Chapter 124 Celebration Banquet
The news of the Ming army's recovery of Shuangyu Island reached Dinghai County, and the county magistrate He Renji was very surprised.
After all, compared with other counties in Ningbo Prefecture, Dinghai County is most threatened by Shuangyu Island.
These pirates often plunder the coast, and the people of Dinghai County suffered a lot.
Now that the Governor has made great contributions to the entire battle, he has completely solved the hidden dangers. How can he not be happy?
He immediately ordered people to prepare for the celebration banquet.
The candidates for the welcoming banquet were his primary consideration. In addition to the civil and military officials of Dinghai County, representatives of local gentry and scholars must also be selected to ensure the grandeur of the celebration banquet.
He Rendi's ex was remembered by the Governor because of a reception banquet. Such a good example was placed in front of him, and He Rendi could copy it.
Of course, there is one person who will definitely invite him, and that is Xu Yan.
As a friend of the Governor, Xu Yan is obviously very important.
With Xu Yan at the celebration banquet, County Magistrate He felt confident.
What made County Magistrate He feel relieved was that Xu Yan accepted his invitation happily.
After the matter was prepared, County Magistrate He took everyone out of the city to welcome the Governor General for the triumphant victory.
After waiting for about half an hour, everyone saw a fleet of ships sailing from afar.
This fleet is very large, and it is as huge as thousands of sails and boats.
From a distance, the Ming army navy formed a square formation, and the flagship where Zhu Wan was located was in the center.
This momentum alone is amazing.
As the Ming naval ships docked on the shore one after another, Zhu Wan and Lu Tong walked off the ship one after another.
County Magistrate He, who had been brewing for a long time, had practiced countless times, bowed to him.
"The magistrate of Dinghai County, He Rendi, welcomes the master of the tribe and sincerely congratulates the master of the tribe and the tribe and the master of the tribe and the islands to win the great victory!"
"Please get up, he Magistrate He."
Zhu Wan was in a good mood and raised her hand to signal He Rendi to get up.
"Thank you, Lord Budang!"
County Magistrate He stood up and said respectfully: "The emperor has prepared a banquet, so he also asked the master of the ministry to move."
Zhu Wan nodded and walked in front without hesitation.
...
...
The celebration banquet is naturally at Lanyue Tower.
Dinghai County is not as big as Suzhou and Hangzhou. There are not many big restaurants at all, so County Magistrate He really has few choices.
In order to prepare for this celebration banquet, he racked his brains.
All officials, representatives of gentry, and scholars strictly divided the banquet areas according to their status.
Those who were able to go to the top pavilion on the third floor were Zhu Wan's confidants. As for Dinghai County, there were only Magistrate He and Xu Yan.
As for the celebration banquet, we naturally have to make the atmosphere warmer.
After Zhu Wan's speech, County Magistrate He ordered the musician to play.
Xu Yan sat on the right side of Zhu Wan, closer to Zhu Wan than County Magistrate He.
Seeing that the atmosphere was almost brewing, he recited a poem to cheer him up:
"Jiaochuan was very happy when he saw the king, and a man with a tiger beard and a monkey's arm.
A three-foot carved bow with a spear, and a Japanese slave under his eyes is like a ants.
A smile makes me feel unrest, and I tell you how to tell you how to live and die in my heart.
At every moment, the sergeant boats carried the left priests, and hundreds of prisoners were offered every year.
If you have great achievements and your body is dangerous, you will be like this. If you have slander, you can really turn white and black.
The king and the minister are wise and the sun and the moon are hanging, and the slander also cares about others' words.
The great honors were in great prosperity, and the heroic arc was still on Rongxuan.
Now you are in the town of Langshan, where are the clouds and dragons chasing each other?
The spring breeze is not allowed to be carried away from the cup, and I can also give it to you in the short song.
It’s not accidental to fall into the ground with you, but it’s a big world that is full of legs.
At one time, a man had no other body, and he was worried about his daily worries.
In the old days, I work hard together, and autumn chess is better than the endgame.
