    Eating with gold bowls and silver chopsticks really feels different. Even food with average taste will taste a little better. Although the sound of silver chopsticks hitting the rim of the gold bowl is dull, it sounds so pleasant to the ear.

    Shi Quan took a few bites of the food and picked up the jade wine glass in front of him, but then put it down because there was no wine in it. The host invited him to a banquet but did not serve wine. Shi Quan had long been accustomed to drinking while eating, but at this time he discovered  There was no wine, so I had to drink the tea next to me.

    Although he didn't say anything, Miss Liu noticed it. She stood up and said: "Inviting people to a drink but not preparing any wine. It's very rude of me to invite people to drink. I'll come as soon as I go." At this time, the waiter who served the food  She and the two maids were sent away, and she could only go and deal with it by herself.  Shi Quan said hurriedly: "You're welcome, drinking tea is the same." Miss Liu said: "Brother Shi is a hero. He is bold enough only when he drinks. How can he have fun drinking tea." After that, he went downstairs.

    Feng Wan saw her leaving, and the other party Jinshi said: "Brother, you lied to me. You must have been familiar with her before. The two of them pretended not to know each other to tease your brother and sister-in-law. You must have known each other before, for sure." Feng Wan emphasized.  With a tone of voice, Fang Jinshi hurriedly defended: "I really don't know her, and I've never seen her before. How can I lie to you? If you don't believe me, ask her later."

    Feng Wan was still doubtful, looking at his expression to tell whether his words were true or false, Shi Quan said: "Whether you know her before or not, she is a young girl, you still have to be careful what you say."

    Fang Jinshi hurriedly agreed. Shi Quan turned around and saw Feng Wan looking at him strangely, and asked, "What do you think I did? Did I say something wrong?"

    Feng Wan chuckled and said: "That's right, it's just the other way around. When you go back, you should humbly ask your brother for advice on how to talk to young girls so that they can be happy." Shi Quan turned away without comment and said  He looks like he doesn't care about you.

    The three of them were chatting, and Miss Liu came up from below with a small wine jar in her arms. She did not let the servants and maids bring it up but carried it up herself. She put the wine jar on the table and said: "For a moment,  I couldn't find any good wine. I didn't allow them to drink. As expected, someone hid it secretly and brought it from Yanzhou, just in time to taste the wine from the northwest." Shi Quan was busy and polite: "Miss Liu is interested, drink and drink.  Tea is the same.¡±

    Miss Liu said: "It's a pleasure to meet you good friends. How can we not have wine?" After saying that, she pushed the wine jar in front of Fang Jinshi and said, "Open it." Although he said that he could open the wine jar for anyone.  It was nothing, but she ordered Fang Jinshi to open it so rudely, which made Feng Wan feel slightly different.

    Fang Jinshi was thinking in his heart, Miss Liu was able to get the wine secretly hidden by her subordinates after going down for a while. The efficiency was so high that he was surprised. It is very possible that Miss Liu always said the same thing in front of her subordinates, and no one was there.  Dare to resist, don't even dare to hide your secrets.  He opened the wine jar and was about to pour the wine when Miss Liu said: "How can I have all the fun with such a small cup?" Although the jade cup in front of him was expensive, its capacity was not large. Miss Liu walked to the row of low cabinets and opened the cabinet door.  , found four small porcelain bowls and placed them on the table: "This kind of bowl is enough for fun."

    Fang Jinshi poured wine into the small bowls in front of the four of them. For selfish reasons, he poured a little less into Feng Wan's and his own bowls. Miss Liu picked up the wine bowl and stood up and said to Shi Quan: "Brother and sister-in-law Shi, can I meet you two?"  It's such an honor to serve you, I'll give you a bowl." Shi Quan and Feng Wan stood up, watching her finish the bowl of wine in one go, Shi Quan couldn't help but praise: "Miss Liu has a good drinker."

