After He Bai entered the hall, he summoned the guests to sit at the table, and the seats were arranged according to the order of sitting in the court, and ordered the slaves and maids to bring the food table and offer wine and food to everyone. He Bai raised his glass and said with a smile: "There is nothing good in the house, only thousands of stones of good wine brewed by myself to respect the wise men and talents in the court." ”

Everyone looked at the sake in their hands and couldn't help but be amazed, there are such clear mountain springs in the world, fragrant wine. smelling the tempting aroma of wine, everyone couldn't help but make a big fuss, just hoping that He Bai's opening remarks could be faster. Until He Bai said the word "dry", everyone took a sip of it, and then closed their eyes and quietly tasted the wine.

After a long time, the word "good" suddenly exploded in the hall, and then, one after another, the word "good" sounded one after another. Some people who are anxious don't wait for He Bai to do it again, they directly pick up the wine vat and drink it, and even more people who have good wine shed inexplicable tears.

Some people drank on the spot, chanted poems and praised, and some people even begged He Bai to buy a few stones of his own wine. After He Bai thanked them one by one, he had to refuse the person who bought the wine, only saying that if he wanted to drink, he could come to the house, as much as he wanted, but he couldn't take the wine away. The crowd couldn't help but be furious, clamoring to eat and drink the poor, and the newly sealed 1,500 households of He Bai came to the pavilion.

He Bai said with a smile: "I am afraid that there are many birds in the next door, but I am not afraid that the seats are often full." As long as the wine in the daily wine is not empty, I will not have to worry about it. ”

This remark amused everyone's joy, and Cao Cao raised his glass and shouted: "I have heard that Tianming has made "The Fu of the Gods", the words are moving, and it makes people reverie. If you are happy today, Tianming might as well compose a poem, so that I can wait to see Tianming's literary brilliance. ”

He Bai made a false excuse, but he couldn't push it over, and finally thought about it, and seemed to remember Li Shixian's song "Will Enter the Wine", so he chanted out loud: "You don't see, the water of the Yellow River comes up from the sky, and it flows to the sea and never returns." You don't see it, Gao Tang Mingjing is sad and white-haired, and the morning is like green silk turning into snow at dusk. Life must be happy, don't make the gold bottle empty to the moon. I am born to be useful, and my daughter will come back when I am gone. Cooking sheep and slaughtering cattle for pleasure will require 300 cups of drink. Ben Chu Gong, Cao Dianjun, will enter the wine, and the cup will not stop. Sing a song with you, please listen to it for me. The bells and drums are not expensive enough, but I hope that I will not wake up after being drunk for a long time. The ancient sages were all lonely, and only the drinker left his name. Du Kang used to make rice and wine, and he was happy to fight wine. What is the customer's words, and the money is less, and the right thing to drink. Five-flowered horses, daughters, and maids will exchange for fine wine, and sell eternal sorrow with you. ”

"Okay, good, a good 'Hu Wan will exchange for fine wine, and sell eternal sorrow with you', today I Cao Mengde will finally serve you."

For a while, the hall was full of profligate people, singing or dancing, or poetry or fu, where there was still half of the appearance of a righteous man and a gentleman in the court, all of them were a group of wanton drunkards. As the host, He Bai was even surrounded by a large group of people to toast, Rao is a low-alcohol wine of more than 20 degrees, which is also difficult for He Bai to accept. After being poured four or five catties of wine by everyone, He Bai immediately pretended to lie down. Pretending to be dressed, I don't know when I really fell asleep.

When I woke up, it was time to go to court the next day. He Bai got up in a hurry, and asked Luo Pei, who was accompanying Ye Xun who was driving, "How did I get drunk at yesterday's banquet?" ”

Luo Pei said with a smile: "Although the lord of yesterday's banquet was drunk, the guests were very satisfied, more than three hundred and forty people, and drank nearly a hundred stones of good wine. He has composed nearly 1,000 poems, but only the poems of the lord are the best. In the end, almost everyone walked away. The only thing that is not too good is that the lord did not buy some concubines, which disappointed many guests who wanted to stay in the mansion. However, one of the imperial historians who went to the banquet yesterday, named Huang Chengyan, once boasted that he would send thirty good concubines to the master today, so that the master could entertain guests in the future. ”

He Bai couldn't help but laugh dumbly, he was not used to raising concubines in the house, because this was similar to the pimp, so he didn't buy it. But the world is like this, and some people want to send thirty concubines plainly, so it is not good for He Bai to accept it, and it is not good to accept it.

