Chapter 40: Drink Alone
"If you want to say that this apricot blossom old wine is still the most fragrant and soft in our northwest Fenyang!" Song Yu said proudly when he heard that Liu Gongzi loved Xinghua Village alone. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"Northwest Xinghua Lao Baifen wine is famous, but there are very few people in the world who understand it, and most of them are vassals and elegant. That Liu Gongzi shook his head and said.
"Oh, why did Liu Gongzi say this?" Song Yu heard that this Liu Gongzi seemed to have a lot of research on wine, and asked him curiously, completely forgetting the embarrassment just now.
"All things are gone, only wine and poetry remain! Our Xinghua Village in Anhui Province drinks with feelings! Ten miles of apricot blossoms are fragrant, and the literati and scholars sell wine. Liu Gongzi looked into the distance through the window, and there seemed to be a thousand melancholy in his eyes.
"It seems that Liu Gongzi is also a man of temperament, Lanling wine tulips, jade bowls with amber light. Presumably you also have good Lanling wine here!Xiao Er, bring me a catty!" Song Yu also protested against the wine worm in his belly.
"Okay! a jar of Lanling wine!" the shopkeeper shouted and ran over with broken steps.
"Guest, your wine is here. The shopkeeper held a tray, put down a jar of Lanling wine, and put down two jade bowls.
"The Xifeng Rain Inn is really extraordinary, and even the jade bowl is ready. Song Yu was secretly surprised, not knowing how big the background of this West Wind and Rain Inn was.
"Please!" Song Yu had a good impression of this Liu Gongzi, and poured him a glass of Lanling wine.
"Haha...... Northerners prefer southern wine, and southern people are paranoid and rainy. Childe, please!" Liu Gongzi laughed and drank it all.
"Good wine! Lanling is fierce, the apricot blossoms are soft, and drinking together has a unique flavor. Liu Gongzi said slowly while drinking.
"I also drink countless drinks on weekdays, but I have never met a confidant like Childe who can taste wine, I respect you. Song Yu picked up a glass of wine and held it high.
"A pot of wine among the flowers, drinking alone without a blind date. Life is in the world, and the rest of life is bleak. Liu Gongzi didn't look at Song Yu either, although he drank by himself, Song Yu's raised wine glass had nowhere to fall for a while, so he had to drink it himself.
"Dare to ask Gongzi's name, why is he so self-pitying?" Although Song Yu couldn't get used to Liu Gongzi's arrogant attitude of being lonely and self-appreciative, this person seemed to have a special story that attracted Song Yu.
"The lonely surname is Liuzi, the name is Zifeng, but it is a drop in the ocean, what is a big name or not a big name, and the surname is not respected. Liu Gongzi waved his hand, and there was already a little drunkness in his eyes.
"Liu Zifeng! As his name suggests, little brother Song Yu, I am willing to make you a friend!" Song Yu raised his wine glass and wanted to drink with Liu Zifeng again.
"Song Yu, your name is good! You gave me a piece of jade when you first met me, do you give jade to everyone you meet?" Liu Zifeng can't drink too much wine, but he prefers to drink it, and every time he drinks, he will get drunk, and now he talked about drunkenness again.
"The little brother is the Song of the treasure word!" Song Yu heard that Liu Zifeng had already started to talk nonsense, and did not forget to bow his head and explain.
"Good name!" Liu Zifeng actually fell asleep on the table after speaking.
"This ...... The amount of alcohol is too unbearable, right?" Song Yu looked dazed, he just started drinking, and the person in front of him was actually drunk, it stands to reason that this person is so particular about drinking, how much should be a little bit, how do you know that this is the situation.
"Xiao Er, send this son back to rest!" Song Yu beckoned Xiao Er to come over, watching Liu Zifeng fall asleep, looking like he was not happy.
"Presumably this son hasn't drunk yet, right?" A breathy voice sounded, Song Yu looked up and saw that it was a middle-aged man, his hair was combed neatly, a white jade hairpin on his head was simple and solemn, and his face was angular.
"Oh, who are you?" Song Yu's face was full of doubts, do people in this capital like to talk to strangers?
"I just listened to Childe's words, it seems that I have a soft spot for wine, and it just so happens that contemptible people also love to make drinking friends, especially someone like Childe who understands wine. The middle-aged man was smiling and enthusiastic.
"I'm not as good as you say, it's just a hobby. Song Yu heard that people praised themselves all over the sky, and they were already fluttering.
"There is a jar of hundred-year-old apricot blossoms under the contemptible house, is the son willing to go with him?" the middle-aged man raised his eyebrows slightly as he spoke.
"A hundred years of apricot blossoms, this matter is hard to find, meeting is fate, sir, please!" Song Yu heard that someone invited him to share the wine, and his heart blossomed.
"Childe, please!"
Song Yu left the wine money and the middle-aged man left.
Song Yu discussed all kinds of famous wines and tasting methods with the middle-aged man along the way, and unconsciously stayed away from the hustle and bustle of the city and walked to a manor.
The manor is secluded, remote but graceful, and when you go inside, you can see an old farmer pruning flowers and plants, and the rest of the people don't see it.
