Murong Fu never looked down upon Chen Ya, the groom's official.

In his opinion, Chen Ya is just a little kid who got lucky. He has no fame and no family background. He just fell into the eyes of his aunt for some unknown reason and climbed onto the high branch of Mantuo Villa.

.

In fact, we can't blame Murong Fu for thinking this way, because everyone who doesn't know Chen Ya's life will think so.

As long as there is some ability, which man is willing to become a son-in-law?

The only thing that puzzled Murong Fu was that since Chen Ya was just a son-in-law, why did his aunt and cousin Yuyan allow him to take a concubine?

You should know that it is extremely rare for a son-in-law to take a concubine.

It's just that Murong Fu didn't bother to think too much. Isn't the son-in-law who takes a concubine a son-in-law? Haha, the son-in-law who takes a concubine is still a son-in-law.

Murong Fu originally looked down on Chen Ya, and because he couldn't see his aunt, he felt angry, so his attitude towards Chen Ya was very bad.

Just then Chen Ya picked up the wine glass and shouted: "Cousin, you..."

Before Chen Ya could finish speaking, Murong Fu raised his hand to interrupt, "Don't call me that. I am Yu Yan's cousin, but not your cousin."

Chen Ya was a little unhappy. He said in his heart that you don't admit the relationship between me and Wang Yuyan. Forget it, what will happen if you admit it or not?

Then he said: "Then, Mr. Murong..."

However, Murong Fu still refused to give him any face, "Hold on! Are you allowed to call Mr. Murong?"

Chen Ya is really a little angry now. What the hell is this? I'm giving you face, right?

He endured it and did not curse the country. In fact, he did not tolerate it just to save Wang Yuyan's face. Wang Yuyan didn't care how he treated Murong Fu.

He tolerated Murong Fu because of A'Zhu's face. A'Zhu grew up in the Murong family and had never been abused or corporally punished. It was really not easy for A'Zhu.

The Murong family has indeed been kind to A'Zhu, and this kindness is worth Chen Ya's patience at this time.

However, Chen Ya's patience was also very limited, so he directly asked: "Then what should I call you?"

Murong Fu said with a livid face: "You are not worthy to talk to me, so why do you need to address me?"

Chen Ya just laughed and did not argue. He turned to Su Shi and said, "Xiangong Su came to my humble abode, and the humble abode was filled with flowers. Because my mother-in-law has strict rules and does not see any male guests, I ordered you to entertain me and neglect me."

I’d like to thank you, Sir, for your kindness.”

Although Su Shi was also unhappy, he was different from Murong Fu because he came as a family.

His wife Wang Runzhi and his concubine Wang Chaoyun have already entered the inner house with the other female guests, and they should have the opportunity to say a few words to Li Qingluo.

Su Shi was worried that his wife and concubines did not understand government affairs. Even if he could talk to Li Qingluo, they would not be able to express his political ambitions for him. The best result would be to act as a link and persuade Li Qingluo to see him.

Since there is still a glimmer of hope, Su Shi will not say anything like Murong Fu did. Although he does not like Chen Ya, there is really no need to offend him.

So when Chen Ya toasted to invite him, he responded with a smile and drank it down happily.

But as soon as the wine entered my throat, I immediately felt something was wrong. What kind of wine was this? It smelled so delicious, but when I drank it, it felt like a sharp knife, cutting from my throat to my abdomen.

He held his breath and tried to calm down for a long time, then he took a long breath and felt the delicious fragrance in his nose.

I couldn't help but admire: "This wine from Zunfu... is so sweet! It's rare in the world. I don't know what it is called? And where did you buy it?"

Chen Ya replied with a smile: "I heard that Dongpo layman's cooking skills are exquisite and unparalleled in the world. He dare not show off his dishonor with dishes, so he can only serve his own wine to entertain guests. The name of this wine is Yanghe Daqu."

Su Shi was surprised and said: "It turns out that it is brewed by oneself. It must be Mr. Chen's unique ingenuity?"

At this time, Su Shi no longer underestimated Chen Ya. Apart from anything else, with his wine-making skills and Li Qingluo's background, given time, becoming the richest man in the Song Dynasty would not be a dream.

Chen Ya was just trying to be modest and show that he did not rely on such trivial skills to make his fortune. Unexpectedly, Murong Fu suddenly answered: "Don't let Mr. Su be deceived by him. This kind of wine is common in Xingqing Prefecture in Western Xia. It is called Xifenglie in the public."

That’s it.”

When Su Shi heard this, he looked at Chen Ya, wanting to verify the authenticity, but Chen Ya just laughed.

He laughed and said, "Xiangong Su can order someone to go to Xingqing Mansion to purchase local wine, and then we can have a drink with me, Yanghe Daqu, at the same time when we come back, and then we will know what's going on."

Su Shi saw that Chen Ya was confident in what he said and knew the truth, so he stopped continuing the topic and ordered Gao Qiu to fill up the wine glass, "Mr. Chen, thank you for your hospitality. Su will give you a drink in return!"

Chen Ya raised his glass and drank it, but then he looked at Gao Qiu and said: "A tall and strong man with impressive weapons, he must also be very good at martial arts. I would like to propose a toast to you."

During the Song Dynasty, both civil and military officials judged people based on their appearance.

Don't look at Gao Qiu's sly eyebrows and ratty eyes in later TV dramas. In fact, they are all the vilification of treacherous ministers by later generations.

The fact is that the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty were all responsible for appearance. Even Gao Qiu, who was good at Cuju, was no exception.

If you weren't handsome and handsome, how could you, a national football player, want to be promoted to the rank of commander-in-chief or lieutenant? There is no way! Even if you could make the emperor happy, you wouldn't be able to do that.

Although Chen Ya respected Su Shi and Gao Qiu at this time, he actually focused on establishing a good relationship with Gao Qiu.

You must know that more than ten years later, when Su Shi was declining, Gao Qiu joined Song Huizong. From then on, he had great power and great glory, reaching a height that Su Shi had never reached in his life.

Since Chen Ya planned to settle in Kaifeng, he didn't want to quarrel with Zhao Xu and Zhao Ji, so he first formed a good relationship with Gao Qiu, but it was a favor at no cost.

However, Gao Qiu was just a retainer at this time, and he didn't know what development he would have in the future. How could he not be flattered when he suddenly gained the respect of his master? He immediately stood up and said, "I don't dare to accept it."

Chen Ya said: "Regardless of where a hero comes from, how can the people around Su Xianggong be mediocre? I think Brother Gao is a towering figure, and he will definitely achieve great things in the future. I toasted this glass of wine first, and I only hope that Brother Gao will succeed in the future."

To achieve great success, don’t forget today.”

After several glasses of high-alcohol wine, the guests and hosts were all in high spirits, and they all became familiar with each other. Only Murong Fu drank and talked with Su Shi alone, ignoring Chen Ya and Gao Qiu.

Chen Ya was secretly amused, thinking that even with your magnanimity, you dare to dream of restoration.

Don't say that you went crazy two or three years later in the original time and space, so what if you weren't crazy? You were such a figure in charge of military power in the Northern Song Dynasty, but you offended him so early. It's strange that your Murong family became such a popular person.

At the moment, the four of them were all occupied with their own thoughts, talking nonsense and sipping the sweet wine, but suddenly they heard the sound of orchestral music coming from the inner house, carried by the wind.

A singer sang: "The east wind blows thousands of flowers and trees at night, and they blow down, and the stars are like rain. The carvings of BMWs fill the road with fragrance. The phoenix flutes sound, the jade pots turn with light, and fish and dragons dance all night."
