At noon, archway street, drunken fairy building.

Tian Wenkun has chartered the entire venue of today's Zuixian Building, and the shopkeepers who received the invitations have entered the venue on time as promised.

The venue of the cocktail party was placed in the downstairs hall of the Zuixian Building, and Tian Wenkun, as the organizer of the cocktail party, not only greeted the participants, but also introduced Cui Geng one by one.

Most of the wine and restaurant managers in Qingyuan County were invited to the meeting today, and some of them had already met Cui Geng when he was still the young owner of Cui's Wine Workshop. However, in the past, he didn't have much heart to run a winery at all, so knowing it was equivalent to not knowing him, and he basically didn't have any impression.

However, since he wants to revive his family business, he will have to deal with these people in the future, and today through Tian Wenkun's introduction, Cui Geng generally has some rough understanding and impressions of these people.

Now although he has lost his family business, he has a batch of aged wine in his hands that is coveted by the merchants present, so the shopkeepers of these wine shops and restaurants in the fourth street and nine squares of Qingyuan County still respect Cui Geng to some extent, and do not underestimate him.

After Tian Wenkun introduced these shopkeepers, he led Cui Geng to a location not far from the gate of the Drunken Immortal Building, came to a middle-aged man with a good figure, and introduced: "Brother Cui, you have to make a good friend with the one in front of you." The owner of Xue's winery among the three major wineries in Qingyuan County. The pot of incense in Xue's Distillery has not only been famous in our Qingyuan County for a long time, but also in all counties under the jurisdiction of Quanzhou Prefecture. ”

The sedan chair is not only carried by everyone, but also loved by everyone.

Tian Wenkun's small handful, the fat face of the owner of Xue Fang instantly opened, and he said humbly: "Where is it, the shopkeeper Tian has lifted a certain family." This is my Erlang of Cui Jin's brother's family, right? You see, although the Xue and Cui families live in Qingyuan County together, for so many years, a certain family doesn't know that Erlang's nephew is so big. ”

The owner of this Xue family's distillery is surnamed Xue Mingsongnian, who is about the same age as Cui Geng's father, more than forty and fifty. If Cui Geng was still the young proprietor who was a loser, he might really be confused by the kind-faced, short-legged and fat Xue Songnian who looked like Maitreya Buddha in front of him, and at first glance he would really think that Xue Songnian was a good man.

In fact, not necessarily, among the three major wineries in Qingyuan, although the pot of incense brewed by the Xue family is not as good as the Cui family's Mulan burning, Xue Songnian's business skills are not only one rank higher than Cui Geng's father Cui Jin and Cao Tianjiao.

Especially when the Cui family wine shop was in decline, Xue Songnian's methods of squeezing the two families were endless, secretly digging into the corners, lowering the price of wine and fighting a price war, which was what this Xue Fang owner liked to do the most. Cui Geng remembered that one year, when his father passed away, the year he inherited Cui's Distillery, Xue Songnian maliciously raised the price of rice, so that the Cui family could hardly receive good grain to make wine, and almost made Cui's Distillery cut off the wine shipped.

But now he is no longer the Wuxia Ameng of the day, and he still knows the reason that he stretched out his hand not to hit the smiling man.

Immediately, he put on a modest and teachable look, and said with the courtesy of the juniors: "It turned out to be Uncle Xue, my father didn't talk about you a lot when he was alive, and I will ask Uncle Xue to take care of your little nephew in the future." ”

"Huh? That's that... The virtuous nephew is too polite! ”

Xue Songnian's expression froze for a moment when he heard this, but in a blink of an eye, he put on his signature kind smile again, but his heart was chuckled, because he didn't believe that Cui Geng would not know that he and his father had fought to the death in the past, and that he would not know about the tricks he played against Cui's liquor shop. How could Cui Jin talk about him when he was alive? It's not bad if you don't draw a villain and curse him every day.

