After hearing what he said, the three of us frowned.

I just broke a jar of wine, and someone immediately brought it to me. If you want to say it, isn’t it a bit too coincidental?

Qinghan asked, "Where are people?"

The servant said, "Leave this jar of wine and he will leave."

"What kind of person is he?"

"This, the little one didn't see clearly. The light outside was too dark. The man said a few words and left after handing over the things to the villain. Whatever the villain called him, he ignored him by asking him to leave his name."

"What about him talking?"

"It's so muffled, but it doesn't sound like the accent of a local."

All three of us looked at each other silently.

The servant was so scared that he walked over carefully and put the jar of wine on the table, asking, "Does the Third Master have any instructions?"

Qinghan waved his hand: "Go down."

"yes."

The servant retreated, and the courtyard was still boiling. Everyone kept laughing and making noise, but the atmosphere in the pavilion had become cold.

Pei Yuanhao silently waved his hand behind him, and the few guards who had been serving not far away came up. He whispered a few instructions, and the people immediately turned around and left, and their figures quickly sank into the surrounding night.

Although we couldn't hear him, we could guess that he should have ordered those people to look around.

However, looking at his expression, he seemed to have no hope.

Sure enough, after sitting quietly for a stick of incense, several servants came back and forth, but did not find the one who delivered the wine.

Since the person who delivered the wine did not stop, he expressed his unwillingness to meet; since he did not want to meet, he would naturally ensure that he would not be found by us.

What's more, even if we do this, we can't do it ourselves. Naturally, we will send a servant or find someone to give him some money on the way.

The servants stood behind him and leaned over and said, "I'm dereliction of duty!"

Pei Yuanhao was silent for a moment, and waved his hand lightly: "Forget it, you all go down."

Only then did those people retreat.

Then, the eyes of the three of us fell on the jar of wine.

The wine jar is not big, and it seems that it should have been sealed for a long time. The mud seal is still covered with thick dust. Qinghan picked it up and swayed it gently. The clanging sound inside is indeed a drink.

He waved to find a follower and asked him to take it down and take it first.

Pei Yuanhao and I didn't ask much. Although we only said "take it down and take a look", it could not be as simple as "seeing". We all have a lot to do with each other, especially when we are guarding Sanjiangkou, so of course we should be careful when eating.

After a while, the jar of wine glass was opened and sent, and the servants were rewarded, and nothing was wrong.

It's really just a jar of wine.

Moreover, it is a jar of good wine.

As soon as the wine jar was put up, a strong fragrance of wine immediately drifted away and it didn't last for a long time. There was a faint sweet fragrance in the middle, as if it was the fragrance of osmanthus, refreshing the heart.

Qinghan thought for a while, a calm smile appeared on his face and said, "Since the New Year is coming, someone has sent such a New Year gift, so we can't let others down."

Actually, now, there is no other choice.

I reached out to take the wine jar and smelled it, and said, "What a good wine."

Qinghan smiled and said, "Don't worry, it's not easy to drink this wine coldly, so you have to warm it up."

So I asked someone to bring warm wine to the stove, and then removed a few dishes, leaving only some food to put on the table. This was like we were resting and tasting wine. However, the mood at this moment was no longer as relaxed and happy as before, nor was it really the leisure time when resting and tasting wine. No one spoke, the water vapor was filled with fragrance, but it seemed to be surrounded by a dull atmosphere, and the small pavilion could not even float out of this small pavilion.

As the hot water on the stove rumbling, the wine became warmer, and the smell spread in this small pavilion. It would make people intoxicated just by smelling it.

Qinghan poured me a glass, then put the wine pot on the mouth of Pei Yuanhao's cup, but did not pour the wine immediately, but looked at him.

Pei Yuanhao didn't say anything, frowned slightly, obviously still struggling with the origin of the wine.

However, he has been struggling until now, but there is actually no way to do it. Qinghan smiled and said, "Midday is coming soon. The old and new will change, and everything will be renewed. Your Majesty can also put some of his worries. Let's have a glass of bar."

Hearing him say this, Pei Yuanhao nodded and said, "Okay."

So the three of them poured a glass of warm wine.

I took a sip first, because it was just warm, and the mouth was soft and warm, as if a spring breeze blew gently, and the wine was so moist that it flowed down my throat. The warmth spread throughout my body in an instant, and even my limbs and five bodies were warmed. After drinking it, a sweet fragrance surged up, and the sweet fragrance quickly spread in my mouth, as if a lotus bloomed on the tip of my tongue.

