"Of course not." Zhou Jianlai hurriedly waved his hands and said with a smile: "The girl is as beautiful as a fairy. Let alone pouring wine, even pouring a glass of plain water can make us drunk."
"Humph, you're so glib!" Gujin Yu's peach blossom eyes were filled with autumn water, and she let out a sweet voice, which made the drinkers' hearts tremble.
Zhou Jianlai was the first to bear the brunt, his heart trembled, he secretly said that he couldn't bear it, and he quickly turned his eyes away, not daring to look into Gu Jinyu's rippling peach blossom eyes.
Seeing Zhou Jianlai's embarrassed look, Gu Jinyu burst into laughter and asked, "Then why did you ask for the wine pot?"
"I want to treat the brother and the lady to a drink, so I don't dare to trouble the girl to hold the pot and pour the wine." Zhou Jianlai responded, raising his hand and pointing to the right.
Gu Jinyu took the opportunity to look to the right, and the first thing he saw was the man in Tsing Yi sitting in the pavilion next door and the unattractive woman sitting at the table with him.
Her eyes did not linger on the two of them because they were too ordinary, so she simply ignored them.
She continued to look to the right and saw several people walking along the corridor. The ones walking in front were a man and a woman.
These two people have known each other since ancient times. The man is Huo Xingwu and the woman is Xie Siyan. They are both children of famous families in the imperial capital.
These two people had noble status. Gu Jinyu subconsciously thought that it was the two of them that Zhou Jianlai wanted to invite. His eyes lingered on the two of them for a moment and then he looked away. He smiled at Zhou Jianlai and said, "It's not impossible to ask the little girl to pour a glass of wine for the two of them."
.”
She said this, but she pushed the wine bottle in her hand to Zhou Jianlai. It was obvious that Huo Xingwu and Xie Siyan could not get into her eyes.
"The little girl heard from the sword slave that the two young masters seemed to be coming to the imperial capital for the first time. I wonder what their relationship is with those two men?" Gu Jinyu asked curiously.
Zhou Jianlai picked up the wine pot, stood up and said to his side: "We meet by chance, and we fall in love with each other."
Gu Jinyu was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then said in amazement: "If we meet by chance, please drink Jianmei wine. You will be so rich."
Zhou Jianlai said with a smile: "What about being ostentatious? Good wine should be drunk with close friends. Otherwise, it will be fairy wine and it won't taste very good."
"Haha, well said." Huo Xingwu, who was walking towards him, heard Zhou Jianlai's words and couldn't help but clapped his hands and praised him.
The conversation between Gu Jinyu and Zhou Jianlai was unobstructed, and Huo Xingwu's attention was entirely on Gu Jinyu, so he could hear their conversation clearly.
Like Gu Jinyu, he also thought that the people Zhou Jianlai wanted to invite were him and Xie Siyan beside him.
Especially after Gu Jinyu's eyes briefly paused on the two of them just now, he was even more certain.
Although he didn't know who Zhou Jianlai was and why he invited him to drink Jianmei wine when they first met, it didn't affect Huo Xingwu's happiness at all, because it was so honorable to be invited to drink Jianmei wine.
Huo Xingwu couldn't help but quicken his pace. He cupped his hands at Zhou Jianlai from a distance and laughed loudly: "Brother and I also met each other and hit it off. You and I, Huo Xingwu, are committed to each other."
Xie Siyan, who was walking side by side with Huo Xingwu, also saluted Zhou Jianlai and said with a smile: "Little girl and——"
As soon as she finished speaking, she stopped abruptly, and the smile on her face froze for a moment, and then she blushed with embarrassment, because she saw Zhou Jianlai carrying a wine bottle, walked straight to the pavilion next to him, and sat down with him in the pavilion with a smile.
The two people standing there greeted each other.
Only then did she suddenly realize that the people Zhou Jianlai wanted to invite were not her and Huo Xingwu at all, it was the two of them who were just being sentimental.
In the pavilion, the man in Tsing Yi looked at Zhou Jianlai who came to him with a surprised look on his face. He did not dare to think that the person Zhou Jianlai wanted to invite was actually him.
