After waiting for a while, a person came up from downstairs. As soon as he saw Pang Yu, he knelt down with a bang and said, "Young man and Zhou Liu Shensi, thank you general for your great kindness."
Pang Yu looked at the man on the ground carefully and vaguely remembered that it was Liu Xiucai from Hezhou. It was at night when he met in Dangtu. He didn't see it clearly, but his voice sounded familiar.
At this time, Liu Xiucai was kowtowing seriously, and even the floor trembled slightly.
Fang Yizhi didn't expect Liu Xiucai to be like this and couldn't help but stay there. Huang Zongxi next to him snorted softly. Pang Yu didn't expect Liu Xiucai to kneel down and bow down as soon as he came up. He knew that Liu Ruogu didn't pay enough for the five hundred taels.
Instead, he is given one hundred taels per year, so Liu Xiucai still has to look at the face of the Anqing garrison. It is reasonable for him to behave like this. But this is not a Dangtu, and he is surrounded by people who have returned to society. As a person with meritorious status,
There are still some people who are discriminating against military attachés in their hearts.
The atmosphere in the room was a bit strange. I was afraid that it would be inappropriate to accept this gift calmly, so I stood up and prepared to help Liu Xiucai.
At this moment, there was a creak of the door opposite. Pang Yu looked up and saw a young woman turning out from behind the screen opposite. Her face was lightly painted with pink and white, like peach-colored fat jade, and her hair on her temples was as long as clouds.
The hem of her skirt was dragged to the ground. She moved lightly to Liu Xiucai's side. After attracting everyone's attention, she slowly saluted, "It turns out to be General Pang of the Anqing garrison who is a powerful bandit. Gu Mei came late to dress up. It's polite here."
.”
After she said this, she made a blessing, and Pang Yu quickly returned the gift, but Gu Mei didn't wait for him to speak and said again, "Yingtian Governor Zhang Duye took precautions against the enemy and mobilized Anqing's garrison camp thousands of miles to rescue Jiangnan. We, the people of Jiangnan, are all the same."
grateful."
Everyone in the room nodded in agreement, and she carried Zhang Guowei out. Naturally, Pang Yu did not dare to disagree.
Gu's eyes flashed, and everyone met, and then turned to Liu Xiucai, who was looking up at him on the ground, "Young Master Liu is a talented person who has returned to society. If you survive this time, you will definitely have good luck in the future. I wish you all the best."
Mr. Liu will rise to prominence one day, and he will definitely be able to revive ancient learning, strategize like Mr. Zhang, and become a useful pillar of the imperial court."
Huang Zongxi shouted "Hello", Gu Mei lifted both Fushe and Mr. Liu very high, but Pang Yu froze in place, unable to help Mr. Liu, and even Mr. Liu didn't know what to do.
Gu Mei gently stretched out her hand, and Mr. Liu stood up blankly. After Gu Mei sent him to his seat, he sat generously on the right side of Pang Yu.
From the time Gu Mei left home until now, no one has interrupted. Gu Mei is controlling the situation. Even Pang Yu doesn't know what to say, but it did resolve some of the embarrassment just now. Pang Yu thinks it is very appropriate.
Fang Yizhi clapped his hands and said, "I would like to introduce you to General Pang. This is Fairy Hengbo. Not only is she good at music, she is also a master of poetry and painting. Among them, orchids are second to none. General Pang has just seen the paintings in the building.
They are all handwritten by Hengbo."
Pang Yu quickly agreed, half of the paintings he just saw were orchids, and they were indeed good paintings, but Pang Yu himself didn't know much about painting. Whether it was Chinese painting, gongbi painting or oil painting, he could only look at the superficial skills. He had to say
He couldn't tell where the painting was good.
Gu Mei pursed her lips and smiled slightly. She rolled her eyes at Fang Yizhi and said, "All the talented people who have returned to society are sitting here. Mr. Fang is so complimentary, but it is embarrassing. Then he said about the orchid painting. There are many girls on the Qinhuai River who are better than those from the slave family.
Yes, I wonder if Mr. Fang also said the same thing in the old courtyard."
Sun Lin and Jiang Chen made a fuss at the same time, both accusing Fang Yizhi of saying the same thing everywhere. Huang Zongxi just smiled and waved his beard, and the banquet became lively for a while.
