Chapter 116
"Haha, Your Highness, you've come to the right person. This fine wine is a secret recipe unique to my Huo family. However, it's not for sale to the public yet. Please try it, Your Highness. If you like it, I'll have someone send you a pot later as a small gift to commemorate our acquaintance." After saying this, Huo Yunxuan poured a bowl for Xu Heming.
The wine in the bowl was slightly yellow, and its rich aroma, carrying the scent of time, slowly unfolded. Xu Heming felt intoxicated even before he had tasted the wine.
"It is indeed good wine!" Xu Heming had to admit that the wine Huo Yunxuan had brought out was indeed good wine.
"Come, Your Highness, it's fate that we met. This bowl is for you." Huo Yunxuan picked up the wine bowl and said with a hearty expression.
It was as if the person opposite him was not a prince at all, but a close friend like Li Tianyou.
This was the first time Xu Heming had experienced such a relationship; it felt both unfamiliar and, seemingly, not unwelcome.
Seeing Huo Yunxuan's forthright manner, Xu Heming's guard relaxed a little.
Just a little.
At this time, Xu Heming did not intend to become close to Huo Yunxuan; he simply treated it as entertaining Li Tianyou's friend on his behalf.
After all, a son-in-law is like half a son. Right now, Li Tianyou must be extremely busy. I can do something for him so that Li Tianyou will hold a grudge against me less.
"I'll drink first as a sign of respect, Prince An, please feel free to drink as you please." Huo Yunxuan finished the entire bowl of wine and said with a smile.
Xu Heming then picked up the wine in his hand, took a small sip, and indeed found it to be mellow and flavorful with an unforgettable aftertaste: "Good wine!"
Xu Heming praised.
"If Your Highness likes it, I'll have Laifu send you a jug later. Next time we go to Li'an County, we'll definitely prepare more for Your Highness. This wine is rare, so I brought two jugs with me," Huo Yunxuan said with a smile.
"I am truly sorry to have troubled you, Young Master Huo. This wine is indeed fine, and it has already been an expense for you to treat me to wine today. How about I offer you some silver to buy another pot instead?" Xu Heming naturally refused to accept anything from Huo Yunxuan.
However, he did want this wine.
It's still very important to appease your future father-in-law.
"This..." Although Huo Yunxuan was excited, a troubled expression still flashed across his face.
"Young Master Huo, please name your price." Xu Heming thought that Huo Yunxuan hadn't said anything because the price was too high. Considering that this wine was indeed a top-quality wine, he could accept a higher price.
Besides, who is Li Tianyou?
The richest man in Lanno.
What good things haven't I seen?
Since he likes this wine, there must be a reason for it.
“Prince An, didn’t I say that this wine was a gift for you? Talking about money now would only hurt our feelings,” Huo Yunxuan said with a troubled expression.
His reluctance only fueled Xu Heming's determination to get his hands on the wine.
"Three hundred taels!" Xu Heming glanced at the wine pot. If a pot of wine cost three hundred taels, that was already an astronomical price in the capital.
“Prince An, this wine is from my personal collection and I’m not selling it.” Huo Yunxuan shook his head, looking reluctant to part with it.
Xu Heming frowned. If he wouldn't sell for three hundred taels, then the price was too low.
"Six hundred taels!" Xu Heming offered another price.
