The father-in-law and son-in-law are having a great time talking to each other here.
While Pei's mother and Pei Yuqin were busy cooking and drinking in the kitchen, Pei Yu'an couldn't cook even if he wanted to help, so he could only sit upright like a clay puppet.
Shen Yu had met Pei Yuqin's father, Pei Shao, twice before.
Today is the first time that Shen Yu meets Pei Yuqin’s mother.
Pei's mother's surname is Lin, and her name is Lin Fengjuan. She looks exactly like Pei Yuqin, has a dignified and elegant temperament, and is a very kind person.
After meeting Shen Yu, he greeted her with greetings, which warmed the heart of Shen Yu who had been without a mother since childhood.
"Uncle Pei, I think Yu'an has a very good eye for identifying antiques, and he will probably become a well-known collector like you in the future."
When talking to your future father-in-law, if you say something nice and pleasant to the ear, you are definitely right.
Of course, boasting about my brother-in-law is one of them.
"Haha." Mr. Pei Shao laughed twice in comfort, but immediately changed the subject, "Xiao Shen, what do you think of my ancestral home?"
Shen Yu did not praise it immediately, but stood up and observed it carefully, "The front door of this house is close to the street, and the back door is close to the water. It is a quiet place in the bustle. The most important thing is that the terrain is high, no matter how heavy the rain is, it can be drained." Go to the Shou River behind the house. In ancient times, this was a rare geomantic treasure."
Pei Shao raised his eyebrows and smiled happily, "It's not really a geomantic treasure, but as you said, Xiao Shen, no matter how hard it rains, it can be drained out."
Shen Yu refilled Pei Shao's cup of black tea and continued to praise, "Uncle Pei, if I guess correctly, your ancestors are believed to be from a wealthy businessman or a noble family, right?"
Pei Shao's face was full of doubts: "Hey, Xiao Shen, how did you know?"
Shen Yujing calmly said: "Although our Chuzhou is not a provincial capital, it has been an important transportation center between the north and the south since ancient times. There are rivers everywhere and many official roads. Merchants from the north come to the south, and merchants from the south go to the north. Whether it is land or water, they are often It has to pass through Chuzhou, so commerce is extremely developed.
"Although Shouhe Town used to be just an outer city of the old city of Chuzhou, this kind of quiet house with a well in the house was really not cheap at that time. If you don't have a thousand taels of silver, you can't even think about it, so I guess uncle Your ancestors were definitely not ordinary people."
"Xiao Shen, you really guessed it right. My ancestors have been doing business for generations and are considered to be a prosperous family. Later, my great-grandfather passed the Jinshi examination and served as county magistrate for two terms before he changed his mind to farming and studying. However, my great-grandfather was not very knowledgeable. Okay, let's switch to business again. Yu'an, go to the side room and get my box of Chuzhou Daqu that I have treasured for twenty years. No matter what you say today, I will have a few drinks with Xiao Shen."
Pei Yu'an felt as if she had been granted amnesty and hurriedly ran to the wing.
After Pei Yuqin and her mother Lin Fengjuan served eight side dishes to go with wine, including sliced chicken, soy sauce beef, fried river shrimp, fried small fish, steamed crab, stir-fried squid tentacles, duck blood vermicelli soup, and fried peanuts, Pei Yu'an Just now I slowly brought in a cardboard box with Chuzhou Daqu written on it.
The box is not worn, but the writing and trademark pattern on it have faded, indicating that it has been stored for a long time.
Chuzhou Daqu is not a famous liquor that is famous throughout the country, nor is it very expensive. However, because it is brewed with high-quality new grains such as wheat, rice, corn, sorghum, and glutinous rice, and is particularly suitable for the taste of Chuzhou people drinking liquor, it is very popular. Loved by Chuzhou people.
Regardless of whether you are a wealthy businessman or an ordinary citizen, if you bring out Chuzhou Daqu when you are sitting together drinking, no one will say that you are treating your guests poorly, and there is no shame in it, because everyone loves to drink.
Shen Yu unscrewed the wine bottle skillfully and filled Pei Shao's glass first.
The cup used for drinking is a six-cent white porcelain wine cup, which is also what Chuzhou people are used to drinking.
Half a mouthful costs three coins, clinking a glass costs six coins.
The wine was filled but not a drop was spilled. Pei Shao looked at Shen Yu in surprise.
"Xiao Shen, do you often drink?"
Shen Yu smiled: "No, it's because my grandfather likes to drink. He drinks two taels every day at noon and night. When I was a child, I rushed to pour wine for my grandfather in order to have a few mouthfuls of food and drinks on the table. It has been a habit for so many years, no matter how big it is. I only need to glance at the wine glass, and even if I close my eyes, there will be no overflow or lack of wine."
Pei Shao suddenly realized, "That's it. Let me tell you, even an old drunkard like me can't say that I don't spill a drop when I pour the wine."
Shen Yu also filled up his own wine glass before putting down the bottle. He sat up straight. Shen Yu picked up the wine glass with both hands and said, "Uncle Pei, I respect you."
