Volume 1 Wisdom Fighting the Capital Chapter 32, Fenyang Famous Wine
Xiao Yan was suddenly hugged by Xu Wuxi's shoulder, and couldn't help blushing his cheeks, fortunately his face was full of yellow scars and red acne, and he couldn't see the expression on his face clearly. Xiao Yan wanted to break free, but firstly, he had great strength to be sick, and the two were already sitting very close to each other in the ox cart, and he couldn't break free for a while......
Wuxian asked, "Which young master of the Murong family are you serving?"
Xiao Yan was stunned for a moment, and then blurted out: "That's it...... That Murong Ji ......"
Wu said without illness: "Sure enough, it's this handsome young man! Does he often bully you, insult you, and even beat you?"
Xiao Yan wanted to laugh in his heart, but he couldn't help himself, and couldn't help nodding and said, "Yes! Yes......"
Wuzhi thought in his heart: "Little brother, don't worry, I have avenged your revenge!" But when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed it himself, thinking that if that Murong Gongzi really died, this would be a "shocking case"......!
Wu Zhi asked Xiao Yan some more questions, such as where his hometown is, and whether his parents and relatives still have any news at home, etc., Xiao Yan squeaked and whined, or casually perfunctory, or talked about him left and right, but asked about the situation of no illness.
Seeing that Xiao Yan was reluctant to mention his hometown and parents, he didn't want to evoke the sad past, so he didn't ask more, so he just told Xiao Yan about how he drove from Hangzhou Mansion to the capital, and what he saw and encountered in the capital. talked about his imprisonment in Tsing Yiwei, although he only spoke a few words, but Xiao Yan opened his mouth wide and exclaimed:
"Oh my God! Tsing Yi Wei is so terrible! Then I will never enter that hellish place in the future!"
......
The two of them talked and laughed along the way, Xu Wuxian told Xiao Yan about all kinds of interesting things he experienced when he was a child, the beauty of the West Lake in Hangzhou Mansion in the south of the Yangtze River, as well as all the customs and customs in the south, folk snacks, etc., only to hear Xiao Yan leisurely, eager to give birth to wings, and immediately followed Xu Wuxian to the place where the grass and warblers flew in the south of the Yangtze River......
Although Xu Wuxian was only acquainted with Xiao Yan for the first time, for some reason, he had an inexplicable sense of closeness to him in his heart, which was very different from that Zhu Wuneng and Qin Gufeng, who were like-minded with Qin Gufeng, sympathetic and pitiful with Zhu Wuneng, and Xiao Yan...... But why?
In the eyes of the disease-free, the "Xiao Yan" had a dark face, a collapsed nose, small eyes, nostrils facing the sky, crooked eyebrows, and even more, that face was covered with all kinds of yellow spots and red pox, some of which seemed to be bleeding pus...... It makes people feel extremely disgusted at first sight, and they have never seen such an ugly face since they were children......
"But why do I still like to be close to this young man so much?" Wu Xian secretly thought in his heart, "Yes, it must be this smell on his body...... "Although the young man Xiao Yan has an ugly appearance, the faint fragrance emanating from his body seems to be familiar with Wu Xian, which makes him feel a special sense of closeness. Xu Wuzhi was not good at words, but along the way, he didn't stop talking, and talked to Xiao Yan about countless childhood anecdotes......
In fact, when I was a disease-free child, apart from being lonely and humiliated, what "interesting things" were there? !
......
Before they knew it, the ox cart had arrived at Changle Fang, and the two got out of the car and walked into the Yunqi Inn. Wuxian and Xiao Yan said with a smile as they walked:
"Brother Xian, wait a minute, Brother Fool wants you to know another brother......"
The two entered the disease-free room, but saw that the room was empty, and there was no half of it, and Zhu Wuneng had disappeared......
Wu Zhi felt strange in his heart, so he went to ask the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper said: "That fat man Gu Zi left, and before leaving, he asked the little one to bring a word, saying that the prince didn't have to wait for him to ...... anymore."
Wuzhi asked, "When is he leaving, and how many days is he going out?"
The shopkeeper said: "They left the store at noon, as for how many days they are going to go, the little one didn't ask, but they didn't know ......."
Wuxian asked again, "Is anyone else with him?"
The shopkeeper said: "There is another person next to the fat man, but the small one has not been looked at, and I see that he looks very peculiar......"
Disease-free said: "Where is the strange?"
The shopkeeper said: "With all due respect, the man is very short, his back is very hunched, his head is small, his hands are short, and his back seems to be carrying a big thing, looking at it from a distance, I thought it was a 'turtle'......" After speaking, the shopkeeper laughed to himself.
After thinking about it a little, I knew that this person must be the "boss". He secretly thought in his heart, that night my second brother fought with the "Eight Monarchs of Shuifu", saying that he wanted to meet a "third princess". Now, the boss has finally come to take away the second brother, so the second brother must have been invited by the "third princess...... Thinking of that night, Zhu Wuneng squatted on the ground, and couldn't help but muttering about the poignant scene of the "Three Princesses", and said in his heart that this living "Tiancang" or the "Three Princesses" had an unfinished relationship, so it would be good for them to get together.
