Chapter 30: The Drinking Boy

Gushu Mountain is located in the east of Qingzhou, fifty miles west of Jimo City.

Wei Long took Ji Da Wall down the mountain, and Mr. Lu also left Zhaoxianglu, where he had lived for thirteen years, under Wei Long's persuasion.

At the foot of the mountain, a team of soldiers and horses are waiting here, and these people are Wei Long's personal guards.

Wei Long pulled Ji Daqiang into the first four-horse carriage, and Mr. Lu got into the single carriage behind.

The three of Webber mounted their horses, and they were in front of them, and they were on the left and right.

Wei Long's voice came from the gorgeous four-horse carriage,

"Let's go!"

Dozens of horsemen and horses slowly walked towards Jimo City.

Feeling that the carriage was so big that it was about to catch up with his room on the mountain, Ji Daqiang looked at everything in the carriage curiously.

There was a soft couch in the carriage, and Wei Long sat on it, beckoning Ji Daqiang, who was sitting on the side, to come over and sit down next to him.

Ji Daqiang sat down obediently.

The battle of the great general stunned the child, who had grown up in the mountains.

Mr. mentioned it when he was talking about "etiquette" to him.

In the book, it is said that "the Son of Heaven drives six, the princes drive five, the Qing drives four, the doctor is three, the scholar is two, and the Shuren is one".

What is said in the book is unimaginable luxury if you have not seen it with your own eyes.

I just got into the four-horse carriage, and this feeling is really comfortable.

After sitting on the soft couch, he checked it up and down, it was so soft, it was much more comfortable than the bed he slept on.

Looking at the general who was looking at him with a smile, Ji Daqiang, who wanted to lie down and be comfortable, sat next to Wei Long obediently and did not make a sound.

Wei Long looked at this child, and his heart was sour, with this child's background, it would not be so novel as a carriage.

Wei Long reached out and touched Ji Daqiang's head, Ji Daqiang's body moved, but he didn't dare to move.

"Child, I've wronged you all these years!"

Ji Daqiang doesn't like others to touch his head the most, he has been like this since he was a child, but now the temperature coming from his head makes him feel very warm, a certain sense of intimacy from his blood.

He plucked up his courage, looked at this powerful man, and asked,

"General, who am I?"

Wei Long, who was known as the iron-masked general in Qingzhou, showed a gentle smile and said,

"You, it's a big wall!"

If he hadn't been able to beat this general who had come out of Penglai Pavilion together, he would have slapped him a long time ago, why did he talk so hard?

Of course, Ji Daqiang also knew that this old man must have some kind of relationship with him, otherwise he wouldn't be able to treat himself like this.

At this time, Wei Long continued,

"You are the son of King Lu, your surname, Qi, is called Qi Daqiang. ”

Ji Daqiang was stunned, what surname Qi, what Qi Daqiang, he turned out to be the son of King Lu, King Lu He knew, that was the heaven of Qingzhou.

Looking at Ji Daqiang, who looked puzzled, Wei Long continued,

"Son, I'm actually your grandfather. ”

————————————————

The two-day journey had already worn out his interest in right and wrong, and he couldn't lift any of his spirits at the thought of having a long way to go.

On the way, Yuan Xi looked at the godless Cheng Cheng, so he drove him out of the car and asked him to follow Teady Fei as a companion.

I had the experience of chasing horses and running 7 before, and Cheng Shifei, who was slow down with the carriage, didn't feel any difficulty, and someone accompanied him was even more happy, running around Cheng Shifei before and after.

Zhang Zhongqian sat in the carriage and practiced with his eyes closed, carefully pondering the internal skills and mental methods that his father-in-law had taught him not long ago.

He knew his father-in-law's intentions.

Jingzhou's business was withdrawn, and he Zhang Zhongqian had to start all over again. The Zhang family has begun to hand over the family's main business to the hands of the eldest brother, Zhang Bonian.

Think about it, have you neglected the good wife of the family all these years. The two have been married to Qin and Jin for many years, but they have not given birth to any children.

And the eldest brother already has a son and a daughter.

Cheng Junfei didn't say it, in fact, he also understood that she was under a lot of pressure, and some gossip would inevitably reach her ears.

There are three unfilial pieties, no queen is the greatest, and women who can't give birth to children are the most likely to be looked down upon.

When Cheng Junfei told him that he wanted to help him take a concubine, Zhang Zhongqian, who loved his wife deeply, realized that he had been busy with business all these years and had neglected her too much.

He made up his mind that no matter what business he did in the future, he must have his wife with him.

