Pingyang Fu of the Red Chamber

Chapter 182
Chunlou,

fourth floor,

Zhang Jinyu saw Chen Ruiwen, the young frontier general, who was also young and vigorous, full of courage, handsome and resolute, with a strong figure, and he liked him a lot.

"Okay, my lord will accompany you, come."

The waiter at the side hurried over and said;
"Your Majesty, what are your orders?"

Zhang Jinyu stretched out her hand, pointed to the wine cup on the table and said,

"Go, change these into big bowls, and put them on for every general present here. After drinking, let go of the drink. How can you use such a small wine cup, even a woman."

After speaking, Zhang Jinyu threw the wine cup in his hand back, and the wine cup fell to the ground with a "bang", and the wine spilled all over the floor.

"See what you don't hurry up,"

"It's Lord Hou."

The waiter also trembled.

Zhang Jinyu's unrestrained movements made the Marquis of Xiangyang who was sitting beside him a little dumbfounded.

What is the meaning of this, but what to do, although I can drink, I feel a little uneasy seeing such a scene.

"Okay! It's still Luo Yunhou's boldness, let's drink a big bowl of wine and eat meat, that's what men do."

Immediately afterwards, Chen Ruiwen threw out the wine cup in his hand.

Niu Jizong narrowed his eyes, and a thoughtful look flashed in his eyes. What is Luo Yunhou's intention? Could it be that such a contrived movement is also a temptation.

But the movement in the hands is not slow, and he just threw the wine cup, agreeing,
"Okay, according to Luo Yunhou's words, it's true, how can I use this little wine cup to act like a daughter when I'm so happy today."

"That's right, it's not pleasant to drink from such a small wine cup."

"That's right, our frontier army eats meat and drinks everywhere we go."

Others also echoed, and in the end Liu Fang also meant something and said boldly.

How could Zhang Jinyu not hear it.

Looking at the group of frontier generals in front of him, they are all the heirs of the Duke's Mansion. These are family friends since childhood, and the relationship is so closely connected, no wonder they have a place in Dawu.

What is this like, poking a nest, tsk tsk, it's difficult to fix, and this Niu Jizong also has two brushes that can pull this group of people together, which shows that the Duke of Zhen is the noble man, and the other dukes only Can be attached to the surrounding.

At this time, the waiter came over with some exquisite porcelain in wine jars and large bowls, and said respectfully;
"Master Hou, all generals, the big bowl has been brought and washed, and the little master has brought a few altars of high-quality sake and knives, please adults to enjoy."

"reward."

Seeing such a winking waiter, Zhang Jinyu also had a good impression in his heart, and directly took out the scattered silver from his sleeve and threw it over, the waiter caught it in his hand and thanked him again and again;
"Thank you Lord Hou, thank you Lord Hou."

Zhang Jinyu waved his hand to signal to go down, and the latter immediately went down and left the place.

Zhang Jinyu directly took a jar of spirits and burned the knife, and then picked up Kaifeng mud.

A strong smell of wine wafted out, which could be regarded as spicy. Zhang Jinyu was taken aback for a moment. The wine was almost forty degrees, so I don't know if it is intoxicating or not, so let's try it first.

Then the bowls were set up once and then poured up. As soon as the flowing water filled several bowls, Niu Jizong and others applauded loudly, and then each took a large bowl of wine.

Zhang Jinyu said;
"Come on, brothers, although I haven't met you before, but I wish I could see each other soon, and drink together again today. Come on, it's time to understand, let's do it!"

"Dry."

"Dry."

Everyone gulped it down. They drank the hot spirits and warmed their bodies. Of course, they were also confused. The alcohol was a bit strong. Hou Baiguangju in Xiangyang blushed immediately after drinking it, and his hands trembled slightly.

Zhang Jinyu was drunk and saw that the people sitting here were not small-minded people. Will they try to "alliance" as frontier soldiers.

After thinking about it, you are right, you will never be able to get around these frontier snakes at the border, so you might as well point it out yourself.

With such an atmosphere, how can there be only one bowl? Without further ado, Zhang Jinyu filled another bowl, and continued;
"Everyone, we are fellow nobles, and we will support each other in the future. Even if we can't help each other, don't make trouble. We are both frontier soldiers, and our lips are dead and our teeth are cold. Do you think so?"

As soon as this word comes out,
Niu Jizong and the others changed their expressions, and their eyes met.

Niu Jizong first stood up directly and said loudly;
"Well said, Master Hou, I never thought that Master Hou would have such a mind. I, Niu Jizong, said it again. If you dare to eat the inside and outside, you must die. Hou Ye, brother, I recognize you as a brother. We will have more time in the future. "

Liu Fang and the others also stood up and said;

"Okay, well said, since Master Hou has made it clear, we will not hide it, at least our frontier army has the final say outside the customs."

"That's right, I thought Master Hou would disdain being with us people, but I never thought it would be like this. My brother misunderstood Master Hou."

"that is."

Everyone was also impassioned, and Hou Baiguangju in Xiangyang also smiled bitterly. He was actually pulled into the game and had to stand up to speak.
"Since we're talking about this, even though this Marquis is not in the frontier army, he can still be regarded as an old relative in the noble family. As long as he can help, he will definitely not shirk."

There was another burst of applause, and the frontier army also looked happy, never expecting such unexpected joy.

