After Qin Ming and Li Xianzhi agreed on the delivery date, they asked Qingwan and the girls to help choose some dresses for Xiao Changxi and the girls. Then he said goodbye to Li Xianzhi and his sister and left the clothing store.
At the door of the shop, Li Chongyi looked at the retreating figures of Qin Ming and others, his eyes full of reluctance.
He turned around and looked at his sister's eyes full of resentment, and said something strangely.
"Sister, do you like Brother Qin?"
Li Xianzhi's face turned red when she heard this, and she became angry and said:
"What nonsense are you talking about? Sister doesn't like him!"
Li Chongyi patted his chest, breathed a sigh of relief and said:
"It seems that I have overthought it. Sister, you are self-aware. With your fierce temper, sister, how can you be worthy of a humble gentleman like Brother Qin?"
Li Xianzhi was furious when he heard this, grabbed Li Chongyi's ear, and gritted his teeth and said:
"Why is this princess so unworthy of him? Ah? You have the guts, tell me again?"
Li Chongyi stood on tiptoes, swung his hands in front of his chest, and said with a grin:
"Sister, are you so annoying at all times? Not to mention a great talent like Brother Qin, even an ordinary man can't stand your temper!"
"Well, Li Chongyi, you've made your mark, haven't you? Isn't it enough for you to arrange things for me in secret? Now you dare to say it in person? Look how I deal with you today!"
After saying that, Li Xianzhi grabbed Li Chongyi's ear and entered the clothing store.
Upon seeing this, the waiters and shopkeepers in the clothing store turned their heads one after another, pretending not to see anything, and continued to do their work.
Obviously this was not the first time they had seen this scene.
------
After Qin Ming and his party visited Ximeng Tower and the vegetable shop, they left Chang'an City.
By the time everyone returned to Lantian County House, it was already dark.
After the carriage stopped, Qin Da gently knocked on the door a few times and whispered:
"Sir, we are home."
Several people in the carriage woke up after hearing the sound.
Maybe they were tired from shopping today. Not long after they got on the carriage, several people fell asleep one after another.
Qin Ming opened his eyes, wanted to stretch, and raised his arms. Only then did he realize that his arms were sore and numb. If he looked carefully, he could still find saliva marks on both sleeves.
He looked suspiciously at Xiao Qingwan and Sishe sitting on both sides. Seeing the two women turning their heads and looking away, they couldn't help but feel reassured.
When the carriage just stopped, Sishe had already woken up. She didn't know why she fell asleep holding Qin Ming's arm along the way.
At this time, he was afraid that Qin Ming would see the clues, so he coughed lightly and said:
"Sir, I will go down first."
After saying that, Sishe stood up, opened the curtain, and ran out of the carriage in a hurry.
Seeing this, Bai Lizhi smiled at Qin Ming and jumped out of the carriage.
Qin Ming shook his head and said to Xiao Qingwan:
"Wan'er, let's go down too."
Xiao Qingwan nodded obediently, then approached Qin Ming and whispered:
"Sir, did you seem to be shy just now?"
Qin Ming stretched out his hand on Xiao Qingwan's nose, scratched it and said:
"You are the only one who is smart!"
After saying that, the two of them also got off the carriage.
Xiao Changxi, who had been waiting at the door for a long time, breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Qin Ming coming back. She walked down the steps and saluted Qin Ming:
"Sir, why did you come back so late? Did you encounter anything on the way?"
Qin Ming smiled and shook his head, then pointed to the carriage and said:
"After finishing my errands, I went to Ximeng Tower and the vegetable shop. I also bought some gifts for you and Zijun. You can arrange for the maid to take them to Qingxinyuan later."
Xiao Qingwan on the side walked up to Xiao Changxi, took Xiao Changxi's arm with a smile and said:
"Auntie, do you think I'm wearing this dress?"
Only then did Xiao Changxi realize that Xiao Qingwan had changed her outfit and looked more elegant. She reached out and touched Xiao Qingwan's dress and said in surprise:
"Is this Shu Brocade?"
Xiao Qingwan nodded, and then said in surprise:
"Auntie, you actually recognized it as Shu brocade after touching it casually? How amazing!"
As the legitimate daughter of the Xiao family, Xiao Changxi lived in fine clothing and food when she was a child, so she had worn silk, silk and brocade from all over the Tang Dynasty.
Thinking of what happened when she was a child, a flash of reminiscence flashed in Xiao Changxi's eyes.
She rubbed Xiao Qingwan's head and said:
"This is not a skill. If you wear it a few times in the future, you will naturally remember it."
Xiao Qingwan smiled and nodded when she heard this.
After a while,
Qin Ming washed up a little, changed out of his previous clothes, and strode into the restaurant.
As soon as he came in, Qin Ming saw Li Yuan holding a wine bowl in one hand and fish in another hand, eating happily in front of a plate of boiled fish at the table.
After taking a look, Uncle Fu stood next to Li Yuan, holding a wine bottle and bending down to pour wine.
Qin Ming raised his eyebrows, walked quickly to Li Yuan, and said helplessly:
"Grandpa, didn't we agree yesterday? You can only drink two taels a day. How can you keep your word?"
Li Yuan stiffened when he heard this, put down his chopsticks, stretched out his hand to protect the wine bowl, and then smiled sarcastically at Qin Ming:
"You kid, please don't accuse me unjustly. This is my first bowl. If you don't believe me, why don't you ask him?"
After speaking, he pointed at his old servant.
Uncle Fu bent over and looked at Qin Ming sincerely:
"Sir, the old master is right, this is indeed the first bowl."
Qin Mingchao rolled his eyes at the master and servant who were telling lies. How could eating a boiled fish make his face look like a monkey's butt?
Where are you two lying here, trying to fool this stupid boy?
However, as a junior, it was naturally difficult for him to expose Li Yuan face to face. After thinking about it, he said:
"Well, my grandson will believe you this time. However, we agreed that two taels a day will be two taels. You see, you have four taels in this bowl. This is not okay."
After saying that, Qin Ming took his wine bowl and placed it in front of Li Yuan.
"You have to pour half of it to me."
Li Yuan grimaced, stretched out a finger, looked at Qin Ming pitifully and said:
"Can you make an exception tonight?"
Qin Ming rolled his eyes and said:
"Is that possible? But today I got a Taoist method of brewing fairy wine from Taoist Master Sun's closed disciple. If you can control yourself during this period and only drink two taels a day, after the fairy wine is brewed, I will I’ll give you some more.”
"But if you always can't control yourself, then even if your grandson wants to let you try the fairy wine, I'm afraid he won't be able to do it?"
After listening to the first half of the sentence, Li Yuan couldn't help but get excited when he learned that Qin Ming actually got the method of brewing immortal wine from the old immortal.
He dared to say that he had drank all the good and beautiful wines in the world in his life, but he just didn't know what the wine this god drank tasted like.
Li Yuan became unhappy just after hearing the second half of the sentence. He slapped the table and said angrily:
"What do you mean, grandson? Why can't I do it?"
Qin Ming was not afraid at all when he heard this. The old god sat on the chair and said with a smile:
"Because Taoist Master Sun said that this fairy wine must be drunk by strong people. People with weak bodies cannot drink it. There is a saying in Xu Zhi that a weak person cannot be replenished!"
Li Yuan nodded slightly when he heard this, which seemed to be that he agreed with the statement.
After a slight hesitation, Li Yuan reached out to pick up the wine bowl, put it in front of Qin Ming with a smile and said:
"That's it, I'll stop drinking today and drink the fairy wine later!"
Qin Ming was very satisfied with the result, then he greeted Li Yuan and started eating.
