Chapter 396 Fading but Love Relaxing

   "What good thing? It's hidden so tightly." Seeing her husband's mysterious look, Luo Shi thought it was funny.

  Song Yi'an was in high spirits, "It's really a good thing, look!" He took out the hip flask hidden behind him.

   "Isn't it just wine?" Luo Shi was not disappointed either, because since she got married, it was rare to see her husband so happy. Could it be some good wine? She guessed in her heart.

Song Yi'an approached the flagon, sniffed deeply, and looked intoxicated, "This is not ordinary wine, this is wine! Your lord rewarded it, and everyone else got one catty. Your family's husband got two catties. The only one who got two catties in the entire yamen Five."

  His five fingers spread open, and even the smile lines around his mouth were full of complacency.

   Is this a matter of two catties? This represents how much the adults value him.

"Really? This is really great!" Now Luo Shi was pleasantly surprised, his eyes widened, and he looked at the pot of wine with awe, "I haven't drunk wine yet, quickly bring the wine glass, I will accompany the uncle Have a drink and learn a lot." The last sentence was said to the maid.

"Take the set of white porcelain." Song Yi'an explained quickly, and then explained to his wife, "Wine is red, and it looks best served in white porcelain." His eyes fell on his wife's face, "I heard my lord tell Mr. Zhuo that wine Promoting blood and nourishing beauty is the best for women. I tasted this wine in the yamen, so I won’t drink it now. Divide half of it to honor your parents, and keep the rest for you to drink slowly.”

  The wife is about the same age as the county matriarch's wife, but she looks a few years older than the county magistrate's wife. They have worked hard for him and their small family in the past few years. Song Yi'an looked at his wife who was as happy as a child, the corners of his eyes were slightly red.

  Roche was so moved that he almost shed tears. Thinking that this is a happy event, it would be a bad luck, so he blinked his eyes and forced the tears back, "Did the second master give some too? If the husband has this kind of heart, I will be satisfied, and I will just have a drink." gone."

  There are not only parents-in-law, but also uncle in this family. Wine is a rarity, the husband has been rewarded, if the brother-in-law doesn't give it away, I'm afraid there will be another lawsuit.

  My husband treats her well, thinks of her, she is happy even without wine. Husband managed to find a place in the yamen with great difficulty, so he couldn't let his family hold him back. What the husband can't think of, as a wife, she has to help think about it.

   "No need." The smile on Song Yi'an's face faded, "Didn't he see any good things during his study tour?" After going out for three months to study, he spent a few thousand taels of silver. Unlike him, although he traveled extensively to do business, he was very frugal, and he was reluctant to even live in a hotel.

   "If he wants to drink, don't his parents also have it? There is not much left, so you don't need to be upset." He comforted his wife.

   "Okay, my concubine will listen to my husband." Luo Shi stood next to Song Yi'an, his eyes filled with joy. The two looked at each other, and the relationship between husband and wife became even sweeter.

  Yu Zhi was holding his own small ledger to settle the accounts. After writing for a while, he raised his head and asked Wen Jiuxiao, "Third Lord, if I sell wine, how should I set the price?"

  In addition to the first batch of wild grapes, Yu Zhi brewed another batch, using grapes brought back by Qingfeng. Grapes were too difficult to buy, and they only bought about two hundred catties in total, and they were shipped back chilled. Otherwise, it will be damaged if it is too hot. It is ice, and it is also the labor of horses and horses, all of which have to be added to the cost, otherwise it will lose money.

  So, you still have to grow your own grapes and expect to buy them from outside, so you can’t make wine in large quantities.

  Wen Jiuxiao pondered for a moment, and then said: "The wine jug that can be packed in a catty should not be less than ten taels of silver." Grapes are a rare commodity, and the price is high. Sugar is needed to make wine, and sugar is expensive. Plus the cost of transportation... oh, the wine is a tribute from the Fan Kingdom, and no one in the Daqing Dynasty knew how to make wine. Rare things are more expensive, ten taels is too low, and it has to be doubled, "Let's set it at twenty taels."

   In Wen Jiuxiao's view, twenty taels of silver is not much, and those wealthy businessmen really don't pay attention to these twenty taels of silver. But for ordinary people, twenty taels is an astronomical figure.

  Wen Jiuxiao was thoughtful, and seriously considered the matter of planting grapes. He thought: If the wine in Yun County in Shanshan is really popular, why don't you worry about businessmen not coming?

   "Okay, listen to the third master." Yu Zhi made a heavy deposit on the account book. Then she found that she couldn't make much money, because there was too little wine.

   It is still necessary to plant grapes on a large scale, so the couple thought of going together.

   "Yu Xiaozhi, am I getting old?" Wen Jiuxiao asked suddenly, Yu Zhi suddenly raised his head, but was surprised. What happened, or convulsions? Why do you ask this?

   "No!" Yu Zhishi replied, his face was still so handsome. The eyes are deep, and a glance is deep in them.

   "Since I'm not old, why don't you look at me?" Wen Jiuxiao looked at Yu Zhi with a naked accusation in his eyes, "I thought I was fading and fell in love."

  What a resentful tone!

  Yu Zhi couldn't believe her ears, and luckily she didn't drink tea at this time, otherwise she would have to spit it out.

  Listen, the color fades and the love relaxes, what kind of tiger and wolf is this? Especially Wen Jiuxiao, who came from a cold face, why is it so unbelievable?

   Is this to blame her for neglecting him? She didn't either... Meeting Wen Jiuxiao's gaze, Yu Zhi felt a little guilty.

   Well, she's been busy recently, isn't it because of making wine? Tired all day during the day, who has energy at night?

   "Does the account book look better than me?" Wen Jiuxiao leaned forward and turned his face in front of Yu Zhi's eyes.

   Such a flourishing beauty, who can resist it? Even after watching for so long, the two looked at each other, Yu Zhi still couldn't help the throbbing in his heart, his eyes were blurred.

  Wen Jiuxiao's eyes flashed with pride, he had long known that his face was what she liked the most. In the words she complained about him, if he didn't have this face, he wouldn't be able to marry a wife just because of his bad character.

  Wine can beautify the skin, so he should drink it every day to take good care of his face.

  Well, do you have to bring an umbrella when you go on inspection in two days? The sunshine in Shanyun County is so strong, if he gets tanned, a superficial woman like Yu Xiaozhi will definitely despise him.

   "Madam, it's late at night and dew heavy, it's time to rest." Wen Jiuxiao pulled out the account book and pen from Yu Zhi's hand, threw them on the desk, and carried him to the bed while he was confused.

  Mandarin ducks crossed their necks and were turned into red waves.

  Outside the window, the moon hides in the clouds in shame, and the night is silent, except for the faint chirping of insects brought by the breeze.

  Yu Zhi was so tired that she didn't want to move her toes, she suddenly remembered that it was only late when she read the book, the fart was exposed late at night!

  She was too tired, this idea only turned in her mind for a while, and soon fell into a dark and sweet dreamland.

  Wen Jiuxiao was very energetic, staring at her sleeping face, not feeling sleepy at all.

  Even if he didn't want to admit it, he always knew that Yu Xiaozhi's feelings for him were not as deep as he was for her. He told himself that it's good that he likes her, don't be too greedy, as long as she is by his side.

  However, he is still greedy, and he can't help but make trouble every once in a while, to make sure that she is still there and not impatient with him. Make sure that his face is still attractive to her.

  He knew it was not good, he just couldn't help it, he was just uneasy!
