Chapter 11 Against Wine
Night has fallen, the sky is low, and the stars are dotting. Yun Chuan and Yun Xi changed into clean men's clothes and looked radiant. As soon as he walked out of the yurt, he saw Yu Wenhan, Yang Qingyun and Yu Wenling also walking out.
Yu Wenhan saw Yun Chuan holding a package in his hand and asked curiously, "What is this?" Yun Chuan smiled mysteriously: "You'll know in a while!" ”
After the five of them converged, Yun Chuan led the way to the central square, where the sound of joyful singing and dancing was already heard.
"The song of the grassland is really loud and melodious, and I feel refreshed when I hear it." Yu Wenling was exhausted along the way, and finally received preferential treatment, and he was excited.
"That's right, the song and dance of our grassland is high-pitched and high-spirited, and everyone can hear the song and dance and sing along with the music. Moreover, the little prince of Shengze has the highest requirements for singing and dancing, and we will definitely be able to open our eyes and feast our ears tonight. Yun Chuan has also been exhausted these days, and when he thought that he could finally relax tonight, he was naturally happy.
"Can I not know? There is also a person in our family who can dance the Tusang dance, although people are not so popular, but this dance does have a unique charm. Yu Wenling thought of the lotus concubine from Tusang, who was good at singing and dancing, and was deeply favored by his father.
"Do you still have a Tusang dance in your family?" After Yun Chuan asked, he remembered that what Yu Wenling was talking about should be that on the 60th birthday of the Emperor of the Shu Dynasty last year, his uncle Helian abandoned and offered a Tusang beauty named "Lotus Heart".
"Ling'er!" Before Yu Wenling could respond, Yang Qingyun immediately stopped it.
"Why don't you let Ling'er speak? Your brother is too domineering! Yun Chuan was a little angry at Yang Qing's attitude.
Yang Qingyun didn't respond, Yu Wenhan helped him explain humbly: "He didn't mean that, it's just an elder's business, we don't want to talk about it more." ”
"Hey, it's not a big deal, it's just a concubine of the elders, Brother Qingyuan is afraid that I will cause trouble if I say too much." Yu Wenling glanced at Yang Qingyun and saw that he was not angry, so he took a long breath.
"What can't a concubine say?" After Yun Chuan finished speaking, he glanced at Yang Qingyun suspiciously, thinking that this person was really not enough friends, so he took such strict precautions and thought too much.
The central square has long been decorated with colorful lights, with colorful flags fluttering in the sky, lanterns lit up, and six tables and chairs in a half-moon shape. The soldiers of the Xia Yi tribe sat in a circle and danced together.
"It's the first time I've seen a soldier sit with the prince like this." Yu Wenling looked around curiously.
"Only here is the little prince of Shengze that you can see such a scene." Yun Chuan said.
Sheng Ze was sitting at the main table and watching the three women dance with interest, and when he saw the arrival of the five people from Yunchuan, he motioned to take a seat at the five tables next to him, raised his wine glass, and swayed his body from time to time.
At the end of the song, Sheng Ze and Yunchuan picked up the wine glass and stood up. Sheng Ze said: "Come, soldiers, let us drink this cup together and welcome my friends who have come from afar." Dry! The soldiers behind him said in unison, "Welcome!" "Drink it all. The five people of Yunchuan raised their glasses to the Xia Yi soldiers behind them and drank them all.
"Mare's milk wine is so fragrant!" Yu Wenling sighed after drinking.
"You still know the goods, unlike someone who always says that the daughter of the Central Plains is red and tastes better than our mare's milk wine!" Sheng Ze filled another glass, "Come, just say to you, I salute you." With that, a glass of wine went down again. Yu Wenling also took a drink.
"Little prince, I salute you, I respect you for remembering that I don't drink alcohol, and I have prepared good tea." Yun Xi poured himself a full cup of tea and said to Sheng Ze in return.
"This cup of our brothers respects you, thanks for your hospitality, and for your great help." Yu Wenhan and Yang Qingyun stood up and saluted together.
Yun Chuan took out two bottles of wine from behind him and put them on the table, filled a glass for himself, picked up the wine glass and shook it in front of him, and said, "I don't know who it is, last time I asked someone to bring a few more bottles of my daughter Hong." ”
Sheng Ze saw his daughter red on Yunchuan's table, his eyes suddenly lit up, he leaned over with an empty cup, and said, "Come, fill it for me." ”
"Didn't you say it didn't taste good?" Yun Chuan snatched the wine bottle.
