The Peerless Servant

Chapter 14: Will drink wine



"Low-quality wine?"

When these words came out, both Wang Lao and Li Lao were shocked. You know, this is the tribute wine bestowed by the emperor. Even the palace only produces a few dozen kilograms every year.

"Don't brag, kid. This is the best wine in the world. How can it not be accepted by you kid?" Old man Li blew his beard and glared.

At this time, Huo Chenan was already seven or eight points drunk. He said:

"Hey, who are you kidding? Where is Moutai? Where is Wuliangye? Bring it here."

Wang Lao and Li Lao looked at each other. They had never heard of Moutai and Wuliangye.

Seeing the two shaking their heads, Huo Chenan laughed: "Old man, it seems that you two really don't take bean buns as dry food unless you are serious."

"Hey, stinky boy, show me your real skills quickly." Old man Li said disdainfully.

"Don't you see, the water of the Yellow River comes from the sky, rushing to the sea and never returning." Huo Chenan suddenly raised his voice and recited a poem with passion.

This is a poem to persuade people to drink. Old Wang and Old Li looked at each other in surprise. But they still commented very objectively: "Good poem, the first sentence is magnificent, good poem, good poem."

"Don't you see, the white hair in the mirror of the hall is sad, the hair was black in the morning and turned into snow in the evening." The high-pitched voice just now suddenly became low and hesitant, as if seeing through the intrigues in the officialdom.

Old Wang stood there in a daze. He seemed to see himself entering the court when he was young, and now he is old.

The two were able to praise the good poem just now, but they were speechless after just the second sentence.

"When life is good, you should enjoy it to the fullest, and don't let the golden cup face the moon in vain.

I was born with talents that will be useful, and I will get them back even if I spend all my money.

Cooking sheep and cattle is fun, and I must drink three hundred cups at a time."

Huo Chenan suddenly paused when he chanted here, then pointed at the two of them and said, "Old Master."

Then he pointed at himself with his thumb and said, "Young man."

"Drink, don't stop."

Although Huo Chenan was drunk, he still modified the "Drink" of the Immortal Poet according to the current scene. Put together, it is "Old Master, handsome young man, let's drink, don't stop."

"I will sing a song for you, please listen to me.

Bells, drums, delicacies and jade are not expensive, I just want to be drunk forever and never wake up.

Since ancient times, saints and sages have been lonely, only drinkers have left their names.

Chen Wang once held a banquet in Pingle, and he drank ten thousand cups of wine and enjoyed himself.

Why do you say that you don't have enough money? You must buy some wine to drink with you.

Five-colored horses, furs worth thousands of gold, call the boy to go out and exchange them for good wine, and share the eternal sorrow with you."

After chanting the last sentence, Huo Chenan leaned over and fell asleep on the couch.

Leaving only the shocked Wang and Li looking at each other.

"How do you feel?" asked the old man Li.

"It feels like a revelation, and I am mostly sober." Wang Lao said with emotion.

"Me too."

"I think this boy has a natural talent." Wang Lao continued.

"Me too."

"I want to marry my daughter to him." Old Wang said again.

"Me too."

"Old Li, you don't have a daughter." Old Wang mocked.

"But Old Li, I have a niece."

"Your niece is a princess." Old Wang was shocked.

"I think he and Jia Jia are a good match." Old Li said after serious thinking.

"Stupid, how can such a great talent be confined to a son-in-law." Old Wang looked heartbroken.

"You are afraid that he will not be able to have three wives and four concubines after becoming a son-in-law, and then your daughter will have nothing to do." Old Li looked like he had seen through you.

Old Wang was speechless. He knew that Old Li was joking with him. The Dashun Dynasty did not allow relatives to interfere in politics, so once he became a son-in-law, although he had unlimited wealth and glory, he was destined to be far away from the core of power, unless you could change the rules.

That night, Mr. Wang did not sleep all night. He kept chewing on a sentence: "I was born with talents that will be useful, and I will get them back even if I spend all my money." After thinking for half a night, he made up his mind, so he lit the oil lamp and wrote a letter to the capital overnight.

The Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal is relatively quiet at night. Although there are birds singing on both sides of the river, there are fewer ships on the river than during the day.

On a huge ship, a girl in gorgeous clothes stood upright on the railing. Her beautiful face and the bright moonlight complement each other, as if a fairy in the moon palace was admiring the prosperity of the world.

"Princess, it's cold outside. You should go back to the boat and rest early."

"Fairy Chang'e" pouted and said, "You servants are so boring. When can we get to my uncle's house?"

"Reporting to your Highness, we will travel south for a few more days and arrive at the uncle's house before Qingming Festival."

...

At the same time, countless teams were setting off from all over the country to Jinling to attend the 40th birthday of King Wu.

...

Early the next morning, Huo Chen'an's head was still dizzy.

"Is Chen'an awake?" Old Wang happened to come to check.

"Old Wang, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, didn't I do anything out of the ordinary last night?" Huo Chen'an asked, rubbing his temple.

"I did..."

"What?" Huo Chen'an looked at Old Wang in surprise.

"A poem."

"I say, old man, can you please stop panting when you talk?" Huo Chenan complained, and then asked, "What poem?"

"Don't you see, the water of the Yellow River comes from the sky."

"Huh, it turned out to be "Jiang Jin Jiu." Huo Chenan let out a long sigh. He really had a blackout. If he accidentally made a poem against it, it would be Barbie Q.

"Drinking will cause trouble, drinking will cause trouble, I have to drink less in the future." Huo Chenan made up his mind.

As a result, when Huo Chenan left, Mr. Wang still prepared a carriage of fine wine for him.

"What do you mean, Mr. Wang? Bribing me?"

"What do you have worth bribing, you stinky boy? You exchanged for fine wine last night, how can I be stingy, take it."

"Hehe, that kid is better to obey than to be respectful." Huo Chenan happily drove the carriage and left Mr. Wang's farm.

There are no technical difficulties in building the waterwheel. All that is left is to build the canal. Huo Chenan did not go to the farmland to check. He was busy building a waterwheel these days and had not visited the little girl for a long time. So he drove the carriage away from Qixia Mountain and leisurely rushed to the Su family.

The brisk pace of the mule and horse was just like Huo Chenan's mood at the moment. If it were not for the restraint of the reins, he would have run to the pretty girl.

"The river flows eastward, the stars in the sky are in the Big Dipper, hehe, in the Big Dipper..."

Driving the carriage and humming a song, Huo Chenan was planning to buy some gifts for the little girl, when he suddenly found a noisy sound coming from the front.

It is said that watching the excitement is human instinct, and Huo Chenan is naturally no exception. What's more, there is only one road, so it's not too much to take a look when passing by.

With this in mind, Huo Chenan did not avoid it and drove forward.
