Chapter Thirty-Six: Huai Cai Doesn't Meet

Everyone dressed in civilian clothes walked out of Shuncheonfu, and when they crossed two streets, they suddenly saw a wine flag erected at the entrance of the alley on the side. Yue Su and others often walk on this street, and they have never seen this wine flag in their impressions, Yue Su took a look, in addition to the word "wine" on the wine flag, there is a line of words below - the fragrance of wine is also afraid of deep alleys.

After reading the words above, Yue Su laughed and said, "I didn't expect there to be a tavern here, let's go in and take a look and see how good this wine is." ”

Jin Chan and the others also echoed, and everyone walked into the alley, and it was estimated that they could walk more than a hundred meters before they saw a tavern. It can be said that if there was no wine flag outside, I really didn't know that there was a tavern in the alley.

The tavern is very simple, and it looks like it is a few years old, not like it has recently opened. Everyone walked in, and there were a total of eight tables in the tavern, seven of which were full of people, some were pushing glasses and changing lamps, some were praising good wine, and some were making fist orders. The tavern is full of aromas, and you know that it is a good wine just by smelling it.

At this time, I suddenly heard someone inside, "Old shopkeeper, the distinguished guest is coming, don't hurry up to greet him." ”

As soon as this man finished speaking, an old man over fifty years old ran over, "A few guests, please take a seat." Craving something to eat? ”

Yue Su said, "Everyone sit. But he did not sit down, but looked at the man who had just spoken.

At a table very close to the counter, there sat a young man, who was not handsome, and could be said to be a little ugly, and his clothes were coarse cloth gowns, but he could not hide the young man's restrained temperament at all.

The young man also looked up at Yue Su, his gaze was not sharp, but it was very deep, as deep as the ocean, it seemed to be able to contain thousands of people, but no one could see what he was thinking. The young man smiled at Yue Su, his laughter was more ugly than crying, but it gave people a friendly feeling.

Yue Su also laughed, and only now did he notice that the dishes on the young man's table were very simple, simple could not be simpler, only a plate of peanuts, but there were two pots of wine. It seems that this strange guest is an alcoholic.

Yue Su ignored it, sat down, and began to order. There are a lot of them, in addition to Yue Su and Li Zhong, there are also Jin Chan, Yin Zhu, Tong Xuan, Tie Qiu, and Li family brothers, a total of eight people. I ordered eight dishes, asked for two jars of wine, and when the wine and dishes were ready, everyone pushed the cup and changed it.

The wine is really good wine, absolutely not mixed with water, a glass of wine is warm from the throat to the lower abdomen, like a heat wave. The two jars of wine were quickly used up, and everyone asked for the second jar again, and when the old man brought the wine up, Yue Su asked, "Uncle, is your tavern newly opened?" ”

"This master, this tavern of the little old man has been open for six years." The old man said with a smile.

"Six years?" Yue Su asked in surprise, "We often pass by here, why didn't we see this wine flag?" ”

"To be honest, this wine flag was hung up a few days ago. In the past, the business of the small shop had never been so good, but since the hanging of this wine flag, the business has been steaming. The idea was all given by Mr. Yang. As he spoke, the old man pointed to the young man at the counter.

Yue Su followed the old man's fingers and looked at the young man again, who was raising his head and drinking at the moment. Yue Su looked at him carefully again, although he was down, his clothes were neat, and although he looked ugly, he could not hide the spirit of the book. The whole person is a little lazy, but he seems to be full of energy.

Yue Su didn't ask any more questions, and when the old man retreated, everyone continued to talk and drink. Time passed slowly, and when it was almost time to arrive, the guests of the tavern had withdrawn one after another, leaving only Yue Su's table and Mr. Yang's table.

"Shopkeeper, another jug of wine." There was a clear drunkenness in Mr. Yang's voice.

"Mr. Yang, you have already drunk three pots today, which is really a lot, let me help you go and rest first." The old man hurriedly said.

"No, no...... Zi said: I am very happy to have friends from afar, I am happy today, and I want to drink a few more glasses. Shopkeeper, you won't be reluctant to bar. Mr. Yang shook his head and said.

"Look at what you said, my little shop can be brought back to life, or you helped to come up with the idea, how can I be stingy with this little wine. It's just that drinking too much hurts your body, can't you drink it again tomorrow? The old man persuaded.

"Hahahaha......" Mr. Yang suddenly laughed and said: "In ancient times, there were hundreds of poems by Li Taibai Doujiu, although I, Yang Yishan, dare not compare with them, but dozens of them can still be written." Are you discouraged when I am not ranked first in this subject, and I borrow wine to drown my sorrows? Neither is it, the book, sword, poetry, wine and pride in the rivers and lakes are a great joy in life. ”

Speaking of this, he suddenly looked at Yue Su's table and said loudly, "Lord Yue, I'm right. Would you like to have a drink with your students? After speaking, he picked up the wine jug, the spout was facing his mouth, and his head was held high, but his eyes kept staring at Yue Su.

"Huh?" As soon as Yue Su heard him point out his identity, he was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly turned his head to look. And said: "How do you know that it is this house?" ”

Jin Chan and the others also turned their heads, each clenching their fists, for fear that the other party intended to stab. Tie Qi and Li Haoran both stood up at this moment.

