Asking hexagram 20 taels

(fourteen)

"Come on, Tang Yuaner, you are late, you will be fined three glasses of alcohol, three glasses of alcohol."

When Tang Yuan boarded the small tower, Yang Xiang had already led a group of people to clear the small tower.He was becoming more and more like a playboy. When we were young, everyone would play together in the small city tower. He always wanted to monopolize the good position, and urged them to clear the place several times, but because of his father's lust, he never dared to do it.Now that he's grown up, he's in his prime. Although Father Yang is still very strict, he won't spank him in the street again.

Zhou Fu didn't see any changes, he still looked like a young master, with a pair of Western colored mirrors on his delicate face, just like a child.

"What the hell? Don't you know how much I drink? After three cups, I'll be so drunk, can you believe that I can kick you off the small tower?" Tang Yuan saw them as if they were family members. Generally relaxed, the smile on his face became much more real, and he sat down on the floor with a lift of his robe.

"That won't work. I told our brothers to wait for so long. You have to drink this wine today." Yang Xiang was also happy to see him. After the recovery, they hadn't seen each other for a long time, and they already missed him a little. In addition, he was a playboy since he was a child, and few people in Beijing could look up to him. Naturally, they had more expectations for their childhood friends.So he also rushed forward, holding a wine glass to pour wine for Tang Yuan, who knew that as soon as he squeezed Tang Yuan's chin, he retreated to his seat with a smile as if he had seen something, "—Brother Yuan, I... I Playing around with the glutinous rice balls."

Seeing his timidity, Tang Yuan turned around with a smile, just in time to see Yuan Xiao coming up the stairs step by step behind him, looking at them seriously, with a pot of wine in his hand.

Yang Xiang looked at his unsuspecting expression, hugged her head in fright, and said: "Brother Yuan, I was wrong, don't beat me up!"

"Hahaha, Yuanxiao, why are you making a fool of yourself? Why is he so afraid of you? ——The delicious wine is from Uncle Li's house, isn't it? Bring it here and let me taste it." Tang Yuan got up and gave it to Yuan Xiao. He took a seat, held his own small cup and snatched the jug of wine in his hand and poured it for himself.

The wine liquid is as clear as moonlight, reflecting a round moon in the sky, and exuding the fragrance of grains, which makes people want to bury their heads in it, soaked in a round of moon and stay drunk for a long time.

"He has a guilty conscience. ——You don't drink well, so drink less."

"Brother Yuan, why does old man Li always give you wine, I don't care if he buys it, but he doesn't sell it?" Yang Xiang also rushed over to grab the wine, relying on Tang Yuan's poor capacity for drinking, he didn't dare to pour too much, and grabbed a big drink. He also filled a glass for Zhou Fu who was obediently sitting next to him, ignoring his refusal at all, "Hey, if I give you a full bottle of wine, you can continue. Who doesn't know that you are a wine basket."

Zhou Fu refused, so he could only pick up the wine glass and sip it down. He drank like water. He drank a lot before Tang Yuan and the others went upstairs. Now the wine jars around him are half the height of a person, but he is still fine. , with clear eyes and a clear mind, he even took the time to ridicule Yang Xiang: "Of course it's because Uncle Li is the housekeeper of the Yuan family, and brother Yuan is the son of the Yuan family. Brother Yang, you are just a neighbor of the Yuan family. Come."

These words were true, but they poked Yang Xiang's heart.He smelled the scent of flower brew all day long, but he could only taste a few sips at Yuan Xiao's place every now and then, he really couldn't satisfy his hunger.

"Little master, you can drink your wine. If you don't speak, no one will think you are dumb."

Tang Yuan took two sips of wine, and came over to help: "Yang Xiang, don't bully our little master, be careful of girls who adore our little master scratch you, if you go to the garden again, no one will sing for you."

"Okay, the three of you are going to bully me together. It depends on me, right? Let me tell you," Yang Xiang was overwhelmed with grief and indignation for a moment, stood up and took a sip of wine, using a kind of man who just wants to be brave Said with an imposing manner, "I'm just cowardly, I love whatever."

"Hahahahaha..."

The three of Tang Yuan sat and looked at each other, Zhou Fu couldn't help laughing first, then Tang Yuan and Yuan Xiao both laughed, Tang Yuan was still laughing so hard that he couldn't hold the wine glass, and the rare flower wine spilled out of the wine glass, Wet the front placket.

