I'm not a god of wine

Chapter 12 Reception (for collection)

Reception?

Hearing this, Xu Le suddenly felt relieved.

"When will this reception start? Where will it be held?" Xu Le asked.

Seeing Xu Le's appearance, the bustard covered her mouth with a smile and said, "Hey, don't worry, sir. Not everyone can attend this reception, you need... huh?"

As she spoke, she stretched out her hand and made a gesture.

Xu Le suddenly understood that there was a threshold for participating in this reception, and money was needed to pave the way.

"Dare to ask mom, how much silver do you need?" Xu Le asked with a smile.

"Not expensive, not expensive." The bustard slowly stretched out a finger and waved it in front of Xu Le's eyes: "It's only 1000 taels."

"1000 taels!"

Xu Le frowned slightly, startled.

You know, the 1000 taels of silver in the Great Zhou Dynasty, if converted into modern soft sister coins, is roughly equivalent to the purchasing power of 10 yuan.

Spend 10 yuan just to buy a qualification to attend a reception?And it might not be possible to see Rue Xiang?

Rich people are really capricious.

Xu Le was filled with emotion.

"My lord, if you don't have money, you can't attend the reception. If you are short of money, please go and collect the silver taels before you come again. However, there is still one more incense stick, and the reception will begin. Don't wait until it's too late."

Xu Le's reaction was noticed by the bustard, and his face immediately turned cold, his tone was no longer enthusiastic, and he said lightly: "Is there anything else, sir? If there is nothing else, I will not greet you."

"Have."

Xu Le glanced at her, then slowly took out a bank note from his pocket, and threw it directly at her face: "This is 1000 taels, is it enough?"

The old bustard was taken aback for a moment, and after realizing it, he hurriedly reached out to catch the bank note, and his expression changed from indifferent to flattering in an instant, and the speed of switching back and forth was comparable to that of Emperor Zhenxiang.

"Enough is enough." The bustard looked at the banknote in his hand and said with a smile on his face, "Master, please follow me."

As she spoke, she stuffed the bank notes into her arms, while twisting her buttocks to lead the way ahead,
Xu Le shook his head and followed.

The bustard led Xu Le around eight turns, through a long corridor, and after another turn, a lobby appeared in front of him.

Underfoot is a Persian carpet as soft as cotton, calligraphy and paintings are hung on the wall, and the fragrance of high-quality sandalwood wafts in the air.

Dozens of tables of wine and food were placed here, and many people were already seated here, talking and talking.

"Master, the seats here are also very particular. The more noble you are, the more you sit at the front. For the five seats at the front table, after the reception, Miss Yunxiang will give you an extra personal gift."

The old bustard looked at Xu Le with a smile, and said the word "close-fitting", with an extra emphasis on his tone.

"Let's be honest, how much does it cost to sit in those seats?" Xu Le waved his hand and said calmly.

"Uncle is refreshing." Pointing to the first five seats, the bustard introduced, "The lowest seat costs 1000 taels, and the best seat costs 5000 taels. Look..."

When Xu Le went out this trip, he didn't bring much money, only 1 taels.

It was all given by the cheap daddy, and he was asked to meet the nine-fingered beggar in case of a rainy day, but it just came in handy at this moment.

With a blank expression on his face, Xu Le reached out and took out a stack of bank notes from his pocket, counted out five, handed them to the old bustard, and said flatly, "The best seat, I'll take it."

Looking at this stack of banknotes, the old bustard's eyes became straight.

She knew that this time she really met a big client.

After receiving the bank note from Xu Le, the madam narrowed her smiling eyes, but after a little hesitation, she handed back another bank note: "Master, forgive me, the best position , can’t sit still.”

"Oh? Why?" Xu Le was taken aback, frowning at her.

The old bustard said with a troubled face: "That's the position assigned by a big man, but the big man hasn't come yet, so you should choose a second place."

Xu Le looked at the bustard, pondered for a moment, then nodded.

The background of Nuanyu Pavilion is definitely not simple. Even the people in Nuanyu Pavilion are called big shots, and even if you think about it with your toes, you know that they are people who cannot be offended.

