Du Suxi returned to her room and saw Murong Fu setting up a small stove on the small table with a pot of wine scalding on it. With the warm temperature, the mellow smell of wine suddenly filled the room. Before you even drink it, you can feel the fragrance of the wine.
"Hey, you're here so soon? Why don't you chat with Helian Kuang for a while? Hey, since you're here, let's sit down and let's drink and chat together."
Du Suxi rolled her eyes in disgust, gritted her teeth, and asked earnestly.
"Murong Fu, did I say that you are not allowed to drink in front of me! At any time!"
"Haha... Really? I probably forgot..." Murong Fu scratched his head awkwardly, but his movements were not slow at all. He flicked his sleeves, filled two glasses with wine, and said with a smile.
"Come on, don't be stunned. Come and have a taste. How does my wine look like? This is the wine I spent a lot of effort to get back from the Western Regions. I heard people say that not only is it not intoxicating, but women drink it. , it is absolutely beautiful and nourishing, you think, wouldn’t it be a pity not to drink such a good thing?”
Murong Fu blinked happily at Du Suxi.
Du Suxi's originally angry expression suddenly became very strange. Looking at Murong Fu, she found a random place to sit down and spoke loudly.
"How come you don't understand this wine at all? This wine only tastes good at low temperatures, yet you just put it in the fire to warm it. It's really a waste of natural resources."
"Eh? Is it possible that you actually understand this?" Murong Fu raised his eyebrows and looked at Du Suxi as if he was asking for advice humbly. He bowed and looked at Du Suxi and teased.
"Appreciate further details."
Du Suxi did not answer, but took the wine, put it to the tip of her nose, smelled it carefully, and took another shallow sip. His eyebrows frowned. The taste of this wine. Something is wrong.
With this thought in mind, she spoke.
"Although the taste of this wine is sweet, the aftertaste is slightly bitter and the aftertaste is too spicy. Although it has a fruity aroma, the taste is very bland, like noodles in clear soup, and the taste is a bit unsatisfactory."
"Oh. I didn't expect that you actually know this stuff from the Western Regions. Du Suxi, do you know how much such a small bottle of wine cost me?" After Murong Fu said this, he made a rectangular opening in the air. road.
"It cost me such a big box of gold. The drink you drank is worth five big golds."
Du Suxi was stunned for a moment, looked at the wine in her hand, thought about it, and finally understood.
"Isn't that more expensive than my girl from Mo Shang Xiangfang!"
"That's natural. Beauty is always there, but good wine waits for no one." After Murong Fu said this, he drank another glass in an elegant manner. Seeing his intoxicated look, Du Suxi raised the corner of her mouth, With a mysterious smile, he looked at Murong Fu and spoke in a low voice.
"If I could make a wine that tasted much better than this, would you be willing to spend double the money on it?"
Murong Fu blinked, obviously stunned by Du Suxi's innocent question. asked in astonishment.
"Du Suxi, are you okay?"
After he finished speaking, he reached out his hand, pretending to touch Du Suxi's forehead to make sure that Du Suxi was not talking nonsense.
This wine process is very complicated and the formula is very strict. How could Du Suxi know about it
Yes. She must be bluffing herself, right
"Murong Fu, I'm not joking with you now. If you plan to listen carefully, just treat it as if I didn't say anything."
Du Suxi directly stretched out her hand and knocked away Murong Fu's extended hand, then gritted her teeth and spoke.
Murong Fu looked at Du Suxi's face and felt that he was really not fooled. He nodded immediately.
"Okay, if you can do it, I will buy you double the price. Not only that. I will also find a way for you to sell the rest. How about that?"
"Deal! Give me three months. I'll give you a surprise."
Du Suxi agreed decisively, her starry eyes flashing and flashing, especially agile. Like the most cunning fox under the moonlight.
Murong Fu looked at Du Suxi like this and smiled.
Whether this little girl is bragging or she can really do it, he will give her three months.
But he didn't know that the reason why Du Suxi was so confident at this time was not that she had any secret formula, but that she really knew how to make wine.
In her previous life, her master was not only good at eating and lazy in cooking, but also loved drinking wine. He used the excuse that wine was good for beauty. The reason why his skin was so haggard was because he raised her and overworked her, so she grew older. You must honor your master well and so on. With a lot of high-sounding excuses, she had no choice but to accept her fate and be squeezed by her master.
Lafite from 1982, brandy from 1994. The world's treasured 1996 dry red from Great Britain. All of them had entered his master's mouth.
Even though Du Suxi's appearance was expensive and her remuneration was even more astonishing, she wouldn't have much left after being ruined by such a prodigal as her master. In order to save money, she later learned to make a lot of wine. She was not a wine connoisseur, but she was self-taught. Although she was not as good as those masters, she still drank it very sweetly, and her master was very happy when he drank it. .
