"Okay, a good sentence of scum, a good measuring stick!" Before the wine glass fell, not far away, a loud praise had already sounded. Immediately after, He Zhizhang, Zhang Ruoxu and Bi Gou, three old-timers, slowly walked over.

Obviously, the three of them heard the commotion here and came over to check the situation. When he landed, Lu Xuan's mind regained clarity, and he didn't dare to chase Zhang Qian's drunken madness anymore. And Zhang Qian, who didn't expect that he was upset about Zhang Ruoxu, was overheard by the three old-timers, and suddenly, he stepped forward and didn't hide, and he was embarrassed to hold a glass of liquor.

"Did you say those words casually, or did you write an article before?!" Bi Gou, whose beard is white, is not as forward-looking as young people. first glared at Lu Xuan, and then walked towards Zhang Qian with a smile.

"The junior just said it in passing, to cheer everyone up." Zhang Qian had no way to hide, so he had to answer honestly, "The younger generation is not good at writing articles." ”

"Since you have such talent, how can you say that you are not good at writing articles, and young people must not be too humble!" Bi Gou glanced at him with a smile, and ordered very domineeringly, "Go back and copy it out, and ask someone to send it to the old man's mansion." The title is just "Speaking of Wine". The most important thing in writing an article is to express one's mind directly, as for the choice of words and sentences, as long as it is smooth, there is no need to be too fancy! ”

"This ......" Zhang Qian's head was suddenly as big as a fight, and he didn't know how to refuse, so that the old man Bi wouldn't be angry with himself. Seeing this, Zhang Ruoxu immediately kicked over, "I don't know where Long Weng's home is!" When you go back, just write, and then send it to the old man's house, and the old man will personally take you to Long Weng for guidance! ”

"Yes! Uncle Shi! Zhang Qian had no choice but to agree. At the same time, he secretly muttered in his heart that Zhang Ruo was not righteous, he knew that this was the case, and he really shouldn't have done that for him just now.

However, all the young talents around him looked at him one after another, one by one, and the envy on their faces was like a fake.

Bi Gou's career has been bumpy in recent years, and he is also an officialdom veteran who has been a scholar and drafted holy decrees for the emperor. At the same time, this person is also a Taishan Beidou-level figure in the Tang Dynasty literary circle, and his influence is not inferior to He Zhizhang. When others go to Bifu to submit papers, it is difficult to say whether they can pass the gatehouse. And Zhang Qian, who was personally named by Bi seniors and asked to send the article to the house, actually wanted to push back and block, and Zhang Ruoxu actually had to agree to lead the way and nod!

"Isn't it just a few drunken words? We can say what we want to say. What is the measuring scale? If you drink too much rice wine and wine, the effect is not the same? "As the saying goes, people are more angry than people. Immediately, some people were angry and muttered under the table.

"Then when Lu Xuan was making trouble just now, why didn't I see you stand up and say drunk?" Wei Dao, who was eating and drinking at the same table, immediately moved the stool a little farther away from this person, and raised the bar with a sneer. "If you have the courage to carry Lu Xuan, now Bi Zhongshu invites him to deliver articles at his house, it is you!"

The young man who was not convinced was so red that he was scolded by Wei Dao, lowered his head, and did not dare to talk nonsense. And Wei Dao himself continued to focus on Bi Gou, He Zhizhang and others, looking at a few old-timers, who else do you plan to bring with you today besides Zhang Qian?

Sure enough, after asking the servant for wine, and taking a sip with Zhang Qian, Bi Gou turned his head to everyone, and said loudly with a heroic face again: "Some time ago in Hedong, the old man suddenly read a song "Plugged Song", in which there is a sentence "Drunk and lying on the battlefield, Mo Xiao, a few people came back to fight in ancient times!" ", can be called popular. I don't know if Wang Han Xiaoyou is here today? Let the old man toast you! ”

Before he finished speaking, Wang Han had already jumped up and bowed with his cup, "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be." Clumsy work can enter the eyes of the predecessors, and I am terrified! ”

"The old man is also here to join in the fun!" He Zhizhang smiled at Wang Han in a friendly manner, and also raised his wine glass high, "Among the poems that the old man has read, so far, this poem is the most!" ”

"Drunk and lying on the battlefield, don't smile, a few people have come back to fight in ancient times! After reading this sentence, the old man almost rushed to the side! Zhang Ruoxu was not to be left behind, and also raised a wine glass to invite Wang Han to drink.

