Chapter 182: Tang Cheng is drunk

When he returned to the inn, Lai Fu was anxious to look for him. Tang Chengxiao said that after he went out casually, he returned to the guest room first.

After lunch, he rested for a while, and Tang Cheng took Lai Fu out of the inn.

After coming out, Tang Cheng went to the largest wine shop in Daozhengfang. Lai Fu heard Tang Cheng open his mouth and bought the best Sanle Sauce in the shop, and he couldn't react for a while. Good guy, he had three or four jars of such a big jar, so he was afraid that there were hundreds of pounds? Not to mention drinking, it would be more than enough for bathing! "Master, why should we buy so much wine?"

"Send someone" and said casually, Tang Cheng signaled to come to Fu to collect money, and gave the owner of the wine shop an address, and took him to bring the four urns of wine to the place.

The owner of the wine shop immediately smiled when he heard the address of Tang Chengbao, "It turns out that this wine is to be delivered to Dr. He's mansion! Although the great official is relieved, it's hard to say anything else. If you talk about Dr. He's mansion, you can't make a mistake even if you keep your eyes closed."

"Oh! The boss is very familiar with Dr. He?" Tang Cheng bought these wines to give to He Zhizhang, the leader of the four scholars in Wuzhong. He Zhizhang was the position of Dr. Taichang at this time. The boss only heard the place name and wrote such a sentence, which really surprised Tang Cheng.

"Dr. He is a famous scholar with an official position. What position can the young old man be familiar with him? However, the young old man's specialty green plum wine is very familiar with Dr. He." The boss quickly collected the account and laughed: "Different times eat different wines, and different wineries also have different signature wines. The one that I love most is Qingmei wine. During the day when new plums come out every year, Dr. He drinks the wine every day."

After paying the bill, the boss handed over Lai Fu to find a supplement, and continued with a smile: "The candidates of the high-ranking officials are no longer right. It is useless to go to see Dr. He bring anything, but he has to drink! Haha, the high-ranking officials probably don't know that Dr. He's name of wine spread all over Chang'an. On the day when the salary is paid, Dr. He does nothing. He must first focus on the account to calculate the monthly expenses in the family, and after leaving enough money and food, the rest will be sent to the restaurant. Every month, he must have the heart to do something else after he has done this matter."

When he heard the boss's words, Tang Cheng laughed out loud. During the prosperous Tang Dynasty, Du Fu once wrote a famous song "The Eight Immortals in Wine", which records the eight most popular wine places in Chang'an City at that time, Li Bai, Zhang Xu and others were among them, and He Zhizhang was the first of the Eight Immortals.

"Zhizhang rides a horse like a boat, and sleeps in the well and falls into the well." Because of the circulating "The Eight Immortals in Wine", Tang Cheng knew that He Zhizhang was addicted to drinking and drinking in college in later generations. However, he did not expect that his good wine reached this point. He stared at the account office to calculate the cost, which was obviously because he was afraid that the account office would calculate the cost too much, which would cause his alcohol money to be lost.

This old man was thirty-six years old when he became a Jinshi in the fourth year of his dynasty. He was just fifty years old this year. A famous poet in his fifty years old lay in the account room and was calculating about the money for the account room. Just thinking of this scene in his mind, Tang Cheng couldn't help laughing again.

The originally written image of He Zhizhang suddenly became vivid in Tang Cheng's mind. Later generations liked to use the words "crazy, stupid, and true" when summarizing him. This judgment was indeed incisive.

He loaded the wine jar with a donkey cart in the wine shop. Tang Cheng hired a stroller to go to He Zhizhang's mansion with the donkey cart.

As soon as he arrived at the gate of He Zhizhang's mansion, the door saw the boss driving a donkey cart and immediately grinned and greeted him, "Liu Heipi, I heard that you were very proud last night and bought Chunniang from Mengyunlou, Pingkangfang all night. Now he still has the energy to deliver wine? Could it be that he is weak and afraid that people will know, so he will make this dazzling job that is hindering people's eyes."

"Ma Er, you can't do it. I haven't rested since I entered Chunniang's room last night. Is it possible that I'll waste my fun work?" The head of the shop in the restaurant was obviously very familiar with the Mazi's doorman in He Zhizhang's house. When talking about Chunniang, the head of the guy's face turned red and his eyes shining. "Besides, Chunniang's body is covered with flesh, the second tail has to stand up to the sky after seeing it. Now he is always a little older. But he has been on the Mengyunlou Flower Brand back then."

