The Jiang family’s servants began to move wine jars one by one to the west chamber.
Jiang Dezhong looked very generous, as if he wanted to entertain his son-in-law and grandson well, and said with a wave of his sleeve, "I will give you two dishes"
Old fox.
Zhang Zhouxin said, I can’t hide this evil idea from me. The advantage of having a full meal before coming is reflected. If I let you just eat food and drink, then my advantage will not be lost
"Don't let people think that my son-in-law and I are just here to make ends meet. Let's just drink and not engage in evil deeds. Or should I tell my father-in-law that you don't dare anymore"
"Whoever doesn't dare to drink, just drink."
Jiang Dezhong glared at Zhang Zhou. Of course he knew the dangers of drinking on an empty stomach, but now he was staying up late and without food. Drinking like this would greatly reduce his alcohol capacity, but he did not treat Zhang Zhou’s He took his drinker seriously and sneered, "You will vomit after a while, and no one will take you back."
"Father-in-law, you are too worried. I can crawl back by myself. Anyway, the dog will lead the way. I can't." Father-in-law, who died on the way, please come."
Zhang Zhou specially asked someone to bring up a big bowl, fill a bowl for Jiang Dezhong, and fill his own bowl as well.
Jiang Dezhong said to his servant, "Keep an eye on me and don't let him spill anything. I'm just waiting to see his joke."
"Gudong Gudong"
< p>Half an hour later.Jiang Dezhong held an empty wine jar and sat cross-legged on the ground. Several servants went up and pulled together, but they couldn't pull him up.
"Don't tear my clothes."
Zhang Zhou stood alone and said in a steady and long voice, "Father-in-law, let's come again. We haven't finished drinking these two jars yet. How can we get under the table?" Brother, help your grandpa up."
"Cough cough cough"
Jiang Dezhong's old face turned red. After listening to his son-in-law's words, his old face turned red and he put his hands on the ground and tried hard. , buttocks didn’t move at all.
“Drink”
Face didn’t allow him to give in. Even if he was sitting on the ground, he still had someone fill up the wine for him.
But he just took a sip and spit it all over the servant who poured the wine.
"Father-in-law, it seems that today's victory or defeat has been decided. The fifty shi of white rice"
"Give it to him, give it to him"
Jiang Dezhong was thorough this time. I lost my temper.
Zhang Zhoudao said, "It's empty talk. I need to establish a written document. I agreed to borrow it. My son-in-law will never take advantage of it. However, the space in my house is small and it is easy to attract snakes, insects, rats, and ants, so I will store the rice in it first." In your warehouse, I will go back to get it. Please bring me pen, ink, paper and inkstone."
"Master"
"Take it, take it"
Zhang Zhou. As a winner, he is not arrogant when he wins. When he picked up his pen, he said that the writing was like a god, and the words were written extremely fluently. After finishing writing, he asked Jiang Dezhong to sign it, but the old man's hand trembled wildly, and even the pen could not be moved. Can't hold it.
In the end, Zhang Zhou only pressed his fingerprints and left the Jiang family with his "trophies" and his son.
But Zhang Zhou’s steps were smooth, as if he had never drunk, which made Jiang DeZhong was dumbfounded.
"Dad, what happened?"
Zhang Zhou's brother-in-law, Jiang Shanquan, the eldest son of Jiang Dezhong, came back from abroad after hearing the news. He didn't see his brother-in-law or nephew, only his father holding a wooden tree. Bucket vomit.
The old servant on the side said helplessly, "Young master, our master competed with the second master of the Zhang family for wine and lost, so I lent him fifty shi of grain. The master has competed with countless people in his life, and he is still the first." "I lost for the first time."
Jiang Dezhong couldn't help but stand up straight, but he was still trying to show off. "You bastard, you don't have any knowledge at all. Do you think I really lost this fight? This is called strategy. He owes others, so he might as well owe As a father, if you go back to collect debts from him like this and he doesn't pay back, why don't you just send your sister back to be vomited?"
You are still showing off with your mouth, but you are very honest with your body.
Jiang Shanquan looked puzzled and said, "Why did Bingkuan come to our house to borrow food? Even if we can't eat, we can just borrow money. What's the use of borrowing food?"
