“No, I’ve already bought it.”
“Oh.”
Gu Yi’s glee was gone, and he wilted and lowered his head to his fingers, not saying a word.
Song Wangyue’s lotus seed pastry was too much for her to eat and explained to him, “I only need two catties, I bought them by the way when I went to the county stall today, besides, my house is small, I wouldn’t have room to put a wagonload of them if you gave them to me.”
Gu Yi didn’t look up and gave a sullen response, still not happy.
Song Wan Yue sighed and took a piece of lotus seed pastry from the plate and handed it to him, “Today’s is even better than yesterday’s, try it.”
Gu Yi took it and held it in his hand, still keeping his head down and not eating.
Song Wan Yue had no choice, “Why don’t I go with you and see what wine is suitable, you send me two catties.”
“Sure, sure.”
Gu Yi instantly glowed, his obsidian-like eyes gleaming with light, fearing that Song Wangyue might regret her decision, “Xiao Si, go to the winery!”
The carriage moved swiftly, Gu Yi finished the lotus seed pastry in his hand in three or two bites and bragged about his family’s winery, “My family’s winery has all kinds of good wine, some of which my father has been saving for years, and he can’t drink them on a regular basis, but only pours some out during the New Year and festivals; others are the ones that my father has had sourced from all over the world at great expense, and they are so precious that I am never allowed to touch them. I was never allowed to touch it.”
When he finished, his beautiful eyes narrowed into slits.
With her hands covered, her body moved forward a bit and pressed her voice, “But I stole a lot of it when my father wasn’t looking, and he didn’t notice at all, and thought that no one touched the wine.”
After saying that, he also patted his “strong” little chest, “Don’t look at me as small, I can drink very well, I can’t even get drunk in three or five gla*ses.”
The winery and Dr Yao’s courtyard were not far apart, only separated by a wall to be exact, and the gate was closed.
When he got off the carriage, Xiao Si went to knock on the door, but the knock was very quiet and there was no movement inside.
“Young master.”
Xiao Si turned around and asked, as if Gu Yi had long been used to it, he raised his chin towards the old man’s side of the courtyard, Xiao Si understood, ran over and knocked on the door, accompanied by the old man’s “coming, coming” voice, the door there was opened, and when he saw that it was Xiao Si, the old man’s smile froze on his face.
Xiao Si whispered something and the old man’s frosty smile came to life again.
The old man gave way and Xiao Si entered.
A short while later he carried a ladder out, and just as he stepped out of the door, the old man banged it shut.
Xiao Si didn’t care, he set the ladder up to the root of the wall on this side, climbed up the wall with his hands and feet, jumped into the courtyard and opened the door from inside.
Gu Yi had just put one foot inside the gate when a sound of footsteps came over and two 17 or 18 year old boys ran over in a panic from a distance, “Young master, you’re here.”
Gu Yi took his foot back in and stood in front of the door, “You two, you know young master is here, how dare you not open the door?”
“Young master is wronged, it’s really because you knocked so quietly that I didn’t hear you.”
One of the servants defended.
Gu Yi looked at him, “How do you know that this young master knocked on the door with little noise?”
The boy who spoke froze, then hurriedly replied, “I guessed it.”
“You are clever, then guess how this young master will punish you today?”
The two servants turned pale at the same time, “Young master, I really didn’t mean to do it, I really didn’t hear it.”
“You think I’m stupid, you two are deliberately pretending you didn’t hear me and don’t want me to come in.”
The two of them waved their hands in panic, “No, young master, I really didn’t hear you.”
“You two go stand by the door.”
The two men stood over.
“Junior.”
Junior Four meant it and walked over to the two men, thumping the door so hard that the two men’s ears were going deaf and they didn’t dare cover them.
“Did you hear that?”
The two men nodded in a panic, “I hear you, I hear you.”
“That’s how Junior knocked just now, how come you guys didn’t hear it?”
The two men, ……
knew that this chastis*ment would not be spared today.
They did pretend they didn’t hear the knock on the door! Every time the young master came, he stole the master’s good wine, and it would have been fine if he drank from one jar as usual, but he opened several jars each time, and they were not allowed to tell the master, or they would be punished for going to the Medicine Mountain to catch worms.
“You ……”
Gu Yi pointed at the boy who had just spoken, “Climb in along the ladder outside, open the gate and do it a hundred times.”
Pointing to another, “You knock on the door as Xiao Si just did, knock for half an hour.”
The two almost cried, the young master had punished them before, but never this heavily, they were wrong, they shouldn’t have not come to the door when the young master was in a bad mood.
Gu Yi extended his hand towards Song Wan Yue, “Little girl, go.”
Little girl?
The two men looked up sharply, just in time to see their young master’s eyebrows smiling as he tried to take someone else’s little girl’s hand, only to have it avoided.
Gu Yi was not annoyed, but the two boys were struck by lightning and looked at each other in confusion.
The girl who can make the young master treat her like this can’t be ……
The two of them were wailing in their hearts, “It’s over, they are completely finished, they have lost their own young master’s face in front of other girls, and the young master is not going to punish them for emptying the manure in the latrine?
……
The aroma of wine wafted out as soon as Xiao Si pulled open the door of the wine cellar, and Gu Yi led Song Wan Yue around inside.
The wine here is even more complete than the wine in the wine shop: strong, not strong, fragrant, clear, and even fruit wine, served in glazed bottles, very beautiful.
Seeing her standing still in front of the fruit wine, Gu Yi introduced it, “This is fruit wine, sweet smelling, very suitable for a girl to drink. If you like it, I’ll ask Little Four to carry the carriage up for you.”
Song Wan Yue looked at it, there were only two bottles of this kind of wine in total, and shook her head, “The bottles are very pretty.”
Gu Yi suddenly raised her small chest, “This is glazed, my father said that only those big officials’ families have them, this bottle was bought by my father after spending many, many silver pieces.”
Song Wan Yue nodded and continued to look down, Gu Yi patiently accompanied her through all of them and asked out loud, “Which one do you need?”
“The strongest one.”
Gu Yi pointed to one of the rows, “These are the strongest ones, which one do you want?”
“All of them.”
Gu Yi casually pointed, “Let’s take this one, Xiao Si, go get the small altar.”
Xiao Si answered, and had just lifted his feet to go out when Gu Yi shouted at him, “Wait for a while, I’ll try them one by one first.”
Xiao Si, ……
Looking at the dozen or so jars of wine, he silently exited and ran to where Dr. Yao was to ask for an antidote to the wine pills.
The young master is not a good drinker, and every time he comes over to steal a drink beforehand he will take an antidote pill.
He moved quickly, and it only took him a few breaths to come and go, but when he returned to the wine cellar, he saw his young master leaning on Song Wan Yue’s body, his speech already slurred, “Little girl, I’ll tell you, I can do dozens of heels in one breath, if you don’t believe me, I’ll do it for you.”
