While Liang Yan was still sitting cross-legged in the room meditating, he heard footsteps outside the door, and then someone knocked on the door and asked, "Is Junior Brother Liang here?"
"Here we come, Senior Brother Xue!"
Liang Yan stood up quickly and opened the door, only to see Xue Tianyu fully dressed and waiting for him at the door.
"Junior Brother Liang, it's getting late. The spiritual wine there is in short supply, and the limit is only a hundred jars a day. If you go there too late, you might be disappointed."
"There is such a thing! If Senior Brother Xue didn't tell you earlier, let's set off immediately." Liang Yan smiled slightly, closed the door with his backhand, and walked out of the inn side by side with Xue Tianyu.
At this time, there was a horse-drawn carriage waiting at the door. It seemed that Xue Tianyu had already arranged it.
"It is forbidden to fly with a vehicle in this city. Junior Brother Liang, why don't we learn from the common people today, drive on a trip, and drink wine together? Wouldn't it be wonderful?"
"Haha, Senior Brother Xue really knows how to have fun, and Liang must accompany him!" Liang Yan said, opening the door curtain and stepping into the carriage first. Xue Tianyu followed closely and sat down opposite him.
The carriage driver was a white-haired man with a pipe in his mouth. At this time, he flicked the whip in his hand and slapped the old horse in front on the buttocks. The old horse was in pain. As the horse's hoof kicked, the wheels began to rotate slowly, carrying the beam.
The two of them bumped into each other and drove towards the east gate of the city.
Liang Yan was sitting in the carriage, thinking that Xue Tianyu was going to ask questions again to find out his details. Unexpectedly, the other party seemed to have changed. Not only did he not ask, but he talked about himself like bamboo shoots pouring beans.
past.
This Xue Tianyu originally had a free and unrestrained temperament. At this moment, in the carriage, he told his past events mixed with some strange stories from the Yue Kingdom. Liang Yan listened with gusto. During this period, he even couldn't help his curiosity.
He also asked a few questions.
".That's it! I didn't expect that Senior Brother Zhang Song would be so interesting. Just because of your unfounded words, he actually stayed outside a woman's boudoir for three days and three nights." Liang Yan said with a funny face.
"Haha, that's not true. It wasn't until the third night that he realized that this so-called 'beauty' was actually a seven-year-old baby. Her face at that time was exactly the same as a pig's liver!"
"Is it true, as you said, that he played the flute outside the window of this seven-year-old girl for three days and three nights, just to win the heart of a 'beauty'?" Liang Yan asked curiously.
"Then how can it be false? I lied to him and said that this was one of the four golden flowers in the southeast of Yue Kingdom, and he believed it. Hey, it's no wonder that he was bothering me so much at the time, and I just happened to be
I took over an important task from the sect, so I had no choice but to make this decision."
"Haha, I didn't expect that Senior Brother Xue, who looks so serious on weekdays, would actually make such a joke in private. A few days ago, I saw you guys going head-to-head in Xuanwu Pavilion, and I thought you were incompatible with each other!"
Xue Tianyu smiled slightly after hearing this, and seemed to want to say something more, but then he heard the coachman outside the car tighten the reins and said loudly:
"Two distinguished guests, the place has arrived!"
The two looked at each other in the car and smiled, then jumped out of the carriage.
After Liang Yan landed, he looked up and saw a wine shop built of mahogany and hay in front of him. It had three floors. The door lintel and window edges were all carved with patterns and leaves, making it look antique. There was also a bamboo pole stuck in the courtyard with a piece of red cloth on it.
Blowing in the wind, there are five characters written clearly: "Nothing more than a hundred restaurants".
"A good one is no more than a hundred! Is it true that we only sell a hundred jars a day?" Liang Yan said with a sly smile.
At this time, Xue Tianyu had already paid the fare, turned around and said with a smile: "Brother, how could I lie to you? Let's go. If we go late, we might not be able to get a drink."