"Bah, that boy He said there was going to be a disaster in Huanghuai and that the price of rice would rise sharply. I believed him. A dandy like him would lose all his money in business. Why are you trying to get me some sobering tea? ”
“How did that bastard have such a strong capacity to drink and vomit?”
Zhang Zhou felt a little better after traveling through time. Even after drinking nearly two jars of low-alcohol liquor, he left the Jiang Mansion. The door opened, and the body started to shake a little, but the mind could still stay awake.
"Dad, grandpa said he would give us fifty kilograms of rice. Why don't you find someone to take it away and keep it at his house? Will he recognize it next time?" Zhang Jun felt that his father had done something wrong.
Zhang Zhou said in a calm tone, "Your grandpa deliberately gave me a chance to win against him. He will not default on his debt. Besides, the food is safe in his warehouse. I can also use it to fight against him." . If you transport it back home, it requires money, not to mention cars, horses, and power, and it is not easy to store it. If someone comes to rob it, can we stop it?"
"Oh," Zhang Jun seemed to understand.
"You lead the way, my eyes are a little blurry. If I can't hold on, just leave me on the roadside and go back and ask your mother to find someone to take me back."
"Okay"
The father and son supported each other, walked and rested along the way, and finally returned home.
After Zhang Jun knocked on the door, Jiang Pingyu and Han Qing came out to help the person into the hospital. Jiang Pingyu was still talking about "Why do you have to drink so much wine?"
Zhang Zhoudao "Madam, I'm not messing around. I'm having a drinking contest with your father. I beat him and he agreed to lend me fifty shi to start a small business. This is two hundred coins. I got it from my eldest brother. Yes, no need to pay it back."
"Ah"
Jiang Pingyu and Han Qing were stunned.
Zhang Zhou reluctantly held up his tired body, forced out a smile and said, "Madam, I did not disappoint you, right?"
"Husband" Jiang Pingyu was also very moved.
Zhang Zhou said, "I really can't hold it any longer. Let me take a nap first. I may have caught the wind and cold recently. It may take me several days to recover after this meal of wine. When I recover, I can use your father's The fifty kilograms given to me will help us earn a fortune.”
Han Qing asked, "Are you going to gamble?"
"It's not about gambling, it's about doing business. My husband will never touch unclean things." Zhang Zhou corrected.
Jiang Pingyu said hurriedly, "Okay, help him to rest quickly. Husband, don't say anything anymore. You are the head of this family. We will all count on you in the future. Please stop working so hard." The body is important."
Gongyuan, inner curtain.
At the end of three days of grading, an inner curtain officer selected two papers and showed them to Liu Ji and Wang Hao, who were the examiners of Yingtianfu Township Examination.
"Two superiors, the review of the four essays in Zhu Juan's first session is coming to an end. Here we have selected two excellent papers, both of which have been approved by more than six marking officers, specially brought here. Let you two take a look."
Liu Ji took the two papers, looked at one of them and said, "I am impressed by this. He is talented and has a very profound understanding of the classics. The vocabulary and allusions are all appropriate, and it can be said that he is the best candidate to explain Yuan in this Jiangnan Township Examination."
Wang Hao picked up another copy and said, "But I think this one is better. "
Liu Ji asked "Why is this?"
Wang Hao said, "Look at his explanation of the aspirations of all benevolent people, and his understanding of loyalty and forgiveness that extends to others, and treats the world with mercy. From the beginning of the Ming Dynasty to the end of the Ming Dynasty, his talent for establishing himself and governing the world was beyond words. Although the use of classics and allusions in his articles was not perfect, the imperial examinations of the Ming Dynasty selected officials, not talents. "Ah."
"Jizhi, you mean that when I take this book, I pay too much attention to the explanation of the meaning of the scriptures." Liu Ji seemed to have an epiphany, "Speaking of it, it's really what you said, From the perspective of conception, it is still yours, more authoritative and balanced. Then use this as the solution to the Yuan Juan." Wang Hao said, "There is no rush, wait for the papers in the next two games. After reading it, it’s not too late to make a decision. Speaking of which, we have been away from Beijing for more than a month. It’s time to finish our inner errands and leave for Beijing.”
Liu Ji smiled and said, “There’s no rush.” , I'd better wait until the Luming Banquet is over before leaving. Even I want to see what the person who can write such an article looks like. They say that there are many talents in Jiangnan, and it is really so. "Please remember to bookmark the latest website. The fastest and free reading without anti-theft
