Fair Lady

Dazhou has a vast territory and a long history. It is a great country and a country of etiquette, so it naturally has the demeanor of a big country.Although the Turks were defeated countries who came to worship, the imperial court still received them with the etiquette of greeting distinguished guests from afar.The tough clauses in the peace agreement are one thing, but the courtesy between the host and the guest is another.

This time the welcome banquet did not have a savage princess who deliberately sabotaged like U Wen Rat, the process went smoothly and the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves.

The emperor looked at Yun Deqing, who was becoming more and more general-like, and several high-spirited young generals trained and promoted under his command. He was very satisfied, and said with emotion: "Back then, Yun Aiqing was so resolute in asking for 'merit for favor'. I thought that God sent me a loyal and reliable general. Sure enough, Yun Aiqing lived up to my expectations, and I was very relieved."

The emperor was so sensational and praised so much, how could Yun Deqing sit there peacefully?Quickly got up, went to the middle of the main hall and wanted to kneel down and give a big salute to reply, but was stopped by the emperor waved his hand: "This is a celebration banquet, not a court meeting, so you don't have to restrain yourself, your sister-in-law is never polite to me."

Jin Xida, who was innocently shot, was savoring the Jiangnan vinegar fish cooked by the new imperial chef, negotiating the terms of the peace for half a day, he was so tired!Who would have thought that the talk was over, and he, who had worked so hard, could not let him have a meal in peace.

Hearing the emperor's meaningful words, Jin Xida hurriedly put down his chopsticks angrily, but when he raised his head, he still had a look of fear and fear: "Your Majesty, I have always been the most respectful and respectful to the Emperor."

The emperor curled his lips: "Oh? Is that so? Didn't you unceremoniously occupy the 'First Altar of the Great Zhou' that Shuwen prepared for me?"

Everyone was stunned.Jin Xida is so bold that he dares to take what is given to the emperor?No, that's not the point, the point is what is wine?Wine made from grapes?Can grapes also be made into wine?

Jin Xida was also stunned, and then drooped his face, is there a mistake?That's all?Then there is no difference between the first altar and the second altar, right?As for being so stingy?It's no wonder that I "rectify" myself so much today. It turns out that the root cause is here.

Shujie tried his best not to spit out the tea he had just sipped.Haha, foster father is shooting himself in the foot.If you took it wrong, you took it wrong, the emperor and his old man don't know.However, after two glasses of wine, he became dizzy, so he didn't ask himself.

It turned out that when Shuwen read the brochure left by his mother Yunhuan, he was very interested in the description and method of the wine. He couldn't wait for the scientific research to do it again, so he decided to try brewing a vat first to see what it tasted like.

This first cylinder was brewed.The book was divided into six white porcelain wine jars, the first jar was naturally the emperor's, the second jar was Jin Xida, and the other four jars were going to be given to my grandfather, General Zhongyi, Prince Yong, Master Nangong, and Marquis Weiyuan. Good things are naturally the emperor and the elders who are involved first try something new, right?Also collect feedback back.

As a result, Jin Xida, who was excited when he saw food and wine, didn't see the mark on the lower table of the wine jar, thinking that they were all the same.I directly took the first altar in the front row to taste it, and Shujie and Shuwen also tasted a little bit.

If you take it wrong, you will take it wrong.In fact, they are all the same, they are all separated from the same vat, the so-called first altar is just a little different, but Jin Xida himself spoiled things by talking too much.

Yesterday Jin Xida sent another altar to the palace, the emperor happened to be in a happy mood (the surrender of the Turks made the emperor a lot easier), seeing this pleasing and fragrant new thing again, I was very excited.Take Jin Xida to drink together.Jin Xida drank two glasses of wine and was happy.He actually slipped his mouth and "confessed" that he had accidentally drunk the "First Altar of the Great Zhou Dynasty" that he had prepared for the emperor, and made the emperor "taste" his "satisfaction" and fell in love with it .No, "revenge" will be carried out today.

Shujie hurriedly rescued his adoptive father: "Reporting to the emperor, Wen'er said that this time is just a trial brewing, and there are many shortcomings. Let the emperor and a few elders try something new first. When the brewing is officially done, the first altar will be given immediately. sent by the emperor."

