Cross the river pawn

Everyone's eyes were on Zhang Yuelu, and the clerk was stunned for a while before turning around and leaving.

"Shaodaozi" is shochu, which got its name because of its strong taste, like burning.It is mainly popular in Liaodong area, because the weather there is extremely cold, and this wine is also suitable for dispelling cold.

This is the preference of the people in black. If some of the people here are from Liaodong Daofu, they like this wine, that's all, it's just a matter of habit.Taking a step back, even if Qi Xuansu said he wanted to drink soju, it was barely acceptable, but Zhang Yuelu.

First of all, there are not many women who like to drink alcohol, and women who like to drink strong alcohol are even rarer.The second reason is that Zhang Yuelu has a slight Jiangnan accent, obviously he is not the Liaodong person who likes to drink soju the most.

Even Qi Xuansu looked sideways at him: "Shochu?"

"Shochu." Zhang Yuelu responded.

Qi Xuansu said softly: "Generally only drunkards like to 'burn knives'. You don't look like a drunkard."

"For me, the rice wine is a bit softer, not intoxicating." Zhang Yuelu didn't care much about other people's strange eyes, just like in Chiming Palace, she also didn't care about the opinions of the three deputy hall masters.

Not arrogant, but by nature, she always treats everyone equally.In front of the three deputy hall masters, she had the same attitude, and in front of Qi Xuansu, she still had the same attitude. Even in front of several real people, she only kept the courtesy and did not bow down.

Qi Xuansu didn't speak anymore, but just took another look at her.

A young woman dressed in a plain Taoist robe, with outstanding looks, but not perfect, but with her own imposing manner.

After a while, the meeting officially opened.In addition to the ten-year-old daughter red, Zhang Yuelu's shochu also arrived. It was served in a small wine jar, and it weighed only about a catty.

The waiter at the restaurant thought that this girl was just a whim, or she was depressed, and she was not a real drinker.And seeing that the girl looked normal, she was whispering to the young man beside her, she didn't look like someone who wanted to drink away her worries.Anyway, he didn't dare to drink too much. People with a light drinker can get drunk in a few taels. If they really want to drink too much, it would be a waste.

Zhang Yuelu raised his hand to take the wine jar, opened the mud seal, and immediately a strong smell of alcohol rushed out, just smelling it would make people choke, to put it bluntly, people who don't know how to drink, just smell the smell of alcohol, can feel drunk .

Zhang Yuelu's eyes lit up, he poured the wine into the cup, and took a sip.

Seeing this scene, Qi Xuansu was inexplicably relieved, he was really afraid that this Tantai girl would directly lift the wine jar and take a sip, and then wipe the wine stains on her mouth with her sleeve, like a green forest hero who eats meat and drinks heavily , It's like a lady pulling up a weeping willow upside down, but it's too unharmonious, he can't accept it.

Fortunately, this Tantai girl still drank from a cup, and did not act too deviantly.

In fact, not only Qi Xuansu breathed a sigh of relief, but the rest of the tablemates also breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that this girl just wants to drink, and she is not the kind of informal person.

After Zhang Yuelu drank a glass of wine, a slight blush appeared on his fair face, he looked at Qi Xuansu, raised his glass and asked, "Do you want a drink?"

As if afraid of Qi Xuansu's rejection, she immediately added: "It's delicious."

The smile on Qi Xuansu's face was a bit stiff, but he still nodded and said, "Okay."

Zhang Yuelu raised the wine jar and filled the wine glass in front of Qi Xuansu.

This kind of wine glass is not a small wine cup, but an antique three-legged gold bottle, which is in line with the poet's saying "Don't let the gold bottle stand in the sky against the moon."

A glass of wine, to say the least, is worth two taels.

Zhang Yuelu poured himself another glass, and said at the same time: "Drinking wine is a word for 'drunk', so don't use your true energy to dispel the power of alcohol, then it will be boring. It's better not to drink the wine than to waste it."

Qi Xuansu picked up his wine glass and sighed: "Forget it, I will give up my life to accompany the gentleman."

The two raised their glasses and clinked each other, each drank the wine in their glasses in one go, and neither of them resisted with true energy.

In an instant, Qi Xuansu only felt a fire burning in his chest, and the hot feeling spread from his mouth and throat to his stomach, which lasted for a long time.This is not a big deal, the key is that the alcohol rushes straight to the Fengchi acupoint, and in a blink of an eye, Qi Xuansu feels his head is heavy, and he can't help but hold on to the armrest of the chair.

Zhang Yuelu, on the other hand, was still sitting upright, but his face was more flushed.

In any case, the gap between the realms of the two is there, and the improvement of the cultivation base to the body cannot be ignored. If it is replaced by a real person at the stage of heaven and man, even if he does not deliberately dissolve the alcohol, he will not be drunk for a thousand cups.

At the end of the banquet, it was Zhang Yuelu who helped Qi Xuansu, who was already top-heavy as if he was stepping on cotton, to leave the Phoenix Tower and walk in Taiqing Square.

A catty of soju was 16 liang, Zhang Yuelu drank [-] liang of shochu, Qi Xuansu drank [-] liang of shochu plus [-] liang of daughter red, Zhang Yuelu didn't change much except his blushing face, but Qi Xuansu was quite drunk.

Qi Xuansu's wine is very good, he didn't go crazy after drunk, and he didn't take advantage of Zhang Yuelu, but he couldn't control his mouth, so he muttered to himself: "Actually, I think Nurhong is better. , it’s just that I don’t quite understand why it’s called ‘Nv’erhong’ instead of ‘Nan’erhong’?”

