Chapter 094 Hongmen Banquet
In front of the round table, sitting in the center seat, was a middle-aged man. Judging from his appearance, he seemed to be nearly fifty years old. He must be the contemporary Marquis of Yanzhou.
Song Boxian took a deep breath and bowed to him: "Junior Song Boxian, I have seen..." Song Boxian turned to look at Liu Zixi, and then said: "I have seen the monarch..."
Liu Shizhen had a straight face. When he heard the title Song Boxian, he couldn't hold back. He laughed three times. Seeing Liu Shizhen's appearance, Song Boxian really didn't understand the situation, so he said in a trembling voice: "Jun...junhou?" "
On the other hand, the middle-aged woman sitting next to Liu Shizhen complained to Liu Shizhen with a smile: "You think it's interesting for you to be like this? It's the first time Xiao Song came to our house, and he almost scared people..."
After saying that, he stood up and pointed to the chair in front of him: "Xiao Song, sit down quickly, don't be formal..."
"Oh, father..." Liu Zixi's tone was full of complaints: "If you scare Baekhyun, I won't listen to you anymore..."
As he said this, Liu Zixi stood aside with his lips pouting. When he heard this, Liu Shizhen assumed the aura of a king, looked Song Boxian up and down and said, "Really? Xiao Song, are you brave or timid?"
Song Boxian hesitated, really not knowing how to reply to this sentence.
Liu Shengzhou walked to the chair next to him and sat down, smiling: "Father, this is the first time Brother Song has come to our house, and he is also my sister's boyfriend. Let's weigh the importance."
"I'm going to do things, and you guys will teach me?"
Liu Shizhen scolded, then continued to look at Song Boxian: "Coming?"
"Coming?" Song Boxian stared, and then seeing Liu Shizhen's serious expression, he nodded tremblingly: "Ah, here it is..."
Liu Shizhen continued: "You came empty-handed?"
"Oh, father..." Liu Zixi sat next to Song Boxian: "How could Boxian come here empty-handed."
Song Boxian nodded, and saw a middle-aged and elderly man who looked like a butler entering the house carrying the Dukang wine brought by Song Boxian, and then opened the wine in front of Song Boxian. The aroma of the wine instantly filled the whole room.
"Oh," Liu Shizhen joked: "Dukang wine, at least two hundred years ago..."
Song Boxian handed over his hand: "The Lord is very knowledgeable. This... my father asked the younger generation to bring this. After all, it is the first time to visit the Lord. Even ordinary people cannot lose their etiquette."
Liu Shizhen glanced at the butler, and then chuckled: "Ordinary people?" Then he asked the butler to pour a glass of wine, which was mellow and not spicy in the throat: "Good wine... Ordinary people can't afford this wine... ."
Song Boxian laughed awkwardly and then waved his hand: "If you like it, I can bring this kind of wine from time to time."
"The relationship is so good..." Liu Shizhen raised his hand to interrupt his wife who was trying to stop him, and then nodded: "Only the Duke of Qin can produce such good wine. They have a noble family and want to find Du Kang who is more than two hundred years old. That’s impossible.”
Song Boxian was shocked when he heard this. Before he could react, Liu Zixi, who was sitting next to him, said, "Qin Duke's Palace? Father, what is Qin's Palace?"
Liu Shizhen glanced at his daughter, then at Song Boxian, but saw that this boy had no intention of explaining, so he did not expose Song Boxian, so he asked the butler to pour a glass of wine for Song Boxian himself, then raised his glass and said: "Xiao Song, It is your first time to come to the Yanzhou Marquis Mansion, so don’t be cautious. Let’s raise a glass. This is your first glass, and I would like to express my sincere gratitude to you..."
Song Boxian raised his glass tremblingly, then drank it all in one gulp...
"Okay," Liu Shizhen nodded: "The ancestors of the Song family were very drunk. I didn't expect that after so many generations, the rising stars still haven't lost the momentum of their ancestors."
Liu Zixi turned to look at Liu Shengzhou on her left: "Does father know Baekhyun's family?"
Liu Shengzhou did not answer directly, but just said: "Maybe..."
After three glasses of wine, Song Boxian's face turned red. He felt that the Dukang wine was really powerful. What he didn't expect was that after the fourth glass of wine, he drank and sat next to Liu Shizhen.
Seeing Song Boxian drinking more and more, Liu Zixi couldn't sit still and stepped forward to stop Liu Shizhen's hand from pouring the wine himself: "Father, you must have done it on purpose."
Liu Shizhen blushed, put down the wine container, then looked at Song Boxian who was already a little confused and said: "Xiao Song, I guess you have hidden some things from my girl, why don't you tell it yourself?"
Song Boxian shook his head and looked at Liu Shizhen in front of him: "Junhou is a good drinker...but...what happened? I really can't remember something."
Liu Shizhen looked at Liu Zixi and said with a smile: "This person's character will show up once he drinks too much wine. Secondly, after drinking this good wine, people will have a lot to say in their hearts."
Seeing Liu Zixi's confused face, Liu Shizhen turned to look at Song Boxian and said with a smile: "Xiao Song, tell me, you have at least three things to say."
Song Boxian was stunned on the spot. Seeing Liu Zixi and his family staring closely at him, he drank a lot and said slowly: "Zixi is my first girlfriend."
