Since Gao Shi was elected as the chief by everyone, he naturally took on the responsibility of controlling the rhythm of the banquet. He accompanied everyone to look out the window for a moment, coughed lightly, and said with a smile: "Lady Qinglian, today you
This is so ridiculous!"
"What's wrong?" Li Bai turned around blankly, saw everyone present, smiled, and apologized, "I suddenly remembered an old friend, Li Menglang. Please forgive me!"
"Who said you were remembering your old friend?" Without waiting for everyone to respond, Gao Shi said first: "Such a beautiful wine, I will salivate when I smell it. You only poured one glass down. I'm afraid that before Mr. He could drink it, he was drunk by Xitian on the way.
One bite from each of the Buddhas will be intercepted completely!"
Everyone couldn't help laughing after hearing this. After laughing enough, they slowly noticed that there was a very light but very persistent aroma of wine floating in the air. Li Bai is a famous wine god, and he smelled this smell
, how could he not understand that he had picked up a treasure today? He immediately ordered the boy waiting on the side to fill up another cup for him, holding it in his hand and turning it slowly, "Good wine, good wine, I'm afraid I can't put down more than twenty."
It’s almost 20 years old. I wonder who makes such good wine?”
"This is a fine wine stored in the Qin Mansion. I brought it out specially to entertain you brothers today!" Wang Xun nodded and introduced with a smile, intending to put gold on his friend's face.
Hearing this, everyone raised their cups one after another. Sure enough, they saw a cup of amber wine slowly rotating along the mouth of the cup. Perhaps it was because it had just been warmed before being brought to the cup. There were still white particles scattered on the surface of the wine.
The fog lingers like a burning incense orchid.
After all, she has been among dignitaries all day long, and her knowledge is far broader than that of others. She frowned and sniffed lightly, put down the wine cup, and asked with a smile: "The recipe for this wine is probably passed down from the palace.
Come out! It is said that the first person to brew this wine was an eldest princess of the Tang Dynasty. May I ask the two young princes of the Qin family if the rumor is true?"
"The recipe was indeed created by Princess Lanling for Emperor Gaozong in the past. The Qin family was lucky enough to get the recipe and added two more steps themselves!" Qin Guomo nodded very much and smiled broadly when mentioning the glory of his elders.
"Is that really a rare thing? I am lucky enough to drink this wine because I am banished immortal, Secretary Gao, and Zhang Tanhua." Aunt Gongsun is very good at praying and singing. As she speaks, she has already complimented the main people present.
All over.
Seeing that it was almost time, Wang Xun clapped his hands lightly and ordered the waiters to start serving the dishes. Those dishes were also rare delicacies in Chang'an City. Gao Shi moved his index finger when he saw them, smiled, raised his wine cup, and shouted loudly
Said: "Fine wine and delicious food, but disrespectful. Come, gentlemen, drink to the full from this cup! Thank you, the host here, for your kindness!"
"Thank you, the host, for your kindness!" "Thank you for your honor!" Everyone raised their wine glasses and sang in harmony.
After the guests and hosts toasted each other a few times, the atmosphere at the table became more intense. Gao Shi looked at everyone and suggested with a smile, "How can you drink such a good wine without following the wine order? Everyone, how old is I, how old is Qu Chang today?
So he boldly proclaimed himself the Ming Dynasty. For this "law recording matter" and "gang recording matter", please invite Gongsun Jiajia and Lei Daxia to do both." (Note 1)
After that, he slowly drank the wine in his hand.
"That's natural!" Everyone agreed. Gongsun and Lei Wanchun couldn't shirk it, so they had to accept the errand. But Li Bai smiled and suggested loudly: "If you can only drink such a fine wine if you lose, Li will
I have given up defeat time and time again. What if we change the rules, and only the winners are given wine, and the losers are only given a cup of tea? "What do you think?"
