Hearing the apricot blossom brew, Wen Zijie asked excitedly: "But the hard-to-find apricot blossom brew?" ”

Wen said with a smile: "Exactly, this apricot blossom brew has no price, and it is supplied to the palace on weekdays, which is also the fact that the prime minister is honest and honest, and is deeply appreciated by the emperor, so he can get two jars." ”

The implication is that Xiangye is very favored and not comparable to ordinary people.

After hearing this, Wen Zijie really admired his uncle and complimented him, Tang Yun was also very proud, and pulled Wen to start counting his brother's heroic deeds before.

Tang Heng knew that what they said was a bit exaggerated, but he still smiled, calling himself old, not as good as back then.

After a while, the maids took the wine, opened the lid, and the room suddenly smelled a rich fragrance of apricot blossoms, and it was the best when they smelled it.

The maid put the large jar of wine into three small jugs, and then began to pour wine for everyone.

As soon as Wen Zijie's cup was full, he couldn't wait to take a sip, smashed his mouth and said, "Uncle, this is really a good wine, with a rich floral aroma, mellow and soft in the mouth, and it tastes endless." ”

Tang Yun sneered, "Zijie, why are you so rude, you should respect your uncle first." ”

Wen Zijie pretended to be embarrassed and scratched his head, looking honest.

Tang Heng seemed to be in a good mood today, waved his hand and smiled, "It's okay, my own family, don't talk about those false courtesies, but Zijie is quite good at tasting wine, this apricot blossom brew is indeed a good wine, but the taste is not suitable for people like me who are used to drinking spirits, you drink it yourself, I still drink my Xifeng wine." ”

Wen Zijie's two major pleasures in life are playing with women and drinking, so he did have a little bit of literature just after tasting wine.

Wen also showed the bearing of the master mother today, and gave the remaining jar of apricot blossom brew to Wen Zijie.

provoked Wen Zijie to praise his aunt again and again, and the banquet was full of joy.

Everyone had already tasted the wine in the cup and exclaimed, only Tang Yanning had not moved the cup.

Wen Ziqian glanced at the untouched wine glass and raised his eyebrows.

He raised the wine glass and toasted to his uncle, and then toasted to Wen's, Tang Yanqing and Tang Yanyu in order, when it was Tang Yanning's turn, she hesitated for a moment, and before she picked up the wine glass, everyone immediately looked at her.

Wen Ziqian held the wine glass and said with a smile: "Cousin is so faceless? Yesterday my cousin said that she wanted to thank me personally, why don't you want to drink a glass of wine with me today? ’

Tang Yanning smiled back and said apologetically: "How come? Cousin, yesterday my cousin was kind, afraid that Yan Ning would be bullied, Yan Ning was really grateful, and I also planned to give my cousin a cup of thanks later, but Yan Ning was really too strong to drink, worried that he would get drunk later, leading to jokes, I don't know if I can replace wine with tea? ”

Wen Ziqian said with a little disappointment on his face: "In this case, then you don't have to force your cousin, you can also replace wine with tea." ”

Tang Yun snorted coldly, her son toasted to the face in person, she didn't even know what to do, and said in an unhappy tone: "It's just a glass of wine, where can you get drunk, besides, it's really drunk, isn't this Xiangfu your home, go back to your own courtyard." ”

Seeing that his nephew was swept away by his daughter, Tang Heng was also slightly displeased, feeling that the third daughter was too ignorant, what about drinking a glass of wine in such a scene, so he immediately spoke: "Ning'er, it's just a glass of wine, your eldest cousin is kind, don't brush it away." ”

Tang Yanning's eyes froze, knowing that this glass of wine couldn't be hidden, she secretly thought, this wine has just been opened, everyone has drunk it, it should be nothing, thinking of this, she generously picked up the wine glass in front of her and touched it with Wen Ziqian, and said: "Yan Ning is not sensible just now, and I hope that the eldest cousin will not blame." With that, he drank it all.

The wine glass used to entertain guests in the prime minister is already small, and a full glass is only the amount of a sip.

