Chapter 364: The Man and the Wine
Dusk has fallen. This time of summer. It was very late. The courtyard of Zhang's mansion is still very noisy. It's just that most of them are already staggering.
Speaking of which. It's not a common sight. 100 officials. And he can stand in the court hall to be an official of the early dynasty. All drunk. And they all drank so much. It's really a rare scene in the world. This is definitely more lively than the scene where the emperor held a banquet in the palace to entertain these people. At least in front of the emperor. These people will also pretend to be very good. I would never drink it so much. In case of drunken gaffes. If you lose your interests. When the time comes, it will be written down by those imperial historians. It's another trouble.
Today, though. There is no imperial history. Don't worry about etiquette. No one is going to say yours isn't. Even if it's your enemy. They all drink on the same stage with you. And that's enough for wine. Such a situation. If you can't get yourself drunk yet. That's really sorry for myself.
Drink the people in place. The one with a better image is already asleep on the table. The not-so-good ones had already gone under the table. In front of so many people. The subordinates in Zhang's mansion helped one up. Another one fell down over there. It's just too busy. And those who are not yet drunk and fall asleep. It's still there with a wine glass in one hand. While still talking nonsense with the person next to him.
This also speaks volumes. What kind of degree did the Confucian etiquette suppress these people? On weekdays. Even if it's doing something festive in your own home. These people didn't dare to get too drunk. I'm afraid that I'll say something disrespectful when I'm drunk. It was heard by the eyes and ears of the emperor. and blocked his future.
Today, though. They don't care about these things at all. Here it is. This is the palace of the commander of the Jinyi Guard. And Feng Bao, the governor of the East Factory, is also here. Even Zhang Fan himself and Feng Bao were already drunk and began to abuse some things. How could others be afraid of being sued by them to go to Longqing. Even if it's something, anyway. It's a big deal to be unlucky together. There are also a hundred and ten other cushions. Who's afraid of whom.
In a word. Today is a day of debauchery for these court officials.
"Yuande." Gao Gong's face is now redder than a monkey's buttocks. The eyes are glazed. While talking to Zhang Fan. While putting the wine glass in his right hand that he had already drunk cleanly, he put it to his mouth and "poured" it. And then smack your lips. Savor it. Said. "You say there is a mount in this world that doesn't need to be fed. And it can travel thousands of miles a day. ”
"Of course." Zhang Fan is no better than Gao Gong now. It's the same thing. "When the time comes, get a few and liberate them. The horses that were in charge of the tartars were all gone. "Okay. Today's Zhang Fan has even spoken out about liberation. It's ten years away.
"That's a good idea." Gao Gong couldn't hear what Zhang Fan was saying at all. Grab the flask from the table next to you. Fill the wine glass in Zhang Fan and his hand. Clink glasses again. "Drink this cup. Tomorrow we will invite the Holy One. Destroy the Tartars. ”
"Okay." Zhang Fan also shouted. Pick up your glass and drink.
Liang Chao on the side saw it. hurriedly stepped forward and snatched the glass of wine from Zhang Fan's hand. Instead of Zhang Fan, he drank it. Fortunately, Zhang Fan is almost drunk now. And there was no resistance. And now Gao Gong cares about having someone to drink with him. As for who. He didn't care. He couldn't see clearly.
Liang Chao actually came over early in the morning. At first, he saw that Zhang Fan could still restrain himself. Don't drink more. And there was no step forward to stop him. But later. Zhang Fan is getting more and more powerful. Although Zhao understood that Zhang Fan would refuse now, there was no way. That's why she always had a smile on her face. But at the end of the day. How could she let Zhang Fan drink so much wine. I am a woman's family. It's not good to go up and stop it. It was also the first time she used the identity of Zhang Fan's mother. beckoned to Liang Chao, a subordinate who had always been by Zhang Fan's side. Let him drink instead of Zhang Fan.
For this kind of work. Liang Chao naturally will not refuse. I was able to drink when I was in office. And the drink is still the best home brew. In other words, there is no reason for anyone to refuse. But Liang Chao encountered a lot of trouble at first. The first time he stepped forward to snatch Zhang Fan's wine glass. was actually scolded by Zhang Fan and a few people on the side. Zhang Fan's meaning is very simple. He was very dissatisfied that someone dared to come and rob him of his wine. also threatened Liang Chao that he would raid his entire family. And those on the side are even worse. has even decided to impeach Liang Chao tomorrow. The content is that Zhang Fan is not allowed to drink.
Face it all. Liang Chao could only retreat to the side very helplessly. Having said that. People here. If it's really talking. He can't afford to mess with any of them. What's more, now they are three glasses of wine. It's all like brothers. Liang Chao still dared to step forward to find it.
