Water Margin: Lu Bu sits on Mount Liang

Chapter 46

The excitement in Chaijin Manor lasted until midnight. This time, the banquet at Chai’s family opened the eyes of the ignorant bumpkins. What is swimming in the river, what is running in the mountains, and what is flying in the sky? There are still green vegetables and vegetables to eat in these cold winters, which makes people feel envious, and the cook of the Chai family is not ordinary. Can't stop talking.

Chai Jin was also very drunk, and was staggering towards his bedroom with the help of two servants.

"Oh, my lord, how can you be so drunk after eating and drinking." Over there, the old butler Chai had to go back to the house to rest after finishing his work, and when he saw Chai Jin on the way, he couldn't help but stumbled and screamed in distress.Chai Jin likes to make friends with heroes in the world, and whenever he meets, he will sit and drink with him, but he is also very generous, so it is rare to be so drunk.

The old butler is said to have been a servant of the Chai family in his ancestors, and he has been passed down for generations. He has watched Chai Jin grow up, and he looks at Chai Jin as he treats his own nephew. Seeing him drunk | Naturally, his heart aches .

"I...I'm fine." Chai Jin looked quite drunk, his originally fair face flushed better than Guan Gong: "Gao... happy, I drank two more glasses, um... hehe, I drank two more glasses."

The old housekeeper stomped his feet, secretly thinking that he shouldn't stop him with a loud noise, and quickly waved his hand to the servant supporting Chai Jin: "What are you doing in a daze, why don't you help Mr. Lang to sleep in the house."

"Steward... Butler." Chai Jin was supported to walk forward, but he wanted to look back, but he was so dizzy that he couldn't turn his head, and he just leaned back hard, making the two people who were supporting him helpless. Don't use much strength to support him.

"Hey, I'm here." The old housekeeper hurriedly followed two steps after hearing this.

"Don't look at me drunk, in my heart..." Chai Jin pointed to himself: "I understand, I just drank too much."

"Yes, yes, yes." The old housekeeper smiled wryly, the drunken people are all smooth asses, they can only stroke along, not against, otherwise some people will be annoyed.

"Don't worry~ I... am not drunk~"

"Oh, yes, you're not drunk."

The two coaxed each other, and soon came to Chai Jin's room. The old butler asked two servants to help him in and put him on the bed, and waved them out.

He helped Chai into his legs, shoes, socks and coat, covered him with a quilt, turned around and poured water back: "Lang Jun, Lang Jun, drink this water first."

"En." Chai Jin narrowed his eyes, struggled to half sit up, and drank from the hand of the old housekeeper: "Huh! Butler, have you found out why this group of people came here?"

The old butler put the bowl away, and said, "I asked clearly, I said I'm going to Jingdong to open a mountain and set up a cabinet."

"I asked the same thing, but it's strange." Chai Jin took a breath in a daze: "The thieves from Liao and Hebei are going to come to Jingdong, heh... good... laugh... good... laugh..."

The old butler didn't speak. Seeing that Chai Jin's voice was getting lower and lower, and slowly fell asleep, he extinguished the candle, turned around and walked out.

……

As the moon sets and the sun rises, snowflakes float in the sky again, small and white, like blown pear petals, falling slowly and scattered.

Two people came out of the greenish-yellow pine forest. The first one was dressed in a white winter suit and was dressed as a scholar. The funniest thing was that Shang was holding a folding fan in the winter, but maybe it was too cold, so he tucked his hands in In the sleeve, only half of the folding fan is left outside, without any romantic appearance.

The other person was very tall, the former was a normal person whose figure only reached his chest, had an honest and honest face, was wearing a yellow dress, and was walking feebly.

"Brother, brother, isn't that a restaurant in front?" The man in white was also tired and hungry, looking at the hotel in front of him, he couldn't help but patted the arm of the person beside him and shouted.

The tall man looked up, his eyes lit up, and a smile appeared on his honest face: "Finally, there is a place to eat and rest. If we continue walking, we will die of exhaustion in this icy world."

The man in white gave him a squinting look, and sniffled his nose: "How can this little snowflake be called a world of ice and snow, but it's just a little bit of wind...Ah Choe...Han..."

The tall man smiled honestly: "What brother said is true."

"..." The white-clothed man's face was hesitant, and he kept urging: "Hurry up, hurry up, go to the restaurant and have a glass of wine and some soup."

While talking, the two came to this wine shop, and saw a few idlers sitting on a few tables and chairs in the shop, and three or five bartenders who screened wine were moving around in a hurry, it seemed that they had just entered Had some food and drink.

"Shopkeeper, storekeeper." The man in white and the tall man found a place to sit and shouted loudly.

"Here, come, what do you want, guest officer?" A clever bartender hurried over, wiped his hands and asked bowed.

The white-clothed man thought he had an idea, so he opened his mouth and said, "A pot of hot wine, a plate of pickles, and three pancakes. Go quickly, and I'll count the money with you after eating."

Just as the bartender agreed, the shop owner looked at them carefully, and stopped the bartender: "You two, where are you going?"

The man in white was a little annoyed when he saw it, and he slapped the table: "Why don't you let him go, I'm afraid I won't be able to do it if I don't have money."

He said to the tall man, "Take the money, take the money out quickly."

The tall man was also good-tempered. Hearing this, he took out a few copper coins from his pocket and put them on the table. The man in white patted the table with a haughty look on his face: "Look, you have money! It's not for nothing."

The owner of the store smiled: "You two misunderstood me. If you dare to ask me, are you going to Chai Jin, Chai Daguan?"

The man in white and the tall one looked at each other, then turned to look at the shop owner and said, "So what?"