Fang Yizhi smiled and said, "Fairy Hengbo, please don't listen to the nonsense of these two people. What I'm saying is all true. The last time I was able to listen to the rhythm of Hengbo, the lingering sound lingers in my mind and I can't forget it for a long time."
Jiang Chen laughed and said, "No wonder Mi Zhi has been distracted recently. It turns out that he has become an idiot because of this."
Everyone agreed, and Fang Yizhi did not refute. He laughed twice and said, "It just so happens that General Pang is returning home from a bloody battle. He will not hesitate to take away Mr. Gu's banquet and treat General Pang to his ears."
Gu Hengbo glanced at Pang Yu, and Pang Yu felt that Gu Mei's eyes were very lively, as if there was light flowing in the water, but it was not particularly attractive, so he smiled and nodded.
Gu Mei looked at Pang Yu for a while and then said, "Young Master Fang's instructions, the slave family must abide by it. However, the banquet is just about to start. How can we not miss the wine to help us enjoy it? Why don't we go on a few rounds of wine first to make it more lively."
Fang Yizhi was obviously very good at this kind of drinking game, and his face was full of excitement, "It will be like last time, one word for the name of the domino, two for the domino name, plus the sentence "West Chamber"."
Gu Mei turned her head to look at Pang Yu and said, "Although General Pang is a handsome prisoner and a soldier, he is better at martial arts in the army and is not as good as a more secular drinker. I don't know what General Pang thinks."
Jiang Chen immediately loudly agreed. Pang Yu felt something was wrong. On the surface, Gu Mei's words were to take care of him, but inside and outside, they seemed to be mocking his own lack of education. But what was irritating was that he really didn't dare to speak loudly.
The previous drinking order consisted of one word tile and two dominoes. He seemed to have seen this drinking order somewhere, but he really couldn't answer it. It would be even more embarrassing if he promised rashly and couldn't answer it after a while.
At that moment, he could only say, "Just listen to Miss Gu."
Fang Yizhi clapped his hands and said, "Then please give the order to Fairy Hengbo."
Gu Mei raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "Then let's make a customary order. Divide one word into two identical words, and then say three common sayings, which must rhyme up and down. If you can't say it, drink three big cups. That's it.
Young Master is the master, so just follow Young Master Fang's orders."
"Very good." Fang Yizhi paused for a moment and had already thought about it. He patted the table and said, "A forest has two trees, one color and two oars and oars. Which wood is used for the oar and which wood is used for the oar."
Everyone else in the banquet shouted "Hello", and Gu Mei looked at Pang Yu, "General Pang is the guest of honor. The first patrol will pick you up, so please pick up the second one."
When Pang Yu came to this Ming Dynasty, he drank most of his drinking with the merchants. Ruan Dacheng and others liked to sing operas, but they didn't practice much drinking. This was the first time to play this kind of literati drinking. Before he understood the rules, he was already there.
in front of him.
He recalled Fang Yizhi's drinking order, which was to use the same radical word, split it into three sentences, the logic should be reasonable, and the last sentence should rhyme, but he couldn't think of anything similar at the moment.
Just as he was thinking about it carefully, Gu Mei said next to him, "If the general can't do it, he doesn't have to drink it. After all, the general is a warrior. It's not normal to play with words like this."
Pang Yu felt more and more strange after listening to it. Gu Mei's words sounded pleasant on the surface, but they all had different meanings. Today, she was the guest of honor, so why didn't Gu Mei take care of her at all?
But he really couldn't think of it for a while. It was better to admit defeat than to cheat, so he waved his hand and said, "I can't help but accept these three glasses of wine. It's time for Fairy Hengbo."
Gu Mei pursed her lips and smiled, then Tan opened her mouth and said softly, "Two people are usually stupid and stupid. I don't know which one is stupid and which one is stupid."
Everyone in the banquet burst into laughter, and Fang Yizhi was also laughing over there, but Pang Yu officially confirmed that this woman was targeting him. Gu Mei's order was a bit sarcastic. There must be some difference between idiot and stupid, because Jiang Chen said it just now
Fang Yizhi is a fool. Among the first two people who gave orders, Fang Yizhi naturally took the title of fool. He didn't know it right, so he obviously took the title of stupid.
