There are four pavilions on the top floor of Gouchen, namely, holding the moon, reaching for the stars, rising into the clouds, and playing with the rain. The door and wall in the pavilion are all exquisitely carved and beautifully decorated, and the furnishings are all elegant and heavy, showing that the owner put a lot of thought into it.
"Things are changing and the fate is unpredictable. Why should you succumb to temporary failure?" Mei Yuanchen comforted me. Since becoming a disciple of Qingxuan, Mei Yuanchen has been practicing Taoist martial arts principles every day. Subtly, Mei Yuanchen also has many thoughts about how to accomplish things by others.
"Haha, what do you mean by coincidence or misfortune? Forgive me, in my last letter, there was a sentence just like what you said!" After hearing Gongyang Psalm, I suddenly laughed in surprise. Seeing Mei Yuanchen's suspicious look, he fumbled around in his pocket, took out a letter, looked at the stamp, and handed it to Mei Yuanchen after confirming it was correct. He looked at him with excitement and said, "You can do it yourself. Look, line 9 on the next page! Did I trick you?" Mei Yuanchen felt something was wrong at first, but when he saw me praising me, he didn't seem to be shy about it, and he thought, could it really be such a coincidence? He reached out to receive the letter, took out the letter and read the next page. I saw a book in it, "Things are unpredictable, luck will change, my second brother and I may not be able to meet in the near future." It was indeed almost the same as what I just said, and I couldn't help but murmured, "What a coincidence! "
"Haha! I'll have to finish the cup with you, come on, come on, Yuanchen, you and I will have a drink together!" Gongyang praised my little brother, whom I haven't seen for a long time, and Mei Yuanchen and I are about the same age, quite "emotional" "Love", I thought in a trance that "forgive me may be like a distant dust", I felt greatly relieved in my heart, and said with a smile. The two filled their glasses with wine and clinked glasses to drink, enjoying themselves very much.
"Praise me, you are older than me, and your knowledge is far better than mine. What do you think of the current situation in Dahua?" The two are classmates, and after this incident, they felt more connected. Mei Yuanchen expressed his depression to Gong Yang. I asked.
Gongyang Psalm I held the cup with one hand, my expression became serious, I took a few breaths, poured myself a cup, and sighed, "The sick, old and weak stand against the pack of wolves!"
The sick, old and weak are surrounded by wolves. There are political disputes inside and wars and enemies outside. It is really like a group of old, weak and sick people surrounded by hungry wolves.
"Praise me, there is something I should not ask you?" Mei Yuanchen asked tentatively, remembering his father's worries.
"Haha, everyone in the world has doubts, but you are the only one to ask me!" Before Mei Yuanchen asked, I had already guessed Gongyang Song, shook his head and said with a sad smile. He hurriedly drank a cup again, and with two lines of clear tears slowly flowing down, he said in a sonorous voice, "Yuanchen, I have been away from the palace for many years, and I really don't know if the Gongyang family really has any intention to rebel. During the six years of living in the capital, I have always been grateful to the imperial court and the teacher. Friends, I will keep it in mind. If you know that the Gongyang family really wants to change the banner, I will die to persuade you, and you will never be an enemy of the imperial court in this life!" Mei Yuanchen saw that his eyes were piercing, and his gaze was as firm as substance. He was really decisive. He stood up from his seat, held his hands in salute and said, "Brother's righteousness is beyond shame!"
Gong Yangzhu, I accepted the gift calmly. After Mei Yuanchen finished the ceremony, he smiled and said, "Yuanchen, since we first met you in the hospital, I have always felt that I have a deep fate with you, and today we meet again, I feel even more so! Doubt me, Gongyang." There are many people who are against your will, but you are the only one who is being interviewed. This shows that you are upright and sincere. I admire you greatly! If you don't dislike it, why don't you and I swear by heaven and earth and become brothers with different surnames?" Mei Yuanchen Hearing his sincere words and sincere affection, I was deeply touched. I had already had a close friendship with him, so I immediately said happily, "How can it be wrong!"
"Excellent!" Gongyang praised me and said happily, stroking my palms.
The two held hands and walked to the window sill, knelt down on the ground, and kowtowed three times to the new moon in the sky.
Gongyang Psalm I swore, "The Emperor and Heaven are above! Today, I, Gongyang Psalm, and Mei Yuanchen are here to become brothers of the opposite sex. We will respect and trust each other in this life and will never betray each other! If we violate this oath, both humans and gods will be angry!"
