Rebirth of Jiuyouyan

Chapter 8 Xia Yue's Heartbeat

Although Fang Guanshi was not as tall as Xia Yue, he was tall and tall, with a calm face, standing in the main hall with his head slightly bowed.

Seeing Xia Yue coming in, Steward Fang raised his head, Xia Yue stepped forward to say hello, seeing that he was faintly tired, he hurriedly asked him to sit down, and called the servant to bring some soothing tea.

The hot tea slid down the esophagus into his stomach, and his body, which was a little stiff from the cold, immediately felt better. Watching the servant follow Xia Yue's instructions and put the brazier at his feet again, Steward Fang showed a slight smile on his face.

This clever young master slept for three years, and finally woke up and seemed to be more thoughtful and meticulous than before.

Steward Fang is not very old, but he has also watched Yun Xia grow up since he was a teenager, so he still looks at Xia Yue with a child's eye, thinking of the fat baby with short hands and feet who liked to flop around in the snow back then. Having grown into the handsome and handsome official in front of him, Steward Fang felt an inexplicable sense of relief in his heart.

Xia Yue knew how much Guanshi Fang taught Yun Xiayue when he was accepting Xi Jiuzui. It can be said that he was Yun Xiayue's teacher. He was not surprised by the love in Fang Guanshi's eyes when he was in his thirties. After he recovers, he will take over the work of Xi Jiuzui again.

Steward Fang was delighted to hear that. He saw Master Yun's busyness and exhaustion in the past three years, so he could only do his best to manage Xi Jiuzui well, and he didn't want any problems to cause trouble for Master Yun. Sometimes when he suddenly stopped busy, he would think of it. Yun Xiayue, who was sleepy, and shopkeeper Cheng would always talk about why the young master hadn't woken up yet.

Finally, when Xia Yue woke up, he saw that he was in the wedding hall, and saw that his face was still sick. Even though he was covered by the wedding clothes, he could see that he had lost a lot of stature. It's easy to say that I hope he will return to Xijiuzui as soon as possible, so I just toasted and said congratulations.

Originally thought that the young master would take care of him for at least a month, but Xia Yue called him today and said that he would go back to take over immediately after recovering from the illness. Steward Fang was naturally happy and felt sorry for his body, so he worriedly asked the doctor if he would agree .

"It's almost Chinese New Year now, and the business is already off-season, but after the new year, with the release of new wine, it will be a busy season soon, and there are wine tasting parties to be held. I'm afraid you can't do it if you suddenly get busy. Otherwise, you Just look at the accounts first, leave other trivial matters to me and Chengzi, and we will come to you to discuss important matters, so you don't have to run hard outside, it's so cold."

Xia Yue smiled: "Xie Fang cares about the matter, Dr. Shen is very strict, and he won't let me out until there is nothing serious."

"What is Fang Guanshi?" Fang Guanshi gave him a sideways glance, "When I woke up, I became unfamiliar again. Call me Brother Fang."

"Call Fang Guanshi when we're talking about business." Seeing Fang Guanshi glaring at him, Xia Yue Shi Shiran added, "Fang Ziming is in charge."

Steward Fang continued to stare at him, but Xia Yue still smiled.In the memory of Yun Xiayue that he had met, Steward Fang was very persistent about addressing him for some reason, and Yun Xiayue insisted on distinguishing between public and private, and never called Brother Fang again after taking over Xijiu drunk.Xia Yue thought to himself, Fang Guanshi, who has always treated Young Master Yun as a younger brother, must be a little disappointed, for example... the younger brother will not be cute when he grows up?

Xia Yue really wanted to honor Fang Guanshi's wish and call him Brother Fang, but suddenly changed his words in case Fang Fang thought it was strange, Xia Yue decided to continue calling Fang Fang only as a matter of course.

"Steward Fang, today my father has given me the account books of Xi Jiuzui for the past three years, that's why I invited Steward Fang. I don't know if Steward Fang has brought the details. Steward Fang, are you listening?"

Fang Guanshi stared at Xia Yue who was mouthing each other in front of him, and after a while he let out a deep breath, took out a roll of paper from his arms and threw it over.

Xia Yue took it and flipped through it, and could see that the handwriting was new, probably the servant sent a message and the steward wrote a copy.

"There is labor in charge." Xia Yue thanked with a smile.

Steward Fang didn't even bother to stare at him anymore.