Yang Xiang sat down angrily, and said: "You guys know how to bully me, I won't take you to play with me when I get rich later."

"Yang Xiang, let me remind you, you are still a gatekeeper." Tang Yuan smiled and leaned into Yuan Xiao's arms, leaning against Yuan Xiao's body and laughing forward and backward.

"I tell you, I will be promoted soon."

"Then I wish you a bright future."

Tang Yuan took out the remaining half jug of wine, filled a glass of wine for all four people present, raised the wine glass first, and expressed his blessings to the moon.

Others also raised their glasses, and even Yuan Xiao gave face, and the four toasted and clinked.

"I wish Brother Yang a bright future and a great future."

"May I surpass my father in official position as soon as possible!"

Then drink a cup full of moonlight.

"I'm in a good mood today, let me show you a little bit?" Yang Xiang was so drunk that he leaned on the table, holding a glass of wine in his left hand, shaking it again and again, and finally it drank into his throat.Holding an empty wine glass, he gave a long whistle at the moon, then stood up and danced the wine glass like a long sword like a sword flower.

Mrs. Zhou looked like an honest person, but he relied on himself not to get drunk, and loved to watch drunk jokes, so he clapped and booed quickly: "Okay! Brother Yang, let's have a moment!"

Tang Yuan also stroked his palms, arousing Yang Xiang's drunkenness, he lifted the hem of his robe and tucked it into his trouser legs, and stood up on the low table.

But as soon as he opened his mouth, Zhou Fu sprayed more than half of the wine in his mouth.

"Cough cough cough..."

"What's the matter, doesn't it sound good?"

"It sounds good, Brother Yang continues."

"How can I show my whole body like a boudoir? You know the fragile skirt and the eight treasures of the gorgeous flower hairpin. You know that my life's love is natural..."

"Pfft hahahahaha..."

Tang Yuan held back his laughter at first, but finally he couldn't hold back anymore. Not only did he laugh out loud, he also made Yang Xiang stop singing in anger, "What are you singing about?"

Yang Xiang sat down angrily, and was so angry that he wanted to pour wine on Tang Yuan, but because of the support of Yuan Xiao behind him, he didn't dare to pour it out after trying it twice: "Kun opera, I don't know how to appreciate it, I don't know how to appreciate it. With a good voice, I can sing to the deaf."

"Hahahaha, which girl in the garden did you learn this from? You have a good voice, so don't waste the word good voice."

"Little master, do I really sing so badly?"

"Brother Yang, it's quite ugly. It's fine for a girl to sing, but it's okay for you old men to sing Qin Opera, 'Bu Xiang Gui' or something, why don't you sing it?"

"Cows chewing peonies! Burning zithers and cooking cranes!" Yang Xiang is worthy of being a young master who grew up in the garden and was soaked in fat and powder. He didn't care about the ridicule and persuasion of a few people, but cursed them angrily, "Everyone They are ordinary people! Miss Haitang is better, she has a good voice, a good figure, and her temper is much better than you big men!" The more he spoke, the lower his voice became, and he was almost drunk with the flagon in his arms.

Tang Yuan has a small capacity for alcohol, even if Huaniang is not intoxicating, now he has drank half of the pot in small sips, and after drinking a cup, his mind is a little dazed, and he falls on the table drunkenly, staring blankly. Smile at Yuan Xiao.

"Yuanxiao, don't you wish Yang Xiang a few words?"

"I've already said what I should wish when he took office. As long as he does his job well, he will surely succeed. Aren't you a fortune teller? Can't this be calculated?"

"Hi, haven't you heard of it? I can't calculate the fate of someone close to me. I can only see that he must have achieved something." Tang Yuan hiccupped, touched the wine pot and turned it upside down to force himself He poured wine into his mouth, and muttered as he poured it, "There's no more wine, Yuanxiao, there's no more wine."

In fact, there was still some wine, but now he poured it out. He was so drunk that he couldn't keep his mouth straight, and the wine was all spilled on the front of his clothes.The clothes, which were not thick at first, were soaked by the wine, and they were tightly attached to the body, with a small piece of skin faintly leaking.

He often walks around the rivers and lakes, his skin is not white, but he has been pampered since he was a child, and he drank a lot of maintenance medicine to hang his life. His skin is as delicate as fat. Zhou Fu also blushed when he saw it. Yang Xiang looks so good.

"Brother Yang, let's go home, you're drunk, let's stop blowing air here."

