Chapter 204: Wine, Sex and Wealth
At night, Zhao Zhen’s family had dinner. The couple sat in the living room drinking tea and chatting. Five dogs and two little tigers, Jin Cuilian, were sitting in a row in the living room. There was also a cat in his arms.
As for the colorful golden pheasant, Cheng Wan'er gave it a name, Yunjin, and then sent it to the Kushutun Chicken Farm to join Xuelihong to become the king. Of course, Xue Lihong also has a name, Yun Xue.
One day while playing at home, Cheng Wan'er and the other three had nothing to do. They discussed for a long time and named the advanced spiritual species in their home one by one.
Xue Shangfei is now called Wangcai, two Liangshan thin dogs, [South Dou Dog] is called Wangfu, [Big King Dog] is called Wanglu, and two Liangshan Mastiffs, the male one is called Wangshou, and the female one is Wangshou. One of them is called Wangxi.
There are two tigers, both female tigers. The yellow-haired one is called Wu La, and the black-haired one is called Wu Na. The theory of blood is vividly reflected in these ferocious beasts. How many days have passed since the two tigers are now at the same level. Although they have no skills yet, ordinary hunting dogs will be trembling when they see them. For this reason, Zhao Zhen instructed Li Ji, the rabbit, to put several hounds together with Wu La and Wu Na, and comforted them for three to five days before they were cured.
Zhao Zhen took out the white snake egg and said to Bai Zhi: "Madam, look what this is?"
Baizhi took it, looked at it, and said to Zhao Zhen: "Officer, Is this a goose egg? It's much bigger than a goose egg."
Zhao Zhen saw that Bai Zhi couldn't recognize it and said, "Madam, this is a white snake egg. I know you will be employed when it hatches. Snake Jiuling Doctor also wants to raise a snake, and you were so excited about the [Soldering Iron Head] last time, and now this snake egg can make up for your regret last time."
Bai Zhi listened, and sure enough. Be happy and smile. That night, Bai Zhi took the initiative to discuss with Jin Cuilian and let Zhao Zhen stay in her courtyard.
That night, with the indescribable charming scenery, the last two people at the bottom of the box also learned to do it once, and finally tried all the postures in the eighteen small boxes. As the saying goes:
Going against the current / punting the boat / the jade stock shakes, the boatman / steering the rudder / golden lotus.
The two are infatuated with each other, and Zhen Yun/You Yu/can’t argue with each other.
On the second day, after breakfast, Zhao Zhen practiced martial arts with Coach Zhang. Hou Jian, Zhu Fu, Wu Yong, Xiao Rang and other heroes who were not in the army also joined in.
Everyone practiced martial arts together and had a great time. After having lunch together, everyone separated and went about their business. Zhu Fu went to the tavern and Hou Jian went to the silk shop to sew flags and war coats for the armies.
The skin of the green anaconda was also put into the workshop at the back of the shop. Once Tang Long finished making the tools, he would use it to make snake skin armor.
After having lunch, Zhao Zhen rested for a long time, called Zhao Yuanli and Zhao Ji, brought wine and food, and went to Baota Temple with Ruan Xiaoer, Jiao Ting, and Bao Xu.
The three of Zhao Zhen avoided the main hall and went straight to the dormitory at the back. The four of them entered the backyard and saw Lu Zhishen lying on a high chair in the courtyard, basking in the sun and snoring loudly.
Zhao Zhen and others did not shout when they saw it. They asked Zhao Yuanli and the others to place dishes on the stone table in the courtyard. Zhao Zhen opened a jar of apricot blossom wine. Suddenly, the aroma of the wine was accompanied by apricot blossoms. The aroma filled the yard.
Lu Zhishen's nose twitched, he woke up and shouted: "Who drinks in the temple and doesn't call them Sajia?"
Zhao Zhen and the other four laughed loudly after hearing this. Bao Xu said, "Brother Zhishen, aren't we just here to have a drink with you?"
