"Old Tang, Old Tang sat down. He finally came out and let them go. It's great to be lively and noisy. It's so boring to keep a straight face all day long. Come on, let's drink. It's said that The top-quality grape wine in the Western Region is extremely valuable!"
After saying that, Xiao Han stood up and poured a full bowl for Tang Jian. The dark red wine swirled in the large porcelain bowl, forming a small red vortex, which was very beautiful!
Looking at the wine in the cup, Tang Jian shook his head lightly, raised the big wine cup and touched it with Xiao Han, raised his head and drank it all in one gulp, whatever, let him go...
This was not the first time that Tang Jian drank with Xiao Han. He had already known about Xiao Han's strange customs. He thought that after leaving Chang'an and coming here, he could change a little. But now he saw that his nephew was lighting lanterns as usual, but this was not the case in Tang Dynasty. It doesn’t look good in Jian’s eyes. You have to follow the herd. Being in the minority may be satisfying. But when you are classified as an outlier, the end result is often not very good...
I wanted to say a few words, but I was a little hesitant when I saw Xiao Han drinking happily. Xiao Han is now young and in a high position. It is the time when the spring breeze is triumphant. Can he listen? If you say something bad and he thinks you are teaching him a lesson, wouldn't it be bad?
Xiao Han was sipping the grape wine and was a little dumbfounded by Tang Jian's rude behavior of drinking it all in one gulp. Shouldn't nobles drink this kind of wine and sip it slowly?
I remember that I drained a goblet of red wine in one gulp and was laughed at by my friends for several years. Now I have become a real aristocrat, but why did the upper class society of the Tang Dynasty change again?
The two people present had something on their minds, and suddenly there was silence, and they could only hear the other table still fighting loudly...
This time it was just a brief greeting to Tang Jian, so not many people participated. Zhang Qiang was supposed to come too, but Zhang Qiang's wife didn't want to see Tang Jian and planned for the sisters to hide in the house to eat, so Zhang Qiang had to pay for the "clothes" The brothers stabbed each other and left the guests alone to accompany their beloved wives. Xiao Han cursed in his heart while eating: You will die sooner or later if you are exhausted!
Tang Jian took a mouthful of vegetables and stuffed it into his mouth. He chewed it carefully and waited for Xiao Han to finish the bowl of wine. Then he sighed and said, "Brother Xiao Han, I'm not telling you, why don't you find some servants?" There are no servants in such a big place. Doesn’t it mean that you have lost your status as a marquis?"
"Identity, what identity? Not to mention the Marquis, the Duke also has one head and two hands. I didn't see that I, the Marquis, have nothing more to offer. Besides, having a servant is like having an extra pair of eyes watching you. Don't you? Feeling a little uncomfortable?"
"The ancestral rules have been established for thousands of years, and there is an orderly order of superiority and inferiority..."
"Yes, yes, drink, drink..."
Listening to Tang Jian's long speech, Xiao Han immediately picked up his wine cup and drank. It is true that there are no rules without rules, but Xiao Han felt that these rules on face were purely to bring trouble to himself.
However, from ancient times to the present, some people like to focus on face. They have to dress appropriately and be polite when going out, so that no one can see that you are starving to death. Xiao Han believes that besides using Stupid, there is no other word to describe this kind of behavior. The time to discuss rules is not as important as going out to get a few bites of food.
Tang Jian opened his mouth, sighed for some reason, and had no choice but to drink too.
After a few glasses of water and wine, the atmosphere began to heat up. The two of them couldn't help but talk more, and even their tongues began to curl.
In fact, Tang Jian is quite good at drinking. As a person in a high position and a negotiator, not being able to drink is as ridiculous as a fierce general not being able to ride a horse. In summary, although Tang Jian is thin, his drinking capacity is the least among the people Xiao Han knows. Can be ranked in the top five!
However, now that Xiao Han is here, everyone who has had a drink with Xiao Han says that Xiao Han seems to have some kind of magic power, which can make people put down their guard unknowingly and feel completely comfortable.
In addition, Xiao Han is actually quite bad. Usually everyone drinks the same drink, but once he encounters a heavy drinker, he will immediately serve white wine and grape wine!
However, few people can survive this move. Whenever he looks at the drunken guests, Xiao Han always feels like he is alone and seeking defeat. Hey, a master is lonely...
It's a pity that I don't have beer in my hand. Otherwise, it would be too enjoyable to have a hundred beers and red wine together...
After drinking up a jar of grape wine, Xiao Han took out a jar of homemade white wine from under the table. By the time the jar of white wine was half drunk, Tang Jian was already drunk and hazy.
After trying hard to pick out a piece of fatty meat, it fell off three times. Tang Jian finally flicked the chopsticks, picked it up and stuffed it into his mouth. He chewed it twice, breathed a sigh of relief with satisfaction, and burped to Xiao Han. Said: "Xiao...Xiao Han, your food really makes people want to eat it more and more. It's a pity that we can't eat it more often."
