My balcony connects the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 427 Banquet ([-])

"This iron house with four wheels is no good."

Among the crowd watching the ceremony, there was a middle-aged man with a preference for body shape, well-dressed, with a rosy voice and an extraordinary bearing.

The few people behind him frowned upon hearing this.

A tall and strong man asked: "The lord thinks, what is this thing? It doesn't need to be dragged by horses or horses, and it doesn't need to be pushed by manpower?"

The middle-aged man shook his head slightly, not guessing randomly, nor pretending to understand.

Seeing this, everyone's expression froze.

At this time, another man said in a deep voice: "This Weijun dog sees people as inferior, no matter how capable he is, he can't make a fortune."

Several people looked at the middle-aged man in the lead, but the middle-aged man shook his head and said, "No, it's really my fault that I wasn't invited this time."

"A few years ago, if we had sent troops to Wuhuan first, it would have been my Xuantu Gongsun family who had achieved dominance this time. I missed the opportunity."

Several men looked at each other in blank dismay, and someone asked, "What's the master's plan for the future?"

The middle-aged man frowned, looked at the gate of the palace, and fell into deep thought.

At the same time, several forces that were not invited also looked at the palace thoughtfully.

Among them, Cao Cao and Liu Bei looked at each other from a distance across the crowd, and both of them looked disappointed.

in the palace.

The heads of 36 aristocratic families from various prefectures and counties in the Han Dynasty took their seats in stages under the guidance of female guards.

The leader is of course the Hedong Wei family, followed by the Runan Yuan family who is the fourth generation and third father, and the Hongnong Yang family who is also the fourth generation and third father.

When it comes to the qualifications of "Four Generations and Three Dukes", the Hongnong Yang family is much earlier than the Four Generations and Three Dukes of the Yuan family in Runan.

Yang Zhen, the ancestor of the Yang family, was famous all over the world when the relatives of the Deng family took power in the middle of the Eastern Han Dynasty. He had considerable influence and was known as "Kansai Confucius".

Although he came from a poor family, he was respected by the world by virtue of his knowledge and virtue.Going back further, Yang Zhen's ancestor, Yang Xi, had already been an official in the court during Liu Bang's era, and his family education was passed down, no worse than Wei and Yuan.

Next is the Cai family headed by Cai Yong, so I won't go into details here. In fact, the Cai family's inheritance is not ranked third, but Mrs. Jun is from the Cai family after all, so she should have this position.

Ranked fourth is Yingchuan Xunshi.

Speaking of the Xun family, many people immediately think of celebrities such as Xun Yu, Xun You, and Xun Chen.

But in fact, the Xun clan in Yingchuan is the descendant of Xunzi. The rise of the Xun clan began with Xun Shu in the era of his relative Liang Ji. Li Gu, two famous figures in the middle of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and Li Ying were his disciples.

Xun Shu has done two great things in his life. One is to use his own knowledge and virtue to open the head of the Xun family, and the other is to give birth to eight sons with both ability and political integrity, which are collectively called "Xun's Eight Dragons". .

Now the Xun family is also attached to the umbrella of the Wei family, and the Xun family is reused. Among them are the relationship between Xun Yu and the favor of Wei Cheng.

No.5, Xiapi Chen's.

Speaking of the Chen family, Chen Gui, Chen Deng and his sons are more familiar to everyone. Judging from the superficial records, their political stances are very vague. They attached themselves to Yuan Shu for a while, Lu Bu and Liu Bei for a while, and finally chose Cao Cao.

However, from an in-depth discussion, the political stance of the Chen family is actually quite consistent, that is, to occupy Xuzhou and attach themselves to the strongest force, so as to protect the family from falling.

As for personal feelings, for example: Chen Gui had a good friendship with Yuan Shu, and Chen Deng also had some friendship with Liu Bei, but these friendships were all more important than family interests, which was the main reason why the Chen family chose Cao Cao later.

Dependent on the strong, this is the way of survival of the aristocratic family.

The aristocratic families after No.5 are almost the same, the Sima family, the Lu family, the Fan family, the Cui family, the Dou family... are all the noble families of the Han Dynasty.

Among them, there is a Lingnan gentry who is particularly eye-catching.

The Shi family was an extremely powerful local force in the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty. Shi Xie, the prefect of Jiaozhi, and his three brothers led four counties in total, accounting for more than half of the Lingnan territory.

In the history of Lingnan and Vietnam, Shi Xie had a very high prestige and was not under Zhao Tuo, the king of Nanyue. Later, the Chen Dynasty of Vietnam gave Shi Xie Shangan Jiaying King Lingwu, which also objectively proved that Vietnam is an inseparable part of our country.

Shi Xie was able to get the invitation, thanks to Sun Ce.