I couldn't help but say "hmm": "So sweet."

Pei Yuanhao took a sip. Although there was no smile on his face, the tension between the corners of his mouth and eyebrows still relaxed a little.

After taking another sip, he let out a light breath: "Good wine."

Qinghan tasted the taste and said, "This wine doesn't look like the wine from Shu."

I nodded: "The wine in Shu is more spicy."

"Yes, so the wine in my cellar has to be kept for a long time before it can be taken out, otherwise the taste will be too spicy."

"So where is this wine?"

Qinghan took another sip, sucked the smell, and said, "This wine is like the wine from my hometown."

I looked up at him: "There is the Yangzhou area?"

"It should be around that, and it's soaked in ninety-month-old osmanthus so that it has such a sweet taste."

"Is that..."

"Well, I have drunk such wine before, and Yunxiang's family has soaked it, but it's not as good as this jar."

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "..."

Slowly, all three of them fell silent.

However, everyone continued to drink wine silently. After a while, half a pot of wine was drunk and half a pot of warmed up.

Listening to the gurgling sound of hot water in the stove, Pei Yuanhao remained silent and suddenly said: "Actually, I spent the New Year like this when I was a child."

"oh?"

Qinghan and I suddenly said this, and we both turned to look at him.

He said: "At that time, I was only eight or nine years old, and it was when everyone in the palace was holding us brothers and there was no way."

“…”

A boy of eight or nine years old is not a time when people think dogs don’t like it.

Pei Yuanhao reached out and waved the heat steam rising from the stove twice. The fog was steaming. His eyes were originally sharp and sober, but at this time it seemed to have become a little hazy with the fog, and his voice became much gentler: "That year, I remember that my father was in the hall to entertain the ministers. My brothers thought they were tired of talking, so they sneaked out."

“…”

"The fourth brother said that he stole a pot of wine from the imperial kitchen and wanted to drink with us."

“…”

"The father didn't let us drink at that time. He wanted to drink, but he was afraid that the father would scold him, so he led us both."

As soon as I heard it, I knew that the "two of us" he said refers to him and the prince Pei Yuanxiu of that year.

The atmosphere suddenly became a little subtle.

That person is not a person to any of us who can be mentioned at will, or it means war and killing when mentioned; but now, when mentioned, it is accompanied by a faint smell of wine with a sweet taste.

Qinghan asked, "Then, your majesty, have you gone to drink?"

Pei Yuanhao suddenly smiled: "At that age, when he was brave, he dared to do anything, let alone drinking secretly, you are afraid that you have experienced it."

Qinghan also smiled and nodded.

And I, not to mention it.

Pei Yuanhao continued: "However, the pot of wine that the fourth brother stole was probably just brewed. It didn't have any aroma of wine, but only spicy, so spicy that our tears fell down and our throats were hoarse."

I laughed.

He couldn't help laughing and said, "At that time, I thought someone had poisoned the wine and almost asked someone for help. The fourth brother himself was also surprised that when he saw the courtiers in the hall drinking, they were like drinking water, and they loved drinking the more they drank. Some people felt uncomfortable all over without drinking. How could they know that the wine tasted like this?"

“…”

"I thought the wine was sweet until then."

Qinghan smiled and said, "So too."

I asked, "Then you didn't drink that pot of wine later, right?"

He shook his head and said, "Later, he - the emperor brother," as he said this, I felt his eyes and his voice tremble a little, as if it was too unfamiliar to call him, and he picked it up from the ashes, making him a little confused. After coughing lightly, he said, "He said, he will think of a solution."

"What's the solution?"

"He left for a while, and when he came back, he was covered in dust. It turned out that he went to the imperial kitchen to steal a can of rock candy and said he wanted to soak it in the wine for me to drink. The taste of the wine will naturally be sweet."

“…”

"I was so happy that I poured half a can of rock sugar in. After drinking it, the taste of the wine became really sweet."

At this moment, a rich sweet fragrance came.

The wine temperature is ready.

Qinghan took out the wine pot and filled the wine glasses for us again. Pei Yuanhao picked up the cup and put it under his nose for a while, then took a sip, and then smiled and said, "Actually, if you put down the rock sugar, the wine is cold, and it is frozen again, so where will it melt?"

“…”

"But I seem to have really drunk very sweet wine, and I haven't drunk such sweet wine for many years."

“…”

"That's the wine today, it seems to have the same taste as before."
