When Chen Fan came in and called Xiao Qing, Xiao Qing had already prepared his outfit. He was dressed in a warrior uniform and had a long sword on his waist. The sword was naturally a light sword. When Chen Fan saw Xiao Qing's outfit, he was secretly happy. Ever since Master Huang allowed him to carry a sword, this guy always likes to wear the sword on his waist. I wonder if I can borrow the sword for lunch?
With Chen Fan's introduction, Xiao Qing finally knew the name of the person asking the question. Since it was Chen Fan's younger brother, he still had to give him the honor to reply. At that moment, Xiao Qing looked at Gong Qing and said, "I deserve it." This sword is not only for self-defense, but also for nourishing one’s energy and self-respect.”
Chen Fan suddenly discovered that this Xiao Qing was quite talented in metaphysics. A simple thing sometimes became very profound when it came to his mouth. It sounded right, but if you taste it carefully, it actually tasted like nothing was said. Chen Fan knew that in ancient China, wearing a sword was an external expression of solemnity. "Book of Rites Tamamo" records that a gentleman "must wear a sword" when going out, that is, he must wear a sword. When Xiao Qing said this, he actually meant that I wear the sword out of etiquette and to cultivate myself into a gentleman.
As far as Chen Fan knows, during the Han and Jin Dynasties in China, swords were also a symbol of status. Only scholar-bureaucrats and members of wealthy families were allowed to wear swords. During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the rules for gentlemen to wear swords were relaxed. Except for nobles, People from poor families were also qualified to wear swords, so the custom of wearing swords became popular. But at this point, few of the people Chen Fan came into contact with were armed with swords, so he didn't pay much attention to this statement.
"It seems that Mr. Xiao is a model of a gentleman, but we are going to eat. According to the Book of Rites, you are not allowed to wear a sword when eating and drinking. I wonder what Mr. Xiao is going to do?"
"Of course I took it off."
"It's good to get into the habit of carrying a sword when you go out. It can be used for self-defense. But I don't know how to dance with a sword. When I learn how to dance, I will wear one. You don't know that A Qing's sword skills are really powerful. , if you make him happy at noon today, maybe he will show you his hands and let you know what real swordsmanship is." Chen Fan, who knew that Gong Qing had a sharp tongue, quickly took over, don't let Gong Qing do this. Randomly blaming offenders made Ah Qing unhappy.
"Really? I haven't seen anyone dancing with a sword. Our small county is not so particular. I heard that in big cities, children of noble families over twenty years old basically wear swords when going out, but only on their waist. Some of the swords among them are wooden swords, just for the sake of style, and I don’t know whether they are true or false.” Feng Can, who knew Gong Qing’s personality, also immediately answered.
"That's our small county. There are not many children from scholarly families. Your eldest brother is Fasheng. I have seen him sometimes wearing a sword. I just don't know who is more powerful compared to you, Mr. Xiao Lang." Gong Qing rolled his eyes at Chen Fan. said.
"My eldest brother is just a showman, just for show. In terms of martial arts, he is not as good as A Qing. Don't talk about swords all the time. How about we stay and drink some wine in Wangyue Tower?" Chen Fan chose to change the topic. .
"I have no problem. I have been drinking this wine for a long time. It's not that I look down on you. When it comes to playing chess, I am not as good as giving birth to you. I even lose to Gong Qing sometimes. But when it comes to drinking, you and Gong Qing are not the same. My opponent, drinking depends on your talent. You see Gong Qing is so thin, he is probably the kind who drinks from one glass."
In fact, Gong Qing is not particularly thin, he is just thin compared to you, Chen Fan said in his heart, but Chen Fan was not in a hurry to reply to Feng Can's words, because someone would definitely answer.
Sure enough, Gong Qing took over and said, "I have only heard of fat barrels, not thin barrels. It turns out that the reason why this fat barrel has a thick waist is because it contains wine."
"Hahahaha." Chen Fan laughed loudly without losing his image. With friends, don't worry so much about manners and etiquette. When you are happy, just laugh loudly. When you are sad, just cry and express your feelings to your heart's content. Just fine.
The little fat man's face suddenly darkened, "A barrel is a barrel, there is no difference between fat and thin? There are heroes and bears in people. The ancients often said that heroes are judged by cooking wine, but some people don't want to be more heroic. But saying that others are bears, talking about Zhang San, talking about Li Si, looking at other people's shortcomings is a mistake; looking for your own shortcomings, that is blind. There is a woman next door to our house who uses a thin bamboo pole to swat mosquitoes all day long. He also chanted, 'A thin bamboo pole, a thin bamboo pole is just right for killing mosquitoes.' The bamboo pole is thin, but the mosquitoes are smaller. Do you think the woman next door to our house is blind?"
"Haha, you are blind. How can you use a thin bamboo pole to kill mosquitoes." Chen Fan said cheerfully, without any concern for Gong Qing, whose face turned dark in an instant.
"Fasheng, have you forgotten who just said that you and I are no match for someone? Do you think that person is blind or not?"
"Yes, he is blind!" Chen Fan immediately affirmed. This is a matter of principle and position, and he must unite with Gong Qing.
