- In the main hall of Oufu, there were eight square tables filled with cigarettes and lights, and the guests sat in various positions according to their ages and backgrounds, watching Ouyang Xiu come in from outside and offer him their best wishes. [Literature]

After sitting down on the throne, the guests asked him, "Isn't the drunkard worshipping the heavens?" ”

Ouyang Xiu nodded and said with a smile: "I pray for God's blessing, this year I will be very Tai Lai, and the wind and rain will be smooth!" ”

"Honestly!" Everyone nodded. Last year, the Great Song Dynasty was too difficult, there were natural disasters and **. Natural disasters are nationwide heavy rains, and the people are severely affected; ** It is the Liuta River project, if I had listened to Ouyang Xiu's advice at the beginning, or those dog officials did not act without authorization, I am afraid that it would not have caused such a big disaster, and there would not have been many people who had become unjust souls.

In the past year, the Great Song Dynasty has been providing disaster relief across the country, but the treasury revenue has dropped sharply.

"I heard that since yesterday, until the Shangyuan Festival, the official family has to pray in the palace...... everyone discussed: "Yes, please God bless, the Great Song Dynasty can't afford to toss repeatedly." ”

"Alright, everyone, pack up your feelings." Ouyang Xiu picked up the refilled wine glass, raised his voice and said, "Don't let me, a shameless old thief, affect the celebration, let's start!" ”

Everyone raised their glasses to wish a happy New Year. After drinking, Cai Xiang, who was sitting at Ouyang Xiu's table, said with a smile: "The drunkard is old and old, but he is neither a thief nor shameless. "Cai Xiangzhi, the 'Cai' of 'Su Huangmi Cai' is also. Good books and good tea are Ouyang Xiu's best friends.

"Why aren't you a thief? To be old and not die is to be a thief. Ouyang Xiu shook his head and smiled: "The old man is half a hundred years old, but he is not dead, is he a thief?" The crowd laughed, and then he continued, "Last night I dreamed that I was full of gray hair. I lost my teeth completely, and I woke up today to see it. Sure enough, a few teeth are missing, isn't this shameless? ”

Everyone burst into laughter, and Ouyang Xiu also laughed, but there seemed to be some unspeakable pain in this laugh...... Feng Tang is easy to be old, Li Guang is difficult to seal, his ambition is unpaid, and he is the first to be white-headed, which is the biggest sorrow of the husband.

At this time, the kabuki came to the hall to sing, and sang Mei Yaochen's "Su Sha Curtain", "Lu Di Ping." Smoke Villas. Grass and grass. After the rain, Jiang Tianxiao ...... 'This is his most classic famous song. The crowd sang in harmony with the kabuki: 'The only Yuro is the youngest. Spring robe, tender color should be photographed......"

Sing, 'Resentful of the king and grandson, don't remember the return date.' When the pear blossom spring is gone, they are all intoxicated by the melodious melody. But at the end, when the sun was all over the ground, the emerald color and the smoke ......were old, the elderly guests sighed: "It turns out that Shengyu is also old......

"I'm not afraid of getting old, and who doesn't? What I'm afraid of is that there is no successor in the literary world. Mei Yaochen shook his head with a smile and said: "Fortunately, God is not thin on the Great Song Dynasty, and there are talents from all over the country, and all the talents here today can take over from us old guys and support the world's moral articles." As he spoke, he raised his glass and greeted the juniors present, "That's not all. The burden of 'To the king for Yao Shun, so that the people may not be hungry or cold,' will also be upon you. ”

"That's not true." Ouyang Xiu shook his head and said: "Young people take over too early, it is to help the seedlings, and there will be a tragedy like the Qingli New Deal." We old guys, we can't pick on them yet. You have to hold on until they grow up, and they can really stand up to the Great Song Dynasty before entering the ground. ”

"The old man is in limbo, his ambition is thousands of miles, and the martyr is in his twilight years and his heart is strong." Mei Yaochen smiled: "As long as you don't get confused." And it caused the crowd to burst into laughter.

The kabuki sang Ouyang Xiu's youth tour again, and the atmosphere in the banquet became lively. Ouyang Xiu took a sip of the wine in the glass, closed his eyes and enjoyed it for a long time: "This wine, it is really strong, from the throat to the chest, it is like a fire is running..., it burns people all over the body, and I want to play the sword and sing!" He nodded heavily and praised: "This is the wine that men drink." ”

"It's just that from now on, you can't drink from whales anymore." Mei Yaochen smiled bitterly: "Otherwise, you have to get drunk to death." ”

"The price of this wine is more than gold," Cai Jing said with a smile: "I'm afraid you can't afford it." ”

"By the way, I always talk about this wine and this wine." Ouyang Xiu smiled and asked, "Doesn't it have a name?" ”

Everyone looked at Chen Ke who was sitting in the corner, Chen Ke got up and replied: "Teacher, I haven't named it yet, please give one to the teacher and your seniors." When everyone heard this, they were quite moved.

In this dynasty that belonged to scholars, they had the most lucrative income, and they didn't have to worry about being robbed and killed, so they just enjoyed life freely. They drink the best wine, hug the most beautiful women, write the most gorgeous poems, pursue the most perfect life, and desperately pursue elegance...... Is there anything more elegant in the world than naming a good wine?

And if it is really good wine, their name will even be eternal.

