Volume 4 Chapter 108 The Imperial Wine
The young man who stopped Xue Zong and Qingzi was named Keith and was Qingzi's classmate. Ever since he first saw the beautiful Aoko, he was fascinated and vowed to chase her down.
However, Aoko never responds to his show of affection, much to his heartbreak. But the only thing that comforted him was that Aoko never responded to other boys' requests. It is equivalent to saying that the goddess-level Qingzi has always been single, and there is no news of dating her boyfriend.
After learning this news, Keith still has a glimmer of hope. He believes that as long as the kung fu deep iron pestle is sharpened into a needle. As long as you persevere, you should be able to win the favor of the goddess.
So he has worked very hard over the years, and his family is very powerful. belongs to the children of a very rich family. This time, I made a big deal with the Jin family and became the person in charge of the project.
Taking advantage of the spring breeze, this class reunion was held to confess to Qingzi again in public.
Flowers, candles, wine, all the same. He also instructed the owner of the restaurant to cooperate with his actions in advance, and after this meal was combined, three thousand taels of silver had already been used without counting the money for the meal.
You know, this is equivalent to more than half of the money he made for the entire project, which can be said to be a lot of money.
But unexpectedly, Qingzi actually brought a man to the banquet, and explained in public that this was his boyfriend, no matter how strong Keith's heart was bearable, he couldn't stand it.
A wave of jealousy, and even hatred.
He looked Xue Zong up and down, and saw that although his appearance was remarkable, he was not very outstanding, plus he was dressed in cheap clothes and had no jewelry, just such a commoner, I didn't know that he could compare to himself.
I just wanted to persuade Qingzi to change her mind, but I didn't expect her to ignore herself and pass. Some students couldn't help but laugh when they watched this scene.
Keith really wanted to tear his face on the spot, but after thinking about it, he thought that he might be able to save it. Through this meal, Qingzi realized how good he was, how incompetent Xue Zong's kid was, maybe the goddess would change her mind and throw herself into her arms.
So he took a few deep breaths and sat down on the table with his anger suppressed.
At this time, the girl who greeted Aoko was talking to Aoko.
It's smiling, but it's fake. This girl also has a deep jealousy of Aoko.
also belongs to a famous lady, but this Miss Nellie is pressed by Qingzi everywhere. No matter how she dresses up, she is much inferior in front of the beautiful Qingzi, and this time she found the young master of the Jin family to be her boyfriend in advance.
She actually thinks very well, whether a woman is good or not often does not depend on her qualifications, but on what kind of boyfriend she finds. is the so-called talented woman, if your boyfriend is better than the other party, then it means that you are better than the other party.
That's why she agreed to Jin Shao's request in advance, and wanted to show off at today's banquet.
There are so many undercurrents hidden in the small banquet, Xue Zong has been a great enemy for a long time, how could he not detect the abnormality in the atmosphere, but it is not the time for him to come forward at this time, and it is what he should do now.
After mastering the situation, you can defeat the enemy with one move.
Therefore, from the moment he entered the door, Xue Zong consciously asked Qingzi to make an introduction, and he could talk less if he could.
Qingzi, this little girl, also behaved well, and gave herself a long face.
Seeing that the personnel were ready, Keith ordered to order.
He straightened his clothes, poured a glass of wine for Qingzi very politely, and said, "Qingzi, I know that you are not good at drinking, so I specially transported the red grape juice from Carthage." This kind of wine will not be sinful to drink as much as you want, and it suits you very well. ”
There's an old saying, don't hit a smiling person. Since Keith no longer mentions what happened just now, he and he are classmates, taking into account the friendship of classmates, even if he doesn't like him very much, he still has to get by on face.
So Qingzi nodded slightly, took the glass of red grape juice, and when she smelled it, it was really fragrant.
Keith glanced at Xue Zong with contempt, meaning that this wine is the most expensive wine in the city, and it is not something that you, a commoner, can afford.
The rest of the students looked at Qingzi enviously, which meant envy with vinegar.
The girls thought how happy they would be if this was their boyfriend.
One of the boys asked, "Keith, what kind of wine is this, can we all taste it?"
Keith shook his head with a wry smile and explained, "This wine is very delicate, and it can only be enjoyed by royals. It's not that you can buy it with a lot of money. It's a pity that I only got one bottle this time, and it was specially prepared for Miss Aoko. If you want to taste it, I will definitely give you a bottle when I have a chance in the future. ”
When everyone heard this, they cast envious eyes on Keith.
"Boss Keith. ”
"It's just that it's such an honor to have a classmate like you. ”
Keith was also very pleased with this kind of praise, and his confidence was suddenly doubled. pursed his lips, thinking to himself, Xue Zong, what do you kid compare to me!
At this time, after listening to Keith's explanation, Qingzi also became interested in this grape juice. The cute girl pursed her lips, just wanting to taste the wine.
At this time, Xue Zong gently pressed Qingzi's delicate arm and said with a natural face: "Qingzi, you can't drink like this." ”
Keith's face changed, he thought it was Xue Zong who was jealous, so he said proudly: "Xue Zong, what's the matter, so stingy, I invited my old classmates to have a drink and I was jealous like this, some patterns are too small." ”
This is undoubtedly a slander against Xue Zong, but the surrounding classmates believe Keith's words. They were all a little dissatisfied with Xue Zong. Keith was even taller by comparison.
Qingzi blinked, and also looked at Xue Zong with a puzzled gaze, and asked, "Why?"
Xue Zong didn't react to Keith's words, his expression still looked so natural, and said, "This wine is a palace wine, and it tastes mellow. But this Mr. Keith clearly did not know much about the wine. If this kind of wine comes the same way, the road is bumpy, which will produce precipitation, which will affect the taste of the wine. Anything royal drinking requires a quarter of an hour to settle in ice water, and that's the perfect time to taste it. ”
Everyone looked at the glass of red grape juice, and although it was fragrant, it was indeed possible to see small particles of sediment floating in the wine.
Qingzi tilted her little head and asked, "How do you know?"
Xue Zong smiled slightly, and said lightly: "Oh, I only drink this kind of wine often." ”
Xue Zong told the truth, when he lived in Athens, Princess Amothys had ordered someone to bring him a few bottles. He thought it was an ordinary drink, and drank four bottles in one meal, and wondered why there was no degree at all.
When Ye Zi came back, he saw his stupid appearance, which explained the reason, and laughed at him for a long time.
As soon as this remark came out, although it was not loud, it caused a great response.
"What does he drink a lot?"
"Didn't Keith say that this wine was for the royal family?"
"Could it be that Aoko's boyfriend has something to do with the royal family?"
Everyone's attention suddenly shifted from Keith to Xue Zong, and they all cast awe-inspiring glances. A rich man in a place, how can he compare it with the royal family, it turns out that a goddess like Qingzi has found such an excellent boyfriend, yes, it is hidden. With all that praise on his face, Keith was of course very uncomfortable.
Keith gritted his teeth fiercely, he didn't know how much this bottle of wine had to do with it, and it took a thousand taels of silver to buy it, and he actually stole the limelight with a few words to Xue Zong, which was really a dumb loss.
But the chess game has just begun, and I still have a lot of preparations, so I can't just admit defeat!
Keith barely managed to squeeze out a smile and instructed the waiter to take the wine down and chill it.
At this time, Keith's smile was a little distorted, and it was not much better than crying.
However, since the game has started, it can only be finished head-on. He took a hard look at Xue Zong, boy, the best is still to come!