    Before these words were spoken, Miss Liu coughed several times, then turned and ran to the stone sink. She was not good at drinking, and she drank too much for a while and kept coughing. Feng Wan brought tea and rinsed her mouth.  After a while, she regained her composure. Miss Liu said to Feng Wan, "Thank you, sister-in-law." She went to the water, washed her face and dried it with a brocade handkerchief. She turned around, still smiling, and said to Shi Quan, "I've finished drinking.  Brother Shi and sister-in-law haven¡¯t drank yet.¡±

    Shi Quan saw that she, a weak woman, could be so forthright. Regardless of whether he was a man or a woman, as long as he drank happily, Shi Quan thought that she was a close friend. His affection for her doubled. Without saying much, he took the wine bowl and drank it all in one gulp. Feng Wan followed.  After drinking too, Miss Liu praised: "You two really enjoyed it." After saying that, she turned to look at Fang Jinshi.

    Because she had just said that she was respectful to Shiquan and his wife, naturally excluding Fang Jinshi, so Fang Jinshi sat beside him and did not drink. Seeing her turning to look at him, Fang Jinshi took the initiative to pick up the bowl and stood up and said, "I'll take this bowl of wine."  Drink.¡±

    Ms. Liu suddenly reached out and covered his wine bowl with her palm. Fang Jinshi was stunned for a moment. Ms. Liu slowly took the wine bowl in his hand and put it on the table and said, "You made me angry. Please make it clear before you drink."

    Fang Jinshi was stunned, and then he immediately smiled and said: "I know I was wrong. What I said just now was inappropriate and offensive. My elder brother also scolded me. I apologize to you." After saying this, he bowed to Miss Liu, but Miss Liu  Turn your backGo: "That's not it."

    Feng Wan saw that this girl was straightforward and straightforward when she was drinking, but now she was so coy and childish. The key was that they and her husband were present. It seemed that this girl was not only straightforward and straightforward in doing things, but also did not care about other people's opinions.  Also, if Feng Wan is asked to believe that this girl did not know her brother before, she will not believe it.

    Fang Jinshi stood there and said awkwardly: "I really want to offend Miss Liu in some way, can you make it clear?"

    Ms. Liu turned around and said, "Okay, let me ask you, didn't I ask you to come here with your wife and concubines? But you came alone. You must be looking down on me. Should I be angry?"

    Fang Jinshi hurriedly said: "How dare you look down on the girl? I live far away. It takes a long time to travel back and forth. I'm afraid I will miss Miss Liu's banquet. Don't be angry, Miss Liu."

    Ms. Liu turned around and said, "Then bring your wives and concubines earlier next time." Fang Jinshi agreed casually, "Definitely."

    Ms. Liu poured herself a bowl of wine, held it up and said, "Okay, I'll drink a bowl with you, but don't lie to me with empty promises, I will be serious."

    Fang Jinshi also picked up the wine bowl and said, "This is a trivial matter, how could I lie to you." Miss Liu nodded and asked, "How many wives and concubines does Mr. Fang have?"

    Fang Jinshi also felt that there was no need to hide it from her, so he answered honestly: "Four." Miss Liu looked calm, took the wine bowl and touched his bowl lightly: "Okay, I will give you this bowl of wine.  I enjoyed it immensely.¡±

    Fang Jinshi raised the wine bowl in his hand and said, "I also respect Miss Liu, your wishes have come true and everything has gone well." After speaking, he picked up the wine bowl and drank it all. This northwest wine was not rich enough, and the aftertaste was a bit spicy and bitter.  Fang Jinshi thought it was much worse than peach blossom wine.

    After Fang Jinshi finished drinking, he put down the wine bowl, but Miss Liu in front of him did not drink like him, but stared at him with the bowl in hand. Fang Jinshi said: "This wine is a bit spicy, you don't want to drink it, I can drink it for you.  "

    Ms. Liu said quietly: "It would be great if everything comes true and everything goes well." She raised her neck and drank the bowl of wine. Although she drank it unpleasantly, she didn't cough again.

