Chen Tianling looked at the clear liquid and jumped up happily.
"It's done!"
Chen Tianrui was also relieved, "This should be what the young master wants, hurry up and send it over."
After the government examination is over, studies are no longer so stressful.
Chen Ping was holding Qin and was looking for a secluded place to cultivate his sentiments for a while, when a familiar voice came from outside the bamboo garden.
"Master! Master!"
Chen Tianling hurried over with a food box. Although he was sweating, he looked very excited.
"Look, is this what you want?"
She couldn't wait to take out two wide-mouth bottles from the food box and opened the special glass lids, which contained clear and cold wine.
Before Chen Ping got close, he smelled a long-lost smell.
"Is it done?" He dipped a little with his finger and put it on the tip of his tongue. The spicy and mellow taste of wine hit the bridge of his nose, and he said excitedly: "This is it!"
Although the alcohol content may only be about 40 degrees, it is much stronger than the wine of this era.
Dayu Chao basically drinks rice wine, medicinal wine, and fruit wine. Some people also prefer wine or yellow orange wine, but the alcohol content does not exceed 20 degrees.
"Tian Rui, you have helped me a lot this time!" Chen Ping was very happy. As long as he took out this thing, he would not believe that Ling Shu would not take the bait.
Chen Tianrui looked proud and said respectfully: "It's all the master's idea. If you have nothing else to do, I will go back to the shop first."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work. I'll go out with you."
The two said goodbye at the gate of the academy, and Chen Ping turned around and went to Xie Zhiyuan's house in the next street.
The small courtyard is not big, but it is very unique. The person who opened the door was Zhang Li.
Xie Zhiyuan has been in Zhengxing Mansion for so long. Chen Ping has only seen Zhang Li next to him, but there is obviously more than one person guarding him. He just doesn't know where the others are, but he is too lazy to ask.
The backyard is also covered with bamboo shadows, blocking most of the strong sunlight.
Thanks to Yuan Yuan, Chen Ping came over and quickly hid the letter in his hand.
"Hey, senior brother is writing a love letter again!" Chen Ping joked.
"No way. Just...just write a few nonsense sentences." Xie Zhiyuan showed a rare shyness on his face, "Why are you free to come here today?"
Chen Ping shook the wine bottle in his hand, and Xie Zhiyuan's eyes flashed, "Did you make it? Is this the strong wine you were talking about?"
He rushed forward, pulled it over, opened the bottle cap, and took a big sip.
The whole set of movements was so smooth, fast and skillful that Chen Ping had no time to stop him.
Xie Zhiyuan's handsome and bright face suddenly turned red, his expression was ferocious, and he growled, "Ahh..."
Zhang Li's expression also changed, and he pressed his knife and stepped forward to take down Chen Ping.
"Great!!!"
Zhang Li paused:???
"Hoo ho ho, it feels so good! So happy, this is the real wine!" Xie Zhiyuan shouted with rapid breathing.
Chen Ping shook his head speechlessly, he was indeed a drunkard.
"Zhang Zhang, you should try it too. This is simply a nectar!"
The sudden changes in several situations in an instant caused Zhang Li to lose control of his expression management. He was stunned for a moment before reacting, and quickly picked up the wine glass on the table and poured some into it.
"Sure enough, such a good wine is unique." He couldn't help but praise it after drinking.
Chen Ping looked at the two white mice and they both agreed very much, and he felt confident in his heart, "How about it? This wine will definitely attract Ling Shu to take the bait."
"That's natural. By the way, what's the name of this wine?"
"Fairy Dew."
"When a fairy holds a cup of dew, it cannot reach the cup. Sure enough, this wine is like a fairy wine." Xie Zhiyuan nodded in agreement.
"My idea is to hold a wine tasting party, so that our purpose will not be too obvious. We will contact Ling Shu at the wine tasting party and use the wine as a gimmick to attract his attention. But this matter probably has to be led by the government.
That'll do." Chen Ping told him his plan.
"It's very simple. Magistrate Lu is also a good drinker. I just go and talk to him." Xie Zhiyuan thinks this matter is not difficult to handle.
