This scene undoubtedly caught Cao Liang's eye. He looked at the guest, who was about thirty years old. He was dressed like a scholar, but he didn't look like a scholar and behaved like a rogue in the market.

It was undoubtedly rude to actually ask a woman to propose a toast. Cao Liang thought that the shopkeeper would refuse, but he didn't expect that instead of being angry, the shopkeeper actually called his wife to come out and pour the wine with a smile on his face.

This made Cao Liang a little curious. Who is this person, so wantonly?

Soon the proprietress of the hotel came to me. Judging from her appearance, she seemed to have some color. Although she was middle-aged, she still had charm.

However, no matter how beautiful she is, in Cao Liang's eyes, she is still vulgar and pink. Although she has some beauty, what the women in the market lack is that kind of graceful and luxurious temperament.

The landlady quickly came to the gentleman, smiled and said: "Hey, Mr. Ruan, why are you free to come to our store today?"

Although the scholar behaved erratically, his eyes were clear and not evil at all. He smiled calmly and said, "I came here because I wanted to drink. Your wine is the best among the ten miles away."

The landlady laughed, with two deep dimples on her face, and her smile was very charming. She poured him a glass of wine herself and said, "Then Mr. Ruan must drink a few more glasses."

Mr. Ruan? A thought immediately popped into Cao Liang's mind. Could this be the Ruan Infantryman from Ruan Ji, one of the "Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest"?

The "Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove" are seven celebrities who appeared in the late Wei and early Jin Dynasties. They are Ji Kang, Ruan Ji, Shan Tao, Xiang Xiu, Liu Ling, Wang Rong and Ruan Xian. They are called the Seven Sages because they were often in Shanyang at that time.

Under the bamboo forest in the county, people drank, sang, and had fun. They were known to the world as the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest.

Although these seven people were not the pillars of the country, their unique lifestyles influenced more than one generation. Even Cao Xueqin, the author of "A Dream of Red Mansions", highly praised Ruan Ji.

Ruan Ji had a bumpy official career in his life, and the highest he could do was become an infantry captain, so the world called him Ruan Infantry. In the Han Dynasty, the infantry captain was a military position and one of the five schools of the Northern Army. By the time of the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the new

The Chinese Army's five battalions of military guards, heroic cavalry, backbone, middle base, guerrilla, and infantry captains have gradually been reduced to official titles with duties but no power, and are often filled by civilian officials.

Ruan Ji can be said to be a model of performance art. He likes to drink, and will get drunk every time he drinks. Every time he is drunk, he will do incredible things. He often drives out alone in a car, regardless of the road, and lets his cars and horses run wildly.

, ran until there was no way to go, then waved his sleeves and raised his head, facing the wilderness of heaven and earth, tearing out his throat and crying loudly, crying so hard that the mountains shook and the earth shook, and he cried so much.

Once, a girl from a neighbor's family passed away. Ruan Ji, who had no contact with that family, actually went to the mourning hall and cried at the top of his lungs. He was so heartbroken that the sky was dark and the earth was dark, and all the guests in the hall were shocked.

Ruan Ji had cried enough, got up, patted the dirt on his body, and left as if nothing had happened.

Ruan Ji has countless reputations for being crazy. His ideals and reality almost make him almost despair in pain. He is resentful and hesitant. He is well aware of the dangers of officialdom and the success of villains. He is not willing to sink, and does not conform to the trend. On the surface,

What a pity for his reputation, his true temperament, his true courage, and his unrestrained behavior are actually connected with the spirit of heaven and earth.

He has a noble heart and a proud nature, but he encounters a turbulent era, and he doesn't despise interacting with those so-called gentlemen. He can only pretend to be crazy, drink to relieve his sorrows, and live out his true self.

In fact, Cao Liang admired Ruan Ji very much. He was not constrained by the world, not bound by etiquette, and he was free and unconstrained, doing his own thing and living a free and easy life.

Unexpectedly, I would meet Ruan Ji accidentally today.

In order to confirm that there was no mistake, Cao Liang stopped the store owner when he passed by and asked: "Who is that? The shopkeeper seems to be very accommodating to him?"

The shop owner smiled disapprovingly and said: "This Mr. Ruan is our neighbor. He lives in the thatched house in front. He is open-minded and informal. He likes drinking. In fact, he is quite good."

"Is this Mr. Ruan's name Ruan Ji?"

The shop owner raised his eyebrows and said, "That's right. Does the guest know him too?"

Cao Liang shook his head and said, "I only heard his name, but never saw him."

Although their voices were not high, Ruan Ji over there seemed to hear someone talking about him behind his back. He immediately looked over and rolled his eyes at Cao Liang.

Ruan Ji often looks at people with green eyes, showing green eyes to those he likes and white eyes to those he doesn't like.

Ruan Ji's eye-rolling is a unique skill. When others roll their eyes, they will mostly see black eyeballs pointing upward, half black and half white. But when Ruan Ji rolls his eyes, there is absolutely no black eyeball visible in the eye sockets, and there are also cloths on the gray eyes.

It was bloodshot and pale and ugly.

Cao Liang chuckled, Ruan Ji's eye roll was indeed extraordinary, no wonder he could leave his name in history.

Cao Liang stood up, walked forward, bowed to Ruan Ji and said, "I've heard about Brother Ruan for a long time, and I'm lucky to meet you today."

Ruan Ji did not roll his eyes because Cao Liang said a kind word, but said coldly: "Who are you?"

Cao Liang didn't care at all. Ruan Ji was a mad man, so he couldn't be judged by common sense. He smiled slightly and said, "I am Cao Liang, and I am joining the army to conquer the south."

When Ruan Ji heard this, he immediately rolled his black eyes, looked Cao Liang up and down, and said, "You are the Cao Liang of the Marquis of Gaoling Mansion, how dare you anger the Cao Liang of Sima Shi?"

"I'm not talented, I'm the one below."

Ruan Ji's eyes shone, his brows were filled with joy, and he said repeatedly: "I have admired Brother Cao's name for a long time, I am disrespectful and disrespectful."

This attitude, first arrogant and then respectful, was unexpected by Cao Liang. Ruan Ji immediately moved inside, made room for a seat, and said to Cao Liang: "Brother Cao, please sit down. It's rare to see you today. How about a drink for me?"

"

Cao Liang said with a smile: "Being respectful is worse than obeying orders. Thank you very much, Brother Ruan."

Ruan Ji shouted to the proprietress next to him: "Wine lady, go and get some good wine. It's the daughter Hong that you have been collecting for fifteen years. I want Brother Cao and I to stay drunk today."

This time, the proprietress was indifferent. She rolled her eyes at him and said, "Can you afford to drink the fifteen-year daughter's red? That jar is worth ten thousand dollars?"

"So what if it's worth tens of thousands of dollars? As I say, wouldn't it be great to have friends from far away places? Today I got drunk with Brother Cao, so what if the wine is worth ten thousand dollars? Don't worry, I won't lose a penny to you!"

Ruan Ji patted his chest and said.
