Chapter 110

It was already evening. Gongsun Yan looked at the tired look on Zhao Yun's face and felt distressed, so he announced that the meeting was adjourned and would continue tomorrow at Chenshi.

Because the system steward Zhao Xi is Zhao Yun's nominal uncle, a family banquet was also held in the lobby.

Tian Kai and others were among them.

Gongsun Yan knew that this must be done. If she felt it was unnecessary, then in the eyes of outsiders, it would be her dissatisfaction with Uncle Zhao Yun and Zhao Yun.

So she also attended the dinner behind the screen.

She had never attended many banquets before. Even though she only sat down for a while and moved two chopsticks, it was enough to send a signal of attention.

At the banquet, she carefully peered through the plain silk on the screen and watched Zhao Xi drink a glass of wine with an expressionless face.

Seeing that there were no strange reactions, she was relieved that the system said the body was completely simulated.

Otherwise, she was really worried that if it rained one day, her system manager would spark and be destroyed on the spot.

Knowing that she was still in her filial piety period, everyone couldn't let go of her presence. Gongsun Yan stood up and left the table as the wine touched his lips.

But before leaving, he was still worried and told Zhao Yun to drink less.

As soon as Gongsun Yan left, Tian Kai immediately resumed his wine-drinking style at the big man's banquet.

This kind of welcome banquet should be lively and to bring people closer together.

As Zhao Xi's nominal nephew, Zhao Yun should have been the focus of attention.

Before leaving, Gongsun Yan warned him not to mess with Zhao Yun, who was not good at drinking.

I saw that although Zhao Xi had a stiff smile and often had an expressionless face, he never refused or refused to drink. He drank one glass at a time without rejecting anyone who came.

Such a bold drinking style is undoubtedly the most respected in the wine table culture of the Han Dynasty.

He is especially highly praised by those who serve in the army. Xia Houlan and others, headed by Tian Kai, have a good impression of him.

Only Zhao Yun was a little worried that something would happen, so he forced himself to sit here with him.

I felt relieved when I saw that although Zhao Xi drank heavily, he responded fluently to Tian Kai and others' inquiries and conversations without any flaws.

"A certain commoner left home at a young age and worked hard in Youzhou. His whole life was in troubled times. He was wandering all his life without a son or a half. When the people in the city heard about Zilong, he came to seek refuge with him."

"Someone is not a cunning and lazy person who needs food and clothing, but is relying on others rather than having the ability to stand on his own. Lady Gongsun doesn't know someone's talent but just does the housework. If she receives such a great favor and forgets it, she is really out of the ordinary."

"In the future, I will devote my whole life to Lady Gongsun and die."

The set lines that Gongsun Yantian shamelessly plagiarized were spoken by Zhao Xixi.

Although his expression is relatively rigid and his voice does not fluctuate much, his emotional expression is somewhat compromised, but the effect is still excellent.

Even Zhao Yun, who knew the inside story, was slightly moved, not to mention Tian Kai and others who were completely unaware.

Tian Kai suddenly fell in love with him and toasted him with another glass of wine. Seeing that he still drank it down with no expression on his face, he shouted "Hello".

He simply pulled up a mat with Zhou Xing, sat around him, and started chatting with him.

But the more we talked, the more frightened I became. I was surprised by the vast number of people in front of me, and also shocked by his breadth of knowledge.

Seeing that he drank a lot of wine, his face remained as usual and his eyes were calm and clear.

What they drank was the Qingyi wine produced in Lingzhi Manor, not the fermented rice wine.

Compared with cheesy wine, which is thick but sweet in taste, Qingyi wine has a clear slurry, takes longer to brew, and is more intoxicating.

It is a rare product.

Tian Kai had seen a lot of heavy drinkers and good drinkers in the army, but this was the first time he had seen someone like Zhao Xi who drank several liters without changing his expression.

Among the juniors who were toasting, Xia Houlan and Zhang Ze were already drunk, and Wang Wu was already lying on the table.Even Zhou Xing, who claimed to be a good drinker, had to change clothes twice while burping from wine.

