If you keep making noise, I won’t stand it anymore!

At the same time, in the study of the Chu family in the capital, the old master of the Chu family and the head of the Chu family were studying the ten wine jars on the table. Madam Chu came in with a maid carrying a food box, "Dad, husband, I heard that the eldest princess sent someone to deliver wine, so your wife made a few side dishes for you to go with the wine." As she spoke, she directed the little maid to take out the plates in the food box and place them one by one on another empty table.

The Chu family has never been as prosperous as the other three families. By Chu Zeming's generation, it has been the third generation of only one son. The wife of the old Chu family head had passed away before the Chu family head got married. Now there are only three heads of the Chu family: the old Chu family head, the Chu family head, and Mrs. Chu. Therefore, there is no saying in the Chu family that the ladies of the inner house are not allowed to enter the study.

"Daughter-in-law, please sit down and have a drink with us. I just saw that there seem to be four jars of fruit wine here specially for you." The old master Chu said to Mrs. Chu with a smile. Since the father and son took the herbs sent by Meixiang, and then drank the soup medicine according to the prescription for two months, their complexions are obviously much better than before. In addition, Chu Zeming's body has gradually recovered. Every time he writes a letter, what he sees and talks about is more mature and sophisticated, and the Chu family members have smiled again.

"Well, I'd better obey your command. I'd also like to take advantage of Ming'er and try the wine sent by the princess. You know, this fruit wine is the first time I've heard of it, and I'm really craving it." Mrs. Chu waved away the little maid, rolled up her sleeves and served the food herself.

The wine produced in Liuzhou Prefecture is loved by everyone who has tasted it. The different alcohol content options cater to people of all tastes. The old master Chu and his son prefer low-alcohol wine. "Tomorrow I will go to the other three old friends to ask if I can exchange with them. The two jars with low alcohol content are more to my taste, hahaha..."

Mrs. Chu sipped from her special large wine cup. She liked all four types of fruit wine. Before she knew it, she drank two more glasses. Just like red wine, she didn't feel anything at first, but the effect was still there. Mrs. Chu said, "Dad, time flies. Ming'er has been in Liuzhou Prefecture for more than half a year. To be honest, he has never left me for such a long time since he was a child. What should I do if I miss him?"

The head of the Chu family was shocked when he heard this. His wife has always been cautious in doing things, and this is the first time she has said such rude words in front of her father. Looking carefully at her already slightly red face and somewhat confused eyes, he knew that she was beginning to get drunk. Just as he was about to scold her, the father and son reached out to stop him from saying anything.

"Daughter-in-law, if Ming'er doesn't return to the capital for the New Year this year, would it be okay for him to celebrate the New Year in Liuzhou Prefecture?" The old master Chu asked tentatively with a gleam in his eyes.

Mrs. Chu slowly turned her head to look at her father-in-law who was asking the question. Although she was a little drunk today, she still understood what her father-in-law meant by the question. She replied without hesitation, "Wife, of course I hope Ming'er can come back for the New Year. Even if Liuzhou Prefecture really needs his help there, it would be fine for him to just stay at home for a few days." As she spoke, her eyes slowly turned red. She apologized before she lost her composure even more and returned to her yard with the help of the little maid.

Looking at the back of Mrs. Chu leaving in a hurry, the old Patriarch Chu and his son did not speak for a while. Although Mrs. Chu said what she said today under the influence of alcohol, it was not without her intention. "What do you think about this matter?" The old Patriarch Chu turned his head and looked at his son. One generation takes care of the next generation. As a grandfather of the next generation, he did not want people to interfere too much. He only needed to remind him a few times when necessary.

The head of the Chu family looked at his father who was holding a small wine cup in front of him and seemed to be asking the question casually, but he had to answer this question carefully, because it not only affected his son's second half of life, but also the fate of the Chu family.

Thinking of the girl whose name was already well-known even though they had never met, all of them in the capital had worried about her for more than ten years. Could his son, who was like a dull boy, bear such a life experience? The Chu family was already one of the four major families in Haoyue and was on par with the other three families. His son no longer needed to do anything for the family. It was enough for him to take care of himself.

"My son thinks that as long as Ming'er is happy, that's all. I think he has his own plans for this issue. He had a hard time in the past due to his health problems. Now that he has recovered and is no longer suffering from the pain, my son just hopes that he will be safe and happy in the future."

Patriarch Chu nodded when he heard this. He had an idea in his mind. It seemed that his son and daughter-in-law were not dazzled by the world. That was good enough. "It will be the Chinese New Year in two months. If you want to go home, it's almost time to prepare. Write him a letter and ask him what he thinks. By the way, tell him that I, an old man, prefer two kinds of low-alcohol wine."

The Feng family, which also received wine from Liuzhou Prefecture, was not so harmonious. The four jars of fruit wine were distributed by Old Madam Feng, two jars were given to Zhou Jing, and two jars were moved back to the second room. As the head of the main room, Madam Feng Da and Madam Feng San of the third room, they had already divided the wine without even smelling it. This made them very angry and they rushed directly to the study of Old Madam Feng.

"Dad, it's not that I'm short-sighted, I just can't bully people like this. How can I gain a foothold in this family in the future? How can I manage the affairs of the mansion? If this goes on, which servant will take me seriously? I think this position should be handed over to mom. If not, I can give it to my second brother and his wife." Madam Feng said with grievance. This was not just a matter of a jar of wine, and the old lady's attitude was directly related to her prestige in the Feng family. If her father-in-law didn't care, then it would be better not to be part of this family.

The old master Feng looked at the first and third wives standing below him, and thought of his foolish old wife who had been quiet for a few days and started to make trouble again, and he was so angry that his temples were stabbing with pain. It was true that marrying an unvirtuous wife would bring disaster to three generations, especially when the second daughter-in-law came into the family. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law sang the same tune and made the family restless. If they were not beaten for three days, they would go up to the roof and tear the tiles.

"Is Zhou Jing also a restless person?" asked the old Patriarch Feng, pressing his throbbing temple.

The first lady and the third lady looked at each other and said, "When Dad is free, he can go and see for himself. It's not good for daughters-in-law to criticize their elders, or to comment on other girls. It won't sound good if it gets out, right?" The first lady was practicing Tai Chi, but she emphasized the word "other girls" especially.

Patriarch Feng blinked twice when he heard that. "I see, eldest daughter-in-law and third daughter-in-law, you two have been wronged." Then he pointed to two of the six jars of wine on the table and said, "The two jars on the far left should have the lowest alcohol content, which is just right for you two. Take one jar each and try it."
