Rise From the Humble

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 music of the piano melodious, the strings and bamboos melodious, and the singing girl sang chapters from the "Book of Songs" gracefully.

In the center of the lotus pond, there is a group of slender girls, dressed in white gauze, dancing the dance of picking weeds from "The Book of Songs" with elegant steps. Their lotus feet are dancing, ups and downs, lowering their waists, lightly lifting them, spinning and flying, and their rings ringing...

This is the scene of the teacher appreciation banquet.

The "One Pond and Two Mountains" garden is a famous garden in the capital. It was King Jing's idea to choose this place for the thank you ceremony.

In fact, the teacher-appreciation banquet was said to be jointly organized by King Yu and King Jing, but in fact everyone knew that King Yu only had a name, and the teacher-appreciation banquet was actually hosted by King Jing.

From the location selection of the thank-you banquet to the dishes, decoration and souvenirs, everything was handled by King Jing single-handedly.

The "One Pond and Two Mountains" garden has long been famous in the capital and is the last work of a generation of garden master Dongfang Liang.

A spoon can replace water, a fist can replace mountains, you can enjoy the joy of mountains and forests without leaving the city walls, and you can enjoy the joy of forests and springs while living in a busy city.

This is the concept of one pond and two mountain gardens.

A lively lotus pond, two rockeries with unique shapes, coupled with winding paths and winding peaks, like pavilions and pavilions floating on the water, form this unique "one pond and two mountains" garden in the 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 scenery in winter without leaving the garden.

The "One Pond and Two Mountains" garden is the property of Zuixianlou. Early this morning, Zuixianlou announced that the "One Pond and Two Mountains Garden" will not be open to the public, just to fully entertain King Jing's thank-you banquet. The top-notch chefs all went into battle today and took care of the cooking themselves.

Even a master chef from Tongzhou who was good at cooking chickens was quickly brought back by Zuixianlou and handed over to King Jing and his entourage to cook chickens.

The singing girls, dancing girls, and musical girls in the garden are all famous courtesans in the capital. They are outstanding in both sex and art, and are famous far and wide. Even the well-cultivated daughters of ordinary wealthy families are not as good as these courtesans. People are talented.

After the lecture in the morning, King Jing invited Zhu Ping'an and others to the "One Pond and Two Mountains" garden and held a thank-you banquet.

The arrangement of the teacher-appreciation banquet is also modeled on the style of the pre-Qin Dynasty. Each person has a separate table and eats while kneeling at the table.

King Jing and King Yu shared the main seats, and the others took their seats according to their seniority.

Zhu Ping'an was the least senior and sat at the bottom of the table. The seat in front of him was Yang Guoliang, who had been defeated by Zhu Ping'an in the morning.

During the lecture in the morning, Yang Guoliang also lectured on "Plucking Wei", which won applause from the whole room and saved a lot of face.

Now there is another high-ranking Zhu Ping'an on the seat.

Yang Guoliang felt that he was superior to Zhu Pingan. He glanced at Zhu Pingan and raised his chin again.

"SB!"

Zhu Ping'an took Yang Guoliang's behavior into his eyes and twitched the corner of his mouth silently. With such delicious food on the table, why don't you lower your head to eat the food and hold your head high to eat the air.

King Jing was very good at being a good person. He encouraged people to drink and add food, and took good care of everyone at the banquet. Soon the banquet was in a good mood.

The wine is intoxicating and the literary spirit is high.

The banquet started with the drinking order, with poems and couplets accompanying the wine, which pushed the banquet to one climax after another.

Mr. Liu Boxing was elected as the master of the thank you banquet by everyone. The master issued the order, and the others took turns to say poems or couplets according to the order. Those who disobeyed the order or lost would be fined one or more drinks.

Mr. Liu has rich experience. Under his chairmanship, the atmosphere of the banquet went to a higher level.

At the beginning of the couplet, those who can't answer the couplet can drink. However, everyone here is an expert, and there are basically few who can't answer the couplet.

In view of this, Mr. Liu changed the rules and changed it to drinking only if the answer is correct.

"Everyone, please stop drinking wine and listen to my order. The wine for this banquet has been aged for hundreds of years, and we must not let it down. I will only drink the first couplet when I say the first couplet. Those who answer the second couplet will continue to make the next couplet. In the first couplet, only those who meet the superior can drink, and so on. Do you understand?"

Mr. Liu asked everyone at the banquet to put down their wine glasses and said the new rule with a smile.

"I will obey the order." Everyone replied with a smile.

"The sun is in the east, the moon is in the west, and the clear words are formed in the sky." Mr. Liu pondered for a while and wrote a first couplet.

This couplet is a split word couplet, and it also contains the oriental words of East and West, so it is a relatively difficult couplet.

After Mr. Liu came out with this couplet, everyone began to think deeply.

"The son is on the right, the woman is on the left, and the world is destined for good people." While everyone was still thinking, Yang Guoliang was the first to read the second couplet.

"Good, Dr. Yang, please drink this cup." Mr. Liu praised him and personally poured a glass of wine for Yang Guoliang with the wine bottle.

"color."

Everyone also praised in unison.

"Thank you, Mr. Liu, and thank you for your kindness."

Yang Guoliang took the wine glass with both hands and drank it all. He then turned the empty glass upside down to show everyone that he had drank it all. When he turned to Zhu Pingan, he found that Zhu Pingan was busy immersing himself in the half of the wine on the plate. Roast chicken without even looking at myself.

"big eater."

When Yang Guoliang saw this, he curled his lips in disdain and moved his lips silently, mocking Zhu Ping'an for not having seen the world.

"Dr. Yang asks for a couplet, and only those who answer it can drink." Mr. Liu reminded.

"I will obey the law. Please listen carefully, gentlemen. My first couplet is: 'Take Erchuan, arrange eight formations, six out and seven captures, five feet of original lanterns with forty-nine lights, only to fulfill three wishes.'" Yang Guoliang said to Boss Liu The man cupped his hands and then said his first couplet.

This long couplet produced by Yang Guoliang is even more difficult than the one produced by Liu Boxing just now. The couplet contains the numbers one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, ninety. It describes the voice of the famous Zhuge Liang, who wants to form a link with it. It is even more difficult.

Therefore, after Yang Guoliang published this first couplet, everyone fell into thinking.

Only Zhu Ping'an was still immersed in the food on the plate, unable to answer, as if I simply gave up.

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

"belch"

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

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

I ate too much and choked.

Zhu Pingan smiled awkwardly at everyone, then reached out and picked up the cup on the side, preparing to drink tea to soothe his throat.

"Zihou, stop it. You can only drink after seeing Dr. Yang's couplet." Mr. Liu sat on the seat and stopped Zhu Ping'an with a smile.

"Ping'an wants to drink tea, not wine." Zhu Ping'an explained sheepishly.

"The wine is like this, and the tea is the same." Mr. Liu shook his head with a smile, "I am the commander here, and I have the final say."
