"The word "thank you" is too easy to say. Why don't you, Master Yan, give us a glass of wine to show 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." , today I would like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude to Mr. Yan.”
"Zihou's words are serious, it's just a little effort." Yan Shifan smiled and shook his head, stretched out his greasy hand and patted Zhu Pingan's shoulder twice.
In an instant, two greasy handprints were left on Zhu Ping'an's brand-new champion uniform, which was even reflective in the sun.
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 in a toast. On the surface, he looked respectful, and his gratitude seemed very sincere. In his heart, he silently greeted Master 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 greasy fat hands. Luo Longwen next to him filled Yan Shifan's wine 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, the innocent smile on his face remained calm and calm.
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 grease, and then took the opportunity to attack. Unexpectedly, Zhu Pingan turned a blind eye and turned a blind eye.
However, the east is not bright and the west is bright. Luo Longwen was obviously well prepared. Seeing that he could not find an opportunity to attack from here, he attacked Zhu Ping'an from another breach.
"Speaking of Zhuangyuan Tower, when I was in Zhuangyuan Tower for the Zhuangyuan Lang's grand tour that day, 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 me, Monk, to have a drink?" Luo Longwen sat there, like a poisonous snake spitting out its seeds. Looking at Zhu Pingan, he asked gloomily.
Well
This is Luo Longwen. The enthusiastic Luo Longwen in Zhuangyuanlou back then was too fake.
Seeing Luo Longwen's attitude of determined to get Zhu Ping'an drunk before sleeping, Zhu Ping'an only had this sentence in his heart: If you come out to fool around, you will have to pay back sooner or later. I just hid a lot of wine at the big favor banquet, and it seems I can't avoid it at this small favor banquet.
The opening toast is something that cannot be avoided at the wine table. Since you can't avoid it, you might as well face it and maybe drink less.
"How could it be? The wine glass is empty. Please wait until Ping An fills up the wine before greeting your lords." Zhu Pingan looked at Luo Longwen and smiled slightly.
then. 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 a title, thank you for meeting me, pour the wine, toast with a cup in both hands, and please take care of me in the future... Anyway, it is just an official conversation, not much different from modern times, with some slight differences. That is, in ancient times, people did not clink glasses when toasting.
When I paid tribute to Shen Lian. Shen Lian looked at Zhu Pingan, smiled, and said:
"Zhu Ping'an, Zhu Zihou, I finally know your name. The fight over the money bag on Renning Street 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."
Zhu Ping'an felt a little excited when he heard Shen Lian calling him little brother. Shen Lian is a famous person in history. He is an upright man, hates evil as much as he hates evil, and is a fighter to resist the strict rule of law. He is also famous for his "Ten Sins" that will go down in history. He is one of the people in history that 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 100% upright. Yes, but some of them 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 training at Honglu Temple of the Ministry of Rites 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 certificate was prosperous, and it was not a good time to impeach Yan Song to avoid Shen Lian proposed the "Ten Shu Sins" as early as in history. In addition, the content of "Ten Shu Sins" is also open to discussion. Pay attention to the wording and expressions. Some parts of this letter seem to be scolding Yan Song, but in fact they are also stepping on the tail of Emperor Jiajing. Emperor Jiajing was such a face-saving person. , especially because he was eccentric and prone to suspicion. Such "Ten Sins" were destined to be futile. Not only would they not be able to defeat Yan Song, but they would also make Emperor Jiajing unhappy.
Historically, Shen Lian mentioned the "Ten Sparse Sins" when Yan Song was in the ascendant. After submitting the letter, before Yan Song had time to react after hearing 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 punish him 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 was killed by Yan Shifan.
Therefore, Zhu Pingan thought that after the training, he would find an opportunity to remind Xian Lian to avoid this tragedy.
"The "Prodigy Poems" written by Mr. Shen in the restaurant that day was deeply appreciated by Ping An."
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 attaches great importance to heroes, and his writings and teachings are of great importance; all things are inferior, 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 deeply believed in it, which meant that Shen Lian's revision was good. In other words, he agreed very much with Shen Lian's version of these two prodigy poems, and further hinted that he also admired Yan Song. There's nothing good about this old guy.
"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.)
