I have lived forever since the end of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 342 Just drink Chengdu wine

Shu County.

Chengdu County.

Today happens to be a market day, and the streets are bustling with activity. Even though the weather is hot, it cannot stop the excitement of people buying.

However, when you are tired from carrying goods or your legs and feet are sore from walking, you naturally need to stop and take a rest, and a wine shop is undoubtedly the best place to go.

You only need to spend two or three copper coins to order a bowl of turbid wine, and you can sit on the roadside and watch people come and go, and listen to the strangers telling stories, no matter whether they are true or false, but they are interesting.

Currently, there are two wine shops with the most prosperous business in Chengdu County.

The old one is called "Hu's Liquor House". It has been established in Chengdu since the reign of Emperor Hui. It has taken root to this day. According to careful calculation, it has been passed down to the fourth generation for almost 50 years.

Their drinks are delicious, plentiful, and reasonably priced. From time to time, they will invite a burlesque troupe to sing in front of the wine shop for half an afternoon.

Therefore, people in Chengdu County who claim to know how to drink often go to his house to get drunk.

Originally, there was no wine shop that could compete with it in the entire Chengdu County. Until half a year ago, an unknown wine shop in West City suddenly emerged and attracted most of the drinkers in the county. Even the regular customers of Hu's wine shop would be curious. I went there secretly three or four times.

The layout of this new restaurant is simple. When there are more people, there is no place to stay. All you can do is stand at the door with a wine bowl and drink. The taste of their wine is ordinary. Although there is no harsh feeling in the mouth, it is not strong or light. , a little less distinctive; and their prices are set very low, but there are at least seven or eight wines in Chengdu County that are cheaper than theirs, so there is no need to make a special trip. Come to the West Market to drink.

However, this family has a unique advantage, that is, it is a husband and wife team.

Of course, being a husband and wife team is not a significant advantage, but the fact that the hostess is a beautiful woman is enough to attract attention.

Just like a group member quietly changed their name to: The group leader invites "Young woman in black stockings" to join the group and click Welcome.Often, a large number of group friends can be tricked into the chat interface.

Are you here to welcome new people?
You say yes?
Pooh!Despicable!

Just like the drunkards in Chengdu County, do they really go out to drink?

Everyone is tacit.

If it were an ordinary beautiful woman, they would probably get tired of it after seeing her five or six times, but the hostess of this restaurant was not ordinary.

She is the daughter of the richest man Zhuo Wangsun in Linqiong. Her family has so many fields and houses that she might be taken home by a mighty carriage convoy one day. Now she is here smiling and pouring you wine. Was it wine?

What I drink is a sense of satisfaction!

This is "added value".

When a woman with decent looks appears in front of you, although you will be stunned for a moment, most of the time, you will quickly become indifferent. After a few days, you will not even be able to remember what the other person looks like, unless she has a famous weapon. Jaw-dropping.

But if the other party has added value, the situation is different.

For example, if someone is labeled as a young... talented woman, she will arouse some interest, and they will often come up to ask for a few words.

As for the label of "rich woman" again, it is simply "sister, hungry, hungry, rice"!
The hostess of this wine shop perfectly balances these characteristics. Hu's wine shop can compete with it only because of the reputation accumulated over the past few decades.

At this moment, in the West Market, in an unknown wine shop.

"I dare you to ask me what you want to drink?" Zhuo Wenjun asked in a soft voice while standing in front of the wine bar.

She looked at the man in front of her and found that she couldn't see through him, and couldn't even estimate his age.

You must know that I have been praised as an extremely smart person since I was a child. I learned some skills of observing words and emotions from my father who was a businessman. In the past six months, I have seen countless people of all kinds in the wine shop, and I have developed a pair of "fiery eyes".

The looks that most people cast on me are a mixture of curiosity, shrinkage, and shyness. Sometimes there will be a few annoying peeks, which contain evil desires and are very annoying.

But the man in front of her was as handsome as her husband. There was only calmness in his eyes, and no more emotions could be read. It was more difficult to estimate the depth than the deepest well she had ever seen. Perhaps she could use the words she had read in books but never seen. The sea is the most suitable way to describe these eyes.

"Let's have a pot of Wannian Bi." Chen Luo responded calmly.

While Zhuo Wenjun was observing himself, he was also sizing up the other person.

Soft outside and strong inside.

This is his assessment.

Even though Zhuo Wenjun looks gorgeous and has a delicate voice, she is a genuine "Sichuan girl".

