"Let him go." Cui Xiang waved his hand, and he didn't seem to be angry at all because of Zheng Hao's rudeness, "Zheng Tong was born in the Zheng family in Xingyang, he is a child of a family, he has always been pampered, he doesn't know that the world is difficult, he doesn't know that officialdom is sinister, it doesn't matter, after experiencing a few things, he will know that this official is good for him." Or Xia Xianzun understands the righteousness, it's not too early, come, have lunch with the official. ”

Lunch was arranged in Cui Xiang's inner house, in addition to Cui Xiang, Xia Xiang and Xu Heguang, Zheng Hao, who had left in a bad mood, also came back to accompany him, and Li Heng also came.

Cui Xiang naturally sat at the top, Xia Xiang accompanied him on the left, Zheng Hao on the right, Li Heng sat on the right side of Zheng Hao, Xu Heguang sat on the left side of Xia Xiang, and Xu Wangshan and Ma Qingyuan sat on the last seat.

The meal is a common cuisine in the north, rich and large, there are flower cooking quail, milk room sign, three crispy soup, sprout belly, quail soup, belly, mandarin duck fried belly, sandfish and so on, not only many varieties, the color is also very good-looking.

The wine is bamboo leaf green and peach wine.

Xia Xiang drank a little peach wine, which was very sweet in the mouth, similar to a drink. He saw that Zheng Hao was still unhappy, and he didn't feel funny in his heart, so he toasted Zheng Hao. Although Zheng Hao was reluctant, he couldn't refuse Xia Xiang in person, so he had to touch Xia Xiang perfunctorily, then drank it all, put down the cup, and didn't look at Xia Xiang.

How can you be so childlike? Xia Xiang couldn't stop laughing, with Zheng Hao's character, I am afraid it is difficult to work with Cui Xiang. With Cui Xiang's veteran methods, Zheng Hao is by no means Cui Xiang's opponent, and sooner or later he will be caught by Cui Xiang and participate in a book.

Xu Heguang had a verbal conflict with Zheng Hao just now, but now he also toasted Zheng Hao as if he was nothing. Zheng Hao still had a cold face, as if he owed him money, but he didn't refuse to come, and everyone toasted and drank. He also drank a good amount of wine, and drank four or five glasses in a row, and his face did not change.

"Xia County Honored ......" Cui Xiang put down his chopsticks and glanced at Xia Xiang gently, "If you are willing, this official will let Liu Changting and Xie Huagai visit the county government in the near future." ”

"The subordinate officer takes the order." Xia Xiang was respectful.

"This official is just mentioning it, it doesn't have to be Liu Changting and Xie Huagai to take over, if you have better candidates, you can do without the two of them, as long as the implementation of the new law is strong, this official should help him." Cui Xiang raised his glass, "This official toasts everyone." ”

Everyone raised their glasses and drank them all.

Zheng Hao put down the wine glass and picked up the chopsticks, which were raised in the air and stopped: "If there is a suitable candidate for the lower officials to take over the granary and grain business, what will Cui Fuzun say?" ”

Xu Heguang's chopsticks were halfway up, and when he heard this, he also stopped, and he said with great displeasure: "Zheng Tong has to go against Cui Fuzun everywhere?" ”

Zheng Hao was annoyed when he heard this, and stood up with a "whew": "This official is the general judge of the Zhending Mansion, and he has the duty of supervising the prefect, and all the matters done by Cui Fuzun cannot be written without the joint signature of the official." ”

Li Heng lowered his head to eat the vegetables, looking indifferent from the matter. Xu Wangshan and Ma Qingyuan also bowed their heads and were silent, the gods fought, if mortals stepped forward, they would definitely suffer, so it was best if it was none of their business. Xia Xiang smiled helplessly, Zheng Hao said in public that he had the authority to supervise Cui Xiang, which was a ruthless approach.

Cui Xiang's body paused slightly, the anger in his eyes flashed, and then he became calm again, he raised his chopsticks and put a piece of braised pork in his mouth, chewed it a few times, and said in admiration: "Fragrant but not greasy, fat but not oily, it must be made of half-sized suckling pig." Zheng Tong judged, if the official likes to eat braised pork and orders the kitchen to do it, does he also need you to sign it? ”

Zheng Hao was choked up: "This is a private matter, and the officials will not ask about private matters." ”

"It's good to know that there is a clear distinction between public and private." Cui Xiang looked at Xia Xiang with a smile, "This official recommended Liu Changting and Xie Huagai to Xia Xianzun, which is also a private matter. This official has a very good personal relationship with Liu Changting and Xie Huagai, and he introduced him to Xia Xianzun in his personal capacity, Zheng Tongju, you can't stop it? ”

"Xiaguan...... Can't. Zheng Hao was choked and had nothing to say, and in a hurry, he had to throw the problem to Xia Xiang again, "Xia Guan is also a suitable candidate to Xia Xianzun in his personal capacity to take over the granary and grain business, Cui Fuzun won't mind, right?" ”

Li Heng's head lowered lower, and he quickly grabbed a few chopsticks and stuffed his mouth. Xu Wangshan and Ma Qingyuan now regret staying for dinner, how good it was to say goodbye earlier, but now the scene is so embarrassing, in case Cui Fuzun is angry with them, they will be too innocent.

