After all the dishes were served, Bai Qi raised the wine glass in his hand and said, "The people who can sit here today must be their own people who have a good relationship, so let's just be happy if we have something to say." Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Everyone also raised their wine glasses, and then drank all the wine in the glass, and then except for Bai Qi, everyone else had a curious expression.

They are curious about two things, the first is what kind of wine is this? Why haven't I drunk it before? There is no foam, no color, just like water, but the mouth is sweet and slightly spicy, and when you swallow it, it is warm in the stomach, and you don't want to be comfortable.

The second point is that the glass in their hand is too small, really, although the wine is good, it is not enjoyable.

You look at the cup, and before you can open your mouth, you can finish it in two sips.

But when they saw Bai Qi, they couldn't help but laugh secretly, just a cup you ordered, and you only drank a small half? It seems that although this Lord Bai is brave on the battlefield, he is estimated to be a bear at the wine table.

Not only others, but even the old duke secretly wondered, although his reputation for "a glass of wine" is out, you won't take care of me so much, right? It's too much to use such a small cup.

What's more, this wine is really delicious.

And Bai Qi looked at their expressions, he didn't need to ask, he knew what they were thinking, but he didn't break it, and he still had to follow the wine to talk about things whether they were successful or not.

As for Ahri's mind trick, Bai Qi didn't plan to use it for the time being, after all, he still wanted to rely on normal ways to persuade the old duke to marry his daughter.

And Ahri can only let him make a move as a last resort.

A cup can hold three taels of wine, but those who have drunk wine know that under normal circumstances, half a catty of liquor is enough to make most people drunk, not to mention that they drink so quickly without knowing it.

I can't see that the old duke's alcohol consumption is okay, and after drinking nearly half a catty of liquor, he can still discuss with a smile, but his face is already red.

"This year's Noxus is a good year, have you gone to see the crops in the field? Tsk, you can't imagine it. ”

This was said by the old duke, and he couldn't see that he was quite sympathetic to the people's feelings.

Bai Qi picked up the wine diligently, and without asking, he poured it directly into his wine glass.

The old duke looked at it and didn't speak, after all, this cup was too small, which made him a little unimpressed, besides, this thing like clear water was really good to drink.

However, this is already the third cup.

Bai Qi put down the wine bottle and pretended to be curious and asked, "Oh?" yes, that's a good sign. ”

The old duke replied with a smile, "Isn't it, you may not know, although our Noxus has strong combat power, there has always been a shortage of grain and grass in the country, and from now on, we will no longer have to worry about this grain and grass." ”

Yes, I originally said that I would not talk about state affairs, but I went around a few times and went back again. But Bai Qi could only follow his meaning.

"Yo, what's going on? Tell me about it? ”

The old duke touched his beard and said, "This is thanks to the emerald god Ion, who is his gift." ”

Bai Qi raised his eyebrows, and he had something to say in his heart.

"Come, let's drink another one for a good harvest."

Seeing the old duke drink another glass of wine, he couldn't help but secretly say in his heart: yes, I didn't expect him to drink so much.

After putting down the wine glass, Bai Qi replied with a thoughtful feeling, "I remember, this emerald god Aion was invited by Darius, and I was there at the time."

And Aion also saw that Darius was genuinely sympathetic to the people, so he agreed to his request. ”

The old duke took a bite of food, then put down his chopsticks, picked up the wine glass in his hand and said, "Of course I heard about this." ”

Then he said to the melon-eating crowd, "Come, let's give Master Darius a drink." For a good harvest. ”

Everyone stood up, and Darius hurried to his feet, and then drank one with them at the same time.

After sitting down, Galen secretly asked Bai Qi, "Hey, I said that your method is not good?" I can't look at it. ”

Bai Qi smiled and said, "What's the panic, it's just the beginning." ”

Sure enough, as soon as he sat down, the old duke said to Caterina, "Come and sit with me, and I'll sit with Master Darius, and we will have a good talk." Speaking of which, we haven't talked in a long time. ”

Caterina looked at her father in amazement, she didn't know what was going on, if it was before, he wouldn't have done this kind of thing at the banquet at all, after all, it was a bit unsven.