Before, he was actually afraid that his wife wouldn't work too hard, so he didn't let him go around with him, but now that he thinks about it, in fact, she bears more in this way.

After teaching him all the internal skills, the father-in-law said to him meaningfully,

"Once the spring is all over the red and old, don't wait for no flowers and empty branches!"

The father-in-law is a person who has come over.

In addition to practicing, Yuan Xi in the carriage thought about the knowledge that the master had told him.

Master talks a lot, he remembers a lot, he understands a lot, but he doesn't necessarily understand everything.

This time, by escorting the Zhang family caravan, Yuan Xi wanted to get to know the merchant carefully, see more, think more, and think more.

Because Master once focused on teaching him the way of businessman.

The master did not let him learn the business scriptures, but used the way of business to explain to him the relationship between this world, people and people, and people and things.

What Master said at that time, he always remembered,

"It is the instinct of human beings to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and it is the foundation of the survival of all things. ”

Anyi Town is not a big town, but there are several inns, because it is located on the border of the two states, many people settle here to rest.

Zhang Zhongqian took the group to the inn where he often stayed.

After gnawing on the dry food for two days, I felt sorry for the right and wrong of my mouth, and pulled my brother-in-law's sleeve, and then said,

"Brother-in-law, let's eat something good tonight, in the past two days, there is no taste in my mouth!"

Zhang Zhongqian smiled, and then said,

"Don't worry, there's something delicious in the store, just eat it, I'm afraid we'll have to eat and sleep in the open for at least five days, tonight, let's eat hard." ”

Cheng Shifei, who was quite happy, heard what his brother-in-law said, and he couldn't cheer up again, and the previous oath in front of his father Cheng Yunde had already been taken away by fatigue and boredom.

At this time, Yuan Xi came over and patted him on the shoulder, and said,

"Xiao Fei, have you ever heard this sentence, there is wine today and drunk today, eat a good meal tonight, and then when you go on the road, you have free time, I will teach you the method of force. ”

As soon as he heard that Brother Yuan would instruct him on kung fu, he became energetic, nodded vigorously and said yes.

Seeing this, Zhang Zhongqian on the side opened his mouth, did not speak, and walked into the inn with everyone.

Zhang Zhongqian didn't cheat on right and wrong, roast chicken, barbecue, and even stewed hare, three plates were placed on the table of three people, Zhang Zhongqian asked someone to bring a jar of wine, poured it for Yuan Xi and himself, and said to Cheng Fei who was eager to try,

"I won't let you drink until my father allows me, eat meat!"

The other servants sat around two tables, and Zhang Zhongqian instructed the innkeeper to have a pot of stew on each table in addition to the white bun stew, so that everyone could eat and have a good time.

Because he had to get up early the next day and hurry, only two jars of wine were placed on each table, and Zhang Zhongqian went over to tell everyone to drink a little to relieve their fatigue.

There is wine and meat, where can I find such a master's house? And they shouted,

"Thank you, Second Young Master, you can rest assured. ”

When Zhang Zhongqian returned to his table, it was lively.

During the two-day journey, half of Cheng Shifei walked with Funny Fei. ripped off the head of the chicken and threw it to Teaman who was lying on his heels, and Teaman licked the surface of his feet and gnawed it.

Cheng was really hungry, muttering in his heart, this wine, what is there to drink, and he delayed eating meat.

He didn't be polite to the two, so he tore off a chicken leg and gnawed it.

Zhang Zhongqian saluted Yuan Xi for a moment, and then said,

"Yuan Shaoxia, it's hard work. ”

Yuan Xi replied, and then said,

"Zhang Gongzi doesn't need to be polite, you also paid the silver. ”

Zhang Zhongqian smiled, this Yuan Shaoxia is really a wonderful person.

The same road, different people, have different stories.

Once in the inn, Zhang Zhongqian mostly drank alone, and the hired guards would rather drink and fart and chat with his subordinates than sit with him and have a few drinks.

After a few bites, Cheng Shifei eliminated a chicken leg, and threw the bone to Teaser, he was ready to take down the other chicken leg.

Zhang Zhongqian is his brother-in-law after all, if it is just the two of them, let alone the chicken legs, even if the whole chicken is eaten by Xiao Fei, he is also happy, but there is Yuan Xi on the table, so he glared at Cheng Fei.

Cheng retracted his hand in disbelief, grabbed his chopsticks and grabbed a piece of hare meat and gnawed it.