"Please - please me? Young Master - don't be joking!" The man in Tsing Yi was embarrassed and embarrassed. He felt that Zhou Jianlai was deliberately teasing him, but there was still a hint of timid expectation and desire deep in his eyes, hoping that this would be the case.
real.
Zhou Jianlai smiled and did not answer the man in Tsing Yi immediately. Instead, he filled the empty wine glass in front of the man in Tsing Yi with a jasper wine flask and answered him with practical actions.
"This - this -" The man in green blushed with excitement, and he couldn't speak for a moment, not knowing how to thank Zhou Jianlai.
Zhou Jianlai put the jasper wine bottle on the stone table and expressed sincere thanks to the man in green: "My two brothers came to Wanjiange for the first time and had little knowledge. Thanks to my brother's kind words and reminders, we didn't make a joke. I am very grateful."
I offer you a glass of water and wine to express my gratitude, and I hope you don’t dislike it.”
"It's expensive, it's expensive. I just said a few more nonsense, how dare you accept such a courtesy from the young master?" The man in Tsing Yi said flattered.
Zhou Jianlai waved his hand and said with a smile: "In my eyes, it is wine first, and then it is the spiritual liquid that helps cultivation. Since it is wine, it is natural to share it with friends who are close to you."
After finishing speaking, he looked at the woman sitting opposite the man in green and said: "I feel that this girl's sword intention is unstable, and there seems to be a sign of a breakthrough. I hope that the remaining wine in this pot can help.
girl."
When the woman heard this, she was excited and grateful. She quickly bowed deeply to Zhou Jianlai, then raised her finger to point to her mouth and made two "Ahhh" sounds in her mouth, apologetically signaling to Zhou Jianlai that she was mute and could not express her gratitude.
Zhou Jianlai smiled and nodded, saying it was okay.
The surrounding drinkers were all dumbfounded. Who would have thought that Zhou Jianlai would give away half a bottle of Jianmei wine to two people who met by chance, so generously that they felt suffocated.
Many people showed regret on their faces, especially those who had ridiculed and laughed at Zhou Jianlai. They were filled with regret and blamed themselves for not having the vision of the man in green. If they could have seen Zhou Jianlai's extraordinaryness earlier, he would have done it.
If you go ahead and try to please me, you might even be able to get a glass of sword plum wine.
Gu Jinyu was also stunned for a while before he came back to his senses.
She mistakenly thought that Zhou Jianlai wanted to invite Huo Xingwu and Xie Siyan to drink plum wine. She thought that he had just arrived in the imperial capital and wanted to make friends with some powerful people. However, she never expected that the people Zhou Jianlai wanted to invite turned out to be two people who met by chance in the pavilion next door.
A very ordinary stranger generously gave away the remaining half a bottle of wine.
Even though she had seen the world quite a bit, she couldn't help but exclaim: "How arrogant!"
However, as soon as she finished speaking, she heard Niu Dawa curse and say: "You are a arrogant and a waste of money!"
Gujinyu laughed dumbly.
On the other side, Huo Xingwu and Xie Siyan, who had the same misunderstanding as Gu Jinyu, were so embarrassed that they wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in.
The two of them were filled with resentment and felt that they were being tricked by Zhou Jianlai, so their faces turned as dark as the bottom of a pot.
This was originally a misunderstanding. If you were more open-minded, you would have laughed it off. But Huo Xingwu couldn't swallow this breath. He felt that he had lost face in public and wanted to get it back.
He walked up to Zhou Jianlai with a dark face and asked angrily: "Did you just shout and disturb people's peace here?"
He didn't have the shame to ask Zhou Jianlai why he didn't invite him to drink, so he could only blame Zhou Jianlai before he came. However, when he heard Zhou Jianlai's shouting in the attic room earlier, he was so happy that he didn't feel unhappy at all.
Therefore, yelling and yelling to disturb people's peace is just nitpicking and unreasonable.
Zhou Jianlai could naturally hear the unkindness in Huo Xingwu's tone, but he was not angry. Instead, he met Huo Xingwu's domineering gaze apologetically and said humbly: "I was reckless and disturbed the tranquility of the young master. I hope you will forgive me."
