Rise From the Humble

  Chapter 850 Drinking Order

  When Concubine Lu Jing's jade body came out of the bath, the teacher appreciation banquet jointly organized by King Yu and King Jing also kicked off.

  In the "One Pool and Two Mountains" garden, the sound of the piano is eloquent, the silk and bamboo are melodious, and the singer sings the chapters in "The Book of Songs" lightly.

  There is a group of slim girls in the center of the lotus pond, dressed in white veils, dancing gracefully in the dance of picking weeds from the Book of Songs, with graceful lotus feet, undulating advances and retreats, lifting their waists lightly, spinning and flying, ringing their rings...

   This is the scene of the teacher appreciation banquet.

  The "One Pool and Two Mountains" garden is a famous garden in the capital, and it was King Jing's idea to choose this place for the master thank you banquet.

  Actually, it is said that the teacher appreciation banquet was jointly organized by King Yu and King Jing, but in fact, everyone knows that King Yu just gave it a name, and this time the teacher appreciation banquet was actually organized by King Jing alone.

  From the location selection of the teacher appreciation banquet to the dishes, decorations, and the final souvenirs, everything, big or small, was handled by King Jing himself.

  The "One Pool and Two Mountains" garden has long enjoyed a good reputation in the capital, and it is the closed work of a generation of garden master Dongfang Liang.

  One spoon replaces water, one punch replaces mountains, you can enjoy the pleasure of mountains and forests without going out of the city, and enjoy the joy of forests and springs while living in a busy city.

  This is the concept of One Pool Two Mountain Garden.

  A lively lotus pond, two rockeries with unique shapes, coupled with winding paths leading to secluded places and winding peaks, like pavilions and towers floating on the water, form the unique "one pool and two mountains" garden in this world.

  You can have a panoramic view of the flowers and plants in spring, the shade of trees in summer, the red leaves in autumn, and the snow scene in winter.

The "One Pool and Two Mountains" garden is the property of Zuixianlou. Early this morning, Zuixianlou announced that "One Pool and Two Mountains Garden" will not be open to the public. It is just to entertain King Jing's teacher appreciation banquet with all his strength. The super veteran chefs also put on their clothes one by one today, and personally cook the dishes.

  Even a master chef who was good at cooking chicken in Tongzhou was quickly invited back by Zuixianlou and handed over to King Jing and his party to cook chicken.

The singers, dancers, and musicians in the garden are all well-known nobles in the capital. They are unmanned, beautiful in color and art, and famous far and wide. The well-cultivated daughters of ordinary rich and noble families are no better than these nobles. People are talented.

  After the lecture in the morning, King Jing invited Zhu Pingan and others to the "One Pool and Two Mountains" garden, and held this teacher appreciation banquet.

  The layout of the teacher appreciation banquet is also modeled on the style of the pre-Qin period. Each person has a separate table and kneels on the table to eat.

   King Jing and King Yu are tied for the presidency, and the rest are seated according to their qualifications.

  Zhu Ping'an's seniority is the lowest, and he kneels at the last seat, and the seat in front of him is Yang Guoliang, who was shattered by Zhu Ping'an in the morning.

   During the lecture in the morning, Yang Guoliang gave another piece of "Caiwei", which won applause from the audience and saved a lot of face.

  Now there is another seat higher than Zhu Pingan.

  Yang Guoliang felt that he was superior to Zhu Ping'an, glanced at Zhu Ping'an, and raised his chin again.

   "SB!"

  Zhu Pingan took Yang Guoliang's behavior into his eyes, and silently twitched the corners of his mouth. Such delicious food is on record, you don't lower your head to eat the food, but hold your head up to eat the air.

   King Jing is very good at being a man, he persuades people to drink and add food, and takes good care of everyone at the banquet, and the banquet soon enters a good stage.

  The wine is hot, and the spirit is high.