But I didn't expect that the craftsmanship that was done to please the master in the previous life would now become a craft for making a living.
Either don't do it or do it. Du Suxi planned to do a big one and looked at Murong Fu. Du Suxi asked very seriously.
"Murong Fu, do you dare to do business with me again now?"
"Huh?" Murong Fu raised his eyebrows in surprise. He looked at Du Suxi confused.
"How about we open a winery?"
"Du Suxi, Mr. Du, do you think there are many people in the world who have money but nowhere to spend it?"
"..." Du Suxi gritted her teeth.
"I think I can sell it cheaper."
Murong Fu raised his eyebrows.
Du Suxi swallowed a mouthful of saliva with a guilty conscience, made an expression as if she would die generously, and clenched her fists.
"I'm confident that it's half the price at most, and we can still make several times the profit."
Murong Fu's face immediately darkened, and he stared straight at Du Suxi before speaking for a while.
"Du Suxi, I think I can be considered a businessman now. If it is true as you said, I have really been made off with so much money, I think I can't accept it."
"..." Du Suxi was silent for a while, then generously poured a glass of wine for Murong Fu and said in a deep voice.
"I think your beautiful women are more profitable than your wine."
Murong Fu picked up the cup and tasted it carefully. The more he drank, the more he realized that Du Suxi's words made sense. He nodded and drank a glass of wine in one gulp. He spoke.
"I think so too."
The two looked at each other and smiled in perfect understanding.
Murong Fu suddenly thought of something, frowned, looked at Du Suxi and asked.
"By the way, what did He Liankuang tell you? Could it be that he wanted to join Moshang Xiangfang
Or let you depend on him? "
Du Suxi nodded affirmatively.
"This is the capital city. We have no power and power. We really can't open it."
Murong Fu suddenly smiled. He looked at Du Suxi and stretched out his hand to ruffle Du Suxi's hair casually.
"Do you really think I'm just a businessman?"
Du Suxi raised her head and looked at Murong Fu calmly, then nodded slightly. Sighed. "I know that your identity is not simple, but you can't help me with anything."
"..." Murong Fu's face darkened.
Du Suxi suddenly smiled bitterly again. Continue to speak.
"Now Moshang Xiangfang has become a piece of fat in everyone's eyes. Everyone's eyes are fixed on this piece of fat, wishing they could get a piece of it. No matter how special your status is, you are not a saint after all. This place , this is the Heavenly Saint, this is the capital, not a place where you can act recklessly."
Murong Fu blinked, took a deep breath, looked at Du Suxi, and hesitated.
"how do you want to do it?"
Du Suxi gritted her teeth.
"Instead of hiding behind others, you will become stronger. Murong Fu, I need more excellent intelligence personnel and beauties. If possible, I would like to take Wei Qing to participate in this year's Hundred Flowers Festival."
Murong Fu was startled again.
"How can you, with your face, meet people? What if you get into trouble? I have no objection to Wei Qing participating in the Hundred Flowers Festival. This is a good thing for her, but because of your special status, this is absolutely not allowed."
Du Suxi looked at Murong Fu, curled her lips lazily, and spoke.
"I can pretend to be a man. Although I haven't learned the art of disguise yet, I promise that I will hide behind it carefully so no one can see it."
Murong Fu stayed for a moment, looked at Du Suxi's insistent face, sighed, and nodded helplessly.
"Then I'll go with you."
"good."
He and Murong Fu discussed some more about the future positioning and development of Moshang Xiangfang. Murong Fu basically nodded. When he got tired of talking, he just said, "You can make your own decision." Then he took his precious wine and went looking for it. Leave in a quiet place.
The invitation from Master Su Qin of the Ministry of Rites finally arrived belatedly. Du Suxi looked at the plain white invitation card, curled her lips, and revealed a charming smile. This Master of Etiquette is really incorruptible, even the paper used to invite guests is very ordinary rice paper.
Su Qin asked her to visit the house the day after tomorrow.
This was good, and it was an explanation. Du Suxi took a long breath, wondering if Shen Mu was making things difficult for her.
This Su Qin, she sent people to investigate him for many days, and all she got was some things that praised his virtues. This Su Qin doesn't like wine, beauty, antiques, gold and silver... he doesn't have any hobbies at all. He only loves books as much as his life. He is pedantic and has never even used his power for personal gain. This, this is simply the ancient Runxiangru!
Oil can't be poured in, water can't be sprayed, and there is no breakthrough at all. How can she check it
He called Le Xiaoyou and asked her to prepare carriages, horses and fruits.
Du Suxi described her facial features in detail again, until she looked like a man, wearing a black hat. I'm sure I can't see my face clearly. Then he took a long breath. He casually grabbed the sword he got from Murong Fu last time and got on the carriage.
