Royal Beloved Black Wife

   Chapter 124 The mighty, unlucky Father Chu (4)

   How an orphan without parents grew up in an icy mansion, and how he cried every night he had nightmares, Miss Yao, do you know all this? Why don't you wake up...look at him? he's your-

   The inner servant sighed faintly, what use is it for who is yours? You don't remember, you don't remember anything.

   The next day, the weather was fine.

   Zhang He tidyed up his appearance as usual and walked to the court.

  The place where he lives is close to the palace, so he can walk without a carriage.

   There are many people who walk like him. Some are as close as him and don't need to fight a horse. Some want to exercise their bodies. Some want to show their integrity. If they meet, they will say hello to each other.

   Such as Chen Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites.

   "Morning, Master Zhang, I'm going to teach the eldest prince again!"

   "Yeah." He nodded politely, "I'll go up after I'm down."

   Ever since he became the Prince's Junior Teacher, everyone has forgotten his job as a Hanlin Grand Scholar. He always reminds everyone patiently that my job is in the Imperial Academy, and the Pope is by the way.

   But for everyone, it doesn't matter, anyway, it's enough that you are a celebrity in front of the emperor.

  Chen Shangshu patted him on the shoulder in fear, and asked with a little more smile than usual: "By the way, Xiao Zhang, do you still have that plum wine in your house?"

"Gone."

"Gone."

   "It's really gone."

   On the way, Zhang He was greeted many times, and all of them asked about plum wine, so he wondered, why did everyone know that his family drank plum wine? Yes, he is very addicted to alcohol. The problem is, this is the first time he drank plum wine. Before he took a few sips, he was robbed by Zhang Yan's little girl. How could it be known to everyone?

   The most puzzling thing is the Shangguan censor in front of him, who has always been at odds with his political views. The two quarreled in the court hall for three days and five days. The quarrel became impatient. They rolled up their sleeves and fought directly. call!

   "Morning, Master Zhang!" He smiled kindly.

   Zhang He said without a smile, as if he had seen a fox: "What's the matter with Shangguan Yushi?"

   Shangguan Censor waved his hand: "You can't afford it, it's like asking about your plum wine..."

   "No!" Zhang He flung his sleeves and left.

Today's court did not talk about anything that could not be disputed, but talked about the need to thoroughly investigate why the Kashgar side did not report the situation of the 100,000 army in Mobei, and whether to kill the Mobei Xiaojun Wang or be a proton or give it away Back to Mobei.

   The regent didn't come to court for some reason. He didn't come, and many people didn't dare to speak, or were too lazy to speak.

   "If you have something to play, if you have nothing to retire to the court." His Majesty gave an order, and there was silence in the Golden Palace. His Majesty scratched his cheeks and waved his hand impatiently, "Let's go, let's go, I'll face you in the early morning, enough is enough!"

   Everyone retire.

   His Majesty raised his eyebrows: "Zhang He, you stay."

   He didn't plan to leave, he wanted to stay in the study room to teach the first prince's homework.

   Soon, Zhang He realized that His Majesty meant to stay in the Golden Throne Hall. When the crowd dispersed, he blessed himself in confusion, held the wat board and saluted, "Your Majesty."

   His Majesty cleared his throat and seemed a little embarrassed to speak.

  The inner waiter is a fine person. With a bright smile, he walked over to Zhang He, winked and said, "Do you still have any plum wine in your house? If you have it, bring some over."

   Zhang He: "…"

   After leaving the Golden Palace, Zhang He's lungs were bulging.

   Who are these people? It makes it seem like the plum wine is his property! If his family could make such good wine, would he still spend every day visiting the wine shop?

   By the way, where did the plum wine you drink yesterday come from?

   "Master! Master! There are a lot of people here again, saying they want to buy our plum wine!" The maid slammed the curtain and came in in shock. She accidentally ignored the threshold of more than ten years and stumbled on the ground!

   "Oh, my old bones!" The servant girl reluctantly got up and sighed, "What's the matter, sir?"

  The grandfather was an imperial teacher before his disability. After his disability, his son became the prince's junior teacher. The noble family is famous in Kyoto, and it is impossible for no one to come to see him. But in the past, everyone took care of the grandfather's happiness and did not dare to make any noise, and secondly, they were not too embarrassed to pierce that layer of window paper in front of their colleagues. They usually "passed by". , is smashing the door!

   Mr. Zhang stroked his beard and laughed: "You didn't tell them that the wine is not made by us?"

   The servant girl beat her legs and said, "I told you, I told you! They don't believe it! If it wasn't for our family to make it, you would be so generous that you would like to give it to an aristocratic family in the whole capital?"

   Mrs. Zhang just laughed: "They said that because they wanted to make a cliché from my mouth. Haha! No hurry, no hurry."

