Chapter 176

After entering the gate of the Governor's Mansion, Wang Junkuo said heartily: "The mansion has prepared food and wine, and we are waiting for you. I also invite Cui Sheren to follow me. I think we can have a drink today."

Cui Dunli also had a smile on his face: "It's a blessing for me to be invited by the governor. It's just a matter of paying a few more drinks to the governor to thank the governor for his kindness the day before yesterday." The politeness of the two made the atmosphere more harmonious.Luo Yan, who was behind him, also looked at Li Xuandao, and said in a low voice: "Looking at Larry's food and drink today, it's really not Li Changshi's turn to invite him, so I should toast you a few more then."

Relying on Luo Yan's narrow face, Li Xuandao knew that Luo Yan was going to settle the bad debt with him because he just saw his joke.So he said helplessly: "It's okay, it's okay, you will know how to have fun with me."

After entering the main hall, the servants of the Dudu Mansion had already set up their positions.

As a consolation envoy, and also a close minister of the emperor, Wang Junkuo dragged him onto the throne.As for the others, they sat down in order according to their official rank.

At this time, Luo Yan was the Sima of the Governor's Mansion in Youzhou, and there was also a Shangguan from the local state capital.Therefore, after sorting the seats, I finally got the fifth place.On the top are the governor of Youzhou, Biejia and Changshi under his seat, and then Li Xuandao.

But the good thing is that they got the chance to sit at the same table with Li Xuandao, and they happened to have a banquet while reminiscing about the past.

Why doesn't Luo Yan want to have a good relationship with other people?Luo Yan still remembered the disgusted expressions of those people just now.Luo Yan is not so self-indulgent, sitting with people who despise him in his heart, chatting and laughing happily.Although the relationship between the banquet and the relationship is really good, it is not suitable today.

Soon the food and wine were served, and it was exactly as Li Xuandao said.Youzhou dishes are full of northern characteristics.Beef, which is also very scarce in Chang'an, Luo Yan watched as a large plate was brought to each table.It must have been roasted with a lot of spices from the Western Regions, and the golden skin can still see traces of heat.

The aroma spread to Luo Yan's nose, even though he had eaten a lot of delicacies in Chang'an, but Luo Yan had to admit that he had already been captured by this big plate of meat.

Afterwards, three roasted sheep were placed on the shelf in the hall at once.The color is not very different from the beef served before, but the taste is very different.The beef smells like spices from the Western Regions, but the lamb is completely smeared with honey, and the taste is slightly sweet, but very fragrant.

Luo Yan felt that there was no need for anything else at this banquet.As long as these two things are met, and then some good wine, it will be as good as any banquet I have had before.

But Wang Junkuo is not so stingy, this is just a prelude, and there are bear's paws, deer preserved and so on.At this moment, Luo Yan thought of himself as a bumpkin in his heart, and among the dozen or so dishes that were brought up in a blink of an eye, none of them was something he had seen or eaten before.

Almost every table was full before the servants stopped bringing food up.

When all the people present saw Wang Junkuo standing up with a wine glass, they also got up in the same posture, and followed Wang Junkuo to the southwest to worship.This is to thank Li Shimin for his kindness, so everyone drank the first glass of wine very solemnly.After that, Wang Junkuo paid tribute to Cui Dunli, so many officials turned around and signaled to Cui Dunli. After Cui Dunli thanked him and drank the fine wine in the glass, they followed suit.

Originally thought that Wang Junkuo would thank the officials of Youzhou for the third glass of wine, but who would have thought that this person would really save face by turning the third glass of wine to himself.

"Luo Sima's name is also widely spread in the north. I never thought that I, the Governor's Mansion, would be lucky enough to let you be this Sima." Wang Junkuo smiled at this moment, and said to Luo Yan: "Your Majesty in Jingzhou The story is so touching to my soldiers. I also hope that Luo Sima will help me deal with this military affairs in the future."

Hearing Wang Junkuo's politeness at this time, Luo Yan was a little panicked.Since then, I have been staring at him, but now that he talks like this, he intends to make friends with him.

But such a tangled matter, let's think about it later.At present, he still treats Wang Junkuo's glass of wine honestly.

"The governor thinks too highly of me. A bit of a bad name, but it's just a moment of wandering. It's Luo Yan's luck to be able to work under the governor. In the future, I will never forget my original intention and work hard." Luo Yan replied very cautiously.Not much to promise.That is to say, doing things seriously is based on the premise of not forgetting the original intention.

As for what this original intention is, it seems to be related to the Jingzhou incident in many people's minds.But in Luo Yan's heart, he was just thinking about the secret decree Li Shimin gave him.It's fine if Wang Junkuo is obedient, but if there is a change, then no matter how good his attitude towards him is today, Luo Yan will never be soft-hearted.

Hearing Luo Yan's words, Wang Junkuo was very happy, laughed, finished drinking the wine in the glass, and kept saying hello.

