Chu Ling saw all Jiang Zhongzi's reactions. Even if he was a world-famous scholar, it would not be surprising for him to have any reaction in front of new wine.
"Waiter! Serve the wine!!"
While Jiang Zhongzi was pouring himself a drink, an arrogant voice sounded. Chu Ling was leaning on the recliner when she saw Li Qian and Li Kun leading several people in.
Li Qian put on a bad face. Seeing Chu Ling being so carefree and content, he felt inexplicably angry in his heart. He couldn't bear to see Chu Ling like this.
The atmosphere became a little subtle.
"Guests, what would you like to drink?"
Seeing that Liu Jun looked nervous and stood at the counter, hesitating whether to greet him or not, Jun Hanlin walked towards Li Qian and the others and said calmly: "We do not allow you to bring your own wine or food, please forgive me."
"Small stores have many rules."
Li Qian snorted coldly and stared at Jun Hanlin coldly.
"If you feel it's unreasonable, you can go elsewhere."
Jun Hanlin did not get used to it. He faced Li Qian's gaze and said with a slight smile: "The Yipintang opposite our store was only opened recently. This store has few rules."
"you!!"
Seeing Jun Hanlin like this, Li Qian looked angry and was about to get angry when he spoke.
At this age, no one dares to treat him like this.
Knowing clearly that the Yipintang across the street is owned by the two brothers, yet they still dare to say such things, which is obviously a slander.
"Any recommendations?"
Li Kun stepped forward to hold Li Qian, who was about to explode, and looked at Jun Hanlin with a faint smile.
"In my opinion, the young master should drink the Zhuangyuan red wine, and the one who drinks the general wine is most suitable."
Jun Hanlin said without hesitation: "The wine sold in our store is different from that sold in the market, although Zhuangyuanhong is more expensive..."
"I would like to see what the difference is!"
Before Jun Hanlin finished speaking, Li Qian snorted coldly: "Bring a jug of Zhuangyuan Hong, a bucket of general wine, and the rest, as you can see, your money is indispensable."
How arrogant.
Glancing at Li Qian, Jun Hanlin was too lazy to explain, "Please find a place to sit, the guests. The drinks will be here shortly."
Jiang Zhongzi, who was drinking next to him, saw this scene and couldn't help but feel a little confused in his heart. What is the grudge between Chu Ling and Duke Shunguo?
"I've met Mr. Jiang~"
When Jun Hanlin went to prepare, Li Kun came over specially and raised his hand to salute Jiang Zhongzi. Jiang Zhongzi held the wine cup and nodded slightly.
Duke Shun's government had a strong foundation in Xanadu, and there were many people who came to curry favor with him, but great scholars like Jiang Zhongzi would not do such a thing.
The literati of the Feng dynasty were proud.
Li Kun also knew Jiang Zhongzi's temper, so he didn't say much else after seeing him, and walked towards where Li Qian was sitting, but looked at Chu Ling.
It is a strange thing in itself that Jiang Zhongzi, the great scholar of Zhaoyan Academy, can go to the tavern he opened to drink in person. If it really spreads throughout the capital, it will definitely cause a commotion.
So Chu Ling wants to become famous through the Wangyou Lake Poetry Club?
Li Kun lifted his robe and sat down, staring at Chu Ling. Thinking of all the things he had seen before, this idea became stronger, even though Chu Ling initially rejected the imperial edict brought by Liu Chengfeng.
But so what?
Who can ensure that Chu Ling is not trying to gain fame through this?
"What do you want him to do?"
Li Qian frowned and looked at Li Kun, and said slightly dissatisfied: "What do you think? You want to drink, but you can't drink in Yipintang? Do you have to come here?"
"I just want to know what Chu Ling's confidence is in selling wine."
Li Kun withdrew his gaze and said calmly: "It's the time when the Wangyou Lake Poetry Conference is being held. Since we want to have a literary fight, we must also understand the other party. Otherwise, how can we fight?"
"It's just a coincidence." Li Qian said coldly: "Otherwise, a despicable villain like him would be able to drive him out of Xanadu without us taking action."
"Okay, don't talk about this."
Li Kun smiled lightly and said, "Isn't this quite interesting?"
Li Qian snorted coldly.
He is proud of himself. Normally, he would not take a second look at people like Chu Ling.
"Let's serve half of the general's wine they want."
Chu Ling, who was leaning on the recliner, slowly opened her eyes and looked at Jun Hanlin, who was drinking. "It's easy to get drunk when you drink to calm your breath."
"Young master, that's strange."
Jun Hanlin, who was drinking, said with a smile: "How can there be any reason to push the business outside?"
"A shameful waste."
Chu Ling stood up and said, "Shopkeeper Liu, go to Juxian Building and ask for some dishes. The shopkeeper is here. Don't be so nervous."
"Hey, hey."
Liu Jun nodded hurriedly, glanced at Jun Hanlin, and walked quickly towards the drinking area.
Chu Ling came to the counter and did not look at Li Qian and the others.
Since these two brothers can spend a lot of money and open a shop opposite the bar, what else can't they do?
Who says someone has a good family background?
What you want to do is your freedom.
In fact, Chu Ling didn't worry about the matter with Duke Shun Guo's Mansion at all. It was not difficult to solve it. The Duke Shun Guo's Mansion came to talk to him. It was not impossible to solve the matter.
But to this day, no one has come to Chu Ling to talk about this matter.
There is quite a bit of prestige.
Thinking about it, you can tell that they can't accept it. Chu Ling also knows about it. If this is the case, there is nothing to say.
"Drink! I won't go home until I'm drunk today!!"
