Chapter 003: Drunken Dreams and Death (Three)
Mr. Qian sighed: "Indeed, both General Yue and General Qi are renowned figures of their time. General Yue recited, 'With lofty ambitions, I feast on the flesh of the barbarian; in jest, I drink the blood of the Xiongnu,' yet ultimately met an unclear demise at Yujin Pavilion; whereas our General Qi stated, 'Wealth and honor are but trifles; since ancient times, heroes have always been dreamers,' and was able to conclude his life peacefully.
Mr. Qian, seeing her confusion, hurriedly informed her: "This is Madam Eleven, who values good wine above all else, yet possesses neither virtue nor talent, and is even lacking in appearance... Apart from brewing a few barrels of wine, she knows nothing else, a true wine sack and rice bag!"
After the manager of Jing leaves, I will go to see the wine in the cellar on the 11th
And Eleven, along with her tabby cat, had long since walked far away
In the winter, the green mountains are elegant and tranquil, while in spring, the mountains warm and the flowers bloom profusely. Youth ages alongside the flowers. In this world, there are those who seek fame and fortune, both the wealthy and the poor. Glory and wealth are not the elixir of life, and leisure is not the door to death. I advise you to recognize the true protagonist. The formula is but a single ingredient, all contained in silence.
She could not help but rub her eyes, doubting whether she had seen it incorrectly
The Autumn Wild Goose Pavilion, with the passing of Lady Jiu's wild goose poem, indeed presents the appearance of geese departing and autumn fading away
Jing Guan Shi left with a jar of wine amidst the rustling autumn leaves, secretly relieved to have arrived in time. If he had delayed any longer, he would have truly had to return with a jar of vinegar.
The tabby cat lazily followed along, even too lazy to meow. It did not enjoy drinking, looking disdainfully at its owner's cherished expression.
What can a muddled woman living in a drunken haze and a tabby cat obsessed with stealing fish understand
"When the golden wind and the jade dew meet, it surpasses countless encounters in the mortal world." On the eleventh, regardless of love or not, one leisurely remarks, "The so-called golden wind and jade dew wine is merely brewed with a bit of autumn hibiscus, golden chrysanthemum, and other flowers, just borrowing some floral fragrance, what is so good about it? The so-called refined individuals are merely bored people. The words of the wild geese are tedious, and Han Tianyao is also tedious.
Why does that young master ... ...
Perhaps it is simply because she is the little aunt who grew up alongside Lady Jiu? ... Lady Jiu, beneath the nine springs, would surely be pleased to drink the wine of the eleventh drink, to validate her husband's unwavering affection
Our young master is indeed a sentimental soul! Lady Jiu passed away early, leaving behind this distant little aunt. Before her death, she repeatedly urged our young master to take care of her. After Lady Jiu's passing, those in the household with an eye for status saw her, this little aunt, indulging in a life of drunkenness and dreams, and they indeed went to belittle her. However, our young master, being nostalgic, after seeing her twice, declared her to be the eleventh concubine, which was merely a title to let everyone in the household know that she was not to be bullied, though in reality, she could not be compared to the other wives. Did you see that cat just now? It was also raised by Lady Jiu...
He does not believe that the wine from the eleventh batch is so delicious that it warrants such attention from the young master, repeatedly instructing her to brew it...
Xiao Long'er stood there watching them leave, suddenly noticing that Shi Yi's gaze towards the Taihu stone was particularly clear and bright, dazzling like a star, which was in stark contrast to his shabby and ordinary attire and appearance
As he reached this point, he unconsciously stroked his beard in contemplation, then laughed at himself for being overly concerned
Little Long'er clapped her hands and laughed, saying: "I have learned this phrase! It was written by our old Qi Wang! 'When spring comes, the mountains warm and the flowers bloom,' is precisely the origin of the name of this garden with abundant flowers!"
Xiao Long'er listened to her grandfather all the way and had just arrived at the Taihu stone where the tabby cat and Eleven had previously paused to look. It was only then that she discovered a poem inscribed in cinnabar on the Taihu stone.
