"Miss Yuyao, you must be thirsty.”After filling them up, Lu Xiu turned to look at his future first wife, Li Yuyao.
"Little friend Lu, how can a proper girl drink?”Li Yuan said.
"Yes, I am. Moreover, even I can't drink much of such strong wine. It's not like Yuyao can't even drink a cup.”At this moment, Li Xiaogong began to stutter as he spoke, clearly a little drunk.
In terms of enjoyment, Hejian Prince Li Xiaogong was not bad. He was extravagant and forthright. In his later years, there were more than a hundred singers and dancers in the back room.
As for Lu Xiu marrying a few wives, he did not think it was a problem at all.
"Hehe, you've misunderstood me. How could I let her drink? I gave her juice.”Under their astonished gazes, what was poured out was actually an orange liquid.
"Juice?"
The two of them did not understand.
"It's made from oranges. I wonder what oranges are? Well, you can think of him as Juzi's cousin.”Lu Xiu explained.
Young Master Lu, I want to drink." Li Yuyao began to look forward to it.
No matter what Lu Xiu took out, it was very novel. It was all things that she had never heard of before.
"Give this old man a little too. This old man will try it and see what it tastes like.”Li Yuan shouted.
"You can try it. Drinking won't quench your thirst.”Li Xiaogong shouted.
Lu Xiu smiled and poured the juice down. The bamboo tubes were filled with orange juice.
"Gulp."
"Tsk, tsk, not much. It can't compare to the milk tea yesterday morning. It can't be compared to Moutai at all.”
"It's not bad to quench your thirst."
After taking a bite, it was not the taste that Li Xiaogong and the other two liked.
"Hehe, sweet and sour. Girls should like it.”Lu Xiu said.
Li Yuyao took a sip carefully. The next moment, her eyes sparkled as she looked at Lu Xiu. I…I think it tastes good."
Especially with the fruit acid of the orange, it made the sashimi of the tuna even sweeter.

"Huhu!"
Four hours later, Li Xiaogong and Li Yuan were drunk on the grass at the side. Lu Xiu was also half-drunk. The three of them had drunk more than five pounds of Maotai.
Admiring the beautiful scenery and tasting the fine wine was indeed enjoyable.
If it weren't for the alcohol tolerance he had trained in his previous life, Lu Xiu realized that he almost couldn't win against them.
"Young Master Lu, how should we settle them?”Zhou Xiang said.
"There's no other way. Let's move them to Lu Manor first and wait for them to sober up.”Lu Xiu instructed,
Wu He smiled bitterly in his heart. How to persuade the Retired Emperor to return to the palace had become his concern.
The Retired Emperor had done everything he could to stay in the Lu Manor to freeload on food and drink, so how could he be easily persuaded?
Now, he could only report the Retired Emperor's situation to the Emperor truthfully.
"Not to mention the Retired Emperor, I'm afraid even the Hejian Commandery Prince doesn't want to leave now. Speaking of which, the fish just now was really delicious. He wondered how delicious the strong wine would be.”
Wu He now understood why Li Yuan had stayed behind. He had tasted the fish chowder once, and it had given him an unforgettable experience. He wondered how Manor Lord Lu Xiu could create such delicious food.
…………
Chang 'an City, Taiji Palace.
Li Er, who was dealing with political affairs, received another report from Wu He.
After all, it was related to his father, so Li Er was naturally very concerned. This was especially true for Li Yuan's safety. He had only brought Wu He with him as a guard. What if something happened?
"What's going on? The Hejian County Prince is willing to marry Princess Yuyao to that Lu Xiu?”
Li Er was secretly surprised. He knew Li Yuyao's condition very well. He had once sent the imperial physicians in the palace to help treat her, but they were all helpless. The imperial physician had told him that she would not live to be nineteen.
If he married her, her death would be secondary. Moreover, because passing on a corpse was extremely contagious, it might even cause the entire family to contract a necrotic disease, and it was even possible for the entire family to die.
"Who exactly is that Lu Xiu? Why is the Prince of Hejian still lingering in Anping County? What kind of unfathomable ability does he have?”
According to the information he had gathered, Lu Xiu's performance in the past was average. He was just an ordinary landlord.
Since last month, the news of using locusts in exchange for food had caused a violent reaction in Anping County.
Yet, the person in front of him had actually turned stone into gold and transformed into countless grains to save the victims.
In addition, he actually had the medical skills to cure Corpse Transference. He said that he was confident in curing the princess's illness, so the Hejian Commandery Prince agreed to marry his daughter to him.
In his opinion, he could only sit and wait for death if he was infected with the Corpse Transference. There was no possibility of treatment at all.
"One day, this one will take the time to meet him and see if we can recruit him to serve the Great Tang. At the same time, we can also bring the Retired Emperor back.”
