Two jars of wine cost 800 taels of silver. Even the emperor probably couldn't afford it!
Tang Ji thought he heard wrongly, wiped his lips, and continued to ask: "Brother Ye, how much money did you say?"
With a smile on his face, Ye Xiao put the wine glass on the table and explained: "Brother Tang, you heard me right, my Yejia royal jelly original brew is also known as Huaizhou Tianxia Zui, Linzhou Qianlixiang, and Yaozhou Yunchunqu.
There are four famous wines in Ningguo, but the production process of my Ye family royal jelly is extremely demanding and the output is very small, so very few are sold to the outside world, and the price gradually increases. But Brother Tang is my friend Ye Xiao, so these two jars of wine will count.
Please give me a gift in return for Brother Tang teaching me how to whiten your skin!"
Hearing this, Tang Ji's face darkened slightly, he turned to stare at Sun Yufu, and said softly: "Is this why you asked me to bring the money?"
"Ah, um, um, you heard what he said. This wine is rarely sold. The old man is trying his luck. Don't be so stingy. I've helped you win thousands of taels of silver." Sun Yufu replied with a smile.
Then he protected the wine gourd in his arms and picked up the wine jug on the table.
Tang Ji looked away and knew that this old guy definitely had no good intentions. He stopped thinking about it and raised his hand to thank Ye Xiao.
Ye Xiao didn't pay attention to this little episode. He picked up his wine glass and said, "Everyone, I respect you."
Immediately, everyone raised their wine glasses in return and drank them all in one gulp.
Tang Ji finally understood why this wine was so expensive. After only two cups, and he squirted out the previous cup, he already felt a little drunk. He picked up the teapot nearby and poured a glass of water. After drinking it, he felt drunk.
After being more sober, he picked up his chopsticks and took two bites of the food, then asked casually: "Brother Ye, why are you going to such great lengths to stage a martial arts fight?"
Ye Xiao smiled calmly: "Of course it's to get to know interesting people like Brother Tang. To be honest, Ye has been obsessed with martial arts since he was a child. Unfortunately, he lacks talent. After fifteen years of hard training, he only has second-rate strength. After my father left, this
The Ye family was handed over to me. Since then, I have often held similar martial arts fights, but there have been very few knights coming to participate. Speaking of which, I should also thank Brother Tang. If it hadn't been for your Jiran Bookshop to launch
"The Legend of the Condor Heroes" made the world more lively, and today's fighting will not attract so many people."
Tang Ji nodded slightly. It seemed that this guy's fighting was just a hobby. He didn't ask any more questions and chatted about other topics.
After a long time, all the food on each table was cleared away. Except for Tang Ji, everyone else drank a lot of wine. Su Qing and Shangguan Ming even fell drunk on the table.
Ye Xiao stood up slowly, rubbed his eyes, and said to Tang Ji: "Brother Tang, everyone has drunk too much. Why don't you rest in the house tonight?"
Tang Ji turned around and glanced twice. Jiu'er was already lying on his shoulder and was drowsy. Even Sun Yufu, who had always had a good drinker, dozed off. He shook his head, cupped his hands and said, "Then bother Brother Ye."
Already."
"No problem, my Ye family has a big business, and the most important thing is rooms." Ye Xiao replied with a smile, then raised his hand and ordered the maid: "Go and clean up a few guest rooms."
The maid nodded and saluted, and quickly walked out of the house.
Ye Xiao poured another glass of water and drank it, then turned to Tang Ji and said, "Brother Tang, are you going for a walk?"
Tang Ji raised his eyebrows slightly. What could two grown men have to do at this late night? He remembered the scene where the other party pinched his face at noon. Now he wanted to meet him alone. Could it be that he wanted to... His thoughts were confused.
Fly, he couldn't help but shudder, but he didn't know how to refuse, so he had to reach out and pinch the fat on Jiu'er's waist, and replied with a smile: "Okay."
"Hiss~" Jiu'er didn't drink, but was a little tired. After being pinched, he suddenly woke up and stared at Tang Ji complainingly, but saw that the other party kept blinking at him, and asked doubtfully: "Uncle, what's wrong with your eyes?"
?”
Hearing this, Ye Xiao also turned his attention to Tang Ji, guessing something, sighed and explained: "Brother Tang, I'm already married."
Tang Ji raised his head in surprise: "Are you married?"
"I'm four years older than you, and you already have a fiancée. Is it strange that I'm getting married?" After Ye Xiao finished speaking, he shook his head and walked out of the hall.
Tang Ji touched his head in embarrassment, got up and followed him out.
Jiu'er still didn't understand why his uncle wanted to wake him up, so he pursed his lips, picked up a piece of pastry on the table, stuffed it into his mouth, and followed him.
An oval-shaped moon hung in the sky, and the main courtyard was covered with silver frost. There was silence everywhere. Suddenly, a breeze blew by, adding a touch of loneliness to this quiet picture. Two shadows moved forward slowly, one after the other.
OK.
Ye Xiao put his hands behind his back, took a deep breath, and said: "Three years ago, I was like you, living a free and unrestrained life. That year I met a beautiful girl, and I used my sincerity to
She was moved, but the night before she and I were about to get married, a killer suddenly broke into the house and killed my father and her. From then on, I vowed to avenge them, but after a long search, I found nothing about it.
The identity of that assassin, now, I have been the head of the Ye family for three years, but I have lost myself more and more, cannot feel happiness, and live a boring life every day."
Tang Ji didn't expect that he had so many stories. Fortunately, his wife didn't ask about him just now. He coughed twice and said comfortingly: "I'm sorry for mentioning your sadness."
Ye Xiao shook his head and did not reply.
"Actually, my life experience is not much better than yours. Yesterday I was still thinking about how to send my two uncles to go to the underworld to apologize to my mother. But people can't live in hatred and darkness all the time.
Looking back, there are actually many good things. You should also keep an open mind. Maybe one day you will accidentally find the whereabouts of the assassin." Tang Ji reached out and patted his shoulder. He suddenly thought of something and turned his head.
Asked: "So, you are holding the martial arts fight not just to get acquainted with people in the world... Could it be related to that divine sword?"
"Brother Tang is indeed the most talented man in Huaizhou, with quick thinking." Ye Xiao praised with a smile, looked up at the night sky, and explained in a hoarse voice: "That sword is the only clue left by the assassin. I
I have been trying to find something through it, but there is still no result, alas~"
Tang Ji sighed, no longer knowing how to comfort him.
The two of them just walked out of the main courtyard without saying anything. But as soon as they entered the front courtyard, they found a group of people crowded there, and a voice came from the crowd: "If you want the Frost Divine Sword, just take it."
