159 Worship(1/2)
A eunuch's rights all come from his master, that is, if others are not afraid of his master, they will immediately become intimidated.
Moreover, when Eunuch Liu was surrounded by a dozen young scholars with angry faces, he was completely cowed.
He said some auspicious words incoherently, then bowed and left with an embarrassed look on his face.
Yu Honggao looked at Shi Zhongkui with some worry. Others also understood that this Eunuch Liu must hate Shi Zhongkui to death.
But Shi Zhongkui didn't care at all.
He even sneered in his heart.
If you offend me, I will make you kneel down and beg yourself in a few days.
However, after hitting the slave in the face, he had to find a way to appease Jia Yuanchun.
Even if he doesn't want to have contact with Jia Yuanchun, there is no need to become enemies with her.
The best situation is that the emperor thinks that he does not like Yuanchun, but Yuanchun thinks that his brother-in-law is one of his own.
There is someone in the palace, and there may be some useful news at some point.
If Jia Yuanchun really shows his value, it is not impossible to help her in turn, or even help the Jia family.
As long as it does not involve the hatred of parents or the hatred of taking away one's wife, there are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests.
Shi Zhongkui rolled his eyes and had an idea in his mind.
As the eldest daughter of the second wife of Jia Jiarong's palace, Yuan Chun cared most about the Jia family and Jia Baoyu.
And this 'Jia family' is more of the second bedroom of Rongguo Mansion.
But Jia Baoyu is a smart but ignorant idiot. If you want to teach him to study and improve, you might as well focus on Jia Zheng.
As a daughter, Jia Zheng's importance in her heart can definitely exceed that of Jia Baoyu.
You just need to take Jia Zheng with you when you take on errands, and Yuanchun will be grateful.
After all, the greater the official position of his biological father, the more helpful and protective he was to Yuanchun.
At the same time, by pinching Jia Zheng, he can also be used to threaten Jia Mu and Yuan Chun, without worrying that Jia Zheng will be as ungrateful as Jia Yucun and beat him up.
Shaking his head at Yu Honggao, Shi Zhongkui quickly showed a confident smile on his face.
When everyone saw his expression, they immediately thought of what he had done in the past few months.
Moreover, he was able to advance two levels in three months and become the third-ranking official in the Hanlin Academy. There was no one in the entire Great Zhou Dynasty for hundreds of years.
On the contrary, I felt that the man named Liu should pray so that he would not be hated by him.
Yu Honggao also thought of this and couldn't help but sigh secretly, and then smiled again.
If the apprentice is too smart and powerful, the teacher will feel uncomfortable.
No one is causing trouble, and the wedding will of course go on.
It's just that Shi Zhongkui's parents died young and there are no direct elders in Daxing.
He didn't even have an uncle with the same grandfather, so he could only worship in front of his parents' tablets, and then salute Yu Honggao and Yuan Donggang who appeared as teachers.
But when the couple bowed to each other, Shi Zhongkui became embarrassed.
Others are one-on-one, but I am one-on-two.
The people around him were stunned when they saw him, and when they looked at him with his head covered, they couldn't notice what was going on around him at all.
Hearing someone shouting "husband and wife bow to each other", Baochai and Yingchun naturally bowed to Shi Zhongkui who was standing in the middle.
I laughed immediately.
Even the maids around Baochai and Yingchun covered their mouths with blushing faces and laughed silently.
After Shi Zhongkui was awakened by the smile, he hurriedly saluted Baochai on the left, and then saluted Yingchun on the right.
You can never go wrong by going left first and then right.
Then there was a cry of "sent into the bridal chamber".
Shi Zhongkui did not need to follow him to the bridal chamber, but began to entertain the guests who came to attend his wedding today.
A 5-jin jar of Babao wine was delivered to every table by the servants, and at least 40 5-jin jars of wine were placed on a row of four long tables in the yard.
These 40 wine jars alone are equivalent to 20,000 taels in silver.
Including 20 banquet tables and a 5-pound eight-treasure wine for each banquet, it is 30,000 taels of silver.
It immediately caused the guests present to take a deep breath.
No one bothered to eat the food. When the table was served, someone lifted the wine jar on the table and started pouring wine for the people at the table.
There are 12 people per table, and the cups are all 2 taels.
After two rounds, the jar of eight-treasure wine was gone, which meant that 500 taels of silver went into everyone's stomach.
