Shi Zhijian and Li Yaozu were having a long chat in the study. There were several side dishes in front of them, including sweet and sour radish, cold fungus, chopped green onion tofu, and cold preserved eggs, all of which were homemade cold dishes.
That pot of Huadiao wine is good stuff. It reflects amber color when poured into the cup and smells mellow and long-lasting.
This wine tastes very good, astringent with bitterness, bitterness with sweetness, and a sour taste.
Unknowingly, Shi Zhijian no longer knew how many drinks he had drank.
"Ajian, is it okay if I call you this?" Li Yaozu wiped his mouth with a napkin and asked Shi Zhijian with a smile.
"Of course it's no problem. You are an elder. It's very nice of you to call me Ajian!"
"That's good!" Li Yaozu said with a smile, "Now that you are a famous person, you are no longer the little accountant of our Li's Shipping Company. Drinking with you is considered a high ranking."
"Li Sheng's words really hurt me!" Shi Zhijian waved his hand and said, "I only have a false reputation."
"False names? Haha, the third-ranking earl of the British Empire, the first Chinese member of Parliament in Hong Kong, the president of Shinhwa Group, the chairman of the Bangkok Chinese Chamber of Commerce... are all false names? Ajian, as a human being, being too humble is hypocrisy!" Li Yaozu
As he spoke, he raised his wine glass and raised it to Shi Zhijian.
Reluctantly, Shi Zhijian had no choice but to pick up the wine glass and stay with him until the end.
I drank three glasses of wine in one go.
Shi Zhijian felt that the alcohol seemed to be getting stronger and his head was a little dizzy, so when Li Yaozu toasted again, Shi Zhijian had to wave his hands and refuse: "No, Li Sheng, my ability to drink is limited, I really can't hold it in!"
Li Yaozu pretended to be angry and said: "Why, you don't give me face, or do you still think that I am old and not worthy of a few more drinks?"
"Don't get me wrong, I never meant this."
"What do you mean if you don't mean this? If you feel innocent, just drink this glass of wine!"
"I..." Shi Zhijian hesitated for a moment, "Okay!" He had no choice but to raise his glass again and clink it with Li Yaozu, and drank the wine in one gulp.
"Good! That's easy enough!" Li Yaozu praised, "Come on, our good deeds come in pairs! Yes, my drinking capacity is really good, better than when I was young! If we have one more, the three Yangs will be prosperous, the four seasons will be safe, and the five blessings will come.
On the doorstep, there will be great success in six and six years, the seven stars will shine brightly, wealth will come from all directions, and the nine suns will prosper, everything will be perfect!"
Shi Zhijian felt dizzy. He really didn't know how many drinks he had drank this time, and his head was extremely dizzy.
Seeing that the time was right, Li Yaozu poured another glass of wine for Shi Zhijian.
Shi Zhijian hurriedly covered the wine glass with his hand and said: "No...I really can't do it this time! Old man, I'm convinced. You have a great drinking capacity, but I can't compete with you!"
"Hahaha!" Li Yaozu laughed and said, "You are right this time! When I was young, I was known as the little prince of the dance hall who could never get drunk after a thousand cups. At that time, many beautiful girls took the initiative to pursue me... You know what I said, at that time
I'm married to Seolhyun, and she doesn't even know that I often go out and fool around! Women are so stupid when they love you, and she will believe whatever you say..."
Although Shi Zhijian was drunk, he also knew that when a man even told such secrets to outsiders, the other party would never be sober. It seemed that Li Yaozu also fainted.
"You're right, you're right! The little prince who won't get drunk after a thousand cups of wine!" Shi Zhijian shook his body and stood up, "Then, your highness, the little prince, I can't drink any more, and I have to excuse you!"
After speaking, Shi Zhijian breathed out a breath of alcohol, "I'll go back first! As for you, you should also go to bed early! You're getting older, so it's best not to stay up late!"
