Chapter 28: Parting
"The moon in the sky is round, round, but it's not as round as this Lantern Festival."
The person who spoke had his hair tied up with two thatches, and he should have been a miserable man.
Sitting on a bench, he threw his two official boots to the side and sat cross-legged on his knees. It's more like a person sitting on the side of the street asking for food.
"How to say, the moon is round, it's obviously more like the baked cakes on this plate."
The face-to-face people were a little reluctant, and when they saw the person who tied his hair with thatch, he didn't have much ink in his stomach, saying that the moon was like a Lantern Festival, and the moon was a flat shape, if it was like a Lantern Festival, how could the Lantern Festival be eaten.
A table is three people sitting together, two men and one woman are standard martial arts configurations, but the two men are not interested in this little girl whose body has not yet grown.
It makes people who are waiting for the bloody plot of a love triangle regret for a while.
"Brother Qian, tell me, is this moon more like the Lantern Festival or more like the baked cake on the plate."
Both of them looked at the young man in white who had been eating the Lantern Festival in the bowl and refused to speak.
"This matter is originally a matter of the benevolent and the wise. If you don't ask me about my opinion, you might as well ask someone you don't know, because someone like me who is familiar will always lean to one side according to feelings. ”
Qian Duo said and first squeezed his eyebrows at the girl who called Yue'er like a baked cake, meaning that if I say something, it must be biased towards you. Then wait for the girl to nod.
looked at the person who said that the moon was like a lantern festival, and he also squeezed his eyebrows to express his meaning. The result was satisfactory for both parties.
"If everyone in the world is so easy to deceive, the world will be the same by me, and there will be no intrigue between them."
Qian Duo muttered quietly. There are other things going on in my head, such as the fact that I don't have ink in my stomach is really scary.
For example, Li Bai, a poet immortal, will say when he sees the moon, "The child doesn't know the moon, so he calls it a white jade plate." "And between the three people, it is estimated that the one who has this talent will be himself.
And the two who are arguing about what Yue'er looks like are Xu Xin and Gu Mu. That's right, the three of them found a tavern this time, but they didn't pawn the rouge in Gu Mu's arms, which was only worth one or two or six dollars.
Instead, Qian Duo pawned a jade pendant with the word money on the sword. Of course, after the pawn, he only got seventeen taels or three dollars of silver, just when Qian Duo sighed that the pawnshop was really black, he walked out of the door and saw a big money word on the plaque, and he understood the truth of black.
"Why don't we ask for a mountain spring brew this time?"
The one who spoke was a little girl named Gu Mu, and the little girl was what Qian Duo and Xu Yan thought, and the girl in the 14th Five-Year Plan of the Tang Dynasty could already get married.
It's not a little girl. If you really think of yourself as a little girl, you will always suffer some losses. For example, the last time the three of them drank a jar of yellow sorghum wine.
"What do you think, Brother Qian?" Just now, Qian Duo squeezed his eyebrows again, of course, the tragic experience of one or two silver last time is still in his mind, and the wild vegetables in his mouth for the next half a month are also eaten, bitter in his heart.
"I think it's okay, seventeen taels of silver, remove one tael of silver, and the remaining sixteen taels of silver are enough for drinking."
Qian Duo always feels that if you don't drink, it's always incomplete, although you lost a tael of silver last time, but wine and meat together can be considered happy.
"Okay." If it is a show of hands to vote, two to one, Xu Yan has no way even if he opposes it. So I had to agree, and Gu Mu had already explained to the shopkeeper while the two of them were talking.
"The guest officer is here."
Although the shopkeeper looked at the clothes of the three people, he was probably reluctant to receive them, in case the three of them ran away after eating, at most they would be caught and beaten, which was not far from the feet of the Son of Heaven.
If it is really calculated, an adult will walk for half a day to arrive in Chang'an City. But the boss is indeed three extraordinary-looking, even if he is poor now, he will be prosperous in the future, if he is gone, it is nothing more than a meal of wine. And leaving some connections is what a tavern should do.
The wine came up, and each of the three black altars was one-eighth the size of a table, and slightly shorter than half the height of this square table.
But even so, even if you look at it this way, this jar of wine is much more than the yellow sorghum wine that the three of them drank before.
