Chapter 45 Spicy

The wine was put on it and it looked very clear, which was the best wine.

Although the wine level in the Tang Dynasty was relatively low, it was more pleasant to drink than most modern wines, because the wine of the Tang Dynasty was definitely brewed by grain, and it was absolutely impossible to blend it with alcohol. At this time, the technology had not reached the level of using industry to produce ethanol.

Compared to ethanol and water and essence, it will be very comfortable to drink grain and wine. Even if you are drunk, you will not feel uncomfortable after a night's sleep.

I remember that in my previous life, he asked a friend from a winery to bring two bottles of grain round wine and put them at home. Once, he invited the leader to dinner and took it out to entertain guests.

The leader is an old drunkard, and he only took a sip and said: Huh?

Where did you buy this wine?

Xue Chongxun said it was taken by a friend and could not be bought.

So the leader shamelessly took two bottles of wine for himself and asked him to buy wine and serve the food again.

……

Xue Chongxun and Cui Riyong sat together, and the dishes were set up on the table. Before the meal started, Sanniang took out a small white vessel, like a small plate. She lifted the wine pot and poured it a little inside, staring at the vessel for a while, probably checking whether it was poisonous.

Cui Riyong smiled and said: It cannot be poisonous.After saying that, he poured two glasses of wine, picked up one and drank it all: I'll do it first.

Sanniang was still worried. Maybe she was afraid that she would apply medicine on the wine glass, so she picked up Xue Chongxun's cup and took a sip. She was silent for a moment, put down the cup and didn't say anything.

Seeing this, Xue Chongxun was a little moved and said to himself: If it is really poisonous, would she taste it first? Would she be poisoned to death?

Sanniang has been with him for more than a year. Xue's mansion is safe, comfortable and dignified. She probably has a sense of belonging.

Xue Chongxun sighed, picked up the wine glass and poured it into his mouth, and his eyes narrowed. This low-alcohol wine can be so spicy!The drink went down his throat, and it was hot from his throat to his stomach.

Cui Riyong laughed at this: This is made from the old pond of the Qin people. The songs of the Qin people are sad and the wine of the Qin people are spicy. What did Xue Lang taste?

Xue Chongxun took a breath and frowned and said: Don’t laugh if you are drunk on the battlefield. How many people have returned from the battles in ancient times!

What a drunken woman, let’s have another drink.

When clinking glasses, Cui Ri deliberately placed the wine glass a little lower than Xue Chongxun...

Although Xue Chongxun is a royal relative, his fundamental identity is still the Hedong gentry, and Cui Riyong is also a gentry. This detail of him is to show a reconciliation attitude.

Xue Chongxun's alcohol tolerance was very average. After drinking two glasses of wine, his face turned red and his black face looked darker.

The old man said that people who drink with faces are sincere. Maybe he was born as a sincere person, but later he developed such a slutty heart...

He said: Sure enough, it’s easy to talk to at the table. If you invite me to have a drink, I’m not so tired of you.

Cui Ri smiled and touched his chin with a whisper.

At this time, he heard a snap again, and Xue Chongxun patted the table gently and said: But I still feel unhappy!Whoever dares to touch my woman will be killed with me!

That's...that's... Cui Riyong's eyes were a little contempt.At this time, he patted his hands and saw a girl walking out of the curtain.

Xue Chongxun looked back and said: Beauty plan?

Cui Riyong smiled and said: Xue Lang is too careless... but he can't pour wine for the King of Hedong?

The girl responded quietly and said: Yes.

Who is she?Xue Chongxun asked.

Cui Riyong said: A servant in the mansion is named Cui Ying. Tangke (wife) likes her well-behaved and rewards her with the mansion.

I know this. My housekeeper has always been good at doing things, and my father also rewarded him with his surname Xue.

Xue Chongxun looked up and down at the slave, looked at her eyebrows in confusion, and suddenly felt a strange feeling, and immediately said, "She is not an ordinary slave."

oh?How did Xue Lang see it?Cui Riyong asked with great interest.

Xue Chongxun said: She is worried, but she is not worried about trivial matters such as not having good clothes and materials, too tired work, too poor eating, etc. She is idle.

Speaking of this, the girl named Cui Ying couldn't help but take a bold look at Xue Chongxun's black face while pouring wine.

Xue Chongxun smiled and said: What is the word called?... By the way, the boy doesn't know the taste of sorrow and falls in love with the upper class.Falling in love with the upper class, I force myself to say sorrow to write new poems.Now I know the taste of sorrow and I still want to talk about it.I want to say it but I still have to stop, but I think it’s cool and autumn.

Cui Riyong laughed forcibly, and Xue Chongxun smiled again: Not to be the concubine of Mr. Cui.

Absolutely not.Cui Ri shook his head with a big blow, then picked up the wine glass to meet Xue Chongxun.

