When the ripples on the water surface calmed down, everyone in the Wei family still seemed to be in a dream.
Although it was almost June, everyone still felt chilly in the evening breeze because their clothes were soaked with cold sweat.
After Wei Wuwei shouted his thanks to the river, he kept staring at the river and lost in thought.
“How about the head of the family…?”
The uncle of the Wei family was the first to break the silence and asked about the last situation. After hearing this, Wei Wuwei finally raised his head and looked at everyone around him with smiles on his face.
“Of course it’s done. You are all close friends of my Wei family. I hope you will keep your mouth shut about tonight’s events. Even the people closest to you are not allowed to mention it!”
This is mainly said to the other staff. As for the old housekeeper and the two brothers from Wei Wuwei’s father’s generation, they are of course our own.
After saying this, Wei Wuwei waved his hand.
“Let’s go to the pier and not come back until we get drunk!”
At this time, the city gate of Chunhui Mansion has been closed, and there is a lively place outside the city called Da Pier. There are many people who make a living on the water. There are restaurants, inns and inns, as well as the flower boats. Hejiang Chuanzhou is a gathering place for boat passengers, wealthy young men, young ladies and beautiful women.
The big pier at night is even more lively than Chunhui Fucheng during the day!
Long after everyone in the Wei family left with excitement, Ji Yuan was still lying on a willow in the distance, with only a shadow under the moonlight under a leaf.
On the river surface where the willows cross the river, there are only gentle waves caused by the evening breeze and flowing water. There is no more noise like the old turtle made before. In the distance, the sound of singing and dancing can be heard from the tall boats on the river.
From the beginning to the end, Ji Yuan just watched and listened. What he could see clearly was the aura of the old turtle and the Wei family’s jade pendant, but he listened to every word they said.
Lao Gui did not embarrass Wei Wuwei, and his last sigh was full of emotion. If it weren’t for the fact that his family knew about his family affairs, he would really have the urge to help him.
But 80% of what Lao Gui wants is related to practice. Ji Yuan doesn’t feel that he is really qualified to give advice, so he still looks up at the bright moon until now.
Originally, it was just to watch a lively event, but it made Ji Yuan feel a lot.
“When I look at the full moon, I feel a sense of regret in my heart. If you seek fate, he also seeks fate, so why don’t I do the same…”
I have no intention of moving my butt, it’s not cold now anyway, I think my current body can easily resist it, so until the morning light gradually rises, I hold the empty wine bottle on the willow tree with a snap of my fingers, seeming to be sleeping but not sleeping Stayed overnight.
When he woke up, he stretched out and shook the wine bottle subconsciously. He looked around but couldn’t find the trash can, and couldn’t help but laugh.
. . .
Chunhui Fucheng, the famous store Yuanzi Shop in the west corner of Piaoxiang Square, the shopkeeper is settling accounts in front of the stage as usual.
There was the sound of wheels rolling and shouting coming from outside. The shopkeeper looked up and saw that Mr. Wang, the wine collector, was leading two ox carts in person.
The shopkeeper hurriedly put down his hands and came out from behind the counter, stepped out of the store and greeted him.
“Third Master is doing so well lately!”
The Third Master Wang, formerly known as Wang Zizhong, is an elder of the wealthy royal family in the Chunhui Mansion. He is a brother to the head of the Wang family of this generation and the third in the family. However, he is looking after the Wang family in Zhouzhuang, hundreds of miles away. Industry rarely returns to Chunhui Mansion.
Hearing the shopkeeper’s warm greeting, Mr. Wang also responded cheerfully.
“Hahahaha, Mr. Wang eats well and sleeps well, just thinking about Qianrichun in Yuanzipu. Is Mr. Zhuo okay?”
“Thanks to the third master, I am also in high spirits. Qianrichun has prepared it for you a long time ago, and I am just waiting for the third master to pick it up!”
The two of them smiled and entered the garden shop together. Without the shopkeeper’s instructions, the shop assistants all started to get busy, carrying jars of fine wine out of the inner warehouse one by one. There were also Wang family members helping out on the two ox carts. .
“Third Master, would you like to have a drink?”
“Shopkeeper Zhuo, you’re too polite. One cup is not enough!”
“Hahaha, I have such a bad memory!”
Shopkeeper Zhuo walked back to the counter, took out a tray with fine porcelain cups and a wine flask, placed it on a table in the shop, and then personally poured wine for Mr. Wang.
“Third Master, please!”
“Thank you!”
