Ask This Spring

Chapter 40:

The so-called "Nothing but Three Treasures Hall", the duty of the guards is to garrison the city, so naturally they will not come to the wine shop for no reason. Looking at the scene in front of him, Zhuo Lian could guess who was secretly doing the trick without thinking about it.

Although Zhuo’s family was only a merchant and could not blatantly drive the imperial order officer, the Seventh Prince was different. He was a real noble emperor. Even if he was only born to a court lady, ordinary people could not afford to commit crimes. Huan’s wine had a great reputation in Bianzhou. But how can those invisible names that are invisible and intangible can be compared to the black hat on the top of the head?

The county magistrate wanted to please the seven princes, so he ordered the guards to be sent here. If the Huan family knew the current affairs, they would all be happy. If they were stubborn, they would have to suffer the consequences.

But for a moment, Zhuo Lian has analyzed the situation clearly. Today's Huan Shen is only an eight-ranked school lieutenant. In any case, he can't be offended and won't be honorable. Rather than fighting stubbornly and causing trouble, it is better to be cruel and cut. Suddenly, he rushed to the capital immediately. At that time, Zhuo Xiaotong would want to attack him again, I am afraid it would not be an easy task.

Against the backdrop of the white snow, the woman's complexion became paler, but her black eyes were particularly clear. Huan Shen walked to Zhuo Lian a few steps, blocking the sight of everyone, and asked in a low voice: "Sister-in-law is not going to rest in the room, why come out? "

"It's all up to this point, where can I still sleep? Don't be impulsive. Whether it is money or the wine shop under your feet, they are all foreign objects, far less important than family members." Zhuo Lian frowned slightly and said. The dissuasion between time is very obvious.

In the past, Yang Hu often came to the store to buy wine. Because of his close relationship with Huan Shen, if Zhuo's brewed new wines, he would give him a taste of it. Thinking that such a wine shop would be bought by Zhuo's family, he felt very sorry. .

"My sister-in-law is right. The county magistrate must have another plan to requisition the wine shop." Yang Hu said this without his conscience, and Yang Hu only felt that his cheeks were burning, as if he had been slapped a few times. .

Zhuo Lian lowered his eyes, thought about it for a while, and suddenly said: "Our family lives in the store. Even if we want to move out, we have to clean up, can we give it a few days?"

Upon hearing this, the guards looked at each other and couldn't bear to refuse. To drive the old and weak women and children out of their homes, even if they are given money, they are still forced to buy and sell. The magistrate is a high-ranking magistrate, and he stayed calmly under the government's orders and told him not to worry about these trivial matters, but to let the brothers be evil people. It would be too unreasonable to refuse even such trivial requests.

Zhuo Yan caught a glimpse of the faces of the people, and had already expected how they would respond. She pressed her lips tightly, but a trace of ridicule crossed her eyes.

Although the county magistrate and Zhuo Xiao are in a nest with snakes and rats, they have to face and know their shame. Instead of directly revealing their purpose, they pulled a fig leaf to conceal their shame. The unnamed well water is sweet and clear, and it is great to use it for brewing tea; in the eyes of the Zhuo family, they can brew the bottomless and golden waves themselves, and they are afraid that they are inseparable from this well.

That's why they thought of ways, just to get the Wumingjing.

Yang Hu scratched his head, his honest face was full of shame, "Sister-in-law, I have discussed with my brothers that you can stay here for three more days. When the time limit is reached, you must take the title deed to the palace and sell the shop."

Zhuo Lianwen thanked him and watched the guards leave the wine shop. She turned to look at Huan Shen and couldn't help shaking her head. If you don’t leave, the Zhuo family may decide what means they will use."

If Zhuo Lian is the only one, she would not be afraid of the traps dug by the Zhuo family. But in the eyes of the world, she is the Huan family’s daughter-in-law, and she is inseparable from the Huan family. Besides, the wine shop is still a relic left by Huan’s father, Huan’s mother. After so many years of meticulous care, no matter how hard and hard the life is, she clenched her teeth and persevered. Now she is good at advocating and agrees to sell the store, but she doesn't know what her mother-in-law would think.

Following Zhuo's line of sight, Huan Shen was stunned and guessed her thoughts.

"Sister-in-law, don't worry, my mother is not an unreasonable person. The county magistrate has sent guards to the door. No matter how you and I don't want it, there is no room for change."

Zhuo Lian didn't say a word, only nodded, opened the door and walked to Huan's room.

Although Fangcai's formation seemed to be panicking, the noise was not too big. After all, many guards were familiar with Huan Shen, and we really couldn't do evil things to bully others. When Zhuo Lian entered the house, Huanmu was still covering her mouth and coughing. Seeing her daughter-in-law's figure, she couldn't help but snorted.

"Why did Lianniang come? I seemed to hear Uncle Fu's voice just now?"

Zhuo Lian sighed secretly, suddenly knelt down in front of the kang, and said in a dumb voice, "Mother, it's a bad daughter-in-law. If you provoke the Zhuo family, Zhuo Xiao will be cruel and forced to buy us through the hands of the county magistrate. Wine shop."

Hearing the implied meaning in the woman's words, Huanmu was stunned. Just as she wanted to help, she saw her son stalking to the front, pulling her slender wrist and pulling her up with a strong attitude.

"Mother, the reason why you have fallen to this point is that the Zhuo family is despicable and shameless, and has nothing to do with your sister-in-law. You should not blame her."

