As the most prosperous place in Bozhou, Zhangwu is as wealthy as Lingyuan.
After the great plague, all kinds of restaurants, restaurants, lanterns, fluttering banners, loud talks and cheers filled the city. In order to stimulate the economy, Fan Tingnan deliberately extended the curfew, which made Zhangwu's businesses more prosperous.
...
In the governor's house, the host is drinking wine, playing music and playing music, and the lights are shining brightly, marking the beginning of a grand banquet.
Fan Tingnan is worthy of being a veteran in officialdom. He arranged the banquet seats very cleverly, with the elderly in front, the young in the back, the literati on the left, and the martial arts on the right. They are clearly separated and do not interfere with each other.
Death Shichen was originally from an official family, and he was from the same family as Hu Qiwei, so he was naturally very close to them. The literati were elegant and the warriors were bold, and they could not even urinate into a pot at the banquet. After several changes of cups, the two county guards also became more active with the warriors, and they guessed fists in a few rooms. Under the invitation, Han Li also rolled up his sleeves, and Wu Ren's pile of wine tables had already exploded.
Three officials from the county governor's office, including Ji Shi and Shi, gave a talk about their talents and etiquette. They invited Hu Qi Shizhong, Xia Qing and other country celebrities to play hut. , and after a while he became too drunk and fell to the ground.
The happiest person in the banquet was undoubtedly Gongsun Qiaomu. This old lady was over eighty years old, and Dongfang Chunsheng called her "old sister". She had already started to implement this wonderful move of 'sending a daughter to the palace to please the saint's face' two years ago. Two years later, Gongsun Qiaomu thought that this matter would be lost in the sea, but it turned out to be a bright future. Isn't that gratifying?
Although the Major Envoy is only ranked eleventh among the fourteenth rank in the harem, being called up as an exception is already a great honor. Regardless of whether her granddaughter is doing well or badly in the palace, just this golden sign is enough to make her The officialdom and shopping malls of Zhangwu were sold to Sanfenbomian, and with a little management, they could regain their former glory.
Thinking that the rejuvenation of the family was just around the corner, Gongsun Qiaomu, who had always been gentle, kind, graceful and never drank alcohol, drank a few drinks unconsciously and chatted with Dongfang Chunsheng about interesting things about his youth, smiling like a flower.
Fan Tingnan and Lu Ling were not familiar with each other before, and they had no intersection in life. They sat side by side at the main seat, complimented each other a few times, exchanged a few glasses of wine, talked about everything, and then started to look at each other. Below.
Neither is it about politics, nor is it about academics, let alone women. A small official from the border area and a special envoy from the imperial court were chatting like this, which was very boring.
Liu Yi and Dongfang Yu, who were sitting at the bottom of the table, were also very boring at the moment. Before leaving, Dongfang Chunsheng and Xia Qing specifically told them to "behave reasonably and not drink alcohol." The two young adults, no, they should be a boy and a girl, had a great time eating at the banquet, and after being half full, It's boring.
In September last year, Liu Yi and Dongfang Yu were leaning on the tower in Wangbei Tower, watching the moon, and had their first drink. They were so impressed by the wine that they called it the 'Tianzun'. Although Liu Yi didn't like drinking, he was very tired after spending a month studying alone in the Sutra Pavilion. He wanted to take a sip of this heavenly water to relieve his fatigue.
So, the two of them looked at the two bottles of wine in front of them greedily, looked at each other, and both sighed!
Gongsun Qiaomu's eldest grandson and Gongsun Haojin's eldest brother, Gongsun Ba, was sitting quietly next to Liu Yi and Dongfang Yu, chewing every dish on the table carefully. He was a little disdainful of the two people's rude behavior, and even more Somewhat jealous. Compared with Gongsun Qiaomu's doting on Gongsun Haojin, Gongsun Qiaomu was very strict with his eldest grandson. From the age of six, Gongsun Qiaomu required him to recite in the morning and dusk, hold books left and right, write thousands of words, and work diligently. If he doesn't work hard enough, Gongsun Qiaomu will use his family's methods and beat him severely. The winter is cold and the summer is hot, and this has been going on for ten years.
In this environment, even a rotten tree will be carved into a green pine, let alone a young man like Gongsun Ba who is the emperor's best.
Gongsun Bu, who was sixteen years old, believed that he had a deep understanding of Yu and Xia mentioned in "Poems" and "Books", and Ming Spring and Autumn in "Li" and "Yue". His talent and learning were also recognized by Gongsun Qiaomu and the Gongsun tribe, and they regarded him as a To revive the hope of the family. At a young age, well-read, favored by thousands of people, and given high hopes, Gongsun Ba was inevitably a little arrogant and arrogant, and a little bit longed for the blue sky and freedom.
Although Liu Yi and Dongfang Yu stayed in Gongsun Mansion for a short time, Gongsun Ba always believed that Jiaolong could not commit himself to the earth snake, and he never took the initiative to contact them. Gongsun Qiaomu was very fond of Liu Yi and Dongfang Yu, but he didn't say much about Gongsun Ba's move, which can be said to be his tacit approval.
The Gongsun family was proud of Northern Xinjiang. They were granted the title of king and marquis, and they protected the family and the country. The majesty and unruly arrogance of looking down on the world have been deeply rooted in their bones.
Officials must have official prestige and people must have momentum. Gongsun Ba despised Liu Yi and Dongfang Yu's behavior of drinking and drinking during the banquet. But then I thought about it, the two people's frowns were understandable and excusable. Their true temperament was much better than my pretending to be temperamental here. But if I behaved the same way as they did, I would definitely lose my temper after returning home. And I was severely punished by my grandmother, so I was very jealous.
Overall, Gongsun Ba was still more contemptuous than jealous.
Once arrogance and prejudice arise in a person's heart, this situation cannot be changed in the short term. For example, a noble child like Gongsun Ba, who was born into a wealthy family, is born with an overbearing arrogance. Perhaps Gongsun Ba himself didn't realize it. In his subconscious mind, he already thought that two ordinary children, Liu Yi and Dongfang Yu, would be a great humiliation to him if they sat with him.
Therefore, no matter whether Liu Yi and Dongfang Yu were standing or sitting, crying or laughing at today's banquet, Gongsun Ba would always look at them with contempt.
Fan and Lu, who were sitting in the main seats, saw this scene clearly. They looked at each other and smiled knowingly.
Lu Ling rolled his eyes, and the plan came from his heart. He spoke first, "Master Fan, the two children Liu Yi and Dongfang Yu have straightforward temperaments, and the other child named Gongsun Ba is young and mature. One is the descendant of a famous sage. , one is the descendant of a famous person in the world, the other is the descendant of generations of nobles, and the three children are all descendants of famous people and wealthy families. How about calling them over to take a test and see the power of this wave?"
Lu Ling had his own reasons for making this suggestion. Firstly, he wanted to see if the three children had real talents. Secondly, he wanted to see what Liu Quansheng's son was like.
"Haha, Lu Zhonglang knows what I'm thinking. Wouldn't it be boring if there were only exams and no bets?" Fan Tingnan clapped his hands in agreement, and then laughed, "It's better to have fun with a small bet. Lu Zhonglang and I will have our own affairs." If someone answers a question fluently and has something to say, we will make an exception and let him have a drink. What do you think?"
Lu Ling smiled warmly and said the word "kind". Fan Tingnan laughed loudly and shouted, calling the three people close. At this time, everyone stopped and threw their eyes, with different expressions.
They all speculated on what kind of medicine Fan Tingnan Hululi was selling.
