Chapter 188 Banquet
As night falls slowly, Fusu's house has now been decorated as a banquet venue.
One by one, the servants and maids shuttled back and forth in front of the hall.
Dozens of musical instruments were also brought in and arranged behind the screen.
There is also a singer and musician preparing in the back room.
Fusu wiped the sweat from his forehead slightly and felt that in the BC world, it was too cumbersome to hold a banquet!
But one step cannot be omitted, and one step cannot be wrong. Otherwise, it would be a rude. Since ancient times, China has claimed to be a country of rituals and music. Although the Qin Dynasty prevails the world with its military power, these are still indispensable things in the end.
Because, after all, the Great Qin was a member of the Xia, not the barbarian tribes outside the Great Wall, who did not comply with etiquette and did not understand the place of kingdom.
Although the Qin Dynasty occupied the western corners of the world, it had never given up its identity as Zhuxia. It had just stood firm here in the battle of blood and fire with the Rongdi people. For this reason, four generations of kings of Qin died in war one after another.
Among them, Qin never forgot to go east. When Duke Mu was about to go east, Qin intended to go east to compete with the countries. Unfortunately, the battle of Wuhan completely damaged Qin and no longer had the idea of going east.
Then came Shang Yang's reforms during the Qin Dynasty. In the period of King Huiwen, the strategy of going eastward and the period of King Zhaoxiang, the Qin Dynasty finally wiped out the six countries and unified the world with irresistible momentum in the hands of Emperor Qin.
Looking back at the history of the struggle of the monarchs and ministers of the Qin State in history, Fusu still feels passionate.
Since nightfall, the first guest to come to Fusu Mansion was the Shaofu Order Zhang Han. Zhang Han bowed and said, "Young Master, Zhang Han prepares a brief e-lei for you to practice it for you. I wish you a smooth trip."
"Thank you." Fusu walked forward and said, "Please also ask Mr. Han to come in..."
After Zhang Han, another team of carriages came towards him, and Fusu quickly came forward.
The person who came was Meng Yi. Meng Yi stepped off the carriage and hurriedly said, "I heard that the young master is traveling far away. I cannot do more for the young master. I can only prepare a little gift to express my feelings."
As he said that, a retainer walked in with a gift box.
The person who came next was a little strange, which was the "brothers" of Fusu. To be honest, until now, Fusu still couldn't recognize his twenty-two brothers, and as for family affection, it was even more indifferent.
To a certain extent, these people are actually their own competitors. This sentence is not a false statement, because the matriarchal forces behind these brothers are often the six Shandong countries. In order to win people's hearts, Ying Zheng's harem naturally has princesses from the six Shandong countries, and these people are the products of political marriage.
After Fusu traveled through time, he also carefully checked who his mother was. In the original owner's memory, there were only some fragmented fragments of this. It seemed that after he was seven or eight years old, Fusu had never seen his mother again.
The result of the secret visit was that everyone was so secretive about it that he refused to even reveal a word. This made Fusu feel even more confused and sighed in his heart whether he had touched any taboo topic.
He welcomed his brothers into the house, and Fusu continued to welcome the guests outside the door.
The people who came next were just some eunuchs in the palace, as well as nine ministers and marquises in Xianyang.
Guests came one after another, and Ying Zheng also sent eunuchs to send 100 gold as a gift.
After waiting for a few more hours, Fusu saw a car coming, and Fusu recognized it. It was Li Si's car driver.
With the help of his son Li Zhan, Li Si walked to Fusu, and Fusu bowed and said, "The Prime Minister is here, and he is in a hurry to welcome him."
Li Si smiled and said, "Young Master, please ask the young master for the affairs of Jiujiang County, Nanchu."
Li Si waved his hand and said, "The old minister is old, so I won't go with you young people. This gift was prepared by the old minister for the young master, so I hope you don't dislike it." As he said that, someone from behind him presented the gift.
"Thank you for your kindness, Prime Minister."
Indeed, Li Si and Fusu were once in the same situation, but now it is not easy for Li Si to come.
Looking at Li Si's car disappearing at the end of the quiet street, Fusu was stunned.
"Young Master." One person walked to Fusu and said, "The guests are waiting..."
"I understand!" Fusu came to his senses and walked towards the living room.
At this time, the lights of Fusu's mansion were completely turned on, and oil lamps illuminated Fusu's mansion, just like daytime.
In the kitchen, the fire licked the bottom of the cauldron. The cauldron was filled with meat such as chicken, duck, fish and meat. For a moment, the aroma of meat was wafting everywhere in the entire mansion.
Hundreds of jars of fine wine have also been opened, and the maids have delivered these fine wines to the guests.
In the center of the living room, the sound of silk and bamboo wind music sounded together, and many dancers danced.
Seeing this, Fusu nodded slightly. Obviously, there has been no trouble so far. Fusu walked into the living room.
"Young Master..." For a moment, many officials and nobles stood up and raised their glasses to greet them.
Only Fusu's die-hard allies like Meng Yi and Zhang Han sat in their seats, but they also bowed slightly to express their tribute.
Fusu greeted him all the way, walked to the main seat, clapped his hands, and immediately stopped singing and dancing.
After many dancers bowed, they slowly retreated behind the screen.
Fusu picked up the wine bottle, stood up, and said, "For you, you are here, Fusu is so worried and terrified that he would like to honor all the lords with this cup."
After saying that, he drank the fine wine in the wine bottle in one go.
Everyone also stood up one after another, picked up the wine bottle in front of them, raised their glasses to Fusu and said, "To the young master!"
Then they covered their sleeves and drank.
After the screen, the singing started again, and the dancers danced gracefully in the hall. After the dance, the entire Fusu mansion was filled with a joyful atmosphere.
As the organizer of this banquet, Fusu naturally brought wine bottles and toasted them one by one. Naturally, it is impossible for each table to drink a full bottle of wine. For those who are not familiar with each other, they often try it out casually.
The so-called "land and land" nourish the people, because of different regions, they often create different styles of fine wines in various places.
In the northern part of Yan and Zhao, where the bitter and cold place is, the wine is imported like a knife and penetrates the belly like fire. Wu and Yue are the hometown of fish and rice, and the wine is clear and long. The people of Qi and Lu are simple and honest, and the wine is tasted high and upright, Chu wine is sweet and glutinous.
The banquet at Fusu was naturally Qin wine. Just like the Qin people's personality, they might not realize it when they first entered the mouth, but then they had great strength.
After a round of toast, Fusu was a little drunk. Fortunately, the wine level was not very high at this time, and Fusu could barely hold on.