"I thought you could become a little cuter after three years of sleep, but I didn't expect that the longer you sleep, the worse you will be." He stared at the brazier at his feet, the thoughtfulness and consideration Xia Yue felt for him before compared with the feeling he felt now His bad intentions made him even more depressed, "Where did that cute kid who followed my butt and called Brother Fang go..."

Xia Yuemo, is this really the mentality...

When the two finally finished talking about the business, it was almost time for dinner. Xia Yue wanted to stay in charge of the party for dinner, but he declined politely on the grounds that he couldn't bear to leave him alone as the shopkeeper, so Xia Yue could only send him out.

When he returned to the room, Xia Yue was taken aback. His husband Lang blushed, and when he heard the sound, he turned his head and looked over, with a relaxed expression that he had never seen before.

Xia Yue walked over to look at the table, and then at Shiyan who squinted and looked up at him.

"How much did you drink?"

Shiyan was a little slow to react, he stared blankly at Xia Yue who was frowning, and then trembled suddenly.

"Yes, I'm sorry, I drank so much new wine on my own... I, I shouldn't..." Shi Yan stood up abruptly as she spoke, but then sat back unsteadily.

Xia Yue quickly pressed his shoulder and said softly, "Don't panic, don't panic, I'm not blaming you, don't panic."

Shi Yan raised her eyes to look at him: "Really?"

"Really, you can drink as much as you want, but..." Xia Yue smiled and touched Shi Yan's flushed cheeks, feeling the unusual warmth of the skin under his hands, "How can you be on an empty stomach? After drinking so much, you can see that you are a little drunk."

Xia Yue patted Shiyan's shoulder reassuringly, went to the door and summoned a servant, and it was already time for dinner, so he prepared the dishes in the room.

Shi Yan was a little confused: "Am I drunk?"

Xia Yue came over and nodded: "Drunk."

"Is this drunk?" Shi Yan felt very fresh, he touched his face, it seemed that it was indeed a little hot.

"I feel very happy in my heart, very happy." He turned his head and looked at Xia Yue with misty eyes. "My body seems to be light and light, so relaxed and comfortable. Is this drunk?"

Xia Yue looked at Shiyan tilting her head, as if she was very curious about her first drunken experience.

"Aren't you dizzy?" He asked Shiyan.

"I felt dizzy when I just stood up, but I didn't feel it when I was sitting."

"Does it feel heavy between the eyebrows, or on the forehead?"

When Xia Yue said this, Shi Yan stretched out her hand to press her eyebrows, and then frowned.

"It seems... a bit."

Xia Yue couldn't help laughing, pulled down Shiyan's hand, and stretched out his hand to rub his eyebrows with his thumb.Shiyan felt very comfortable, so she closed her eyes obediently.

Someone knocked on the door, Xia Yue continued to rub it, and raised his voice to say something.

The boy pushed the door open and came in, saw the stone basin plum bottle wine cup on the table in front of the bed in the inner room, and asked if he needed to open another table.

Xia Yue nodded, and after a while, several servants moved tables and stools in and put them in the outside room, and then some servants came in to serve dishes.

After all the food was served, all the attendants retreated, and Xia Yue stopped kneading and pressing after the servant closed the door, and coaxed Shiyan to eat.

Xia Yue saw that Shiyan should not be too drunk, at least she is conscious, but her reaction is a lot slower, and it should be better to fill her stomach with some food.

Shi Yan obediently sat down at the newly opened dining table, picked up the chopsticks, took two bites, then paused, and couldn't help but look back at the table in the inner room.

Xia Yue couldn't see what he meant, he hesitated for a moment, thinking that even if Shi Yan was drunk, it would not be difficult to serve him, not to mention that it would be okay to have a drink or two and deliver the food with him watching, so he got up and went to get it Come over with plum vase and wine cup.

Shi Yan watched Xia Yue pour wine for himself, then grabbed the plum bottle and poured wine for Xia Yue himself.

Xia Yue smiled and picked up the wine cup and took a sip. Seeing that Shi Yan was happy, he reached out and pinched his earlobe, urging him to move his chopsticks.

It's cold, and although this bedroom is a warm room, the cooling speed of the food is still not slow, and Xia Yue didn't order to prepare a stone basin, so the two of them can only concentrate on eating, lest they get cold in half.

After the two of them were satisfied and the table and stools were cleaned up, Shi Yan, who was more awake, opened the window to dissipate the remaining smell, and then grabbed Xia Yue and sat at the table in the inner room.