In later generations, the words "Lao Tzu Shu Dao Mountain" can be said to have scared the ears of countless people. Only Emperor He Qiang could compete.

And judging from her behavior, she eloped with Sima Xiangru and worked as a bartender in the downtown area. She would not be a woman with a gentle personality. Only a very decisive and strong person would dare to make such a decision.

"However, I have some requirements for drinking this wine." Chen Luo added.

Zhuo Wenjun still had a sweet smile on his face, "Young Master, it doesn't matter if you say so."

If it had been another customer, she would have thought that the other person might have been rude and said some dirty words, but the man in front of her didn't give her that feeling at all.

Of course, I am not afraid of these harassments.

She came to Chengdu in a carriage and brought her own money. Could anyone think that she spent all her money by buying this small wine house?

Don't think about the pocket money of rich children in terms of the income of ordinary people. Not every distinguished family is as simple as the Yangxia Chen family.

Money can even make a mill push a ghost.

Therefore, I encountered several minor troubles and entanglements in Chengdu, but they were all easily solved with copper coins.

So she listened to the young man in front of her speak softly, "When I drink this wine, I need to place it on a platform that towers over the sky, and spread my music as far as the sky. I hit a bell of thousands of stones, build a palace of thousands of stones, and build a flag of green flowers. The tree spirit drum plays Tao Tang's dance and listens to Ge Tian's song."

"Brother, what's wrong with you?" Several people in the queue behind asked in shock.

Although he could understand these words, if he were to write them down, he would probably be blind.

Immediately afterwards, these people turned their heads and looked at Zhuo Wenjun.

Hu's wine shop is having a hard time doing business, so they finally sent someone to destroy the place?
Hehe, it’s quite exciting.

But unlike what they expected, the smile on Zhuo Wenjun's face faded a bit, and he changed to a more formal look, "Young master, are you here to visit my beloved?"

She fell in love with Sima Xiangru because of the song "Feng Qiu Huang", but that doesn't mean she hasn't read other poems.

What Chen Luo was reciting just now was an excerpt from "Shanglin Fu". He was not familiar with it, so he immediately realized that the other party was not just here to drink, but for his husband.

"My name is Chen Xun, and my courtesy name is Boyu. I have heard Sima Changqing's name for a long time, so I made a special trip to visit." Chen Luo bowed his hands and reported his current name.

"Then I call you Brother Boyu." Zhuo Wenjun returned the gift, then poured the Wannian Bi that Chen Luo asked for, put it on the desk and said, "Since Brother Boyu came all the way here, how about this bowl of wine?" I’ll give it to you.”

She made a special trip to visit her husband, and could even recite a passage from "Shanglin Fu". If she still wanted to accept the money for the wine, she would be losing face to her husband to some extent.

Among them, she has a good grasp of the sense of human nature and sophistication.

"Thank you." Chen Luo also nodded without hesitation, "You two are busy first. I'll rest here and chat with the guests around me."

After all, this is the busiest time of the market, and there is an endless stream of people coming to the wine shop.It was really rude to ask this couple to put down their work and come to chat with me. You must know that they opened a wine shop here not only to make money, but also to do it for the people in Linqiong to watch. They closed the shop every three days. Will Zhuo Wenjun's old father feel distressed?
"I'm sorry for the poor hospitality." Zhuo Wenjun also heard the guests urging him, so he stopped staying in front of Chen Luo and went to do his own business.

After a while, Sima Xiangru, who was clearing away the dishes outside the restaurant, came in.

Even though he was wearing shorts that were no different from those of a servant and looked tired, he somehow gave people a sense of nobility.

And regardless of the aesthetics of any era, Sima Xiangru's appearance can be regarded as upright. Coupled with his special temperament, he can be said to stand out among the crowd and is extremely dazzling.

If there were no Chen Luo in the restaurant, he would undoubtedly be the center of attention.

Zhuo Wenjun called him to the wine bar.

"What's the matter, my dear?" Sima Xiangru put down his work and asked softly.

Zhuo Wenjun pointed at Chen Luo with his eyes and continued: "That young master is Chen Xun and Chen Boyu. He just memorized a short section of "Shanglin Fu" and said he came to see you."

Looking at the angry Chen Luo, Sima Xiangru also had some doubts in his eyes, but the other person knew "Shanglin Fu" and was probably his admirer.

And it’s not easy to come all the way to Chengdu.

No matter what, you should express your kindness first.

So Sima Xiangru took a few steps forward and said with a kind smile: "Brother Boyu, this is Sima Xiangru, whose courtesy name is Changqing.