The rocks on Yanran Mountain are a pity that there is no one in modern times.
I met you and the vast sea, and look back at the Beidou in Nanguan.
If you succeed, you will thank the Mingzhu, otherwise the prince will be idle."
After reciting a long poem, the whole seat was filled with admiration.
"What a saying, 'The three-foot carved bow and eight spears, the Japanese slaves at the bottom of their eyes are like ants' ants'. Isn't this what Lu Tang and Lu Commander?"
"A smile makes me feel unrestrained, and I tell you how to pass on my heart. This is to show that the feelings of the robe are greater than everything."
"The boats of the sacred boats are carrying the left priests every year. This means that we can achieve such a great victory every year."
During the meal, everyone was talking, but Zhu Wan noticed a few other sentences.
If you have great achievements and your body is dangerous, you will be like this. If you have slander, you can really turn white and black.
The king and the minister are wise and the sun and the moon are hanging, and the slander also cares about others' words.
Since ancient times, there have been a saying that he has made great contributions to the master. However, treacherous villains often take the opportunity to slander the emperor, and confuse the black and white to frame the loyal and good people.
Although the king and the father are wise, they will inevitably be blinded and the audio-visual will be blinded.
Although this is generally a celebration poem, Xu Yan still reminded Zhu Wan in it, that is, he was careful of the jealous and slanderous people and slandering the emperor.
This not only did not make Zhu Wan angry, but instead gave rise to many feelings.
From any angle, Dapo Shuangyu Island is a thing worth celebrating. Even Zhu Wan herself is a little proud and inflamed.
At this time, these two lines of Xu Yan's poem awakened him.
This matter is certainly worthy of celebration, but we must be wary and never take advantage of the loopholes by the treacherous and slanderous people.
It can be seen that Xu Yan is really doing his best, otherwise he would not have risked the troubles of reminding him in the poem.
Zhu Wan raised her wine glass and smiled at Xu Yan, "When I go, drink this cup with me."
For a moment, all eyes fell on Xu Yan, envy and jealousy.
Xu Yan quickly raised his cup and drank it all.
"Mr. Master, the students are willing to write a few more short poems to cheer you up."
"oh?"
Zhu Wan was obviously very interested. He has always been very happy with Xu Yan's poems, but now he has the opportunity to do so.
He nodded slightly as acquiescent.
Xu Yan brewed his emotions and said in a harmonious voice: "Students will write a poem if they drink a glass of wine. That cup just now doesn't count, start with this cup."
After saying that, he poured himself a cup of wine and poured it on his neck.
"The short sword surrounded the gun and the cold wind blew blood and flew.
Looking up to the road, I looked back at the return cavalry, and there was a red cavalry cold iron cloak."
After the poem was finished, Xu Yan lit the bottom of the cup to everyone, and then poured another cup full.
"The red oil painting halberd is green in the valley, and the golden beads are gone.
The cold rain and strong winds are several times in spring, and who can tell who will pick up the words today."
After another cup, Xu Yan chanted:
"There is no head and body to guess, and the soul on the left is crying and the body on the right is crying.
Feng Jiang Lao translated the words, and he dared to come again in this place."
After that, he drank two cups in a row and wrote two poems in a row:
"The flag is covered with gold sores and broken into the north wind, and there is Duke Zhu in the army.
We also teach you to sleep in the camp stove and feed iron tests to the square trough.”
"The evil girl is worried about the evil body and paints a pill, and her husband personally teaches her that she will not sew a shirt.
Today, I die to China, and I still look up at the sea sails on Asu."
Drinking five glasses of wine and writing five poems. Xu Yan was already drunk and chanted half drunk and half awake:
"The two banners are spreading across the sea, and the smoke is low to protect the wild people's house.
Who brings the spring scenery to the end of the house? The wind in the sky brings short eggplant?
The Qin Dynasty stones still exist when the water falls, and the Han Dynasty rafts are not seen when the tide comes.
I know that hundreds of countries are in a vast distance, but I dare not forget the danger of losing my life."
