Xiaoyao Xiaojunhou

Chapter 467 467. VIP
The little maid was startled, her hands shook, and she almost threw the tray away.

"careful!"

Shao Sikou let out another strange cry, slowed down the pace of rushing over, and bowed slightly, like a cheetah preparing to catch its prey, his steps were very light.

When the little maid saw this, she stopped and stared blankly at the young Sikou, her hands trembling slightly. She didn't know what happened?
Who is this person? How could his words and actions be so scary?

The little maid was panicked and couldn't help but turn her head to look at Zhu Xiuyuan, her eyes flickering as if asking for help.

Shao Sikou's strange words and deeds frightened the little maid.

Several black lines appeared on Zhu Xiuyuan's forehead. This young Sikou is really a drunkard...

However, for the sake of the reputation of the fine wine in the mansion, Zhu Xiuyuan couldn't let Shao Sikou drink too much. He just had to taste it. Drinking too much could easily lead to problems.

So he walked over, and before Shao Sikou's outstretched hands were about to touch the wine bottle on the tray, Zhu Xiuyuan took it in his hands.

Shao Sikou got nothing, and his eyes followed the wine bottle...

Zhu Xiuyuan pursed his lips, picked up the wine glass on the tray with his other hand, and told the little maid: "Okay, you can go down first."

The little maid felt relieved and hurriedly answered "Yes" with a trembling voice. She held the empty tray in both hands and fled the terrifying front hall.

"Uncle, my uncle..."

Shao Sikou kept swallowing, with a smile on his face, and a flattering smile appeared unconsciously.

He still bowed his body and stretched out his hands towards the wine bottle in Zhu Xiuyuan's hand, but as if the wine bottle was hot to his hands, he retracted his hands halfway.

After retracting, he wiped it on his clothes, and then stretched out to the wine bottle...

His hands were going back and forth, sometimes stretching out, sometimes retracting... This showed that he was extremely greedy.

"Master Shao Sikou, let's agree first. This wine is very strong. You need to drink it slowly. Don't drink too much. If you drink too much, you will feel very uncomfortable and may even vomit!"

Zhu Xiuyuan protected the wine bottle, looked at Shao Sikou with a flattering smile on his face, and gave a serious warning.

"Okay, okay, I'll listen to my uncle. That wine..."

Zhu Xiuyuan smiled bitterly and shook his head. He held the wine bottle in one hand and the wine glass in the other. He slowly poured a little into the wine glass, which was only the amount of two cup bottoms.

The young Sikou stretched his neck, sniffed fiercely, and his throat kept trembling. He wished he could pluck his eyes out and throw them into the wine glass to see them clearly.

"It smells so good! So strong!"

Shao Sikou rubbed his hands and shouted. He was already smiling. The strong smell of alcohol went straight to his nose, but Shao Sikou thought it smelled good.

"Master Shao Sikou, please."

Zhu Xiuyuan handed over the wine glass.

Shao Sikou quickly caught it with both hands. When he looked into the cup, he saw that the wine was clear in color and had a strong aroma. Judging from the appearance and smell, this wine was indeed a top-quality wine.

It's just that the amount was too small. It only filled the bottom of two cups... not enough for him to take half a mouthful!

However, Shao Sikou was already so greedy that he didn't care to complain about the small amount of wine in the glass. He held the wine glass in both hands, forgot about Zhu Xiuyuan's warning to him, and drank it all in one gulp!

"Hey, Mr. Sikou, you...you drank it all in one gulp!"

Zhu Xiuyuan frowned and stopped repeatedly.

But Shao Sikou had finished his drink, so it was useless for him to persuade him.

Fortunately, he only poured two cups for Shao Sikou, if it was a whole cup...

"Well……"

Shao Sikou swallowed the strong wine into his belly in one gulp, and the line of fire went straight down, like a sharp sword thrust from his throat and straight into his belly. The stimulation was very strong.

It was so hot, it was more like swallowing a flame!
This is indeed the feeling in the legend.