Wuxian secretly sighed: "According to what the Immortal Gong of Suzhou City said, my second brother's predecessor was the Marshal of Tianpeng in the upper realm, but in this life, why should he follow me to suffer this crime......?!
Xu Wuxian said goodbye to his second brother Zhu Wucan, both relieved and inexplicably sad. Seeing this, Xiao Yan hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Brother no disease, what's wrong?Where did that brother go? Why don't we go to ?......him tomorrow?"
Xu Wuxi held back his tears and said with a smile: "My second brother went to a better place, in the future, you and I may never see him again......"
......
At this time, it was already the right time, and Chang'an City had gradually fallen into a dark night. After being busy for a long time, he was already hungry in his stomach, so he ordered the shopkeeper to prepare wine and food. Tonight, he wants to have another big meal with Brother Xiao Yan and drink hard......
Xu Wuzhi ordered the shopkeeper to send a jar of good wine, and good dishes should be delivered. In addition to serving a table of sumptuous dishes, the shopkeeper heard that he was not sick and drunk, so he gave him a small jar of "Fenyang drunk" that had been treasured in the store for ten years.
Disease-free likes to drink, seeing that ten years of "Fenyang drunk", the water quality is clear, the smell is strong, and the wine is fragrant, I suddenly became interested, raised the wine in the cup, and drank with Xiao Yanhao......
He only felt that life was too short, and instead of lamenting that the years were fleeting, it was better to get drunk tonight.
This night, I was happy and worried in my heart, happy that I had a new acquaintance with Xiao Yan's brother, and worried that Zhu Wuneng was gone, and I don't know when we would be able to meet again......
Xiao Yan was overwhelmed by alcohol, just drank a few glasses, and he already felt a little dizzy, he saw that he couldn't drink the left cup and the right cup without illness, so he hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop the wineglass without illness, and persuaded: "Brother Disease-free, this 'Fenyang drunk' wine is violent, you drink like this, don't hurt your body......"
Wuxian raised his hand and pushed Xiao Yan away, poured a large glass of wine, raised his neck and drank it all, and while drinking, he read aloud in his mouth:
"I should be twenty unwilling!
I poured another cup without illness, drank it all, and my mouth was still endless:
"Qiting dismounts to untie autumn clothes, please take a pot of wine from Fenyang. ”
......
The ancient drinkers would rather suffer from the cold of the autumn wind, but also pledge the right to a piece of clothing in exchange for that pot of good wine. The people of this world, but they draw on fame and wealth, for a little petty profit, they have become relatives during the day, and they can't sleep at night, and they have worked hard for half a lifetime, turning into dust, so wasted, and they are also sad!
On this night, Xu Wuxian drank up a jar of Fenyang famous wine, and he was so drunk that he lay on the wine table and fell asleep......
Xiao Yan was slightly blocked at the beginning, but later, when he saw that he was full of sorrow, he seemed to want to borrow this cup of Chinese wine, and as soon as he poured a block, he no longer persuaded him, and only ordered the store to change the pot of tea with him. He used tea as wine, accompanied him without illness, and drank bitterly all night until he was drunk without illness......
Seeing that Wuxian was already drunk, Xiao Yan helped Wusick up and sent him back to the room. Xu Wuxian was drunk and heavy, Xiao Yan's delicate hands were soft and weak, and he tossed for a long time before he put Wuxian on the bed and watched him fall asleep......
Xiao Yan asked the shopkeeper for another room, and when he returned to his room, it was already the right time, and he was exhausted, so he lay down with his clothes without waiting to wash and change clothes......
"Xiao Yan" lay on the bed, but she tossed and turned, and couldn't sleep anyway, and in her mind, she couldn't help but think of the conversation between her father and her yesterday:
"When you were born, Xu Blind told you your fate, saying that you have the life of a princess in this life. Now, Li Ci, the king of Jin, wants to welcome you as a princess, isn't this your destiny, why don't you agree?!"
"Father, the child just doesn't want to be that princess!"
"Why the hell?!"
"Father, don't you hear that 'once you enter the Houmen, it is as deep as the sea'? The child does not want to marry into the palace, and this body is like a bird in a cage, and he cannot be free in his life......
"As the eighth prince and the prince of Wuzhu, King Jin values you so much, and he also invited the emperor to the title of 'Yuan Concubine' with you. If you marry the King of Jin, you are the lord of the palace inside, and your father supports you outside, who else can bully you in the whole world?!
"Father, the child just doesn't want to! What do I have to do with that...... What King of Jin, I have never even seen him, how do I know what kind of person he is?"
"Xiao Yan, for your father's daughter, you are the meat of your father's heart! If your husband's character is not good, how can you rest assured that your father! Then the king of Jin is well-behaved and modest, and he is a well-known 'virtuous king' in the court! As for his appearance...... Don't worry, my father has seen it, he looks like a jade tree, noble and elegant, and he is the most handsome among the princes, not much worse than Pan An and Song Yu!"