Pang Yu had a smile on her face, but although she was not angry in her heart, she felt a little strange. When Gu Mei came, her words were not all flattering to her, and she didn't know when she had offended this woman.
Next in order is Huang Zongxi, who "has two mouths with the word "LV", and two mouths with the same color, water and wine. I don't know which mouth is for drinking water and which mouth for drinking."
Pang Yu listened to others receiving orders and thought about it. At this time, he could think of a few orders. Even if he didn't have a work certificate, he could still handle them. However, he was urged by Gu Mei just now, so he didn't have time to think of them.
Several other people also said their drinking orders. After a round, only Pang Yu didn't say it. Pang Yu had to admit defeat and poured himself a large glass. Gu Mei next to him took the wine flask, filled the wine glass, and poured the wine.
His craftsmanship was very good, and the wine surface was slightly higher than the rim of the cup, but it did not flow down. Sun Lin and others cheered loudly, fearing that the world would not be in chaos.
Among them, Jiang Chen was the most interested. Everyone at the table could hear that Gu Mei was sarcastic about Pang Yu. Liu Xiucai buried his head in silence. Wu Yingji was a little unhappy. Others pretended not to know. Only Jiang Chen looked gloating.
The alcohol content of Ming Dynasty wine was not high, but what he drank today was not rice wine. Pang Yu took a sip and found that it was probably about ten degrees. Three large glasses of it were stronger than beer. Seeing Gu Mei acting like this, she wanted to make a fool of herself by drinking too much, but
Pang Yu's drinking capacity was beyond Gu Mei's imagination.
After all, it was still winter. After drinking three cups, Pang Yu's stomach felt cold. He felt a little angry and more confused. After all, he saw Gu Mei for the first time today.
Taking advantage of this little effort, Pang Yu thought of two pairs. Although they were not enough to counterattack Gu Mei, she still had some confidence in her heart.
Just as he was waiting for Fang Yizhi to come back, he heard Gu Mei say, "A drinking tour only makes the fun lively. How about doing "The Romance of the West Chamber" instead this time?"
Pang Yu couldn't help but be stunned. Fang Yizhi looked at Pang Yu and hesitated for a moment, then clapped his hands and said, "Of course the drinking order should be a bit interesting. If you win the call, you will drink it yourself."
Gu Hengbo shook his head slightly and said, "If you win, you will drink. Then everyone will call to a small place. How about calling the next person to come and drink."
Sun Lin, who was on the right, slapped the table and said, "It's very good. Sun was so happy that he shouted loudly."
Li Ping'er from behind brought a dice and a porcelain bowl, and when he was about to give them to Fang Yizhi, Gu Mei waved them over, and the other party Yizhi said, "Master Fang has made his first inspection, and the second inspection will be done by Mr. Fang."
It’s a good idea for me to give the order, and just turn around, and General Pang will take the second one.”
When Gu Mei said this, she paused and said, "If you can't give the order, you will be fined six more cups."
Pang Yu had a headache, Gu Mei was still targeting herself, and what she had just prepared was in vain, but she quickly searched in her head, and seemed to have seen this in Jin Ping Mei, and she was so focused on the memories that she didn't even listen to what Gu Mei said.
Gu Mei looked at Pang Yu intently for a moment, then said softly, "Zhang Sheng arrived at Depuji Temple. There are a few words on the plaque, five small characters and six big characters."
After saying that, he let go of his right hand, and the dice fell into the porcelain bowl and bounced with a continuous bang. When it stopped, it turned out to be five. The whole room burst into laughter, and Pang Yu was stunned. This was the five bowls. What a shame was that he had not yet
Fazi fought back, because even if he succeeded in shouting, he could only drink Jia Fang Yizhi's wine as a penalty.
He could only put on a look of acceptance on his face, and he drank the five large glasses generously. His stomach was full of wine for a while, and he almost burped. After resisting the urge to burp, he remembered that he still had to give orders.
.
The next person was Fang Yizhi. Pang Yu had no interest in dealing with him, but he had to call the drinking order, otherwise he would still have to drink six drinks. He took the dice and the porcelain bowl and was about to throw them away when he felt someone watching him and looked back.
It was Li Ping'er, with some concern in her eyes.
Pang Yu had already recalled a sentence, and smiled at Li Ping'er confidently, then looked back at Gu Mei and said, "Thank you Hong'er for helping me get into bed. When will it be?"