Shao Sikou closed his mouth tightly and held his breath. His face turned red at a speed that was visible to the naked eye. His eyebrows wrinkled tighter and tighter, and his whole body froze.

"Master Shao Sikou, are you okay?"

Zhu Xiuyuan put down the wine bottle, placed it on the small coffee table next to him, and looked at Shao Sikou from side to side.

Zhu Xiuyuan knew that if a person was used to drinking low-alcohol wine in ancient times, and suddenly drank such high-alcohol wine, he would definitely feel uncomfortable, such as Dong Shuzhen two days ago.

She was so uncomfortable that her whole body was stiff, her hands were trembling slightly, and the facial features on her face were almost distorted...

"call!"

Shao Sikou exhaled, and his tense face and frown instantly "melted", and he smiled happily.

He laughed happily and said: "Okay, it is indeed a good wine, haha, it deserves the title of the best wine in the world, haha, good wine, good wine... It is really enjoyable!"

Shao Sikou laughed loudly and turned his eyes to the wine bottle placed on the small coffee table.

Zhu Xiuyuan breathed a sigh of relief.

However, before he could speak, the young Sikou suddenly exerted his strength and rushed towards the small coffee table like a cheetah.

Zhu Xiuyuan did not react, but was stunned for a moment.

What does he want to do?
I saw the young Sikou swooping over, grabbing the wine pot, and without saying a word, he opened the lid of the pot, raised his head to the spout and drank, taking big gulps.

"Master Shao Sikou, no!"

Zhu Xiuyuan finally reacted, yelled, and rushed towards him.

If you pour it hard like this, it would be strange if nothing goes wrong!
If this young Sikou had a problem drinking here, wouldn't it ruin the reputation of his house's fine wine? It's not right, it's very wrong!

The distance was very close, so Zhu Xiuyuan rushed over in two steps. However, before his hand could touch the wine bottle, Shao Sikou pulled him away with one hand.

This young Sikou is in charge of the Criminal and Prison Department and can review and handle cases all over the world. This is actually a relatively dangerous job.

So he also has quite a lot of skills.

Zhu Xiuyuan is just a weakling with no strength, how can he stop Shao Sikou?

"Haha, good wine!"

Shao Sikou took two big gulps. The spout moved slightly away from his mouth. He took a breath and yelled. At the same time, he grabbed Zhu Xiuyuan's hand to grab the wine bottle.

After Shao Sikou took a breath, he put the spout of the pot to his mouth, raised his head and drank, taking big gulps.

Grumpy Grumpy!

Hearing this voice, Zhu Xiuyuan's head was buzzing.

Oh my God, this is highly alcoholic. How can anyone drink it like he does? This is not boiled water!
Zhu Xiuyuan was dizzy, and he had a premonition that something might happen today.

Seeing that he could not stop Young Sikou, Zhu Xiuyuan shouted at the top of his lungs: "Come here, come quickly..."

As soon as he finished speaking, several little maids came in.

But their legs were thinner than Shao Sikou's hands.

If these little maids worked together to pull him away, it would be possible.

But this is Shao Sikou who is full of kung fu!
"It's not you, men, get some men in here right now..."

……

Dozens of boys came as ordered, and they were all in a hurry. Finally, they finally grabbed the wine pot.

However, the jug was empty, and the whole jug of strong wine was drunk by Shao Sikou.

Still gulping down!

"Master Shao Sikou, how do you feel?"

Zhu Xiuyuan held the empty wine bottle and quickly looked at Shao Sikou.

The young Sikou shook his body, stepped weakly, smelled of alcohol, and his face was red, but he smiled and said: "Good... good wine!" Boom!
As soon as he finished speaking, Shao Sikou threw his head back and fell down. He was actually drunk.

……

After Shao Sikou got drunk, he vomited and talked nonsense. In the end, he slept like a dead pig and couldn't wake up... Let's not mention this for now.

In a blink of an eye, it was afternoon.

Zhu Xiuyuan was busy in the brewing workshop, when suddenly another servant came to report that Yang Tingyu, Mr. Yang, had come to visit in person.