  Drinking orders began to be issued at the banquet, and the wine was served with poems and couplets to add to the fun, pushing the banquet to one climax after another.

  Brother Liu Boqing was elected by everyone as the commander of the teacher appreciation banquet. The commander issued an order, and the others took turns to say poems or couplets.

  Master Liu has rich experience, and under his presidency, the atmosphere of the banquet was improved to a higher level.

  At the beginning of the couplets, those who fail to answer can drink alcohol, but everyone present here is an expert, and basically there are very few who fail to answer.

  In view of this, Mr. Liu changed the rules to drink only when the answer is correct.

"Everyone, stop the wine in your glass and listen to the old man's order. The wine for this banquet is a hundred-year-old wine, and I will never let you down. The old man has an upper line, and those who have the second line can drink. For those who have the second line, continue to make another one. In the first couplet, you can only drink alcohol if you are facing the superior, and by analogy, do you understand?"

  Master Liu ordered everyone at the banquet to put down their wine glasses, and said the new rule with a smile.

   "I would like to obey the order." Everyone replied with a smile.

   "The sun is in the east, the moon is in the west, and bright characters are born in the sky." Mrs. Liu pondered for a while, and wrote an upper couplet.

  This couplet is a couplet with split characters, and it has the location words of East and West, which is a relatively difficult couplet.

  After Mr. Liu published this couplet, everyone began to meditate.

   "The son is on the right, the woman is on the left, and the world deserves a good man." When everyone was still thinking, Yang Guoliang was the first to come out with the second couplet.

   "Good, Dr. Yang, please drink up this cup." Mrs. Liu praised, and poured a glass of wine for Yang Guoliang with the jug himself.

   "Colorful."

  Everyone also praised it.

   "Thank you, Mr. Liu, and thank you gentlemen for making room."

Yang Guoliang took the wine glass with both hands, drank it all in one gulp, and then turned the empty glass upside down to show everyone that he was done drinking. When he turned to Zhu Ping'an's place, he found that Zhu Ping'an was busy burying his head in the half of the plate. Grilled chicken, without even looking at myself.

   "Food bucket."

  Seeing this, Yang Guoliang curled his lips in disdain, moved his lips silently, mocking Zhu Pingan for not seeing the world.

   "Dr. Yang, please provide a couplet, and only those who answer the question can drink." Elder Liu reminded.

"I would like to obey the law. Gentlemen, please listen carefully. This couplet of mine is 'Take two rivers, line up eight formations, capture six times and capture seven times. There are forty-nine bright lights in Wuzhangyuan. I only want to pay three wishes." Yang Guoliang turned to Boss Liu The man cupped his hands, and then said his Shanglian.

This long couplet by Yang Guoliang is even more difficult than the one by Liu Boqing just now. The couplet contains one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eighty, ninety, and it describes Zhuge Liang, a famous person, who wants to fight against him and form a couplet. It is even more difficult.

  So, after Yang Guoliang published this Shanglian, everyone fell into thinking.

  Only Zhu Ping'an was still engrossed in the delicacies on the plate, as if he couldn't answer, it seemed that I simply gave up.

   This made Yang Guoliang look down on Zhu Pingan even more.

   "burp"

   While everyone was still thinking, a hiccup sound came out.

  As soon as Yang Guoliang heard this voice, Yang Guoliang knew that it must be Zhu Pingan next to him, and when he turned around, it was indeed Zhu Pingan.

  Eating too much and choking.

  Zhu Pingan smiled awkwardly at the crowd, then reached out to pick up the cup beside him, ready to drink tea to smooth his throat.

   "Zi Hou, stop now, you can only drink after you have spoken to Dr. Yang." Elder Liu sat on the seat and stopped Zhu Pingan with a smile.

   "Pingan wants to drink tea, not wine." Zhu Pingan explained embarrassedly.

   "Wine is the same, so is tea." Mrs. Liu shook his head with a smile, "I am the commander here, and the old man has the final say."