In the middle of the square table are three jars of mountain spring brew that Gu Mu never forgets, in front of one person is a bowl of Lantern Festival, a bowl of Lantern Festival with seven sesame fillings, and three bowls of twenty-one for three people.
Qian Duo asked for two large plates of meat for dishes, Gu Mu said that he liked to eat vegetables, so he asked for a plate of side dishes, but Xu Xin had no inclination, so Xiao Er listened to Xu Xin's words and brought two large plates of meat.
"Why don't you eat something and drink first?" Xu Xin looked at the wine jar a little weak, and the bowl of yellow sorghum wine he poured last time was still impressive.
In case, a bowl of wine is poured directly on the table, then it is a pity that the dishes on the table are pity.
"Of course, I drank while eating." Xu Xin's words did not fall, and Gu Mu was not very happy.
This mountain spring brew can be thought about for a long time, in the past, my father always said that he was too young to let himself drink, but now that he has the opportunity, of course, he will try it for the first time.
The two of them argued and looked at Qian Duo, who was eating Lantern Festival on the side, Qian Duo had to put the Lantern Festival he had just picked up into the bowl, and still didn't understand why these two people were so incompatible.
You can't be like yourself, alas, if you stay with them for a while, you guess your personality will change, right?
"Ahem, I think it's better to eat some food first, and it's better for the stomach to drink alcohol."
Although Qian Duo said this, he thought in his heart: "Gu Mu, who helped last time, should help Xu Yan this time in line with the principle that the rain and dew should be even." ”
Of course, it was definitely not because he could get drunk by drinking half a bowl of sorghum wine, and he was afraid that he would not be able to eat. sighed at his greatness, and then looked at a large plate of meat that had been wiped out by two people.
Since Qian Duo and Xu Yan's wine is so bad, although they only drank a few sips, they were still more dizzy than drinking a bowl of sorghum wine.
The two of them honestly didn't smash things this time, if they had to compete with the table with the same drunken fists as last time, I don't know if there would be people who would come to help Gu Mu knock these two unconscious.
Of course, today is not the Lantern Festival, because the original lanterns are not hung on the streets, and there are more of them at night than usual.
However, compared with the Lantern Festival, when the lanterns are hung at the door, people are much less when they guess the lantern riddles one by one.
What's more, the three of them had already gone long ago when they "celebrated the New Year" last time.
The reason why this Lantern Festival is celebrated is just because of this day of reunion.
The three of them have their own identities and have different views on everything, such as an ordinary moon Gu Mu thinks it is a baked cake, Xu Yan said that it is like a Lantern Festival, so why force it with such a personality.
After the Lantern Festival, even if the entire Spring Festival has passed, whether it is separation or something, the three people have their own psychological plans, but they did not ask each other what their plans are in the future.
The two men felt that it was always a bit hypocritical to ask, and Gu Mu always felt that he was a little shy when he asked.
And this sweaty BMW, which Qian Duo called a lazy horse, also felt the atmosphere of imminent separation, and did not neigh along the way.
Of course, it may also be that most of the time the three of them eat by themselves, and this horse is like a wild horse in the grassland, no one cares about him, and can only find one or two grasses on the snow-melted land that have not yet grown two inches to eat and fill their stomachs.
After all, before getting drunk, the two of them ate all the Lantern Festival in the bowl, and the five dishes were only left with Gu Mu's plate of dishes, and no one moved a mouthful, and Gu Mu didn't move a bite as if he couldn't see it.
At the end of a meal, it cost three taels of silver, one or two silver was used for eating, and one jar of silver was brewed in three altars of mountain springs.
However, the three of them drank a total of one jar plus a few sips, one jar was drunk by Gu Mu, and a few sips were indeed drunk by Xu Yan.
The three of them also lived in the inn for the first time, two rooms, one for Qian Duo and one for Xu Yan.
Gu Mu has his own room.
As for the horse, which had long since lost its red color, it seemed to have been forgotten outside. And no one cares.
The three of them faced the wall in the house, and they would be able to go to Chang'an tomorrow, but the three of them always hoped that they could come later tomorrow.
After all, I don't know when the next Lantern Festival will be for the three of them.
