Wen Renzheng nodded slightly and picked up the bowl and chopsticks with a pleased expression.
"Shu'er, after we finish drinking your daughter's red wine, you don't have to pour us any more wine.
The three of us have a jar of these bamboo-leaf greens, and we can just pour them and drink them by ourselves.
Don't just pour us wine, we've been traveling for a long time, so you can eat whatever you want."
"Hey, Shu'er knows."
Wenren Yunshu poured a full glass of wine for each of Liu Mingzhi and the four of them, and then poured another glass of wine for himself.
Wen Renzheng put down his bowls and chopsticks, picked up his wine glass and signaled to everyone.
"Today is a good day worth celebrating. Come, let's drink this cup of Shuer's daughter's red."
"Respect the old man."
After finishing the glass of wine, Liu Yulan raised her hand and moved a plate in front of Liu Mingzhi and Wenren Yunshu and his wife.
"Mingzhi, Shu'er, this is Yayu, a delicacy unique to Bashu. You two should try it quickly."
"Okay, thank you, mother-in-law."
"Thank you, mother, mother, Shu'er and husband can make whatever they want to eat. You don't have to just look after us, you can also eat by yourself."
"Mom, I know, you guys should try it quickly."
Wenren Yunshu nodded gently, picked up a piece of fish meat with chopsticks and put it on her husband's plate.
"Husband, please try it quickly."
"Old man, father-in-law, mother-in-law, we are a family. There is no need to be so polite. Let's eat together."
"Okay, okay, let's eat together."
"I've heard for a long time about the reputation of the elegant fish in Bashu. My son-in-law has benefited from Shu'er today."
As he spoke, Liu Mingzhi picked up the fish and brought it to his mouth. After tasting it carefully, he raised his brows and chuckled.
"The meat is tender and delicious. Compared with the three delicacies from the Yangtze River, it has its own merits.
Today I can taste such delicacies at my elders’ house. It is really a worthwhile trip to come to Shu to visit you two elders!”
What Liu Mingzhi said was not a deliberate compliment, but he was really satisfied with the taste of this elegant fish.
When Liu Yulan heard Mr. Liu's extremely satisfied words, she smiled and nodded.
"Mingzhi, if you like it, just eat more."
"Okay, thank you, mother-in-law."
"Master, master, Shu'er, you guys should eat too."
While everyone was chatting and laughing while eating the food, a jar of daughter's red wine was placed in front of Young Master Liu and the three good drinkers, and before they knew it, not a drop was left.
Liu Mingzhi lined up the bamboo leaf greens in front of him, filled a cup, then raised it and motioned to Mr. Wen Ren and Zheng Ye.
"Old man, father-in-law, and son-in-law, here's a drink to you."
"Drink together."
"Drink together."
Wen Renxuan and Tihu filled a glass of wine again and looked at Liu Mingzhi hesitantly.
"Mingzhi, I have a little thing to ask you, but I don't know whether I should ask it or not?"
"Oh? What's the matter? Father-in-law, it's okay to say it."
Wen Renxuan and Quzhi clasped their brows and turned to look at their daughter sitting next to Liu Mingzhi.
"I would like to ask if you and Shu'er can stay in our house for a while when you and Shu'er come to Shu with Zhengwen.
You also know that between me and Shu'er...
Your mother-in-law and I haven't seen Shu'er for so many years, and now we are finally reunited as a family.
We naturally hope that you can stay longer and spend time with Shuer.
Moreover, Shuer's eldest brother and sister-in-law don't know about this yet.
I have just sent someone to notify the two of them, so I hope that your family can...can..."
Wen Renxuanhe's words were not spoken, but the meaning he wanted to express was self-evident.
Liu Mingzhi glanced at Wenren Yunshu, who was looking at him next to him, and nodded without hesitation.
"Of course there's no problem, it's just a trivial matter.
Shu'er and you two elders haven't seen each other for so long. It's fitting that Shu'er should stay at home for a while longer and stay with you two elders.
As long as you two don't mind our intrusion, Shu'er can stay as long as he wants."
"real?"
"Father-in-law, my son-in-law has already said that this is just a trivial matter.
As long as Shu'er is willing, my son-in-law doesn't have the slightest objection."
Wen Renxuanhe nodded excitedly, raised his wine glass and gestured to Young Master Liu.
"Okay, come on, let's have a drink."
"To my father-in-law."
Liu Mingzhi refilled his drink, picked up the glass and stretched it towards Wen Renzheng.
"Old man, I'll give you another toast, kid."
Wen Renzheng waved his hand casually and directly picked up the wine glass: "No disrespect, let's drink together."
"Dry."
"Dry."
"Father-in-law."
"Huh? Mingzhi, tell me."
"It's not a problem for our family to live in your two elders' house, but there is something that my son-in-law needs to tell you in advance."
Wen Renxuanhe put down the wine jar and asked with a puzzled expression: "Oh, I wonder what you want to say?"
"Father-in-law, Shu'er and Zhengwen can stay with you two elders as long as they like. There is no problem at all.
But the son-in-law cannot do that. Many affairs of the capital, large and small, are inseparable from his son-in-law.
Therefore, the son-in-law could only stay at the house for about three days before he had to leave for Beijing.
If there is anything rude, I hope my mother-in-law and you two can forgive me."
Wen Renxuanhe was silent for a moment and nodded with a clear expression.
"I understand, we understand your difficulties. If you can stay for about three days, your mother-in-law and I will be satisfied."
"Thank you, father-in-law, for your understanding. My son-in-law will give you another drink."
"Drink together, drink together."
Liu Mingzhi and the others deliberately stopped talking about this topic and moved the topic elsewhere in a few words.
Time passes quietly.
After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.
Under the stone table in the pavilion, I don’t know when there were more than a dozen empty wine jars lying on it.
As Liu Mingzhi and the others exchanged cups, they were already drunk and their eyes were dim.
"Hiccup~"
Wen Renzheng burped and put the wine glass on the table drunkenly.
"Magnolia."
"Hey, old man?"
"Mingzhi, Shu'er and the others have been traveling all the way, and I think they are already exhausted.
To be continued...
