The sunset is extremely beautiful, but it is almost dusk.

Taishang Hanoi, Jiang Linlin's pleasure boat was quiet, which looked very different from the bustling and noisy surrounding it.

The extra tables and chairs were removed from the pleasure boat, leaving only a small table that was exactly the same as in Jiang Linlin's carriage.

Since the delivery, this small table has been a set, divided into male and female. There is no difference in appearance and shape, but the female is slightly smaller, while the male is larger. Jiang Linlin placed this picture in the car model because it is light and convenient, and the male is always left in her own pleasure boat and is usually used as a decoration.

The two of them sat opposite each other, and it was Bi Xiangyu and Deng Pengfei.

There are only a few pots of scattered wine on the small table, and there are no dishes, but it looks very simple and elegant.

"Why did you suddenly sigh?"

Deng Pengfei asked.

After Bi Xiangyu had just drunk a glass of wine, he sighed deeply before the glass fell on the table.

This made Deng Pengfei feel that Bi Xiangyu this year is somewhat different from previous years. At least he used to be very happy when drinking and would never sigh. When he got together today, Bi Xiangyu was still more than an hour late. In the past, he would have stayed in Taishang Hanoi one day in advance, but this was the first time he was late.

Although Bi Xiangyu is Deng Pengfei's sworn brother, the chances of meeting each other in a year are probably this time, and I really can't tell you how well you know. What I remember in my mind is what they said to each other when they met last year.

But last year, there will definitely be some changes this year. Just like the wine on the table, it will settle for more than a year after a year, and it will taste like another year. Even the same wine will taste different every year.

"Nothing, just a little tired."

Bi Xiangyu said with a smile.

Then he raised his glass again and drank all over his neck.

“Where are you tired?”

Deng Pengfei asked.

"Can you still have to distinguish between tiredness?"

Bi Xiangyu asked remarks.

Tired means tired. If you can tell where you are tired, how can you be tired? I am afraid you won’t be tired. It is precisely because you don’t know what to do and when to leave, that you will be helpless with the fatigue.

"That's of course. Life is nothing more than living a body and mind."

Deng Pengfei said.

Bi Xiangyu nodded. He felt that Deng Pengfei was right. But this sentence did not help him at all. It was a complete nonsense.

Many words sound right and make sense, but they have no meaning. Either they are well-known or they cannot change things. In this case, it is better not to say them. Talking them out will not only be of no use, but will also lower your own value.

The difference between a fool and a normal person cannot be seen from the appearance, and you can only feel it when you open your mouth and speak. The biggest reason why fools are annoying is that they always say some extremely correct but extremely meaningless nonsense. Normal people will occasionally do this, but they won’t be like this in every sentence.

Of course, Bi Xiangyu would not think that Deng Pengfei was a fool. Although he didn't speak much, he would definitely be the finishing touch when he opened his mouth. When we met in the past few years, most of them were Bi Xiangyu talking. Deng Pengfei was drinking while listening, always smiling. No matter whether he knew what Bi Xiangyu said or not, he would listen patiently.

In his opinion, as a friend, patience is the top priority for his brothers. If he doesn't even want to listen to the other person's words, then he is not worthy of being his friend.

According to common sense, even if Bi Xiangyu sighed one after another, Deng Pengfei would not ask too much. Because besides patience, the second important thing is trust.

He will naturally say what Bi Xiangyu wants to say. He doesn't want to say, but there is no need to ask. If he asks what he doesn't want to say, Bi Xiangyu will forcefully say it out of affection. Then this will change its taste, so it's better not to say it.

But today both of them were a little strange.

Bi Xiangyu started sighing just after he was late, but Deng Pengfei grabbed the sigh and asked nonetheless.

"If you are tired, you should go to bed. If you are tired, you should drink more wine."

Deng Pengfei continued.

"What if I'm physically and mentally tired?"

Bi Xiangyu asked with a smile.

He thought Deng Pengfei's method was really interesting, which was like what he should have said.

"This depends on whether the body is more tired or the mind is more tired, but it cannot be generalized. If the body is more tired, then go to bed first, wake up and then drink. If the mind is more tired, turn the process upside down."

Deng Pengfei said.

"So what you mean is that there are only two ways to solve the problem with sleeping and drinking?"

Bi Xiangyu asked.

"Yes, at least that's what I did. No other or better way was found at the moment."

Deng Pengfei said.

In fact, Bi Xiangyu really had a question about his brother, but he was not embarrassed to say it out. Every time he met, he thought of drinking a few more glasses of wine to ask, but in the end he was drunk and missed the opportunity, so he could only wait for a year in vain.

"I must be more tired..."

Bi Xiangyu said.

