Chapter Seventy-Nine: Showdown?
In the blink of an eye, it was the time of spring flowers, and in the past few years, Wang Jizu has received the devilish training of the old man on the landing, and it was said that it was two months at the beginning, but it turned out that it was twenty-one months later before he barely reached the three conditions that very people can meet. The old man didn't say it, in fact, he was happy to fly, originally he just raised it indiscriminately in order to embarrass the Yi family boy, but he didn't expect this Wang Jizu to be a backbone child with extraordinary perseverance to meet the requirements, although the time was greatly exceeded, but it was also commendable.
Min'er's nose is quite sensitive now, and she can smell every jar of wine that Yi Jun'an gave her, which makes Old Man Lu so excited that he wants to accept Min'er as his closed disciple, but unfortunately Min'er didn't feel cold and refused directly, which made the old man extremely depressed, but he didn't force it.
Now the eleven-year-old Ling'er has completely changed, and now she lives in a simple place like a lady, if you don't know her, people will think that she is a young lady from a big family, and she shows an elegant demeanor between her gestures. In fact, these are all appearances, only those who know her know that she is still the same spirit as before, but she is no longer bouncing, and her temperament is still the same character.
Yi Junan has never appeared in front of Min'er since he met him once at the Inn, and there has been no news of him until now, as if there is no such person at all. No one in the Zhao family would mention him, because he was Min'er's taboo, and no one even dared to mention him behind his back.
"Miss Ling, what are you reading today?" Qiao'er asked, standing in front of the bookshelf.
"Find a travelogue." Ling'er didn't raise her head and continued to write, she now has her own study, which Min'er spent a lot of money to compensate her. These things are all exchanged for her freedom at the expense of her freedom, but she is not angry at all but happy, what about having such a sister who loves her and being the lady she wants? In this era, the fate of individual women is not necessarily good.
"Miss Ling, do you see this business?" Qiao'er handed the book in her hand to Ling'er, Ling'er will open a page and there will be a knock on the door, Qiao'er went out for a while and came in and said:
"Miss Ling, Aunt Liu wants to see you, it seems to be about Miss Min." As soon as Ling'er heard this, she immediately invited her in, and the Liu family is now her housekeeper and rarely comes to her.
"Did something happen to Aunt Liu?" Min'er protects Ling'er very well, and she usually worries about solving things at home, and she mostly reports good news to Ling'er.
"Miss Ling, this shouldn't have come to you, but Miss Min couldn't listen to it." The Liu family treats the two sisters as if they were their own children.
"It's okay, Aunt Liu has something to say, but it's okay to say it." Although Ling'er is eleven years old on the surface, she is actually a mature woman at heart, and she has not shown it in the past few years in order not to make people suspicious. After Min'er's training, she completely shows her mature side and will not be seen as inappropriate.
"Miss Min is eighteen years old this year, and it's time to talk about marriage." Although the head of this family is Zhao He, in fact, the real person in charge is Min'er.
"Aunt Liu, I understand what you mean, I'll mention this matter to my sister." Only then did Ling'er realize that a woman of eighteen is considered an older age in this era, and she is usually married at the age of sixteen.
After sending Liu away, Ling'er was in no mood to read at all, she knew the bitterness in Min'er's heart for so many years, but she really didn't know how to untie her heart knot. Today's visit made her realize the seriousness of the matter for the first time, she can't let Min'er be delayed by a dream, Min'er loves her, she naturally wants to love Min'er. In the past, she was always afraid that people would find out that she was different, but now she is no longer weak-hearted, she is Zhao Ling'er, a Zhao Ling'er who knows many things that others don't know, anyway, there are thousands of books in her study, which is a good excuse.
"Qiao'er, the weather is good today, let's go out for a walk." Ling'er took Qiao'er to the first living room, where Min'er was talking to Jiang Weichen about cooperation. Since Wang Jizu recognized Lu Rong as his teacher, Min'er built a winery for them on the edge of the deer farm, and there is no official large-scale wine-making yet.
"Miss Min, this wine shop also has half of yours, and it's very difficult for me to do this." Jiang Weichen came today because he heard about her building a wine factory.
"Miss Min, Miss Ling is here." Lan Xin said softly.
"Oh? Ask her in. Min'er was very puzzled why Ling'er came to the front.
"I've seen Uncle Jiang, I've seen my sister." After Ling'er came in, she saw Jiang Weichen and greeted him, her every move was like flowing water, she didn't look like an eleven-year-old girl at all, just like a girl with the youth of a girl and the charm of a woman but not enchanting. I really can't find a suitable adjective, which is a contradictory but incomparably harmonious combination.
