Volume 2 Funeral Post Chapter 85 Drunken Burren
Nian Nu said with a smile: "The Southern Dynasty is rich in products, and it is watery to raise people, even if you want to be thin, you can't get it." As he spoke, he filled the glasses of the two of them and drank frequently. Unconsciously it was late, everyone was drunk, and after a while, the twilight gradually closed, Mrs. Silver Snake's face was ruddy, her skin was shining, she looked at Nian Nu, and said slowly: "Although you and I are the name of the master and servant, there is really the love of mother and daughter, this goes to the south of the Yangtze River, the mountains are high and the water is long, it will be a long time away, I hope you will succeed and return to the north as soon as possible." When you return, I will be the matchmaker to choose a good son-in-law for you, so that I can teach you to be a lover and rely on you for life, which is also my affection. Nian Nu's delicate face was crimson, her eyes were drunk and shy, she played with the wine glass in her hand, bowed her head and said: "Madame has always treated me kindly, and I insist on accompanying Madame in my life and will not go anywhere." Mrs. Silver Snake smiled: "But what nonsense, when the man is married, the woman is married, how can I keep the reason for my whole life?" Mrs. Silver Snake knew her thoughts, and hurriedly said, "Okay, okay, let's not mention this matter for the time being." Come, you can have a few more drinks with me. The two drank for a while, and it was already the end of the sea and the beginning of the moon outside. Lady Silver Snake said: "Today is over, you go back to rest, and tomorrow you don't have to say goodbye, just go away." Niannu got up and saluted, and said, "Madame is good at cherishing herself, and Niannu will go." Turning to leave, just out of the house, he was suddenly stopped by Mrs. Silver Snake: "Wait a minute." Niannu turned around and stopped, only to see Mrs. Silver Snake pick up a piece of green silk, untie a collar from her neck, stepped forward, put it on for Niannu herself, and said with a smile: "This golden lock collar is my family heirloom, I have worn it on my body since I was a child, and it has been 30 years. Nian Nu smiled shyly, when he looked down, the golden lock was bright and bright, the workmanship was fine, and the lock was engraved with a line of small characters, and the Tao was "the son is home, and it is suitable for his room." She put the golden lock in her collar, saluted to Lady Silversnake, and walked away.
At dawn the next day, Niannu left the Silver Snake Village, accompanied by only a coachman and a carriage, heading south. Only three or five days after she left, one night, the silver snake village sneaked into a masked monk, taking advantage of the night to hide in the dark corners of the gutter, listening to the people in the village gossip and discussion, acting secretly, like a ghost, this monk is not an outsider, it is the monk of the Mokun Temple Protector disciple stepping on the moon. He was ordered by the master to destroy the law to come to the silver snake village to inquire about the treasure of the king of Yue, after listening for two nights, he finally learned that not long ago Nian Nu left the village to go south, he secretly thought that it must be related to the treasure, so he sneaked out of the village, immediately went south, and chased the trace.
He is depressed and introverted, scheming quite deeply, secretly thinking that the slave as a young girl will not show up when she goes out, most of them are in a sedan chair or driving, and thousands of miles away from the south, taking a sedan chair is too time-consuming and labor-intensive, it seems that only driving is the first choice, so calculated, she does not seem to go far, if she chases by fast horse, she can catch up within ten days. After making up his mind, he immediately bought a horse at a nearby market, whipped the horse, and rode south to the dust.
Niannu left the east of the river and went south along the official road, crossing the Yellow River at this time and coming to the boundary of Luoyang, the eastern capital.