Huanmu glanced at him and slowly said: "I haven't spoken yet, you will take care of the good and the bad. Since your father left, all the long-term workers in our family have gone to Zhuo's house, and I see all those things. In my eyes, how can I not know the character of Zhuo Xiaotong? Zhuo Yujin wanted to buy the store, but after being rejected, there was no movement. I thought she had given up this idea, how can I know that there is a future move..."

Zhuo Lian felt deeply awkward with his arms tightly bound by the hot palms. Before he could speak, the young man took the initiative to let go, without embarrassing her at all.

"What the Zhuo family really wants, I am afraid that the nameless well, the wine shop is only incidental, but it is a pity that we can't stop it, and can only be tossed by him." Huanmu was unwilling to change the status quo.

Zhuo Lian's eyes flashed, and he said in a low voice, "It's not impossible."

Those guards only gave three days of effort, and some things were too delayed. Zhuo Lian first informed Huanmu of his plan to go to the capital. The latter hesitated for a while, and then agreed.

Huanmu couldn't worry about her son. She could go to the capital and take care of Huan Shen at all times. It was a good choice for her. Where would she think of rejection?

Seeing that she agreed, Zhuo Lian couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief. While packing up his things, he said: "Uncle, these simple tasks don't bother you, we can do it. There is one thing I want to ask you for help, I am afraid it will not be easy."

"What's the matter?" Huan Shen Jian raised his eyebrows and asked in a deep voice.

"The Tonglin Mountain is full of snow, and the road is difficult, but there is something in the forest that the concubine needs."

"You are straightforward."

Seeing the youth so refreshed, Zhuo Lian could not help but breathe a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "The black snake stays in the dark and damp place all year round. When dropped into an unnamed well, it is not toxic and will not hurt your body, but it will make the water in the well smell strong and you will no longer be able to make wine.

The clay figurine has a three-pointed earthy nature, and was bullied to the door of his house. How could Zhuo Lian not be angry? Didn't Zhuo Xiaotong want Wumingjing? It doesn't matter if the water well is given to him. The water in the well is smelly and loses its original effect. As long as she thinks of Zhuo Xiaotong's expression of discovering the truth, she can't help but chuckle.

Huan Shen looked at Zhuo Shi who was in front of him, with a little surprise in his heart. Even if an ordinary woman had been married, she would not speak frankly with the word "sac" like her. His sister-in-law is really different.

His gaze gradually moved down, falling on the corners of Yan Hong's soft lips, the young man nodded his head in a hurry, and walked out of the house with a basket on his back.

Now that the Amber Light had not had time to sell, such a big change occurred, Zhuo Lian had no time to hesitate, got up and hurried towards the Bowen Tea House. Fei Nian is a wine lover, and those precious rice wines are not ruined when they are handed over to him. If he takes things with him on the road, he may cause trouble.

The guy in the teahouse had seen Zhuo Lian several times, and at this moment, the steps to communicate with him were saved. They led the way and brought the woman to the private room.

Fei Nian was holding a cup of Jinbo in his hand and sniffing the sweet almond fragrance in it deeply. He suddenly heard a quick knock on the door. Just about to scold him, he saw Zhuo Lian standing at the door with a smile, pouring into his throat. The words of the eyes were swallowed back by him.

"Why is Lianniang here?"

Zhuo Lian entered the house, closed the door, and explained what had happened in the earlier wine shop. Fei Nian was furious after hearing this, and wanted to seek justice from the county magistrate, but was stopped by her.

"Boss Fei must not be impulsive. This matter is not only related to the county magistrate, but also to the heavenly family. It is really not worth it to offend the nobles for the sake of the wine shop."

Fei Nian sat down on the wooden chair, not even thinking about tasting wine, his face was full of sullen expression, like a **** that was defeated in a fight. He has lived for so many years, and Huan Jiajiu is the best sake he has ever drunk. Now that the wine shop has been taken away, doesn't it mean that you will never taste this kind of wine in the future?

Zhuo Lian is thoughtful, and now he has guessed the idea of ​​Boss Fei, pursing his lips and smiling.

"Don't worry, our family is going to move to the capital. We will make wine again at that time, and your drinks will not be lost."

Hearing this, Fei Nian finally breathed a sigh of relief, patted his chest and said, "Why is Niang Lian panting when she speaks? It's so risky that I didn't frighten me out. Your craftsmanship is older than those who make wine for decades. The master has to give a few more points. If you give up making wine because of those despicable bastards, it will be a loss for all those who love wine."

"Boss Fei is absurd. I don’t know what to say. I came here today to ask for something. A few months ago, I brewed a batch of rice wine. The quantity was not large, but the price was higher than that of sake. If you are interested If you don’t, I’ll send some over tomorrow, lest it be ruined on the road.” The pottery urn with rice wine is still in the mud hut, and the house is very busy. Zhuo Lian plans to take out the rice wine in the dead of night, so he didn’t bring the amber light on him. .

"Rice wine?" Boss Fei frowned, stretched out his hand to pinch the beard on the chin and asked, "Did Lian Niang make a mistake? Fei has been tossed about, he has heard of sake, mashed mash, and various kinds of mixed liquor. , I have never heard of rice wine, is it blended with medicinal materials?"

Zhuo Lian shook his head and explained, "The ingredients of rice wine are similar to sake, but due to the large number of feedings and long brewing time, the taste is more mellow and fragrant, and it is more expensive than sake."

Boss Fei was itchy, and suddenly stood up and urged: "Lianniang, or let me go to the wine shop. The taste of this rice wine can only be completely distinguished by tasting it in person."

"Don't worry, the amber light has not been taken out of the urn. You must drink it again tomorrow."

The author has something to say: I don’t know exactly what the scientific names of the two spikes are.
