Five taels of silver, if it is a family of three ordinary people, it is enough for half a year's living expenses, if a few people drink, Xiao Er will naturally not ask, but there are so many people today, how much silver will it cost, so he has no bottom in his heart, so he asked Fang Hao carefully.

Fang Hao smiled: "What's the matter?" Hurry up and serve the wine, until we have drunk enough today, are you afraid that we will not give you silver? ”

......, many old scholars gasped, the twenty-year-old daughter of five taels of silver and one altar is red? This kind of good daughter is red, and a jar is only about a pound of wine, who has ever drunk such expensive wine?

However, when I heard Fang Hao say that he had drunk enough, all of them had a light in their eyes, revealing excitement, which of the scholars of the Great Song Kingdom did not love fine wine? It's just that I used to be shy in my pocket, so I could only drink some cheap and bad wine.

Although the old Hanlin people have been poor all their lives, they are all full of splendid articles, and they are all high-minded and arrogant when they are young, but their personalities are too high-minded, they don't understand the world, or they don't want to bend their waists to the powerful, so they were sent to retire in this Qingshui Yamen.

But even so, if you think that whoever invites them to drink will drink, you are very wrong.

The disciples who have gained fame by imparting their studies in the past few decades have long been all over the government and the opposition, whether those disciples are already high-ranking officials and Houlu court officials, or small sesame officials who are still guarding the pastoral side of the prefecture and county, under the inheritance of the etiquette and religion of the great Song Dynasty, who dares to disrespect them?

If they really want to get some wealth and convenience, they can actually get it.

However, in their lives, the most proud and protected thing is that their bones will never bend their waists for five buckets of rice.

The wine that others have given them, they do not drink; Others co-opt them with wine, and they don't drink it; Others sympathize with their wine, they don't drink.

But today is different, since this young man entered the Hanlin Academy, although no one talked to him, all eyes were staring at him and observing him.

This young man was humble, he respected every old man, and he was able to listen to their teachings, especially in the afternoon, when the two scholars were actually intent on teaching him a long time, but he had been bending down to listen without the slightest impatience on his face.

Although he was sent to this lifeless Qingshui Yamen, he was not discouraged or depressed, he cleaned up his old office in a chic manner, and was very polite and bought the most suitable gifts for each old man.

These gifts are the items that the old Hanlin complained about in front of the white scholars, this young man is very attentive, he remembers everyone's needs clearly, so, although the things are not worth much, but this intention is the greatest respect for the old Hanlin.

In addition, I heard that Bai Daxue said that this young man was sleek and iron-clad on the Golden Palace, even in the face of the powerful Cai Taishi, he was not afraid, and finally made Cai Taishi lose face in front of His Majesty, and Tong Guan traitor was demoted by two levels, and the old Hanlin remembered the scene when they offended the powerful back then, and they couldn't help but have a common hatred for the enemy.

Today is the wine of this humble and courteous, iron-clad young man who is filial to them, and they must drink it, not only to drink it, but to drink it heartily.

After a while, a jar still with a fresh earthy smell of the daughter red was sent in by the beads, Xiao Er Yi opened the mud seal for them, the amber wine poured into the cup, thick like honey hanging on the wall of the cup, the rich aroma suddenly filled the huge private room, the old Hanlin squinted their eyes one by one, inhaled a long breath, and their faces were all intoxicated.

Scholar Bai stood up and raised his wine glass high, and said with a loud smile: "Colleagues, our Hanlin Academy has not been so lively for a long time, thanks to Fang Hao's blessing, we are fortunate to be able to conspire together in this Penglai Pavilion today, come, drink this cup together." ”

All the old Hanlin raised their wine glasses in their hands and shouted in unison, "Drink together." ”

After a glass of mellow wine, the old Hanlin were all smiling and praised: "Good wine, good wine." ”

Scholar Bai raised the second glass, laughed, and was about to say the second toast when the door of the room was kicked open with a bang.

All the old Hanlins, along with Fang Hao and Bai Daxue, were stunned and looked towards the door at the same time.

A fat and a thin man dressed as servants stood proudly at the door, looking inside with slanted eyes without saying a word, and a little second ran over behind him, bowing and smiling at them again and again: "Two two, this room has long been chartered by the adults of the Hanlin Academy, and the small one should find a separate private room for you." ”

The thin servant snorted coldly and said, "What's so great about the poor pedant of the Hanlin Academy? Let them change places, my lord is going to treat the first genius in Tokyo City, the son of Ximen. ”

Xiao Er said with a bitter face: "This and this, there is no reason for this, people have already eaten this, how can they change the land?" ”

The fat servant was furious when he heard this, and he raised his hand viciously and slapped Xiao Er with a big slap, and hit Xiao Er with a groan, and fell backwards, bleeding from the corners of his mouth, but he was obviously very afraid of these two servants, so he got up and hid in the corner with his face covered, and didn't dare to say a word.

The fat servant's anger did not subside, and he wanted to step forward and kick Xiao Er, but the shopkeeper of the restaurant had already run forward, and even dragged the fat servant to persuade him, and kept laughing in his hand: "Dissipate the gas, dissipate the gas, there is something to say, haha." ”

The fat servant sneered: "Shopkeeper, for the sake of my lord always coming to Penglai Pavilion to drink, today Lao Tzu will give you a face, let these poor scholars quickly change rooms, and then dare to make noise, Lao Tzu will demolish your restaurant." ”

The shopkeeper was very embarrassed, but he was a businessman, and he knew that he couldn't afford to offend the lord behind the servant, so he had to come over with a bitter face and give a deep salute to the white scholar sitting at the top, and pleaded with a sad face: "This Lord Hanlin, you are always good, none of us businessmen dare to offend the distinguished guests, but ...... Just ......"

He knew that this request was too unreasonable and difficult to speak.

The old Hanlin people present all showed anger on their faces, but they were all knowledgeable people, and they had always looked at the head of the white scholar, and if the scholar did not speak, it was naturally inconvenient for them to open their mouths and scold.

Fang Hao didn't know whose master was so arrogant, but when he heard that he was going to invite Ximen Gongzi, the expression on his face suddenly became rich, Ximen Wenxuan, haha, I don't know if your kid is unfavorable for the past year, and he can always bump into Lao Tzu.

Before Scholar Bai could speak, he jumped up in anger and sneered: "Shopkeeper, are you unreasonable? Is there anyone who does this business for you? ”

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "This...... This, their eldest lord is the head of the household department Shangshujin, when the second product of the dynasty, the small ones open a restaurant to eat mixed rice, where to offend? ”

Scholar Bai wanted to open his mouth to scold, but when he heard that it was actually a servant of Lord Shangshujin of the Ministry of Households, his heart moved, and he closed his mouth again, and looked at Fang Hao without saying a word.

When Fang Hao heard that it was Lord Jin, his mind suddenly remembered the fat-headed and big-eared dead fat man on the Golden Palace, he didn't even shoot Cai Jing and King Jing Zhao Qi, how could he be afraid of any dead fat Lord Jin, besides, what kind of bullshit Lord Jin invited today, but Ximen Wenxuan, and Lao Tzu is Ximen Wenxuan's nemesis.

Thinking of this, he immediately laughed: "Lord Jin? Is it the dead fat man in the household? Look at how scared you are. ”
