That night, after Wang Zhen was tired of visiting the Happy Square, he knocked on Mr. Xu's door with a pot of wine. Mr. Xu saw that the wine was full of joy and asked Wang Qian: "Wang Qian, what do you mean by bringing the wine?" ”

Wang Zhen smiled: "Of course, I invite Mr. Xu to drink." ”

Mr. Xu was full of joy and was about to invite Wang Zhen into the house, but after thinking about it, he said, "You kid won't be stealing a bar?" The shopkeeper has registered every pot of wine. ”

Wang Zhen said with a smile: "Mr. Xu, don't worry, I bought this wine from the shopkeeper before closing, and it is specially used to honor Mr. Xu." ”

Mr. Xu took the wine, opened the seal and sniffed it, and said, "I heard that your monthly salary is only twenty copper coins, and this wine is thirty copper coins a pot, say, what do you need my help with?" ”

Wang said: "I heard Ah Fu say that Mr. is rich in five cars and knows everything, so he came here to ask for advice." ”

Mr. Xu said: "This is easy to say. So, Mr. Xu led Wang Zhen into the house.

Wang Zhen saw that the house was full of bamboo slips and books, and there was almost no place to sleep. Mr. Xu finally moved a little in the room, and the two sat down cross-legged at the low table.

Wang asked, "Mr. Xu will tell me about Wushisan?" ”

Mr. Xu was surprised and said, "Why do you want to know about Wushisan? ”

Wang asked: "A person I know died because of five stones, so I want to know more. ”

Mr. Xu nodded and said, "As far as I know, Wushisan was first invented by Zhang Zhongjing for the treatment of typhoid patients. Later, it was vigorously advocated by the celebrity He Yan and became popular, and the celebrities flocked to it. Wushisan has the effect of aphrodisiac and strong physical strength, and it is said that He Yan eats a lot of Wushisan because of his lust. At the beginning of taking Wushisan, it can give people the feeling of being drunk and dreaming of death, and after taking it, it can make people feel excited and hot. Some people even use Wushisan as a bad medicine. However, although Wushisan has the effect of aphrodisiac and physical strength, it is not a tonic, but a poison, which comes at the cost of overdrawing the body, and the body is very weak if you eat too much. That's what I learned. ”

Wang asked: "What did the gentleman do to the guests during the day, and why?" ”

Mr. Xu said: "Wushisan is not a medicine, and it is not an exaggeration to call it highly toxic. After taking it, as the toxicity sets out, a huge amount of internal heat is generated, so it needs to be dissipated, and the toxicity and heat are dissipated from the body through some procedures. After taking the medicine, you should eat more cold rice and cold food, take a cold shower, wear loose clothes, and walk around more. But one thing to keep in mind is that you can't drink cold wine after taking the medicine, you must drink hot wine and good wine. ”

Wang asked, "Why does Mr. know this? ”

Mr. Xu took a sip of wine and said with a smile: "Others read the Four Books and the Five Classics, but I read strange stories and rumors of wild history. Read all kinds of messy books. In addition, I have a channel for gathering information. Do you want to know? ”

Wang asked: "Listen to me." ”

Mr. Xu took a sip of wine and said with a smile: "That's listening, I have good hearing." Every day I sit on the second floor, I hear what the customers say, and when I'm not talking, I drink tea and listen to what the customers are saying. Over time, I also learned some miscellaneous things. ”

Wang Zhen got up and said, "I really benefited a lot from listening to what Mr. said. In the future, I will use a pot of wine to ask a question, what do you think? ”

Mr. Xu took a sip of wine and said with a smile: "Of course it's good to have wine, I must know everything and say everything." ”

Wang Zhen arched his hand and said, "Then there will be Mr. Lao." ”

Mr. Xu said: "Wang Zhen, you are different from Ah Fu, why do you want to stay here?" ”

Wang Zhen smiled: "This is also the question I want to ask Mr. With the talent of the gentleman, why should the gentleman stay here. ”

Mr. Xu sighed and said, "It's useless to be a scholar. I'm here to take me in, and I'm content. ”

Wang asked: "It seems that Mr. also has something unspeakable. Then I won't disturb Mr. Yaxing, who drinks and reads. Leave! ”

On the evening of the second day, Wang Zhen brought another pot of wine to Mr. Xu. Mr. Xu opened it and took a sip, and Wang Qian: "Mr. Xu, tell me about Chenjun Xie today." ”

Mr. Xu took another sip of wine, closed his eyes and thought about it while savoring, and said after a long time: "The Xie clan of Chenjun is a family from Jiangbei, and they came to the south with the imperial court. Most of the families from Jiangbei are important ministers of the imperial court, and they think very highly of themselves, so they still flaunt themselves with the names of the Central Plains. The same is true of Chenjun Xie. After the Xie family crossed to the south, it was gradually reused by the imperial court, coupled with the strict governance of the Xie family, the Xie family had many talents, so its reputation increased, and it could even be compared with the Langya Wang family. Wang and Xie are the most famous families in the Jiangbei family. The current head of the Xie family is Xie An, who has been lying high in Dongshan since he was a child, and only became an official at the age of forty, and is very famous. Xie An attaches great importance to etiquette and leads by example. Among the children and nephews, such as the eldest son Xie Lang and the eldest niece Xie Daoyun, they are all the best among people. Among them, Xie Daoyun was well-known at the age of 12 with the famous Yongxue sentence "If the catkins are not raised by the wind", she is a famous talented woman. ”

Wang Zhen asked excitedly, "How old is that Miss Xie Daoyun this year?" ”

Mr. Xu took a sip of wine, frowned and thought for a while, and said, "Twelve years old... Hitherto... It should be a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl, and she is ready to get married. ”

Wang Zhen was overjoyed, thinking that her name was Xie Daoyun, and hurriedly asked: "Then who does Mr. Xu think she will be married to in the future?" ”

Mr. Xu said: "Xie family's daughter recruits a son-in-law, and the talented people of the family are naturally flocking to it." However, in my guess, the final flower will belong to the Wang family. Nowadays, the Xie family's reputation is in full swing, and only the Langya Wang family can be as famous as it. And only a calligraphy family like Wang Xizhi is worthy of the name of Xie Daoyun's talented woman. ”

Wang Zhen felt a chill in his heart and asked, "Has Mr. Xu heard that Wang Xie has been married?" ”

Mr. Xu drank and smiled: "I haven't heard of it, Wang Xie's marriage is just my speculation." ”

Wang asked: "I also think that Mr. is reasonable, since I have not heard of it, can I conclude that the two families have not yet married?" ”

Mr. Xu shook his head and said, "No, no, the marriage between the two families does not have to be public. Or they have already married, but they haven't married yet. ”

Wang said goodbye to Mr. Xu and returned to his house, happy and worried. I am glad that I finally know that Miss Xie's name is Xie Daoyun; The worry is that Miss Xie has reached the age of marriage, even if Mr. Xu's speculation is wrong, Wang Xie has no plans to marry, and a talented and beautiful woman like Miss Xie is also a hot commodity. Maybe at this moment, many sons of the family have brought matchmakers to the Xie family to say that the matchmaker is proposing, and the threshold of the Xie family has been trampled. Although Wang Zhen is already approaching Miss Xie bit by bit, the opportunity has not yet arrived, and Wang Zhen has nothing to do at present.
