Chapter 343: The Feast of the Hongmen
Gu Xing looked up at Chen Fusheng, who was still calm and light, chatting with the county lieutenant and me, as if he didn't pay attention to everything that happened just now.
The county lieutenant's wife walked to the chair and sat down with the support of the servant brother, supported her waist and cheered up, and said with a reluctant smile: "Then there is Mr. Lao Chen." After speaking, he glanced back at the county lieutenant, as if he was going to carry out this good show to the end.
The county lieutenant raised his hand and pressed it on the trembling wrist of the county lieutenant, but Gu Xing saw that the county lieutenant subconsciously retracted it, but he did not continue to insist, and let him hold it. It's just that the smile on his face gradually retracts until it disappears.
This somewhat unusual look naturally did not escape the eyes of the few people present, but they all chose to ignore it and continued to talk and laugh with the county lieutenant and his wife.
After another burst of enthusiasm, the county lieutenant looked up at the sky, got up and strode to the front of the hall, and said to the servant who had been waiting at the door: "Go and arrange a table of banquets, I want to wash the dust for the immortals who have come from afar, and wish the flag a victory." ”
The servant took the order from the little brother and left, and when he came, Gu Xing naturally had an order not to show flaws, so he naturally covered it up.
When the county lieutenant returned to his seat, Chen Fusheng asked a question that surprised everyone, "I don't know if the county lieutenant will be old this year?" ”
The word "high longevity" is extremely targeted, and I don't know what Chen Fusheng's intentions are. This county lieutenant looks no more than forty years old, and he is in the prime of life, and he can't match the word "high longevity". Chen Fusheng, a person who is proficient in the world, will definitely not lose his words on such an occasion, so his question naturally has another meaning.
When the county lieutenant heard this, he was obviously stunned, but then said with a smile: "Mr. Chen has lost his eyes? This official is in the prime of life, where does he say that he has a high life? But when the county lieutenant said this, he obviously increased the force placed on the county lieutenant's wife's hand. The county lieutenant's wife subconsciously snorted softly, but changed her smile in the next moment.
Gu Xing saw that the atmosphere was a little embarrassed at this time, and hurriedly said: "Mr. Chen has been working hard for days, maybe he is a little hungry, I don't know what delicious food the county lieutenant has arranged for us, so that we can feast on it?" ”
The county lieutenant smiled when he heard this, glanced at Chen Fusheng meaningfully, and then turned his head to look at Gu Xing, and said loudly: "In poor towns and towns, there are no delicacies on the table, they are all ordinary home-cooked local dishes, I hope you don't dislike them." ”
Chen Fusheng didn't mean to be embarrassed, and immediately smiled: "How come, the county lieutenant's hospitality is an honor for us." ”
Not long after, there was a shout from the servant brother outside the door, "Serve the food"
I haven't seen its food, but I have smelled its fragrance, and everyone seems to have forgotten the hidden needle just now, and they are looking forward to it, and it seems that there is nothing that a meal can't solve.
When the county magistrate heard this, he got up, raised his hand, and a servant walked out from behind everyone, and placed a table in front of everyone, as high as everyone present. Then, behind the door, the servant was led by the little brother and began to serve food to the table in front of everyone.
Gu Xing looked at the hot dishes, smelled the aroma of the dishes, and there was no change in his face. But he muttered to himself in his heart: "Lord County Lieutenant, what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd?" This dish seems to be fine, but there is a hidden chronic secret medicine, and as time goes by, I am afraid there is a plan for the next step. But wouldn't it be too boring if it weren't? ”
Gu Xing raised his head, pretending to be full of joy, and praised the dish again, saying that he hadn't eaten it for a long time
And so on. Chen Fusheng is naturally not an idle person, he has been a doctor for a long time, and when he smelled the fragrance, he also found an abnormality, but he made a gesture to Yi Nanxing and Aunt Han to watch the changes, and the three of them also learned from Gu Xing's appearance, and they were weak and wronged.
The county lieutenant did not doubt him, and brought in several jars of wine, as if he wanted to get drunk with Gu Xing and the others. Chen Fusheng said at this time: "I'm not good at drinking, so I won't accompany the county lieutenant to have a cup." If you have to open the altar for a while, it is better to be accompanied by Brother Gu, how about it? ”
Gu Xing scolded his mother in his heart at this time, if he hadn't seen Chen Fusheng's face, he would have tore his hypocritical face on the spot. Gu Xing was difficult to ride a tiger at this time, and wanted to pick up the wine bowl on the table, stretching out his hand to hang in the air, but he didn't dare to take a step forward.
When the county lieutenant heard this, he could only be unimpressed, and poked open the mud seal of the wine jar in front of him, and suddenly the aroma of wine overflowed the entire side hall. Although Chen Fusheng didn't drink alcohol, he said with a smile: "This wine is so fragrant, it seems that the county lieutenant has put in a lot of effort!" ”
The county lieutenant didn't speak, but poured a bowl of wine, picked it up and sniffed it under his nose, raised his head and poured it, and then shouted, "Good wine." ”
The county lieutenant's wife spoke out at this time, "This wine is the brainchild of the husband, everyone can taste one or two, and see if they can taste the mystery." Mrs. County Lieutenant's words were obviously meaningful, Gu Xing and the others glanced at each other, poked open the mud seal, and poured a bowl.
For a while, the aroma of wine became even stronger, and even the attendants who were standing aside and waiting had a look of intoxication. It seems that there is an unquenchable desire for this wine
Gu Xing looked down at the wine in the bowl, but he was full of suspicion. The wine was not colorless, but it was dotted with a hint of crimson, as if someone had dripped a drop of virgin blood in it. In this way, the aroma of the wine ripples with a more delicious sweetness, which can make people want to stop.
