The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms

Zhang Zhi said, "The Xun Rafters have arrived, let's have a feast now." After clapping their hands, a dozen or so beautiful maids filled the hall with food boxes and provided food for everyone. The female musicians in the hall played the qin and the sheng, and sang and danced softly.

Xiao Xia looked at Xun Zhen outside the hall.

Xun Zhen understood that just now, Zhang Zhi and a big slave outside the hall exchanged eyebrows, and Xiao Xia was reminding him to be careful. He thought: "Zhang Zhi winked at the slave, and what he said was nothing more than 'humiliating me'. If he wanted to humiliate me with words, he didn't need to wink with the slave outside the hall. , Could it be that he needs the cooperation of someone to 'humiliate me'? ..., does he need someone to cooperate? Does he not only want to scold me, but also want to beat me? Someone in ambush outside the hall wants to throw a cup '?"

It's not impossible either. When Xun Zhen came to Zhang Zhi's house this time and went to Zhang Zhi's banquet, the worst plan was to be beaten. Compared to being beaten and scolded, the former is definitely more humiliating. Throwing it out after a beating is even more humiliating.

Xun Zhen took the opportunity to wipe her face with the sweat towel, and glanced at Xiao Xia calmly. Xiao Xia's eyes never left Xun Zhen, the two made eye contact, he understood Xun Zhen's meaning, turned his head and pretended to talk to Xiao Ren. I asked the slave servant of Zhang family next to me: "Where is your toilet? I have a sudden stomach pain and I am very anxious."

He asked in a hurry, and the Zhang family's servant didn't think much about it. He pointed to the west of the hall and said, "Keep walking until you reach the corner of the wall, and it's dung."

Xiao Xia covered her stomach, bent over, and quickly left the door of the hall, heading in the direction the servant pointed.

Xiao Ren and Cheng Yan strangely looked at his back as he left in a hurry, and then looked at Xun Zhen in the hall.

The hall was as bright as day, the maid had already arranged the food and wine, and Zhang Zhi was holding a bottle to persuade him to drink. Everyone in the hall drank a bottle, and when they finished drinking, they all showed the bottom of the bottle to show that they had finished drinking. Xun Zhen also showed the bottom of the bottle. This move is not only a manifestation of the Han people's honesty and fondness for wine, and they will drink hard at every feast, but also a courtesy, showing respect for the toaster. Zhang Zhi pointed at Xun Zhen and said, "The rafters have not finished drinking!"

His seat was in the innermost part of the hall, and there were five or six cases away from Xun Zhen. It was almost a zhang or two. How could he see if there was any wine in Xun Zhen's wine bottle? Obviously taking advantage of the opportunity. Xun Zhen couldn't tell the difference, she dropped the wine bottle with a smile, the mouth of the bottle was facing down, and the bottom of the bottle was facing up. Zhang Zhi shook his head again and again, and said, "I didn't drink up, I didn't drink up!"

The maid who had entered the hall to provide food did not leave, but stayed at the table of the guests, serving them with food. Zhang Zhi ordered the maid who was serving Xun Zhen: "Fill it up for the supervisor, and drink another bottle!" All the guests present had only one drink, why did Xun Zhen insist on two drinks? Drinking alcohol is also a form of humiliation.

Xiao Ren and Cheng Yan's expressions changed abruptly.

As if nothing had happened, Xun Zhen took the wine bottle and said with a smile, "Your family's wine is beautiful, you should drink more." He drank it all. Zhang Zhi laughed and said, "Knowing that my wine is delicious means you still have two points of taste. Zhen! Have another drink."

"Young name, crown word", "crown and word, respect its name". For an adult man, "name" is used to refer to himself. Except for parents, elders and people whose status is higher than himself, it is a great insult to be called by his first name. "When people hear his name today, there are few people who don't scold him." Zhang Zhi's father, Zhang Rang, was the permanent attendant in the middle school. If Zhang Rang called Xun Zhen's name directly, what would Zhang Zhi be? Just a white body. Xun Zhen was born in a famous family and was the postal supervisor in the north. In front of so many people, it was very humiliating to be called by his own name in front of so many people.

