The purple-red wine flows slowly in the crystal glass with a graceful swing of the wrist, leaving a trail of wine on the inner wall.

Su Shi picked up the wine glass, put it on the end of his nose and inhaled slowly, the mellow fragrance was fragrant, and his face couldn't help but show an intoxicated look.

The wine has been eaten, and Su Shi quietly feels the rich and varied taste brought by the wine. Although the wine enters the throat, the aftertaste is lingering, which makes people intoxicated.

Su Shi put down the crystal cup, his eyes were full of regret, he looked at Chang Muhua, and sighed deliberately: "Brother Chang is not kind. ”

"Why did Brother Xian say that?"

"It's just a matter of hiding Jiao in the golden house, after all, a gentleman doesn't take people's favor, but this kind of good wine Brother Chang also has to hide deeply, that is, Brother Chang's is not."

Chang Muhua's face was full of smiles: "I saw that the wine made by the virtuous brother was mellow and strong, and I thought that I didn't like this kind of fragrant and indifferent wine, but I didn't expect that the virtuous brother knew so much about wine." ”

"I've tasted it a few times before, but in terms of color and aroma, it's far worse than Brother Chang's wine."

"Since Brother Xian likes it, Ashti."

Ashti bowed lightly and said, "Master, please command." ”

"Ask someone to send a bucket of grapes to the mansion of the virtuous brother."

Su Shi didn't shirk, raised his glass and smiled: "Thank you, Brother Chang." ”

At this point, Ashti unveiled the delicate tray, on which lay a medium-rare steak, next to a knife and fork wrapped in red silk.

Chang Muhua was about to introduce, only to see Su Shi skillfully pick up a knife and fork, cut off a slice of steak, and put it in his mouth with a fork.

Seeing this scene, not only Chang Muhua took a deep look at Su Shi, but even Anahita and Ashti's eyes were full of surprise.

However, Chang Muhua's deep eyes only flashed, and then he lowered his head and also cut a piece of steak and sent it to his mouth.

After eating a few slices of steak, Chang Muhua raised the crystal cup. Su Shi put down the knife and fork, also raised the cup, and nodded to Chang Muhua.

After the two tasted the wine again, Chang Muhua put down the crystal glass and looked at Su Shi quietly.

"Brother Xian came here today, his intention is not just to visit Brother Yu, I don't know what is going on?"

Su Shi put down the knife and fork, wiped the corners of his mouth with a red cloth towel, and nodded: "Brother Chang is aware of everything, I did have something to find Brother Chang this time." ”

"It's okay for the virtuous brother to say it directly."

Su Shi picked up the knife and fork again, and said with a smile: "Let's eat first, it's a pity that such a good steak is wasted." ”

"That's right."

While cutting the steak, Su Shi asked casually: "A few days ago, the eldest brother said that he was going to invest some money in Tianbao Pavilion, I don't know if he voted in the end?" ”

Chang Muhua's hand to cut the meat paused slightly, and then continued to cut it as if nothing had happened.

"Do you have any suggestions?"

Su Shi forked the meat and put it in his mouth, tasted the deliciousness of the steak carefully, and then said with a smile: "If Brother Chang hasn't invested yet, I suggest that it is best not to invest money in it." ”

Chang Muhua put down his knife and fork and looked directly at Su Shi: "Could it be that Brother Xian thinks there is something wrong with this matter?" ”

Su Shi raised the crystal glass, and Ashti saw that there was not much wine left in the glass, so he picked up the crystal wine jug and said softly: "Please put down the glass, and Ashti will pour wine for Childe." ”

Su Shi nodded in gratitude, then looked at Chang Muhua again, and said seriously: "There is indeed a problem, because Tianbao Pavilion was originally a scam. ”

"Scam? Where does the scam come from? ”

"You want the gold of the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion, but the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion is thinking about your principal."

Chang Muhua's face changed slightly, but he still didn't believe his words: "In the past two years, Tianbao Pavilion has been returning the principal and interest as promised, and no one seems to have been deceived. ”

Su Shi smiled: "When you fish, do you also use bait?" Not only are those usury profits bait, but the return of principal and interest as promised some time ago is just a layout. ”

Chang Muhua shook the crystal cup lightly and muttered: "Is this the guess of the virtuous brother or is there real evidence?" ”

"Guess." Su Shi took a sip of the cup and continued, "But Brother Chang knows that my guess is generally not wrong. ”

"Didn't Brother Xian never miss it?"

Su Shi said lightly: "At least in business, I can't be wrong." ”

Chang Muhua stared at Su Shi for a long time, as if he wanted to see him clearly, Su Shi raised his wine glass and smiled at him.

"Thank you, brother." Chang Muhua's expression returned to normal, and he hurriedly raised his wine glass, "If it weren't for the virtuous brother, the foolish brother would really be ruined this time." ”

"Break the fortune and avoid disaster." Su Shi said slowly, "I think it's better for Brother Chang to break some money." ”

Chang Muhua laughed a few times and said, "Cooperating with the virtuous brother to do business will only make a lot of money, but I'm afraid that it will be difficult for me to break the bank." ”

Immediately, he looked at Su Shi again: "Since Brother Xian knows that what Tianbao Pavilion has done is a deception, he must be preparing to do something to it?" ”

Su Shi looked surprised and said, "Why did I do it?" What hands? ”

This sentence made Chang Muhua stunned on the spot, and it took a long time to react.

"Tianbao Pavilion is cheating everywhere, doesn't the virtuous brother care?"

Su Shi said with a smile: "As Brother Chang said, Tianbao Pavilion is returning the principal and interest according to the agreement, and I didn't invest money in it, since I am a court official and not a victim, why deal with it?" Besides, even if Tianbao Pavilion has cheating, naturally the yamen will take action, so what does it matter to me? ”

Chang Muhua looked very surprised, and then stared at Su Shi with sharp eyes, as if he wanted to know whether his words were true or false.

Su Shi leisurely picked up the crystal cup, tasted it, slowly put down the cup, and said slowly: "There is only one situation where I will make a move." ”

Chang Muhua blurted out: "What's the situation?" ”

"Of course, when it endangers my interests or my friends, I will only intervene against them." Su Shi looked at Chang Muhua with a smile, revealing a look that Chang Muhua couldn't understand, "It's like I'm here today to stop Brother Chang from throwing money into Tianbao Pavilion." ”

Chang Muhua hurriedly raised his glass to Su Shi and said: "After talking to Tianbao Pavilion last time, I was confused by their rhetoric, if there is no virtuous brother to remind me today, the foolish brother will definitely be deceived by him." The foolish brother was grateful, and first thanked him with a glass of water and wine. ”

Su Shi picked up the crystal cup, but did not raise his glass to drink it, and his expression suddenly became extremely gloomy. He shook the crystal glass gently, and the wine in the crystal glass seemed to be in his mood one after another.

After a long time, Su Shi sighed quietly: "It's a pity that my other friend won't believe my words, I'm worried about him now." ”

"Could it be that he also voted for the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion?"

Su Shi didn't seem to be able to even drink the wine, so he put down the wine glass and sighed: "He voted for the Agarwood Hall." ”

Then he looked at Chang Muhua quietly, and his tone was full of pain: "I wanted to persuade him again, but after yesterday's unitary hour, I couldn't find him." ”