I heard the two of them talk about the old prostitute here and get addicted to it. As they walked out of the car, Tang Cheng coughed lightly twice.

The coughing pulled the guy back from his excitement. The guy turned sideways and smiled at Tang Cheng. He turned his face and waved his hand and said, "Ma Er, don't pull this first, open the door and let me bring the wine in."

"When did my master buy so much wine?" Hearing the cough, he closed his smile on his face. Although he was asking the guy's head, his eyes were on Tang Cheng who was on the side.

"These good saps of Sanle Powder were sent to Dr. He by this great official Tang." When the guy said this, without waiting for Tang Chengshi's eyes, the clever Lai Fu had already handed Tang Cheng's famous sting in front of Ma Er.

Unexpectedly, Ma Er, who was just talking to the guy, was so stingy that he was so tight that he said, "I dare not pay my respects to the guest's name to the sect." He didn't even accept Lai Fu's name to the place to the sect, let alone inform him.

Hearing this, Tang Chengzhen was so angry that he didn't even make a fuss. Damn, it's just a doorman, and he is so awesome! However, after all, there are different identities. With the follower Laifu on the side, he was so angry that he could not just admit it and just let it go and make people laugh.

After hearing this, Lai Fu was stunned. Not only did his face not look ugly, but he smiled like a flower, "Second brother, please unyieldingly", shouting affectionately, and he slowly took out a ticket of money from his sleeve and stuffed it over.

"Yi Guan! This is really not a young man." After Ma Er finished the flying ticket in his hand, he handed it back as it was, "But I can't accept it, please come back with the guest."

The money that always had always been money was not enough. Ma Er's performance was beyond Tang Cheng's expectations, and the boss of the wine shop was anxious when he saw this. He naturally couldn't leave if the wine could not be delivered. Moreover, he was really afraid that Tang Cheng would withdraw the wine after this continued. Such a large business, but he followed him and asked him to withdraw the wine. When he went back, the boss would not be allowed to deal with him to death.

"Ma Er. Don't be sad, I'll give you a face." Before Lai Fu could say anything, the head of the donkey cart said first: "The official Tang is honest enough, so don't splint the mazi."

"Brother Liu, do you think I am thinking that the money is too low?" The doorman of Mazi smiled bitterly when he heard this and turned to Tang Cheng: "The master of the family issued a gate seal order. These days, until the end of the Ministry of Rites, no scholars who were invited to see him in Confucian robes shall be notified." At this point, Ma Er pointed to the donkey carriage: "Especially those who brought Lili. This is not because I don't give it convenience, but it's really not convenient."

After the door was clear, Tang Cheng thought for a moment and realized that there were too many scholars coming to Beijing to take the exam these days, and all of these scholars had to go to the book and pay a visit. There may be different people's visits to the place, but He Zhizhang, the leader of the four scholars in Wuzhong, must be unable to get around. After the troubles of these two thousand people, He Zhizhang really couldn't stand it, so he had this door order.

From this He Zhizhang's seal order, we can also see how fierce the competition for the current Jinshi exam is.

It was accurate that today was exactly the tenth day of the yamen, but Tang Cheng didn't expect to encounter this. For a moment, Lai Fu and the boss didn't know what to say.

"I'm a misunderstanding. I'm not here to do the book," Tang Cheng pondered for a moment, stepped forward and smiled, "I'll report it to you, Tang Cheng, the head secretary of the Shandong East Road Observation Order, came to visit Dr. He according to the order of Lord Zhengyu of Taoism and Learning."

Speaking of this, Tang Cheng also smiled and pointed to the donkey carriage full of wine: "This is what Lord Yu ordered to prepare."

Lai Fu was really clever. With Tang Cheng's words, he quickly stuffed the ticket returned by Ma Er again, and the cooperation between the master and servant was solid.

"Hey, I had known that there was such a thing, so I would have delayed it for so long." After putting the ticket into my sleeve, Ma Er apologized to Tang Cheng and took the name from Lai Fu's hand and turned around and walked quickly inside.

After a while, when Tang Cheng turned his head and looked at the street where He Mansion was located, he suddenly heard a loud voice with a smile behind him saying, "Where is Tang Cheng, who is in the south of the mountain, who is difficult to reach the blue sky?"

