CHAPTER XLVI
After drinking for a long time, none of the four people in the pavilion spoke, Zhou Xian sat next to Su Wanwan with his head bowed, holding a wine glass in his hand and silently distracted, Sun Wanzhuang and Lu Xun sat next to each other, their brows furrowed tightly, and their faces were depressed.
Although Han Jun has already controlled the amount of it, but in this situation, how can the four of them not feel some emotion, and the memories that have been suppressed in their hearts are like a thread. Lu Xun knew that the drunken spring was strong, so he took a sip and put down the wine glass, squinting his eyes and not knowing what he was thinking, Zhou Xian didn't like to drink, and he didn't touch the things in the cup, but Su Wanwan and Sun Wanzhuang drank happily.
"Ah Xun," someone who was originally bent on drinking suddenly put down the cup in his hand, and landed on the stone table with a crisp "dong" sound, Su Wanwan seemed to think of something sad, and there was a whimper from her head, which startled the other three, "Actually, I already knew..."
Su Wanwan raised her head suddenly, stared straight at Lu Xun across the table, her eyes were red, her face was a faint pink, and there was a fragrance of sake between her words and breathing, as if she was drunk and not drunk, when the three of them didn't know why, she actually stood up again, grabbed the wine jar and poured a glass of wine into the glass, shook her body and walked to Lu Xun's side.
Lu Xun didn't react in a hurry, and before she turned around, she was pressed on her shoulder by Su Wanwan's hand, her head was slightly offset, Su Wanwan had already raised the wine glass to her neck, and the gentle breath fell on her sensitive skin, but it was very flirtatious.
"Ah Xun, you don't drink. β
One hand was hooked from the shoulder to the waist, and the other hand was brought to Lu Xun's mouth with a wine glass, where did Su Wanwan know what she was doing, she was also drunk and confused now, thinking about Lu Xun, all the feelings in her heart were led out by a cup of drunken spring, and thousands of love words wanted to talk to Lu Xun, but she didn't know how to open her mouth when she blocked her throat.
"Wanwan, you're drunk. β
Lu Xun turned his head sideways, his tone was full of helplessness, if it was in the past, she would definitely inherit this glass of wine, but today it is not possible, Zhou Xian and Sun Wanzhuang are both present, she can't do anything out of the ordinary, if they see something, it will be troublesome.
"Do you drink?!"
Su Wanwan was angry, in her memory, this person had never rejected herself, obviously she liked to grab her own wine the most, not to mention that she took the initiative to send it up, the more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she became, Su Wanwan bit her lower lip, leaned closer to Lu Xun's cheek, and almost kissed it in front of everyone. Lu Xun seemed to guess what she wanted to do, snatched the cup directly from her hand, threw it on the table, got up from the seat and pushed Su Wanwan out, and his tone was stern.
"Wanwan, Zhou Gongzi is still here!"
Zhou Xian and Sun Wanzhuang were both at a loss, they didn't know why Su Wanwan was so abnormal, Zhou Xian didn't know how to react, after all, it was his fiancΓ©e, and Sun Wanzhuang was silent for a long time or Sun Wanzhuang whispered,
"Miss Lu, I think Miss is drunk, so it's better to send her back first. β
After that, she glanced at her worriedly, Su Wanwan was very dissatisfied with this mention, Ah Xun hadn't drunk her own wine yet, how could she go!
"I'm not drunk, I know everything..."
Before Su Wanwan finished speaking, Lu Xun nodded gratefully at Sun Wanzhuang, and directly took Su Wanwan's hand and walked outside the pavilion, a burst of fire broke out of her heart, Lu Xun was sad and angry, what is Wanwan doing?
Pulling people all the way to the room, Su Wanwan was still talking about something intermittently, and was so frightened by Lu Xun's "shut up" that she didn't dare to speak again. The door was still open, Lu Xun stretched out his hand and gently pushed the door open, led the confused Su Wanwan into the room, turned around and closed the door.
Lu Xun didn't want to worry about what Su Wanwan knew, just when she was drunk and talking nonsense, she didn't care about anything when she entered the room, she raised her hand and touched Su Wanwan's face, and a wave of heat spread out along the palm of her hand, Lu Xun was a little worried, let go of her hand and prepared to get some cold water to wipe her, and before she turned around, she was fiercely surrounded by someone around her waist, it was Su Wanwan.
"Wanwan, don't make trouble,"
Lu Xun shook his head, not realizing that Su Wanwan was drunk this time differently than before, holding the two small hands around her waist with both hands, and was about to break her hands away, she felt a tremor behind her back...
