Chu Huan looked at the man, only to see that the man was wearing a long gown, and he looked about forty years old, but he was unkempt and a bit sloppy. At this time, he was drunk and vomited, making him look very embarrassed.

Huang Lan frowned, glanced at Chu Huan, saw Chu Huan's expression was calm, and said loudly: "Come on, take Mr. Ximen back to rest first...!" Two servants came over from the side, and then He wanted to go forward to help that person, but that person pushed him away, but he was still holding a wine jug in his hand, staggering towards the hall.

Tonight's banquet, although Chu Huan did not let Xu Shao and others attend the banquet together, but he still brought some guards and warriors with him. There were warrior guards outside the hall door. To stop him, Chu Huan coughed heavily, and the guard immediately stepped aside, and the man staggered into the hall. Everyone in the hall had different shapes, and most of them showed disgust.

"Mr. Ximen, you're drunk." Huang Lan seemed to be restraining her temper, but her tone was calm: "Go home and rest first, how about you?"

The man laughed, raised his hand and stretched out a finger, and nodded towards Huang Lan. He gave a weird laugh, and then clicked more than a dozen times, even Chu Huan. He frowned, but he heard that Mr. Ximen laughed and said: "It's lively, true and false, up and down, demons...!"

"Crazy Ximen, what do you mean by that?" A person in the hall suddenly stood up, and said sharply, "You are crazy elsewhere, no one stopped you, what is the occasion today, how can you allow yourself to be presumptuous here?"

Mr. Ximen smiled instead of anger, and said leisurely: "After the rain, the wind is like a dream, and the sky and the earth are dark at night. Nanshan doesn't appear, and I don't hear the songs of fishermen and woodcutters." There was another strange laugh, many people shook their heads, and some even shook their heads. Discussing softly at the side: "Seeing him coming to perfunctory today, I know that there will be troubles, and this kind of lunatic should not be allowed in."

When Mr. Ximen heard the man's voice, he immediately turned his head and asked with some ambiguity, "What did you say?"

The man was stunned, and was stared at by Mr. Ximen, and his expression was a little embarrassed. Seeing Mr. Ximen walking towards him step by step, the man's face was a little flustered, and he forced a smile: "Xi...Mr. Ximen ...!"

At this time, Chu Huan remained calm, with his hands behind his back, watching quietly, with great interest.

Mr. Ximen approached, stared at the man, suddenly shook his head and said: "I don't know what to say...!" He suddenly raised his hand, pointed at the top of the man's head, and slapped it down.

The man was caught off guard, and was hit on the head by Mr. Ximen. He yelled "Ouch", and then hurriedly shouted: "Ximen... Ximen Yi, you... what are you doing?"

Mr. Ximen laughed, turned around and left without saying a word.

Everyone watched Mr. Ximen leave helplessly, and when he disappeared, there was an uproar in the surrounding area, and there were many discussions. Naturally, there was nothing good about Mr. Ximen.

Seeing Mr. Ximen leave, Huang Lan smiled awkwardly: "Chu Du, this... hey, it's really rude. This person is not invited, but...but he came to the door on his own initiative. But it’s not easy to drive him away.”

Chu Huan had already sat down at this time, and said with a smile: "Since this Mr. Ximen can sit near the door, he must not be an ordinary person. Why does he have such a temper?"

"Chu Du, this man is an extremely insane lunatic." A person next to him said: "His name is Ximen Yi, but everyone calls him Ximen lunatic. Hey, the Ximen family was the No. 1 family in Tongzhou at the beginning. Such an unworthy child ruined the family... You see, Ximen's family is now poor and destitute, isn't it all the fault of this man!"

Immediately, a person said: "You can't say that, Ximen Yi really insulted the ancestors, but let's talk about one thing and another. Although he is extravagant and arrogant, he is not a bad person. It's all due to extravagance, and everyone knows this in their hearts, so we can't say that about him."

Chu Huan was very curious when he heard the words, and asked with a smile, "It seems that Mr. Ximen is quite a legend." He asked Huang Lan, "Master Huang, what's going on?"

Huang Lan hesitated for a moment, and finally said softly: "The governor of Chu doesn't know something. Ximen Yi's first six generations started to settle in Tongzhou. At that time, his ancestors were officials in the previous dynasty and came to Tongzhou. Tongzhou took root and fell leaves, and Ximen Yi's father's generation was an official in the previous dynasty...Speaking of which, the Ximen family used to be a real famous family in Tongzhou, and it also won the hearts of the people. By the time of his father Ximenshu, the previous dynasty had perished and Tongzhou was in chaos...!" After a pause, seeing that Chu Huan listened carefully, he continued: "Ximenshu took in refugees and asked for his own money to help the people. We are all grateful for his character, and we all follow his arrangements."

"Oh?" Chu Huan nodded slightly and said, "In this case, the Ximen family is a family of good people who have accumulated virtue and done good deeds."

"That's true." Huang Lan sighed: "Knowing that today, when we mention those ancestors of the Ximen family, we are all in awe, but... Ximen Yi really doesn't have the virtue of his ancestors." Shaking his head He smiled wryly and said: "When Ximen Yi was young, he was very clever. Not only did he have a photographic memory, he read a lot of poetry and books, and he often made surprising remarks. At that time, many people thought that Ximen Yi would definitely make a big difference."

