Chapter 485

Seeing a group of people approaching slowly, the servant at the front said: "Madam, thanks to the help of these strong men, we were able to stop this group of thieves. Now, all the things that were robbed have been taken back, and the culprit has also been arrested." Most of them lived there. But a small part escaped.”

"It's good that you guys are fine." Mu Jiaojiao nodded, and went forward to express his thanks.

When Li Bai and his party came over, they heard the guards explain that this was the carriage of the women of the Cui family in Boling, and they already had some respect in their hearts.Seeing Mu Jiaojiao's brocade clothes, elegant and luxurious, but thanking them so modestly, they couldn't help being excited, and quickly waved their hands and laughed: "Madam Cui is serious. Today is just a coincidence that the few of us are drinking and enjoying the spring near here. Since someone is looting in broad daylight, as a dignified man, why not stand up?"

Li Bai also frowned and said: "At the feet of the Son of Heaven, the heavens and the earth are clear, who is so bold as to dare to attack the female family members of the Cui family in Boling?"

"Who knows? My husband has always acted recklessly, maybe he offended someone in the first place!" Mu Jiaojiao said lightly.

Li Bai is a political idiot, he was a little taken aback when he heard this.On the other hand, Mr. He Erlang clapped his hands and laughed, "I see! Are you Mrs. Cui Liushao? The wife of Cui Pu, the current governor of Guangzhou?"

Mu Jiaojiao nodded. "Exactly."

"That's no wonder!" Mr. He Erlang smiled, "Your husband's temperament is indeed too arrogant. My father said that his temperament is not suitable for an official. However, since he entered the officialdom for more than ten years, he has experienced countless risks. However, he has always been safe and successful, and has repeatedly achieved success, which is really beyond people's expectations. Nowadays, Dad often uses him as an example to teach us, telling us to learn more from him in doing things. It's a good way to do practical things for the common people. However, it's better to keep a low profile when it comes to dealing with people. After all, no one is as lucky as him, and can marry such a capable wife!"

"Mr. He Erlang, are you complimenting me? Then I will be disrespectful." Mu Jiaojiao smiled and nodded.

When the others heard that it was Mu Jiaojiao, they were immediately overwhelmed with excitement, and hurriedly came up to chat with her.

Only Li Bai is still out of the situation.Seeing that the group of people surrounded Mu Jiaojiao suddenly with enthusiasm, he was confused, and quickly pulled He Erlang Jun aside: "Who is this person? Didn't you just meet her?"

"Although we have just met her in person, we have actually been friends with her for a long time. Not only her, but also her husband and son-in-law. Their couple is a legend in the New Tang Dynasty!" He Erlang Jun excitedly He said, "It's that Cui Liu of the Boling Cui family, who caused countless troubles in Yangzhou, and then went to Guangzhou for a year and drove the Wei family back to Chang'an to retire! My father didn't mention it to you. have you been?"

"Oh!" Li Bai suddenly understood, "It turned out to be her! In this way, I have also been friends with them for a long time."

After all, he ran over to talk to Mu Jiaojiao more actively than others.

Because of such a sudden encounter, and being besieged by dead soldiers, the nature of the matter is already very serious.It was impossible for Mu Jiaojiao to let this go, so he ordered people to rest where they were, and then sent people back to Chang'an to report.

After arranging the matter, she said to Li Bai and his party: "Meeting is fate. Today I would like to thank you all for helping us get back the chariots and horses, but we are away now and have nothing else to give you, so we can only invite you Let’s have a meal and say thank you.”

As soon as these words came out, He Erlang-jun and his party began to shine again.

Li Bai was once again abandoned out of the situation.

But this time, there is no need for him to ask any more questions, just listen to He Erlang-jun's enthusiastic voice: "Sweet potatoes from Tianchang County have become very popular in Chang'an these years, and sweet potato wine is sold in many taverns. However, we are listening to Lu Guogong and E Guogong. The people in the house have said that as long as they have tasted the sweet potato wine brewed by you, Mrs. Cui, they will never be able to eat wine from other places! I wonder if we will be honored to have a good time today?"

When I heard that there was wine to drink, it was still good wine!Li Bai immediately became interested, and quickly asked, "Really? Is Mrs. Cui also a good winemaker?"

"It's just that I have nothing to do to make some snacks for my family to entertain myself." Mu Jiaojiao said modestly, "However, this time we set off from Chang'an in a hurry, and we didn't bring sweet potato wine with us. However, we did have a few jars of lychees Wine, if you don't mind, I'll ask someone to move it down."

"Madam Cui, did you brew it yourself?" Mr. He Erlang only cares about this.

"Yes." Mu Jiaojiao nodded.

What she didn't say was that she originally brewed these for the children to drink and play on the road.Most of the wine in the Tang Dynasty had low alcohol content, so it was fine for children to drink it.What she did was to increase the sweetness of the wine. To put it bluntly, it was just a little fruit wine.Give your child a little drink after meals to help with digestion.

