Sun Houpu returned to the Forbidden City with a look of resentment on his face, and happened to meet Liang Chuan with stones. The two had nothing to do, and made an appointment to settle several matters in Luze Garden.
Sun Houpu looked listless, like a defeated rooster. No matter how difficult business was in recent years, it was rare to see this expression on his face.
As soon as he returned to the Forbidden City, Sun Houpu hid in his house in despair, saying nothing to anyone he saw.
Shitou had never seen Sun Houpu look like this, and asked Liang Chuan again and again: "What's wrong with him?"
Liang Chuan is really busy these days. He wants to turn several welfare homes into reality. The difficulty is no less than when he was planning to build the Forbidden City. He even encounters more problems.
The Forbidden City deals with wealthy people. In their eyes, problems that money can solve are not problems. In the eyes of the poor, no matter how small the matter is, it is nothing. They will only focus on the petty profits in front of them and hold on to it!
Liang Chuan didn't even frown. Having experienced strong winds and waves, he now sees life as nothing more than life and death. Sun Houpu and himself still have stones. There are several people who have been through the tiger's den and the dragon's pond. What else can make them unable to do it? Relieve, there is only one thing!
That damn love!
"Where has he been today?" Liang Chuan asked.
Shitou said: "I met Brother Hou when I went to the escort agency in the morning. He seemed to have gone to the west of the city to find Miss Xia. He looked like this when he came back!"
Liang Chuan said helplessly: "I'm probably angry!"
"Huh? Why are you so angry?" Shitou looked confused!
Liang Chuan patted Shi Shi's back and said: "You are still young. You don't know how to feel sorrow when you are young. You force yourself to say new words to describe old sorrows. You can only experience this for yourself when you meet the girl you like one day. Otherwise, no matter how much I tell you, you If you don’t think I’m sick, you’ll think your brother Hou is sick too!”
Shitou looked confused when he heard this, could it really be so serious?
"Tell Jin Yao to prepare some food and wine. The wine should be a certain amount of Du Kang or Lao Bai Fen. I will have a drink with your brother Hou later to relieve the depression in his heart!"
Shitou still looked confused and asked: "Is it useful? Brother Hou looks like he's not in the mood to have a drink!"
Liang Chuan said like a life mentor: "You don't understand. Although the old saying goes that a heart disease requires a heart medicine, there is basically no cure for this disease. However, a drunken drink can relieve thousands of worries. Are you afraid that a mere heart disease cannot be cured?"
At night, Sun Houpu was alone on the rooftop. The August wind brought the chill of the north, and it stung his face a bit.
Liang Chuan brought a large jar of wine prepared by Shitou and Lao Baifen, and led Shitou up to the rooftop.
Shitou was curious about how Liang Chuan was going to enlighten Sun Houpu, so he insisted on following him up to the rooftop.
Sun Houpu looked at the lights of thousands of houses, his eyes were very blurred, this is a typical symptom of an infatuated boy.
Jin Yao laid out a table of dishes that were not too sumptuous. Liang Chuan looked at them and nodded, and Jin Yao withdrew.
"What are you doing here? I want to be alone!" Sun Houpu's words were hoarse, and his mood was extremely heavy.
Liang Chuan responded to Shitou's words: "Do you still remember the scene when we three brothers were eating dirt and looking at the stars in the desert?"
Shitou said excitedly: "Using the sky as my bed and the earth as my bed, lying drunk on the battlefield and laughing about life. It was the first time I saw such a magnificent and desolate scenery. I will never forget it!"
"Is Bianjing City more beautiful or the scenery of Dingchuan Village more beautiful?" Liang Chuan said without saying a word, setting out the wine bowls, a large white porcelain bowl, just three of them.
Shitou thought for a while and said: "There are fireworks in Bianjing City, thousands of lights are shining brightly, Dingchuan Village is endless as far as the eye can see, each has its own merits!"
Liang Chuan lifted the wine jar and tore off the sealing mud on it. A mellow aroma accumulated over the years came out. This pure grain wine is one of the oldest wine-making methods and the most authentic wine flavor. Although the alcohol content could not reach the concentration of later generations, the applause was endless and refreshing.
"Wow, this wine is amazing, I'm going to be drunk just after taking a sniff!"
The characteristics of Fenjiu are its pleasant fragrance, strong but not overpowering flavor, and overflowing fragrance. It is perfect for those who are trying white wine for the first time.
Liang Chuan filled three big bowls and said to the stone, "Drink this big bowl first!"