Xiao Ren and Cheng Yan were furious. Xun Zhen listened to all directions, watched six directions, noticed the anger of the two of them, pressed her hands down slightly, motioned them to calm down, waited for the maid to fill up the wine again, drank it calmly, and said with a smile, "Jun's fine wine , well-deserved reputation."

All the guests at the table snickered. Zhang Zhi huffed and said to himself, "Tian She'er can really bear it!"

Before the banquet officially started, the guests drank a glass of wine and insulted Xun Zhen twice in a row. He was determined to humiliate him again, and faced with Xun Zhen's "spit on his own face" attitude, he couldn't do anything for a while.

"Everyone, please drink another bottle."

Everyone drank one more bottle. After drinking this cup, the banquet officially began.

...

Drinking can't be empty, just toasting and clinking glasses is boring, should Zhang Zhi's suggestion, use the wine to add to the fun. At that time, the wine orders were not as varied as later generations, but there were also many, such as throwing pots, such as wine order money. You must have skill in throwing a pot. Zhang Zhi is not good at this, so he chose wine money.

The wine order money is that each person takes a special coin with a number engraved on it. Choose one person to be the head of the wine supervisor, put the corresponding wine money into the chip, shake it and take out one, and report the number according to the above count. Sing and dance, or sing.

The wine supervisor is choosing Fei Chang. He held the chip tube and shook it open, reached out and took out a wine to raise money, Zhang Zhi pressed down on the table, and asked, "What is it?" : "It's really good mouth color, it's 'Le Wuyou'."

In addition to the numbers corresponding to the wine money, there are many other text money in the wine money. Some are auspicious words, such as "happy and worry-free", "longevity without disease", "prosperity and longevity", etc.; some are game entertainment, such as "starting wine", "drinking song", "self-drinking" and so on. "Le Wuyou" is obviously an auspicious word.

Zhang Zhi laughed, raised a glass to show the crowd, and said, "The night is coming, the wine has just risen, and Changle is not young." Everyone at the table raised their glasses, and they all laughed in agreement: "Changle is not young." Everyone drank the wine together. .

Shaking the pot again, an "eleventh" was shaken, and no one at the table held this number in their hands. Shaking it again, it was "The Nineteenth". The Southern Governor Post smiled and said, "It's me." He drank the wine happily.

In this way, after shaking it ten times in a row, six numbers came out. Most of the people at the table had one turn. I don't know if Xun Zhen was lucky or something, but he never got his turn. Fei Chang thought: "Young Master made me to be this wine supervisor. Obviously, he wants me to drink Xun Jiazi a few more glasses of wine. Xun Jiazi is lucky, he has not been shaken ten times, this is not good. ." Then he took out another wine to raise money, picked it up and looked at it, and it said "Five grains" written on it, which is another auspicious word. He said loudly, "Thirteenth."

The wine order money in Xun Zhen's hand was exactly "Thirteenth". According to convention, for fairness, after reporting the figures, the wine supervisor should show the money for everyone to see. After Fei Chang finished reporting this time, he didn't show it to everyone, but threw it back into the chip.

Xun Zhen knew that something was wrong, but she didn't ask, pretending she didn't know, and drank the wine from the bottle with a smile. A person on the opposite seat said yin and yang strangely: "Xun Rong has a good bearing, and he drank the wine without looking at raising money, and was not afraid of Fei Cheng playing with you?"

"As Fei Cheng's subordinate, how could Fei Cheng coax him?"

Many of the guests in the hall were thinking: "'Xunjiahu' has a great reputation, but tonight he is like a sick cat in front of Zhang Jun! It seems that he is just a person who bullies the soft and fears the hard." Unconsciously, he underestimated Xun again. Zhen three points.

...

Outside the hall, Xiao Xia came back. Xun Zhen glanced at him from time to time, he showed an anxious look on his face, and gestured with his eyes frequently. Xun Zhen said in her heart, "Xiao Xia keeps looking at both sides of the hall door. What is he signaling? Is he trying to tell me that there is an ambush outside the hall?"

After three rounds of drinking, the atmosphere in the hall was getting warmer. Several people who were light drinkers were already half-drunk. There were two excessive ones, who stripped off the dresses of the servant girls, revealing the delicate body of the two servant girls, Bai Shengsheng.