"Hmph!" Huo Xingwu snorted angrily.
Zhou Jianlai's humble attitude made him feel like a punch on cotton. The resentment stuck in his throat could not be vented, which made him feel very uncomfortable.
But Zhou Jianlai had already apologized. If he continued to chatter, he would be too petty and make people laugh, so he had to temporarily swallow the resentment in his throat, snorted and walked past, walking towards the pavilion where Gu Jinyu was.
Xie Siyan was much meaner than Huo Xingwu. When she passed by Zhou Jianlai, she stopped and sneered: "A cripple with a broken arm also wants to let the Sword of Light recognize his master. It's really ridiculous. Good dogs don't block the way, get out of the way."
!”
Zhou Jianlai looked at the arrogant Xie Siyan, smiled, did not care about it, and took a step to the side.
In fact, he was standing by the stone table, several steps away from Xie Siyan, and couldn't block her way at all.
"snort!"
Xie Siyan was very satisfied with Zhou Jianlai's concession. She raised her head, hummed, and walked forward.
The few young masters following these two men, perhaps because they saw that Zhou Jianlai was easy to bully, imitated their example and warned Zhou Jianlai condescendingly.
"Boy, don't think that if you buy a pot of sword plum wine, you can walk around the imperial capital without paying attention to anyone. Let me tell you, this is the imperial capital, and there are a lot of people you can't afford to offend."
"Put your eyes into focus."
"If you dare to yell again, I will drive you out of Wanjiang Pavilion."
Every word he said was arrogant, but Zhou Jianlai never got angry because he felt that these people's words and deeds were boring and childish, and it was really boring to argue with them.
When a group of people walked past the pavilion, the man in green quickly lowered his voice to remind Zhou Jianlai, saying: "These are the young ladies from wealthy families in the imperial capital. They are always arrogant and domineering. The young master has just arrived in the imperial capital and is not familiar with the place. If you don't provoke them, it will be the best."
It’s best not to provoke him.”
Zhou Jianlai smiled and nodded.
The man in Tsing Yi saw that Zhou Jianlai looked calm and calm, and was not angry at all because of the verbal provocations and offenses of Huo Xingwu and his group, as if he was listening to a harmless joke. The admiration in his heart arose spontaneously, and he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
The thumb praised: "The master's magnanimity, open-mindedness and pride are far beyond the reach of ordinary people. The master is like a dragon or a phoenix among people."
Zhou Jianlai waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's nothing like a dragon or a phoenix. It's just fighting and killing. I have experienced too much life and death, so I have taken everything lightly."
The man in green couldn't help being stunned when he heard the words. The vicissitudes in Zhou Jianlai's words made it impossible for him to correspond to Zhou Jianlai's age. He couldn't help but be curious and wanted to know what Zhou Jianlai had experienced to make such a young man speak.
Come to such vicissitudes of life.
He secretly glanced at Zhou Jianlai's broken arm, thinking that Zhou Jianlai's experience must have been extremely cruel.
"You two, please be patient. I'll go over and take a look. My brother has a bad temper. Don't cause trouble soon." Zhou Jianlai said.
"Young master's gift of wine——"
The man in green clothes wanted to thank him again, but was interrupted by Zhou Jianlai, who waved his hand and said: "A glass of water and wine is nothing for the children of the world. Isn't it pretentious to say thank you again and again? Stop saying it. Stop saying it."
Upon hearing this, the man in green clothes immediately stopped talking and bowed deeply to Zhou Jian's departing figure together with his mute sister.
Huo Xingwu and his entourage entered the pavilion, and immediately the stars in the sky surrounded the ancient and modern rain.
Huo Xingwu seemed to have lost his memory, forgetting the embarrassment just now, put on a warm smile on his face, politely bowed to Gu Jinyu, and said: "I haven't seen you for a few days, and Miss Gu has become even more beautiful."
Not to be outdone, Xie Siyan and others rushed to say hello to Gujinyu.
The words of praise are endless.
"Cough——" Niu Dawa frowned slightly, coughed slightly, and said, "Can you go somewhere else to reminisce and chat? There are so many people crowded in this small pavilion. It's very noisy and boring.
