Ask This Spring

Huan Shen lowered his head, and he didn't know if the lights in the room dazzled his eyes, or some other reason. Looking at the light golden liquor, he was lost for a while. This kind of abnormality is rare in the past, but it happened. The woman in front of him disrupted the original pace again and again.

Zhuo Lian leaned forward and held the porcelain cup for a while, but the young man didn't mean to take over. She couldn't help feeling a little panicked, worried that Huan Shen was still suspicious about the things just now, and desperately wanted to escape from the box.

"Mother is still busy in the front hall, I will help her beat her hands." When she spoke, her eyes flashed slightly, and her voice was a little nervous.

Huan Shen frowned. He is also a man. He knows what men think better than anyone else. Zhuo’s skin looks very beautiful, especially the eyebrows are the best. If you have a husband to rely on, it’s okay. The eldest brother died early. She was only a widow, and she couldn't stop others from thinking about it.

"Mother sits behind the counter and settles accounts. It's a lot easier than before. Sister-in-law is inconvenient, so it's better to go to the front hall less." At this moment, he placed the plain cup in his palm, and there was a whitening on the back of his hand. The scars, which are probably old wounds, are different from the surrounding skin color and look particularly conspicuous.

Zhuo Lian didn't notice the hidden meaning in Huan Shen's words at first. When she picked up the bottle again, she suddenly realized that her beautiful apricot eyes became especially bright because of her anger, "What about the widow? Where is it? Is it in your eyes?"

"I'm thinking about you. Big brother is gone. As the only male in the Huan family, I should take care of all my family members. My sister-in-law is proficient in winemaking. It's wrong, neither yours nor the reputation of the Huan family can be ignored."

Huan Shen had a good amount of alcohol. Even if he had just drank a lot of bottomlessness with the two princes, his eyes were still clear at this time, and he was not drunk. He even gave a very clear reason for disapproval, as if Zhuo Lian was talented. It's the unruly and unreasonable person.

"Huan Shen, the eldest wife is like a mother, don't bother you with my affairs."

Not long ago, Zhuo Lian was still worried about her identity being seen through by the youth, but after hearing these words, an unknown fire burned in her chest. She is the daughter-in-law of the Huan family, but she doesn't want to scrape off all the flesh and blood, just to exchange for a chastity memorial. She has had enough of that kind of life in her previous life, and there is no need for others to point fingers!

Zhuo Lian’s resistance and injustice were all expected by Huan Cautious. Although there were not many women he had contact with, it was clear that few people would carry a sense of tenacity on their bodies like Zhuo, even with a heavy load on their shoulders. , Will also find the right way to find a way out.

The more such a woman, the less obedient.

You want her to be as well-behaved as a bird in a cage. She doesn't want to. After all, she is used to flying and wild in the sky outside, and then shutting back to a small square inch of ground is like breaking her wings.

Zhuo Lian was kind to Huan Mu Huan Yun, Huan Shen saw everything in his eyes, he had no intention of hurting Zhuo Lian, and simply chose a roundabout way to achieve his goal.

"My sister-in-law is misunderstood. The capital is not as good as Bianzhou. There are countless quotients of the rich and powerful. When you follow the third prince, it is inevitable that you have to think about your mother and sister even if you don’t think about it for yourself. Yes, after the restaurant opened, you never let Yun'er and Zhen Lin go to the front hall to help. Isn't this what you are afraid of?"

"Not so, it's just that the two of them haven't discussed marriage yet, and their boudoir's name is heavy." And she is already married, so naturally she doesn't have to worry about so much.

Huan Shen filled herself up with wine, and continued: "If the sister-in-law has nothing to worry about, it is better to ask Zhen Lin to go to the front hall to help. She is two years older than Yun Niang. She has a calm temperament and can't go wrong." Zhen Lin told Huan. There is no relationship at all at home, and Huan Shen will not consider it for her.

"you!"

Zhuo Lian was trembling with anger. She didn't know what to say. In a place like a wine shop, if there are young and beautiful women selling alcohol, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not be regarded as Orchid. Zhen Lin's life experience is already pitiful enough, why Want to embarrass her deliberately?

"You don't want to, are you?" Huan Shen asked with a smile.

I originally thought that the youth was not drunk, but at this moment, it seemed that the alcohol still had a little effect on him, otherwise he would not become this sharp-edged virtue, like a hedgehog.

"Sister-in-law can think about it, should I stay in the front hall, or let Zhen Lin go to sell wine?"

Zhuo Lian didn't say a word.

The curvature of the corners of Huan Shen's lips is more obvious, but the smile under his eyes suddenly disappears, "Okay, I will look for it now."

"enough!"

"I promise you that I will stay in the backyard in the future, concentrate on making wine, and never lose the face of your Huan family again, Captain Huan, are you satisfied?"

"Satisfied, nothing dissatisfied."

Huan Shen had known that Zhuo Lian was soft-hearted a long time ago, and this result was also expected by him. He drank the Songling wine in the cup, and the pine wood aroma contained in it was indeed special, but it was a pity that there was only one jar.

Seeing the man leaving the box with the wine jar, Zhuo Lian felt that all her strength was drained. She had read the script and knew that Huan Shen was a bastard, but she didn't expect him to be shameless to this point.