Fei Chang shook out another "starting wine", picked up the wine bottle, knelt down and walked to the front of Zhang Zhi's seat, and prostrated himself to make a toast. Zhang Zhi was not interested in drinking his wine. Looking at the boobs/waves in the hall, he teased and said, "Anu, I heard your brother and wife's body length and must be good at dancing. Why don't you invite us to drink?"

"Smell your brother-in-law's body length", he was talking about Chi maid. Xun Zhen's eyelids twitched slightly, she covered the wine bottle with her sleeve, and took advantage of the opportunity to raise her head to drink, and looked at Fei Chang and Fei Tong's expressions. Fei Chang didn't look worried, he immediately turned his head to call Fei Tong, and said, "Young master also knows your wife's body length, I am really lucky to Fei's family. You go and call your wife and dance and toast for the young master."

Fei Tong has the lowest status in the court, and has always been very restrained. Hearing this, he was stunned. This was a very unreasonable, extremely uncivilized, and highly humiliating request. Xun Zhen saw that he was probably very reluctant to agree, but he was cowardly by nature and could not have the courage to refuse in front of Zhang Zhi. , After staying for a while, he murmured yes and left the table reluctantly.

Xun Zhen shook her head secretly and said to herself, "Poor maid Chi, marrying such a husband!" Although he felt worthless for maid Chi, he didn't have the time to hold grievances for her. Soon, his mind returned to Xiao Xia's. On the "eye gesture", he thought, "I've been drinking a lot, and I think Zhang Zhi is also drunk. No matter whether he ambushed someone outside the hall or not, no matter how he intends to humiliate me, I am afraid that the time to start this will be too late. At this moment. I can't wait for him to start, I should pre-empt it."

He also observed the table almost. Most of the guests who came were the children of powerful and wealthy families, and they were well-mannered and respected. "Pre-emptive" is not difficult. The question is: how to grasp this timing and this heat? While he was thinking about it, Fei Tong came back with a woman behind him, isn't that the maid Chi?

He was quite surprised, and said to himself, "Why so fast?" Then he guessed, "Yes, Fei Chang and Fei Tong are both there, presumably Chi-maid will be here early tonight, but it's just inconvenient to go to the hall, so it may be With the guests and daughters of Zhang Zhi's family." Had the maid Chi arrived early, Zhang Zhi would not have heard of her "body length" from others.

Maid Chi dressed up beautifully tonight, with her hair in a high bun, her mouth piercing red, her ears drooping with bright pearls, and she was wearing a thin dark green skirt with a green ribbon around her waist, which was dazzling green. Rao Yi Xunzhen was absent-minded, and his eyes involuntarily fell on her waist first, looking down, the skirt was long on the ground, looking up, the bodice was tall, very plump and slender. There is also a fragrance, which lingers in the nostrils.

There was also a tall maid in Zhang Zhi's family, but there was no one as tall and beautiful as Chi's maid. She opened her mouth and stared at Chi's maid for a while before she regained her senses and swallowed. He spit, and said, "Anu, Anu! Your brother has such a beautiful baby in his house. It's so beautiful. Come, come, come, I'll have a drink with you." near.

...

Xun Zhen's seat was next to the hall door. The maid Chi saw him as soon as she came in. The anger that was originally caused by Fei Tong's call to accompany the wine suddenly turned into surprise, almost subconsciously, she immediately turned her face and looked out of the hall. After he finished, he turned around immediately, without looking at Fei Chang and Fei Tong, who had just been seated, he knelt down on the ground, saluted Zhang Zhi and others, and said, "I heard that the monarchs in the hall are calling, and the concubines are frightened. Toast."

Zhang Zhi was overwhelmed with joy, and said repeatedly: "Okay, okay, come, come, give me a toast!"

The maid brought a wine bottle, filled it with wine, and presented it to the maid Chi. The maid Chi went to Zhang Zhi's seat, raised the wine bottle over her head, and said, "It's your longevity!"

