A knife in love

Chapter 2389
Wu Xiucai made up his mind and felt at ease.I just heard Mother Li chuckle, and said: "Mr. Bai, are you not afraid of insulting your own identity when you are so disgusted with the old woman? You are a disciple of Confucius and Mencius, and a well-educated Confucian who has read great books. The old woman is an illiterate , An ignorant, stupid old woman. Even if the old woman has offended the old woman in the past, as the saying goes, the adults don’t count the faults of the villains, and the prime minister can hold a boat in his belly, so what’s the point of Mr. Bai forgiving the old woman again?"

Seeing Li's mother talking to him in such a low voice, Bai Wei's anger dissipated a lot.He glanced at Li's mother, and said in a deep voice: "You have ruined Bai's good things many times before. It is absolutely impossible to say that Bai has no grudges in his heart. But today, seeing that you speak with sincerity, Bai will I don't care about you. Mr. Wu is Bai's guest, so I don't need to worry about Li's mother. Bai didn't want to bring him to the banquet, but he was afraid that Li's mother had other plans, so he insisted on bringing him. Come to bother me. After tonight, Mr. Wu will rush back to Luoyang. Bai will send him out of Xishan, Mama Li can rest assured."

Wu Xiucai heard Bai Wei speak like this, and thought to himself, the two people's words are so strange.Obviously it was the two of them who made a mess, but they mentioned me inside and outside the words.Presumably, although these two people are afraid of each other, they don't intend to openly turn their faces, so they use me to speak.These hermits have lived in the mountains for a long time, and they seldom interact with outsiders, and their tempers have become extremely weird, but it is not a rare thing.

When Wu Xiucai was thinking about it, she heard Li's mother giggle and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Bai. Mr. Wu is your distinguished guest, and the old lady will never snatch him into the mansion. Hehe, hehe."

Mother Li glanced at Wu Xiucai while speaking.Wu Xiucai saw that she had a strange expression on her face, as if she could pounce on him at any time, and heard her speak frivolously, he was frightened and annoyed at the same time.He has studied since he was a child, and the Wu family is a rich family, so he naturally knows etiquette and shame. Seeing Li's mother like this now, he feels extremely disgusted in his heart.He just thought that he escaped here after a poor journey, and he couldn't offend Bai Wei, and now he was at Mama Li's house, so naturally he couldn't turn his back on Mama Li, so he suppressed the anger in his heart, bowed his head and remained silent.

At this moment, only the sound of footsteps could be heard, but Qingmei walked in quickly.She was holding a square plate in her left hand, and there was a wine jug on the plate. It was about a foot away from the table, and the aroma of the wine had already wafted over.Although Wu Xiucai is not addicted to alcohol, he knows a thing or two about wine.Smelling the aroma of the wine at this moment, he was taken aback, thinking to himself that the aroma of the wine was so clear, it must be an old wine.Unexpectedly, in the old house in the deep mountains, there can be such fine wine, which is really surprising.

Qing Mei walked to the table, put the square plate on the table, then picked up the jug, filled the wine glasses of Bai Wei, Wu Xiucai and Mama Li, and then quietly stepped aside.Mother Li picked up the wine glass and said with a smile: "Come on, let's stop talking. The old lady borrowed this glass of sake, not only to welcome Mr. Wu, but also to apologize to Mr. Bai. If Mr. Bai no longer has any worries, please drink this cup."

After Li's mother finished speaking, she brought the cup to her lips and drank it down, then turned the cup over, and there was no more drop of wine in the cup.Mother Li smiled and said: "The old lady will do her best first, and you two gentlemen, please drink the wine in the glass."

After seeing Li's mother finished speaking, Bai Wei looked at himself with a smile, his eyes were quite playful, and he was angry. He immediately raised his eyebrows, sneered, and said in his mouth: "Li mother, what did you take out?" This pot of wine cost a lot of money. I wonder if Fourth Uncle Hu sold it to you, or Hou San made it specially for you?"

Wu Xiucai smelled the aroma of wine just now, and knew that this jug of wine was of high-quality wine, and was thinking of drinking a few cups, but he didn't expect Bai Wei to speak in such a rude tone.He had no choice but to put the wine glass on the table and didn't drink, thinking to himself, this Mr. Bai is against Li's mother everywhere, and he doesn't know what his plan is.Mother Li mentioned a brother Xiong earlier, and now Bai Wei mentioned Uncle Hu and San Hou again.According to the meaning of the two people's words, these people are all living near the left, are they the masters who lived in seclusion here as Bai Wei said earlier?
Mother Li saw that Bai Wei's face was not very good-looking, but she didn't care.She smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Bai, you are completely wrong. This jug of wine was not sold to the old woman by Uncle Hu, nor was it brewed by Hou San for the old woman. Back then, the old woman was not tolerated by her parents and brothers, so she had to leave her hometown. , came here. At that time, in the luggage that the old woman carried with her, there was a jar of fine wine. It was obtained by the old woman's husband from a death row prisoner when he was serving as a prisoner in Luzhou. He was not willing to drink it himself. Later, he was framed by an adulterer and killed in a prison. The old woman had to escape from Luzhou City, and she brought this altar of fine wine with her as a way of thinking about her husband. If it weren't for Mr. Bai and Mr. Wu is here, the old woman will definitely not bring out this altar of wine to entertain guests."

When Li's mother said this, she paused for a while, turned her head to look at Wu Xiucai, and said in her mouth: "Mr. Wu, you are welcome, just drink the wine in the glass."

Wu Xiucai was getting impatient for a long time, so he listened to Mama Li's persuasion to drink, and immediately picked up the wine glass with both hands, thinking of thanking Mama Li, he was going to drink the wine in one gulp, but Bai Wei sneered She said: "Mother Li, if Bai came here alone, Mother Li would not take out this jar of wine for Bai to taste. You are right, this jar of wine is for Wu Xiucai. But Wu Xiucai will return it tomorrow morning. If he wants to hurry, if he gets drunk, I'm afraid it will delay his trip. Therefore, he should not drink this glass of wine, and Bai will do it for him."

After Bai Wei finished speaking, he grabbed the wine glass in front of Wu Xiucai without saying a word, brought it to his mouth and drank it down.After he put down the wine glass, he glanced at Li's mother and said, "Good wine! Good wine! If Li's mother is not stingy, Bai wants to drink a few more glasses."

Li's mother saw that Bai Wei snatched Wu Xiucai's wine and drank it, and her face immediately became ugly.After listening to Bai Wei's words, Li's mother raised her eyebrows, staring at Bai Wei's eyes like lightning.Bai Wei didn't care, and glanced at Li's mother, with a sarcastic smile on his face.

Wu Xiucai didn't expect that Bai Wei would snatch his wine glass and drink it up in one gulp. He was quite unhappy, thinking to himself that if you are greedy for wine, you can buy it yourself. Why are you so rude and snatched my wine away? go?This jug of fine wine is very valuable, I'm afraid I will have the chance to taste it again in the future.What a pity, what a pity!

Mother Li forced a smile, and said: "The old woman has nothing else here, and there are still a few jars of wine. Since Mr. Bai will not give up, the old woman will take out all the fine wines in the mansion today, and invite Mr. Bai to taste it." It's just that if Mr. Bai gets drunk, if something goes wrong, don't blame the old lady for not reminding him in advance."
