The first-class concubine of the Song Dynasty

269 Kick Hall
"This is Prince Liu?" King Jin was puzzled.

"Make a lot of money." Liu Wei smiled, very treacherously, but it gave off a casual feeling.

Everyone looked at each other and didn't know what to say for a while, so they could only nod their heads in agreement with Liu Wei's request.

Meanwhile, the palace.

Zhao Kuangyin, who was reviewing the memorial in the imperial study room, felt a little stuffy, and when he heard Liu Wei sent someone to bring the wine, he immediately waved his hand: "Although the wine in the Liu Family Winery is delicious, but in this weather, I really don't want to drink. Drink hotter."

Holding the wine jar, the eunuch hesitated for a while, but finally said: "My lord, Concubine Liu is talking about wine to relieve the heat."

"Oh, to relieve the heat? I only know sour plum soup to relieve the heat, where is there wine to relieve the heat?" Even so, Zhao Kuangyin asked the eunuch to bring the wine.

Opening the wine jar, Zhao Kuangyin didn't smell the aroma of the wine. On the contrary, he saw the wine inside was foaming like urine.

"This is?"

"Prince Liu ordered you to freeze it in the cellar before serving it to the Holy Majesty. I wonder if the Holy Majesty would like a servant to pour you a cup?"

Looking at the color of the wine, Zhao Kuangyin really didn't have any desire, but he still nodded: "Pour a glass and have a taste."

The eunuch took out the cup and poured it for Zhao Kuangyin. Zhao Kuangyin took a sip first, stung his tongue a bit, but the taste was better than he imagined. After drinking the cup, the summer heat was gone, and he felt relaxed. Quite a lot.

"Good wine, pour me another glass!"

"Your Majesty, you still have to review the memorial, if you are drunk..."

"Drunk, why are you drunk, get down quickly."

The eunuch didn't dare to disobey his order, so he quickly poured another glass for Zhao Kuangyin. Zhao Kuangyin drank one glass after another like this, and finally nodded after drinking half of a jar of wine: "Good wine, good wine. After drinking, I feel that this summer It's not summer anymore..."

Hearing Zhao Kuangyin's praise, the eunuch felt very envious and wanted to have a taste. Seeing his expression, Zhao Kuangyin smiled: "How much did Madam Liu send?"

"A carriage!"

"You will be rewarded with the remaining half altar!"

The eunuch was delighted and felt that this made him happier than rewarding him with silver taels, but when he was happy, he suddenly thought of something, so he quickly knelt down and said, "My lord, this servant almost forgot, when Concubine Liu brought the wine, Tell the servants, if the Holy Majesty likes this wine, he will help publicize this wine, let everyone know that the Liu Family Winery has newly brewed a new wine, it is delicious to relieve the heat, and the emperor will also applaud it when he smells it..."

Zhao Kuangyin was taken aback for a moment, not understanding what Liu Wei meant. With Liu Wei's talent and the name of the Liu family winery, he, the emperor, was used to help promote the new wine?

He felt that Liu Wei must be playing tricks again.

"What's the name of this wine?"

"Liu Concubine said it was called beer."

Zhao Kuangyin nodded slightly: "Okay, I understand, you can go down."

County Palace.

After Liu Wei came back from Prince Jin's mansion, he called Daniel over.

"Go to the market and buy some fat sheep."

Daniel didn't ask any more questions, and went out after saying oh. For him, he would do whatever Liu Weirang did, because Liu Weirang's words were never wrong.

After Daniel left, Princess Ruyi was a little curious: "My son-in-law, why did you ask Daniel to buy fat sheep?"

"Eat!"

"Eat?" Princess Ruyi was a little puzzled. All along, she didn't think her son-in-law was a glutton, but why did she suddenly ask Daniel to buy a few fat sheep?
The price of sheep is not cheap.

"Okay, princess, don't be curious. The day after tomorrow, I will invite friends to my house for dinner. Fat sheep is an indispensable delicacy."

"Invite friends to dinner the day after tomorrow?" Princess Ruyi was even more puzzled. If she was just inviting friends to dinner, why bother staying at home? Wouldn't it be more convenient to go to an inn or restaurant outside?Now that the weather is so hot, there are not many cooks at home.

Liu Wei nodded: "I have invited quite a few friends, Ruyi County mainly has friends, so why not invite them too."

"I'm very familiar with Sister Feng."

Liu Wei snorted, then smiled and said, "I've already told her that she will come with Jin Wang Su and the others." After saying this, Zhugepi ran from outside, followed by a few Hours, carrying some charcoal and iron rods.

"My lord, you have prepared all the things you asked your subordinates to prepare."

Liu Wei nodded with a smile, and then ordered: "Put these iron rods on a shelf, and then go get some thin skewers..." Liu Wei ordered like this, and finally asked: "I bought all the seasonings I want you to buy. No?"

"The fennel that adults want is only available in Tubo and Huihe, and it is difficult to buy in the capital..."

"So you didn't buy it?"

