Halfway through the reunion dinner, Qin Qiong, Yuchi Jingde, Cheng Yaojin, and Niu Jinda arrived together. Li Zexuan hurriedly ordered people to add four sets of bowls and chopsticks and warmly invited these big shots to sit.
"Hehe! Xiao Xuan, we've already eaten before we came! Don't trouble yourself! "
Qin Qiong smiled and waved his hand.
Their families belonged to the new aristocratic groups after the establishment of Tang Dynasty. During the new year, they had many social engagements in Chang 'an. That was why they could only come now.
"It's alright! Uncle Qin, even though you've already eaten, it's fine if you eat a few more dishes! "
Li Zexuan laughed.
"Haha! Xiao Xuan is right. Even though we've eaten in Chang 'an, we still have to drink a few bowls of wine here! "
Cheng Yaojin laughed shamelessly and sat down beside the bearded man. Then, the old man said, "Hey! I heard that you've taken a fancy to my Chou Niu? That's right! You have good taste! It's not that I'm bragging, but my Chou Niu's martial arts talent is second only to Xiao Xuan!
It's mainly because I'm usually busy with military affairs and don't have time to train that kid. Since you want to be his master, I'll reluctantly agree! Next year, you have to fulfill your responsibility as a master and teach him martial arts! I, Old Cheng, will drink with you tonight! Haha! "
Everyone covered their faces when they heard this. There was no other reason. This old man was too f * cking, oh, too f * cking shameless!
What did he mean by his martial arts talent was second only to Li Zexuan?
Even people like Yan Lide who didn't know martial arts knew that Cheng Chumo's martial arts talent was far from Li Zexuan's!
But this old demon spoke against his conscience and praised Cheng Chumo to the heavens!
If Cheng Chumo was here, he would probably blush if he heard this!
"Uh … Dad! Do you have another son named Chou Niu? "
Speaking of the devil, Cheng Chumo also quietly came up the stairs. Perhaps he happened to hear the last few words of Cheng Chumo. He suddenly froze in place, looked suspiciously at Cheng Chumo and asked.
"…!!"
"Scram!!"
Cheng Yaojin's old face turned green and white. In the end, he roared at Cheng Chumo.
"Oh! Father, don't be angry! "
Cheng Chumo quivered and immediately fled!
He had only gone upstairs to ask Li Zexuan if he could give them a batch of fireworks to play with. Now that things had turned out this way, who had he offended?
"Ahem! Unfilial son! What an unfilial son! Old Zhang, you've seen it for yourself. Chou Ox has no confidence in himself. He doesn't know his own potential. You have to guide him well when you return! "
Cheng Yaojin first coughed dryly, then continued to speak to the bearded man without blushing or skipping a beat.
"Haha! Alright, alright! Lu Guogong, don't try to persuade me anymore! Since I've promised to train Chou Ox for half a year, I'll definitely do it when the time comes! "
The bearded man laughed heartily.
He originally didn't have any good or bad feelings towards Cheng Yaojin. However, when he heard that Old Cheng was going to drink with him, his interest was immediately piqued. As for the rest, he didn't care!
"Half a year? Old Zhang, why can't you train him for another two years? "
Cheng Yaojin was slightly dissatisfied.
The bearded man replied, "I have an agreement with the Yamachō. I'll only stay in the academy for a year! Next year, I'll be going out to sea. Chou Ox naturally can't follow me! "
His days in the academy were nothing more than teaching students, drinking fine wine under the setting sun, and bragging. It was indeed very comfortable, and it was comfortable to the point his fighting spirit was almost completely exhausted! However, the sea was where he should be. He liked the feeling of being able to roam the four seas! He wouldn't and wouldn't give up!
"Going out to sea? Oh! Alright then! Come, come, come! Let's not talk about this first! Drink! Drink! "
Cheng Yaojin was stunned. Only then did he remember the bearded man's other identity — the pirate leader. He could only say helplessly.
Suddenly, with this old bastard shouting and joking around, the atmosphere at the table became even more lively. Toasts were exchanged, cups were exchanged, laughter was exchanged, and drinking games were played. The scene was so lively that it was a little out of control.
In the end, Li Zexuan had no choice but to let his mother leave with Han Yuxi, Lan 'er, and the other women from the other families. Following that, this group of men bragged and talked nonsense here, becoming even more unscrupulous.
…
Chang 'an City. There were millions of people living here. It was even more lively on New Year's Eve.
Under normal circumstances, families would sit together peacefully and not sleep for the whole night. This was the custom of "staying up for the New Year" that had been passed down from the modern era. The people of the Tang Dynasty especially liked liveliness. When families gathered together, if there were old people in the family, there might be a house full of people staying up for the New Year together. With children and grandchildren, wouldn't it be joyous?
On the streets, although it was already dark, the streets were not dark at all. Basically, every house had two big lanterns hanging outside their doors. Every square also had lanterns placed at the entrance. Looking down from the sky, Chang 'an City was like a city that never slept. Tens of thousands of lights were embellished in the city, as beautiful and moving as the stars in the sky!
There was no curfew tonight. Many naughty children were chasing and playing in various squares. There were also some who set off firecrackers. However, these firecrackers were not made of gunpowder. They were purely made of bamboo sticks. Once this thing was thrown into the fire, it would make a muffled "bang" sound after a while. If passersby happened to pass by, they would often be scared out of their wits!
In addition to the naughty children, many lovestruck men and women, couples and couples would also come out for a stroll. After all, in a year, the number of times that there was no curfew in Chang 'an City could be counted with one hand. If they didn't come out to "have some fun", they would feel sorry for themselves!
"Xiao Qin, see if Baoshun has prepared the carriage?"
South of Chang 'an City, An Le Square, Lin Family's backyard.
Lin Hao had just finished his dinner and went straight back to his courtyard. This fellow rubbed his stomach as he asked the maid beside him.
"Young Master, Baoshun said not to touch the things at home. I've already prepared them. However, I'm asking too much. Young Master, are you really going to leave the city alone?"
The maidservant named Xiao Qin first responded, then asked timidly.
Lin Hao raised his head and said matter-of-factly, "Of course! If I bring my parents along, they will definitely nag in my ears again! Hurry up, hurry up! Let's sneak out from the back door. Young Master, let me tell you, the fireworks at Yanhuang College are really beautiful! When the time comes, I guarantee that you won't be willing to come back after seeing it! "
This fat otaku actually wanted to go out to Yanhuang College to see the fireworks?
The sun really rose from the west. Since he was born, only God knew if he had taken the initiative to leave Chang 'an City more than five times. Today, he actually took the initiative to leave the city. How rare!
As for where he got the news that Yanhuang College was going to set off fireworks at midnight, it was self-evident!