"Father, the child heard that he is not young, and the previous concubine has just passed away......"
"Hehe! He is six years old in Chinese New Year's Eve, and he is slightly older, but between husband and wife, this age is a common thing. His wife died of illness last year, and the emperor has urged him to marry another one many times, although you are a step-concubine when you enter the palace, you are the lord of the mansion after all......"
"This person is a lot older, and his wife has just died and he has to take on a new love, such a person, I won't marry! I won't marry! I just won't marry!"
"Xiao Yan, you're not...... What nonsense!"
......
It turned out that it was none other than Murong Yan, the eldest lady of the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion, who escaped from the wall of Murong Mansion, and that father was naturally Murong Yuanshan, the head of the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion. Murong Yuanshan has three sons, but his daughter is just such a daughter, and she is very fond of Murong Yan.
Li Ci, the king of the Jin Dynasty, heard about Murong Yan's beauty from somewhere, so he sent someone to Tianbao Pavilion to propose marriage, and originally wanted to accept Murong Yan as a side room, but he was immediately rejected. Murong Yuanshan said on the spot that if his daughter wants to marry, she must be married by the other party......
Murong Yuanshan originally thought that the other party would know the difficulties and retreated, he only had this baby daughter, he loved her like a pearl in his palm, and he really didn't want her to enter the palace and be burdened by all kinds of rules.
No, the King of Jin did not hesitate to disobey the current saint, and insisted on asking the emperor to marry Murong Yan as the concubine of the King of Jin. Li Xi, the king of Jin, even went to the Murong Mansion of Tianbao Pavilion and proposed to Murong Yuanshan. At this time, Murong Yuanshan had no reason to refuse, so he had to readily agree......
In Murong Yuanshan's chest, he also has some calculations, first, the King of Jin is deeply favored by the emperor, he is talented and knowledgeable, both civil and military, the government and the opposition, and his virtuous name is widely spread, and the industry of his Tianbao Pavilion has been passed to Murong Yuanshan, which is already like the sky, if he can climb the marriage of King Jin again, wouldn't it be like a tiger with wings? ! Moreover, if you think about it further, the current prince is not loved by the emperor, and it is a matter of time before the prince is deposed, if the king of Jin can take a step forward, be made the crown prince, and ascend the throne in the future, then the prestige of his Murong family is not only unmatched in the rivers and lakes, but even above the temple, it can also shock the world......
Unexpectedly, everything is in place, the two families are already discussing the wedding period, but at this time, her daughter Murong Yan jumped out to oppose it...... Seeing that the persuasion was ineffective, Murong Yuanshan was angry, so he put Murong Yan under house arrest and ordered the whole mansion not to allow her to take a step out of the mansion......
Murong Yan was locked up in the boudoir, and her heart was extremely anxious, but fortunately, her personal maid Chunchun helped her secretly put on makeup and made her dress up as a manmaid.
On the third day of October, the first courtyard of Tianbao Pavilion convened the "Tianbao Pavilion Bo Appraisal Conference", and the entourage in the house was mostly busy in the front yard. The two girls, taking advantage of the fact that there was no one in the backyard, quietly came to the big banyan tree. Chunchun stole a ladder and helped Murong Yan climb over the wall, climb the tree, and then descend from the branch on the outside of the wall...... Chunchun watched the figure of his young lady disappear outside the wall, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly lifted the ladder and put it back in its place......
......
"Hey, Chunchun doesn't know what to do now? I want her to run away with me, and she said that with her in the house, no one else will be suspicious, so that I can escape far away...... She said that the master would not embarrass her, so I was reassured...... How can I let go?...... I hope my father doesn't blame her!" Murong Yan lay on the bed, sighing to herself in her heart......
"I don't want to marry a princess, why does my father force me like this?! What I don't want to do in this life, I don't want to die...... Father, father, the child knows that you are for my good, but you don't know your daughter's thoughts at all......" Murong Yan turned over on the bed, and her thoughts fluctuated in her heart......
"Now, although I have escaped, there is no road ahead, where should I go tomorrow...... Hey, it's good to have the second brother here...... Hey, let's talk about tomorrow!"
Murong Yan hurt herself and felt sorry for herself, tossing and turning for a long time, until the next day, when she was ugly, she fell asleep......
In her sleep, she was still in the Murong Mansion, she followed the ladder, climbed to the old banyan tree, and came down the branches, and suddenly, the old tree ...... He came to life, and grimaced at himself, and he stretched out two huge branches and clamped his strands tightly...... She was in mid-air, her body clamped by the branches, unable to move, and she was extremely uncomfortable...... At this time, I saw a dignified boy walking under the tree, it was Xu Wuxian...... She shouted: "Brother without disease, come and save me! Brother without disease, come and save me!" But Xu Wuzhi under the tree seemed to be deaf to him, Gu Zi strode forward, she became more and more anxious, more and more desperately called, kept calling, Xu Wuxi still did not look back, only took care of himself, like a gust of wind, going farther and farther......
