Zhongli Yixue is the gentle second female lead in this book. She is the second young master of the Zhongli family and has a twin sister, Zhongli Yifei, who is the heir of the Zhongli family.

When I left, the willows were swaying gently; now I return, the rain and snow are falling heavily.

This is the origin of their names.

Zhongli Yixue's mother, who is also the current head of the Zhongli family, was the last disciple of Madam Shen when she was a professor in the Department of Finance at the Capital University. Therefore, she can also be considered Madam Shen's grand-disciple.

They often visited Madam Shen, so the younger generation of the Shen family were quite familiar with her.

Furthermore, one of Mr. Shen's cousins ​​married one of Zhong Liyixue's maternal great-aunts and now lives in Australia.

Therefore, the two families are somewhat related.

"Sister Yixue is so amazing." Shen Juanchi stared longingly at the wine glass in Shen Bei'an's hand.

The six arts of a gentleman—music, chess, calligraphy, and painting—are required for the sons of prominent families in the capital, but skills such as cooking and winemaking are not.

The other younger generation were mostly the same. Old Master Shen frowned, constantly fiddling with a black chess piece in his hand.

"One cup per person, no more." She said, looking at Gu Nanyan with a hint of reproach, "Keep an eye on your husband. He's drunk so much by himself, how can that be?"

Shen Bei'an: ? ? What are you talking about? I just drank a few extra cups of misidentified water, what do you mean by asking Gu Nan'an to control me?

"No, old man, I only drank a few cups of the Mistake Water. In a few days, I'll just send over a few jars of peach blossom wine." With that, she drank the Mistake Water in one gulp, turned the empty cup upside down, and showed it to Old Master Shen. Her stunningly beautiful face was radiant, and her peach blossom eyes were curved, full of starlight.

"Uncle Zhao, bring a few more bottles, anyway, the alcohol content of this 'Cuoren' water isn't high. I'll send over a few jars of peach blossom wine in a few days." She looked up at Butler Zhao, who had just taken the 'Cuoren' water, and said, then took Old Madam Shen's hand, "Mom~ I brewed your favorite peach blossom wine~ I personally selected all the peach blossoms and peaches." She completely ignored Old Master Shen.

"An'an, a few drinks before bed are fine, but don't overdo it." Gu Nanyan got up, bent down, took the cup from Shen Bei'an's hand, slowly turned to look at him, the corners of his lips slightly upturned, his phoenix eyes filled with doting affection. "Uncle Zhao, just share it with them, no need to prepare one for An'an. Just prepare a cup of honey grapefruit water." He stood up and said.

Shen Bei'an was displeased upon hearing this, "I only had a few drinks! You know the alcohol content of this misidentified water. Even if I drank all of Uncle Zhao's water, I wouldn't get drunk."

"Besides, I haven't had a drink in ages." Her words carried a hint of dissatisfaction, yet also a touch of coquettishness. She stood up and reached for the glass.

Gu Nanyan reached out and pressed his shoulder, "An'an, you can't drink much anyway. Have you forgotten that you got drunk and slept at Nightfall last time?" He whispered softly in his ear.

Shen Bei'an: Last time... wasn't it that awkward time?

He himself wasn't a very good drinker, earning him the nickname "one-cup wonder," and what he really didn't expect was that this Fifth Master was also a one-cup wonder.

The lychee wine last time only had an alcohol content of two or three degrees, so a small sip was enough to make me pass out.

Fortunately, no one dared to force this Fifth Master to drink alcohol while he was out and about; otherwise, with that face and that physique, who knows what might have happened to him.

"It's my own home! What does it matter!" Master Shen said: Yes, I know I can't handle a drink, but this is really delicious! And it's my own home, what could possibly happen?