Yuan Xi only felt funny when he saw this, and Zhang Zhongqian said on the side,

"Xiao Fei has liked to eat chicken since he was a child, and every time he sees chicken, it is this virtue. ”

Cheng Fei, who was eating with a mouth full of oil, said,

"Brother-in-law, do you dare to say that about me because you married my sister home? But then again, although I ate a lot of roast chicken from you when I was a child, I also helped you say a lot of good things. ”

Looking down at the bone, he looked at the half-gnawed flesh and bone in his hand, threw it under the table, and continued,

"Brother Yuan, the rabbit stewed in this shop is very good, it is better than the stew of Uncle Song at home, you can try it." ”

Zhang Zhongqian smiled and shook his head, his brother-in-law did help him a lot at the beginning, otherwise he might not be willing to marry his daughter to him.

At this time, Cheng Shifei remembered one thing, so he asked,

"Brother-in-law, didn't you say that when you went out in the past, you hired Jingzhou's guards and then went to Chunshui City, then to Bazhou, and then hired here, so why didn't you do it this time?"

Zhang Zhongqian, who had just finished drinking a bowl of wine with Yuan Xi, took a bite to eat, and then said to the two,

"Earlier, the guards didn't say much, they just made less money, and we did what we did. But now, we are clearly withdrawing from Jingzhou, and there will be no business to speak of in the future, and the other party is not willing to make our money at all, I am afraid that they still want to teach us a lesson. ”

After a few bowls of wine, his face was slightly red.

Zhang Zhongqian was a little worried, looked at Yuan Xi and said,

"Yuan Shaoxia, it's not that I, Zhang, can't trust you, you can agree to help me, I am very grateful, but according to my speculation, I'm afraid that the three mountains have already targeted us. Among them, I will make it clear to you first, it really can't be done, you take Xiao Fei back, I will never stop it, after all, Xiao Fei is my brother-in-law, and I still have to protect him. ”

Yuan Xi didn't speak, but Cheng Cheng on the side was a little anxious, and said,

"Brother-in-law, what are you talking about, I am a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death. ”

After speaking, he looked at Yuan Xi and said,

"Brother Yuan, do you think I have the courage to say this?"

Yuan Xi smiled, and then said to Zhang Zhongqian first,

"Zhang Gongzi, I still say the same thing, since I agreed, I will definitely not regret it. As for Xiao Fei, at the critical moment, he is more effective than the people sitting at the two tables. Destiny is the same, and if they go and we will get it. You are Xiao Fei's brother-in-law, there is a difference between intimacy and intimacy, you just wanted to protect Xiao Fei, that is human nature, you can rest assured. ”

After saying that, he said to right and wrong,

"The momentum is good, I don't know if you still have the confidence to say such a thing in the face of ten vicious dogs. ”

As soon as he heard Brother Yuan say this, Cheng Cheng softened and muttered,

"How can a thief rob the road with a dog? ”

After listening to Yuan Xi's words, he was moved by Zhang Zhongqian to pour wine for himself and Yuan Xi, and then said,

"Xiao Fei, it's hard to say, I heard that those bandits and bandits have a few vicious dogs in the mountains. ”

After listening to it, Cheng Shifei actually showed a disdainful look on his face, and then said,

"Brother Yuan just said, he will protect me, with Brother Yuan's momentum, I'm afraid I can subdue a few vicious dogs to our family. ”

After saying that, he then asked,

"Brother-in-law, just now you mentioned that the future return road is dangerous, so why didn't we say it before we left? ”

Yuan Xi tore off another chicken leg and put it in the bowl, and then said,

"It's not that your brother-in-law doesn't want to say it, but he can't say it, otherwise this matter will be delayed, and his life will be even more difficult. At this time, I said that with you and me, let us have a preparation in our hearts, even if we go all the way to Wuling, in fact, there is no danger, but I am afraid that the return journey will not be calm, so Zhang Gongzi gave us a lot of time. ”

Turning his head, he said to Zhang Zhongqian,

"Zhang Gongzi, but if Xiao Fei and I go back safely, you and the caravan have a problem, and Xiao Fei and I will not be able to gain a foothold in Pingnan City. So, you don't have to think about it, on the way here, let's check the next road, pay more attention to the dangerous places, and plan early. ”

Picking up the wine in the bowl, he said to Cheng right and wrong,

"Xiaofei, what do you say?"

