Chapter 140 Banquet Collection

 Wu Chong hurriedly met with all the scholars and then left.

 When I met Wu Chong just now, it was Wu Anzhi who recommended him.

At that time, Wu Chong came to Shuixie and met the scholars one by one. Zhang Heng and Wang Guan were all familiar with Wu Chong and exchanged several words with him.

  It is a simple number for Zhang Yue and Liu Ji who are not yet married among the few scholars.

 It was as if we met each other face to face.

But don’t make face reading so simple.

This person profiling can be regarded as a first-class knowledge. Of course it is one-sided and wrong to judge people by their appearance, but by taking a rough look at a person, you can get a rough idea. I don’t dare to say it is accurate, but the probability is still high.

An official like Wu Chong, who has been in officialdom for twenty years, can be said to have read countless people, while Zhang Yue can only read countless films.

Seeing Wu Chong leaving, Zhang Yue thought to himself, according to what Zhang Heng said, is this because he didn't like it?

 After the tea break, it’s time to go to the banquet.

Everyone turned around again. Zhang Heng walked beside Zhang Yue with a serious look on his face. He looked at the robe on Zhang Yue and couldn't help but said: "Why don't you come here wearing a better robe?"

 Zhang Yue looked at the robe he was wearing and said to Liu Ji, "This is already my best robe."

Seeing Zhang Heng's surprise, Zhang Yue hurriedly explained: "Most of these robes were bought in the past. Recently, I have grown taller, and the robes I used to wear have become shorter and shorter. As for this one, Liu Zhidao gave it to me."

Hearing this, Zhang Heng said: "That's it."

Immediately, Zhang Heng took off his robe and put it on Zhang Yue. He was only wearing a robe and said, "Just take this and put it on first."

 Zhang Yue was silent for a while, but in the end he did not back down from Zhang Heng's kindness.

 The banquet was held in a high-rise building in the Wu Mansion.

The tall building is actually three stories high. From the top of the tall building, you can have a panoramic view of the outer city of Bianjing.

Everyone praises it as a really good place.

Everyone came to the top of the building. There were pavilions on all sides of the balcony, which was a good place to enjoy the scenery. After Zhang Yue climbed up the building, he could see thousands of lights in Bianjing City, the stretching outer city walls, and the horizon.

A bright moon and countless stars.

Zhang Yue stood by the balcony, facing the cool night breeze, looking at the moonlight from the railing. He also looked at the vast buildings in Bianjing City, and the feeling of wandering in a foreign land. He always lingered. At this moment, he couldn't get rid of it.

I wonder how many people feel this way about the moon?

There were more than a dozen other scholars who were also famous talents in Bianjing City. Some of them were married and some were unmarried, but they all gathered together.

  Although Zhang Yue is currently a student, he has not yet written any articles or poems, so his reputation is not obvious.

 So when people introduce me, they always say, "Oh, you are Brother Ge who wrote the song Pelican Sky."

 ‘I’ve admired the name for a long time, my brother Huanxisha has actually been known as the brothel Chuguan of the capital for a long time.’

Everyone knows each other in this way, and when they get to Zhangyue, they are called "such and such from Ziping" and "such and such from Zihou".

 Zhang Yue didn't care too much about this, and then took his seat.

Each person has a table and a young maid beside him to serve him.

In Wu An's poem, Wu Anchi sat facing south, those with official status sat in the east, and those without official status sat in the west, and they were arranged in order of age.

 Zhang Yue has no official status and is the youngest, so he naturally sits at the bottom of the table.

Zhang Yue was sitting on a brocade pier. While everyone was busy chatting and laughing, he was very relaxed and swept away the delicacies on his table while no one was paying attention to him.

This is also Zhang Yue’s first time to have such a banquet, and it must be said that it is very high-end.

 But the utensils were all exquisite, with silver chopsticks and silver bowls, and they strictly followed the rule of "every wine is offered with two dishes".

  It means that the host raises a toast and after drinking one cup, he will give you two different dishes.

 The food is secondary, but it is a test for the cook.

It seems that Wu Chong has two sets of chefs with such official ethnic groups, and stir -fry a dish while cooking.

 As for the highest standard, it is a glass of wine and four dishes, and as for the ordinary banquet, it is just one dish.

The first appetizers on the table are naihuan cakes, date tarts, and fruits. These are all eaten before the host makes a toast, so that everyone can fill their stomachs first.

