Chapter 10: The Banquet
The two hurriedly returned the salute and exchanged names and surnames.
Xu Xian secretly admired the precociousness of the ancients, this Pan Yu looks like he is only sixteen or seventeen years old, and he is still an ignorant high school student in modern times, but looking at Pan Yu's speech and demeanor, he already has a lot of demeanor, although he only gets along for a moment, he has a feeling like a spring breeze. Coupled with his handsome and uncast appearance, people can't help but think of the words "gentleman like jade".
Pan Yu talked and laughed freely, although the target was Xu Xian, he would never make Wang An feel the slightest cold. He also secretly looked at Xu Xian, if his appearance was just average, but his eyes were clear and scorching, with a frank aura, which was rare among these scholars......
And he always felt that Xu Xian's demeanor had a different temperament, but he couldn't say it specifically. Pan Yu didn't know that the soul of modern people naturally carries the habits of modern people, the shrugging of shoulders when they are helpless, the way of choosing words and sentences, and even a bit of Western-style humor. All of them made him a little outstanding.
The so-called temperament is the comprehensive sense that these little things gather to give people, if a person is dressed in tatters, sitting motionless on the side of the road, and there are people who can see something remarkable from his "deep eyes", that is the great joke of the world.
"In the future, everyone will be classmates, and now I want to invite everyone to get together, I don't know if the two of you are willing to appreciate your face?"
"Then thank you Brother Pan, I've been hungry for a long time. Xu Xian grinned. Now he's feeling like he's in school, it's normal to have dinner or something.
Pan Yu was stunned for a moment, he had to say something polite at this time, but he didn't expect Xu Xian to be so direct, and said with a smile: "Brother Xu is happy, I'll invite you to see who else goes." To be honest, I'm a little hungry too. ”
Wang An blushed a little beside him, and Pan Yu complained again after leaving.
Xu Xian said unceremoniously: "If you have food, you can eat, what are so many words!"
Wang An sighed again and again, but he was helpless to take Xu Xian, and now he has forgotten all about the mistakes and omissions in the exam just now.
The Hajj Academy is not far from the West Lake, and on the Moon Tower by the lake, everyone has sat down. The banquet had already been booked, and after a while, the kung fu table was full of dishes.
Xu Xian's stomach can't bear to hold back the gluttony, although there are also poor people here, but Xu Xian was originally a modern person, although his family background is average, but it is normal to eat some meat in the next restaurant. Since the crossing, there is such a sister who supports the family, and it is good to be able to eat, if there is any dislike, Xu Xian himself feels that it is not a human thing, so he not only wants to eat, but also eats very happily. It's just that this kind of talk is really difficult. Xu Xian looked back on the past, turned his grief into food, sandwiched a chicken leg fiercely, ate it in a big gulp, and swore that he would eat chicken legs in the future.
Everyone else is talking about the vast future, the national economy and people's livelihood. Xu Xianwu fought with chicken legs and made a great desire to study in order to eat chicken legs. Fortunately, there are many people, and everyone only cares about expressing their own opinions, and does not pay much attention to others.
Only Pan Yu spilled a look from time to time, feeling amused. He's seen crazy people who don't care about the eyes of others, but it's the first time he's seen such a crazy law. After a while, even he secretly doubted that this chicken leg was really so delicious, and he also tasted it, but it still felt like the original taste.
With so many people, naturally they can't sit and eat, and it is impossible for a scholar to guess boxing like a marketman, so someone proposed to chant poetry and gamble on wine, and everyone responded.
Pan Yu was the first to do the east, he was not polite, he stood up generously, his already handsome appearance, his face was flushed after drinking, like a white dye, like a person in a painting. Before the poetry was recited, everyone was moved by his abundance, and after chanting, it attracted full applause. Even Xu Xian stopped and shouted hello in his busy schedule.
It was Xu Xian's turn to compose a poem, but he smiled and put down the chopsticks in his hand, he didn't want to think about it, others thought he was confident, but he didn't expect Xu Xian to pick up the wine glass and pour himself three glasses. Then he said to the side but Wang An: "It's your turn." ”
Everyone is overwhelmed, and at this time they have to say something like a scene like a poor literary thought, but this one was unceremonious, and picked up the chopsticks again.
So he drank like this, Xu Xianjiu was dry when he came, whether it was filling in words or doing things, he didn't mix it, he just ate and drank there.