"Yuan Chun tasting new brew, it's really a good sign!" I don't know if it's due to the strength of the wine or the excitement, Ouyang Xiu's face turned red and said, "Zhong Fang's kindness, we can't live up to it." Ladies and gentlemen, how about I propose that each person fill a glass and make a gift for each of them on the theme of this wine? ”

Mei Yaochen was the first to agree, and everyone also praised this move for being elegant, so they called for hot wine to moisten the pen.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ouyang Xiu is now a bachelor of Hanlin to be edicted, knows Taichang Temple and ceremonial affairs, and adds a light car to the captain. The lieutenant of the light car is the fifth of the twelve ranks, and the rank is the fourth rank. He has just entered the founding marquis of Le'an County, the ninth knight, and the marquis of more than 1,000 households. 500 households were added to the eup, making a total of 1,300 euphoria. Successive promotions and rank promotions have entered the ranks of princes and nobles.

His income also skyrocketed, and his income reached more than 6 million yuan in a year, and his family conditions naturally improved greatly. In the hall, all kinds of high-quality rice paper of various sizes were always available, and the seven or eight newly hired young maids in Tsing Yi immediately took out pieces of cut rice paper from the cupboard next to the wall and sent them to each guest's table.

The ink in the inkstone box is also soaked in fine silk cotton, and then it is put on the incense burner and roasted slightly, and it melts. The hall was a little quiet, people spread out the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, still concentrating on the idea, Su Shi had already moved the pen like flying, and wrote a "New Wine Fu" in one breath.

Ouyang Xiu walked over gently, picked up Su Shi's article, read it again, nodded again and again, and read it aloud:

"It's the wine that is clear in the wrong plate, and the fat is in the cooking. It is ripe with millet and wheat, and the sound of boiling is noisy. The taste is sweet and clear, and the solitude of sighing is high. Knowing that sweet and sour are easy to perish, laughing at the grapes of Liangzhou. It is like the raw fat of the jade pool, not the steamed lamb of the inner house. Drink the gall vine pattern bottle, recommend the frost chela of the stone crab. ”

Reading and reading, the old gentleman shook his head, already deeply intoxicated: "I drank it every day, and I felt that the punishment of heaven could be escaped." Throw the cane and set out, and stop the child's scratching. Looking at the proximity of the West Mountain, I want to swim in clothes. The running deer across the super peak, and the flying deer hanging on the wall. Then he entered the sea from here, and the clouds turned the sky upside down. Envoy Ji, Ruan Zhilun, and the Eight Immortals. Or ride the wind and fight for the wind. Upside down the white scarf, dripping the palace brocade robe! ’

Not only him, everyone praised in unison, and they all put pen to paper: "No need to write anymore, this piece of pearl and jade is in front, it makes people feel very endowed in their hearts!" ”

Mei Yaochen laughed and said: "Born Su Zizhan, I and other mortals have to retreat!" ”

Hearing this, the Su family's father and son couldn't help but be excited...... No matter what the result of this imperial examination is, Su Shi has been praised by 'Mayo' successively, and he will definitely be famous all over the world!

"Not necessarily." Han Wei is a die-hard fan of Wang Anshi, and when he heard this, he shook his head and laughed: "Wang Jiefu's talent is not inferior to that of heaven." "Oh, yes." Ouyang Xiu laughed happily and said: "There are still Jiefu's masterpieces to taste, how lucky are we today?" As he spoke, he walked to Wang Anshi's side and said, "Jiefu, take out your masterpiece and let the old man recite it for everyone." ”

Wang Anshi had been distracted, and was called out by Ouyang Xiu's loud voice before he raised his head and looked at him blankly.

"Ouyang Gong wants to read your Fu." Su Xun, who was sitting next to him, kindly reminded.

"Oh." Wang Anshi nodded, shook his head again, and said, "I haven't started writing." ”

"No," Ouyang Xiu said in disbelief: "Jiefu is a champion talent, and doing an essay is like drinking water!" ”

"Could it be that after listening to Zizhan's fu, you don't want to compete with him?" Mei Yaochen is good at telling jokes, but if he says too much, he will lose, and as soon as this remark comes out, it makes people uncomfortable to listen to...... However, looking at the faint arrogance on Su Xun's face, he knew that among the uncomfortable people, he did not include the Su family's father and son.

"I haven't drunk this kind of wine," Wang Anshi said with a calm face, "so I don't know how to praise it." ”

"I see." Ouyang Xiu saw that the wine glass in front of him was still full, and he couldn't help but be concerned: "Jiefu, everyone has drunk, why are you the only one who hasn't touched the wine?" ”

"Please forgive Ouyang Gong," Wang Anshi realized that Ouyang Xiu was already standing by his side, and quickly got up and saluted, still saying with a calm face: "I never drink heavy wine in the world." ”

"I see...... Ouyang Xiu nodded, and suddenly laughed: "I changed the rules today!" As he spoke, he personally held the wine glass and asked Wang Anshi to drink it.

"I can't." Under the attention of everyone, Wang Anshi shook his head stubbornly and said, "Today, don't drink." As he spoke, he took the glass with both hands and placed it on the table.

There is no reason to say that you don't drink alcohol.

Everyone's eyes suddenly became less kind, and they felt that this person was too face-saving.

Su Xun couldn't stand it anymore, tugged at Wang Anshi's belt, and whispered: "Give the drunkard a face." ”

Wang Anshi didn't move, ignoring him, making Lao Su so boring.

Ouyang Xiu was also embarrassed by the boss, but fortunately, he had an open-minded temperament, and laughed self-deprecatingly: "Okay, a man should be so tough." I think when I was young, I also had this temper, and if you put the knife on your neck, you won't change your course! ”

And all the people praised in unison, and they covered up the embarrassment—
