Chapter 1120 Banquet

It was the first time for Shen Hao to come to Qingfengyuan, but he had heard about it a long time ago.

Just by the name, you can tell the number of this store. It has a fresh and elegant style, which looks like a combination of a tea house and a gallery.

Of course, ordinary people can't come here. On the one hand, the expenses here are not affordable by ordinary people. On the other hand, even if you have money, you may not be able to get in here, you need someone to recommend you.

It is said that this store is a business under the name of the royal family. It is not clear whether it is the Ministry of Internal Affairs or which royal family member. Anyway, the background is not small, and no one wants to cause trouble here.

Those who can enter here are either the top rich businessmen in the Jingjiu dynasty, or high-ranking officials. Many of those self-proclaimed "upper class" dignitaries from all over the place are not qualified to enter Qingfengyuan.

Moreover, Qingfengyuan is the one that buys the most aged Wuliangye at a high price, and sells the most generously. It is clearly stated in the accounts of Zhang's wine shop that the amount of aged Wuliangye in Qingfengyuan is second only to Shen Hao's wine cellar. Of course, they are all brewed in one or two years, and there are almost no ones in three or four years.

Entering the bamboo forest path at the door, you will be greeted with a strong literati atmosphere, and even the green bricks under your feet have elegant flower carvings.

Qingfengyuan occupies a large area, divided into a main building and two companion buildings.

The main building is five storeys high and is made of magic circles and rocks and logs. Each floor is very spacious, but there are not many tables and chairs. The picture shows a tranquility, and more are calligraphy, painting, flowers and plants, as well as singing, dancing and piano music venues that can be used as adjustments.

There are also some specially designed places for literati games.

For example, a long table with a sunken sink. Water enters from one end and water comes out from the other. People sit on both sides of the long table, and then put a wine cup in the sink along the zigzagging water. The wine in the cup and a poem.

There are many other games like this.

Shen Hao has also heard about these, and it is said that it is a wine game that the literati circle has always been keen on. But he was never interested.

There are so many cutscenes for a drink, are you free?

Or is it comfortable to drink a large bowl of wine in the army, paired with a few dishes of appetizers, and the rough wine order of "random chopping firewood", the scene is lively and interesting, not much better than this literary game?

"Master Shen, please, Master Lu has been waiting for you at the top floor of the Banyun Pavilion for a long time."

Speaking of arrogance, Lu Liang's arrogance is held, and Shen Hao's current status is only sent down to greet him. This shows that in Lu Liang's eyes, Shen Hao's weight is the same as that of an ordinary fourth-rank official no difference.

On the contrary, this kind of mentality made Shen Hao, who had seen the way out of the door, feel more at ease. Lu Liang's current status and the expectations given to him by the government and the public are not normal at all, and it is completely fine to say that he is "half a leftist". And also counting the solid capital of following the emperor from the beginning to the end, it is already considered a face to let his housekeeper come to welcome Shen Hao.

Walking up to the top floor, there is only one table on the huge floor, and the surrounding area is decorated like a forest of strange stones and bamboos. Not to mention, it is quite unique and elegant. Even a half-literate man like Shen Hao feels that the environment here is really well arranged.

"Hahaha, Mr. Shen, I have admired Lu for a long time!"

When he first came in, the person who met him was thin, but tall, with a long beard, a pair of bright eyes, and a smile on his face.

"Shen Hao has met Mr. Lu!" Shen Hao also smiled back, bowed and saluted, and took the initiative to put himself in the lower position in terms of etiquette. After all, even though Lu Liang has only one real job judged by the middle school, Lu Liang's fourth grade is still better than that of Lu Liang. Shen Hao is half a level higher.

Facing the most popular Master Lu in the dynasty, he still needs to be respected enough.

"Hahaha" Lu Liang smiled happily, and the trace of rigidity in his eyes just now disappeared. The rumored "Shen Fiend" is indeed not a brute, his courtesy is thoughtful enough, presumably it should be the essence of a literati in him.

Thinking of Shen Hao's status as a great writer, Lu Liang became a little more kind after him.

On this side, Lu Liang was greeting Shen Hao, but on the other side, Shen Hao thought to himself: Sure enough.

There are still two people standing behind Lu Liang. It was the two most important figures of the Qin family who had made their names in Heishui and were now under investigation: Xuanqing Wei Jingbei Zhenfu envoy Qin Mu and Jingbei Jiangancheng Qianhu Qin Haiping.

The appearance of these two people here directly proved that Shen Hao's previous guess was correct. In this wine game, Lu Liang was just an intermediary, and the real master was the father and son of the Qin family.

After exchanging greetings between Lu Liang and Shen Hao, he turned aside to let Qin Mu behind him, and then said to Shen Hao with a smile: "When I first saw Mr. Shen, he was worried about being negligent, so he asked Mr. Qin to accompany him. I think Mr. Shen should be very familiar with it." Bar?"

"Lord Lu, please worry, Master Qin and I are colleagues and we are naturally familiar." Qin Mu cupped his hands and said, "Master Qin, I haven't seen you for a long time, how have you been?" Shen Hao said.

Shen Hao and Qin Mu naturally knew each other, and even in a sense, he knew Qin Mu quite well. It's just that this kind of understanding is a bit fatal to Qin Mu.

"Hahaha, thank you, Mr. Shen, for your concern. Last time when Mr. Shen got married, I only drank a few glasses of wine. Today, I must respect Mr. Shen with a few more glasses of wine!".

The laughter was very harmonious, and with a wave of Lu Liang's hand, several people walked to the big table and seated as the guest of honor.

After Shen Hao sat down, he put the three jars of wine he brought on the table. The four-year-old Wuliangye rarely appears even in the top restaurants like Qingfengyuan, and Lu Liang only drank it once, and it was the first time for the Qin family father and son to see it.

"I have heard for a long time that the Zhangjia wine shop that brews such good wine as Wuliangye is Mr. Shen's business. Now I see that it is true?" Lu Liang is also a person who loves wine, but he is happy, and he doesn't know whether it is intentional or unintentional. , came over with a word.

Shen Hao said without changing his face: "Master Lu misunderstood, although Zhang Family Wine Shop has my share, but the majority is on the accounts of the Black Flag Camp. You also know that there are some errands in the Black Flag Camp that need to be concealed enough, including money. So I have dealt with wine shops a lot, and it is still possible to get some good wine, so I just took this opportunity to have a drink with Mr. Lu."

Seeing that Shen Hao said it was a matter of confidentiality, Lu Liang nodded and stopped asking further questions.

One of the three jars of wine was opened, and two jars were left for Lu Liang to take away. The servant who was helping was dismissed, and Qin Haiping took the initiative to pour wine on the table, with a natural expression on his face.

After three rounds of wine and five tastes of food, Lu Liang suddenly said: "Master Shen's birth place is in Jingxi, next to Jingbei where Lord Qin is, and it belongs to the neighbors. We should walk around more to build a good relationship. Only by uniting can we serve the country. Contribute. If there are some misunderstandings and it will melt away with a sip of wine, what do Master Shen think?"

Qin Mu on the side also raised his wine glass, respecting from a distance: "Master Lu's words are true. If there is something about Qin that makes Master Shen uncomfortable, please let Master Shen laugh it off. It will never happen again in the future. Qin is willing to confess Mr. Shen, this friend!"