Li Yaozu laughed and stood up: "Why are we walking? Look at what time it is. It's eleven o'clock. What are you doing back? Why don't you stay here?"
"It's better not to..."
Before Shi Zhijian could finish speaking, Li Yaozu put his arm around his shoulders: "Why, do you dislike my small place? It can't accommodate a giant Buddha like yours?"
"No, I mean..."
"What do you mean? Then you are dissatisfied with my poor hospitality! Yes, that must be the case!" Li Yaozu said.
Shi Zhijian couldn't laugh or cry, "It's nothing!"
"That's good!" Li Yaozu patted Shi Zhijian on the shoulder, "I have many guest rooms here, you can choose as you like! There are servants waiting in the middle of the night to help you pour tea and water!"
Shi Zhijian wanted to refuse, but Li Yaozu said: "Here, Mr. Fu Shi, go to the guest room to rest!"
Immediately the study door opened, and the old housekeeper came in. He bowed to Shi Zhijian before saying, "Mr. Shi, let me help you!"
Shi Zhijian waved his hand but was eventually helped out of the study.
After Shi Zhijian left, Li Yaozu let out a satisfied belch. His body was a little shaky, and he stretched out his hand to support the wall: "Pu, my mother, you are really old, and you can't bear to drink so much wine!
It takes a few bowls of sobering soup!”
…
The old housekeeper followed Li Yaozu's instructions and arranged Shi Zhijian in the best guest room.
The large guest room is like a standard room in a hotel, with white sheets and yellow wooden leather floors, which is extremely elegant, quiet and clean.
Despite being drunk, Shi Zhijian took a bath in a daze, took off his clothes, and went to bed.
Although he was resting at the Li family, Shi Zhijian was not worried about his own safety at all. After all, the Li family was considered a big family in Bangkok, with complete security facilities. There were several large searchlights in the garden of the villa alone, and the security guards were constantly patrolling back and forth with wolf dogs.
, this place is much safer than a real hotel.
The old housekeeper asked someone to prepare a silk nightgown for Shi Zhijian. This kind of silk nightgown would have been smooth, delicate and comfortable to wear, but Shi Zhijian felt very uncomfortable wearing it at this time, especially since he was so hot all over.
The nightgown seemed to be airtight and made him feel uncomfortable.
Shi Zhijian thought that no one would come, so he cruelly took off his nightgown, threw it aside, and then fell down on the bed! The big bed was quite comfortable, and the mattress was soft and elastic!
Shi Zhijian felt relaxed all over, so he pulled the towel over himself and slowly closed his eyes while feeling drunk.
I don't know how long it took.
There was a "crunch" sound.
Dimly, I heard the door being opened from the outside, followed by the sound of slight footsteps.
Shi Zhijian slowly opened his eyes, only to see Li Xuexuan standing at the head of the bed, her charming big eyes flickering, looking at him quietly.
Shi Zhijian thought he was dreaming, so he closed his eyes and opened them again.
It’s not a dream, there really is such a person in front of me!
Shi Zhijian suddenly woke up, hurriedly sat up from the bed, pulled the towel and covered himself - he was only wearing a pair of underwear now!
In the past, Shi Zhijian would not have been so embarrassed. After all, he and Li Xuexuan were not "outsiders". Everything that should have happened had happened, and they knew each other well.
But the problem now is with the Li family! If something happens, if something happens and the old man Li Yaozu misunderstands it, Shi Zhijian won't be able to explain it clearly even if he has ten mouths.
"Seolhyun, why are you here?"
"Why can't I be here?"
"No, this is my room, but you..."
"I just came to see you." Li Xuexuan walked to Shi Zhijian and leaned down.
Shi Zhijian smelled a faint fragrance on the tip of his nose, which made him uncontrollably distracted.
"I'm afraid you won't feel comfortable sleeping here, so I came to see you!"
"I'm fine, you don't have to worry." Shi Zhijian tightened the quilt again.