    Feng Wan saw her and Fang Jinshi talking about his wife and concubines without any change in expression, just like a familiar outsider chatting casually, and she felt a little bit wrong in her previous judgment.

    After Miss Liu finished the bowl of wine, she sat down and took the soup spoon and scooped the three crispy soup into her golden bowl. She only scooped a little bit at a time. Although her hands kept moving, her face was expressionless. She suddenly became quiet.  , I don¡¯t know if I remembered something else.

    No one spoke for a while, and Feng Wan said: "Miss Liu, my brother also lived in Yanzhou City before. I wonder if you have met before?" Miss Liu said calmly: "Why don't you ask him first?"

    Feng Wan looked at Fang Jinshi. Fang Jinshi knew that Feng Wan wanted to find out the details and tone of Miss Liu, so he said: "Although Yanzhou City is far inferior to Bianliang in Tokyo, it is not too small. Miss Liu and I live together."  We live in the same city, but we have never met each other, as if we have never met each other in other places."

    Ms. Liu said two words without raising her head: "Nonsense."

    Fang Jin asked Shi Daqi, "Have we met before? Why do I have no memory at all?"

    Only then did Miss Liu raise her head: "When I saw you, you were so proud that everyone was watching. Your eyes were on the top of your head. How could you see an ordinary little girl in the crowd?"

    Fang Jinshi said: "Where is it? I will definitely remember it if you tell me."

    Miss Liu smiled: "If you take a closer look at who I look like, you might remember it. Maybe we took a boat together and crossed a ferry, maybe we were in the same tavern, maybe you said to me on a certain bridge.  I was walking east, and we passed each other, but you never noticed me, but I noticed you." After hearing this, Fang Jinshi looked at Miss Liu seriously. He thought he had never seen anything like Liu.  He must have had some impression of a girl with such a delicate appearance after seeing her once. Miss Liu tilted her head to look at him, not afraid of him, and winked at him, as if to say, who do you think I look like?

    Fang Jinshi looked at it and felt that her appearance was familiar. She seemed to be similar to some people he had seen before, but he also felt that she looked like this person and that person, but he couldn't tell a reason. Feng Wanshi hoped that he could  Suddenly remembering it, they all waited quietly.  Fang Jinshi slapped his thigh and said loudly: "I know, there is a big restaurant in the government office at the south gate of Yanzhou City. What's its name? I even had a drink there. The owner of the restaurant is named Liu, which is very special.  It must be your elders who have the money."

    Ms. Liu smiled lowly: "The area near the government office at the south gate of Yanzhou City is a cattle and horse market. There are no big restaurants. There is not a single restaurant with the surname Liu in Yanzhou City. Do you think I don't know that?"

      Fang Jinshi wanted to lure her to look for clues, but to no avail. He sat down again and said, "If you tell me where we met, I must know who you are." Miss Liu said: "  If I tell you the place where we met, I might as well tell you directly who I am, that would be boring, but I can tell you the first time I met you. If you can remember it, you will know who I am."

    Fang Jinshi said hurriedly: "Tell me about it."

    Miss Liu said: "I remember that there was a lot of wind that day. My brother sent me out of the city. At the city gate, you happened to be pulling the horse into the city. I didn't notice you at the time until I left the city gate. My brother said that he had just passed by.  The person holding the horse was probably Fang Jinshi. I quickly turned back and saw that you had gone a long way and were out of sight before leaving the city again."

    Fang Jinshi felt a little strange and said, "Does your brother recognize me? What do you think I do?"

    Ms. Liu laughed and said, "I'm curious. My brother travels around all year round and has seen a lot. Is there anything strange about meeting you?"