Only then did the emperor nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "Have you heard that, Jin boy? When Wen'er starts brewing wine, I will send someone to watch over it, so you won't have the chance to get it wrong again."

Jin Xida twitched straight, and then took the wrong one?Does he dare?What kind of "best friends", put on the emperor's airs for a small jar of wine, and deliberately revenge, hum.

After waiting for Shujie to briefly explain what happened to Yun Deqing, the civil and military ministers present and even the Turkic prince couldn't help but shrugged their noses and rolled their throats, how about some wine?

You know, the best wine in the Great Zhou was paid tribute to the palace, what good wine has the emperor not drunk?Plus Jin Xida, who is known as the golden tongue.The wine they can compete to drink, can it be good wine?

A drink-loving official couldn't help but asked Shujie: "Mr. Yongping, does Mr. Xia have any plans to make that wine and sell it?" Over the years, the two princes' mansions have produced good things, but The first batch just made are for New Year's gifts and the like, only for a few people who are close to each other, and others can't buy them even if they have money.

Shujie let out an "uh" and said, "Should be." Shuwen, a little money fan, would think of buying and selling any good thing, but thinking of big business, it would be strange that he would not do the wine business.When the first vat of wine came out, he fiddled with the price, profit, etc., his eyes lit up with joy, like a mouse falling into a rice vat.

Seeing that everyone seems to be very interested, the emperor waved his hand boldly, and said to Da Fuzi: "Go, take out the wine for the Turkic guests and all the lovers to taste, but there are so many people, the smallest one is the best." your cup will do.”

Everyone was taken aback for a moment, and their eyes all lit up in a flash. Is there such a beautiful thing?

Jin Xida thumped, and a bad premonition struck immediately.

Sure enough, after the father-in-law of Dafuzi went out to make arrangements in person, the emperor looked at him with a smile: "I have shared most of the jar of wine, so you are embarrassed to monopolize the jar, right? Do you want half of it to be given to me?"

Well, I'm still thinking about the "First Altar of the Great Zhou Dynasty", can Jin Xida say "no"?Touching his nose embarrassingly: "That jar should belong to the emperor. Since the emperor doesn't mind pouring out a few glasses, the minister will bring the wine tomorrow. There is still more than half of the jar."

The emperor laughed loudly: "Don't feel bad, don't you like the craftsmanship of this imperial chef from the south of the Yangtze River? Tell him to cook a few more special dishes in another day, and you can have a drink with me, don't say that I will take your wine drink."

During the joke, the court ladies came in with trays and distributed small glass wine glasses in front of everyone. They saw the red liquid in the glasses flickering under the soft candlelight, faintly, and their thoughts became intoxicated. , the ethereal and hazy beauty flooded into everyone's hearts, is this wine?

Picking up the wine glass, Xue Yongping Hou Ye shook it lightly, a faint fragrance floated in it, took a sip, the sweet and sour wine melted on the tip of the tongue, accompanied by a strong aroma of wine lingering in the sense of smell, straight to express bosom...

It took a long time to come back to their senses, and everyone sighed in satisfaction: This is immortal wine!Unfortunately, there are too few, this cup is too small!

However, the emperor is also such a small cup, who dares to complain?I can only hope that Erye Xia, who is both civil and military, can even make food and wine, will release this wine as soon as possible after his scientific examination. Someone even asked Shujie on the spot if he could make an order first, so as not to be missed in the queue.

The two Turkic princes were also very interested: "Yongping Marquis, can this wine also be sold to our Turkic royal family and merchants? Turkic merchants can sell it in more distant countries."

Taking advantage of the sound of the music, the emperor quietly winked at Jin Xida and said, "Tell that boy Shuwen that he owes me a favor."

"..." Looking at the emperor's wicked smile, Jin Xida suddenly felt that his poor family must have been tricked by this unscrupulous emperor.

The emperor was in a good mood, and asked about the family status of the young generals. Of course, the main thing was whether they were married. "Give marriage" is a common method used by the emperor to show his respect to his subordinates.

Concubine Yan and Ding Meier, who was sitting behind the emperor, suddenly became nervous. She hadn't found a chance to say a few words to Liu Haoqiang, and she hadn't encouraged the emperor yet. How did she get to this step so quickly?The key now is to listen first, has Liu Haoqiang already made a marriage arrangement? (To be continued.