It's just that Cui Erlang, the legendary loser in front of him, can still treat himself so politely. How is this possible? Could it be that this little rabbit cub is so deep in the city?

No!

Xue Songnian immediately waved this idea out of his mind, because it was obvious, if Cui Erlang had such a city mansion, could he still let his father have a little concubine to rob the family property? Could it be that this kid really doesn't know what bad things I Xue did back then?

Xue Songnian could only give himself such an explanation.

Then, Xue Songnian smiled like Maitreya Buddha, changed his face with lightning speed, frowned, sighed lightly, and said sadly: "Virtuous nephew, don't you know, I have a lifelong friendship with your father." ”

I'll take it, Cui Geng was taken aback by Xue Songnian's speed of changing his face, it was really like a June day, and he would change when he said it. As for the fateful friendship, Cui Geng almost laughed, and said happily in his heart, please, I don't know if you two have a fateful friendship, but I know that you two are definitely Liangzi who has a fate.

Xue Songnian gradually entered the play, and said to himself: "Since your father passed away, I have been busy with the affairs of the wine shop, and I don't care much about your nephew." You see, even if you were usurped over your family business, I only found out about it two days ago. My uncle is incompetent. However, my brother Cui Jin has a spirit in the sky, and he actually left you a way back, so that you can get the wine of your ancestors. Nephew—"

Speaking of this, Xue Songnian flicked the sleeves of his robe suddenly, and said with a righteous and awe-inspiring look: "Uncle has nothing to say, in this way, if you set a price for this batch of wine, the Xue family's wine shop will all ask for it." Even if it's me, the elder, who takes care of the younger generation. I didn't say it, who made me and your father brothers! ”

As soon as these words came out, they actually caused some of the surrounding shopkeepers to look at each other, and they changed their faces one after another, and even complained secretly, shameless, shameless, Xue Songnian's cheekiness is about to catch up with the soles of his shoes, who doesn't know that you and Cui Jin's Liangzi obviously coveted the wine in Cui Erlang's hand, but he said it so righteously and so loudly. Phew, it's shameless!

Even Tian Wenkun, who was next to Cui Geng, couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, subconsciously looked at Cui Geng, and reminded in a low voice: "Brother Cui, we have an appointment in advance, you ......"

"Don't worry, shopkeeper Tian, I know it in my heart."

Cui Geng raised his hand slightly, signaling Tian Wenkun to be calm for a while, and then smiled shyly at Xue Songnian, and said, "Thank you Uncle Xue for your concern for the little nephew." I ......"

"Virtuous son-in-law, don't promise him!"

Suddenly, an angry voice suddenly came from the door, interrupting Cui Geng.

Everyone turned their heads to look, it was Cao Tianjiao, the owner of Cao's Distillery.

I saw Cao Tianjiao rushing into the door of the Drunken Immortal Building, jumped to Cui Geng's side in three or two steps, glared at Xue Songnian hatefully, and said: "The surname Xue, although my in-laws have passed away, I, who am the father-in-law, are still there, and it is not your turn to be a hypocritical bastard to beat my family's virtuous son-in-law." ”

"The surname Cao, you keep your mouth clean, who is hypocritical?" Seeing Cao Tianjiao suddenly appear, Xue Songnian suddenly felt a little weak in his heart, first, the surname Cao knew the bottom line about what he did back then, and second, the Cui and Cao families seemed to really have a marriage contract. In this way, Cao Tianjiao is really Cui Erlang's father-in-law.

Cao Tianjiao snorted, spat on the ground, and scolded: "It's you, I'm scolding you, what's wrong?" Do you dare to admit it? Phew, if you want to say who is the most hypocritical and the most hypocritical, you Xue Songnian is definitely the one who comes out on top. Think about what you did back then, phew, I'm disgusting when I think about it. Speaking of the early autumn of the sixth year of Yonghui......"

