Chapter 1120 Banquet

It was Shen Hao, a Qingfengyuan, who came here for the first time, but he had heard of it very early.

You can tell what the store is like by listening to the name. It is a fresh and elegant style, some of which are like a combination of tea houses and galleries.

Of course, ordinary people cannot come here. On the one hand, the expenses here are not affordable to ordinary people. On the other hand, even if you have money, you may not be able to get in. It is necessary to recommend someone to do so.

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 a royal relative. Anyway, it is not small and no one wants to cause trouble here.

Those who can enter here are either the top group of wealthy businessmen in the Jingjiu Dynasty, or high-ranking officials and nobles. Many of the big figures in various places who claim to be "upper-class" are not qualified to enter Qingfeng Garden.

Moreover, Qingfengyuan is the one that purchases the most aged Wuliangye at a high price and the biggest seller. The account of Zhangjia Wine Shop is very clear. Qingfengyuan’s aged Wuliangye is second only to Shen Hao’s wine cellar. Of course, they are all brewed in one or two years, and almost none in three or four years.

When you enter the bamboo forest path at the door, you will see a strong literary atmosphere, and even the blue bricks under your feet are elegantly carved paintings of flowers and plants.

Qingfeng Garden occupies a large area, and it is divided into one main building and two companion buildings.

The main building is five floors high and is built with magic circles and stones and logs. Each floor is very spacious, but there are not many tables and chairs arranged. The picture is a quiet place, with more paintings, flowers and plants, as well as singing, dancing and piano venues that can be used as adjustments.

There are also some specially designed venues for literary games.

For example, a long table with a sunken sink is inlaid with water. One end comes in and the other end comes out. People sit on both sides of the long table, and then put a wine cup in the sink and go down the water along the winding sink. When the wine cup stops due to twists and turns, the person closest to drink the wine in the wine cup and write a poem.

There are many other ways of playing like this.

Shen Hao has also heard of these things. It is said that it is a bargain game that has always been very popular in the circle of literati. But he has never been interested.

It’s so much to drink a drink, is it idle?

Or is it comfortable to drink a large bowl of wine in the army, and a few dishes of wine and dishes, and a rough wine style like "splitting firewood", the scene is lively and in high spirits, which is not much better than this literary game?

"Mr. Shen, please, Lord. Lu has been waiting for you at the top of the Yun Pavilion."

Speaking of airs, Lu Liang's airs were taken over, and he only sent a housekeeper to greet Shen Hao's current status. This shows that in Lu Liang's eyes, Shen Hao's weight is no different from that of ordinary fourth-rank officials.

This mentality actually made Shen Hao, who saw the trick, feel more at ease. Lu Liang's current status is not ordinary with the expectations given to him by the government and the people, and it is no problem to say that he is "half the left prime minister". And it also requires the rich capital of following the emperor from the end, so letting his own housekeeper come to greet Shen Hao is actually considered to be face-saving.

Walking up to the top floor, there was only a table placed on the huge floor, and the surroundings were decorated like a strange chiang forest. Not to mention, it was quite unique and elegant. Even a half-baked scholar like Shen Hao thought the environment here was really well arranged.

"Hahaha, Lord Shen, Mr. Lu has been reliant on him for a long time!"

As soon as he came in, the person coming towards him was thin, tall, with long beards, bright eyes and a smile on his face.

"Shen Hao has met Lord Lu!" Shen Hao also smiled and bowed and bowed. He took the initiative to put himself in the lower position in terms of etiquette. After all, even if Luliang only has a real position judged by the Zhongshu Academy, Luliang's fourth rank is still half a level higher than Shen Hao.

Facing this most popular Lord Lu of the dynasty, we must give enough respect.

"Hahaha..." Lu Liang smiled happily, and the slightest bit of stiffness in his eyes disappeared. The rumored "Shenxiaxing" from the outside world is indeed not a bull. This etiquette is thoughtful enough. I think it should be the essence of a literati in him.

Thinking of Shen Hao's identity as a literary master, Lu Liang became more kind.

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

There were still two people standing behind Lu Liang. It was the two most important figures of the Qin family who were now being investigated in secret: Qin Mu, the governor of the Jingbei Punishment of the Qing Wei, and Qin Haiping, a thousand households in the Ancheng City of Jingbei.

The appearance of these two people directly proves that Shen Hao’s previous guess is correct. In this wine party, Luliang is just an intermediary, and the real master is the father and son of the Qin family.

After a few greetings with Shen Hao, Lu Liang and Shen Hao left to the side, let Qin Mu, who was born behind, then smiled and said to Shen Hao: "I first met Mr. Shen and was worried about being negligent, so I asked Mr. Qin to accompany him. I think Mr. Shen should be very familiar with me, right?"

"Mr. Lu has troubled me. I am naturally familiar with my colleagues." As he said that, Shen Hao bowed to Qin Mu, who had stepped forward from behind, and said, "Mr. Qin, I haven't seen each other for a long time, so how good has it been?"

Shen Hao and Qin Mu naturally knew each other, and in a sense he knew Qin Mu quite well. However, this kind of understanding was a bit fatal to Qin Mu.

"Hahaha, thank you Lord Shen for your concern. Last time, I only drank a few glasses at Lord Shen's wedding. Today I must toast Lord Shen a few more glasses of wine!"

The laughter was very harmonious. With a wave of Lu Liang's hand, several people walked to the big table to separate the guests and sat down.

After Shen Hao sat down, he placed the three jars of wine he brought on the table. The four-year-old Wuliangye rarely appeared even in the top restaurants like Qingfengyuan. Luliang only drank it once, and it was the first time that the Qin family and his son had seen it.

"I heard that Zhangjia wine shop, which has made such good wines as Wuliangye, is the business of Lord Shen. Now I see it really is?" Lu Liang is also a person who loves wine, but he was happy, and he didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional in his words, so he came over in one sentence.

Shen Hao said without changing his expression: "Mr. Lu misunderstood. Although my member of the Zhangjia Liquor Store, Datou is in the account of the Heiqi Camp. You also know that some errands in the Heiqi Camp need to be hidden enough, including the in and out of money. So if you deal with the wine shop, you can still get some good wine. You just take this opportunity to drink with Lord Lu."

Seeing that Shen Hao was talking about the secret, Lu Liang nodded and stopped asking.

Three jars of wine were opened, leaving two jars for Lu Liang to take away. The servant who was helping him was sent away. Qin Haiping took the initiative to pour wine on the table, and his face was natural.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors, Lu Liang suddenly said, "Mr. Shen started his home in Jingxi, close to Jingbei where Lord Qin is. He is a neighbor. He should move around and build a good relationship and unite to contribute to the country. If some misunderstandings are taken away, it will melt. What does Lord. Shen think?"
