Chapter 74: Scholar Liu Fengsui
Xu Zizhen didn't say anything more, Li Meng's slightly immature face was full of stubbornness, he understood that once he said a word again, then Li Meng would most likely find an opportunity to leave him and take revenge alone.
He is just a child, if he is allowed to mess around, something will happen sooner or later, and he will really die and have no face to see Li Sheng, so it is better to let him follow, at least not to leave his sight.
Li Meng simply cleaned up, took a small bag and followed Xu Zizhen back to the inn, the small box with the ashes was carefully wrapped around his waist with a piece of cloth, and two days later in the early morning, Xu Zizhen took him to the dock as promised.
The ship had finished loading, the owner waited on the shore early, Xu Zizhen discussed with him, and brought Li Meng on the boat together, he planned to paste some silver for the owner of the ship, which was counted as Li Meng's eating and drinking expenses on the ship, but the owner was quite open-minded, smiling and waving his hand, not caring about these at all.
Xu Zizhen took Li Meng onto the boat, put the burden into the cabin, and returned to the deck, he found that in addition to the owner himself and those boatmen, there was actually a young man who looked like a scholar, looking like he was in his twenties, with clear eyebrows, standing on the side of the boat looking at the turbulent river outside the boat, looking with emotion.
The same boat is fate, and this time the journey is not short, Xu Zizhen stepped forward and greeted with a smile: "This brother is invited, in Xu Zizhen, I don't know what to call the brother?" ”
Hearing this, the scholar hurriedly turned around and took a deep look: "Ah, Xiaosheng Liu Fengsui, I have seen Brother Xu." ”
Xu Zizhen smiled: "Liu Fengsui? What a name! Could it be that Liu Gongzi is also with this firm? ”
Liu Feng shook his head and said, "No, no, no, Xiaosheng is the same as Brother Tai, just borrowing a good trip." ”
Xu Zizhen said: "Oh? I don't know where Liu Gongzi is going? ”
Liu Feng said: "Xiaosheng is going to Lanzhou Mansion to celebrate my aunt's birthday, but where is Brother Xu going?" ”
Xu Zizhen clapped his hands and smiled: "This is really a coincidence!" I'm also going to Lanzhou, and it seems that we can go together after we get off the boat. Speaking of this, he looked at Liu Fengsui, "But this northwest corner is not very peaceful, Liu Gongzi is so weak and can't help the wind, how can he be alone?" I don't bring an entourage or anything. ”
Liu Feng said with a smile: "Xiaosheng's family is quite cold, and it is a long way to go to Lanzhou Mansion, so I am alone just to save some plate fees." After speaking, he also asked, "I don't know what Brother Xu is doing when he goes to Lanzhou Mansion for a living?" Isn't it also a relative? ”
Xu Zizhen saw that he looked sour and talented, and secretly laughed in his heart, and deliberately narrowed his eyes and grinned: "I heard that the northwest area is good for making money, and I plan to go there to be a horse thief and do some business." ”
Liu Feng was taken aback, and couldn't help but take two steps back, looking at Xu Zizhen with horror in his eyes: "Brother Xu, you ......"
Xu Zizhen smiled and returned to normal: "I'm joking, Liu Gongzi don't take it seriously." ”
Liu Feng tugged at the corner of his mouth, and reluctantly laughed: "Heh, Brother Xu scared me." ”
Xu Zizhen said with a smile: "Ha Luha, this is my fault, when I get off the boat, I will invite Liu Gongzi to drink to suppress the shock." ”
Liu Feng's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this: "Brother Xu, isn't it okay?" If you want to drink, why do you have to wait to get off the boat? ”
Xu Zizhen's eyes also lit up: "Oh? Do you have wine here? ”
He said that he would come to protect the ship for the owner, so naturally it was impossible to buy wine and bring it on the ship, and it would not look good when he was drunk, after all, he was rubbing the boat.
Liu Feng smiled casually: "Brother Xu, stay away." After speaking, he turned around and went straight to the cabin, and after a while, he turned out with two five-pound small wine jars in his hands.
Xu Zizhen was stunned: "I'll go!" Do you really have wine with you? ”
Liu Feng sat down on the deck like this, and the two jars of wine were placed in front of each other: "Xiao Sheng was still thinking that the journey would be lonely, and he was afraid that he could only drink alone, but he unexpectedly met a fellow practitioner like Brother Xu. As he spoke, he patted open the mud seal of a jar of wine, raised his head and took a big sip, and said with a smile, "The so-called fine wine is not separated, Brother Xu is not polite." ”
Xu Zizhen had already smelled the aroma of wine wafting from the jar, only to feel that the wine worms in his intestines were wriggling, and immediately sat down, picked up the wine jar and poured it violently, put down the jar with a bang, and praised loudly: "Good wine!" ”
This jar of wine is extremely sweet and mellow, obviously not ordinary, but Liu Feng followed a scholar to drink such a spirit, which made him a little unexpected.
Liu Feng smiled with Ha Luha: "The drunken road is stable and always there, and it is unbearable to go elsewhere!" Brother Xu, please! ”
Xu Zizhen raised the altar, and he also smiled: "It's done!" ”
The temperaments of the two seem to be completely different, and Liu Fengsui was frightened by Xu Zizhen's words threatening to be a horse thief before, but when it comes to wine, especially when the wine is consumed, the two become unconcerned.
Xu Zizhen didn't expect this weak and sour show to have such a wild side, especially when he was drinking, his bold appearance did not fall on him at all, and he suddenly felt like a confidant.
The cargo ship set sail slowly, the whirring river wind blew the sails to hunt, the sky was a little gloomy, and there were faint signs of rain, but Xu Zizhen and Liu Feng completely ignored all this, and sat on the altar and drank bitterly.
Wine is the most able to bring people closer to the relationship, after half a jar of wine fell into the stomach, Liu Fengsui no longer had the previous weak Swen style, but talked with Xu Zizhen, he is a scholar, he quotes scriptures and classics to talk about a wide range of materials, Xu Zizhen's eloquence is not bad, in addition to those things in his later life can not be said, but he also said a lot of Taoism.
Xu Zizhen complained through the wine, that is, what he did in Suzhou City, anyway, now that he has left Jiangnan, Hu Youzu and Kong Qilin's hands can't reach out to the Yangtze River, and he found that Liu Fengsui has a faint chivalrous spirit in his temperament, and he will never betray him to the government, and he has some inexplicable trust in this point.
Liu Feng became more and more excited with the more he drank, his eyes were getting brighter and brighter, and he also had some inexplicable taste when he looked at Xu Zizhen, when he heard Xu Zizhen say that Shen Zongwei had kidnapped the people's daughters and sent them to Jinguo, he was furious and scolded the dynasty, and when Xu Zizhen said that Shen Zongwei was blown up beyond recognition and died on the street, he laughed and clapped his hands and said that he was happy, and when Xu Zizhen said that Hua Ye would rather die than confide in a word, he cried bitterly and looked up to the sky and sighed.
It was close to noon that both of them were drunk, and fell asleep on the deck, and the two empty wine jars were rolling aside.
