Chapter Eighty-Eight: There Is Medicine in the Wine
Lu Xiyi hid in the hotel, only to hear people say: "The sedan chair at the front is the emperor today!" The sedan chair in the back is the prince's. ”
"The gray-haired man who rode a horse was the Duke of Zhenguo, and the one who followed him on both sides was the son of the Duke of Zhenguo."
Someone asked: "The one who wears the mask is also the son of Zhenguo?" ”
"Exactly."
"Why do you have to wear a mask when you have such a noble status?"
"You're an out-of-towner, aren't you? Do you know that the eldest son of this Zhenguo Gong is a freak when he comes out of his mother's womb: he looks extremely ugly, and in order not to scare people and damage the face of Zhen Guogong, he has been wearing a mask since he was a child. I heard that except for the prince and his wife, no one has ever seen the face of this eldest prince. It's his brother, and the second son of Zhenguo has never seen it. ”
"It's a pity, the identity is so noble, but the birth is so ugly, God is really blind!"
Lu Xiyi has also heard the legend of the eldest prince of Zhenguo, but she has always doubted how ugly a person can be so ugly that he wears a mask all his life?
I don't know when, a military master stood outside the window with a big knife, staring at the big eyes of the copper bell: "You Diao people, you dare to talk about the prince of Zhenguo!" Come on, bring them a chain to Jing Zhaoyin! ”
The people in the hotel were in mourning and begging for mercy.
Lu Xiyi couldn't be angry, and said to the military master: "The mouth of the people is more important than the defense of Sichuan, the prince of Zhenguo wears a mask, this is something that everyone sees, why don't people talk about it?" We have not discussed the affairs of the country, so you cannot arrest us. ”
With a cry of the blue wolf, the military master pulled out a big knife, and a cold light flashed: "To talk about the town and the country is to talk about the national politics!" Someone's coming, arrest this little girl first! ”
Suddenly, a figure landed outside the hotel, and Xue Liang's eyes looked at Lu Xiyi and Liu Ji through the mask.
Lu Xiyi's heart chuckled: The mask was cold and cold, and it was designed to look gluttonous, which was really scary! It was Liu Ji, and cold sweat broke out on his back.
"Childe!" The military master saluted respectfully to the prince of Zhenguo.
The eldest prince waved his hand, which meant to release people.
The military master was very stunned: "Son, are they slandering you?" ”
The eldest prince rolled his eyes coldly, and he didn't say a word, but he was already full of full majesty. The military master took a step back, lowered his waist, and snorted his mouth: "Okay, listen to the master!" ”
The eldest prince immediately jumped on the horse: "Drive!" "I don't look back and leave.
The military master put the knife back in the sheath: "The next time I hear you talking nonsense, I will kill you like chopping melons and vegetables!" With a few subordinates, he followed the eldest prince and left.
Liu Ji breathed a sigh of relief: "Obediently, I almost died here!" ”
"Hmph, I don't even have the right to speak, it's too bullying!" Lu Xiyi was also indignant, "It's really a shame to be the prince of Zhenguo." ”
She had heard that the Duke of Zhenguo defended the country and was a big hero, but she didn't expect the hero's subordinates to be so arrogant, it was really a shame for the Duke of Zhenguo.
"Okay, okay," Liu Ji persuaded, "haven't we been killed yet?" Let's go somewhere else. ”
Lu Xiyi thought to herself that the eldest prince of Zhenguo could intercede for her, which showed that the eldest prince was not domineering and domineering, and he was quite kind-hearted. No matter how ugly others are, in her opinion, he is still a handsome young man.
After walking around Tianjie and getting hungry, Liu Ji pointed to a high-rise building in front of him: "Boss Lu, how about we go to that restaurant to sharpen?" ”
Along the way, Liu Ji called her "Boss Lu", and she listened strangely harshly: "Liu Gongzi, don't call me Boss Lu in the future." I'm just a winemaker, so you'll call me Xiao Lu in the future. ”
Liu Ji is generous and bold, and he also hates that Boss Lu always calls Boss Lu shortly: "That's good, you will be my little sister in the future, and I will call you Xiao Lu." ”
The two talked and laughed and walked into the restaurant.
