Siheyuan: I have traveled through time and space and still can’t eat enough?

Yan Jiekuang nodded and let everyone in the Yan family go back first.

He first sent Guan Xiaoguan home before returning to the courtyard.

The next day, Yan Jiekuang closed the hotel earlier than scheduled in order to welcome the fight between Grandpa Guan and Broken Monkey.

It soon became dark. Grandpa Guan came in with Han Chunming, and Broken Monkey also brought Hou Su'e into the restaurant.

The father and daughter had reconciled a long time ago. Just like in the original drama, Han Chunming wanted to get the gift box from the Broken Monkey and happened to meet Hou Su'e at his house.

Upon learning that Hou Su'e's husband had no money for medical treatment, she borrowed money everywhere to help her, but this time she went directly to Yan Jiekuang.

Yan Jiekuang naturally knew the story, so without saying a word, he directly paid all of Hou Su'e's medical expenses.

Because of this, Broken Monkey thanked him specially and gave him a jade ornament.

Han Chunming also got the long-desired invitation box and became close friends with the Polan Hou.

"Master Guan, I greet you."

When Marquis Polan saw Old Man Guan for the first time, he immediately bowed and greeted him. These old people have many rules and they all attach great importance to them.

"no!"

"嗻"

After the two men exchanged greetings, they prepared to sit down and drink.

But I didn't expect the lazy cat to sit down first. This was against the rules and a bit disrespectful to the elders.

But Grandpa Guan was reluctant to take care of it, and Hou Paolan couldn't do anything about it.

However, with Yan Jiekuang there, he pulled Guan Xiaoguan and motioned for her to stand up.

Guan Xiaoguan glanced at him and found that everyone else was still standing, so he stood up obediently.

After the two of them sat down, the first contest was a poetry competition.

Mr. Guan is highly respected and he started with the poem "I am tired of drinking at night, and I won't go home until I am drunk."

Hou Polan responded with "The wind and rain are dark and the roosters are crowing incessantly", and he won slightly.

Mr. Guan got off to a bad start, lost the first game, and had to drink a penalty glass of wine.

"I drink all night and never go home until I'm drunk"

This line comes from the Book of Songs, Xiaoya, Zhanlu, which means "At such a grand banquet, I won't go home unless I get drunk!"

In the original drama, the drinking contest between the two people has two deep meanings. One is to settle previous grievances, and the other is to decide the management rights of the restaurant.

Although now it’s just to settle the grudge, there’s nothing else to do.

But the drinking contest to decide the winner still takes place in a restaurant, so it is most appropriate for Mr. Guan to start the story with "drinking".

Let’s also talk about the line “The wind and rain are dark, and the roosters are crowing incessantly.”

It comes from "The Book of Songs·Zheng Feng·Wind and Rain", which means "On a dark morning with wind and rain, the roosters crowing incessantly."

The poem that Polan Hou responded with was more powerful than that of Grandpa Guan, so he won the first game.

But the second round they played was Feihualing.

This round is relatively simple. Grandpa Guan wins if he can connect the upper and lower couplets.

Polan Hou came up with the first line of the couplet: "The immortal came down from the sea and left me a coral hook."

Grandpa Guan responded with the second line "The crystal light is dazzling, and the wonderful colors shine across the nine states."

These two sentences are from Zhao Mengfu's "Presented to Dai Shuai for the First Time in Building a Pavilion"

The immortal came from the sea and left me a coral hook.

The crystal light dazzles everyone's eyes, and the wonderful colors shine across Jiuzhou.

Since I got this treasure, I have been playing with it day and night.

Don’t regret being born too late, and be with this kind of people.

What a pity that there are endless things that can be used to make preparations.

The morality of the world is declining, to whom can we turn for help in the ancient customs?

What is there to see in Emei Mountain? It only makes so many girls worry.

It is certainly desirable to conform to the customs, but it is also worrying to put oneself in danger.

I am grateful for your words and I bow to you again with tears in my eyes.

