Rise From the Humble

"The word "thank you" is too easy to say. Why don't you, Master Yan, give us a glass of wine to show your gratitude?"

As soon as Zhu Pingan finished speaking, Luo Longwen, who was sitting at the table below Yan Shifan, raised his eyebrows and smiled at Zhu Pingan, and asked in a dark voice.

"Lord Luo's words are very true."

Zhu Pingan nodded and smiled, then filled a glass of wine for himself, left the table, and came to Yan Shifan with the glass in both hands, and toasted Yan Shifan with both hands: "Since entering Beijing, Ping An has been taken care of by Mr. Yan many times, and Ping An is grateful." , today I would like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude to Mr. Yan.”

"Zihou's words are serious, it's just a little effort." Yan Shifan smiled and shook his head, stretched out his greasy hand and patted Zhu Pingan's shoulder twice.

In an instant, two greasy handprints were left on Zhu Ping'an's brand-new champion uniform, which was even reflective in the sun.

Zhu Pingan turned a blind eye to this, as if he was blind, and the gratitude on his face did not change at all.

"Sir Yan, with a little effort, he sent Ping An to the blue sky. How dare you forget Ping An? Thank you so much, Mr. Yan."

Zhu Pingan raised his glass to toast with both hands, on the surface he looked respectful, and his gratitude seemed very sincere, but in his heart he silently greeted Lord Xia Yan's female relatives.

Yan Shifan was very satisfied with Zhu Ping's sense of humor. He patted Zhu Ping'an's shoulder twice again with his oily paws, and then grabbed a wine glass with his fat, oily hands. Luo Longwen next to him generously filled Yan Shifan with wine.

Yan Shifan casually picked up the wine glass with one hand, shook the glass towards Zhu Pingan from a distance, and drank it down;

After toasting, Zhu Ping'an returned to his seat with four greasy handprints, the innocent smile on his face remained calm and calm.

Luo Longwen next to him said it was a pity when he saw this. He originally wanted to see Zhu Ping'an's dissatisfied expression after being crowned champion with grease, and then took the opportunity to make trouble. He didn't expect Zhu Ping'an to turn a blind eye.

However, the east side was not bright and the west side was bright, Luo Longwen was obviously prepared, seeing that there was no chance to attack Zhu Pingan from here, he attacked Zhu Pingan from another breakthrough.

"Speaking of Zhuangyuan Building, Lord Shang and I were there when we were visiting Zhuangyuan Lang in the Zhuangyuan Building that day, and we also shared some immature experiences with Zhuangyuan Lang. Would you like to have a drink with me, Monk?" Luo Longwen sat there, looking at Zhu Ping'an like a poisonous snake spitting out his seeds, and asked gloomily.

Well

This is Luo Longwen. The enthusiastic Luo Longwen in Zhuangyuanlou back then was too fake.

Seeing Luo Longwen's attitude of determined to get Zhu Ping'an drunk before sleeping, Zhu Ping'an only had this sentence in his heart: If you come out to fool around, you will have to pay back sooner or later. I just hid a lot of wine at the big favor banquet, and it seems I can't avoid it at this small favor banquet.

The opening toast is something that cannot be avoided at the wine table. Since you can't avoid it, you might as well face it and maybe drink less.

"How could it be? The wine glass is empty. Please wait until Ping An fills up the wine before greeting your lords." Zhu Pingan looked at Luo Longwen and smiled slightly.

So, Zhu Ping'an held the wine pot in one hand and the wine glass in the other, and toasted a glass of wine from Yan Shifan's right hand.

The process is generally to ask for the title, to meet you, to pour wine, to toast with both hands, and please take care of me in the future. Anyway, it is just an official conversation, which is not too different from modern times. Happy to clink glasses.

When he paid tribute to Shen Lian, Shen Lian looked at Zhu Ping'an, smiled, and said:

"Zhu Ping'an, Zhu Zihou, I finally know your name. The fight over the purse in Renning Street was thanks to the little brother's upright words, and he pointed out the key points. Otherwise, it would have been difficult for me to punish that rascal."

"Haha, Master Shen is joking. Even if I don't say it, Master Shen will definitely have a way to punish that rogue."

Zhu Ping'an was a little excited when he heard Shen Lian calling him his little brother. Shen Lian was a famous figure in history. One of the people I admire more.

However, thinking of the scene when I first met Shen Lian in a small restaurant last time, Shen Lian immediately scolded Yan Song arrogantly in the restaurant after drinking, and the following things, I can also see that this historical celebrity I admire is 100% upright Yes, but some of them are inflexible. In addition, they are a bit arrogant in their hatred of evil.

At that time, while admiring him, I felt a little sweat for him.

Toasting at this moment, Zhu Pingan thought in his heart that after a few days after the training at the Honglu Temple of the Ministry of Rites, he would find an opportunity to remind Shen Lian that the current time when His Majesty treats Yan Song is prosperous, and it is not a good time to impeach Yan Song. Shen Lian proposed the "Ten Shu Sins" as early as in history. In addition, the content of "Ten Shu Crimes" is also open to discussion. Pay attention to the terms and expressions. Some places in this letter seem to scold Yan Song, but in fact they have stepped on Emperor Jiajing's tail. Emperor Jiajing is such a face-saving person. , especially those who are eccentric and jealous, such "Ten Sin" is destined to be futile. Not only will it fail to bring down Yan Song, but it will also annoy Emperor Jiajing.

In history, Shen Lian mentioned "Ten Sin of Crimes" when Yan Song's holy coupons were in prosperity. One day, Emperor Jiajing was furious and sent someone to arrest Shen Lian, and ordered that Shen Lian framed the ministers of the court, punished Shen Lian with a cane in public, cut off his official position, and punished him to be a commoner in a remote place. A few years later, he was killed by Yan Shifan again.

Therefore, Zhu Pingan thought that after the training, he would find an opportunity to remind Xian Lian to avoid this tragedy.

"The "Prodigy Poems" written by Mr. Shen in the restaurant that day was deeply appreciated by Ping An."

In order to remind Shen Lian to think about it later, it was necessary to gain Shen Lian's trust, so Zhu Pingan said this without leaving a trace when toasting.

Shen Lian was startled at first, and then he remembered the two "Prodigy Poems" that he had improvised that day:

If you take a break and study hard when you are young, you will be able to stand up with money; if you are strict with the prime minister, you will definitely use rich people.

The emperor attaches great importance to heroes, and his articles teach and teach; all things are of inferior quality, but strictness is the only one that is high.

These two poems were changed to satirize Yan Song. Zhu Pingan said that he thought so, which meant that Shen Lian's revision was good, that is to say, he agreed with Shen Lian's version of these two prodigy poems, and then hinted that he also liked Yan Song. There's nothing good about this old thing.

"My little brother, who is the top scholar, must also have some excellent works. If you don't mind, you can come to my humble room someday and let's talk about it together."

Shen Lian understood Zhu Pingan's hint and nodded with a smile.
