The first-class concubine of the Song Dynasty

Chapter 3 The Lady of the Qin Family
The rain in midsummer is fierce, and the wind is blowing, sweeping away the sweltering heat of the past few days.

Princess Ruyi Zhao Ying half leaned on the bamboo mat to read a book, her graceful figure was so graceful, and the wind would blow her sleeves up from time to time, making her even more charming.

The doors and windows were slapped by the wind, Zhao Ying called softly, and the green clothes waiting outside hurried over.

"What is the princess' order?"

"It's windy, close the windows!"

Lvyi promised again and again, and ran to close the window. After the window was closed, the room was a little dark, and the book could not be read. Zhao Ying put the book down, looked at Lvyi and asked, "Is there still a son-in-law in the past few days?" To drink?"

"No, the son-in-law has been staying at the mansion for the past few days, and only said to go to the Liu Family Winery this afternoon."

Zhao Ying was a little surprised, and said: "What are you going to do at the Liu Family Winery? Isn't it already deserted?"

"The slaves don't know about it either, and the son-in-law didn't mention it."

Princess Ruyi frowned slightly, thought for a while, and then asked: "What does the son-in-law do at the mansion these days?"

"A few days ago, after the son-in-law recovered from his injury, he was a little bored, so he ordered his servants to find some books for him to read."

Princess Ruyi smiled contemptuously after hearing this: "He is a businessman, what books are he reading?"

Hearing what Princess Ruyi said, Lu Yi was slightly stunned for a moment, but still wanted to say something nice for the son-in-law, so he quickly explained: "The son-in-law asked the servants to find a few collections of Tang poetry and poetry, and the son-in-law read them. When it's time, be serious..."

Lvyi wanted to say something more, but Princess Ruyi didn't really want to listen any more, she covered her mouth with her hand and yawned, and said, "Go down now, the county chief is resting!"

Lvyi didn't dare to disobey, and retreated out repeatedly.

The heavy rain poured down, Liu Wei was dragged to the living room by Liu Quan, the clothes of both of them were a bit wet, Liu Quan was afraid that Liu Wei would catch a cold, so he hurriedly said: "Master, I will do a little work here, and this old servant will find you some clean clothes. "

Liu Wei grabbed Liu Quan and said, "Uncle Liu, don't bother, I have to leave after I've finished reading here!"

"Leave?" Uncle Liu looked a little flustered: "Didn't the young master say that he wanted to revive the Liu family winery?"

Seeing Liu Quan like this, Liu Wei thought he had misunderstood, so he quickly explained: "The Liu family winery is going to reopen, but not now. Uncle Liu has been with my father for some years, so he should know that business is not easy. Before you are ready, you can’t do it casually.”

Liu Quan was also in a moment of anxiety just now, thinking that Liu Wei just glanced at it and left, what he said just now was all perfunctory, after listening to it like this, he felt at ease: "The young master is thoughtful, but the old slave is a little anxious, I don't know if the young master has something to say. What does the old slave need to do?"

Liu Wei thought for a while, and said, "Clean those wine-making tools again. I'll start working when I'm ready in a few days." Clearly, relying on the brewing technology of this era, the fermentation time is very long, and I don’t know how long it will take to open.

However, if it is slightly improved, the brewing time can be shortened, and the purity of the wine can be improved. The wine in this era is like yellow soup, and it tastes less like refugees, but if the purity of the wine is improved, it will be different .

Naturally, Liu Wei would not tell Liu Quan about these things, so after sitting in the Liu Family Winery for a while, he found an umbrella from Liu Quan and left the Liu Family Winery.

The wind and rain were turbulent, there were not many pedestrians on the street, the rain was falling like a curtain, blocking Liu Wei's vision, but Liu Wei was still walking on the street facing the wind and rain.

He is going somewhere.

Now, he has seen the Liu Family Winery, and he has an idea of ​​what preparations need to be made for the opening, so the next thing he has to do is to find out the person who wants to assassinate him.

After thinking about it for the past few days, Liu Wei felt that the people in the Qin's Restaurant should have some clues about her being beaten. Maybe it was Liu Wei who had a conflict with the people in the restaurant that night. In order to get revenge, that person harmed her.

Because of the heavy rain, the business of Qin's Restaurant was rather cold. When Liu Wei entered, there was no customer inside, only a bartender was wiping the table boredly, and a woman bowed her head and fiddled with the abacus at the counter.

The sound of the abacus is mixed with the sound of wind and rain outside, quite rhythmic.

When the bartender saw a guest coming, he rushed up to greet him, but when he saw that it was Liu Wei, he was taken aback for a moment: "Liu...Liu son-in-law, why are you here?"

Liu Wei didn't expect the bartender here to know him, maybe he used to come here often.

"It's okay, let's drink, is your boss there?"

