Chapter Seventy-Two: A Glass of Spirits Speaks to the Heart

After thanking a few judges, he refused the banquet invitation of the restaurant manager, and Luo Yan took the wine and walked down the restaurant in a large group of onlookers. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Luo Yan is not worried that those judges and restaurant stewards will have a bad idea about themselves, today is the first day of the Shangyuan Festival, everyone's interest is in the lantern festival on the street, who wants to nest in the restaurant at this time with a large group of people who are not close to each other.

What's more, there are two little followers by her side, and the little girl Ying'er is not too heavy at this time, holding the wine jar firmly in her arms, and her eyes are staring at Qu Tuquan. And Qu Tuquan didn't have the consciousness of a big man at all, and his eyes were staring at the arms of the little girl.

Looking at this pair of living treasures, Luo Yan couldn't laugh or cry. If you want to talk about Ying'er, the little girl didn't do anything wrong, but she was a little more wary of Qu Tuquan's goods. As for Qu Tuquan's goods, people's attention was originally on the wine, and they never left the wine when they met them at that time. So Luo Yan could only say nothing.

When they left the restaurant, Luo Yan and Chen Yizhi made an appointment to be in a tavern not far from Kaihuafang during the day tomorrow. It was one of the few places where Luo Yan knew that he could bring his own wine, but fortunately, Chen Yizhi was the old Chang'an, and he happened to know that place, so Luo Yan said that he would drink it with Chen Yizhi tomorrow.

For Chen Yizhi, Luo Yan has an inexplicable good impression. The other party's talent Luo Yan doesn't know a lot, but since he can participate in the Ming Jing exam, it is not easy to think about it. But what Luo Yan admires even more is this character, people's dedication to a good poem is definitely not comparable to the kind of person who treats writing poetry as a plaything.

Seeing that the little girl Ying'er had a posture that she would not let go of the wine jar if she didn't leave, Luo Yan had no choice but to persuade her to give the wine to herself. If he hadn't agreed to Chen Yizhi, in fact, Luo Yan would have wanted to drink this jar of wine now. On the one hand, Qu Tuquan, a drunkard, has green eyes, and on the other hand, it is really inconvenient to go shopping with such a heavy thing.

After watching it for a while, thinking that he believed in Luo Yan's character, Qu Tuquan said that he would drink with Luo Yan tomorrow, so he separated from Luo Yan and them early. In fact, this thing really can't stand the little girl Ying'er staring at him with a thief-proof look.

There's no way, Ying'er doesn't say it, but she is very anxious in her heart. Just now, Qu Tuquan said more than once that he wanted to go to Ji Yaxuan with Luo Yan tonight, and in her heart, the little girl didn't want Luo Yan to go to that kind of place. So Qu Tuquan looks more and more sloppy and getting worse and worse.

She just wanted to stare Luo Yan to death, anyway, Luo Yan wouldn't take her to that kind of place, so Qu Tuquan's plan would not have to be ruined obediently.

In the end, Ying'er won.

Seeing Qu Tuquan leave unwillingly, the little girl had the brightest smile on her face in the past half a day, that is, even when Luo Yan bought her fried chestnuts at that time, her smile was not as sweet as it is now.

As if winning a battle, the little girl's feet are particularly brisk at this time, and this lantern has become incidental, and jumping to express her inner excitement is the main play.

This is a bitter Luo Yan, with a jar, he has to run in small steps to keep up with the little girl's pace.

I think there are two days left for the Lantern Festival, although there is no need for a curfew for these three days, and people can play on the street all night, but the little girl is weak after all, and she is tired of jumping down at this time, so she is clamoring to go back to the house to rest.

At this moment, Luo Yan finally felt relieved, and took the little girl back to sleep at the beginning of the excitement.

The next day was the real Shangyuan Festival, and it was said that Li Yuan would bring his clan relatives and hundred officials to have fun with the people at the Suzaku Gate that night, but these had nothing to do with Luo Yan. Today's highlight of Luo Yan is to drink with Qu Tuquan and Chen Yizhi.

Of course, Luo Yan had to bring a drag oil bottle when he went out. This little girl who turned into an oil bottle told Luo Yan solemnly that she wanted to keep an eye on Luo Yan and not let him learn badly from Qu Tuquan's kind of goods. Well, Luo Yan can only say that he is convinced by this reason. I had no choice but to take her out.

When Luo Yan arrived at the tavern, Qu Tuquan and Chen Yizhi had already started drinking. Although Qu Tuquan doesn't have any ink in his stomach, he can really attract a lot of people when he drinks. There is also a gap of more than ten years between Chen Yizhi and this product, although he can't be the same generation as Qu Tuquan's Lao Tzu, but it's more than enough to be an uncle or something, but I didn't expect Luo Yan to see these two people calling brothers and sisters there.

