In the pleasure boat, Cao Hua sat in the first place, and the gentry and officials came forward one by one to flatter him.

Li Bairen, who was still wet, stood behind her back, glanced at everyone with serious smiles, but occasionally sniffed and slashed at the wine glass on the table. She noticed something was wrong and quickly glanced away and endured it very uncomfortable.

Cao Hua was tasting wine by himself, but he actually wanted to take care of his brothers, but he was afraid that these guys would not be able to hold the drunken knife. What if something happened, he could only make them greedy for a while.

After all the gentry sitting there took turns to say some polite words, Fan Chenglin, who was sitting next to him, began to approach: "Governor, the classmate and friend of the lower officials walked around the capital today. He got some gadgets, and I hope the Governor would have a look."

Cao Hua raised his eyebrows and turned his head and said, "Say."

Fan Chenglin looked slightly happy and hurriedly asked the servants to bring a wooden box and put it on his table.

The wooden box is square and looks quite gorgeous.

He was afraid of having hidden weapons in mechanisms, so he did not raise his hand, but just said calmly: "Open."

Fan Chenglin quickly bowed and nodded, leaned forward and opened the wooden box. He saw eight hairpins inside, arranged neatly, showing a complete song "Shuitu Songtou".

"The governor should know this little thing in the capital, which is very popular among scholars. Even the young prince can't put it down. After his classmates got a trick, they learned that the governor was going to Queshan County to handle official duties, so they sent someone to deliver it to Beizhi."

He narrowed his eyes slightly, and felt happy.

He made such a great reputation just to make the hairpin of Wanbaolou "Elegant Play". Giving gifts from human nature is very suitable, and he can buy a big price even if he turns around. Only in this way can those rich people spend money to make up for it.

Eight hairpins are said to be ten taels of silver each, but if you insist on getting all eight, you will definitely not be able to take down a few thousand taels each.

He looked at the jade hairpin in the box and nodded slightly: "Mr. Fan is very interested. I know that the princess likes this thing. I am worried about it recently."

Fan Chenglin quickly smiled humbly, his eyes turned, and said respectfully: "There are four sets of hairpins in Wanbaolou, representing 'spring, summer, autumn and winter'. Very few people can get all four sets. If the governor can gather them all, I think the princess would be happier."

There is something in the words.

Cao Hua sat upright and frowned slightly: "Do you have it?"

There are four sets of 'Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter', and there are 32 hairpins in total. In the capital, except for the little prince Zhao Kai, everyone else is still waiting and trying their luck. This is not a small price.

Fan Chenglin nodded slightly and looked around: "Eunuch Li appreciated his position, but his colleagues gave these gadgets with great care. They just made up a set of them, but they were stored in the home of Beizhi. If the governor likes it, the governor will hold a banquet on the day of the day, and ask the governor to sit in the mansion."

Cao Hua was worried that he could not investigate Fan Chenglin, so he was naturally happy to have this opportunity: "Okay, but I am arresting traitors on this trip. The county magistrates must also pay attention to the officers of the county government. Don't let me go empty-handed."

"must!"

Fan Chenglin nodded repeatedly.

After giving the gift here, the protagonist Jia Manwai, who sat on the other side, stood up with his big belly and said happily:

"It is said that good wine is paired with heroes. Caomin is a commoner, not as elegant as Lord Fan. However, there are several jars of a hundred-year-old wine hidden in the family. My father opened a jar when he got married, and Caomin opened a jar when he got married. I heard that the governor's wedding was approaching, and the remaining jar was presented to the governor as a gift. I hope the governor will accept it with a smile."

Before Cao Hua could speak, Fan Chenglin interrupted: "Okay, you old man Jia, I have been begging me for almost ten years, and you didn't let me take a look. Now I've taken it out quickly. But it's right. Good wine is paired with heroes. This good wine is really a waste of resources for your sons to drink."

When the black feather guard masters behind him heard the "Centennial Aged Brew", their eyes suddenly opened and they swallowed.

Cao Hua was also curious and raised his hand and said, "The princess occasionally drinks two drinks. Since there is such a good wine, I will take it to take a look. If it is comparable to the imperial wine of the palace, the princess will remember Jia Yuanwai's wishes."

Yuanwai Jia was frightened and quickly winked at the servants.

After a moment, behind the pleasure boat, a cool woman was holding a tray with white arms, and a pot of warm wine was placed on it. She walked to the side lightly.

The Black Feather Guards were immediately discouraged. They thought they were offering wine, but they did not expect that they were offering beauty.

The governor is not good at money and sex, and everyone knows that he likes elegant things such as wine and tea. This flattery is a slap on the horse's legs.

Sure enough, when Cao Hua saw this scene, he raised his hand:

"Wine is given, people are spared."

