Chapter 79: Boiling Wine
He tugged at the corner of his mouth helplessly and lifted the wine bottle that Shang Xiuxun had just placed on the stove. He took a wine glass from the table and placed it straight. The sake was poured slowly from the jug, and bursts of aroma filled the nose.
Li Xiuning sniffed it with enjoyment. It was indeed a fine wine, and only in the north could such a fine wine be produced.
"May I ask the owner, is this the daughter's red wine that has been collected for sixty years?" This is a famous specialty wine in the north, but generally speaking, wine that has been thirty years old is still a wine that can be used for grand occasions.
This sixty-year-old is really rare. Li Xiuning is quite confident in her wine tasting skills, but she just doesn't know what Shang Xiuxun is thinking now.
It's just that Shang Xiuxun was still drinking the contents of his cup. He didn't seem to hear what Li Xiuning was saying at all, but his expression seemed to be expecting Li Xiuning to continue talking...
No matter what, let’s give it a try. If Li Xiuning goes back in such disgrace now, then she will definitely be too shameless to see Shang Xiuxun tomorrow, which will definitely waste some time. She has no time to waste now. "Since the owner doesn't say anything, Xiuning must be right. Then let Xiuning continue to guess where the wine came from."
Shang Xiuxun glanced at Li Xiuning with a smile, looking somewhat interested. It's just that I don't know if she can guess the origin of this wine...
"According to Xiuning's guess, this wine must have been buried by the owner of the farm himself. And there are more than just this bottle." Having said that, Li Xiuning did not forget to observe Shang Xiuxun's expression at this time, which was quite normal. Then he continued: "It's just that, it can be seen that the owner of the venue cherishes this fine wine very much. And he has always enjoyed it exclusively for himself, and has never taken it out to show off on big occasions. It must have been decided by the owner's predecessor. "
The reason why she could guess this was actually because the jar of wine was still in Shang Xiuxun's room, and it was also placed in a mahogany box specially made for this wine steel.
It can be seen that Shang Xiuxun attaches great importance to this wine, otherwise Zhumen would not have ordered such a good red peach wood box for this wine, and the size is just right, and there is some soft cloth inside the box. Presumably it was to prevent the wine jar from being damaged. It seems that the owner has put a lot of effort into this drink...
In addition, when I picked up the wine bottle just now. Obviously Shang Xiuxun was a little nervous, but maybe because she was from the Li family, she couldn't stop her. Although Shang Xiuxun's changes were extremely subtle, they still couldn't escape the corner of Li Xiuning's eyes. As members of the royal family, one of their greatest abilities is to observe their emotions...
Although Shang Xiuxun didn't speak, he felt some recognition of Li Xiuning in his heart. The fire on the stove became slightly smaller, and the only voice left in the room was Li Xiuning.
"The reason why the owner has never brought this wine to a big event is probably because the previous owner's strict family rules prevented him from serving this wine to guests." As he spoke, Li Xiuning noticed that Shang Xiuxun seemed to be nodding slightly.
The contents of the cup were gulped down in one gulp. It was better to drink the wine while it was still hot. Li Xiuning also added a glass of wine for herself without hesitation. The slightly cool weather outside, coupled with this cup of Zinuhong that has been collected for 60 years, really has a unique flavor...
"Yes, your guess is correct. But how did you see it?" Shang Xiuxun was curious. She had never mentioned these things to outsiders. However, what Li Xiuning said was absolutely correct. What was going on?
Li Xiuning just smiled: "Actually, it's not difficult to guess. As long as you use your heart, everything can be seen with your heart." It just depends on whether you are willing to waste your energy on these things.
Shang Xiuxun did not continue to ask, but just held the empty cup in his hand and played with it. She really wanted to know what Li Xiuning wanted to express after talking so much nonsense to her.
She wouldn't believe any nonsense like chatting with her. From her own experience over the years, she usually went to the Three Treasures Palace for anything.
"Is Xiuning right?" Li Xiuning obviously asked knowingly. Just by looking at Shang Xiuxun's face, you can tell whether what he said is correct. He just wanted Shang Xiuxun to say something.
It can be seen that the owner of the venue is not in a good mood today, so it would be better to find a way to make her happy.
Shang Xiuxun nodded slightly and said, "Yes, you are right. Although I am curious about how you know, I am not interested in knowing." Shang Xiuxun said what he was thinking. , this is what I am thinking. The reason why I can tell Li Xiuning so frankly is simply because of the relationship between the two. She is the active one, while Li Xiuning is undoubtedly the passive one, so she can be so unscrupulous...
Li Xiuning was stunned. He didn't expect Shang Xiuxun's words to be so direct. Suddenly I didn't know what to say, so I had to apologize to Shang Xiuxun. Then he apologized to Shang Xiuxun, but to his surprise, Shang Xiuxun didn't seem to mind at all.
"Master, I don't seem to be in high spirits tonight, but if you have anything on your mind, please tell Xiuning. Maybe Xiuning can give you some advice..." Li Xiuning took the initiative to speak, and it was obvious that Shang Xiuxun It seemed like there was something he wanted to say but couldn't.
It's just that I don't know if she believes in herself, but now she can only act like a dead horse.
Shang Xiuxun glanced at her and said, "Miss Li, let's make it clear that people don't tell secrets. Although we haven't said it out loud, we all know the purpose of your trip. I think you should each have your own way. It’s better to come up with something that can convince me. It’s getting late now, so I’d better send Miss Song Li back to the room.”
Li Xiuning didn't expect that Shang Xiuxun would be like this
Directly, then I won’t have to bother myself too much. After opening the door for Shang Xiuxun, he left knowingly.
Shang Xiuxun's servant followed him inseparably all the way. ..