   That girl is not in a hurry, what is he in a hurry for? Don't get in the way of her plans by not helping.

   At first, he thought that the girl asked him to distribute the plum wine to make a name for her Shixiangju. After thinking about it carefully, he felt that it was wrong.

   In other words, earning fame is one of the purposes, but not the whole purpose.

   That girl... seems to be doing something big!

   He didn't know what it was, but she helped him so much, and he should repay her.

The reputation of    plum wine spread in the circle of elites. Thanks to Chu Qianqian's blessing, Master Chu is not a small shrimp that can be fanned by a slap in the circle of the elite. After learning about the plum wine, he immediately sent people to look for it in the major wineries in the capital, vowing to find out The exact same wine came.

  Unfortunately, I can't find it in my head, and no one has it ready-made, but there are many wineries that say that it can be customized.

   On this day, after going to court, he misses his son and daughter a little. This daughter is Chu Yan, the little disaster star of Chu Qianqian, even if he kills him, he will not miss him.

   "Where's Miss? Are you in Yingxintang?" He asked Steward Liu.

   Director Liu, in addition to taking care of Fuzhong affairs these days, also has a special task to keep an eye on Yingxintang.

"I went out and went to Mrs. Zhang's house again. The eldest young lady is always running to Mrs. Zhang's house recently. Are you treating the grandfather's leg?" Mr. Liu asked with a smile. He recommended the master to be a minister. It seems that the master is not far from the position of minister.

  Unexpectedly, Master Chu slammed him: "You know what a fart? That little disaster star wants me to be ruined, and she won't give credit to me for treating my master!"

   But the little disaster star is not here today, he can safely go to Yingxintang!

When    came to Yingxintang, unfortunately, Chu Mo and Chu Yan took a nap.

Master Chu squeezed the cheeks of his son and daughter, then took a bite of their little hands, and admonished: "You are not allowed to imitate your unconscionable elder sister, do you hear me? You are my children, you have to listen to me, so that I can follow my lead. , you have to stick with me, do you hear?"

   Naturally, I didn't hear it.

  Master Chu smacked his lips dejectedly, walked to the Ming Hall and sat down, wanting to wait for the children to wake up and talk for a while before leaving.

  Shen shi brought a plate of crab yellow su, a plate of crystal balls, a sweet taro roll, and a pot of wine, and said, "Sir, it's still early for dinner, so let's eat something to bolster your stomach."

  Master Chu casually said "um", and took a crystal ball in his hand. After eating it, he thought it tasted good, better than Gongzhong's! After taking another sip of wine, I was so excited: "This... what kind of wine is this?"

  Shen shi said: "Plum wine, isn't it good to drink, sir?"

  Plum...Plum wine?

  Master Chu didn't seem to believe it, he took another sip, it was delicious, so delicious! Even he, who doesn't like low-alcohol alcohol very much, couldn't put it down: "Is this from Mr. Zhang?"

   That little girl runs to Zhang's house every day and gets a few jars of Grandpa's wine, isn't it unusual?

Shen shi wanted to say that this wine was brought back from the restaurant by Chu Qianqian, and when the words came to her lips, she remembered that the master still didn't know about Qianqian's business, and this, strictly speaking, was not something that a boudoir woman should do, so Shen Shen After hesitating for a while, he nodded in a guilty conscience.

  Master Chu gave the expression "I guessed it long ago", and then his eyes flashed, and he asked, "Is there any more at home?"

  Shen shi was stunned: "Yes, yes."

  Master Chu's eyes lit up: "How many?"

  Shen shi opened the wine cabinet and counted: "Five altars."

  Five altars…

   Five altars? !

   It's hard to buy a single jar of gold on the market, but his family... actually has five jars? !

  Master Chu jumped up!

  Shen shi was so frightened by this sudden change that his face turned pale, did you find it? Did the master find out that Qianqian is doing business outside?

  Master Chu grabbed Shen shi's arm, which made Shen shi hurt. Shen shi asked in a trembling voice: "Master, listen to my explanation... Qianqian her..."

   "Laner!"

   Gentle call!

  Shen shi froze!

  Master Chu's hand slid down her arm, held her hand, and said affectionately: "Lan'er, you don't drink much anyway, let me drink it."

   A few jars of wine are nothing more than a rare item. Of course, Shen shi has no reason not to give it, so he said in a daze: "Okay...Okay."

  Master Chu happily rolled up his sleeves, and while the little disaster star was not around, he quickly moved away, all moved away!

   "Liu Quan! Come in and bring wine!"

   called out, but no one answered.

  Master Chu raised his voice: "Liu Quan! I told you to come in and bring wine! There is a good plum wine here! Come in and move!"

   Still no answer.

"Liu Quan, you old man, where did you go to, watch out for me..." As he gritted his teeth, he turned around with a jar of wine. smashed to the ground.
