This poem by Zhu Ping'an stole the limelight at the banquet. The line "I will go to the Spring to recruit old subordinates, and with a hundred thousand flags I will slay Yama" is too shocking. It means to devote all my life to the cause until my death. This is what it means to devote all my life until my death. While I am alive, I will serve my country and drive out the barbarians and Japanese pirates. Even if I die in battle, I will gather my old subordinates in the Spring of Nine Netherworld and continue to serve my country.
"You are just a weak scholar who has never been on the battlefield or led an army. And you have 100,000 former subordinates in Quan Tai... You are just daydreaming!"
Luo Longwen, as always, paid special attention to Zhu Ping'an. As soon as he opened his mouth, he pointed out the unreasonable aspects of Zhu Ping'an's poem "Loyalty to the Country".
"Lord Luo is right. I am too reckless. I think I have millions of soldiers in my heart."
Zhu Ping'an smiled faintly, his smile was calm and he did not argue with Luo Longwen. It was enough for them to know that he was not a soft persimmon that they could bully at will.
The banquet continued, Luo Longwen and others learned their lesson, and they would not bring Zhu Pingan with them when they were writing poems and lyrics. Without Zhu Pingan to cause trouble, Comrade Ouyang's performance was still very wonderful, and he was praised by everyone. It was just that Zhu Pingan's "Loyalty to the Country" was like a fish bone stuck in his throat, which made Comrade Ouyang's fame a little flawed.
At the banquet, Zhu Ping'an also got a lot of information, including gossip, news from the court, news from the coastal areas, and so on.
After the palace examination, Comrade Ouyang will marry into the Yan family. It is said that the marriage target is the second daughter of the Yan family.
The news that the Japanese pirates along the coast had recently breached Ningbo, Shaoxing, Songyang and other places reached the capital. The Jiajing Emperor was furious and a furnace of elixir was wasted. He ordered Yu Dayou and other generals to rush to rescue and deal with it.
The old man Li Mo was appointed as the Minister of Personnel by the Emperor's approval, and was praised as "loyal and good" in an imperial edict. The Emperor also allowed him to ride in and out of the palace on horseback, which was almost as good as the treatment of the old man Yan.
... ...
Of course, drinking was inevitable at the banquet. The people sitting below Luo Longwen seemed to have received instructions and came over to toast Zhu Pingan with a lot of wine, intending to get Zhu Pingan drunk at the banquet.
In this regard, Zhu Pingan had no choice but to use his ultimate move - urinating.
After leaving the banquet, a maid accompanied Zhu Ping'an to help him urinate, which made Zhu Ping'an a little overwhelmed. How could a young man who grew up under the red flag have experienced such a scene, to go to the toilet and have someone to serve him, and it was a beautiful maid!
This Yan family really knows how to enjoy life. They even let the maid serve them when they go to the toilet!
If I really let this maid serve me, I probably wouldn't be able to pee...
So Zhu Ping'an just asked the maid to point out the direction of the changing place (toilet), then he politely declined the maid's kindness and went to the toilet alone.
The Yan residence was very large, and the direction of the toilet pointed by the maid was a bamboo garden. Zhu Pingan entered the bamboo garden and walked along the path a few times before he saw the toilet in the bamboo garden. The toilet was very luxurious, and if it weren't for the word "changing clothes" marked on it, Zhu Pingan would have almost thought it was a separate pavilion in the bamboo garden.
It is said that the private toilet used by Yan Song and his son was even more unique. The commode they used was said to be a lifelike sculpture of a white jade beauty wearing colorful clothes, using her private parts to urinate. I don't know if it is true or not.
After going to the toilet, Zhu Ping'an found a place in the bamboo forest to rest for a while. With the breeze blowing, his drunkenness was largely reduced.
When Zhu Ping'an was about to return to the banquet venue, he found that he seemed to have taken the wrong path in the bamboo garden. When he came out of the bamboo garden, he found that he was not in the place he had just entered, but another exquisite small garden with the fragrance of flowers.
The garden was relatively quiet. I didn't see any maids or servants, but I could hear some faint sounds coming from the room.
