Chapter 426: Don't get drunk
The sun is setting and the sky is full of sunset.
The restaurant is full of people, full of seats, in the hall, or talking, or whispering in the ear, pushing the cup to change the lamp, the cup is non-stop.
The doors of all rooms on the second floor are closed, and the private rooms are full.
A small child carries a wine plate, approaches a private room, there is a carved small wooden sign hanging at the door, and there are three words "Moon Pavilion" on it.
When he arrived at the door, Xiao Ergao shouted: "Ladies and gentlemen, the wine and food are here!" ”
After speaking, he pushed open the door with his body, stepped forward quickly, and put the wine and food on the table one by one.
"Everyone, please use it slowly!"
Xiao Er quickly exited the room and closed the door.
"Come, Brother Shen, Brother Jiang, drink this cup to the full!" Yang Congyi filled three wine glasses and raised his glass with a smile.
"Your Excellency, please!" Shen Jin and Jiang Kai raised their glasses in their hands and congratulated them with a smile.
The three of them raised their heads and drank it all.
Fill the empty glass and raise your glass again.
"Brother Shen, this cup of you and I wish Brother Jiang Jinbang High School, and from now on, you will leap into the dragon gate!" Yang Congyi laughed loudly.
"That's exactly how it should be. Brother Jiang, please! Shen Jin raised his glass and responded with a smile.
"Although the road to the imperial examination is over, there is still a long way to go. Lord Yang and Brother Shen, I will take more care and support from the two of you in the future, please! Jiang Kai smiled, raised the wine glass high, and drank it all.
Carrying a pot and pouring wine, the aroma of wine is overflowing.
"Brother Shen, Brother Jiang, this cup wishes you and my brothers to get together again, please!"
The trio raised their glasses again and emptied their glasses.
After three glasses of wine, he raised his chopsticks.
After a few bites, Shen Jin filled the three empty cups, and then raised his glass and said: "Three years ago, I was invited by the adult, the younger brother and Brother Jiang followed the adult to supervise the return to Yi, went to sea with the fleet, traveled to overseas countries, increased knowledge, and gained a lot. Sir, please! ”
After saying that, I drank it all.
"Brother Shen is serious, please!" Yang Congyi raised his glass and drank together.
Jiang Kai raised his glass and drank the wine in the glass.
Then Jiang Kai filled the three wine glasses, raised his glass and said: "The little brother has an average family background, and the three years of following the adults to supervise the return to Yi and go to sea with the ship have made the little brother go through a lot of experience, contact all kinds of people, appreciate countless beautiful scenery, and see the customs of various countries. ”
After speaking, he raised his head and drank.
"How much you can gain by inviting you to work together, in fact, it's all about yourself, Jinbang High School, but it has nothing to do with me. Please, drink this cup together! Yang Congyi excused himself, raised his head and drank the wine.
After thanking each other, they toasted each other several times, until a pot of wine was at the bottom, and if it was still not enough, another pot was added.
After a few rounds of drinking, the three of them were already a little drunk, so they no longer felt restrained, and their words were free.
I only heard Shen Jin say: "Little brother, I have failed the list twice in a row, I have no shame to return to my hometown, and I have no shame to ask for money from my family, but Lin'an Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, there are many talents, I want to exchange calligraphy and painting for some money, but no one cares, so sit and eat empty, I am afraid that it will not be long before the little brother will have to leave Lin'an and find another way out." ”
Jiang Kai continued: "Brother Shen doesn't have to worry, although I am a high school student, I may not be able to send officials, and after a while, if the court does not send officials, then with Brother Shen, the world is so big, there should be a place to make a living." ”
Shen Jin smiled and said: "Brother Jiang, don't laugh, you are famous on the gold list, ranked first, if the court has a little fairness, it will not be a problem to send you officials, and when the time comes, I can't ask Brother Jiang to give me more help, and find an errand for the younger brother, if you are released, the younger brother can also be a scribe." Please, Brother Jiang! ”
Jiang Kai patted his chest and said: "No problem, if the imperial court sends an official to the younger brother, no matter where he goes, the younger brother will definitely take Brother Shen with him!" ”
But then he said: "If the imperial court doesn't send officials, the younger brother will have to wander with Brother Shen." ”
Shen Jin smiled and said, "Okay, let's go wandering together!" The world is so big, where can you not settle down! ”
Yang Congyi was not drunk, listening to his two people in such an embarrassing situation, I couldn't help but think of the time when I came to Lin'an from Huaixi to study, because I had no money to buy horses and cars, I could only walk, sometimes in order to save money, I was reluctant to live in the inn, I arrived in Lin'an, entered the martial arts, although I paid money every month to eat in the martial arts, but the food was really not good, meat was rare all year round, because I didn't know what way out there would be in the future, the money was limited, and I didn't dare to go out to spend at will, if it wasn't for Tang Xun's occasional treats, he was afraid that he couldn't eat meat all year round. When I was studying, I had to be anxious about life and the future for more than a year before I was conferred an official, which was really a difficult time, I am afraid that it was similar to the current situation of the two of them.
