Chapter 54: Will enter the wine

Li Tai took Qin Mubai by his own hand, kept urging Qin Bin, and brought the two to the first corner of the streamβ€”according to the convention, it is usually where the King of Wei himself and the most familiar and poetic group of people sit.

"Brother Mu Bai, I'll introduce you to a few people." When Li Tai pulled Qin Mubai over, the other people who were sitting had already gotten up.

Qin Mubai glanced at it roughly, but found an acquaintance in it-Changsun Jian was also there. He sat at the same table with a young man, and the two looked a little similar.

"This one is Sun Chong, the captain of the horses." Li Tai first introduced the young man to Qin Mubai. Sure enough, it was really Changsun Chong, the eldest brother of the eldest grandson, the eldest son of the eldest grandson, who married the first concubine of the dynasty of Princess Changle.

Chang'an Princess Li Lizhi is the eldest daughter of Empress Changsun, the eldest princess of Zhenguan Dynasty, and the sister of Prince Li Chengqian and King Li Tai of Wei. Li Lizhi is dignified and virtuous, with the demeanor of the eldest grandson, and has been most loved by Li Shimin since he was a child, praising him as an example of the princes and princesses. Li Shimin married her to the eldest grandson Chong, which is enough to see his favor for the eldest grandson.

According to the habits of this dynasty, it is generally "the eldest son and the second son". And the eldest grandson Chong was the eldest son of the first minister of the dynasty, Changsun Wuji, who made an exception to marry the eldest princess, and the fame of the people in the dynasty can be seen. It's just that this eldest grandson Chong doesn't seem to be as good as his younger brother eldest grandson, who is low-key and cautious like his father, and usually lives in a simple place, so his influence in the circle of the second ancestor is not very great.

Qin Mubai looked at the eldest grandson Chong, at first glance, he seemed to be a humble and polite pretty son. The two greeted each other, and they were considered to have met each other.

"This one doesn't need to be introduced by Xiao Wang, you are very familiar, hehe!" Li Tai pointed at the eldest grandson and smiled.

"Brother Qin is deeply hidden, it turns out that he is also an elegant and talented man!" The eldest grandson hooked the corners of his mouth and smiled and arched his hand, and the sarcasm in his words was fully revealed.

Qin Mubai returned the salute with a casual smile: "It's just a martial artist in the next place, and Yu Shici is really a fool outside the door." It was the King of Wei who didn't think he was being foolish, and called to open his eyes and beg for a glass of wine to have a good time. ”

"Brother Qin doesn't have to be too humble." The eldest grandson had a kind smile on his face, but he snorted coldly in his nose and sat down.

On the side, Changsun Chong wrinkled his brows and reprimanded in a low voice: "King Wei is here, you are so rude?" ”

Eldest Sun Lian's expression changed slightly, and he lowered his head in embarrassment: "Little brother knows his mistake." ”

Li Tai and Qin Mubai didn't hear it, and went to greet the others with a smile on their faces.

There are really a lot of big-name second ancestors who came today. Du Ruhui's son Du He, Xiao Yu's son Xiao Rui, Chai Shao's son Chai Lingwu, Wang Qi's son Wang Jingzhi, Fang Xuanling's son Fang Zhizhi and Fang Yiai...... Many of them were concubines who had married princesses. What interests Qin Mubai the most is the famous king of green hats in history - Fang Yiai. This kid is only fifteen or sixteen years old now, he has not married a princess, he is born with a tall cow and a big horse, and he is a bit of a reckless man, and it is said that his limbs are very developed, and his ability to bend a bow and ride a horse is not bad. During the conversation, I heard that the eldest grandson had also invited him to run for the Hundred Cavalry, but this Fang Er said that it was too bitter for the army to be a soldier without Meiji, so it was better to wait to marry the princess and ensure that he would be prosperous and wealthy for a lifetime, so why go to the army to dance with guns and sticks.

It's really far-sighted and ambitious!

Qin Mubai paid attention to it, but he didn't find Wei Zheng's son here. It is said that Wei Zheng's family education was extremely strict, so strict that he was a bit like suffering from depression. Usually, his house is always closed to no one and does not move around with anyone, and he also strictly orders his family and nephews not to have relationships with anyone. Therefore, in the circle of Chang'an II Ancestors, there is no half of the Wei family.

Li Tai finally introduced Qin Mubai, a newcomer, to everyone. It took a lot of time to finish the photo one by one, and the talents below were a little impatient, and many people were bored and had already started chatting and talking on their own.

"The Flowing Water Begins, Start Now!"

Everyone cheered and began their preparations. In the upper reaches of the stream, there are also people who are ready to put wine buds.

Li Tai said: "Today's wine is an extraordinarily good wine, it was given to me by His Majesty the Emperor and specially held this Qushui Liuyu 'Qin Immortal Imperial Wine' - Yao, it was made by this third prince of Qin!" ”

Li Tai pointed at Qin Mubai, which immediately attracted everyone's sideways looks. Whether it was out of Fengcheng Li Tai or giving Qin Mubai a little face, many people applauded, and there was a burst of surprise.

