Chapter 165: The Lover Meets for the First Time(1/2)

at dusk.

on the street.

In the carriage.

Hu Fei leaned against the carriage and frowned slightly.

There is a sandalwood box next to it, which contains red wine newly developed by the factory.

He was about to rush to the Han Dynasty's palace for a banquet, but halfway there he already regretted agreeing to Li Qi.

Because his intuition told him that this time Li Qi was probably trying to secure a match for him. That day, Li Qi suddenly asked him if he had any girls he liked, and he became suspicious.

"It's really a dog trying to fend off a mouse!"

Thinking of this, Hu Fei couldn't help but smile bitterly and said.

Hearing Hu Fei's soliloquy, Chundie sitting aside could not help but frown.

"Master, are you worried?"

Chundie asked hesitantly. She didn't know what the young master was thinking.

"fine."

Hu Fei smiled bitterly and shook his head.

He had already made up his mind that if Li Qi really wanted to protect his matchmaking, he would leave immediately.

Seeing that the young master didn't want to talk, Chundie stopped asking, but was still full of curiosity.

"Master, we're here."

At this moment, Pei Jie's voice came in from outside, and then the carriage stopped.

"Just die!"

Hu Fei took a deep breath, muttered something silently in his mind, got up and walked out.

The carriage has stopped at the entrance of the Korean Government Palace, and just like last time, Li Qi has been waiting outside the door.

"Brother Xian, you are here."

Seeing Hu Fei get off the carriage, Li Qi greeted him with a smile, his hands clasped, his face full of joy.

"I kept my cousin waiting for a long time, am I not late?"

Hu Fei also cupped his hands, squeezed out a smile, and said slowly.

Seeing the uncontrollable smile on Li Qi's face, he felt a tingle in his heart, and he felt more and more that his guess was right.

"No, no, hurry, hurry, please come inside."

Li Qi smiled and shook his head, making a gesture of invitation.

Hu Fei nodded and walked inside fearfully.

"By the way, I brought two bottles of good wine today. You and your uncle will taste it later and make a review."

Hu Fei remembered the red wine he had brought. He walked in with a straight face, pointed at the sandalwood box held by Chun Die who was following him, and said slowly.

"Okay, okay, I've heard for a long time that Hong Binlou's wine is famous far and wide, so I'd like to try it today."

Li Qi turned his head and glanced at the sandalwood box in Chundie's hand, and said with a smile.

But in Hu Fei's eyes, his smile was not because of the two bottles of red wine that had not yet been unveiled, but because it had a different meaning.

As Hu Fei followed Li Qi through the door, Xiao Wu and Pei Jie, who were driving the car, stayed outside, sitting in the car eating dry food and swallowing hard as they looked at the door of the house in front of them.

In the main hall of the front yard, Li Shanchang stood at the door. He saw Hu Fei's figure from a distance, and he couldn't help but reveal an intriguing smile.

"My nephew has met his uncle. I wonder how his uncle is doing these days?"

Hu Fei walked closer, bowed his hands to Li Shanchang, and said respectfully.

"Very good, very good. Come on, come on. No need to be polite. Please come in quickly."

Li Shan smiled and stroked his beard, looked Hu Fei up and down, and then hurriedly invited Hu Fei to come in.

Hu Fei nodded and walked into the main hall with Chundie.

After sitting down, Hu Fei found that apart from him, the only people attending the dinner were Li Shanchang and his son, so he felt a little relieved.

Immediately afterwards, Li Qi ordered the servants in the mansion to start serving food.

Hu Fei also asked Chundie to open the sandalwood box, took out two bottles of red wine, and poured a glass for each of the three of them.

Seeing the bright red wine in Chundie's hand, Li Shanchang and Li Qi were both stunned. They looked at it curiously, then picked up the red wine in the glass and smelled it.

"Is this wine?"

Li Qi looked at the red wine in the glass and couldn't help but ask.

In fact, wine has been brewed as far back as the Tang Dynasty, but it is actually different from wine in the popular sense, so it is not surprising that it was produced in the Ming Dynasty.

"Yes and no."

"My wine is different from other people's wines. My cousin will know after drinking it."

Hu Fei smiled, raised his hand to signal, and said slowly.

Originally, he wanted to be the first person to invent red wine, but then he learned that red wine had already existed in the Tang Dynasty. However, due to the production process, limited conditions, etc., there was no mass production, and it was only made in the palace.

Only then can I drink.

So he focused on the raw materials. According to his knowledge, he added not only grapes, but also other fruits from the Western Regions, plus some raw materials that he suddenly thought of, and mixed them together to make it.

.

Moreover, he has blended it with the beer he developed before, coupled with the specially crafted exquisite porcelain bottle, and the sandalwood outer box that looks valuable in terms of texture and appearance, making his red wine look very novel and luxurious.

After listening to Hu Fei's words, Li Qi tried to take a sip, then his eyes widened and he couldn't help but praise.

Seeing his son full of praise, Li Shanchang couldn't help but take a sip, and then couldn't help but show a look of surprise.

“It’s sweet in the mouth, fragrant and lingering on the teeth, and the wine tastes light, not bad!”

"Good wine! Good wine!"

Li Shanchang looked at Hu Fei and couldn't help but praise loudly.

"And this bottle and box are also carefully made by Xiandi, right? It's wonderful!"

Li Qi looked at the red wine bottles and sandalwood boxes on the table and couldn't help but praise them.

"That's right."

"Since even my uncle and cousin have praised this wine, it seems that I can notify the factory and mass-produce it. However, this wine is expensive and I plan to only supply it to the palace and princely families."

Hu Fei nodded and said with a smile.

"I'll order ten boxes first!"

Li Qi smiled and said loudly.

"Okay, but friendship is friendship, money still has to be paid."

Hu Fei nodded and said jokingly.

"Don't worry, I won't miss you even a cent."

Li Qi laughed and said.

At this moment, a group of servants brought various dishes to the table, and the three of them began to chat while eating.

But Hu Fei suddenly noticed a detail. There were five sets of bowls and chopsticks on the table. What he hadn't noticed just now was that there were even five chairs.

This means that there are still two people who are not present!

"My dear nephew, although you are not really famous yet, you are still relatively successful. You are about to get married. Have you ever thought about marrying your father a wife as soon as possible?"

Li Shanchang seemed to see the confusion between Hu Fei's brows, and suddenly changed the topic and asked with a smile.

"Don't worry, my nephew hasn't thought about this yet. It won't be too late in two years."

Hu Fei raised his eyebrows, forced out an awkward yet polite smile, and answered slowly.

He knows that he guessed it right!

Li Shanchang has already started!

"This is a lifelong event. There is no need to have a deadline. If you like a girl from a certain family, you might as well tell your uncle and he will make the decision for you."

Li Shanchang smiled and said.

"What a coincidence. Not long ago, my cousin also wanted to secure a match for his nephew. I wonder if the two of you have discussed it? Or has your uncle already chosen a candidate for your nephew?"

Hu Fei glanced across the faces of Li Shanchang and Li Qi and asked slowly.

After hearing Hu Fei's words, Li Shanchang turned to look at his son, and the two looked at each other and smiled.

Seeing Li Shanchang's smile, Hu Fei became more sure of his guess and felt that he had been trapped.

"Since my nephew has seen it, I won't hide it anymore."
