The night is quiet, the wind is cool, and there are bursts of flowers.

In the study of Huo Mansion, Huo Xi, the head of the Huo family, sat in front of the tea table, holding a pipe of dry tobacco in his mouth.

A maid next to him lit the tobacco leaves in the tobacco pot with a fire broker. He took a deep breath and then spit out a long white mist.

Facing opposite him was his nephew, Huo Chuanming, the magistrate of Guangling.

"He didn't sell that wine. You said... what does Li Chenan mean?"

"When I go back to my uncle, I think one is that he has no money to expand the scale. Secondly, the Shen family made a statement and told the entire Guangling City grain merchants not to sell grain to him."

"Of course, his tavern sells ten kilograms of wine every day, but it doesn't require much food. He can also buy it secretly from some small vendors. But if he wants to grow, it's impossible, so his screen painting Spring will not pose any threat to our Guanglingsan."

Huoxi took another breath of cigarette, and the smoke blurred his old face.

He squinted his eyes and looked out the window, and then asked a moment later: "Chen Qianshan...Chen Qianshan has done a good job over the years. But in this Guangling City, he still cannot control all grain merchants, for example, His old rival Cai Zhengyao."

"Uncle, Chen Qiaoxi mentioned that Cai Zhengyao had been to the tavern, and her nephew also sent someone to investigate. Cai Zhengyao did go to his tavern to drink in the past few days."

"But... Cai Zhengyao's business in Guangling City is quite big. I think he doesn't have the dozens of kilograms of grain that Li Chenan needs."

"Even if he can get on, it's okay if he really cooperates with Li Chen'an."

"As long as Chen Qianshan handles the autumn grains in Jiangnan this year, Cai Zhengyao's business will lose its supply. At that time, he will not have time to protect himself, and it is even more impossible to sell grains to Li Chen'an."

"Yes," Huo Xi nodded and asked again: "Have Duke Cheng left?"

"When I heard from Zhongli Qiuyang that Duke Cheng would probably stay in Guangling City for three or five days."

"You said... Duke Cheng brought his grandson Cheng Zhe to Zhongli Mansion to propose marriage. It has been five or six days since then. Why didn't he hear any news?"

"This... After all, the third lady Zhongli is tough, so she shouldn't like Mr. Cheng, otherwise she wouldn't have done anything to seek a son-in-law by literature."

"This is obviously a loss of face for Duke Cheng, and it is normal that there is no news."

Huo Xi took another breath of cigarette, and the tobacco leaves in the cigarette pot had burned out. He turned over the cigarette pot, knocked it on his heel, and handed the cigarette pole to the maid behind him.

"This matter is still a bit strange. I think that since Duke Cheng has arrived in Guangling City, Huo Family Detachment will visit him. After all, Duke Cheng, one of the five major governments, has a great influence in our Ningguo."

"Mingyang has a close relationship with Duke Luo in Kyoto, but if he can get closer to Duke Cheng's Mansion, it will be of some help to his career."

"But I asked the butler to send the letter to Zhongli Mansion... I didn't send it out, and I didn't even see Duke Cheng."

"It has been a few days since Duke Cheng arrived in Guangling City. He has been living in Zhongli Mansion for a long time, and he has not even left the door... What does this mean?"

Huo Chuanming thought for a while, "Maybe he was talking about the marriage with Zhongli Su, or the words of his nephew who was exploring Zhongli Qiuyang another day."

"Well," Huo Xi nodded, "Zhongli Mansion is too high, and Duke Cheng's Mansion is too high. If they really marry into each other, it would be a huge pressure on Duke Luo's Mansion."

"Fortunately, the third lady in Zhongli's mansion had no intention of this, which was a good thing. Let's not talk about this anymore. After all, the strength of Huo Mansion is still far from them."

Huo Xi picked up the teacup and took a sip, and asked Huo Chuanming another question:

"Has Mr. Hua Mantinghua left Guangling City?"

"Old Hua has left Guangling City today and headed for Kyoto. Liu Zhuo personally delivered the trip."

Huo Xi pondered for a moment and nodded again. He sat upright from the chair, "Then wait for Duke Cheng to leave Guangling City, and then... I want to draw the brewing method of Pingchun."

"My nephew knows!"

"In addition, although it is only the end of March, the autumn grain matters in Jiangnan must be ordered to be taken seriously. There must be no mistakes in that matter!"

"Write two letters, one to the fifth and eighth and the other to the eighth and the one in Yi County. These two counties are major grain-producing counties in Jiangnan, so they can also keep an eye on it."

"In addition, I also got a news that the daughter of Lord Cao, the weaving master in Jiangnan, happened to be in the hairpin. Ming Yang means... let me go to Pingjiang to propose marriage to Huo Zigui."

"You can prepare more gifts in the past few days and I will take them there."

Huo Chuanming's eyes lit up. Although Jiangnan Weaving was only a fifth-rank official, it was one of the two major fatalities in Ningguo!

The other is the salt and iron department.

If the Huo family in Guangling can marry the Cao family in Jiangnan, it will certainly be of great benefit to the Huo family.

