Yuan Shu smiled slightly, his father-in-law was afraid that his disciple would be wronged, so he should give him a reassurance.
"Haha, Yuan Tan, you still haven't thanked our Lord Zhou Mu."
Although Gu Yong and Cai Yong were not related by blood, he was very happy that his disciple could be reused. If he could really become a prefect, it would not be in vain for Gu Yong to abandon the county magistrate and come to Jizhou.
"Gu Yong thanked my lord."
Hearing Cai Yong's words, Gu Yong also felt a little secretly happy. His grandfather only served as the prefect of Yingchuan back then. If he could do this, he would be considered a glorious person.
The current Gu Yong is not the prime minister Sun Wu later, and the prefect is considered a feudal official.
"Well, Cai Jijiu, do you have anything else? If not, don't leave. I'll arrange a banquet at noon."
After the people accepted the food and the officials gave it away, it was time to eat.
"Forget it, the school's affairs are inextricably linked. I want to discuss it with Yuan Yu. In addition, Yuan Tan has to come and help me first, and then let him report to Yuan Hao after the school has figured it out."
Cai Yong shook his head. You can drink and eat at any time. School is the most important thing. A hundred-year plan must not be delayed.
"Okay then, you go and do your work first. We will have a banquet in the evening. One will welcome the two of them, and the other will introduce them to the civil and military forces of Jizhou."
"This is the best thing."
In the evening, all the civil and military officials from Jizhou arrived, including not only Tian Feng, Xun You, Zhao Yun, Gao Lan and others, but also Zhou Dajiang and Zheng Hun, who were in charge of the craftsman camp, as well as officials from various departments and some aristocratic families who had taken refuge with Yuan Shu.
"My lords, today's banquet is not for anything else but to welcome two great talents to Jizhou. These two are both disciples of Cai Jijiu, Yuan Yu and Yuan Tan. I still don't want to toast you all."
When everyone arrived, Yuan Shu looked directly at Ruan Yu and Gu Yong.
"I, Ruan Yu (Gu Yong), have met all of you."
When the two protagonists of today's banquet heard Yuan Shu's words, they stood up and raised their wine glasses to propose a toast to everyone.
"From today on, Yuan Yu is the superintendent of Jizhou, responsible for inspecting and supervising the two prefectures of Youji. This second glass of wine is dedicated to our Superintendent Ruan."
Yuan Shu picked up the wine cup and pointed at Ruan Yu from a distance.
"Respect Superintendent Ruan."
"Master Ruan, please take good care of me in the future."
"Yes, please take care of me."
Yuan Shu raised his glass, and the others also raised their wine glasses in honor of Ruan Yu.
"Yuan Hao."
After finishing the second glass of wine, Yuan Shu looked at Tian Feng aside.
"Lord."
Tian Feng couldn't help but be startled when he heard Yuan Shu calling him.
"Didn't you say last time that you still lacked a deputy?"
As soon as Yuan Shu said these words, Tian Feng knew what Yuan Shu meant, that he was going to give him an apprentice.
"Well, I have a lot of things to do now, but I really only have a deputy. What's the matter? Does the Lord have a suitable candidate?"
Yuan Shu was very satisfied with Tian Feng's answer and nodded directly to him.
"Yuan Tan has a quick mind and extraordinary abilities. If he can't do it, just practice it with you? How about it?"
Although Yuan Shu used a negotiating tone, anyone with a discerning eye would know that he wanted to cultivate Gu Yong and pave the way for him.
"Well, if that's the case, Tian Feng would be very grateful to my lord."
Tian Feng nodded and told Yuan Shu that he understood.
"Okay, let's toast Yuan Tan with this third glass of wine. I hope he can work hard and change from deputy to full-time as soon as possible, haha."
After Yuan Shu finished speaking, he picked up the wine cup.
"Jing Yuan sighed."
"Master Gu, cheers."
"Brother Gu, please take good care of me in the future."
"The opening drinks are over, let's go on our own. Let's drink until we get drunk today."
