Chapter 42: The Reasons for Drinking Strong Alcohol
The second update is here!!! Those with recommendation votes and monthly votes voted for Boron. The results are indeed too bad. Okay, several authors gathered together, and Boron also went to participate!
——————————
On the banks of a Tamsui River, the cold wind was desolate, and a thin layer of floating ice had formed on the river surface. The plants and trees on both sides were covered with white frost, without any vitality, pale and powerless.
At this time, a man wearing a hat, covered with a black veil, and wearing a dark brown robe, stood quietly against the frozen river with his hands behind his back, without saying a word, as if he was thinking about something.
Behind him, a man in black robe who also covered his face with a black veil and exposed his eyes. He was tall and thin, with a long sword on his waist, and it seemed that he was a martial arts practitioner.
A strong wind mixed with frost blew towards us. The man in the black robe felt his eyes closed as if he was scratched by a knife. At this time, the man wearing a hat slowly turned his body. Finally,
Facing the man in black robe.
"How about it, can you gain something from the trip to Shu? Is the jade pen in his Li family?" The man said in a rough voice, and it was not difficult to hear a little anger in his words.
The man in black robe did not dare to look up and immediately knelt on the ground and said, "Go back to the lord, it's because my subordinates are not doing things well! My subordinates and brothers have been in Sichuan for three months, but they still have nothing. Perhaps the Li family doesn't exist at all.
The theory of jade pens is believed by my subordinates…”
The man in black robe knew that he would be punished if he was not good at doing things, but he still wanted to minimize the responsibilities he could bear. The punishment he received could be lighter. After all, it would not be found out in three months.
It can only be said that it is a problem of inefficiency in work, and there is nothing to make excuses.
Before the man in black robe finished speaking, the man in the hat immediately angrily scolded: "Bastard! I asked you to do something, but there were many excuses. You asked those rice buckets to listen to me. No matter what method I used, I would like to bring Li's house.
If you look up the bottom of this palace, you must find the jade pen! Did you hear it?"
The man in the hat was angry, but he saw that the floating ice condensed on the lake collapsed instantly by his anger. Soon, all the floating ice on the lake melted and lit out of the mirror-like water surface.
"Yes! I'll go immediately!"
As he said that, the man in black robe immediately got up and left without any hesitation.
"Come back!" But seeing that the man in black robe had just gotten up and was about to leave. The man in the hat suddenly called him again, and said, "Don't worry about this matter for the time being. I have another major thing to do.
If something is done, there will be a great reward!"
It can be heard from the sound of the man in the hat talking. He bit his lip when he talks, especially when talking about "big events", he can clearly feel that he is talking very hard, and he twitches.
It is hard to imagine that this so-called "big event" must be an ordinary thing.
The man in black robe immediately stopped, bowed his head and said, "My lord, please speak, my subordinates should go through fire and water, and do whatever they want!"
"Very good! I heard that Princess Pingyang, the daughter of King Jing, will have a wedding with Li Zhengyao, the new top scholar in the Kewu, the left commander of the Jinyiwei, the left commander of the Imperial Guard and the first-class guard commander of the Imperial Guard. I believe you should also listen.
I thought about it!" said the man in the hat with a lot of fun.
As he said that, the man in the hat slowly turned around again, stretched out his shrill right hand, and touched the willow branches in front of him for a moment, not knowing what he meant.
The man in black robe was a little confused and immediately asked: "I know, but I don't know that the lord wants..."
"It's very simple. I don't want them to get married. You know what to do."
"I understand!"
"Remember, I must be on the first day of the twelfth lunar month. I must be on the first day of the twelfth lunar month!" The man in the hat emphasized in a stronger tone.
As he said that, the man in the hat suddenly grabbed the willow branch wrapped in white frost with one hand. Suddenly, he opened his hand and saw that the willow branch instantly shattered into powder.
"Yes! Lord!"
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
On the first day of the twelfth lunar month, it arrived soon, which means that Zhengyao's wedding date has arrived.
In the deep winter, the sky is gray. The air is filled with thick fog, and the frost falls layer by layer, making the entire capital a little unsparable.
The palace of Prince Jing is already crowded at this moment. Nothing else, just because it is the wedding of Li Zhengyao and Zhu Luying. Officials of the fifth rank and above in the court have come here, even Yan Song, who has always been incompatible with Prince Jing.
I also came to congratulate me in a leisurely mood. As for whether it was the drunkard's intention to be wine, it is unknown.
At this moment, Zhengyao was wearing a red outfit, and the groom looked more energetic and suave than before.
The protagonist today is undoubtedly Zhengyao, and relatives and friends from all walks of life are here, and they even send people to invite both Li Chengfeng and Yuan Fengming in Shu to the capital just to have a drink of Zhengyao's wedding wine.
Hua Qingyue also came early, but her expression and behavior today seemed very unnatural than before, and she also showed a burst of sadness and resentment. In fact, Zhengyao didn't understand, but he just understood
You can't do anything, after all, this is a marriage granted by the emperor and you cannot disobey.