When Luo Yan's figure appeared in the sight of the two, the process of drinking immediately stopped. However, seeing Luo Yan's empty hands, he was disappointed again, and then picked up the wine bowl and drank it by himself. Obviously, these two thought that Luo Yan didn't bring wine. But when he saw Luo Yan behind him, his eyes lit up again, Qu Tuquan did this thing very directly, ran over to bypass Luo Yan, snatched the wine in the hands of the little girl Ying'er, opened the seal, and filled the three empty bowls on the table, and then sat down with Luo Yan and Ying'er.

The little girl who was robbed of something was naturally very unhappy, muttered, and sat on the side of Chen Yizhi. Luo Yan naturally sat down next to Ying'er.

"Shopkeeper, there is fruit brew in the store, come for two catties." Fruit brewing is actually fruit wine, but it is mixed with water, so the alcohol content is very low, and the sweet and sour taste is very popular with girls. If the little girl Ying'er drank alone, she would naturally not have so much. It's just that Luo Yan thought that he would also taste it, so he increased the amount.

Such a requirement is naturally easy to meet, this is like a spirit with a higher alcohol content, which is naturally impossible to get hold of in a restaurant that does not have some background in Chang'an. Many pubs sell local liquors such as Nishichi and Apoqing. Like Xinfeng, Lanling, Jiannan, and the like, they were all taken away by big restaurants, and there were basically no small shops. However, fruit wine is different, the production of fruit wine in Chang'an is not low, and basically every tavern has fruit wine for sale. What's more, this is in the first month, and it is only a month or two for the fruit wine to be ready.

Qu Tuquan was a little stunned, while Chen Yizhi reflected a scholar's respect for women, and when the fruit wine came up, Luo Yan poured the wine for Ying'er, and several people picked up the wine bowl and began to drink.

Spirits are actually best served in large bowls, which not only look bold, but also taste very pleasant, much better than small cups. And it also depends on who wants the wine utensils, Qu Tuquan, does this thing seem to be the kind of person who can drink slowly with a small wine cup?

Drinking is naturally accompanied by chatting, and after this bowl of wine, they are familiar with each other. Chen Yizhi expressed his admiration for this teenager who was more than ten years younger than himself.

"Jin Zhi is the one I admire the most in the younger generation, do you know why?" Chen Yizhi said.

"Could it be that he writes better poetry than you? So you feel that you can't compare, so you can only bow to the wind? Qu Tuquan didn't have any evasion at all, he spoke so directly, and he didn't give anyone face at all.

"Haha, you're wrong. When it comes to composing poetry, I, Chen Yizhi, will never convince anyone. That's just a momentary advantage or disadvantage, I can't say who is good and who is bad, maybe one day I will write a poem to praise the world. What I really admire is that Brother Luo was able to resolutely give up this official body and calm down to study. Chen Yizhi has his own pride in composing poetry, so he explained in detail.

"Before, it was rumored in Chang'an City that there was a Luo school book in the secretary province, and in addition to dealing with official business, eating and sleeping, he was reading a day. I don't believe it. There are many people like me, you must know that I am studying hard to gain fame, but after having fame, there are not many people who can calm down and study, not to mention that this legendary person is still a teenager. ”

Taking a sip of wine, Chen Yizhi continued: "Who would have thought that after being suspicious for a few months, someone suddenly told me that the legendary young man actually resigned directly to study hard. This makes those of us who have been on the list a few times embarrassed. Don't you know, I have a friend who heard about Jinzhi's resignation in order to study, so he directly left his wife and concubine in Chang'an City and moved to a mountain temple outside the city to study. ”

Qu Tuquan felt that there were still such fools in the world, so because he heard Luo Yan's resignation, he left his enjoyment to endure loneliness.

"It seems that I still have this role, and I can inspire others unintentionally." Luo Yan was a little self-deprecating.

"Don't underestimate yourself, if you can really study hard for three years as rumored by the outside world, I'm afraid that once you are born, I will have to look up to you. Thinking about us old fellows, there is no teenager who has the heart to read, and I am afraid that this sage book is just a shortcut to begging for fame in the hands of us and others. Chen Yizhi was a little disappointed when he said this, although Luo Yan took the Jinshi Course, which was lower than the Ming Classics Course, but people dared to give up their fame in order to study well, but they didn't have the courage to break the boat.

"Brother Chen is wrong. We are waiting to read the books of the sages, not to entertain ourselves in the grass hut, but to do something beneficial to the country and the people with what we have learned. Otherwise, being a farmer in the mountains is comfortable and tight. Since the imperial court has given me the opportunity to show my talents, although it is said that I am using this sage book to ascend to the throne, as long as I always have the country and the people in mind, why not defile myself. When Luo Yan said these words, he said them from the bottom of his heart.

After reading so many books, Luo Yan has not only gained rich knowledge, but also a growing sense of responsibility. He loves his identity as a descendant of Yan and Huang, and he also loves this era, since he knows some things that others don't know, why can't he change some bad things.

No matter where it is, no matter what time it is, as long as it is flowing with the blood of the Chinese nation, this national soul that is rooted in the blood cannot be lost. Whether you are rich or poor, you are all compatriots, and if you have the ability, why can't you do something to help others.