After hearing this, Deng Pengfei didn't say a word, and put the wine glass aside, picked up the wine pot and drank a whole pot of wine with Bi Xiangyu in one breath.

"Does it feel easier now?"

Deng Pengfei asked.

“It’s really much better!”

Bi Xiangyu was not good at drinking so fiercely, but after saying that, he coughed violently for a while.

"You've gained weight after not seeing each other for a year!"

Deng Pengfei said.

Bi Xiangyu is still Bi Xiangyu, but his face is more rounder than last year. Sitting there, his belly is slightly raised, making his clothes deformed. As the saying goes, he has a wide heart and fat body. If a person can gain weight, it means that he is living a good life and should not be tired.

If a person becomes fat, he can always make others feel rich. After all, if you are busy, you will have a leisure time in your life. Eat a few more bites of stable rice and grow two taels of fat. Like Bi Xiangyu, after a year, you will have a round face and a strong belly. Of course, only wealth can be exchanged for wealth.

"I stayed at home last year and did nothing, nor went anywhere."

Bi Xiangyu said.

"This is not possible... People should go around more. If you have nothing to do, why don't you come to Zhongdu City to find me?"

Deng Pengfei asked.

"I thought about going to Zhongdu City for a walk. But if I go, I will definitely have to drink with you, and then say all the words I have accumulated when I haven't met for a while. But if I really go, there will be less than that today. If we just sit and drink like this, wouldn't we look like fools?"

Bi Xiangyu said.

"A fool is definitely not able to sit for a night. If a fool can sit for a night and feel like doing something, then I would rather everyone in the world be fools. It is precisely because there are too many people who think they are smart that this world is so impetuous."

Deng Pengfei said, but sighed.

"We didn't have a stick of incense to meet each other, but everyone sighed. It can be seen that they all seemed to be very tired this year."

Bi Xiangyu said.

Deng Pengfei looked outside through the window of the pleasure boat.

There was still light afterwards, and a wet fragrance suddenly shattered from the Taishang River, and we walked along the open window into the pleasure boat.

"The flowers are floating again?"

Bi Xiangyu asked.

He sat with his back to the window, unable to see the scene outside. However, the smell had nothing to do with vision. When he smelled it, he could know what was going on.

Every other hour in the Taishang River, many petals are placed from the upstream into the river water. The thunder cannot be struck by day and night. This item alone costs hundreds of thousands of taels of silver a year. The gust of fragrant wind that rises is the timer in the Taishang River. After people smell it, they know that another hour has passed. This is also the most praised point in the Taishang River. Those who like it think it is really elegant and tight!

The person who could come up with such an idea must be an ancient man. But they didn't know that this was just an inspiration for a servant to bathe the good girl with the petals saved in order to save trouble. In order to save trouble, they poured all the flowers into the Taishang River.

"Do you know who the owner of this pleasure boat is?"

Deng Pengfei asked.

"Jiang Linlin, the fifth-ranked courtesan in "The Legend of the Spring List".

Bi Xiangyu said.

Deng Pengfei smiled and shook his head, and there was an extra book in his hand. He waved it in front of Bi Xiangyu, and then placed it on a small table.

Bi Xiangyu saw that this was the "Juechun List" of Heaven and this year, and he also received one at that time. However, although he spent a lot of money in Taishang River, he never ordered the courtesan to accompany him. Therefore, he did not have too many ideas about the changes in the rankings on the "Juechun List". Now Deng Pengfei has put this year's latest "Juechun Gang" in front of him, and probably some of them are worth noting.

However, he didn't like to follow the rules when reading things, and flipped them from the front to the back. Instead, he started from the last page and looked back little by little. For things like "Juechun Ban", there is no difference between reading them forward and reverse, but if it were other books, I guess I wouldn't understand them using this method...

Bi Xiangyu turned over page by page, and when he saw the sixth place, Jiang Linlin's name suddenly appeared, which made him feel very incredible.

"Jiang Linlin is ranked sixth this year? Who is the fifth one?!"

Bi Xiangyu said as he opened it and turned the page forward.

Page 5 is a name that makes him extremely unfamiliar. Although he and Deng Pengfei don’t order girls or invite courtesans when they come here every year, they also know very well about the famous girl named Taishang River. He has never heard of who Li Yun is. It seems like mushrooms springing after a rain, and it appears inadvertently, without any preparation.

"Do you know this Li Yun?"

Bi Xiangyu asked.

Deng Pengfei is not a targetless person. Since he asked Bi Xiangyu to watch this "Juanchun List", he must have his own plans.

"I don't know her, but I'm very interested in her!"

Deng Pengfei said with a smile.

"By your identity, what kind of girl can't be seen? Even if Li Yun is the fifth-ranked courtesan of Taishang River, she is still a fairy woman after all. How can she match your family?"