Zhang Jinyu also looked at the Marquis of Xiangyang thoughtfully, but he hadn't figured out what he meant so far, so he took one step at a time,
"In that case, gentlemen, do it!"

"Dry."

"Dry!"

It was another bowl, and the aftertaste of this wine was good, even Zhang Jinyu felt a little bit, let alone the Marquis of Xiangyang, who didn't seem to hold a lot of alcohol, and sat down on the chair directly after drinking this bowl.

After taking a breath, Zhang Jinyu gave way to the food.

After everyone finished eating, Zhang Jinyu asked directly;
"Brother Bai, I see that you came here today to see Ben Hou, do you have something to say?"

Xiangyang Hou Baiguangju took a sip of tea to relax, and then he breathed a sigh of relief and said;

"Of course there is something to do, Marquis, brother, I don't have the capacity to drink like you. I can't drink this strong wine, I can't drink it."

"It's easy to say, don't drink."

Zhang Jinyu covered the jar of spirits, and then opened the seal of sake,
"Is it possible to drink this?"

"to make,"

While the two were talking, Niu Jizong and the others also listened attentively, and when they saw that they had something to discuss, they asked;
"Second Marquis, do you need me to avoid the taboo?"

Xiangyang Hou Baiguangju waved his hand to indicate no, and said;

"It's not a big deal, it's just a private matter of this Marquis. I'm asking Luo Yunhou if I have something to do."

Zhang Jinyu was also curious when he heard it, and asked why he wanted a Lord Hou to talk about it in person;
"Brother Bai, why do you need to come here in person?"

"Hey, brother Zhang's words are wrong. It's a courtesy to come here to see you. If I don't come, I don't have the face to ask you to do something."

Bai Guangju said a little drunkenly.

Liu Fang was a little impatient, and said;
"What's the matter with Lord Hou, tell me and think of a solution together."

"correct."

"It's not a big deal, but I just want to ask, Brother Zhang, my Bai family members want to leave the Shangguan, what do you think?"

When Zhang Jinyu heard that this was the case, it was a good thing, because there is a shortage of you outside the customs to transport supplies, and when she looked up, everyone was looking at her with watery eyes.

Zhang Jinyu also smiled and said;
"Everyone, today is considered as our brothers hit it off, and I don't want to favor each other. All of you can go outside the customs. As long as all the goods go outside the customs, I, Luo Yunhou, will buy them at the current price. There is a lot of money, but outside the customs. Business and tax are essential, so let’s fight first and then pay respects.”

As soon as Zhang Jinyu finished speaking, the atmosphere became even more enthusiastic, especially the generals of the frontier army. They knew that the grasslands were very profitable, but they were all poor because of the lack of suitable business routes. With gratitude in his heart, his eyes changed slightly when he looked at Zhang Jinyu, and it was only at this moment that he initially recognized it.

"Master Hou, don't say much thank you, just this last bowl of wine, brother, I'll do it first."

Niu Jizong stood up without saying a word, just picked up the bowl and drank it all in one gulp, and then the others drank it one by one, and the Marquis of Xiangyang also wanted to drink, but was held back by Zhang Jinyu.

"Brother Bai, don't drink anymore. I don't know what else to get drunk for a while."

Zhang Jinyu took Bai Guangju's wine bowl and put it down, while Bai Guangju looked at Zhang Jinyu for a long time and smiled directly;

"What a Luo Yunhou, interesting, haha. Thank you brother."

And on the other side,
The remaining three generals of the frontier army occupied a table by themselves, drinking wine and not answering each other, but their eyes looked at Zhang Jinyu from time to time, their eyes flickering and they didn't know what to think.

But Jia Lian let Bai Shaofeng into the box,
The four of them also sat down according to priority, Bai Shaofeng asked when he saw the young man beside him;
"Second brother Lian, who is this little brother?"

Seeing outsiders, Jia Baoyu was a little uncomfortable and didn't speak. Jia Zhen also didn't look too good, and only Jia Lian said with a smile;

"Come on, let me introduce you. This is Jia Baoyu, the direct descendant of the Rong Guo government master."

When Bai Shaofeng heard it, his eyes glowed, and he said curiously;

"This is the Jia Baoyu who was born with jade, and he is so elegant."

Jia Lian didn't ask angrily when he saw that this master was going to be out of tune again;
"Don't talk about those useless things, Shaofeng, you can tell my brother what's so mysterious about it?"

Bai Shaofeng smiled mysteriously and said nothing,
"Second brother Lian, why are you in such a hurry, I'm still hungry, let's talk when I'm full."

Jia Lian had no choice but to go out and urge her, and the food was not slow to serve. The Chunlou was well prepared. Before Jia Lian went out, the maids began to serve the food one by one, and took a jar of wine.

After the food and drink are served,
Bai Shaofeng was also blunt, and directly picked up the chopsticks to eat. Jia Lian, Jia Zhen, and Jia Baoyu also picked up the chopsticks to eat together when they saw this.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, everyone felt full. Jia Baoyu was also full of greasy food. He never thought that he could eat and drink so recklessly outside, but he couldn't do it in the mansion. There are many rules.

Seeing that it was almost done, Bai Shaofeng was also unambiguous, and said bluntly to the Jia family's children;

"Brother Zhen, Second Brother Lian, and Brother Bao. Brothers didn't do this on purpose. Let's just say, have you paid back the money borrowed by the household department of the two dukes' mansions?"