Zhang Zhi pushed away the maid next to him and got up to get the wine bottle. Xun Zhen saw that he first touched the hand of Chi's maid, and then took the wine bottle and drank it on his back, ignoring the wine down his beard, put his hand under his nose, took a deep sniff, and said happily. : "So fragrant, so fragrant!  …, one more toast, one more toast."

Xun Zhen retracted her gaze and said in her heart, "It's a good time for this maid to come, and all of Zhang Zhi's mind was attracted at once. While his mind is not with me, this is a good opportunity for me to 'pre-empt'."

As a woman, Chi maiden was taken advantage of by Zhang Zhi in a large audience, and the unhappiness in her heart can be imagined. She was so good at hiding her unhappiness, she smiled lightly and said, "If 'never' it will be full, full of damage. Zhang Jun, one cup is enough. If you want to drink, wait for the concubine to respect the nobles in the hall, and then pay respect to you again. Late."

"Okay, okay! Well said. Go, go, go to respect them, come over after the toast, I want to have a few drinks with you."

After paying respect to Zhang Zhi, maid Chi started from him and respected all the guests in the hall, and finally arrived at the case of Xun Zhen.

She lifted up her ru skirt, and sat opposite Xun Zhen across the table, her clothes fragrant.

She was already tall, and her hair was in a high bun. At this time, she sat down on her knees, which seemed to be the same height as Xun Zhen. She blinked her beautiful eyes, took a deep look at Xun Zhen, and said, "The wine is intoxicating, don't drink too much. For your longevity."

Xun Zhen thought, "What does 'don't drink too much' mean?"

The two of them have known each other for a long time and have spoken several times, but this is the first time they have spoken so closely to each other. Xun Zhen only felt that she was spitting out orchid musk, and the fragrance of rouge mixed with the fragrance of clothes and wine, making people confused. After speaking the toast, she leaned over to raise her glass, and another strand of fragrance came, and the thin and straight neck also fell into Xun Zhen's eyes. Xun Zhen's eyes fell, and through the middle clothes, she could see her delicate collarbone and black underwear, she quickly retracted her gaze, and dignifiedly went to pick up the wine glass.

The maid Chi didn't let go immediately, and touched him with her fingers.

This is an unusual move. Xun Zhen was slightly stunned. The maid slightly raised her head and glanced outside the hall.

Xun Zhen thought: "Is she reminding me to leave quickly? She came from outside, and she reminded me to leave when she came, and Xiao Xia kept her eyes on both sides of the hall. It seems that I guessed right, there must be an ambush outside the hall. ." He quietly raised his glass and drank, thinking about a plan. Zhang Zhi was afraid that he would not let him go if he left the table early. Forced to go, since he ambushed people, he will also use force. There are only three or four people on my side, and I am afraid that I will suffer a loss.

He thought: "In the present plan, I can only take the opportunity to leave by taking advantage of the opportunity that Zhang Zhi's mind is not on me, taking advantage of his unpreparedness, and suddenly attacking and suppressing his momentum." Sudden attack also needs an excuse. , where does the excuse come from? He drank the wine and returned the bottle to the maidservant Chi. With a plan, he thought, "It will be effective for the maidservant Chi, let's start the situation from toasting."

...

Who to toast? Open from whom? It is inappropriate to start directly with Zhang Zhi, in case it becomes self-defeating, and the backlash will make him angry, the gain will outweigh the loss. His eyes swept over the table, and he chose a target: "Fei Chang is the most suitable, let's watch me knock the mountain and shake the tiger." He got up and smiled, "I was invited by Zhang Jun tonight, and I am fortunate to meet all the monarchs here. Zhen I borrowed flowers to offer Buddha, and I also gave you a respect to the bar." Without waiting for Zhang Zhi and the others to respond, he stepped forward to attend and went straight to Fei Chang's seat.

Fei Chang had already returned to his seat.

Xun Zhen picked up the wine bottle on his case and said respectfully, "Fei Cheng is the county chief of this county. I am a subordinate officer in Xiayi, I wish you a long life and happiness." .

Xun Zhen filled the wine with her own hands, then raised it up and said: "Fei Cheng is not only a high-ranking official in this county, but also the predecessor of a subordinate official. Let's give Fei Cheng a cup." Fei Chang frowned, but he refused to say anything and reluctantly drank again down.

