Chapter 90 New Wine
After eating, the servants quietly packed up and came up the tea. Li Xiaoyao picked up his cup of ordinary tea and listened to Su Zicheng and Shuizhi County with a smile. Su Zicheng did not mention half of his official business, but said some gossip from his parents. The family was good. Did his grandson go to school? Did the little daughter see if he be optimistic about him? , and so on, Li Xiaoyao was surprised to hear that. It seems that Shui Qingqian has a lot to do with Su Zicheng. Who is the Shui family? I'm about 50 years old, and I've only become a magistrate, which is a little interesting.
After chatting for half an hour, Shui Qingqian saw that Su Zicheng's face was a little tired. He stood up and bowed and said, "Master, it's late. The subordinate will resign first. I will have a good rest. I am less than a few years ago."
Su Zicheng smiled and turned his head and told Dongping, "You send me to Shizhi County and choose two safe guards to take him back." Dongping agreed respectfully and led the water out of the tent. Li Xiaoyao also stood up: "It's time for me to say goodbye. Take a rest." Su Zicheng looked at her and replied irrelevant: "The day after tomorrow, I will stay in Beizhuang, Jingnan Mansion. In the afternoon, I will enter Kaiping Mansion the day after tomorrow, and send the girl I picked for you to Biezhuang." Li Xiaoyao nodded: "Okay!"
At dawn the next day, Li Xiaoyao half closed his eyes and was about to climb into the car. Lv Feng jumped out from the side: "I'm back!" Li Xiaoyao was shocked. Lv Feng looked a little thin, his eyes were shining and energetic, and he stretched out: "I came back in the middle of the night yesterday. How about it? Run fast, right?
"Well, I want you to send any letters in the future. Are you fast!" Li Xiaoyao looked up at him, bent his eyes and said with a smile. Lv Feng motioned Li Xiaoyao to get in the car, jumped to the door of the carriage and sat down. He smiled and said, "Do you know what I'm doing so urgent? Let me tell you, we will definitely arrive in Jingnan Prefecture tomorrow. Coincidentally, tomorrow happens to be a good day to open new wine in Jingnan Prefecture. Let me tell you, this opening of new wine is a rare event. It must be seen!"
Li Xiaoyao suddenly became interested and moved forward, signaling to Lv Feng: "Let's talk about it in detail, how to open it?" The two talked one by one. Li Xiaoyao's day passed very fast. At noon the next day, Su Zicheng saw several local officials. After a while, he hadn't seen the courtyard outside Jingnanfu City. The sun was about to go down to the west. Lv Feng and Li Xiaoyao were anxious, simply rode a horse, quietly left the team, and went all the way to Jingnan Prefecture. I galloped away to see the excitement of the new wine.
Su Zicheng and his party entered the courtyard of Jingnan Prefecture. Shui Qingliang's eldest son Shuiyan took people out more than a distance away. The first filial queen had only two younger brothers, all of whom were mothers. The eldest brother Shui Qingming attacked Anyuan Marquis. His wife Sui gave birth to a daughter and two sons. The eldest daughter Shuirong married the champion of the previous family, Beiping Xiao Yuanpei, the eldest son of Xiao's parents, married Ye Shi, and his second son was only 17 years old. The younger brother is Jingjiang Hou Shui Qingliang, and his wife Jiang, who gave birth to two sons and one daughter. The eldest son Shuiyan is 20 years old this year. He has been Su Zicheng's companion since childhood. He is picking and four relatives. The second son is Shui Li. He is 16 years old this year, and his young daughter Shui Ying.
Shuiyan welcomed Su Zicheng into another courtyard, drank tea and waited for him to bathe and wash out. Su Zicheng changed into a blue and gray gown, sat comfortably on the chair, picked up the cup and took a sip of tea and asked, "Have you seen the eldest brother these days? How are you, big brother?"
"Before I came, the uncle called me over and talked for a while. The uncle is good, in good health and in a good mood." Shuiyan shook the folding fan and replied with a smile. Su Zicheng breathed a sigh of relief, looked up and down at Shuiyan and asked, "Have you decided on your marriage?" There is no famous family lady in Manbeiping that you can see?
"Don't worry, what's the hurry? This marriage should not be rushed anyway. Shuiyan laughed vaguely: "That's right, all the maids you asked me to pick have brought. According to your instructions, pick half from your house and half from my house. The Ruyue girl I'm looking for in your house are all picked out by Ruyue. Call you to have a look?"
"No, let her see for herself." Su Zicheng put down the cup, turned his head and looked at Nanning and ordered, "Go and invite the fifth master to come over." Nanning was embarrassed and reported: "Master Hui, the fifth master and Master Lu rushed to Jingnanfu, saying that they had gone to see the new wine." Su Zicheng frowned and said in silence for a moment, "Let Changqing look for it and see if something happens." Nanning promised to leave the house. Shuiyan stopped the folding fan in his hand in surprise: "You looked for these girls. I thought it was a girl to wait for."
