Huh? The Scholar is drunk?!”
“Really? This is drunk?!”
Seeing Zhu Pingan falling head over heels in a drunken stupor under the table, the crowd could not help but be dumbfounded and stupefied, and while surprised, some people questioned.
Luo Wenlong leaned against Zhu Pingan the closest, just now Zhu Pingan drunkenly fell down almost did not plant on him, hearing the crowd’s question, Luo Wenlong squatted down to check carefully, also deliberately patted Zhu Pingan’s face hard, finally snorted loudly, “Still drunk? This is drunk as a puddle of mud, too drunk to be drunk.”
“Zhu Pingan’s drinking has always been bad, he is the Hanlin Academy’s notorious three cups down, this is something I heard about when I was at the Ministry of Justice. I originally thought it was a joke, but I never thought that Zhu Pingan’s drinking capacity would really be this bad! Hahaha, to put it nicely without exaggeration, my daughter’s drinking capacity is even higher than his ……”
There was a chief minister of the Ministry of Justice at the banquet who nodded his head after Luo Wenlong’s words and scoffed along with him.
Well, Zhu Pingan’s drinking capacity was considered notorious in the Hanlin Academy. The few times there were gatherings in the Hanlin Academy, Zhu Pingan’s reputation of not being able to drink and pouring three cups had spread. In the nearby Yamen, many people listened to it as a joke.
“Shuda, you worked with Lord Zhu in the Hanlin Academy for some time, how is Lord Zhu’s drinking capacity?”Luo Ziyu inquired to Zhang Juzheng.
“Lord Zhu’s drinking capacity is indeed not good, ‘three cups down’ is not so bad, but after five cups of wine, he will almost be drunk. Half a month ago, His Highness King Yu received a reception for Lord Zhu, which Juzheng was lucky enough to attend, and at the banquet, Lord Zhu drank about five or six cups, and was already drunk, and was helped down to sleep for more than an hour before waking up. Today, Lord Zhu drank a few more cups than usual.”Zhang Juzheng recalled briefly and softly replied.
“Lord Zhu was really drunk.”
While Zhang Juzheng was speaking, there happened to be a court judge of the Imperial Hospital at the banquet (he went out today to check the pulse of a pregnant concubine of Yan Shifan, and after checking the pulse and prescribing meek medicine to protect the foetus, he was left behind by Yan Shifan to participate in the banquet), and under Yan Shifan’s eye indication, the court judge walked up to Zhu Pingan, numbered Zhu Pingan’s pulse, and came to an authoritative conclusion.
“Hahahaha, the Scholar Lang’s alcohol consumption is so poor!”
“How ridiculous.”
“This amount of alcohol, simply ……”
By this point, the crowd was already convinced that Zhu Pingan was drunk, and they laughed loudly at Zhu Pingan’s drinking capacity.
“Come on people, help Zi Hou to the guest room to rest, be careful with your hands and feet.”Yan Shi Fan waved his hand and beckoned his subordinates, pointing to Zhu Pingan who was mumbling under the table for wine to strengthen his courage, and asked the subordinates to help Zhu Pingan to the guest room to rest.
“Do not, wine, strong ……Strong …..Drink, drink, but also ……”
Being helped up by the subordinate Zhu Pingan, Judas big tongue, the innermost sends out a slurred voice.
“This son thick ……”Yan Shifan could not help but laugh and shake his head when he saw it, “Thee spoiled ……”
“Heh heh, wine strong goons, goons I have seen more, but drinking to strengthen the courage to get himself drunk, he Zhu Pingan this is still the first case.”Luo Wenlong was never positive when he insulted and mocked Zhu Pingan.
“Hehe, a few days ago, I listened to Zhu Pingan’s ‘Junior Da Ming Zhi’ from my canine son and sighed in awe, I originally thought that he, Zhu Pingan, was a hero, but I didn’t expect to find out that he, Zhu Pingan, was actually a dog and bear when I saw him today.”
An official in his forties at the banquet table looked at Zhu Pingan’s back as he was helped to leave, shaking his head and snickering.
“How do you say it?”Yan Shi Fan asked with interest.
