Chapter 150 Reception and Wine Banquet
Drunken Fairy House, the largest restaurant in Guizhou Prefecture.
Although the Zuixian Building is not very high, the larger the area, and the decoration is luxurious enough. Moreover, the craftsmanship of the chef in the Drunken Fairy Tower is not inferior to that of Bianliang City at the feet of the emperor.
In the largest room on the second floor, there are two banquets. One table is Guizhou civil servants led by Li Da and Qian; the other table is the generals in the rebel army led by Yang Zongbao, Ding Pu and Wang Lanying. These people are all important figures for Zui Xianlou. Therefore, the shopkeeper looked very carefully at the chefs making their specialty dishes.
Qian Weiyan and Ding Pu in the room looked at the delicious food with good taste and were really hungry. Anyway, the two did not dare to delay too much on the road by the emperor's order, and they did not eat well and slept well. Li Da, who sat next to Qian Weiyan, smiled secretly and picked up his glass and got up:
"Colleagues, Lord Qian and Mr. Ding have come to Guizhou for the first time. Our first glass of wine should be toasted to you two. First, thank the emperor for paying attention to all the state capitals on Guangnan West Road and sending them to appease Lord Qian and Lord Ding. Second, I would like to thank Lord Qian and Ding for their hard work in participating in the discussion and came to comfort the people suffering from the war on Guangnan West Road. Third, colleagues also have an opportunity to learn from Lord Qian and Ding.
The lords of Zhizhou in Guizhou spoke, and the officials below Yuan Guangping got up and looked at Qian Weiyan and Ding Pu respectively. Qian Weiyan and Ding Pu had no choice but to get up and drink a glass of wine with everyone. However, after drinking this glass of wine, Qian Weiyan and Ding Pu immediately found something wrong. Because although this wine is very fragrant, it is also very strong, much more than those they often drink in Bianliang City.
Qian Weiyan understood that Li Da must make a fool of him. So, he began to pay close attention to himself. However, Ding Pu likes this kind of liquor very much because he is young. As soon as he sat down, he poured wine for himself.
When Yang Zongbao saw this, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and he also got up with a glass of wine to face Qian Wei and said, "Lord Qian, Mr. Ding, I and the generals also give you two a drink for your meeting. I'm a rude person. I won't say anything, so I'll do it first.
Qian Weiyan saw that the wine glass in Yang Zongbao's hand had reached the bottom, so he had to drink the wine in his hand, but Ding Pu drank another glass indifferently. I thought it was free this time, but Qian Weiyan, who had just eaten a few mouthfuls of dishes, saw Wang Lanying at the opposite table get up with a wine glass in her hand:
"Lord Qian, I, Wang Lanying, am also a rude person and won't say anything. But Wang Lanying also became a general because of the arrival of Lord Qian. In order to thank you, Wang Lanying paid a cup of money. And Ding, for our cooperation in the future, I will also give you a toast.
"General Wang, I have to drink this glass of wine." Qian Weiyan didn't want to drink, but Wang Lanying became the first general after the first recruitment of the court, which is of great significance here. Qian Weiyan had to give this face no matter what, so he drank the third glass of wine.
Originally, he was not very good at drinking money, but because he had an empty stomach, he drank three cups of wine that was several times bigger than Bianliang City, and his face slowly turned red. Seeing this, Li Da did not persuade him to drink and ate the food honestly. At the same time, Yuan Guangping, who received Li Da's wince, enthusiastically chatted with Qian Wei and drank a few sips of wine.
After Wang Lanying sat down at the other table, he saw that Ding Pu's face was only a little red and patted him on the shoulder again. Again, Ding Pu suddenly leaned forward and almost lay on the table. At the same time, he also laughed and said, "Ding Sanyi, I didn't expect you to be so thin and drink well."
Ding Pu, who had some wine and couldn't suppress his anger, immediately smiled when he heard Wang Lanying's words. Because in Dingpu's heart, women are not as drunk as men. Wang Lanying did not pay attention to him, the son of the Privy Councillor, several times, and Ding Pu had long hated her. However, because Ding Pu still remembered Ding's instructions, he did not have his temper.
But Wang Lanying's words reminded him that since he couldn't get angry on his face, he would get her drunk. Anyway, Wang Lanying is also a woman, and she is also a good- appearance woman. Although he is older than Ding Pu, Ding Pu decided to drink with Wang Lanying for the future. Finally, he got her drunk. After that, the more Ding Pu thought about it, his expression became a little obscene.
Seeing Ding Pu's expression, Yang Zongbao next to him almost spit it out disgustingly. After thinking about it, Yang Zongbao left the room for the convenience of going out. And Wang Lanying managed a cottage, and there were several books full of men in the cottage. How could she not see what Ding Pu was thinking?
With his eyes to stop Zhang Li, who pretended to be a general and was about to attack, Wang Lanying smiled very brightly, and Ding Pu couldn't help spitting. Before Wang Lanying could say anything, Ding Pu couldn't help saying, "General Wang is older than Ding. It's better to call General Wang Sister Wang, which is also convenient to get along with the barracks in the future."
