Everyone had learned their lesson from yesterday. Other than Dian Wei and Huang Zhong, who were carried away, the others didn't drink much, but they could still walk back. Wang Ting, Mi Zhu, Hua Tuo, and the scholars sat at the same table. Everyone's hearts had a home to return to, and their hearts could not help but relax. Yesterday, they had drunk too much wine because they did not know how to drink, but today, they drank because they were happy. There was naturally a difference. Although everyone drank a lot, it was still within a controllable range. After dinner, Wang Ting and everyone agreed to meet in the hotel's conference room the next morning to discuss the future strategy.
On the way back, they happened to bump into Mi Jing and Gan Lu. They estimated that Wang Ting should have returned at this time to pick up Wang Ting and the others.
"Young Master, Eldest Brother, Second Brother, and Mister Hua Tuo didn't drink as much as yesterday. Should we go back and prepare some more?”Mei Jing asked jokingly.
Mi Jing and Gan Lu had been with Wang Ting for a few months now. The combination of ancient literary grace and the vernacular words of Wang Ting's previous life was becoming more and more natural. It would probably not be long before they became two people who had transmigrated. Whether it was in terms of thoughts or language, there was no need to talk about life.
"Ah, no, no matter how good the wine is, drinking too much is harmful to the body, right, my divine doctor! We'll just have some tea when we get back!" Wang Ting also joked with Hua Tuo casually.
"Speaking of wine, China was the first country to invent wine in the world, so there are many legends about wine. As we walk, I'll tell you a story about three drunkards:
'It's said that in Jizhou of the Han Dynasty, there was a Jizhou man, a merchant from the Western Regions, and a merchant from Persia. The three of them were very good friends. The three of them were very rich. When they had nothing to do, they would naturally drink together and talk about Flower Moon.
One day, this person from the Western Regions said,"We are so rich that we have enough money to spend for several lifetimes. We are tired of living like this every day. I wonder what fun things we can do?" The Persian thought for a while and said," There is a large desert on the road from Persia to the Great Han Dynasty. Why don't we go there to explore? I heard that immortals often appear there." When the Han heard that it was good, we prepared to go there.
Thus, the three of them set off on the agreed date. The three of them were wealthy people, but they had never ventured so far into the desert. Perhaps it was because they were not prepared enough, but the three of them quickly finished their food and water. Food was fine, but without water, they might die from the sun in two days. However, the three of them could not turn back now. They knew that there was nothing on the way here. They could only go forward. Perhaps they could find an oasis and survive.
Perhaps the three of them were not fated to die. As they were walking, the eyes of the Western Regiment man lit up. He found a pot of water buried in the sand. The three of them picked it up and shook it. There was actually water inside. The three of them were very happy, so they opened the kettle. However, to their surprise, an old man with a white beard came out of the kettle. The old man said that he was an immortal, and it was fate that he met them. He could satisfy three wishes from each of them.
The kettle was discovered by the people of the Western Regions, so the people of the Western Regions said first," After this expedition, I realized that I still don't have enough money. If I have enough money, I can arrange for the road to be repaired while I explore. That way, I can be safe when I'm in danger. So my first wish is to give me a large sum of money.'
As soon as he finished speaking, a large sum of money immediately appeared in front of him. The man from the Western Region looked at it and said,"It's still a little too little. Give me another sum for my second wish!"”After saying that, a large sum of money appeared in front of him. The man from the Western Region looked at it and said,"This should be enough. I have money. You can send me back. I don't want to suffer here anymore!"”As soon as he finished speaking, he disappeared and was sent back to his home by the immortal.
The Han people were very broad-minded and let the Persian speak second. So the Persian said,'I heard what my friend said just now and felt that it made sense. My first wish is also to give me a large sum of money.”The immortal had also given him a large sum of money.
"I think this money is enough. I know the fairies in the sky are very beautiful. My second wish is for you to give me a fairy to be my woman.”An indescribably beautiful fairy stood in front of him.
"I have money, a beautiful woman, and a wife. I'll go back and enjoy these things. This is my third wish!" When the Persian said his wish, he was sent home.
The last one was a Han. He thought for a moment and said to the immortal,"I have a lot of money. I don't need it. There are countless women, and they are not what I need the most. My biggest hobby in this life is drinking, so my first wish is for you to give me a bottle of immortal wine from your heaven for me to taste!”After the Han man finished speaking, the immortal gave him a bottle of immortal wine. This wine is different from the wine that the Han people usually drink. It's the same as the wine we brew at home. The Han happily tasted the immortal wine. When he finished the bottle of wine, he was still not satisfied, so he said to the immortal,
" I think this wine is delicious. I haven't had enough yet. My second wish is for you to get me another bottle.”Thus, the immortal had no choice but to give the Han a bottle of wine. The Immortal patiently waited for the Han to finish drinking and quickly said, Tell me your last wish so that I can go somewhere else!”