Luoyang is a famous town in Zhongzhou, the imperial capital of the former dynasty. At the end of the Han Dynasty, in the first year of the early peace, Dong Zhuo sowed chaos, coerced the Son of Heaven to move the capital to Chang'an, migrated Luoyang's population to millions of people in Guanzhong, burned the palace and temple official mansion, and there was no recovery within 200 miles, and ordered the thieves to excavate the tombs of the emperors and the tombs of the princes, collect treasures, and think that they were for their own use. In the first year of Jian'an, when Emperor Yang Feng and Han Xian returned to Luoyang, the palace was completely destroyed, hundreds of officials were overturned, and between the walls, the former imperial city was already in ruins, a miserable scene. The Han Dynasty died in Wei Li, and Emperor Wen Cao Pi camped in Luoyang, and moved the capital here. In the second year of Wei Xianxi, Sima Yan stood on behalf of Wei Zili, ascended the throne in Luoyang, abolished Wei Emperor Cao Huan as Chen Liuwang, changed Yuan Taishi, was for Emperor Wu of Jin, Emperor Wu passed down the three emperors, a total of 52 years, all set the capital of Luoyang, to the Yuan Emperor Sima Rui to avoid the Wuhu Rebellion, moved the capital to Jiankang, Luoyang became a place again, and the eastern capital was restored to the old capital.
On this day, the wind and the sun are beautiful, the flowers are bright and willowy, Nian Nu took the carriage into Luoyang City, only to see that the market is prosperous, the population is prosperous, but although the people can live in peace, but the color of sadness and bitterness, it is obvious that they have been displaced by troubled times, and the sorrow is greater than the death of the heart, but I wish to live in the world, as long as I live in peace. Nian Nu sat in the car, lifted the curtain and looked, and saw a wine shop on the side of the road, with an apricot yellow wine banner on the willow tree in front of the door, and in the middle was written "Drunken Bolun" three strong characters, the left side was inscribed "Cao Wei Zhiyao", and the right side was inscribed "Zhu Zhu Tig". She chuckled lightly and said to herself: "If the imperial capital is located, ordinary wine shops still have such elegance, let alone everyone in the world, it can be seen how brilliant the past years were." I want to see what kind of wine this restaurant sells, and how it can get drunk with Liu Bolun. The driver stopped, got out of the car, and slowly walked in.
It turned out that this Liu Bolun was Liu Ling, a famous scholar of the former dynasty, and Ji Kang, Ruan Ji, Shantao, Xiang Xiu, Wang Rong and Ruan Xian, because they often drank and sang under the bamboo forest in Shanyang County, and were hearty, and they were known as the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest. Liu Ling tasted the "Ode to Wine Virtue", which has the sentence "If you stop, you will be persistent, and if you move, you will carry the pot, only wine is the business, and you will know the rest". The owner of this wine shop used this sentence and inscribed it on the wine flag, which is also apt and chic.
Seeing that there was a guest coming, the second child of the restaurant hurriedly stepped forward to greet him: "Girl, please, what do you need?" Nian Nu sat down on the edge of an empty table, straightened his temples, and did not look at him, and said: "Since your shop is known as a drunken uncle, it is natural that there is a good wine, and this girl is a little thirsty when passing by here, so I will take out the best wine, and I will taste it." The little two agreed and went. Shao Ke, holding a jar of wine in his hand, walked to the Niannu table, and said with a smile: "The best wine is coming! He put down the wine jar, put on two more snacks, and went to work.
Nian Nu untied the wine seal, poured himself a glass, only felt the rich aroma, rushing to the face, and then looked at the color of the wine, clear and thick, mellow but not turbid, did not feel secretly praised, to be a glass to taste, only to feel that the wine between the lips and teeth is overflowing, the mouth and stomach are sweet, refreshed, and the heart is open.
At this time, I only heard the shopkeeper say to the door: "Guest officer, please come inside." A big man came in, wearing a felt hat and a robe, strode to an empty table with his head down, and said in a deep voice: "Come here for a few plates of snacks, but don't want wine, and then serve a pot of good tea, and you will be repaid in one shot." The little second was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "The guest officer doesn't know, the wine in this store is not any better than ordinary wine, all the guests should cheer after drinking, do you want to taste it?" The big man rolled his eyes angrily and drank: "You little er, you don't know anything! Hugh is long-winded, go and serve tea!" Xiao Er was glared at by him angrily, didn't dare to say anything, and hurriedly turned around.