After the three cups of wine were toasted, Wang Junkuo called for the banquet to begin, clapped his hands at the same time, and called for the dance music that had been prepared a long time ago.While eating delicacies, all the officials watched the pleasing dance and listened to the ecstatic flute.Luo Yan couldn't hold it in for a long time. Hearing what Wang Junkuo said about the banquet, he saw that many people had already put down their chopsticks, so he picked up the chopsticks and picked up the chopped beef.

Seeing Luo Yan's anxious look, Li Xuandao said angrily, "People despise you as a country bumpkin, so at least you should restrain yourself. You are kind, you are so eager, and you wish to embarrass the capital."

The moment Li Xuandao accused him, Luo Yan had already stuffed a piece of beef with golden skin and fat inside into his mouth.After chewing twice, the beef was accompanied by the taste of spices, sending that fragrance from the tip of Luo Yan's tongue to his chest and abdomen.No matter what Li Xuandao said for a while, the feeling of intoxication has already made Luo Yan feel ashamed and it doesn't matter.

Swallowing this piece of meat, Luo Yancai said: "They see me like this, so I'll let him wait, then I'll see if they will eat it or not?" After speaking, he stuffed another piece of meat into his mouth.Seeing Luo Yan's completely rascal appearance, Li Xuandao also shook his head helplessly, picked up his chopsticks and started to eat.

To be honest, Luo Yanting thanked Wang Junkuo for this banquet, which allowed him to see many things that he had only seen in books before.Like what can't have both fish and bear's paws, I always persuade people to go one way or another, but Luo Yan also knows why he said that this time.

As the saying goes, you can't get tired of eating, and you can't get tired of fine meat. In the era when there was no stir-frying, the two methods of cooking are the mainstream of cooking.Both the fish and the bear's paw are good ingredients for sashimi. Carefully processed sashimi and bear's paw look crystal clear and have their own flavors.Luo Yan picked up the processed extremely thin bear's paw, dipped it in seasoning, it was really delicious in the world.

While Luo Yan was eating and drinking, a person suddenly came to the table.

I saw this man holding a wine glass and said: "I have heard about Luo Sima's name for a long time, and seeing him today, I am really different from ordinary people. I don't know that Luo Sima will reward you, so I will have a drink with you." Although the visitor wanted to toast himself, but These words are really embarrassing.Not only Luo Yan, but also Li Xuandao, the chopsticks caught in the dishes were also a meal.

Carefully finish eating the bear's paw in his mouth.Luo Yan picked up the wine glass, stood up and said with a smile: "Brother's kindness, Luo Yan is naturally more respectful than obedient. But, dare to ask brother?" The person who came didn't even announce his name and official position, and Luo Yan was asked to go in person Ask, this is obviously treating yourself as a senior.

"Don't dare, I am Zhang Chenze, Sima of Youzhou Prefecture." The visitor was a little arrogant, and said his name very loudly.

Luo Yan looked around, well, it turned out to be the person at the second table diagonally opposite.I think this person is upset that his seat is higher than him, he is also a Sima, and his official position seems to be lower than him.Now that he knew the reason, Luo Yan was naturally prepared.Therefore, without waiting for this man to talk more, he took the lead in raising his wine glass and said, "Don't dare to trouble Zhang Sima like this. Luo Yanjie is a junior, so naturally he wants to toast to the senior."

However, after Luo Yan finished speaking, he ignored this person at all, and went directly to toast Wang Junkuo.

If he offended someone, Luo Yan would rather offend this Sima who appeared out of nowhere than offend Wang Junkuo.After all, this person will be my immediate boss in the future, and most of my reasons for coming here are for him.If it can be stabilized, it would be best for Wang Junkuo to be the governor properly.

Originally, he saw Luo Yan being very respectful to him, but this Zhang Sima had a proud face, feeling that he could get satisfaction from Luo Yan bowing his head.Who knew that people ignored him and went directly to Wang Junkuo to toast.What Luo Yan did made this Sima's face turn green and pale, and he stood there, not knowing whether to leave or stay.

But this person is quite patient, after thinking for a while, he stood there and waited for Luo Yan.

On Luo Yan's side, he walked up to Wang Junkuo, said some polite words, and waited for the toast to finish.Looking back, I saw that Zhang Sima was still standing there, and I couldn't help feeling annoyed.This is obviously to tarnish his reputation, and he did it extremely well.No matter what I do next, it must be that Luo Yan disrespects his elders and so on.

After apologizing to Wang Junkuo, Luo Yan went back to his table. Unexpectedly, before Luo Yan sat down, Zhang Chenze shouted loudly: "Luo Sima has always been famous in the world for his poems and prose. Today, how about good wine and good food at the feast?" But there are no poems. How about Luo Sima writing a few poems, and let me see the demeanor of Luo Xiaoshu in Beijing."

It has been several years since he was a school secretary, and this person is still holding on to it.But undoubtedly these words made everyone stop, staring at Luo Yan to see how he would respond.

But at this moment, Luo Yan looked at him calmly, as if he wanted to keep his appearance in his heart.He poured the wine into the glass, drank it all in one gulp, then looked around and said with a smile, "Okay."