Tang Cheng turned his head and saw a red-faced man walking out of the side door. He looked like he was only in his forties, with a piece of the common scarf used by Taoists, and was wearing a ball shirt and wide-sleeved regular dress. The wrinkles on the regular dress without a waist and the wine stains on the front chest were very obvious. What's even more amazing is that the pair of stools on his feet were actually kicking the ground. After walking quickly, he knocked on the ground.

Since he entered the Yunxi County Yamen, Tang Cheng had all the yamen people dressed neatly. Affected by this, he was very careful in his clothes, but he had never seen an official like He Zhizhang.

Looking at Tang Cheng's feet were not slow at all. He walked over and bowed and said, "I will visit Tang Cheng from Shandong, Shandong Province to pay homage to Dr. He."

"Well, are you Tang Cheng?" He Zhizhang, who was kicking his paw, casually posed with his wide sleeves. After returning the ceremony, he looked at Tang Cheng with great care. "Yu Quanheng didn't lie to me. As expected, he just reached the age of twentieth. The younger generation is terrifying. Those who come will be better than today!"

After saying that, after laughing, He Zhizhang waved his robe and said, "The last bowl of wine this afternoon has just been burned. A distant guest drinks each other and discusses poetry with warm wine. It's time for you to come! Let's go."

As He Zhizhang arrived at the flower hall, Tang Cheng saw that the table table in the hall was in a mess. It was obvious that He Zhizhang had started drinking since lunch and then continued to drink until now.

"On the afternoon, I always know how to eat in the yamen, but I can't eat wine. It's a rare holiday every ten days, just feeding the wineworms." He Zhizhang was not embarrassed at all when he saw the messy look in front of Tang Cheng, the guest. After laughing and sitting at Tang Chengyan, he ordered his servants to send some wine items as soon as possible.

Three or four side dishes to drink, the two of them sat in front of each other, and after they filled the warm wine and invited them to drink it, He Zhizhang, a guest, took the wine bowl and continued the wine for the two of them. He was drunk and blushed, and Gu Zi picked up the bamboo on the side and knocked it on the wine cup.

"The Road to Shu is Difficult"! He Zhizhang's rhythm of knocking out the ground is "The Road to Shu is Difficult".

Just as Tang Cheng filled the wine and put down the wine cup, he heard the singing songs and dinging rhythms suddenly rising:

Alas, it’s so dangerous! The road to Shu is more difficult than climbing to the blue sky.

The poem that suddenly rose up in He Zhizhang did not suppress the volume at all. He let the smell of alcohol in his chest gush out with the heroic spirit of this poem, and it did not go from low to high, and the feelings from implicit to unrestrained. The crazy guest of Siming He Zhizhang sang with wine from the beginning, "Ah, it's dangerous!" From the beginning, he was full of passion, and he was free to sing in the sound of the house without any restraint.

Compared with those professional singers, although He Zhizhang's sound quality is much worse, he is both a crazy guest and a wine fairy. He is also a representative figure of the soul of the prosperous Tang Dynasty. In terms of his understanding and grasp of Li Bai's poem "The Road to Shu" is difficult to compare with any professional singer in the world. Therefore, this famous work that has been passed down through the ages without the accompanying musicians, he sang the most generous and desolate charm of the most sensation of the spirit of the gods.

He Zhizhang's uncontrollable emotions surged upwards with the progress of the poem, and his voice became louder and louder. Seeing He Zhizhang's wildness and hearing such a long song that fits the charm of this work, Tang Cheng felt that something was ignited in his heart. When the singer in Daya Zhizhengyuan sang this poem for the first time that day, he could still be calm and could not help it.

After reaching out, Tang Cheng picked up the wine cup and drank it all in big mouthfuls. He didn't even put the wine cup down. He had picked up the bamboo with his other hand and knocked it out in response to He Zhizhang's rhythm.

Holding the cup in the left hand and holding the right hand, Tang Cheng knocked on it while playing the volume and singing in a long and easy-going song:

You are forty-eight thousand years old and will not be connected with Qin Pass.

There is a bird path in Taibai, the West can reach the top of Emei.

The earth collapses and the mountains destroys the heroes and dies, and then the ladder and stones in the sky are connected in square hooks.

There are six dragons above and the high standard of returning to the sun, and there are back to the river with the waves and twists below.