Sun Ce's fleet sailed from Yangzhou to the sea at the beginning, circled the rooster's belly and arrived at the chicken's feet, but later felt that it was too far away, so they simply crossed the sea on the north coast of Dongyazhou (Hainan Island), passed through Jiaozhou, went north to Jingzhou, and finally Arrive in Luoyang and Yangzhou.

After this operation, it is safe and trouble-free. Land transportation is still the main force in this era. If there is a strong army to open the way, it will be smooth all the way.

At the beginning, Shi Xie's people fought with Sun Ce's men. After being tortured by blood, Shi Xie knew that the big man had changed hands. I have to say that the news in Lingnan is really blocked. Become a 'paradise' for fugitive scholars.

"Father, this wine is delicious, please try it."

Shi Xie glared angrily at his third son, Shi Hui, "Put down your wine glass, don't be rude."

Shi Hui froze for a moment, turned his head to look at other tables, only to find that no one touched the chopsticks and wine glasses, and they were all sitting upright, as if they were waiting for some important person.

Shi Xie already regretted bringing this son into the palace at this time, he was simply embarrassing himself, he looked like he had never seen the world, and he didn't know why the aristocratic family next to him laughed at him in their hearts.

Originally at the bottom of the seat, Shi Xie was not very happy, and seeing his son embarrassing himself, he wished he could slap him to death.

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps at the door, and then two rows of heroic female guards lined up.

The leading female Wei said loudly: "Wei Jun, Mrs. Jun, here."

Hurrah, everyone in the audience stood up to greet him at the same time.

Shi Xie and his party were closest to the door, and hurriedly got up, doing the unskilled scholar's ceremony.

Everyone lowered their heads and lowered their eyes, only to smell a gust of fragrant wind blowing towards their faces, and the mixed smell in the hall was instantly covered by the fragrance.

When the female guard yelled to get up, Wei Cheng and Cai Yan were already seated on the dragon couch and phoenix chair above the steps.

Shi Xie took a sneak peek, and happened to meet Wei Cheng's eyes, and Wei Cheng even smiled kindly at him.

Shi Xie hastily clasped his fists in embarrassment and saluted, secretly said: This Wei Jun looks kind, so he shouldn't be a cruel person.

"Start the banquet!" Wei Cheng said loudly.

Then, a series of unseen and unheard of delicacies were presented by Gong'e, and each dish was the signature of various cuisines in later generations.

Peking duck, roasted sea cucumber with scallions, Cantonese-style roast goose, squirrel mandarin fish, Longjing shrimp, Buddha jumps over the wall, fish head with chopped peppers, flying in the sky, running on the ground, swimming in the water, all of which are eye-opening and delicious. .

Of course, drinks are not simple either.

Wei Cheng has no intention of hiding it. Baijiu, rice wine, red wine, and beer are served in turn. They are paired with various dishes, as well as various fruit juices, and Feizhai Happy Water. This stuff goes with fried food. The food is simply perfect.

At the beginning, everyone still relied on their status, and when they ate food, they also chewed slowly and behaved properly.

Later, I couldn't manage so much anymore, I was afraid that if I was too slow to eat, I would be sent back without eating two mouthfuls of dishes.

You must know that this era is a meal-sharing system, which is very similar to western restaurants in later generations. You haven’t finished the previous dish, but the next dish will come. The table is so big, you must remove one dish, otherwise the table will be full of dishes. , into what system?
"Well, this roasted sea cucumber with scallions is not bad. I will ask Wei Jun for a recipe later, so that the cook at home can learn how to make it."

While eating, Yuan Shu chatted and laughed with Cai Yong at the next table.

Cai Yong also thought this dish was good, and when he was about to agree, Wei Cheng, who was at the top, hurriedly said: "It's better to take it easy on the road, this little sea cucumber tends to have weak legs if you eat too much, if you eat one a day, your legs will not listen handle."

Yuan Shu was startled when he heard the words, and said in horror: "It's really like what Mr. Wei said, isn't this sea cucumber a poison?"

Wei Cheng laughed and said, "How dare you let you eat the poison, don't worry, I'm just making a little joke."

Alas, I wanted to have fun, but I didn't want them to understand.

Speaking of it this way, should I train the national football team as soon as possible... Forget it, let's change to another sport, the national football team is hopeless.

···
Three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.

Only then did Wei Cheng clap his hands, indicating that the female guard beside him could be on the show.

The female guard nodded slightly and looked towards the door. Not long after, sixteen charming ladies came in with various musical instruments.

"Abba, fairy, what a beautiful fairy!" Shi Hui excitedly took his father's hand, pointing at the musicians and drooling.

There are also beauties in Lingnan, but unfortunately due to improper maintenance and insufficient supplies, the women in Lingnan have sallow skin and teeth as black as betel nuts, making it difficult to please.

It was also the first time for Shi Xie to see so many beautiful women, so he couldn't help but take a few more glances, men, it's normal.

Wait for the musicians to arrive.

Wei Cheng said with a smile: "Is there any heir in each family who is good at sword dancing?"

"I come!"