He Bai had heard Gongsun Fu say before that in addition to accompanying VIPs for the night, concubines could also be given to capable guests and warriors to buy people's hearts. Moreover, the children born to concubines, if they are not recognized by the owner, will basically stay in the house and be used as domestic slaves in the house. Because he grew up in the house since he was a child, his loyalty is far higher than that of outsiders. If you train it well, you are more likely to become the right-hand man of the head of the family.

After thinking about it, He Bai decided to follow the customs of the locals, how could he change the customs that had been passed down for thousands of years. And these concubines are always better in their own place than in others, so they should be down.

It's just that the name of Huang Chengyan, He Bai seems to be a little familiar. But the last dynasty was imminent, and He Bai had no intention of paying attention to it. rushed to the outside of the palace gate, and everyone who didn't want to go to the banquet yesterday was all in good spirits waiting to line up to enter the palace. Seeing He Bai coming, they all had teasing eyes, as if they were laughing at He Bai's wild words about preparing wine for guests every day, but the amount of wine was so poor.

He Bai shook his head helplessly when he saw it, nearly a hundred stones yesterday, a full five or six thousand catties of good wine, were all drunk by this group of wine barrels. On average, each person drank about fifteen catties, which can be compared to the reputation of Li Shixian's hundred poems on wine.

He Bai originally wanted to bring the high-grade wine he had brewed and let them taste the power of the high-grade wine. But after thinking about it, forget it, as the saying goes, rare is expensive. I don't have any good things to get my hands on, and high-grade wine is a big killer weapon for myself, which is specially given away as a treasure. If it is used for banquets, it is lost.

In the dark, He Bai saw He Jin beckoning to him, and He Bai hurriedly trotted away. Before coming to He Jin, He Jin scolded with a smile: "Tianming feasted guests in the mansion yesterday, and also gave a kind of unheard of high-quality wine 'Tianming Wine' for the guests to drink, but he didn't invite me to drink, what is the reason?" ”

He Bai hurriedly gave up his hand and said: "Where is there any Tianming wine, but the wine made by Bai is very clear, and the taste and aroma are better than the wine syrup, so they call it Tianming wine indiscriminately." However, yesterday's wine was not good, and Bai had some better wine, and Bai sent it to the general after the next dynasty. ”

He Jin let He Bai go with satisfaction, and after waiting for the next court, He Bai immediately took two jars of five-pound high-height wine from the mansion and sent them to He Jin. At that time, it was the time when He Jin sent dozens of generals under the command of the Western Expedition Army to the Quartet to recruit elite soldiers. Bao Hong to Yanzhou, Wang Kuang to Taishan, Zhang Yang to Bingzhou, Zhang Liao to Jizhou, Hu Wuban to Yangzhou......

He Bai knew that they were going, although they could summon tens of thousands of elite soldiers, but they didn't return until He Jin died. Because no one gathered and reorganized, all the elite soldiers called were under Dong Zhuo's command, which is also the reason why Dong Zhuo was able to dominate the world.

He Bai still hasn't made up his mind whether to help He Jin, because whether it is from history or from recent interactions, He Jin is a benevolent and good person who is in the position of a general. People like him have a bottom line in doing things, and they can't do it to clear dissent, dominate the court, and reform the world. And he doesn't have the self-knowledge to think that he is still very powerful. So people like him are okay in peacetime, but once they come to troubled times, they will be the first to be killed.

It's just that He Jin privately recognized himself as his nephew, and he had no principled trust in himself, which also made He Bai unbearable to watch him fall. For a while, He Bai has always been entangled in the world and feelings in his heart, and he feels extremely embarrassed.

For a long time, He Bai couldn't help but laugh dumbly, in fact, what is the difference between himself and He Jin, isn't he a good person who likes to be righteous and angry? How much stronger is the ability than him? How much better is his character? Maybe when he sits in He Jin's seat, he will not be as good as him. It's better to help as much as possible, it's really not good, and then withdraw when there is chaos.