"Miss Ling, I can't imagine that I won't see anything extraordinary in a few years." Jiang Weichen almost didn't recognize him.
"Uncle Jiang praised, how can Ling'er be so good, I don't know why Uncle Jiang came here today?" Ling'er felt that Min'er didn't want to get married, firstly because of that dream, and on the other hand, it should be because she didn't worry about her family, so she had to let Min'er rest assured.
"I heard that Miss Min has built a new winery, so I came to ask." Jiang Weichen was very dissatisfied with this matter.
"I built this new winery, but people outside didn't know the inside story and said it was my sister's. But then again, even if it was built by my sister, right? There are more than a thousand wineries in the world, and Uncle Jiang can say anything he can't figure out. Ling'er's performance made Min'er feel very pleased.
"The Jiang Family Distillery belongs to both of us, how can you have a reason to start anew?" Jiang Weichen thought that he was completely reasonable.
"Uncle Jiang, our contract does not say that we can't build a new winery, and besides, all the tonic wine sold in our shop is not in conflict with the Jiang family winery. Therefore, there is no impact on the Jiang Family Distillery, and the amount set by our workshop to the Jiang Family Distillery every month will not change, and everything will be in accordance with the contract. To be honest, we plan to open a shop in the prefecture, so we may open one or several more sake breweries in the prefecture or in the county in the future. Ling'er's words shocked Jiang Weichen all of a sudden, he always thought that the two sisters couldn't play without him, you must know that their tonic wine is very popular in the town.
"Hasn't the taste of the wine changed?" He was puzzled.
"Uncle Jiang must also know that our tonic wine is divided into three, six, nine and so on, and we didn't use one kind of wine in the first place, so we have sold wine in other wineries for so many years." Min'er said that he just didn't come to her today, she was going to go to the wine shop, and he happened to come to the door by himself.
"Is there such a thing? So why don't you say it? It's not that our winery can't make wine? "Jiang Weichen has suspected that they are drinking from others for many years, and today it is confirmed.
"Uncle Jiang, to be honest, there are no fools in this world, you know much better than us how we have cooperated over the years. You must know better than us who have never been to the farmhouse, right? I, Zhao Min'er, have never been hanged from a tree when I do things, where can I go without a back road? Min'er's words were like five thunderbolts, which scorched Jiang Weichen on the outside and tender on the inside.
"This, this ......" he really couldn't say why, in the past few years, he has been secretly selling the best wine in the winery to Yipinju, the largest restaurant in the county, but he didn't expect that this matter would be discovered by them.
"Uncle Jiang, how we cooperated in the past and how we will cooperate in the future, this has nothing to do with whether we build another winery, can you understand if I say this?" Min'er stopped talking after concluding, Jiang Weichen nodded and left in understanding, but his back looked very lonely.
"Sister, how did he know about the new wine shop?" Ling'er asked.
"I asked Youzhi to pretend to leak it to him unintentionally, anyway, sooner or later, he will know, it's better to listen to me than to listen to other people's nonsense." Min'a felt tired.
"Sister, I'm not like you think, and I can help you share it." Ling'er must let Min'er realize her abilities, otherwise she will not feel at ease to live her own life.
"I know that my Ling'er is the smartest, and it was your idea to make a living in our family for so many years." Min'er now finally understands why Ling'er appeared at this time, and it seems that Aunt Liu went to find her.
"Sister, are you still thinking about him?" Ling'er asked cautiously, thinking that Min'er would be angry, but she didn't expect her to be very calm.
"Why think about him? Have you forgotten what I said to your brother? If he doesn't come back, I won't marry, that's my belief. Min'er never told anyone about what happened in those two days and two nights, although they didn't behave against each other, but the change in their hearts was huge.
"Sister, I don't want to stay in the backyard every day anymore, I want to come out to help you, whether you marry or not, I have to be self-reliant, and living is the most important thing compared to being a lady." Ling'er's words surprised Min'er very much, it seems that her little Ling'er has finally grown up.
"You're in charge of the workshop?" Min'er asked.
"Sister, I want to go to the county to have a look, let's go to the county to open a shop." Ling'er felt that only by having more contact with people could Min'er meet the right person.
"Okay, I'll arrange it, let's leave for the county to open a shop as soon as possible, this time I will leave it to you to be responsible, do you have confidence?" Min'er was moved all of a sudden, she was almost annoyed by her father and Aunt Liu for a while, and she could be quiet and quiet when she went to the county.
"Of course, sister, let's wait and see." Ling'er said confidently.