The owner of the store was not annoyed either: "Since it's so big, this store can't sell you two wines. Chai Daguan often said to me, 'But if there are heroes from the rivers and lakes or prisoners from the rivers and lakes, you can ask him to vote for me. I will support him myself.' Now if I sell wine to you to eat, you two will turn red from eating, and he will not help you any more because you have to pay for it. I really mean it."

The man in white's eyes lit up, his face suddenly turned rosy, and he hurriedly bowed his hands and asked, "May I ask where is Zhuang Zi, the official Chai?"

The owner of the shop felt a little funny when he saw his fronts and backs: "It's only in front, about three or two miles away, and there is a big stone bridge around the corner, that is the big villa."

The tall man wanted to say something, but the man in white put the copper coins into his arms, stood up and said, "Thank you, the shop owner, for letting me know, Xiao Ke will leave."

Turning to the tall man, he said, "Brother, let's go to Chai Daguan's village."

The tall man was still hungry, but the man in white had already left, so he had no choice but to stand up, thank the shopkeeper and chase after him.

Seeing that the two of them were persuaded to leave by the owner, the bartender was stunned for a moment: "Shopkeeper, this, this, this is not doing business anymore? There is no way to drive the customers out."

The owner of the shop smiled, patted the bartender on the shoulder and said, "I'm a fool when you are the shopkeeper? These two are dressed like poor ghosts and only have a few coins. They went to the mansion of Mr. Chai, When I tell him that the housekeeper was introduced by me, at least I can get two taels of silver, which is not a hundred times better than earning their poor money? Learn hard!"

After speaking, he turned and went to the counter to settle the bill.

Only the bartender was left stunned, and after a while he managed to say: "Boss, wow!"

The man in white and the tall man hurried out of the hotel, and found Chaijin Manor according to the owner's words. Perhaps it was cold and everyone was hiding at home, and there was no one outside. The tall one said, "Brother, go and call the door."

The tall man responded, stepped forward and knocked the door, and after a while, the side door opened, and a farmer came out, looked the two of them up and down and asked, "May I ask who you are looking for?"

The man in white quickly jumped over the tall one and stepped forward, "The two of us came from the west of Beijing. I heard that Mr. Chai is a hero in the world, so I came here to pay a visit."

"Oh~" The farmer nodded: "Come in, I will take you to meet my husband."

After saying that, he turned around and entered the door, muttering: "They are all cast in the village, but this momentum is much worse than that of the previous group."

The white-clothed man and the tall man didn't hear it either, and thanked them from behind, followed them into the door, followed the man's lead to a wing room, but saw that the interior was luxuriously furnished, with scarlet furniture and beautiful curtains , an Eight Immortals table is placed in the middle of the hall, with pastries and a pot of tea on it.

"The two distinguished guests are waiting here first. Please feel free to have refreshments here. My husband will be here in a while." The farmer turned around and left after speaking.

The man in white and the tall man sat on the chairs and looked at some cakes on the table. They were really hungry, so they picked them up and ate them with herbal tea. The cakes were so choking that they drank a stomach full of herbal tea. Going down, Qiqi shuddered.

"Hahaha, what kind of wind is blowing today, bringing the two heroes to the humble house." After eating about five or six cakes, a burst of laughter came from outside the house, and then Chai Jin, dressed in brocade clothes, walked into the wing room and saluted: "The two great masters came to welcome you, and begged for forgiveness."

The man in white and the tall man touched their mouths quickly, and the pastry crumbs fell down immediately, and they quickly worshiped: "Xiao Ke, a gentleman in white (the villain touches the sky and Du Qian) has seen Mr. Chai. Because he smelled it It was said in the hotel before that there is a good man, Mr. Chai, who is recruiting talents here, so I am here to agree with you."

Chai Jin lifted the two of them up with a smile on his face, and said politely: "I have been admiring you for a long time, please get up quickly, you two heroes."

Wang Lun didn't know it was out of politeness, so he said with a smile on his face, "The high officials know me too?"

Chai Jin's smile didn't change, the corners of his eyes twitched, he wondered where it was coming from, and mumbled: "Zhe Mo was told by someone, and he didn't know the details."

Wang Lun still had a smile on his face: "Xiao Ke and the two still have a bit of a reputation in the west of Beijing."

Du Qian glanced at Wang Lun in astonishment.

Wang Lun didn't look at it, and continued: "Xiao Ke has been familiar with the books of sages since he was a child, learned essays at the age of three, can recite hundreds of Tang poems at the age of five, and was admitted to Tongsheng at the age of seven. The reputation of this child prodigy was also very famous at that time. .”

Du Qian thought for a while, and nodded honestly. Brother Wang's reputation as a child prodigy is indeed good, but he has grown up... Hey~
The corners of Chai Jin's eyes twitched. Seeing him wearing a scholar's attire, he thought he was walking around the rivers and lakes in disguise, but he never thought he was a scholar.

Wang Lun was still babbling there: "Xiao Ke only saw through the world when he planned to take the examination for a scholar. Every one who passed the exam had to follow the wrong path, and none of them had real talents and learning. Xiao Ke was disappointed in this dark world. To the extreme, so determined to reverse the Song Dynasty."

"Oh?" Chai Jin's eyes lit up when he heard it. He wasn't interested in learning from Wang Lun's real talents, but he was very happy to block the officials of the Song Dynasty. It really scratched his itch: "I don't know how Brother Wang is going to oppose him?"

Wang Lun clenched his fists, his eyes were blood red, and he gave a strange smile: "Find a place to fall grass, and when the time is right, break down several of his state capitals, and let the official sitting on the dragon chair see, his rule What do the officials look like?"

Chai Jin's smile became more and more sincere, no matter whether he is a Jianghu man or a down-and-out scholar, as long as you can add trouble to Song Guan'er, then you will be my half-brother, Chai Jin!