Lu Zhishen sat up and saw that it was Zhao Zhen and others. After the ceremony, the five people sat around the table. Zhao Zhen asked the big bowl to be filled with wine, and saw that the wine was clear and transparent, with a strong floral fragrance. After a sip, it was mellow and soft, with a long-lasting fragrance.
Lu Zhishen said: "Master, this wine is really good."
Zhao Zhen said: "The recipe for this [apricot blossom wine] is now available. Although there is not much in the cellar, next year It can be brewed in spring when the apricot blossoms bloom. From now on, this wine will be like [Yicheng Wine], [Huajia Baijiu], [Yimeng Mountain Wine], and [Peach Wine], and it will not be scarce."
< br>Lu Zhishen said: "That's good. Among these wines, Sajia's [apricot blossom wine] is the best."
Jiao Ting listened and said: "Brother Zhishen, you have never drank the small wine in [Huajia Baijiu]. In July and August, in the hot summer, if there are ice cubes, drink a bowl of it and you will be all over the body." "
Ruan Xiaoer and Bao Xu both nodded and said, "That's right."
After hearing this, Lu Zhishen asked quickly: "The Sa family has never drank it before. I'll give it a try next year. "
Zhao Zhen said: "This wine has its own taste. But you can't drink too much. After all, there are too many examples of drinking that cause trouble."
Lu Zhishen said: "There are also officials. I know that the Sa family once worked as a ministering monk in the Daxiangguo Temple. Although they lived in the vegetable garden outside the Jujube Gate, they had visited the temple many times and had seen the poem about wine, sex and wealth. "Zhao Zhen asked curiously." There are still people who write poems about wine, sex and wealth?”
Lu Zhishen said with a smile: "Hahaha, there is more than one person. Seeing it was interesting, I also wrote it down carefully. Tell it to all the brothers."
"This first song is from Buddha The poem written by the monk Yin said:
There are four walls of wine, sex and wealth, and everyone is hiding inside them.
Whoever can escape from the outside will live a hundred years. "
Zhao Zhen said: "Master Foyin has seen through the world of mortals, and his poems are full of Zen."
Jiao Ting, a newlywed, also commented: "I and other common people, without wine, sex and wealth, are very happy to hear this."
Lu Zhishen went on to say: "This is the poem written by layman Dongpo:
Drinking without getting drunk is a hero, and not falling in love is the highest.
Ill-gotten gains are not allowed. , if you are angry, it will disappear.”
Ruan Xiaoer said: "This is good. I don't get drunk when I drink. I don't lust after women. I don't care about money. It's exactly what we are talking about. It's obvious."
After hearing this, everyone raised their glasses together. .
Lu Zhishen said again: "This is not the end. Prime Minister Wang Anshi and Emperor Shenzong also visited Daxiangguo Temple and exchanged poems. The Prime Minister said:
No etiquette without wine, and colorless roads block people. Rare.
People without wealth will not work hard, and a country without spirit will have no vitality.
There is also a poem about the prosperity of the official family:
Wine helps rituals and music help the country to be healthy, and color nourishes the souls.
The family and the country are prosperous when wealth and food are abundant. Qi condenses and Tai Chi determines yin and yang. "
After everyone heard this, they drank two more bowls.
Bao Xu said: "Officials, why should I listen? Everyone has his own reasons. ”
Zhao Zhen said: "Brother, you are right. These people have different positions and express their own opinions. Naturally, they say different things, but they all have their own reasons."
The five people commented again, but they seemed not to say anything, except Zhao Zhen, the other four are all rough and can only recognize a few words at most. Bao Xu said: "High officials, you should call brothers Wu Yong and Xiao Rang to criticize. We will just drink together."
After hearing this, everyone laughed again.
From noon to evening, everyone drank three jars of [apricot blossom wine], and everyone had five or six points of wine. Everyone couldn't help but talk about political affairs. Taking advantage of the excitement, Lu Zhishen, Jiao Ting, Ruan Xiaoer, and Bao Xu started to compete with each other in the backyard. Zhao Zhen came up to join hands from time to time, and also learned a few actual Sanshou moves.
After having a good time, everyone ate the hangover soup and agreed to go to the snow-capped mountains tomorrow before they dispersed.
