“Master, I was wrong. Please forgive me.”
Chen Boyu knelt on the stool, crying.
He could only stare at the dishes on the table with a dry look, his mouth drooling, but he couldn’t taste them.
“……”
Ren Bin’s face was still dark.
After all, she is your master who has taught you for more than four years.
Yu Xian has only been here for a few days?
Can you forget your dear master who has taught you with so much hardship?
Could this traitor understand how much damage a small action could cause?
Ren Bin was so angry that he asked her to kneel down and recite “Teacher’s Etiquette” silently.
“Woo woo, please spare my disciple.”
“When I return, I will study hard and learn etiquette well.”
Chen Boyu no longer had the mind to memorize the text.
The tempting aroma of the dishes on the table penetrated into her nose, as if torturing every cell in her body.
Ren Bin held his forehead and sighed.
“Forget it,” he waved his hand, “Eat it, I’ll deal with you when we get back.”
During the holidays, don’t argue with children.
Ren Bin comforted himself.
When Chen Boyu heard this, the crybaby expression on his face instantly disappeared.
He sat back down excitedly and picked up the chopsticks.
This time she learned her lesson and did not start eating immediately.
Instead, she picked up a piece of braised pork and put it in Ren Bin’s bowl.
“Master, you eat meat.”
Ren Bin took a look at the piece of “lean meat” with rich soup in the bowl, and suddenly felt a little more relieved.
At least the kid has learned his lesson and is able to correct it, right?
Even a little progress is progress.
He put the piece of meat into his mouth, was stunned for a moment, then spit it out silently, with the veins on his forehead throbbing slightly.
“This is a piece of ginger.”
He said with some gritted teeth.
The relief that had just arisen was instantly shattered into pieces.
Hard, the fist is hard.
This traitor always manages to create some terrible things for himself… “……” Chen Boyu’s body froze.
Looking at Ren Bin’s dark face, he was so scared that he didn’t even dare to move his chopsticks.
“Pfft…hahahaha…wu…” Mo Yan couldn’t hold it in for a moment and burst out laughing, but then she felt that laughing was not a good idea when educating her disciples, so she covered her mouth in a hurry.
Ren Bin looked towards Mo Yan dimly.
“Sorry, haha…” Seeing Ren Bin’s resentful look, Mo Yan almost laughed out loud again, “I, I remembered something happy.”
“OK.”
Ren Bin sighed.
“Eat well and be more careful next time.”
He glared at Chen Boyu helplessly, then picked up the food silently.
“Hey, sir, your plum wine!”
The waiter came hurriedly, carrying two jugs of warm wine on a tray.
“So much, can the Sect Master finish it?”
Ren Bin’s eyelids twitched.
These two bottles of wine, in a lifetime, could knock down a whole table of people.
“Who said I was drinking alone?”
Mo Yan pushed a wine jug towards Ren Bin, “Have a drink.”
“Now that I’m not driving a spirit boat anymore, there’s no reason to refuse, right? It’s just right for me to drink something to warm myself up.”
“…Okay.”
Ren Bin took the wine jug and filled himself a cup.
“Ma’am, do you want to drink?”
Yu Xian’s eyes lingered on Ren Bin’s wine glass for two seconds, wanting to refuse, “No…” “Junior Sister Yuxian, have a drink!”
Mo Yan interrupted her refusal and said, “This plum wine is the signature of Baiweiju. It’s not easy to come here once. Wouldn’t it be a pity if you don’t taste it?”
“……”
Yu Xian hesitated for a moment.
Ren Bin leaned closer to her face with some concern, “Madam, you don’t have to drink if you don’t want to. It’s okay.”
He had never seen Yuxian drink before, maybe she just didn’t like it.
“I…” Yu Xian shook her head, hesitated for a while, and then explained softly, “I haven’t drunk alcohol.”
“Huh?”
“My parents used to be very strict and didn’t allow me to drink. After I started practicing, I never drank again…” At that time, she was fully focused on learning swordsmanship, so how could she have time to drink?
