Chapter 2: The Drunken and Absurd Hou (I)

Nanlu Xia Tang County, Jixia City

Just after noon, the drunken bustard and the turtle were so busy that their feet did not touch the ground, and they ran more than a dozen times upstairs and downstairs, and the willow stairs were trampled and creaky, and the two bumped into each other at the corner, showing a loveless expression.

The old bustard took a sip and scolded:

"Don't you think there's enough old lady to do if you don't open your eyes?"

Turtle Gonghou Er pursed his lips and complained in a low voice:

"What is this called, it's been three days......

Hua Niang crossed her hands on her hips, and then scolded:

"Dog thing! What happened in three days?! It's three years, and you have to serve the old lady!! ”

Hou Er turned around and walked downstairs stupidly, muttering in his mouth:

"What kind of bullshit young marquis, you really treat this brothel as a palace......

Hua Niang didn't bother to scold anymore, sighed lightly, walked upstairs with her skirt, trotted to a door in broken steps, tried to pile up an embarrassing and flattering smile on her face, took a deep breath, and pushed the door in.

I saw a mess of cups and plates in the room, an old man and a young man sitting crookedly around the carved round table, a young man of sixteen or seventeen years old, dressed in a brocade shirt, dressed in wealth and compelling, and a young woman next to him holding a wine jug and trying to laugh.

The old man with white hair sitting opposite him looked like he was drunk, wiping his wet beard with one hand and begging the woman with a wine glass in the other.

The girl's empty hand was dragged by the noble boy, and when she saw the old bustard girl enter the house, she hurriedly said as if she had seen a savior:

"Mother Hua, you're here, the young marquis is looking for you."

The son-in-law, who was called the young marquis, didn't raise his eyes, still stroking the slender jade hand, and muttered drunkenly:

"Qiaonu'er, Qiaonu'er, your skillful hands are really like mutton fat and white jade, how can you be so good-looking......"

This delicate-looking, but frivolous son-in-law is the only son of Lu Dingguo, the first Marquis of the Shangzhu State of the Dahao Dynasty.

And the old man who spent all day drinking with him in this brothel was the Xixi master who was invited to this young marquis by Marquis Xianyong last month, known as He Shanxue, the first erudite in the Tang Dynasty.

Lu Dingguo must not have thought that he originally expected this He Shanxue to teach his son to know books and etiquette, but because he was greedy for a cup of good wine, he was corrupted by this kid within two days and became a wine Mengzi who lingered in the Qinglou Tavern.

Hua Niang looked helpless, cautiously took two steps closer, walked to Lu Shaoqing's side, bent her knees slightly, and whispered in his ear:

"Young Marquis, Qiao Nu'er has been with you all morning, and I have to let her rest."

Lu Shaoqing turned around, looked at Hua Niang, tried to open his eyes to identify who was coming, and finally let go of his hand, and said with a smile:

"It turned out to be Sister Bustard, sit down quickly, and accompany us to have two more drinks with Master He."

He Shanxue smiled when he heard this, and said vaguely:

"No, no, the old and the young don't need to be accompanied."

Lu Shaoqing didn't care about him, hugged Qiao Nu'er's slender waist, and jokingly said:

"Sister Bustard, look, Master He, this is the person who dislikes you, or does he dislike your drunken wine, don't appreciate your face."

He Shanxue raised his head and drank a cup, and said with a smile:

"No, no, this osmanthus wine, it's good, it's good."

"What a fart, what a fart."

Lu Shaoqing scolded in his mouth, but there was still a cynical smile on his face, and he asked Hua Niang again:

"What about Second Brother Hou? He can say that you have an authentic Ningzhou fire summer here, which is much more energetic than this faint osmanthus brew. ”

Hua Niang secretly scolded this damn Hou Er in her heart, she is used to bragging and nonsense on weekdays, this Huoxia wine is native to Ningzhou, which is thousands of miles away, but the brewing process has long been almost lost, and even those barbarians in Ningzhou can rarely drink it, how can she have it here.

However, she knew that this "ridiculous marquis" had always been determined to obtain this kind of rare thing, although it would not be taken by force, but if he heard that Zuihuaiju hid fire summer wine, if he didn't bring him two pots, it would be difficult to get out of him today.

"Young Marquis, you listen to that turtle grandson talking nonsense, how can there be such rare wine in a small place like me......"

Lu Shaoqing didn't wait for Hua Niang to finish speaking, and interrupted her with a smile:

"Small place? Sister Bustard, your drunken Huaiju is not a small place, I personally went to the Jiageku to turn over the county chronicles, hundreds of years ago when the Tang Dynasty was still called Yanzhou, there was a Yalou called Zuihuaiju, you can be regarded as a ...... It is a century-old brand. ”

Hua Niang heard that her head was even bigger, and she secretly scolded this young marquis for being a vassal and elegant, and she just went to the kiln when she went to the kiln, and she didn't call this Qinglou brothel what "Yalou", but she actually gave this small restaurant the name of "century-old brand".

He Shanxue, who was on the side, suddenly opened his mouth and said vaguely:

"The same name, the same name, young marquis, I really didn't expect you to learn all about this subset of scriptures and history, but you have the heart to go to the grid library to turn over the boring county chronicles."

Lu Shaoqing laughed and said:

"Master He, Master He, I have always only read books that interest me, do what I am interested in, what is the history of the broken scriptures, what the seven books and eight classics, the bullshit does not understand, the bullshit does not understand, there are many interesting anecdotes hidden in the county records of all parties."

He Shanxue's lifelong study was scorned as bullshit by Lu Shaoqing, but he was not angry, but raised his glass and sighed:

"The young marquis is happy in life, with great ambitions, strong, strong."

"Boobs? …… Birthmark? …… Strong? ......" Lu Shaoqing was confused when he heard this, and subconsciously touched the skinny ribs under the brocade robe, and then seemed to think of something, and immediately lay on the wine table and laughed, pointing at He Shanxue breathlessly and saying:

"You...... You...... This old master, what did I tell you, when you get to this fireworks and willow lane, don't spray those sour words. ”

This indecent old and young man did not match the preface, and the cow lips were talking nonsense, which made Hua Niang and Qiao Nuer at a loss, and Hua Niang hurriedly glanced at Qiao Nuer.

Qiao Nu'er reluctantly helped up the staggering Lu Shaoqing and persuaded:

"Young Marquis, we can't drink anymore, we can't afford to drink our bodies."

Lu Shaoqing squinted, thought for a while, and said:

"I can't drink it anymore, young marquis, I'm strong and strong, the old master's tattered body, if you drink it again, you'll have to woo woo."

Hua Niang and Qiao Nu'er were relieved when they heard this, but they heard the young marquis shouting again:

"What about Siqin, where is Siqin? I want to hear her play, I want to hear her sing! ”

Hua Niang was one of the first two big ones when she landed, and said with a bitter face:

"Young Marquis, Siqin is the pianist of the shop, she doesn't pick up customers......"

When Lu Shaoqing heard this, he feigned anger and said:

"Nonsense, is this young marquis asking Miss Siqin to pick up guests, is this young master just a guest? Miss Siqin and I are friends! ”

After finishing speaking, he immediately pinched Qiao Nu'er's slender hand, and said with a sly face:

"Qiaonu'er, we are too, and we are also friends."
