Chapter 698: Artifact

"Big butler, you are back. The villain is about to send someone to Chang'an to find you." Sanyuan County, Gutian Village, and Liu Mansion, saw that Liu Wuchen had returned from the outside, and before he could enter the mansion, the manager Chen Ming trotted out of the mansion and greeted him with a burnt face and a weak tone, as if he had encountered something big.

"Mingze, you are the manager of the mansion. You are the one who is the one who is the servant of the mansion. How can you be so panicked when encountering problems?" He jumped out of the carriage and scolded Chen Mingze with some reproach. He took two steps forward. When he approached Chen Mingze, he asked him softly: "Tell me, what happened in the mansion in the past two days? How could you make you anxious like this?"

Chen Mingze has always been calm and calm. If something big happened, he would never have paniced and confused. Therefore, while saying these words, Liu Wuchen's heart also became a little tighter.

"Master, this is the news that a carrier pigeon was tamed in our mansion brought back from the northwest border this morning. Please read it." When Chen Ming bowed his body, he arched his hands lightly and handed Liu Wuchen the tiny bamboo tube that he had been holding in his hand to Liu Wuchen. His voice was still a little impatient, and he said, "When the Chongzhou Manager took the white pie in Gaochang, for some reason, he was forced to be restrained by the local military headquarters. Now he has no idea of ​​life or death."

"Oh?" After hearing Chen Mingze's words, Liu Wuchen, who reached out to take the message, couldn't help but pause his hands, and his expression on his face became a little heavier. He hurriedly raised his hand to open the bamboo tube, spread the cloth with the message inside and looked at it.

"The boss, even the pigeons in our mansion fly quickly. It has been three days since the letter was delivered from the northwest to our mansion. I don't know if the Chongzhou will be in good health in these three days."

While their housekeeper was reading the letter, Chen Ming said in a panic: "The barbarian soldiers are fierce, and the old man Hou Junji is the mortal enemy of our mansion. Now that the Chongzhou manager is in their hands, it must be a great disaster. The big housekeeper, we have to think of a way to rescue Manager Liu."

"You need to say this?" After reading the letter paper, Liu Wuchen turned his head and glanced at Chen Mingze, signaling him to follow him into the hall, holding the letter paper in his hand and walking back and forth in the hall for two steps, then said softly: "It's not a trivial matter to be arrested in Chongzhou, but Gaochang is not just a thousand miles away from this place? Even if we are interested, we are anxious to get angry here, but the far water that cannot save the fire is close to the fire, and there is no way."

"Then, are we just watching the Chongzhou manager and the others fall into Hou Laoer's hands without caring about it?" When he mentioned Hou Junji, Chen Mingze lost all the calmness he used to be. He couldn't help but think of his limp right leg. If it weren't for Hou Laoer's domineering behavior and indiscriminately, Chen Mingze and his other brothers would not have ended up being as disabled as he is now.

"Who said we don't care?" Liu Wuchen knew Chen Mingze's mood a little, so he didn't take these violent words too seriously. After looking at him, Liu Wuchen leaned down on the chair beside him and said softly: "You know, I know, the boss is also very clear about the boss. With the boss's temperament, do you think the boss will watch his servants step into danger and ignore it?"

"It was not convenient for the boss to expose his identity before, so you don't know some things," Liu Wuchen took a sip of the hot tea on the table and said to Chen Mingze softly: "In fact, before the mansion decided to let Manager Liu rush to Gaochang to buy Bai Diezi, the eldest young master had already given corresponding countermeasures for this."

"Aren't you always wondering why our Liu Mansion wants to buy Baidiezi at a price of 30% higher than others? Why do you have to take the initiative to sign a contract with local Gaochang officials for ten years or even longer every time you travel?"

Before Chen Mingze could reply, Liu Wuchen continued, "Isn't it just to save money and prevent disasters and make concessions to win people's hearts? If Chongzhou is in charge of everything in Gaochang, he will follow the instructions of the eldest son before, and even if he is really arrested by Hou Junji, at least he can save his life without worries."

