The Eight Wise Kings do not squint.
The Eight Wise Kings did not waver.
The Eight Wise Kings are as stable as Mount Tai.
The Eight Wise Kings... swallowed their saliva.
His eyes were also a little wandering.
Who is perfect in this world?
Drinking, sex and wealth are always the same.
If you really encounter that kind of person, he will do nothing wrong, or he is just pretending, or the other party has a bigger plot, so you need to be careful and vigilant.
The Eight Wise Kings didn't care on the surface.
However, based on the intelligence collected by Feng Linyi and a reasonable inference after gathering, he should be very good at drinking.
It is said that when the Eight Wise Kings were young, they became alcoholic because of the death of their father.
After that, his temperament changed drastically, and he almost never drank alcohol from then on. Unless there was a banquet given by the official family, the Eight Wise Kings were rarely seen drinking on most occasions.
Only Feng Linwen knew that the monthly food consumption in the Eighth Sage King's house was somewhat unusual.
It seems a little more.
Feng Linhui once learned the brewing method of Zuiyang Peak, and the craftsmanship of brewing spiritual wine is probably far from being a master.
But to many mere mortals, he was already the brewmaster.
For this gourd of good wine, Feng Linwen emphasized the word "fragrant".
The aroma of wine spread out, not only seducing the wine bugs of the Eight Wise Kings next to them to rebel.
The drinkers who were listening to the music were even more greedy.
If you really step into this era, you will find out.
It's not like you can make some high-strength distilled wine and kill everyone.
The wine-making skills passed down from ancient times, once the process is refined to a certain level, even low-alcohol wine will be addictive. On the contrary, because the alcohol content is low, it can be drunk openly, which is more in line with the pursuit of Song people at this time.
The reason why those distilled high-quality liquors are popular is because they are promoted by ethnic minorities from the north. The highly distilled liquor took shape in the Yuan Dynasty and became popular in the Qing Dynasty.
Therefore, the wine produced by Feng Lin's Wine Gourd was undoubtedly the kind that most suited the people of the Song Dynasty at that time.
It's fragrant, smooth, and enough to drink to a certain extent.
"Waiter! Do you have any beef?" Feng Linwen took a big gulp of wine and let the amber liquor splash down onto his clothes, continuing to emit a fascinating fragrance. The envious eyes around him were full of pain and pity.
In ancient times, cattle and horses were important laborers and should never be slaughtered under normal circumstances.
In novels such as Water Margin, in order to highlight the boldness and generosity of a certain character, beef and wine are used as inevitable props. This is actually a kind of "pretend" joke, just like in modern novels, the protagonist always owns a luxury car and a mansion.
Of course, this is Bianjing City, and sometimes there is some bison meat or the beef that has been slaughtered and divided after it died unexpectedly is sent in.
Even so, they are often bought first by wealthy families.
A monk just drinks in public.
He even wanted to eat meat, and it was beef.
The Eight Wise Kings frowned, feeling that they needed to say something more.
"Master, if he violates the precepts like this, he is not afraid of the rules and regulations?" The Eight Wise King's words were not serious, after all, they were not in line with his personality.
Feng Linwen burst out laughing: "Without Emperor Wu of Liang, Xiao Yan, who among the monks in the world wouldn't eat meat or drink alcohol? I think the Buddha would have eaten too!"
"In this way, later generations changed the Buddha's teachings due to the pressure of power, and I am returning to the original and returning to the original, what is wrong?"
Feng Linwen's words can be described as treasonous.
Those around me who heard these remarks seemed to be disdainful.
It fell into the ears of the Eight Wise King, but it made him feel a lot of emotions inexplicably. On the contrary, he invisibly had a better impression of the arrogant monk in front of him.
"Hahaha! What the master said is quite novel. If you don't refuse, there is still some beef in my palace. Master, why don't you come to my palace to talk about it?" The Eight Wise Kings sent out the invitation.
Feng Linwen smiled slightly and said generously: "In this case, the young monk will bother the prince."
The first step goal is achieved.
Lowering your vigilance is just a way of setting the stage.
Providing the wine that the other party wants is the bait.
Saying you want to eat beef is giving the other party an opportunity to invite.
The last words he said made the Eight Wise Kings develop some empathy.
It seemed like a simple communication, but in fact it was full of Feng Linwen's scheming.
Sitting on the Eighth Sage King's carriage, he followed him into the Eighth Sage King's Mansion.
Feng Linwen didn't look or ask too much.
It's like he's just waiting to eat beef.
The Eighth Prince holds a banquet, which is not complicated.
In addition to the promised pieces of sauced beef, sliced and served, there are also a few stacks of side dishes, as well as some common fruits and vegetables.
Nothing luxurious at all.
"Master, forgive me! I have always been frugal in my palace, but now I have to entertain guests, and there are not many good dishes." The Eighth Sage King said to Feng Linhui with a smile.
Feng Linyi clasped his hands together and said calmly: "There is wine, meat, and vegetables, why is it so thin?"
After saying that, he opened his wine gourd and poured wine into the two wine glasses in front of him.
The Eight Sage King's eyes began to drift a little unconsciously.
Staring closely at the wine glass pushed over by Feng Linyi.
Subconsciously, he sniffed again.
When the words of rejection came to his lips, he couldn't help but swallow them back.
"It's rare to talk to such a wonderful person like the master, so today I will make an exception and have a drink." After the Eighth Sage King said this, he stared at Feng Linwen's chest.
Obviously, he still covets the wine gourd in Feng Linyi's arms, and one cup cannot satisfy him.
Feng Linwen also consciously took out the wine gourd and placed it on the table.
Between the drinks, the wine was in full swing.
At first, the two of them just talked about the customs and customs of the world, and gradually they talked about Buddhist anecdotes, and then slowly turned to the court.
At this point, Feng Linmo began to restrain himself.
The Eight Wise Kings seemed to have accidentally changed the topic to political affairs many times, but Feng Linmo restrained himself in time and stopped talking in depth.
"Master seems to have taboos? Could it be that he can't trust me?" After drinking for a while, the Eight Wise King's disguise was slightly removed. Although his words seemed a bit arrogant, he showed his true temperament.
Feng Linwen smiled bitterly and said: "I am a poor monk who is outside the world. I don't want to participate in the world of mortals. Wine, meat, and the ancient Buddha with green lantern are enough."
However, from the previous conversation with Feng Linyi, the Eighth Sage King felt that the monk in front of him was a very talented person, and he had been eager to recruit and conquer him for a long time, so he had just tested him repeatedly.
When he heard this, he couldn't help but retort: "You can only be born in the world. Although you are well-informed, monk, you have no grasp of the world and the authority above. If you don't have such experience, you will see Isn’t the world incomplete?”
"I heard that the Buddha was also a prince of a country in the past. He also experienced all the prosperity before letting go of everything and attaining enlightenment under the bodhi tree."
"The master is a man of great wisdom and should understand the truth behind it."
When Feng Linwen heard this, he knew that the solicitation and temptation of the Eight Wise Kings were actually half true and false.
He refused again and again.
He just agreed to come to the Eighth Prince's house more often to drink and chat with him.
More haste less speed.
Now that he has become the staff of the Eight Wise Kings, although he has entered his camp, if he wants to enter the core, he may not be able to do it without going through the test for several years.
Therefore, Feng Linwen finally needs to create an opportunity for the relationship to progress rapidly.
