Chapter 62: The Ability of Daughter-in-law
When the ancients toast, they paid attention to the first to be respectful. This is completely contrary to the wine culture of modern people in later generations.
The so-called toasts at the wine table in later generations is toast someone. If I toast you a glass, you have to drink one. If I toast you a hundred glasses, you have to drink one hundred glasses. I want to toast you to death, but if you don’t want to die, that is, if you don’t want to eat the toast, you will be punished for wine.
But the ancients were different. The ancients were toasting first. I toast you, I drink it first. If you give me face, then you only need to toast me a glass, and you drink it first.
If you think your identity is lower than me, and I respect you one foot and you want to respect me one foot, then you have to respect at least three cups after I respect you.
So when Li Zhiyun came to Wang Bo's table, he had already had as many as nine glasses of wine before he could speak. This included five glasses of wine he toasted to the five guests at the table, including Li Jing's three toasts, and Wang Bo's one toast to him.
What's going on? Li Zhiyun's heart was tight.
He had already considered the number of glasses he needed to toast tonight, like Yang Lin, Yin Fengji's brother, and there were six tables like Li Jing's table now, that is, he had to drink at least thirty glasses of wine on these six tables.
He only needs to bring one cup of the remaining tables, without toasting everyone, but there are more than a hundred tables left, which is another hundred glasses of wine.
This is not the only banquets placed in the courtyard outside the martial arts venue. Those banquets are guests who wait and see, as the groom, does not need to show up.
But the atmosphere at this table is very wrong now, and it is estimated that even if you drink these nine cups, it will not be the end.
Li Jing had the intention of fighting with him for drinking. He could see that Li Jing lost face in the afternoon and wanted to find it back on the drink, but who was the first person to speak? Is Li Jing's old man? Come and help you fight for drinking?
This made him feel a little embarrassed. Although he had just drank more than a dozen glasses of wine at the two tables of Yang Lin and Yin Fengji, the wine glasses used were not big, with only one or two wines in volume, and he felt that the green ant rice wine of this era was relatively low, which seemed to be different from the beer rice wine in later generations, but how should we drink this total of 130 cups?
That is thirteen pounds. Even if it is thirteen pounds of beer, can you drink it with your current small body? Or, can you avoid getting drunk after drinking it?
If you were fighting with Li Jing and the others on this table now, you would definitely not be able to fight!
Not to mention the hardest thing, the most terrible thing is that once you drink a live broadcast on this table, it is certain to make a fool of yourself in public, and the guests on the table behind can't toast, that's a big rude!
Looking at the other guests here, they could feel Li Zhiyun's embarrassment. They knew that such toast was unbearable, but they did not think that the guests at the third table had any malicious intentions. Isn't it normal for guests to compete with the groom to have a drink?
At most, he would just make jokes about the groom, let him sleep in the middle of the night. Moreover, for this little groom, sleep in the middle of the night will not delay anything. Anyway, he can't do anything serious at night, so what can I do if I sleep in the middle of the night?
So people are focusing on this, wanting to see how Li Zhiyun shows her fear of admitting her mistake and apologizing.
In this era, as long as you don’t have any deep hatred with the toast, refusing to accept other people’s toast is a very failure. You must admit your mistakes and apologize for this, explain the reasons, such as being weak and sick, such as being unable to drink, etc., otherwise it is equivalent to telling others that you are not a man.
Sure enough, Li Zhiyun's face showed a embarrassed look and he wanted to speak but stopped. However, Wang Bo and Li Jing didn't care about so much and insisted on making Li Zhiyun look ugly. So without saying a word, they both picked up the wine glass and drank it all. They didn't even wait for Li Shimin, who was accompanying the wine, to introduce their identities and names to him.
What Wang Bo said was "a cup of each other", but in fact, each person drinks two cups. If you toast me, I will give you back, I will give you back, you must give back;
What Li Jing said here is "respect you three cups", which means he took the initiative to feast three cups in a row, and if Li Zhiyun doesn't want to be rude, he must give back three cups.