Jia Yuanwai was not at all unusual, so he hurriedly got up and took the tray over and put it down on the small case: "This is a little girl. As the saying goes, a hero wearing fine wine, the little girl is not a beauty, but how can the governor take action by pouring wine? We are such a rough man who has insulted such fine wine."

To put it bluntly, it is to have a sense of ritual.

Cao Hua thought for a while, raised his hand and pointed to the side of the case, signaling the lady to sit down so that the girl would not be hit.

Miss Jia is also somewhat beautiful, otherwise she would not have been pushed to toast. She was just spoiled since childhood and did not have a good family tradition. She was not as relaxed as Shen Yu, nor did she not have the arrogance in Zhao Tianluo's bones. She seemed to be a bit forced to pretend to be a golden branch and a jade leaf.

At this time, Miss Jia picked up the wine pot, and Gu Pan was still talking. Seeing that Cao Hua was a little funny, he was really funny, but he didn't want to scare people at a daughter's house, but he just nodded and showed up.

The sword eyebrows are like ink and the eyes are like stars.

This gentle stroke made Miss Jia so confused that she almost spilled the wine.

The faint fragrance of wine drifted away and spread to everyone's noses.

Li Bairen took a few breaths, and the other guards were too lazy to even look at the cool-wearing woman. She looked straight at the wine pot, and the sound of swallowing saliva came one after another.

It is really a rare fine wine in the world. It seems that the century-old age is not a lie.

Cao Hua was a little serious. Others took out all the things in the box, so naturally they couldn't be too arrogant. He picked up the wine glass and pretended to smell it. Just as he was about to give some words of praise from Zou Zou, he suddenly realized something was wrong.

There is a strange fragrance in the wine.

When Jia Yuanwai saw Cao Hua frowned, he was a little confused: "Governor, but you are not satisfied with this wine?"

Cao Hua blinked and always felt that there was a strange smell in the wine, which smelled very nice and didn't make people hate it, but it was obvious.

With the lesson from eating tofu last time, he frowned slightly: "This wine is a bit fragrant!"

Yuanwai Jia suddenly laughed: "The governor is really good at praising people."

Others also agreed.

Cao Hua sniffed it carefully, and confirmed that there was an inexplicable fragrance. He picked it up and came to Li Bairen: "Do you smell it?"

Li Bairen took a deep breath, then nodded like a chicken pecking at the rice, but did not dare to ask for it, so he could only say in a deep voice: "It is indeed a rare wine, the governor quickly taste it."

When Cao Hua heard the number one thug under his command say this, he felt relieved and tried to take a bite. If it was poisonous, it would definitely be difficult to swallow.

The entrance is soft and a thread of throat.

Cao Hua's eyes lit up. Although he didn't drink often, he could still taste good and bad things. He probably wouldn't be able to get a rare wine for less than tens of thousands of dollars in later generations.

Mr. Jia smiled even more and quickly winked his daughter to make her smarter.

The tiger bone wine hidden in the Jia family is used to prevent the groom from being shy and cheering for fun when getting married. It also adds some "nutrition" things. Normal men can't control it with just three cups, but it doesn't hurt their bodies. It is a rare good thing.

Next, there was another round of toasts, and all kinds of flattery were constantly spoken.

Jia Yuanwai secretly calculated the time and felt that it was almost the same, so he sent his daughter to the room to rest.

But when he looked up, he found that Lord Cao had drunk half a pot and his face was not red, and his expression was cold and arrogant, his eyes were clear.

"Sir... It's a huge number!"

Yuanwai Jia was a little confused and said a compliment.

Cao Hua was toasted by everyone, and his body was too strong and he didn't feel anything. He was like drinking juice.

It was only when the show was about to end that I felt dizzy, but I was still in control.

Looking at Miss Jia, who was dressed in cool clothes next to her, she felt that the woman had a scent on her body. Cao Hua subconsciously raised his hand to lift his hair, and his instinct made him wake up in an instant.

I did drink too much.

Cao Hua realized something was wrong and waved his hand: "Let's go!"

Jia Yuanwai was stunned and wanted to chat for a while. Fan Chenglin had already said respectfully, so he had to smile and leave with his daughter. When he left, Miss Jia turned around three times, feeling a little reluctant.

Li Bairen stood for half a night, and finally couldn't bear it. He approached with curiosity: "Governor, how about this wine?"

"It's OK, it's a bit stamina."

Cao Hua blinked and raised his hand to point at the wine jar with red flowers next to him: "Take it back to the capital and share it with your brothers. You are not allowed to eat alone, I will pick up the princess."

Li Bairen's eyes were filled with tears and almost knelt down. He called his brother to run to the wine jar, carefully uncovered and scooped a small spoon, took a sip, and then held a big knife to protect the wine jar. Whoever came and died was the intention.