But the Zhao Jun in front of him didn't even show a trace of red on his face. Such a drinker was really shocking.

What is equally surprising is Zhao Jun's knowledge.

Tian Kai himself claimed to be civilized and capable of military affairs, able to govern and lead troops, but his own family knew about his affairs.

He was not a book-lover. Qingzhou's governance mainly relied on staff and petty officials, and he mainly followed the path of a military general leading troops.

However, after talking with each other, Tian Kai truly admired Zhao Jun's profound knowledge.

He was not a great scholar or the author of many famous classics, but his knowledge and breadth of knowledge really shocked Tian Kai.

Almost all questions must be answered, and the answers must be well-founded.

Occasionally, he and Zhou Xing looked at each other in confusion, so Zhao Xi dipped his fingers in wine and drew freely on the table.

Tian Kai and Zhou Xing then discovered that this man was actually good at painting. On the ink table, the transparent wine liquid could be clearly drawn with just a few strokes, and then the skillful painting was wiped away by him without hesitation.

Xia Houlan and Zhang Ze, who smelled of alcohol, were sitting at Zhao Xi's desk.

Zhao Yun, who had only had a few drinks, was already sitting behind him with a serious look on his face, listening carefully.

Zhao Xizheng was sipping wine and explaining an arithmetic problem to Zhou Xing.

The predecessor of System Butler is the system Q&A assistant, which has built-in basic knowledge to help users complete tasks better.

After the main city is established, it can be further upgraded to a butler, which can directly load various types of knowledge purchased by users into the system.

After Gongsun Yan completed the settings, he purchased some knowledge documents such as mathematics, science, and physics.

After studying the functions of the system steward, Gongsun Yan could almost imagine how much help the omnipotent him would bring in education and other aspects.

When it comes to studying classics, history and biographies, and writing poems and poems, Zhao Xi is far inferior to contemporary real-life Confucian scholars. He does not have the same perceptual thinking as human beings.

But when it comes to the amount of miscellaneous knowledge accumulated, Zhao Xi crushes everyone in this era.

Gongsun Yan had authorized the inquiry qualifications of everyone present at the system steward's office, but Zhao Yun had the highest authority.

Therefore, when answering simple arithmetic questions and the like, Zhao Xi almost answered every question.

Although a bit rigid, such knowledge and frank attitude without hiding anything are enough to make everyone, including Tian Kai, stand in awe.

"Zilong! My uncle is so powerful, why have I never heard of you mentioning it before!" Xia Houlan grabbed Zhao Yun's arm with some excitement.

Changshan's Zhao family is a common surname, and Xiahou's family is slightly worse, but the hardships they went to study together when they were young are still vivid in their minds.

Even though their father and brother tried their best to send them to private schools to attend lectures, great Confucians in private schools often had thousands of disciples.

After being military attachés in the county like him and Zhao Yun, they could only stand at the farthest distance when listening to lectures.

Even though they stayed up day and night, forgetting about the cold and heat, and studied hard, they could still only read a few words and read a book, and then they went home and studied the fragments handed down from their families.

For those who don't have great ambitions, knowing a few words and continuing to be a county official like their fathers may be enough.

However, for ambitious people like Xiahou Lan and Zhao Yun, the difficulty of studying also made them feel resentful.

In response to Xia Houlan's questions and excitement, Zhao Yun could only explain it away with a wry smile, saying that this young uncle left his hometown and came to Youzhou.

"This question has troubled me for many years. Today, Mr. Fu Meng came to teach me and answered it, and I suddenly became enlightened. I am so grateful. Sir, please accept my bow." Zhou Xing avoided the table and came out, bowed respectfully and wanted to salute.

Zhao Xi grabbed his arm and helped him up, "You don't have to be like this, Mr. Zhou. Do you have any other questions that you need help with?"

"If you still have any questions, you are welcome to consult." Zhao Xi's smile finally stopped being stiff at this time and became a little more flexible. He asked with a great attitude.