"Haha, did I say that? I'm going to love wine! Sheng Ze said scoundrelly, "The daughter of the Guyue Inn in the border city is really unforgettable for a lifetime." Even if you still have a conscience, you know to bring me two bottles! ”
"From now on, this wine will not be called my daughter red, it will be called 'Canghai', the name we gave! Wait for me to open a winery in the future, and let you drink enough good wine. Yun Chuan poured Sheng Ze a glass of wine and reminded solemnly.
"You own a winery? Then you must pay for it! Why is it called 'Canghai'? I think the name 'Daughter Red' is very good, 'Lady is ashamed, the years are carefree', what could be better than using a red girl to describe fine wine? Sheng Ze couldn't wait to finish a drink and motioned to Yun Chuan for another drink.
Yun Chuan pretended to protect the wine bottle, and said with a smile: "If you don't pour it, you only have this one glass!" Sheng Ze glared at him a little angrily, and with a posture of getting up and grabbing wine, Yun Chuan laughed, "How is it?" At that moment, did you realize that 'the sea was once difficult to water!' 'Feeling?' ”
Sheng Ze snatched the wine bottle, looked at Yun Chuan slyly, and said: "Your name, the scholarly anger is too strong, the people who come and go in this city are reckless people, how many people can understand?" The ancient poem says, 'Rong Ma will eventually be exhausted, and his daughter will be red', and our husband will drink wine, just to be mellow and hearty, and not to seek the deep meaning after drinking. After saying that, he drank another glass in one gulp.
"Sheng Ze Little Wang Ye is right, good wine, the name is secondary, and the fate is the rarest." Yu Wenhan added that thinking that the reason why he likes to make wine is also a kind of sustenance, as for the name of the wine, it is nothing more than to take it for himself, and others like it or not, and never care.
Sheng Ze raised his glass to look at Yu Wenhan and nodded, and the two looked at each other and drank a glass of wine. Yun Chuan smiled and said, "Of course you think the name 'Daughter Red' is good." Our little prince of Shengze, suave and suave, likes 'women die young, scorching their flowers', but I don't know how many women you have provoked'The sea and the moon are bright, and there is nowhere to put it'! ”
"At this point, I can't help it." Sheng Ze said with a hippie smile.
"Cough cough cough~" A joke choked Yun Chuan on a sip of wine, and coughed with a red face, Yun Xi hurriedly stroked Yun Chuan's back gently, causing others to laugh. Yun Chuan coughed and said, "You just go down so indecently!" Be careful not to please the princess in the future! ”
"You like our Central Plains wine so much, I'll give you a car next time. What do you think? Yu Wenling also felt quite interesting when he saw this scene, although he had many brothers and sisters, he had almost never joked like this.
"Actually, you're pretty cute in addition to messing around!" Yun Chuan quipped.
"Yun Chuan, did you say that about the guests? As the saying goes, come and don't be rude, you give us wine, what do you like, we give it to you! Sheng Ze said proudly.
"I like it so much. Love the uninhibitedness here, the blue sky and white clouds, and the twinkling stars. Can I send it? "Sixteen-year-old Yu Wenling, with a peach blossom face and an innocent face.
"Oh~ It turns out that you have taken a fancy to us here. This is easy, I haven't married yet, the position of the princess is still vacant, and Gang Yunchuan also said that I won't be able to please the princess in the future, you see... Sheng Ze made a joke, smiling provocatively at Yu Wenling, listening to his little prince wanting to please the princess, and the attendants next to him also laughed.
"You, why are you so frivolous! Brother Qingyuan, look at them! Yu Wenling had never been teased like this before, and when he saw Sheng Ze's provocative eyes, he felt even more offended. And for fear that Yang Qingyun would misunderstand that she was a frivolous woman, she looked at Yang Qingyun anxiously.
"Brother Qingyuan, they bullied me!" Seeing that Qingyun didn't react, Yu Wenling leaned over and pulled Yang Qingyun's sleeve, and Yang Qingyun came back to his senses. Yu Wenling asked angrily, "What are you looking at?" The woman of the desert is so seduced? ”
"No, I just remembered some of the past." Yang Qingyun replied lightly.
"The past, what the past?" Yu Wenling looked at Yang Qingyun's cold eyes and whispered tentatively.
Yun Chuan drank a small half bottle of wine, and heard that Sheng Ze wanted to ask Yu Wenling to be the princess, thinking about their identities, it was indeed a good thing. Taking advantage of the wine, she stood up and walked to Yuwen Ling's table, dragged her past, and told her about the benefits of marrying Xia Yi as a princess, and the attendants next to her were also coaxing her to marry as soon as possible.
Yu Wenling couldn't say it, pushed Yun Chuan away, and stood up angrily: "You desert people don't understand this kind of thing, you can't joke, for a woman, chastity reputation is especially important." You guys are simply damaging my reputation and hurting my self-esteem, what Princess Xiayi? How could I marry into the land of barbarians! "How could she be reduced to being a princess with Xia Yi?
