The food and drinks were served, and the Feng brothers and Fang Jinshi sat down together. Shi Xin could not accompany him due to his health, so he went back to rest. Shi Quan picked up the wine glass and said: "The two brothers are cousins, and Xiao Fang is his brother. There are no outsiders here. No need to be polite, I must drink to my heart's content today, no one can leave without drinking and getting down."
Feng Bao laughed and said, "You used to drink, and you were the one who got down first that time?" Shi Quan said, "Today is different from the past. Today, you brothers and our brothers are competing to see who gets down first?" After he finished speaking, he lifted a wine jar from under the table and placed it heavily in front of Feng Bao.
Feng Bao stretched out his hand to lift the lid and smelled it, and said: "This wine is seven or eight years old." Shi Quan said: "You have a sharper nose than a dog, eight years of authentic Taoyuan Valley Peach Blossom Alcohol." Feng Bao poured it for himself While drinking, he said: "Actually, I came all the way here, partly to catch the wind and wash away the dust for you, and partly because I wanted to have this fragrant and thick peach blossom wine."
Shi Quan smiled and said, "I had known you were here for the wine. Don't worry. I have as much peach blossom wine as there is oil in your shop. It won't be a problem to drown you." These Feng brothers are The man who ran an oil mill in Bianjing City was a distant relative of the Shi family. Fang Jinshi heard Shi Quan and Feng Bao bickering and guessed that they had a very close relationship in the past, so they dared to say anything without any taboos.
Fang Jinshi watched Shi Quan pour him wine and said, "Brother, if you have something to do later, drink less. Brothers, you will have a long life!"
Shi Quan said calmly: "I don't have anything to do."
Feng Qingdao: "That's it. An embroidery girl from the Wenxiu Academy, even if she climbs to the Yushi Mansion, she is just a concubine. What's so great about her?"
Feng Bao also said: "Shi Erlang, although my sister is a little bit tempered and has a quick temper on weekdays, she has a good mind and is not much worse than that Wang Yumei in appearance? What's wrong?"
Shi Quan said hurriedly: "When did I say that cousin Feng Wan was not well? Brothers are drinking and drinking" He turned to the other person and asked, "Why haven't you finished your glass of wine?"
His intention to deliberately avoid the topic was so obvious that it left traces. Fang Jinshi had already understood that Miss Wang Yumei finally gave up on Shi Quan and became a concubine for an official of the Royal Envoy's Palace. Shi Quan was married to Shaanxi's third All the expectations and hardships of the year have come to nothing, and in the end, nothing has been gained.
Fang Jinshi felt that he could particularly understand Shi Quan's feelings. He pretended to be nonchalant in front of others, but in fact he was suffering from great pain and anger in his heart. For a man like Shi Quan, the more he looked like he had nothing on the outside, the more It was very serious. Although Fang Jinshi had never heard Shi Quan talk about Wang Yumei formally, seeing how happy he was as if he had found a treasure when he received her letter, he knew how important this Miss Wang was in his heart. .
Suddenly, the door of the side hall was kicked open by someone, and Feng Wan strode in angrily. She walked directly to Shi Quan and said loudly: "Are you serious that you don't want to go? Why don't you come to Bianliang now?" It¡¯s just in time, there¡¯s no point regretting it after tomorrow.¡±
Everyone was shocked by her loud scolding. Shi Quan had a look of pain on his face. Fang Jinshi saw that his hands were shaking a little. Feng Bao tried to smooth things over and said, "Didn't you go back already? Why didn't you leave?"
Feng Wan looked back at Feng Bao and said angrily: "Drink, drink, you drink all day long, and you don't even look at what time it is" She grabbed the wine jar on the table and threw it at Feng Wan. At Bao's feet, wine was splashed everywhere and debris scattered on the ground.
Feng Bao didn't dare to say anything anymore, and Feng Wan didn't shy away from suspicion. She stepped forward and grabbed Shi Quan's hand and said, "Follow me to Bianliang immediately."
Shi Quan shook his head and said, "She married into an official family and has been rich and prosperous since then. What else am I going to do?"
Feng Wandao: "You have done so many things for her and suffered three whole years for nothing. Don't you want to ask her personally?"