After drinking, he went inside and heard Li Qian's voice. Jun Hanlin came back with a wooden tray and looked at Chu Ling with a half-smile.
"A bit grumpy, but generous enough."
"Want to drink?"
"Indeed some."
"Go and drink with them, it's free."
"It's better not to, it's quite interesting to watch them drink."
Jun Hanlin was leaning against the counter and saw Li Qian frowning and starting to drink heavily while holding a wine bottle. Several healthy servants sitting next to him all had weird expressions and followed the drinking and couldn't help but smile.
Especially when Li Qian tasted that the wine he drank was wrong and was still holding on, Jun Hanlin couldn't help it, turned around and laughed.
"Think it's funny?"
Chu Ling took a look and looked at Jun Hanlin.
"Don't you find it interesting?"
Jun Hanlin smiled and said, "If the young master hadn't had any grudges with Duke Shun, I would really want to get to know this Li Qian."
"It's not too late now, don't worry about me."
Chu Ling didn't care.
"I think the young master is very strange."
Jun Hanlin thought for a while and said to Chu Ling.
"I am such a person."
Chu Ling cleaned up the counter, "I will do the things I like to do. The more others force me to do the things I don't like, the less I will be able to do them."
"Good."
Jun Hanlin was stunned for a moment, then suppressed his smile and said, "I'm not as good as the young master in this regard."
When people live in this world, how can everything go as planned?
Seeing that something was wrong with Jun Hanlin, Chu Ling didn't ask any more questions.
Don't encourage others to do good unless they have suffered.
Everyone knows the truth. The problem is that if you don’t empathize with others, you will overdo it. The so-called authorities are blind to the beholder. They are placed in a very high position and say things that others cannot understand.
"Sir, this wine tastes a little strange."
"What's wrong? Keep drinking."
"Brother, please drink slowly..."
Jiang Zhongzi, who was slightly tipsy, put down his wine cup, glanced at Li Qian and the others, and frowned slightly. Drinking like this, it would be better not to drink at all.
"Chu Ling, I want to ask you something."
Ignoring Li Qian and the others, Jiang Zhongzi lifted his robe and looked at Chu Ling.
"Mr. Jiang, please speak."
Chu Ling smiled slightly and said.
"Will Wangyou Lake Shi go?"
Jiang Zhongzi's words are concise and concise.
"Juniors won't join in the fun."
Chu Ling smiled lightly and said: "This junior is used to being free and easy, so I don't like it..."
"I'm afraid you don't dare to go!"
A voice sounded, interrupting Chu Ling.
"Mr. Jiang, don't be deceived by this man, he is just a village man!"
Li Qian shook his body, pointed at Chu Ling, and said to the frowning Jiang Zhongzi: "Others don't know him, but I know him very well. With his little talent, writing poetry? It's really laughable..."
"Brother, you are drunk!"
Li Kun frowned and pulled Li Qian, "Don't say these words in front of Mr. Jiang..."
"Did I say something wrong?"
Li Qian's eyes widened and he said, "If he wasn't such a person, why did he stay married when he first came to Xanadu..."
"Brother!!"
Li Kun quickly reached out and covered Li Qian's mouth.
marriage?
Is it a marriage certificate?
Jiang Zhongzi, who was slightly unhappy, raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard Li Qian's sudden stop. It seemed that the answer to what he had been wondering in his heart was now there.
The look in Chu Ling's eyes also changed.
"Why are you covering my mouth?"
Li Qian pushed Li Kun away, slapped the table and stood up, shaking his body and staring at Chu Ling, "Chu Ling! If you are really capable, just compose a poem in public. Mr. Jiang happens to be here. If you can get into Mr. Jiang's eyes, I will give you You pick up your shoes!!”
Li Qian has always remembered what Chu Ling said at the Shunguo Duke's Mansion.
"you're drunk."
Chu Ling looked calm.
"Which of your eyes saw that this young master is drunk?"
Li Qian shouted: "I'm afraid you don't dare!"
Li Kun sighed secretly.
When he drank Zhuangyuanhong just now, he realized that there was something wrong with the wine. It was different from the wine on the market.
"say something!!"
Seeing that Chu Ling remained silent, Li Qian said angrily.
"If it's inconvenient, you don't have to do it."
Jiang Zhongzi stood up at this time, ignored Li Qian, and said to Chu Ling: "Whether you go to the Wangyou Lake Poetry Club or not is your choice, no one else can force it. This wine is good, I like it very much."
With that said, Jiang Zhongzi took out a piece of broken silver and put it on the wine table.
"Mr. Jiang, please stay."
With a smile on her face, Chu Ling looked at Jiang Zhongzi who was about to leave, "Since someone wants to carry my junior's shoes, I'll delay Mr. Jiang for a while. I'll invite you to this meal."
Um?
Jiang Zhongzi looked at Chu Ling.
"It's so cool!"
Li Qian said disdainfully: "I would like to see what kind of poetry you can write."
With that said, Li Qian sat down on the wooden chair.
Facing Li Qian's sarcasm, Chu Ling didn't pay attention. He picked up the pen and started writing. Jun Hanlin curiously poked his head to see what Chu Ling had written.
When he saw the words he wrote, Jun Hanlin's eyes changed slightly and he looked at Chu Ling in surprise.
"Give it to Mr. Jiang for me."
After a moment, Chu Ling put away the pen, picked up the piece of paper, blew on it, and handed it to Jun Hanlin.
Jun Hanlin looked at Chu Ling as if he were a monster, then reached out to take it, turned and walked towards Jiang Zhongzi.