The atmosphere was cold, Sheng Ze squinted at Yu Wenling, holding the wine glass in one hand and not speaking.
Yun Chuan returned to his seat boringly, played with the wine glass and said disdainfully: "If you think we made a joke, I can apologize, but we are good at wine and hospitality, you just evaluate a barbarian land, is it respectful?" ”
"The housemate is young and careless, she doesn't mean that." Yang Qingyun apologized.
"Mountains and rivers are not enough, the focus is on meeting confidants. Ling Er's unintentional words, everyone should not be surprised. Yu Wenhan picked up the wine glass and said.
Yu Wenling watched himself make the atmosphere so solemn, and the attendants behind him suddenly became terrifyingly quiet, and he was a little annoyed when he thought about it. She secretly glanced at Yang Qingyun and slowly sat down with her mouth pursed.
Seeing the awkward atmosphere, Yun Xi pretended to blame Yun Chuan and Sheng Ze: "What are you doing here?" It's all about making friends, but you also need to be honest with them, right? I think you two are sincerely bullying other girls' little girls and making fun of others. Miss Ling is so simple and cute, how have I seen your bandit posture, marrying a relative is like robbing a relative, let alone her, I was also shocked. You two should be fined three glasses of wine. ”
"Yes, I don't actually think it's bad here, it's just that you guys don't treat a woman like this. You will be fined three glasses of wine! Yu Wenling glanced at Yun Xi gratefully, and this feeling of helping himself out of the siege suddenly felt a little familiar.
"It's okay to drink, but I don't admit punishment, we sincerely invite Miss Ling to be the princess." Yun Chuan picked up the wine and said as he poured it.
"You..!" Yuwen Lingqi's teeth itched, and Yun Chuan still squinted at her. Seeing that Yuwen Ling was about to come across the table in a huff, Yun Chuan immediately drank it all and said, "Three cups, three cups!" ”
Sheng Ze, who was on the side, cooperated with Yun Chuan, and the three glasses of wine were also in their stomachs in laughter.
After the three dance songs are danced, the melodious horse-head fiddle sounds, the filigree is plucked, and the rhythm is quiet and distant.
"Let's play the wine order, okay? Just come to the right sentence, two words are right, and you can designate one person to match. The person who is on top will appoint the next person, and the person who does not meet will be punished with a glass of wine. "Yu Wenling has not sat with Yang Qingyun like this for a long time, and his mood is extremely comfortable, I really hope that this time can stay a little longer, a little longer.
Yun Chuan listened interestingly, and hurriedly asked, "How to play?" ”
Yu Wenling raised his head and said, "Then I'll take a sample first." I'll ask Brother Qingyun to come to the right. My last sentence was 'looking into the distance'. ”
"Take a closer look" Yang Qingyun said without thinking, and then looked at Sheng Ze, who turned out to be a guest, naturally he couldn't snub the host, let alone embarrass the host, so he said a simple one: "Gao Shan, please invite the little prince of Sheng Ze to come to the right." ”
Sheng Ze knew that this was clearly to let himself pick up the cheap, and replied with a smile in his eyes: "Running water." ”
Sheng Ze continued: "Yun Chuan, then you are right, the last sentence is, well, your name - 'Yun Chuan'!" ”
"You see they all know how to pick the simple ones for you, how did they come to you, they know that it makes me nerve-wracking?" At this time, Yun Chuan frowned, he was not good at words, let alone this kind of tricky topic. This head turned over the river and the sea, Yun Chuan looked up at the other side, and suddenly his eyes lit up. Said: "There it is! Yunchuan vs. Hanlin. ”
"What kind of opposition is this?" Yu Wenling asked puzzled.
Yu Wenhan on the opposite side already knew it, took a sip of wine alone, looked at Yunchuan, and some trance pleasure welled up in his heart.
"The clouds are to the vastness, and the mountains and rivers are to the woods. And I'm optimistic by nature, don't you think one of us is the opposite of me? Yun Chuan's eyes were full of brilliance, anyway, he was not good at these, so he explained it nonsense.
Yu Wenling turned his head to look at Yu Wenhan, thinking that his second emperor brother, who had been named King Ping, seemed to be a little talented, but he was really not outstanding among the royal brothers, the most important thing was that he had no mother to rely on, and he was timid and cautious in doing things, and he was indeed depressed. But it is precisely because of this that the queen mother is relieved to let herself associate with him, in the words of the queen mother, although the king of Ping is mediocre, this is also a rare advantage in the court. "Yunchuan" vs. "Hanlin", regardless of whether the text can be explained or not, at least the character is really right.