When Mei Yuanchen saw that he had finished his oath, his heart was filled with excitement, and he continued, "Your Majesty, God! Today, I, Mei Yuanchen, and Gongyang Song and I are here to become brothers of the opposite sex. We worship him as our eldest brother. We will respect him and trust him in this life, and never Betrayal! If you violate this oath, both humans and gods will be outraged!"
"Good brother (elder brother)!" they held each other's arms and laughed. The two sat down and drank several glasses of wine one after another, and the sound of clinking glasses was heard.
"It's hard to enjoy the cup with a small amount! Yuanchen, can you still drink some?" Gongyang Songwo asked with a smile.
Mei Yuanchen has not drank much since he was a child and has never known how much he can drink. Today he drank seven or eight glasses. He only felt warm in his stomach but did not feel any discomfort. He replied, "I think I can drink more!"
"Very good!" Gong Yang sang me and said with a smile, and then ordered outside, "Bring another jar of "Whale Drink"!"
"Yes." The boy outside the door responded. After a while, five maids came slowly carrying food trays. On them were four dishes and a crystal clear white wine jar with a wide belly and a small mouth. The five people put down the food, wine, bowls and chopsticks one by one and stood on the left and right.
"Go down, you don't need to serve me here. The four people who came with me are on the ground floor right now. Serve them some good dishes and some jars of good wine." Gongyang Songgai ordered. Gongyang Psalm: I am really happy to have become sworn brothers with Mei Yuanchen today, and my followers are also happy with it.
The first maid heard this, softly agreed "yes", then bowed and left.
"Just in time, the dishes are on the table, Yuan Chen, how do you like it?" Gong Yang praised me for being in high spirits today, with a smile on my face. Mei Yuanchen smelled the aroma of the vegetables and instantly felt hungry. He smiled, and the two picked up their chopsticks and started eating.
"Well, it tastes really good! It's very much like the taste of my hometown in Qingxi!" Mei Yuanchen tasted the four dishes and found that all of them tasted like the old hometown. For a moment, he felt like he was back in his hometown and couldn't help but praise.
"Haha, you and I are indeed brothers of destiny! There are more than a hundred dishes in this southern restaurant, and I like the four things here the most. It's not just how delicious they are, it's actually a taste of an old place in a foreign country, as if I'm returning home, and I feel a little bit refreshed. It’s just Qinian.” Gongyang Songwo sighed. Mei Yuanchen felt this way and nodded in agreement.
I pushed the two wine glasses aside, placed the gilded porcelain bowl in the middle, tore off the wine seal, and poured wine into the two bowls. The aroma of wine overflowed for a while.
"In the vast sea of people, you and I can get to know each other and become brothers of the opposite sex. I am really happy in my heart. Yuanchen, come and drink this bowl of wine again!" Gongyang praised me with bold words.
"Haha, Yuan Chen is very happy to be able to bow down to my eldest brother! Do it!" After saying that, the two of them clinked their bowls and finished off the food. This gold-plated porcelain bowl contained at least a dozen glasses of wine. Mei Yuanchen drank so fast that he felt a burning sensation in his throat and abdomen. He hurriedly picked up his chopsticks and ate a few mouthfuls of food, then he felt better. .
"Brother is being rude! You eat some vegetables first, and we'll drink slowly." Gongyang Songwo said apologetically when he noticed that Mei Yuanchen seemed to be feeling unwell.
The longevity skill has the ability to protect the body and prevent harm. Although the wine is mellow, it is far from poisonous and cannot harm Mei Yuanchen at all. At first, he drank heavily and caused internal skin discomfort. After a few mouthfuls of hot food, he felt that nothing was wrong. He quickly waved his hands and said, "It's okay, it's okay!" I saw that he was clear-eyed and not drunk, so I said in a warm voice, "Gongyangzong." Yuan Chen, I didn’t expect that you have a good drinking capacity. However, this ‘whale drinking’ wine is quite strong. Even if you and I are excited, we should stop it in moderation. It will not be good if it hurts the body. "
Mei Yuanchen patted his belly and weighed the wine jar, and said with a smile, "Yuanchen is very happy to have a brother today. There is only four kilograms left in this jar of wine. If we brothers drink two kilograms each, we will be enough." It’s just a matter of fun!”
I was overjoyed after hearing the Gongyang Ode, and said with a smile, "Okay! What my brother said is absolutely true!" Then he lifted the wine jar and filled the two glasses with old wine. The two of them raised the bowls with both hands, looked at each other, touched the bowls, and drank it all. . After drinking, he slapped the table and shouted, "Happy!" The two looked at each other and laughed.