If you are interested in making friends, please sit here for a while. When our shop is closed, I will come to you to chat about poetry and poetry. What do you think? "

"It's okay, Chang Qing, just go ahead." Just as Chen Luo responded, he heard a "ding" sound in his ears.

coming!

【Ding!

It is detected that the player is currently in a historical scene: a couple is deeply in love and sells wine as a pawn.

The system rating of this scene is "Famous for Eternity".

Ask the player whether to choose to punch the card. 】

"Punch in." Chen Luo raised the corners of his mouth and muttered silently in his heart.

In fact, he had no confidence in whether this check-in would be successful.

Because of the slight deviation in the world line, without the existence of King Liang, Sima Xiangru's life trajectory has changed slightly.

During the reign of Emperor Jing, he served as a regular attendant in the palace, which was similar to the situation in history.

Because Liu Qi was not good at diction, Sima Xiangru still resigned and left Chang'an.

After leaving Beijing, he traveled to many places, including Han, Qi and Zhongshan, and he stayed under the king of Chu for the longest time. Based on the scenes of Xiang Xuan's hunting trip, he wrote "Zixu" and "Shanglin". Two poems.

Of course, Sima Xiangru did not rely on them to be appreciated.

After all, Xiang Xuan's only prey on that hunting trip was three hares, and even the deer that were driven over by his attendants accidentally let go. As for those rare animals in Sima Xiangru's poems... he didn't even see their hair.

When Sima Xiangru wrote those two poems, he did not mean any irony, but in Xiang Xuan's view, wasn't this clearly mocking my hunting skills?

Do you think you are my father?
Therefore, the two articles "Zixu" and "Shanglin" allowed his talent and fame to spread in a small area, but they did not win much attention, let alone actual benefits.

Because of this, Sima Xiangru may have been a little less calm in front of Zhuo Wenjun. He did not go back to Linqiong with him as history did, and chose to sell wine in his hometown, the market in Chengdu County.

Sometimes the two entries required by the punch-in system will include location elements.

If Sima Xiangru and Zhuo Wenjun were selling wine together in Linqiong, then I might not be able to do it this time.

Fortunately, the worst didn't happen.

Immediately, the reward reminder rang in his ears again.

【Ding!

Congratulations to the player for successfully clocking in the famous scene in history.

Reward 2 points for elegance, 2 points for appearance, and 15 years of longevity. 】

not bad.

Chen Luo picked up the wine bowl and took a sip.

It's worth traveling all the way here to drink this bowl of wine that tastes just like water.

After all, ever since the Seven Kingdoms Rebellion in Emperor Jing's dynasty ended, the world has entered a long period of peace.

In the history of this period, there are indeed some popular stories missing and some excitement.

It was not until the death of Emperor Jing the year before last and Liu Che's accession to the throne that Chen Luofang ended his travels in the north and south of the Han Dynasty, prepared to rejoin the world, and began a new stage of checking in famous historical scenes.

Chengdu is my second stop.

However, I missed Sima Xiangru playing "Phoenix Seeking the Phoenix" for Zhuo Wenjun before, and I don't know if there will be a chance to make up for it.

Without thinking too much about these things, he quickly chatted with the guests in the wine shop, blending into the atmosphere and doing as the Romans do.

When it was getting dark, Sima Xiangru and his wife finished their busy day.

"Young master, if you don't mind, you can have dinner with us and try my handiwork." Seeing that Chen Luo still stayed, Zhuo Wenjun invited him.

Sima Xiangru nodded in agreement and said quickly: "Xiangru is just about to have a chat with the young master."

He had stayed in his hometown for so long, and it was the first time that someone came to visit him because of his article, and he was a little excited.

"How dare I refuse to accept your warm invitation?" Chen Luo stood up and replied with a smile.

----

Wenjun died at night and ran to Xiangru. Xiangru and he galloped back to Chengdu.

With only four walls in his house, Wenjun advised: "Why don't you go to Linqiong, your brother Kun, and you can still make a living with fake goods? How can you suffer so much?"

Xiangru didn't want to come back to Qiong, so he sold all his carriages and horses, bought a wine house and drank wine in Chengdu, and ordered Wenjun to be a slave.Xiangru, wearing a calf-nosed robe, worked with Baoyong and washed his utensils in the market.

However, the gentleman waited for the time to move, and when Chen Xun visited him, he made a gift to him and became famous all over the world. It is hard to find a lot of money.

Zhuo Wang, Sun Xiao, invited me to his mansion and saw him with a pleasant face. ——"Historical Records·Biography of Sima Xiangru"