The dice was thrown down casually, but it turned out to be a three. Pang Yu had practiced dice when he opened Baishun Hall, and it was a common tool for him to kill time when he was bored. There was nothing weird in this dice, but the weight was a little different from usual. Gu Mei should be very familiar with it.
The probability of hitting the ball must be very high. Pang Yu has a lot of experience and can roughly grasp the points. He didn't want Fang Yizhi to drink, so he deliberately missed the ball this time.
Fang Yizhi breathed a sigh of relief, and when he took the dice, Gu Mei chuckled and said, "General Pang memorized Count Ying's pairs so well, I guess he also has to study on weekdays."
Pang Yu's words were in response to the earl's drinking order from Jin Ping Mei. Gu Mei was mocking him for plagiarizing, but Pang Yu cupped her hands without getting angry and said, "It turns out that Fairy Hengbo is also a member of the same hobby."
This means that Gu Mei also likes to look at Jin Ping Mei. Gu Mei's face turned slightly red. Sun Lin burst out laughing, and even Jiang Chen couldn't help it.
Fang Yizhi suppressed his laughter and called for a drink. After completing the circle, everyone could pick up the customary order. Sun Lin and Huang Zongxi were called to hit the count respectively, and each drank two or three drinks.
But the one who drank the most at the banquet was Pang Yu. He had already drank eight glasses. Because he didn't have time to eat, he was a little drunk and took advantage of the order to eat two pieces of meat. It's a shame that everything in Meilou is exquisite.
Even the meat is in small pieces.
On the next tour, Gu Mei was holding the dice and was about to say a new drinking order. Liu Xiucai, who was at the head, suddenly said, "We can enjoy the order in Qinhuai today because General Pang drove away the thieves in a bloody battle, and the river in the south of the Yangtze River can be clear."
Haiyan, please ask General Pang to issue an order, and use the theme of chasing the bandits from Jiangbei as the theme. It is not only lively but also in line with the purpose of today's banquet with General Pang."
Before Fang Yizhi could speak, Wu Yingji and He Houming both agreed loudly, and then Sun Lin also agreed. Pang Yu got this opportunity and glanced at Liu Shensi appreciatively. Faced with this unprovoked hostility several times, Pang Yu felt angry in his heart.
Gradually accumulating, he immediately responded and reached out to take the dice in Gu Mei's hand.
The atmosphere in the banquet was such that Gu Mei had no choice but to give it to Pang Yu. Now it was Pang Yu's turn to give the order. Pang Yu had the final say on the format. According to the order, it should be reversed. It was Gu Mei who was at the next house.
Pang Yu put the porcelain bowl behind him and only threw the dice. He was not going to use the porcelain bowl because he was more familiar with tabletop dice. Compared with the usual, this porcelain bowl had a slightly different angle, so it was easier to control when throwing it on the table.
He turned to Li Ping'er and said, "Such a dice makes it less fun, so you drink less down there, and you don't taste the taste. Just drink it to your heart's content. Please give Miss Li another dice, and let's add more excitement."
Li Ping'er was a little hesitant, but Sun Lin and Wu Yingji both made noises, so he had to take it and give it to Pang Yu.
"It's better to hit the mark and drink at home. Please follow the order just now and ask the fairy to take the second order." Pang Yu first clarified the rules to prevent Gu Mei from cheating. After saying this, he didn't look at Gu Mei's expression. It didn't sound right to him.
Well, Pang Yu was already a little drunk at this time. This woman's unreasonable hostility made him angrier and angrier. He weighed the two dice in his hands, felt for a while and then said, "One battalion of ten
One round and twelve flags, six days and a thousand miles, seven battles and eight thieves, nine out of ten are sure."
There was silence in the table. Everyone could see that Gu Mei was targeting Pang Yu. Now Pang Yu obviously wanted to take revenge on Gu Mei. The smallest number was one, but there were two dice, so it couldn't be one. All other big numbers were called.
, as long as one of them is thrown, it will be enough for Gu Mei to drink.
Next, it was time to see how many hits Pang Yu could throw. Everyone was attentive. He Houming and others who were far away stood up. Pang Yu took a deep breath, and the two dice fell to the table at the same time, and they started to beat.