Everyone responded with a roar, and then they came up with the topic from the Lu Lu. Aunt Gongsun looked around and saw that there were many literati at the table, so she smiled and chose an elegant order. However, everyone was asked to quote a poem from the Book of Songs and talk about a plant.
.It’s better to talk about drinking wine, but not to mention drinking tea.
Because he had just heard Mrs. Gongsun introduce Bai Yunzhi's name, and saw that her eyes had never left Wang Xun's side since she entered the table. Gao Shi guessed that there must be a ray of affection between the two. After thinking about it,
He laughed in a low voice: "Assorted water plants are flowing around, and fair ladies are coveted." Haha, thanks to Mingyun, Gao has a drink!"
Everyone pursed their lips and laughed, making Bai Yongzhi smile until her face turned red and she was extremely shy. Li Bai followed Gao Shi and immediately said: "There are hazelnuts in the mountains and lings in the sky. Who cares? Western beauty. Haha,
I can drink two!" After saying that, he immediately drank all the wine in front of him in one gulp, then ordered the boy to fill it up and gulped it down again.
Following Li Bai was Zhang Xun. He smiled at Wang Xun and recited in a low voice: "There is a woman riding in the same carriage, her face is like Shunhua. The general will soar and fly, wearing jade Qiongju." (Note 2)
After Zhang Xun came Cui Hao, who was astonishingly talented but had a troubled life. He said habitually: "In the past, I left, and the willows were still there. Now I come to think about it, and the rain and snow are falling." After saying that, he shook his head with a smile.
Drained the wine.
Lei Wanchun had not read many books, so although his stomach was full of wine bugs, he could only drink tea to satisfy his craving. When it was Cen Shen's turn, he chanted: "From the east of my uncle, my head is like a flying pod. Isn't there no cream bath?"
, who is suitable for her appearance." Although it was a joke on Bai Yuzhi today that "women want their appearance to please themselves," it unintentionally adopted a sadder rhyme, which was consistent with his current experience of not being able to recognize his talents.
The Qin brothers have been reading poems and books since they were young, and they are quick to respond to such simple commands. One smiled and whispered, "How can I get the weeds and talk about the back of the tree? I would like to say Sibo, and my heart will be cured." The other
Beating the beat, he sang in a low voice, "The flowers are rustling. If you don't see them for a day, it's like three autumns." It can be said that every sentence is just right.
When he arrived at Wang Quan, he smiled and added, "If you miss the salary, you will cut off the grass; when your son returns, you will cut the horse's horse." He was teasing Wang and Bai with envy.
Bai Yongzhi was teased by everyone so much that her pink neck drooped, and she almost didn't dare to raise her head. When it was her turn to drink, she glanced at Wang Xun, lightly opened her red lips, and sang in a low voice: "The branch of the orchid is worn by the boy."
"Although I wear the hibiscus, I don't know how. My face is soft, and my belt hangs down with fear. The boy wears the orchid leaf. Even though I wear the hibiscus, I don't know. My face is smooth, and my belt hangs down with fear."
The song was melodious and sweet, and he finished singing the whole song a cappella before slowly stopping, picking up the wine cup and sipping it lightly under his red lips. This was close to expressing his true feelings, making everyone feel like they had traveled to ancient times and saw the lush forest.
At that time, a girl took the initiative to express her love to the ignorant man, shyly and angry. Although she was surprised by her boldness, she also admired her wisdom.
The reason why the Tang Dynasty allowed the barbarians to come to the dynasty was not only because of its powerful military force and the prosperity of the market, but also its rich cultural atmosphere, which made visitors wish they could change themselves into black hair, black eyes, and yellow skin to share this
The beautiful scenery of the prosperous age. Therefore, although Wang Xun is not good at reading, as a native of Chang'an, he can't help but drink a few words. Under the expectant and encouraging eyes of everyone, he cleared his throat and whispered
Hedao said: "Throw me a papaya and repay you with Qiong Yao. If the bandit repays you, you will always think it is good! Give me a peach and repay you with Qiong Yao. If the bandit repays you, you will always think it is good! Give me a plum tree.