Yang Tingyu, the doctor of Yushitai and the crown prince's eunuch, was the second-ranked official among the civil servants.

Recalling that a few months ago, when they were still in Jiangzhou, Zhu Xiuyuan and Dong Cheng relied on Yang Tingyu's momentum to kill all the Jiangzhou governor and others.

Yang Tingyu was kind enough to promote Zhu Xiuyuan.

After coming to Beijing, Yang Tingyu also took good care of Zhu Xiuyuan and Dong Cheng...

So Zhu Xiuyuan was pleasantly surprised and hurriedly welcomed him out of the house and went to pick him up in person.

The flower hall of the main house.

Zhu Xiuyuan and Yang Tingyu had finished their greetings, and Yang Tingyu also expressed his intention of coming. It was for the newly brewed wine in the uncle's house.

"Uncle Zhu doesn't know something. In the past two days, I have heard rumors of fine wine in your house, and my ears are almost hearing calluses."

Yang Tingyuhua has a white beard and is already in his 40s, but he is full of energy and is getting stronger with age. He looks like a man in his [-]s.

Yang Tingyu was in charge of the Yushitai, a yamen that monitored the conduct of all officials. It was very serious, so Yang Tingyu developed the habit of being unsmiling and rarely smiled on his face.

But at this time, when Yang Tingyu talked about this, a smile couldn't help but appear on his face.

"Although I am already sixty years old, I have already given up some of the hobbies I had when I was young. After all, I have to accept old age!"

"However, I can't let go of the fine wine. Haha, this makes Uncle Zhu laugh!"

"Old Yang's words are serious, how dare I laugh at you?" Zhu Xiuyuan bowed his hands respectfully and said: "Old Yang, the official has indeed brewed a new wine, but this wine is only a semi-finished product and has not been completely brewed. Otherwise, The lower official has already sent it to your lord's residence. Now that your lord has come in person, the lower official is really terrified!"

"Eh!"

Yang Tingyu waved his hand and said with a smile: "There is no need to say such polite words. I am here today, but I am a bit abrupt... But I am really curious about that wine. Why don't you take it out and take a look, Uncle Zhu?"

So Zhu Xiuyuan ordered someone to bring a pot of original wine.

Also served on a tray, along with a wine glass.

"Mr. Yang, this wine is very strong, far stronger than any other wine in history! Don't drink too much, and don't drink in a hurry..."

As Zhu Xiuyuan spoke, he picked up the pot and poured the wine himself. He only poured a little bit, which was the amount of the bottom of the cup.

"Haha, Uncle Zhu has such a strong tone. I would like to take a look at what this 'strongest wine in history' looks like... um..."

As soon as Yang Tingyu finished speaking, his eyebrows suddenly furrowed, his face became solemn, and his eyes suddenly fell on the wine glass.

Because he could already smell the smell of alcohol rushing up to him.

The smell of this wine is very strong, straight to the head.

In Zhu Xiuyuan's opinion, this is a "derogatory description", but for the ancients, this kind of experience was extremely rare.

When they judge whether a wine is good or not, one of the most important indicators is whether it is strong enough!
This directly reflects the level of brewing technology!

"Mr. Yang, this is your first time tasting this wine. Don't drink too much. So I only poured the bottom of a cup. Don't be offended."

After Zhu Xiuyuan poured the wine, he put down the wine bottle and made a "please" gesture.

"Um, okay, okay..."

Mr. Yang responded casually, his attention already attracted by the wine glass.His demeanor was quite calm, and he moved slowly to pick up the wine glass with both hands...

Zhu Xiuyuan nodded secretly, thinking that this was the quality an alcoholic should have.

Unlike Shao Sikou this morning, he was simply a "drunken lunatic".

Yang Tingyu picked up the wine glass, moved slowly, brought it to his nose slowly, and took a deep breath first.

"hiss!"

Yang Tingyu couldn't help but take a breath and praised: "Good wine, just smelling its smell is worthy of the evaluation of 'the strongest wine in history'!"