It's just that after several years of hard tempering, he has become very thrifty, and he can be happy with hard life, but Shen Jin and Jiang Kai have been in Lin'an for a long time, and if they can enter Taixue to study, their family background will definitely be many times better than him. But after living in a prosperous place for a long time, daily expenses are inevitably extravagant, not to mention that there are thousands of students who are too educated, including many children from wealthy families, rich and noble families, literati students and good faces, the wind of comparison is bound to prevail, and then there is extensive communication, eating each other, and it is impossible to develop the habit of frugality.
I remember that when they were separated last year, Tang Xun gave each of them a silver banknote, although he didn't ask how much, but it couldn't be ten taels or a hundred taels, according to Tang Xun's temperament, after having money in his hand, he was naturally very generous, so the silver bill would not be less than one thousand taels. It's only been less than a year, and they've run out of money? It can be seen what kind of life they are living in Lin'an, and the word thrift is afraid that it will not have anything to do with them.
"Brother Shen, Brother Jiang, if you have nothing to do, I may be able to introduce you to an errand." Yang Congyi said with a smile.
In a hazy and drunken state, as soon as the two of them heard this, they immediately raised their eyes and looked over, only to hear Shen Jin ask, "Is this really what my lord said?" ”
Jiang Kai said: "I don't know what kind of errand it is? ”
Yang Congyi said: "One of the errands is suitable for Brother Shen, that is, to continue your previous research on the ship, some research results, you should have made a record, and when you finish the research that should be done, you can go to the imperial court in exchange for rewards, or write a book and say that it is okay to sell it to a big bookstore, and then you can use your research results to find a suitable businessman to cooperate, and the reward you will get in the future should not be less." ”
Shen Jin hurriedly said: "Yes, the adult told me last year that there is still some research to do, and now there is nothing to do, and the adult commands, the little brother can start at any time!" ”
Yang Congyi said with a smile: "Don't be busy, the materials and materials that came back with the ship have been sent to the special storage warehouse, and they can only be accessed through Lord Huang, and it is not too late to contact Brother Shen after I have met Lord Huang." ”
"Okay, good, little brother is waiting for news from adults!" Shen Jin was very happy, if he could really find an errand, he would not have to leave Lin'an and go elsewhere to make a living.
"My lord, what about me, is there an errand suitable for me to do?" Jiang Kai immediately asked.
Yang Congyi said: "Brother Jiang once was in charge of military discipline in the Xuanwei Army, and he once recruited a reserve army of thousands of people, participated in logistics supply, and purchased a large number of goods, you can do a lot of things, but you are now a new science and technology scholar, maybe the imperial court will send you officials soon, so you don't need to worry about finding an errand by yourself." If it takes another ten days and half a month, and there is still no official appointment and no dispatch, Brother Jiang will work with me in the army, how about it? ”
When Jiang Kai heard this, he hesitated slightly, but after a while, he said: "Okay, thank you for your support, the younger brother is still familiar with the affairs of the army. ”
Yang Congyi said with a smile: "Why don't you take Wu Hook and collect Guanshan Fifty Prefectures!" Brother Jiang is arrogant, but with this heart, he may really be able to make a name for himself in the army. At this time, half of the rivers and mountains of the Great Song Dynasty were broken, and it was the time for a good man to join the army and make contributions. Although Brother Jiang has not been in the army for a long time, he can also eat and live with the soldiers, be familiar with military discipline and military conditions, and personally lead the reserve army. ”
Jiang Kai said with a smile: "The younger brother borrows the auspicious words of the adult, if there is really no official to give and no dispatch to send, the younger brother will go to join the army, and then I hope that the adult will recommend him and find a suitable errand." ”
Yang Congyi laughed and said: "It's easy to say, if I go to serve in the army, I will definitely take Brother Jiang with me." If you don't go to the army, you will also find an errand for Brother Jiang in the army. ”
Jiang Kai got up slowly, raised his glass and said: "The little brother was invited by the adults three years ago, and was entrusted with an important task in the Xuanwei Army, and then went to sea with the ship, and he had a lot of experience and gained a lot. Today, I have a promise from the adult, and the little brother has nothing to repay, so he can only thank the adult with a glass of water and wine! Wait for the day when the little brother will soar, and never forget the grace of the adults today! The little brother does it first for respect! ”
After speaking, he raised his glass and raised his head, and drank the fragrant wine that had been spilled half in one gulp.
Yang Congyi raised his glass and smiled: "It is fate to be able to work together, what kind and unkind." Sit and sit, don't be polite. After speaking, he drank all the wine in his glass.
Jiang Kai filled the two empty cups with a pot, raised his glass and said, "My lord, drink another cup!" As he spoke, he drank another glass of wine, and then sat down at the table.
Yang Congyi drank the wine in the cup and said with a smile: "Although the wine is good, don't be greedy for a cup!" ”
"If it is a good wine, you should drink a hundred cups more!" Jiang Kai was drunk, and when he was drunk, he was full of spirits, which was very different from when he was sober.
"Brother Jiang is drunk, don't drink anymore!" As Shen Jin spoke, he filled the empty wine glass on the table again.
"The little brother is not drunk, the little brother can drink again!" As he spoke, he picked up the cup on the table, raised his glass and said, "My lord, Brother Shen, drink this cup full!" ”
Yang Congyi and Shen Jin raised their glasses and drank together.
The old people get together, happy today, drunk while they are happy, why not!
After this meal, the stars are shining, and it is nearly two watches.
