Chapter Forty-Second

The moonlight is like snow, pouring on the Luoshui River in the south of the city.

The Luoshui gurgling by did not seem to be nostalgic for the beautiful moonlight, but did not stop at all. This lively water flow made the moonlight like a silver screen break into blossoming silver flowers.

Pieces of silver shavings.

Looking from a distance, there is a young man wearing a light yellow straight-sleeved dark coat by the water. He is holding a celadon wine bottle. He seems to be slightly drunk. His hair is not tied up, and he looks like he is sixteen or seventeen years old.

The young man in question must be a certain student of Taixue. Just look at his features and eyes, but they are full of maturity and pride that are different from ordinary people. This is none other than Sima Shi, the eldest son of Sima Yi, the Marquis of Xiangxiang.

Master Sima looked at the gurgling Luoshui in front of him, raised his head and lifted the pot, and laughed loudly. At this moment, he suddenly felt unprecedentedly relaxed and happy. As the eldest son and elder brother in the family, he had too many things to bear, and he only

At this moment, facing the bright moon and starry sky, the gurgling water of Luo River, and taking a swig of wine, he felt that he had truly become a young man.

"Brother, why are you drinking alone? Also, if you don't have a good wine vessel when you drink, isn't it a waste of this full pot of good wine?"

Master Sima was stunned for a moment, then looked back at the person behind him. He must be a student in Taixue. He saw that the person had beautiful features, a face as white as jade, and an extremely gentle voice. If it weren't for the fact that the person was wearing men's clothing,

, Master Sima almost thought he was a girl. At this moment, the man was holding two wine glasses and looking at him with a smile.

"This little brother, you look like... like a person..." Master Sima, who was already slightly drunk, was in a daze and excited. He took the wine glass handed to him and said,

Fill the pot with wine. This kind of wine vessel with four legs on the bottom and patterns on the top is the gong. It was popular as early as the Shang and Zhou Dynasties. Today, it has long been regarded as an antique. However, when drinking with this gong, pour

It's also quite interesting.

"I'll give him a drink so that I won't be hurt forever..." Master Sima raised his glass and drank it all in one gulp.

"Hey, who is the person that brother mentioned that looks very similar to me?"

After hearing this, the handsome young man's face showed a trace of blush.

"Tell me about her," Master Sima said with a drunken look and a rare silly smile: "She should be the most beautiful woman in Luoyang City...the most beautiful..."

When the handsome young man heard this, his brows trembled.

——

On the long street of Jinyang Gate, Miss Wei Yuan from the Wei Mansion was walking home. Not far away, the guards were waiting for her.

"You two are here to pick me up again today. Where is my brother?" Wei Yuan asked.

"Master Cao Xi invited our young master to go to Mang Mountain in the northern suburbs tonight to drink and admire the moon, so he sent us two to take the young lady back to his home." Two personal soldiers of Wei Lie, the eldest son of the Wei Mansion, replied.

Mang Mountain is the northern barrier of Luoyang, the capital of Wei, with its back on the Yellow River and the imperial capital in the south. Looking south from here, you can overlook the entire city of Luoyang, and even the sparkling Luoshui River in the distance can be vaguely seen.

fundus.

In the distance, Luoyang City under the moonlight is brightly lit and people are coming and going.

There is no curfew at this moment. There are three major cities and twenty-four lanes in the city. On each long street, there is an endless stream of tourists, and they are all scenes of busy traffic.

"Master said, if you climb Mount Tai, you will make the world smaller. In my opinion, climbing Mount Mang is not interesting at all."

Gao Xun, who had just recovered from his leg injury, couldn't help but sigh when facing the beautiful scenery in front of him.

"Yes, everyone in the world says that Mang is the home of the dead. But when I came here today, there was no air of death at all. Instead, it made people happy and cheerful, hahaha..." Wei Lie looked down.

The lights of Luoyang in the south made me feel open-minded and I couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"With this beautiful scenery, you should have good wine to accompany it, so you can be happy!" Cao Xi picked up the wine jar in his hand and was about to take off the cork and drink.

"Why are you so anxious? Isn't it a pity that there is no good container for such a good wine?" Xia Houxuan grabbed Cao Xi, then took out a small wooden box and opened it. It turned out that there was

They are eight exquisite gongs. It is said that these gongs were used by the prince and friends when his father was assisting Prince Pi in the East Palace. Later, the prince gave them to his father. There were originally five pairs of ten gongs.

Only, now there are only eight in them. My father has always cherished these wine vessels, but for some reason today, there are two missing in them.

"These wine glasses are quite exquisite. You can tell at a glance that they are antiques." Fu Gu, who has always been studious and fond of ancient utensils, picked up a wine vessel and played with it so much that he couldn't bear to pour wine into it.

, Xun Can, the young master of the Xun family with an unruly temperament, half-jokingly called Fu Gu an "ancient fool". Zhuge Dan, the oldest among the people, looked at the people around him laughing and cursing, but he just smiled and said nothing. Except

In addition to being free and easy when facing Xia Houxuan, he was always like a father and brother to other young people, and he was full of care and tolerance for his younger friends.

"Come on, come on, let's not go home until we're drunk tonight." Cao Xi said, raising the wine jar and filling the glasses in everyone's hands with wine one by one.

