Traveling Through the Swordsman: The Evil-Exorcist Swordsman Lin Pingzhi

Chapter 223 On the Cup
The old scholar introduced himself: "This old man dare not take the word "Mr.". This old man is just a high-ranking student, so how dare he call himself Mr. My surname is Zu, and the two characters are Qianqiu."

Yue Lingshan asked at this time: "Is there such a surname as Zu in this world?"

Zu Qianqiu turned around and looked at Yue Lingshan, just about to explain.

Lin Pingzhi then said: "Of course there is. In the past, during the Jin Dynasty, Five Hu and Sixteen Kingdoms, Zu Ti, a general of the Southern Dynasty who heard chickens dancing. There is also Zu Chongzhi, the author of Nine Chapters on Arithmetic, who must be the distant ancestor of this gentleman."

Zu Qianqiu looked at Lin Pingzhi and said: "This little brother is really knowledgeable. I haven't asked for his name yet."

Lin Pingzhi stood up and introduced himself: "Lin Pingzhi of the Hengshan School has met Mr. Zu."

Hearing the name Lin Pingzhi, Zu Qianqiu was stunned. He quickly stood up and said, "It turned out to be the Evil Resisting Sword, Master Lin, the head of Mount Heng. I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

Lin Pingzhi said humbly: "Mr. praised it."

After the ceremony, the two sat down respectively. Zu Qianqiu continued to say to Linghu Chong: "Drinking wine requires good utensils. If there is good wine but no good wine utensils, it will be like the dragon's eyes that have never been touched. A fly in the ointment. Young Master Linghu seems to be able to drink alcohol, but he doesn't know the 'three tastes' in it." Zu Qianqiu stretched out three fingers while speaking.

At this time, he patted the Fenjiu altar on the table with his hands, and then said: "Let's take the Fenjiu we drink as an example. There is a saying in an ancient poem that 'the amber light comes from the jade bowl' to drink this Fenjiu with a jade cup and a jade bowl. Only in this way can it increase its alcoholism."

At this time, Zu Qianqiu mentioned the bottle of wine, and he continued: "As for drinking this wine, it should be better to use a luminous cup. There is a poem that says, "Grape wine is luminous cup, if you want to drink a pipa, immediately urge" this wine is dry in color. Red, poured into a luminous cup, it looks like fresh blood. As the saying goes, "Aspirations eat Hulu meat when hungry, and jokes thirsty to drink Xiongnu blood", isn't this man strong when he drinks it?"

Linghu Chong praised him again and again.

But Zu Qianqiu was still eloquently introducing, successively introducing rhino horn cups, ancient rattan cups, bronze statues, jade cups, glass cups, official kilns of the Song Dynasty and so on.

This discussion at the wine table really benefited Linghu Chong a lot, and the depression brought about by Yue Lingshan just now was wiped away immediately.I only heard repeated yes.

Seeing his appearance, Lin Pingzhi smiled lightly and shook his head unceasingly.

This Yue Lingshan and Linghu Chong are real brothers and sisters.

This junior sister admired senior brother before, but after seeing Lin Ping, she left Linghu Chong behind.

And this Linghu Chong is the same, just now he was still depressed because his junior sister ignored his own affairs, but now he is talking about wine with Zu Qianqiu, his expression is dancing, he doesn't look like Cai Cai at all.

Now Lin Pingzhi feels that the person Linghu Chong really loves is not Junior Sister, nor Ren Yingying, but his wine jar.

Yue Lingshan was still angry about the incident that Zu Qianqiu had cut her dress.

Now she heard what Zu Qianqiu said was sound, but she couldn't help mocking: "I have said so much, it's nothing more than talking on paper. There are so many ways to drink, just drink it in one gulp. What's more, there are so many strange cups. Seven or eight kinds, how can we get them together?"

But Zu Qianqiu was not angry after hearing this.

While shaking the fan, he waved his hand with a smile and said: "No, no. Those literati who pay attention to the taste of drinking will definitely have all these wine utensils."