I wish I could ride on the unicorn and travel far with you.

Hou Polan was drinking, which meant: You came up with the second line of the couplet, so I lost.

But at this time, Mr. Guan said, "Don't worry, it's not over yet. There are two more sentences at the end, you have to fill them in for me."

The rag-and-bone Marquis was alert and said, "Please enlighten me."

But Grandpa Guan said, "Since I have acquired this precious treasure, I will spend the whole night playing with stones."

This sentence was incorrect, but Hou Paolan didn't know it, so he had to drink another glass.

Grandpa Guan continued, "You mentioned corals. This coral grows one circle every year. How many circles have they grown in modern times? How many circles have they grown in ancient times?"

In fact, this is a bit like taking advantage of one's seniority and acting like a rogue.

The Broken Marquis could not resist and could only gently remind him: "Master Guan, we can't play like this."

What it means is: This is not considered Feihualing, you are off topic!

But who made Grandpa Guan the elder? The Broken Marquis also accepted it.

But Mr. Guan did not give up and continued to give the answer: "360 circles for modern times and 380 circles for ancient fossils."

Hou Paolan had no choice but to drink another glass.

I thought that was the end of it, and it was time for Hou Polan to make a move.

Unexpectedly, Mr. Guan said, "I heard that it has reached 400 laps recently."

Hou Pao Lan could only drink another glass as an apology for the wrong thing his father had done.

But there is also a deeper reason, which is that Hou Lan is laying the groundwork for what is to come.

Old Master Guan naturally knew that there would be a sequel, so he took advantage of his seniority to get Hou Polan to drink a few more glasses, so that he would have nothing to worry about.

Although it was Hou Polan's father who did something wrong back then, the fact that he lost to Grandpa Guan became a thorn in his father's side.

As a son, it is natural for me to seek revenge for my father. It has nothing to do with right or wrong.

He asked Hou Su'e to take out the "twenty-three kinds of wine" that she had prepared in advance, and asked Grandpa Guan to taste what these wines were one by one.

I wanted to stump Mr. Guan with this, but I didn't expect that he could identify what the first three glasses of wine were just by smelling them.

Marquis Paola was not convinced and demanded to continue, but Grandpa Guan didn't want to play anymore, so he asked Han Chunming or Little Lazy Cat to continue for him.

Han Chunming was afraid that the lazy cat would be bullied by the Broken Hou, so he volunteered to step forward, but the Broken Hou would not let him and insisted that the lazy cat take the fight.

Seeing how confident Mr. Guan was, he wanted to see how big the gap was between him and him.

Unexpectedly, the lazy cat was not simple either. He dipped a chopstick into three wine glasses and said "Wuliangye", "Luzhou Tequ" and "Baishui".

Hou Paolan didn't believe it, so he took the wine glass and smelled it. He lost another game and drank two glasses of wine in a row.

Seeing that he could not defeat the grandfather and grandson, Marquis Paola stopped the drinking contest before Han Chunming even came on stage.

"Wait, no more playing."

At this time, Master Guan asked a soul-searching question: "Do you accept it?"

But the Tattered Marquis is not someone who will give up easily: "I accept it, but I don't."

"Master Guan, did you know that one day I would come to you on behalf of my father? You have been preparing for this for 20 years."

Seeing that Marquis Pulan was still unwilling to accept the result, Old Man Guan also lost his temper. He took the opportunity to start teaching Marquis Pulan a lesson.

"What about you? Your daughter is here today, too. Where have you been? Why didn't you teach her well?"

"You just tinker with your junk all day long and haven't spoken to your own daughter for more than ten years. Today I want to teach you how to be an elder."

Grandpa Guan's words made the ragged Marquis feel ashamed. He stood up with the wine glass in his hand and drank another glass himself: "Okay, I've learned my lesson!"

At this point, the most classic scene in "Under the Gate of Zhengyang" has ended. Although it is slightly different from the original drama, it is basically the same.

Yan Jiekuang felt his blood boiling after watching this.