Although Shi Shi didn't know how to drink, Liang Chuan made him drink as much as he could
It was a bowl of poisonous wine and he blew it without hesitation! A bowl full of yellowed old Baifen, Shi Shi just held his neck and drank it to the end!
"How about it!"
"It's so spicy! It's like eating hot pot. My throat and stomach are all burning!"
"Eat some food quickly to suppress the smell!"
Shitou hurriedly picked up the chopsticks and put big mouthfuls of food into his mouth!
Sun Houpu secretly glanced at the stone and thought to himself, you are still too young to fall for Liang Chuan's ways so quickly. Is Liang Chuan's drinking capacity comparable to that of ordinary people? Do you want to learn his drinking method?
Liang Chuan also paid attention to Sun Houpu, and raised the corner of his mouth slightly, as if to tell Sun Houpu: "Where did we just talk about, oh, by the way, where do you think the scenery is beautiful, Stone?"
With the smell of alcohol in your head and the rocks choking on you, how could you still be in the mood to care about the beautiful scenery?
Liang Chuan also raised his wine bowl and drank the huge amount of wine in one gulp. Still not happy after drinking, he poured another bowl himself, and drank it all again under the eyes of the two of them. Er Jing!
The alcohol content of this wine is about the same as that of beer at best. It’s almost slightly smoky after drinking a bottle. It’s a bit hard to get drunk!
"Shitou, you are still young. You must think carefully about starting a family and starting a business."
Shitou frowned, why did he suddenly get involved? Is this a bit off topic?
"My business is not urgent!"
Liang Chuan said to himself: "Women are like these two different scenes. Some are charming, some are small and unruly, some are wild and unruly, and some are gentle and charming!"
Shitou was a little embarrassed. He couldn't understand what Liang Chuan wanted to say at all. Sun Houpu was such a smart man. He understood immediately that these words were meant for him.
"Some women are born to be rich and powerful. Our backgrounds are different from others. Climbing into other people's families is a sign of our ancestors' merits. If you want women to lower their stature and look down on us, then it's too much to ask for!"
Sun Houpu felt a little aggrieved when he heard this kind of criticism and scolding, so he walked to the wine table and picked up the wine bowl to drink even more happily!
Sun Houpu's drinking capacity was worse than a stone. After drinking, he coughed and his eyes were red. He put the bowl on the table and said to Liang Chuan: "Third brother, fill it up again!"
Shitou wanted to persuade him, but he saw something was wrong. He stood up halfway, his hands stopped in mid-air and he didn't know whether to block it or not!
Liang Chuan poured another bowl: "Take your time, this wine is quite strong!"
"This is the taste I want!" Sun Houpu couldn't help but feel unhappy!
After two bowls of wine, Sun Houpu seemed to have reached his limit. His fair face turned pink, and the dumb boy didn't even put a morsel of food into his stomach!
"What's so great about her? Isn't it because her biological father is so capable? It's true that I'm a concubine, but I'm no worse than anyone else. Looking at the current Bianjing city, which grandson is better than us?"
Liang Chuan thought to himself, are you finally willing to tell what's on your mind?
"What happened today?"
It seemed that Sun Houpu was still not drunk, and he sat sullenly without saying a word.
Liang Chuan said: "I know what happened to you even if you don't tell me? Is that little girl Xia Xue's temper getting worse and you can't bear it anymore?"
This was clearly a critical blow, causing Sun Hopu to be thrown into chaos.
Shitou looked at it with such anger that he didn't dare to express his anger. This Xia Xue was as fierce as her sister, but her sister was still within the control of her father and dared not make any mistakes. Xia Xue was different. She was as fierce as anyone in the world. Nothing is bound to her, not even Xia Song.
The wine was coming one bowl after another, and now the two of them didn't dare to pick it up randomly anymore. If the wine was poured upside down and they drank it up, they would have to be carried away in a while.
Liang Chuan took a few bites of the food and drank the wine first. His drinking style was even more fierce than his fighting style, and his momentum was even more amazing. Not many people could withstand it!
Liang Chuan wiped his mouth and said earnestly to Shitou: "Shitou, it's not easy to be a door-to-door son-in-law! You have to be a cow and a horse for others, and you have to pass on the family line. But the important thing is that you have no status at home. If you go out, I can't even raise my head! Think about it if you were the son-in-law who came to the house. If we wanted to have a drink in the future, we would have to look at the faces of your girls. It doesn't matter how loud you are.