And Wang Han can no longer maintain his previous freedom and calmness. His face was as red as if it had been burned, and his eyes were slightly red. His mouth opened and opened, but he couldn't say a word. In the end, just raise the chrysanthemum wine in your hand and swallow the siphon.

He Zhizhang and others accompanied him to take a few sips of wine and chatted with him about his experience in composing poetry. Immediately, he turned his attention to Zhang Jiuling. smiled and exaggerated Jiuling's sentence "The bright moon is born on the sea, and the end of the world is at this time", which will surely be passed down through the ages.

Zhang Jiuling came out early, and he was old friends with He Zhizhang and Zhang Ruoxu, and he also had several relationships with Bi Gou. Therefore, after listening to the praise of the three people, he was not as excited as Wang Han. just smiled and humbly said that he was just moaning bitterly for many days, and only then did he get a few words by chance, and he couldn't afford to be so praised by his predecessors. Then he humbly asked Bi Gou for some experience in writing articles, and then toasted together again to celebrate the luck of everyone getting together in Chang'an after a few years.

This feast, called appreciating chrysanthemums, actually contains the meaning of giving young people a chance to get ahead, so Bi Gou, He Zhizhang and Zhang Ruoxu, of course, can't keep catching up with Zhang Jiuling. Soon, he walked to another young talent named Mu Nanfeng with a wine glass, and commented on his most proud poems in public.

That Mu Nanfeng is about the same age as Wang Han, both in their early twenties, how can he maintain a normal heart in front of the three elders in the literary world? was so excited that he cried on the spot, and was teased by Zhang Ruoxu with a few words before he regained his composure.

Immediately, He Zhizhang and others turned to several other young talents who have been in the limelight recently, and talked to them one by one about their experiences in writing poems and articles. Whether it's a few words of praise or a few words of advice, the other party benefits a lot.

And on the young talent's side, seeing Zhang Ruoxu, who is the master, has come down and walked around. They began to go around the table and get to know each other. Some of them even took the opportunity to string to the side of the elders and toasted to Zhang Shuo, Wang Shi, Sima Chengzhen (Bai Yunzi) and other seniors. In this way, the atmosphere in the garden became more and more lively, and everyone was dazzled by the staggered drinks.

Although Zhang Qian's social skills are very average, today's borrowing of wine and tasting people made Lu Xuan ugly in public, and he was favored by Bi Gou, so it inevitably became one of the focuses of everyone's attention. Not only Zhang Jiuling, Zhang Xu, Wang Han and others who were introduced to him by Wang Zhihuan before, took the initiative to come over and toast with him, but also Mu Nanfeng, Zhao Zixiao, Cao Anshi and other talents who had not had time to get acquainted before, also took the initiative to find an opportunity to come forward and drink and chat with him.

Everyone is close in age, and they don't have time to have any misunderstandings and conflicts with each other, so they talk very speculatively, and before they know it, they forget the time.

Only Lu Xuan and a few genuine gentlemen, lacking ink in their stomachs, couldn't go with most of the literary seniors and talents of the same age present. And the cockfighting that they usually show off can't find anyone to cheer on today. Therefore, the more I drank, the more boring it became, scratching my ears and cheeks one by one, only hating that it was too late.

"Brother Lu, what's the origin of that surname Zhang, why not only Bi Gou has a blue eye for him, but Bai Yunzi's old bull's nose actually took the initiative to run for him?!" People who are bored like to cause trouble. A gentleman secretly poked Lu Xuan with his finger and asked in a low voice.

