Chapter 549: One Sword, One Qin, One Person
However, the Huo family did not know these facts.
When Huo Xi, the head of the Huo family, learned that the Li family fool at the east end of Erjinggou Lane, seemed to have brewed a kind of wine better than Ruilu, he summoned Huo Chuanming, with the intention of asking him to check what was going on with the fool, but he did not expect to know more information from Huo Chuanming.
The famous general Huo Chuan told Huo Xi in detail what happened to the government office a few days ago. Of course, he didn't know that there was another small case ahead, which was Li Chendong suing Li Chenan for the murder.
In addition, Liu Zhuo told Cai Yutang not to mention that Li Chenan might have some relationship with Li Jingsi, so Huo Chuanming, who has always been cautious, made a wrong judgment-
"Uncle, this is actually a good thing!"
"Although our Guanglingsan occupies a huge market, it is still firmly controlled by Qu's Ruilu in the highest-end market!"
"Since Li Chen'an has brewed a better wine than Ruilu..." He stroked his short beard and narrowed his eyes slightly, "As long as Duke Cheng leaves Guangling City, Li Chen'an will lose his meaning to Zhongli Mansion!"
"In addition, my nephew had also heard Zhongli Qiuyang's tone in the government office. Zhongli Qiuyang smiled at the news and said that it was just the naughty lady of the third lady, and even more so, with the status of Zhongli's mansion, how could the third lady marry such a white dick!"
"So my nephew concluded that even if Miss Zhongli became interested in that fool, it would only be a moment. When Zhongli's house's sight no longer looked at him... Our Huo family can easily grasp him!"
"At that time, wouldn't his wine recipe fall into the hands of our Huo family?"
"If his wine is really so good, our Huo family can defeat the Qujia in Kyoto and become the largest wine merchant in Ningguo and occupy all the market!"
When Huo Xi heard this, although he was happy, his face did not show.
He even frowned and asked, "But the Li family is the Li family of seven Jinshi and three Tanhua!"
"If the Li family's second house wants to protect him... Although Bai Yang is now the young secretary of the Zhanshi Mansion, Li Wenhou, the second houseman of the Li family, is already the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue."
"If Li Wenhou stands out for that fool, Bai Yang is not good at having a feud with Li Wenhou at the moment, because the matter of His Highness the Crown Prince's personal expedition has been put on the agenda."
When Huo Chuanming heard this, he pondered for a moment and said, "I think Li Wenhou doesn't protect that boy!"
“Why?”
"Because His Highness the Crown Prince wants to personally fight, as the Minister of Revenue, he must ensure the food and grass of the frontline soldiers. In recent years, the grain harvest in our Ningguo has not been very good, especially in the previous year, Jiangnan and northern Jiangbei suffered floods. Although the harvest was bumper last year, the Ministry of Revenue was still short of food!"
"So Bai Yang wrote to me that I must let the grain merchants in Guangling City purchase a large amount of grain this year. When the army sets out, if the logistics supply cannot keep up, Bai Yang will send grain to His Highness the Prince... This is a timely help, and he will definitely become His Highness the Prince's confidant!"
"During this period, I think Li Wenhou has no time to take care of other things. When His Highness, the prince will return to his grandfather, and we have already obtained the method of making wine. At this time, even if Li Wenhou wants to protect Li Chen'an, he will have to think more! "
Huo Xi picked up the teacup and stood up, and walked a few steps back and forth in the study, "Then you will do this."
"After completing the work, I remember your great achievements! My uncle will write a book to Bai Yang, the prefect of Guangling City... Liu Zhuo is a thorn in his side!"
Huo Chuanming stood up and was overjoyed: "This is for our Huo Mansion to go further. My nephew should do his best!"
"When will the Li Chenan's tavern open?"
"Let's hear it."
"Oh, I'll send someone to buy some of his wine tomorrow and give it a taste. Is it true?"
If that silly boy really made wine better than Ruilu... Ho Xi's eyes slowly narrowed, and a stern smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
...
Zhongli Ruoshui was also very concerned about the tavern in Erjinggou Alley. After all, that person made her very interested.
Especially after the song "Winning to Wine".
"Miss!"
In Taohua Villa, a girl ran into the backyard like a flying girl and stood in front of Zhongli Ruoshui panting.
"What's wrong?"
"Back to Miss, he really made wine!"
“…Li Chen’an?”
"Well, I heard that the strong aroma of wine was floating in Erjinggou alley yesterday, but now it may have spread all over the city!"
Zhongli Ruoshui asked Ning Chuchu, who was also surprised opposite him, and asked the maid again: "His tavern opened?"
"Not yet, Mr. Cheng went there again last night, saying that the door of the tavern was still closed, and that the wine smell was probably better than Ruilu in Kyoto. I guess it would really open today."
"...Better than Ruilu?" Ning Chuchu asked in disbelief.
Ruilu is a royal tribute. Looking at the entire Ningguo, there is really no better wine than Ruilu!
Cheng Zhe was obsessed with wine. As the Duke of Cheng Guofu, the one who often drank Ruilu. If it were his comments, it would be very likely true!
"Go back to Your Highness, I have heard of it, after all, his tavern has not yet been opened, so I don't know what it is."
Zhongli Ruoshui pondered for a moment: "I understand, prepare the car."
"Okay!"
The maid turned around and Ning Chuchu took Zhongli Ruoshui, "Or do you want to go?"
"You don't want to?"
"I'm a little curious, but I'm afraid he will leave the blame if he knows Li Jingsi's situation."
"But he already knew it from Cuihua's mouth, but you'd better not go."
“Why?”
"I think he will settle the score with you."
Zhongli Ruoshui stood up, wearing a red dress, like a blooming peach blossom, "I'll bring back a pot of wine for you to taste."
As Zhongli Ruoshui left happily, a hint of melancholy appeared on Ning Chuchu's face.
After a moment, she looked as usual and asked Yuheng, who was standing behind her, "You said, if his wine was really that good, if I brought it back to the palace to taste it for my father... If the palace used his wine as a tribute, his wine would become famous. Since it could suppress Ruilu, it would naturally suppress Guangling San, so that he could earn a lot of money... Can he bring changes to the Lijingsi branch in Guangling Prefecture?"
Yuheng bowed and thought for a while and said, "Your Highness, I'm afraid that much wine can't be brewed in his small place."
"Besides, the Qu family in Kyoto has been working in Kyoto for so many years. Compared to Mr. Li, the Qu family is a giant existence."
"I think if he can open up sales in Guanglingzhou, there is a place to build a winemaking workshop, and defeat the Huo family in Guanglingzhou first... Only then can he go longer and wider."
Ning Chuchu pondered for a moment, "I am too anxious, but..."
Her face suddenly became happy and looked at the brilliant peach forest, "Are there thousands of acres of land outside this Peach Blossom Villa?"