Zhugepi smiled: "I couldn't buy them at first, but there happened to be a shop that had these things, and my subordinates bought them all back. It's just that what do you want this for? I heard people say that this thing can slow down the decay of food. Speed, did your lord buy it because he thought summer food was not easy to store?"

Liu Wei smiled and shook his head: "Wrong, this is for eating. Remember, as long as there are people in the capital who buy this thing, buy it all for me. This is a good thing. It's good to stock up."

Hearing Liu Wei said that he wanted to eat that thing, both Zhuge Pi and Princess Ruyi showed expressions of disbelief.
-
Just when Liu Wei was looking for someone to help promote the beer, while preparing for the party the day after tomorrow.

However, Luoshu Chess Academy in the capital is suffering from a disaster.

After the founding of the Song Dynasty, academies became popular, but the chess academy was not very popular. However, a few years ago, Zhao Kuangyin had a sudden whim and searched all over the country for Go masters. Go flourished unprecedentedly in Song Dynasty.

For a while, the Chinese Chess Institute in Bianjing City rose, and the major chess schools even competed with each other. In just a few years, playing chess has become a leisurely thing for many people in the capital.

The prosperity of Go has made the chess academy shine. Every year, many students are attacked, and if one or two of these students can play a national player, it will be a great honor for the chess academy.

And in the entire capital city, there are three major chess institutes, these three major chess institutes are evenly divided, and the Luoshu chess institute is one of them.

The Luoshu Chess Academy has two national players, both of whom are masters, but this afternoon, a young man in white clothes came to the Luoshu Chess Academy. square.

Playing Go is different from reading and writing words. The ancients said that there is no first place in literature, so it is really difficult to judge whether reading is good or bad, but playing Go is different. No matter what kind of game you are playing, you will eventually win or lose.

So to open a chess academy, one must be mentally prepared, because someone may come to the chess hall at any time.

For those who come to the chess hall, no chess academy will reject them. After the rejection, how can they open a chess academy? Who will come to learn if the news spreads?

But it was the first time for Luoshu Chess Academy to meet someone who was going to challenge the national players from the very beginning.

Cui Shi is a burly man, it's hard to imagine that he is a master of Go, when he sees someone coming to challenge himself and Mei Dingfang, he throws the sunspots in his hands, and said: "What a big tone, challenge the two of us as soon as we come up, I really don’t know how high the sky is and the earth is thick, the entire Bianjing city, even the national players in the Hetu Chess Academy and the Black and White Chess Academy would not dare to speak so loudly.”

Hetu Chess Academy and Black and White Chess Academy are the other two major chess academy in the capital, and their strength is very extraordinary.

Mei Dingfang is a slightly thinner person with a calm expression, as if nothing in this world can excite him.

He dropped the white piece on the chessboard, and then smiled slightly: "Brother Cui, your temper is too hot, so it is easy to be impulsive when fighting on the chessboard like this. Look, you are now at an impasse." Mei Dingfang said Pointing to the chess game.

Cui Shi was a little angry: "Brother Mei, at what time are you still concerned about the chess game, someone is going to kick the game."

"Let him kick it, Baishui Yishui stopped him for us."

Hearing Mei Dingfang's words, Cui Shi finally put it down. Bai Shuiyi is a disciple trained by the two of them. His chess skill is second only to them in Luoshu chess.

"It's okay, it's okay, let Xiaobai get rid of him first, I don't bother to get angry with such an arrogant person..."

While the two were talking, a chess player hurried over, sweating profusely: "No...it's not good, it's not good..."

Cui Shi frowned, a little angry: "What's wrong, can't you be more prudent?"

Mei Dingfang sat aside and smiled, he felt that Cui Shi was even more unstable than that chess boy.

Qitong was taken aback for a moment, a little frightened, but he still said hastily: "Master, senior brother was defeated by the one who came to kick the gym..."

"What?" Cui Shi felt a little unbelievable, Bai Shuiyi was defeated before the time for burning incense?If I play against Bai Shuiyi, it will take two sticks of incense to defeat him.

"How many hands did they lay down?"

"five……"

"How many?"

"53 moves."

This time, even Mei Dingfang was a little restless.

"That person beat Xiaobai in 53 moves?"

"Yes!"

Cui Shi fixed his eyebrows, and after a long time he snorted coldly: "It seems that I have met a master, let's go, I will meet him."

Cui Shi walked towards the front yard as he spoke, Mei Dingfang sighed softly, waved his robe, and followed.

When the two came to the front yard, they saw Bai Shuiyi with a face of shame, and others surrounded a young man in white clothes. After they saw Cui Shi and Mei Dingfang, they quickly saluted and called Master.

Cui Shi glared at the boy in white: "Is that why you want to come to kick the gym?"

The young man in white gave a shallow smile, and there seemed to be thousands of magical powers in that smile.

"That's right, I'm here. You must be Cui Shi, one of the two great masters of Luoshu Chess Academy?"

Speaking of this, the boy in white didn't wait for Cui Shi to answer, he pointed to Mei Dingfang next to him and said, "Are you Mei Dingfang?"

"Since both of you are here, let's start, you come together."