The Han man was already drunk, and when he heard that there was still the best wish, he sighed,"" After drinking just now, I realized how happy it is to have friends in life. My last wish is for you to bring them back.”As soon as he finished speaking, the Western Regioner and the Persian returned and the immortal left.
Hahahahaha, before Wang Ting could finish his sentence, they all burst into laughter. "Ridiculous! Wonderful, I wonder who created such a ridiculous thing. What a clever mind!"
Mei Jing, who was beside him, also held onto Gan Lu's shoulders with both hands and laughed." Young Master, where did you hear this from? Why didn't you tell my Lu 'er about it? It's really funny!"”Dew giggled along with Mi Jing.
"It's not over yet. Everyone, do you want to continue listening?”
"Of course I want to hear it. Young Master, tell me quickly!”This time, Ganlu said anxiously.
"Alright, I'll continue." The Western Regioner and the Persians were so angry after they returned. They came back too quickly. When they went back, they didn't even have time to drink a mouthful of water before the Han people made a wish to get it back. How could they not be angry? But what could he do? The immortal had already left. The three of them could only continue walking forward. However, their luck was really good. Not long after they walked, they picked up another bottle. After opening the bottle, another immortal came out. This immortal said that he was the younger brother of the immortal just now. His magic power was not as strong as his older brother, but he could still satisfy two wishes for each person.
Hearing this, the man from the Western Regions had hope of returning. He quickly pulled the Persian to the side and said," Brother, I think we should let the Han speak first this time. If we speak first and he brings us back, wouldn't he regret it to death?'
"Alright, let's do that."
Under the modesty of the Persians and the people of the Western Regions, the Han people were the first to tell the immortals their wishes."Immortal, I've just drunk the wine your elder brother gave me. It's still lingering in my mind. I've walked for a while and I'm a bit thirsty. My first wish is for you to give me another bottle of immortal wine!”Thus, the three of them watched as the Han man slowly finished tasting the wine. The Western Regionals and Persians who were watching from the side were extremely anxious. When the Han finished drinking, the immortal asked,"'What's your best wish?”
"I just drank a bottle of wine and I'm not thirsty anymore. I don't need anything now. My best wish is for you to leave now!”The immortal immediately disappeared.
"Hahaha…That's ridiculous. I really didn't expect it to be like this!”"I wonder what will happen to those two when they see the immortal leave!”" Surprise, surprise!" The few of them laughed so hard that they couldn't straighten their backs.
"Hahaha, my lord, you're really good. I really can't hold it in any longer. Please forgive Jia Hezhi for following me!”Only then did the few of them realize that there were two people following behind them. The two of them could not help but laugh. They really could not hold it in anymore and had no choice but to show themselves to meet the crowd.
Wang Ting walked up to him and saw that it was the young man who was coughing from time to time. Beside him stood a man who looked like a student of his age. He was dressed in white, had bright eyes and a straight nose, and had a resolute face. He had a beardless chin and looked very stylish.
"You said that your name is Jia, you are Zhicai. Is Jia's surname Guo and first name Jia?”Wang Ting's eyes lit up as he stared at the two of them.
When the two of them saw the look in Wang Ting's eyes, they subconsciously took a step back. They wondered what was wrong with their lord. Why did he want to eat people? "That's right! I don't know how my lord knows, but we've never told Mister Mo our real names! My lord is a person who doesn't come out of the world. Please enlighten me!”
"That's great. These two are as talented as Zhuge, Pang Tong, and Zhou Yu. Cao Cao values them very much.”Wang Ting was overjoyed.
" There's no need for Mister Mo to tell me about Jiahe's talent. Although he's not born, he knows all the scholars and talents in the world. Not only is Jiahe proficient in poetry and books, but he also knows the art of war and strategy. The two of them are like the stars in the sky. How can I not know them? Now that I know it's the two of you, how can I not talk about them over wine? Come, let's go back to my room and get drunk!"”After saying that, he held their hands and called for the others to go back together.