Yang Xiang is good at drinking lately, he drank a lot and still struggled to stand up, swaying down the small tower with Zhou Fu's shoulders on his shoulders: "Go home, well, go home."

Yuan Xiao watched the two of them go down the small tower, and melted into the bustling night market with the crowd.Only the two of them remained in the small tower.

"Then do you want to count me in? What will my future look like?" Yuan Xiao approached him and asked.

Tang Yuan narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "I don't know, your horoscope is too close to mine, they are all entangled."

Yuan Xiao seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, he was quite afraid of what Tang Yuan would say about him becoming a general and minister, having wives and concubines in groups, and enjoying family happiness. Such a life is really unimaginable.

"Okay, let's go home. I'll carry you."

Yuan Xiao carried him on his back and walked downstairs slowly step by step. The bustling capital city was at their feet.

Someone in the north of the city set up a Kongming lantern. I don't know what kind of wish the person who put up the lantern made in the lantern. Yuan Xiao watched the lantern drifting away from a distance, and silently made a wish in his heart.

Tang Yuan suddenly raised his head at this time, stared at Piaoyuan's Kongming Lantern, and said something in a very low voice, even Yuan Xiao couldn't hear it clearly.

"what happened?"

After Tang Yuan finished speaking, he buried his head on Yuan Xiao's back and fell asleep like a real drunk.

No one knew that that night, he suddenly looked up and saw something and said something.Even when Yuan Xiao asked him later, he just smiled, looked up at the sky, and said nothing.

Because there is no need to say any more, my wish has been fulfilled.

The next day, Tang Yuan woke up with a hangover and only felt a splitting headache.

"Is the young master awake?" The boy's voice came from outside the room.

"Well, where's father?"

"The master didn't come back from the court, maybe something happened. Master Zhou Fuzhou came to look for you, and he is waiting for you in the front hall now."

"Just looking for him to talk about something, I'll meet him in the front hall."

Tang Yuan put on his clothes and walked quickly to the front hall. He wanted to talk to Zhou Fu about something yesterday, but he forgot about it after a night of drinking. In addition, he didn't want Yang Xiang to get involved in this matter. I didn't say anything about it.

"Little master, how long have you been waiting?"

From a distance, I saw Zhou Fuxiu waiting at the entrance of the front hall with his arms folded, a pair of Western glass glasses on a delicate smiling face, and a gentle look. When he saw Tang Yuan coming in, he hurriedly gave a salute. The teacher's style: "My younger brother came to visit in a hurry, so abrupt, I should have waited."

"Don't perform these vain rituals between us brothers. Sit down." Tang Yuan let him into the room, "There must be something wrong for coming so early, right?"

"The younger brother is here to be a villain who informs the news. Brother Tang, this time the emperor ordered you to come back, I am afraid you will have to do something."

"What did you hear?"

"I hope it's because I'm thinking too much, but I heard from my father that there has been an undercurrent in the court recently. The emperor sits on the mountain and watches the tigers fight. Originally, the balance of power in the capital is at stake. Now I have ordered you to enter the capital. If you enter the court as an official , the power of the aristocratic family will grow stronger for a while, which may lead to a counterattack. At that time, Brother Tang, you will be the target of all the people in the court. In addition, Brother Yuan will go to Beijing to report on his work. Even if he doesn't want to do anything, the Beijing officials may force him to do something. I saw Yang Xiang was here yesterday, so I don’t want to tell you two, I’m afraid I’ll get him involved.”

"Your concerns are right. Yang Xiang has been very protected by Uncle Yang since he was a child. Although he is a dude, his scheming is indeed the simplest among us. If you tell him, I'm afraid he will do something irrational. —— I also have something to ask you."

"Just say it."

"Zhou Fu, your father is the Minister of the Household Department. I respect Uncle Zhou for his dedication to the country and the people, so I dare to tell you about this matter. I have been in Jianghu for a long time and I don't know the current situation in the court. During the investigation in many places, it was found that there were signs of the outflow of military supplies, since Uncle Zhou is the Minister of the Household Department, he should be aware of it, Zhou Fu, please help me to pay attention to the movements of the Household Department, whether there is any accidental outflow."

"Probably not. I'm ashamed to say that since my father became ill, half of the affairs of the household department have been handled by me, and I haven't found any mistakes or omissions."

"That may have bypassed the Ministry of Households and I don't know."

"Is something wrong?"

"Well, I suspect that someone is raising private soldiers in the Jianghu."
