This scene undoubtedly fell into Cao Liang's eyes, looking at the guest, about thirty years old, dressed in the costume of a scholar, but he did not have the appearance of a scholar and a gentleman, and his behavior was flamboyant, like a scoundrel in the market.

It is undoubtedly a faux pas to let a woman toast, Cao Liang thought that the store would refuse, but he didn't expect that instead of being annoyed, the store would accompany the smiling face and call his lady to come out and pour wine.

This made Cao Liang a little curious, who is this person, so wanton?

Soon the proprietress of the hotel came to the front, looking at the appearance, but there is also a bit of color, although it is middle-aged, but also the charm remains.

However, no matter how beautiful Cao Liang is, she is also a vulgar fan, although she has a bit of beauty, but what she lacks in the market is that kind of graceful and luxurious temperament.

The proprietress soon came to the front of the gentleman, and Ying Ying smiled and said, "Yo, Ruan Gongzi, why do you have time to visit our store today?" ”

Although the scholar behaved perversely, his eyes were clear, without the slightest hint of evil, and he smiled calmly: "Because I want to drink, I came, and your wine is the best to drink." ”

The proprietress laughed, with two deep dimples on her face, her smile was very charming, she personally poured him a glass of wine, and said, "Then Gongzi Ruan must drink a few more glasses." ”

Nguyen Gongzi? Cao Liang immediately had a thought in his heart, isn't this the Ruan infantry who is known as one of the "Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest"?

"Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest" is the seven celebrities who appeared in the late Wei and early Jin Dynasties, Ji Kang, Ruan Ji, Shan Tao, Xiang Xiu, Liu Ling, Wang Rong and Ruan Xian, known as the Seven Sages, because they were often under the bamboo forest in Shanyang County at that time, drinking, singing, wanton and hearty, the world is called the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest.

Although these seven people are not the pillars of the society and the country, they have influenced more than one generation with their maverick life attitude, and even Cao Xueqin, the author of "Dream of Red Mansions", has great respect for Ruan Ji.

Ruan Ji had a bumpy career in his life, and he only achieved the highest rank as an infantry captain, so the world called him Ruan Infantry. Infantry captain in the Han Dynasty was a military position, was one of the five schools of the Northern Army, but in the Wei and Jin dynasties, the newly established five battalions of the Chinese army military guards, cavalry, backbone, base, guerrilla, infantry captain gradually reduced to a position without power of the official rank, often filled by civilian officials.

Ruan Ji can be called a model of performance art, he likes to drink, every time he drinks, he will make unbelievable acts, he often drives a car alone, regardless of the road, let his cars and horses run wildly, run until there is no way out, and then wave his sleeves and raise his head, facing the wilderness of heaven and earth, tear his throat, cry loudly, cry so that the mountains shake, cry heartily.

Once a girl in the neighbor's house died, Ruan Ji usually had no contact with that family, but he actually ran to the people's mourning hall, opened his throat and cried, crying heartbroken, the sky was dark, and the guests in the hall were all shocked.

Ruan Ji cried enough, got up and patted the soil on his body, and left as if nothing had happened.

Ruan's crazy name is countless, the ideal and reality almost make him almost desperate in pain, he is resentful, he hesitates, he knows the danger of officialdom, the ambition of villains, he is not willing to sink, different streams and filth, what a pity for the reputation on the surface, true temperament, true liver and gall, wandering in the form is really with the spirit of heaven and earth.

He has a noble heart and is arrogant, but he encounters a turbulent era, and he disdains to associate with those so-called righteous men and gentlemen, so he can only pretend to be crazy with wine, use wine to eliminate sorrows, and live a true self.

In fact, Cao Liang admires Ruan's nationality very much, he is not bound by the world, he is not bound by etiquette, he is imaginative, he does his own thing, and he lives a chic and comfortable life.

I didn't expect to see Ruan Ji unintentionally today.

In order to make sure that there was no mistake, Cao Liang stopped the shopkeeper when he passed by and asked, "Who is that, the shopkeeper seems to be very accommodating to him?" ”

The shopkeeper smiled disappreciatively and said, "This Ruan Gongzi is our neighbor, he lives in the grass hut in front, he is open-minded, informal, likes to drink, and he is actually quite good." ”

"This Ruan Gongzi is named Ruan Ji?"

The shopkeeper raised his eyebrows and said, "Exactly, doesn't the guest officer also know him?" ”

Cao Liang shook his head and said, "I only heard his name, but I didn't see him." ”

Although their voices were not high, Ruan Ji over there seemed to hear someone talking about him behind his back, and immediately looked over here and rolled his eyes at Cao Liang.

Ruan Ji often looks at people with blue eyes, shows blue eyes to those he likes, and full of white eyes to those he doesn't like.

Ruan Ji's white eyes are a unique job, others roll their eyes at most black eyes facing upward, half black and half white, and Ruan Ji rolls his eyes, in the eye sockets, there is absolutely no black eyeballs at all, and the gray eyes are still covered with bloodshots, a miserable white person.

Cao Liang smiled, this Ruan Ji's white eyes are really extraordinary, no wonder he can leave a name in history.

Cao Liang stood up, stepped forward, and saluted Ruan Ji: "I have heard the name of Brother Ruan for a long time, and I am really fortunate to meet you today." ”

Ruan Ji didn't put down his eyes because Cao Liang said a kind word, and said coldly: "Who are you?" ”

Cao Liang didn't care, Ruan Ji was a madman, so naturally he couldn't be reasonable, he smiled slightly and said: "Under Cao Liang, I joined the army for the expedition to the south." ”

When Ruan Ji heard this, he immediately rolled his black eyes, looked Cao Liang up and down, and said, "You are Cao Liang of the Gaoling Marquis Mansion, the Cao Liang who dares to anger Sima Shi?" ”

"No, it's down."

Ruan Ji's eyes lit up, his eyebrows were happy, and he said continuously: "I have admired Brother Cao's name for a long time, and I am disrespectful and disrespectful." ”

This attitude, first and then respectful, made Cao Liang unexpected, Ruan Ji immediately moved inside, vacated a seat, and said to Cao Liang: "Brother Cao, please sit, it's rare to see today, how about a drink with your face?" ”

Cao Liang said with a smile: "It's better to be respectful than to obey your fate, thank you Brother Ruan." ”

Ruan Ji shouted at the proprietress next to him: "Wine lady, go and get good wine, it's the daughter of your family who has treasured it for fifteen years, today I want to go back with Brother Cao without getting drunk." ”

This time, the proprietress was indifferent, gave him a blank look, and said, "Fifteen-year-old daughter Hong, can you afford to drink, that jar is worth 10,000 yuan?" ”

"What about tens of thousands of dollars? The master has clouds, and friends come from afar, are you happy? Today, I am drunk with Brother Cao, what about the wine of 10,000 dollars, you can rest assured, you will not be missing! Ruan Ji patted his chest and said.

The proprietress immediately said: "Then Mr. Ruan will settle the previous wine money, this store is a small business, but it can't stand the credit." ”