My cousin Huo Baiyang is in Kyoto. Although he is a close minister of the prince, he still needs a lot of help.

He suddenly thought of another question, so he leaned over and asked in a low voice:

"Uncle, my nephew heard that Kyoto... His Highness the Second Prince seems to have overwhelmed His Highness the Crown Prince?"

Huo Xi raised his eyes, his eyes slightly cold.

"Don't ask, don't talk about these things, and don't worry about them!"

"You just need to do your part, and Bai Yang will arrange the rest."

"The most important thing now is the matter in our Guangling City. Huapingchun is pressing on our Guanglingsan's head, which makes me feel a little uneasy!"

"Li Chenan also makes me feel a little uneasy!"

"Although I can't touch him for the time being, I can also lick him and block him. For example, there are a lot of gangsters in Guangling City?"

Huo Chuanming bowed and looked ruthless: "I know what to do!"

The Huo family in Guangling was taking Li Chenan's idea, and there were also people in the Peach Blossom Villa in Zhongli Ruoshui.

"I said to Your Highness Fourth Princess, don't you go and try it?"

In Taohua Villa, there are a large area of ​​big red lanterns hanging in a large peach forest.

In one of the pavilions, Zhongli Ruoshui smiled at Ning Chuchu opposite him and said with a smile: "It's really delicious. That guy Cheng Zhe and Qi Zhixue almost started fighting for the wine. For a few days, they were waiting in front of his tavern every day to open the door."

"Because it's a little late, it's gone."

"Hey, I said, what do you think of him...he?"

Ning Chuchu curled her lips, "What's the matter?"

"What's the matter with Shangbu Shangcheng?"

Ning Chuchu immediately glared at Zhongli Ruoshui, "Isn't it just brewing a pretty good wine? This is just a small path. What Prime Minister Shang did is the real avenue!"

Zhongli Ruoshui raised his nose, "But Qi Zhixue said that if he could walk out of a big road from the small road, it would be an amazing skill!"

"Also..." Zhongli Ruoshui bit his lip, "Once everyone in Guangling City thought he was just a fool, who would have thought that he could make such a good wine?"

"Now everyone thinks he is just a shopkeeper in a tavern. Who knows if he has the opportunity one day, will he have the ability to govern the country and pacify the world?"

Ning Chuchu felt that Zhongli Ruoshui had been poisoned by that person these days.

However, although Zhongli Ruoshui's fantasy was a bit unrealistic, Li Chenan was indeed a bit capable.

Since he made such a good wine at once, it means he already knew that this winemaking technology was better than Ruilu, but he had been low-key and tolerant for 17 years and would rather sell the steamed cake with extremely low profits than sell it.

A huge wine.

He knew it was amazing.

It was not until he had the identity of Lijing Si embroidered clothes that he brewed the wine, which was to make a decision and then move.

Therefore, his personality is really as calm as Hua Lao said, and his behavior is not as frivolous as most young men in the world.

In this way, Li Jingsi's arduous task can be handed over to him.

Ning Chuchu leaned over Zhongli Ruoshui, with no seriousness on her face as the leader of Lijingsi, showing her playful look that belonged to the girl: "Hey, I said, if you really like him, in order to show your unique vision of Zhongli Ruoshui,

In order to make the entire Zhongli Mansion have no gossip about you..."

"Should you help him?"

"If he can really be named a marquis and a minister, I think that would be the most perfect. After all, the identity of a shopkeeper in a small tavern...even if you don't dislike it, will you feel a little regretful after all?"

When Zhongli Ruoshui heard this, he thought for a moment and nodded, "Who in the world doesn't want his husband to be dazzling? But how can I help him?"

"Think about it, is his painting Pingchun now in short supply?"

"yes!"

"Since Hua Pingchun is so good, his backyard is so small..."

Zhongli Ruoshui understands it.

She suddenly realized and said, and a bright light suddenly flashed in her eyes.

"Build a winery!!"

“Build a big winery!”

"Increase the output of Huapingchun above Guanglingsan!"

"A higher selling price, higher profit, and a larger market... Even if he has no ambition to be a marquis and ministers, it would be no problem to become the richest man in Guangling...a good idea!"

Ning Chuchu laughed.

Zhongli Ruoshui fell into the girl's fantasy: "I will build a workshop for him in the thousands of acres of land outside!"

"But... it's definitely not OK to sell it in the teeth store. First, he doesn't have that much money, and second, what if there are other merchants who want to buy it?"

"By the way, you can lend it to him."

"But he doesn't like to be favored very much. What if he doesn't want to?"

The girl was talking to herself, sometimes frowning between her eyebrows and sometimes smiling happily. Finally, her eyes rolled around, "I almost forgot that I can become his friend!"

"He doesn't know my name, and he can't let me know my name for the time being."

"The drama of heroes saving beauty has not been performed yet... He has met Cheng Zhe... In the past two days, I have arranged a few generals to ask Cheng Zhe to wear scarves. Let's go to the door of his tavern to perform in front of his tavern.

This play!"
