I really don't want to take shortcuts anymore

Zhu Niang did not show up, but sent two waiters to deliver some dishes and snacks, saying that they were to calm Luo Qianhuai's shock, and she posted a message asking her to go to Mingyue Tower in the evening.

Luo Qianhuai was a little surprised when both of them invited her out, but it was Yan Shu who helped her figure it out.

It turns out today is the winter solstice. The Winter Solstice is as big as the New Year, and it is an important time of the year when the yin and yang alternate. Therefore, it is also one of the four seasons and eight festivals. Ordinary families will eat dumplings to celebrate the winter, and it is extremely normal for the rich to celebrate and feast.

Therefore, Mingyue Tower must be very lively tonight. Luo Qianhuai also hoped that Huo Yu could help his uncle clear his grievances, so he would not refuse such an invitation. As for the private room Zhu Niang had prepared for her, Luo Qianhuai was not prepared to waste it.

Yan Shu and Yan Ning were very happy when they heard that they could go to Mingyue Tower to have dinner and enjoy singing and dancing in the evening. No matter how mature Yan Shu pretends to be, he is still a ten-year-old child and cannot suppress his joy at all.

Luo Qianhuai was troubled by the clothes Bai Ming sent. The clothes are not cheap at first glance. The double-breasted jacket on the upper body is made of extremely precious Liuguang brocade. The silver base is woven with gold threads and is covered with plum blossom patterns. Below it is a rose-colored long skirt with gold threads, which shines brilliantly in the sunlight.

I think if I go out wearing this outfit, I will definitely become the center of attention.

In addition, there is a complete set of gold and jade head and face jewelry. One of them is a rose crystal with a begonia butterfly wing. It is particularly exquisitely made. Even Luo Qianhuai couldn't help but pick it up and play with it for a while.

At the end of the application period, Luo Qianhuai changed into a set of men's clothes and was about to go out when Xingjiu came back.

Her face was pale and there was sweat on her forehead, and she didn't know what kind of punishment she had received.

Luo Qianhuai quickly helped her into the house, but Xingjiu refused to let her check the injury, and forced himself to kneel down in front of her: "It's great that the lady is safe. Otherwise, Xingjiu would be Even if you die hundreds of times, you can’t escape the blame.”

This girl's three views of foolishness and loyalty have been established, and there is probably no way to change them.

Luo Qianhuai couldn't resist her, so he had to leave a bottle of the best gold medicine, and then led Yan Shu and the others out.

Huo Yu's identity was placed there, and he was willing to come to Mingyue Tower with the honor. Naturally, Zhu Niang did not dare to neglect it. She left him the Accord in the middle of the second floor. Looking from the window, he could have a panoramic view of the entire stage below the patio. .

But she didn't expect that when the new Changling Order came to Mingyue Tower for a banquet for the first time after taking office, the guest would be Mrs. Luo.

She personally sent Luo Qianhuai to the Accord, and before leaving, she gave her a wink, telling her that she was one of her own people both inside and outside the Accord, so if you need anything, just say hello.

Luo Qianhuai didn't think that Master Huo would do anything to her in public.

He seems to be a very conceited person, and he would probably not do anything that would disgrace his status.

"You're not wearing the clothes I sent to you." Huo Yu looked her up and down, his eyes slightly cold.

"My daughter is just thinking about your honor." Luo Qianhuai had already prepared his words.

"Is it for me, or for Mrs. Luo yourself?" Huo Yu laughed and picked up the wine glass. The pretty female envoy on the side immediately picked up the jade pot and poured a full glass of wine for him and Luo Qianhuai.

Luo Qianhuai raised his glass: "People say it's rare to be confused. Why does Mr. Huo need an answer to everything? How about I use this glass of wine to thank Mr. Huo for letting things go?"

She smiled, covered her sleeves with her hands and drank the glass of wine in one gulp, revealing the empty bottom.