Repay it with Qiongjiu. If a bandit repays you, you will always think it is good!"
"Okay, haha!" Everyone clapped their hands and laughed, raised their wine glasses, and drank together for the two young men. Seeing that Lei Wanchun was not familiar with this, Aunt Gongsun changed to a simpler one for the second round.
, word-splitting order. Split a word into two, without asking for the source of the allusion, as long as it corresponds to today's scene.
Everyone shouted "Hello" and opened it one by one. However, it was Lei Wanchun who offered tea instead of wine, and the others drank happily. If this continued, it would be tantamount to bullying Lao Lei. At the beginning of the third round, Aunt Gongsun thought
After thinking for a while, he slowly said: "All the gentlemen here are well-equipped in both civil and military affairs. It would be too monotonous to just carry out elegant orders. Why don't we change to a new rule, and everyone uses what he is best at to serve everyone with wine, poems, and songs?
Whether it's piano or martial arts, it doesn't matter the situation, as long as it can win everyone's approval. Don't follow the order of seats, just do whatever you want. If everyone has finished their turn and the last person can't come up with anything, you can only drink tea!
"
The pattern of this drinking ceremony was indeed novel, and everyone agreed with a smile. Li Bai's quick thinking was unparalleled in the world. After thinking for a while, he said with a smile, "I will show my shame first, and praise the contents of this cup with a poem." Then,
Clearing his throat, he chanted in a low voice: "Lanling's wine is filled with tulips, and the jade bowl contains amber light. But it makes the host drunk, and the guests don't know where they are." The rhyme is not neat, and the words are repeated, but it is better than casual.
The chanting can match the fine wine in front of you. It is worthy of the name of banished immortal.
Everyone had stopped playing, Gao Shi looked at Li Bai, smiled and scolded, "I originally wanted to take advantage of this to be lazy, but I couldn't think as fast as you. You snatched me away first. That's all, that's all, Cen Qi, lend me the sword."
use."
Cen Shen's sword has never been away from his body, and it is also lying on the side of his leg while he is drinking. When Gao Shi came to borrow it, he handed it over with both hands. Gao Shi took it with both hands, pulled out the sword with a "choking" sound, and first dipped his fingers in the wine.
Moisten it, and then bend your fingers to play. Just listen to a tinkling-dong-dong sound, like beads spitting out of a spring spring, and like the breeze blowing in the willows. It makes people feel warm and indescribably comfortable.
As I was thinking about it, the tune suddenly turned sharp. In addition to the gentle breeze, there was a faint sound of horse hoofs. Immediately afterwards, the whistle broke through the sky, and soldiers clashed. Soldiers came and went, and banners were hunting. The peace and tranquility of spring and flowers quickly turned into gold.
Ge Tiema's impassioned generosity made people's hair stand on end and their blood boil. I really wanted to draw my sword and get involved in it.
After the song ended, everyone was still silent in the mood. After a long while, Bai Yuzhi sighed quietly and praised in a low voice, "Fortunately, Secretary Gao only played the sword to make music. If he had a qin in his hand, half of the qin players in Chang'an City would be there tomorrow."
I’m going to jump into the river.”
Note 1: It was a custom in the Tang Dynasty to select one person as the head of the wine order, that is, the Ming Dynasty. There were two recorders, one responsible for formulating the rules of the wine order, and the other responsible for supervising everyone's drinking.
Note 2: The words inside are all from the Book of Songs. Shunhua means hibiscus flower.
Note 3: The prosperity of the Tang Dynasty was not only due to its military warfare. Its cultural prosperity and magnanimity could not be surpassed by subsequent generations. Having written this, let the drunkards go and pour themselves a drink, thinking that the Tang Dynasty was prosperous.
