Chapter 101: Fine Wine
It wasn't until Deyun Temple disappeared into the snow forest that Wang Manqing relaxed. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Li Guan handed her the hot tea poured by Hewang and said with a smile: "Let's take a sip of tea." ”
Wang Manqing clutched her chest and sighed, took the teacup, and said gloomily: "I became a Jiao and they grew up together, but now they are ......."
Li Guan knew that she was uncomfortable, and squeezed her hand to comfort her.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a little dull, Tsuru took out two boxes of snacks from the storage compartment.
"Miss, Miss Six, we still have to walk for a long time on the road, the two of you will eat some snacks to cushion your stomach."
Li Wan walked all morning, and he was indeed a little hungry, so he took a snack and ate it.
Wang Manqing felt a little guilty when she saw it, they were originally going to go back after lunch in Deyun Temple, but it was because of her that they were in such a hurry on the road.
She hurriedly said: "Guan'er, you can go to my place to eat later, and I will let someone make your favorite hot pot." ”
Li Guan didn't want to go, wouldn't he be unhappy if he ran into Ge Yi.
She was about to refuse, Wang Manqing suddenly thought of something, and said hurriedly: "Oh, Master Hou also said that he was coming to pick me up, most of them are already on the road at this time, what should I do!" ”
She hurriedly told the coachman to pay attention to the cars and horses through the car door, so as not to miss it with Ge Yi.
Li Guan breathed in his throat and didn't speak for a long time.
Until they returned to Jinxiang Houfu, Li Guan and they didn't see Ge Yi's frame, and the people in the house said that he had something to do to enter the palace temporarily, and arranged for someone to go to Deyun Temple to pick up Wang Manqing during the walk, maybe he missed it on the way.
Even though Li Guan didn't like Ge Yi, he cherished Wang Manqing even more, stayed with her for lunch, and talked for a while before leaving Jinxiang Houfu.
It has been declared positive when I came out of Jinxiang Houfu, and it was dark early in winter, and it was already full of sunshine at this time.
Seeing Li Wan leaning on in a daze, Crane Wang asked, "Miss, shall we go back to the house directly?" ”
Li Wan came back to his senses, lifted the curtains of the car and looked at it, and muttered: "The sunset is bright on the way back...... Let's get around. ”
The coachman got the order and drove the car around, thinking that Li Guan wanted to see the excitement on the street and relieve his boredom, so he picked a place with a lot of people to go, and unconsciously entered Pingtung Corner.
Pingtung corner is still as lively as ever, because the Lantern Festival is approaching, there are more lanterns on the street than in previous days, although they have not all been lit yet, but there is still a strong festive atmosphere.
By the time it got dark, the driver had already walked around Pingtung Corner with the handlebars and began to circle the streets.
Seeing that there was no way to go on like this, He Wang thought about it for a while, and said to Li Guan with a smile: "Miss, it's not too early, let's go home at this time, I'm afraid we won't be able to catch up with the meal." The front is Manxianglou, why don't you go and sit inside and use some pastries? ”
"No need, the pastries in Manxianglou are used to learning the tastes of the palace, it's boring."
Seeing that she was not interested, Tsuru didn't know what to do for a while.
Coincidentally, there was a mellow brewery around the corner in front, and Hewang thought of Li Guan's curiosity about Ye Zicheng, and couldn't help but say tentatively: "If Miss doesn't want to eat pastries, why don't you go to the mellow brewery for a few drinks." It's been a long time since I've been there, so maybe there's a new sake brewed at the brewery. ”
Li Guan's eyebrows showed a little loosening, and he said after a while: "Then go and sit down." ”
The maid led Li Wan and Hewang into the private room on the second floor, and after a while, a maid wearing lotus green curled clothes led people to serve wine.
"This is our newest fruit wine here, Miss try it."
Her voice was as crisp as a jade bead falling on a plate, and Li Wan couldn't help but glance at her.
"I remember...... Your name is Miao Han? ”
"Miss has a good memory!" Miao Han bent her knees and said with a smile, "Miss hasn't been here for a long time, and when I saw it at first glance, Miao Han almost thought that she was wrong!" ”
Before Li Guan returned to Kwai Garden, he often came to the brewery, firstly, to hear the news of Ye Zicheng, and secondly, to relieve boredom. Miao Han is the foremaid here, and the more she comes, the more she gets acquainted with Miao Han.
She smiled faintly, not smiling with Miao Han as she used to.
Miao Han saw that Li Wan was not interested in speaking, so he retreated with people very clearly.
Hewang raised his hand and poured a glass of wine and handed it to Li Guan: "The wine is fragrant and sweet, Miss drink and see!" ”
Li Wan took it, put the wine cup to the tip of his nose and smelled it, and said, "It's really fragrant." He drank it all down.
"Pour me another drink!"
He looked at the wine cup with pink lotus glaze and hesitated.
Li Wan couldn't help but smile: "Although I'm not good at drinking, I won't be put down by this fruit wine, what are you afraid of?" ”
He Wang had no choice but to comply.
Li Wan reclined on the chaise longue, rubbing his fingers against the edge of the wine cup, staring at the singer singing on the stage downstairs.
At the beginning of the year, the singer who sang the song retreated, and a small servant carried an easel and a pen and ink inkstone up.
Crane said, "What kind of novelty is this?" ”
Li Guan came back to his senses and looked at the past, only to see a maid with low eyebrows and bowed head walking to the easel, and the dragon and phoenix danced on the paper to write the word "Xun", and then turned around and said clearly: "This is today's idea, you can write poems, paint or play music by yourself, everything is as you like." The winner will receive a glass of wine. With that, he retreated.
"I didn't expect that after a few months, there would be such interesting things in the brewery!" He Wang said with a smile, "The guests of the brewery are either literati or dignitaries, and no one will care about that pot of wine, the key is to show their talents in front of these well-informed people here, if they can make a splash, they will soon be famous in the capital." There was appreciation in her eyes, "I don't know who came up with the idea, what a wonderful person!" ”
It happened that a little maid came to refill the wine, and said with a smile: "The girl is really insightful, I won't tell you, it was Mr. Ye who came up with this idea!" ”
Li Guan's eyes moved slightly, and when he saw it, he asked the little maid, "Is it?" "Appear interested.
The little maid explained: "Two months ago, Mr. Ye had to sit idle, and played a song "Guangling San" on a whim. Since that day, a large group of talented people have come every day, eager to play the sounds of heaven with Mr. After Mr. learned about this, he was very emotional, saying that the talented people in the world are like carp crossing the river, how can they be buried because of his absence, so he specially ordered us to set up this 'wine and food' to give everyone a chance to perform! ”
Li Guan listened thoughtfully.
When the little maid saw this, she lowered her voice and muttered: "I heard Sister Miaohan say that Mr. Ye is now meeting in the private room upstairs, I don't know which gentleman is lucky enough to be favored by Mr. today......"
Li Wan couldn't help but look surprised, but the little maid blessed her and retreated.
The private room was quiet, and it was already lively outside, some people were composing poems, some people were playing music, and from time to time there were loud cheers.
