Chapter 358: Lies
"Thanks to Mr. He's compliments, I won't be polite, little brother. From now on, I will call you Mr. He, okay?"
Bi Yuntao picked up the wine pot, stood up and filled up the wine glass for Mr. He.
"That's so good! Hahaha!" Mr. He tasted a delicacy that moved his index finger. It is still fragrant in his mouth and has endless aftertaste. He was satisfied with it, which made him even more happy.
"Come! Brother Bi! Brother He is here to toast you."
"Third Brother He is too modest. How can you, Third Brother, respect the younger brother? It should be me, the younger brother, who respects Third Brother and you!"
"Hahaha! It's okay! You and I had a great time chatting. Your delicious food is very appealing to my appetite. Today, thanks to Brother Bi's care, I, He San, was invited to taste such delicious food. If anything happens in the future, I can come to He San at any time. Family, just tell your servants that you are my friend, He San, and they will naturally take you to find me."
"Then my respect is worse than obeying your orders, little brother." Bi Yuntao picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp. "If there is any difficulty in the future, please take care of Brother He."
"Hey! You and I don't have to be so polite!" Mr. He drank the wine together, waved his hands and said,
"Although I, He San, like to talk, I have a very good eye for recognizing people. Brother Bi, although you appear to be polite and knowledgeable on the surface, your gestures are extremely awkward and weird!"
"I, He San, want those sanctimonious hypocrites the most. They hide their words everywhere and are not open at all. But today, I fell in love with Brother Bi at first sight. I think Brother Bi should not be so vulgar in his heart. So why don't Brother Bi put down his disguise and do this? It will be much easier for you and me to get along."
"Hahaha! Brother He really has a keen eye. I didn't expect that my concealment was discovered by Brother He."
When Bi Yuntao's disguise was exposed, he stopped pretending. He immediately spread his hands and slumped down on the chair, with his legs crossed without any rules, and returned to his true nature.
"Oh! It's really tiring to pretend to be a young man and talk! It makes my back hurt. It's just a hard job."
"Hahaha! It's true!" Mr. He burst out laughing when he saw Bi Yuntao showing his true nature in front of him without any scruples.
"Brother He, what do you mean by this? Is there something wrong with my pretense?" Bi Yuntao was very surprised. He had always been very confident in his disguise. Could it be that he had revealed some flaws and was seen through by Third Brother He?
"That's not true. You pretended to be perfect, but that's it!" A smile appeared on the corner of Mr. He's mouth, "But no matter how you pretend, you can see through it at a glance when you meet old people like us, but you will fall into trouble. .”
"After all, no matter how much you disguise yourself, it's hard to hide the unruly nature engraved in your bones. It will be revealed in your inadvertent movements."
"So, it's better to show your true nature openly, so that you might be appreciated by some people."
"Hahaha! So that's it, I've learned a lesson!" Mr. He's remarks made Bi Yuntao suddenly enlightened. He picked up his wine glass and toasted to Mr. He, "Thank you, Mr. He, for your advice. I'll give you a toast."
"Hahaha! Brother Bi is out." Third Master He fully accepted Bi Yuntao's compliment, picked up the wine glass and drank it down with Bi Yuntao.
"By the way, Brother Bi! Brother He has something to ask. I don't know if I should ask!" Putting down his wine glass, Mr. He hesitated and asked tentatively.
"Third brother, you just said that I was too artificial and not happy enough! Why are you being coy now?"
"Hahaha! It seems that I am too cautious. Then I will ask bluntly. Ask Brother Bi where he is sad. Don't blame Brother He."
"But it doesn't matter! You are not the kind of narrow-minded man. You never take your brothers' unintentional words to heart."
"Hahaha! Brother Bi is really magnanimous! My third brother, He, really did not misjudge the person! I am sure of your brother!"
"Eh? Brother He, what you said is a bit offensive. I have been testing my brother just now. As a younger brother, I won't give in. You have to punish yourself with three cups!"
"Oops!" Third Master He clapped his mouth in frustration, "You don't know what you say, and you don't know what you say. Brother Bi, don't take it seriously! Third Brother, I will punish myself with three cups of wine!"
After drinking three glasses of fine wine in succession, Mr. He's face turned slightly red, he let out a wine burp, and ate several mouthfuls of soy sauce beef, which made his stomach feel a little better.
"Brother Bi, it's the second day of the Lunar New Year, which should be the time for reunion. Looking at your dress, you don't look like you come from a poor family. How could you leave your hometown and come here?"
"Hey!" Bi Yuntao didn't expect that Brother He would ask this question. The smile on his face disappeared in an instant, and his face was filled with sadness.
"If Brother Bi has something to hide, then it's okay not to say it. When we drink, we can't let these good wines and dishes go to waste!"
Seeing his appearance, Third Brother He realized that he was in trouble, asked some things he shouldn't have asked, and quickly changed the subject.
"Hey!" Bi Yuntao sighed again, "Actually, there is nothing that cannot be said. Brother He, you are not an outsider. Since you want to hear it, I will tell you."
"To be honest, I am from the capital city, but my family was in trouble, so I went away to find another way out. This time I came to Jinling City to seek help from the Xue family, hoping to revive the family."
"My father helped Mrs. Xue back then. He didn't ask for any reward. He just asked Mrs. Xue to make a guarantee."
"My father gave me a letter and a token before he died. He also said that as long as I show Mrs. Xue this letter and token, the Xue family can help me."
"So I rushed to Jinling last night and met Mrs. Xue. At first, Mrs. Xue was kind and pleasant, but I didn't expect that after I explained my intention to Mrs. Xue, Mrs. Xue had a look of disgust and contempt on her face. But fortunately, Mrs. You keep your word and agree to help me."
"However, Mrs. Xue put forward a condition. It is not impossible for her to fulfill the agreement she made back then. As long as I marry into her family and become the son-in-law of her Xue family, she will agree to help me!"
"My Bi family used to be one of the best in the capital. Even if the family has fallen into decline, the ancestral land deed left behind is still a considerable amount when sold."
"When Mrs. Xue said this condition, I understood what she was planning."
"When I heard Mrs. Xue say this, I immediately and sternly refused, but after seeing Miss Xue's appearance...hehehe!" Bi Yuntao said this and smiled shyly, "My heart was completely moved by her. Captured."
"So I just..."
"So you agreed?" Before Bi Yuntao could finish speaking, Third Brother He took over.
Bi Yuntao's eyes dodge, not daring to look into the eyes of Third Brother He. Third Brother He is not a fool, and he still doesn't understand what is going on with his appearance!