The prince sat back on the stool and took the opportunity to take the cup and drink it all. Shopkeeper Zhuo on the other side stared at the wine cup he had finished drinking carefully and found that it was stained with a lot of wine like ordinary people.
Zhong Zi noticed Shopkeeper Zhuo’s eyes and asked with some confusion:
“Shopkeeper Zhuo, what are you looking at?”
“It’s okay, Mr. San is drinking!”
After saying that, the shopkeeper quickly poured the wine.
Three drinks went back and forth like this, and each time the shopkeeper took a closer look at the wine glass, which made Prince Zhong feel awkward. If he hadn’t been familiar with Shopkeeper Zhuo as a person and had confidence in his martial arts, he might have suspected that he had been poisoned.
“Shopkeeper Zhuo, are you confused? What’s going on?”
Shopkeeper Zhuo no longer shied away now, but sat down opposite Wang Zi Zhong, filled the wine for him, and then poured some for himself.
“Third Master, where does your martial arts rank in the world?”
“Why do you ask this?”
Zi Zhong was a little surprised, but he still answered.
“If you really want to talk about it, it is definitely above the first level. It is only one step away from innateness. In another ten or eight years, it may not be impossible to break through!”
“Uh…how many people in the world are as skilled as you in martial arts?”
“Hahaha… you are so rare!”
Wang Zizhong drank all the wine with great satisfaction, and Shopkeeper Zhuo hurriedly refilled it.
“Third Master, with all due respect, can you drink all the wine in the glass in one gulp, without even a trace of wine left?”
“What’s so difficult about this, just keep an eye on it!”
After saying this, Mr. Wang, holding the glass in front of his chest, suddenly shook his arm, and threw his right hand into his mouth like a swing of wine, and then raised the glass to show Shopkeeper Zhuo.
The latter saw that the bottom of the cup was indeed clean, but it still did not seem to be white porcelain, so he stretched out his finger and wiped it, and found that there was still a little wine liquid on his finger.
“Don’t blame me, Third Master, I’ll change a cup for you!”
“Shopkeeper Zhuo, you seem to have something on your mind. Why, did Wang let you down just now?”
Wizhi Zhong’s words were not sarcastic, but genuine confusion.
“Third Master, if you drink like this, can you drink the wine completely and feel it dry when you touch the bottom of the glass with your finger!”
After saying this, the shopkeeper made a drinking gesture. There was nothing special about it, just like ordinary people raising a glass to drink. He asked Shuyuan www.zhaoshuyuan.com to take a sip first, and then slowly poured it into his mouth.
Wizard Zhong saw Shopkeeper Zhuo’s actions in his eyes and frowned as he answered.
“I’m afraid that’s not possible. You’ve seen it, even if you’re lucky or drunk, there’s still some residue left, not to mention it’s so light and airy. Even if the most innate master can pick up objects within two feet, he still can’t do it. To make the invisible water so obedient!”
The speaker was unintentional and the listener was intentional. The sentence “Let the invisible water obey” shocked Shopkeeper Zhuo’s heart.
“That’s it. Thank you, Third Master, for clarifying my doubts.”
After Shopkeeper Zhuo thanked him, he was somewhat absent-minded.
But sometimes, some things are just such a coincidence.
“Shopkeeper, if you bring your own jug to buy wine, can it be cheaper? If you Qian Richun drinks it…it’s addictive!”
Ji Yuanzhong’s peaceful voice sounded outside the door, and shopkeeper Zhuo Teng De stood up immediately, startling the prince next to him.
Looking up and out the door, I saw the person I had seen two days ago.
“Some, some, no, no, cheap, cheap!”
Even if he tried his best to pretend to be normal, he couldn’t hide his excitement at all. Wang Zizhong looked puzzled, but Ji Yuan frowned slightly, thinking about why this was the case. Anyway, he didn’t expect what went wrong for a while.
The prince looked at the person outside the door again. Is it because this person is special?
When the prince saw Ji Yuan looking towards him, the prince raised his arms and slightly cupped his hands in salute, and Ji Yuan politely cupped his hands in return.
“My lord, my lord, please come in! This is the 20-year-old Thousand Days of Spring. Do you think it suits you?”
“Hey, hey, hey! Shopkeeper Zhuo, isn’t this appropriate? Didn’t you say that there aren’t many left that are 20 years old, so you won’t sell them!”
The prince shouted loudly and stood up, blowing his beard and staring. He didn’t even bother to drink his own wine.