But what makes people strange is that how can a small place like Yixian have such a fine wine, and how can such a superb wine be made?
It seemed that Gu Xing was always holding the bowl and had no intention of drinking. Chen Fusheng raised the teacup in front of him at the right time, got up and said, "Thanks to the appreciation of the county governor, I will go all out to live up to your expectations." I will replace the wine with tea, and I will toast you with a glass. ”
Gu Xing suddenly came back to his senses from his contemplation when he heard this, got up a little hastily, raised the wine bowl, said some high-sounding and nonsensical words, and took the time to give Chen Fusheng a look. Chen Fusheng naturally pretended not to see it, put the tea cup in his hand into the black veil, and drank it all.
The county lieutenant was naturally very satisfied with Chen Fusheng's boldness, and turned his head to look at Gu Xing, as if he was waiting for his "heroic dry clouds". Gu Xing is really at this time, dumb eats coptis, and he can't say what he is suffering from. I didn't expect Chen Fusheng, who was "his own person", to dig a pit for him and force him to jump.
Chen Fusheng naturally had his plans, but he didn't expect that Gu Xing was a little uncooperative, so he made this decision. At this time, there were many people in the audience, but it was difficult to explain, so they deliberately avoided it, so as not to be truthful.
Gu Xing and Chen Fusheng both knew that the servants behind them were by no means so simple. Everyone had a faint killing intent, and it was inadvertently revealed.
Gu Xing had no choice but to resist the urge to scold his mother in his heart, raised his head and poured down the strange bowl of wine, and his face was full of color. The county lieutenant naturally ignored these details, and praised Gu Xing for his good drinking.
This round is considered to be safe, Gu Xing sat back on the chair and stool, picked up the chopsticks and picked up a large piece of meat, put it in his mouth and chewed it. For some reason, one
After the bowl of wine was down, Gu Xing already felt groggy, and his consciousness began to gradually trance. I only heard the sound of the county lieutenant and Chen Fusheng talking and laughing, and a few people were staggering.
The county lieutenant poured another bowl, got up and said loudly: "You have come from afar, please forgive me for any inconsiderate hospitality." ”
Second Master Ma has been working hard since he entered the table, and he did not participate in the words of several people. At this time, when he heard the county lieutenant say this, he also picked up the wine bowl and echoed: "The county lieutenant loves the people like a son, you must save the young lady." ”
After speaking, he didn't care much, raised his head and poured the wine in the bowl.
When Gu Xing heard the words "Miss County Captain", he suddenly sobered up from his half-drunkness, and then he remembered Second Master Ma, who had led a few people here, and showed gratitude. The county lieutenant was a little displeased, beckoned to Ma Erye, and motioned for him to sit down, don't be embarrassed here.
Chen Fusheng seized the opportunity to add, "If it weren't for Second Master Ma's recommendation, we would only be able to eat some coarse food in that restaurant, where can we taste such a delicious wine, such a delicacy." Let's raise a glass and salute the county lieutenant for another bowl, and hope that everything will go well in our next exorcism. ”
The county lieutenant naturally had no intention of refusing, and immediately picked up the wine bowl and poured it down. And the county lieutenant's wife didn't make any extra movements except for the smirk on her face, and the bowl of wine didn't move at all.
Chen Fusheng and others raised the teacup and drank it, Gu Xing wanted to pour half a bowl, but was filled up by the "sensible" attendant behind him, so he could only raise the bowl and pour it. Falling into a state of confusion again, this time with the previous feeling, it came even more ferociously.
Gu Xingqiang supported his crumbling body, and then grabbed a pair of chopsticks towards the dish in front of him, and he didn't feel a little refreshed. I didn't expect this wine to be so strong, and I almost fainted. But the second master Ma next to Gu Xing was like no one else, eating and drinking, not ambiguous at all.
Gu Xing subconsciously leaned towards him and asked quietly, "Second Master Ma, why aren't you drunk?" ”
Second Master Ma smiled contemptuously, took out a pill from his arms and handed it to Gu Xing, "This is a secret medicine for someone Ma, one can cure a hundred wines, you can give it a try, Tong Su is not bullied." ”
Gu Xing touched the pill in his hand, leaned under his nose and smelled it, and suddenly felt refreshed, and there was a feeling of empowerment. He didn't hesitate any longer, turned around and drank the remaining wine at the bottom of the bowl. After a while, Gu Xing only felt that his whole body was hot, and the heat flowed up the dantian, and he didn't feel much more awake.
When he turned his head to look at Ma Erye, Ma Erye also "coincidentally" turned his head to look at him, and wiped the oil stains on his mouth with his dirty sleeves without any scruples, revealing a meaningful smile. Gu Xing secretly said in his heart that it was not good, but the warm current that had just risen from the dantian became more and more intense, and there was a faint feeling of dying of an explosion.
Gu Xing had no choice but to keep pouring wine at this time. After drinking, it seems to have eased a lot. Gu Xing struggled hard, hoping to wake up, and at this time, Second Master Ma's words came to his ears again, "Brother Gu, don't do anything, just drink hard." ”
The county lieutenant got up again with a drink, laughed and said, "Since everyone is so Yaxing, why don't you enjoy a song and dance?" Although it is not as good as the state and county, it is not the last stream, let's take a look. ”
When Second Master Ma heard this, he immediately echoed: "Very good, very good!" ”
The county lieutenant turned his gaze to Chen Fusheng, who was still sober, as if he wanted to ask. Chen Fusheng nodded lightly, "It's good that the county lieutenant is happy, so that we will be more confident in driving away evil spirits." ”
Gu Xing secretly said in his heart: "What kind of nonsense is this, aren't you afraid that this is a Hongmen banquet?" ”