"Bai Yunzi? Looking for him? Lu Xuan finally stopped for a while, and was teased by this person, and immediately began to mess around again. His eyes quickly turned to Zhang Qian, and sure enough, he saw that the latter and the old Taoist priest Bai Yunzi were talking and laughing with a wine cup.

The voices of the people around him were noisy, so no matter how good his ears were, it was impossible for Lu Xuan to hear every word Zhang Qian and Bai Yunzi say clearly. Vaguely can only capture "Sun Imperial Doctor, medicinal wine, meridian ......" and so on, just a few words. Suddenly, in addition to jealousy, he was puzzled in his heart, and instinctively picked up an empty wine glass and shook it over.

After drinking at least four taels of liquor in a row, Zhang Qian was already in a half-drunk state, and he didn't notice that someone was quietly approaching him. Listening to the old Taoist priest Sima Chengzhen neither talked about health preservation with himself, nor did he talk about cultivating immortals with himself, but talked about himself and Sun Anzu as soon as he came up, how to use the characteristics of liquor that is far stronger than other liquor syrups to carry drugs to treat incurable diseases, and his good impression of this person suddenly increased.

"What the Taoist chief said is strong, and the master has a special noun, which is alcohol content." Since he has a good impression and the other party is sincerely seeking advice, Zhang Qian can't prevaricate indiscriminately. took Sima Chengzhen's words, and discussed with the other party with a smile, "Alcohol, the Taoist understands it as the essence of wine, so it's okay." In general, the higher the alcohol content, the stronger the alcohol. Well, let's mark it from zero to hundred, zero is no alcohol, a glass of plain water. 100 is all alcohol, and there is no adulteration in it! ”

"Well, that's straightforward!" Bai Yunzi Sima Chengzhen has a very high emotional intelligence, I don't know whether it is intentional or unintentional, every sentence is received from Zhang Qian's most wanted to express, "The degree is low, the essence of wine is less, it can't dissolve the medicinal power, and it can't pass through the blocked meridians." If the degree is high, it can better integrate the essence of the medicine into it, and when encountering blocked meridians, it is also like a silver needle poking the tendons! ”

"What are meridians, the younger generation doesn't understand. But some drugs are more soluble in alcohol! "It's rare for someone not to talk to himself about writing poems and making articles, Zhang Qian's mind is greatly relaxed, and he talks with relish, "but for people to drink, the alcohol content should not be too high." Otherwise, it is easy to hurt yourself! ”

Some of the wisdom crystallization of Taoism, although not as detailed as described by modern science, is also summarized by careful observation of various phenomena in nature, therefore, without Zhang Qian's detailed explanation, Sima Chengzhen accepted his point of view without difficulty, "Of course, the extremes of things must be opposed, and it is the reason between heaven and earth!" ”

"There's got to be a rough range, right?" Wei Dao came over at some point, pouting and shouting beside him, "Senior Bai Yunzi said that if the essence of wine is less, it will not be able to dissolve the medicinal power. You also said that if you have too much alcohol, it is easy to hurt your body. Can't you take a golden mean, which can dissolve the medicinal properties without harming the body? ”

"That's the wine in your glass, or the wine in this glass, and the alcohol content is higher." Zhang Qian thought about it and answered truthfully according to the medical knowledge he knew, "Probably, the alcohol content of seven has become the upper limit, and no matter how high it is, it will be harmful to the human body." ”

"Seventy percent, how do you know seventy percent of the essence of wine? Do you use your mouth? How is that possible? That Wei Dao was worthy of the scripture, and immediately frowned and compared with Zhang Qian.

"Yes, with your mouth?" Lu Xuan was worried that he would not have the opportunity to hold the previous "one-arrow hatred", and laughed and helped beside him. "Hahahaha, Zhang Yongzhao really has a good mouth! The essence of this wine is colorless and formless, and it is difficult to distinguish it from each other when mixed with water, but you insist on separating how much of the essence is contained in a glass of wine? How to divide it, do you use your mouth, and you can show everyone a product? ”