When Liu Zixi heard this, she blushed when she looked at her father and mother, feeling a little embarrassed. Even Liu Shengzhou looked at his sister and laughed.
"That's not the sentence..."
Liu Shizhen shook his head: "Something else."
"What else?" Song Boxian murmured: "The phlegm that suppressed the beast at the door was caused by me."
When the Liu family heard this, they all had a dark look on their faces.
Liu Shizhen took a deep breath and said, "That's not the case either."
Song Boxian looked around at everyone present and said, "It would be great if I invited you to the Hongmen Banquet..."
"Hongmen Banquet?"
The Liu family members all spoke up. When Liu Shizhen wanted to ask again, Song Boxian had already fallen down with a thud and fell straight into the hall. Fortunately, because it was winter, the hall was covered with soft carpets, so Song Boxian could not be hurt.
"wise man..."
Liu Zixi ran over in shock: "Oh, father, are you really asking your future son-in-law like this?"
"Future son-in-law?" Liu Shizhen asked, "Have you thought about it? If you marry him in the future, you won't be able to change him."
Mother Liu turned around: "What do you mean?"
Liu Shizhen then chuckled and started drinking by himself: "Uncle Liu, please tell Madam and the others."
The old housekeeper then bowed and said: "Madam, young lady, young master, the young master Song in front of me is from the Song family of the Duke of Qin."
"What?"
Liu Zixi was shocked...looking at Song Boxian who was already talking nonsense in his arms, he fell into deep thought.
...
Song Boxian felt dizzy when he woke up early in the morning. At that time, he saw Liu Zixi entering the room carrying a bowl of water.
"You're awake."
Song Boxian rubbed his head and sat up: "Zixi, how long have I been asleep?"
Liu Zixi handed the bowl in his hand to Song Boxian: "Drink, sober up. You drank too much last night, and then I sent you in."
Song Boxian took a sip without paying attention. Halfway through the mouth, the whole thing came out with a pop: "My eldest lady, will you bring me white wine to sober up so early in the morning?"
Liu Zixi didn't know either. He looked at Song Boxian and said, "I don't know either. My father sent it to the door, and I happened to meet him."
Song Boxian had a dark look on his face, always feeling that this Marquis of Yanzhou had evil intentions.
Liu Zixi said with a serious face: "Baixian, tell me if you have something to say."
Why does this sentence sound so familiar?
Song Boxian's eyes widened: "What, I'm a hostage?"
Liu Zixi shook his head: "No, you have at least three sentences to tell me."
"Um?"
Song Boxian always felt that this sentence was very familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere, so he tentatively replied: "I don't, I don't know how, I love you..."
Although Liu Zixi was silly and sweet, he was not horribly stupid. When Song Boxian said this, he immediately said angrily: "Okay, after a long time, you are already an expert in love."
Seeing Liu Zixi pouting and turning around, Song Boxian quickly got up, then took Liu Zixi's hand and said, "I drank too much, and I got on the wrong line. Zixi, you ask me questions."
Liu Zixi turned around: "Tell me, why do you want to hide your identity?"
Ding.
Song Boxian was stunned for a moment, and then he felt bad. It seemed that his identity was no longer guaranteed. However, he still took a chance and said, "My identity is just like that."
Seeing Song Boxian's dead pig not afraid of boiling water, Liu Zixi became very angry: "You are still pretending. If Uncle Liu hadn't revealed your identity last night, it turns out that our family has been kept in the dark by you, isn't it? I am the only one in our family who is still being hidden by you."
Seeing that he couldn't hide it anymore, Song Boxian whispered softly: "Now that Zixi you know my identity, do you think it's embarrassing for me to be a bastard?"
On the contrary, since he is not the eldest son of the Duke of Qin and cannot inherit the title of Duke of Qin, it is indeed an embarrassing existence.
Liu Zixi raised his neck and said: "You mean, I am also an embarrassing existence at home?"
Song Boxian sat up and put on his clothes: "You are different. You are a girl. When you get married, you will marry a chicken and a dog. Look at me again. You are the dignified eldest daughter of the Marquis of Yanzhou. You will marry anyone in the future. He is the son of a noble family."
"Song Boxian, please speak clearly." Liu Zixi said angrily: "Do you mean that I am not worthy of you?"
Song Boxian knew that he had said the wrong thing, so he quickly apologized and slapped himself twice in the mouth hypocritically. Then he said: "My Zixi, I didn't mean that. What I meant was that if your parents don't agree with our affairs, , can you make the decision?"
Liu Zixi waved his hand: "Now that your identity has been exposed, my father did not refuse. It will be more legitimate for the two of us to get together."
Song Boxian talked a lot again, and then finally talked Liu Zixi through.
"I understand now." Liu Zixi suddenly realized: "No wonder Han Shijia is stalking you. I guess she knew your identity a long time ago and did it on purpose."
Song Boxian waved his hand: "How is it possible? I am a concubine and I don't have any title at all. If she wants to be elected, it must be my eldest brother and the others."
Liu Zixi suddenly sneered, which really scared Song Boxian.
"Would the eldest son of the Duke of Qin be interested in the daughter of a vassal prince?"
"Zixi, Gao..."
Song Baoxian raised his thumb.
