Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Quadripartite Pavilion

If it weren't for Cui Xiang's leadership, Zhang Baoer would definitely not be able to enter the Sifang Pavilion. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

This is the first time Zhang Baoer has entered the imperial city, looking east and west, a pair of eyes is not enough.

Li Zhiying and Li Nunu arrived in front of the Sifang Pavilion one step ahead of Zhang Baoer.

Until this time, Li Zhiying remembered the scene of Zhang Bao'er and Qilixu making a bet three days ago, and she couldn't stop laughing.

"Sister Nunu, how do you say his head is long, he can even come up with such a way to bet!" Li Zhiying is still unfinished.

"His bet was a trick, but it can be regarded as stopping the ruler with Zhudan for three days!" Li Nunu nodded and said: "What amazes me the most is his ability to compose poems, which has amazed Master Cui, but it is really not simple!" ”

Li Zhiying asked curiously: "Sister Nunu, you said that Qi Dai Zhudan invited him to play the second bet, can he still win?" ”

"It's hard to say!" Li Nunu was a little worried: "Last time, the ruler belt Zhudan was defenseless and let him win, this time the ruler belt Zhudan is fully prepared, I'm afraid it won't be so simple if you want to win!" ”

Li Zhiying was about to say something, but caught a glimpse of Cui Xiang and Zhang Baoer coming over.

"Zhang Gongzi, how is it? Can you win? Li Zhiying asked first.

"God knows!" Zhang Baoer said helplessly.

"What then?"

"What to do? I don't know, I can only take one step at a time! ”

After that, Zhang Baoer followed Cui Xiang into the Sifang Pavilion.

Li Zhiying and Li Nunu hurriedly followed.

In the living room of the Sifang Pavilion, Zhu Dan was sitting at the table of the Eight Immortals, and behind him stood Qi Lixu and Hou Huai'an.

"Sit!" Qi Dai Zhudan pointed to the Eight Immortals table in front of him, and said to Zhang Bao'er: "I lost to Zhang Gongzi in the last bet, I have nothing to say, let's bet again today!" ”

Qi Dai Zhudan spoke very calmly, and he couldn't see the slightest unhappiness.

Zhang Baoer was also neither humble nor arrogant: "Okay! I love to bet on a daily basis, and it's nice to meet someone who loves to bet as much as I do! ”

"Then let's get started!" The ruler belt Zhudan is straightforward.

Li Zhiying and Li Nunu also entered the living room at some point, and stood aside with their hands and watched them quietly.

There is no doubt that a big war is about to begin.

Sure enough, Zhang Baoer smiled and said, "Your Highness, this second venue......

Before Zhang Bao'er finished speaking, she was interrupted by Qi Dai Zhudan: "The first game is that Zhang Gongzi set the conditions for betting, for the sake of fairness, I should tell me how to bet in the second game!" “

Zhang Baoer was stunned, he didn't expect the ruler to say this, and what the ruler said made Zhang Baoer unable to refute. In desperation, Zhang Bao'er had no choice but to nod and say, "What His Highness said is that it should be so!" ”

Qi Dai Zhu Dan smiled and said: "Okay, let's bet on wine, I bet, you can't drink me!" The stakes are still the same as last time! ”

"You don't have to gamble on alcohol!" Zhang Baoer said lightly: "Wine is used to help fun, drinking is a kind of mood, if you use drinking to bet, then what fun is there!" ”

Qi Dai Zhudan shook his head and said: "Zhang Gongzi, what you said is the opinion of the Tang people, I don't agree with it." ”

"Oh? What is your high-mindedness? ”

"Tubo is located in the high cold, every household is indispensable to barley wine, Tubo men are not good at drinking, for thousands of years, Tubo people have formed a unique drinking tradition and concept different from the Tang Dynasty. In our opinion, drinking is not just for fun, sometimes, drinking is a battle! ”

It's the first time Zhang Bao'er has heard that drinking is a battle.

"In Tibet, if a man is afraid to accept the challenge of drinking, he is regarded as a coward, which is a great shame. Therefore, we Tibetan people have a saying that goes like this, 'It is better to drink to death than to be scared to death!'" ’”

Zhang Bao'er frowned.

Seeing that Zhang Bao'er was silent, he didn't mention how happy he was, he stared at Zhang Bao'er aggressively: "Zhang Gongzi, since it's time for me to propose how to bet, then you can only accept it, and you shouldn't push back." You have only two options, either go for it or throw in the towel! ”

When it came to this, Zhang Baoer had no way out, he smiled bitterly: "Prince Zhudan, I don't want to be drunk to death, but I don't want to be scared to death, I bet with you." ”

"Great!" Qi Dai Zhu Dan slapped the table and instructed Qi Lixu: "Go and bring us a few jars of wine!" ”

"No need!" Zhang Bao'er waved his hand and said: "In Chang'an, His Royal Highness is a guest, and the Tang people have always been hospitable, as the host, how can you drink the guest's wine?" ”

Li Zhiying and Li Nunu listened to Zhang Bao'er's words and couldn't help nodding secretly.

Zhang Bao'er said to Cui Xiang: "Lord Cui, please send someone to buy a few jars of good wine!" ”

"Zhang Gongzi, you don't know anything!" Cui Xiang explained: "There are ready-made ones in the Good Wine Sifang Pavilion, but His Royal Highness Zhudan does not drink the wine we prepared, he thinks that our wine is not strong enough, and he is not energetic to drink, so he only drinks the barley wine he brought. ”

Zhu Dan nodded on the side and said, "Cui Shilang is right, I only drink Tibetan barley wine. ”

Zhang Bao'er thought to herself, it seems that she really loves to drink, and she actually brought the barley wine from Tubo to Chang'an to drink, how much barley wine does she have to bring.

seemed to have guessed Zhang Bao'er's thoughts, and said boldly: "Zhang Gongzi just drink with confidence, when I came to Chang'an, I prepared three hundred jars of barley wine, and pulled ten carts, and it was more than enough to drink until I returned to Tibet." ”

Zhang Bao'er was completely speechless, he hadn't seen a person with good wine, but it was the first time he had seen someone as persistent as a ruler with Zhudan. In order to be able to drink the wine he likes, he did not hesitate to pull 300 jars of barley wine from Tubo, thousands of miles away, to Chang'an, which can be seen.

At this moment, Zhang Baoer and Zhu Dan were sitting face to face at the table, each with a large bowl in front of them

Qili Xu skillfully slapped open the seal of a jar of wine, and the rich aroma of wine suddenly spread, he held the sealed jar of wine, and poured the wine into the sea bowl in front of the two, the two bowls poured exactly the same, not a drop of wine spilled, the whole action was done in one go, obviously it was not the first time he had done this kind of errand.

On the other table, there were also three jars of unopened barley wine.

Although the competition has not yet begun, the dullness of the mountain rain is already a little breathless.

Li Zhiying and Li Nunu were not as calm and relaxed as before, they didn't dare to come out, their eyes stared at Zhang Bao'er and Qi Dai Zhudan without blinking, and their expressions looked even more nervous than the two on the field.

Zhang Bao'er suddenly turned her head, looked at Cui Xiang and said dissatisfiedly: "Master Cui, you are too stingy!" Even if we're making a bet, we'll have to prepare a few side dishes, right? ”

Cui Xiang patted his head and said, "I really forgot about this stubble, wait a while, I'll come when I go!" ”

"Wait!" Zhu Dan said suddenly.
