"I got a new bottle of wine. It's pretty good. I'd like to invite you to taste it together."
Wen Shaoyi knew in a blink of an eye that the deputy patriarch had something to tell him.
Although the deputy chief is a good drinker, he is more serious and solemn. In all the time he has been in the Tianfen Clan, he has never had a drink alone with the deputy chief, nor has he had any private interactions with him.
And he himself, as well as the entire Tianfen clan, knew that he was not good at drinking.
Wen Shaoyi smiled slightly and said, "Okay."
In the empty pavilion, Wen Shaoyi and the deputy patriarch were sitting.
The moonlight was beautiful and the wine smelled delicious, but apart from a pot of wine, there wasn't even a side dish on the table, let alone other fruit drinks, tea and cakes.
The deputy patriarch placed the wine cork in the middle of the table, smelling the rich aroma of the wine, with an intoxicated smile on his face.
"This wine came from Elder Xu. The old guy has been collecting it for more than fifty years. He is reluctant to drink even a drop of it on weekdays. And I... have been thinking about it for decades."
"Shun?"
Wen Shaoyi watched the deputy patriarch pour two small glasses into the wine glass, making every move carefully for fear of leaking a drop.
He had never seen such a deputy chief.
It's such a small cup, even if it's full, it's not very full, let alone less than one-third full.
It's not a bad thing, he doesn't like drinking either.
"Yes, he was so happy that he had a great-grandson. He took out a jar and I robbed it. The old guy chased him for dozens of streets."
"If the deputy patriarch likes good wine, I will send someone to find some more and bring them back to you."
The deputy patriarch waved his hand and smiled softly, "Forget it, good wine has to be bought at a high price. You can drink this wine or not. There is no need to waste so much money."
"It's just a few jars of good wine. You can take it from my account and not the clan. You are just a young man who should respect the deputy clan leader."
"That's not okay. People who don't know better would think that I took some kind of bribe from you. And... your money is also money. If our Tianfen tribe wants to return to Yeyu Continent to rebuild the Tianfen tribe's headquarters, we will have to spend more money in the future.
There is no money left to waste now."
Wen Shaoyi fell silent after hearing the news from the Tianfen Clan headquarters.
The scenes of the Tianfen clan being exterminated and the tragic death of his father resounded in his mind again.
He picked up the wine glass and wanted to drink it all, but was stopped by the deputy chief.
"Good wine is for tasting, not for wasting. You should smell the aroma of the wine first, and then take a sip."
Wen Shaoyi followed his words and put the wine glass to the tip of his nose. A strong aroma of wine entered his nose.
He didn't understand wine, he only knew that it smelled good, and at least it made his heart less restless.
"The deputy patriarch has a good sense. This wine is really good."
He took a sip. It was fragrant and mellow but also spicy.
He couldn't help but cough twice.
Wen Shaoyi couldn't drink it and just wanted to drink it all in one gulp. The deputy chief stopped him and asked him to drink slowly.
"Everything you drink is money, let's drink it slowly."
Wen Shaoyi's mouth twitched.
I had known that the deputy chief was very stingy and frugal in his daily life. A piece of clothing could be worn for more than ten years. It was torn and mended again and again, and he did not know how many times he had to mend it.
There are often discussions in the clan.
When he saw it today, his understanding was once again subverted.
Perhaps it was because of the deputy chief Sikong at the Tianfen Clan headquarters.
Hearing the word deputy patriarch, he subconsciously felt a little repelled.
Looking back carefully, the deputy clan leader has been working hard for the Tianfen clan branch and taking care of the Tianfen clan properly. It seems that... there is nothing to criticize. Shubao.com
"The deputy chief must have something to tell me."
"What can I do for you? I just have some good wine and want to share it with you."
