Chapter 679: Jianghu Tavern
Jianghu Tavern.
Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and where there is wine, there are stories.
With a familiar name, Wei Jiu stood in front of the Jianghu Tavern, remembering the story of the previous life. Because there are fragments of memories about Huaxia Kingdom hidden in his mind, he has never been able to tolerate the roughness of wheat wine in his previous life, even if it is the tribute wine of the royal family, it can't make him feel moved.
Later, by chance, he broke into this tavern.
Even though it's an abandoned tavern, it's the kind that closes the next day. But the familiar aroma made him pause, it was the fermentation of purple grapes, and although he couldn't remember the presence of the wine, he chose to taste it.
At that time, he had just woken up from his slumber, his mind was incomplete, and he was only famous in Landing Town.
When Wei Jiu first met Jiu Lao, he realized that he was a genius who always had his own understanding of fine wine. It can be said that he was the first to ferment grapes into wine in this desolate continent, and this achievement is unparalleled.
But the reality is that the world does not need such geniuses.
On that day, Wei Jiu has been legendary for a long time, but he still hasn't kept a cold-hearted brewmaster. may be able to put it another way, Wei Jiu's status and economic strength at that time were weak, and all he could give was verbal help, but he couldn't give anything substantive.
Wei Jiu and Jiu Lao, although they formed a friendship in previous years, they only had such a relationship.
Later, the old man left, and there was no news, even if Wei Jiu ascended to the throne of the Holy Emperor, he could not be found. That short-lived feeling was like a meteor, even after so many years, it left a deep impression on Wei Jiu's heart.
But fortunately, although the old wine has disappeared, there are many fine wines buried under the Jianghu tavern.
In the previous life, Wei Jiu was very fond of the wine made from these purple grapes, and he also led Lan Ni to this tavern. Later, whether the two of them were happy or sad, they liked to come to the Jianghu Tavern for a few drinks, listen to their own stories, and get drunk with other people's hearts.
Even, the night before Lan Ni drank the marriage of the city lord of Lingyuan City, she handed over her innocent body to Wei Jiu in this Jianghu tavern.
This dilapidated tavern had left an indelible impact on Wei Jiu's heart, and similarly, he believed that Lan Ni was the same. No matter how the facts change, some of the throbbing hidden in the bottom of my heart cannot be erased, and the big wedding is imminent, maybe she will really appear here.
At that moment, without too much hesitation, Wei Jiu slowly raised his hand and directly pushed the closed door of the tavern open.
With a creak, the wooden door staggered apart, and a lot of debris fell to the ground. Like the Jianghu Tavern in my memory, it has been in disrepair for a long time, and if it is placed in Huaxia Kingdom, it may be regarded as a dangerous house, but in this desolate continent where the weak eat the strong, no one will pay attention to it.
When the door opened, the familiar smell of wine greeted me. Immediately after, one rickety, the other exquisite, two figures broke into Wei Jiu's line of sight, making his heart tremble for no reason.
wading through the white waters of Black Mountain, you will eventually meet him among tens of millions of people, in the endless flow of people.
After a hundred calamities and thousands of tribulations, she will finally be found in the wilderness of endless time in thousands of years.
......
"The tavern is closed, so I'm sorry to entertain you!" came the familiar voice of the old winemaker, but it was an eviction order.
In a few days, it will be Lan Ni's wedding date, and the wine lord at that time has already decided that after Lan Ni's wedding, this Jianghu tavern will be completely closed and no longer open. Although wine is a good wine, but there are very few people who really understand wine, rather than living alone in this remote corner, it is better to walk through the thousands of rivers and mountains, and reward yourself with a leisure.
Wei Jiu's eyes raised slightly, looked at the wine elder, and chuckled, "The wine seniors of the Suwen Jianghu Tavern are royal-level brewing masters, but I don't know if the juniors have the opportunity to taste delicious food today?"
"Hehe, I've already said it, the tavern is closed today. Except for this girl, I won't accept anyone!" said the old man angrily.
A strong person has the dignity of a strong man, and a genius should also have his own arrogance.
No matter how old he was, as the only master brewer at the time, he was always spontaneous. It is probably because of this that the Jianghu Tavern will be dilapidated for a time, after all, his strange temper can't keep customers.
But Wei Jiu didn't care, he walked slowly to the side of the delicate figure, and said in a gentle voice, "This girl, is it a little sad to drink alone in the tavern of Nuoda?
The gentle words, the vaguely familiar voice, all these came into Lan Ni's ears, but it made her delicate body shock.
When she raised her head, she collided with those deep eyes, only to find that this man was so close to her. Her cheeks suddenly flushed a little, this was the first time she had been in such close contact with a strange man, and it was a man who was enough to make her heart beat faster.