Seeing that his words had attracted Yan Shi Fan, the forty-odd year old official instantly glowed, arched his hand towards Yan Shi Fan, and explained with a big smile, “It is recorded in Kong Congzi – Confucian Clothing that the Prince of Ping Yuan of Zhao once advised Kong Zi’s sixth grandson, Kong Xuan (the character Zi Gao), to drink wine, but when Zi Gao excused himself, the Prince of Ping Yuan said, ‘There was a legacy of proverbs in the past:’Yao and Shun had a thousand bells, Confucius had a hundred goblets, Zi Lu was high on wine, but he was still drinking ten scandals.’There is no ancient sage who cannot drink. Why should my son refuse?’This shows that the ancient sages and gentlemen were all able to drink. From this, we can see that the ancient sages and gentlemen were all people who could drink. The more heroic they were, the more massive they were, and he, Zhu Pingan, only drank a few cups of wine before he was drunk and sloppy, where is there a hint of heroism in this, is he clearly a bear?!”
“Well, Lord Liu has a point. As the saying goes, a drink’s character is like a person’s character, and the drinking scene is a reflection of life. He, Zhu Pingan, with this amount of alcohol, isn’t he just a dog and bear.”
“Hahaha ……Dog bear? Is there such a wimpy dog bear? You guys don’t discredit the dog bear.”
“Hahaha ……Then remove the word ‘bear’ and keep the word ‘dog’.”
“Dog? Hahaha, goon like a dog, it’s really apt ……”
When the crowd heard this, there was a burst of laughter as you spoke and I spoke, laughing and humiliating Zhu Pingan.
Zhang Juzheng sat aside, hand holding a cup of tea, cold eyes, for the crowd’s laughter, extraordinarily not ashamed.
To not know as to know, to be ashamed as to be honoured, it is their kind of people, right?
Reading is not serious, only read half, half-understand, still dare where to show off, really do not know who gave them the courage.
The Confucius Series – Confucian Clothing” has the proverb that Lord Liu said is true, when Ping Yuan Jun advised Confucius’ sixth grandson Kong to wear Kong Zigao to drink, he used the proverb “Yao and Shun had a thousand bells, Confucius had a hundred goblets, and Zi Lu was high, but he was still drinking ten scandals”.
But Lord Liu obviously did not finish the book.
The second half of this story is:
Instead of being moved by Prince Ping Yuan, Kong Zigao said to him, “The proverb you are talking about is a fabrication made up by people who love to drink in order to persuade others to drink,” which means that “Yao Shun, a thousand goblets, and Zi Lu, ten scandens, are still drunk”.
That is to say, the so-called “Yao Shun, a thousand bells, Confucius, a hundred goblets, Zi Lu, a stoned man, still drinking ten scandens” is a so-called proverb, which is deliberately fabricated by people who want to persuade people to drink, and it is not true, and the descendants of Confucius have already come out to refute the rumour many times.
Besides, like you like this drunkenness, is a hero? Not ashamed, but thought of honour, is only you guys.
The more you listen to the laughter, Zhang Juzheng is more speechless and disdain for them.
“Hehe, tube him hero dog bear, we should be fun and enjoyable, come come come, who should be next?!”
Yan Shi Fan said with a loud laugh.
“Lord Yan, what he said makes sense, we should have fun.”The crowd agreed.
Next, the banquet continues, in the jade cup fragrant mouth stimulation, the crowd drink more cheerful, extravagant.
“Hahahaha, do you know why Zi Hou came on this trip?!”
Drinking high Yan Shi Fan, while lifting up the sarong of the maid in his arms, while looking at the crowd with a proud face asked.
“I wish to hear about it.”
The crowd asked curiously.
“He is acting on behalf of King Yu, and has come to send money to Yan Mou, he only sent it once yesterday, and has come to send it again today, hahaha ……”Yan Shi Fan laughed loudly while rubbing the maid in his arms hard, very reckless.
Ah?
When the crowd heard this, they couldn’t help but eat a shock, refreshing their understanding.
Looking at the crowd surprised little eyes, Yan Shifan heart of satisfaction is more prosperous, the pleasure of conquering the royal power is strong to the extreme, proudly looked askance at the crowd, will be a leg forcefully cocked on the table, not without bragging said: “Thou say, the son of heaven child Shangxing gold in me, who dares not to do the gold person!”
