Three melons and two dates

Early the next morning, Wang Da led Wang Ahua to Xie's house with two jars of peach blossom wine.

Shuyan was startled when he opened the door and saw them, he didn't expect that Wang Ahua and the others really brought wine.Wang Ahua, who was standing behind Wang Da, winked at Shuyan playfully.

"Humph."

Xie Huanxiu went home for the past two days and rested well, woke up early in the morning, and was practicing calligraphy at the table.He heard the knock on the door, curious who came to his house early in the morning, opened the window and looked out, happened to see Wang Ahua blinking at Shuyan, and Shuyan's black face turned red again.

Xie Huanxiu closed the window with a bang.

Hearing the "pop", Shuyan's heart clenched.He tried his best to smile at the Wang family and lead them into the courtyard.

The Wang family didn't care much about Xie Huanxiu's reaction. Everyone in the East Village knew that Master Xie was capable, and those who were capable were more or less tempered, not to mention that his elders had nothing to worry about with a child.

"I said, son of a bitch, is Brother Xie at home?" Wang Da asked Shuyan roughly as he walked in.

"Well, here it is."As soon as Shuyan finished speaking, Xie Jiu, who was dressed over there, came up to him.

"Brother Wang, you are very polite. You brought me wine early in the morning. I was talking about asking you for a drink two days ago, but I didn't expect you to bring it to me today. It's so interesting !"

The peach blossom wine brewed by Master Wang is notoriously delicious, but the output is low. There are only a dozen jars a year, and most of them are reserved by wine shops in the city before they are brewed.

Many people persuaded Wang Da to simply cover the entire mountain to plant peach trees and make peach blossom wine, which is easy to make money.But Wang Da refused to say anything, and decided that farmers still have to rely on farming to support themselves.

The several jars of peach blossom wine left by the Wang family every year are more or less given to the close relatives in the village, and the Xie family is among them.

As for this peach blossom wine, Xie Jiu can afford it if he wants to drink it, but can the feelings be the same, not to mention that this year there are two jars, he is so happy, he warmly greets people into the room.

"Brother, I won't go into the house and sit down. I'm still in a hurry to go to the field. The sky is about to change. I haven't finished the work in the field yet, so I have to finish it quickly."

The Wang family is no better than the Xie family, they are all counting on Wang Da and his wife to do it with those two and a half young men.Wang Ahua is sensible, but she also has to cook and deliver meals for them, and also has to watch over her two younger brothers, so she has no skills at all.

Xie Jiu thinks about it too, he is not in a hurry to go to the field, because he knows that there are people watching the work in the field, otherwise how could he get up at this time.

"The place is not in a hurry, and I will go with your sister-in-law to help you go." Xie Jiu said the truth, and he has helped a lot in previous years. It's easy to say, like showing off that you are rich.Another one is that Li Cuicui can't agree, she is willing to give no matter how much strength she has, but it is basically impossible to ask her to pay.

"Hey, how can I always bother brother Xie and my sister-in-law, there are not many, and after two days of busy work, I will finish it. If it is not mentioned by our family, I am afraid I will forget it again. I am really busy these days. I'm dizzy, fortunately, it's almost over, and I can rest. Then let's go first."

Xie Jiu didn't force him to stay, and sent Wang's father and daughter out.

Before they came, the book inkstone had just been cooked, Xie Jiu told his wife and children to eat quickly, and the couple should go to the field after eating.

Xie and his wife were busy eating, so they didn't notice Xie Huanxiu's small movements.

But Shuyan didn't miss anything, every time he picked up a chopstick, Xie Huanxiu would glance at him.Shuyan just didn't add vegetables to his meal, Xie Huanxiu looked at him with a smile on his face again, this breakfast was too much for him to swallow.

Xie Huanxiu closed the window just now, but he is not deaf.Wang Da's sentence "If our aunt hadn't mentioned this, I'm afraid I would have forgotten it again" was clearly heard.

Shuyan just went out with Wang Ahua yesterday, and the peach blossom wine was brought here today, needless to say, he also knew that Wang Ahuati must have brought it for Shuyan to drink.

Peach Blossom Brew was really delicious, and he secretly drank it himself.

I think back when Xie Huanxiu was admitted to Tongsheng, the Xie family held a banquet to celebrate.Ji Yuan, who never drank alcohol, also drank a few cups after being persuaded by Xie Jiu to drink a cup of peach blossom wine because he was happy, and passed out drunk on the wine table.

This frightened Xie Jiu. The peach blossom brew was sweet and had a long aftertaste. I drank it down and thought there was something else wrong.

