Jiang Wang hid in his mansion in Xiashan Mountain, refusing to allow outsiders and not even keeping any servants.
After asking Yu Liyang to take a seat in the courtyard, he went to bring four jars of wine.
After thinking about it, I brought two more jars.
The fragrant snow osmanthus, which is hard to find, has also been moved here. It is standing proudly in the wind in the courtyard.
Of course, the scent of osmanthus cannot be smelled now.
The so-called "the floating mountains are old and the fragrant snow is withering" refers to the two most famous osmanthus trees in the Eastern Region. In addition to the moving scenery, the former calms the mind and the latter makes people happy.
A low bluestone table stood under the osmanthus tree, and two futons looked like jade carvings.
Jiang Wang brought some more iron berries and some pastries before kneeling down opposite Yu Liyang.
From the beginning to the end, Yu Liyang just knelt and sat quietly under the fragrant snow and osmanthus, like a figure in a meticulous painting, himself in the scenery... watching Jiang Wang busy coming and going.
At this time, Fang said: "I didn't expect that the courtyard of Marquis Wu'an was so quiet."
This is the first time they have met since the donation to the Imperial Ancestral Temple.
Before presenting gifts to the Imperial Ancestral Temple, they had never met each other.
Yu Liyang stood too high, and Jiang Wang was far from qualified to drink with him at that time.
"Besides practicing, I have nothing else to do." Jiang Wang said warmly, "I'm used to being undisciplined, so I don't need to serve you."
Six jars of deer-crowing wine are lined up beside the table, like six white deer approaching the snow-covered osmanthus.
Not to mention the taste, just the jar that contains the wine is extraordinary.
The whole body is jade color. If you tap the altar wall with your fingers three times, the jade color will slowly fade away, and the bottle will become transparent, revealing the amber liquid. After three breaths, it will return to jade color.
It is the so-called "White Deer Hidden Forest".
The overall shape of the wine jar is that of a white deer kneeling on all fours. The antlers on both sides are particularly delicate. Hold one side on each side and twist it in the wrong direction before unsealing it.
The deer lips are the mouth of the altar, and the antlers are the two wine glasses, which are called "antler bottles".
This wine must match this bottle to have an endless aftertaste.
Jiang Wang unscrewed two antler bottles with his own hands and filled them with wine. He only made a gesture of invitation and said nothing.
Yu Liyang picked up the wine bottle and took a gentle sniff, first looking for the fragrance, then sipping it carefully, tasting the alcohol slowly, and finally drinking it to the full.
Playing with the deer antler bottle, he had a Taoran look on his face. He said in a diffuse voice: "The wine of the Eastern Kingdom is drunk in Lushuang. The wine of Lushuang is the best in Xunlin." The best product in Xunlin is called "Lu Ming"
'. The annual production of this wine is only twenty jars, so it is hard to get it easily, but Marquis Wu'an actually has this in stock.
What is hot? You can see it here."
"Actually, it's hard for me to buy it myself." Jiang Wang said, patting the two altars near his hand: "These two altars were won by me in a bet with General Yan Po of Yi State."
Of course, he didn't say what he was betting on.
He patted the two altars in front and said, "These two altars were given by my good friend Yan Fu."
The gift of Marquisship given by Young Master Yan filled ten carts. Two jars of Lu Ming Wine were indeed nothing.
He paused and pointed to the two jars in front of him: "These two jars... are some of the wine that Yan Fu brought when he came to my place for a gathering a few days ago. At that time, there were still two jars left untouched by Lu Ming, so I moved them all.
Out."
The so-called inventory was almost all collected by Yan Fu, who was a little embarrassed. He stopped talking and poured wine for Yu Liyang.
To put it into detail, not only the wine, but also the entire table were gifts from others.
Of course, the iron berries were given by Lian Que, and the cakes were all brought by friends. Among them were the crescent cakes made by Jiang Wuhua, the prince of the East Palace.
Of course, even this Xiashan Villa is originally built with great emphasis on Xuan Sheng...
Hearing Yan Fu on the left and Yan Fu on the right, Yu Liyang paused and naturally thought of the reception he had received in Bei County in the past few days. He couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "The Yan family is indeed very good..."
Lord Jiang felt the same way.
So they touched the antler bottles and drank one cup at a time.
The two of them were drinking and chatting like this, feeling quite happy.
The clouds pass through the clear sky and the wind passes through the empty courtyard, making people feel drunk.
Just a few rounds of drinking.
Yu Liyang looked at Jiang Wang and suddenly asked: "Don't you ask me why I came to visit Anlebo today?"