“Then…try some?”
“Well, try some.”
Ren Bin poured a glass of wine and handed it to Yu Xian.
Yu Xian looked at the light brown wine in the glass, leaned in to smell it, and then took a sip carefully.
Then he started coughing.
“Very spicy.”
The wine was clearly just warm and had a light sweetness when first taking a sip, but why did it suddenly become hot and spicy when it reached the throat?
“Is the degree too high?”
Ren Bin also took a small sip, but luckily he was good at drinking strong liquor, so he didn’t react much.
The restaurant in Dayan has long mastered the distillation technology.
Plum wine like this is mostly made from liquor with an alcohol content of over 50 degrees.
“Forget it then,” Mo Yan could only say helplessly when she saw this, “I’m not used to drinking strong liquor for the first time.”
“I see there is some fermented rice wine suitable for children here, why don’t Junior Sister Yuxian just drink that.”
Suitable for children…Yu Xian did not answer, but instead tightly gripped the wine glass, put it to her lips under the surprised gaze of Ren Bin and Mo Yan, and drank it all in one gulp.
She swallowed the wine with difficulty, lowered her head and bit her lips, as if she was trying to endure the strange feeling of burning in her throat.
“It’s, it’s OK.”
After almost half a minute, she finally spoke with difficulty.
Ren Bin and Mo Yan looked at each other, both feeling a little amused.
“It’s OK.”
Ren Bin patted Yu Xian on the back and said, “Actually, my lady, you don’t have to drink this plum wine so quickly.”
“It’s best to drink it in small sips so you can savor the fruity aroma of the plums.”
“The last person who drank as heartily as you did,” he said, trying not to laugh.
“The last person I saw was Elder Zhu Yuan…” Elder Zhu Yuan is usually a drunkard…he often causes troubles that give the previous peak master a headache.
Yu Xian was startled for a moment, then turned her face away, her cheeks blushing.
“More?” “want.”
Yuxian pushed the wine glass over and Ren Bin poured her another glass of wine.
She picked up the wine glass, put it to her lips and sipped it slightly, and her originally frowned brows slowly relaxed.
“Hey guys, sorry to bother you again.”
Just then, Hua Wenyan suddenly came over with a wine glass in his hand.
“Master is busy upstairs, so he asked me to come down to offer him a glass of wine.”
“I wish you all a happy time first.”
Before Ren Bin could speak, she picked up the wine glass, put it to her lips, then tilted her head back and drank it all in one gulp.
“Miss Wen Yan is really heroic…” The corner of Ren Bin’s mouth twitched.
Look, the next person who drinks so generously has also been seen.
“Before I started practicing, I often drank alcohol. People always said that I could drink a thousand cups without getting drunk.”
She said with a smile.
“Master Ren Bin, this is what the master gave you.”
Hua Wenyan took out a few pieces of purple paper from his arms.
“This is…..?”
“This is a ticket for the lake cruise. Master specially asked me to give it to you.”
“When you get tired of visiting the lanterns, you can take this ticket to cruise the lake and take a rest, and enjoy the lake view and fireworks.”
“Thank you, Mr. Wei, and thank you, Miss Wenyan.”
Ren Bin took the ticket.
“Oh, by the way, Master Renbin.”
Hua Wenyan bowed and prepared to leave, but suddenly seemed to think of something and said: “It’s better not to go to Mengjiang Tower for the Lantern Festival tonight.”
“Hmm? Why?”
Ren Bin remembered that Mengjiang Tower was a good place to overlook the entire Moon Lake.
“Master and the guests are going to Mengjiang Tower to enjoy the scenery. Usually there are always a lot of people there, but I’m afraid this time there will be so many people that there won’t be any place to stand.”
“I see.”
Ren Bin looked at the ticket in his hand and nodded thoughtfully.
He also doesn’t like noisy and crowded places.
I also don’t like to negotiate with dignitaries.