Xun Zhen refilled the wine again, and said respectfully again: "The lower officials visited the northern counties of the county before, and the county people said that Fei Cheng was honest and fair when he served as the post supervisor in the northern part. The people respect Fei Cheng with a cup, and I wish you an early rise."

Fei Chang quit. Why did he cry and ask Zhang Zhi to avenge him? Wasn't it just because Xun Zhen expelled the filthy officials in the north of the county and rectified the tyrants and swept his face? Xun Zhen, however, said that the people called him the "Wen Wu Harmless" postal supervisor, and anyone could hear it. This was not a compliment, but a humiliation! He glared at Xun Zhen and asked, "What does the postmaster want to do?"

Everyone in the hall noticed them both. Zhang Zhi also looked away from the servant Chi, who was kneeling down in the hall, and looked at them both. Xun Zhen Yan was calm and said with a smile, "The servant wants to give Fei Cheng a toast."

"Are you so respectful?"

"You don't drink it, I will drink it myself." Xun Zhen drank the wine from the bottle.

Everyone at the banquet thought that he was submissive, and many showed a disdainful smile, thinking: "I don't even know how to say a toast to Fei Chang, how can he drink it? It's really boring to shoot yourself in the foot. !"

Xun Zhen's actions were beyond their expectations. After drinking the wine, he did not return to his seat, but filled the wine bottle again, lifted it up again, and then toasted Fei Chang in full view.

Fei Chang was furious. He is a guest of the Zhang family, where has he been insulted like this? Besides, tonight I wanted to humiliate Xun Zhen, how could I be humiliated by him? Immediately unable to hold back his anger, he stood up with a flick of his sleeves, and he scolded Xun Zhen, "Do you want to humiliate me?"

The hall was quiet. Dozens of people in the hall were watching. Most of the guests who came tonight knew what Zhang Zhi was for "feasting" Xun Zhen, and many people gloated and thought: "Zhang Zhizheng can't find an excuse to insult you, but you Xun family took the initiative to give him the handle. Haha, It's all right now, after a little midnight, the good show finally begins."

Unfortunately, before Zhang Zhi took the opportunity to get angry, Xun Zhen took the opportunity to turn her face.

He poured the wine from the wine bottle on Fei Chang's face, threw the wine bottle down, and with a "bang", he pulled out the sword from his waist with his backhand, and shouted angrily: "My famous family in China, I am the postal supervisor in the north. With the word 'nuer', who does Fei Cheng call him?"

Fei Chang was stimulated by him and wanted to draw his sword.

Xun Zhen took two steps, kicked the verdict a few times, and approached him with a sword. Do you compare sword skills with Zhen?" He drank like spring thunder, his voice echoed in the hall, and the singing and dancing girls in the hall were horrified, the piano stopped, the song stopped, and the dance stopped.

He retreated in silence for a half night. Everyone thought he had no guts, and they all despised him, but they did not expect that he would suddenly attack. At this time, they saw him holding a sharp sword, aggressive, angry, and murderous, as if It was as if the next moment was about to kill each other, everyone was caught off guard, either dazed or surprised.

Xun Zhen took another step forward, forcing Fei Chang in front of him, the blade of which was only an inch or two away from him, and shouted angrily, "Does Fei Cheng think he is brave? There are hundreds of dead men in the Shen family, and Shen Xun is my sword! Are you? Are you braver than Shen Tun, or are you braver than a hundred dead men of the Shen family? Today I kill you, like killing a dog!" Looking at Xun Zhen's experience over the past two years, the more critical moment he was, the more amazing he was able to show. His valour, and not long after he slayed Shen Tun, this anger was so powerful that one dared not look directly at him.

Everyone in the seat was horrified.

Zhang Zhi and everyone held their breath. The Southern Supervisory Post lost its color. With a "thump", Fei Tong accidentally knocked over the wine glass.

Fei Chang was forced by him to take a few steps back, until he leaned against the pillar behind his back, and there was really no way to retreat, so he barely stood up, avoiding Xun Zhen's compelling gaze, and hurriedly looking left and right, his hand on the hilt of the sword, he didn't. Dare to draw the sword.

