Shu Chen

Chapter 14
Yo Yo Lu Ming, eat the apple of the wild; I have guests, and I encourage and play the sheng.

Blowing the sheng and drum springs, bearing the basket is the general; people who are good to me, show me to travel around.

I don't know if Zhang Biao wanted to show his family status, or if he was really happy that Zheng Pu came to the banquet. When the carriage and horses fell out of the door, there was a music playing with a flute and drum spring to greet him, which really surprised Zheng Pu.

Then, the heart is awe-inspiring.

As the saying goes, the longer the ceremony, the more the image will be.

I have never met each other before, and my reputation and family background are not very good, so An Neng can treat evil with such courtesy?

However, Zheng Pu's thoughts were tossing and turning, and since he had no long things in his body and no place for others to covet, he gave birth to the mentality of waiting to see what Zhang Boda's plans were.

Some courtesy, divided host and guest into the house.

When Fang Zhi entered the banquet hall, he found that someone had already stood with his hands behind his back.

I saw that he was eight feet long, with a gibbous waist, and his side was super dusty.The square face is wide and the forehead is wide, the nose is hanging like a gall, the two thick eyebrows flying obliquely into the temples, and the pair of ringed eyes are blazing, truly extraordinary.The mustache is thick and long, and neatly trimmed, adding a bit of gentleness.

Looking at this person's demeanor, he is by no means a generalist!

This was the first thought that popped into Zheng Pu's heart.

Immediately, doubts arose: Could it be that Zhang Biao spent a lot of time moving out of the Wang family in Li County and invited me to a banquet because of this person?

And that man, seeing Zheng Pu stepping in, without waiting for Representative Zhang to introduce him, he bowed his hands first and made a sound like a bell.

"The next is Liu Yin Liu Xiuran, also from Chengdu. I am friends with Boda, and when I learned that Boda was holding a banquet today, a certain heart also admired Zijin's name, so he made a bold face, and hoped that Zijin would not take offense. ."

"Don't dare, don't dare."

Even after being humble, Zheng Pu also hurriedly bowed his hands to return the salute, "Brother Boda does not use Pu rude to introduce friends and friends, it is my luck!"

After being seated at the table, Zhang Biao made people sing and dance, and the servants and maids offered food and drinks.

It also opened Zheng Pu's eyes, what is the extravagance of the wealthy family.

First, the second servants carried a square furnace with a moiré pattern on the head of a beast, and outside the banquet, they cooked fried meat, such as deer, sheep, chicken, fish and other meats, all of which were plump and plump.

Next, the three servants held the bronze dyeing furnace in their hands and placed them on their respective tables.

A charcoal stove is placed on the bottom, a plate is placed in the middle, and the sauce soup with pepper and garlic is warmed and boiled.

Thirdly, the maid presented many salted vegetables such as woks, green onions, and chives, as well as wild rice (carved hu) rice in turn.

Chumiao food, carved Hu's food.

Wild rice is one of the most beautiful things in the world listed in "Seven Hair".

Finally, the beautiful maid entered the side, waiting for the warm wine to be poured.

The smoke from the charcoal burnt, and the smell of wine poked my nose, like the sake brewed by the Berkshire people from the crops of wild millet.

An invitation for a feast, a meal for a meal, is so extravagant!
Zheng Pu secretly stunned.

Instead of being flattered in his heart, he also had a bad taste in his heart: if this scene was seen by the harsh law and strict administration, and by example, he persuaded the emperor and the prime minister Zhuge Liang to live in a clean and simple life, and Zhang Biao would not be relegated or used if he saw it. , will also move to the left of the remote office to be idle?
hehe~~~
I was thinking to myself, but was interrupted by Zhang Biao.

At this moment, his face was full of spring breeze, and he raised his hands to invite him, "Zijin, Xiuran, drink up!"

"Please!"

Zheng Pu also smiled happily, held the wine cup with both hands, and responded loudly.

In the splendid voice of Qinggemanwu, a cup of invitations was raised for a while, and the rounds were staggered.

