The Bookish Scholar of the Red Mansion

Xin Suzhao came back ahead of Xue Biao, and his drinking capacity was the best among the group. Qian Dayou was a little dizzy after drinking, but he still acted like a normal person.

People often say that the alcohol content of ancient wine was not high, but wine is wine. Although the taste is different from that of later generations. But to say that you won’t get drunk after a thousand cups of wine is to look down on the brewing technology of the ancients.

In order to say goodbye to his friends today, Chen Heng had no intention of escaping from drinking. The desolation of winter cannot extinguish the young man's burning heart. If you have a lot of money, you still have Jiang Yuanbai and yourself.

It's just a pity that Xin Suzhao doesn't know how to play Feihua Ling, so everyone can't use their own strengths. I can only talk about the past five years while drinking a glass of wine. Xin Suzhao also welcomed all comers. When Xue Biao came back, he stuck his head out of the attic and called a pipa girl from downstairs.

It's getting dusk now, and the storyteller in the restaurant has already left and gone home. It's when the girl appears.

Chen Heng was also very familiar with the so-called sitting girl. It’s similar to the men and women selling music and holding guitars while eating food stalls in later generations.

Sitting is a saying in Yangzhou, and there are different names in Suzhou and other places, but the form is the same.

A sitting-playing girl like this would usually come to the guest's table, sit on the guest's lap, and play a little song or two to earn some money.

In Yangzhou, their service content can be more, but it depends on whether the other person looks like what you want.

When the pipa girl came to the table, Xin Suzhao waved her hand and said simply: Find a place to sit by yourself.

Hearing this, Pipa Girl secretly breathed a sigh of relief. This was a guest who was easy to talk to. She was afraid of meeting a man who liked to touch her as soon as he got along.

Looking again, I saw that there were all young scholars on the table, and I was even more secretly happy. After looking around, she lifted up her robe and sat down next to Xue Biao.

There is no need to say what is implied. Our girls only like this young man today. There is no need to say more about other people's singles.

Xue Biao seemed a little uncomfortable, although his reaction was dull. But Chen Heng had known him for many years, but he couldn't tell that the other party was worried. But today was Su Zhao's farewell banquet, so he couldn't take care of him for a while.

My guests, I don't know what music they want to listen to. The pipa girl's voice was also very pleasant, like the oriole's first call in March.

Sing whatever you want. Xin Suzhao is not a refined person, so he just invited the other party to join in the fun.

Jiang Yuanbai took advantage of this opportunity and ordered a few popular songs. When the guests at the neighboring tables saw Chen Heng's table ordering a meal, they also raised their wine glasses to indicate to the young men that they would drink with them, as a thank you for listening.

After everyone finished drinking, the pipa girl strummed the second and third strings. The music was cheerful and her singing was lively. Chen Heng and others' drinking enthusiasm has naturally reached a new level.

One song after another was sung, seven songs in a row. By the time the waiter lit candles in the hall, the table was almost full of wine.

Several people paid and got up and went downstairs under Pipa Girl's reluctant eyes.

On the street, the lanterns were just beginning to light up, and people’s figures were interlaced in the streets and alleys. When the lively atmosphere flowed around them, the sadness of parting was even more highlighted.

Let's say goodbye here. Xin Suzhao blushed. He already loves white clothes, and the two of them complement each other, which makes people even more worried about his state.

Let's go for a walk with you again. Chen Heng and Qian Dayou couldn't help but persuade them.

Stop showing off, a good man should act more neatly. Xin Suzhao laughed, turned around gracefully, and took a few steps. He finally stopped in the middle of the road, turned around and looked at several classmates who had stopped, and saluted with clasped fists.

Dayou, Brother Jiang, Brother Heng...Xue Biao, I am lucky to know you all in this life. I say goodbye today. I hope you all take care and go to high school as soon as possible.

Chen Heng and others understood that Su Zhao was not prepared to give them a chance to see him off outside the city.

Then today will be the last time they meet.

Qian Dayou felt depressed. Thinking of the past five years, his eyes turned red and he said, Su Zhao, I will never forget you, and please don't forget me.

When you go to the border, you have to be careful about everything. If you miss us, write to us. If you have any troubles, don't keep it in your stomach. These words were said by Chen Heng.

Why are you talking so much? You are waiting over there. When I pass the exam, I will go and play with you.

Jiang Yuanbai spoke the most carefree way, as if he had never considered the long distance from Yangzhou to the border.

Xue Biao said nothing and only returned the favor.

Xin Suzhao looked at the people under the light again, as if he wanted to remember the faces of his friends deeply in his mind.

Finally, he turned around, waved his hands and walked into the crowd.

This person has passed away, but the feeling of parting still echoes in my heart. Qian Dayou was greatly emotionally affected, and suddenly said to Chen Heng and Jiang Yuanbai: Brother Heng, originally I wanted to wait for you to take the college entrance examination together.

You know, I don't have high expectations for my success. He rambled on. I'm not as diligent as you in studying, and I don't have your talent. I have been waiting before, hoping to study in the same class as you. once.

It's just that I am getting older and I used to be ignorant and carefree, but now I have to think about my own path. I am going to sign up for next year's college examination. Regardless of whether I am a scholar or not, I will not stay in the college anymore... …”

Chen Heng listened silently to what he said. Before he could reply, Jiang Yuanbai had already said, What's the problem? We just go with you.