After Yuan Shu finished speaking, he drank another swig of wine, and then the heroes danced wildly.
After drinking for three rounds, Cai Yong suddenly stood up.
"Wine without poetry, wouldn't it be boring? How about we recite poetry in anticipation of wine?"
After hearing Cai Yong's words, everyone was stunned for a moment, and then immediately became enthusiastic.
"Since the teacher said so, let me use today's banquet as an introduction."
Ruan Yu has always regarded the words of his master as golden rules. Now that he has said it, he will take the lead.
"Yangchun and Qi Dynasty.
A wise master respects benevolence.
Bu Huisui characters.
Love always comes to you.
Go to court for entertainment.
Chinese and foreign treasures of the time.
Collection of Five Flavors and Wind and Rain."
Ruan Yu suddenly paused while reciting the poem, and then drank the wine in one gulp.
"A cup of wine is like a floating cloud."
"A cup of wine is like a floating cloud, but it should be white."
After Cai Yong heard Ruan Yu's last sentence, he directly picked up the wine in his hand and drank it all.
"A toast and a drink like a floating cloud."
"Qian, Superintendent Ruan, you are so talented in literature."
"Drink, drink, one cup is not enough, just three cups."
After recalling Ruan Yu's poem, everyone raised their glasses and drank heavily.
With Ruan Yu's introduction, the banquet directly entered a climax. Everyone present composed poems one after another, and if there was a masterpiece, everyone would drink together.
"Highway, shouldn't you compose a poem on this occasion for everyone to appreciate?"
After drinking a lot of wine, Cai Yong was already a little confused. Except for Ruan Yu's poems, although the other masterpieces were good, they were not amazing.
"Yes, I have long heard that my lord is an unparalleled poet. On his wedding day, he sang a song called "Magpie Bridge Immortal" that amazed all of Kyushu. I wonder if Gu Yong is lucky enough to witness the birth of this masterpiece."
Hearing Cai Yong's words, Gu Yong's eyes suddenly lit up. He rushed to Jizhou after receiving Cai Yong's message. Firstly, it was because of his trust in the teacher, and secondly, it was because of Yuan Shu's song "Magpie Bridge Immortal".
The so-called sympathy for each other, he is also a person who likes literature. If he can find a master who is both civil and military, it will be very satisfying.
"Yes, it is said that hearing the truth in the morning and dying in the evening is enough. If you can hear your lord's masterpiece, Ruan Yu will definitely shed tears of gratitude."
Ruan Yu also spoke.
"My lord, just compose a song, otherwise this banquet will be boring."
Tian Feng also asked Yuan Shu for poems.
"Yes, lord, let's make a song."
"Well, if my lord composes a masterpiece, I will drink five nobles."
"How can five nobles be enough? At least one cup is required."
Yuan Shu also shook his head when he saw everyone drinking. This group of people knew how to exploit him.
Yuan Shu gently tapped the bartender in front of him with his chopsticks, and the originally noisy banquet suddenly became silent. Everyone was waiting for his masterpiece.
A famous poem by Li Bai came to mind leisurely.
"The gold wine is worth ten thousand dollars, and the jade plate is worth ten thousand dollars.
Stopping the cup and throwing chopsticks, I can't eat. I draw my sword and look around at a loss.
If you want to cross the Yellow River, which is blocked by ice, you will have to climb the snow-covered mountains of Taihang.
I used to go fishing and sit on the stream in my spare time, and suddenly I was riding a boat and dreaming about the sun."
Yuan Shu stopped as he spoke.
When Yuan Shu stopped, everyone's hearts suddenly skipped a beat. It was like driving a train and preparing to enter a hole, but suddenly there was an oil leak.
"Highway, this poem isn't finished yet."
Cai Yong frowned and looked at Yuan Shu. He was a person who loved poetry, but half of this poem made people feel itchy.
Yuan Shu didn't say anything but grabbed the wine jar on the table and took several swigs.
