I'm not a god of wine

Chapter 8

As soon as he heard about drinking, it was from Xu Le's mouth, Cao Hai's expression changed drastically, and his head shook like a rattle.

A few days ago, I had a drink with Xu Le, and I still vividly remember the scene where I vomited in a daze. After being carried out, I slept for a whole day and night before I recovered.

Even now, when I think about it, I still have lingering fears.

Go drink with Xu Le again?
He just turned 38 this year and wants to live a few more years.

Seeing Cao Hai's appearance of avoiding it, Xu Le couldn't help crying and laughing, and thought for a while and said: "Forget it, after making the finished product, I will reward you with 100 taels of silver. You can do whatever you like."

"Second young master is wise!" Cao Hai's eyes lit up, overjoyed.

In this era, 100 taels is the living expenses of an ordinary family of three for five years. For ordinary people, it is definitely a huge sum of money.

With this money, he can marry a daughter-in-law, buy clean clothes, and buy an independent hut. Cao Hai thought about it, and couldn't open his eyes from laughing.

"See how promising you are." Xu Le shook his head, turned and left.

In front of the gate of Xu Mansion.

Headed by Mr. Xu, Mrs. Xu stood on the right, and a group of dozens of people stood at the door, surrounded by family guards to maintain order, as if they were waiting for someone.

"Why haven't you come yet? Master, could it be that you remember wrongly?" Mrs. Xu got a little impatient and frowned.

Master Xu is still an old god. Hearing Madam's words, he said indifferently: "Don't be anxious. With his status, he will never break his word. We should wait."

Mrs. Xu had no choice but to suppress the impatience in her heart and continue to wait.

After waiting for half an hour, an official sedan chair came slowly from the intersection. There were government servants clearing the way in front and city guards in the rear, full of momentum.

With a bang, the official sedan chair stopped at the gate of Xu Mansion, the bearer pressed the sedan chair, and a middle-aged man wearing a Confucian robe and short beard, like a scholar, stepped out of the sedan chair.

"Oh, I kept Brother Mu Cai waiting for a long time. I'm busy with business and I really can't get away. I still hope that Brother Mu Cai will be Haihan." The middle-aged man saw Master Xu and immediately said with a smile.

Xu Mucai cupped his hands again and again, shook his head and said, "Don't dare, the city guard is diligent and caring for the people, it's really the luck of Jialing, the luck of Great Zhou, Xu admires him the most, why do you complain?"

The middle-aged scholar nodded with a smile, and said: "Brother Mu Cai is absurd, today you and I will stop talking about Fengyue, I heard that your Xu family's fine wine is a must in Jialing, and there is even 50-year-old wine in the house, I wonder if I have such a good taste today ?”

"Master City Guard is here, my Xu Mansion is full of splendor, not to mention 50-year-old wine, there is also a hundred-year-old wine." Xu Mucai smiled, and stretched out his hand to lead the way: "Please."

"Good good."

Xu Mucai led the way, followed by the middle-aged man, and the group entered the Xu residence.

A table of delicious wine and banquet has already been set up in the main hall.

The middle-aged man sat in the first seat, and Xu Mucai sat in the second seat. While filling wine for him, he said: "In the century-old Yutangchun, my Xu family only has three altars. Now that the city guard is here, it is time to open the altar for wine tasting. I also invite the city guard to taste it."

"The fragrance is refreshing, soft but not greasy, the liquid is like a clear spring, clear and ethereal, not bad." The middle-aged man is obviously also a good drinker. He just nodded in satisfaction and moved his index finger when he smelled it.

He picked up the wine glass in front of him and drank it down in one gulp, the liquid entered his throat and reached his stomach, dripping heartily.

"Good wine, it really is good wine! Hahahahaha!"

"As long as the city guard is satisfied." Seeing this, Xu Mucai couldn't help laughing.

The middle-aged man pretended to be unhappy when he heard the words, and said, "Brother Mu Cai, why is he so estranged? Today, you and I will stop talking about love affairs, no matter who we are, just call me Brother Ting Yuan."

"In that case, I will be bold."

Xu Mucai nodded, the two of you said "Brother Mucai" and I said "Brother Tingyuan". The chat became more and more intense.

Finally, the wine has passed three rounds, and the dishes have tasted five flavors.

Xu Mucai straightened his expression, put down the chopsticks in his hand, looked at Li Tingyuan, and said, "Brother Tingyuan, I have something to ask."

"Oh?"

Li Tingyuan put down the wine glass in his hand, looked at Xu Muchai, and said, "Is it for your son?"

"Exactly."

Xu Mucai nodded, and said: "Xu Le, my son, has turned nineteen this year. He is close to the crown, and he is at the right age for marriage. Brother Wen Tingyuan has a daughter under his knees, who is sixteen years old. Therefore...Xu wants to help the two families Matching wires to build a bridge, I don't know what brother Ting Yuan thinks?"

Li Tingyuan turned the wine glass in his hand, groaning silently, as if weighing the pros and cons.

Xu Mucai was not in a hurry, but just waited quietly.

"Brother Mucai, let the children take care of their children's affairs. If the little girl loves the son-in-law, I'm happy to see it succeed."

Li Tingyuan thought for a while, took out an invitation card from his sleeve, handed it to Xu Muchai, and said, "Five days later, the little girl will hold a flower appreciation poetry meeting in the mansion. If your son is interested, you can go to the poetry meeting."

Xu Mucai accepted the invitation and nodded, knowing that it was the end of it.

"There are still government affairs that need to be dealt with urgently in the mansion. Brother Mu Cai, I will leave now." Li Tingyuan stood up and cupped his hands.

When Xu Mucai heard this, he hurriedly stood up, and was about to speak, but was interrupted by a notification from outside the door.

"Master, master! The second young master... he came back from the liquor store!"

A servant in Tsing Yi and a hat stood respectfully at the door, but his face looked a little strange.

That bastard is back?

Xu Mucai was taken aback, didn't he be grounded for seven days?But after calculating the time, he remembered that it was already the seventh day.

"I came back when I came back, what are you yelling for?" Xu Mucai's face darkened, the servant was so impolite in front of the city guard, which made him feel a little embarrassed.

"It's a coincidence. I only hear about your son's name but don't see him. Brother Mu Cai, can you let me meet?" Li Tingyuan smiled, looked at Xu Mucai and asked.

"Why not? Call him to me and tell him that he is going to see his Uncle Li this time, and ask him to behave himself."

"Yes."

The servant took the order and left.

Li Tingyuan glanced at Xu Muchai calmly, noncommittal.

Not long after, a muffled voice came from afar: "Uncle Li? Who is this person? Is there such a relative in my family?"

Hearing this, Xu Mucai's face turned red immediately, and he clenched his fists tightly. At the same time, he was a little surprised that it didn't seem to be his son's voice.

Li Tingyuan was smiling, raising his glass from time to time and taking a sip.

A tall and strong figure stepped into the main hall, and a big shiny bald head came into view first.

Wearing a long robe, Xu Le stood still in front of the hall, facing the Xu couple and Li Tingyuan, grinned and said, "Father, mother!"

"You...you you you you..." Xu Mucai stood up suddenly, pointed at Xu Le, his eyes widened, and he couldn't say a word for a long time.

"Le'er?" Mrs. Xu exclaimed, covering her mouth, looking at Xu Le in disbelief.

Xu Le looked at him, grinned and said, "Mom, it's me."

"!!!"

Mrs. Xu's eyes turned white, her body went limp, and she passed out directly.