Wan Wan... Crying...
"Ah Xun, I already knew, I knew it from the time you lied to me and made that promise..."
"Actually, I lost that bet on purpose, I want you to win..."
Lu Xun chuckled in his heart, his heartbeat became faster and faster, his lips trembled slightly, and he couldn't say a word, it turned out... Wan Wan has known for a long time...
"It's that I've been deceiving myself, I can't believe it, I'm a coward, I'm afraid... We won't have results..."
"Ah Xun, it's all my fault, it's all my fault," Su Wanwan couldn't cry, the more she talked, the more uncomfortable she became, the previous deliberate suppression broke out at this time, and Lu Xun's back was already wet with tears, "Actually, I deliberately seduced you from the beginning, I was jealous that you were better to Zhuqing than to me, it was all my intention!"
Lu Xun smiled bitterly, is this the case? I met Zhuqing first with Wanwan, and then I met Zhuqing, when Zhuqing was the youngest and the oldest, it was normal for people to take more care of her, who knew that he made this vinegar jar angry, and he actually had this intention to take revenge on himself, and now it's good...
Su Wanwan was still crying in a low voice behind her, Lu Xun let go of her hand, turned around and took her into his arms, and gently stroked her back, as if silently comforting,
"Don't cry, I don't blame you. β
Knowing that this person also likes himself, Lu Xun is already very satisfied.
"Ah Xun..."
Su Wanwan leaned on Lu Xun's arms and whispered again, her voice contained indescribable affection, Lu Xun did not respond, but there was a gentle and doting smile on her face.
Drunk and spit out the truth... But it was so timely that I almost gave up.
ββ
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, preparations for this year's wine tasting conference have begun. It is said that in order to celebrate the emperor's 50th birthday, the imperial court solicited and selected fine wine from all over the country, and paid tribute directly to the palace.
This time it is still hosted by the Fang family, the location is set in the Tianke Restaurant, the residents of the four towns can participate, come and drink for free, in previous years, a single Tianke, this time it is going to usher in a lot of heavy enemies, Fuyin of Duolu Town, Yunsai of Changshou Town, Changji of Fukang Town, are all famous restaurants nearby!
Fang Yue has been troubled again recently, although the drunken spring is selling very well, but it has already come out, it must not be used as a tribute to the competition, if it was in the past, there would be no need to worry about this, but this time it was for the emperor's birthday, how could he not take the old wine and send it...
It's not that Fang Yue doesn't have confidence in Tianke, it's really a rare opportunity, the wine he brought to Ancheng last time was poisoned by Li Xiaozi, and he lost an opportunity in vain, this time if he didn't succeed, he had to be sad to death, there were no less than fifteen Tianke winemakers, and they were all old winemakers who had been making wine for more than ten years, needless to say, the wine skills were excellent, but unfortunately this also limited their creativity, always taking the old way to make wine, where could it compare to Han Jun's whimsical ideas?
Han Jun must participate in this drinking party, Fang Yue thought about it, abandoned the small house behind him, and went to Jun Liquor Workshop alone, praying silently while walking, I hope that Zhuqing is not here this time.
When Fang Yue came, Han Jun was busy brewing new wine in the wine cellar, and there was only Xiao Si waiting at the door in the store, Xu was his prayer worked, Fang Zhuqing was not in the store.
As the big boss behind Tianke and the elder brother of the proprietress, Xiao Si naturally knew Fang Yue, and when he saw people coming from a distance, he hurriedly greeted him with a smile, and before he could say hello, Fang Yue stopped at the door and asked in a whisper,
"Is Zhuqing here?"
"Young Master Fang is here to find the proprietress of the house, that's really unfortunate, she just went to the Xiyuan Flower Garden, and she may not be able to come back for a while..."
Xiao Si shook his head regretfully, and said in his heart that Fang Yue came at this time, and he came before the proprietress left. As everyone knows, Fang Yue is secretly having fun in his heart! It's good if he is not there, how can he "poach people" if he is there?
"It's okay, is Han Jun here?"
Fang Zhuqing was not there, Fang Yue's steps were also neat, his voice instantly raised several degrees, and he swaggered into the store with his hands behind his back, speaking of which, this was the first time he came to Jun Liquor Workshop, his eyes scanned back and forth in the store several times, and he nodded secretly, his eyes were quite appreciative.
This winery looks really good.
"The shopkeeper is still in the cellar, so I'm going to call him out. β
Xiao Si followed behind Fang Yue, and as soon as he took a step towards the wine cellar after answering, he was pulled by Fang Yue's hand.