Jiang Wang invited Yu Liyang for a drink, but he didn't really have any other ideas. It just happened that the weather was nice, he was in the mood for wine, and he saw that this man was a charming person, so he wanted to have a drink with him, that's all.
It is rare for him to be so spontaneous. In the past few years, he has been driven by tangible and invisible pressure almost all the time, and he has no leisure time.
At this moment, he just poured wine and said with a smile: "What kind of person is Yu Shangqing? You can meet whoever you want, so why do you need a reason?"
Yu Liyang smiled, raised the bottle and said, "Let's have a drink!"
Jiang Wang naturally accompanied him.
After finishing the bottle, Yu Liyang smiled lightly and said: "An Lebo is a smart man and knows that it is inappropriate and not safe to see me now."
"He is another person with only a little cleverness. He doesn't know that in the eyes of Emperor Qi, he doesn't exist at all, and he doesn't care about what he does at all. Whether he is really happy or not thinking about summer, or he is hiding his clumsiness and pretending to be stupid. , it’s not harmful at all.”
"You're right...I just suddenly wanted to see him today."
"I wonder what he would say if he saw me."
"I want to ask him if he has ever felt guilty."
"I want to see what he looks like today and how he is different from what I saw thirty-three years ago..."
Yu Liyang said a lot, and then stopped suddenly, probably because he felt that there was actually no need to say anything. In the end, he just said "ha",
"Actually, it's difficult to be free even if you follow the path."
Jiang Wang just listened quietly and didn't speak.
But Yu Liyang asked again: "Who ordered Shang Yanhu to recklessly launch the Changluo Jue Formation and cause trouble and chaos in the world? Do you think the Marquis of Wu'an knew this?"
Jiang Wangdao: "I did see the Marquis of Beixiang take out the Imperial Seal of Xia Ting at that time."
"It's An Lebo's order." Yu Liyang said: "Shang Yanhu, like the Xi Meng Mansion, are staunch imperialists. Such a thing would not be done unless An Lebo said it himself."
Lu Ming wine was flowing in his blood, but the alcoholism had dissipated. Jiang Wang said softly: "That's it."
Judging from this, Sicheng is still alive and well today, and he can still be awarded the title of Anlebo. He is singing and dancing as the emperor, which is really a great honor to Yu Liyang.
And the same dead person, under the premise of saving Si Cheng, caused trouble and rebelled against his fate. In the end, it was attributed to King Wu Sijiao instead of the Queen Mother of Xia.
I think it has something to do with Yu Liyang's will.
"An Lebo wants to activate the Changluo Jue Formation, and King Wu acquiesces. An Lebo wants to blame the Xi Meng Mansion, and King Wu acquiesces. An Lebo also wants to blame the Queen Mother, and King Wu acquiesces... But I can no longer agree. Zhengdao Zhenjun
, in the sixteenth year of the Zhu Kingdom, this is the only thing I did not agree with King Wu."
Yu Liyang looked at Jiang Wang and said, "This is why I'm sitting here today, drinking with you."
Jiang Wang didn't know what to say, so he poured wine.
Yu Liyang didn't know what he thought of for a moment, his eyes looking into the distant sky were as passionate as the waves in the water. He sipped the wine gently, his posture was really gentle.
He smiled and asked: "A person has dedicated his life to the country, and even his life has been turned into firewood. After such a person dies, should he not be disturbed anymore and should he be left in peace?"
"She should be respected." Jiang Wang said.
"Every day during the Shenwu Era, she was worried about the future of that country. In thirty-three years, she never had a day of leisure. The Xia Kingdom was built in ruins. When it fell into ruins, she would not be able to survive.
That's it." Yu Liyang said slowly: "The Queen Mother is like this, and the Xi Meng Mansion is like this."
The Queen Mother of Xia was burned in the fire, and the Xi Meng family was killed by tens of thousands of troops. They were all the silhouettes of the collapse of the empire in the past thousand years. It was so disillusioned.
"The so-called hero." Jiang Wang raised the antler bottle and poured it gently in front of the fragrant snow osmanthus: "I will give you a toast from a distance."
The amber-like agar liquid soaks into the soil, and the chlorine emits a long-lasting fragrance.
Yu Liyang's eyes were complicated: Even Jiang Wu'an, who became a prince in the first battle, was willing to give them respect. I think they would be happy if I knew what I was doing."
Jiang Wang said sincerely: "My military exploits are a blessing from Heaven, but their deeds will remain in people's hearts forever."
"I made a mistake. If they know anything about it..." Yu Liyang leaned forward and said faintly: "They will definitely find a way to get up and kill you."
This sentence is really scary, especially coming from the mouth of a True Lord Yan Dao.
To be continued...