"How can this official mind? Haha, Zheng Tong sentenced you to be too good at laughing. Cui Xiang glanced at Zheng Hao with interest, as if he was looking at a child who likes to make trouble, "Originally, this matter is within the division of Zhending County, and Zhending Mansion only assists, and has no right to decide." ”

The implication is that Zheng Hao should not recommend candidates to Xia Xiang as a general judge.

Zheng Hao raised his glass: "Xia Xianzun, you and I were originally Jinshi in the same year, and because of Brother Teng's acquaintance, and now we are officials in the same place in Zhending, and there is also fate, come, this official respects you a glass." ”

Xia Xiang didn't raise his glass, sat still, and said with a smile: "Zheng Tongju and this official have already cut off their robes and broken their righteousness, why are they destined again?" ”

Xu Heguang squirted out a sip of tea with a "poof", and was busy apologizing for faux pas. Cui Xiang couldn't help laughing and put on a posture of watching the fire from the other side. With Zheng Hao's temper, no one can bear it, that is, he can still endure three points.

Zheng Hao's wine glass was held in the air, his face was blue and white, and as soon as he gritted his teeth, he drank the wine in the toast in one gulp: "This official will do it first as a respect." ”

Xia Xiang also raised his wine glass slowly: "Since Zheng Tongju is so sincere, this official can only accompany him." After speaking, he also drank the wine in the toast, and then smiled slightly, "Zheng Tong judges, but there is a suitable candidate to recommend?" ”

Zheng Hao saw that Xia Xiang gave him a step, so he came down: "Exactly, this person Xia Xianzun also knows, it is Lian Ruohan Lian's little lady." ”

"Lian Ruohan?" The chopsticks in Cui Xiang's hand fell down, and as soon as there was a dingdong, his face changed greatly, "Zheng Tongju also knows the little lady?" ”

"There have been several encounters." Zheng Hao looked proud, "Cui Fuzun, with the strength of the little lady, is it enough to take over the granary and grain business?" ”

Cui Xiang didn't answer Zheng Hao's words, but turned his head and asked Xia Xiang: "How is Xia County's respect?" ”

Xia Xiang has now become the fulcrum of Cui Xiang and Zheng Hao's competition, somewhat innocent and injured, although Li Heng pretended to bury his head in eating, he was worried about Xia Xiang in his heart. No matter how you answer, no matter which side you prefer, Xia Xianzun will always offend one side. Unexpectedly, the newly appointed Zheng Tongju was actually a child of such a scholarly family, why did he have to force Xia Xianzun to make a decision in person?

It just so happened that Cui Fuzun also intended to test Xia Xiang, and Zheng Hao did so, so that Cui Fuzun took the opportunity to create problems for Xia Xianzun and see how Xia Xianzun responded. Poor Zheng Hao, who thinks he is smart and aggressive, does not realize that he has become a pawn of Cui Xiang throwing stones at Xia Xiang to ask for directions.

Li Heng peeked at Xia Xiang, and saw that Xia Xiang was calm, not nervous, and there was no trace of panic, and he secretly admired in his heart, Xia Xiang and Zheng Hao were of the same age, but they were much calmer than Zheng Hao, no wonder Lian Niangzi attached great importance to Xia Xiang, Xia Xianzun was really different from ordinary people.

Xu Heguang also looked at Xia Xiang quietly and secretly, wondering how Xia Xiang would respond. Although Liu Changting and Xie Huagai are rich and rival the country, they are still quite different from Lian Ruohan. However, for Xia Xiang and even Ruohan to know each other, he was also slightly surprised in his heart. Although there are accidents, if you think about it carefully, it is also reasonable.

Xia Xiang observed his words and knew that everyone here had different thoughts, and Zheng Hao wanted to force him to express his position, so that he could use his mouth to compete with Cui Xiang. Xu Heguang wanted to see if he was inclined to Cui Fuzun or Zheng Hao, Li Heng was worried about him, while Xu Wangshan and Ma Qingyuan were completely in a posture of watching the fire from the other side for fear of getting into trouble.