Therefore, Zhengyao tried his best to avoid communicating with Hua Qingyue, and the happiest person was Fang Yuyang, but it was just that Fang Yuyang fell flowers and flowers were intentional and the clear moon flowed water was ruthless.
The Han Mansion also lined up a big squad today, which gave Zhengyao enough face. I won’t mention the gifts. The Han Mansion has money, which is absolutely amazing. The gifts are also jade pearls, etc., which means a hundred years.
It's a good time to have a noble son, and so on. This made Li Chengfeng happy, and Zheng Yao really gained enough face for him.
However, Zhou Bing is also equally weird. When Zhengyao was about to give him a hug to express his welcome, Zhou Bing subconsciously dodged away, and at the same time, a hint of redness appeared on his face, which made Liu Yan and Han on the side stand by him.
Chen was funny, but Han Ren just shook his head slightly and then sat at the main table.
Naturally, there was a cliché before the banquet. Thanks to this and that for their support, and hopes that everyone can eat and drink well. After finally finishing speaking, Zhengyao smiled and walked towards the main table.
Then, Zhengyao picked up the wine glass, then made a "please" gesture to everyone, and said cheerfully: "Come on, let Li Zhengyao give everyone a cup!"
After saying that, Zhengyao drank it all in one go. His heroic aura was no less than that of Wu Song, who was only three bowls, and Qiao Feng, who swallowed the pot.
"good!"
Seeing that Zhengyao was so generous, everyone couldn't help but cheer, and then they all drank it all, including Hua Qingyue, Lu Wanyi and Xu Yuzhi, who were women. These three women can really be regarded as heroes among women.
"My father! I will respect you this cup! If it weren't for the kindness of my father's raising me and the teachings I have since childhood, I would not have achieved what I have done today! I'll be the first to respect you!"
As he said that, Zhengyao drank it all in one go, as if he was not drinking wine, but water.
Even Li Chengfeng had never seen Zhengyao have such a great time. He didn't drink much, but he actually drank two drinks in one breath, which made him feel a little old.
Li Chengfeng said excitedly: "Okay! My son is so happy! I am happy for my father. I have had this cup with you for my father!"
If you have such a child, what can you do if you really want? Even if Li Chengfeng returns to the West now, he will die without regrets. At least he is worthy of the ancestors of the Li family and cultivates a son who has made such a son.
"My father-in-law! This cup is my son-in-law's respect! If it weren't for the support of my father-in-law, my son-in-law would not have achieved what he has done today. My son-in-law will do it first!" He just finished drinking a cup, but it hasn't been long since.
After a break, he didn't even eat a bite of the dish. Zhengyao picked up the wine glass and greeted King Jing.
After saying that, Zhengyao drank all the wine in the same way. There were at least two taels of wine, and three cups were six taels. You should know that Zhengyao's alcohol content never exceeded half a pound, and this has not stopped yet.
I drank six taels in one breath. Is this still drinking wine?
Although King Jing noticed something wrong with Zhengyao, he still did not show it. Instead, he smiled and said, "The son-in-law is too rewarded. If you are optimistic about your father, you are the talent of your son-in-law. I believe that you will not support you for your father.
Your talents can still make great achievements in the court!”
After King Jing finished speaking, he drank the wine in the wine glass in one sip, leaving no drop left, which was a huge amount of Wang Han.
"Mr. Xu..." Zhengyao immediately pointed the wine glass at Xu Jie again, but at this time Liu Yan, who was beside him, pulled Zhengyao.
"Third brother, what are you going to do?" Liu Yan said quietly beside Zhengyao.
Intuition tells Liu Yan that Zhengyao is not drinking, but drinking.
"Second brother! I'm so happy today, let me drink it happily, drink it happily! But you, after you, if you drink less, I won't admit it!" As he said, Zhengyao smiled again.
He said to Xu Jie: "If it weren't for Lord Xu's care, Zhengyao Jinri would have rarely achieved such a achievement. This cup is a must-have!"
Zhengyao ignored everything else, and after saying that, he poured the wine into his mouth, just as a person who had been thirsty for a day suddenly found a glass of water, and poured it into his mouth without leaving any left.
Xu Jie had a bad alcohol tolerance, but because Zhengyao gave him face, he assumed that he had no intention of retreating, so he tried his best to drink the drink in one gulp, which attracted applause.
"Mr. Gu..."
Zhengyao raised his wine glass again and looked at Gu Ruzhi.
Just like that, Gu Ruzhi, Lu Bing, Han Ren, and even Yan Song and Yan Shifan, Zhengyao all toasted them all, as if everyone had to toast, and the wine seemed to be more refreshing the more it drank.
In the eyes of others, how powerful Zhengyao is and how powerful he is, it has attracted praise from everyone. Only Liu Yan and Hua Qingyue on the side knew that perhaps Zhengyao's move was just to numb himself and let him
You can feel better.
Indeed, only Zhengyao himself knew that he really was not drinking, but angry, and resentment that he had indescribable pain.
The sky is still gray, and the mist covers everything, making people unable to distinguish the direction and the authenticity.