"No, you wait here, I'll go find him myself. β
It was just a moment, Fang Yue had already thought about how to persuade Han Jun to be willing to come to Tianke to be a wine master.
In the final analysis, Han Jun doesn't want to give up Jun Jiufang, and he wants her to come to Tianke to be a wine master, the two are actually not in conflict, who said that Tianke's wine master can't open his own wine shop? Besides, with Han Jun's current situation, how can a Jun Wine Workshop alone make Zhuqing live a good life? It is for Zhuqing, Han Jun has to promise himself!
Walking down the steps step by step, I saw that Han Jun was still wearing his moonlight robe standing under the wine wall, his white jade-like neck was slightly upturned, and his long ink-colored hair was tied up at will, hanging down on his shoulders and sprinkled into a piece, such a scene, even Fang Yue was a little stupid, and sighed in his heart, Han Jun was really very good, his wine skills were so high, and he was so talented, no wonder Zhu Qing would take a fancy to her.
Fang Yue opened his mouth and coughed lightly, Han Jun reacted at this time, Xu is head was tilted for a long time, his neck was very sore, it took a long time to get used to it, and a trace of surprise flashed in Fang Yue's eyes when he saw the person who came, and he immediately changed into a smile and got up to greet him.
It is estimated that Brother Fang wanted to clear the bamboo, Han Jun didn't think much about it, with a faint smile on his face, he invited Fang Yue to sit down on the stool, and was about to speak, Fang Yue's voice had already come out first,
"Brother-in-law,"
Fang Yue thought about it, this time she came to ask for someone, and then she would be unfamiliar if she called Han Jun's name directly, and she thought about it for a long time, but she was replaced by "brother-in-law", anyway, she is now Zhuqing's husband, and it is not wrong to call her brother-in-law. But Han Jun couldn't say a word when he was called "brother-in-law".
Brother-in-law... Ahem, that's a good name.
"Big brother. Is there anything to do today?"
Han Jun picked up the teacup on the table, put away the unnaturalness on his face, and poured a cup of tea for Fang Yue.
"Zhuqing, who has no conscience, I don't know how many days I have been married, and I don't know how many days I will go back to the Fang family to see me, and I have to let my eldest brother come to the door in person..."
Fang Yue's tone was half complaining and half aggrieved, and he was telling the truth, Han Jun who listened was a little embarrassed, and he touched his nose before answering.
"The eldest brother misunderstood, and Zhuqing also missed it tightly, and he said every day that he wanted to go back to have a look, but he was too busy these days, and Han Jun really didn't have time to accompany her, so it was delayed until now..."
"Isn't it just that the little couple has just gotten married, what are you busy with these days?"
Fang Yue glanced at Han Jun ambiguously, with an unclear smile on his face, he took a sip of the teacup and asked in a low voice,
"Could it be that you are busy with the next month's drinking party?"
"Well," Han Jun nodded, revealing a wry smile, "If you don't brew new wine, you really can't afford to raise Zhuqing." β
Admitting this kind of thing in front of Fang Yue, Han Jun was inevitably a little reluctant to go, and he was really guilty about letting Fang Zhuqing live a hard life with him.
"That's... As I said before, why don't you think about it anymore?"
"There is no conflict between being a sommelier and Jun Distillery, and at the moment, this is the only way to solve your dilemma..."
Fang Yue blinked, he didn't mean to look down on Han Jun at all, his eyes were full of expectation, it was completely a posture of recruiting talents.
Moreover, this cocktail party is different from the past, the four towns are jointly organized, and not only Fu Zhen participates. β
"The saint is celebrating his fiftieth birthday this year, and the imperial court has selected fine wine from all over the country to pay tribute this time, so I hope you can come to Tianke to help... It's for the sake of Zhuqing's face. β
Fang Yue's words were sincere, Han Jun lowered his head and listened quietly, without saying a word, and only raised his head when he heard the last sentence, his eyes flashed with an unknown light, and he seemed to be a little excited.
Yes, if it weren't for Fang Yue's reminder, he almost forgot, a month later would be his father's birthday, in previous years, he would personally make wine for him, but this year, this year, this year, I can't, I have been away from the palace for so long, and I don't know how my father's body is... This time the wine, if it is really chosen, it is just a gift to his father, and the person who makes the wine will definitely have a chance to see his father, and then he can let Brother Fang take a look for him, Han Jun thought for a moment in his heart, and finally nodded,
"Okay, I promise my eldest brother to go to Tianke. β