After he finished speaking, he took the lead to lead the way, and Liang Yan followed closely. The two of them walked into the hall one after another. There were already many drinkers sitting on the first floor, most of them were monks in the middle stage of Qi refining, and they were exhorting each other to drink.
, seemed very cheerful.
At this time, a man who looked like a clerk came up to Liang Yan and said with a smile: "Oh, you two, it seems that you are not local monks, you look a bit strange."
Xue Tianyu nodded and responded: "It is indeed our first time here, but we have already heard of your restaurant's name."
"Haha, there's no such thing as a good reputation! Sir, if you drink to your heart's content, then it's a good wine. If you don't drink to your heart's content, no matter how famous you are, it's useless. Since it's your first time here, I'll take you to the private room upstairs.
, the environment there is quiet and suitable for taking your time and savoring it.”
"That's what I meant!" Xue Tianyu said with a slight smile.
"Okay, please come upstairs!" The waiter stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation. Liang Yan and Liang Yan did not refuse, and went directly to the second floor and sat down in a private room.
"Wait a moment, you two. The wine and food will be served soon." The waiter wiped the table and went downstairs.
Liang Yan waited for him to leave and immediately praised: "Senior Brother Xue really has a discerning eye. The so-called aroma of wine is not afraid of the depth of the alley. This wine shop is opened so far away from the town, but it can still have so many drinkers. It seems that
It must be a peerless wine, junior brother, I’m really looking forward to it.”
"Ha! Junior brother is indeed a sensible person!"
As he spoke, Xue Tianyu leaned back on his seat, glanced out the window intentionally or unintentionally, and suddenly said as if he remembered something: "By the way, I forgot to tell the guy just now that this wine must be placed in a special container first."
It will become more mellow and sweet after it has been kept for a period of time.”
As he spoke, he took out a small bronze cauldron from his sleeves and placed it on the table, and then said, "Can you trouble me, Junior Brother Liang, to go downstairs and hand this small cauldron to the clerk? Please be sure to put the wine in this small cauldron first."
The time it takes to burn half a stick of incense can’t be more, and it can’t be less!”
"Oh? Is there such a thing?" Liang Yan reached out and took the small bronze cauldron on the table, played with it for a while, and finally nodded: "I'll go down now, senior brother, wait a moment."
After he finished speaking, he picked up the small cauldron and walked down the stairs.
Liang Yan came to the first floor of the wine shop and saw that in just a few moments, there were already many more drinkers on the first floor. It was almost full, and the waiter didn't seem to be in the hall anymore.
He walked through the crowd and came to the counter. Just as he was about to ask a few questions, he saw a few people walking in at the gate.
The person at the front was wearing a gorgeous brocade robe, with an emerald green bamboo flute stuck at his waist. He was walking happily with his hands behind his back, like a graceful young man from troubled times.
Behind him were two women, one of whom was dressed in red, with gleaming eyes, and every gesture seemed to be charming; the other was dressed in green, with cold eyes, like an iceberg beauty.
As for the waiter from the shop just now, he is currently accompanying Mr. Jinpao and saying something with a flattering smile on his face.
"Huh?"
After entering the shop, the young master in brocade robes glanced at Liang Yan, then looked at the small bronze cauldron in his hand for a moment, and finally said leisurely:
"I've seen this cauldron before. Boy, are you from the Yungang Sect?"
Liang Yan frowned slightly when he heard this, and said calmly: "So what if it is, so what if it isn't?"
"Asshole!"
A shout came, but the cold woman in green stepped forward. Her almond-shaped eyes were wide and her eyebrows were raised, and she angrily said: "Whatever the handsome man asks you, just answer it! It's so unclear,
I think you are tired of living!"
As she spoke, she pulled out the long sword from her waist and pointed it straight at Liang Yan's face. She looked as if she was about to behead the person with the sword if she disagreed with her.