She didn't know what kind of mystery there was, but at this moment, she also began to believe in a word, and fell in love at first sight.
......
"Boy, are you deaf or what? You can't understand people, right?" The old man had a violent temper, and when he saw Wei Jiu ignoring his eviction order, he immediately jumped up angrily.
But at this moment, Lan Ni suddenly spoke, and suddenly chuckled, "Old wine, let him sit down and have a few drinks... Looking at her like this, she looks like a person who understands wine, and the Jianghu Tavern is also open for business, so how can there be any reason not to entertain guests?"
"This ......" As soon as Lan Ni opened his mouth, the old man died down in an instant.
Taking advantage of the situation, Wei Jiu suddenly reached the opposite side of Lan Ni, and the two of them looked at each other across the wooden table.
Wine is not drunk, everyone is drunk, Wei Jiu has not started to drink bitterly, but there is also a flush on his cheeks. Smelling the fragrance of the wine, and then looking at the familiar person opposite, the throbbing in his heart is self-evident, and those good memories of the past are also emerging in his heart.
The sound of "clang" broke Wei Jiu's thoughts, and it turned out that it was the wine veteran who moved the wine over.
Wei Jiu picked up the bowl, shook it, and then finally drank it all. The Flood Desolate Continent is not as good as Huaxia Kingdom, no matter how much people here know how to enjoy it, but in this cruel world, they can't slow down and taste wine slowly, on the contrary, drinking it all can often bring them a sense of boldness.
After three rounds of drinking, Wei Jiu raised his gaze and looked at Lan Ni intently, revealing a warm smile.
"The girl is born with such a beautiful face and moon appearance, I am afraid that she is a fairy above the nine heavens, she can't do it, right?
"What's the use of a pretty face? If it weren't for this face, why would you have a hangover here today? In fact, in the end, being pretty is just an original sin!" Lan Ni shook his head and smiled bitterly.
Wei Jiu picked up a jar of wine and reached it in front of Lan Ni. continued, "It's all said that this tavern, a glass of wine for a story... I think it's better to do that, I'll give you a glass of wine, and I'll have a drink with you, and in return you'll tell me your story!"
Lan Ni looked at Wei Jiu and was silent for a long time, but for some reason, there was a feeling of trust in his heart for no reason. Although this was the first time she had seen Wei Jiu, she always had an inexplicable sense of familiarity, and listening to Wei Jiu's words, she really had an urge to pour out her heart.
"In a few days, it will be my birthday, and that day will be a major event in Landing Town!" Lan Ni said lightly, "That day will be held at the same time, it is a martial arts competition to recruit relatives, and the winner will have the honor to become my husband and get married within a month!"
Wei Jiu has heard all these news, and the people in the entire Landing Town know about it. Therefore, he did not choose to interrupt Lan Ni, but let him continue.
At this time, it was the old man who jumped out and said with some injustice, "What kind of competition to recruit relatives, to put it bluntly, it is just a marriage of black-box operation... Who doesn't know that the eldest young master of Guyue City asked Mayor Lan for marriage before, but was rejected by the young lady, so he made such a play. Gu Yue City's competition to recruit relatives, who is stronger than the Great Young Master of Gu Yue City? Even if there is, how many people dare to compete with him!"
Listening to Jiu Lao's words, Wei Jiu instantly became a little clear, and it was similar to what he expected.
Why did the marriage match in Landing Town make such a big move? The joy of Guyue City had actually explained these problems a long time ago. If it weren't for the Yue family, I was afraid that the entire city that was not rich would not be so laborious and money-saving.
Wei Jiu's gaze fell on Lan Ni, and he asked rhetorically, "Don't you like the eldest young master of Guyue City?" I heard that he was born handsome and powerful, but he is the one that thousands of women want to marry!"
"It's not a question of liking it or not, I haven't seen or touched it, so how can I talk about marriage?" Lan Ni suddenly shook his head and smiled bitterly, "The man I want, he needs to be a hero, one day, he will come to marry me with colorful auspicious clouds!"
The words fell, a bowl of spirits, drunk in one go, and the bitterness that slipped into the throat was far less than the bitterness in the heart.
Looking at each other, Wei Jiu suddenly asked without saying a word, "Do you believe in fate?"
"Otherwise, how would we meet in this defeated tavern?" Lan Ni said with a chuckle, "Although we have only met for the first time, you always make me feel very familiar, and I want to rely on it for no reason, probably, this is the fate of it!"
With a glance, the corners of Wei Jiu's mouth raised slightly, evoking a few weird smiles. I only heard him say in a deep voice, "In this case, there is no need to worry about anything, leave the rest to me!"
Wei Jiu's words were very firm, since fate had brought him back here, since fate had made them meet again, then no matter what, he would not allow Lan Ni to leave him again.