Xia Yue watched him pour the wine from the glass bottle into the plum bottle, put it into the water and scald it, and couldn't help but wonder if his little husband became a little alcoholic after learning to drink.

While waiting for the wine to be hot, Shiyan rested her elbows on the table and looked at the plum vase with her chin resting on her hands.After a while, he tilted his head to the right, as if remembering something.

"Sanggong, I seem to have eaten more than usual just now."

"Huh?" Xia Yue heard the words and thought about it. It is true that Shi Yan had a good appetite just now. Compared with his own, Shi Yan's food intake is actually smaller. Seeing how much he ate, Xia Yue was actually very happy, so he let him eat. .

"Why?" Shi Yan looked at Xia Yue and asked.

Seeing Shi Yan's appearance that he seemed to know everything, Xia Yue felt a sense of satisfaction in his heart, and couldn't help puffing out his chest slightly.

"What Shiyan ate the most just now was the salt-roasted pork ribs, right?"

Shiyan nodded, her eyes dodged for a moment, she seemed a little embarrassed, after all, he almost ate all the ribs on the plate, and Xia Yue only picked up two pieces at the beginning.

Seeing him like this, Xia Yue couldn't help touching him again: "Eat if you want, as long as you are happy eating."

Shi Yan raised her eyes to look at him, feeling that Xia Yue is very strange today, although he has always tolerated herself gently, but today is really different from before.Shiyan couldn't describe the difference, but felt that Xia Yue was so gentle, and then felt a little itchy for some reason, her heart was beating so fast, she was embarrassed, and she seemed a little happy.

Here Xia Yue looked at Shang Shiyan, and he also became conscious. Shiyan didn't understand the difference, but he did.Shi Yan may feel that she always tolerates him, but those are just because Shi Yan is too cautious, Xia Yue hopes that he can be more comfortable, and don't need to care too much about making small mistakes, and some of them are not mistakes.It's just today that Shiyan drank for the first time, watching him sometimes curious, sometimes pleasantly surprised, sometimes puzzled, sometimes satisfied, Xia Yue felt full in his heart, and couldn't help showing a lot of pampering in his words and deeds.

What Shiyan doesn't understand is this pampering.He had never been spoiled before, so he naturally didn't know how it felt to be treated like this, but intuitively felt a little shy and a little sweet.Xia Yue, who was conscious, couldn't help but think about it.

"Sister? You haven't told me why I eat more than usual." Shi Yan didn't know that Xia Yue's heart was fluctuating. He saw that Xia Yue didn't speak, so he urged him.

Xia Yue came back to his senses, smiled and knocked on the wine cup on the table: "Because you drank."

"Wine?" Shi Yan blinked.

"Wine," Xia Yue also blinked, "This wine has a rich taste, and there will be a slight sour taste on the tongue after entering the throat. The taste is much improved.”

"Drinking can also increase appetite? I thought that drinking would make you feel full, but you would eat less than usual." Shi Yan looked down at the empty wine cup, and Xia Yue could see that he felt a little unbelievable.

The wine was still hot, Xia Yue couldn't help but keep looking over there, Shi Yan had never learned it before, and Xia Yue was a little worried about his hot wine, and wanted to remind him, after thinking about it, he decided to let Shi Yan try it, At worst, if there is something wrong, just tell him well.

Guessing that the time was almost up, Shi Yan took out the plum bottle, tested the temperature, and then put it aside. After a while, she reached out to touch the body of the bottle again. When she felt that the temperature was right, she poured wine for Xia Yue.

Xia Yue looked at Shi Yan who was looking at himself after pouring out the wine, and saw the expectation on that unwavering face, he smiled and lowered his head to take a sip.

Then Xia Yue was stunned.

He suddenly lowered his head and stared at the wine cup in his hand, then looked up at Shi Yan with disbelief in his eyes.

"How is it?" Shi Yan asked him.

Xia Yue didn't make a sound, just took another sip, this time he put the wine on the tip of his tongue and tasted it carefully.

"Is this the wine made from ordinary rice?"

Shiyan nodded: "Yes, what does Mr. Xiang think?"

Xia Yue was a little surprised. This wine, which tasted a little messy at room temperature, tasted very balanced at this time. The flavor of the wine was fully developed. It was elegant and mellow, and it was no less inferior to the wine brewed with rice from Baijiajiu.

Xia Yue told Shi Yan these things, and saw that the corners of Shi Yan's lips curled into a cute little arc again.

