From the outside, this tavern with the simple style of the Qin and Han dynasties, it seems that it has not been repaired for decades, the traces of the years are fully revealed, and the people lack the interest of stepping in, but when they enter the tavern, they are inevitably surprised, but the inside is extremely popular, more than a dozen tables, almost full, very lively.

People have greeted Guo Xiang, and resumed their own noise, the two-story tavern, steaming, the wine is fragrant, it is indeed a very suitable atmosphere for drinking.

Following this Xiao Zhao bartender through the crowd and stepping on the second floor, Xiao Yuesheng and Guo Xiang's snow-white mink fur looked a little out of place here, but people didn't think it was different, for this heroic Miss Guo Er, people had no sense of distance, and greeted each other cordially from time to time.

Going up to the second floor, where there were not many seats, it was also very quiet, and the two of them found a place where they could see below, just leaning against the faded paint railing.

After Xiao Zhao took off the white towel on his shoulders and wiped the tables and chairs neatly, Guo Xiang couldn't wait to sit down, full of interest, and seemed to be singing happily everywhere around him.

"Hmm, what kind of wine do you have?" Guo Xiang's white index finger pressed his sharp chin, frowned and thought about it, hesitated, and said to Xiao Zhao, who was looking at him: "Let's go to the Ice and Fire Bar first!"

"Okay-!A jar of ice and fire wine!" Xiao Zhao shouted brightly, hurriedly bowed, and hurriedly fled, under Xiao Yuesheng's faint majesty, he trembled twice, almost fell to the ground, and he couldn't hold it anymore.

Knowing that his brother-in-law was extremely picky, Guo Xiang was embarrassed, and finally picked the strongest wine in this tavern, when it comes to mellow aroma, all the wine here is difficult to beat and a few kinds of green and purple, and he can only hope to attract him with its fierceness.

"This place really doesn't look like a place of war!" Xiao Yuesheng looked around, sighed with emotion, and lazily took off the mink fur and cloak on his body.

Guo Xiang hurriedly got up and took his brother-in-law's mink fur, and then took off his own, folded it carefully, and put it on the chair next to him.

The thin apricot yellow shirt did not feel cold in this steaming room, but revealed her slender figure.

Guo Xiang put his arm on the old tabletop and supported his delicate and pointed chin: "Although Xiangyang City is always attacked, it is not afraid, the Mongols are coming, and it is not too late for the people in the city to retreat!"

In fact, since the implementation of the scorched earth strategy in Xiangyang City, most of the people in the city have withdrawn, but every Spring Festival, the Mongols must not be able to send troops, and every festival is full of relatives, during the Spring Festival, people always return to the city, and the popularity of the place is strong again.

When the Mongols came to send troops, people withdrew from the city and hid elsewhere, and the people in Xiangyang lived in two places a year, which became a habit.

"The wine here must be very good, so you come often. Xiao Yuesheng made fun of his sister-in-law, looked sideways at the people below, pushed the cup and changed the lamp, in full swing, and the bold cheers and scolding laughter sounded from time to time, bold and fierce, and the people in Jiangnan that Xiao Yue saw in his life were really different.

Guo Xiang was a little shy and embarrassed. Some regret bringing their brother-in-law here, they like to drink, but it is not a woman's virtue.

"Second Miss, I haven't seen you for a few days-! I heard that you went to the eldest lady's house?"

Suddenly, a hoarse voice came from downstairs, waking up Guo Xiang, who was immersed in remorse.

"Yes, Second Uncle Sun, I'm going to the eldest sister's house!" Guo Xiangjiao's body turned sideways. Holding on to the railing, he replied downstairs with a smile.

Ying Ying's eyes looked at the middle-aged man downstairs near the door. A full beard, under a short brown coat. The body is strong and strong, and its hoarse voice adds to the heroic temperament.

Although in the noise, Guo Xiang's voice was soft and gentle, but it sounded clearly in their ears, making the room a lot quieter, even though people were still talking, their eyes glancing from time to time, their ears pricked up, paying attention to Guo Xiang.

"Then, how is the eldest lady doing?" The man surnamed Sun, who had bright eyes, looked anxious, but his words were a little hesitant and a little embarrassed.

The eyes of everyone in the tavern suddenly converged, and they fell on Guo Xiang, no longer caring about pretending, and the concern was overflowing.

"Very good, the eldest sister couldn't be better!" Guo Xiang replied casually, still smiling and feasting, and was not afraid of everyone's attention.