A melon-eating crowd was also a little drunk, only to hear him smile and say, "Oh, actually, I envy the two of you, you say, you are both deeply favored by the royal family, and the relationship is so good in private."

It seems that Noxus in the future will depend on the two of you. ”

The old duke glared at him angrily and said, "How do you speak?" Noxus has been able to get to where it is today, mainly because of the leadership of the royal family.

And the main thing you know? That's my old brother, Noxus is guarding the frontier, so that we, the civil officials, can govern the country with peace of mind? ”

Everyone nodded yes, and Darius replied with some modesty, "These are all things I should do." ”

Then he raised the glass in his hand and said, "Come, let's have another drink." ”

The old duke was the first to raise his glass, and then said, "Come! Drink one more! ”

Haha, this is the fifth cup.

After Bai Qi saw them put down their wine glasses, he looked at the old duke's face, and immediately understood in his heart that it was time for him to take the next step.

So he deliberately sighed deeply, and an official next to him heard it, and immediately asked strangely, "Lord Bai?" What are you sighing for? But what's on your mind? ”

Everyone knows that people who have drunk alcohol speak loudly, so this time, everyone's attention was attracted.

Bai Qi saw the old duke take another sip of liquor by himself.

"You don't know, I've heard an old saying, filial piety has three nothings, the greatest."

An old man replied, "Well, yes, that's true. ”

Bai Qi continued, "I think Lord Darius, I have dedicated the first half of my life to Noxus, and I have broken my heart every day for the security of the border. ”

Everyone nodded.

"But now? The mainland is peaceful, but his youth is gone, and he is still clear until now, not to mention the heirs, and he has not even married yet. I'm his brother, so can I feel good when I see this? ”

Everyone sighed for a while, and Darius looked at him in amazement, not knowing what he meant.

I rub it, why does this sound a little awkward?

However, the old duke may have drunk too much, and he stood up violently, and said to Darius, "Brother, don't worry, your marriage is on me." ”

Bai Qimu replied in surprise, "Yo, is it?" Actually, my eldest brother Delai already has a sweetheart, but he is just looking for trouble, so it is difficult for the two of them to become lovers. ”

"No... Who's daughter, you, you tell me, I'll help you get it. ”

Daisy Opaia on the side blushed and pulled her father's sleeve, but in exchange for the old duke, he shook his arm and said dissatisfiedly, "Hey, why are you pulling me?" I'm talking to my brother about business. ”

The others also nodded and said, "Yes, yes, adults speak, children don't make trouble." ”

From the beginning to the present, Darius has drunk a lot, and with the strength of the wine, he suddenly popped out the words in his heart.

"I want to marry your second daughter, Daisy Opea."

Bai Qi and the others were nervous for a while, and they all looked at the old duke who was drinking with a red face, afraid that he would be angry after drinking, in case this was the case, then he could only let Ahri take action.

The old duke slammed the table and stood up with a snort. Bai Qi saw that the situation was not right, and immediately stood up and wanted to play a round.

However, what is unexpected is this.

"Original... It turns out that the old ... Brother likes me... The second girl... Head?

Not... No problem, I... Ming'er personally sent her daughter... To the old... Brother, let's... Bright... The day will end... Marriage.

Next year! I'll let you report your son, brother! ”

Darius burst into tears, and immediately put his arm around the old duke and said, "Brother, I don't know what to say, come on, drink, everything is in the wine." ”

"Yes, yes, everything is in the wine, come, let's drink one."

Everyone else was stupid, and Bai Qi was also dumbfounded, okay, I didn't expect this to be like this.

How to say it, although this is a drinking talk, but what is their identity? Those are all high-powered masters, and they speak every word.

So they usually don't drink alcohol, and even if they do, they strictly control themselves, and it's impossible to drink more at all, but today, because they don't know how powerful this liquor is, they all drink too much.