The two of them drank for a while, and Cui Ri didn't seem to be very good at drinking. Not long after, he was already drowsy and tilted, so he asked Cui Ying to accompany him to drink.

But Xue Chongxun didn't appreciate it. He said goodbye to me and wanted to fool me with a slave, so he stood up and said goodbye.

After he and Sanniang walked out of the urging mansion, they were blew by the night wind and woke up three minutes. They thought about what Cui Ri used to make a woman come out?No matter what, it can be seen that Cui Riyong's attitude really doesn't want to make a grudge with him.

At this time, Pang Er came over with his four-hoofed white horse. Xue Chongxun stepped on the stirrups. Pang Er came to help him again, but he pushed him away and turned himself over.

The group protected Xue Chongxun's horse and walked eastward and returned home.

……

Cui Riyong was extremely reluctant to get involved in this matter. Although he was a person who was inclined to Li Longji before, Xue Chongxun did not have much prejudice against him and only hated his son Cui Mo.

This kind of emotion was probably because Xue Chongxun thought of the relationship between the Taoist priest Yin Zhiping in the Condor Heroes. The Taoist priest started with a woman who was tempted by Yang Guo, which was extremely disgusting...

So Xue Chongxun could never tolerate him, otherwise he would feel uncomfortable.

It is easy to deal with Cui Mo, but Xue Chongxun knows that the biggest root cause of this is his mother, Princess Taiping.

The mother and son are not enemies, but now they are opponents; this confrontation is very subtle, not life and death, but they are all trying their best to win.

Taiping didn't want to see anyone opposed her and refused to obey her constraints. Even her son was no exception. This was her personality.So she wanted to use this incident to regain the absolute authority she deserved in front of her eldest son.

Xue Chongxun was naturally unwilling to give in. Last time he married Li Yan'er for the sake of a political marriage, he had already compromised. This time he wanted the woman he liked to marry someone else?

He will not compromise anyway...

Perhaps Princess Taiping has not realized that if she persists like this, their mother-son relationship will be about to collapse frequently.

The consequences are serious, and all the knowledgeable people in the court are aware of this.In Chang'an, the storm caused by the armed fight of hundreds of people may be more serious than the war between hundreds of thousands of people on the border.

Xue Chongxun wandered on the stone road by Tingyu Lake, his mood fluctuated.

Occasionally, there were servants who were patrolling the night and walked by with lanterns, but when they saw that it was the owner of the Xue family, they all bowed their knees and left.

Most of the time, it's very quiet.

Now we can only see if Yu Wenxiao can do what he has assigned him. If it is not done, there will be no way out at that time: assassinate Cui Mo; and transfer the Feihu Group to suppress it at the cost of rebellion.

The difficulty of the first road is that Xue Chongxun could not find anyone, because he was now being monitored by Princess Taiping. Maybe he should have used this simple and crude method on the polo court of Linde Hall that day, but he could not bring weapons in the palace at that time. There were so many palace guards around him, and it was really difficult to kill Cui Mo in a short time. Cui Mo, a young man, must be very agile when running; the second is that the risk is too great, and he will probably touch the bottom line of Taiping.

Both mother and son are exploring each other's bottom line... and the woman he likes to get married has already touched his bottom line.

Xue Chongxun reflected on himself. It was not that he loved a woman very deeply, but that he could not bear some shame.

Otherwise, he would not agree if Taiping forced him to give up his favorite Jincheng and marry a Li Yan'er who had no impression of him...

But the truth is that he gave in.

There was a wet night breeze blowing on the lake, and the cool breeze blew. This quiet environment made Xue Chongxun think a lot.

Reflection can make people know themselves more clearly. Perhaps he is not the material for those who achieve great things at all. People who are truly committed to doing great things have the lower the bottom line, the more likely they are to succeed, because people will lose the corresponding value while getting it. People who are determined to win the world, everything else can be abandoned.

Just like Liu Bang, the Emperor Gaozu of Han, the things he abandoned countless times during the rebellion were self-evident, even after he got the world.

At that time, Liu Bang was facing the threat of the Huns in the north, but the Han court was so poor that Liu Bang could not find four horses of the same color, and he could only endure the battle.

The Xiongnu Chanyu wrote a letter to his wife Empress Lu, saying that he wanted her to serve in bed...

I could bear such things, and Empress Lu only replied to the book saying that she was old and had a weak sex.

If Xue Chongxun was in that position, he would have to fight the whole country in the north. Only God knows the victory or defeat...

Xue Chongxun is this kind of virtue. He has no strength yet. His biggest reliance is his mother, Princess Taiping. In this situation, he began to jump, disobeying his mother's will because he could not bear the humiliation.

He sighed, afraid that one day he would lose all the things in his hand.Whether it is worth the bet for a Jincheng is not within his consideration.