After closing her eyes, she slowed down for a long time before her emotions gradually calmed down.

Even if Huan Shen is not a thing, she can't ignore the feelings of Huan Mu and Huan Yun. If they knew that they had a dispute with Huan Shen, they would definitely feel sad.

In a blink of an eye, it was another half month. During this period, Zhuo Lian stayed in the backyard to make wine, and never stepped into the front hall again. The stock they brought back from Bianzhou was not much. Every day, the wine jars in the warehouse were The meeting is empty. The most important thing in the wine shop is the fine wine. The dishes that complement the wine are only the finishing touches, which can play a role in the icing on the cake, but they are not the foundation of a foothold.

Zhuo Lian knows this very well, so he dare not neglect.

Suddenly, Chi Zhong ran into the warehouse panting, holding a letter in his hand, and shook his voice: "Little boss, someone sent a letter just now. He said he came from Yongping Houfu."

Boss Fei is the master of the Yongping Hou Mansion. If it were not for the tragic death of his sister, he would not have stayed in Bianzhou for so many years.

Knowing his identity, Zhuo Lian was naturally surprised, and reached out to take the envelope. She thought that Fei years had arrived in the capital, but after seeing it, she realized that he and his friends would not come back in half a year, but she was reluctant to have a wide variety of wines, so she simply introduced someone.

Qi Henian.

Zhuo Lian tapped on the table with his fingers and thought for a long time, but he did not recall the description of the Qi family in the storybook. He didn't have much entanglement with the hostess.

Qi’s family is a well-known medicinal material merchant in the capital. Zhuo Lian has been here less than a month ago. All the medicinal materials used to make koji come from Qi’s medicine store. Should be a businessman who pays attention to integrity.

In the letter, he said that Qi He will visit the wine shop three days later, and will send a batch of winter plum buds to the store as the main ingredient for making flower wine.

Standing next to him, Chi Zhong couldn't help asking, "Little boss, is there any problem? Do you need to talk to Captain Huan?"

"No, it's just that a guest comes to the door, there is no need to disturb my uncle. He is a errand by the nobleman, so you must not be distracted by these trivial things."

Zhuo Lian waved his hand, folded the letter paper neatly, put it in the sleeve cage, and then washed his hands, turning over the cake on the bamboo mat to avoid becoming a heart-wrenching song.

Three days later, a handsome and good-tempered man came to the wine shop to explain his identity and intentions, and he was led to the main hall to drink tea slowly.

When making wine on weekdays, Zhuo Lian was afraid of affecting her actions, and the clothes she wore on her upper body were not very particular. However, when guests came at home, it was not easy to meet them unkempt and unkempt. She put on a satin coat and the most skirt There are a few wisteria flowers embroidered below, not conspicuous, but very clean.

She didn't wear makeup, but she had a very good foundation, with thick black eyebrows and blushing lips, she was extremely dazzling no matter where she stood, and she didn't need to spend extra thoughts.

When he heard the footsteps, Qi Henian raised his head and saw the young woman lift the curtain and walk in.

There was a trace of surprise in his eyes. Although Qi Henian was a merchant, he had read the books of sages after all. He withdrew his gaze and did not act too outrageously.

"Boss Zhuo." He arched his hands and said hello.

Zhuo Lian blessed his body, and the smile on his cheeks became thicker. In the letter sent by Boss Fei, Qi Henian was full of praise, and when I saw him, he really showed talent. It’s not bad to think about it, otherwise, how can I make my own pharmacy bloom all over the capital, and even the business can be done in other places.

"Boss Fei's letter has been received, and the wine shop will buy the raw materials in the future, so I have to trouble you more."

"These are what Qi should do. Boss Zhuo is not welcome. The buds that Uncle Fei asked me to send are all outside the door. Boss Zhuo should go to inspect the goods?"

Zhuo Lian nodded, "It's okay to have a look."

Most businessmen are cautious. In order to make their own wines more outstanding, Zhuo Lian also spent a lot of energy on the raw materials. He tried several kinds of glutinous rice back and forth. Later, he found that rouge glutinous rice was the most suitable. The wine tasted very good. Is outstanding.

A carriage was parked at the back door of the wine shop. There were a few bamboo baskets on the cart. Zhuo Lian opened the soft cloth, took out a small flower bud and put it in the palm of his hand, peeled off the petals and tasted it. Although the fragrance of flowers is not strong, it is exceptional. Light and elegant, without the slightest odor, it's pretty good.

"Boss Fei loves wine, and the things he picked are really good. Thank you Master Qi."

With that said, she walked into the courtyard and called out Qu Yi and Yang Wu. With great strength, they held the bamboo baskets in their arms and moved them to the house one by one, so as not to be damaged by the cold wind.

Qu Yi glanced at the young man standing at the door. He only felt that this person was particularly strange, he had never seen him before, and he didn't know who he was.

Zhuo Lian and Qi Henian agreed on the time and price of the future supply, and then sent the person out with a smile, and also gave him a bottle of hawthorn wine. The wine shop does not sell fruit wine for the time being, it is reserved for my family to drink.

Qu Yi wiped the dust from his palm, walked to the woman's side, and asked in a low voice: "Who was that person just now?"
