However, the Huo family did not know these facts.

When Huo Xi, the head of the Huo family, learned that the fool from the Li family at the east end of Erjingou Alley seemed to have brewed a better wine than Ruilu, he summoned Huo Chuanming, with the intention of asking him to investigate.

What happened to that fool? Unexpectedly, he learned more information from Huo Chuanming.

General Huo Chuan told Huo Xi in detail what happened in the government office a few days ago. Of course, he didn't know that there was another small case earlier, that is, Li Chendong sued Li Chenan for breaking into the house and committing murder.

In addition, Liu Zuo told Cai Yutang not to mention that Li Chenan might have some kind of relationship with Li Jingsi, so Huo Chuanming, who was always cautious, made a wrong judgment——

"Uncle, this is actually a good thing!"

"Although our Guangling San occupies a huge market, the most high-end market is still firmly controlled by Qujia's Ruilu!"

"Since Li Chenan has brewed a better wine than Ruilu..." He stroked his short beard and narrowed his eyes slightly, "As long as Cheng Guogong leaves Guangling City, Li Chenan's relationship with Zhongli Mansion will lose its meaning!"

"In addition, my nephew also heard about Zhongli Qiuyang's tone in the government office. Zhongli Qiuyang laughed at the incident and said that it was just the third lady's naughty behavior. Furthermore, given the status of the Zhongli Mansion, how could the third lady do this?

Marry a white man like that!"

"So my nephew concludes that even if Third Miss Zhongli became interested in that fool, it was only for a moment. When the Zhongli Mansion no longer looks at him...our Huo family can easily take advantage of him!"

"At that time, wouldn't his recipe for wine fall into the hands of our Huo family?"

"If his wine is as good as rumored, our Huo family can defeat the Qu family in Kyoto and become the largest wine merchant in Ningguo, occupying all the markets!"

When Huo Xi heard this, he was happy, but he didn't show it on his face.

He even frowned and asked: "But after all, the Li family is a Li family where the father and son have seven Jinshis and three Jinshi!"

"If the eldest and second eldest son of the Li family wants to protect him... although Bai Yang is now the Young Master of Zhan Shifu, Li Wenhou, the second eldest son of the Li family, is already the Minister of Household Affairs."

"If Li Wenhou stands up for that fool, it is not easy for Baiyang to turn against Li Wenhou now, because 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, "My nephew thought that Li Wenhou would not protect that kid!"

"Why?"

"Because His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is going to fight in person, as the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, he must ensure the food and grass for the frontline soldiers. Our food harvest in Ningguo has not been very good in recent years, especially the floods in the south and north of the Yangtze River last year. Although there was a bumper harvest last year, the household harvest was not very good.

The department is still short of food!"

"So Baiyang wrote to tell me that I must ask the grain merchants in Guangling City to purchase a large amount of grain this year. After the army sets out, if the logistics supplies cannot keep up, Baiyang will send grain to His Highness the Crown Prince at this time... This is a timely help.

, he will definitely become the confidant of His Highness the Crown Prince!"

"During this period of time, I think Li Wenhou has no time to care about anything else. When His Highness the Crown Prince returns home in triumph, Baiyang will definitely be able to make further progress, and we have already obtained the method of brewing wine. At this time, even if Li Wenhou wants to protect Li Chenan

, I have to think more carefully!”

Huo Xi picked up the teacup and stood up, walking back and forth in the study for a few steps, "Then it's up to you to handle this matter."

"When it's done, I will remember you for your great achievements! My uncle will prepare a book and give it to Baiyang, the prefect of Guangling City... Liu Zuo is a thorn in his side!"

Huo Chuanming stood up and was overjoyed: "This is for our Huo family to take a further step. My nephew should go all out!"

"When will Li Chen'an's bistro open?"

"I heard tomorrow."

"Oh, I'll send someone to buy some of his wine tomorrow and come back to taste it to see if it's worthy of the name!"

If that silly boy really made a better wine than Ruilu... Huo Xi's eyes slowly narrowed, and a sinister smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

…

Also paying close attention to the tavern in Erjinggou Alley was Zhongli Ruoshui, after all, that person aroused great interest in her.

Especially after watching the song "About to Enter the Wine".

"Ms. Miss!"

In Peach Blossom Villa, a girl ran into the backyard like flying and stood panting in front of Zhongli Ruoshui.

"What's wrong?"

"Miss, he really made wine!"

"...Li Chenan?"

"Well, I heard that the strong aroma of wine was wafting all over Erjinggou alleys yesterday, and now I'm afraid it has spread throughout the city!"

Zhongli Ruoshui looked at Ning Chuchu who was also surprised across from him, and then asked the maid: "Is his tavern open?"

"Not yet. Mr. Cheng went there again last night and said that the door of the tavern was still closed. He said that the aroma of the wine alone was probably even better than Ruilu in Kyoto. I guess it will really open today."

"...better than Ruilu?" Ning Chuchu asked in disbelief.

Ruilu is a tribute from the royal family. Looking at the entire Ning Kingdom, there really is no better wine than Ruilu!

Cheng Zhe's fellow is obsessed with wine. As the Duke of Cheng, he often drinks Ruilu. If it is what he said, it is most likely true!

"Back to Your Highness, my maid, I've also heard about it. After all, his tavern hasn't opened yet, so I don't know what's going on."

Zhongli Ruoshui pondered for a moment: "I understand, prepare the car."

"Okay!"

The maid turned around and left. Ning Chuchu looked at Zhongli Ruoshui, "Still want to take a look?"

"You don't want to?"

"I'm a little curious, but I'm afraid that if he knows about Li Jingsi's situation, he will give up his responsibilities."

"But he already knows it from Cuihua's mouth, but you'd better not go."

"Why?"

"I think he is afraid that he will settle a score with you."

Zhongli Ruoshui stood up. She was wearing a red dress, like a blooming peach blossom, "I brought back a pot of wine for you to taste."

Watching Zhongli Ruoshui leave happily, Ning Chuchu's face showed a hint of melancholy.

After a moment, her face remained normal, and she asked Yu Heng who was standing behind her: "Tell me, if his wine is really that good, if I bring it back to the palace for my father to taste...if the palace regards his wine as a

Tribute, so that his wine will become famous. Since it can suppress Ruilu, it can naturally suppress Guangling Powder, so that he can earn a lot of money... Can he bring it to the Lijing Division branch in Guangling Prefecture?

What about changes?”

Yu Heng bowed, thought for a moment and said, "Your Highness, I'm afraid he won't be able to brew much wine in that small place."

"Besides, the Kyoto Qu family has been working hard in Kyoto for so many years. Compared with Mr. Li, the Qu family is a giant."

"My subordinates think that if he can open up sales in Guangling Prefecture, he can have a place to set up a brewing workshop. If he defeats the Huo family in Guangling Prefecture first... then this road can be longer and wider."

Ning Chuchu pondered for a moment, "It's true that I acted too hastily, but..."

Her expression suddenly brightened, and she looked at the splendid peach forest, "Isn't there thousands of acres of land outside Peach Blossom Villa?"