Xu Le didn't come here to make trouble this time, he just wanted to see the girl Yunxiang, and he didn't want to make any troubles.

Seeing that Xu Le agreed, the bustard breathed a sigh of relief.

At the same time, there was a little surprise in her eyes. Originally, she thought that the fierce bald man in front of her would be relentless, but now it seemed that she judged people by their appearance.

The bustard patted Xu Le's flattery endlessly, and brought Xu Le to the front table.

"Master. The reception is about to start, just wait patiently, and I won't disturb your interest." The old bustard said goodbye with the money in his pocket.

Xu Le sent her away with a wave of his hand. Without saying a word, he sat down in his seat, and with a bang, he put the century-old Yutangchun in his hand on the table.

People around looked over one after another, and saw a bald-headed strong man with a strange face, with a little curiosity in their eyes.

The people who can appear here are all famous, rich and noble people in Jialing City, they are familiar with each other, but the person in front of them looks unfamiliar, everyone can't help but bow their heads and whisper, guessing about Xu Le's origin.

Xu Le was sitting on the seat, feeling bored, a young gentleman came over, cupped his hands and smiled at Xu Le: "This brother invites you."

Hearing the sound, Xu Le raised his head to look at him, nodded, and ignored him.

The man looked a little embarrassed, but he didn't get angry, instead he sat down beside Xu Le, and said with a smile, "Your brother also came here for Miss Yunxiang, right?"

nonsense.

Xu Le rolled his eyes, too lazy to answer.

"Looking at Xiongtai's appearance, it must be the first time to attend a reception. Do you know the rules of this reception?"

"What rules?" Xu Le became interested and asked while looking at him.

The young gentleman smiled and said: "There are five tests in this reception, namely piano, chess, poetry, wine, and painting. Only when you pass one of the tests and get the approval of Nuanyu Pavilion can you see Rue Xiang girl."

"Wouldn't anyone with a heavy drinker be able to see Yunxiang?" Xu Le looked at him in surprise.

The young man was taken aback, then sneered, shook his head and said: "Brother, you really know how to joke, the reception is an elegant place, how can you judge the outcome by fighting for wine like ordinary people and rough people?"

Xu Le nodded and asked, "If you pass one test, you can meet Miss Yunxiang, but what about passing two?"

"If you pass two items, you can listen to Miss Ruxiang playing the piano. If you pass three items, you can have a long talk with Miss Ruxiang all night. If someone can pass four items, Miss Ruxiang will accompany them for three days."

"Then what if someone passes all five tests?" Xu Le asked thoughtfully, after thinking for a while.

The young man looked at him in surprise, was stunned for a while, and then replied: "Then this person will be Miss Yunxiang's guest in the curtain, and become Miss Yunxiang's first benefactor."

"Has anyone done it?"

"Never." The young master shook his head and sighed: "The highest record is just passing three tests, and it happened half a year ago. It was done by the eldest son of the Wang family."

Xu Le understood that this girl Ruxiang's airs were really not ordinary.

This is not a brothel girl, she is not much worse than some top stars in the previous life.

Xu Le was about to say thank you, when suddenly, his eyes looked forward.

A group of three people were entering the lobby, and all eyes were on the leader, the young man in black.

The man's face was pale, his footsteps were flimsy, he held a black folding fan in his hand, with a wicked sneer on his face, his eyes glanced at the people present, revealing an undisguised contempt.

Behind the young man in black, there were also two young men following him, step by step, respectful.

"Wang Ming from the Wang family, Xie Shuxin from the Xie family." Xu Le recognized these two people, and Wang Ming and Xie Shuxin were the ones who were jealous of the original body that day, and urged him to drink ten cups of immortal drunkenness.

It's really a narrow road to the enemy, Xu Le sneered in his heart.

The young man in black led Wang Xie and the two of them, and walked straight towards Xu Le's position without stopping.

When he saw Xu Le and the two of them, the young man in black frowned.

"Who told you to sit here? Get out!" Wang Ming stepped forward, looked at Xu Le, and yelled.