Xun Zhen turned to Zhang Zhi, held his sword and said, "Zhen is in Xingxing County, all evils have been eliminated, only Yang Zhai remains. I am the postal supervisor of the north, and Yang Zhai is also in my department! Therefore, if we do not get rid of it for the time being, we must do it. Just because Yangzhai is the county government, and the lord of the government taught me, it would be better to let it go. Confucius said: 'Killing without teaching is called cruelty.' Son, Wang Fu, Chun Yu Deng, the lessons from the past!" Qian Rang stopped, showing his sharp edge.

Zhang Zhi wanted to call people into the hall, and when he heard the sound of the sword being unsheathed, it was Cheng Yan, Xiao Xia, and Xiao Ren who were under the hall drawing their swords, and their eyes were fierce.

Xiao Ren was steady, holding the sword in his hand, looking at the courtyard, looking for a way back.

Xiao Xia was smart, seeing that Zhang Zhi wanted to call someone, he strode forward, grabbed the big slave who had been talking to Zhang Zhi just now, put the sword on his neck, turned his face and shouted to the hall: One anger, blood splattered five steps. When the postmaster is angry, half of the blood is lost! Do you want to try our martial arts?" There were no competent people in the hall, and they were all in ambush outside the hall, Zhang Zhi paled and dared not answer. .

Cheng Yanti was dressed in clothes, strode up the hall, walked into the room, looked around with his sword, was angry, and the scars on his face were ferocious and scary, and scolded: "Who wants to try my old Cheng's seven-foot sword?" , the anger has long been difficult to contain, and then it erupted, and one sentence is worth ten sentences.

Everyone in the hall was pale and frightened, only the maid Chi, who was sitting under the hall, was full of brilliance in her beautiful eyes. Xun Zhen nodded slightly to her, thanking her for the hint just now, and took the opportunity to leave, holding a sword and bowing. No one in the hall dared to look down on him, and they all got up in a hurry to return the salute~www.wuxiaspot.com~ There are a few people. He got up from Taicang in a hurry, and took the wine bottles and food trays on the table to the ground. The drinks and dishes were splashed all over the place, and there was a sound of "bang bang bang".

Xiao Xia let go of Zhang Jianu. One of the servants and servants outside the hall was the servant of Fei Chang who used to use his nostrils at people in the county palace. Xiao Xia put his sword under his chin, frightening him, and asked, "Do you know the postmaster tonight? Are you angry?" The little official was so frightened that he fell to the ground. Xiao Xia laughed, followed by Xun Zhen at the entrance of the hall, and Cheng Yan guarded him one after another, with Xiao Ren leading the way, and the four of them walked away.

All the singing and dancing girls in the hall were so frightened that they fainted, and the rest sat on the ground, unable to get up for a while.

In the hall, Zhang Zhi and everyone lost their souls and were speechless.

The postal affairs of the Southern Superintendent had nothing to do with him, so he was the first to come back to his senses and secretly startled: "How can there be so many warriors under the Xun family?"

He didn't know that as long as he chose the right person, trusted his heart, and tied them with kindness and righteousness, even cowards could bravely protect the Lord. Cheng Yan, for example, is definitely not a warrior. When he was bullied by Gao Su in the past, he never thought of resisting. But like Xiao Ren, Xiao Xia, etc., he is a person who knows how to repay his kindness, so after receiving Xun Zhen's great kindness, he can come forward at a moment like tonight and repay him desperately.

——

1. When people hear his name today, there are few people who don't scold him.

This is said by Song people, from Fei Gun's "Liangxi Manzhi".

2. Hearing your brother and wife's body length, she must be good at dancing, so why not invite them to drink together.

Xiahou Dun had done a similar thing: "Xiahou Dun was the prefect of Chen Liu, and he was a strategist, and he ordered his wife to give a banquet. Zhen thought that 'the customs of the last days are indecent and righteous.'

Compared with Zhang Zhi, Xiahou Dun has gone too far in this matter. After all, Fei Chang was a guest of Zhang Zhi's family, Wei Zhen was a "strategist", a subordinate, and the son of Wei Zi. Cao Cao raised an army against Dong Zhuo, and Wei Zi made a great effort.