"Sir, the taste of the wine will be different at different temperatures, right?"

Hearing Shi Yan's question, Xia Yue was a little surprised. He remembered that he hadn't had time to tell Shi Yan about this, but Shi Yan figured it out by himself?

"After Xianggong left, I tried to drink hot wine by myself. I felt that it was different from the taste that Xianggong gave me before, so I tried it several times and found that every flavor was delicious. Xianggong said that every kind of wine There is the most suitable temperature, I just want to try it out.”

Shi Yan paused for a moment, perhaps because he thought that he drank half a bottle of wine behind Xia Yue's back, and his ears turned red.

"This is the most suitable temperature for me. When the plum vase is hot to the touch, let it cool down naturally for a while. At this time, the taste of the wine is the most mellow. So... I couldn't help but drink two more combine……"

Xia Yue was originally surprised that Shiyan could figure out a method of natural cooling, directly heating to the target temperature, and then naturally cooling to the target temperature after exceeding the temperature, the flavor of the wine produced by these two methods is different.Then when Shi Yan explained the reason why he drank too much wine in embarrassment, he felt that the red ears in front of him were so cute.

only……

"Shiyan, you drank two more drinks, that is to say, three drinks? Are all three drinks at this temperature?"

When Shi Yan first heard Xia Yue ask him if he had drunk Sanhe, he looked away guiltily, worried that he was blaming himself for drinking too much, but found that what Xia Yue wanted to ask was not this, and looked at Xia Yue curiously.

"Well, it's all at this temperature."

Xia Yue raised his eyebrows: "How do you know they are all at the same temperature?"

Shi Yan blinked, and said seriously: "I can feel it."

Hearing this, Xia Yue pondered for a while, and asked Shi Yan to burn it again.

In the end, he couldn't tell whether Shiyan had let him down or not.

Xia Yue carefully sipped the wine that tasted the same as the one he drank just now, and lowered his eyelashes to cover up the wavering in his heart.Shiyan's accurate grasp of the temperature surprised him... Xia Yue suddenly felt that he had taken a very talented husband.

No, this talent is simply a gift from God.Accurate perception of temperature may not be of much use in ordinary life, but for scalding wine without a thermometer, it is equivalent to a golden hand. Coupled with the accurate capture of subtle flavors in wine, Shiyan's ability to taste wine Maybe just as high.

Xia Yue suddenly didn't dare to look at Shiyan anymore.

He admits that the brewery needs such an ability, not just wine tasting, but in one of his own ideas, Shiyan's other ability can also be of great help to him.But the problem is that he just realized that he has a little heart for Shiyan.

It was a good thing to be able to fall in love with Shiyan. He didn't intend to take the servant, and he could see that Shiyan had feelings for him. If the two can be happy, it will naturally be the best ending.However, just when he was attracted to Shiyan, he was made aware of Shiyan's talent. With such a big temptation in front of him, Xia Yue suddenly became entangled.

It is true that, as the husband of the Yun family, it is only natural for Xia Yue to ask Shi Yan to help with the family business. No one will think that he is using Shi Yan, and Shi Yan herself will be happy to help him.

However, what Xia Yue is worried about is feelings. He is not so hypocritical that he thinks that love must be pure and free from impurities. But now, in a state where love has not yet developed, he is a little attracted to Shi Yan itself, but not to Shi Yan's talent. It made him feel a little bit worse.

When Xia Yue was a little disgusted with his profit-seeking nature, the little husband who had been praised by his husband for boiling the wine very well could no longer hold on, and lowered his head bit by bit.

Xia Yue noticed that he could only let go of his entanglement first, shook Shi Yan, tried to call twice, and found that he was not sober, Xia Yue simply picked him up by the waist, put him on the bed, and untied him In a bun, take off the outer robe, untie the belt, and then open the quilt and cover it up.

After putting the clothes on the clothes rails, he walked back, stood beside the bed and stared at Shi Yan's sleeping face for a long time, before he blew out the lamp, undressed himself and lay down.

Feeling that there was someone more beside her, Shi Yan squeezed over in a daze, and pressed against Xia Yue.Xia Yue thought that he might be a little cold after being drunk, so he reached out and hugged him, watching him take a comfortable position in his arms.

Xia Yue opened his eyes in the dark, and his eyes fell on a random point for a long time.After an unknown amount of time, he sighed, looked back at Shiyan's sleeping face, pressed a light kiss on his forehead, and then closed his eyes and fell asleep.