Wen Ziqian looked at Tang Yanning's beautiful snow-white neck leaking out of a beautiful arc due to drinking, a trace of heat flashed in his eyes, and he said softly: "How come." Immediately after drinking all the wine in his cup, he toasted with the two aunts behind him in turn, the etiquette was extremely thoughtful, and there was no contempt at all.

After Wen Ziqian finished toasting in turn, he sat back silently, ate vegetables and talked with his uncle and aunt, and they were in harmony.

Tang Yanning felt that the apricot blossom stuffed just now tasted really good, with a rich floral fragrance and a hint of sweetness, if it weren't for the vigilance of today's banquet, she really wanted to drink another glass.

Wen Zijie drank a few glasses in a row, his face was already a little red, and he said slightly drunk: "Uncle, I think this room is a little stuffy, let me go out to breathe the air, and then come back to drink with you." ”

Tang Heng waved his hand and let him go, and said with a smile: "Zijie, although this apricot blossom brew is good, don't be greedy for a cup, this stamina is still quite big." ”

When Wen Zijie heard this, he immediately boasted: "Don't worry, uncle, I'm not drunk with a thousand cups, I just feel a little hot." After speaking, he staggered out, as if he was drunk and wanted to lose face and didn't want to admit it.

Tang Heng shook his head with a smile and told the little guy to take good care of his cousin.

The banquet was still lively, and there was no change because of Wen Zijie's departure, and without Wen Zijie's frequent looks, Tang Yanning felt relieved, reached out and took a few bites of the nearby dishes, and then stopped the chopsticks.

Aunt Du, who had been silent, suddenly asked Tang Yanning: "Third Miss, this gold-inlaid emerald hairpin on your head is really chic, did you buy it in Yixiang Pavilion?" ”

Because they were seated in order, next to Tang Yanning was Tang Yanqun, and next to Tang Yanqun was Aunt Du, Tang Yanning had to turn his head slightly if he wanted to reply, and he couldn't stare at the tableware in front of him.

She turned her head slightly, looked at Aunt Du and said with a smile, "It's not from Yixiang Pavilion, it was my father who gave it to me last time." ”

Yixiang Pavilion is the favorite jewelry shop of the lady lady in Beijing, there are many kinds of hairpins, the price is expensive, it is a typical gold cave.

Of course, compared to the Treasure Pavilion is still a level worse, the Treasure Pavilion must be a boutique, all are unique, private custom, the price, naturally a thousand taels of bottom, than the Yixiang Pavilion more gold.

Aunt Du's face suddenly realized, "Oh, it turned out to be sent by Xiangye, no wonder, it's so good-looking, I still think about which one bought it, and Yu'er will buy a set for her when she gets married in a few days." ”

After Aunt Du asked about the hairpin, she asked about the clothes and jewelry, and praised Tang Yanning with a warm face.

She always smiled appropriately and replied softly.

Wen looked at Aunt Du with a flattering face, a little disdainful, wasn't she very arrogant and disdainful of Tang Yanning before, but now she deliberately talked about it on the grounds of a hairpin.

She interrupted unhappily: "Aunt Du, today is a family banquet, there are distinguished guests, such trivial matters, do you have to put them on the table and ask?" ”

Aunt Du's face stiffened when Wen's straightforward words were said, and she bowed her head and said, "What Madam said is that the concubine has lost her sense of proportion. ”

Tang Yun looked at Aunt Du, who was once favored by her brother, and now she was so manipulated, she couldn't help but feel good, and she also said a few sarcastic sentences, until Tang Heng spoke.

Tang Yanning turned his head, looked at the wine glass in front of him, looked at Tang Yanyu's pretended calm expression, and thought of Wen Zijie who left, and a sneer hooked up at the corner of his mouth, did he have this kind of idea?

She suddenly deliberately knocked her chopsticks off, Tang Yanyu had just finished medicine Tang Yanning's cup, and she was still in shock, when she suddenly heard the sound of something landing, and subconsciously looked down, just at this moment, Tang Yanning quickly replaced the wine glasses of the two of them.

Seeing that Tang Yanning's chopsticks had fallen, she was relieved, turned around and smiled and asked the maid behind her to get another pair for the third lady.

The banquet was noisy, and Wen's Tang Yanqing and his family chatted very happily, and no one noticed that Tang Yanning's chopsticks fell to the ground.
