Ask This Spring

Yu Man originally planned to go to the Huan's house to find Zhuo Lian, but he didn't expect to meet him here.

Seeing the woman approaching, his eyes lit up, and he realized that he had not seen him in just a day. Zhuo's face was still the same as if he had changed his person. The frivolity and greed that haunted him disappeared a lot, and his eyes were bright and energetic. , And no longer take the initiative to give or take a hug, is it intended to welcome or refuse?

Zhuo Lian's stomach was full of anger, and he asked, "My surname is Yu, why are you hurting me like this? Actually put arsenic in the medicine bag, if something happens to Huan Shen, how can I keep my life? ?"

Yu Man jumped with horror, and hurriedly turned his head to look around, for fear that someone would hear this and report him to the government.

"Lianniang, keep your voice down, if you spread it, how can I behave?"

Zhuo Lian sneered, "You know now that you are afraid? Why don't you think about the consequences when you do it?"

"I didn't want to hurt you, everything is arranged."

Although Yu Man didn’t intend to marry Zhuo Lian, he didn’t send him to prison. He explained in a good manner, “Didn’t you say that the second son of the Huan family is not pleasing to your eyes everywhere, and always It’s a cold talk, so I’m thinking about giving you a sigh. Yu’s family knows Yamen’s master and Wu Zuo. Even if Huan Shen died violently because of arsenic, they would close one eye, and they won’t bother you... "

Zhuo Lian didn't expect that there would be such a despicable and shameless person in the world, and he was immediately trembling with anger.

"Yu Man, even if Huan Shen is bad in a thousand ways, it's the family I've been with since I was a kid. You want to kill him, and you still say so high-sounding. What is the difference with the executioner?"

Yu Man couldn't help but stunned, he opened his mouth and whispered, "Didn't you curse so badly that you wanted him to die?"

"I was angry. How could there be no rubbing when a family lives under the same roof? There are still fights between teeth and tongue. It's unreasonable for you! You won't come to me again in the future!" She grinned angrily.

After all, Zhuo Lian didn't even sweep the startled young man, and quickly walked towards the direction of the wine shop. And Yu Mansheng was in the rich and honourable township and was held up by others since he was a child. How could he have suffered such grievances? Being scolded by a watery woman pointing his nose to his nose, he felt extremely embarrassed and stopped chasing Zhuo Lian and flung his sleeves away.

Zhuo Lian walked forward with a cold face, but secretly let out a long sigh of relief. Yu Man is not a good thing at all. Taking this opportunity to draw a clear line with this person can also get rid of a big trouble, so as not to have trouble in the future.

She was stopped by a middle-aged woman as soon as she walked to the door of the Huanjia Restaurant.

"Lianniang, wait a moment, Aunt Lin has something to tell you."

Zhuo Lian searched for the memory of the original body, and also remembered the identity of this woman. After the decline of the Huan family, they moved to a brick house on West Street. The neighbor was a family named Lin. The couple had only one daughter named Lin Qiongniang. I heard that she was both filial and virtuous, and had a gentle temperament. Body than into the dust.

"Aunt Lin, are you doing anything to come to the wine shop?"

In the storybook, Huan Shen is just a very brilliant supporting role. Ms. Li didn't describe the Huan family too much, but only roughly explained the fate of the Huan family. What happened during the period, Zhuo Lian is not clear.

Aunt Lin grabbed Zhuo Lian's hand and patted it twice, showing a bit of intimacy, and said, "Your mother-in-law has been struggling with this wine shop all day, and she has spent most of her life now. Shen has become a guardian, and it will not be difficult to say that in the future, why bother so hard, is it not good to enjoy the good fortune?"

Zhuo Lian caught a glimpse of his red skin, frowned slightly, and pulled his hand back without a trace.

"Aunt Yilin means that I don't want my mother to work in the wine shop anymore?"

Aunt Lin’s eyes flickered, and she patiently explained the reason, “Someone wants to buy your wine shop. This dilapidated store can’t make much money every year, so it’s better to sell it directly. It can also allow your mother-in-law to take a break, not to mention that they have given a lot of money, a full two hundred taels. If you are frugal, you can spend several years..."

Aunt Lin spoke dryly, but Zhuo Lian did not waver. She also hoped to promote the wine shop to change the dilemma of the Huan family. How could she agree to this?

Pursing her lips, she said, "I know you are for the good of my mother, but the Huan family has no other livelihoods besides the wine shop. You can't live by just relying on my uncle. I will come to wine recently. In the workshop, I will help my mother to beat her, and never let her be too tired. I also ask Aunt Lin to rest assured."

Staring at Zhuo Lian steadily, Aunt Lin never expected that she would say such a thing. In the past, Zhuo was the most greedy for money and profit. He also disliked the dilapidated and poorly managed wineries, and heard that they could sell. Two hundred taels of silver, according to her temperament, she will definitely accept it in a hurry. Today is the sun coming out from the west?

"Lianniang, no matter how good you are, think about it. We have been neighbors for so many years. Aunt Lin will not harm you. If you are not satisfied with the price, just discuss with the buyer."

For fear that Zhuo Lian would refuse again, Aunt Lin didn't give her a chance to speak, and left as if to escape.

