Chapter 184: Challenge
"Qin Qi Gongzi, my son-in-law's injuries are not healed now, the doctor said, you can't drink alcohol." Hearing what Qin Shi said to me, Ji Ji leaned down and said respectfully to Qin Shi.
"Oh? Is it? Is your injury serious? "Qin expects from me.
"Well......" I said after a pause, "the injury is fine, but my head is still a little dizzy." ”
"Yes, if such an injury knocks you down, you won't be Mo Yan." Qin Qi smiled and said. His face was flushed, and he seemed to have drunk a lot, and he was already slightly drunk.
"I don't know what to say about this ......." He leaned in again and continued, "Just don't delay your business, or the old man will not show mercy." ”
Old man? I didn't know who he was referring to, and I didn't know what the business was, but I couldn't ask, so I had to smile perfunctorily and sit in a daze.
He didn't say anything more, and went drinking again.
After a while, a man in the crowd suddenly stood up, seemed to be a little drunk, walked staggeringly, walked out of the middle of the scattered small table, and bumped into the person or thing next to him from time to time, and was constantly helped by others, and finally walked to the front of the hall.
"Lord County Guard, tonight the moon is in the sky, and the wine is a confidant, how can you have no poetry to help the fun? Everyone knows that the four sons are talented, especially the Mo Yan son, who can be exported into a sentence between the glasses of wine, tonight the villain is not the lead, please Mo Yan Gongzi for us to give us one or two, how? After the man stopped, he said loudly, as if to ask the county guard, but his eyes were directly on me, and his eyes were full of provocation.
"This person's name is Che Chong, he has been in the mansion for many years, and your previous evaluation of him was that he was scheming, loved to tell right and wrong, and was a villain." Ji Ji whispered behind me.
"Haha, yes! Although Mo Yan's injury has not healed, there should be no problem with such a trivial matter, right? "Before I could speak, the county keeper had already said this, and he answered for me.
Che Chong seemed to be overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately said. "Well, now I have a glass of wine in my hand, after I finish drinking it, I will first offer the first sentence I made, and ask Mo Yan Gongzi to continue the second half of the sentence according to the same artistic conception!"
After that, he tilted his neck and quickly drank the wine in his hand, the wine glass had just been put down, and his mouth had already chanted: "Look at it from afar, above the Toad Palace; There are dreams, shimmering and flying; Yesterday has passed, and the worries have been exposed. ”
When the poem came out, he shook his head and closed his eyes, as if he had been immersed in some kind of beautiful mood that he had created.
When he finished chanting, there was a burst of applause from the banquet, and even the county keeper clapped his hands in approval.
Then everyone looked at me again, as if they wanted to see what I was going to do.
However, I sat there, my mind blanked, and I just stared at the wine glass in front of me in a daze, unable to say a word.
There was silence, as if the air was about to freeze.
"Mo Yan, what's wrong with you?" After a long time, Lord County Keeper finally couldn't help but ask on the side.
I looked up at him and opened my mouth, but I couldn't answer.
"Could it be ......" Che Chong saw my actions clearly, and a mysterious look immediately appeared on his face, glaring at me and saying, "Is it true that Mo Yan Gongzi doesn't remember anything as the rumors say?" ”
"Boom", as soon as he said this, the whole audience immediately boiled like boiling water, and the hall was filled with the sound of buzzing discussions.
I clearly saw that Sang Qing and Yue Bi on the other side were looking at me with a little shock and a little mockery. The county keeper also looked embarrassed, as if he couldn't find a suitable way to relieve me for a while.
"See the son, in the wilderness; Wrapped around my arms, the river rises and rises; Beauty is accompanied, Si is Que Tang! In this awkward atmosphere, suddenly a person chanted such verses loudly.
Everyone was stunned, followed the sound to find it, only to find that it was Qin Qi beside me, who was now drunk and half-lying on the table, holding an empty wine glass in his hand, shaking it freely.
"Mo Yan's injury is not healed yet, I told him for him, how is it?" He looked up and said to the crowd with a smile.
Everyone was confused by this unexpected scene, and was silent for a long time, before suddenly someone shouted in the crowd: "Good poem! ”
"yes, good catch!" "He is worthy of being the son of Qin!" "Quatrain, quatrain!" The praise was endless.
Qin Qi turned his face sideways to me in this chaotic reaction and made a grimace.
But this farce against me has obviously achieved its goal, and everyone's subsequent gaze and performance contain a lot of doubts and contempt for me. But for me, whether it is praise or humiliation, it seems that it has nothing to do with me, and it doesn't even make me feel the slightest embarrassment, some are just at a loss.
The feast lasted until midnight, when everyone was drunk. When I stood up and was about to leave the table, Lord County Guard suddenly came over, patted me on the shoulder, and said with a little worry: "Don't worry about anything these days, concentrate on recuperating from your injuries, and when the imperial envoy arrives in five days, you will have to recover as before!" ”
Say goodbye and leave.
Qin Qi on the side also stood up, stumbled under his feet, fell on top of me, hugged my neck, and said with a snort of wine: "I said it, if you delay the business, the old man will not let you go!" So you have to get better quickly! ”
It dawned on me that the "old man" he was referring to was actually the county keeper! As for the so-called "business", maybe it is the fact that the imperial envoy is coming.
When I walked back, Ji Ji saw that I was thoughtful and asked, "Childe, how is it?" Anything comes to mind? ”
I shook my head and said, "Nothing has progressed. ”
He sighed and replied, "That chela is too much, and he actually said that in front of everyone!" ”
"He's right," I said, "I really can't remember anything." ”
"Childe, you'll be fine! I'll ask the doctor to come a few more times in the past few days, and I must cure you! But Ji jumped up in front of me and said eagerly.
I couldn't bear to disappoint him too much, so I smiled and nodded.
The moonlight tonight is really good, and when I was lying on the collapse, I could see a bright moon hanging high in the sky through the pane.
Ru Ji said, I am Mo Yan, the son of his family, but I seem to think that I am actually another person, otherwise I would not be so alienated from all this that Mo Yan has.
But if I'm not Mo Yan, who is it? Why did I start to have a feeling that I didn't remember, but that I didn't dare to remember? (To be continued.) )