I saw that the wine slurry in the jar was quite viscous, like glue and paint. I could tell at a glance that it was a good wine that had aged well.

"Come on, do it!"

"Dry!"

"Hahaha, good wine, Cao Xi. If you steal your father's good wine, aren't you afraid that your father will beat you?"

In front of him, he gestured to pour himself a drink.

"What are you afraid of? I'm an adult. How could he hit me casually?" Cao Xi didn't drink much wine on weekdays. After drinking two glasses of fine wine, his cheeks were already flushed: "Xun Can

, your father, Xun Lingjun, is an unparalleled and humble gentleman, why don't you learn to be so good at wine?"

“Who says you can’t be a gentleman if you drink?”

Xuncan retorted with a smile while drinking.

"The tiger is still young, but you can drink less." Xia Houxuan looked at Yu Huan who was staring at the wine jar with a curious expression, smiled, and filled Yu Huan's glass with some wine.

"Brother Xuan, although we have been through life and death together, we have never gotten drunk together. How can this be done? Come on, come on, today, I want to have a good drink with Brother Xuan!"

When Zhuge Dan saw that everyone was drinking happily, he couldn't help the drunkards making a fuss.

"Hahahaha, okay, Xuan, let's get drunk with my brother, Mr. Xuan, today!" Xia Houxuan raised his glass, clashed it with Zhuge Dan's wine vessel, and the two of them drank it down.

"Wine and song, life geometry?"

Cao Xi was so drunk that he unconsciously began to recite the short songs of his late king Cao Cao and his (righteous) grandfather.

"It's like morning dew, it will be more bitter when it goes away."

Xia Houxuan smiled, and then Cao Xi recited the sentence "The past days will be more miserable." For no reason, he thought of Lu Yan, Yu Jin, and his master Yu Gui.

"Be generous with generosity, and worry will be unforgettable!"

Zhuge Dan beat the rhythm with his hands and sang a line.

"The only solution to worries is Du Kang!"

Xun Can was laughing and drinking heavily. He had the best capacity for alcohol, but he also drank the most, so he was already quite drunk. This sentence fits his current state very well.

"Hey, the deer roars, the food in the wild is ping, I have a guest, playing the harp and sheng!"

"The mountains never get too high, the sea never gets too deep, the Duke of Zhou vomits food, and the world returns to its heart!"

The young people just exchanged cups and cups, looking up at the stars and the world in the distance.

——

On the streets of the city, a cool breeze blew on my face.

Master Sima and Xia Houhui were staggeringly supporting each other. Xia Houhui, who was pretending to be a man, looked at Master Sima, who was usually mature and steady, but was now swaying and drunk. She thought to herself: It turns out that his

There is so much baggage in my heart. If I can share some of it with him, it will be a waste of his friendship...

——

Above Mang Mountain, the moonlight was like water. Several young people were drunk without knowing it.

The drunker Xia Houxuan got, the paler his face turned. At this moment, he was leaning on the tree trunk beside him to rest, and Cao Xi was also leaning on the dead branch beside him. Xun Can was the most funny, using the dead branch as a sword,

Got drunk and danced on Mang Mountain.

Although Xun Can is not very good at swordsmanship, he is quite chic and cute at the moment because of his free and easy attitude.

Looking at the prosperous imperial capital in the south, Wei Lie was so excited that he raised his head to face the stars and the bright moon and shouted: "I, Wei Lie, will definitely become a famous person in the world one day, assist the wise king, and become famous all over the world!"

"I, Xun Can, will definitely marry the most beautiful woman in the world in the future and become the most romantic and talented man in the world, hahaha..." Xun Can, who was waving a dead wood sword, said with a smile in the wind.

Xia Houxuan looked at Xun Can, who was free and crazy, sincere and enthusiastic, and felt quite cordial, with a smile on his lips.

Zhuge Dan, who was still sober, was holding a glass of wine. Hearing Xun Can's words, he couldn't control himself and burst into laughter. He laughed and scolded Xun Can: "You, you are a good-for-nothing.

Every day I know that I miss beautiful people..."

Fu Gu drunkenly said with a smile: "Fu Gu will definitely assist the Holy King in the future and bring peace to the world..."

Xia Houxuan's drunken eyes were hazy, looking at the bright lights in the distance. Suddenly, Master Yu Guina's warm smile and his frozen eyebrows seemed to be right in front of him. Xia Houxuan couldn't help but burst into tears. He

He said silently in his heart: I, Xia Houxuan, will definitely reveal the unknown secret, and I will take good care of the tiger, so as to comfort my master and his spirit in heaven.

Yu Huan drank the least amount of wine and just stared at the sky in a daze.

"Brother Xuan."

Zhuge Dan and Xia Houxuan were leaning side by side on the trunk of a dead tree. He smiled drunkenly and said:

"Being able to get to know you and become your brother is my blessing in my last life, Zhuge Dan!"

Xia Houxuan smiled:

"Brother on vacation, why are you so disgusting all of a sudden..."

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Zhuge Dan couldn't help but laugh.

Cao Xi, who was already drunk and groggy, was mumbling something at this time.

"Zhibi Gaogang, my horse... Xuanhuang, I will drink it... and drink wine to maintain... that I will not be hurt forever..." [Note 1

At this moment, he seemed to see a beautiful figure wandering in front of him.

Wan is in the water, Wan is in the water, Wan is in the middle of the water.
