Chapter 30 Favors

After soothing for a moment, Gao Qiu pushed open the gate of his courtyard and walked into the courtyard.

At this time, it was the moon on the sky. In the small courtyard of Gao Qiu's house, a round table was placed in the middle, and three middle-aged people were drinking and enjoying the moon in Su Guo's company.

The middle-aged man sitting in the middle heard the movement, put down his wine glass and looked towards the entrance of the yard. He happened to see Gao Qiu enter the door, "Hey? Shudang, this is the Ji Min you mentioned, right? He is very similar to Mr. Dongpo when he was young!"

"Yes! It's my fourth brother." Su Guo, who was standing beside him, poured wine for the middle-aged man, turned around and looked at Gao Qiu, "Ji Min! Come quickly! Guests are coming at home!"

"Okay! I'll come now!"

Seeing that Su Guo was chatting with these three people well, Gao Qiu felt relieved.

After looking at it, Gao Qiu guessed the identities of the three middle-aged people. The one in the middle must be Huang Tingjian. On Huang Tingjian's left is Zhang Tingjian, and on Huang Tingjian's right is Shangguan Jun. In fact, it is not that Gao Qiu is so smart. It's just that Zhang Tingjian, as a clerk in charge of drafting the six documents and edicts, has been flirting, as if he was in a court meeting. Shangguan Jun has to relax a lot, of course this should be related to his current idle position.

"Come on, sit here!"

Shangguan Jun only glanced at him and immediately waved to Gao Qiu to sit next to him.

On the other side, Su Guo was already sitting down on Zhang Tingjian's left hand, so Zhang Tingjian naturally couldn't speak any more.

"Hello, three uncles!"

He walked to the stool, greeted the three of them, and then Gao Qiu slowly sat down.

The middle-aged man stroked his beard and nodded with satisfaction, "No, good! He is well-educated and gentle, but he has not lost Mr. Su's face!"

"Uncle praised it!"

With a shy smile, Gao Qiu did not feel anything because the other party praised him. After all, no matter how he thought about it, he would also see Su Shi's face. It was not that Gao Qiu was really good.

"Okay! What's the name of Uncle? If you don't dislike me, just call me brother. I studied at the downstream of Mr. Su's school in my early years. I was a disciple of Mr. Su. If you call me uncle, where did you put Mr. Su? No! No!" The middle-aged man nodded constantly, obviously very satisfied with Gao Qiu's performance, but he was more serious in terms of title. "But you can call these two people their uncles, after all, these two people are not young anymore."

"Hey! Brother Huang, what are you saying? What do we mean by being not young? We are almost the same age as we should say that, so we have to make a good argument!"

The middle-aged man sitting on Huang Tingjian's right hand was a little unhappy, and stood up with his eyes stared.

"Hey hey! What Lao Zhang said makes sense. Brother Huang, if you really want to do this, then you have to follow your two nephews to call us uncle. How about it, are you calling me?"

Shangguan Jun spoke in time and helped him speak.

At this time, Gao Qiu realized that he had guessed two of the three people wrongly. Except for Huang Tingjian, the other two people completely reversed. He asked Gao Qiu to sit down, and it turned out to be Zhang Tingjian.

However, it is okay to think about it this way. Although Zhang Tingjian is in charge of the six documents and is responsible for drafting edicts, he does not have much contact with the emperor on weekdays and does not need to work too hard. However, Shangguan is different. As a daily man, he naturally needs to be vigilant at all times.

"Ha! You two! We're all in our hands. It's boring to take advantage of you like this. Nephew, do you think so?"

Huang Tingjian is extremely literary and is not inferior to ordinary people when he quarrels, but he says, "Two fists cannot beat four hands." At this time, he can only turn his attention to Gao Qiu and seek help.

As for Su Guo, a foolish boy, Huang Tingjian and the other three of them had seen it just now, so they would not look for him at this time.

"Well! My uncle's words make sense, and everyone is in contact with each other. Although my uncle once studied at the teacher's school, my husband once said that he is both a teacher and a friend, so I don't think it is necessary to change his uncle."

Gao Qiu really regarded Huang Tingjian as his elder. Putting aside the rest, his age is here. Huang Tingjian is only nine years younger than Su Shi, but he is about thirty years older than Gao Qiu. He actually didn't suffer any loss by calling his uncle Gao Qiu.

"Haha! What a tactful brat! My uncle can't tell you, come on, I'll give you a cup!"

Huang Tingjian smiled and shook his head, and held up his wine glass.

"Hey! Uncle, I can't drink, it's really not possible!"

Seeing that Zhang Tingjian beside him had already taken the wine pot, Gao Qiu waved his hand quickly. If he really drank wine, the serious business would be delayed.