"What are you afraid of?" Li Xuexuan looked at him, her pretty face glowing, "I'm not even afraid."
"Of course you're not afraid, this is your home!" Shi Zhijian shrank back.
Li Xuexuan said coquettishly: "You are so funny like this!"
"Really? It would be even funnier if you came closer!"
"You think I don't dare?" Li Xuexuan smiled and pressed forward.
Shi Zhijian hurriedly shrank back: "Hey, that's enough! I'm a man!"
"Of course I know you are a man!" Li Xuexuan smiled and nestled her head into Shi Zhijian's arms, "Not only do I know, I also know very well that you are a man!"
"Hey, you've gone too far!" Shi Zhijian scolded, "You just said, don't touch me!"
"Is this guy going to touch you?"
"Still saying no?" Shi Zhijian took out Li Xuexuan's little hand from the quilt, "What is this?"
Li Xuexuan chuckled: "Why are you holding my hand?"
Shi Zhijian rolled his eyes: "If it hadn't sneaked into my bed, I wouldn't have caught it!"
"Then what are you going to do if you catch it?" Li Xuexuan's voice was sweet and greasy, and her eyes were so charming!
After all, Shi Zhijian is a normal man: "Of course his master must be punished on the spot!"
Just when Shi Zhijian was about to pounce and take action, there was a snap and the room lights were turned on.
"What are you two...doing?" Li Yaozu suddenly appeared in front of the two of them, glaring at them with a look of shock and anger on his face.
Shi Zhijian was stunned and felt ashamed for the first time!
Li Xuexuan: "Ah, Abba? Why are you... so embarrassing!" After saying that, he stood up and ran out without caring about Shi Zhijian!
The problem is, when she got up, she pulled Shi Zhijian's quilt with her hand, whether intentionally or unintentionally!
Shi Zhijian quickly hugged the quilt. Even so, Li Yaozu's eyes turned white and he sighed: "This kid has fair skin and good flesh!"
Seeing Li Xuexuan leaving and Li Yaozu staring at him, Shi Zhijian knew that he was completely screwed now!
"Mr. Li, please listen to my explanation——"
"What's the explanation?" Li Yaozu said angrily, "I treat you as a guest, but you treat me as a fool! You did such a thing in the middle of the night!"
Shi Zhijian hugged the quilt and said aggrievedly: "I said it was your daughter who got in. Do you believe it or not?"
"What do you think?"
"Look at your tone of voice, you don't believe it!"
"You still have to ask?"
"Then my explanation is that I drank too much and was a little dazed and couldn't help myself. Is this an acceptable explanation?"
"What do you think?" Li Yaozu said angrily, "I entertain you so much, but you... how can you really be unreasonable! Before that, I introduced my daughter to you and asked you to marry her as your first wife, but you refused in every possible way, and this
Then again, saying that I want to report to your sister, I have to ask your three wives to agree. Huh, these are all excuses! At that time, I thought you were a gentleman, but now you secretly do such a scandal, you let me
What do I think of you? How can you save the face of our Li family?!"
Faced with Li Yaozu's righteous question, Shi Zhijian was speechless.
"Why don't you speak? Do you think it's enough to keep quiet? I can let you go?" Li Yaozu said sharply.
Shi Zhijian shrugged: "It's not that I don't want to speak, it's because I know that no matter what I say, it's wrong! Yes, it's all my fault. I admit my mistake to you and am willing to accept the punishment! Whatever you say, I will do it.
manage?"
Li Yaozu raised his eyebrows: "What tone are you using when talking to me? Do you mean I'm plotting against you?"
"No! I just-" Shi Zhijian gritted his teeth: "I'm so ashamed!"
"Since you know how to be ashamed, it means you can still be saved!" Li Yaozu said, "As a senior, I don't want you to be ruined, let alone my daughter's innocence..."
Before Li Yaozu could finish his words, Shi Zhijian said: "I will marry her!"
Li Yaozu was stunned for a moment, "Okay!" Then he pointed at Shi Zhijian's nose and said, "A man's words are hard to follow!"
