Chapter Fifty-Four: The Banquet at Liuyuan's Wai's House

But he said that the shopkeeper Ye thought that he couldn't fill the wine required by Liu Gongzi, but he was afraid that he would have to lose all his belongings, but he didn't expect that there was a Ji family brewing wine in this small Niutou Village.

And it's a very good wine.

He happily bought the wine and pulled it to the city, just in time to pull the wine to the place where Liu Gongzi was holding a banquet.

Liu Gongzi's full name is Liu Shuwen, listening to the name, you know how much his father Liu Yuanwai has expectations for him to study, this time he was admitted to Tongsheng, his father in order to express his excitement, let go of his cheeks, and invited many dignitaries.

Although the highest level is only a sixth-level official, for ordinary people, he is already a great official.

Shopkeeper Ye stood respectfully at the door, and saw one after another people in official uniforms entering with a smile, wiping cold sweat in his heart.

On such an important occasion, if he really couldn't serve wine, he really didn't dare to imagine his fate.

Now I am even more grateful to the Ji family.

If it weren't for them, I would be miserable.

I made up my mind right now that I would accept their wine in the future, and the price must be higher, and it would be a big deal to make less money, anyway, the dishes in their restaurant have already earned enough.

At this time, Shopkeeper Ye suddenly noticed the person in front of him, silently stepped back a little, and stood behind Liu Shuwen.

Liu Shuwen was originally standing at the door with a smile to entertain the guests with his father, but after seeing the person walking in front, the father and son rolled their eyes in unison.

There is no other reason, and it is the sworn enemies of father and son - Wang Yuanwai and his son Wang Yaozu who walked on the other side.

Wang Yuanwai has a big belly, Wang Yaozu is okay, the father and son looked arrogant, glanced at the Liu family father and son coldly, and swaggered in.

Behind him, there is also the flattering Chande.

The latter cautiously followed behind the father and son of Wang Yuanwai, looking at the dignitaries and dignitaries around him, not to mention how proud he was.

Today, it was he who desperately lobbied Wang Yuanwai's father and son to come over to see Liu Yuanwai's father and son's joke.

He said that there was absolutely no wine at the banquet at Liu Yuanwai's house, and there must have been a big joke at that time, and Wang Yuanwai's father and son were very happy to hear it.

Originally, they were particularly unhappy that Liu Yuanwai's son was admitted to Tongsheng, but now there are jokes that don't look at the bastard, and they immediately run over, and they can't even take care of their own banquet.

I don't want to miss the joke here.

Now that this Liu Yuan has invited so many officials, he really can't take out the wine when the time comes, he wants to see how this Ye shopkeeper rounds!

At that time, the first thing to bear the brunt of it is the Ye shopkeeper who is the worst!

Qian De hated Shopkeeper Ye for scolding him that day, and he was determined to step on Shopkeeper Ye to death, and it was best to never turn over again.

Watching the three of them march into their own banquet, Liu Yuanwai's father and son glanced at each other, and they both saw disdain in each other's eyes.

Liu Yuanwai thought to himself, that is, it is difficult to make trouble when there are many people now, and if you love to go in, you can go in, anyway, these two pairs of chopsticks are not bad, just let them see how competitive their own connections and their son are.

After the father and son entertained the guests, they returned to the banquet with a smile, and the dishes were placed on everyone's table.

Wang Yaozu couldn't see the Liu family proud, and said with a straight face: "Outside the Liu family, what's the point of just eating vegetables?" To hold a banquet is to drink. Why don't you serve wine earlier, and let us eat too! ”

As soon as this remark came out, many people agreed.

Seeing this, Lord Zhang, the sixth-rank official who was located above, couldn't help frowning, and he didn't like Wang Yaozu who suddenly spoke.

But he has been an official for many years, and he knows how to hide his true emotions, so he doesn't show it.

When Liu Shuwen heard Wang Yaozu say this, he didn't want to do what he wanted, so he kept a straight face and didn't speak.

This changed its flavor in the eyes of the well-intentioned person Chand.

It must be because there is no wine at the banquet of the Liu family, and they want to delay time.

Qian De got Wang Yaozu's promise, and selling the wine to him at a high price was just the beginning, and if he could disturb the banquet, he would be rewarded with fifty taels of silver.

For the fifty taels of silver, Chande smiled and said:

"Why didn't Liu Gongzi say anything? Could it be... Don't have alcohol? ”

The elder above's brow furrowed more and more deeply.

If a normal person hesitates, others will not think of going without wine, this person is not right at first glance, could it be that he is playing some bad idea?

Qian De didn't know that he had caused trouble, and seeing that the people around him were all surprised, Liu Shuwen looked at himself without sadness or joy, and thought that he had guessed the truth, as if he had said unintentionally:

"Young Master Liu, it's not good to have no wine at this banquet."

Wang Yaozu should be on the field at this time, he sneered and said:

"What's the matter? Liu Shuwen, you are admitted to such a big happy event as a child, you don't even buy wine for everyone to drink, everyone comes to your children's banquet, you treat everyone like this? ”

Chand sang and harmonized with him, as if there was no wine at this banquet.

Beside him, the man who loved wine had recognized Chande, and immediately there was a lot of discussion.

"The one wearing a fancy costume is Qian De, the only wine shop owner in Lin'an County, and if you want to buy wine in this neighborhood, you can only go to their wine store to buy it, and he said that this Liu Gongzi has no wine, so most of the time he has no wine to drink at the banquet..."

"Huh? According to what you say, most of them are not, and the owners of the wine shops say no, Liu Gongzi, can they still conjure wine out of thin air? ”

"It's a pity, it's a pity! This is a fine banquet, but it cannot be accompanied by wine. ”

“……”

Seeing that everyone was talking, Qian De said even more proudly:

"To hide what everyone said, the contemptible person is indeed Qian De, the owner of the only Qian family wine shop in Lin'an County, the last batch of wine brewed by my family has been sold to Young Master Wang a few days ago, but I am afraid that there is indeed no wine at this Liu family banquet!"

Everyone was surprised and looked at Wang Yaozu.

Wang Yaozu proudly hooked the corners of his lips, and just wanted to say a few words, when he heard a voice above say coldly:

"Who says I don't have alcohol in my house?"

"Impossible!" Wang Yaozu smiled, "Unless your family is making wine, and the last batch of Qian's wine has been bought by my family, where did you get the wine?" ”

Liu Shuwen sneered, ignored the complacent Wang Yaozu, and only said: "Come on, pass the wine!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, two rows of servants lined up outside the door, carrying wine glasses and jugs, and placing them on the low tables of the people.

After gently putting the wine glasses and flasks, everyone retreated with good training. The whole scene was orderly and the etiquette was appropriate.

Master Zhang stroked his beard with satisfaction, it seems that Liu Yuanwai is more appropriate.

"Impossible!" Chand, who witnessed everything, was the first to shout: "This must not be real wine, don't be deceived, they didn't buy wine at all." ”

Wang Yaozu's face was also ugly, "Liu Shuwen, if you don't have wine, don't slap your swollen face and become fat, it's shoddy." ”