You come and go with me laughing about what you have seen and heard, and a few polite words. Each of them is elegant and talented. After a while, the three of them will be intoxicated, and all of them are faintly drunk.

But he didn't want to, but he didn't see the servants coming to report, but someone walked in proudly.

This person has an extraordinary appearance, and he walks with dragon and tiger steps. He is quite powerful. He should be a person who has been in a prominent position for a long time.

As soon as he arrived, he took his place, waved his sleeves and reprimanded the kabuki music, and looked at Zhang Biao on the main seat, and said, "It's a troubled autumn in Yizhou, so An Neng wants to have fun and make this extravagant sound?"

After seeing Zheng Pu and Liu Yin sitting on both sides, his expression softened, but he couldn't calm down. When discussing knowledge with friends, or discussing strategies for the sake of society, it is right for the country! My generation should be determined, self-denying and earnest, why did Jiyue become such an extravagant music ear!"

"No! Joining the army is the instruction."

Zhang Biao, who got up in a hurry, bowed to the man, and scolded the man with a smile, "It's Biao's reckless play, and it's absurd to play, ashamed! Ashamed!"

After he finished speaking, he asked the servants at home to add another case to the top, and moved his seat to go with Liu Yin.

Zheng Pu and Liu Yin were introduced to the person after the person who was invited to take a seat. "This is Ma Jianjun from the Prime Minister's Mansion. His name is Taboo Su. He used to be the commander of Chengdu in the past. Guidance. That’s why Ma Shenjun often visits my house, and the concierge takes it for granted and doesn’t give notices.”

After explaining here, he bowed his hands to Ma Su again, "Joining the army, these two are cousins. One is Liu Yin Liu Xiuran in Chengdu; the other is Zheng Pu and Zheng Zijin in Shifang."

"I have seen Ma join the army."

"Pu has seen Ma join the army."

Of course, the two of them both bowed and bowed like Zhang Biao.

In Zheng Pu's heart, when he heard the name of Ma Su, he faintly realized.

He knew why Zhang Biao invited him.

To be precise, Ma Su was the one who entertained him.

Zhang Biao just came forward on his behalf to create an unofficial and unexpected "random encounter" for the two of them!
Because the meeting was unexpected, it was in the best interest of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

As the power center of Shu Han, the Prime Minister's Mansion naturally must maintain the authority of the mountains.It is impossible to directly summon Zheng Pu, who is white and not yet crowned.Otherwise, where are the lower state and county governments located?How do the other officers perform their duties?
However, Qin Mi was one of the leaders of Yizhou scholars, and he was also a person who served the Shuhan regime with a clear-cut stand. Since he had already implicitly recommended Zheng Pu to the Prime Minister's Mansion, he couldn't ignore it.Otherwise, don't other Yizhou scholars still in the mountains feel that the imperial court is still wary of Yizhou scholars and are unwilling to accept them?

In a dilemma, encountering unexpectedly is the best solution.

Since Qin Mi asserted that the Zheng family has a fatherly style and the ability to plan, then let Ma Su, who has been fond of military tactics since childhood, come to check it out.

If it is the case, then use the talent to raise the top and the bus to open it up.

It can not only show the court's meritocracy, but also leave no one behind the virtuous people, and it can also reassure the people of Bashu.

After all, Zheng Pu's father, Zheng Du, was a man who did not serve the late emperor for the rest of his life.However, the court ignored the past and allowed Zheng Pu to hold the top position. Why should the rest of Yizhou scholars worry about being suppressed?
And if Zheng Pucai is unusable, then let this matter go, and no one can talk about it!

That's why, when Zhang Biao introduced Zheng Pu and Liu Yin, Ma Su's smile was already like a spring breeze. After bowing his head and receiving the salute, he falsely invited the two sons to the seat, and praised the two of them without hesitation.

Immediately, he turned his attention to Zheng Pu.

Well, Liu Yin happened to be at the meeting, just as he said, it was an uninvited stray entry.

It was an accident.
