Is there any reason for this group of dandy kids who have grown up to play together to get together in one place without making a scene? Especially today, they are congratulating Jia Lian on his promotion, so naturally they are getting more and more excited.
Everyone laughed and laughed for a while, and then everyone went back to their seats. When Jia Lian saw that the first seat was reserved for him, he kept giving in and refused to take his seat no matter what.
Xie Qianli saw that he kept asking the eldest Chen Jingxing to give in, so he lit the wine glass on the table and said:
"Yongbi, we are all congratulating you today, so please don't give in. If you feel bad about it, you might as well ask someone to send you a few jars of good wine.
Ever since I drank the good wine from you, I feel more and more that this Huiquan wine and Jinhua wine are tasteless."
Jia Lian smiled and said:
"You all invite me, but it would be inappropriate for me to bring my own wine."
Xie Qianli pointed at Chen Jingxing:
"I said we can go to Dongfeng Tower, but he insists on coming here."
Niu Song shook his head and said:
"How can there be any reason to invite someone to their own restaurant? This guy is totally unreasonable."
Chen Jingxing pinned Jia Lian on the chief seat and whispered:
"This is the largest restaurant in the capital. If a group of us were here to drink the wine from your pot, wouldn't your reputation as the 'Wine Swordsman' become even more famous?"
Jia Lian chuckled and said, "I would say Yang Zhi knows how to love me best."
Chen Jingxing was so frightened that he immediately let go:
"You're such a pervert, don't touch a clean person like me."
Jia Lian called Xing'er up and told him to go to Dongfeng Tower quickly and bring more jars of good wine.
When everyone heard about it, they all shouted, "I won't go home until I'm drunk."
.
Although Yu Youde, the shopkeeper of Jixian Building, was greeting the guests downstairs, his ears were always pointed upward. He was always listening to the yelling of a group of young men in their twenties in the private room upstairs, fearing that the service would not be attentive.
Something went wrong.
He faintly heard the words "Dongfeng Tower" coming out, and couldn't help but frown quietly.
Immediately, the waiter upstairs also hurried down and quietly told the shopkeeper that the gang of young men upstairs were going to Dongfeng Tower to get some wine.
Shopkeeper Yu didn't want to appear clueless in front of the waiters, so he just nodded and said:
"I understand. Just go back upstairs and take good care of me. Don't make any mistakes and you will be worthy of me."
Turning around, Mr. Yuan, who was in charge of accounting, also said:
"Shopkeeper, these days, our business has been taken away a lot by Dongfeng Tower over there, and it's all about the wine. We can't let them bring Dongfeng Tower's wine into our place."
Shopkeeper Yu chewed his teeth and shook his head:
"There is one person in the private room upstairs, which one do you think I can afford to offend?"
He tilted his head and thought for a while, then put his hands in his hands and said:
"Come on, I want to see how good the shabby soju he drinks only after a long time can be."
.
Not long after, I saw Xing'er going upstairs carrying a wine jar. Yu, the shopkeeper, was unhappy and Mr. Gen Yuan curled his lips:
"Did you see that? You can tell by the weight. There is at least half a jar of wine in that jar. Otherwise, the little boy can carry it by himself?
It has long been said that Mr. Lian is a henpecked person and he is very lively. Let’s invite such a large group of people and drink half a jar of wine. Let’s see how this idea works out!”
While he was talking, he was unwilling to give in, so he personally took a plate of hot hand towels, and while they were being sent upstairs, he quickly went to take a look at the excitement.
Just listen to what Xing'er said in the elegant room:
"It snowed today, and the roads were difficult to walk on. I didn't dare to load more carriages. I only delivered them once, and they were all sold out before half a day.
This half jar was still small, so I rushed into Shopkeeper Chun's house and rummaged up and down to find it.
This old boy, taking advantage of the snow today, originally planned to save it for himself to drink at night."
Xie Qianli was not polite. He opened it and took a deep sniff:
"Good wine! It is indeed the 'fragrance of breaking the altar'."
He threw a piece of silver towards Xing'er: "Good boy! This is what I reward you for your second master."
Immediately, everyone was heard praising it, saying that it was more fragrant and rich than the wine they drank last time.
Shopkeeper Yu was about to go into the house with a towel and plate to take a look, when he smelled a long and fragrant aroma of wine coming from the crack in the door, and he was suddenly fascinated.
If it weren't for the reminder from the waiter who came to serve the food later, the shopkeeper Yu wouldn't have known that the hot towel on the plate had gotten cold.
As the aroma of wine wafted down from upstairs, from time to time a diner would call the waiter over and ask what kind of wine they were drinking upstairs, and it was so fragrant.
The guys had no choice but to come over and ask shopkeeper Yu. Shopkeeper Yu was like a defeated rooster, standing aside in a daze with his head drooped. In the end, he could only wave his hand: "Just say I don't know."
This was not a clever answer, because soon the other guests knew that the princes and grandsons in the private room upstairs were drinking the most exquisite wine from Dongfeng Tower's "Broken Altar Fragrance", and they were all envious of it.
Shopkeeper Yu was so devastated that he repeatedly lamented to Mr. Yuan, who was in charge of the accounts:
"If I had that wine in my hand, I don't know how prosperous our business would be."
Mr. Yuan tilted his head and thought for a long time before saying:
"It's not impossible. It just depends on whether the shopkeeper dares to do it."
Shopkeeper Yu didn’t even raise his head:
"I don't dare to rob, and I don't know how to steal alcohol. What else can I do?"
Mr. Yuan remained silent again.
Seven or eight more dishes had been served upstairs, and shopkeeper Yu finally couldn't hold it any longer and had to ask:
"Tell me, Lao Yuan, if you don't tell me, I can't guess."
Mr. Yuan then put his mouth to the shopkeeper's ear, covered it with both hands, and whispered:
"Let the old shopkeeper go out and find someone from the Zhongshun Prince's Palace..."
.
How could half a jar of wine withstand these dozen or so people? It didn’t take long for them to see the bottom.
Everyone was still unfinished and scolded Jia Lian for being stingy. Jia Lian had no choice but to raise his hands and make a wish again and again, that he would entertain guests in the Dongfeng Tower and drink enough wine before giving up.
.
The banquet ended and everyone dispersed. Only Xie Qianli patted Jia Lian on the back:
"Don't get on the horse yet! We brothers still need to talk about your martial arts training for me."
Everyone looked at Jia Lian's unwillingness when he was taken away by Xie Qianli, and couldn't stop laughing.
After walking around the corner, Xie Qianli whispered:
"Yongbi, your risky move today is really risky!
The deputy guerrilla from the Jingying Camp came back and told me that the Habayashi Guards had mobilized troops from the Jingying Camp. Although he was not sure what was going on in the end, he just told me to wait at Gangziling.
Think about it, isn’t that place just a stone’s throw away from Tieksuan Temple?
When I found out about this and chased you to your house, you asked the emperor to take you away, which made me anxious.
Also, I heard that Prince Zhongshun had a hand in this fatal matter."
Jia Lian patted Xie Qianli on the shoulder:
"With the heart of a good brother, I will die without regrets."
Xie Qianli spat:
“Bah, bah, bah! I don’t know what’s a taboo!
Damn you! You still owe me a hundred and eighty years of good wine!"
.
When Jia Lian returned to the house, it was already past the second watch.
After entering the hospital, I heard the voices of female relatives in the main room and stopped quickly.
But the little girl at the door of the house had already announced: "Second Master Lian is back." Then she closed the curtain.
(King Zhongshun: Wow hahahaha, this king is finally here!!!