If he went back too late, Luo Longwen would probably cause trouble for him again. Yan Shifan was obviously not a good person. If he started to care about it, he would be miserable. In order to return to the banquet venue as soon as possible, Zhu Ping'an decided to ask the people in the room for directions.
"Excuse me..."
Zhu Pingan entered the room, bowed his hands, and stopped talking halfway. His eyes almost popped out...
Damn, this is not allowed.
There was a bathtub in the room, with hot steam and flower petals floating in the air. Outside the tub stood a very cool girl, who seemed to have just come out of the bathtub. Her two slender, white, tender arms were draped with a piece of brocade, and her delicate hands were holding a piece of brocade to wipe her body. At this moment, she had an expression of Alpaca, staring with wide eyes at Zhu Pingan who suddenly appeared in the room.
What should I do? What should I do
Zhu Ping'an's brain was working rapidly. After seeing this sudden scene, he was so frightened that he was covered in cold sweat. All signs of drunkenness had disappeared.
Regardless of whether the girl was the mistress of the Yan family or a maid, the fact that she was seen taking a bath by him was something that could not be tolerated even in modern society, let alone in the Ming Dynasty with its strict ethical codes.
The girl was stunned by this sudden scene, but when she came to her senses, her first reaction would definitely be to scream loudly, "What a lecher!" ... and then alert the Yan family, and the consequences would definitely be very serious.
If this girl is a maid, it's fine. But if she is the daughter of the Yan family, uh, please don't make it sound like she is the second daughter of the Yan family. I just heard someone at the banquet saying that after the palace examination, Comrade Ouyang will be engaged to the second daughter...
Damn it, Comrade Ouyang is looking for me to die! Not to mention Yan Shifan and Yan Song, they are people who can turn me into ashes with just a flick of their little fingers!
what to do!!!
Say, sorry miss, I didn’t mean it
Or, sorry miss, I didn't see anything
Forget it. If you say this, you will be reduced to ashes anyway. It's useless!
Seeing that the girl opposite was about to open her mouth and scream, Zhu Ping'an spoke first, and then the girl opposite closed her mouth.
"I'm sorry, sir..."
Zhu Ping'an bowed and spoke first, then burped, looking like he was drunk.
Sorry, sir? Are you blind? I am obviously a woman... This was the first reaction of the girl opposite, and the next second, a hint of joy appeared on her blushing face.
Why? I am a woman, but this person said sorry, sir. That means this person did not see me clearly. Yes, the weather is a bit gloomy today, and the windows are closed in the room. Looking from the outside, it must be dark inside the room and it is difficult to see clearly. The girl felt a little relieved and secretly happy when she thought of this. Fortunately, she saved her face.
Thinking of this, the girl pulled up the silk she was wearing, trying to cover more of her body. Unexpectedly, when she pulled it down, her fair and tender waist and her flat belly without a trace of fat were exposed.
Then he pulled it down subconsciously, and the round and smooth pearl shoulders and the exquisite relief outline became visible from being vague...
It’s so white that it reflects light, and so bright that it’s blinding!
"Ahem, may I ask, sir, where is the Xibi Pavilion?" Zhu Ping'an could not help but lower his head, not daring to look again. Xibi Pavilion was a courtyard that Zhu Ping'an saw on his way to the toilet.
"Turn left when you go out!" the girl opposite said hoarsely, trying to make her voice sound thicker.
"Thank you, sir."
Zhu Ping'an bowed and thanked him, then turned around and left without stopping, his heart pounding, one step, two steps... ... He felt lucky until he walked out of the yard. Damn, he was scared to death!
After leaving the yard, Zhu Pingan almost ran all the way. He didn't care where the banquet was. He just had to get away from this yard first! After three turns and two detours, when he was far away from this yard, Zhu Pingan asked a servant where the banquet was and quickly returned to the banquet.
After Zhu Ping'an left, the girl who had just come out of the bath quickly put on her clothes, patted her chest, and felt lucky.
That young man is so blind that he mistook this girl for a young man...
Then, the girl seemed to feel something was wrong. She walked out of the house, went to the yard, then returned to the door again and looked suspiciously into the room.
That young man must be blind. He could see everything clearly in the room. He could even see the patterns on the flower petals in the bathtub.
Wait, something seems wrong...
Then, there was a scream that pierced the sky... (To be continued.)