"This, the butler, Mingze is a little reckless..." After hearing Liu Wuchen say this, Chen Mingze couldn't help but lower his head and looked ashamed.

"Also," nodded slightly, Liu Wuchen then opened his voice and said to Chen Mingze: "In addition to the efforts of Chongzhou to manage his own efforts in Gaochang, don't forget that on the northwest border, our Liu Mansion has a strong foreign aid."

"What the butler is talking about, Master Helan?" After Liu Wuchen mentioned this, Chen Ming quickly thought of Gongsun Helan, who was serving on the northwest border at this moment, and the sworn brother of their eldest son.

"After the manager of Chongzhou arrived in Gaochang, he thought he had already said hello before Young Master Helan. According to Young Master Helan's temperament, if he knew about this, he would not stand aside." Liu Wuchen nodded slightly and said, "However, there is more than the foreign aid in our Liu Mansion at the border."

After looking at Chen Mingze, he felt that there was something that should be revealed to him. Liu Wuchen gently put down the tea bowl in his hand and said in a low voice: "According to the eldest son, the eldest son of Mr. Yang's family is also on the northwest border at this moment, and he is also a garrison commander."

"Master Yang in the county?" Chen Ming opened his mouth in surprise. Master Yang in Sanyuan County who had some relatives with the Liufu family, the middle-aged man who had always acted like a kind local rich man? His son was actually a garrison commander on the border? Why have he never heard anyone mention it before?

"Some things can not be seen clearly with just a glance. Just understand them in your heart." Seeing the surprise in Chen Mingze's eyes, Liu Wuchen did not forget to whisper and said, "Don't mention them to outsiders again."

"Yes, the butler, Mingze understands." He bent over and responded lightly, and Chen Mingze felt a little happy in his heart. He even told him such a secret matter. It was obvious that their boss and the butler valued and trusted him a little more.

"There is a network of relationships developed by our Liu family in Gaochang, and the heavy army intimidation of Mr. Yang and Mr. Helan outside. Even if Hou Jun is so prosperous in Gaochang, he will not dare to act rashly," Liu Wuchen said: "So, in a short period of time, there will be no big trouble in the management of the heavy boat. You don't need to be too anxious. Don't tell his family early to know, and they will only worry about it."

"It's the young master who is the most thorough in planning with the big housekeeper, Mingze knows." After Xiao flattered Liu Yi and Liu Wuchen, Chen Mingze felt a little relieved, and responded lightly and stopped talking.

"You go and prepare now," nodded slightly, and after a while, Liu Wuchen spoke to Chen Mingze: "You will go to Chang'an on my behalf later. Such a big thing happened in the mansion. You should report to the eldest young master, saying that the eldest young master would have a better solution, and it may not be necessary."

"Yes, the butler."

"Also, since something happened in Gaochang, the transportation of the white folding pieces would be cut off for a while. The construction of the warehouse in the mansion would be put aside first." Thinking of the task assigned by the eldest young master of Chang'an, Liu Wuchen said softly to Chen Mingze: "Put someone to prepare a courtyard specially used to brew and store wine on the east side of the manor. In a few days, some people will move from Chang'an."

"Yes, the butler!" After responding, Chen Mingze opened a puzzled voice and asked Liu Wuchen: "Butler Liu, please ask me if you ask too much. This is brewing and storing wine. Is our Liu Mansion going to open a restaurant? Before coming to the mansion, the villain had learned the skills of brewing and steaming wine. If possible, the villain also wants to contribute his energy to the winery in our mansion."

"Oh? Manager Chen actually understands the matter of making wine and steaming wine?" This surprised Liu Wuchen. He looked at Chen Mingze with great attention and said, "But you asked me for the affairs of this winery, but you found the wrong person. The eldest young master had already given instructions that all the affairs of the Liu Mansion winery would be managed by Manager Liu Cheng. If Manager Chen had this idea, if he had time to go to Chang'an, he would not beware of it and talk to Manager Liu Cheng."

"Maintain Liu Cheng?" Is there a person in the mansion? When was there another manager in the mansion that he didn't know? Chen Mingze's head was full of questions, and he looked up at their housekeeper in confusion.

