Chapter 200 Warning
Today I went back to my grandfather's house for a day. My brother will not take the imperial examination for the time being and will take time to study ordinary affairs, which greatly relieves Zilan's work pressure and gives her a lot of time to play.
Today, she specially brought the old Monkey Wine to honor her grandfather and his family. She gave her a jar of elders such as the second and third grandfathers. She received strong praise from them, but it was much better than what they brewed by themselves.
"Grandma, I brought you good things."
After entering the yard, Zilan started shouting.
"My good granddaughter is here, what delicious food did you bring to us?"
The old lady came out of the warm room.
"Grandma, I brought my own Monkey wine. It's been a lot of time. This is the best bucket. I'll bring some for you to try."
"Is that true? Then your grandfather is so happy."
The old lady raised her head and smiled.
"Sister, I brought wine to you both. This one is not easy to get drunk, and it's OK for girls to drink it."
Zilan brought the wine brewed by himself in the space, which tasted much better than carefully brewed outside, and it also had a good health effect.
"Really, it's better for my sister. I'm just thinking about drinking yours."
Zhao Xuan'er laughed loudly.
Their sisters have changed a lot in the past two years. After thinking, Zhao Xuan'er calmed down and studied her skills seriously, and learned to settle accounts and manage finances with Shuhui.
The Xu family gradually allocated the stewardship of the Marquis' Mansion to their sisters for training. After more than three years, it has been very effective. Now the two of them manage the shops and farms themselves and take the stewards away, and they can stand alone.
"You're thinking about delicious food."
Zi Lan snorted.
"Oh! I'm so stingy. I harvested some flower seeds from the south. I had never seen them before. I said they were sent from the sea. I thought you might be interested and kept them for you. But I can't say I don't care about you."
Zhao Xuan'er pulled her arm and shook it with a smile.
"Well, this is almost the same, let's have another purse."
Zi Lan proudly raised her head and stretched out a finger to increase the price.
"Okay, I'll give you one, lazy girl."
Zhao Xuan'er rolled her eyes in anger. Her aunt and uncle went to Jiangnan. The girl didn't easily move needles and threads. She would rather give other gifts to her elders than do it.
Zi Lan shook her head embarrassedly, "I don't have good skills, why should I take it out and show my eyes? Isn't the person who bid farewell sincere?"
The slander pouted in aggrieved manner.
"No, my granddaughter is the most filial."
The old lady immediately smiled and said to coax her.
"That's right, I'm very filial. My grandfather and others said it was OK to drink this monkey wine. You and grandpa and others also taste it. I promise you like it. I specially brought you two jars, which are good for you to give gifts or use at home."
"I don't need to give it to anyone for now. I keep it for myself and I can't bear to give it to someone."
The last time I gave the Queen Mother's birthday gift, she got the first place in the wine, and saved thousands of taels of silver. The old lady was very happy.
Just as he was talking, Mr. Yang came back from the palace, with a smile on his face.
"Grandpa, what good thing, you got? You're so happy."
Zilan ran up and helped him sit down, laughed and joined in the fun.
"It's happier than a good person. Your father got the emperor's praise again in court. It's certain that he will be promoted when he comes back."
Mr. Yang's face was bright, so he was so happy.
"Really, it's great."
"Hey, why are you here to get promoted? Isn't it good to be promoted now?"
Zhao Xuan'er asked inexplicably.
"You don't understand. The fourth-rank official wants to be a talent show. I'm trying to prevent the promotion from happening now. Once you enter the palace, there will be too many unexpected surprises. With your uncle's position, your sister will have to be a small one even if she enters the backyard of the royal descendants. How can that be done?"
"Ah, I don't know what to say. So don't you choose to get promoted?"
Zhao Xuan'er really didn't know the joints here, and she was shocked when she heard this. In the palace, that's not a place that ordinary people can go to.
"Well, you don't need to have a talent show after you get older. Most people who don't want to enter the palace to have wealth will use this trick, either get sick or be exempted from the talent show, and the emperor just turns a blind eye if he doesn't love women."
Mr. Yang explained with a smile.
"That's good. How can my sister be so outstanding? How can she be a young man? Would you rather be a poor wife than a rich concubine?"
Zhao Xuan'er smiled relievedly, and even with her own conditions, she never thought about being a young man, let alone Song Zilan, it was impossible.
"Isn't that the saying? The wealth in the palace is full of blood."
The old lady sighed leisurely, she had seen too much.
Zhao Xuan'er dared not speak anymore, but she and Zilan were in good shape, so she naturally hoped that she would be happy and fulfilled. Being a little too terrible.
"Then, this won't cause you any trouble."
Zi Lan said with a frown.
"How could it be? No big deal. If it really doesn't work, I'll say it, just say that you are weak and you are exempted from election. It's just to ask the emperor for a favor, it's not a problem. I'll say that the emperor is happy, it's better to have a request than not."
This is also the experience of being an official and the tacit understanding between Mr. Yang and the emperor. If you have no desires, you will be strong. The emperor does not need such a strong and unobstructed minister. That is terrible.
On the contrary, there are requirements but not excessive. The emperor likes it. It is like the servants in the family. Some love money, some like stability, and some are honest, so that they can control it. They don’t want anything and don’t need you.
"So that's it, then I'll feel relieved."
At noon and lunch, Zilan took the initiative to open a jar of Monkey Wine. This was brewed in the space for a long time. The wine has been sticky and sweet in the mouth. It is warm and comfortable along the throat. It is warm and warm, and the lower abdomen is warm until the whole body is very comfortable and warm.
After drinking a glass of wine, everyone praised it without stopping, "What a good wine, Lan'er is amazing, this is better than the ones in our restaurant."
The Monkey Wine is also sold in Xianglou. The price is extremely high. The wine pot with only two taels of liang has no other portion. One pot of wine costs five taels of silver, and it is sold in a fixed quantity every month, and it is snatched by the powerful early on.
But who made Zilan's space brewing time different? In fact, this Houer Wine has been around for almost a hundred years. Judging from the quality of the wine, it is definitely enough time.
"Hehe, I don't sell wine, so the brewing time is enough. I won't tell you anymore. The wine cellar is divided into three years outside. I have a long time."
This is also why wine needs to be stored in the wine cellar. The wine will have qualitative changes, eliminating the fire and spicy taste and becoming soft and mellow. This is a gift of time.
"What a wine, why don't you give this to the emperor as a birthday gift next year?"
Yang Dong spoke happily, but it was actually just a casual statement.
"No, don't make this idea. I'm giving wine because the Song family has already made it. Only Lan'er can make this wine. Are you going to cause trouble for her? This wine is not taken out, nor does it give gifts. Let me know who caused disaster to Lan'er, and I will beat you to death."
Mr. Yang suddenly changed his face and knocked the wine glass heavily on the table, warning the whole family.
"Yes, I was confused for a while and didn't think about it carefully. My father was right. If people find out that Lan'er's goodness is really easy to make people think about it, it will be really troublesome at that time."
Yang Dong woke up and apologized immediately.