In the afternoon, at the gate of Gumen in the north of Luoyang, He Bai sent Zhang Yang and Zhang Liao all the way to the north. In the past, when he was in Taiyuan, He Bai deliberately intersected with these two sheets, but the two sheets often followed Ding Yuan to Yanmen and Taiyuan, and there were warriors like Lu Bu who were tempted by each other, so the friendship was average.

Since coming to Luoyang City, there has been no good life for martial artists like Erzhang. Zhang Yang served as Sima under Jian Shuo, and Zhang Liao served as a rafter in He Jinfu, both of whom were miscellaneous people who were not concerned. Therefore, the arrival of He Bai, and then deliberately intersected, which suddenly gave the two of them a sense of knowing each other in a foreign land.

Just like yesterday's wine banquet, it is difficult to mix in as two sheets. But He Bai gave them this opportunity, so that the two of them were grateful to He Bai. Today, I heard that Erzhang was going north, and immediately came to see him off again, which made Erzhang love He Bai more and more.

He Bai gave a ceremony of fifty gold, and another person sent two jars of high-height wine, and said mysteriously: "This wine is better than the usual wine, except for the general and Mr. Cai Bojiao, I have not given it to others." I can't carry too much with me when I go north this time, and when I return, how about I drink with you again? ”

The second sheet opened a small hole slightly, and the smell of fragrant wine came to the face, which was purer and more correct than yesterday's fragrance. After a while, it attracted the attention of his subordinate cavalry and city soldiers. Erzhang hurriedly blocked the small hole, and said in surprise: "Thank you for Tianming's love, after the two of us return, we will definitely not get drunk with you." ”

"Good, good, good. If you don't get drunk, you don't go home. Let's go, there is a mountain in front of me blocking my vision, and I will give you two a ride. With that, He Bai sent two more to the north of the mountain. On the way, the three of them talked about the interesting days in Bingzhou, especially saying that in recent months, Lu Bu seemed to be happy with a Lin'er, and Lu Bu was like a slave. He Bai went to Jinyang to give gifts, so he asked Zhang Yang to give him a hundred refined steel swords, a copy of "Spring and Autumn", and a long-lived jade lock.

After sending the Beibi Mountain Road, He Bai sent a letter to Zhang Liao, and said: "There is the benevolence of Zhang Thorn Shi in the past, and Uncle Zhi's actions must be very smooth." However, Wen Yuan went to Jizhou, Hebei, and was afraid that things would not be slack. I have a slight reputation in Changshan and Zhongshan, and if there is something wrong, I can go to the two countries to ask for help from my family soldiers. I have always known that Wenyuan is arrogant, but you and I are different from others, and my family's things are as good as they can be used, so don't be restrained. ”

Zhang Liao was moved to thank He Bai deeply, and said: "Brother's virtue, Liao should remember in his heart, this time to Jizhou, Liao will not be too restrained." After returning, Liao thanked his brother for his righteous help. ”

He Bai wanted to send it to Mengjin Port again, but at this time, the sun was already slanting westward, and if he sent it again, he would be trapped outside the city. He Bai will go to court early tomorrow morning, so under the persuasion of Erzhang, He Bai had to turn helplessly.

He Bai looked back in three steps, but happened to meet the two who looked back, and the three of them couldn't help but smile at each other and bowed their hands on the horse. Turning around and leaving, He Bai couldn't help but look back again, and it was the three of them at the same time. At this time, Zhang Liao, who was relatively young, was more emotional, and he couldn't help but ride his horse back anymore, shouting He Bai, "Brother." ”

He Bai was overjoyed, and also rode his horse to turn around and shout "brother" and ran towards Zhang Liao, and the two jumped off the horse and hugged each other tightly. Zhang Liao exclaimed excitedly: "Brother, in the past, except for his parents and stepfather, no one else will care for Liao like this anymore." Today's brother is the same, Liao is grateful, and wants to become a brother with his brother, I don't know if there is a high climb? ”

He Bai responded happily: "Okay, well, I already have this intention in my heart, but I am afraid that Tang will surprise Wenyuan, and I dare not say it lightly." Today, Wenyuan has this heart, how should I not. ”

Under the witness of Zhang Yang, the two gathered soil for incense, looked at the mountain and worshipped, and became brothers to each other. He Bai is the eldest and Zhang Liao is the younger brother, so far they have formed a brotherly relationship.
