Chapter 66 Xuanzhou Xie Yulou
Stacked Towers, more people are called Xie Yu Towers.
This is a building that is famous for celebrities and famous for another traffic celebrity. At that time, the poet immortal Li Bai drew a knife to cut off the water, raised a glass to eliminate sorrows, drank and said goodbye to write "Xuanzhou Xie Huanlou Farewell School Shuyun", which created a famous scene through the ages.
Originally, the Northern and Southern Dynasties were famous men, Xie Hao of the Xie clan of Chen County served as the Taishou of Xuancheng, and built a first floor in Lingyang Mountain in the north of the county town, called "Gao Zhai". In the Tang Dynasty, in order to commemorate Xie Hao, this building was rebuilt, and it was renamed Beiwang Tower in the north of the county office. In the fifteenth year of Tang Xiantong a hundred years ago, Xuanzhou Thorn Shi Dugulin rebuilt this building and renamed it Stacked Tower. No matter how the name of the building is changed, more people call it Xie Yu Lou and Xie Gong Building.
Looking at the scenery of Xuanzhou City from Xie Yulou, it is like a freehand ink painting scroll that is sparse and distant, peaceful and quiet, swaying out of the dust: the city is in the palm of your hand, and the mountains and rivers are in your mind, but you can see the mountains and rivers staggered, the longitudinal and horizontal, the smoke and haze change, and the clouds and trees shine, and the north looks at the Jingting Pavilion to rise in the middle of the Sichuan Plain, and the east sends two waters tactfully between the white clouds.
This winter day is both ordinary and very special for Xie Huanlou, because His Royal Highness King Deng chartered the second floor, and it is said that in order to enjoy with the people, the whole building was not chartered, and the first floor was left to the people.
It was lunchtime, and a rickety old man, dressed in rags, with fluffy hair and a muddy face, was about to plunge down the stairs and go upstairs. The staircase was guarded by two guards who stopped him at once.
Dr. Jiu hurriedly came over and grabbed this person, scolded him, and then said, "His Royal Highness King Deng is entertaining distinguished guests upstairs, and it is a blessing for you to be able to eat on the first floor." ”
The old man asked: "What kind of distinguished guest, can you still let His Highness personally feast, don't you trick me, think I am dirty and don't let me go upstairs?" ”
"Hmph, even a man like you deserves to ask? I heard that it was a distinguished guest from the palace, and our shopkeeper went to serve it himself. ”
At this moment, there was a thick slap from upstairs, as if the wine jar had been slammed on the table. The shopkeeper naturally did not dare to be presumptuous, only King Deng.
After a while, the shopkeeper wiped his sweat and went downstairs, looking dazed. Seeing that Dr. Jiu hurriedly ordered: "Go, take a small red clay stove, a clay pot and a wine jug, and burn a good charcoal fire, and I will send it to His Highness." ”
As soon as Dr. Jiu went to prepare, the old man asked, "Shopkeeper Xie, is Your Highness angry with you?" ”
"No, His Royal Highness has always loved the people like a son, how can it be so, it is the distinguished guests from Beijing who dislike the wine here is not good, and even say that it is for pigs. That's the best Shixian wine in the building! ”
When the guests in the building heard this, they immediately felt that they were all looked down upon, and the good wine and famous wine representing their hometown were so belittled, that they couldn't get along with themselves, and everyone spoke against them. Shopkeeper Xie felt a lot better at this time, but advised everyone not to be angry.
"I wondered, what good wine can the guest have at such a young age, and what do you want these stoves to do?" After saying that, he hurriedly brought the items brought by Dr. Jiu upstairs.
Originally, the guests downstairs were speculating and crusading, but it didn't take long for one of the sloppy men to stand up, sniff his nose and ask, "What does this smell like, why is it so fragrant?" ”
Some people asked blankly, "No, I didn't smell it." ”
Slowly, more people smelled it, and a strong smell of wine spread throughout the building.
