"You kid!"

Hua Manting did not hide his love for Li Chenan at all.

He pointed at Li Chenan and shook his head with a smile, "Sit down, you brought a jar of wine, don't I want to prepare a table of good food?"

Li Chenan sat next to Hua Manting, "I think drinking is for fun. It doesn't matter what kind of wine it is, and it doesn't matter whether there are food or not. What's important is that I can drink with the boss and this uncle. Having this romantic wine is enough."

That’s it!”

"Hahahahaha," Hua Manting happily said, "That's good!"

"When it comes to the romance in Guangling, it belongs to the lakeside family. There are daughters who are red, rouge dancing, and heartbroken!"

"If I were decades younger, I would invite you to drink at the best Ningxiang restaurant by the lakeside."

"I think the old man is getting stronger and more majestic than before! Speaking of which, the young man has never been to the lakeside family. If the old man is free one day, he can take the young man to broaden his horizons."

Hua Manting shook his head, stroking his long beard and sighed, "The bones in my body really can't withstand that kind of torture." The look on his face calmed down, and he returned to his serious look, "Let's get down to business."

He raised his head and looked at Su Muxin: "Go and tell Zhong Yuanzheng that I am here to entertain friends and ask him to ask the cook to cook some side dishes to go with the wine. To make it simple, let's serve a plate of peanuts first."

Li Chenan sat up straight, because Hua Manting's words did not mean the food that goes with the wine, but what he said next might not be suitable for his disciple to hear.

Su Muxin stood up and left, and Hua Manting turned to Li Chenan again.

"I like your two poems very much, and I also like you as a person."

"Let me introduce you, this is Mr. Liu Zuo Liu of Guangling Prefecture."

Li Chenan quickly stood up and bowed his hands: "Hello, Mr. Liu!"

Liu Zuo nodded slightly, "My mentor also gave me Mr. Li's two poems. Mr. Li is so talented that Liu admires him!"

It turns out that Mr. Liu is a student of Hua Manting. I don’t know whether he came by chance or Mr. Hua’s deliberate arrangement. Although he has the silver medal in his pocket, if he can still have a relationship with the governor of Guangling Prefecture,

Friendship is certainly better.

"I'm ashamed, kid. Those two poems were composed casually. If they hadn't fallen into Mr. Hua's eyes, they would have been buried in the vast ocean of literature."

"So I occasionally feel that this may be God's favor. It happened that Mr. Hua came to Guangling and saw the two poems I wrote."

"This is the destiny of time. Thousand-mile horses often appear but bole does not always appear. This is the boy's luck."

Just now, Liu Zuo thought that Li Chenan was a little young and frivolous, but now he heard that Li Chenan hid his talent in his words, and instead boasted about his mentor... This kid is quite thoughtful.

Liu Zui glanced at Li Chen'an, and Hua Manting laughed again, "You boy, those two poems are just good. I have long passed the age where I like to hear good words, so don't put any high hat on me."

He looked at Liu Zuo, stroked his long beard, and said lightly: "This little brother... I like him very much as a teacher."

Li Chenan sat up straight again and listened carefully to Hua Manting's words.

These words have a very profound meaning. The words "little brother" show how important he is in Hua Manting's heart, and they are also intended to make Mr. Liu keep him in his heart.

Sure enough, Liu Zuo was sitting upright and heard Hua Manting say again:

"Except for his "Die Lian Hua" which can be included in the top 20 of "Ning's Poetry Collection", I prefer the open-mindedness he showed in "Qing Xing'er"."

"I have just told you about his past. He has been silent for more than ten years, endured for more than ten years, and suffered criticism from people for more than ten years. But this boy is as stable as a mountain. This is his state of mind!"

"My teacher originally hoped that he could take the scientific examination or recommend him. If it were any other student, he would have been ecstatic, but he didn't want to. This means he didn't choose Spring and Autumn."

Li Chenan was startled and immediately turned to Hua Manting, thinking that you didn't mention recommending me!

If I could become an official without taking exams, I would still like it!

The garden is full of flowers without him.

He took Liu Zhuo.

"My whole life as a teacher is full of students, but each of you behaves seriously in front of my teacher. Of course, this is respecting your teacher, and my teacher can understand that."

"But as I grow older, I suddenly hope to have a friend with whom I can speak freely, the kind of friend who has no concerns, no restrictions, and no ties."

"It has nothing to do with age, it only has to do with temperament and character."

Liu Zuo understood.

His mentor carefully introduced Li Chenan to him.

At this moment, he mentioned that he needed a friend, so in his mentor's heart, he already regarded Li Chenan as his close friend!

This boy is from Guangling City. As the magistrate of Guangling Prefecture, my mentor's intention is obvious, that is, let me take care of him.

It's a simple matter, but this kid was able to fall into the teacher's eyes. What a blessing!

"Disciple understands."

Liu Zuo bowed his hands and said, "Since this little brother is in Guangling, I would like to ask my mentor to come and sit in Guangling more often."

"Yeah," Hua Manting nodded slightly and looked at Li Chenan again.

"Brother, this disciple is the number one scholar in the sixth year of Zhaohua. He has excellent character, but... he is a bit stubborn."

"According to his ability, he should have gone to Kyoto long ago and at least become a minister of a certain ministry. However... because of some things that offended some people, he has no talent, no ideals and ambitions, but he can only work here in Guangling.

