Lord: Start with a book of Water Margin

Chapter 204 Drinking, sex and wealth
At night, Zhao Zhen's family had dinner. The couple sat in the living room drinking tea and chatting. There were five dogs and two tiger cubs sitting in a row in the living room. Jin Cuilian was holding a cat in her arms.

As for the colorful golden pheasant, Cheng Wan'er gave it a name, Yunjin, and then sent it to the Kushutun chicken farm to become king with Xuelihong. Of course, Xue Lihong also has a name, Yun Xue.

One day when they were playing at home, Cheng Wan'er and the other three had nothing to do. They discussed for a long time and named the advanced spiritual species in their home one by one.

Xue Shangfei is now called Wangcai, two Liangshan thin dogs, [South Dou Dog] is called Wangfu, [Big King Dog] is called Wanglu, and two Liangshan Mastiffs, the male one is named Wangshou, and the female one is named Wangxi .

There are two tigers, both female tigers. The yellow-haired one is called Wu La, and the black-haired one is called Wu Na. The theory of blood is vividly reflected in these ferocious beasts. How many days have passed since the two tigers are now at the same level. Although they have no skills yet, ordinary hunting dogs will be trembling when they see them. For this reason, Zhao Zhen instructed Li Ji, the rabbit, to put several hounds together with Wu La and Wu Na, and comforted them for three to five days before they were cured.

Zhao Zhen took out the white snake egg and said to Bai Zhi: "Madam, look at what this is?"

Bai Zhi took it, looked at it, and said to Zhao Zhen: "Officer, is this a goose egg? It's much bigger than a goose egg."

Seeing that Bai Zhi couldn't recognize it, Zhao Zhen said: "Madam, this is a white snake egg, and when it hatches, it will be a spiritual seed. I know that you also want to raise a snake after you become a snake doctor. The [Soldering Iron Head] last time you I'm so excited, now this snake egg can make up for your regrets last time."

When Bai Zhi heard this, she really smiled. That night, Bai Zhi took the initiative to discuss with Jin Cuilian and let Zhao Zhen stay in her courtyard.

That night, with the indescribable charming scenery, the last two people at the bottom of the box also learned to do it once, and finally tried all the postures in the eighteen small boxes. As the saying goes:
Against the current / punting the boat / the jade stock shakes, and the boatman / steering the rudder / golden lotus.

Dragging mud/bringing water/the two are crazy in love, Zhen Yun/You Yu/can't argue with each other.

On the second day, after having breakfast, Zhao Zhen practiced martial arts with Coach Zhang. Hou Jian, Zhu Fu, Wu Yong, Xiao Rang and other heroes who were not in the army also joined in.

Everyone practiced martial arts together and had a great time. After having lunch together, everyone separated and went about their business. Zhu Fu went to the tavern and Hou Jian went to the silk and satin shop to sew flags and war coats for the armies.

The skin of the green anaconda was also put into the workshop at the back of the shop. Once Tang Long finished making the tools, he would use it to make snake skin armor.

After having lunch, Zhao Zhen rested for a long time, called Zhao Yuanli and Zhao Ji, brought wine and food, and went to Baota Temple with Ruan Xiaoer, Jiao Ting, and Bao Xu.

Zhao Zhen and the others avoided the main hall and went straight to the dormitory at the back. The four of them entered the backyard and saw Lu Zhishen lying on a high chair in the courtyard, basking in the sun and snoring loudly.

When Zhao Zhen and others saw it, they did not shout, and asked Zhao Yuanli and the others to spread the dishes on the stone table in the courtyard. Zhao Zhen opened a jar of apricot blossom wine, and immediately, the aroma of wine and apricot blossom filled the yard.

Lu Zhishen's nose twitched, he woke up, and shouted: "Who drinks in the temple and doesn't call them Sajia?"

Zhao Zhen and the other four laughed loudly after hearing this. Bao Xu said, "Brother Zhishen, aren't we here to have a drink with you?"

Lu Zhishen sat up and saw that it was Zhao Zhen and others. He stood up and greeted them. The five of them sat around the table. Zhao Zhen asked the big bowl to be filled with wine, and saw that the wine was clear and transparent, with a strong floral fragrance. After a sip, it was mellow and soft, with a long-lasting fragrance.