Zhang Yuelu couldn't help but said: "Actually, there are also 'Zhuangyuanhong'. This is a custom in the south of the Yangtze River. After giving birth to a son, he brews some wine for him and buries it in the cellar. Once buried, it will last for more than ten or twenty years. It means waiting for the son. If you win the number one prize, take it out and have a big banquet with your guests."

Qi Xuansu understood: "I understand. After giving birth to a daughter, I will bury it and drink it when I get married. It will be called 'daughter red'."

Zhang Yuelu suppressed a smile and said: "Young Master Qi is very knowledgeable." "Call me by the nickname 'Tianyuan'." Qi Xuansu waved his hand. At this time, he was already seven or eight points drunk, and his drinking talk naturally made people laugh, "But There’s another question. Only one scholar in the country can get the top prize in three years. If the son he gives birth to doesn’t get the top prize, wouldn’t it be a pity for this wine?”

Zhang Yuelu couldn't help laughing out loud: "It's just called this name, and I'll drink it out when my son gets married."

Qi Xuansu was blown by the night wind, and became drunk against the wind, and the drunk became more drunk: "Just now, it was the ten-year-old Nurhong, and I heard that there are still dozens of years of Nurhong. Don't the daughters in the south of the Yangtze River get married?" ?”

Zhang Yuelu couldn't bear it anymore, she was about to laugh out of tears: "Yes, like me, I don't marry, and I put all my thoughts on Taoism."

Qi Xuansu nodded: "Put your mind on Taoism... Do you wear the Hui sword?"

At this moment, someone shouted from behind, Zhang Yuelu supported Qi Xuansu to stop, and looked back.

It turned out that the female crown who invited the two to watch the ceremony earlier caught up again, still carrying two boxes in her hand.

The female crown came to the two of them and handed over the two boxes: "These are some pastries. Every guest has them. I hope you don't dislike them."

Zhang Yuelu reached out to take the two boxes and thanked them.

The female crown glanced at the two of them, then at the moon in the sky, and said with a smile: "It's a beautiful day, you two don't let the moonlight down, I won't bother you."

Zhang Yuelu was still smiling lightly, without the slightest shyness of his daughter's family.

After the female crown left, Zhang Yuelu supported Qi Xuansu and walked for a while until he came to the statue of Taishang Daozu.

The statue of Taishang Daozu stood on the huge three-story Xumizuo. Zhang Yuelu supported Qi Xuansu to sit down on the steps of the first-story Xumizuo, and asked, "Where is your home? I will take you back."

"Family..." Qi Xuansu was stunned for a moment, but he was a little sober.

After a long time, he sighed and said, "Where is there still a home?"

Zhang Yuelu was silent for a moment, then sat down next to Qi Xuansu, about a foot away from him, looked up at the bright moon in the night sky, and changed the subject: "I didn't expect you to drink so lightly."

When the night wind blew again, Qi Xuansu became five points sober instead, probably because things must turn against each other, and he became sober from drunk.

Qi Xuansu smiled wryly: "This is the most intense burning knife, and I can't resist it with true energy. I can drink nearly half a catty without falling down, and I can even talk to you, which is already very good."

Zhang Yuelu said: "Whether the capacity for alcohol is good or not is a comparison."

Qi Xuansu said: "Do you know that the feeling of a hangover is very painful?"

"I don't know, but you'll know soon." A faint smile appeared on the corner of Zhang Yuelu's mouth, "Actually, there's nothing wrong with getting drunk, at least you can forget about those annoying things for the time being. I heard that in the Taoist sect, There is a kind of wine called 'Drunken Life, Dreams and Death', which is exclusively for real people, because ordinary wine has no effect on real people, and any real person who wants to get drunk will ask for a jar of 'Drunk Life, Dreams and Death'."

Qi Xuansu asked: "What if ordinary people drink it?"

Zhang Yuelu said: "If an ordinary person drinks 'Drunk Life, Dreams and Death', he will forget many things, such as his parents, wife and children, friends and brothers, and even who he is. Therefore, the Taoist sect has strict control over 'Drunk Life, Dreams and Death'. It’s hard to see. I’ve been wanting to drink it, but I’ve never been able to.”

Qi Xuansu said softly: "Still wearing the Hui sword."

The moonlight was like water, and the silver-white moonlight poured on the two of them, dragging out two long shadows.

After a moment of silence, Zhang Yuelu said softly: "It's getting late, I'll take you back."

Qi Xuansu waved his hand: "The two of you are facing each other with flowers blooming in Zhuoshan, one cup after another. I'm drunk and want to sleep, and I'll go, Ming Dynasty intends to bring the qin."

"Then... see you again if you are destined." Zhang Yuelu didn't insist, and stood up holding her pastry box.

Qi Xuansu replied: "We will meet again by fate."

Zhang Yuelu turned and left.

Qi Xuansu was still sitting on the steps, watching Zhang Yuelu disappear into the vast night, he wanted to use his true energy to dissipate the power of alcohol, but suddenly remembered what Zhang Yuelu said, it is not easy to get drunk once, so he stopped his movements.

He didn't expect that he would meet such an interesting woman tonight, but he didn't have too many thoughts. After all, there is a huge crowd, and there may not be a chance to meet again in the future. The two are just passers-by in each other's lives.

Spring dream has no trace.
