The sun is like a naughty child. After jumping around all day, it is finally tired.

As the sun falls asleep, night falls.

The street was empty at this time, with only the occasional sound of night watchmen beating the drums rang out on the street.

The lights in Man Chong's mansion were bright.

The mutton has been placed on the table and is boiling in a large cauldron.

The aroma filled the room. However, Guo Jia did not look at the mutton, but stared at the wine in the glass and examined it carefully.

The wine in the glass was different from any I had seen before. It was like clear water, transparent to the bottom, and had a refreshing aroma.

He couldn't help but pick up the wine glass and take a sip. The taste was mellow and lingering between the teeth. Guo Jia savored the flavor for a long time.

Guo Jia is a wine lover. He has traveled to many places over the years. Wherever he goes, the first thing he does is to taste the local wine.

There are many wines that left a deep impression on him, and he can still name a few of them without hesitation.

After he tasted this wine, he realized that the wine he had drunk before had lost all its beauty and could not even be called wine.

"There is such a wonderful wine in this world. All the wine I have drunk over the years has been wasted."

Guo Jia shook his head and smiled bitterly, but his hands did not stop. While Man Chong was stunned, he had already drunk half of the jar of wine.

Man Chong was still savoring the aroma of the wine, but he realized that he had already drunk half a jar of wine.

Seeing that Guo Jia was still pouring wine into the cup, he hurriedly urged: "Fengxiao, don't pour it all, leave some for me, leave some for me."

Guo Jia laughed loudly, filled his own glass, and then poured another for Man Chong.

"You have to drink this wine in big gulps to feel it. The way you drink it may be elegant, but it's really not pleasant. Although you can drink more than me, you're far behind in terms of understanding wine."

When it comes to research on wine, Man Chong feels inferior to him. I'm afraid there is no one in this world who understands the characteristics of wine better than Guo Fengxiao.

"Feng Xiao is right." Man Chong took a sip and continued, "But I know someone whose knowledge of wine is not inferior to Feng Xiao's."

Guo Jia was somewhat interested.

"Who else has this ability? Take him to see it when you have time."

"Uncle Liu."

Man Chong answered very straightforwardly. When he first met Liu Yu, the two drank for a long time. While toasting, they chatted casually. Man Chong admired Liu Yu's knowledge of wine very much.

At that time, he had only one idea, since he couldn't argue with Liu Yu, he wanted to gain the upper hand in terms of drinking capacity. However, Liu Yu's alcohol capacity was amazing, and even if they were competing in drinking capacity, he would be defeated quickly.

Guo Jia was not too surprised by this result. After all, if someone could write such wonderful lines as "Enjoy life to the fullest when you are happy and don't let the golden cup face the moon empty", how could he not understand wine?

Guo Jia picked up the wine glass and drank a few more glasses. He found that the wine jar was empty. He signaled to Man Chong to take out the wine quickly. The banquet had just begun, so how come there was no more wine?

Man Chong asked someone to bring out a jar of wine and pour it into Guo Jia's cup.

The wine is slightly yellow, which is mostly sediment.

Wine like this was usually considered a rare delicacy by Guo Jia, but now, after drinking the clear wine, he had no desire to drink it again when he looked at it.

"Bo Ning, this is a bit unfair of you. You have such good wine hidden in your house, but you only took it out today. Now you can't bear to part with it after just a few drinks. Take this wine away and take out the good wine."

"There is only this jar of good wine. If there is any more, how can I not let you drink it in honor of your father?"

Guo Jia felt craving for alcohol and he looked up at the sky.

"Go see if there's anyone in the wine shop, and get someone to buy a few jars."

"Feng Xiao, you don't know that even if you travel all over the Han Dynasty, you can't buy this kind of wine, let alone the wine shops in Chang'an City."

"Could it be the Emperor's wine? That shouldn't be the case. With your current status beside Emperor Liu, it shouldn't be difficult to ask for a few more jars of wine."

"The emperor is young and still can't drink. During this period, the emperor's uncle has been asking the great scholar Ma Ritian to teach him to read. It is definitely impossible for the emperor to drink."

Guo Jia was so smart that he understood everything after hearing this. Needless to say, this wine must have been given to Man Chong by Uncle Liu.

Giving only one jar of such good wine was just to whet his appetite. Even Guo Jia had to admit that Liu Yu was very smart to use this trick on himself.

It was his fault that he loved drinking, so this hit him directly in the sore spot.

"Uncle, this is a brilliant plan." Guo Jia said helplessly.

Looking at Guo Fengxiao scratching his head, Man Chong's face was full of smiles.

"Uncle Liu is very resourceful. When he knew Fengxiao was coming to Chang'an, he had already started making preparations. This wine was brewed specially for you. I have been following him for so long, but this is the first time I have drunk this wine."

"If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be able to drink such good wine. Come on, just for this reason, let's both have a drink."

Man Chong's wine was crystal clear, obviously the wine that had just been poured into the glass had not been finished yet. In contrast, the wine in his own glass was turbid.

After comparing the two cups, Guo Jia had no desire to drink.

"That's a good reason. But I can't drink this wine." He pushed his glass in front of Man Chong with a flattering smile on his face, "Bo Ning, how about we switch?"

"I only drank two cups of this jar of wine, and the rest went into my stomach. I won't exchange it, I won't exchange it, even if it's worth a thousand gold coins."

Under Guo Jia's fiery gaze, Man Chong drank it all in one gulp.

"Good wine, ah, it is indeed good wine. The emperor's uncle is really the greatest genius in ancient and modern times. He can actually brew such good wine."

The corner of Guo Jia's mouth twitched as he watched a glass of wine enter Man Chong's mouth, a trace of regret appeared on his face. If he had known the situation would be like this, he should have drunk slowly.

"I don't know if he is a genius or not, but he is really stingy. He only gave me one jar of such good wine. He is too stingy."

"Fengxiao, do you still want to drink?" Man Chong asked deliberately.

Is there any need to ask this? It's obvious. Just look at the expression on Guo Jia's face and you'll know that his drinking urge has been aroused.

Man Chong's meaning was very clear. It was easy to get wine. Although I have no wine here, there is some at Uncle Liu's house. If you want to drink, just take Guo Fengxiao to see Liu Yu.

Guo Jia understood this truth very well. After a long ideological struggle, reason finally triumphed over desire.

"No, I won't drink today. Berning, don't set a trap for me. If you really want to drink, I will tell you when the time comes."

Man Chong did not persuade him anymore. From Guo Jia's words, he knew that Guo Jia had not made up his mind yet. Since he had not made up his mind, he could stay in Chang'an City and think about it slowly.

From this period of interaction with Liu Yu, Man Chong was very confident at this time. He believed that with Fengxiao's talent, it would not take long for him to discover that the emperor's uncle was a rare wise leader in the world.

He would also wholeheartedly submit to the emperor's uncle.