Stay here."

"Actually, that's fine. After all, the water in the temple is deeper."

"It's getting deeper and deeper now. I'm afraid the water will overflow Kyoto and reach Guanglingzhou."

Li Chenan was stunned for a moment again. So the struggle on the temple in Kyoto was quite fierce. As for the violent method, he didn't know yet. He thought that if the water in Kyoto rose and Guangling Prefecture was flooded, what could he do?

What can be done?

Do you want me to hug the prefect’s thigh tightly?

At this time, Su Muxin led several people to bring several plates of food.

Hua Manting didn't say anything more, "Anyway, after my little brother's tavern opens, if you are not busy with official duties, you can go to his place more frequently."

"Mu Xin, open the wine."

Su Muxin opened the mud seal of the wine jar and poured three bowls of wine for the three of them.

"Pour yours too."

Su Mu was shocked. Normally, a teacher would not allow him to drink alcohol.

He poured another bowl.

Hua Manting raised the wine bowl and said, "Come on, let's sing to the wine and appreciate how much life has to offer!"

Four people had a bowl!

This is the first time for Li Chenan to drink wine from this world. Even if a bowl of wine goes down his throat, there is no need to use it. This wine can be at most twenty degrees.

Indifferent.

In this way, it can be regarded as a good wine from Ningguo.

"Master Liu..."

"You still call me Mr. Liu? But it seems unfamiliar!" Hua Manting put down the wine bowl and said.

Liu Zuo said quickly: "I am definitely older than you, so just call me Brother Liu!"

"This...little brother has reached such a high level!"

"No, my mentor calls you little brother. Logically, I should call you little uncle. I'm the one who's got the upper hand!"

"Then let's each call him his own. Since we are all brothers, there is no need to be formal. If you have wine today, you will get drunk today. No matter what, let's drink!"

"What a good saying. If you have wine today, you will get drunk today. I will accompany you to get drunk!"

The atmosphere here suddenly became more relaxed, and even Liu Zui, who had always been serious, seemed to have returned to his boyhood at this moment.

When the jar of wine was finished, it was time for the lanterns to light up.

Li Chenan was fine, but Hua Manting was already tipsy.

Liu Zui obviously had a good drinking capacity, but Su Muxin was a little drunk.

"Brother, to be honest, I still have something to ask of you today."

"Brother, just say it!"

"Isn't my tavern about to open? Could you please give me a few words?"

"It's a small matter, wipe your mind, wipe your mind, get pen, ink, paper and inkstone!"

Su Muxin's eyes lit up, thinking that the teacher was going to compose lyrics, so he stumbled to the study room to get pen, ink, paper and an inkstone, and polished the ink on the inkstone.

"What to write?"

"First let me give you the name of the tavern...let's write it as the tavern under the banyan tree. Write these six characters smaller."

Hua Manting was startled, "Shouldn't the door title be made larger?"

Li Chenan chuckled, "You listen to me."

"……good!"

When I picked up the pen in "The Garden is Full of Flowers", the six words "Tavern Under the Banyan Tree" appeared on the page.

"Here, please write down your name, brother, please make it bigger."

"..."

The three characters "花Manting" with flying dragons and phoenixes fall on the lower left of the six characters.

"Where's the seal? I need to put a seal on it."

"You kid."

Hua Manting took out a small seal from her arms and printed it on the lower right side.

Li Chenan cheerfully picked up the banner and looked at it. The three characters "Hua Man Ting" were very conspicuous, but the six characters "Tavern Under the Banyan Tree" were a bit difficult to distinguish.

This is the effect you want.

"Brother, here's another poem!"

"You say it and I write it!"

"……good!"

Li Chenan did not refuse, because this was obviously another test for him by Hua Manting!

He believed that if he showed his hand in front of Hua Manting again, the old man would really regard him as an old friend.

But at this moment, Liu Zuo's heart was filled with turmoil, because it was extremely difficult for him to ask for a word from his teacher in the past, but now he was able to answer every request from Li Chen'an.

The teacher asked Li Chenan to write a poem and he wrote it himself... The teacher just blew him up to the sky, and how accomplished this young man is in poetry.

"Brother, get ready to write!"

So fast?

"This poem is called A Toast!"

Li Chenan stood up, rolled up his sleeves, and chanted energetically:

“I don’t see you, the water of the Yellow River comes up from the sky and rushes to the sea never to return.

Don’t you see, the bright mirror in the high hall has sad white hair, and it looks like blue silk in the morning and turns to snow in the evening.”

The whole court was shocked!

Liu Zuo immediately stood on the spot.

Su Mu suddenly woke up after hearing these two sentences.

All three of them were shocked by this majestic opening chapter.

"What a poem...! Recite it again!"

“If you are happy in life, you must enjoy it to the fullest. Don’t let the golden cup stand empty against the moon.

My talents are destined to be useful, and a thousand gold coins scattered will come back again."

"Mu Xin, ask people to buy wine, just based on this poem, I...will drink three hundred glasses!"

"Little brother, recite again!"

"...Five-flowered horse, golden fur,

Hu'er will exchange for fine wine,

I will sell you all the sorrows of eternity with you!"

After reciting the song "About to Enter the Wine", I was so drunk that the bird was silent.
Chapter completed!