Cheng Shifei only felt that his blood was boiling, he glanced at his brother-in-law, stretched out his hand and picked up Zhang Zhongqian's wine bowl, drank it all, it was so spicy that he grinned his teeth, and then said,

"Daddy asked me if I wanted to live a stable life in Pingnan City, or if I wanted to see the world and the vastness of the world, I envied that bird had wings, so I wanted to come out and see. ”

Zhang Zhongqian didn't expect Cheng to say such a thing, he shouted at the shopkeeper,

"Shopkeeper, bring another wine bowl!"

After taking back his wine bowl and glaring at it, he spoke,

"You drank it yourself, Yuan Shaoxia testified, since you drank it, then drink it, anyway, you also tied your hair, taste the mellow after this spicy. ”

Speaking of this, he looked at the right and wrong who was coughing lightly, and asked with a smile,

"How's it going?"

Cheng Shifei, who was still in high spirits, is now grabbing the chicken leg and stuffing it into his mouth, pressing the hot feeling in his throat, the first time he dips in wine, a bowl of wine is poured like this, Cheng Shifei feels that he can spew fire when he opens his mouth.

After swallowing two bites of chicken, he felt better, and he said,

"Brother-in-law, that's what wine tastes like, and it's not delicious!"

Yuan Xi smiled beside him,

"I was better than you when I first drank alcohol, but I was choked with spicy enough that I didn't think it was good at the time. Master laughed at me and said to me, "If you are not a young man, you must drink." I don't know what drinking has to do with a merry boy, but what Master said, I didn't understand, so I wrote it down. As for drinking, Master had a life, so he drank it. ”

Yuan Xi remembered that every time the master drank, he had to have fun, indulged himself wantonly, danced and sang in the mountains, and sometimes grabbed a branch and danced a sword there.

That kind of master is like a celestial being.

With his and Master's skills, it was actually easy to sober up, but Master had a hangover every time he drank until he woke up naturally.

He said to Yuan Xi that this is life.

It's rare to get drunk a few times in life, it's rare to get drunk, and it's hard to wake up.

The three of them drank an extra jar of wine.

It was the first time that Cheng Shifei felt the taste of dizziness, he only felt that his eyelids were heavy, and his mouth did not obey the call, and it was Yuan Xi who carried him into the room.

Yuan Xi was not drunk, he also wanted to get drunk, but unfortunately he drank well.

Sometimes, drinking may be thinking of someone, and sometimes, thinking of someone, people get drunk.

He hasn't told Cheng right or wrong yet, he has another friend in Pingnan City.

I guess it's a friend.

She was born so good-looking, with long eyebrows like daisies, and people are more fragrant than flowers.

——————————————

Lu Yiping took two jars of good wine to Dong's mansion.

Dong Shixian was also very helpless, this old man had to bring two jars of wine by himself every time he came to the door, and he carried it so swaggeringly, as if the wine in our city lord's mansion was not enough for him to drink.

These two jars of wine really gave him a headache, and every time the two of them drank about the same, he shouted, "Drink the two good jars of wine I have brought."

His Dong Shixian's wine is bad?

He didn't have Lu Yiping's martial arts skills, he drank too much, and he really vomited.

Fortunately, his son is an adult, and he can drink a lot with Uncle Lu.

Lu Yiping didn't care, just someone to accompany him to drink, but then there were rumors that the father and son of the city lord's mansion went into battle and were drunk unconscious by General Lu.

When was he, Lu Yiping, not sent back by someone from the City Lord's Mansion?

It's also Dong Shixian who doesn't care, this face is given, and his old Lu also gives him Dong Shixian face in other scenes.

The people of the Zhennan Army were still very polite to the civilian officials of Pingnan City.

The two have a good relationship, they are both colleagues and friends, and at the same time, they are the two most powerful figures in Pingnan City.

The appetizer is very simple, two meat and two vegetables, plus a plate of brine peanuts.

Salted peanuts are Lu Yiping's favorite, and this dish is his own special appetizer.

Without waiting for Dong Shixian to speak, Lu Yiping was about to call Xiang Lin Xian's nephew over to drink together.

Dong Shixian was a little strange, in the past, he only let his son appear when he was too drunk, and Lu Yiping, who was entrusted with the big one, didn't see it.

Dong Xianglin, who came out to see Uncle Lu, was even more nervous, not for anything else, just because he thought it was Lu Guanju who asked her father to come.

He went out to deliver the letter in person, how could something go wrong? Could it be that the female devil's words don't count?

Dong Xianglin, who was a little uneasy, called "Uncle Lu" and sat next to his father, opposite Lu Yiping.