This isn't drinking at all, it's just drinking money.
But the more this happened, the drinking capacity of the guests seemed to have increased a lot.
Not long after the banquet started, as long as someone waved to the servants waiting beside the eucalyptus, someone would immediately pick up a jar from the eucalyptus and bring it over.
Now the younger one suddenly became excited.
Although the older ones have a reserved face, they drink at a very slow pace.
Shi Zhongkui was holding a wine glass, and accompanied by Yu Tongfu and Shi Guangzhu, he first finished paying respects to the teacher, behind the table of the elders with the highest official position and seniority.
Among the 20 guests at the table, some of them drank two taels, and some of them drank half a pound.
As soon as I walked to the table where Niu Jizong, Liu Fang, Hou Xiaokang and other distinguished guests were sitting, I immediately saw three large bowls of Babao wine that had been poured in advance.
To be honest, Shi Zhongkui didn't like this kind of mixed wine mixed with 9 pounds of white wine, one pound of Chenghuang medicinal wine and many tonics.
I really want to drink it. Not to mention Lingpeach wine, even Chenghuang medicinal wine tastes more mellow than this wine.
But he looked down on Babao Liquor, while others thought it was a good thing.
Since someone wants to drink wine, Shi Zhongkui certainly won't give in. Anyway, if the wine enters the mouth, it is equivalent to entering the space farm.
Not to mention being fed by others in vain.
He picked up the bowl of sea, which weighed at least two kilograms, and said with a smile to the twelve distinguished nobles, "My nephew has thanked all the uncles and thanked all the brothers for their compliments. However, if you finish this bowl, you all have to have a cup with it."
After saying that, without waiting for Niu Jizong and others to speak, he drank it all in two or three gulps.
"good."
Most of the people around him were looking at him, and when they saw him drinking down a large bowl, they immediately cheered.
Niu Jizong and others saw that Shi Zhongkui was holding the empty bowl, so they could only pour wine to accompany him.
Shi Zhongkui then put down the bowl and cupped his hands around him, picked up the second bowl, and said with a smile, "Uncles and brothers, if someone has a drinking capacity, don't force it."
Seeing what he said, Niu Jizong and others were not willing to lose face.
"Okay, the bridegroom has said so. I have to accompany you even if I risk my life."
A cup of it for myself and others only cost 2 taels, while Shi Zhongkui's cup cost 2 jin. Even though we were accompanied by twelve people, we still had an advantage.
Only a few people who have drank with him understand that if he drinks three drinks like this, even a moderate drinker will have to lie down.
After all, Babaojiu is about 30 degrees.
And this is just the beginning, I and others will definitely drink again later.
After the three large bowls were finished, everyone present cheered again.
The people at Niu Jizong's table had drank at least two drinks before. Adding these three drinks, it was equivalent to a pound.
Immediately, some people felt that the alcohol was rising and their heads began to feel dizzy.
At the third table, after three bowls and three glasses of wine, someone almost vomited.
And seeing that he has served three tables in a row and drank 12 kilograms, nearly two and a half jars of eight-treasure wine, some people will start to worry that there is not enough wine.
He muttered, "Quickly change to a small cup. I've told you that the bridegroom has an amazing capacity for drinking. If he drinks table after table, he will finish the wine."
As soon as this was said, many people reacted and hurriedly shouted to the people at the fourth table to change their wine glasses.
Shi Zhongkui smiled, smiled and saluted the people at the fourth table, and then raised a glass of wine to toast everyone.
After walking around for half an hour, I saw that although his steps were obviously sloppy, he didn't need anyone to support him when walking.
Some people couldn't help but sigh, "The groom is indeed sincere and generous today."
Everyone agreed, and then someone shouted, "Bridal officer, you have drank half of this wine, please quickly order someone to get it."
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but look at the long eucalyptus, and saw that there were only a dozen wine jars left on it. They also thought that Babao wine could not be drank casually at any time, and they couldn't help but started mumbling.
Shi Zhongkui was eager to leave with an excuse. When these guys were almost done drinking and then clean up the mess, no one would be able to stand and go to the bridal chamber.
Entering the middle courtyard, Yu Tongfu and Shi Guangzhu, who followed him in, saw that Shi Zhongkui's steps were not frivolous at all, so they knew that he was just pretending.
And I probably won’t be able to get him drunk today.
But when I saw him going to the hut, I started laughing again.
