"Thank you is so easy to say. Why don't you, Master Yan, give us a glass of wine to express your gratitude?"
As soon as Zhu Pingan finished speaking, Luo Longwen, who was sitting at the table below Yan Shifan, raised his eyebrows and smiled at Zhu Pingan, and asked in a dark voice.
"What Mr. Luo said is absolutely true."
Zhu Ping'an nodded and smiled, then filled himself a glass of wine, left the table, came to Yan Shifan with the wine glass in both hands, toasted to Yan Shifan with both hands, and said: "Ping An has been taken care of by Master Yan many times since he entered the capital. Ping An is grateful in my heart."
, I would like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude to Mr. Yan today.”
"Zi Hou's words are serious, but it's just a little effort." Yan Shifan smiled and shook his head, stretched out his greasy hand and patted Zhu Ping'an twice on the shoulder.
In an instant, two greasy fingerprints were left on Zhu Ping'an's brand-new champion uniform, which even reflected in the sunlight.
Zhu Pingan turned a blind eye to this, as if he was blind, and the gratitude on his face did not change at all.
"Sir Yan, with a little effort, he sent Ping An to the blue sky. How dare you forget Ping An? Thank you so much, Mr. Yan."
Zhu Ping'an said as he raised his glass with both hands to propose a toast. On the surface, he looked respectful, and his gratitude seemed very sincere. In his heart, he silently greeted Mr. Yan's female relatives.
Yan Shifan was very satisfied with Zhu Ping'an's knowledge. He patted Zhu Ping'an's shoulder twice with his greasy paws, and then grabbed a wine glass with his fat, greasy hands. Luo Longwen next to him filled Yan Shifan's glass diligently.
Yan Shifan casually picked up the wine glass with one hand, shook the glass towards Zhu Pingan from a distance and drank it all in one gulp. Zhu Pingan held the wine glass in both hands and toasted under Yan Shifan's glass, then picked up the wine glass with both hands and drank it all in one gulp.
After toasting, Zhu Ping'an returned to his seat with four greasy handprints, his innocent smile on his face as calm as before.
Luo Longwen, who was standing next to him, secretly thought it was a pity when he saw this. He originally wanted to see Zhu Pingan's dissatisfied expression after his champion uniform was stained by oil, and then took the opportunity to attack. Unexpectedly, Zhu Pingan turned a blind eye and turned a blind eye.
However, if there is no light in the east, there will be light in the west. Luo Longwen was obviously well prepared. Seeing that he could not find an opportunity to attack from here, he attacked Zhu Pingan from another breach.
"Speaking of Zhuangyuan Tower, when I was in Zhuangyuan Tower for the grand ceremony of Zhuangyuan Lang, Mr. Shang and I were also there. At that time, we also told Zhuangyuan Lang some immature experiences. Why did the number one scholar prefer one to another? He only toasted to our Lord Yan, but did not talk to him.
Would you like to have a drink with me, Monk?" Luo Longwen sat there, like a poisonous snake spitting out his venom. He looked at Zhu Ping'an and asked gloomily.
This is Luo Longwen. The enthusiastic Luo Longwen in Zhuangyuanlou back then was too fake.
Looking at Luo Longwen's attitude that he was determined to get Zhu Pingan drunk before he retired, Zhu Pingan only said this in his heart: If you go out to fool around, you will have to pay it back sooner or later. He just hid a lot of wine at the big favor banquet, it seems that in
There is no way to avoid this little favor banquet.
You can't avoid the toast at the wine table at the beginning. Since you can't avoid it, it's better to face it openly and maybe drink less.
"How could it happen? The wine glass is empty. Please wait until Ping An fills up the wine before coming back to greet your lords." Zhu Pingan looked at Luo Longwen and smiled slightly.
So, Zhu Ping'an held the wine pot in one hand and the wine glass in the other, and toasted a glass of wine from Yan Shifan's right hand.