On the way, he chatted with Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai before finding out that Guo Jia, also known as Fengxiao, was from Yangzhai, Yingchuan (now Yuzhou, Henan Province). He was 19 years old this year and was studying in Luoyang. He was looking for an opportunity to be an official in Luoyang with Tian Feng, Xi Zhicai, and other good friends. After staying in Luoyang for a long time, their hearts became more and more gloomy. The big man was so helpless. After the three of them saw the newly produced Xuan paper and Wang Ting's poem, they had the intention to come and take a look. The ancient literati admired talented people, and the three of them were no exception. However, Tian Feng was invited by Yuan Shao and did not come with the two of them.
Xi Zhicai was also a native of Yingchuan County. He was a friend and had the word Zhicai. The two of them did not know each other at first. They met Guo Jia through Xun You in Luoyang. They both thought of each other as confidants, so they could come together.
Wang Ting was now surprised to see the legendary 'ghost genius' Guo Jia, and he had even accepted him as a hanger-on. This was too f * cking surprising. He didn't know how to walk anymore. Should he walk with his right leg or his left leg first? If he walked with both legs like a zombie, he would scare away the prey he had just caught. No matter how she walked back, she was happy.
In his previous life, Wang Ting only knew that Guo Jia was a genius. He didn't know where he was from or what his characters were. He really didn't know anything. He wasn't like the other transmigrators who had memorized the Three Kingdoms. Xi Zhicai himself had no recollection of it. In fact, it was not his fault. Xi Zhicai had never appeared in Romance of the Three Kingdoms. It was only mentioned in the Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms that after Guo Jia's death, Xi Zhicai took over Guo Jia's position. It could be seen that Xi Zhicai's wisdom was not inferior to Guo Jia's.
Sitting at the table, Wang Ting couldn't help but stare at Guo Jia. This made Brother Guo Jia very uncomfortable. Could this young master be as good as Long Yang? Wouldn't I be like a sheep entering a tiger's mouth? Although you're my lord now, I'm not prepared. Taking advantage of the coughing in her throat, she covered her mouth and lowered her head to think. Seeing Guo Jia cough, Wang Ting suddenly remembered that Guo Jia had died of illness. He didn't know when he died, but it was quite early.
"Fengxiao, if you don't reveal your identity, you'll lose your life. Do you know that?”Wang Ting's voice was very sudden, and Guo Jia, who had his head lowered, was caught off guard. When he suddenly heard Wang Ting's words from his previous life, he almost fell off his stool.
When Wang Ting saw this, he knew that he had acted suddenly and quickly came over to support Guo Jia. "Fengxiao, please forgive me for being rude. I saw Jia lower her head and cough just now, so I remembered something and spoke up. Haha!"
"However, you can't ignore this minor illness now. You have to prevent it from happening. I'm not speaking nonsense, but if Jia doesn't take it seriously, Jia Ming is only forty. If you don't believe me, you can ask the divine doctor to see if you're lying!”
At this moment, Guo Jia finally came to his senses. It's good that it's not Long Yang's good thing. I was scared to death just now.
Hua Tuo, who was sitting next to him, said,"Looking at how you're doing, do you have any trouble breathing?"”
"That's right. Please take a look, divine doctor. Jia Chang feels that there's a foreign object blocking his air passage.”
Hua Tuo took Guo Jia's arm and felt his pulse."It's not a serious illness, it should be a cold. But Jiading is a place where people drink good wine, so the original illness hasn't been cured yet. In addition to the excessive lifestyle and lack of drinking, the illness has worsened. As Young Master said, if we don't treat it as soon as possible, I'm afraid we won't live long.”Hua Tuo then looked at Wang Ting. This kid doesn't know any medical skills, right? How can he tell the patient's condition? Does he really know mystic techniques?
"I wonder why Fengxiao and Zhicai followed us just now?”Wang Ting said.
"Jiahe Zhicai was accepted by the lord, but because there were too many people, it was inconvenient to ask about the lord's specific plans. If we didn't ask clearly, the two of us wouldn't be able to sleep, so we came uninvited. Please forgive me, my lord!"
"Ha, Jia Hezhi, you don't have to be so polite. In the future, you don't have to call me Lord. You can call me Wang Sheng or Young Master. I also wanted to tell everyone at the gathering tomorrow so that everyone could have some advice. Since Jia Hezhi has just arrived, there is no hurry. He will stay with me later. Firstly, it will be easier for the divine doctor to give Jia medicine. Secondly, we will discuss it first thing tomorrow morning. At this moment, the house is full of confidants, so that I am honored to light up my humble abode. Let me use wine to vent my pleasure!”
"Come, let me toast everyone first!”After saying that, Wang Ting led everyone to drink in one gulp.