But Zhang Yue swept them all away without ceremony. Anyway, according to the rules, if you drink a glass of wine, you have to take away two dishes. If you can't finish it, throw it away.

As a CD-ROM educator, Zhang Yue naturally feels that the bad habit of being wasteful and shameful is really bad.

 Therefore, Zhang Yue was not polite. He really learned how to live, which is to "take the lead in Toutuo Temple". In the words of Water Margin, "there are no birds in his mouth". He would not miss such a sumptuous banquet.

Lamb wine was used to accompany the wine. Lamb wine was the best wine in the Song Dynasty except for the royal wine. Tender mutton was used when making wine.

How much does a dime cost nowadays?

But it only costs more than 80 yuan and a dime of wine. Ordinary people can afford it.

 After a glass of wine, the servants on the left and right came forward with the dishes. The beautiful maids beside them removed the empty plates from Zhang Yue's table and served two more dishes.

 After three rounds of drinking.

 Everyone let go and began to drink with each other.

Zhang Yue has a good drinking capacity. When others come with glasses of wine, he does not hesitate to drink a glass of wine.

When everyone saw this, they all called Zhang Yue happy.

However, there were also some people who secretly laughed at Zhang Yue when he saw that every game was empty.

"Sanlang drinks well and eats well too?" the scholar sitting next to Zhang Yue said in a teasing tone.

Zhang Yue smiled and said: "It's the time when you are growing muscles, so you can't eat more! Don't you hear the words of a half-grown man who eats a poor man?"

The other party laughed for a while after hearing this and said: "Sanlang, you are really a sweetheart. Come on, I'll give you a toast!"

 Zhang Yue smiled and raised his glasses to drink.

                                     whose

This cup of wine is only thirty to fifty milliliters, so Zhang Yue cannot get drunk.

The beautiful maid from the Wu Mansion on the side saw Zhang Yue like this. Although she was not lacking in courtesy, she pursed her lips and snickered again and again.

“We are full of friends today, don’t just focus on eating and drinking!” Zhang Heng couldn’t stand it anymore and came over to give a few words of warning.

 Zhang Yue picked up the meat pie and munched it and said, "I toasted with others, and also talked to the people at the table next to me!"

 Zhang Heng shook his head and felt helpless for a while. If he had known this, he would have better pretended not to know Zhang Yue.

As for Zhang Dun drinking with his friends, he was the head of the Kaifeng Prefecture, and he was also the most eye-catching person at the banquet after Zhang Heng. Many people toasted to him with cups.

 Zhang Dun had a great drinking capacity. Even after toasting so much wine, he did not appear drunk at all. He was indeed a drinker who had been honed in a brothel for a long time.

At this time, the banquet was in full swing, and all the talented people gathered together. Someone suggested that they should take advantage of the wine to write some poems.

 Everyone present applauded.

 Wu Anshi came up with a title to chant the moon.

 Some people laughed and said, just after the Mid-Autumn Festival, everyone wrote a lot of poems chanting the moon, but now they are writing again.

Wu Anshi smiled and said: "Only when there is no moon can you chant the moon. Otherwise, it is not enough to show your talent."

At this time, everyone laughed. Wu Anshi laughed again and said: "It is not allowed to be written by you in the past. If there are any repetitions or if you can't write it, you will be punished with three drinks of wine. However, any poem can be used."

One person smiled and said: "The wine from Wu Dalangjun's house is so good that I tried my best not to write it down, but I had to drink three cups myself."

 Everyone burst out laughing.

 At this time, the maid on the side immediately offered paper and pen.

 Zhang Yue had already stuffed his stomach to fullness, but he saw this maid looking at him with a smile on her face.

 “Mr. Lang, please pick up your pen!”

 Zhang Yue said: "How can I be interested in writing poems when I'm full of wine and food?"

The maid smiled and said, "Mr. Lang has eaten too much. Just go to the fence to eat."

 Zhang Yue said: "That's fine."

 Speaking, the maid helped Zhang Yue to stand up.

Chapter Yue moved to the fence, only to see two or three scholars who could not write poems walked to the fence with him.

 This advertisement is really good and worth placing. After all, there are many sources of books, complete books, and fast updates!

Everyone looked at the bright moon wandering around in the sky, racking their brains to collect poems.