"Okay, I'll wait for your news. I'll give you the remaining bottle. I'll go to the workshop and ask them to prepare the goods. The time will be May 15th."
"Okay. Zhang Li, send a greeting card to the Lu family immediately."
The two agreed to act separately.
……
Just after Youchu, Xie Zhiyuan came to visit again in the Flower Hall of Lu Mansion.
"Oh, Uncle Lu! You are really worried about the imperial examination, so my nephew came here to visit today." He said and handed the gift to the housekeeper of the Lu family.
Lu Wei looked at Mr. Xie and murmured in his heart.
Liu Bi died last time, so who do you want to kill now?
He was still frightened, so he had to take precautions. He tactically took a few steps back and said, "It's been so long since the imperial examination. It's really hard for my nephew to still remember me."
Xie Zhiyuan's face remained calm and his heart did not beat. He smiled and said: "It is precisely because I am worried that Uncle Lu is too tired and will affect your rest, so I don't dare to come and disturb you easily."
Lu Wei looked at the smile on his face and shuddered unconsciously.
"As for my nephew, this is the official responsibility." He asked cautiously, "I wonder why my nephew came to visit today...?"
"I feel ashamed to say it, but my nephew has a little trouble and wants to ask Uncle Lu for help."
"Well, I haven't been in good health lately, and I have a heavy workload. I'm afraid..." Lu Wei quickly waved his hand and declined politely.
Are you still here?! If you hadn’t seen your father’s face, you wouldn’t even be able to enter the Lu Mansion.
"Uncle Lu misunderstood, please try this first." Xie Zhiyuan took out the wine bottle from his arms, poured the wine into the teacup in front of him, and handed it over.
Lu Wei took the tea cup in confusion, and immediately smelled the rich and mellow smell of wine, and his heart moved slightly.
"This wine was brewed by my nephew's distant cousin. In my opinion, this wine is unique in the entire Dayu Dynasty."
This is what he and Chen Ping agreed upon. If the wine tasting party can be held smoothly, then Zhao Jin will be allowed to come forward as Xie Zhi's distant relative.
The aroma of the wine was really alluring. Lu Wei raised his head and drank it in one gulp. The cold wine touched his lips, and the spicy wine flavor immediately broke through the taste buds and reached straight to the internal organs.
He looked at Xie Zhiyuan in surprise and asked curiously: "What kind of wine is this?"
It's so pure and strong that I have never drunk it before, or even heard of it.
"This wine is called Immortal Dew. My brother wants to sell it, but he has no idea how to drink it. If Uncle Lu thinks it's good, can he introduce some wine experts to my brother for cooperation?"
"Which firm does he want to cooperate with?"
"My nephew came here today just to ask Uncle Lu to help organize a wine tasting party. Firstly, it will allow my brother to broaden his horizons and expand his contacts, and he will also be able to choose a suitable wine shop to cooperate with; secondly, why Ganzhou Prefecture Examination has been successfully completed, Baidu
A talented person stands out and deserves to be celebrated."
Xie Zhiyuan told the purpose of his trip, and Lu Wei also felt that his words were reasonable.
However, he was more cautious as an official and felt that it would be more appropriate for someone else to come forward for such a matter, so he said: "It is not very appropriate for the government to come forward to hold a wine tasting party. But I believe that Ling's Trading Company will definitely be interested. They are the largest wine shop in Qianzhou.
I can help you by writing and asking, it shouldn’t be difficult.”
Xie Zhiyuan was secretly happy that this was just right, and he quickly thanked him: "My nephew, I'll thank you first. If Ling's Trading Company agrees to organize it, the date will be set on May 15th, so that I can ask Brother Shi to prepare more drinks.
”
"Yes. I will send someone to inform you if there is news."
"Then, my nephew, please leave first." Xie Zhiyuan left the wine bottle on the table before leaving.
After Lu Wei watched him leave, he picked up the wine bottle and sipped it sip by sip, intoxicated by the delicious taste of the fairy dew.
