Chapter 63: Picturesque Rivers and Mountains
As February approaches, spring is still coming, and the willows all over the city have already shown a bit of greenness.
At noon, Xu Buling walked out of the palace gate and turned over to the Sun's shop in Dayefang.
Because the empress dowager was very angry before entering the palace, she didn't even have a mouthful of tea, not only talk about food, but also talked about it. However, after a heart-to-heart talk, she finally convinced the empress dowager to ask him quietly. As for what would happen, it seems that she can only wait.
Speaking of which, after Ning Qingye heard the ridiculous detoxification method, he always felt strange when he saw the queen mother again. Well... I always thought of the scene where the queen mother rolled her eyes...
However, there is no sign of the eight characters, so it is not easy to think deeply about where to go.
Xu Buling shook his head, dispelled the throbbing caused by the puberty hormones in his heart, and with a light "drive" sound, he rushed to the bluestone alley of Dayefang.
There were always a few drinkers sitting in the Sun's shop. Old man Sun was still wandering around in front of several big wine jars, making wine and serving dishes, and talking to the drinkers about going from north to south.
"Shopkeeper, come and make a pot of wine."
"Okay...Oh, the young master is here, long time no see."
"I'm a little busy at the end of the year and don't have time to come."
Manager Sun smiled and took the vermilion wine gourd from Xu Buling and used a wine spoon to make the clear wine:
"If there weren't servants coming to drink wine every day, the old man would have thought the young master had quit this."
"I'm afraid no one can quit if Manager Sun drinks the wine."
Manager Sun nodded with smugness, thought for a moment, and sighed again: "A few days ago, there was a gangster who was about to die. He was still here to ask for a sip. The old man didn't know if he should be happy."
Xu Buling had heard of such things, thought for a moment, shook his head and chuckled: "Going out with a bowl of wine and going on the road with a bowl of wine, it can be considered as the road being completed. It is better than dying in a remote countryside without even a hope. In my opinion, it should be happy."
Manager Sun nodded: "That's true."
Xu Buling held the horse and waited for a moment. After a moment of thought, he suddenly remembered the broken jade burnt that Mrs. Lu had poured him over and asked:
"By the way, Manager Sun, before the New Year, someone from home bought two pots of strong liquor. Although the taste is not very good, it is even more intense than the broken jade flake. It is really rare. Do you still have it here?"
Manager Sun shook his head and smiled: "That's not the wine, it's only strong, it tastes bad. There are some left in the shop. If the young master doesn't dislike it, just drink it."
"It's rare to drink me down, so I don't dislike it."
"That's OK."
A moment later, Manager Sun came out with a small wine pot and handed it to Xu Buling: "Oh, this person usually forgets the best after drinking it, but the young master did the opposite."
"I am nostalgic and used to it."
Xu Buling opened the wine plug and smelled it. The smell of wine hit his nose hit his face. He nodded with satisfaction and led the horse out of the alley.
Manager Sun put a towel on his shoulder, looked at the back of the person and horse, pondered for a moment, and muttered: "It's so nostalgic, I'm afraid that if I see the new one, I forget the old one..."
As soon as he finished speaking, a gentle voice responded outside the railing of the restaurant:
"As a man, it is natural to be fond of the new and get tired of the old, and he is afraid that he will not be able to see the new one."
Manager Sun was stunned and looked up. Outside the restaurant, a middle-aged scholar appeared. He was facing the elegant, and was in his forties. He was holding a black oil-paper umbrella in his hand. He stood outside the railing of the restaurant and looked at him.
Manager Sun carefully identified it, and his eyes showed a little surprise: "Xiao Xu, haven't you left the pen and retired to Zhongnan Mountain to retire? Why are you back?"
Xu Danqing put the oil-paper umbrella behind her and smiled helplessly: "The man in the palace gave me a pen a few days ago. If I don't accept it, I'll probably have to bury it directly in Zhongnan Mountain and have to go out and travel to the world... Why didn't you know you were hiding in other wines before, so I'll give me a sip."
Manager Sun smiled as if he had seen an old friend, took out another pot of wine, and looked up and down a few times:
"After drinking, your child will be crazy when he gets drunk. If you hadn't entered the Peach Blossom Forest of Cui's family after drinking, a girl might have even come out to have a drink..."
Xu Danqing shook his head gently: "Who knew about the good and bad luck of people every day? I haven't started writing for more than ten years. At first, I was arrogant and proud, but now I dare not draw... I can't do it without drawing."
Manager Sun wiped his hands with a towel and sighed: "You brothers, only Master Song is smart. He knows that he can't turn back after entering the world. He went on a career in the officialdom from the beginning. Look at the people who are now doing it, the Imperial College Chief, and no matter how the prince and the prince meet, he has to call him a sir."
"There are only a few students of the teacher who are a master, and they are incomparable."
Xu Danqing opened the wine plug with one hand, leaned in front of his nose and smelled it, and his brows frowned:
"What kind of taste is that? I can continue to drink this..."
Manager Sun curled his lips: "Everyone has their own preferences. Don't waste it if you don't want to drink it. It's better to use it to cure meat than to pour it."
Xu Danqing looked at the wine pot for a moment, but still smiled: "You have to try it. Wine is like a beautiful woman. I used to look at the beauty's skin, but now I think about it. Among the beautiful women, there are also beautiful women who are all over the world."
"Oh~ I haven't seen any heavy taste for more than ten years. Don't draw a Zhaohong Ba Chou, it's too hurtful..."
"I want to live a few more years, but I don't have the courage..."
"hehe……"

The other side.
Xu Buling rode through the neighborhood and came to the small courtyard in Qingyou Lane.
Although he had learned from Lao Ba that Ning Qingye had left, Xu Buling still came over and took a look.
When I opened the old courtyard door, the yard was neatly tidy, and a few tender green buds were drawn under the corner of the wall. The well was covered with a winnowing basket. The wine jar under the eaves were placed in a very eye-catching position. Each jar of wine represented Ning Qingye to search for him in the shop.
Xu Buling raised his eyebrows, walked under the eaves and looked at them for a few times, and pressed a note under the wine jar at the top.
Remove the wine pot and pick up the folded paper, and a few lines of beautiful handwriting are imprinted into your eyes:
Mr. Xu, I left in a hurry and forgot to tell you something. If the detoxification method is useful, you owe Zhongli Chuchu a life. Remember to thank her in the future.
It’s a pity to throw these wines away, it’s a bargain.
Finally, Zhu Manzhi is my confidant. If you dare to bully her, you and I will never stop.
Farewell forever.
Xu Buling frowned, looked at a pile of wine pots, shook his head and muttered:
"How can I leave forever until I die? There is a problem with the logic..."
Having said that, Xu Buling still smiled. If the detoxification method is really useful, let alone owing the blue-eyed girl a life, she can give her body a promise.
