An forget, thank you Lord Yan.”
Zhu Pingan said raising his cup with both hands in a toast, on the surface with a respectful look, the gratitude looked very sincere, as for the heart, he silently greeted Lord Yan’s female relatives.
Zhu Pingan’s sense of humour made Yan Shifan very satisfied, his oily paw once again patted twice on Zhu Pingan’s shoulder, then he grabbed a wine cup with his oily fat hand, next to him Luo Longwen attentively filled up Yan Shifan’s wine.
Yan Shifan casually picked up the wine cup with one hand and shook the cup towards Zhu Ping An from afar, then drank it all; Zhu Ping An held the wine cup with both hands and toasted in the direction of Yan Shifan’s wine cup, then he picked up the wine cup with both hands and also drank it all in one go.
After the toast, Zhu Pingan returned to his position with four oily handprints, with a simple smile on his face as before, unperturbed.
Next to the Luo Longwen saw the situation secretly said a pity, he originally wanted to see Zhu Pingan in the oil dirt after the scholar crown dress expression of dissatisfaction, and then take advantage of the opportunity to take advantage of, did not think that Zhu Pingan even blind as blind.
However, the east does not shine in the west. Luo Longwen obviously prepared for both hands, see from here can not find the opportunity to make trouble, then from another breakthrough to Zhu Pingan.
“Speaking of the Scholarship House, that day when we were at the Scholarship House to celebrate the Scholarship Lang. Lord Shang and I were also there, and at that time, we even spoke of some immature experiences to Scholar Yuan Lang. Why did the Scholarship Master favour one over the other, only toasting to us, Lord Yan, but not having a drink with me and Lord Shang?” Luo Longwen sat there like a viper spitting out its mail. Looking at Zhu Pingan, he asked grimly.
Err.
This is Luo Longwen, the Luo Longwen who was enthusiastic at the Scholarship House was too fake.
Looking at Luo Longwen that a set to Zhu Pingan drunken posture, Zhu Pingan heart only this sentence: out to mix, sooner or later to return. Just dodged a lot of wine in the big Enrong Banquet, it seems that in this small Enrong Banquet can not be avoided.
Opening a round of toasts, in the wine table always can not be avoided. Since it can’t be avoided, it is better to face it cheerfully, and perhaps drink less.
“How come, the wine glass is empty, please wait for Ping An to fill up the wine before toasting all the lords.” Zhu Pingan looked at Luo Longwen and smiled slightly.
And so. Zhu Pingan then carried the wine jug in one hand and the wine cup in the other, and toasted a cup of wine in turn from Yan Shi Fan’s right hand position.
The process is roughly to ask for the title, nice to meet you, nice to meet you, pour the wine, hold the glass in both hands to toast, and please take care of me in the future …… Anyway, it is a pass of official words, with the modern day is not too much, slightly different place is, in ancient times toasting is not happy to touch the cup.
When it comes to Shen Lian. Shen Lian looked at Zhu Pingan smiled and opened his mouth:
“Zhu Pingan, Zhu Zihou, finally know your name. When the Renning Street money bag dispute was thanks to little brother’s righteousness. A word to the key point, otherwise it would not be easy for me to discipline that shrewish scoundrel.”
“Oh, Lord Shen is joking, even if I don’t say it, Lord Shen must have a way to discipline that scoundrel.”
Zhu Pingan heard Shen Lian call himself little brother, his heart was still a little excited. Shen Lian is a famous person in history, he is upright, cynical, anti-Yan fighter, as well as his famous “ten sparse offences”, belongs to one of the people in history that he admires more.
However, think of the last time in the small restaurant when I first met Shen Lian scene, Shen Lian drink directly after the restaurant arrogant scold Yan Song, as well as some of the things behind, can also see that this their own admired historical celebrities, just straight is 100 per cent, but there are some will not be adaptable, in addition to cynicism but also have a few points of arrogance.
At that time, while admiring, he pinched a sweat for him.
At this moment toast, Zhu Pingan in his heart will think in a few days after the Ministry of Rites Honglu Temple training, he should find an opportunity to remind Shen Lian, at present his majesty is Yan Song is the time of the holy coupon is prosperous, is not a good time for impeachment of Yan Song, to avoid Shen Lian such as the history of so early as to put forward the “ten sparse crimes”. In addition, the content of the “ten sparse crimes” is also open to question, pay attention to the language and expression, some places in this letter look at is scolding yan song, but in fact also stepped on the tail of jia jing emperor, jia jing emperor so good face of the people, especially and the spirit of odd love suspicion, such “ten sparse crimes” is doomed to be labour, not only can’t bring down the yan song, on the contrary, it will cause jia jing emperor is not happy.
In the history of Shen Lian is in Yan Song holy coupon prosperous time to mention the “ten sparse crime”, after the petition up, Yan Song learned of the news has not yet had time to react to it, Jiajing Emperor stormed out, it can be said that the petition not long, less than a day it, Jiajing Emperor was annoyed sent to catch Shen Lian, decree that Shen Lian framed ministers in the court, and the person with a public caning Shen Lian, cut off the official position, punished to remote places as a commoner. A few years later, was Yan Shifan killed.
Therefore, Zhu Pingan thought of waiting for the training, then find an opportunity to remind Shen Lian, to avoid this tragedy.
“The ‘Prodigy Poem’ made by Lord Shen in the dining hall that day, Ping An thought deeply about it.”
In order to consider when reminding Shen Lian later, gaining Shen Lian’s trust was necessary, so during the toast Zhu Pingan said this without a trace.
Shen Lian was initially stunned, and then remembered that the two Prodigy Poems that he had improvised and changed that day:
When you are young, you should rest and study hard, and money can build a life; when you look at Prime Minister Yan, you will use a rich man.
The Son of Heaven is a great man, and his writings are taught to him; all things are of inferior quality, but only Yan is the only one who serves him well.
These two poems are changed to satirise Yan Song, Zhu Pingan said deep thought, that is to say Shen Lian changed good, that is to say their Shen Lian version of the two prodigy poem is very agreeable, and then implied that they also have nothing good to Yan Song this old thing.
“Little brother scholar talent, must also have a good work, if you do not mind, some other day can come to old brother ugly room, we exchange together.”
Shen Lian understood Zhu Pingan’s hint and nodded with a smile.
