Chapter 385: The Invisible Sword Shadow

With Xu Rui present, the small turmoil in the row was immediately quelled, and under the auspices of Zhang Youlin, Xu Rui said a few beautiful words, and the reception dinner kicked off.

Nineteen appetizers, thirty-six main courses, five refreshments, and three different wines were served by the maids in chronological order that had been demonstrated several times before.

Every dish is carefully selected, Xu Rui's lion opening at noon left a deep impression on the owners, so the dishes are all luxury-based, and the ingredients that can use ten taels of silver will never be used only nine taels.

And those three fine wines were temporarily invited to the head of the Xichuan Hao family to take out more than 20 years of treasures.

To say that the Xichuan Hao family is inconspicuous among the wealthy families, but this family is a famous winemaker, and there are few people in the entire northern country who can compete with it in winemaking.

They were originally worried about how to make friends with Xu Rui, but when the heads of the family came to the door for the drink, he was immediately overjoyed, and without saying a word, he took out many years of treasures, which was very similar to the past slamming.

Of course, this Hao family master is also selfish, but since people are willing to bleed heavily, it is difficult for others to stop his little entrainment.

The banquet had just begun, and when the maids were pouring wine for the heads of the family, Xu Rui found that there was a beautiful maid standing behind him who was richly dressed and had an outstanding temperament, holding a delicate black wine jar in her hand, pouring wine for him alone, and couldn't help but look at Zhang Youlin in surprise.

Zhang Youlin immediately got up and left the table, trotted all the way to Xu Rui's side, and whispered: "My lord, this is not an ordinary maid behind you, but the young daughter of the head of the Hao family in Xichuan, the young lady of a wealthy family. ”

"Huh?"

Xu Rui was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously turned his head to look at the maid, only to see that the maid was delicate and lovely, slim and elegant, and indeed looked like a wealthy family.

Seeing this scene, Wang Qingyi and Wang Minghao glanced at each other, and a bit of solemnity appeared on their faces.

Today's Wang family is quite beautiful, but all of this depends on Xu Rui, although they think that they have come up with enough sincerity to impress Xu Rui, but Xu Rui's attitude is a little ambiguous.

Besides, women always have their own love for green vegetables and radishes, in case Xu Rui likes a small family like Miss Hao, the situation of their Wang family will probably be much more difficult immediately, so they can't help but be nervous.

"What's going on?"

Xu Rui asked Zhang Youlin puzzled.

Zhang Youlin explained: "This is a little bit of the Hao family's heart, Miss Hao is just the icing on the cake, the bottle of jade leaf flower carving in his hand is the best, it is the legacy of the late brewing master Mao Wuwu."

Mao Wuwu has a very high attainment in winemaking, and all the wine he brews is the best in the world, but this person is very eccentric, the saint has recruited him into the palace several times, but he has shirked it, but the saint has not blamed him for this, which can be seen.

There are not many of this person's wine in the world, and especially this kind of jade leaf carving is the most precious, that is, the Hao family, which is a wine family, only has such a bottle, and only he can be worthy of the status of an adult. ”

"I see, the Hao family has a heart......

Mao Wuwu is famous, Xu Rui has also heard of it, and when he heard that it was a jade leaf flower carving, he was already eager to try it in his heart, and said with a smile.

In fact, how could he not see the ambiguous look on Zhang Youlin's face?

Wine is indeed good wine, but to say that the Hao family really likes is the opportunity to let the concubine pour wine for herself, the so-called drinking disorder, with such a soft and lovely service, it is not surprising that Xu Rui made a little non-point request with the strength of wine.

And as long as this daughter of the Hao family climbs into Xu Rui's bed, then the Hao family will probably be like a fish in water in Xichuan in the future.

Although there are many twists and turns in the Hao family, they do use a little thought, Xu Rui was amused in his heart, but there was a look of gratitude on his face.

He gently picked up the wine glass and sniffed it, only to feel a fragrance different from other alcoholic beverages immediately enter his brain, which shocked his spirit.

Xu Rui looked at Cao Siyuan, who was standing aside, and Cao Siyuan nodded at him quietly.

He drank the wine in his glass with confidence, and the golden liquor melted in his mouth, and the sweet smell like honey flowed down his throat and into his stomach, which immediately warmed his body and lingered for a long time.

"Good wine!"

Xu Rui put down the wine glass, couldn't help but praise sincerely, and then nodded to Miss Hao, who was pouring wine.

Miss Hao's cheeks were crimson, but a ray of light shot out of her eyes, and she timidly filled Xu Rui's wine glass.

Seeing that Xu Rui was satisfied, all the heads of the family were relieved, and the heads of the Hao family who were a few tables away were even more smiling, and the fat on their faces trembled, which was very funny, but instead of laughing at him, the other heads of the families around him cast envious glances at him.

Only Wang Minghao and Wang Qingyi's faces were more ugly.

Starting from Xu Rui's "good wine", the heads of the family gradually eased from the previous tension, and the atmosphere gradually warmed up under the change of glasses.

What people didn't expect was that Xu Rui was not very old, but he was very vigorous when he drank wine, no matter who came to pay respect, he would not refuse, he drank it all, and sighed that the cup was too small and not enough to enjoy himself.

Those who were originally holding a small cup of toast had to change to a large cup, and they were drunk for a while, and they wanted to be drunk with Xu Rui.

Naturally, they didn't know that Xu Rui's metabolism of poisons had reached a very terrifying point under the transformation of genetic drugs, not to mention just a little alcohol, even slightly worse poisons would not have any effect, and getting drunk was almost a thing of the past for him.

Zhang Youlin was originally worried that Xu Rui would not be able to do serious things after he was drunk, but it can be seen that half of the jar of jade leaves is carved in his stomach, Xu Rui is still logical, his words are sharp, and he is not half drunk, and he can't help but feel emotional.

Xu Rui not only fights fiercely, but also drinks more fiercely, he is indeed a once-in-a-century fierce man, no wonder the entire Xichuan can't wrestle with him?

Even he didn't realize that when this thought came to him, his mentality had already shown the side of surrender to the strong.

After three rounds of drinking, a rich old man in a purple golden robe walked up to Xu Rui with a wooden box and a smile, Xu Rui knew that he was also the head of the family, but no one had specifically introduced the identity of this person, so he looked at Zhang Youlin again.

"This is the head of the Xichuan Lin family, Lin Tangyi."

Zhang Youlin just got up, and before he could speak, Wang Minghao, who was beside Xu Rui, preemptively introduced Xu Rui.

Xu Rui's reliance on Zhang Youlin has long aroused the vigilance of the Wang family, originally because the Wang family and the Cui family were very close, after the fall of the Cui family, they could only be slaughtered, and there was no way to take Zhang Youlin, an upstart.

Unexpectedly, Xu Rui glanced at Wang Minghao and Wang Qingyi, and immediately made the two young people think more, and replacing Zhang Youlin as Xu Rui's right and left hand in Xichuan is the best entry point.

Seeing that Wang Minghao couldn't wait, Zhang Youlin didn't have any anger on his face, he just stood aside with a smile, waiting to answer Xu Rui's other questions.

Xu Rui glanced at Wang Minghao, and without saying anything, he turned his gaze to Lin Tangyi and said, "Lin family master, who are you?" ”

Lin Tangyi's gray beard shook slightly, the corners of his mouth hooked up a flattering smile, raised the wooden box in his hand to his chest, and then opened it gently, and for a moment the eyes of the people present suddenly widened and gasped.

Even the moment Xu Rui saw the things in the box, his face changed slightly, his eyes kept looking at the things inside, and he didn't dare to take a breath.
