Chapter 661
If it weren't for Yunxi, the wine in this palace would be far beyond what a barefoot doctor like him could afford!
"What are you saying? You helped Xi'er so much back then, this is only what you should do!" Chen Zongwen said. "We'll split this wine in half!"
As he spoke, Chen Zongwen picked up his wine cup, but instead of drinking it, he handed it to Doctor Feng.
Doctor Feng also picked up his wine cup and gently clinked it with his: "Oh, mine all smells like medicine. It would be a waste to leave it with me. It's better to leave it with you! Whenever I want to drink, I don't even need to prepare any snacks!"
The two laughed heartily and each drank their wine in one gulp.
However, the next moment, they all sprayed out at once.
"puff--"
The two looked at each other, then couldn't help but look down at the wine in their cups.
Is this wine or a knife?
The wine Chen Zongwen usually drinks is mild yet strong, but these wines are completely mild; once you drink one, you can't even swallow them!
But this is indeed wine sent by the Prince of Yunnan.
Both Chen Zongwen and Doctor Feng had very complicated expressions.
After a long pause, Doctor Feng said, "I've heard that the King of Yunnan is a regional lord who guards a region. Such a heroic and spirited man truly deserves only wine like this!"
Chen Zongwen smirked, "You're right..."
They shouldn't try to be tough.
Fortunately, the wine wasn't something that couldn't be stored for long. The two of them worked together to move the wine to an empty room to store it properly, planning to take it with them when they returned to Luoyang in the future.
The two of them didn't drink a drop of wine, but instead busied themselves for a long time.
Then, Chen Zongwen and Doctor Feng, unwilling to waste the jar of wine that had already been opened, each drank half of it, their faces contorted with rage.
——
Two days later, Yunxi received a letter from Madam Chen.
Knowing about the grand spectacle Chen Zongwen had made that night, Yunxi laughed so hard she almost fell over.
Just then, Zhong Jie came over and, seeing her smiling so happily, asked, "What's wrong?"
Yunxi handed her the letter, still unable to stop smiling.
After reading it, Zhong Jie's eyes widened: "Your dad can't drink strong liquor?"
Yunxi finally managed to stop laughing and said, "It's not like you can't drink it at all."
Zhong Jie sighed helplessly, "You silly girl."
She originally intended to please him and repay his kindness in raising her without giving birth to her for so many years, which is why she gave away all the wine from the Prince's mansion. Who would have thought that things would turn out like this?
However, Zhong Jie wouldn't blame Yunxi. She just needed to find some good wine in Luoyang City and send it to her as soon as possible.
Lost in thought, Zhong Jie was so engrossed in her thoughts that she only snapped out of it after Yun Xi called her several times: "Mother, why did you suddenly come here?"
Zhong Jie slapped her forehead: "Didn't you ask me to find some people for you a couple of days ago? I've already found them, they're right outside, shall we go take a look?"
Yunxi nodded.
As soon as you step out of the gate of Shanshui Residence, you see two rows of people standing in front of the gate, six in each row. They are dressed in the most common cloth clothes of ordinary people, and their appearance is no different from that of ordinary people walking around the streets.
At least at a glance, Yunxi could tell that they were exceptionally strong, but if they were mixed in with a crowd, Yunxi probably wouldn't recognize them.
"How about it?"
Yunxi nodded: "With these people around, I shouldn't have anything to worry about."
“These? These aren’t enough!” As soon as Zhong Jie finished speaking, several people appeared out of thin air in front of her. “These six are your father’s personal guards and will be following you in secret.”
It's best to have people arranged both openly and secretly to ensure everything goes smoothly.
Yunxi blinked: "Mother, actually I don't think the Su family in Luoyang might have that many people..."
Yunxi already felt she was making a mountain out of a molehill by asking Zhong Jie to arrange someone for her, but she never expected Zhong Jie to actually send out such an expert.
"Being prepared is always better than being caught off guard."