"That's good! That's good! If the eldest lady is bullied there, the people of our entire Xiangyang City will not spare the eldest aunt!" The big man surnamed Sun breathed a sigh of relief, sometimes relaxed, sometimes gritted his teeth.

"Then I'll thank you on behalf of the eldest sister!" Guo Xiang grinned, glanced at his brother-in-law opposite, and saw his wry smile, and smiled even more happily.

"I said, Sun Er, put your heart in your stomach!" A few tables away, another voice sounded, also very loud, the person who made the voice was lion-nosed and wide-mouthed, powerful and strong, sitting upright at the table, his sturdy body was as straight as loose, with an awe-inspiring murderous aura.

At this time, he was pinching a sea bowl, swallowing a mouthful of wine, wiping the corners of his mouth with his sleeve, and laughing: "With the unparalleled appearance of the eldest lady, what man in the world can bear to bully her?!"

"Exactly!" and "polite!" echoed the voices.

In their minds, the eldest lady of Guo Mansion is really a fairy-like character, not only beautiful and beautiful, but also gentle and quiet, even if her temperament is indifferent, but it is even more unworldly, who can marry her as a wife, it is really a blessing from the tenth generation, how can you not look at it as a treasure?!

Everyone's discussion entered the ears of Xiao Yuesheng and Guo Xiang, and then looked at his brother-in-law with a smile, unusually bold, his eyes did not blink, and he focused on studying every frown raised by his brother-in-law, or pulled the corners of his mouth.

Listening to the discussions downstairs, they all regarded themselves as the role of a spicy hand destroying flowers, as if they would definitely abuse Guo Fu, which really made him smile bitterly.

"Auntie, second miss, the wine is here!" The bartender Xiao Zhao came to Xiao Yuesheng's table and barely squeezed out a smile.

He held a half-large wine jar weighing about five catties in one hand, and a square plate in the other hand, a plate of braised beef and a plate of plain side dishes on the plate, like a butterfly wearing flowers, passed from the table and chairs to the upstairs, and the scene made people can't help but sweat for him, but he was steady.

"Oh, thank you Xiao Zhao!" Guo Xiang stretched out his white and crystal small hand. After taking over the swarthy wine jar, the expression on her face was quite complicated, which made Xiao Yuesheng look at it and couldn't help but smile secretly.

Xiao Zhao hurriedly saluted and retreated, the rhythm of his steps was several times different from when he came.

Guo Xiang skillfully turned over the two large bowls that were buckled upside down in the center of the table, and wiped the white and crystal small hands on the mouth of the wine jar, wiped off the sealing mud, and the mellow fragrance suddenly came to his nose.

Guo Xiang couldn't help but inhale deeply, this mellow fragrance really couldn't be refused, and carefully tilted the wine jar. The slightly yellowed wine was poured into a rather rough clay bowl.

"Brother-in-law, you taste. The Ice and Fire Wine here is unique, and there is no other semicolon. Guo Xiang put down the swarthy wine jar, smiled and pushed the full black pottery bowl to Xiao Yuesheng.

"Oh-?" Xiao Yuesheng was a little interested, for the contents of the cup, he only drank it as a drink, after all, drinking water was too boring, and when he saw a new drink, he was a little excited and curious.

"Good wine!" Xiao Yuesheng put down the big bowl and couldn't help but slap the table and praise loudly.

It is not easy to get his praise, and ordinary good wine, in his mouth, is only barely able to drink.

Not to mention that he is a picky person, he is an ordinary person, who has drunk wine such as green purple and purple wine, and then drinks other wines. It is inevitable that it is like drinking white water, and it is tasteless to drink.

A large sip of wine flowed down his throat into his abdomen, and he felt like an ice fountain in the summer, cold to his heart, and before he had time to taste it, a fire suddenly rose in his belly, rushed into the top of his head, and exploded like fireworks. It opens the pores of the whole body, and it is indescribably comfortable.

Guo Xiang picked up the big bowl with two small hands. I took a sip with my head up, and spilled a few drops by the way.

"Good wine—!" she put down her bowl. sighed comfortably, and didn't use Jinpa, just wiped the delicate snow-white corners of his mouth with his apricot yellow sleeves, and his attitude was very proud.

"Yo-!" Isn't this the money boss, but it hasn't been here for a while!"

There was a sudden noise below, so that the two of them, who were concentrating on tasting wine, couldn't help but turn around and look down, and saw a person lifting the thick felt curtain and walking in calmly, and the people around him greeted him one after another.

"Who is this?" Xiao Yuesheng leaned forward and asked softly, looking at Guo Xiang with a red peach.