Pei Shao waved his hand, "You don't need to be so restrained when you get home. Who has two hands to hold the glass when drinking?"
Shen Yu smiled and quickly took back his left hand.
Pei Shao then picked up the wine glass with satisfaction. The two of them clinked their glasses, drank it all, and showed each other the empty glasses.
"Xiao Shen, what do you think of Qin'er, no, what do you think of Yuqin?"
"Opinion?"
Shen Yu was stunned when he heard this.
Pei Shao sighed, "Your aunt said that it's not good for a girl to show her face outside, but she can't be kept at home..."
"Uncle Pei, it is normal for girls to work now. What's more, Sister Qin is the president of a large company and manages more than 2,000 people. In other words, 2,000 people eat with her. It is both an honor and a responsibility."
Pei Shao looked sad, "The problem is that she is so obsessed with her career that her marriage has been delayed. Besides, Yuqin has been in the management for a long time, so she will inevitably have a bad temper. If this continues, no one will like her."< /p>
Shen Yu drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, "Uncle Pei, I have to refute what you said. Not only is there a huge crowd of people chasing Sister Qin in the Gaogu Building, but there are dozens of people sending flowers every day, so I still feel that I am qualified enough to dare." Those who dare to express themselves will probably queue up from the first floor to the top."
Pei Shao motioned to Shen Yu to fill it up for him, "Xiao Shen, you are exaggerating. There are so many people chasing Yuqin, why didn't I know?"
"Don't you know today that I am Sister Qin's suitor? Uncle Pei, it's hard to pursue Sister Qin. In order to gain Sister Qin's favor, I send flowers to Gao Gu Building every day. I have sent a few here. Yue Cai said two or three words to Sister Qin..."
Poof!
Pei Yu'an, who had just eaten a full-sized yellow sea crab, was drinking tea to relieve his tiredness. When he heard Shen Yu say this, he spit out a sip of tea.

Even Pei Yuqin, who was sitting not far away and reading a book, couldn't help laughing.
Then Pei Shao's eyes changed when he looked at Shen Yu.
It turned into the way a father-in-law looks at his son-in-law, thinking that this little guy is too smart.
Shen Yu smiled bitterly in his heart. This was not Shen Yu's pretense. Your daughter, who is regarded as a treasure, likes you. You can't tell your father-in-law that it was your daughter who chased me.
Besides, Shen Yu felt that he didn’t know how to repay Sister Qin for her kindness, so he could only make up his mind to be kind to Sister Qin for the rest of his life.
The atmosphere is there, and the more wine you drink, the happier you become.
The two of them came and went, and after a while, a bottle of white wine hit the bottom.
Continue to open the wine, and after a while the three bottles of white wine became three empty bottles.
After all, Pei Shao is getting older. He weighs more than 62 degrees of Chuzhou Daqu per kilogram, and he is already a little awkward when speaking.
In fact, after finishing the second bottle and not even half of the third bottle, Pei Shao started talking while drinking and had to pull Shen Yu over to him.
Lin Fengjuan was so angry that she kept complaining that Pei Shao was embarrassed in front of juniors.
Pei Yuqin also said with an angry face that Shen Yu shouldn't drink so much when he was recovering from a serious illness.
Shen Yu helped Pei Shao up and said, "Pure food and wine are not intoxicating. Besides, it is rare for my uncle to be so happy. There is nothing that can dampen his happiness."
After carefully placing Pei Shao on the bed, Shen Yu went out again and found that Pei Yu'an had already escaped.
It was like he and Pei Yuqin were the only two people left in the yard.
"Sister Qin, I rarely come to Shouhe Town. I didn't expect the scenery and architecture to be so good. Why not go for a walk?"
"Let's go."
Pei Yuqin picked up her coat and was about to hold Shen Yu's arm.
Shen Yu took Pei Yuqin's coat, then gently held her right hand, and the two of them went out clinging to each other.
When Shen Yu and Pei Yuqin just went out, Pei Shao, who was so drunk that he was unconscious, suddenly sat up. He first looked at the backs of Shen Yu and Pei Yuqin, and then smiled to his wife: "What, Xiao Shen, are you still looking at it?" OK."
There was a bit of a smile on Lin Fengjuan's face, "Neither humble nor arrogant, and good-looking. Together with Qin'er, it can be said that they are a match made in heaven."
After saying that, her face turned cold again, "It's just that you know people but don't know their hearts. Qin'er was hurt once. It's still unclear whether this time it will be a good marriage!"
Pei Shao stretched out and lay down again, "You can rest assured about the character. It's not just the eldest daughter of our family who likes Xiao Shen, the ladies of the Li family and the Gu family also like Xiao Shen. If you want to worry, just go first
I wonder if Xiaoqin can catch Xiao Shen."
"Okay, I need to take a nap to sober up. This guy is really good at drinking. I think he can drink all six bottles. Hehe, with such a huge number of sons-in-law, I have to go out and show off at any cost."