"I can't drink? What do you mean? Grand Secretary Su is very talented and has an extraordinary alcohol tolerance. Although his alcohol tolerance may not be as good as that of Mr. Qinglian who has a hundred poems on wine, it is definitely not comparable to that of ordinary people. How can you, a kid, not drink when you grow up by his side? Could you be perfunctory to me, right?"

Huang Tingjian's face was full of suspicion, obviously distrust of Gao Qiu's statement.

"Hi! My uncle doesn't know. I've drunk alcohol, but I don't know what's wrong. I get drunk as soon as I drink, and I'll be unconscious after just one sip. I don't have much problem, but what should I do if I lose my three uncles' interest?"

Gao Qiu was sincere and had no choice. If he came over in his previous life, let alone Huang Tingjian, he wouldn't care even if these three people were together. The title of "Sanjin" was not a compliment from others, but was drunk from white wine over fifty degrees.

"You..."

The elders toasted the younger generation but refused to accept it. Huang Tingjian felt his face was dull and his face became gloomy.

"Uncle! Ji Min has been in poor health since she was a child, otherwise she would not have stayed in Tokyo Bianliang back then. She has improved a little over the years under the treatment of Mr. Qian Yi, but it is difficult to drink. In this way, I will drink it for Ji Min!"

Su Guo, who was beside him, finally played a role at this time, and he touched the glass with Huang Tingjian instead of Gao Qiu, and then drank it all in one go.

"Oh! So there is such a thing, why didn't you say it earlier? So ~! Huh! By the way, how about your health? No big problem, right?" With the steps, Huang Tingjian's face became much better. After drinking wine, he glanced at the side, then lowered his voice and said with a smile: "If you are not in good health, don't play like this. Three, tsk, I haven't done this before!"

"No, uncle, what do you mean? Why can't I understand?"

Gao Qiu knew that he had invited Huang Tingjian and the other two, but why did this sound wrong?

"Hehe! Are you still hiding it from us? After we came in, we all saw it. Two people are about the same age as you, one is about thirty years old. You are very lucky! Don't lose your body!"

Zhang Tingjian, who was sitting next to Gao Qiu, smiled, and looked a little like Gao Qiu's friend.

"No...oh~! You said three of them! It's not what you thought!" After hearing Zhang Tingjian say this, Gao Qiu immediately understood which three of the 'three people' were. He slapped his thigh and defended him: "One is my childhood sweetheart, but the other one is not what you uncle, you are the princess. And that one... I can't tell you clearly, can you three not be so serious!"

"I know! Princess Gun Country! I've seen it, seen it!"

After following the emperor for many years, Shangguan Jun naturally knew Zhao Yuer. After hearing what Gao Qiu said, he immediately waved his hand.

"Hey? There is a princess inside? Which one is it? I didn't rude just now, right?"

Hearing that the eldest princess was there, Huang Tingjian immediately became nervous. Thinking about the fact that he didn't seem to be rude just now, but he was still worried, so he spoke to Shangguan Jun beside him to verify.

"That's not, but I said Ji Min, where has the eldest princess taken with you? If you have any hardships, tell my uncle that there are so many difficulties, and I will definitely help you!"

I don’t know the specific situation, but for Su Shi’s face, Shangguan Jun has already made a promise.

"No, you're better off drinking, three uncles! I can't explain this to you three!"

Gao Qiu wanted to explain but had no idea how to speak. After thinking for a long time, he gave up and argued with the three elders about this, which would be impossible to have a result.

Not to mention in the Northern Song Dynasty, even in modern times, how can I explain marriage to my elders clearly? Even if it is a normal relationship between men and women, as long as it is closer, the next question for the elders will inevitably be "when will we get married", and then we will follow the question of "how many children are you planning to have", "whether you want a boy or a girl" and "what can you do or a girl". In the marriage of younger generations, the Chinese nation has been in line with each other, and it is so unreasonable.

"Okay, okay! We won't say it! We won't say it! Come, drink! Drink!"

Perhaps because of fear of being rude, Huang Tingjian sat upright and called his two friends to drink.

These three are all famous figures. Although they said that they had drunk wine, they still said the same thing - "Hundred Poems of Fighting Wine". The three of them were slightly drunk talking about the world. They first started from thirty years ago, then from north to south, and then from east to west, which allowed Gao Qiu to gain a good experience.

It can be said that these three people are already one of the few knowledgeable people in the world, but they are a little worse than Su Shi, that is, Gao Qiu stayed with Su Shi for a short time, otherwise he could also talk a few words.

After a few rounds of drinking, Su Guo was already drunk. Gao Qiu took advantage of the situation because he didn't drink, and he was still sober. Although the remaining Huang Tingjian and the other two were not drunk, they were still a little unconscious.