Can this mother be happy? "
Shitou became even more confused after hearing this. He looked first at Liang Chuan and then at Sun Houpu, and said strangely: "Third brother, how can I have the courage? I am the only seedling in our old Zheng family. Unless I have the courage like you, I will come to your door." If you become someone else's son, even if I hide to the ends of the earth, my father will definitely kill me, I guarantee you this!"
After saying this, Shitou realized that the words were not about him, but about Sun Houpu.
Sun Houpu's eyes were full of embarrassment. Although he made the most money among the three people now, his life was the most unsatisfactory.
Because he was a concubine, he turned his back on the Sun family and established his own family. Such behavior would have been treasonous at any time. Now he has fallen in love with the daughter of Xia Song, the second largest member of the dynasty. No matter how you look at it, it is a bad fate!
Perhaps because he was drunk, Sun Houpu admitted to himself in a somewhat trembling manner: "I am the son-in-law who came to your door!"
This time Shitou didn't dare to speak. If he continued to talk nonsense at this time, it would be disrespectful to the two brothers. He drank the bowl of wine in front of him first, and then ran away with his mouth!
"I forgot, there is something else going on at the escort agency, you guys have a good time eating and drinking!"
The empty rooftop now seems even more lonely.
Liang Chuan said to Sun Houpu: "Drink that bowl and say what you want to say!"
Sun Hopu's eyes were getting redder and redder, and his stomach was burning like fire. If he drank this bowl of wine, he would definitely spit it out, but after drinking the wine, he felt really good, and the unpleasant feeling seemed to be gone.
Just die! Sun Houpu's heart skipped a beat, he picked up the wine bowl and poured it all into his stomach with his eyes closed. His poor stomach, which had never eaten anything, was churning like the sea. It was fine when he first ate it, but after a few breaths he Breathing, the alcohol went straight into his throat. He couldn't hold it back any longer and spit it out in one gulp!
Liang Chuan hurriedly came up to help Sun Houpu rub his back. The ground was covered with vomit filth. Sun Houpu vomited for a long time and completely squirted out the wine he had just drank in his stomach. He raised his head and his two red eyes were like lanterns.
"None of us are God's favored people. How can we be allowed to take advantage of all the good things in this world?"
Sun Houpu gasped and said angrily: "What I want...isn't much! All of this...I fought for it myself...Is it too much?"
Liang Chuan said: "Do you dare to ask me too much? Look at your identity for yourself. You don't even have a family background. In the future, Xia Xue comes to your house and asks what your family does? You said that your father turned out to be a smuggler. Tea leaves! Is this appropriate? Let’s take a step back. Let’s not talk about your father. If someone asks about your mother’s identity, you say she is a concubine? Where do you want Xia Song’s face to be? "
This is Sun Hopu's real weakness!
"I know best who Xia Song is! He wants face above all else, and there is absolutely no way he would allow his precious daughter to marry a businessman unless there are profit factors that can make him bow down!"
Liang Chuan's eyes were full of determination and he asked, "Do you have these?"
Sun Houpu was very manic, and alcohol made others uncomfortable. Liang Chuan's words irritated his sensitive nerves: "I don't care! Third brother, you promised to let me marry Miss Xia!"
Liang Chuan sighed and said: "I just want you to say one thing. If you really love Miss Xia, you must not be mixed with other selfish motives. It will be bad for you and even worse for Miss Xia! If you really love Miss Xia that much, He, that..."
What Liang Chuan fears most is that Sun Houpu is still the same Sun Houpu.
When Sun Houpu pursued Zheng Ruoying, he only wanted to get married as soon as possible. He was only attracted by Zheng Ruoying for a while. More importantly, he wanted to take advantage of Zheng Ruoying. He did not have the temperament of a man at all. This was why Liang Chuan later captured Zheng Ruoying himself. I won't feel half ashamed of Sun Houpu.
What if this kid still wants to use Xia Xue to glorify his family? Xia Xue's status is indeed high. His Sun family has burned high incense for eight lifetimes, so don't expect to be in-laws with the prime minister of the dynasty. If you don't treat others well, there will be trouble in the future. Big mess!
Xia Song went crazy, this kid didn't even know how he died!
Now Xia Xue has not even gotten along with him, but she can't bear it even after being a little bit angry. She comes back to complain, how will she survive her father-in-law Xia Song's place in the future?
Compared to Xia Song, Xia Xue was just a simple little monster. Liang Chuan stood on his heels and knew that if this kid entered the Xia Mansion in the future, he might not even be as good as a servant. .