The process is generally to ask for the title, thank you for meeting me, pour the wine, hold the cup in both hands and toast, please take care of me in the future. Anyway, it is just an official conversation, not much different from modern times. The slight difference is that in ancient times, toasting did not Happy to clink glasses.
When he paid tribute to Shen Lian, Shen Lian looked at Zhu Ping'an, smiled, and said:
"Zhu Ping'an, Zhu Zihou, I finally know your name. During the money bag dispute on Renning Street, it was thanks to my little brother's righteous speech. He got to the point with one word, otherwise it would be really difficult for me to punish that rogue."
"Haha, Master Shen is joking. Even if I don't say it, Master Shen will definitely have a way to punish that rogue."
When Zhu Ping'an heard Shen Lian call him little brother, he felt a little excited. Shen Lian was a famous person in history. He was upright, hated evil as much as he hated hatred, and was a fighter against the strict rule of law. His famous "Ten Sins" are among the most famous in history. One of the people I admire more.
However, thinking about the scene when I first met Shen Lian in a small restaurant last time, when Shen Lian arrogantly scolded Yan Song in the restaurant after drinking, and other things that followed, I can also see that this historical celebrity whom I admire is extremely upright. 100%, but some are inflexible. In addition, they are a bit arrogant in their hatred of evil.
At that time, while admiring him, I felt a little sweat for him.
While toasting at this moment, Zhu Ping'an was thinking in his mind that after the Ministry of Rites training at Honglu Temple was completed in a few days, he would find an opportunity to remind Xian Lian that his majesty was currently treating Yan Song at a time when the sacred certificates were prosperous, and it was not a good time to impeach Yan Song to avoid Shen Lian proposed the "Ten Shu Sins" so early in history. In addition, the content of the "Ten Shu Sins" also needs to be discussed. Pay attention to the wording and expression. Some parts of this letter seem to be scolding Yan Song, but in fact I also stepped on the tail of Emperor Jiajing. Emperor Jiajing was such a face-saving person, especially one who was eccentric and prone to suspicion. Such "Ten Sins" are destined to be futile. Not only will they not bring down Yan Song, but they will also cause him to suffer. Emperor Jiajing was unhappy.
Historically, Shen Lian mentioned the "Ten Sparse Sins" when Yan Song was in power. After the letter was submitted, before Yan Song had time to react after learning the news, Emperor Jiajing went berserk. It can be said that not long after the letter was submitted, no One day, Emperor Jiajing was so angry that he sent people to arrest Shen Lian. He ordered Shen Lian to frame the ministers of the court and punished Shen Lian with a cane in public. He was stripped of his official position and sent to a remote place to become a commoner. A few years later, he Killed by Yan Shifan.
Therefore, Zhu Pingan thought that after the training, he would find an opportunity to remind Shen Lian to avoid this tragedy.
"That day, Mr. Shen in the restaurant wrote "The Poetry of a Prodigy," and Ping An was deeply impressed by it."
In order to remind Shen Lian to think about it later, it was necessary to gain Shen Lian's trust, so Zhu Pingan said this without leaving a trace when toasting.
Shen Lian was startled at first, and then he remembered the two "Prodigy Poems" that he had improvised that day:
If you take a break and study hard when you are young, you will be able to stand up with money; if you are strict with the prime minister, you will definitely use rich people.
The emperor values heroes, and his articles teach and teach; all things are of inferior quality, but strictness is the only one that is high.
Both of these poems were adapted to satirize Yan Song. Zhu Ping'an said that he believed in it, which meant that Shen Lian's revision was good. In other words, he agreed with Shen Lian's version of these two prodigy poems, and further hinted that he also admired Yan Song. I don't like this old thing very much.
"My little brother, who is the top scholar, must also have some excellent works. If you don't mind, you can come to my humble room someday and let's talk about it together."
Shen Lian understood Zhu Pingan's hint and nodded with a smile. (To be continued.)