At this time, Lu Yiping beckoned Dong Xianglin opposite, patted the position next to him, and said,

"Virtuous nephew, come, come and sit next to your uncle. ”

Dong Xianglin was so frightened that his heart was about to pop out, looking at Lu Yiping's smiling face, he seemed to see Lu Motou looking at him with a smile.

Uncle Lu is so enthusiastic, does he want to bring up the old things again?

Under his repeated requests, his father and mother had long lost the mind of marrying the Lu family, and his mother helped him take a good look at the daughter of the Xu family in the city.

Moving his steps over, Lu Yiping pressed Dong Xianglin, who was still hesitant, on the seat with a big hand.

Dong Shixian doesn't know what kind of play his old friend sang today, can't he marry Lu Yiping's daughter, and really rely on his Dong Mansion?

Dong Shixian felt that Lu Guanju was still very good, but his son just didn't agree, and his wife didn't like it, and he complained many times after that, saying that he drank and made mistakes.

Once I forced Dong Shixian to be anxious, and said to the chattering lady, drinking is wrong, drinking is wrong, then Xianglin was born after drinking, why did he make a mistake?

Looking at the old man who was a little angry, Dong Shixian's mother didn't feel wronged, but just glared at the old man, and then scolded, "Dead ghost!"

Since then, Dong Shixian, who has drunk alcohol, has tried to avoid his wife as much as possible.

He hurt his waist after drinking, and he is also nearly forty years old.

Lu Yiping said with a smile,

"Virtuous nephew, quickly pour the wine! Today, you and my uncle and nephew have a few drinks, but your father can't do it, and he will get drunk after a few drinks. Go back and go to my house to complain to your aunt, my uncle is afraid that he will sleep in the camp. ”

Dong Xianglin hurriedly got up, poured wine for his father, Uncle Lu, and himself, and then gritted his teeth, looked at Lu Yiping with a sad face and asked,

"Uncle Lu, are you here today specifically to find your little nephew?"

Lu Yiping looked stunned, then laughed, and said to Dong Shixian,

"I said, Brother Shixian, this kid Xianglin is still smart and smart, yes, Uncle Lu really has something to ask you today. ”

When Dong Xianglin heard it, it was over, what should I do, how should I say it, I don't want to marry someone else's girl, no matter how I say it, it will be Uncle Lu's face.

Picking up his glass, he got up and said,

"Thanks to Uncle Lu for looking up to his little nephew, this glass of wine is for Uncle Lu!"

Seeing him serving wine, Lu Yiping picked up his wine glass.

After Dong Xianglin drank a glass of wine, he stood for a moment, pressed his forehead with his right hand, shook his head, and then said,

"Uncle Lu, today's wine seems to be so strong, the little nephew is a little overwhelmed, just a glass of stomach, I feel a little dizzy, I am afraid that I will talk nonsense later, and I hope Uncle Lu Haihan. ”

Dong Shixian looked at it, took a deep breath, and felt helpless, his son is a little fox playing tricks with the old hunter.

Lu Yiping looked at Dong Xianglin, who was pretending to be dizzy, smiled slightly, and then said,

"There is an old saying that you can spit out the truth after drinking, and the virtuous nephew just drinks it, and Uncle Lu wants to hear your truth. ”

Dong Xianglin saw that he couldn't hide from it, in case he really drank too much and said that the female devil, oh, no, it was a bad word about Miss Lu who was knowledgeable and gifted, and showed off her wisdom, wouldn't it be worse.

Thinking of this, he felt a pang in his heart and said,

"Uncle Lu, the little nephew asked himself if he was worthy of Ling Ai, so you might as well choose another virtuous son-in-law!"

When Dong Shixian heard this, his son was iron-hearted, so he said,

"Lao Lu, the virtuous niece is indeed a dragon and a phoenix, and my children are stubborn, these two people are indeed a little inappropriate. ”

Lu Yiping looked at the father and son, and was a little surprised when he said such inexplicable words, he had no words while holding the wine glass.

He didn't take what he said at the wine table seriously.

He had a principle of never drinking to make a decision.

Besides, he is still very open-minded about his daughter's marriage, and he has to nod his daughter.

Dong Shixian, who is a literati, regards this as a promise.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Dong Xianglin simply let go and said,

"Uncle Lu, as far as the little nephew knows, Ling Ai has another sweetheart, it is the new chair martial artist of the Yunde Martial Arts Hall, named Yuan Xi, two days ago, the little nephew also helped Ling Ai send a letter to that person. ”

With a "snap", the wine glass fell to the ground,

Lu Yiping glared and said,

"What's that?"