"Hahahaha......" Yang Yishan took a sip of wine and said with a smile: "How can you not see it." The small wine shop, all the people who came were rough people, and the adults were wearing official boots, and I saw it from the time I entered the store. The students went all the way north to Beijing, passing through the Huguang area, all of which were to promote the reputation of adults, and they had heard a lot about entering the capital. There will be no other officials here to drink, and it is close to Shuntianfu, and according to the rumored age and conduct of the adult, it is not difficult to guess that you are Lord Yue. ”

"Hahahaha......" At this time, Yue Su also laughed and said: "Good eyesight, I wonder if Mr. Yang is willing to come over, how many drinks will everyone have together?" ”

"Sure enough, it's better to be famous than to meet, and the students have long had this intention." Yang Yishan said, lifted the wine glass, and walked to Yue Su's table leisurely.

The old man hurriedly brought a chair over and knelt down beside Yue Su, "Little old man see adults." ”

"Hurry up, my husband is going out, I just want to save some courtesy, so I can avoid it." Yue Su said politely.

"Thank you, sir." After the old man got up, he stood aside in a proper manner and waited carefully.

Yang Yishan was not polite, grabbed the wine jug on the table, poured himself a glass, and said with a smile: "Student Jingyue, Master Yue, a glass." ”

Yue Su picked up the wine glass and drank it all with Yang Yishan. At this moment, the two of them were drinking at the same table, Yue Su looked at it more carefully, don't look at Yang Yishan as a down-the-top person, but his words and demeanor are full of flamboyant, arrogant, and conceited surnames. If it weren't for the fact that I just heard him mention it, other people would still think that he was the title of the gold list.

Yue Su was even more curious, and said with a smile: "Mr. Yang, today is the release of the list, and others are all depressed if they don't win, but why doesn't Mr. Yang have the slightest sense of loss?" ”

"How can ordinary people compare with students, students are not talented, although they dare not compare themselves with Guanzi and Wuhou, but they are confident that they have the ability to govern the world in Anbang, and they are not ranked in this department, which is not the loss of students, but the loss of the imperial court. After picking chrysanthemums and cooking wine, wouldn't it be faster to be a carefree mountain person. Yang Yishan talked and laughed and said in an authentic way.

When Jin Chan and the others heard this, they couldn't help but think that Yang Yishan was too arrogant, but Yue Su's vision was much older than them, although they didn't see Yang Yishan's loss, but they also saw that Huai Cai didn't meet him.

There are many disadvantages of taking the eight shares, and being an official is all based on an article, if Yue Su didn't have that adventure, maybe he wouldn't be able to be an official in this life. For truly talented people, the article may not be well written, and Yue Su completely agrees with this point of view. comforted at the moment: "Mr. Yang's words are wrong, learn literature and martial arts, serve the emperor's family, and have been cold for ten years, not just to rule the world in peace." If Mr. Yang does not want to take the test again, after all, he will have a meritorious reputation, and he can mark the official department and get an official body. If there is a political achievement, others do not guarantee it, and the government will also protect it. You must know that this house is also from a high background. ”

Yue Su's words already understand very well, if you Yang Yishan are really talented, I will never let you bury you. You go to the Ministry of Rites to sign up, first get a small official to do it, if you achieve political achievements, I will definitely recommend you to the emperor.

With Yue Su's current status, saying these words definitely has weight, if he is replaced by someone else, he must be grateful to Dade.

However, Yang Yishan did not say words of gratitude, but laughed loudly: "Isn't it enough for an adult to be a student to gain the fame of Jinshi?" Students ask themselves, this subject will be examined, although my essay does not dare to say that it is the best, but the top ten is by no means a problem. It's a pity that the examiner has no eyes, which makes me lose my name, and I have no intention of career now, I just want to be a free person. If Xu Wenchang had my mind back then and was not so persistent, how could he have fallen to the last step of the field. ”

Xu Weizi is long, one of the three great talents of the Ming Dynasty, but his fate is bumpy, and his later years are even more bleak. However, none of Xu Wei's names, Yue Su and his subordinates, had ever heard of them.

As soon as he said this, the golden cicada on the side couldn't help it, and couldn't help blurting out: "You scholar is too crazy, my family has raised you, but you are not ashamed, if your article is really well written, how can the examiner not be able to take you." Hmph, there is also a face to say that the examiner has no beads, I think you are too self-conscious! ”

Not only the golden cicada, but also the Tie Qi few, and their faces couldn't help but show contempt. However, Yue Su was very calm, and said lightly: "Mr. Yang, this mansion is also from the imperial examination, ten years of cold windows, a little bit of literature and ink, I don't know what the topic is in today's department, and how does Mr. Yang answer?" Can you let this government taste one or two? ”

Don't look at Yue Su's Xie Yuan copied it, let him write it himself, he is not that material, but if he comments on the quality of an article, he still has that vision. After all, so many years of books are not read in vain.

"Since the adults want to evaluate one or two, then the students will be ugly. The old shopkeeper, take pen, ink, paper and inkstone. ”
