Back to Daqin to be Emperor

Chapter 188 Banquet
As night fell, Fusu's house had now been set up as a banquet venue.

One by one, servants and maids shuttled back and forth in front of the hall.

Dozens of musical instruments were also brought in and arranged behind screens.

There are also singers and musicians preparing in the back room.

Fusu wiped the sweat from his forehead slightly, and felt that in the world before BC, the effort required to hold a banquet was too cumbersome!

But one step cannot be omitted, and one step cannot be wrong.Otherwise, it is impolite.Since ancient times, China has prided itself on being a land of rites and music. Even though the Great Qin had overwhelmed the world with its soldiers, these were still indispensable in the end.

Because, after all, Daqin is a member of Zhuxia, not those barbarian tribes outside the Great Wall, who don't understand etiquette and don't understand the place of kingship.

Although the Great Qin ruled in the western corner of the world, it never gave up its identity as Zhuxia. It was only in the blood and fire fights with the Rong and Di people that it gained a foothold here. For this reason, the four kingdoms of Qin Generations of kings died in the war one after another.

Among them, Qin never forgot to go east. At the time of Duke Mu, Qin intended to go east to compete with other countries. Unfortunately, the battle of Weihan completely damaged Qin, and he no longer wanted to go east.

Afterwards, it was the Shang Yang Reform in the period of Qin Xiaogong, the strategy of going east in the period of King Huiwen, and the complete rise in the period of King Zhaoxiang. Finally, the Great Qin wiped out the six kingdoms with irresistible momentum in the hands of the first emperor. , a unified world.

Looking back at the history of the struggles of the monarchs, ministers and common people in the past dynasties of Qin, Fusu still felt his blood surge.

Since nightfall, the first guest to come to the Fusu mansion was Zhang Han, the commander of the Shaofu. Zhang Han bowed and said: "My lord, Zhang Han prepared a little gift to carry it out for you. I wish you a smooth trip. .”

"Thank you." Fusu stepped forward and said, "Please also invite Duke Han to enter..."

After Zhang Han, another group of horse-drawn carriages drove towards him, and Fu Su rushed forward to meet him.

It was Meng Yi who came. Meng Yi stepped out of the carriage and hurriedly said: "I heard that you are traveling far away, I can't do anything for you, but I can only prepare a little gift to show my heart."

As he spoke, a retainer walked in with a gift box in his hand.

The people who came next were a little strange, they were Fusu's "brothers". To be honest, until now, Fusu still couldn't recognize his 22 brothers. As for the family relationship, it was even weaker.

To some extent, these people are actually their own competitors.This sentence is not a lie, because the matriarchal forces behind my brothers are often the six kingdoms of Shandong. In order to win the hearts of the people, there are naturally many princesses from the six kingdoms of Shandong in Yingzheng's harem, and these people are also the product of political marriages .

After Fusu crossed over, he had also carefully investigated who his mother was. In the memory of the original owner, there were only some fragmented fragments of it. It seemed that after he was seven or eight years old, Fusu had never seen his mother again.

However, the result of the secret visit was that everyone kept secret about it, and refused to reveal even a word.This made Fusu even more puzzled, and secretly sighed if he had touched some taboo topic.

After welcoming his brothers into the house, Fusu continued to greet the guests outside the door.

The people who arrived next were nothing more than some eunuchs in the court, as well as Jiuqing and Liehou in Xianyang.

Guests came one after another, and Ying Zheng also sent eunuchs to bring a hundred gold as a gift.

After waiting for a while, Fusu saw a car approaching, and Fusu recognized that it was Li Si's car.

With the support of his son Li Zhan, Li Si walked in front of Fusu, Fusu bowed and said, "The prime minister is here, I am sorry to welcome you."

Li Si smiled and said, "My lord, I will leave the matter of Nanchu Jiujiang County to my lord."

Li Si waved his hand and said: "The old minister is old, so he won't be with you young people. This small gift is prepared by the old minister for the young master, so I hope you don't dislike it." After speaking, someone behind him presented the gift.

"Thank you, Prime Minister, for your hospitality."

Indeed, in the past, Li Si and Fu Su were in the same situation, but now, it is not easy for Li Si to come.

Watching Li Si's car disappear at the end of the quiet street, Fu Su was stunned.

"Young Master." One person walked to Fusu's side and said, "The guests are all waiting..."

"Understood!" Fusu came back to his senses and walked towards the living room.

At this time, Fusu's mansion was completely brightly lit, oil lamps illuminated Fusu's mansion brightly, like daytime.

In the kitchen, the fire was licking the bottom of the cauldron, which was filled with all kinds of meat such as chicken, duck and fish. For a moment, the whole mansion was filled with the smell of meat.

Hundreds of altars of fine wine have also been unsealed, and the maids delivered these fine wines to the guests.

In the center of the living room, the sound of silk, bamboo and wind music is playing together, and many dancers are dancing.

Seeing this, Fu Su nodded slightly, obviously so far, nothing has happened.Fusu stepped into the living room.

"My lord..." All of a sudden, many officials and nobles stood up and toasted.

Only Meng Yi and Zhang Han, the staunch allies of Fusu, sat in their seats, but they also bowed slightly to pay tribute.

Fusu greeted all the way, walked in front of the chief seat, clapped his hands, and immediately stopped singing and dancing.

Many dancers bowed profusely before slowly retreating behind the screen.

Fusu picked up the wine bottle, stood up, and said: "Thanks to everyone for not giving up, and coming here, Fusu is sincerely apprehensive, and I would like to respect you with this cup."

After speaking, he drank the fine wine in the wine bottle.

Everyone also stood up one after another, picked up the wine bottles in front of them, and raised their glasses to Fusu: "Young master!"

Then they covered their sleeves and drank.

Behind the screen, the singing sounded again, and in the hall, the dancers danced lightly.After dancing to a song, the entire Fusu mansion was filled with joyous atmosphere.

As the organizer of this banquet, Fusu naturally went to toast with wine bottles, table by table.Naturally, it is impossible to drink a full bottle of wine at every table. For people who are not very familiar with each other, it is often just a taste.

The so-called one side's water and soil support one side's people, because of the different regions, it often creates different styles of wine in different places.

In the northern land of Yanzhao, a place of bitter cold, the wine is imported like a knife and pierced like fire.Wuyue is a land of fish and rice, and its wines are clear and long-lasting.

As for Fusu's banquet this time, it was naturally Qin wine, just like the character of Qin people, Qin wine may not be aware of it when he first tastes it, but then it has great strength.

After a round of toasting, Fusu was also a little drunk. Fortunately, the alcohol was not very strong at this time, so Fusu could barely hold on.

If you play distilled alcohol or something like that at this time, you will probably lose everything.Because the wine drunk by the nobles and bureaucrats in the upper class is precisely this kind of wine, the wine after distillation will not be accepted by the nobles.