"It's a girl, but she calls herself the fifth master." Su Zicheng explained lightly that Shuiyan was stunned by surprise and stared at Su Zicheng for a long time. His eyes gradually showed ambiguity. He shook the folding fan and whispered with a smile, "This girl must be a good girl!" Su Zicheng looked at him and said, "You will know later." Shuiyan heard another conster, and he will know later? Wasn't it admitted to the inner courtyard?
In Jingnan Mansion, Lv Feng and Li Xiaoyao sent horses and ran to the streets where they passed by the new wine parade.
Jingnan Mansion is very lively, holding, pushing, holding, selling all kinds of fresh flowers, loose candies, kidneys, white intestines, and even crown combing collars one after another. The shouts come one after another, and the city is as lively and festive as the New Year.
"Go quickly, Dongdajo Street is the busiest! I've inquired to see if I can find an elegant room upstairs. It looks comfortable!" Lv Feng pulled Li Xiaoyao, and the two squeezed all the way through the crowd and rushed to the East Street. How can there be an elegant room now? The restaurants and shops on the street are the most powerful guys standing at the door. No one can put them in, and they are sure that they can no longer squeeze people inside.
Li Xiaoyao turned his head to look at the bustle on the street and pulled Lu Feng: "Look at it on this street! It's better than inside!"
On the other side of the street, the female prostitutes recruited by various restaurants have come over. Lv Feng hurriedly pulled Li Xiaoyao, squeezed around, looked for a better street corner, protected Li Xiaoyao and stood on a street stone. Li Xiaoyao had just stood still, and the female prostitutes with the fragrance of flowers and rain were dressed luxuriously, sitting diagonally in silk, hanging flowers and pretending. The gorgeous horse waved his hands with a smile all the way and slowly marched over. Lv Feng stood beside Li Xiaoyao and pointed to the prostitutes wearing other clothes and said, "Look, the front one with a high bun and wide sleeves and wide skirt are the leaders of Jingnan Mansion. You don't see many."
"There are also many, more than ten!" Li Xiaoyao carefully looked at the female prostitutes with heavy fat and powder on their faces, and pointed to the female prostitutes with some depression and complained, "Look, a face is painted like a New Year's painting, white pink, red and red. What's the messy face? It's really ugly. No matter how good the foundation is, it will be ruined! The clothes on your body look good!" Those prostitutes, with bright and tender breasts inside, and their pink and green skirts almost brushed to the ground. They were covered with unswrapped clothes and embroidered with various colors unfolded with horse steps and breeze, revealing their white breasts and shoulders and gorgeous silk. In fact, such heavy makeup matched with such gorgeous clothes, it's really It gave birth to an ultimate beauty, just like a Japanese geisha. Li Xiaoyao was in a trance, as if she were in the exquisitely decorated peace room. In front of her, a group of geisha folded their hands and feet and danced with the monotonous three-flavor line.
Lv Feng laughed and said, "I don't know. That's the new makeup that has just become popular in Taiping Mansion. In addition, the eyebrows need to be shaved first, and then painted on. Take a closer look, it's still a little smelly!" Li Xiaoyao exhaled and pointed to the female prostitutes who wore all kinds of gold, silver beads and jade crowns and gorgeous breasts, but only wore light and long veils on their shoulders. The long yarns of the female prostitutes dragged behind the horse with long skirts, causing the ronin to follow and pulled the yarn and laughing. Li Xiaoyao pointed to the large number of female prostitutes with light veils and asked, "Is this second-class?"
"Yes! Looking at the back, the second class is boring. Looking at the beginning of the line, I just look at the third class. The third class are all young prostitutes who have newly appeared. Next year's first class will come out in the third class. Lv Feng is indeed a very knowledgeable player. Li Xiaoyao held Lv's shoulder and looked back at those third-class prostitutes. They were indeed much younger and also wore crowns. However, this crowns were mostly silver-horned silver frames, with light gauze silk in the middle, and occasionally wearing one or two crowns of all-silver or gold-horned gold frames. Gu Panjian was much more proud. Dressed in a tight jacket, her lower body was a pair of extremely fat crotch trousers. Li Xiaoyao stared at the wide-legged trousers on the third-class female prostitute and almost whistled. She also wore these trousers!
Lv Feng pushed her: "Come down, come down, come down, the wine is coming, let's grab the new wine! Hurry up!" Li Xiaoyao jumped off the boundary stone, pulled Lv Feng tightly, and rushed straight to the red ox cart behind him. The car was standing back to back by two winery men in clean white shorts and trousers, holding a long wooden handle wine spoon, scooping wine and pouring wine in one go. There were four or five winery men in white shorts and trousers on each side. Squatting, taking a glass, receiving wine, and giving the wine to the crowd on both sides of the car is as rhythmic as dancing. Lv Feng took two cups and handed one to Li Xiaoyao. Li Xiaoyao took a sip. The wine actually tasted good. The two drank one by one, and Lv Feng drank it all. Li Xiaoyao had to lick a few tongues in each cup. She drank so lightly that she could fall down in a few glasses.
After drinking all the way, Li Xiaoyao's face was pink and his eyes were so bright that he couldn't stop laughing. Lv Feng burped, dragged Li Xiaoyao and shouted excitedly: "Let's go!" I will take you to be the number one in Jingnan Prefecture!"