"Let bygones be bygones?" Huo Yu looked at her eyes as bright as stars, with a smile on his face: "I don't care about the past, I just want to say that the future will be bright." As expected, he saw Luo Qianhuai's expression change, Huo Yu Yu smiled and drank the wine in the glass.

"Is this the best wine in your Mingyue Tower?" He suppressed his smile.

"This wine is called Qiandie Cui." The female envoy explained softly: "A few days ago, it was indeed the best wine in the building."

Huo Yu held the small sapphire cup in his hand and said in a cold voice: "The new wine made by Mingyue Tower is as popular as ever. Since I am here today, I naturally want to try the Buxi wine that was commented by Da Nong Ling himself. Impressive."

"Your Majesty, your Majesty." The female envoy showed a little timidity in the face of his exposed pressure, and said with force, "Although that Bu Xian Xian is good, it is not easy to brew. There were more than ten pots of sunrise some time ago. , but it was sold out in one night. I finally made ten more pots today, but it was, but it was."

"But what is it?" Huo Yu said slowly: "I want these ten jugs of wine. If you can't be the master, go find someone who can be the master."

The female envoy immediately went down. Luo Qianhuai raised his eyes to look at Huo Yu, but saw that his expression was as usual, and there was no disturbance caused by what happened just now.

He comes from a noble family, and in his words and deeds, he has the aura of a superior person unconsciously escaping from him. He does not seem to regard buying out these ten jugs of new wine as a big deal.

Luo Qianhuai was not calm. Because she had already guessed that Madam Zhu would auction off the ten jugs of new wine tonight using the method she taught her. The more money this auction brings, the higher her share will be.

If it was forcibly bought by Mr. Huo, how could he ask for a price?

Just as she was about to offer some words of persuasion, Zhu Niang hurried in with someone.

"It's my fault that I'm dissatisfied with Mr. Huo." She held a black jade pot in her hand, had someone change the cups, and poured wine from the pot herself: "This pot is not enviable, the bento is my apology to you. ”

Huo Yu remained silent, only quietly looking at the clear and fragrant wine in the cup, but looking past Zhu Niang to Luo Qianhuai opposite.

He could remain silent, but Zhu Niang could not.

"Sir, this is the new wine made in our shop." She said with a smile to Yan Yan: "It's not just my own. This wine has a mellow aroma. It touches your mouth like the scorching sun in your arms. The aftertaste is sweet and refreshing. After drinking it, you will feel drunk. That’s why the great farmer gave me the name of not envying the immortal, why don’t you give it a try?”

Huo Yu picked up the black jade cup, put it under his nose and took a deep sniff, with a rare strange look in his eyes.

"Sure enough, the taste is pure and elegant. I have never heard of it." He raised his glass and drank it, and after a brief taste, his eyes became darker: "Strong but not astringent, harmonious but not harsh, within a few breaths, the whole body is in harmony. This does not envy the name of an immortal. , but it is well deserved.”

"I thank Master Huo for the compliment." Zhu Niang's beautiful eyes looked at her and said tactfully, "It's just that although this is not Xianxian, it is very easy to intoxicate, so you shouldn't drink too much in your leisure time."

"Furthermore, word has spread about the new wine being sold at Mingyue Tower tonight. There are quite a few dignitaries who are rushing to buy the wine. If you insist on buying all the wine, I am afraid that not only will the store be in trouble, but you will inevitably become the target of public criticism."

Huo Yu's lips curled up, but there was frost in his eyes: "Are you threatening me?"

"Mother Zhu doesn't dare. I just think about you, so I beg you here. If you are willing to sell me tonight, I will give you another nine bottles of wine for free."

The smile on Huo Yu's lips deepened: "It is true that as you said, there are many distinguished guests tonight. As far as I know, several marquises such as Wuninghou and Shouanhou were present in person, as well as the King of Jizhou, the King of Changzhou and many others. All the vassal kings also sent people here. Even the palace heard about the name of this wine and sent people to buy it. Even if I agreed to you, what can you do to satisfy all parties? Return?"
