Chapter 78: Night Party
Shang Xiuxun specially sent someone to keep an eye on Lu Miaozi today. Unexpectedly, the old man didn't leave the small building for a whole day. Could it be that he had discovered his spy? Just as he was wondering, someone knocked on the door outside. Shang Xiuxun said casually, "Come in."
The person who came turned out to be Li Xiuning. Shang Xiuxun didn't expect this. He thought that the earliest would be tomorrow.
Unexpectedly, Miss Li was really thick-skinned. Li Xiuning walked in slowly. At this time, there were only the two of them in Shang Xiuxun's room, and there were two servants guarding outside the room so that the owner could call them at any time when needed.
"I come to see you so late, I hope the owner won't be offended." Li Xiuning bowed slightly and stood in front of Shang Xiuxun in a proper manner. It seemed that she had something to say, but Shang Xiuxun didn't expect Miss Li to be so bold. She came out alone in the middle of the night. If something happened, how could she, the owner, explain to the Li family?
At that time, maybe it was just the four bandits besieging her Pegasus Ranch, and I'm afraid the Li family would not let her go.
She couldn't help but get angry, blaming Li Xiuning for being too careless. Looking out the door, she didn't even bring a close servant. If someone with ulterior motives knew about it, it would be a dead end.
With the current power of the Li family, there are so many people who are jealous. How could they be so careless!
Li Xiuning seemed to feel something and looked up at Shang Xiuxun.
The latter's face was not very good, and it was obvious that he didn't want to talk, and you'd better get out of here now. Li Xiuning was a little worried. Was she too reckless to bet everything on one throw?
She immediately changed her mind. Tonight, she wanted to open the carriage to Shang Xiuxun to explain her purpose and let Shang Xiuxun make a decision, so that she could go back and report to her eldest brother as soon as possible.
After all, she was not born to be good at intrigue. It would be better to resolve this matter as soon as possible, otherwise, as long as Kou Zhong is here, it will be difficult for me to act calmly, and I may end up making things worse at any minute, just like tonight.
I wanted to resolve this matter as soon as possible, but Shang Xiuxun's face seemed not very good. Suddenly, Li Xiuning was a little unsure about her words, otherwise, if she refused me out of displeasure, wouldn't it be a waste of all her efforts to come to this place from such a long distance.
"The princess must have something to visit so late, so it's okay to say it." Shang Xiuxun made a gesture of sitting down, and then poured tea by herself. It was indeed a bit cold at night. It was just right for boiling wine and drinking a few cups to relax and cultivate one's character, but considering that Li Xiuning was born in the royal family, she must not drink a drop of wine. I had to change to tea.
Li Xiuning saw the wine utensils on the table, and lit the stove without saying a word. The process of boiling wine was carried out in an orderly manner, and he was not in a hurry for the purpose of his trip. Shang Xiuxun watched quietly on the side, without saying a word.
But in her heart, she was very curious about Li Xiuning's wine-making skills. She didn't expect that she could even do this. It seemed that she had underestimated him.
"Owner, try it..." As he said that, Li Xiuning personally poured a glass of wine for Shang Xiuxun, and the aroma of the wine came to her face. The fragrance was refreshing and there was a unique and intoxicating taste of wine. The mellow taste made people linger. Shang Xiuxun had already given Li Xiuning countless thumbs up in her heart at this time. However, on the surface, it was still calm and there were no ups and downs.
The days in the rivers and lakes made her understand that if people can see your emotions from your face, then you must be a street person. The real masters are often those who do not show their emotions. And, that is the guarantee of survival. If she can be seen through so easily, her life would have been gone long ago. How can she still live until now?
Shang Xiuxun took a sip and then drank the whole glass of wine. Her dissatisfaction with Li Xiuning seemed to disappear with the wine. What was left was only a slight drunkenness.
"I didn't expect Miss Li to know this. I really admire her." Shang Xiuxun curled her lips and smiled in an ambiguous way. Li Xiuning didn't know what she meant by this, so she had to smile at the side.
However, she was still quite confident in her wine-making skills, which was personally recognized by her eldest brother. So, she dared to show off in front of Shang Xiuxun...
Shang Xiuxun slowly put down the wine glass and glanced at Li Xiuning. She knew a little about her purpose tonight, but it was not easy to say it out loud. After all, it was her business. However, the decision was in her hands.
Li Xiuning was not sure what Shang Xiuxun meant for a while, but after all, she didn't have much time.
It would be best if it could be resolved quickly. My eldest brother sent a letter yesterday urging me to win over Shang Xiuxun as soon as possible. However, it is easy to say, but it is not easy to do it.
In addition, she is still a little unsure of Shang Xiuxun's intentions, and it is difficult to make a decision for the time being. She can only observe for a while before making a decision.
Each of them has their own little thoughts. Li Xiuning smiled and put the wine pot back on the stove. Slowly sat on the wooden chair, showing the royal style in every gesture.
Shang Xiuxun looked carefully, and she couldn't guess what Li Xiuning meant now.
"Don't worry, owner. Xiuning came tonight. It's just to talk to you about your children's worries..." Li Xiuning said with interest, looking at Shang Xiuxun. Tonight is really not suitable for talking about national affairs.
Shang Xiuxun did not answer, but just picked up the wine pot and poured wine into his own glass. He was unsure of Li Xiuning's meaning for a moment, but what else could they talk about besides business?
Li Xiuning saw Shang Xiuxun
did not answer, and the situation was inevitably a little awkward for a moment. Li Xiuning did not continue with his original topic. I think he was a little abrupt.
There was nothing to talk about between the two of them, and it seemed a bit too much to say so now. ..
