The wine in Meng Hetong Courtyard is indeed quite old. The moment I opened it, the aroma of the wine overflowed. Even Xie Suyu, who doesn’t usually drink much, couldn’t help but take a sniff: “What a fragrant wine!”
Meng Hetong looked at the open wine jar in front of him, with a flash of pain in his eyes, which was then covered up by a smile: "My father brewed this the year I was born!"
"Oh?" Xu Yanquan raised his eyebrows, "That shouldn't be the case. Don't we always make wine when our daughter is born and save it for her daughter to drink when she gets married? Is it possible that when you were born, you were originally a girl?"
"Go!" Meng Hetong said "poof", and then said, "When my mother was pregnant, the doctor who treated her made a mistake and thought I was a daughter. The old man in my family likes girls the most, but he doesn't The thought of giving birth to a baby with a handle also hurt my mother's body, leaving me alone!"
Xu Qingmo looked at Meng Hetong. When he said these words, there was still some faint and unnoticeable pain in his eyes: "My father is a master of wine making, and these wines are particularly well preserved. Today, you are also in luck. , otherwise this wine will have to wait until I get married before I can take it out."
Xu Qingmo raised his head and glanced at Meng Hetong, and then said softly: "Fortunately, you took it out today, otherwise, we might not be able to drink this wine in this life!"
Everyone was silent at first, and then burst into laughter.
Even the maid who brought the side dishes couldn't help but laugh secretly.
Meng Hetong placed a whole plate of cheese in front of Xu Qingmo: "I can't even stop your mouth from eating it!"
"I haven't eaten yet, why am I stuck!" Xu Qingmo snorted.
Meng Hetong rolled his eyes to the sky: "I am considered a young talent after all, how can I not get a wife? You are too bad at talking!"
"I'm telling the truth! He's still a young talent. How can there be a young talent who lingers in a brothel all day long?" Xu Qingmo glanced at Meng Hetong, picked up the cheese on the side, and ate every bite.
When Princess Zhengyang saw that Xu Qingmo was eating deliciously, she couldn't help but ask: "Is it delicious?"
Xu Qingmo nodded and pushed the cheese in front of Princess Zhengyang: "It's delicious, try it!"
Princess Zhengyang picked up the chopsticks on the side and carefully took a piece to taste. Her every move was dignified and gentle.
Xu Qingmo looked at Princess Zhengyang's movements and suddenly felt a little emotional: "The princess eats very elegantly!"
"Mo Mo is also very elegant!" Princess Zhengyang said quickly.
"She was all faking it!" Meng Hetong exposed her mercilessly. "She usually wields swords and guns at every turn. How could she be elegant from the bottom of her heart? She just pretended to be so in order not to embarrass the Xu family. It’s just decent!”
"I want you to talk nonsense!" Xu Qingmo stepped on Meng Hetong's foot.
Meng Hetong grinned hoarsely in pain, and it took him a long time to break free: "Look, where is the elegance? She is just a tigress!"
"What's wrong with the tigress? A tigress is better than a paper tiger like you!" Xu Qingmo didn't care about the random nicknames Meng Hetong gave her, "No one is born elegant and dignified!"
Princess Zhengyang looked at Xu Qingmo for a long time, and then said: "Yes, in this world, no one is born dignified, but they are just pretending for the sake of dignity, their own dignity, and the dignity of their family!"
Xu Yanquan turned his head slightly and looked at Princess Zhengyang. After a long time, he said softly: "That's for outsiders. In front of your own people, you should look like that. If you have to hold it in front of your own people, then this It’s so hard to live a life like this!”
Xie Suyu looked at Princess Zhengyang, then at Xu Yanquan, and then said to Zhengyang: "Yanquan has a good temper, you can do whatever you want, and you are not in the palace, so you won't do it all the time. Someone is watching you!"
Zhengyang was a little confused. She was probably used to obeying the rules in the palace. Suddenly someone told him that she didn't have to obey the rules like this, but she was not used to it.
"Oh, stop talking about this. Try the wine that Meng Hetong praised so much. If it doesn't taste good, let's let him drink all the wine by himself!" Xu Qingmo saw Zhengyang's face full of confusion, Quickly change the subject.
"Yes, yes, come on, try this wine and see if it is as good as he said!" He Wenlin quickly agreed.
Xu Qingmo poured a small glass for Zhengyang and put it into her hand: "This wine is a bit strong. Princess, just have a drink. Don't be greedy!"
Zhengyang looked at the small glass of wine in her hand, with a smile in her eyes. She lowered her head and took a careful sip. This was very different from the fruit wine they usually drank. It was much more mellow, and the entrance Spicy and endless aftertaste.
Zhengyang was a little surprised, so he leaned into Xu Qingmo's ear and asked softly: "Do you drink this kind of wine on weekdays?"
Xu Qingmo nodded: "I have been drinking some since I was a child!"
"On weekdays, I can only drink some fruit wine at most. My mother said that drinking too much will make me lose my temper. She doesn't let me drink more on weekdays!" Zhengyang looked at Xu Qingmo and said cautiously.
"In the future, when the princess becomes my sister-in-law, I won't have such scruples!" Xu Qingmo whispered in Zhengyang's ear, "Our family doesn't have these rules. When I was very young, my father He will give me some wine to taste. The bigger the drink, the better! If the princess doesn’t mind, you can come to me from time to time and close the door. Even if we drink too much, we won’t let others see it!"
When Zhengyang heard Xu Qingmo say "sister-in-law", her cheeks were already red, but in a rare moment, she nodded: "As long as you don't mind me being annoying, I will come often!"
"I don't mind it, I don't mind it, I definitely don't mind it!" Xu Qing smiled, and then gave Zhengyang some more wine.
Meng Hetong's wine was indeed quite powerful, and Zhengyang fell down soon after.
When Xie Suyu returned from settling down in Zhengyang, he saw Xu Qingmo standing outside alone. He must have drunk a little too much and was blowing the wind to disperse the alcohol smell.
"Your Highness!" Xu Qingmo bowed politely when he saw Xie Su Yu.
Xie Suyu looked at Xu Qingmo for a long time, and then couldn't help but ask: "You are good at riding horses, archery, and playing chess. Why don't you tell me, what else can you not do?"
Xu Qingmo didn't expect that Xie Suyu would suddenly ask her this question so blindly. She thought for a while and then said, "Does embroidery count?"
"ah?"
"I'm not very good at embroidery!" Xu Qingmo said helplessly, "Since I was a child, I have learned everything that other ladies should learn. I am not outstanding at playing music, chess, calligraphy and painting, but I am also good at it. Apart from embroidery !”
