The longed-for village system

Chapter 384 Chen Qing Unleashes His Ultimate Move While Drunk

"Sister Xiaogu, right? I still need to give a gift at your and Brother Chen's wedding! Is it enough for me to just show up?"

Everyone understood Xiao Zi's teasing, including Zhao Xiao Gu, who could only shake her head with a smile, "What do you think? The red envelope can be sent but the person can't."

"Brother Chen, you need to control your wife. She's turning into a miser."

Hearing Xiao Zi's words, everyone burst into laughter again, and the atmosphere became lively. Sure enough, the atmosphere was different when everyone was familiar with each other.

As time passed, dishes were served one by one. The last dish, braised pork ribs with carrots, was specially prepared for Zhao Xiaogu. After this dish was served, everyone took their seats and prepared to start eating.

A dozen or so people sat around a table, leaving only a small area in front for filming, but no one seemed to mind. The main seats were reserved for Yue Yunpeng and Xiao Zi.

After all, these two are the main guests for this episode. Although Ya Ya and Liu Shishi were invited later, they are both the hostesses of the Mushroom House, so can they be considered guests?
"Let's all raise our glasses and have a drink to celebrate the resumption of our show's recording, and also to welcome Yue Yunpeng and Xiao Zi to visit. Let's wish our friendship and love all the best, cheers!" Teacher He raised his glass and said to everyone.

"May our friendship last forever, and may our love be blissful," Teacher Huang also offered his blessings.

After a few rounds of drinks, although the show was being broadcast live, everyone was clearly quite drunk, especially Teacher He, who kept pulling Chen Qing around. Although Chen Qing's alcohol tolerance had increased considerably, his foundation was still too weak.

"Seriously, we don't need to persuade them? They're going to get drunk if they keep drinking! I think Xiao Chen is already a bit too drunk." The assistant PD whispered to Lao Wang off-camera.

"It's alright, let them drink! As long as they don't get drunk and cause trouble, let them do whatever they want. Maybe there will be some unexpected surprises!" Old Wang showed no intention of stopping, and even smiled meaningfully.

What's wrong with Chen Qing having a little drink given his current abilities? Who dares to say anything bad about Chen Qing? If you're so capable, why don't you try being as capable as Chen Qing!

Moreover, Chen Qing's drunken performance last time was even more spectacular, and the poems he wrote are still being appreciated by scholars today! Not to mention the songs he sang are widely circulated. What's wrong with such a person drinking a little alcohol? Just ask, what's wrong with that?

They were all cunning old foxes who immediately understood Old Wang's idea, so naturally no one stopped them from drinking; they even offered them more wine.

"Brother Chen, drink less! You're going to get drunk." Zhao Xiaogu noticed that Chen Qing had already drunk too much and began to persuade him.

Of course, Zhao Xiaogu couldn't stop Chen Qing at this time. Although he was still very clear-headed, he still took small sips and clinked glasses with Teacher He and Teacher Huang.

Ya Ya seemed to see Chen Qing's appearance from that night, and for the first time, she did not stop him but encouraged him, "Xiao Gu, let Brother Chen drink! Friends always get drunk a few times when they drink together."

"Okay! Let Brother Chen drink! It's a rare treat, and besides, with us taking care of him, there won't be any problems." Liu Shishi also hoped that Chen Qing could drink freely without any worries, as he must be very tired of living this long.

Hearing what the two sisters said, Zhao Xiaogu could only nod and say, "Okay! I'll text Sister Chen and ask her to make some hangover soup."

"Xiao Chen, let me tell you! I, Huang Sanshi, have rarely admired anyone in my life, especially not among the younger generation. You are the one I admire, so I'll toast you with this glass."

"Yes, I also want to toast you. It's an honor to meet you. Cheers!"

"Haha! Not at all, it's my honor to meet you two gentlemen. Cheers!"

Watching the three of them drinking one cup after another, Yue Yunpeng had already given in. He didn't want to embarrass himself on the show, or his master would skin him alive when he got back.

"Are they really okay like this? They have to record a show tomorrow, and it's going to be live." Xiao Zi's eyes showed a hint of worry. How can they record the show tomorrow if they're drunk?
"Hiccup!" Chen Qing, who had just finished drinking, immediately responded to Xiao Zi's worried words, "Sing when you gain, rest when you lose; much sorrow and hatred are fleeting. Drink today's wine today, and worry about tomorrow tomorrow." Hearing Chen Qing recite the poem, everyone's eyes lit up. Was this really going to start?
"It seems Brother Chen really drank too much. Hopefully, he can control himself." Zhao Xiaogu gently patted her forehead and smiled helplessly.

In contrast to Zhao Xiaogu's helplessness, her fans in the live stream expressed their anticipation. Control? Control what? This is exactly the moment they've been waiting for—to let loose and unleash their literary talents!

"Here it comes, finally it comes, we've finally waited for Brother Chen to get drunk. Everyone, get your paper and pens ready, tonight will be another sleepless night."

"The person upstairs is talking like they think they can translate Brother Chen's poems. Let's ask one of the experts in the live stream to do it! There must be someone knowledgeable in this area here!"

"Graduate students from the Department of Literature at Peking University are on standby at any time."

"Graduate students from the Department of Literature at Zhejiang University are on standby."

"Huaxia Chinese Language and Literature graduate students are on standby."

"The Chinese Ancient Poetry Research Association is on standby."

A single poem instantly drew in a group of people involved in the field, and even some professors arrived one after another. They valued Chen Qing's poem highly. As for Chen Qing appearing on the show while drunk?
Can a poet say he's drunk when he drinks? He calls it finding inspiration. It's not the same kind of restriction as celebrities drinking on TV shows. Chen Qing should drink more and write more poetry, otherwise his talent will be wasted.

Ya Ya pulled the somewhat bewildered Xiao Zi back to her senses and laughed, "Brother Chen, don't try to persuade me at this point. You'll just make yourself doubt your own lack of education."

"Calm down, this feast has only just begun! You didn't see my live stream of Brother Chen getting drunk last time, did you? Just wait!" Zhao Xiaogu relaxed and prepared to watch the show.

"Haha! It's going to be amazing, I can't wait!" Liu Shishi was already getting ready to take out her phone to film.

Xiao Zi was increasingly confused. Just a moment ago, Zhao Xiaogu was worried, but now she was watching the show. Could it be that Brother Chen's drunkenness is different from others?
"Peng Peng, what's wrong? Did I drink too much?" Xiao Yueyue felt a bit out of sorts after returning from the restroom.

To this, Peng Peng simply smiled and replied, "Brother Yue, just watch! The show is about to begin, it's going to be very exciting."

Although Teacher Huang was also a bit tipsy, he was much better off than Chen Qing, not to mention Teacher He, who was just starting to enjoy himself! Hearing Chen Qing recite poetry so fluently, he naturally perked up.

"Well said, Xiao Chen, sing another one."

"No problem, everyone please listen."

After Chen Qing finished speaking, he got up, drank another cup of wine, and then began to recite poetry.

The mighty river flows eastward, its waves sweeping away countless heroes of the past.

West of the old fortress, people say, lies the Red Cliff of Zhou Yu of the Three Kingdoms period.

Jagged rocks pierce the sky, and surging waves crash against the shore, churning up thousands of piles of snow.

The landscape is like a painting, and countless heroes have emerged from it.
