Chapter 79: Five Stones
The wine and food are very fast, all of them are delicacies, and the wine is a fine wine.
Pei Xiu pointed to the wine jugs on several cases and said, "Change to a pot of warm wine." ”
Of course, the man didn't say anything, and immediately took the cold wine away and replaced it with a warm pot of wine.
Cao Liang is a little strange, it stands to reason that the weather is cold in winter, and drinking some warm wine can nourish the body and warm the meridians, but now it is spring, the spring flowers are blooming, the climate is pleasant, and there is no need to drink warm wine at this time.
"It turns out that Brother Pei likes to drink warm wine."
Pei Xiuqi said: "Brother Cao is not satisfied with Wushisan? After taking Wushi San, you must drink warm wine to dissipate the medicinal power, activate the meridians, and eliminate all diseases. ”
Cao Liang suddenly realized that Pei Xiu had been taking Wushisan, so he couldn't drink cold wine.
Wushisan originated in the Han Dynasty and was widely popular among scholars, but there is one person who is really popular in the world.
This person is Cao Cao's adopted son and son-in-law He Yan.
He Yan was indeed a relatively alternative figure in the Three Kingdoms era. He is the grandson of He Jin, the general of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, He Jin is a fool, in order to deal with the ten permanent servants who are in power, he led the wolf into the room and summoned Dong Zhuo, but Dong Zhuo has not yet arrived, He Jin was killed by the ten permanent servants, and then the ten permanent servants were wiped out, Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, and the curtain of the troubled times of the Three Kingdoms was opened.
After He Jin's death, the He family fell into the middle of the road, and Cao Cao, who had a good wife, fell in love with He Yan's mother Yin and accepted him as a concubine, so the young He Yan became a drag oil bottle and lived in Cao's mansion with his mother.
The young He Yan was extremely smart, because he refused to be Cao Cao's stepson, so he drew a box on the ground, sat there and didn't come out. Someone reported the matter to Cao Cao, and Cao Cao was also very surprised, so he sent someone to send him back to Hefu. However, after growing up, I don't know whether he was forced by Cao Cao's power or greedy for wealth, He Yan still willingly took refuge in Cao Cao and became Cao Cao's adopted son with peace of mind.
is in the same situation as him, as well as Qin Lang, but He Yan is far more pleasing to Cao Cao than Qin Lang, so much so that Cao Cao later married his daughter Princess Jinxiang to him.
Although Cao Cao liked it, Cao Pi was extremely disgusted with him, and every time he saw He Yan swaggering away in the clothes of the prince, he denounced him as a "fake son".
He Yan is handsome, has the reputation of "Fu Fan He Lang", and usually likes to dress up, his face is delicate and white, even women can't compare to him. Cao Yan suspected that he rubbed the powder, and specially invited him to eat hot noodle soup on a hot day, He Yan was sweating profusely, so he had to wipe his face with his sleeve, but his face became whiter, and Cao Rong believed that he didn't rub the powder.
During the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, with the rise of the style of Qing Tan and the change of aesthetic concepts, the character of the Han nationality changed from the previous masculinity to femininity.
In order to maintain his beautiful face, He Yan took great pains and finally set his sights on Wushisan. In He Yan's view, Wushisan has the effect of beautifying and nourishing the skin, which is exactly what he urgently needs, and at the same time, Wushisan has the effect of helping yang, which makes He Yan, who indulges in sound and sensuality, unable to help himself.
Therefore, He Yan began to take Wushisan for many years, and claimed to the outside world that Wushisan has the effect of dispelling illness and strengthening the body and having the effect of being cheerful.
He Yan is not only a relative of the emperor, but also the leader of the metaphysical school of the Qing Tan School, driven by his personal practice, a trend of taking Wushisan has been set off in the Jingshi Shizi circle, and it is no wonder that Pei Xiu saw that Cao Liang did not know what Wushisan was, and his expression was stunned.
For Cao Liang, Wushisan is actually equivalent to a drug, for a young man like him from the last society, how could he be caught in such a bad hobby?
How did Pei Xiu die, not that he was killed by accidentally drinking cold wine after taking Wushi San, and when he died, Pei Xiu was not yet fifty years old.
Wushisan is a chronic poison that can be used for a long time to become addictive, with a fever all over the body after taking it, and a hallucinatory reaction similar to that of psychedelic drugs, and the whole person is in a trance.
And this effect is exactly what the Wei and Jin metaphysical Qingtan faction headed by He Yan and others pursued, so Wushisan will be popular.
Anyone who saw those scholars on the street dressed in light clothes and flowing clothes, all of them looked like fairy wind bones, they all took Wushi San. It's not that they don't like to wear less clothes and can resist frost and cold, but after taking Wushisan, they must eat more cold rice, so Wushisan is also called cold food.
In addition to eating cold meals, you should also pay attention to walking outside and exercising, which is called walking and walking. It is also necessary to pay attention to drinking more hot wine and good wine, drinking it several times a day, so that the body has the potential to drink, that is, it is in a slightly drunk state. If you drink cold or low-quality wine, you can die. In addition, after taking the medicine, you should use a cold water bath to dissipate the toxicity and heat of the medicine, and you should not wear too warm clothes.
Wushisan can be said to have a long history, not only the people of the Wei and Jin dynasties flocked to it, until the Tang, Song, Ming and Qing dynasties, there were people who took Wushisan, until modern times, after the rise of opium, Wushisan was considered to have withdrawn from the stage of history.
In the course of a thousand years, millions of people have taken the drug, and countless people have died as a result.
But no matter how many people die, it is difficult to stop people's enthusiasm for taking drugs, especially in the upper-class aristocratic society, just like in modern society, empty people often need drugs to anesthetize themselves and relieve stress.
The inferior nature of human beings is probably like this, which is also the reason why the five stones have been scattered for thousands of years.
In order to take a closer look at Cao Liang, Pei Xiu took out a pack of yellow-red powdered things from his arms, and deliberately stated that this package of Wushisan was bought from Yipinju, and the price was several times that of ordinary Wushisan on the market.
Although Cao Liang did not mean to buy Wushisan, Pei Xiu still tried his best to recommend it.
He Yan is now serving as the secretary of the ministry, and many people deliberately welcome Pei Xiu in order to seek a career, and once Wushisan is addicted, it is also difficult to quit like drugs.
So no matter how much Pei Xiu talked and admired him, Cao Liang didn't have the slightest idea of trying to take Wushisan, and the result could only be that Pei Xiu was stupid.
There are indeed very few people in the scholar's circle who don't take medicine, Pei Xiu was naturally surprised by Cao Liang's behavior, but everyone has different preferences, and Pei Xiu can't force it, but the Tao is different, and the atmosphere of the banquet has become a little cold.
After the banquet, Pei Xiu just said goodbye lightly and left.