Xia Xiang smiled: "Even the little lady has seen and dealt with her, although she is a woman, she is also quite visionary and courageous." Liu Changting and Xie Huagai heard about it for the first time, and they had never met...... Therefore, this matter is not in a hurry, although even the little lady has strength, she may not be interested in the granary and grain business. Although Liu Changting and Xie Huagai have intentions, they are not necessarily the most suitable candidates, and they have to be talked about after the official has seen them. Come, drink, drink. ”

Not leaking, amazing, Cui Xiang secretly admired Xia Xiang's wisdom, he had such an old and spicy wrist at such a young age, no wonder the third prince had to send Xia Xiang to Zhending, it was really not a good character.

But...... Xia Xiang is a young man and an old man, after all, he has experienced too few storms and waves, and he can be smart enough to deal with a momentary emergency, but when it comes to the wind and waves, he is still difficult to deal with.

Thinking of this, Cui Xiang also accepted it when he saw it, Xia Xiang just came to Zhending, and there was no need to force him to be in a hurry, so he raised his glass: "Today's banquet, don't talk about business, don't talk about business, come, drink, drink." ”

"There is no problem with drinking, the official was angry for a while, and said the words of cutting off his robe with Xia Xianzun, and the official compensated Xia Xianzun for not doing it, and fined him three glasses of wine." Zheng Hao still refused to let go of Xia Xiang, Xia Xiang's answer to avoid truth made him very dissatisfied, he drank three glasses of wine in a row, "Xia Xianzun, but satisfied?" ”

Xia Xiang didn't understand why Zheng Hao had to chase him today, he didn't like to cause trouble, but he wasn't afraid of things, so he turned his heart and poured three glasses of wine: "Okay, since Zheng Tong sentenced him to drink three glasses in a row, the official also accompanied three glasses to show respect." ”

"Xia Xianzun, how about a cup for Xiaomin?" Xu Wangshan couldn't look past Zheng Hao's pressing on Xia Xiang step by step, and he buried his head for a long time, and finally found a place to use it.

"Nope." Zheng Hao waved his hand and said, "Xia Xianzun accompanied the official for three cups, it was Xia Xianzun and the official who drank wine, what do you have to do with it?" ”

Xu Wangshan was choked and rolled his eyes, he had been in Zhending for many years, and he could be regarded as a rich man, even Cui Xiang had to be polite to him, but Zheng Hao was so disrespectful to him, which really made him unacceptable.

But it's hard to accept and there is no way, Zheng Hao is an official and he is the people, and the people don't fight with the officials, he only swallowed his anger and gave Xia Xiang an apologetic look.

Xia Xiang responded to him with a heartfelt smile, and without saying a word, he drank the three glasses of wine in turn, wiped his mouth, and shouted: "Cui Fuzun, the lower officials will be brave - bring the wine." ”

Cui Xiang laughed: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say, come here, take the wine." ”

Zheng Hao was also not to be outdone: "Come on, change the big bowl." ”

After a few moments, several jars of wine and bowls were brought up. Zheng Hao slapped open a jar of wine, poured three bowls in one go, and looked at Xia Xiang provocatively: "Xia Xianzun, you and I are not drunk today, how about it?" ”

"Okay, it's better than getting drunk in life, but today is in the Cui Mansion Mansion, not a place to get drunk." Xia Xiang had to ask Cui Xiang's master for advice first, although he could also guess that Cui Xiang wished he and Zheng Hao were drunk together.

"This is not a place to get drunk, come, come with this official." Cui Xiang smiled mysteriously, lifted his shirt and turned to leave, and several people followed behind him, through the doorway through the corridor, to the backyard.

In the backyard, there is a garden with rockeries, ponds, scenery, flowers and trees, and in the middle of the yard, there is a pavilion, and in the pavilion, the wine and food have been arranged. Cui Xiang pointed to the pavilion with his hand and smiled: "The scenery here is the best, and at this time it is the time of high autumn and crisp weather. ”

Several people came to the pavilion and sat down. Sure enough, it is a good place, as far as the eye can see, in the pond, the reeds are everywhere, the wind is moving, and the rustling sounds. The rockery in the distance is high and low, and there are tree shadows reflecting, which is really a beautiful scene.

The autumn wind blew, and the whole body was refreshing and very comfortable, but Cui Xiang showed a slight fear of cold. Seeing this, Xu Heguang hurriedly asked people to take the cloak and put it on.

"The dignity of the Cui Mansion is not safe?" Xia Xiang saw that Cui Xiang's face was sallow, but his cheeks were flushed, and he couldn't help but worry slightly, "It's windy here, so it's better to stop the wine fight." ”

"Out of the way." Cui Xiang waved his hand, "Could it be that the official is happy today, come, the official will also accompany the two of you to have a bowl." ”

"Cui Fuzun ......" Xu Heguang reminded with concern, "The body is important, and you can't drink too much wine." ”

"One bowl, one bowl." Cui Xiang smiled and raised a bowl of wine, "Come, let's toast together." ”

Everyone raised their glasses and drank them all.