    She said so much, but Fang Jinshi didn't find any valuable clues. Fang Jinshi scratched his scalp and said, "Brother, please tell me your name." Miss Liu said, "You did something wrong and offended me.  My brother, my brother has complained about you, and he doesn¡¯t want you to know that he is dissatisfied with you, so I can¡¯t tell you my brother¡¯s name.¡±

    Fang Jinshi sighed and said: "Then I really couldn't guess. I passed by so many city gates when I was in the northwest, and it seemed like the wind was blowing there every day. The people I knew were more or less, but who were they?  There is a sister, and I really don¡¯t know. We only met that once? Have we seen each other since?"

    Miss Liu said: "I don't know about that. Maybe we really took the same boat and crossed the same intersection, but it's not necessarily the same." This girl had a very strict tone. Although she said a lot, she didn't say anything useful.  Completely asking him a riddle, Fang Jinshi said, "If the girl refuses to say anything, then I'll go back and think about it carefully." After speaking, he took a sip of tea.

    Feng Wanshi saw that he couldn't ask, and was worried for him, but the person involved couldn't remember it, and neither of them could do anything.

    "It's a shame that you were so smart all your life, but you were also confused for a while." Miss Liu said, "Do you know my name?"

    Fang Jinshi's eyes lit up, he raised his head and asked, "What's the girl's name" Miss Liu rolled her eyes at him and said, "You are stupid too, how can you tell others your daughter's family name casually?"

    Fang Jinshi was stunned. Since she refused to tell him, she hinted to Fang Jinshi to ask, but he didn't know what she meant.

    "The hibiscus is like the face and the willow is like the eyebrows." Miss Liu read out this Tang poem, which made Fang Jinshi turn his head to look at her. She seemed to be talking to herself: "When I was born, I already had four brothers. My father was already there."  He was not young and wanted a daughter very much. When he saw that he had given birth to a daughter, his father was very happy. He hid in the study and looked through all the books, trying to give his daughter a good name, until he came across Bai Letian's  Collection of poems." She stopped talking at this point. Fang Jinshi thought to himself, it turned out that this girl Liu's name was Liu Rumei, but the name was still very unfamiliar and he had never heard of it before.

    Ms. Liu said: "Mr. Fang, tell me honestly, has anyone mentioned this name to you before?"

    Fang Jinshi shook his head and said, "Not really." Miss Liu said, "Thank God, they haven't sold me yet."

    Fang Jinshi heard this strangely and asked, "Who dares to sell you?"

    Liu Rumei said: "If you interrupt, I won't say anything."

    Fang Jinshi hurriedly said: "You say it, you say it."

    Liu Rumei continued: "My eldest brother said that this poem is about Yang Yuhuan, a peerless beauty in the Tang Dynasty. Do you think you can take it? My second brother said that Yang Yuhuan's beauty brought disaster to the country and the people. With this name, it has nothing to do with her.  Geely, my third brother said, Bai Letian's poem "Hibiscus is like a face and willows are like eyebrows", the next line is "How can I not shed tears about this", it is too unlucky, they all persuaded me to change my name, only my fourth brother said, everyone has their destiny in life, if  If you can change your destiny by changing your name, what do you need the gods in the sky to do?"

    She said so many words, but Fang Jin, Shi Shiquan and the others didn't understand what she meant, and they were all silent. Liu Rumei said: "Do you think my three brothers are right, or my fourth brother is right?  .¡±

    Fang Jinshi said: "It seems to make sense, but I don't know anymore."

    Liu Rumei's voice deepened and she said, "Actually, I believe what my fourth brother said. As of now, it's my destiny, so there's nothing to complain about." Fang Jinshi saw her suddenly look gloomy, wondering what happened to her.  She was still very enthusiastic when she was drinking, and she didn't seem to say anything, but her mood quickly dropped again.

    Shi Quan and Feng Wan looked at each other, and Feng Wan comforted her and said: "In life, you will always encounter difficulties. Sometimes you want toOpen some and things might not be so bad after all.  "She didn't know what happened to Liu Rumei, so her words of comfort were hollow.

    Liu Rumei made up her mind, then suddenly laughed and said: "What I said just now were all made up nonsense, you don't really believe it, do you?"
