Chapter 1798 Strange People
Chu Huan looked at the man and saw that the man was wearing a long gown, looking at him in his forties, but he was ungrateful and a bit sloppy. At this time, he was drunk and vomiting, and he looked even more embarrassed.
Huang Lan frowned and glanced at Chu Huan. Seeing Chu Huan calm, she said loudly: "Come here, I'll send Mr. Ximen back to rest first!" Two servants came from the side and wanted to come forward to support the man, but the man pushed him away, but he was still holding a wine pot in his hand, shaking his way into the hall.
Tonight, although Chu Huan did not ask Xu Shao and others to attend the banquet together, there were still some guards around him. There were warriors guards on both sides of the hall. The man was about to go into the hall, and a guard wanted to stop him. Chu Huan coughed in a deep voice, and the guard immediately retreated aside. The man shook into the hall. The people in the hall were of different colors, most of whom showed disgust.
"Mr. Ximen, you're drunk." Huang Lan seemed to be suppressing her temperament, but her tone was calm: "Go home to rest first, do you think?"
The man laughed, raised his hand and stretched out a finger, pointed at Huang Lan, and then blew a strange laugh, then lit it in and out for more than a dozen times, even Chu Huan also lit it. Everyone frowned, but heard Mr. Ximen laughing and said, "It's lively, true, fake, up and down, ghosts and monsters!"
"Ximen Madman, what do you mean?" A man in the hall stood up suddenly and said sternly: "You are going crazy somewhere else, no one stops you. What is the occasion today? How can you be so arrogant here?"
Mr. Ximen laughed instead of anger and said leisurely: "The wind is like a dream after the rain, and the sky and earth are hidden in the dark night. The southern mountain does not appear, and the fisherman's songs are not heard." Another strange laughter was made, and many people shook their heads, and some people whispered softly: "When I saw him coming to do it today, I knew that it was going to cause trouble, so I shouldn't let such a madman come in."
When Mr. Ximen heard the man's voice, he immediately turned his head over, his mouth was somewhat vague, and asked, "What did you say?"
The man was stunned and looked a little embarrassed by Mr. Ximen's target. Seeing Mr. Ximen walking towards him step by step, the man's face turned a little flustered, and he forced a smile: "Mr. Xiximen!"
Chu Huan was silent at this time, carrying his hands on his back, watching quietly, with great interest.
Mr. Ximen walked over, stared at the man, and suddenly shook his head and said, "I don't know what it means!" He suddenly raised his hand and patted the man's head.
The man was caught off guard and was hit in the head by Mr. Ximen. He screamed "Ouch" and then shouted anxiously: "Ximen Ximen Yi, what are you doing?"
Mr. Ximen laughed, said nothing, and turned around and left.
Everyone watched Mr. Ximen leave, and until his figure disappeared, they burst into a loud bang and talked a lot, so naturally there was nothing good about Mr. Ximen.
When Huang Lan saw Mr. Ximen leaving, she smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "Duke Chu, this is such a rude. This person was not invited, but he came to the door on his own initiative, so it was not easy to rush him to leave."
Chu Huan had already sat down at this time and said with a smile: "Since Mr. Ximen can sit right next to him, he must be an ordinary person, so why does he have this temper?"
"Duke Chu, this person is an extremely arrogant madman." A person next to him said, "His name is Ximen Yi, but everyone calls him Ximen madman. Alas, the Ximen family was the first prominent clan in Tongzhou at the time. Unexpectedly, such an unworthy child would have been born, ruining the family. Look, the Ximen family is now poor and deserted, and they are all evil committed by this man!"
One person immediately said, "You can't say that. Ximen Yi did insult his ancestors, but we have one thing to say, one thing to say, two thing to say, although he is arrogant and arrogant, he is not considered a bad person. Not all his family wealth is defeated by the flowers and wine. Everyone knows this in their hearts, and they can't say that."
When Chu Huan heard this, he was curious and asked with a smile: "It seems that Mr. Ximen is quite legendary." He asked Huang Lan: "Master Huang, what's going on?"
Huang Lan hesitated for a moment and finally said softly: "Director Chu didn't know anything. He counted the first six generations of Ximen Yi, and began to settle down in Tongzhou. At that time, his ancestors were officials in the previous dynasty and came to Tongzhou. After that, they had roots and leaves in Tongzhou. To the generation of Ximen Yi's father, they were officials in the previous dynasty. In the past, the Ximen family was a truly famous family in Tongzhou and was deeply loved by the people. Several generations were all honest officials. When his father Ximen Shu was in the past, the previous dynasty was destroyed and Tongzhou fell into war!" After a pause, he saw Chu Huan listening very seriously, and continued: "Ximen Shu was sheltering refugees and asking for money to help the people. We all appreciate his character and obeyed his arrangements."
"Oh?" Chu Huan nodded slightly and said, "In this way, the Ximen family is a good family that accumulates virtue and does good deeds."