Mr. He Erlang and the others didn't know what was going on, and cheered immediately when they heard the words. "As long as it's made by Mrs. Cui yourself!"

Then, they scrambled to help carry the wine.Li Bai ran the fastest and most actively.

Seeing this, Mu Jiaojiao couldn't help laughing.

She thought about it, waved to Huangdou again, and gave her a few low words.

Soybean nodded and turned around immediately.

Not long after, they set up a pot on a flat place at the foot of the mountain and started cooking delicacies.Li Bai and his party held up the wine jar, and they couldn't wait to lift the lid. Suddenly, a strong aroma of wine rushed towards them, making them close their eyes comfortably and take a deep breath.

"Good wine!" Li Bai yelled happily, "Just by smelling it, you can know that this is definitely a rare good wine in the world. We are indeed blessed today!"

Before the food was served, they hurriedly sat on the floor, each holding a wine jar and refusing to let go, for fear of being snatched away.

Mu Jiaojiao couldn't stop laughing at the appearance of this food protector.Quickly ask someone to cut a few plates of cooked food from the car and serve them, and distribute a small bowl to each of them.

"The road is bumpy, and we are women and children, so we don't plan to drink, so there aren't enough glasses, so let's make do with bowls!"

"It's okay, the bowl is better. Swallowing wine and eating meat is the most refreshing thing in the world!" Li Bai laughed loudly, quickly picked up the jar and poured himself a full bowl, and then drank it all in one gulp.

"Good wine! Good wine!"

After drinking a bowl of wine, he became even more intoxicated, and yelled loudly: "I have lived for so many years, and I think I drink the best wine in the world, but I didn't expect to drink the best wine in the world today outside the city of Chang'an." .Compared with it, the ones I drank before have become pot water!"

When the others heard the words, they felt very sad, and quickly began to think for themselves.After all, Li Bai is the one among them who loves drinking the most and who knows how to taste wine the most.He has drunk countless fine wines, but now he expresses such emotions, how can he not make people endlessly curious about the fine wines in front of him?
And when they drank the good wine, they also showed the same intoxication as Li Bai.

"It's really a rare good wine in the world! I understand why Lu Guogong, E Guogong, and Guo Cishi have been following you in Yangzhou for these years, and they follow you wherever you go! It's just for the sake of it. The wine, even me, I will definitely follow you all the time!" said Mr. He Erlang.

Others also nodded in agreement.

Then, everyone didn't even bother to talk nonsense, and quickly lowered their heads and drank.

Soon, another strong and alluring fragrance wafted over, hooking back the consciousness of a group of people who were almost buried their heads in the wine jar.

"What is this? Roasted leg of lamb? But I have eaten roasted leg of lamb, and the aroma is not so strong!" A person asked curiously.

Others also sniffed vigorously. "It must be roast leg of lamb! But why the aroma is so strong, I can't figure it out."

"This is baked with my wife's exclusive secret recipe, and a lot of medicinal materials are added in it. The roasted meat is not only more delicious, but also very good for people's health. Over the years, my husband and my son Mrs. Langjun did not eat less, and all of them are very strong. At the beginning, Guo Cishi and others couldn't put it down, and they would go to the government office every now and then to ask his wife to cook it for them!" Soybean roasted the lamb He brought his legs over and said triumphantly.

When the leg of lamb was delivered to the front, the aroma became more intense, and the golden and crispy appearance made the index finger move and the mouth water.

This group of people couldn't hold back for a moment, and each of them picked up one in a hurry, and started to feast on it.

After a few bites of meat and a bowl of wine, I am really happy.

Mu Jiaojiao sat not far away with the children, seeing this group of people eating so boldly, they felt their appetites widened, and their meals became even more enjoyable.Of course, the eating of the three of them is much more gentle.

However, Li Bai hadn't been happy there for long, and Li Bai stood up: "Why is this wine gone? Mrs. Cui, give us another jar! No, one jar is not enough, another ten jars! I want to get drunk today field!"

"That's right, one jar of wine is not enough, I have to get really drunk today. Otherwise, who knows when I will be able to drink such good wine again after today?"

……

Listening to these people's begging, Huang Dou looked helpless: "We didn't bring much wine this time. The existing ones have been given to you now, and you really have nothing to drink!"

"It's too little, we've just tasted it! Madam Cui, please let us drink some more!" These people knew that the soybeans were not in charge at a glance, and they all said cheekily. Mu Jiaojiao pleaded.

Among them, only the exiled immortal was the most diligent.

"The lychee wine is really gone." Mu Jiaojiao said in a low voice.These people drank all the wine that her children had to drink on the way back, and the children had to endure it on the way!
"There is no lychee wine, other things are fine!" Li Bai said cheekily, "Just now I heard that the wine you use for the servants in the house is actually not bad, it seems to be better than the ones sold in the market. Why don't you just take these Give it to us, we don't choose!"