Zhuo Lian was only a little skeptical at first, but now she has determined that the reason why Aunt Lin appeared in the Huanjia Restaurant was absolutely instigated, but who instigated it and why she did it, she couldn't figure out why she wanted to break her head. .

Thinking all the way up the steps, as soon as he stepped over the threshold, a strong scent of alcohol was blowing in front of the wind, making Zhuo Yan's lips tight, and Xing's eyes revealed a bit of disgust.

Most of the turbid liquor in the Zhou Dynasty was used to make such turbid mash, with few koji, rough materials and short fermentation period. Various reasons led to the muddy color, sweet taste and low alcohol content of the turbid mash. Ordinary people often drink rice wine, but they will not dislike it, but people of a little bit of identity are not satisfied with this type of wine. Instead, they seek more clear and transparent sake with a greener overall. They also took many elegant names, such as bamboo leaves green. some type of.

Zhuo Lian walked closer and saw an ordinary-looking man standing on the edge of the stove to fry wheat. This man should have good cooking skills. He kept turning the spatula to make the wheat ripe but not burnt, and the color became more and more intense. Force out bursts of wheat aroma.

The man is Uncle Fu. At this moment, he is making music and must not be disturbed, otherwise the scorching of the wheat will also affect the quality of the koji.

Zhuo Lian has been brewing wine for nearly 20 years, at a glance, you can see the problem of Huanjia Winery-the method of making koji is too simple, only inferior koji ingredients can be made, and the formula is not particular. It's weird that you can make sake in this way.

Seeing that her daughter-in-law was coming, Huan's mother hurriedly drew people to her and said in a low voice, "Don't disturb your uncle Fu, first come and help your mother."

Thinking of the woman he had just met, Zhuo Lian couldn't help asking, "Mother, Aunt Lin said that someone wants to buy a wine shop and is willing to take out two hundred taels of silver. Is that true?"

Huanmu looked unnatural, she nodded slightly, "It is true."

The whole thing was weird, Zhuo Lian had to ask, otherwise, if Huanmu sold the wine shop, it would be even more difficult to make wine in the future.

Pulling Huanmu and sitting on the wooden chair, her expression was serious, her slightly plump body tightened, and she continued to ask, "Don't hide from me, who is the buyer?"

"Zhuo Family." Huanmu gritted her teeth and finally told the truth.

Zhuo Lian's face changed in an instant. If Huan Shen could only say that it was a miserable supporting actor in the storybook, the Zhuo family was completely the opposite. Their luck was excellent because they were the heroine’s distant relatives, and they had a good brewing skills. , Was eventually named the emperor merchant, the scenery is boundless, it is enviable.

On the contrary, the Huan family ended up ruined. Even Huan Shen, who is the king of the town, was not spared. After he vomited blood and died, his body was fed to wild dogs, not even the whole body was left.

Knowing the ending in advance, how could Zhuo Lian agree to transfer the wine shop out?

"Mother, our shop can't sell it. Although my uncle is a guard, he will go to the capital after a while. The cost of food and clothing is not a small amount. Two hundred taels of silver seems to be a lot. Waiting in the capital. But there is no sound in the bustling place. It must be a long time to earn money so that the days can pass the better." Zhuo Lian stuck out the tip of her tongue and licked her dry lips. Her heart was extremely nervous. She was afraid that Huanmu would be excited, so she should agree. This matter.

Huanmu couldn't help sighing, "Let me think about it again."

After leaving the wine shop, Aunt Lin did not return to West Street directly. Instead, she went to the most prosperous area in Bianzhou City and entered a restaurant. This restaurant is also the property of Zhuo's family, which sells a variety of fine wines, and there are many delicacies accompanied by wine, which attracts many customers.

This was not the moment Aunt Lin came back, but she still felt awkward, standing in the middle of the lobby, looking around.

After a while, a buddy stepped forward, took the person to the private room, and urged, "Miss is inside, you can go in."

Aunt Lin nodded blankly, opened the door and walked in. At a glance, she saw the woman in green sitting by the window. She was about fifteen or sixteen years old. At this moment, she squeezed her chin with her hand and her eyes fell on the bustling street downstairs. From this angle, you can see Jiao's beautiful profile face, with a delicate outline, although it has not been greased, it has a hint of indescribable elegance.

Hearing the movement, the woman tilted her head slightly, looking at the middle-aged woman with a pair of bright peach eyes, and asked casually, "Is things done?"

Aunt Lin said embarrassingly, "Zhuo Lian didn't agree."

Zhuo Yujin was surprised. She prided herself on knowing this half-sister very well. She knew that this woman had shallow eyelids and could do anything for the sake of silver. Now it is just a dilapidated wine shop. Two hundred taels are already a lot, why would Zhuo Lian refuse?

"What did she say?"

"At that time, the concubine spoke clearly, but Zhuo Lian was bitten to death and refused to agree. You might as well add a little bit, and she will definitely be tempted by that time." Aunt Lin promised.

Caressing the smooth window frame, Zhuo Yujin slightly folded her eyebrows without opening her mouth. The reason she wanted to get the Huanjia Restaurant was because there was a well in the backyard.