You. When Xue Biao heard this, he picked up a fan and hit Jiang Yuanbai on the shoulder, complaining: You make decisions for others randomly again.

Jiang Yuanbai couldn't help but stomped his feet and clapped his hands, Hey, look at me. When you drink too much, it's easy to keep your mouth shut. He apologized to Chen Heng repeatedly, so how could Chen Heng blame him.

The lantern above his head was blown by the cool breeze. Under the lights of thousands of houses, Chen Heng looked at the three friends in front of him.

They cherish their friendship with them so much, so why don't they do the same?

Chen Heng smiled faintly and said to the person in front of him: Then let's go together.

Brother Heng?! Qian Dayou was about to persuade him to stop, but Chen Heng followed Xin Suzhao's example and turned around, waved at them and left.

The sea of ​​people overlapped, Chen Heng walked among them, and Xinda followed behind his brother.

I'm half drunk today, so it's a good time to take a walk alone. Chen Heng walked around the streets of Yangzhou with his hands behind his back.

It was indeed an impulsive move for him to agree to Qian Dayou, but he had also done countless questions in the college examinations over the years.

This was something that was very certain, but because Uncle Lin had planned for him before, Chen Heng didn't take it to heart.

At this moment, Xin Suzhao suddenly left. Just like blowing the horn of growth and separation, thinking that all friends will run towards the future separately, how can Chen Heng be willing to fall behind others and leave regrets in each other's hearts.

Since the annual exams and the like are a difficult problem in front of us, let’s just get over it.

Poetry and wine should be enjoyed while the years are good, as spring is still young. Let's get drunk for thirty-six thousand times, old friends say goodbye tonight.

Chen Heng shook his head and chanted, but Xinda was worried that his brother had drunk too much. Regardless of Chen Heng's objection, he quickly took him back home.

The Chen family was very happy today. Both the Gu family and the Zhou family were selected to join the weaving workshop in the west of the city. The family had another income. The family was chatting happily and thinking about the future of the small family. They saw The eldest grandson came back drunk.

How could Mr. Gu be able to endure this? At a young age, he dared to get drunk.

Just as he was about to come up and grab Chen Heng's ear, Ms. Zhou stepped forward and hugged her eldest grandson, saying repeatedly: Go, go, we'll teach you a lesson tomorrow. Didn't you see that my grandson is all drunk?

Grandma, I didn't drink too much...

No, you drank too much. Chen Qi, take your son back to the house quickly!

…………

…………

After Xue Biao returned home, he also made a lot of noise. Xue Ai was originally in the lobby, chatting with Fan and Bao Qin, when she saw her son coming back smelling of alcohol.

Why are you drinking like this outside? Xue Ai frowned slightly. He didn't mean to blame her too much. Born in a family like theirs, socializing and drinking will naturally be inevitable in the future. It's just that wine can easily cause trouble, just taste it briefly, but it won't look good if you drink it like this.

He just wanted to persuade his son to go back to the house and sleep, and tomorrow he would slowly teach Xue Biao the rules of drinking.

Dad. Xue Biao sat down opposite her mother and sister, burping from wine and saying, My child heard some news today.

Tell me, what did you hear? Xue Ai picked up the teacup with a calm expression.

Someone told me that Your Majesty knew that my aunt used the family's money to use the royal family.

Xue Ai raised his eyebrows suddenly. He was not surprised by the news. When he was stopped outside the palace gate, he had already guessed something from His Majesty's change in attitude towards the Xue family.

For Xue Ai, this news was not so much an unexpected surprise as it was another kind of confirmation.

Who told you?

Xin Suzhao. Xue Biao said in a rough voice, with a very unpleasant tone.

Is he the son of Commander Xin? Their family is a military commander that His Majesty relies on, so if his son is telling the story, it would be somewhat credible. Xue Ai nodded silently, thinking that his son had drunk too much today, and as a father, he did not intend to argue with Xue Biao.

Xue Ai suppressed the melancholy in her heart and gently put down the tea cup she had not drank from.

It was rare that his wife and children were around today, so he simply took advantage of this opportunity. Tell the truth about the filthiness of your own home and the big house. It can be regarded as letting the family know some of the outside situation.

After the Xue family listened silently, they realized that Xue Ai had experienced so many things outside. Bao Qin, who was sitting with him at the end, suddenly turned pale and said in a panic: Dad...

What's wrong? Seeing his precious daughter so panicked, Xue Ai was also a little surprised.

I...I, my eldest sister and I have been exchanging letters. Baoqin whispered, her tone getting more and more panicked, She just wrote to me last month, saying that my eldest aunt was going to take my eldest sister with her. Go to Beijing for the draft.

This eldest sister is naturally Xue Baochai. Xue Ai has taught her for several years and she likes this sensible junior very much. Hearing this, his face couldn't help but turn pale and red, and he slammed the table.

This Wang Ziteng is so deceptive!!!!

Mrs. Fan was also shocked. She didn't understand why her junior wanted to enter the palace. She held her daughter's hand and asked urgently: Qin'er, is this serious?

Yes. Bao Qin nodded and said with concern: They are leaving after the New Year. Dad, you have to write a letter to aunt to explain this matter.

What's the use of writing a letter? No matter how much we talk, we can't say a word as good as her brother. Xue Ai said angrily, The way to death is the way to death. The royal relatives are so easy to do. ?