After hearing what he said, Lin Pingzhi felt it was funny.

Fortunately, Zu Qianqiu met ordinary people like him and Linghu Chong.If he arrives in the capital city, then the master in the capital city will immediately educate him and let him know what it means to be truly 'sophisticated' and 'authentic'.

Yue Lingshan looked Zu Qianqiu up and down at this time, and then said: "Mr. Zu, let's finish this. Mr. Zu knows so many drinking rules, and he seems to be a member of the literati. I don't know how many of these wine glasses Mr. Zu has. indivual?"

From the appearance, Zu Qianqiu is just an old scholar dressed in coarse linen, looking very poor.Compared with Kong Yiji, he was only a little cleaner.

Yue Lingshan naturally did not believe that such a poor scholar would have these treasures.

Hearing Yue Lingshan's provocation, Zu Qianqiu waved his hands and said with a smile: "To tell you the truth, I am a literati and refined scholar. I don't dare call myself that. But what?" Zu Qianqiu stretched out three fingers at this time, and then pursed his lips and smiled He said: "But the old man is so elegant."

Yue Lingshan snorted lightly, and then said, "I don't know how many cups there are on Mr. Zu's body."

At this time, Zu Qianqiu chuckled and walked back to his desk. He picked up a small box that looked like a medicine box from the desk.

Afterwards, he opened the box, showed it to everyone and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, but I happen to have one of everything."

Hearing Zu Qianqiu's words, Linghu Chong's eyes widened.

As he said that, Zu Qianqiu took out the wine glasses from the small box one by one, put them on the table one by one, and introduced them to each other.

Seeing this scene, Yue Lingshan also kept her mouth shut. She never thought that such a poor scholar could produce so many treasures.

Although Lin Pingzhi doesn't know how to identify antiques, his family runs an escort agency.Moreover, for generally expensive darts, the owner will pay more silver taels to buy a "guaranteed price".

If the goods are lost or damaged, Fuwei Escort will compensate according to the price.

Over time, he also gained some vision.

If Zu Qianqiu's cups are genuine, each one is worth at least a thousand taels.Those glass, jadeite, jade cups and the like may be cheaper, but the bronze wine vase, the official kiln of the Song Dynasty, rhino horns, and ancient vines are all priceless items.

He has tens of thousands of taels of silver in this small box.

If this ancestor Qianqiu is only seeking fame and fame, these treasures can at least make him fill the vacancy of a county magistrate, and also make him prosper in official career, and his career will go straight to the top.

Qu Feiyan said with a smile at this time: "Mr. Zu is dressed so badly, don't drink and drink poorly."

Hearing Qu Feiyan's words, Zu Qianqiu said with a smile: "Hahaha, the little girl is wrong. In life, one should behave in a chic way and try to be at ease. I don't care about fame, wealth, status, basic necessities, food, housing, transportation and other mundane things in my life. I don’t have any other hobbies, but love wine. I imitate Li Taibai this life, use wine to sword, write poetry and practice sword. Travel all over the country, drink all the world’s fine wines. This life is really worthwhile.”

After Lin Pingzhi finished listening, he gave a thumbs up and said in admiration: "Mr. Zu is really chic all his life."

Zu Qianqiu said with a smile: "Master Lin is too famous, I am ashamed."

To be honest, Lin Pingzhi was quite envious of Zu Qianqiu.

The life he longs for is not to worry about family affairs and sect affairs all day long, and tie himself to a fixed "post".

The happiest time in his life so far is the days when he followed Fu Ying to travel the southeast coast and practice medicine.

Happy grievances, accompanied by beautiful women, punishing rape and eliminating evil all the way, helping the poor and the poor, is the real "Swordsman".

But reality gave him a big slap in the face.

He may not be destined to live that kind of chic and happy life in his life.

I can only live in the current "post" life of "the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility".

Be who he is in the eyes of others, be who he is in the eyes of others.

Rather than really being the chic and happy self.