Lu Zhishen said: "Master, this wine is really good."

Zhao Zhen said: "The recipe for [Apricot Blossom Wine] is now available. Although there is not much in the cellar, it will be brewed in the spring next year when the apricot flowers bloom. From now on, this wine will be like [Yicheng Wine] and [Huajia Baijiu] , [Yimeng Mountain Wine] and [Peach Wine] are average and not scarce.”

Lu Zhishen said: "That's good. Among these wines, Sajia's [apricot blossom wine] is the best."

Jiao Ting listened and said: "Brother Zhishen, you have never drank the small wine in [Huajia Baijiu]. In July and August, in the hot summer, if there are ice cubes, drink a bowl of it and you will be all over the body." through."

Ruan Xiaoer and Bao Xu nodded repeatedly and said, "Not bad."

After Lu Zhishen heard this, he quickly asked: "The Sa family has never drank it. Let's try it next year."

Zhao Zhen said: "Every wine has its own taste. But you can't drink too much. After all, there are too many examples of drinking causing trouble."

Lu Zhishen said: "The senior officials also know that the Sa family once served as a ministering monk in the Daxiangguo Temple. Although they were always stationed in the vegetable garden outside the Jujube Gate, they have been to the temple many times. I have seen poems about wine, sex and wealth in the Zen room." Zhao Zhen asked curiously: "There are still people who write poems about wine, sex and wealth?"

Lu Zhishen smiled and said: "Hahaha, there is more than one person. The Sa family saw that it was interesting, so they also wrote it down carefully. Tell it to all the brothers."

"This first poem was written by the monk Foyin. The poem says:

There are four walls of wine, sex, and wealth, and everyone is hiding inside.

Whoever can step out of the circle will live longer even if he does not live to be a hundred years old. "

Zhao Zhen said: "Master Foyin saw through the world of mortals, and his poems are full of Zen."

Jiao Ting, a newlywed, also commented: "I and other common people have lost their wealth, sex, and wine, so I feel very unhappy after hearing this."

Lu Zhishen continued: "Here is Dongpo's poem:

He who drinks without getting drunk is a hero, and who is not infatuated with love is the highest.

Illegitimate gains cannot be obtained, and if there is anger, it will disappear on its own. "

Ruan Xiaoer said: "This is good. You don't get drunk when you drink, you don't lust after women, and you don't care about money. What you are talking about is me and other green forest heroes. It's obvious."

After everyone heard this, they raised their glasses together.

Lu Zhishen added: "This is not the end. Prime Minister Wang Anshi and Emperor Shenzong also visited the Daxiangguo Temple and wrote poems together. The Prime Minister said:

There is no etiquette without wine, and the road is colorless and sparsely populated.

People without wealth will not work hard, and a country without spirit will have no vitality.

There is also a poem about the prosperity of the official family:
Wine helps rituals and music bring health to the society, and color nourishes the souls.

With abundant wealth and food, the family and the country are prosperous, and Qi is condensed in Tai Chi to determine Yin and Yang. "

After hearing this, everyone drank two large bowls in a row.

Bao Xu said: "Officials, why don't I listen? Everyone has his own reasons."

Zhao Zhen said: "Brother is right. These people have different positions and express their own opinions. Naturally, they say different things, but they each have their own reasons."

The five people commented again, but they seemed not to say anything. Except for Zhao Zhen, the other four people were all rough and could only recognize a few words at most. Bao Xu said: "High officials, you should call brothers Wu Yong and Xiao Rang to comment. We will just drink together."

When everyone heard this, they laughed again.

From noon to evening, everyone drank three jars of [apricot blossom wine], and everyone had five or six points of wine. Everyone couldn't help but talk about political affairs. Taking advantage of the excitement, Lu Zhishen, Jiao Ting, Ruan Xiaoer, and Bao Xu started to compete with each other in the backyard. Zhao Zhen came up to join hands from time to time, and also learned a few actual Sanshou moves.

After enjoying the drink, everyone ate the hangover soup and agreed to go to the snow-capped peaks tomorrow before they dispersed.