Shen Mu once said that he lives in Yuelai Inn and if you need anything, you can come to him directly.
Knocked on the door. But no one answered. Du Suxi raised her eyebrows in surprise. Isn't it because he is not here
She thought for a moment, stretched out her white hands, and opened the door. With a swipe, a sword was placed across his neck.
It's so fast that people don't have time to react. It's obvious that they have already laid an ambush and prepared it.
"why you?"
Shen Mu raised his eyebrows, and Du Suxi's eyes fell on Shen Mu's chest.
"You, why are you not wearing any clothes?"
Shen Mu followed her gaze and looked down, then let out a chuckle.
"They are all men. I don't think I am taking advantage if I show you." After a pause, Shen Mu retracted his sword with a swipe. Looking at the suspicious blush on Du Suxi's face, he continued.
"If you feel embarrassed, it doesn't hurt to show it to me in the future."
“…”
Opening the door carelessly, Shen Mu looked inside
"Come in and sit down. Since Xifeng is not here, I am the only one who can protect myself. I scared you just now. However, you owed me twice last time, so it's even."
Looking at the snow-white and strong chest, Du Suxi lowered her head subconsciously. His face turned redder.
"Get dressed first, I'll wait for you at the door."
Shen Mu looked at Du Suxi's rosy cheeks with interest, and found it very interesting. He deliberately moved closer to Du Suxi and teased.
"I didn't expect Mr. Du to be such a shy person. Shen Mu is rude."
Du Suxi was the least agitated person. Hearing Shen Mu's teasing and provocative words, her face turned redder. She looked at Shen Mu and secretly gritted her teeth. He spoke.
"Since Mr. Shen Mu warmly invites you, Du Sha will not be polite. Thank you Mr. Shen Mu."
After she said that, she walked along the gap between Shen Mu and the door. As if he still wasn't relieved, he added another sentence and said.
"You'd better close the door. If someone wants to kill you, in your current position, you will be sent to the door to be killed."
Shen Mu still had a smile on his eyes and eyebrows, holding his chin in one hand, looking at Du Suxi thoughtfully and nodding.
"Oh, Young Master is right."
Shen Mu actually walked directly into the screen and changed his clothes without any scruples. Although there was a screen across the screen, the shadow was faintly reflected on the screen. Du Suxi unintentionally After taking a quick glance, he immediately blushed and turned away pretending to be nonchalant, admiring the landscape paintings hanging on the wall.
Shen Mu wore a white robe and walked out with a smile. The sun was shining slantly from the half-open window, making the peaceful white light very dazzling, as if it had been coated with a layer of light. Like white light, it shines compellingly. Looking from a distance, it makes people feel like an immortal descending to earth.
Seeing Du Suxi staring at him, Shen Mu generously stretched out his hand and turned it in a circle. asked with a smile.
"Mr. Du, have you seen enough?"
"..." This man is really narcissistic.
Du Suxi complained secretly in her heart. He also rolled his eyes with great force on his face.
"I came to see you for something."
After she finished speaking, she coughed again. Somehow, when she said this, she felt a little bit cover-up in conjunction with the embarrassing scene just now.
This Shen Mu was really not a good person, he always made her feel a little weird.
Du Suxi thought secretly in her heart.
Shen Mu raised her eyebrows slightly.
"Since there is business, I have to say hello properly, Xi
The wind wasn't there, so I didn't know that Mr. Du would come to the door in person, and I didn't prepare any good wine or food. There was some tea, but it wasn't good tea, so I asked Mr. Du to make do with it. "
Du Suxi took out the plain white invitation directly from her sleeve. Throw it on the table.
"Don't bother me. I came today just to inform you that Su Qin, the Minister of Rites, sent me an invitation. Whether I go or not is up to you."
Shen Mu glanced at the invitation on the table, and the smile on his face became even brighter. He put his hands together, clapped his hands three times, and praised in a deep voice.
"Young Master Du is really powerful. Not only does Su Qin have a weird temper, but he also rarely invites people to visit him. Young Master Du actually won Su Qin's admiration in such a short period of time. I admire him."
Du Suxi looked at Shen Mu. The voice was flat.
"I am a businessman. I never do business at a loss. It took a lot of effort to get this invitation. However, Su Qin is an upright and upright person. As the saying goes, if the water is clear, there will be no fish. This principle, Mr. Shen Mu, you should understand."
This is asking for benefits in disguise. It is true that although Du Suxi did not grasp Su Qin's handle, he had put in a lot of effort. If Shen Mu was really determined not to give Du Suxi any benefits, it would be a slap in the face.
Shen Mu was still smiling, and those bright star eyes were twinkling, as if there was a black hole inside. If you look at it, you will be sucked in by it involuntarily.
"I didn't expect Mr. Du to be so shrewd, that's all. Mr. Du, if you want anything else, except for the art of disguise, you can just say whatever you want."
