The food and wine were served very quickly, and all of them were delicacies, and the wine was even better.

Pei Xiu pointed to the jug on the table and said, "Get a jug of warm wine instead."

Of course, the waiter didn't hesitate and immediately took away the cold wine and replaced it with a pot of warm wine.

Cao Liang is a little strange. It stands to reason that when the weather is cold in winter, drinking some warm wine can nourish the body, warm the meridians and activate the meridians. But now it is spring. Spring is warm, flowers are blooming, and the climate is pleasant. Drinking warm wine at this time will not help.

That's necessary.

"It turns out that Brother Pei likes to drink warmer wine."

Pei Xiuqi said: "Brother Cao, don't you take Wushi Powder? After taking Wushi Powder, you must drink warm wine, so that the medicinal power can be dispersed, the meridians can be stimulated, and all diseases can be eliminated."

Cao Liang suddenly realized that Pei Xiu had been taking Wu Shi Powder, so he couldn't drink cold wine.

Wu Shi San originated in the Han Dynasty and was widely popular among scholars. However, for its real popularity in the world, one person was "indispensable".

This person is Cao Cao's adopted son and son-in-law He Yan.

He Yan was indeed an unusual figure in the Three Kingdoms era. He was the grandson of He Jin, the general during the reign of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty. He Jin was a fool. In order to deal with the powerful Shi Changshi, he lured Dong Zhuo into the house. As a result, Dong Zhuo

Before he arrived, He Jin was killed by Shi Changshi, then the Shi Changshi group was destroyed, Dong Zhuo entered the capital, and the chaos of the Three Kingdoms began.

After He Jin's death, the He family fell into decline. Cao Cao, who had a good wife, fell in love with He Yan's mother Yin and took her as his concubine. So the young He Yan became a prostitute and lived with his mother in the Cao Mansion.

The young He Yan was very smart. Because he did not want to be Cao Cao's stepson, he drew a square box on the ground and sat there without coming out. Others were surprised and asked why. He Yan replied, "This is the He family's house. Someone is there."

He reported this matter to Cao Cao, who was also very surprised, so he sent someone to send him back to He Mansion. However, after growing up, He Yan still willingly surrendered to Cao Cao, whether due to Cao Cao's power or greed for wealth.

, and became Cao Cao's adopted son with peace of mind.

There was Qin Lang in the same situation as him, but He Yan was far more popular with Cao Cao than Qin Lang, so much so that Cao Cao later betrothed his daughter, Princess Jinxiang, to him.

Although Cao Cao liked him, Cao Pi hated him extremely. Every time he saw He Yan passing away in the crown prince's clothes, he would call him a "fake son".

He Yan has a handsome appearance and is known as "Fu Fan He Lang". He likes to dress up and has a delicate and white face. Even women can't compare with him. Cao suspected that he had powdered his face and specially treated him to hot soup noodles on a hot day. He Yan ate it well.

He was sweating profusely, so he had to wipe his face with his sleeves, but his face turned even whiter. Only then did Cao believe that he didn't apply powder.

During the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, with the rise of chatting and changes in aesthetic concepts, the character of the Han nationality changed from masculine to feminine. Many men no longer pursued a dignified and solemn appearance, but instead used embellishments to decorate their appearance.

Faces are put on powder and dressed up to look beautiful. They are no longer proud of showing off their masculinity, but rather pursue the feminine beauty of a woman.

In order to maintain his beautiful face, He Yan took great pains and finally focused on Wushi Powder. In He Yan's view, Wushi Powder has the effect of beautifying and nourishing the skin, which is what he urgently needs. At the same time, Wushi Powder also has the effect of supporting yang.

This made He Yan, who indulged in sensuality, unable to control himself.

So He Yan began to take Wushi Powder for many years, and claimed that Wushi Powder had the effect of curing diseases, strengthening the body, and having a cheerful mind.

He Yan was not only a relative of the emperor, but also a leader of the Qingtan School of Metaphysics. Driven by his personal actions, a trend of taking Wushi San was set off in the circle of scholars in the capital. It is no wonder that Pei Xiu saw Cao Liang and did not know Wushi Powder.

When he scattered something, he had a look of astonishment on his face.

For Cao Liang, Wu Shi San is actually equivalent to a drug. How could a good young man like him from a futuristic society get into such a bad habit?

How did Pei Xiu die? It was because he drank cold wine by mistake after taking Wu Shi Powder. When he died, Pei Xiu was not yet fifty years old.

Wushi Powder is a chronic poison. People who take it for a long time will become addicted. After taking it, the whole body will become hot and produce a hallucinatory reaction similar to that of psychedelic drugs. The whole person will be in a trance and feel as if they are in heaven.

This kind of effect was exactly what the Qingtan School of Metaphysics in the Wei and Jin Dynasties headed by He Yan and others pursued, so Five Stone Powder became so popular.

Whenever you see those scholars on the street wearing light fur coats and elegant clothes, each of them looks like a fairy, it is because they have taken Wu Shi Powder. It is not that they don't like to wear less clothes, which can resist the cold and cold, but

After taking Wushi Powder, you must eat more cold meals, so Wushi Powder is also called Hanshi Powder.

In addition to eating cold meals, you should also pay attention to going out for more walking exercises, which is called walking. You should also pay attention to drinking more hot wine, good wine, several times a day, so that the body has the potential to be drunk, that is, it is in a slightly drunk state.

If you drink cold wine or low-quality wine, you may die. In addition, you should take a cold bath after taking the medicine to dissipate the toxicity and heat of the medicine, and do not wear too many warm clothes.

Wu Shi San has a long history. Not only people in the Wei and Jin Dynasties flocked to it, but also people took Wu Shi San until the Tang, Song, Ming and Qing Dynasties. It was not until modern times, after the rise of opium, that Wu Shi San was withdrawn from the stage of history.

Over the course of thousands of years, millions of people have taken the drug, and countless people have died as a result.

But no matter how many people die, it can't stop people's enthusiasm for taking drugs, especially those in upper-class aristocratic society. Just like in modern society, empty people often need drugs to anesthetize themselves and relieve stress.

People's bad nature is generally like this, which is why the Five Stones have been spread for thousands of years.

In order to give Cao Liang a closer look, Pei Xiu took out a bag of yellow-red powder from his arms and specifically stated that this bag of five-stone powder was bought from Yipinju, and the price was the ordinary five-stone powder on the market.

scattered several times.

Although Cao Liang had no intention of buying Wu Shi Powder, Pei Xiu still strongly recommended it.

He Yan now serves as the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. Many people deliberately welcome Pei Xiu in order to seek official career. Once addicted to Wushi Powder, it is just like drugs, it is difficult to quit.

So no matter how flattering Pei Xiu was and how much he praised her, Cao Liang had no idea of ​​trying to take Wu Shi San, and the result was that Pei Xiu was miserable.

There are indeed very few people in the scholar circle who do not take medicine. Pei Xiu was naturally surprised by Cao Liang's behavior, but everyone had different preferences, and Pei Xiu could not force him.

It needs to be a little quieter.
