  Chapter 327 No Good Banquet

  "Customs of the Customs": "The long official's horse is fat, the viewer is quick, and the rider is happy with his words, and he drives endlessly until he dies." During the May 4th Movement, Mr. Cai Yuanpei quoted this allusion in his resignation announcement on May 9. The original words: "I am tired, 'the one who kills the king and the horse is on the other side of the road'".

   To put it simply, the person who kills your horse is the one who is applauded by those around you, that is, "killing with praise".

  Yan Shifan is flattering himself on the surface, but in fact he is flattering and killing. Without Yan Shifan's flattery, Luo Longwen's accusations would be overshadowed dryly. Zhu Ping'an knows this well.

  Yan Shifan, Luo Longwen and others sang together, clearly giving themselves a blow!

  Can Huiyuan not be punctual? Of course not! Then why are you, Zhu Pingan, not punctual? Is it because of your poor personal character or too bad personal character? ! See the big from the small, but you are not punctual as a Huiyuan, and you don’t know what to do if you are untrustworthy, so can you, Zhu Pingan, be worthy of the title of Huiyuan?

  Listening to Luo Longwen's negative accusation, Zhu Ping'an smiled. It's interesting, it really is a good feast.

  The invitation card I received stated that it was: It's a day to drink and drink, and I have gathered and scattered, and I don't know the night. Waving the stag, Jin people often wave the tail of the stag to help the conversation. In layman's terms, the meaning of the invitation is, today, we will drink, drink, and brag about B, starting at nine or ten in the morning, and three games at six or seven in the afternoon, without staying overnight.

It was almost ten o'clock when I received the invitation. I guess the banquet had already started at that time. Although I rode over on the dark horse as soon as I received the invitation, I was late when I received the invitation. Already doomed.

  No matter what the reason is, being late is already a fait accompli, so it depends on how you deal with it.

  Everyone at the banquet also turned their attention to Zhu Ping'an, wanting to see how Zhu Ping'an would respond.

   "Peace is late, and I will punish myself with three cups of apology."

In the eyes of everyone, Zhu Pingan bowed his hands and made a confession, then went straight to the corner of the banquet, took a wine glass from the tray carried by the maid who was shuttled around, and received it from the wine stream where the water was flowing. He poured a full glass of wine, then drank it all in one gulp, and punished himself with three glasses of wine in one breath.

If you speak truthfully, on the one hand, others will feel that you are really making excuses, thinking that you know your mistakes and will not correct them; on the other hand, if you speak truthfully, you are clearly accusing Yan Shifan. He just praised you, and you turn around and beat him up. It's what people look down on the most.

  Then the road is too congested, pull it down, it’s not modern!

  In any case, the other party must have other countermeasures in order to achieve their goals. After all, they are waiting for work at leisure, so they must have been prepared long ago.

  So, it’s better to accept this basin of dirty water so readily.

Zhu Ping'an's response was beyond the expectations of Luo Longwen and others. He had prepared a full stomach of speeches, but who knew that Zhu Ping'an would "admit" it so readily, which made Luo Longwen feel like hitting the cotton with an iron fist. Feel.

  Humiliation, there is nothing greater than shamelessness; nothing can improve it.

  Others were quite satisfied with Zhu Ping'an's straightforward attitude of admitting his mistakes. Moreover, some people could guess the truth a little bit, so they appreciated Zhu Ping'an's reaction a little more.

"When Ping'an first came to the capital, he was not familiar with the road, but he took a lot of wrong roads, so he came late. I hope you seniors will forgive me. Seniors are like the brightness of the bright moon, and Ping An is no more than a shining fire. How dare the Yingying fire dare to fight the sun?" The moon is competing for brilliance, and it is not enough to look up to peace, so how dare you have a heart of contempt."

  After punishing himself with three cups, Zhu Pingan bowed to everyone again, and explained calmly.

   "Huh, Hui Yuanlang is a good eloquent."

  Luo Longwen sneered when he heard this, and said sarcastically, alluding to Zhu Pingan's nonsense.

"Hanzhang, that's all. Zihou is very human, so how could he break his promise to us. I think it's probably because the slaves in the mansion cheated and played tricks. The invitation was delivered late, and we will settle accounts with them after the banquet. Hu, come and take a seat."

  Yan Shifan pressed his hands down on Luo Longwen, dismissing the fact that Zhu Ping'an was late, and then looked at Zhu Ping'an again, shaking his fat face and waving his hands to signal Zhu Ping'an to take the seat.

   "Brother Donglou is generous, I can't wait." Luo Longwen naturally followed Yan Shifan's lead, and no longer pursued Zhu Ping'an's lateness, and took advantage of the situation to flatter Yan Shifan again.

   "Thank you, Mr. Yan." Zhu Pingan thanked with a grateful expression, and then took a seat in the corner of the banquet.

If we hadn't known what kind of person Yan Shifan was in history, we would have been moved by Yan Shifan's words today, crying and clamoring for us to be friends with local tyrants, but Yan Shifan himself has long been listed in the history books After a deep understanding, the director who is dismounted today is probably Yan Shifan. Of course, I still have to pretend to be grateful.

  Yan Shifan looked at Zhu Pingan's tears of gratitude, and smiled with satisfaction. Fourteen-year-old Huiyuan is smart, but he still has little experience.

The atmosphere at the banquet became active again. Zhu Pingan sat in the corner and watched everyone at the banquet quietly. The banquet was roughly divided into three waves. The largest wave was the Yan Party who loyally supported Yan Shifan, and the smallest wave was just There are a few people, but when they get together, they are faintly hostile to Yan Shifan; the other wave is the neutral faction, there are probably seven or eight people.

  Sitting at the banquet, Zhu Ping'an had a deeper and more intuitive understanding of Yan Shifan. This fat man is very arrogant, as if no one else was around, but he can really talk, and the conversation is flying.

Sitting next to Yan Shifan is Comrade Ouyang, the second candidate in this test. Yan Shifan has just introduced Comrade Ouyang to many people. .

  At the banquet, everyone played poems and wine orders. Comrade Ouyang has never lost, and there are often good sentences, which attract everyone's praise, and let everyone praise Comrade Ouyang.

Zhu Pingan's performance at the banquet was mediocre, and he deliberately lost twice in the drinking order. Even if he won at other times, his poems were so-so. one head.

  Actually, it wasn't that Zhu Pingan didn't want to perform well, but that he couldn't. Through observation, Zhu Pingan had a clear understanding of this banquet. The theme of this banquet was summed up to restrain Zhu Yang and Ouyang.

  Besides, at the banquet, many people came to toast by congratulating Zhu Pingan on the name of Huiyuan, which made Zhu Pingan drink a lot, and his head began to feel dizzy. Even if he really wanted to do well, it would not be easy.

   This is preparing for Comrade Ouyang's imperial examination, stepping on his own stepping stone, let Comrade Ouyang earn his reputation.

   From the fact that Xiao Comrade Ouyang lives in the Yan Mansion, it can be seen that Comrade Ouyang is a relative of Yan Shifan, or a close one. He has other interests in private, and it is logical for Yan Shifan to help Xiao Comrade Ouyang.

  In this banquet, I am destined to be a supporting role. From the moment I received the invitation, I was destined to be a stepping stone for Comrade Ouyang.
