The Emperor’s Beloved Ugly Girl

Come on, try Nurhong. Gu Changlin stretched out his hand and poured out a cup of hot Nirhong, and brought it to Meiya, It has ginger and plum in it, it's not intoxicating, it's sweet and delicious.

Yeah, Meiya, who never drank alcohol, broke her precept today, took a sip from her wine glass, her eyes widened immediately, and she looked at Gu Changlin in disbelief, It's really sweet! It's delicious!

Then drink more. Gu Changlin said with a smile, pouring himself a glass as well.

Meiya took another sip, and curiously asked Gu Changlin: Mr. Gu, the name of this wine is really strange, why is it called Nurhong?

This is wine from the south, no wonder you don't know it, Gu Changlin said with a smile, and continued to speak slowly while filling the Meiya again, The first time I drank Nurhong was in Shaoxing. Traveling in the south, I happened to meet Ming Wei’s master. The two young men in their early twenties hit it off and traveled together in Shaoxing. It happened that there was a family member who married a daughter in that place, and he invited us to a banquet. That’s when I had a drink for the first time. When I arrived at Nv'erhong, I had only heard of it a little before.

Meiya held her chin and was always very well-behaved, but at this moment she appeared a little embarrassed. She looked at the orange-red wine in the glass, and said a little embarrassedly: This, this is the wine that Shaoxing only drinks when he marries his daughter. ?”

Yeah, girl is really smart, Gu Changlin smiled, and while serving a bowl of eight-treasure sweet cheese to Meiya, he continued, Shaoxing is not a big place, but it is particular about it, and it was there a hundred years ago. There is a tradition of Huadiao wine for marrying a daughter. That place does not value boys blindly compared to other places. If a girl is born in the family, if you are a father, you must use three acres of glutinous rice to make three jars of daughter red. The altar was sealed and buried under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree in the backyard, like a deeply hidden father's love, Gu Changlin's voice was very soft and soft. He had never been a father in his life. At this time, he looked at the little girl with red eyes in front of him. His heart was extremely gentle, When nothing is wrong, Dad will step under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree for a few steps, as if his heart is more at ease, and he looks back at the little girl. The willow leaves are getting brighter and brighter day by day, father is very happy in his heart, but also very bitter, the girl is going to get married when she grows up.

Meiya looked at Gu Changlin with tears in her eyes, she wiped her tears and didn't speak, just looked at her like that, her lips trembled, her nose was so sore, but her heart was extremely warm.

She has no father, no one who brews wine for her as a dowry, and no one who watches her grow up and put on a phoenix coronet to sit in a bridal sedan chair. Daughter Hong, who was steaming hot, suddenly felt no wronged, no regrets.

When the girl gets married, the mother's family uses wine as a dowry gift and sends it respectfully to her husband's house. According to the old Shaoxing rules, the first three bowls of wine to be scooped out from the altar should be presented to the girl's husband's father-in-law. , biological father, and my own husband, implying wishing for a healthy life and a prosperous family, girl, seeing that you are about to get married, so I have long wanted to bring you to drink daughter's red wine, Gu Changlin continued, taking Handing the handkerchief to Meiya, she said with a smile, Girl, drink a few more cups of Nurhong to warm up your body and heart.

Yes, Meiya kept nodding, took the veil and buried her whole face in it. After a while, the girl cried, Sir, thank you! Really Thank you!

Gu Changlin didn't speak, his throat was so sore that it couldn't get any worse, he reached out and rubbed Meiya's head lightly, then picked up the wine glass in front of him, and drank the warm liquid into his belly.

...

Gu Changlin and Meiya ate this meal for a long time, and it took a full hour to finish it. Immediately, a maidservant came in to bring water, and Meiya simply washed her face, and then went out with Gu Changlin one after another. between.

Sir, how much money did you spend on this meal? Meiya enjoyed the meal, but she was still worried about the cost after eating, How about I make it up for you.

That's not okay, I agreed to invite you, Gu Changlin shook his head with a smile, and turned to Meiya and said, Do you like the eight-treasure sweet cheese from this shop?

Meiya ate three bowls of eight-treasure sweet cheese just now, but she didn't eat much of other delicate dishes.