In ancient times, it was limited to sake brewing technology, and the taste of sake was very light. And it's a small cup, so Xu Xian doesn't care, but the light wine cup is sometimes more intoxicating. By the time the banquet was over, he was already half-drunk and half-awake.
Everyone staggered, but when they returned to the Hajj Academy, the academy had already arranged a house. No matter whether the student is rich or poor, they all live in the same place. Two people in the same room, Pan Yu and Xu Xian are in the same room.
Wang An, who was supposed to be a fellow villager, slept with Xu Xian, but now it has become two people sleeping together, this is the arrangement of the elders. I only hope that the two can become friends and support each other in their careers in the future.
The incense burner is small, the screen carved bed, and the room is furnished but also elegant.
Pan Yu and Xu Xian walked into the room with each other, and Xu Xian fell on the bed and let out a slight snort.
Pan Yu's originally confused eyes immediately became clear, took out a red jade leaf from his mouth, poured a cup of tea, and put the jade leaf in the tea, and after a while, the leaf changed color, and the tea exuded a smell of wine. Pan Yu took out the white jade leaf and put it back in his arms.
"Brother Pan, what is this?" Pan Yu was startled by a question, and the jade leaf in his hand almost fell to the ground. He was supposed to be lying on the bed and sleeping soundly, but Xu Xian looked at him like no one else, his eyes burning, how could he be half drunk. Pan Yu's heart sank, and he said in his heart, did he see the wrong person, this Xu Xian turned out to be a person with such a deep city?
Where does Xu Xian have any city government, but the Taoist mental method he practiced, no matter how drunk he was, there was always a little spiritual light that would not be extinguished, and he would sober up extraordinarily quickly.
Xu Xian stretched his waist and said, "Oh, I'm so thirsty!" walked over and picked up the cup of tea on the table and drank it. Pan Yu didn't have time to stop it, so he could only sigh, only to see that Xu Xian had regained his clarity, but his eyes suddenly became intoxicated again.
That jade leaf is a spiritual object carved from drunken jade, drunken jade is a wine road in the way of people hard to find but god jade, as long as the jade is placed in the wine, after a while the jade turns red, as if drunk. And the original liquor becomes light and tasteless like water, so that even brewing several jars of bad wine, the jade has been red as drunk, then the jade is immersed in clear water, and so the jade turns white, and the water will become a fine wine.
Pan Yu carved leaves with this kind of beautiful jade and put it in his mouth, so he naturally did not get drunk with a thousand cups. It's just that if those drunkards knew that such an artifact was used to do such a bad thing, they wouldn't know how to hold their wrists!
That little glass of water was soaked in drunken jade, and it was no different from the strongest wine. Xu Xian poured it down, even if he practiced any Taoism, it would not be useful. He shook twice in place and collapsed on the bed again. He muttered, "Good wine, good wine." ”
Pan Yu looked at Xu Xianzhen on the bed and didn't know how to evaluate it, was it scheming or scheming?
Pan Yu looked at the unconscious appearance of Xu Xian, and sighed slightly: "It's good to be free and open, but it's just that you're drunk and drunk, and it's not in line with the way of sages after all." ”
Xu Xian heard Pan Yu's discussion in a trance, but thought it was a joke from his college roommate, and couldn't help but groan: "
If the sky does not love wine, the wine star is not in the sky.
If the earth does not love wine, there shall be no fountain of wine on the earth.
Heaven and earth love wine, and love wine is worthy of heaven.
I have heard that it is more than a saint, and it is as virtuous as a sage.
Since the sages have already drunk, why bother to ask the gods.
Three cups lead to the avenue, and one bucket is natural.
But if you have fun in wine, don't pass it on to the awake. ”
This poem of Li Bai's solitary drink under the moon was often on his lips in his previous life, specially used to relieve ridicule after getting drunk, although he is drunk today, but the recitation is still very smooth.
Pan Yu couldn't help but be stunned, he thought that Xu Xian was not good at reciting poems, but he didn't expect that he would casually chant such good poems when he was drunk. The simple and clear verses may be understood even by illiterate people, but the taste of heroic and free play in the world is something he can't recite no matter what.
Pan Yu said secretly: Such a poet, no wonder he was favored by Wang Xuezheng. After reciting the poem a few more times, he was even more amazed in his heart, and then he saw that Xu Xian had already snored slightly.
But if you have fun in wine, don't pass it on to the awake. But I don't dare to get drunk, and I can't get drunk!
Between the fighting rooms, I don't know whose sigh it was, so melancholy.
