In other words, he came to Xiao Han today just to complain and have a drink. He didn't even think about asking Xiao Han to give any advice to the so-called Ministry of War.
Su Dingfang is a warrior, but he is not a fool!
If he were really stupid, he probably wouldn't have been able to achieve the unparalleled feat of "destroying the three kingdoms before and after, and capturing their masters alive"!
He knew very well: The current Ministry of War, for officials like himself who could not stand on the stage, it was okay to say that it had little effect. At most, they would be investigated. As long as their buttocks were clean, it would not be a big deal.
But for a general of Xiao Han's level, today's Ministry of War is definitely a huge sinkhole! Whoever touches it will die! No exceptions!
Otherwise, do those civil servants really think that a ban will silence all the military attachés in Chang'an?
"Hey, let's not talk about this anymore, what a shame! Is there any wine at Mr. Hou's house?"
After chatting with Xiao Han for a while, Su Dingfang felt a lot better. He sipped his lips and started begging for a drink with a smile.
Xiaojia's fine wine is the best in Chang'an, but the price of Xiaojia's fine wine is the best in the world!
Nowadays, all the wineries in Chang'an that have Xiao's fine wine regard it as their treasure. The price is so high that even a fifth-grade official like Su Dingfang would sigh!
Is Su Dingfang rich?
It seems a little bit.
After all, during the war against the Turks, Li Jing turned a blind eye and allowed them to reap a lot of benefits.
But Su Dingfang didn't know how to live well. After returning to Chang'an, he had very little money left after eating a few meals with a group of military friends, visiting a brothel a few times, and going to a casino a few times.
As a result, now, if you want to drink, you have to come to Xiao Han, your rich brother.
"Haha, you have enough food and wine!"
Naturally, Xiao Han would not refuse Su Dingfang's small request. With a wave of his hand, Xiaodong, who was waiting on the side, immediately understood and ran to the kitchen to inform the waiters.
The Xiao family’s banquets never disappoint others!
When night fell, plates of dishes with different flavors were brought to the table. In order to entertain this future "little expert in destroying the country", Xiao Han specially asked people to dig out two jars from the garden and put them on display for several days.
Wine of the year.
Delicious food and aged wine! This treatment immediately made Su Dingfang smile crookedly with joy. Without Xiaodong and the others waiting on him, he directly slapped off the mud seal on the wine jar. In an instant, a strong aroma of wine rose up.
The house is filled with fragrance.
"Hahaha, good wine!"
After taking a deep sip of the wine, Su Dingfang laughed loudly. He held the wine jar and filled a bowl for Xiao Han himself, and then gave himself another bowl. As for Xiaodong, you idiot? No share!
drink wine!
There are no generals in the Tang Dynasty who are not good at drinking! And according to Xiao Han's observation, their drinking patterns are surprisingly consistent!
He started out very proud, then became weak in the middle, and finally his eyes were dull.
Liu Hongji is like this, Chai Shao is like this, Cheng Yaojin is like this!
As for Su Dingfang, that is no exception!
He knew that Xiao Han drank a lot before, but he didn't expect that Xiao Han drank so much! After several large bowls of wine, he almost fell under the table. He was still calm and relaxed, except that he went to the latrine a little more often.
Nothing unusual.
"No... I won't drink anymore! I can't drink... you can't drink it!" Finally, Su Dingfang took advantage of the clear light at the end of the mourning platform, swayed against the wall and was about to walk out.
There is a rumor in Chang'an that you can get drunk at Xiaohou's house, but you must not stay overnight! Otherwise, the hangover you will have the next morning will be unforgettable for the rest of your life! Although Su Dingfang is already drunk, he has never forgotten this motto.
.
"Brother Su, it's getting so late, why don't you leave tomorrow? Let's set a table tomorrow!" Xiao Han stepped forward to support the shaking Su Dingfang, and Xiao Han thoughtfully advised him to stay.
Unexpectedly, it would have been better if he didn't say this. As soon as he said this, Su Dingfang immediately shook off his hand as if he had seen a ghost, and rushed towards the horse tied at the door with all his strength, startling the horse that had just had a feast.
, kicking his hooves and hurriedly hiding aside.
"Brother Su, be careful! Don't be anxious..."
"Brother Su, forget it if you can't climb up!"
"Brother Su...the reins haven't been taken off yet..."
"Brother Su? Hey..."
A moment later, looking at Su Dingfang fleeing in the darkness, Xiao Han rolled his eyes and sighed heavily.
These guys, I haven't used these tricks to stop drinking for a long time, okay? I didn't see Liu Hongji last time and slept at home all night? Isn't that nothing?
The rapid sound of horse hooves faded away, and the night sky became silent again. Even the chirping of insects and birds, which are the most common in summer, stopped in this late night. For a time, it seemed that the whole world had fallen into deathly silence.
Standing at the door, Xiao Han stretched out, looked at the dark long street, and was about to turn around and go back to the house to sleep. Suddenly, a long howl in the mansion broke the dead silence!
"Ouch..."
This sudden long howl frightened Xiao Han so much that he almost fell down on the steps.
When he hurriedly regained his balance, before he had time to go to Xiaoqi to settle the score, the next moment, the whole village was boiling!
Dogs bark, cows roar, horses neigh!
In the sky, countless birds fluttered and flew around in panic.
On the ground, rats, hares, and even weasels all ran out of their hiding places, running like headless flies along the long street. Some even panicked and bumped into each other.
"Is this... the earth dragon turning over?"
Seeing this spectacle, the first thought that flashed through Xiao Han's mind was that there was going to be an earthquake!
In an instant, the scene of the massive earthquake he had personally experienced in the Qinling Mountains came to his mind, making him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave!
After that great change, Qinling Mountains has still not fully recovered. He simply can't imagine what Xiaojiazhuangzi will look like if he comes here again!
"Everyone, come out! Quick!" Xiao Han trembled and roared, and the next moment, Xiao Han seemed to be crazy, using his hands and feet, he rushed towards the house!
My wife and daughter are still in there!
"Qiang Qiang Qiang..."
The urgent sound of gongs sounded in Xiaojiazhuangzi!
Immediately afterwards, countless disheveled bankers rushed out of their homes, greeting their families and looking around cautiously.
"What's wrong?"
"There is an enemy invasion?!"
"what happened?"
On the street, the bankers who had woken up from their dreams were approaching Xiao Han's mansion. They had just woken up from their sleep and had no idea what was going on. They only knew that when the gong sounded, something big must have happened! So at all
Not daring to delay, he immediately rushed out of the house with his family and friends!
At the entrance of Xiao Mansion.
At this time, Xiao Han had already rushed to the open space at the door with his daughter in his arms. Behind him, a group of disheveled servants of the Xiao Mansion also rushed out behind him!
"Xiao Hou, what's going on?"
On the long street, an old man with white beard and hair wearing only a long robe saw Xiao Han and quickly stepped forward to ask.
It’s the Lantern Festival, I wish all my friends a happy Lantern Festival and stay young forever!