"My sister is begging for it, brother of the Ding family." Wang Lanying picked up the wine pot, filled Ding Pu with wine, and then laughed, "In order to recognize your brother, our sister and brother will have a good drink today, how about it?"
"Sister Wang is so cheerful that it's better to obey than to obey." Ding Pu saw that Wang Lanying did not object and took the initiative to drink with him, which was beautiful in his heart. Moreover, after seeing Wang Lanying's sudden softness, Ding Pu thought that Wang Lanying had a good impression on him.
Just after Wang Lanying and Ding Pu finished drinking a pot of wine, Yang Zongbao came back. After coming back, Yang Zongbao seemed to change his personality and took the initiative to talk to Ding Pu and toast. This surprised Ding Pu and was a little proud. He thought that Yang Zongbao was very practical and remembered that his father was Ding Yu. He was so happy that he made a toast to Wang Lanying and Yang Zongbao, but the visitors did not refuse. It didn't take long for Dingpu's tongue to be a little big.
Yang Zongbao listened to Ding Pu boast to Wang Lanying about his deeds in Bianliang City, but his heart flew to the next door. Just as he went out to get some air, he was pulled into the room by a hand stretched out of the door that suddenly opened. Yang Zongbao, who thought he had been attacked, just wanted to punch the man who pulled him, but he saw that the man turned out to be Yang Zongfeng.
"Brother, it's me, it's me, keep people under the fist." Yang Zongfeng had eaten Yang Zongbao's fist and knew that it was uncomfortable. He quickly took a few big steps back and ran to Mu Guiying's side.
Seeing Mu Guiying, Yang Zongbao immediately put down his fist and came over, very surprised: "Guiying, why are you here?"
Yang Zongfeng, who was beside him, immediately rolled his eyes and was very disgraceful when Yang Zongbao saw Mu Guiying. But he doesn't think about himself. Now when it comes to Huang Fengxian and his newborn son, Yang Zongfeng is not as good as Yang Zongbao.
Mu Guiying is proud and embarrassed about this. Fortunately, Yang Zongbao's situation is only found at home. Therefore, Mu Guiying did not give Yang Zongbao face, but explained softly. This made Yang Zongbao suddenly and had some care.
Listening to the noise next door, Yang Zongbao really didn't want to go there, so he accompanied Mu Guiying to listen here. But in order not to let Qian Weiyan find any excuse, Yang Zongbao had to talk to Mu Guiying and Yang Zongfeng for a while before quietly leaving the room.
"...Sister Wang, you will know when you follow your brother to Bianliang City. Guizhou is not as lively as Bianliang City. It is said that the tile is a major feature of Bianliang City, where..."
At this time, Ding Pu was already half drunk, waving his arms, his eyes were blurred, but his expression was arrogant and arrogant. Yang Zongbao frowned slightly and had an impulse to punch him twice. But Wang Lanying was fascinated by it, which made Ding Pu more and more excited. Of course, if Yang Zongbao hadn't seen a glimpse of cold light in Wang Lanying's eyes, he would have thought that Wang Lanying would have been fascinated by Ding Pu.
Qian Weiyan at the other table was also slightly drunk by Yuan Guangping by boiling frogs in warm water. However, Qian Weiyan is an old fox who has been immersed in officialdom for many years. After discovering that he was going to be drunk, he didn't say anything. Moreover, he began to doze off.
Seeing this, Li Da felt that it was almost done, so he was ready to break up. But Ding Pu refused to leave as if he didn't drink enough and pulled Wang Lanying and Yang Zongbao to continue drinking. Being helped and pretending to be drunk, Qian Wei acted. He suppressed his anger and came forward to persuade him a few words. It was also not useful, so he left without leaving.
Li Da and Yang Zongbao, who followed Qian Weiyan, looked at each other, nodded to each other, and then turned their heads. In their hearts, they felt something from the interaction between Qian Weiyan and Ding Pu, which made both of them involuntarily raise their mouths slightly.
Mu Guiying, who heard the movement of the next room clearly, wanted to see the scene when she followed Mrs. She into the palace to plead guilty. At that time, Mu Guiying and Ding said opposite each other, but Qian Weiyan stood in the queue honestly and had no intention of standing up. So, Qian Weiyan and Ding Yu are not completely united. Perhaps this is the reason for Qian Weiyan's wall grass character.
Anyway, Qian Weiyan and his uncle Ding Pu are not as harmonious as they appear, which is a good news worth remembering for Mu Guiying. Moreover, Li Da, who believes that he has a grudge against Qian Wei, also thinks so.
"Zong Feng, you don't have to listen any more." Mu Guiying stood up, looked at Yang Zongfeng and said, "Tonight, we won't go back to Liuzhou and stay in Guizhou for another night. Let's go back when Dingpu's matter is resolved tomorrow.
"Sister-in-law, do you think of how to let Ding Pu stay in Rongzhou with Wang's sister at ease?" Yang Zongfeng's eyes lit up and admired Mu Guiying's idea so quickly.
Mu Guiying refused to say it, but just smiled and said ambiguously: "Maybe it's okay, maybe not..."