Qin Mubai shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly: "Your Highness, let's start quickly, everyone can't wait." ”

"Okay, let's go!" Li Tai smiled, smiling very honestly. With a wave of his hand, the music played changed, and someone upstream began to cast the wine.

For the first time, there were three wooden wine buds, each containing a small half glass of wine. Along the stream, the stone path curving next to the stream, bumped down. At the first corner, it was blocked by a stream of rocks, and the scene suddenly erupted in applause.

"Okay, Your Highness has come out on top!"

"Your Highness, please!"

The first glass of wine fell in front of Li Tai, and the other two glasses slowly flowed down and were taken by the other two talents.

"Haha, then Xiao Wang will be ugly first." Li Tai bent down and picked up the wine from the stream, and as soon as he drank it, his face immediately turned red. Taking a deep breath, he sighed and admired: "Qin Immortal Imperial Wine, it is really good wine, good wine!" β€”β€”Xiao Wang took 'immortal' as the meaning and chanted a poem! ”

After that, Li Tai casually recited a poem, which attracted cheers from the audience, and the cocktail party suddenly reached a high climax.

Qin Mubai secretly admired: I have to say, this fat boy is very talented, in this regard, I am far worse than him.

The other two gentlemen also chanted poems one after another, which also won a lot of applause. There was a royal palace room at the scene, and these poems were recorded. Later, the best works should be selected from all the poems, or carved into tablets and erected in the back garden of the palace, or written into a collection of poems to circulate in the world.

The flow of the water continued, the cups of wine fell from the upstream in an endless stream, and many poems were born, of course, there were also people who couldn't chant poems for a while, and they were to be fined three glasses of wine and laughed by everyone.

Qin Mubai purely came to join in the fun, but he didn't think about going to the stream to make a fool of himself. In fact, everyone sat quite close, and the cup fell to whoever would recite the poem depends on everyone's interest or someone else's face.

Sitting with Qin Mubai was Qin Bin, and next to him was Li Tai and the eldest grandson brothers. The two brothers seemed to be very interested in this song, and the eldest grandson also volunteered to pick up the cup from the stream and chanted a love poem in public, which caused everyone to laugh and applaud.

The boy is romantic, everyone here likes this taste.

It's another turn.

Qin Mubai was chatting with Qin Bin boringly, and the audience suddenly quieted down a little. He looked up in amazement, only to see the eldest grandson standing in front of him with a dripping cup, with a malicious smile on his face.

"Why is Brother Qin only chatting, since he is here, he should also show his hand, right?" With that, the eldest grandson put the cup on Qin Mubai's table.

"This ...... In the next martial arts, he is really not good at poetry. Qin Mubai smiled and said, "Brother Eldest Sun, since you picked up the cup, then you should come." Those who can work harder! ”

There was a chord of boos all around, and it was obvious that many people were laughing at Qin Mubai, a "martial artist", behind their backs.

"Since the eldest grandson is so gracious, we are disrespectful. The third brother can't recite poetry, and he is willing to do it for him. Qin Bin stood up and was about to reach out for the cup, when Changsun Jian suddenly raised his hand and stopped him: "Slow! Second Brother Qin, I made a special trip to get this wine for Third Brother Qin. ”

Qin Mubai's eyebrows twisted slightly: This bastard boy is still on the side with me, do you really want me to make a fool of myself in public?

For a moment, the atmosphere became a little tense.

Li Tai hurriedly got up and came over, and said with a smile: "It's okay if you don't chant poetry, it's completely okay!" Brother Mu Bai, you can be fined three cups of water. You're not the only one who was fined for water today, so it's okay. ”

The eldest grandson looked at Qin Mubai, and sneered at the corner of his mouth: "King Wei is extremely right. It's just three cups of water, and with Brother Qin's mass, it's no problem. ”

At this time, Qin Bin said in a low voice: "Third brother, just punish three cups of water." ”

"Three cups? I'm limited in how much I drink. I made this wine myself, so I know how powerful it is. If you get drunk for a while and get drunk, won't it ruin the atmosphere of today's meeting? Qin Mubai stood up, looked directly into the eyes of the eldest grandson, suddenly smiled coldly, and reached out to pick up the cup.

"Although I don't know how to learn or know, I am almost an illiterate fool compared to all the talented people here, but I am ...... Play it by chance. With that, Qin Mubai tilted his neck and drank the middle glass of wine, and paused the wine glass on the table.

The eldest grandson was slightly stunned, looked at Qin Mubai with wide eyes, and said in his heart: What is this kid going to do again? After months in the army, I got along day and night, when did I see you, a martial artist, chanting half a line of poetry, and the books I read were all military books and war strategy rules and treatises, and there was nothing to do with elegance - I want to see you, how to step down!