As soon as the words fell, Chen thought the boy got up and recommended himself.

Wei Cheng nodded in satisfaction, and said, "Shan, if you dance well, you will be rewarded a lot later."

The young man excitedly looked at his uncle Chen Deng at the side, and after receiving the latter's signal, he took off his hair crown, accessories and other items on his body, then made a bow with both hands, and walked to the field to stand still.

Wei Cheng looked at the female guard, and the female guard understood, and took a strangely shaped long sword from the weapon rack behind her.

"This sword is called Wushen. The blade is three feet and seven inches. Its net weight is seven catties and 13 taels. You." Wei Cheng said with a smile.

The young man took the long sword with both hands, bowed respectfully to Wei Cheng, and then looked at the sixteen musicians.

The musicians looked at each other, and the leading female Dongxiao set the tune, the young man nodded his head in thanks, drew his sword and posed in a standing pine posture.

The zither sounded, and the young man raised his brows slightly, full of vigor, and the long sword in his hand fluttered like the wind, changing between fast and slow with the rhythm of the music.

After a dance, the audience applauds.

Wei Cheng nodded slightly, looked at Chen's group, and said, "Is this son married?"

The head of the family, Chen Gui, heard the words, and hurriedly stood up and responded: "Hui Weijun, Zhu'er has just turned fifteen, and is not yet married."

Wei Cheng looked at his second uncle Wei Min, who nodded with a smile, and just like that, an in-law relationship was reached.

Seeing this, everyone in the Chen family was overjoyed. After the young man returned to the clan, he would definitely become the focus of training.

Next, several teenagers came on stage to add to the fun.

The ancients paid attention to the six arts of a gentleman, among which music theory is one of the must-learn.

The children of the aristocratic family usually don't have much entertainment, and many of them like to study music theory, so the programs shown are all wonderful.

Wei Cheng was not stingy either, as long as he performed on stage, no matter how exciting it was, he would be rewarded to a certain extent.

In just a short while, seven or eight bicycles and two magical weapons were sent out.

Until someone from the Zhen family appeared on the stage.

Wei Cheng couldn't help but take another look, because he heard the familiar and long-awaited name.

"Zhen Jiang, Zhen Mi, I have met Mr. Wei, and I greet Mrs. Jun."

This is a pair of sisters, the elder sister Zhen Jiang is around thirteen or fourteen years old, and the younger sister Zhen Mi is only seven or eight years old, with a pair of lively eyes looking at Wei Cheng and Cai Yan on the stage from time to time.

As soon as the two sisters came out, they attracted the attention of many aristocratic sons and brothers, especially the elder sister Zhen Jiang, who was dressed in a new palace dress just launched by Xiuhefang. She was well dressed and behaved like a fairy.

"My two sisters will bring you a neon dress dance." Zhen Jiang looked at Wei Cheng cautiously.

Wei Cheng glanced at the young Zhen Mi, nodded with a smile, and said, "Okay, play music."

The musicians looked at the two sisters, because the neon dress dance is usually a formation dance, and the two of them obviously couldn't dance.

Zhen Jiang walked up to the musician who was playing the zither, and after saying a few words, the musician gave up his position.

It was only then that everyone discovered that it was the seven or eight-year-old girl who was dancing, and the elder sister was in charge of playing the piano.

"Hehe, isn't this just nonsense." Some daughters of aristocratic families who were jealous of Zhen Jiang's beauty said disdainfully.

At this time, Zhen Jiang's piano sounded.

Zhen Mi was the only one standing in the arena, a little girl of seven or eight years old, with a beautiful appearance, her bright eyes showed no trace of timidity.

Hearing the sound of the piano, Zhen Mi immediately put on a dancing pose, dancing gracefully to the sound of the piano.

Wei Cheng couldn't help but smile, what's the difference between this and watching a performance by kindergarten children?
However, seeing little Zhen Mi dancing so hard, Wei Cheng was also a little distressed, and he should give some rewards later.

Only Cai Yan's expression moved slightly, looking at Zhen Jiang who was playing the piano.

As a woman, how could she not know what Zhen's intention was?
Besides, that Zhen Jiang is indeed so beautiful that it cannot be described in words. If it is only about appearance, Zhong Chan and Liu He may not be able to compare. After recovering, Hao Niang, who has no scars on her face, can barely compare with her. Compete.

Cai Yan looked at Wei Cheng calmly.

But Wei Cheng was watching Zhen Mi dancing with great interest, not paying attention to Zhen Jiang at all.

This scene also fell in the eyes of several aristocrats, especially the patriarch of the Zhen clan, who couldn't help frowning.

Could it be that Wei Cheng likes the little girl Zhen Mi?
But this child is only seven or eight years old.

It's not impossible...

If Wei Cheng knew about the thoughts of the patriarch of the Zhen clan, he must be punished.

What are you thinking?

We are purely admiring the classical dance of a kindergarten kid.