"It's true." Huang Lan sighed: "I know that when we mention the ancestors of the Ximen family today, we are all in awe. However, Ximen Yi really does not have the virtues of his ancestors." He shook his head and smiled bitterly: "When Ximen Yi was young, he was smart and clever. Not only did he remember everything, he read poetry and books, but he often spoke amazingly. At that time, many people thought that Ximen Yi would definitely achieve great things."
"This is true." Someone said next to him: "Ximen Yi was called a child prodigy when he was young, and some even thought that he could be a general and a minister in the future. Now it seems that it is just a joke. The child prodigy back then is just a lunatic now!"
Huang Lan nodded and said, "When Ximen Yi was young, he left Tongzhou and traveled around. When Qin was established, he was already in his early twenties and should have taken the exam to find a way out, but this person is better. Every time he takes the exam, he suddenly disappeared. He has not taken the exam for several years and has no fame."
Chu Huan said in confusion: "Scholars regard scientific examinations as a major event in life, how could he do this?"
"So he is a lunatic." Huang Lan sighed: "Not only does not do scientific research, he likes to linger in the place of fireworks. When he was young, he was in a brothel, and he was a scholar, but he did not associate with scholars. Occasionally, he liked to speak wildly and ridicule others. Later, no one wanted to associate with him, and he became a lonely man."
Chu Huan nodded slightly, and Huang Lan continued, "But if this person has a bad character, it would not be the case. After he inherited the Ximen family, he held the huge industry of the Ximen family and was indulging in his voice, no one could persuade him. However, every time a severe drought in Tongzhou, he generously donated money and made great efforts. To the present, he only had two brick and tile houses and a few acres of thin fields left to survive!"
Chu Huan said in surprise: "Can he donate all his family wealth?"
Everyone looked at each other and Huang Lan said, "Except for some of them, most of them were really donated. He is in his early forties, but he is a bachelor, and even a wife has not been married to him. There are three unfilial things, and he is the greatest thing to have no descendants. Ximen Yi will not marry and have children. The Ximen family really wants to ruin it."
Chu Huan laughed and said, "This is a strange man."
Everyone looked at each other, and Huang Lan smiled and said, "Duke Chu, let's not mention him. Yes, you mentioned Juntian before, but I don't know Duke Chu!"
Chu Huan waved his hand and smiled, "Forget it, I drink a few more drinks today, and my head is a little dizzy. I won't mention this matter today, and I will talk about it again." After glanced at everyone, I said, "It's too late, and I still have to deal with trivial matters. Today, thanks to you, I will drink and talk to you all. I am really happy. I hope you can help me and help me in the future."
Everyone said yes, but Chu Huan had already stood up and said, "That's right, I will say goodbye first. You continue, don't worry about me!"
The gentry was suddenly disappointed. They invited Chu Huan to come today. First, they naturally had a good relationship, but second, they wanted to find out some of the next political policies of Tongzhou from Chu Huan. Chu Huan had just spoken and seemed to have already mentioned Jun Tian Ling straight to the point, but suddenly stopped because Ximen Yi was crazy. Now Chu Huan is leaving, but everyone didn't have to say much, and they dared not stop him.
Huang Lan and others sent Chu Huan to the front of the door. A group of soldiers outside the door were waiting. Chu Huan exchanged greetings. Someone had already led the Leihuo Qilin over. Chu Huan turned over and said goodbye to everyone under the protection of the guards and went to the prefectural palace.
Walking out of the long street and turning to the other street, you can hear singing from the street. The singing style is not very good, but the lyrics are unique.
"He looked east of the Changhe River, and the sea was scattered on the east side of the Changhe River. The white waves floated thousands of miles away, and the wind was flowing thousands of miles away. The rippling jade cups made waves, but the matter in the heart was hard to calm down. Jiang Shang hooked straight to the Wei River bank until the flying bear entered the dream!"
Chu Huan looked over and saw a man lying on the side of the wall on the street, holding a wine pot in his hand, singing and drinking. He only looked at the man's clothes and dressing. Chu Huan recognized at a glance that this person was Ximen Yi who had left before.
"Jiang Shang hooked straight to the Wei River bank until the flying bear fell into a dream!" Chu Huan sang loudly before laughing: "But I don't know who Jiang Shang is, and where is King Wen?"
Ximen Yi was still lying on the ground, not looking at Chu Huan, but said, "Without King Wen, there would be no Jiang Shang. With King Wen, he would ask him to find Jiang Shang by himself!"
Chu Huan laughed and said, "Sir, the wine in the pot seems to have been drunk, why do you still have to carry the pot?"
"There is no bait on Jiang Shang hook, why do you still have to fish?"
Chu Huan turned over and got off the horse, walked forward, and said, "Jiang Shang has no bait hook, just to catch the emperor. Mr. Wu is empty pot, but I don't understand the meaning."
Ximen Yi turned over and lay down on his back to Chu Huan, not speaking.
"I still have a few jars of good wine." Chu Huan laughed and said, "If you want, I wonder if you can go and drink together? Although the singing is good, if you don't know the reason, you can't be called a good song. If you don't know how to taste the good wine, you can't be called a good wine."