Li Tai took the lead and applauded: "Good, good!" Qu Shui Liuzhen, in fact, is also expensive to participate, but it is easy to have fun. No matter whether the poems chanted by Brother Mu Bai today are good or bad, this spirit is also worthy of praise. In other words, he paved a downhill road for Qin Mubai first, lest he chant a broken poem and not come to the stage later.

Since King Wei said so, everyone had no choice but to follow: "Yes, yes, you are participating." We are waiting to listen to Qin Gongzi's masterpieces. ”

Qin Mubai smiled casually, holding the wine glass in one hand, and pacing behind the back of the scissor in the other hand, thinking about it in a gesture, scratching his head a little embarrassedly from time to time.

Li Tai hurriedly asked his servant to pour wine into his cup.

Qin Mubai suddenly laughed: "His Royal Highness King Xie Wei gave wine, and he was ...... Pregnant! ”

"In the name of this wine, I will make a song "Will Enter the Wine" in the next, and I will laugh and be generous."

"Okay, I'm going to drink! Everyone, pour the wine in your glass! Li Tai shouted.

Qin Mubai wanted to laugh.

Heart Dao, although Lao Tzu can't compose poems, he can memorize a little ...... Li Bai, Li Bai, don't blame me for your piracy, I can't help it, let the turtle grandson force it!

"You don't see, the water of the Yellow River comes up from the sky, rushes to the sea and never returns! You don't see it, Gao Tang Mingjing is sad and white-haired, and the morning is like green silk turning into snow at dusk! Life must be happy, don't make the gold bottle empty to the moon. I am born to be useful, and my daughter will come back when I am gone. ”

Qin Mubai is a general, and he has already practiced his voice in the army, and he has a generous and majestic momentum when he sings poetry. As soon as these first few words were chanted, many people were stunned for a moment, and the scene suddenly became a little silent.

Even Li Tai's eyes widened, and he suddenly shouted, "Okay! "Life must be full of joy, don't make the gold bottle empty to the moon, I am born to be useful, and the daughter will come back after being scattered", a superb poem! ”

"Okayβ€”" There was a loud applause and thunderous applause.

The corners of Changsun Juan's eyes were already twitching, and his face was involuntarily a little pale. Ever since he met Qin Mubai, he found that he was always prone to turn pale, and his heart was even more annoyed.

Qin Mubai laughed twice, drank all the wine in the cup, and raised the wine cup to chant loudly-

"Cooking sheep and slaughtering cattle for pleasure will require three hundred cups of drink!"

β€œβ€¦β€¦ The wine will be poured in, and the glass will not stop. A song with you, please listen to it for me. ”

"Okayβ€”"

The atmosphere of the reception reached its peak in an instant, and many gentlemen couldn't help but slap their hands and raise their glasses to drink. Today, all of you here are great experts who have read poetry and books, Li Bai's "Will Enter the Wine" is a peerless masterpiece that has been praised through the ages, how can they not be excited?

"Five-flowered horses, daughters and horses, Hu'er will exchange for fine wine, and sell eternal sorrow with you."

After the poem was chanted, Qin Mubai laughed madly as if he was drunk, and waved the empty wine cup in his hand: "Princess, please drink this cup to the fullest, and dispel the sorrow of eternity!" ”

Li Tai took a deep breath and waved his hand: "Serve the wine!! For Brother Mu Bai, such a masterpiece, drink a full meal! ”

Everyone poured their wine and stood up, and said in unison: "King Wei, please, Brother Mubai, please!" ”

"Please-" Qin Mubai's pride burst out and drank all the spirits in the cup.

After three glasses of wine in a row, Qin Mubai was really a little dizzy. When he glanced at Changsun Lian in a blink of an eye, he saw that he was already like an injured little mouse, obediently shrunk in front of his desk, and he didn't look at Qin Mubai with his eyes.

Qin Mubai pretended to be drunk, and walked back to his seat and sat down with some shaking. Li Tai also sat down, turned sideways and said happily: "Brother Mu Bai is really a peerless literary talent, Xiao Wang loves your "Will Enter the Wine" very much." Xiao Wang is willing to ask this work to be written by Mr. Yu Shinan, the first pen of the dynasty, and then engraved into a tablet and erected in this house, and read it day and night. I don't know if Brother Mu Bai minds? ”

"If Your Highness doesn't dislike the crudeness of the poems below, please feel free." Qin Mubai replied with a smile.

"So good, so good." Li Tai's trademark hehe laughed twice, signaling Qu Shui to continue. But at present, there is an exciting discussion all around, and many people are immersed in the passion of "Will Enter the Wine", chanting the words in "Will Enter the Wine" endlessly.

Qin Mubai glanced at the eldest grandson, and couldn't help laughing: Strange, this kid's face is going to turn green again?
