Red Mansion: Bastards rule the roost

Chapter 128 Dinghai God Needle
  Xue Pan was sitting in the elegant room facing the window on the third floor of the Banished Immortal Building, smiling as he watched the Immortal Drunken Drinking Competition on the high platform in the open space downstairs. This was an event jointly organized by the Immortal Winery and the major restaurants in Shenjing City. The participants were in bloom. For 20 taels of silver, if you drink three large bowls of immortal drunkenness at one go, and after burning a stick of incense, do not fall asleep or vomit, and can still walk in a straight line, you will be rewarded with a thousand pieces of gold.

There were countless people who drank heavily all morning and wanted to win the thousand-dollar lottery. Most of them couldn't even finish three bowls of wine, so they staggered around drunk and vomited until the sky was dark. The audience laughed.

Xue Pan secretly laughed at the idiot. These three large bowls of wine weighed five kilograms, and even the cattle were overturned, let alone the people. Selling wine in disguise, coupled with advertising methods, made the reputation of Shenxian Zui even greater. I don’t know how long Brother Cong’s brain is, but he can come up with such a good idea. In one morning, you can earn thousands of dollars just from the Banished Immortal Restaurant.

"Uncle, my wife ordered you to go back immediately." Xue Pan was looking at it with enthusiasm, when suddenly a servant came to deliver a message.

"What's the matter?" Xue Pan asked impatiently.

"My wife didn't say anything. She told you to go back immediately no matter what you do. It's probably something important."

Although Xue Pan was naughty but filial, he didn't care about watching the fun and got up and went back.

As soon as Xue Pan stepped in, he was overwhelmed by all the luxurious imperial clothes in the hall. His heart trembled, he walked in tremblingly, kowtowed and said: "Greetings to the old lady, madam. I wonder what the madam has ordered when she calls the children back."

Aunt Xue said: "These are the old ladies and ladies from the six princes' mansions. Why don't you kowtow in greetings?"

"Oh." Xue Pan didn't get up. He knelt on the ground and twisted around, kowtowing and saying hello everywhere. With his fat figure, he looked like a bastard crawling all over the floor.

Wang Xifeng, Li Wan, Sanchun and others who were waiting on the side couldn't help but cover their mouths and chuckle. Baochai glared at his brother with hatred and lowered his head, not bothering to look at his stupidity.

"Hey, brother, get up quickly, why do you need to do such a big gift?" Everyone hurriedly called him up.

Xue Pan stood up as he was told and stood aside, waiting to be asked.

Jia Mu said, "Brother Pan, I heard that you, Brother Cong, and Uncle Chen Guo opened a winery. Is the business doing well?"

This question just tickled Xue Pan, and he smiled and said: "Old lady, it's not passable. Well, it's quite passable."

This fool, Jia Mu shook her head secretly and asked: "I don't know much about this matter, please tell me."

"Oh. To answer the old lady's question, here's the thing. Brother Cong has a recipe that can brew extremely strong wine. The only one in the world. He thinks highly of it and invites me and Chen Guojiu to open a wine shop together. The shop is called Fairy Wine Shop.

Now there are two new wines, Peach Blossom Drunk and Immortal Drunk, which are the names given by Your Majesty and the Queen. "Xue Pan said honestly.

Only then did Jia Mu realize what was going on. She looked at everyone and said with a smile: "I am old and oblivious. I only know about such a big thing today. Ladies and gentlemen, what do you have to ask? Just ask."

Mrs. Zhenguo smiled and said: "Old lady, Mrs. Xue, Brother Pan, our families now have a large population, high expenses, and low income. We see that we can no longer support it. Now that we have the good path of Shenxian Liquor House, For the sake of being of the same lineage as the founding of the country, can you take us along for a walk? If you can help me, I will be grateful." All the emperors hurriedly agreed and begged.

Jia's mother was so sophisticated that she didn't speak for a while. Aunt Xue saw that she could sell a big favor to the six princes with just her mouth. She hurriedly said: "It's just a trivial matter, it's not worth mentioning. You old ladies and madams are so polite, we are all the founders of the country." Pulses should take care of each other."