But Sheng Ze was a little unconvinced, and said again and again: "This is clearly a strong word, and it is also suspected of personal attack, and it must be punished for drinking!" ”
Yun Chuan defended: "Why is this a personal attack, you want to use me as a pair, then of course you have to be right in addition to the right words." You can just say that I am not a good pair. ”
Yun Xi also knows Yu Wenhan's temperament, knows how to think, and does not fight with others, but he is generous and benevolent, and he acts thoughtfully, but in the fierce competition for power, these are all regarded as the shortcomings of timidity and fear, and the kindness of women. His mother died early, and he could still be appreciated and cultivated by his father Yu Wenhua, but after the incident eight years ago, his life in the court must have been even more difficult. Yun Xi also heard from his uncle that now the queen's sister-in-law, King Nan, and the son of Concubine Ying, Chen Wang, are fighting in secret, and both sides have the intention of wooing Yu Wenhan, but he has never retreated and does not participate in any imperial power struggle. Even if the powerful minister recommended it to the emperor, he was also all kinds of shirks, and so far he has only served as a small sect in charge of etiquette and sacrifice in the Chunguan Mansion.
"I think that's right." Yang Qingyun rarely spoke, looked at Yu Wenhan who was smiling on the side and said, "Brother Yunchuan's right is not only contextual, but also situational. Brother Wen Han, did you say? ”
"I agree, I'll drink this wine!" Yu Wenhan raised his glass.
Yun Chuan was triumphant on the side, Yun Xi walked to Sheng Ze's side with a smile and said, "This 'right sentence' drinking order, some are opposite, and some are right. It's like a dragon to a phoenix, a song to a laugh. The word "Yunchuan" is the opposite of "Hanlin", and I feel that it can be "Zesheng", flowing clouds and water, the river is endless, and Qionglin is prosperous and prosperous. Yun Xi looked at Yun Chuan and Sheng Ze as he spoke, Sheng Ze immediately understood Yun Xi's metaphor, laughed "haha", and applauded: "It is said that Yun Xi is talented, and he really lives up to his name, 'Yun Chuan' is very good to 'Ze Sheng', very good!" ”
Yu Wenling also heard the mystery, and said with a gloating smile: "It's just a natural pair, a pair on the ground." 'Yunchuan' and 'Zesheng' are really a perfect match! ”
"Sister Ling, fall into the well, right?" Yun Chuan held his wine glass and said with a smile, "Yun Xi's mouth, no matter what you say, it's reasonable, I don't dare to provoke it!" However, I and the little prince of Shengze are really good buddies, I have chased wolves on the grassland and hunted eagles on Xuelong Mountain. Come, little prince, just make a toast to our 'Yunchuan' and 'Zesheng'. Sheng Ze said, "Okay!" ", and went away with Yunchuan.
"Then I'll make a pair and ask Brother Wen Han to come right." Yun Xi returned to his seat, looked at Yu Wenhan, and said word by word: "Chuan no Lin Sheng." ”
"Kawano Lin Sheng, is this Lin my Ling?" Yu Wenling muttered on the side.
"It's the forest of Qionglin Yushu." Yang Qingyun said.
Yun Xi nodded, looked at Yuwen Ling's somewhat disappointed eyes, and hurriedly added: "It can also be said to be your 'Ling' word, take its homonym." ”
"I think among us, only Yun Xi can talk to them in the Central Plains, I can't be a literati, it's better to get drunk and rest." Sheng Ze's bottle of daughter red had already been drunk, and he handed it to Yun Chuan with an empty wine glass, signaling her to fill it up.
"The water of the river is against the 'river', the wave is against the 'forest', the river is luxuriant, and the water waves are vast. How's that right? Yu Wenhan listened to Yun Xi's word very ingeniously, and the names of several people could become a pair with a lot of meaning.
"Admire, I replace wine with tea, and I do it first." Yun Xi raised the teacup and raised his glass with Yu Wenhan.
"It's still your ingenuity to put our names together in such a wonderful and spectacular picture, I just picked up a bargain from your words." Yu Wenhan replied.
"Xi Xuanhan." Yu Wenhan silently recited these three words and looked at Yun Xi fixedly. remembered that eight years ago, Yu Wenhan had just been crowned King Ping and had his own house. At that time, when he wanted to give his study a nickname, Xi'er proposed "Xi'anhan", but Xi'er's father vetoed it, thinking that there was a suspicion of ganging.
This matter was mentioned as soon as it was mentioned, and even Yang Qingyun didn't know about it. But the woman in front of her, dressed as a man named Yun Xi, except for one word with the same sound, really does not have the shadow of Xi'er in the past. Xi'er is not good at poetry, does not understand medical skills, does not drink alcohol but never drinks tea, and does not like to sit quietly. Are the two of them related or is it just a coincidence?