He shouted, "Doctor Li, Doctor Li, come and see what's wrong with Master Ji."

Dr. Li, who was blushing from drinking, staggered over and glanced at Ji Yuan, "What are you shouting, hiccup~ Isn't it just drinking too much, it's okay, you have to pour two basins of cold water on him in a hurry, make sure he wakes up." After finishing speaking, Dr. Li burped again.

"Hey, I think it's okay, Goudan, Goudan, come and break the cold water for Master Ji!"

Shuyan, who had been busy all the time, rushed towards them when he heard Xie Jiu call Dr. Li.At that time, Shu Yan, who was still called Goudan, looked at the two people who were drunk, but did not speak. When he was sure that Ji Yuan was indeed drunk, he carried Ji Yuan, who was a head taller than him, back to Xie's house with all his strength. Prepare a room for Ji Yuan to rest.

Ji Yuan, who didn't wake up until noon the next day, faced the four members of the Xie family who were looking at him, and said calmly, "This wine is really not something you can drink casually, especially Tianguan. I know that there was a talented person in the Tang Dynasty, but because he drank a lot, he didn’t have to be an official, and he yelled something like, “Look up to the sky and go out laughing, I’m from Penghao.”

Xie Huanxiu knew that Ji Yuan was talking about Li Bai, and he wasn't the kid who had just learned how to learn almond cake back then, so of course he wouldn't believe Ji Yuan's nonsense.

But, watching Jiyuan drink so much, he can't even remember the circumstances under which Li Bai wrote "The Children of Nanling Entering Beijing", and he has to believe that he will go crazy if he drinks a lot...

Xie Jiuyi heard Ji Yuan say this, "Oh, what the master said is right. It seems that this scholar really can't drink. Originally, I thought you liked it, so I thought I would take two jars with you. I'd better keep it for myself. .”

"Oh, I don't know if Brother Xie has heard of Zhuangyuanhong."

"Have not heard."

Xie Jiu was born and raised in the north, so it's not surprising that he doesn't know Zhuangyuanhong.

"Well, this Zhuangyuanhong is that people in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces buried Huadiao wine in the ground when they gave birth, and when they became the number one scholar in high school or got married, they dug out the Huadiao wine and used it to celebrate and entertain friends. , It also means that they can drink from now on, that's why they are called Zhuangyuanhong. That wine fairy, it became like that because he drank too early. So, you must pay attention, don't Let the heavenly officials drink."

Xie Jiu seemed to have seen it all, and echoed, "So it's like this... Oh, I knew that when Tianguan was born, I would have bought him a few jars of good wine. It would be a pity to miss it."

The stunned Xie Huanxiu really didn't know whether to applaud Jiyuan's magical turn, or feel sad for Xie Jiu who didn't understand Jiyuan's meaning.

But I have to say that Ji Yuan is also capable, and he can tell so many nonsense just for a drink.Apart from this, Xie Huanxiu was more angry, and taught him that "a gentleman is not trustworthy, not enough to stand", how could he talk nonsense and deceive people like this!

In the end, Shu Yan carried two altars of peach blossom wine, and accompanied Xie Huanxiu and Ji Yuan back to Ji Yuan's residence.

Xie Huanxiu sent Shu Yan away, and when he and Ji Yuan were left alone, he finally couldn't help questioning.

Ji Yuan smiled and said to Xie Huanxiu, "Heavenly official, the saying 'A gentleman is not trustworthy is not enough to stand' is true. Could it be that I am lying when I say that drinking is a mistake?"

"'Laughing up to the sky and going out, my generation is from Penghao' Could it be written by Li Taibai after he was dismissed from office?"

"Oh, that's not true. If he didn't drink too much, he wouldn't be so dissolute. His official career has been bumpy. Although the order has been adjusted, it can't be said that what I said is wrong."

Although Xie Huanxiu knew that what Ji Yuan said was wrong, he couldn't refute it.

That year, Xie Huanxiu drank peach blossom wine for the first time in a fair way, and it was also the only time so far that he drank peach blossom brew in a fair and honest way.

Because, his parents and Shu Yan agreed that what Ji Yuan said was right, no matter how he explained, they always believed him——Xie Huanxiu was just lying to them for drinking.

From that time on, Xie Huanxiu deeply understood a truth, a person must have a tall and upright image in order to have the right to speak.

He felt that he was much more credible than Ji Yuan, but no one would believe his words.

But he ignored himself, even though he knew he had been fooled twice by Ji Yuan, but whenever he had doubts in his heart or encountered difficulties, Ji Yuan would definitely be the first thing he would think of.