She said this as if she was a shameless child asking for candy. This Shen Mu was indeed not a fuel-efficient lamp. She clearly knew that all she wanted was the art of disguise. But he promised that except for the art of disguise, he could do anything else. Really teasing her!
Although her makeup skills are pretty good, she is easily exposed. If she meets someone who is familiar with Du Suxi, she will probably recognize her at a glance.
She is bound to master this skill of disguise.
"Shen Mu, what if I insist on the art of disguise?" Du Suxi raised her eyebrows and asked Shen Mu, who was staring closely.
Shen Mu spread his hands, made a helpless expression, and spoke.
"My disguise technique is originally a forbidden technique and cannot be passed on easily to others. Please don't rob others of it, Mr. Du."
Du Suxi sneered, looked at Shen Mu, and spoke decisively.
"condition!"
She is not a person who speaks forcefully, but this disguise skill is really too important to her, and she has to try her best to fight for it.
"You... why are you doing this? Do you really want this disguise technique that much?"
Shen Mu seemed really helpless and was stunned. He looked at Du Suxi in astonishment and didn't understand.
Du Suxi looked at Shen Mu very seriously and said.
"I don't want many things in my life, and the art of disguise is indeed one of them. Everyone has an unspeakable secret. My face is the face of a dead person. If I appear in the world, I will definitely die. So, I have to get this skill of disguise."
What Du Suxi said was half true and half false. But she stared at Shen Mu closely, and she looked into his eyes. Finally saw a hint of wavering.
Her master was once afraid that she would starve to death if she stopped being a killer. He once taught her that if a person's heart is shaken, he will hesitate. At this time, strike while the iron is hot and continue to pester him. Maybe you will succeed.
Master, if I can succeed this time, I will burn a copy of the disguise technique to you. Although you are still alive, we are not in the same world after all. You should be able to receive it, right
Take a deep breath.
Du Suxi bit her lip and stared at Shen Mu closely.
After a while, Shen Mu couldn't laugh anymore. The high-spirited look was forced by Du Suxi to look like a defeated rooster, dejected and without any life.
He smiled weakly.
"I think I'm hungry."
"If you don't mind it, you can go to Moshang Xiangfang to eat every day. Although Du Sha doesn't dare to claim to be the best in the capital, he can guarantee that what you eat and drink will be absolutely safe, and all of this will be free of charge. "
Shen Mu raised his eyebrows. He looked at Du Suxi. He opened his mouth and smiled.
"It turns out that Mr. Du is so generous. In that case, is there any room available in Moshang Xiangfang? I am not good at anything else, and I have a very weird temper. I wonder if Mr. Du will dislike me?"
Typical of kicking the nose and hitting the face! Du Suxi suppressed the anger in her heart, gritted her teeth, and continued to hold on.
"Young master, you don't have to worry about this. If you want anything, you just need to tell me. You can rest assured that Du Sha will never treat you badly."
Du Suxi felt that what she said was already very sincere, and Shen Mu should probably catch the step and come down. It's just that she really doesn't have the I type. She really underestimated Shen Mu's face.
Shen Mu pondered for a moment. Frowning slightly, as if he was worried about something, he spoke.
"In this case, I'm relieved. However, my disguise is indeed an extremely important matter. Although what Mr. Du mentioned is tempting, I am not a petty person. Mr. Du, please take the trouble."
This, this, this... this is clearly teasing myself! This Shen Mu! This Shen Mu!
To be so shady!
Du Suxi stood up suddenly and looked directly at Shen Mu, no longer holding back.
"Young Master, if you have the conditions, it's okay to mention it, but if you just want to humiliate Du Sha, then I'll forgive Du Sha for taking the first step."
This man's temperament is quite violent.
Seeing Du Suxi's angry look, Shen Mu laughed loudly.
"If you want the art of disguise, you can do it, but you have to agree to three conditions."
One sentence successfully stopped Du Suxi from leaving.
She paused, turned to look at Shen Mu, and asked loudly.
"What conditions."
However, Shen Mu stood up slowly. Looking at Du Suxi, with a malicious smile on her lips, she said.
"You know, I am an upright person, otherwise, I would not save you."
Du Suxi was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect Shen Mu to say this, but after all, Shen Mu did save herself, she nodded.
"Thank you sir for your life-saving grace."
"So I haven't thought about these three things yet. Can you wait?"
"..." Du Suxi bit her lip, a cruel look flashed in her eyes. Is this person kidding himself again
Shen Mu waved his hand and said.
"Mr. Du, please don't get me wrong. These three things are definitely not unscrupulous things. I guarantee that Mr. Du can definitely do it." Shen Mu said it with confidence, and a trace of suspicion flashed in Du Suxi's eyes. Finally nodded.
"I want the method of disguise now."
