Chapter Forty-Eight: The Contentment Winery

On February 25, 140 New Calendar, after the news that the Kingdom of Byron signed a military alliance treaty with the Kingdom of Elt and leased 5,000 Mingji muskets and 500,000 sets of ammunition from the Kingdom of Ayrs, the city of Byron once again broke big news.

On this day, the Republic of Bujin officially returned the five towns in the northern part of the former Shangjin County to the Kingdom of Byrons. The city of Byron and Magnich issued a diplomatic proclamation at the same time, and the day after the announcement was made, the officials and troops of the Kingdom of Byron officially took over the five towns led by the town of Shaobei.

"Hmph, in the end, I still haven't escaped Xiaoxiao and that stinky boy."

In the "Contentment Wine Workshop" in Shaobei Town, a woman with a hideous scar on her face said indignantly. The one-armed woman sitting next to her covered her mouth and smiled.

"Sister, are you moving?"

"Humph! I'd like to move! ”

"Then move well, save Xiaoxiao and that stinky boy from paying taxes."

Seeing that the one-armed woman didn't stop herself, the scar woman turned her head in surprise. After noticing the smile on the one-armed woman's face, she realized that the one-armed woman had said this on purpose.

"Good you stinky seventeen! I dare to make fun of my sister! ”

"Ouch, my good sister, how dare I make fun of you."

The one-armed woman could no longer hold back her laughter, and her eyes were bent into a crescent moon.

"But sister, it's time to change your dishonest problem."

"Humph! Where am I not being honest? The scar girl turned her head awkwardly, "I hate that ungrateful white-eyed wolf the most!" ”

"Oh? Is it? ”

The one-armed woman smiled slightly and said unhurriedly.

"Who heard about the financial constraints of the Byronic Kingdom a few years ago, and wanted to move the winery to the city?"

"I ...... I just want to make more money! The scar woman blushed and defended, "I want to open a semicolon!" Open a semicolon! ”

The shrine sake of the Solobe Brewery is famous not only in the northern five towns, but also in the surrounding towns. The taverns in Magnich and Shangjin City are selling the wine of the Contentment Winery, and even if Ercao and Yi don't move the winery and don't open a semicolon, they can still make money. She did this for the sole purpose of sending money to the Kingdom of Byron on the grounds of taxes.

Ercao Seventeen didn't break it, and continued to say leisurely.

"Then when the deposit business was opened at the Royal Bank, who was so impatient to deposit all the money in the counter?"

"I am...... I'm there for...... In order to...... For the sake of insurance! ”

Ercaoyi finally came up with a reason, thinking that he could fool the past. However, when it comes to insurance, the security of Royal Bank is not necessarily better than that of Contentment Winery. Although Ercao Seventeen broke an arm, it was not something that ordinary people could deal with. As for Ercausaichi, she knew that she had too much pleasure when she was at the Black Shrine, and she had regressed in martial arts, so she would insist on practicing martial arts every day. Even when her martial arts regressed, she could easily win against Xiaoxiao's level of combat power, but if it was now, she might not even be able to carry a single move.

Not to mention that there are more than a dozen long witches who escaped from Kamijin Shrine in the sake brewery, and most of them are shrine maidens, but there are also people who are war witches and slave witches. Although their combat power is not as good as Ercao Yi, they can barely catch up with Ercao Seventeen, who has a broken arm. If these people were to concentrate on guarding a cash chest, apart from the Ira Youkai and the seasoned Leyting magician, only a master like Tengyuan would be able to snatch the money from here.

Ercao Seventeen still didn't break Ercausa's cover-up, just looked at her with a smile. Ercaoyi snorted again and turned his face to the other side.

Ercaoyi is a cheerful person who is happy and revengeful. When the Satomi Shrine didn't betray her, she was dedicated to doing things for the Satomi Shrine and never used her power for personal gain. After being betrayed, she immediately sees Riya Shrine as a mortal enemy. If it weren't for the Evil Witch Organization's dependence on the Shrine, she might have unilaterally declared war on the Shrine.

She's as she is to things, and she's so to people. Ercao Seventeen has a close relationship with her, even if Ercao Seventeen ignores her, she will still be good to Ercao Seventeen and trust her very much. Don't look at Ercao Yiyi's once smashed Ercao Seventeen with a knife, she only shot when she was sure that Ercao Seventeen could dodge this blow. Later, Ercao Seventeen sat there waiting for her to smash it, but she didn't dare to smash it. She will retaliate mercilessly against those who betrayed and hurt her, even if the other party surrenders and admits her mistakes, she will knock their heads one by one.

Of course, many of the people who were knocked out of the head by Ercaoyi were forced to participate in the operation. But at that time, Erkusaichi was hurt a lot, she was betrayed by the person she trusted the most, and that feeling of despair was incomprehensible to those who had not experienced it. At that time, she lost her mind, so she killed everyone indiscriminately. When she calmed down, she immediately regretted it, and took the initiative to find Ercao Seventeen to admit her mistake. It's a pity that Ercao Seventeen was also hurt a lot at that time, and she has been ignoring Ercausa Ichi, so Ercaoyi will give up on herself, and little by little it will become what she was later.

Ercao knew that she had caused a lot of harm to Xiaoxiao in the past, but Xiaoxiao repaid her with virtue and let her and Ercao Seventeen go. Although Ercao Seventeen lost one of his arms, it was cut off by Ercao Seventeen himself. Ercao Seventeen also regretted it very much when she talked about it, she was so worried about Ercaoyi that she cut off her arm in a hurry. In fact, with her understanding of Xiaoxiao, although Xiaoxiao said that she was not at ease with her, she just wanted to warn her not to mess around, and she had no intention of letting her harm herself at all.