The first man to reflect pulled Dr. Jiu and said, "It's so fragrant, what kind of wine is this?" Why don't you sell it to me, I'm afraid I won't be able to pay for it? ”
"Guest, I misunderstood. The small one is also the first time to smell this kind of fragrance, listen to our shopkeeper said, this is the wine brought by the guest himself, to the stove is estimated to be hot wine. ”
Shopkeeper Xie went downstairs at this time, and when he saw many people gathered at the staircase, he smiled awkwardly and said, "The distinguished guest said that he didn't need to wait, so he let me come down." ”
He was just about to put his feet on the ground when suddenly the sound of a glass breaking sounded upstairs. Then the sound of slapping the table and arguing swept like a wave.
"Your Highness, I didn't expect you to do these things in Xuanzhou, what kind of face do you have to go to the official family?"
"Nonsense, this is a rumor, this king is innocent, how can you be framed!"
"The evidence is conclusive, how else does Your Highness want to deny it? Since His Royal Highness refuses to admit it and is unwilling to change his ways, he is also considered to have done his duty, the chapter has been prepared, and he has sent someone to report to the official family for 300 miles urgently, so that the official family can deal with it! ”
"Hmph, such a false accusation is not tolerated. This king immediately went back to repair a book, and saw if the official family believed in you or this king! ”
Soon, Li Congyi went back with the guards. The crowd went from silence to mad boiling. King Deng and the people from the palace had a quarrel, it seemed that King Deng had done something that he shouldn't have done.
It must be a great thing to be able to make such a fuss, otherwise you can't tear your face. Everyone has a gossip heart, especially the affairs of the heavenly family, and it is a topic of conversation after dinner.
In the crowd, the first man to smell the wine rushed upstairs and followed the rich aroma of wine to find the two people on the table by the window.
Both young men were dignified, one of them more handsome and the other more athletic.
"Two distinguished guests, this wine is extraordinary, I wonder if the old man can taste it?"
The sturdy man twisted his head to the side, signaling that he didn't want to take care of it, and the handsome man shook his head and said, "There is only a small jar of this wine, and there is no one in the palace, and we spent twenty yuan to get such a small jar." ”
This small jar weighs only two catties, and a pound of wine costs ten yuan, why don't you grab it? The more precious it is, the more stirring it is.
The corners of the man's mouth were already splashing with saliva, and he swallowed his saliva and said: "There is a fate to meet thousands of miles away, and there is no chance to meet on the other side, it is fate to be able to drink together, the more precious and rare, the more you have to drink with people who have fate, otherwise what is the meaning of drinking?" ”
"Haha, that's interesting. How do you feel that we are related to you? With this wine, I just want to drink a glass of wine with Shixian in Xie Yulou for a hundred years. Furthermore, the person who is destined may not be someone else. ”
"In ancient times, Cao Cao Qingmei boiled wine and talked about heroes, and now there are distinguished guests cooking wine in the tandoor to talk about fate. Why is the first person who can smell the aroma of wine is a certain family, why is the first person who dares to come up to meet friends is also a certain family, and why is the first person to have a poetic immortal legacy in Xie Huanlou is also a certain family? It is enough to show that the person who is destined is a certain family. ”
"Interesting, interesting, Brother Deng, why don't you let this strong man have two drinks together?"
These two people are Zhen Feng and Landing, who had just had a big quarrel with King Deng at the banquet, and Landing, as if he was in no mood and didn't want to pay attention to it, Zhen Feng took it upon himself to pour a small glass of hot wine for this man.
"Little brother, are you reluctant, this glass of wine is also missing, right?"
"This wine has an abnormal aroma and is very strong, I'm afraid you won't be able to stand it."
"The little brother also looks down on the Sprinkle family too much! If it's a man, he should use the bowl. ”
A large bowl was placed on the table, the scalded wine was poured, the rich aroma of wine overflowed, the man inhaled sharply, and his eyes were about to fall into the bowl. When Zhen Feng finished pouring the wine, it was estimated that a bowl would cost more than half a catty, and he couldn't wait to pick up the bowl and drink it.
"Slowly, you have to drink this wine slowly, otherwise you will get drunk easily."
Originally, the man wanted to taste it first, but when he heard this, he said: "I said that your little brother's mother-in-law and mother are up, and you don't get drunk with a thousand cups, so it's okay." Borrow flowers to offer Buddha, meet friends with wine, and sprinkle your family to give you a bowl. Then he took the bowl and poured it into his mouth.
After a bowl, the man burped, and the hot breath exhaled had a strong smell of wine. After a while, the man began to float, and it didn't take long for him to crumble.