"Guest, what do you want to eat or drink?" The shopkeeper came over to greet him warmly.
Liu Ji pointed upstairs: "Is there still a location near the window?" ”
The shopkeeper smiled with a smile: "The good position is all taken away, son, miss, why don't you choose a secluded place to sit." ”
Liu Ji took out a big silver ingot, slammed it on the table, and said loudly: "Quickly choose a location near the window for me!" ”
The shopkeeper was dazzled: even the rich and noble people in the capital rarely made such a generous move.
"Okay, I'll pick a place for you. Come with me! ”
It is precisely money that can make ghosts grind, and the shopkeeper quickly gave them a window seat, from here, they can drink while watching the scenery of the entire capital.
"Childe, Miss, what do you want to eat and drink?" The shopkeeper asked again.
"Whatever." Lu Xiyi didn't pay much attention to this aspect.
However, Liu Ji is a rich man, and he talks about pomp: "Bring all the good dishes in your store, and the wine should be the best." ”
The shopkeeper said with a smile: "We just came up with a spring wine in the store, Yulou Chun, take a sip, and it will flutter like a fairy." ”
"Okay, then go to Yulouchun!"
In the big restaurant, the wine and food were prepared in an instant, brought up, and the entire table was arranged, and there was no place to put chopsticks.
Lu Xiyi doesn't like to be too extravagant: "Brother Liu, there are so many dishes, the two of us can't finish them." ”
"If you can't finish eating, then watch!" Liu Ji smiled and instructed Xiao Er, "Open the wine!" ”
The shopkeeper opened the mud, and a smell of wine came to his nose, overflowing the entire restaurant.
"Ah, don't say drink it, even if it smells drunk!" Liu Ji looked at Lu Xiyi, "I don't know, the wine here is not as good as the wine in Xiaoyao Distillery." ”
Lu Xiyi is a winemaking expert, the so-called outside the door to see the lively, inside the door to see the road. Lu Xiyi smelled the fragrance of Yulou Chun, but he always felt that something was wrong.
Seeing her frowning, the shopkeeper asked, "This boy said that you are a person in the winery, Miss taste it and give an opinion." ”
Lu Xiyi smiled modestly, raised the cup, covered his face with his sleeves, took a shallow sip, his mouth chirped twice, and a strange light suddenly shot out of his clear eyes.
Seeing this, the shopkeeper hurriedly asked, "Miss, how is the wine in our hotel?" ”
Lu Xiyi tugged at the corners of his mouth: "No...... Nothing, it's good. ”
The shopkeeper was relieved: "The two guest officers have other needs, you can call me." With that, he walked away.
Liu Ji looked at Lu Xiyi's drinking and looked wrong: "Xiao Lu, isn't this wine good?" I drink it very comfortably, just like the shopkeeper said, fluttering like a fairy. ”
Lu Xiyi's face suddenly became solemn, and he saw that the shopkeeper was not around: "Brother Liu, do you remember the bully Zhang Fatzi?" ”
Liu Ji thought to himself, why did Lu Xiyi suddenly mention Zhang Fatzi: "Remember, he fought with you a few times, but he lost to you." ”
Lu Xiyi's face flashed with pride: "Hehe, that's my luck." In that competition for the qualification of tribute wine, Zhang Fatzi slandered my wine for putting addictive drugs, but in fact, I didn't put it. However, in the world of winemaking, there is indeed that kind of addictive drug. ”
Liu Ji was full of curiosity: "Is this drug harmful to people?" ”
"Of course it's harmful!" Lu Xiyi has heard her mother talk about these drugs since she was a child, and it is very difficult to quit once she becomes addicted, so much so that she dies. "This drug is colorless, odorless, and not easy to detect for the average person. However, if you have a deep foundation, you can tell if you have it or not, as long as you smell it and taste it. ”
