Chapter Twenty-Three: The Three-Game Gambling Contract
Fortunately, this time Sima Bai only warned himself that the target of the leaves hit by his fingers was not himself. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info With his deep internal strength, if it hits my body, my body will be directly pierced by the leaves~ Ximenqing touched his heart in fear: Oops! My little liver!
"Dead or not, hurry down if you don't die!" Sima Bai's voice was still cold and cool. Yesterday, Ximen Qing won himself with a trick, and he was very unhappy in his heart, but he saw that he gave himself the antidote of 'sad crisp breeze' and did not ask for it back, and the deep meaning was very clear - in the future, the Great Song Dynasty would no longer be afraid of the 'sad and crisp breeze' of Western Xia. Therefore, the target of the leaves just now was a rockery, and Sima Bai didn't plan to do anything with Ximenqing today.
Ximenqing patted the non-existent dust on his body, flew to the pavilion with light skills, sat firmly, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for a day, have the two brothers missed me?" The ruffian tone, Sima Bai was very disgusted when he heard it, frowned, snorted, and did not answer. Not beating him doesn't mean that the grudge between the two is written off!
Chaoxu was still familiar with it, and hurriedly got up and hugged his fist to Ximen Qing: "Brother Ximen, my master and I have been waiting here for a long time, and as expected, Brother Ximen is still here, I have the best wine that has been treasured for many years here, and I specially used it to drink with Brother Ximen, I don't know if Brother Simon is willing?"
Ximenqing was naturally very happy when he heard this: "Excellent! Excellent! Chaodu can think of drinking in the capital, it's really enough buddy!"
Although he didn't know what 'buddy' meant, Chaoxu didn't ask, and now his task is to taste the wine.
Patting open the mud seal, there is a faint smell of wine, a faint sourness, a faint fruity aroma, it is a fine wine made from a jar of grapes, smell it carefully, and treasure it for at least 20 years.
"Why is there wine here?" said Ximen Qing, his heart full of questions.
"Of course there is, what is there in the Imperial Palace?" Chaoxu said proudly, "This wine comes from the far west, there is a country called Gaochang Uighur, he is north of the Tianshan Mountains, the sun is abundant, the grapes there are very famous, and of course the wine produced is also excellent." ”
Chaoxu poured a full cup for each of the three of them, the cup was a high-legged luminous cup, and it was just right to drink wine. I only heard Chaoxu say: "This wine is thirty years ago, the Uighur envoy of Gaochang came to Bianliang and dedicated it to the first emperor." "The first emperor is Zhao Xu, the emperor of the Song Dynasty, and the current emperor of the Great Song Dynasty is Zhao Xu, Zhezong of the Song Dynasty.
Chaoxu raised his glass: "Come! let's drink this glass of wine!"
Gently close your eyes, feel the mellow liquid leisurely glide over the tip of your tongue, moisten through your throat, slip into your throat, float warmly in your abdomen, slowly wander in your nose, and sneak into your veins...... It is really a rare wine, which is destined to make Ximenqing never forget. She is fragrant and sweet, and she becomes a part of her body gently and softly.
None of the three spoke, carefully savoring the taste of the wine, and for a moment the garden fell silent, except for the chirping of summer insects "buzzing" among the grass.
"It's really the best in wine!" After a long time, Ximen Qing came back to his senses and exclaimed!
"I'm not wrong, right?" Chaoxu was very proud and said, "But there is only one jar of this wine in the palace." ”
"It's a pity!" Ximenqing said regretfully, and then a little worried, "I don't know if you drink this wine secretly, and the emperor will know about it in the future, will you lose your head?"
Sima Bai lowered his head and couldn't hold back his laughter, Chao Xu snorted embarrassedly: "It's okay, the emperor has so many wines, how can he remember all the treasured wines one by one~" Ximen Qing thought about it, and it was the same, so he didn't care about it anymore and continued to taste the best wine that is rare in his life.
Three rounds of drinking. Sima Bai finally spoke: "I'll give this back to you." He casually threw something at Ximenqing. Ximenqing caught it, but it was a small porcelain bottle, which was the antidote to Sima Bai and Chaoxu yesterday's 'sad crisp and refreshing breeze'. Ximenqing laughed, and threw this thing back to Sima Bai: "It's useless for me to keep this thing, it stinks, since I gave it to you yesterday, I don't plan to take it back." ”
"Bang!", startled Ximen Qing. But it was Chao Xu who patted the stone table angrily, looking at his expression, it was as if he was drowning, unhappy, very unhappy.
Ximen Qing didn't know why, and asked Chaoxu, "Little brother, what's wrong?"
"He made a bet with me that he lost two out of three games. Sima Bai said coolly. This is the third thing he has said since he met Ximenqing tonight, whether this is a treasure of words like gold, or pretending to be deep, Ximenqing secretly despised him in his heart.
"Can you elaborate on your gambling contract, I'm also very interested!" Seeing that Sima Bai didn't mean to explain, Ximen Qing didn't dump him, and turned his head to ask Chaoxu.
Chaoxu took a sip of wine and said, "My master and I are drinking here, and we are very bored, so we made a bet." He got up and circled the stone table for half a circle, and came to Ximenqing's side: "The content of the gambling contract is you!"
"Me?" Ximen Qing looked at him puzzled.