"Stop, stop~"

Cui Geng suddenly interrupted Cao Tianjiao's words and said that back then, he started a round: "Two elders, in this big court, we don't need to quarrel and quarrel, right?" People are almost here, or shall we start here? ”

After that, Cui Geng glanced at Tian Wenkun and motioned for him to pull Cao Tianjiao, the first troublemaker, aside to greet him.

Who knew that Tian Wenkun had not yet squeaked, but Cao Tianjiao stretched out his hand to stop him: "Wait a while, start again later." Come here, son-in-law, I'll tell you something. ”

Saying that, ignoring Cui Geng's willingness or not, Cao Tianjiao directly grabbed his arm, came to a place in the middle of the field where there was no one, and whispered: "You said that you kid, why don't you even call Uncle Cao when you see me?" You must know that your father and I were engaged to marry you and my daughter-in-law. When you get there, you'll have to call me father-in-law! ”

Wipe!

Cui Geng listened to it for a while, and his head was really big. Indeed, when his father was alive, he had a good relationship with Cao Tianjiao, the owner of Cao's Distillery in front of him, not because the two were engaged in wineries and wanted to join forces. It's because his father Cui Jin and Cao Tianjiao are both amorous, and they like to sneak to Quanzhou Mansion to visit Qinglouzi on weekdays, and they live for three or five days.

In this way, the two cherish heroes and heroes, and the two owners of the wine shop who are not doing their jobs and love romance have really become a pair of old friends. At every turn, I went to Quanzhou to visit the kiln.

As for the marriage contract made by the Cao and Cui families, it seems that it was also in the Qinglou, and after the two had a good time, they were hastily decided at random. Somehow, it was actually transmitted back to Qingyuan County. This "marriage story" was "sung" by the people of Qingyuan County for a period of time.

Over time, the strange marriage contract of the Cui and Cao families was taken seriously by the world.

So much so that Cui Gengzi knew that he was married in the Qinglou, and he felt extremely disgusted with Cao Tianjiao and Cao Yuechan, who had never met. As for Cao Yuechan, she has always been obsessed with this matter, never willing to mention it, and even would rather never marry than fulfill this marriage contract.

Cui Geng didn't want to dwell on this matter with Cao Tianjiao, so he immediately changed the topic and asked, "Cao... Uncle Cao, why did you pull me here alone? ”

When Cao Tianjiao was asked by him, he immediately remembered the purpose of his coming today, snorted, and said, "Isn't it for the batch of Cui's wine in your hand?" Virtuous son-in-law, look, now that you've been usurped by Maggie's, there's nothing left, right? ”

Cui Geng didn't squeak, nodded subconsciously, and listened to Cao Tianjiao's words.

Cao Tianjiao continued: "Although you have lost your family business now and are living a little embarrassed, our Cao family is not the kind of person who hates the poor and loves the rich and does not keep promises. I got married to your father back then, and now that your father is gone, I'm the only one in charge. In this way, you will dedicate the batch of wine in your hand to our old Cao family, and I will let you join our Cao family, and ensure that you have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life. How? ”

Cui Geng: "......"

Cao Tianjiao said again: "You see that our old Cao family is also prosperous now, and you will definitely make a profit if you come in." Besides, my family Yuechan is a well-known beauty in our Fourth Street Wine Shop in Qingyuan County, and you kid can be regarded as picking it up. How? Agreed? ”

Cui Geng looked at Cao Tianjiao, who was in high spirits, reached out and touched his forehead, and asked in a low voice, "Uncle Cao, you don't have a headache and brain fever, right?" ”

Cao Tianjiao shook his head violently: "What are you talking about?" Lao Tzu's body and bones are good. ”

"Then you must have drunk high at home at noon, didn't you?"

"I didn't drink it, I didn't drink a drop of wine at noon today!"

"Then you must not have woken up yet!"

"You bastard, I didn't wake up, can I stand in front of you and talk?" Lao Cao saw Cui Geng talking about everything, and he was a little taller.

