At this point in the conversation, Xia Shang gradually felt that something was not right.
The third uncle came today not just to meet his niece, but also to use his influence in the capital to help him fight for power with the Qin family.
Xia Shang himself still had a lot of unresolved issues, and now suddenly a third uncle wanted to intervene in the Qin family's affairs, which made Xia Shang feel very embarrassed.
This is considered a big deal, so I refuse it directly. It seems that the matter is within my ability, so I agree immediately, but I feel that this matter is not as simple as it seems on the surface.
Xia Shang thought for a moment and suddenly had an idea. He smiled shyly and said, "Third uncle, this matter... I'm afraid..."
"Afraid of what? With such a win-win situation, why should you hesitate?"
"I really don't dare to agree to Third Uncle directly."
"Don't dare agree? What do you mean?"
Xia Shang's expression became even more shy and hesitant: "This... to be honest, my son-in-law can't make the decision at home for such a big matter, and it concerns the Qin family, so it would be better for my third uncle to talk to Huairou."
.As long as Huairou agrees, there will be no problem on my son-in-law's side."
"..." Qin Zhengtian was stunned. He didn't understand the meaning of Xia Shang's words for a while. It took him a long time to realize, "You... you are..."
Xia Shang blushed and lowered his head: "My son-in-law is henpecked. If I don't have my wife's nod on any major matter, I won't dare to make the decision privately."
"What? You, a grown man, are actually henpecked?" Qin Zhengtian looked incredulous, "I heard that you are a famous figure in the capital, and you are not afraid of anything..."
"Perhaps this is one thing that brings down another... The matter is very important, and I really need Madam to nod."
Qin Zhengtian was sweating profusely: "That's right. Huairou's temperament is as strong as her father's. It's understandable that you are afraid of her. It's just... Hey, if I had known better, I wouldn't have told you so much. I would have made it clear to Huairou directly before.
That's fine. Then go and call Huairou back."
Xia Shang nodded quickly and slipped out of the room as if he was fleeing.
As soon as I went out, I found Xiaoyue guarding the door.
"Master, someone is coming."
"Someone? Who?"
Xiaoyue frowned: "What's that spring?"
"Chun Jiao?"
"right."
"Chunjiao is back!" Xia Shang's eyes lit up and he was very surprised. He knew that according to Chunjiao's ability, nothing should happen.
What problem.
'Where is Madam?'
"Madam is in the backyard, tell her and Uncle Third is looking for her."
"oh."
Xiaoyue left in response, and Xia Shang walked quickly to the living room. The thing he wanted to know most now was the situation on Chunjiao's side. Since Chunjiao was back on her own, it would definitely be the best result.
Xia Shang and Xiao Yue were not far from the door. Qin Zhengtian in the room could hear clearly. He watched Xia Shang leave from the window and felt a lot relieved.
Qin Zhengtian was a little suspicious. He didn't know whether Xia Shang's words were true or false. If he used this as an excuse to let his niece refuse his arrangement, then there was really nothing to say. After all, this was a matter related to the Qin family. The Qin family had discussed it themselves.
There is nothing to say about different opinions.
Qin Zhengtian was afraid that Xia Shang would contact Qin Huairou beforehand and told Qin Huairou not to agree to his arrangement.
Now that Xia Shang has not contacted Qin Huairou in advance, Qin Zhengtian will naturally know Qin Huairou's true thoughts later. As long as it is Qin Huairou's true thoughts, Qin Zhengtian believes that with his understanding of Qin Huairou, he can make his niece agree to his
The arrangement should be simple.
Thinking of this, Qin Zhengtian relaxed and leaned on the recliner, waiting for his niece to come back.
After waiting for only a few minutes, the door reopened.
Qin Huairou came into the house with a jug of wine.
As soon as he entered the room, Qin Zhengtian's spirit was shaken. He immediately sat up straight on the recliner, and then stared at the wine bottle in Qin Huairou's hand with a suspicious look on his face. Before he knew it, his saliva was almost flowing out.
"Huairou, this... what kind of wine is this?"
Qin Huairou did not answer immediately. She turned around and glanced at Xiaoyue behind her, signaling her to pour wine for her third uncle.
Xiaoyue saw that Qin Zhengtian looked a little scared, lowered her head, and timidly came to the table, put down the wine glass, poured a glass of wine from the jug in an even and steady manner, and quickly retreated behind Qin Huairou.
Qin Zhengtian didn't even look at the little maid who poured him wine, his eyes almost fell into the wine glass.
Looking at the clear wine in front of me, which is now exuding a rich fragrance that is completely different from the color, I can hardly describe the excitement on my face.
Qin Huairou looked at Third Uncle's appearance and raised the corners of her mouth: "What? Third Uncle has never drank?"
At this moment, Qin Zhengtian completely forgot about his initial thoughts. After looking at it for a few times, he drank the wine in the glass in one gulp like an angry bull.
I thought this small cup
The drink was not even enough to hold between his teeth, but he never thought that this sudden sip would be accompanied by an extremely violent burning sensation, which made his old face turn red.
"Cough cough cough..."
"Third uncle!" Qin Huairou saw that he was coughing non-stop and looked extremely embarrassed, so he quickly went up to help him.
Qin Zhengtian coughed for a while and gradually recovered.
Qin Huairou explained helplessly: "Third uncle, this wine is not comparable to other wines, and you can't drink it like this."
"Ahem..." Qin Zhengtian coughed a few more times and couldn't help but praise, "It's so strong!"
"Although the wine is a bit strong, does the taste of the wine still suit Third Uncle's appetite?"
After listening, Qin Zhengtian pursed his lips, half-squinted his eyes, and carefully thought about the taste just now. He was silent for a long time, but he couldn't think of an appropriate word. He stamped his feet anxiously, and only said "Okay"
"Character.
Qin Huairou knew that her third uncle was addicted to alcohol, so she felt a little proud when she saw his expression. She gave Xiaoyue another look and asked her to fill her third uncle's glass.
Qin Zhengtian said nothing and took another sip. This time he had experience and did not take it into his stomach in one gulp, but left it in his mouth to savor it, and then it flowed into his abdominal cavity bit by bit.
For a moment, Qin Zhengtian felt like he was floating up to the sky, his hands were shaking with excitement, and he shouted the word "good" again.
Next, Qin Zhengtian didn't say anything. He held the jug and blew it to his mouth, sometimes savoring it carefully, sometimes drinking it quickly. In an instant, only half the jug was left, and Qin Zhengtian's face also showed a bit of drunkenness.
"What a wine!" Qin Zhengtian sighed, "How come such a small pot makes me feel a little drunk?"
"This is Wuliangye, which takes the essence of five grains and is unmatched by worldly rice wine and rice wine."
"Wuliangye...I have never heard of it in the New Taipei Army."
"Don't worry, as long as Third Uncle likes it, no matter how much, Huairou can prepare it for Third Uncle."
"This wine is extraordinary. It must be very precious, right?"
"Although it is precious, it is produced by our own family. Even if no one in the world can drink it, I will leave a sip for my third uncle."
"What? Produced by our family?"
"Third Uncle has not been involved in worldly affairs for a long time. You don't know that Wuliangye is the property of the Xia family, right? The title of the best brewer in the world did not come out of thin air. My niece knows that Third Uncle likes wine, so why not let the shop know immediately?
The best Wuliangye has been prepared and delivered. In addition to this pot, there is also a whole jar outside, so Uncle San can drink it slowly."
