After Gu Xin recovered from a serious illness, she discovered that her whole family had changed.
Her father, who was a gambling addict and nearly sold his wife and daughter, said he would nev...
At the restaurant, Peng Sanlang and Lu Zheng had finished their daily dose of strong liquor, but they were still not satisfied.
Peng Sanlang waved his hand and ordered the shopkeeper to bring out all the stored wine.
The Gu sisters looked at Peng Sanlang speechlessly. "Are you trying to send money to our family?"
The Gu family has its own distillery, but they only started building and brewing it this January. They brew all the spirits, fruit wines, and flower wines based on recipes from Gu Shouxin.
The wine sold in Kuncheng in the past was still purchased by the restaurant from the winery in Cizhou. Even though the official road is better than before, the transportation cost is still there, so the wine is more expensive than in other prefectures. It's impossible for them not to make money in business.
Gu Nian looked at Peng Erlang and discussed with him whether they should just call it a day.
Our two families are related by marriage, so it's not appropriate for me to make money off your family like this. For your sake, let's leave it at that for today.
Before Peng Erlang could even speak, Peng Sanlang immediately denied it.
Peng Sanlang meant that today was a matter between him and Zhou Yuan, a man-to-man affair, and money was not to be mentioned.
The other three Peng brothers cheered, but they were all thinking to themselves, "When you wake up tomorrow and see that all the money you've saved over the years is gone, I wonder if you'll regret it."
Seeing that she couldn't reason with him, Gu Nian had no choice but to let the waiter come in and get more wine.
As for the money, well, let the shopkeeper decide for herself; she's just not cut out for business.
Then Peng Sanlang continued to drink with Lu Zheng.
Lu Zheng remained seated, while Peng Sanlang had already made a trip to the outhouse.
The three Peng brothers realized that Zhou Yuan had won!
No, with so many young men in their family, they couldn't afford to lose face, so they went straight to Meng Meng and Huo Junhao for a drink.
Huo Junhao knew Meng Meng's drinking capacity; it was no less than his two older brothers' and even comparable to his second uncle's. So, he arrogantly declared that having his brother Meng was enough.
So when Peng Sanlang returned, the scene turned into the four Peng brothers facing off against Lu Zheng and Meng Meng.
It's still rock-paper-scissors.
Half an hour later, Peng Wulang collapsed from drunkenness.
Another half hour passed, and Peng Erlang collapsed from drunkenness.
Only Peng Sanlang and Peng Silang remained.
Huo Yanyu was still saying things to provoke Peng Silang!
Peng Silang is usually not easily provoked, but since he's already drunk so much, well, he'll skip the bowl and just grab the jar and come with Meng Meng.
Meng Meng shouted, "Good! I've long been fed up with these bowls and dishes! The jar is good!"
General Lang, I, your humble servant, will drink first as a sign of respect!
Meng Meng was Lu Zheng's subordinate and was in charge of people, but in terms of rank, he was not as high as Peng Lang of the naval camp.
Seeing that Meng Meng had started drinking, Peng Lang also put his feet on a stool, tilted his head back, lifted the jar, and poured it into his mouth.
Not to be outdone, Peng Sanlang grabbed a jar and called Lu Zheng to join him. They decided to skip the drinking game and finish the wine jar by jar, with the first one to collapse losing.
Lu Zheng shrugged indifferently.
Gu Xin was very worried and kept a close eye on her brother Yuanyuan. If anything seemed wrong, she would feed him the jade beads directly.
Unfortunately, Lu Zheng didn't give her a chance.
Lu Zheng has been perfectly fine; he doesn't even walk crookedly.
Finally, all the wine in the jar on the ground was drunk up, Peng Sanlang collapsed, but Peng Silang was still able to stand.
On the other hand, Lu Zheng and Meng Meng, apart from their faces being a little red, had very clear eyes.
It was getting dark outside. They had been drinking all afternoon and had finished all the drinks at the restaurant.