"Didn't I liven up the atmosphere, and in the end I attracted someone's attack?" Feng Can immediately surrendered, and then started to play the sympathy card. He probably expected that he was definitely not the opponent of Gong Qing and Chen Fan, and had to win over them. To stay with Chen Fan, at least let Chen Fan remain neutral.
"Did someone attack you? Why didn't I see it? Where were you injured?" Chen Fan decided that he had to change his neutral stance when necessary, and it was okay to go off the rails occasionally.
"This." The fat little black man pointed to his heart.
"I think you are quite capable, but why are you so easily injured? Those heroes are all heroic, full of anger, and bleed without shedding tears. You can't be sad even if you are injured." Chen Fan decided not to sympathize with Feng Can's pretense of misery, and continued to prefer aside.
"It's not necessarily a bear." Gong Qing was on the sidelines to make up for it.
"Whether you're a hero or a bear, it's not about words, it depends on the materials." Feng Can said immediately when he saw Gong Qing getting angry.
"Okay, everyone, stop talking. The restaurant is here." Chen Fan raised his hand to stop Gong Qing who was about to speak. "Let him drink down and see if he can survive." Chen Fan turned to Gong Qing and said to Gong Qing who was standing beside him.
"good."
A few people entered Wangyue Tower with such great vigor and high spirits.
"Waiter, bring me two jugs of wine." Feng Can walked in and immediately said to the waiter in the shop.
"What good wine do you have here?" Chen Fan asked from the side. Chen Fan didn't have anything to worry about when asking this question. Through Feng Can's words, Chen Fan knew that the three of them hadn't had a drink together. Otherwise, he wouldn't have said, "I guess Gong Qing fell down as soon as he drank." That "estimate" must be taken away.
"Local Shanghai wine, twenty cents a bottle."
"Okay, three pots first. We have a friend named Hou Feng who arrived first. Where is he? We are with him." Chen Fan decided to increase the wine to three pots, one pot for himself and Gong Qing, and Feng Can One pot alone, others drink one first, and then order if there is not enough.
"Guys, please come inside. There is a private room at the back of our floor, and he is inside. Everyone, please follow me."
Chen Fan remembered that he went to the second floor last time. At that time, he was a little pity that the restaurant only had private seats and no private rooms. He didn't expect it to be in the backyard.
"Is this wine a bit expensive? Let's see if there are other wines?" said the fat man who was a little worried about money. Although it was not his treat, he still felt a little distressed when he saw that Chen Fan ordered three bottles of wine at once and spent sixty Wen. .
"This is our first time drinking. Let's drink good wine. We will try other wines next time. Feng Can, I ordered a pot for you alone. Gong Qing and I will use one pot, and the others will use one first. Pots, they are free to order them if they don’t have enough. We will drink as much as you want, and we will see who gets down." Since the last time he successfully collected Qi to drink in Cuixiang Pavilion, Chen Fan has greatly increased his confidence in his ability to drink. Anyway, This is my ability, it cannot be considered cheating, yes, it is not cheating, the wine is completely gone. Chen Fan got the affirmation in his heart and became more and more confident. He was unwavering and wanted to make the fat man drink him down.
The fat man swallowed his saliva and said, "How much do you drink as much as I drink?"
Chen Fan was about to agree, but immediately felt that something was wrong. The fat man was a bit wretched at this time. Why didn't he see any panic in his eyes? He looked sideways at Gong Qing and saw that Gong Qing also had a thoughtful expression. It seemed that the fat man's words had also aroused Gong Qing was alert, and he, who always spoke quickly, did not immediately answer the fat man's words.
"You won't give in, will you?" Seeing that the two of them didn't talk to each other, the fat man was a little anxious, so he was using a provocation method.
Oh, by the way, Chen Fan realized something was wrong. It was the fat man's swallowing action. When the fat man heard that there was good wine to drink, he swallowed subconsciously. Was he greedy for wine? Chen Fan felt that he would do this sometimes when he saw something he liked to eat. Sometimes he would do this subconsciously. If the fat man was really greedy for wine, wouldn't he drink just like we love eating vegetables? The more the merrier? Don't be careless.
"Feng Can, this is what's wrong with you. Look, before the drink starts, you start to use tricks and despise people's methods of provoking generals. If we agree to this, look at A Qing and Master Huang next to you. They are You will think that we have fallen into your trap. If we don't agree to this, you see, we have been in a relationship for so many years, and we still don't understand who you are. When it's okay, just one word, 'can', This is also a word when something happens,"
"Bear!" Gong Qing answered immediately.
"Yes, look, I didn't say it. Everyone knows that you are a 'bear', but you are a real hero today, a 'hero' of heroes. You, alone, want to challenge so many of us, I am not Damn, I'm sorry. As the host of the treat, if you fall down, Ah Qing and Master Huang will have no more wine to drink, what do you think we should do?"
"Wait, what does my collapse have to do with them?"
"You said, we drink as much as you drink. You want to single us out. I can't agree to this. If you stop drinking, don't you ask us to drink as much? If you say, we drink as much as you drink. , then I can agree, anyway, whether you drink it or not, it won’t affect our drinking."
"No, Fa Sheng, when did I say I wanted to fight one on one?"
