Chapter 466 Jin She Loves Talent (37)
Back in the day, when the previous Duke of Chu was still alive, General Zhao had a close relationship with the Duke of Chu and he would often come uninvited to the Chu family and drink for free.
Of course, this is not without reason.
All this is because the wife of the Duke of Chu has a unique skill - brewing a fine wine called Bi Guang Wine.
Speaking of this Bi Guang wine, it is truly a rare fine wine in the world!
The color is like jade, pure, flawless and crystal clear.
Take a sip, and the mellow and soft taste instantly spreads on the tip of your tongue, like a stream of clear spring flowing through your throat.
After the wine is completely swallowed, the aftertaste still remains in the mouth, lingering on the taste buds for a long time, making people intoxicated and leaving an endless aftertaste.
More importantly, the alcohol content of this wine is quite high. For someone like General Zhao who has a very good alcohol tolerance, this is an excellent wine that can make him drunk.
However, ever since the unfortunate passing of the former Duke of Chu and his wife, Chu Yunfan's parents, General Zhao has never set foot in the Chu family's gate again.
If we dig deeper into the reasons, it is not just because he can no longer taste the Biguang wine, but more because he cannot bear to see the Duke's Mansion gradually withering.
Of course, it was also to avoid suspicion, fearing that the superior would become suspicious.
He didn't care, but he couldn't let anything happen to his deceased friend's family again.
In this way of escape, several years passed by in a blink of an eye.
A few days ago, General Zhao accidentally caught a glimpse of the weapons brought back by his two daughters. When he heard that the spears and scimitars were sent by Chu Yunfan, he thought of the fact that the other party was injured and broke off the engagement.
All of a sudden, those long-forgotten memories came flooding back like a tide, and every little detail of my past interactions with old friends kept emerging in my mind.
General Zhao felt more and more resentful day by day. Although he hesitated for many days, his deep longing for his old friend overcame his hesitation in the end.
So, he went to visit the Duke of Chu's mansion again under the pretext of "expressing gratitude".
At this moment, General Zhao was sitting in the main hall, staring at the door.
Finally, Chu Yunfan walked in slowly and steadily...
There is a saying that goes, "Helplessly the flowers fall, and the familiar swallows return."
Although we are not old friends, he has the appearance of an old friend.
General Zhao looked at the face that looked similar to his friend, and for a moment he couldn't tell what day it was, which was why he was clamoring for a drink of Bi Guang wine.
Chu Yunfan was stunned for a moment before he said, "Uncle Zhao, I have been waiting for you for a long time. My father left some wine for you, saying that you would come and take it one day."
Seeing General Zhao's somewhat moved expression, he touched his nose and said helplessly: "It's just that my father also told me that you can come to get it, but I can't send it to you, so I haven't had it for these years..."
General Zhao raised his hand and did not let Chu Yunfan finish his words. He understood what his friend meant and hoped that he could protect the Chu family.
Although the Chu family had a title at that time, its population was declining.
Moreover, all the retainers went their separate ways.
It seemed that he was the only person who could be entrusted with the task, but he could not do anything except watching over her secretly.
General Zhao felt guilty towards Chu Yunfan.
Especially after seeing the wine that Chu Chuan and his servants brought up, his mood became even worse.
It is said that a drink can relieve a thousand worries, but who knows that alcohol makes the sorrow even greater.
General Zhao did not shy away from it. He picked up a jar of green wine and started drinking it, as if he wanted to drink away all his sorrow and guilt towards his old friend.
Chu Yunfan did not try to persuade the other party. In fact, he more or less knew how General Zhao had taken care of the Chu family over the years, so he did not blame the other party much.
Soon the two jars of wine were gone.
Under the influence of alcohol, General Zhao stopped Chu Yunfan's hand and said, "Old Chu, how did you become younger? Your face is so tender, but mine is not. My face can be used as a planer."
This is treating yourself as a father.
Chu Yunfan sighed softly: "Uncle Zhao, you are drunk. Stay at the Chu family today! The guest room you used to stay in is still there!"
Unexpectedly, General Zhao suddenly said, "I know, you are not Old Chu, you are Old Chu's shortsighted son - Little Chu."
Obviously, he didn't expect that the other party would say that he had no vision, but he couldn't bother with a drunkard!
"Yes, yes, you are right." Chu Yunfan said patiently, "I will have someone take you to the guest room!"
"Don't worry if you don't have good taste!" General Zhao continued to talk drunkenly, "Whatever you want, I'll pick it for you. I have a good taste!"
Then he narrowed his eyes and asked again: "What do you need now?"
I lack nothing! I haven't even finished saying this.
Then I heard Chu Chuan say over there: "My young master is in need of a wife!"
"It's no big deal!" General Zhao grabbed Chu Yunfan's hand and said, "I, your uncle, will give you a wife right now!"
Chu Yunfan glared at Chu Chuan and said helplessly, "Uncle Zhao, this is not good! If you can't find a wife, you don't have to worry about me!"
This is the truth. General Zhao is a widower and his wife has passed away many years ago.
