Chapter Thirty-Eight: Isn't Grandpa's Old Friendliness a Bit Much?
The pure moonlight shone on the ground like flowing water, and covered the trees and grass of the wilderness with a veil of silver.
In the silent woods, there are night owls cooing and wailing,
From time to time, all kinds of strange sounds were heard in the wind.
Pu Tao held the torch and walked slowly, his head looking straight ahead, not daring to twist the angle at all, for fear of seeing something he shouldn't see.
He bypassed a bay, stepped on a beam, and suddenly found an official road in front of him,
At this moment, the torch in his hand burned out, but fortunately, the moonlight was bright enough to illuminate the road under his feet.
Pu Tao walked slowly, whistling and courageous, still feeling vaguely urinated,
He remembers saying that the more scared you are, the more things you are afraid will appear.
Fortunately, the queen bee detoxification wine is very effective, and everything is developing in a good direction.
After walking for a few miles, I suddenly saw a pavilion on the side of the road, and seven or eight people were in the pavilion, drinking and having fun by the moonlight, talking and laughing.
Pu Tao said in his heart: "It turns out that the nightlife of the ancients was so rich! Drinking and admiring the moon is such an elegant thing!"
Seeing Pu Tao coming, someone greeted: "It just so happens that there is still a position, would you like to move over and have a few drinks?"
Drinking is a joyful thing,
Especially for Pu Tao, in addition to his own fine wines, the rest of the fine wines can be supplemented to increase the number of wines, and many good wines can even make his wine strong and pure, and enhance the quality.
Hearing that there was wine, Pu Tao couldn't move a little, thinking that it was not far from the village, so he might as well drink two glasses.
He was invited to walk into the pavilion and found that most of the people present were wearing the square headscarves that his grandfather often bred, dressed as scholars.
Pu Tao saluted and said: "Disturb everyone with a glass of water and wine, and hurry home!"
A scholar with three strands of beard said, "Are you really pedantic, you don't appreciate the beautiful bright moon, but you are in a hurry to go home?
Pu Tao thought of Shu Wan'er, and was in a trance, as if the bright moon in front of him was indeed much cuter than her.
The scholar handed over a glass of wine, Pu Tao drank it all, only to feel that the mouth was sweet and spicy, it was actually a very rare high wine, he praised it repeatedly: "Good wine!"
Naturally, someone next to him refilled the wine, Pu Tao was thirsty, and drank more than ten glasses one after another.
Everyone praised: "Good amount of wine! enough for friends." ”
Someone boasted: "This is the ancient method of brewing Du Kang wine, not many have been handed down, I also found it in a cave, it is said that you can get drunk for three days after drinking a glass!
Pu Tao secretly sensed, and the wine in his body was tumbling, and he really benefited a lot.
Turning his head, he found that he had really drunk a jar of wine, and there was very little left around him, which could not let everyone watch the moonlight with empty mouths and white teeth.
The scholar with three wisps of beard was afraid that he would be embarrassed, and said: "This wine is too old, and there is not much left! This scholar has drunk most of it, and it is nothing! What is rare is that he is not drunk, and it is really a member of my generation!"
Pu Tao said with some embarrassment: "Thank you to a few brothers for not sparing fine wine, let me quench my thirst, in order to express my gratitude, I also have good wine here, please borrow a wine jar to use!"
Someone took an empty jar, Pu Tao took out the wine gourd, poured the wine in the gourd into the jar, secretly urged the wine, and the wine was fragrant for a while.
When the gourd was empty, the jar was half full.
Pu Tao filled it for everyone present, and there was not much left in the jar, and he smiled: "Please also taste it!"
These people are not as refreshing as Pu Tao when they drink, so they first raised their glasses to the tip of their noses and sniffed carefully for a while, then raised their heads to toast and praised together: "It's really good wine, but it's a pity that it's too little!"
The wine in Pu Tao's gourd is unusual, it is the detoxification holy product queen bee wine, which contains the essence of the body of the red bee demon king, after these people drank it, they suddenly felt that their bodies were condensed, and under the moonlight, there were some shadows.
The scholar with three strands of beard was the first to feel the change, and was pleasantly surprised: "Good wine!
Pu Tao poured all the residual wine in the jar to him.
The rest of the people also discovered this benefit, and they all accused: "Lao Liu is not righteous!
Lao Liu retorted with a smile: "This is not only good wine, it is simply an extra life! If you don't rob it, you are a fool!"
Seeing that everyone was noisy, he almost turned against himself for his drink,
Pu Tao hurriedly persuaded: "The wine in the gourd has been drunk, but in fact, I still have the ability to turn water into wine, if you are not happy, you can take some mountain spring water to try!"
When these people heard this, they did not believe,
A good deed man lifted up the empty jar of wine, went into the woods, and after a moment brought a jar of clear water.
Pu Tao dipped his fingers in the water, waved his hand to invite the moon, and said in his mouth: "Fairy Chang'e has a spirit, please borrow the wine of the Moon Palace!"
The aroma of wine enters the water, and after a while, the wine jar emits the aroma of wine.
Pu Tao added wine to everyone and persuaded: "Please try it!"
Everyone then raised their glasses, and the clear water really turned into fine wine, and this wine was clear, containing the fragrance of hundred fruits, and the taste was sweet and pure, which was very different from what they usually drink, and had a different taste.
Everyone praised and then drank a few glasses together.
The three-wisp bearded scholar Liu sighed: "Good wine, it is not like a good wine in the world, but a fine wine in the fairy palace! It's a pity that the young lady didn't come, so she can't taste such a fine wine!"
Everyone laughed and said: "What's the matter, why don't we make an appointment for a full moon next month, and invite this little brother to join the young lady!"
Everyone said yes, set a date, and then had a drink.
Someone asked, "Little brother, after drinking your wine, I'm afraid I won't be able to drink other people's wine again!
Pu Tao said with a smile: "This is a fine wine made by my grandfather with the immortal method, called Liuxian Wine!"
"Stay immortal wine? I didn't expect that I would also be an immortal once, good wine, it really lives up to its name!"
A man with a beard frowned, and asked, "Could it be the Pu family's remaining immortals?"
Pu Tao was stunned for a moment, and arched his hand and asked, "It's the ancestor, do you know each other?"
"Who am I, it turned out to be Pu Songling's descendant, my surname is Sun Minghui, I am Songling's friend, everyone here is your grandfather's old friend!
"Sun Hui?" Pu Tao had never heard of this person's name, but he still respectfully shouted, "Uncle Ancestor!"
The man was extremely happy and said with a smile: "I didn't expect to meet the younger generation of the Pu family, Song Ling is only eight years old, I don't know why you sell wine for a living?"
Pu Tao said embarrassedly: "My grandfather died, and my family was in the middle of the road, so I had to rely on this craft to make some money!"
Sun Hui frowned, "Good boy, your grandfather's science field is not going well, and he has failed many times, you don't want to forget his expectations because of his wine-making skills, you still have to take a meritorious test, so that he can be happy under Jiuquan and be proud of you!"
Pu Tao said embarrassedly: "But I have never experienced a scientific expedition, so I don't have much confidence!"
"With your talent, you only need to study hard behind closed doors, and you can be lifted sooner or later, don't lose a big one because of a small one!"
Sun Hui taught earnestly and bitterly.
Liu Shusheng and the others teased: "Don't talk about these things that you don't have, even if you pass the test, what can you do? In this world, the officialdom is dark, and you don't have to do things with your conscience?
Sun Hui was silent, and everyone's faces were uncertain.
Scientific examination is a means for the imperial court to select talents, but after all, a few families are happy and a few are worried! This kind of thing is known to oneself.