The people who ate melons applauded, and then everyone drank the wine in the cup in one gulp, happy, of course, they had to drink to their heart's content.

The old duke was already a little confused at this time, and it was thanks to Caterina that he had come, otherwise, he would have almost made Daisy Opaia and Darius worship heaven and earth on the spot.

And those people who eat melons don't talk about it, at this time they have already gotten under the table, a few are still shouting for a toast, and a few are already drunk and asleep.

Bai Qi clapped his hands, and then shouted happily, "It's done!" Yes! ”

Then he pointed to Draven and said, "You send the old duke back." ”

Draven replied excitedly, "Okay, okay." ”

This is the result of Bai Qi's reminder in advance, that is, his own people, you must not drink more than two glasses of wine, otherwise you will make a mistake. Draven, in particular, didn't believe it at first, but now he does.

The rest of the melon-eating crowd was sent upstairs by their entourage and sent them all back.

When everyone was gone, Bai Qi said to Darius, "Tomorrow you prepare the bride price, let's strike while the iron is hot, but we can't give him a chance to regret it." ”

Darius hesitantly replied, "Let's be so tidy, won't it be a little unauthentic?" ”

Bai Qi said: "Do you want a wife, or do you want face?" ”

"I want a wife."

"Then tomorrow I will prepare a bride price to propose."

"Okay, I'll go prepare the bride price now."

After discussing it, Bai Qi went out of the door, and as soon as he went out of the door, he saw Galen and Caterina holding hands, and they didn't know what to say.

As soon as Caterina heard that someone was coming out, she immediately pushed Galen away, pretended to be indifferent, and said, "Bai Qi, are you going to go back?" ”

"Well, what, I didn't see anything, you go on."

The next day, before dawn, Darius came running over and called Bai Qi.

"Bai Qi, are you awake? Isn't it time for us to go? ”

Bai Qi opened his eyes and looked, Damn, there are still a few stars in the sky, so he replied helplessly, "We can't be in a hurry, people may not get up now, let's wait." ”

Darius replied, "Oh, then you sleep." ”

However, less than half an hour later, Draedin came again, and shouted very kindly.

"Brother Bai? Do you think we're still on our way? ”

Bai Qi opened his eyes and looked at his watch, okay, it's only been less than twenty minutes, yes, it seems that he doesn't want to sleep peacefully.

When he had finished washing up, he came to the hall and found Darius sitting sadly, which made him very strange and asked.

"What are you doing? How is it sullen? ”

Darius replied, "Bai Qi, you said that we were going to propose marriage today, what if the other party denies it?" ”

Bai Qi laughed and said, "Okay, you don't want to worry about the sky, it's okay, you just wait to hug the beauty." ”

They went out at nine o'clock in the morning, and it took an hour and a half for them to come to the Duke's Palace, because when they came, firecrackers rang out all the way, so the housekeeper had already gotten the news, and when they saw Bai Qi and they arrived at the door, they immediately went to inform their Duke.

However, at this time, the duke was still slightly drunk.

"My lord, Lord White and Master Darius are here, and they are also carrying gifts from a dozen horses."

The old duke rubbed his head and asked suspiciously, "Oh? A gift for a dozen horses? What do you mean? ”

When I came to the hall, I found that my two daughters were talking to each other, not knowing what they were talking about, and there was a burst of cheerful laughter from time to time.

"Father, are you awake?"

"Well, I just received a report that Lord Bai and Darius came to our house with a generous gift?"

Caterina replied, "Exactly, they're waiting outside the door right now." ”

The old duke rubbed his temples and asked suspiciously, "What are they doing here?" What kind of gift do you give for no reason? ”

Daisy Opea's face changed in an instant, and as soon as his eyes turned red, he was about to burst into tears.

Caterina took her sister's hand and asked tentatively, "Father, don't you remember what you said yesterday?" ”

The old duke looked at her suspiciously, then frowned again in thought, and then replied with a puzzled face, "What did I say?" ”
