While talking, the group arrived at the door of the banquet. Yuan Shao asked Dian Wei to take the Ma brothers and General Pang De to the general hall for the banquet. But he, accompanied by Xun Yu and Yuan Fang, walked towards the civil servants' hall. Needless to say, the banquet was divided into separate halls for civil servants and generals to entertain guests from far away!
Yuan Shao walked in casually and saw that all the main civil servants under his command had arrived and were waiting for our arrival.
Seeing their lord Yuan Shao coming, they all stood up and saluted together and said, "I'm here to see you, Your Majesty the Prime Minister. May your lord be blessed and safe!"
"Hahaha, everyone is exempt from courtesy, don't be polite!" Yuan Shao responded with a smile.
"Thank you, lord!", his subordinates returned the greeting.
Yuan Shao walked to his seat and sat down. He saw that the envoys from far away had already come to his seat, but none of them sat down without his own instructions.
So Yuan Shao greeted them and said, "You are guests from afar, so don't be so formal. There are no outsiders here today. Just feel free to do whatever you want!"
"Thank you, Prime Minister, I can't thank you enough!" Another response came.
After the words fell, everyone took their places. After everyone was seated, there was no need for Yuan Shao to give orders. Under the command of Yuan Fang, the servants brought out the prepared wine and food to entertain these guests from afar.
After all, we are guests from afar, and they come with heavy gifts. How can we not be greeted with good wine and good food? So prepare a little wine, entertain them well, and show your kindness as a landlord!
After the food and wine were served, Yuan Fang returned to his lord Yuan Shao and served his lord in person. After he poured the first glass of wine, Yuan Shao held the wine glass and smiled at everyone.
"I'm very happy that everyone can come to my wedding today. I'm really grateful. I won't say much more. It's all in this glass of wine. Please raise your glass and drink it full!" After saying this, he drank it all in one gulp. .
"I would like to thank you, Your Majesty the Prime Minister. It is our lifelong honor to be able to attend Ming Gong's wedding!" Seeing that the Prime Minister took the lead in drinking the glass of wine, everyone did not dare to neglect and drank it all in one gulp.
"Hahaha!" Yuan Shao picked up the second glass of wine that Yuan Fang filled and smiled at everyone, "This second glass is for your lord and monarch. If it weren't for them, we wouldn't be gathering here. So. Thank you to them, and I hope you can bring my gratitude to them. Here, I thank you!"
"Don't worry, Prime Minister, I will definitely bring it to you. Our lord also asked us to send greetings to the Prime Minister. Congratulations to the Prime Minister on your great happiness!" After hearing this, everyone drank the cup and thanked their lord.
"Hahahahahaha!"
Yuan Shao burst out laughing at these flattering words. Putting down the wine glass that he had just finished drinking, Yuan Fang naturally filled it up immediately. Yuan Shao raised his wine glass and ordered everyone. The fastest updated Qiqi /
"We gather here today, but for joy. So today we only talk about romance and don't ask about state affairs!"
Yuan Shao's implication is that everyone can just eat and have fun today. As for the rest, we can discuss it another day.
After everyone understood what Yuan Shao meant, they all sighed and responded to Yuan Shao, "What the Prime Minister said is absolutely true. Today we will only talk about friendship, not political affairs!"
"Hahahahahahaha! Today you all will have a drink and you won't come home until you're drunk!"
"Thank you, Prime Minister. I won't come back until I'm drunk!"
After three glasses of wine, everyone started drinking. They all put it down and became restrained. Everyone invited friends and relatives, gathered together in twos and threes, and started drinking. After a while, you are toasting me a glass of wine, and I am toasting you a glass of wine. The drinking is very happy and lively!
Yuan Shao observed an interesting phenomenon while drinking. That is, I don’t know when Xun Yu, Guo Jia, Cao Cao’s envoy Xun You, and Lu Bu’s envoy Chen Gong got together and drank happily. Maybe the literati are a little familiar with each other, or maybe they are already familiar with each other. Not long after this, Liu Bei's envoy Kuai Liang, whom they didn't know at first, also became familiar with them!
But there were only two people who were a bit out of touch. Instead of getting together with everyone, they drank alone. This surprised Yuan Shao. Looking carefully, he found that they were Zhou Yu, the envoy from Jiangdong, and Zhang Song, the envoy from Yizhou. Of course, he learned their names from Xun Yu, who served as the guide for the envoys receiving the heroes this time. , of course the clearest.
Yuan Shao was surprised to see that they were not in harmony with each other. It doesn’t matter that Zhang Song is not gregarious. After all, he is a bit ugly. Maybe he is afraid of scaring others. But Yuan Shao really couldn't figure out the reason why Zhou Yu didn't drink with everyone. Unless you think too highly of yourself and look down on everyone here!
In fact, Zhou Yu does look down on everyone here and thinks that everyone here is rubbish, including our Prime Minister Yuan Shao. Zhou Yu has always been pretentious and arrogant, and because he is suave, handsome, and a bit handsome, he naturally looks down on everyone and looks down upon everyone.
Especially for our Prime Minister Yuan Shao, he looks down upon him. Although Yuan Shao has a reputation as a talented person, he is also famous all over the world. But Zhou Yu always believed that this was Chen Lin, that is, Yuan Shao's instruction to praise him, so it was not trustworthy!
This time, I came all the way from Jiangdong to ask Sun Ce for orders. On the one hand, I wanted to find out the truth about the imperial court, and on the other hand, I was preparing to curb Yuan Shao's arrogance and make him stop being so arrogant. You must know that there are people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the world. Don't underestimate us Jiangdong, let alone me, Zhou Yu. There was no chance to take action, so I was drinking alone and thinking about how to be provocative! The fastest updated Qiqi /
Yuan Shao didn't know much about Zhou Yu's Xiao Jiujiu, and he didn't bother to know. Seeing that everyone had almost finished drinking and was a little tipsy, he signaled to Chen Lin with his eyes that he could do as he had been told before.
Chen Lin nodded knowingly, pushed away the desk, cleared her throat, and followed the host's instructions while raising her glass and suggesting.
"Today we are full of guests, and the feast is coming. There are no good works, and we cannot talk about our friendship freely. I also invite you to show your talents, win some fun, and help everyone enjoy the wine. I wonder what everyone thinks?"
After hearing what Chen Lin said, Zhou Yu thought that the opportunity had come. He was about to express his agreement, but the envoy from Yizhou next to him, Zhang Song, probably answered him first.
"Okay, okay, I like this, Zhang Song!" Zhang Song said with a sly smile.
Zhou Yu felt disgusted when he saw his vulgar appearance, and looked at him one more time, feeling even more vulgar that his character looked very vulgar. Knowing that he spoke for her, she didn't agree with him and responded accordingly.
"Yes, this is good, I agree!"
"Very good, we agree!"
"Yes, we all agree!"
Seeing that both of them agreed, the rest of the people followed suit and agreed not to be outdone.
Since ancient times, there has been no first in literature and no second in martial arts. Everyone has thought of the same thing and is ready to perform well at the banquet and overwhelm the other. In addition to gaining glory for your own monarch, you can also establish a reputation for yourself. Kill two birds with one stone, why not do it!
Sure enough, if there is no good banquet and no good meeting, we know that their literati have more discerning minds. It seems that the purpose of entertaining the envoys of the princes separately is this!
