212. Isn't that a coincidence
"What did my sister-in-law cook today? It smells so good! β
"Just two new dishes, pickled cabbage fish, chopped pepper fish head, Qin Gongzi to try it."
The dishes are set up in front of the square table, all of which are full of color and flavor.
The two dishes that she ordered separately used a large soup pot because of the large amount, which occupied half of the square table, and the other side dishes were also very good-looking, even the cold bitter chrysanthemum was also bright green.
Hey? There are sweet and sour pork ribs.
He saw it at a glance!
Qin Zheng gave Cheng Xi a surprised look, restrained his eyes from the dining table, and tried his best to be polite.
"What, we're not outsiders, sister-in-law and sister of the Shen family will sit down together?"
Shen Xingqi was very surprised when he heard this, looked at his brother for advice, and saw Shen Xingluo nodding and adding two pairs of fast sons.
As for Cheng Xi?
When she came out of the kitchen again, there was a black wine jar in her arms, and when she lifted the red cloth used to seal it, a burst of wine suddenly wafted out.
This is the first cherry liquor made in the space.
According to the time it has been stored inside, it is not short, and it is enough to have a mellow taste, which is also the first time Cheng Xi has tried it.
The porcelain white wine glass was quickly filled with a crimson liquid, which was refreshing and translucent, because there was no impurity after filtering in advance.
"What is this?"
Qin Zheng thinks that he is well-informed, because he has seen most of the good things in this world because of the abundance in his family, but it is the first time he has encountered this kind of drink.
"A kind of fruit wine, Qin Gongzi might as well guess."
"It smells fragrant and smells of wine, which is somewhat similar to the wine paid tribute to the West."
But he knows that this is not wine.
Not only the color, but also the translucency.
Qin Zheng's attention was completely attracted by the small porcelain cup in front of him, and he took a sip with his right hand, and his eyes suddenly showed a little amazement.
"How's it going?"
"Sweet, mellow, with a strong cherry flavor, this is actually made with cherries?!"
Cherries were rare in the Great Yan Dynasty, because they were rare and ridiculously expensive, and no one made them into wine.
Qin Zheng only felt that the drink in his hand had opened up a new world for him.
"Xingluo, where did you get the treasure from?"
"Madame did."
Shen Xingluo's tone was calm, and he didn't react much.
There were two batches of fruit wine in the space, the second batch was made with clear spring water not long ago, and when Cheng Xi poured the wine, he smelled the aroma of the wine and knew that this was the first batch.
"Do it yourself? When did there be cherries in Lin'an Mansion, why haven't I seen them? β
"I encountered a few trees in Shennong Mountain."
"......" Qin Zheng, who originally wanted to lick his face and beg for some wine, instantly closed the mic.
Although I really want to drink it, and my skin is thick enough, this thing is obviously not something you can drink if you want to.
"Brother Shen is lucky, sister-in-law is good at craftsmanship, I didn't expect that even this kind of fruit wine can be brewed."
Qin Zheng regretted that he didn't want to let go at all while holding the wine glass.
However, this obviously did not delay him from eating and drinking, and when he saw Shen Xing Luoti fast, he followed closely behind, and immediately extended the fast son to the sauerkraut fish.
"Wow~"
Those narrow eyes lit up again because of the food, and Qin Zheng felt that the whole person was flying beautifully.
"Tender and refreshing, sour and spicy, it turns out that the fish can be so delicious!"
Following the sweet and sour pork ribs, this ancient son fell in love with swimming in the water again, and the subsequent chopped pepper fish head made his good impression of fish meat go up a lot.
Qin Zheng suddenly turned into a glutton, and the fast son flew up, revealing a little anxiety in his elegance.
Shen Xingqi saw a guest eating like this for the first time, and was so shocked that he almost didn't hold the tableware steady.
"Sister-in-law, is this Qin Gongzi hungry?"
Think the Cheng family's father didn't gobble it up so much? People are still informal Jianghu people!
Or is there any habit in the big family that can only eat half full, so that Qin Gongzi has been hungry and sick for a long time?
It's outrageous.
"Leave him alone, you eat more."
Cheng Xi used the official to clip a few pieces of fish meat for her, and it was estimated that her sister-in-law would not be able to eat it if she was a second late.
There is no rule of eating and sleeping at the Shen family's table, but Shen Xingluo doesn't talk much every day, Qin Zheng is busy showing off, Cheng Xi and Shen Xingqi eat silently, and for a while, they can only hear the sound of small bowls colliding.
And, the sound of running water pouring out of cherry wine.
The sides of Qin Zheng's cheeks became more and more red, and the whole person was slightly drunk.
Cheng Xi put down the bowl quickly and whispered to Shen Xingluo, "He seems to be drunk." β
Why is the younger generation of the Qin family so bad?
It shouldn't be!
"Most of the business negotiations in our place are completed at the wine table, and Qin Gongzi is so naΓ―ve that he can't drink it, and the third room of the Qin family is afraid that it will be a pill in the future." β
'Madame's business negotiations are also done at the wine table?' β
'How so? I'm a powerhouse. β
Cheng Xi threw him a [don't slander me] look, and when he saw that the meal had come to an end, he motioned for him to greet the guests, and pulled Shen Xingqi to start removing the dishes.
The fruit wine was replaced with clear tea, and Qin Zheng's red face faded a little.
"Thank you sister-in-law for your hospitality, every dish is delicious in the world!"
"I heard from my cousin that there are mountain bandits in Shenjia Village, and I originally planned to visit a few days ago, but the Qin family has a few merchant ships transporting grain docked, so it took some time, and I ask Xingluo and my sister-in-law not to be surprised."
"Brother Qin is polite, it's important to get down to business, but haven't you always ignored the Qin family's affairs?"
"Ahβthat's a long story."
Qin Zheng sighed and pulled Shen Xingluo to spit out bitterness.
......
When Qin left, it was already evening, and when the carriage drove away from the Shen family's courtyard, Cheng Xi sent out two small jars of fruit wine.
Qin Zheng was overjoyed, and he was reluctant to put it down in his arms the whole time.
"What did you talk about?"
Cheng Xi intuitively felt that Qin Zheng's trip out of the city was not just to come to visit.
Although as soon as he entered the door, he was affectionately concerned about whether a few people were okay, and whether he was injured when he met the mountain bandits, there was still a bit of solemnity on his face that could not be concealed.
To put it bluntly, this is not a person who can hide things at all.
"Madame, good eyesight."
Shen Xingluo pulled her into the study, "Do you remember the arson incident in the Qin Mansion before?" β
"Remember, what, eyebrows?"
"The Qin family didn't find out anything at the beginning, those people found an opportunity to cut themselves, Qin Zheng asked the five princes to investigate this a few days ago, and it involved a lot of things."
Cheng Xi was silent for a moment when he heard this, then looked up at him, "Among these many things, you are also included?" β
Shen Xingluo nodded.
"Wow~"
Isn't that a coincidence?
The arson of the Qin family is related to Zhou Xuzhi, since it is necessary to investigate, it is inevitable to bring out the radish and bring out the mud, how Shen Xingluo was injured at the beginning It is estimated that it has been placed on the head of the fifth prince at this time.
I didn't expect Shen Xingluo to make a move yet, and the truth of this matter was revealed?
However, for Cheng Xi, he is more concerned about another thing now.
