As the New Year approached, the flavor of the New Year in Qindao City began to thicken, and in a tavern in this bustling downtown area, a young scholar was reading a book with relish, perhaps because he was too engaged, he even chanted aloud, "The sky is against the earth, and the rain is against the wind." Continents against the sky. Mountain flowers to sea trees, red sun to the sky. The thunder is faint and foggy. The sun goes down against the sky. The wind is high and the autumn moon is white, and the rain is red at sunset. The cow girl is about the two star rivers, and the two Yao fights in the west and the east. In October, the sassy frost frightened the brigade; On the Sandong River, the snow is cold and the fish are ......... Wonderful, seconds, it's really wonderful, with this rhyme, it is not difficult to compose poems in the future, His Royal Highness the King of Han is really a god and a man!! ”

This scholar was immersed in it, and did not care about other people's opinions, he held a copy of "Rhyme" engraved by Qindao Xinhua Book Company in his hand, shaking his head, obviously enjoying it.

Suddenly, the scholar raised his head and looked at the door of the tavern, only to see two pieces of red paper hanging on both sides of the door, and two rows of words were written on the paper, "It's really sad that the wine in the cup is not satisfied, how can the customers in the store be drunk!" ”

The scholar took a look, couldn't help but put down the "Rhyme" in his hand, and laughed, "This wine union is very in line with a certain mind, the restaurant will give a certain three catties of good Langya burning knife, I want to get drunk before .......resting."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the bartender running over, "Guest officer, you have already drunk half a catty of burning knives, this is a strong wine, far from being comparable to those yellow soups, besides, this wine is not cheap...... You see...... "Although the bartender said politely, he implied that the scholar should be in moderation.

"It's okay, you just take the wine, and your wine money is indispensable....... The scholar was a little angry, and his tone couldn't help but be a little up, which seemed a little harsh.

"Then, that guest officer, I'm ugly in the front, this wine is very strong, if you drink and get drunk, then don't blame us for sending you to see the official....." Seeing that the scholar insisted, the bartender said, at this time, the owner of the restaurant came out, and he said to the scholar with a smile, "Guest officer, look at your dress and accent, it shouldn't be from our Han Kingdom, too, only in our Han Kingdom restaurant, can you drink such spirits..... if you drink a pound of spirits invented by Our Royal Highness and are not drunk, then I will waive your wine money, and give you a few good dishes from our Qin Island, so that you can have a good .........."

"Oh? Boss, are you saying that this wine is the recipe of His Royal Highness the King of Han? When the scholar heard the tavernkeeper's words, he asked in surprise.

"Yes, guest officer, the name of this wine is called Langya Tai Burning Knife, the original Langya Tai wine is the authentic 'Langya Red', although the wine is rich, clear and sweet, refreshing, but it is rice wine, far from the soju invented by His Royal Highness is comparable, you also drank it just now, how about it, this wine is strong enough, right? It's not me bragging, there is no one who can not get drunk after drinking half a pound of burnt knives......." The tavernkeeper's words were full of pride.

The scholar was stunned for a moment, and quickly reacted, "Shopkeeper, are you saying that this wine is not rice wine?" So what is it made of? ”

"Hahaha, naturally it's food...... the tavern owner has a good business today, and he is in a good mood, so he chatted with the scholar a few more words, "Let me tell you, this wine is not simple, a hundred catties of good rice can produce thirty or forty catties of wine........"

"Woohoo, so low?" The scholar loves wine, but he didn't expect the wine rate to be so low, he couldn't help but speak, "Shopkeeper, this wine invented by His Royal Highness since ancient times is delicious......., but what is the food?" If there is a year of famine, wouldn't it be ......"

The scholar didn't say anything, but the meaning was very clear, the tavern owner listened to haha, he led the scholar to the top floor of the restaurant, and pointed to the south with his hand, "Guest officer, have you seen it?" That port is full of grain ships from our Han Kingdom, whether it is corn from Goguryeo Silla Baekje or polished rice from Linyi and Chitu Kingdom, as long as the people of our Han Kingdom want it, then His Royal Highness the King of Han will have a way to get it for us, so how can we be afraid of any food shortage? Hehehe, there is grain, why don't you make wine? ”

“…………..” The scholar who was familiar with poetry and books and boasted of being Kong Ming in the world was stunned for a moment, God, can you still play like this?

After the scholar came down from the upper floor, he was thoughtful, and then the tavern owner asked, "Guest officer, do you want this wine or not?" ”、

"If you want it, why not? This kind of wine is my favorite Mabin King...... Bring the wine .......," the scholar was stunned for a long time before he said.

"Korat !!" After the bartender heard it, he saw the restaurant owner nodding and went to get the wine, at this moment, the scholar saw a piece of paper full of words on the next table, he took a closer look, he knew this thing, since he entered the Han Kingdom, he knew that this was a newspaper, a kind of thing similar to the Di newspaper, but the newspaper of the Han Kingdom was facing the vast number of ordinary people, and the audience was larger.

"Huh? His Royal Highness the King of Han wants to hold a Spring Festival couplet competition? Will His Royal Highness the King of Han attend in person? What a chance, what a chance!! The scholar's eyes lit up when he saw this, "Hehehe, as the so-called upward and downward effect, His Royal Highness the King of Han likes couplets, and the folk are naturally popular, why don't I be so ......."

The scholar drank while summing up, and unconsciously, he actually drank three catties of burning knives, but he was not drunk, which made the tavern owner and bartender amazed, "Guest officer, good amount of wine..... look at the guest officer, you are a scholar, why don't you leave a pair of ink treasures in our shop, how about it?" "The owner of the restaurant is more enthusiastic now.

"Okay, bring a pen and ......" The scholar asked for a pen and paper, and after a moment of silence, he said, "I heard that His Royal Highness the King of Han is preparing to hold a couplet competition...... In this case, if you are not talented, you will leave a pair of wine couplets for your store....."

I saw this scholar splashing ink, a couplet jumped on the paper, the tavern owner was coarse and ink, he stepped forward to take a look, and saw that the couplet was "East no matter, West no matter, tavern!" The tavern owner couldn't help but be happy, this is too straightforward, and then look at the next couplet, "South or north, drink!" He couldn't help but admire, "Sir, good union, good words!! ”

He looked at the place where the money was settled, and saw the three words of King Mabin, and the tavern owner was happy to let people take it and frame it, and he knew through observation that this young scholar was a capable man, and maybe one day the carp would jump over the dragon gate, and then this couplet would be of great use, and perhaps the tavern owner could not have imagined that this couplet would become an heirloom for his descendants.......

King Ma Bin, that's right, this young scholar is the aforementioned Ma Zhou, after he saw Li Chengzong's Han army in Qizhou, he returned to his birthplace, Chiping, Bozhou, where he found a job, but because of his arrogant personality, plus he was born in the Han clan, so he was ridiculed and ridiculed by those officials of the Shi clan, he resigned from the official in a fit of anger, and after saluting, he traveled all the way east to Qindao, I plan to see if I can find an opportunity for him to belong to Ma Zhou in Li Chengzong, a prince who doesn't value his family........