"Liu Cheng is the manager of Ma Cheng who left with the boss and the others before. He got the old lady's mercy and accepted the adopted son and gave him the surname Liu."

"In addition to these, there is another thing you will know sooner or later. It would be okay to tell you in advance so that you can be mentally prepared in advance." Seeing the confused look on Chen Mingze's face, Liu Wuchen spoke indifferently and said, "'Get drunk', do you know?"

Chen Mingze nodded. In recent years, the only restaurant that can compete with "Yiheju" is comparable to each other. There are probably not many people in the entire Tang Dynasty who don't know about it.

"'Three bowls are not enough to stand', have you heard of it?"

Chen Mingze nodded again, "Do Yi Drunk" specialty, the Tang Dynasty royal tribute wine, "Do Yi Drunk" has such a reputation today, mostly because of this "three bowls but no hang".

"Then I'll tell you now," seeing Chen Mingze nodding in response, Liu Wuchen sat up lightly, spoke seriously and said in a blunt voice: "The boss who is 'de-yi-drunk', surnamed Liu and named Cheng, is a manager of my Sanyuan Liu Mansion."

"Uh, so, this, this 'get drunk' and the 'three bowls of nowhere' are all industries in our Liu Mansion?!" Surprisingly, shocked, Jier was ecstatic from the bottom of his heart. Chen Mingze never expected that even when he was taking refuge outside, their young master could still make such an amazing move, quietly creating such a large industry for their Liu Mansion.

Involuntarily, Chen Ming began to feel grateful for his decision to stay in the Liu Mansion in his heart. With a talent like their eldest son, why should the Liu Mansion not be prosperous? His original choice was right.

"Not bad!" Liu Wuchen did not feel even a little surprised at Chen Mingze's unexpected and shocked expression. In fact, even he himself, when he first heard their eldest son mention this to him, Liu Wuchen's heart was also filled with storms.

He nodded gently at Chen Mingze with a gentle smile, and Liu Wuchen continued: "For this trip to Chang'an, the eldest young master has already added the name of Liu's family to the door plaque of "Deyizhu". "Deyizhu" has officially been included in the industry of the Liu family. At the latest tomorrow, you can see it in the "Deyizhu" restaurants in various parts of the Tang Dynasty."

"Also, I have mentioned just now that in a few days, the winery established in Chang'an City, which was set up in 'Do Yiji', will be moved to our mansion. Since Manager Chen has learned to brew wine, he might as well mention it to Manager Liu at that time."

"Yeah, then the villain will definitely ask Manager Liu for advice!" Chen Mingze began to feel excited when he thought of the opportunity to contact and participate in the brewing of Royal Tribute Wine.

"Well, it's OK, it's getting late, so let's go and prepare." Looking at the sky outside, it was almost noon, and I was afraid that it would miss the matter and make the matter worse, Liu Wuchen waved his hand to Chen Mingze and sent him down.

"Butler Liu, Mr. Yuan is here outside the door." Not long after Chen Mingze went out, the small gatekeeper guarding the door outside the door trotted into the hall and bowed to report to Liu Wuchen.

"Huh? Yuan Fang? He is not at home to make utensils, so why did he come here?" Liu Wuchen raised his eyebrows slightly. When he was passing by Sanyuan County when he returned from Chang'an, he went to Yuan's mansion specifically. Following the instructions of their young master, he reiterated the words he gave to Yuan Fang. Why did Yuan Fang run over again in less than an hour?

"When the housekeeper talked, when Mr. Yuan came, he brought three donkey carts over. Each donkey cart was covered with a large piece of cloth, which looked like some equipment had been pulled." Hearing Liu Wuchen's words, the little gatekeeper boldly interrupted.

"Oh? He also brought some things here?" Liu Wuchen suddenly sat up from the chair and said, "Can he have made all the utensils?"

It took less than an hour to finish the hardest "scrambler" so quickly?

"Let's go outside the mansion to meet you." Waving lightly at the door of the door, Liu Wuchen took a big step out of the living room and walked towards the mansion in the front yard.
