This was Zhang Juzheng's first time to experience the jade cup, but the officials beside him were veterans. When the maid was toasting him, they touched her all over and were having a great time. Only after they finished drinking did they reluctantly let the maid leave.
The guests enjoyed the jade cup one by one, and soon it was Luo Wenlong's turn.
Luo Wenlong was even more unrestrained and had no regard for anyone. Amid the jeers of the crowd, he almost executed the maid on the spot.
"Hahaha, only Brother Wenlong is so unrestrained and free from all worldly affairs." Luo Ziyu beside Luo Wenlong smiled and said half jokingly and half enviously. Although he also took advantage of her just now, he obviously did not get as much advantage as Luo Wenlong.
"No, no..."
Luo Wenlong laughed and waved his hands in a naive manner, looking as if he was proud of it instead of ashamed.
The world is deteriorating and morality is declining!
Zhu Ping'an sighed deeply about this, but he didn't have time to sigh because it was his turn to hold the jade cup.
When Luo Wenlong's maid toasted just now, the maid behind Zhu Ping'an was already ready to make a move.
Now Luo Wenlong's maid has finished toasting.
Then it's your turn.
Zhu Pingan was totally opposed to the jade cup. Firstly, he disdained to be in the same boat with them. Obviously, everyone present was a well-dressed official appointed by the imperial court, but their actions were so vulgar and disgusting, how could they be any different from animals? !
Secondly, he disliked it. Yes, he disliked it. Zhu Ping'an thought he was not a person with mysophobia, but he still declined the so-called jade cup. Although each person at the banquet had a jade cup, who knew how many people had enjoyed these jade cups at previous banquets? Although it was not to the extent of "a pair of jade arms resting on thousands of people, a little red lips tasted by tens of thousands of people", it was definitely not a disposable jade cup. In addition, Zhu Ping'an knew that Yan Shifan invented the scented cup, but he also knew that he invented the scented spittoon. When he first came to the capital, he had seen Yan Song using the scented spittoon. Who knows if today's scented cup will be yesterday's scented spittoon?! Although he knew that Yan Shifan would definitely not mix them up, who could guarantee that Yan Shifan would not deliberately make fun of him.
Thirdly, when Zhu Ping'an thought of Li Shu, he no longer paid attention to the so-called jade cup and so on.
"My young and promising sir, what are you thinking about? You are so engrossed that I have to wait for a long time..." The maid behind Zhu Ping'an covered her lips with her hands and whimpered, saying in a charming and charming manner.
After saying that, the maid lifted her skirt and was about to throw herself into Zhu Ping'an's arms.
"Ahem, slow down."
Seeing this, Zhu Ping'an quickly reached out to block it.
"Sir..." The maid blinked her big watery eyes and looked at Zhu Ping'an innocently and aggrieved.
"Haha, Zihou, what's wrong? Do you also want to learn from your uncle and write poems to warm the wine?" Yan Shifan narrowed his one eye and looked at Zhu Ping'an with interest.
"No." Zhu Pingan shook his head.
"No? Then why are you blocking me, Mr. Champion? It's your turn to drink, hurry up and drink like a real man. Why are you being so shy? Hurry up, hurry up, don't spoil everyone's fun."
Luo Ziyu was the first to raise the issue.
"Haha, what's the matter? Are you, the top scholar, a gentleman who keeps himself clean and looks down on us drinking from jade cups and thinks it's dirty, so you want to stay out of the mud and not be stained, and are ashamed to associate with us?!"
How could Luo Wenlong be absent when Zhu Ping'an was being belittled? Then Luo Ziyu's question put Zhu Ping'an at odds with everyone.
As soon as Luo Wenlong said this, everyone turned their eyes to Zhu Ping'an, especially the official who had just drunk wine from the jade cup, his eyes were even more fierce.
"No?!"
Zhu Ping'an shook his head vigorously. He had to deny it now.
"Hahaha, that means the number one scholar is shy and embarrassed... We are not outsiders, so just let go and do whatever you want. It's normal for young people to have a bad temper and lose control. Besides, with your talent, a poem written after drinking may become a romantic story." The official next to Ouyang Zishi stretched his neck to look at Zhu Ping'an, laughing and saying loudly.
"Hahaha, the top scholar is too shy to save face, sorry, hahaha..."