After Liu Wei finished speaking, the woman who kept fiddling with the abacus suddenly raised her head. When she raised her head, Liu Wei realized that she turned out to be a pretty woman, with willow-leaf eyebrows and a melon-seeded face, with a slightly cold expression, but It also makes people feel gorgeous, and her bright eyes are slightly opened, as if they have the power to take people's souls.

The woman also seemed a little surprised, walked over from the counter, bowed to Liu Wei, and said, "Does Prince Liu want to drink?"

The woman's tone was calm, without any emotion, but Liu Wei still found something strange from her expression, Liu Wei felt that she must know something.

Liu Wei nodded: "My son-in-law is coming to drink, but I have something to ask..."

At this time, Liu Wei realized that he didn't know the name of the woman in front of him at all.

"Minister Qin Yun!"

"My son-in-law has something to ask Boss Qin."

"Please tell me, my son-in-law!"

"A few days ago, my son-in-law drank here with Cao Jue and Pan Weide. Did anything happen at that time?"

Qin Yun's bright eyes opened slightly, he glanced at Liu Wei, and said, "Why does the son-in-law ask this question?"

"I can't remember some things, so I came here to ask."

Qin Yun shook his head: "Nothing happened. At that time, the three sons-in-law left one after another after drinking."

Liu Wei frowned slightly, but then smiled lightly: "Since that's the case, please ask Boss Qin to bring me a pot of wine."

"My son-in-law, wait a moment!"

After finishing speaking, Qin Yun went to the back and brought a small pot of wine and a plate of peanuts after a while.

"My son-in-law is not called peanuts?" Liu Wei didn't want to drink, so he was a little surprised at the peanuts Qin Yun brought out. Of course, the reason why he said that was because he found that his son-in-law was very tight. The money for drinking today must be credited first, not to mention the extra peanuts.

Qin Yun didn't take it seriously, and said with a slight smile: "My son-in-law took care of the business of our Qin's restaurant before. This is a free gift from the little girl as a token of her kindness. Please accept it, my son-in-law."

Seeing this, Liu Wei couldn't say anything else.

Just when Liu Wei ate some peanuts and drank a couple of sips of wine, he suddenly realized a problem, and when he realized this problem, he couldn't help but glance at Qin Yun, who was still in the Settle the bill, as if he didn't care about his arrival at all.

Liu Wei frowned, and after taking a few more sips of wine, he got up and said to Qin Yun, "My son-in-law was too hasty to go out today and forgot to bring money, so let's put the money on the account first."

Qin Yun smiled indifferently: "It's okay, it's a little girl who invites the son-in-law, so the son-in-law will go slowly."

Seeing Qin Yun like this, Liu Wei cupped his hands slightly, then picked up the umbrella that was left at the door, and rushed into the wind and rain outside again.

And just after Liu Wei rushed into the wind and rain, Liu Wei couldn't help muttering in a low voice: "Why did Qin Yun lie to me?"

When Liu Wei was in Qin's Restaurant, she discovered something suspicious, that is, she often came to Qin's Restaurant, so Qin Yun should know that he knew her name, but today when she saw that she was hesitating, she explained it , why did she explain?

There are two possibilities. One is that I often visit here, but I really don't know Qin Yun's name, but this possibility is a bit slim; the other is that Qin Yun knows that he has been beaten, and he is very confused about many things in the past. Can not remember.

But when I was beaten, not many people knew about it. How did a restaurant proprietress know about it?

Unless she really knows something, and she knows the secret but doesn't say it, what's the point?Liu Wei couldn't figure it out, but he couldn't ask, because he knew very well that even if he asked, Qin Yun wouldn't say anything.

After walking in the rain for a while, Liu Wei sighed, thinking that he should investigate this matter slowly.

And just after Liu Wei left the Qin's Restaurant, the bartender hurried to the counter: "Madam proprietress, that Concubine Liu really can't remember anything?"

Qin Yun put down the things in his hands, looked at the direction where Liu Wei had just left at the door, and sighed: "The incident that night was thanks to Concubine Liu, but... there are many things, but they can't be said."

The bartender seemed to understand Qin Yun's thoughts very well, and nodded repeatedly: "It's good that Madam Liu has forgotten everything, every time I come here in the past, I'm always drunk, but today I only drank a few glasses!" The bartender said, Glancing at the place where Liu Wei just sat, the pot of wine and the plate of peanuts were basically untouched.

Qin Yun only glanced at it, and then ordered: "Go and clean up the table, and don't mention anything about that night in the future."

The bartender understood and complied repeatedly.
-
Xia Yu is crazy and anxious.

When Liu Wei was walking on the street, his clothes were suddenly splashed by a carriage running from the opposite side. The carriage drove away, and soon disappeared in the wind and rain. Rubbing his sleeves, he felt that the man who drove the carriage had no sense of public morality, and he ran so fast in the rain.

But soon, Liu Wei suddenly felt that the carriage was very familiar, as if he had seen it there before.

But where did you see it?