"But the taste of this wine is not good yet, because it is still a semi-finished product." Zhu Xiuyuan quickly explained that he had said this sentence several times, but it seemed that it was difficult for them to listen.

"Well... this wine is as clear as a spring, without a trace of color, and is of excellent quality. It seems to be clearer than the imperial wine..."

Yang Tingyu held the wine glass in both hands and made comments there, feeling a little selfless.

He observed it carefully for a long time, and finally moved closer to the wine glass, ready to drink it in one gulp.

"Mr. Yang, this wine is very strong. You need to drink it slowly and not in a hurry!" Zhu Xiuyuan was startled and quickly reminded him.

"Well, I was so immersed in the richness of this wine that I forgot about this..."

So Yang Tingyu followed Zhu Xiuyuan's reminder and sipped slowly bit by bit.

"Sure enough, it is extremely spicy!" Yang Tingyu drank a little. "There are rumors in the market that drinking this wine is like swallowing a bunch of fire! This wine is spicy in the mouth and very strong. It is indeed like a fire!"

Yang Tingyu sipped it while making comments.

"Well... what Uncle Zhu said is true. Although this wine is very strong, it is rare in ancient times. But its taste is indeed not as good as the existing ordinary wine..."

Yang Tingyu's words won Zhu Xiuyuan's approval!
"Mr. Yang is right. In terms of violence, this wine is the ultimate, even a bit too much. If you drink too much of this wine, you will get drunk very quickly, vomit, and fall asleep... To be honest with Mr. Yang, in fact this morning At that time, Sikou, the young man from the Prison Department, also came to taste wine..."

Zhu Xiuyuan told him everything that happened this morning.

Including that Shao Sikou drank alcohol, vomited, and talked nonsense, and is still sleeping in the wing of his mansion, etc.

After Yang Tingyu heard this, he couldn't help laughing and listened to it as an anecdote.

At the same time, his knowledge of this kind of spirit has improved to another level.

"Old Yang, this wine is a little too strong. It still needs to be "blended" to neutralize its strength and give it a flavor. At that time, this wine will be a real fine wine!"

"Oh, but I don't know how I can taste that...'fine wine'?"

"It will take more than ten days, probably before New Year's Eve! At the same time, Xiaguan also opened a new restaurant, just at the entrance of Wuyi Lane on Chaoku Street. The day when the wine is successful, it will be the opening of the restaurant. !”

"Okay, just for the sake of the best wine in the world, I will go and congratulate you on the opening day of Zhu Bernard Restaurant..."

Yang Tingyu took a few more sips of wine, and when his face turned slightly red, he stopped tasting it.

He was a little fuzzy, and was supported by his personal entourage to say goodbye...

As soon as Yang Tingyu left, Jiangcheng Bofu immediately welcomed another important guest——

King of Zhongshan!
King Zhongshan is the head of the military attache, in charge of the capital camp, with 20 elite soldiers, and guards the capital. He is one of the top bosses in the dynasty. His words and actions are easy to be over-interpreted.

But at the same time, he is also a good drinker.

His relationship with Zhu Xiuyuan was not very close, but they were not enemies either. King Zhongshan once helped him speak out on the matter of martial arts.

After Zhu Xiuyuan got the permission from his servant, he immediately welcomed him out of the house.

Not to mention the unusual status of King Zhongshan, he could barely be regarded as Zhu Xiuyuan's superior officer. Just because Jiangcheng's Mansion was "deserted in front of the door", three distinguished guests came to visit him in just one day, which was enough to make Zhu Xiuyuan happy. .

The "nemesis" hat on his head really frightened many people. There were very few people who dared to come to Jiangcheng uncle's house as guests.

Moreover, the guests who came today, from Shao Sikou, to Yang Tingyu, and now to King Zhongshan, each of them is more powerful and has a higher status than the last...

These are all the "materials" for Zhu Xiuyuan to "build momentum"!
So for various reasons, Zhu Xiuyuan happily welcomed him out of the house...