Since traveling through time, he has been forced by life first, and then in order to pursue his ideals, he has lived in complex yamen most of the time. Tang Cheng has never had such a moment of not thinking about anything and releasing his feelings. At this moment, he suddenly seemed to have returned to the days when he graduated from college in later generations. A dormitory was unscrupulously knocking on the bowl of ghosts and howling ghosts with iron spoons.

There is no scruple or limitation, put aside all constraints, and let the emotions roar endlessly. The louder the tap on the ground, the louder the sing in the mouth, the faster the emotions sing, the easier and cleaner the whole heart. When the last sentence was finally finished singing loudly, Tang Cheng couldn't help but shout: "Have fun!"

Just as he drank this sentence, he suddenly threw the bamboo in his hand and hit the ground. He Zhizhang shouted loudly. He whispered in unison. After drinking, the old and the young looked at each other and laughed out loud.

"What a great Tang Cheng, so happy!" He Zhizhang looked up and drank a cup of wine.

It was said to be the last bowl of wine, but Tang Cheng himself couldn't remember how much he drank that afternoon, and he seemed to have forgotten the purpose of this. He did not mention the quotation of the book, but just drank in large quantities and discussed the poems.

You drink, I drink, you drink, you say, I sing, and I sing. That afternoon, Tang Cheng, who was not crazy by nature, completely released himself like a madman, and he devoted himself to his heart's contentment with He Zhizhang.

On this afternoon, Tang Cheng had never experienced madness in his later generations and present lives, and was also an unprecedented approach to his instinct nature. Similarly, his whole body and mind also felt the almost empty and clear relaxation after an unprecedented complete release.

When another cup of wine was gone, and when the sun outside the flower hall had already walked slanted to the setting sun, He Zhizhang, who was sitting slightly crooked, raised his head, "Tang Cheng, if I were the Minister of Rites, the leader of the Jinshi in the current rank, will definitely be you." In the Tang Dynasty, the place where the imperial examination was in charge of the Ministry of Rites, and the Minister of Rites was the prescribed landlord examination.

Although the wine at this time was squeezed and the degree was not high, it was really impossible to drink too much. Tang Cheng was already blushing and even his reaction was much slower than usual. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "You will definitely be like this in the future, but not now."

"Yes, I'm not now," He Zhizhang shook his head vigorously to make himself more sober, "So I can help you with this year's scientific examination."

"There is not much help, it's just that my friend says this." The drunkenness showed that Tang Cheng, who had a red face, suddenly leaned forward and then lay on the table in front of him. The wine bowl that was knocked over fell to the ground and "bang". He didn't realize it at all. He just stared at He Zhizhang with his eyes straight, and said in a dry voice after drinking, "You said, are we friends?"

Seeing Tang Cheng's cute appearance after being drunk, He Zhizhang couldn't help laughing, and continued, "Zhang Chunjiang and I can only do our best to recommend poetry for you, and be famous for your broad poetry. However, the Jinshi exam is too expensive and the amount is small. With my position and low position, I really can't promote your high school gold list. Tang Cheng, if you want to win the current exam, the key is to Princess Taiping, Zhenguo."

"Since last year, the princess has tried a lot in Shilin. If she heard that there were poor scholars who were in trouble, she would have to pay for money and food. Therefore, she has a very good reputation in Shilin. In addition, the Minister of Rites, who was the chief examiner, was originally from his subordinates, so if you think about it now, it would be impossible without the princess nodding. Tang Cheng, can you write it down?", shook her head and tried her best to keep awake and said this, but after a long time, he could not get a response. When He Zhizhang looked at Tang Cheng, he saw that he was lying on the table and was asleep.

"It's good to be unruly and have a innocent heart!" After smiling and complimenting, He Zhizhang turned his head and said loudly: "Come here, call the guests with you."

When Lai Fu walked into the flower hall, he saw Tang Chenghou, who was sleeping soundly on the table with a red face, and his eyes almost popped out.

He and Tang Cheng had some time, and had always known that his master was the most self-controlled one, but never thought that he would be like the drunkenness today.

Even though He Zhizhang was known as the Wine Fairy, he had been drinking secretly for most of the day and was almost out of reach. After explaining what he had just told Tang Cheng to Lai Fu, he instructed his servant to take Tang Cheng back in his car.

When Lai Fu and the He Mansion clerk Tang Cheng was raised, Tang Cheng, who was alarmed, opened his already out of focus eyes and looked at He Zhizhang blankly for a moment, and said in a dry voice: "You will definitely be the Minister of Rites in the future, and you will definitely be able to!"