"Oh, there's an old saying, you want to be a whore and also want to be a saint, haha..."
Everyone burst into laughter when they heard this.
A romantic story?!
I think the world is going downhill! Zhu Pingan was very angry when he heard this.
"Hahaha, as a man, you should enjoy drinking. Come on, sit on my lap..." Yan Shifan glanced at everyone, laughed, pulled the maid next to him onto his lap, and started touching her all over.
The rest of the people followed suit.
The maid beside Zhu Ping'an also giggled and sat on Zhu Ping'an's legs, as if she was boneless and wanted to stick to Zhu Ping'an's arms.
Zhu Ping'an blocked it with his hand.
"Sir, don't be so timid..."
The maid on Zhu Ping'an's legs said in a coquettish voice, and as she spoke, she rubbed against Zhu Ping'an's arms.
"Haha, Zihou, you are the most timid and cautious today."
Yan Shifan was touching the maid in his arms all over, while he squinted his one eye and stared at Zhu Ping'an, and asked in a serious tone, "Zihou, tell me the truth, just tell me whether you want to play with women or not?!"
Yan Shifan narrowed his one eye and stared at Zhu Ping'an with sharp eyes, as if he could see through Zhu Ping'an's heart.
An undercurrent began to stir at the banquet.
"I want to." Facing Yan Shifan's question, Zhu Pingan looked up and stared at Yan Shifan for a few seconds, then nodded slowly. In fact, Zhu Pingan also added the three words "but I can't", but he didn't say it out loud.
"Hahaha, Zihou is quite honest. Let us see, there is no man in this world who doesn't want to play with women, hahaha, unless he is not a man..." Yan Shifan laughed with satisfaction after hearing Zhu Ping'an's answer.
"Hahaha, Lord Yan is right. There is no man who doesn't want to play with women, unless he is not a man." Everyone laughed.
The atmosphere at the banquet became lively again.
"There is no such thing as Liu Xiahui who could remain calm even when a woman's lap was slapped on his face. Even Confucius said, 'Food and sex are human nature, and they are the greatest desires of human beings.' What they mean by 'keeping the laws of nature and eliminating human desires' is all nonsense. Zhu Xi was not satisfied with having only one concubine, and he wanted Nani to be his concubine and to have an affair with his daughter-in-law... Those who claim to be self-disciplined and chaste are actually beasts in human skin! A real man is one who practices what he preaches and plays when he wants."
Yan Shifan laughed and talked eloquently, as if he was giving orders about the country.
Everyone agreed and laughed.
"Sir Zhu, this is Sir Yan's insightful advice. As a man, if you want to play, just play. Don't be timid like a woman. Hurry, drink the jade cup of wine." After laughing, Luo Ziyu and others urged Zhu Ping'an.
The maid on Zhu Ping'an's legs knew how to seize the opportunity. After Luo Ziyu and others urged Zhu Ping'an, she picked up the wine jug with her slender hands, took a sip from her cherry lips, and turned around to toast Zhu Ping'an.
"Ahem, let Rong Ping'an have a drink first to give him some courage."
Zhu Ping'an acted like a brother who was eager to try but also a little shy, and his expression was just right.
Zhu Ping'an's expression reminded many people of their first visit to a brothel. At that time, they also drank a glass of wine to strengthen their courage before walking in excitedly and nervously.
Understand, understand.
So everyone acquiesced to Zhu Ping'an's actions.
Zhu Ping'an took the wine glass from the maid, poured it into his own glass, and then drank it all.
Everyone looked at Zhu Ping'an expectantly.
"Ahem, well, I need another drink." Zhu Ping'an burped.
"Wine makes cowards brave... How cowardly must you be... Drink, drink."
Luo Wenlong and others laughed at him.
So Zhu Ping'an poured another glass and drank it in one gulp.
Then
no
I have to have another drink.
Amid the laughter of the crowd, Zhu Ping'an drank another glass.
After drinking the third cup of courage-boosting wine, Zhu Ping'an fell headfirst under the table, mumbling incoherently something like "No, no...", "Drink, to strengthen yourself..."
Totally drunk.
Everyone was stunned.
How could this be possible? Zhang Juzheng opened his mouth wide. He was just wondering how Zhu Ping'an would get through this, but he didn't expect it to be like this.