"That's true." A person on the side said: "Ximen Yi was called a prodigy when he was young, and some people even thought that he would be able to appear in the future... Now it seems that it's just a joke. Child prodigy, now he's just a psychopath...!"

Huang Lan nodded and said: "When Ximen Yi was young, he left Tongzhou and traveled around. When the Qin State was established, he was already in his early twenties. He should have taken the exam to find a way out, but... this person is not bad. , Every time the scientific examination, he suddenly disappeared, and he never participated in the scientific examination for several consecutive years, and he has no fame."

Chu Huan asked suspiciously: "Scholars take scientific examinations as a major event in their lives, how could he do that?"

"So he is a lunatic." Huang Lan sighed: "Not only does he not do scientific research, but he likes to linger in the place of fireworks. When he was young, as long as he was missing, he would be in the brothel in all likelihood. This person is a scholar. , but he does not associate with scholars, and when he occasionally appears in the academy, he likes to speak wild words and ridicule others, and later no one wants to associate with him, so he has become a loner."

Chu Huan nodded slightly, and Huang Lan continued: "However, if this person's character is corrupt, that's not the case. After he inherited the Ximen family, he held the huge property of the Ximen family and indulged in sensuality. No one can persuade him, but every time Once there was a severe drought in Tongzhou, but he gave generously and generously to help the victims... Up to now, he only has two brick houses and a few acres of Susukida left to live on... .!"

Chu Huan was surprised: "Could it be that all his family wealth is donated?"

Everyone looked at each other, and Huang Lan said: "Except for some that he himself lost, most...most of them were actually donated. He is in his early forties now, but he is single and doesn't even have a wife." There are three ways to be unfilial if you marry into the family, and having no offspring is the greatest, this Ximen is determined not to marry a wife and have children, Ximen's family will really be ruined on him."

Chu Huan said with a smile: "This is a strange man."

Everyone looked at each other, Huang Lan laughed and said: "Chu Du, let's not mention him. That's right, you mentioned Juntian earlier, but you didn't know Chu Du...!"

Chu Huan had already waved his hands and said with a smile: "Forget it, the governor has had a few more drinks today, and his head is a little dizzy. I will not mention this matter today, and I will talk about it later." After scanning the crowd, he said: "It is already late, the governor There are still trivial things to deal with, and I am honored to be invited by you today, and I am really happy to have a drink and talk with you, and I hope that you will help me in the future and help me a lot."

Everyone said yes, but Chu Huan had already stood up and said, "If that's the case, the governor will leave first, you go on, don't worry about me...!"

All the gentry felt a little disappointed in their hearts. They invited Chu Huan to come here today. Firstly, they wanted to build a good relationship. Second, they wanted to hear from Chu Huan about some of Tongzhou’s next political strategy. Chu Huan had just spoken, and it seemed that He wanted to get straight to the point and mention the Land Equalization Order, but it was suddenly stopped because Ximen Yi went crazy. Now that Chu Huan was leaving, everyone couldn't say much, and they didn't dare to stop him.

Huang Lan and others escorted Chu Huan to the door, where a group of soldiers were waiting outside, Chu Huan exchanged a few words, someone had brought Lei Huo Qilin over, Chu Huan got on his horse, and under the protection of the guards, he bid farewell to everyone and went Zhizhou government to go.

Walking out of the long street and turning to another street, I heard singing from the side of the street. The singing style is not very good, but the lyrics have a special charm.

"Tage looks far to the east of the Yangtze River, and the sea is horizontal on the east side of the Yangtze River. Thousands of miles of white waves are surging, and thousands of miles of vast winds. The rippling jade lamp makes waves, but the heart is hard to calm down. Jiang Shang hooked the Wei River bank until the flying bear fell into a dream... ..!"

Chu Huan followed the sound and looked over, only to see a person lying on the side of the wall on the side of the street, holding a jug in his hand, singing and drinking at the same time. He recognized this person as Ximen Yi who had left earlier.

"Jiang Shang went straight to the bank of the Wei River until the flying bear fell into a dream...!" Chu Huan groaned loudly before laughing, "But I don't know who is Jiang Shang, and where is King Wen?"

Ximen Yi was still lying on the ground, and he didn't want to look at Chu Huan. He just said, "Without King Wen, there would be no Jiang Shang. With King Wen, he has to find Jiang Shang by himself...!"

Chu Huan laughed and said, "It seems that the wine in the jug has been exhausted, why do you still carry the jug?"

"Jiang Shang has no bait on his hook, why is he still fishing?"

Chu Huan got off his horse, stepped forward, and said: "Jiang has no hook for bait, and he only wants to catch the emperor. The pot is empty, sir, but the governor is puzzled."

Ximen Yi turned over and lay down on his side with his back to Chu Huan, without speaking.

"I still have a few jars of good wine over there." Chu Huan said with a smile: "If you want to, sir, I wonder if you can go and have a few drinks together? Although the singing is good, but if there are people who don't understand the reason, it can't be called a good song. If wine is not tasted by people who understand wine, it cannot be called good wine.”

Ximen Yi turned over and sat up with disheveled hair. He stared at Chu Huan without saying a word. Chu Huan and Ximen Yi looked at each other and said with a light smile, "Mr. So drunk stop?"