"Childe, please!" The middle-aged man invited Song Yu into a study, where all kinds of ancient books were filled with books, it can be seen that the owner here is a literati, Song Yu naturally doesn't like books very much, he is waiting for the hundred-year-old apricot blossoms!
"Dare to ask sir, ...... this wine" Song Yu stopped talking when he saw that gentleman entered the house, he came for the wine, but he was embarrassed to say it directly, so he said hesitantly.
"Wine, did your dad let you come here to taste wine and discuss poetry?" the middle-aged man looked sad.
"This ......" As soon as Song Yu heard this person's words, he remembered that he only thought about wine, but forgot the purpose of his coming to Beijing.
"Hey, it's all to blame on that Liu Zifeng, I just forgot to talk to him about wine!" Song Yu smiled.
"Childe, the capital is not Chang'an in the northwest, there are dangers here, and you have to be careful everywhere. The middle-aged man said in a tone of hatred.
"I know, don't say it!" Song Yu can't stand this kind of mother-in-law and mother-in-law, and it seems that the sky will fall at any time.
"By the way, who are you, how do you know my identity?" Song Yu was puzzled.
"Childe doesn't know, when you came from Chang'an, my father's letter had already arrived, and I was specially instructed to protect you secretly, so that Childe must not reveal his identity, who knew that you had just entered the capital and confided the truth with a person who had never met before, and you would suffer if you continued like this. The middle-aged man said anxiously.
"I guess it's my dad's good deeds, I just went out on the front foot, and someone was looking for someone to spy on me. Hmph!" Song Yu slapped the corner of the table angrily.
"Childe, don't blame the master, he's doing this for your own good, do you know who the person who drank with you today?"
"Who is it?" Song Yu looked curious!
"That person is on business, Qin Ping's carefree son Liu Zifeng!"
"It turns out that the Xiaoyao Gongzi is him!" Song Yu had heard of the name of the Xiaoyao Gongzi before, this person was not shallow, and he was a capable talent under Qin Ping, so he didn't expect to meet here.
"Childe, don't underestimate this person, he is the omnipotent Northeast King of the Flying Heavens and Heavens. ”
"The King of Freedom is just that little bit of wine?" Song Yu looked disdainful.
"I'll tell you the truth, he won't get drunk even if he drinks a West Lake drink! No one can stun him unless he wants to get drunk. The middle-aged man said with a serious face.
"What, you said he was pretending to be drunk in front of me?" Song Yu couldn't imagine that the Northeast King would pretend to be drunk in front of him.
"He's not pretending to be drunk, he's drunk today. However, this person is extremely dangerous, and it is better for you to have less contact with him in the future. ”
"Oh!" Song Yu couldn't calm down for a long time, how could the first person he met in the capital be so strange.
"By the way, what is the relationship between you and my father?" Song Yu found that this person was very attentive to himself, and he must have an unusual relationship with his father.
"I am your father's shadow in the capital, we have never met, but I know everything about your family, just like your father knows everything about the capital!" said the middle-aged man.
"No wonder, I haven't seen you!" Song Yu almost knew about anyone who had a deep friendship with his father, but the person in front of him had never seen him, even if he had met him!
"Childe, you haven't seen me, but I know you, do you know why?" A smile appeared in the corner of the middle-aged man's eyes, but there was also a sense of kindness.
"Why?"
"Haha...... Why? Don't talk about me, even the guests of the whole West Storm probably know you. ”
"Do the guests in the west wind and rain know me?" Song Yu carefully recalled the scene when he was in the inn, indeed a few guests looked at him from time to time, and did not pay attention at the time, but now when he heard this person, he remembered that the eyes of those people did shine an unfriendly light.
"What about Liu Zifeng?" Song Yu hurriedly asked.
"What do you say?" the middle-aged man asked Song Yu with a slight smile.
How could the Northeast Xiaoyao King, the backbone of Qin Ping's subordinates, not know that he was the son of the Northwest Wolf Song Qing family?
"Oh! The man was pretty upright to me, and didn't hide his identity. Song Yu thought of Liu Zifeng at this time, but it was not so annoying.
"He Liu Zifeng, in addition to drinking every day, he is drunk, he doesn't know anyone on the rivers and lakes, there is no need to hide it, and there is one point that he may want to convey some information to the northwest. ”
"What message?" Song Yu listened with a puzzled expression.
"Go back and tell your father this, and he will know it. ”
"I still don't know something. ”
"Childe, please speak!"
"My father asked me to find the shopkeeper of the Xifeng Rain Inn, how can I find it!" Song Yu recalled that when he entered the store, he didn't see what the shopkeeper looked like, only the shopkeeper ran around.
"The shopkeeper of the Xifeng Rain Inn is a person from the court and China, and he usually stays in the palace all the time, and it is estimated that you will have to wait a few days to see him. Now that Childe is staying here, don't go out again and expose his identity. The middle-aged man said solemnly.
"Then I'm so bored and panicked here alone!" Song Yu didn't want to be locked up in this manor as soon as he entered the capital and didn't have a good time.
"If you have anything, just talk to the wooden man in the garden, and he can help you settle things outside the palace. The middle-aged man said lightly and left.
"Can things outside the palace be settled?such a big breath?" Song Yu felt disdainful for a while, such an old man who watched the garden had such a heavenly ability?