Xiaoxiao's attitude towards Ercaoyi is very rude, but this is completely her own doing. She raised Xiaoxiao for eleven years, but she raised her from the beginning to torture Xiaoxiao, which is not a kindness at all. The so-called kindness is not based on what you have done for others, but on why you have done these things for this person.

A trade is a deal because it has a back and forth. I give you what you want in order to get what I want from you, and that's the nature of trading. You will never think that the person who lends you usury is kind to you, even if he lends you tens of millions of dollars in one go when you need it most. Because he lent you money not to help you, but to make more money.

If it is your friend who lends you money, even if he only lends you 100 money when you need 2,000 tairong money, you will also note his kindness. Because he didn't borrow money for anything else, he just wanted to help you get through it. The difference between feelings and transactions is here, people who value the former will feel that the above words are very reasonable, and people who value the latter will definitely come up with various ways to refute after reading the above words, and they have to confuse transactions and feelings to show that they are also a person who values feelings.

Ercaoyi is not such a person. She doesn't make excuses for her evil deeds, no matter what she has given Xiaoxiao, she is using Xiaoxiao to hurt Xiaoxiao. She doesn't think she's kind to Xiaoxiao, so she can understand Xiaoxiao's hatred for her. Because of this, Xiaoxiao's forgiveness for her is even more precious.

After figuring this out, Nikusaichi regretted hurting Xiaoxiao in the first place. In her own words, she was blind at the beginning, and she would actually try her best to destroy such a good child, and she still had fun with it. Nicho knew that once the damage was done, no matter what he did, he couldn't make up for it. But she still wants to make up for Xiaoxiao, she doesn't do this to make her heart feel better, she just wants to heal the pain she caused Xiaoxiao as much as possible.

However, Ercaiichi is a person who is not honest. She wanted to make up for Xiaoxiao, but she didn't want Xiaoxiao to know. If Xiaoxiao didn't know what Ercausa did, she wouldn't be relieved by Ercausa's change. Ercao Seventeen knows this very well, so she wants Ercaoyi to be more honest and let Xiaoxiao see her changes.

When Ercao Seventeen thinks of these things, he often feels that Xiaoxiao is more like a mother, and Ercaoyi, who has raised Xiaoxiao for eleven years, is like a child. When she thought about it, she didn't find it strange. When Xiaoxiao let go of Ercaoyi, Ercaoyi was reborn because of this forgiveness. In a sense, isn't the relationship between Ercausaichi, who gets a new life, and the smile that gives her a new life, the relationship between the child and the mother?

February 27, Bluestone Palace.

For lunch that day, Maier ate it with Yunxin. Lunch was made by Yun Xin herself, and Yun Xin often cooked for Maier herself, but the mother and son rarely ate together like now.

When the son grows up, he and his mother will have fewer and fewer topics in common. While he was eating, he was still thinking about the afternoon cabinet meeting, and barely spoke to Yunxin. Yun Xin couldn't find any suitable topics to talk about, and she quickly ate her fill, so she drank while watching Maier eat.

Maier quickly noticed his mother's gaze, and he picked up a napkin and wiped his mouth, only to see that Yunxin was still staring at him. Maier thought it was strange and asked Yun Xin, "Mom, is there something on my face?" ”

Yun Xin smiled and shook her head, and asked Maier, "Is the food still appetizing?" ”

Maier nodded, and then remembered to praise her mother's work. Yun Xin smiled happily, and then looked at her son expectantly, obviously wanting to talk to Mel more.

Maier could see Yunxin's expectation, but he couldn't think of any suitable topics for a while. He saw Yun Xin drinking, and he had an idea, and said, "Mom, are you still satisfied with the wine you bought a while ago?" ”

Yun Xin smiled even more happily when she heard the topic she was interested in.

"Quite satisfied! Those wines must be expensive, right? Don't spend so much money next time, it will make people chew their tongues. ”

"Just be happy, don't worry about money. Tell me what kind of wine you have drunk, and I'll send someone to buy it. ”

"I'll buy good wine."

"You don't know where you bought the wine, so I'll send someone to buy it."

"How do you know I don't know where I bought the wine?"

Yun Xin picked up the wine jug, poured the empty glass full of wine, picked up the wine glass and shook it gently, and said as if showing off.

"The wine I drink now is called 'Ercao Brewing', which is a famous wine produced in Shaobei Town. Although it is only a few years old, it has a mellow flavor and tastes a little similar to a century-old wine. This kind of sake is sold in Kamijin Castle, and it seems that it is sold out every day! ”

Ercao Brew and Yunxin have drunk a century-old liquor that is actually the same kind of wine, and even the person who makes the wine has not changed much. It's just that Ercao is a new wine, and the taste is naturally much worse than that of a century-old wine. Yun Xin fell in love with this wine after tasting Ercao Brew, and had already sent someone to find out the purchase channels.

"Huh?" Ercao brewing'? ”

Maier was stunned when he heard this, and immediately remembered Ercao 1 and Ercao 17, who had gone nowhere. He didn't buy the wine himself, but Tal bought it. Tal didn't buy it himself, but sent his men to buy it. So whether it's Maier or Tal, it's not clear what kind of wine is given to Yunxin.

This "Ercao Brew" shouldn't have been made by them, right......

Yun Xin saw Melna's expression like eating a fly, and tilted his head in confusion.

"What's wrong?"

"Uh...... It's okay, it's okay! ”

Mel shook his head again and again, and ate violently with a weak heart. When Yun Xin saw his son's appearance, he knew that he had something to hide from him, but he didn't care, he still drank and looked at Maier as if he were admiring a beautiful work of art. It wasn't until Maier finished lunch and said goodbye and left that she reluctantly took her gaze back.

I can't help it......

Yun Xin pursed her mouth slightly, and her loneliness was overflowing.
