The main hall has arrived.
Before Cheng Hechuan entered, he heard a burst of rough laughter coming from inside, as loud as a bell.
"Come on, come on, drink! Whoever doesn't drink and get down today won't be able to leave the house like this!"
Cheng Hechuan stood at the door, took a deep breath, and stepped in.
There were seven or eight people sitting in the main hall, all dressed as military generals. They were all big and round, with fleshy faces.
Sitting in the middle was a man in his forties, with a square face, thick eyebrows, thick lips, and a beard on his chin.
The eyes are not big, but very bright.
This person is completely different from Xu Da.
Xu Da is like a knife put into a sheath, its edge sharpened.
The blue jade is like an unsheathed sword, shining with cold light, for fear that others will not see it.
"Hey!" Lan Yu saw Cheng Hechuan at a glance and waved her hand, "Come on, come on! Cheng Yushi! Come on, come on, sit here!"
He patted the spot next to him.
Cheng Hechuan walked over and placed two jars of wine on the table.
Lan Yu glanced at the mud seal of the wine jar and her eyes lit up: "Old store in the south of Chengnan! You know your stuff!"
He opened a jar, poured himself a bowl, and poured another bowl for Cheng Hechuan.
"Come on, do it first as a courtesy!"
Lan Yu raised her neck and drank it all in one gulp.
Cheng Hechuan also did it.
Lan Yu laughed and patted Cheng Hechuan on the shoulder.
"Okay! I'm glad!" Lan Yu wiped her mouth, "I heard that you quarreled with His Majesty in the court and was imprisoned and came out alive. Is this true?"
Cheng Hechuan smiled bitterly: "It's not about scolding, it's..."
"Whatever!" Lan Yu interrupted him, "Anyway, you are a smart person! I am most annoyed by those scholars, all of them are docile, they talk in roundabout ways, and even a fart takes a long time to brew. You are different. If you dare to tell the truth in front of His Majesty, I will obey you!"
Cheng Hechuan didn't know what to say.
This man was so straight that it made him a little flustered.
How can such a person survive in such a court?
"General Lan," Cheng Hechuan picked up the wine bowl, "I'll give you a bowl."
"Don't call me General Lan!" Lan Yu waved her hand, "Call me Brother Lan! How old are you this year?"
"Twenty-five."
"I'm older than you. It's not a loss for you to call me big brother."
Cheng Hechuan smiled: "Brother Lan."
"Hey! That's right!"
After three drinks, Lan Yu talked more.
He talked about the Northern Expedition, how he defeated the Northern Yuan Dynasty in the fishing sea, how he chased the remnants of the Yuan Dynasty for hundreds of miles, and how he captured more than 70,000 prisoners and hundreds of thousands of cattle and sheep.