Xiao Han looked at Tang Jian's drunken look with a wicked smile. He diligently picked up a piece of boiled pig's ear and put it into the bowl in front of Tang Jian. Seeing Tang Jian tirelessly picking the meat with chopsticks, his stomach almost broke with laughter. , with a sincere expression on his face: "Old Tang! What are you talking about? If you want to eat, just stay with me for a few more days. We can eat enough at once before leaving!"
"No, no..." Tang Jian finally picked the meat into his mouth, shook his head and said to Xiao Han: "This time I am also entrusted by the King of Qin to come and see you. I have to leave for Jinyang tomorrow..."
"Going to Jinyang? Brother, aren't you the Vice Minister of Zhongshu? If you are not staying in Chang'an, why are you going to Jinyang?"
"Hey, stop talking, it's hard to say anything..." Tang Jian seemed to be very dissatisfied with this trip. He put his chopsticks heavily on the table and looked at the moon without saying anything.
"What does your Majesty want to do? Last time I went to see Mr. Huangfu, he was about to leave the Ministry of Works. The new head of the Ministry of Works is said to be Samurai Yan, a businessman. Why should he go to the Ministry of Works! From now on I don’t even know anyone when I do something…”
"He had already gone to the Ministry of Industry when I came to Miyuan..."
Tang Jian's voice was a little floating, and he said slowly: "You...don't underestimate this person. He is also your superior now. Moreover, this person came from a poor commoner and became a third-rank official all the way. He can think of ways to do it." There are so many! You have to be a talented person with your tail between your legs..."
"The one with its tail between its legs is a dog, it's me..." Xiao Han looked at Tang Jian resentfully, but seeing him so drunk, he generously forgave him and continued to say to him: "But don't worry, brother, I I won’t mess with him, now I wish everyone in the world would forget about me, look at what Chang’an is like, Old Tang, it’s not necessarily a bad thing for you to go to Jinyang this time!”
Hearing what Xiao Han said, Tang Jian, who was already seventy percent drunk, suddenly laughed again: "Hahaha... It's good for you to hide here and enjoy your leisure time, but we can't!
We were walking on thin ice every day in Chang'an for the King of Qin to compete with the prince. Just like this, many people were transferred out. Look, I am also one of these people. Moreover, the prince originally wanted to use you as a kid. You look like a baby, but I didn't expect that your kid suddenly greased the soles of his feet, slipped away, and even caused a farce, which made the prince so angry that he had nowhere to vent his anger, and his face turned purple with anger!
You don’t know, I was in King Qin’s army at that time. When I heard the news, I was dragged away by Xue Shou and Chai Shao to drink wine all night. After King Qin heard about it, he also laughed out loud and said, Xiao Han, what are you doing? It’s a good way to attract hypocrites and idiots! "
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Hearing what Tang Jian said, Xiao Han also laughed proudly and said to himself: "My methods are not perfect, but practical. Who would have trouble with a second-rate guy, especially when he is already second-rate?" Since Johto knows about it, wouldn’t competing with him bring you to the same level?”
After Tang Jian finished laughing, he seemed to be in high spirits again, and his eyes became clear again. He grabbed his chopsticks and asked: "Today you told me that you want to make your fiefdom special and not make your own house special." Same, is it fake?"
"Fake? Why is it fake? Why do you think so?"
Xiao Han looked at Tang Jian strangely and didn't understand why he said this. In fact, when he showed off his grand blueprint to Tang Jian today, he found that Tang Jian acted a little strange, but he didn't say anything at the time. Xiao Han thought that He couldn't ask anything in front of these old foxes, so he didn't bother. I wonder if he could use this to find out the reason now that he was drunk.
"I think it's... it's false. Xiao Han, you are so smart, how can you be unconventional in this period? Even if the court doesn't pay any attention to you now, but if someone grabs your pigtails, you will be in trouble in an instant. It will lead to catastrophe. For example, if you are a strange prince, if you break this rule among other things, it is a serious crime! You must be careful..."
"ah……"
Tang Jian suddenly pointed out the key to this. Xiao Han was sober from drinking in an instant, and cold sweat was dripping down his back. He thought that the emperor was far away today and no one would control him. It turns out that this was all wishful thinking on his part. Indeed, as long as he was determined, he could never escape the eyes of others. No wonder Tang Jian told him a lot about how bad the court was. It turns out that this is the main topic! Old Tang is really a good person. Even when he is drunk, he is always thinking about himself. You must be nicer to him in the future!
Putting down the wine cup and bowing heavily to Tang Jian, Xiao Han began to wipe his sweat. He couldn't accept it. He was still young, and he almost suffered some losses...
"Oh, yes, and..." Tang Jian, who was already drunk and almost squinting his eyes, suddenly cheered up again for some reason and sat up unsteadily.
"What else? What else?" Xiao Han was so frightened by Tang Jian that his heart stopped for a moment. Is he always making mistakes like this recently? Can you stop scaring me like this?
Tang Jian spoke loudly and said to Xiao Han: "His Royal Highness King Qin has something difficult to write in his letter. Let me ask you. You said you asked him to form an elite division and he has already started to do it. But what do you think of the weapons and equipment?" Allocate time?"
"Oh, it's not my problem...I'm scared to death. Just don't get into trouble, just don't get into trouble...wait? Old Tang, what did you just say?"
