pampering wife

Chapter 84

Qingmei and Chu Xiuming stood on the sidelines, waiting until Marquis Wu'an practiced, Qingmei smiled and praised.Marquis Wu An handed over the long spear in Chu Xiuming's hand, went to Qingmei and said, "It looks better dressed like this."

When the three of them arrived in the open hall, there was a maidservant serving food, Marquis Wu'an asked Qingmei to sit down, and said: "I called you here today, I want you to catch up with Xiuming, and I haven't seen you for ten years." Qingmei said Smiling and nodding, although her memories of before she was three years old were vague, after Chu Xiuming told some interesting stories about her childhood on the way here, she seemed to vaguely remember some of them.

Marquis Wu'an is also considered an elderly person, and Qu Heng passed away many years ago, and the friends he made in the past are also scattered, so it is inevitable that he will miss the old days.Talking about interesting things from that year during the meal made people feel emotional.

Naturally, there was wine during the banquet, Marquis of Wu An and Chu Xiuming martial arts practitioners were restricted by military law not to drink alcohol, so at this time, wine was served with the dishes, and they ate to their heart's content.But after all, drinking too much is not good for your health, so Qingmei said to Marquis Wu'an: "Uncle Chu, the fruit wine brewed a few days ago was unsealed, this time I brought some for you and your wife, the box is a bit heavy, and it is still in the car outside It's on it."

"Oh? Then I have to try your handicraft." Marquis Wu An waved his hand, and some servants stepped forward to obey.Not long after, a stout servant strode over with two wine boxes.

Marquis Wu'an is upright and sophisticated, so he is naturally different from Princess Yongle's dignity and delicacy, so Qingmei didn't bother to choose wine pots and glasses, and only put the wine in the old man's favorite gourd.The servant opened the lid of the box, and the rows of wine gourds were neatly stacked. Qingmei chose three pots of golden pear wine from them. Although the taste may not be unique, everyone can love it.

Passed the wine gourd to Marquis Wu An and Chu Xiuming, and after they each tasted it, Marquis Wu An nodded and said: "The old man has never drunk fruit wine in his life, but he tasted it today, and it was fresh. Well, it tastes really good."

Qingmei smiled slightly and said, "I know that Uncle Chu prefers to drink mellow shochu, so this fruit wine is just a new taste. There is also red date wine, which can help Madam and Sister Chu maintain their health." Chu Mingyuan asked beside him Said: "I heard from my father that you want to open a tavern?"

"That's the plan. There are not many fruit wines sold in Beijing, and the tastes are uneven. I thought about opening a fruit tavern, and there should be a lot of customers. The plum tavern I opened in Wancheng before was quite famous. . ” Confidence and pride sparkled in the clear eyes, and the bright smile added to the spring.

"That's interesting to hear. Hongxiu likes to drink, but drinking too much soju can easily get you drunk and hurt your body. She likes this stuff!" Chu Xiuming raised the gourd and took another two sips, and said with a smile in his eyes: "The little girl has grown up. "

Under such an atmosphere, Qingmei was naturally more relaxed, and smiled smugly.

After dinner, Marquis Wu An asked Qingmei to come and play often, Chu Xiuming still sent Qingmei to the warming room.This side of the room has just been replaced with soft cakes for dessert, and the four of them sit together and gossip.The fruit wine brought by Qingmei was also divided into several jugs. When Madam Chu saw Qingmei, she smiled and beckoned her to sit beside her, and said: "Last time, Lord Hou said that he wanted to taste your fruit wine, it's really delicious .”

Qingmei smiled shyly and said, "Madam, I'm over the award. I said earlier that I wanted to open a fruit tavern, and I just wanted to sell these."

"I think it looks good. Our Qingmei is smart, cute and smart. This wine is dozens of times stronger than those other fruit wines in the capital." Mrs. Chu stroked Qingmei's hair with a smile, ignoring the flash in Madam Gu's eyes. Surprised.

Qingmei heard the praise, and a smile bloomed on Qingli's face like a flower, but Mrs. Gu next to her was puzzled: "The fruit wine is really good, but I think Qingmei is still young, so I should focus on studying first. The wine jar is rough and heavy , it’s not suitable for a girl’s family to do, these things should be left to other people to do.”

Madam Chu seemed unable to hear Madam Gu's resistance and contempt for this matter, she just said: "What's the matter, as long as Qingmei likes it."