Now Wang Bo and Li Jing each drank a glass of wine, and then lit the bottom of the glass for Li Zhiyun, meaning that it was your turn.
"My husband, don't worry, I will drink this glass of wine for you." Hongfu took care of Li Zhiyun the most.
Although she knew that she married Li Zhiyun because of Yang Su and Yang Guang's arrangement, and had ulterior motives and other intentions, she still felt very happy. Isn't it her wish to be able to marry her benefactor and stay by his side to take care of him day and night?
What's more, there was the kiss at Mingyue Inn? That kiss had already determined that she would never marry someone else in her life.
"Just!" Wang Bo laughed a few times, only buzzing the guests' ears in the audience. "Is a person who even needs a woman to replace him to drink, and is he worthy of being a husband? Please forgive me, I'll say bluntly, you are helping you. If you really drink for your man, your man will be ridiculed by heroes all over the world."
After hearing Wang Bo's laughter and speech, Yu Shang, who had been standing behind Hongfu, couldn't help but look at her face, thinking to herself, why was he here?
The first sentence of this person when he stood up made her feel familiar. She didn't think much about it because she was unfamiliar. But after hearing the laughter, she carefully paid attention to the tone and voice of the person's speech, and she could definitely determine that this person must be his senior brother Wang Bo.
Of course, at this moment, even if you hear that the other party is Wang Bo, you cannot recognize each other because she is already Li Zhiyun's wife. However, Wang Bo did not come as a senior brother of his parents. Recognizing each other is a slight trait and causes endless trouble.
In fact, even if Wang Bo knew in advance that she had married Li Zhiyun, he could not congratulate him as his senior brother, because her family background was a highly confidentiality for everyone in the Sui Dynasty and would never be made public.
Come on, come on, why are you messing around? After recognizing Wang Bo, Yu Shang couldn't help but feel angry and immediately said, "Husband, you can drink it. I want to see who can get you drunk here!"
While she was talking, her pair of tender gushes had gently pinched Li Zhiyun's shoulder and said, "I have learned the technique of pushing blood through the palace with one hand. It is the most suitable for quenching alcohol. I will ensure that you can drink ten or eight pounds and not get drunk!"
Yang Guang, who was on the table in Yang Lin nearby, heard this and turned to Yang Suwen and said, "There is such a magical massage technique in the world. Did you teach me?"
Yang Su couldn't help but wonder, thinking that this girl had learned new techniques from Wuxianggong since she was a child? But she said, "Of course I taught her."
Yang Guang couldn't help but feel a little regretful when he heard this. If he had known that Green Fan had such a skill, he would not agree with Yang Su marrying her to Li Zhiyun. Even if he took her back to his palace in Jin, he would be a maid in the house.
Yang Guang often visits civil and military officials in Suli. If he wants to make friends, the best way is to drink together. Therefore, he goes home drunk every day. When he is drunk, Xiao Meiniang doesn't say anything, and her disgust in her heart is always unconcealed, and he is also very upset about this.
If there is a maid like Green Fan who can help her hang up, what else can I be afraid of?
It is not incredible to use internal strength to relieve alcohol, and it has nothing to do with the depth or shallowness of internal strength. Li Zhiyun knows a lot about this, such as Duan Zhengyan of the Northern Song Dynasty and Qiu Chuji of the Southern Song Dynasty, who are all masters who can use internal strength to relieve alcohol.
However, it is more novel to use internal skills and use the method of pushing blood to pass through the uterus to relieve others. I didn’t expect that this female thief would do this. It seems that marrying her is really in vain!
Thinking of this, I felt a sense of pride and said, "Come on, I, Li Zhiyun, will sacrifice my life to accompany the gentleman tonight, and I will only stop drunk with you!"
After that, Yin Fengji, who was holding the wine jar beside her, poured the wine into the tray glass held by Hongfu, then stretched out her hands, picked up two glasses of wine to deliver to her mouth, and raised her neck to dry the two taels of green ant wine.
