dream of red mansion

Wang Shuirong of Beijing hurriedly stepped forward to support Liu Yong, and said: "My lord Liu is serious. My lord is celebrating his birthday. This junior should have come early, but this junior has the emperor's life in his body today. After this junior completes his errands, I will report to my lord and others." My lords, forgive me."

Saying that, without giving everyone time to be polite, he said directly:

"Master Liu accepts the order"

Chapter 9 Adding Drinks

Everyone wanted to kneel when they heard this, and Shui Rong immediately said: "The emperor said that Mr. Liu is getting old, and today is his birthday, so he specially explained that Mr. Liu can stand and receive the order."

Liu Yong didn't kneel, so naturally everyone didn't have to kneel either.

"By God, the emperor said: 'Liu Yong, the chief assistant of the cabinet, has been working hard since he was in power. He has been diligent and self-denying, and he has assisted the emperor wholeheartedly. Every time I think about it, I am grateful. Special gifts: one hundred palace brocades, ten royal horses, A set of the four treasures of the royal study.' This is it."

"Thank you, my emperor Long En!"

After receiving the imperial edict, Liu Yong will invite Shui Rong to the table.

"Master Liu is not busy, there are still things to do." Shui Rong said slowly.

besides?Everyone is puzzled.

Afterwards, several eunuchs came in carrying a plaque covered with a red curtain.

"Master Liu, please accept the plaque on your behalf." Shui Rong turned and said to Liu Boran.

"Follow the order of the prince." After finishing speaking, he walked to the front of the plaque and opened the red curtain.I saw eight big characters glittering in gold engraved on it:

Dedicated to the country and the people!

Everyone is envious, this is the real reward, the previous things are insignificant compared to these eight words.

"The old minister once again thanked the emperor for his kindness!"

......

The etiquette was finally over, and everyone hugged Shui Rong and Liu Yong back to the central pavilion.

The Liu family father and son must invite Shui Rong to sit at the top of the table, saying that he is the most respected person.

Where would Shui Rong be willing to sit, because he asked Jia Jing, "Which table is Uncle Jing sitting at?"

After Jia Jing told him, Shui Rong said: "Today is Mrs. Liu's birthday, how dare this junior dare to act presumptuously. Moreover, this junior also has a high position because of his ancestor's minor meritorious service. It is more polite to be able to sit with all your family friends and elders. An dare to be in front of you all." The elders and elders are the first, so if it spreads, doesn't it mean that there is no manners in the mansion?" Said and sat on the right table.

Everyone gave up, and Liu Yong took the first place after pleading guilty, and the rest took their seats one by one.

The wine is halfway through.

It was that brother Qin from earlier who suggested, "Just wine without poetry, wouldn't it be less flavorful?"

One person joked: "Oh, I don't know when Master Qin will compose poems?"

It made everyone laugh.

It turned out that brother Qin was called Qin Guanliang, and he was a well-known rough man.He was originally from a poor family, because he fought against the nomads in the north when he was young, and made great military exploits.Now in his 50s, he is serving as the governor of the Southern Daying Camp in the capital.He is also an imposing second-rank military officer with real power.

In the past few years as an official in Beijing, it has been relatively smooth.There was only one thing that made him quite upset.

He and Jia Jing are both military officers of the second rank, and they are in the same area of ​​the capital, but they are always overwhelmed by Jia Jing.

Jia Jing is the Jiedu Envoy of the Beijing Camp, also known as the Admiral of the Nine Gates, who is in charge of all access control, curfew, public security, and emperor's travel protection in the capital.

And as the commander of the Southern Daying Camp guarding the capital, he has nothing to do except training troops on weekdays.Occasionally he wanted to call his soldiers, and the emperor also asked him to assist through the mouth of the nine admirals...

He knew that Jia Jing had no military exploits, but was a general favored by civil servants.In the eyes of these big bosses, they don't recognize such generals.

What's even worse is that after Jia Jing resigned, he recommended another Prince Teng who was in a similar situation.

He is not satisfied.

Isn't it because the ancestors have some credit?

But he was not so stupid as to openly oppose the court's decision, he just wanted to embarrass Jia Jing at this time today.

He found out that Jia Jing taught his youngest son at home after resigning from office.

Aren't you a Jinshi?I'll let my youngest son compare with your youngest son's literary talents, and after the torture is over, I will point out that this is the pride of your talent and intelligence taught by you yourself?

Thinking of Jia Jing's expression at that time, he was already laughing in his heart...

Speaking of his youngest son, he is very proud.He hated himself for not being able to study, so he hired famous teachers for his youngest son since he was a child.It was also his son who lived up to his expectations, and was finally picked up by Fang Shou, Minister of the Ministry of Rites and a great Confucian in the literary world, and accepted as his disciple.

A few days ago, I just returned from my studies and was preparing to take the next imperial examination.

God help me too!

Not only can you export your anger, but you can also make your son famous by the way.

"I don't know how to make poems, but although I don't know how to do them, I also like such elegant things. It just so happens that there are so many heroes here for so many years, so there is no need for us old bones to appear on the stage."

I have to say that this old thing is quite good at talking, and he cleverly stated his purpose.

Everyone usually likes the old man's boldness, so it's hard to refute his opinion.Besides, what he said is reasonable.

Jia Jing also agreed, and had exactly the same intention.He didn't know that Qin Guanliang was coming for him.Even if he knew, he would probably sneer: who is afraid of who?

Seeing that everyone was unanimously interested, Liu Boran went down to make arrangements.

After a while, I saw four sets of pens, inks, papers and inkstones prepared by the servants of the fourth team of Liu's residence.One of them was sent directly to the kiosk, and the other three were sent to the surrounding area. Anyone who is interested can write and send it in.Only juniors are required to participate, and adults should not get involved.

As a result, the scene became more and more lively.

The young one was thinking hard on the side.If you have something, you can go to the pen to write it, or keep it or destroy it, and so on.

The older generation, or even the second generation, drank and laughed beside them.Occasionally, it is also interesting to see the children of one's own juniors or other people's families scratching their heads.

Two quarters of an hour later, people have already handed in manuscripts.The big shots in the pavilion were passing around the poems of the juniors while drinking.

"'The silt does not stain the clear water' is well written."

"This sentence: 'The muddy water is always hard to leave' is well written."

......

It seems that everyone knows that Liu Yong likes lotus. Although there is no limit to the topic, the first thing is about lotus.

Finally, an elder praised: "This poem is cleverly written, wonderfully written!"

Seeing that everyone was looking over, he didn't hold back, and directly handed the manuscript to Shui Rong: "My lord, please read."