Who knew that Cui Geng scratched his cheeks a little incomprehensibly, and said suspiciously: "Then your old man is not sick, second, not drunk, and third, he is not sleeping, so why are you talking nonsense and dreams here?" ”

"What?"

Cao Tianjiao jumped up angrily and was furious: "Cui Erlang, you bastard boy, you ......"

"Huh? What was that? Your old man is calm and sit down widely. ”

Cui Geng turned his head to look at the door of the Drunken Immortal Building, and there was a faint sound of noisy scolding, and then said to Lao Cao: "It's so noisy outside, I'll go see what's going on first." “

After that, he ignored Lao Cao anymore, raised his feet and went straight to the direction of the store of Zuixianlou.

……

……

Outside the Drunken Immortal Building, Chu Jiu, a small servant who served as a welcomer, was standing two steps away from the door of the store, stretching out his arms and scolding angrily: "You adulterers and adulteresses who eat people and don't pull shit, you are not welcome here, hurry up!" ”

The target of Chu Jiu's scolding was the dog man and woman Mei Ji and Fang Ming.

Fang Ming saw that the little guy was picking up his black history again, and suddenly shouted angrily: "You little slave, but when you look at the dog's ears, you dare to play prestige in front of your grandfather?" ”

Mei Ji also sneered, and reprimanded fiercely: "Get out, Mrs. Ben is here to attend the drinking party." ”

"No way!"

Chu Jiuyi's posture of 'if you want to go over, step on my corpse first', and stopped without retreating: "Who asked you to come to the drinking party?" Do you have an invitation? Get out of the way without an invitation, you're not welcome here! ”

"Hehe, you sharp-toothed little slave!"

Mei Ji waved behind her, and immediately rushed up to the two tiger-backed guards, and commanded in a gloomy manner: "Go up and teach this little janitor a good lesson for Mrs. Ben, and by the way, pull out his sharp fangs, so as not to bark everywhere." ”

"Yes!"

"Stop!"

Before the two nurses stepped forward, Cui Geng had already appeared at the door of the store in time, walked to Chu Jiu's side, and gently patted him on the shoulder to show encouragement.

Then he said to Chu Jiu in a tone of admonition: "You said that you are a little Jiu'er, why are you so reckless?" How do you teach you on weekdays? When a dog bites you, you should avoid it, is it possible that you still want to bite back? Don't do that next time, understand? ”

Chu Jiu was cute but not stupid, and he could hear that Gongzi was pointing at Sang and scolding Huai, and then he grinned and nodded heavily: "Hmm! Got it. Regardless of the male dog or female dog, if you bite me, I will retreat, and I can't bite the vicious dog. ”

"That's right!"

Cui Geng deliberately used his index finger to point back and forth at Mei Ji and Fang Ming, and repeated to Chu Jiu: "Remember, the dog bites you, you can't also learn from the dog, go and bite and come back." It's not human's work! ”

"Hey, Cui Erlang, where are your fingers?" Fang Ming had clearly felt Cui Geng's full malice in scolding Huai.

"Ah, Sanniang is here?"

Cui Geng didn't bother to look at Fang Ming at a glance, but smiled all over his face, and smiled at Mei Ji like a hundred steels turning into fingers: "Yo, you actually came with your green-haired little concubine?" Welcome, come in! ”

"You ......"

Mei Ji was so angry that she almost didn't spurt out a mouthful of blood, facing Cui Geng's face full of enthusiasm, but she couldn't start a fire.

Being embarrassed and anxious by Cui Geng, Mei Ji had no choice but to kick Fang Ming hard, and scolded as if venting: "What are you still stupid about? Let's go to the street corner and take a look, has my stepfather's car arrived? ”

Father-in-law?

Now it's Cui Geng's turn to be a little blindsided, when did Mei Ji, this, have a father-in-law in Qingyuan?

Faintly, he had a sense of ominousness, and said secretly, could it be that this girl came prepared to smash the field today?