"Uncle Qian is a businessman, and the story is well told. Guo Xiangming's eyes swept downstairs, returned to his brother-in-law's face, and replied quietly.

Although Guo Xiang likes to drink, when it comes to the amount of alcohol, there is a world of difference between her and her sister Guo Fu, and the ice and fire wine is incomparable.

That Uncle Qian was in his forties, of medium stature, not fat or thin, with a weathered face, but his eyes were bright, and his spirit was extremely elusive, and he kept arching his hands, greeting him step by step, and found a bright and upright position in the lobby, and sat down at a table where only three people were seated.

"Old Qian, I heard that you went to Lin'an this time?" After he finished ordering the wine and food, the man at the same table couldn't wait to ask.

"Yes, I went to Lin'an City. Lao Qian nodded, drooped his eyes, took out a cloth bag from his arms, took out a cigarette bag pot from the cloth bag, filled it with tobacco neatly, lit the fire, took a heavy breath, and then spit out white smoke, his brows stretched.

"It's going well, right? I heard that the road wasn't smooth!" someone next to him asked.

"Hehe, don't say it, it's true, it's really not peaceful!"

Old Qian laughed, this bag of cigarettes seemed to make him refreshed, his eyes lit up, his voice was loud, and the voice of the entire tavern was suppressed.

Without waiting for others to answer, he shook his head and sighed with a palpitating look on his face: "This time, I have to listen to the advice of the old grandson and take the car of Ziming Che Company, otherwise, I won't be able to see everyone!"

"Well, if you go to that less peaceful area, you still have to take the Ziming car. Someone next to him chimed in.

"Old Qian, did you go to Jiaxing City?"

"Didn't go!" Old Qian spat out the smoke, shook his head, and then laughed: "However, the eldest lady has inquired about some news!"

"Is there news from the eldest lady?!" Tell me quickly, isn't the family she married from Jiaxing City?!"

Someone couldn't wait to ask, and the people around him who were drinking all looked at him, obviously this question was deeply in line with everyone's hearts.

"Our eldest aunt is not a simple character, he has a lakeside residence in Lin'an City, which is famous, and everyone in Lin'an City knows it!"

"Oh, there are rumors that the famous Heavenly Thunder God Claw in the martial arts is a disciple of the eldest aunt!

"It's true, this news is absolutely true! Everyone in Guo Mansion knows about this matter, but Guo Daxia is modest and ordered to come down, and no one will spread it!"

"No wonder! No wonder the eldest lady knows that her uncle has a wife, but she still has to marry her, it turns out that the eldest aunt is such a powerful person!"

The sound of exclamation kept ringing, and people showed a look of sudden realization, and couldn't help but raise a bowl to drink.

"What is a master? Like the eldest aunt, you are a master!" One person shook his head in admiration, floated white, wiped the corners of his mouth with his sleeves, and sighed as if he was an old Xiucai reading: "Hidden deeply, real people don't show their faces! This is a master!"

Guo Xiang, who was flushed with peach cheeks, listened to the discussion of everyone downstairs, pursed his lips and looked at his brother-in-law with a smile, and saw that he was actually calm, gently shaking the rough pottery bowl, just staring at the half bowl of wine, as if she had never heard the following admiration, and was a little surprised, she originally thought that her brother-in-law would shake his head and smile bitterly.

For these words, Xiao Yuesheng had already listened to yesterday's numbness, and he didn't feel fresh at all, his left ear went in, his right ear came out, or his right ear went in, and his left ear came out, his attention was all focused on the ice and fire wine in the bowl, and he had already developed a strong interest in this wine.

"The eldest lady is really discerning-!" The final praise came down to their eldest lady.

"Old Qian, have you seen the eldest lady in Lin'an City?"

"The eldest lady didn't see it, but I just heard others talk about it, hehe, there is a major thing in Lin'an City, everyone must want to hear it!" Old Qian held a cigarette bag and pot in one hand and a big bowl in the other, his weather-covered face showed a mysterious color, and his bright eyes swept around.

Everyone was accustomed to his betrayal, but they hated it, so they lowered their heads and drank, not bothering him, or drinking with the people around them.

Seeing that everyone was ignoring him so much, Lao Qian hatefully drank all the wine in the bowl, put it heavily on the table, shook his head and sighed: "Alas, forget it, I don't care about you, Sunflower Treasure Book, has anyone heard of it?"

Everyone shook their heads, although they pretended not to care, but the anecdotes of Lao Qian had a strong attraction to them.