But it didn't last long. Half an hour didn't arrive. Liang Chao was already able to smoothly take the wine glass from Zhang Fan's hand without being scolded. It's a shame that Liang Chao is a martial arts practitioner. Good health. The amount of alcohol is also very large. But it's been a long time. He found that his age was no match for the people in front of him, most of whom were nearly half a hundred years old. Liang Chao already felt a little dizzy. And these people are still in the same spirit as before. Slowly. Liang Chao has also begun to play tricks. Either that, or a glass of wine is almost all poured on the placket. The door is the wine glass that reaches the mouth, and there is not much wine at all. In this way. Compare yourself to these alcoholics. Liang Chao's advantages are revealed.
It was getting dark. Look at the scene like this today. The evening banquet was saved. The people who were already drinking were all carried back one by one by their respective subordinates. Zhang Fan to this time. I just sat on a chair. I fell asleep with my back against the back of my chair. Zhu Yijun congratulated the reason. Got permission from Long Qing. came to Zhang's mansion to play with Ruan Er and Xue'er for an afternoon. I'm a little tired now. I'm going back. I wanted to say hello to Zhang Fan. It turns out that he looks like this. I had to do it.
Ru Xue saw that the guests had all left at this time. That's when I walked over. Watching his head leaning back in his chair and falling asleep. And Zhang Fan, who was constantly exuding the smell of wine all over his body. frowned. said to Zhao on the side: "Mother." Look at this...... How can this be born? It's early this morning. Xianggong himself said that he would never get drunk today. Otherwise, Sister Yue'er ...... there."
"Alas......" Zhao looked at his drunken son. Also sighed. Said. "You can't just say anything today. Otherwise, it's a big deal. Fragrant plum. Go and bring me a basin of water. Be cool. Bring me another bottle of vinegar. ”
Where did Xiangmei know the Zhao family's plans. thought she was just going to wipe Zhang Fan's face. Pour some vinegar to decant the wine.
Cool water is coming. Xiangmei was about to pick up a handkerchief to wipe Zhang Fan. But I heard Zhao say: "Give me the whole pot on his face." ”
Heard Zhao's command. Everyone present was stunned. Xiangmei holds the basin. I don't know what to do. But Zhao had a determined face. looked at Ru Xue. Ru Xue was also reluctant. But he nodded.
There's no way around it. Xiangmei silently recited the words in her heart to ask Zhang Fan to forgive. With a "bang", a whole basin of cold water was poured on Zhang Fan.
It's already hot in the summer. This cool water is poured on it. Zhang Fan, who was still asleep just now, was suddenly woken up. I don't know what the situation is for him. When you open your mouth, you have to shout something.
The Zhao family on the side is very accurate. After instructing Xiangmei just now. She already had the bottle of vinegar in her hand. I saw Zhang Fan's mouth open. She went up and pinched Zhang Fan's nose. The whole bottle of old vinegar was poured into Zhang Fan like this.
All of a sudden. Zhang Fan can be said to be "cool" to the extreme. Just splashing cold water on his body has already made him excited. Now the whole bottle of vinegar is poured to the extreme. Immediately, the stomach squirmed. The next moment. Zhang Fan was already lying on the ground and vomiting. It's just that he's been drinking all day today. Didn't eat anything at all. All that came out was water. It's just that the smell is really a lot worse.
The brow on Ru Xue's forehead furrowed. But she didn't dislike the weirdness. Instead, he looked at Zhao. Worriedly, he asked, "Mother." If it's so hard......"
"It's fine." Zhao didn't have a worried expression at all. "This kid looks like his father. Even if you don't know how to drink, you have to hold on. But if you drink too much, you won't make trouble. But just lie down on the ground and sleep. It's really embarrassing. Rest assured. I'll let him eat something. Take a shower and you'll be fine. ”
Hear Zhao's words. Ru Xue couldn't help but feel funny. Feelings are still hereditary.
Over there. Xiangmei had already gone to prepare a meal for Zhang Fan. This way. Ru Xue's body is inconvenient. Zhao went up in person. I don't dislike Zhang Fan's dirty body. Lift him into a chair and sit back down.
"Mother. Son, what's going on? Zhang Fan saw Zhao. Somewhat slurred.
"What's wrong?" Zhao glanced at him angrily. Said. "I said, why are you so useless. It's only been a few days out. How did it become this virtue? Look at it later. Still can't let you touch the wine. ”
Listened to my mother. Zhang Fan, who has been sober a lot, doesn't know what to say. Just a hey giggle.
At this time, Xiangmei asked people to come over with a few plates of dishes.
"Hurry up and get something to eat. Go wash it up. Change your clothes. Zhao commanded. What day is it. You can't let that girl wait like this. ”
Listen to what my mother said. Zhang Fan remembered at this time. Today is a good day for him and Yingyue.
This time. Zhang Fan, who was eating heavily, didn't know. Yingyue is now very bored in her heart. Preoccupied.