"Mrs. Xue understands righteousness and is generous and generous. She has solved our urgent needs. If something happens in the future and we need my help, it doesn't matter." All the emperors hurriedly held it. Aunt Xue was busy being humble and happy from ear to ear. She never dreamed of having such a glorious day.

Baochai looked on anxiously, but did not dare to interrupt. He only whispered to Xue Pan: "Brother, do you think this is our family's business?"

Xue Pan reacted immediately and said hurriedly: "All you old ladies and madams, Rong Zhen, are originally from the founding family. We should make money together and make money together. But this wine shop is not the business of the Xue family. We Agree is just a family statement and cannot be done.

To be honest, the current rules of the wine shop are set by Brother Cong. He sells whatever he says. Therefore, we still need to ask Brother Cong and Uncle Chen Guo about their intentions before we can decide this matter. Naturally, our Xue family has no objection. "

Aunt Xue also reacted. Thinking of Jia Cong's lonely temperament, the Xue family was lucky enough to start this business because of his support. If she took advantage of his absence and made him his boss, it would be strange if he didn't make a big fuss when he came back. , even for the sake of the precious girl, I'm afraid I will be embarrassed.

He said hurriedly: "Brother Pan is right. Everyone is willing to do this business. Our Xue family fully supports it. However, Brother Cong and Uncle Chen Guo still need to discuss it."

Baochai breathed a sigh of relief and glared at Xue Pan. Today, his brother finally had an idea.

Mrs. Zhenguo smiled and said: "Thank you Mrs. Xue for your kindness. Now that the old lady is here, she can naturally be the boss of Brother Cong. If two of the three families agree, Uncle Chen Guo will naturally not be able to displease everyone."

After all, Jia Mu is a human spirit and has a plan in mind. How could she speak so easily like Aunt Xue? She smiled and said: "I am an old fool. I have never known anything about this business. Brother Cong also knows it even if he thinks about it." I was impatient with these things, so I didn't tell me for fear of annoying me.

Now Brother Cong is in Yangzhou to attend to his uncle's illness again, and he has received a letter from his former son, Ruhai, saying that he is getting well, and he expects that Brother Cong will be back soon. I'll ask you all to come over and talk about it then. How about that? "

Let’s not talk about whether Brother Cong, a lawless bastard, will let him make the decision. This wine shop involves Chen Guojiu, which also involves the interests of the Queen. He bypasses the uncle and makes his own decisions and invites the six major princes’ offices to come in and divide the money. In terms of profit, it's okay to make less money, but it's the queen who is offended.

How will the Jia family bear the consequences? Will the eldest girl in the palace still be alive? At these joints, Jia Mu felt like she had a mirror in her mind.

Mrs. Zhenguo and others knew that Mrs. Jia was not as easy to fool as Aunt Xue, so she could only nod and said: "It's hard for the old lady to think carefully, so I'll come to visit another day."

"What's the hurry? I finally had some food." Jia Mu said with a smile.

Everyone hurriedly said: "No, it's already rude to come to the door today. How dare you bother me again?"

After saying this, everyone left one after another, and Jia Mu hurriedly ordered Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Xing, Wang Xifeng and other good students to send them out. She looked back at Aunt Xue, feeling a little unhappy. After all, she was a businessman, and she had no right to do anything for profit. She didn't even open her mouth yet, but she immediately agreed. I can't even be the master of Brother Cong, but she was rude.

Baochai was bright-eyed and couldn't see what Jia Mu meant. She hurriedly smiled and said: "Mom, after all, I have never seen such a big battle. If the old lady hadn't been like a magic needle in the sea today, our family would have made a fool of herself. Thinking of such a big battle, It’s not up to us to decide what’s going on.”

Aunt Xue also came back to her senses, and said with a smile: "I was quick to speak out today, so I'll forgive you, old lady. I panicked when I saw so many ladies of the country and the imperial wives. It was the old lady who had gone through the storm and the waves. Having seen the big world, we, the younger generation, don’t panic when things happen. Otherwise, things won’t end well today.”

Jia Mu secretly praised Baochai for being smart, and she felt more at ease. She smiled and said, "It's just a few more years of food and more experience than you. It's nothing. I don't want to take care of these troublesome things. Let Brother Cong take care of them." Just worry about it.”