Shi Zhijian nodded: "Don't say it's hard to catch up with a four-horse horse. Even if you have eight horses, ten horses, or a hundred horses, you can't catch up! I, Shi Zhijian, will definitely honor what I promised!"
Hearing this, Li Yaozu waved his hand: "Okay! Go to sleep!"
Shi Zhijian was speechless when he saw Li Yaozu being so happy.
Li Yaozu didn't care what Shi Zhijian thought. Before leaving, he didn't forget to care about his future uncle: "Would you like to turn off the lights for you?"
"No!" Shi Zhijian said, "It's too dark, I'm afraid someone will trick me!"
…
Shi Zhijian didn't know how he struggled to fall asleep last night, or maybe he didn't fall asleep at all.
It was not until dawn that Shi Zhijian got up from the bed with dark circles under his eyes. After washing, he dressed neatly and went downstairs.
Going down the stairs, just as he was about to find a reason to say goodbye to Li Yaozu, Shi Zhijian heard the servants of the Li family saying hello to him in unison: "Good morning, uncle!"
Shi Zhijian staggered and almost fell down the stairs.
Look at the servants, male and female, all standing in a row, like soldiers about to be reviewed, with their chests and belly raised, looking at Shi Zhijian.
Father and daughter Li Yaozu and Li Xuexuan stood at the restaurant, all smiling, waiting for Shi Zhijian to have breakfast together.
Shi Zhijian had seen countless big scenes, but the scene in front of him was the only one that made his scalp numb.
"Congratulations to my uncle for dinner!"
The servants shouted collectively to Shi Zhijian again.
Shi Zhijian forced a smile and went downstairs bravely.
"Hello, uncle!"
"Good morning, uncle!"
The servants all stared at him intently and greeted him politely.
Shi Zhijian smiled and nodded at them.
When the servants saw that Shi Zhijian was such a gentleman and polite, they couldn't help but whisper: "My uncle is so handsome!"
"Yes, my uncle is not only handsome, but also has a first-class temperament!"
"Our lady is so lucky!"
"Yes, this is a great blessing for the Li family!"
Finally, Shi Zhijian came to Li Yaozu's grandfather and daughter. Li Yaozu had his hands behind his back and a smile on his face.
Li Xuexuan's charming and pretty face has a hint of shame.
Shi Zhijian opened his mouth, and it took him a long time to say: "Hello!"
Li Yaozu was unhappy, "What do you call you? What should you call me?"
"Lee, Mr. Lee!"
"Are you going to tell me again?" Li Yaozu turned black again.
Shi Zhijian had to grit his teeth and said: "Father-in-law!"
"Hey! That's right!" Li Yaozu was filled with joy, "Well, from now on you will be my good son-in-law! Now that you have entered the door of our Li family, I will definitely treat you well! If anyone displeases you, I will
Just fix him!”
Shi Zhijian felt strange after hearing this, making him feel like a "brother-in-law".
"Come on, let's sit down and eat quickly! I heard Seol-hyun said that you like to eat oysters the most, so I specially asked someone to make a double portion to replenish your health!"
Shi Zhijian sat down and breakfast was quickly served. Sure enough, there were double portions of oysters!
If I eat oysters early in the morning, am I that weak? Besides, I didn’t use them last night!
Shi Zhijian patiently ate a few side dishes with the Li family and his daughter, and drank a few mouthfuls of preserved egg and lean meat porridge————
Li Yaozu saw that he was eating porridge without eating vegetables, so he gave Shi Zhijian some vegetables and said: "Eat more vegetables! Also, you have to cheer up later -"
"What to do?" Shi Zhijian took a sip of porridge and raised his head.
"Oh, I've invited reporters to hold a press conference in front of our house later!"
"reception?"
"Yes, announcing your and Seolhyun's wedding!"
"Pfft!" Shi Zhijian spat out a mouthful of porridge.