"Others fight tea, you and I fight wine, Xia Xianzun, what kind of fighting method, you come to draw a doorway." Zheng Hao didn't forget to compare wine with Xia Xiang, "Is it a literary fight or a martial arts fight?" ”

The wind of Daxia tea fighting is prevalent, there are not many wine fights, it is not that Daxia people are not good at wine, but Daxia is very strict with wine management, Daxia allows more than 100 restaurants to make wine, called the main store, and the rest of the restaurants need to sell wine, they must buy from the main store that allows winemaking.

Moreover, wine is expensive, and ordinary people can afford to consume it, but they can't afford it. There is another point, Daxia governs the country with literature, emphasizing literature over martial arts, tea fighting is an elegant thing, and wine fighting is easy to get drunk and cause incidents, so wine fighting is extremely rare.

There was no public wine fight, and it was nothing to fight wine in private, but for Xu Wangshan and Ma Qingyuan, although the two were well-informed, it was the first time they saw the county zun and the general judge fighting wine, and their eyes suddenly widened.

"How's Wendou? What about martial arts? Xia Xiang knew that Zheng Hao was from Xingyang, and Zhending went south for more than 1,000 miles, and it was very different from Zhending in terms of customs and customs.

"Wendou is a bowl of you and a bowl of me, drink slowly and fight slowly." Zheng Hao smiled confidently, "Martial arts...... Naturally, it's a fast drink and a quick fight for you and me. ”

"It's not as good as civil and military fighting, how?" Xia Xiang laughed, arrogant, slapped the sealed paper of the jar with one palm, poured a bowl of peach wine, and threw the wine bowl into the wine jar, "Both civil and military, take the best of both worlds." ”

Xu Heguang gasped, although the peach wine is made from grapes and sugar, without koji, it is the original wine, the sweetness is very high, and the degree is very low, but it is also wine. The sake in the jar is brewed with rice, the color is whitish, and after brewing, it is grilled with charcoal fire, burning out a strong paste fragrance, which can be stored for a long time, so it is also called "shochu".

The peach wine is red in color, mixed with white soju, and it becomes a red and white wine, and no one has ever drunk the two wines together.

Xia Xiang took the lead, after mixing the wine together, he picked up the wine jar, tilted his neck, drank it in one go, and then put the jar down, laughing: "Happy!" ”

"Xia, Xia Xianzun, what does it taste like?" Xu Wangshan's eyes straightened, and he stammered and asked, "Is it good, is it delicious?" ”

"Taste it yourself." Xia Xiang concocted a jar of red and white wine in the same way and handed it to Xu Wangshan, "The flavor is peculiar and wonderful." ”

Xu Wangshan didn't dare to drink a jar, and poured out two bowls, one bowl for him and Ma Qingyuan. After tasting it, he applauded again and again: "It's really good, Xia Xianzun's today's events should be remembered by future generations." ”

Xu Wangshan guessed correctly, a few years later, someone wrote the book "Red and White Wine": "Wine has harmony, Zhixian Xia Xiang is the sum of white wine, the strength of red wine, the hand self-dose, combined into one, killed with white ash, the flavor is quite strange." Since then, the red and white wine created by Xia Xiang has been passed down to the world.

"Zheng Tongju, don't you dare to drink it?" Ma Qingyuan looked at Zheng Hao with a blank eye, and when he saw Zheng Hao stunned on the spot, he couldn't help but joke, "If you don't dare, Xiaomin can replace him." ”

"Who said that this official would not dare?" Zheng Hao pulled over a jar of wine, patted open the seal, poured a bowl of peach wine into the jar, shook it a few times, and then lifted a jar of wine, raised his neck, and drank it.

When Xia Xiang was drinking, although he held the jar high, he was quite elegant, and the wine did not flow outside. Zheng Hao is different, his neck and body are everywhere, and after drinking a jar of wine, there is as much as half a jar of wine sprinkled outside.

"How?" Zheng Hao finished drinking, put the jar down, and looked arrogant, "Are you still afraid that you won't succeed?" ”

"No, no!" Xu Heguang didn't let go of Zheng Hao easily, got up and took out a towel and wiped it on Zheng Hao's body a few times, and then twisted the towel hard, and the wine flowed out of it, "Zheng Tongju, drinking alcohol only counts when you drink it in your stomach, and you can't drink it on your body." Xia Xianzun has not touched a drop of wine. ”

"What does Xu Xiancheng want?" Zheng Hao didn't have a good face for Xu Heguang, and glared angrily.