Really don't pick.He was drunk so much that he didn't even care about the superiority and inferiority, and he was even willing to drink the wine that the servants drank.

It's not that Mu Jiaojiao looked down on Hu San and his party.But this is the case in this world. The aristocratic families strictly abide by the hierarchy system, and few people are willing to surpass it.But obviously, these few people in front of them are special cases.

Of course, so is Cui Pu.

In fact, the wine she prepared for Hu San and the others was not bad, even speaking of higher alcohol content than for Li Bai and the others.After all, these people are tired during the day and must drink some wine to relax at night.

Hearing what they said now, Mu Jiaojiao suddenly smiled: "I have better wine here, do you want to try it?"

"want!"

A group of drunkards yelled in unison.He nodded without even asking what kind of wine it was.

"Okay, Huang Dou, go and get that jar of wine out of my carriage." Mu Jiaojiao said quickly.

Soybean was taken aback when he heard that. "Ma'am, is this okay?"

"I told you to go and get it, so go." Mu Jiaojiao only said.

Soybean bowed her head obediently.

Soon, she brought back a small wine jar.

Seeing this, Li Bai and his party couldn't help but whispered: "That's all? It's not enough for us alone!"

"Whether it's enough to fit between your teeth or not, you'll know when you taste it." Soybean muttered unhappily, not letting them touch the jar, just holding it by himself, and poured half a bowl into their wine bowls.

"Everyone, please!"

Seeing her attitude, everyone was a little curious.Someone hurriedly said: "Then I'll try it, Madam Cui, what does your better wine taste like!"

After finishing speaking, he drank the small half bowl in one gulp.

Then, under everyone's gaze, he suddenly turned red from his face to his neck.Then, he closed his eyes and fell to the ground with a thud.

Everyone was startled, and Mr. He Erlang even jumped up and shouted: "Where's the doctor? Hurry up and invite the doctor!"

"Don't panic, he's just drunk to death. Take some anti-alcohol medicine and sleep well." Mu Jiaojiao said indifferently.

Is that right?

A group of people were skeptical and tried the man's breath carefully, only to find that he was really just drunk.

It wasn't until this time that they realized how strong the wine was. No wonder Huangdou gave them half a bowl alone.

But soon, this group of people who were addicted to alcohol immediately became excited again.For a moment, they didn't even care about their drunken companions, they hurriedly and carefully picked up their wine bowls, approached them and smelled them, the rich and strong aroma of the wine really fascinated them.Even before drinking, they already felt that they were mostly drunk.

With the lessons learned before them, they didn't dare to mess around, so they just tried a small sip first.

After just one sip, someone shouted: "What a strong wine! It's really exciting!"

"It's indeed strong. All the spirits I've drank in my life can't compare to it combined. This wine deserves to be the number one spirit in the world! It's a blessing to meet Mrs. Cui today, especially Li Taibai's blessing!" Li Bai was so excited that he was holding his wine bowl, almost tearing up.

Others reacted much the same way he did.

But because the wine was too strong, they could no longer drink it all in one gulp.And such a good wine, seeing that Mu Jiaojiao only had such a jar here, they didn't dare to mess around, so they all carefully sipped it.

But just this wine, one sip can be worth the two jars they usually drink.So after taking a few mouthfuls, they all quickly fell into a state of intoxication.

Then, Mr. He Erlang said loudly: "Everyone stop, Taibai Xingjing is going to sing!"

When Mu Jiaojiao heard this, he immediately pricked up his ears, and saw that Li Bai picked up the saber, pulled it out of the sheath, and tapped the scabbard with the back of the saber, accompanied by the rough and dull knocking sound, he sang fuzzily: : "Zhao Keman Hu Ying, Wu hook frost and snow. The silver saddle shines on the white horse, rustling like a shooting star. Killing a person in ten steps, a thousand miles will never stop!"

"Okay! It's good to kill a person in ten steps, and you won't stay behind for a thousand miles!" Mr. He Erlang clapped his hands and sang loudly. He also drew out his saber and struck the wine jar at hand, loudly echoing his libretto——

"Hello!"

"Let's drink in Xinling, take off your sword and cross your knees." The people at the table also beat the time and began to sing slowly.

Seeing this, Mu Jiaojiao picked up his chopsticks and tapped the small bowl in front of him.The tinkling and crisp sound poured into the dull voice over there, like a stream of clear water pouring into it, instantly refreshing people.

"Will roast Zhuhai, and hold the cup to persuade Hou Ying. Three cups of utter promises, the five mountains are light..."

Slowly, not only her, but also Hu San and others joined in.In the end, even Mr. Erlang hummed softly.The little lady can't speak yet, but she also shakes her small body in accordance with the rhythm, not to mention how cute she is.

Mu Jiaojiao only felt that his chest seemed to be filled with something, and the pride in his chest almost broke through the sky.

She embraced the two children, and sang with everyone, and suddenly felt as if she was drunk without drinking.
