Lu Ran looked at Tan Sanniang's back amusedly, was silent for a moment, fell back on the rattan chair, closed his eyes and slowly sorted out the slightly chaotic thoughts, and sat up from the rattan chair for a long time, with a warm and bright smile on his face, and the little girl in the building came over and ordered: "You be smart, go to the garden and watch Mr. O'clock, don't drink too much wine - hey, forget it, you just look at the empty space and quietly ask Mr. to see if Mr. is resting in Baohe Building or elsewhere today." ”

Shuang'er got the order, his eyes were bright and he agreed, smiled and bent his knees at Lu Ran, and went to the pear orchard quickly, and after a while, he turned back, and said with a crooked smile at the corner of his eyes: "Mr. Zhong didn't drink a few glasses of wine, but he was in excellent spirits at this time, and he was laughing with a few adults in the Surabaya Pavilion." Mr. said that he came by car, and after a while, he took the car directly to Zhuangzi outside the city to rest, and also said that he was going to Fu'an Temple to find Master Wu for tea in the morning. ”

"yes, I see." Lu Ran smiled and nodded, "While there are many people here, we should also go back, you can talk to Shopkeeper Wan for me." As he spoke, he motioned to Hongrui to hand over the hat and put it on, and was led down from the attic by Shuang'er, bypassing the courtyard full of bright snow red, quietly going out of the corner gate of Baohe and Lou, and taking the car to Luoxia Courtyard.

The pear orchard has drunk to the tenth stop of drinking, because of the noble text, a group of literati do not have much heart to taste wine and write poems, they are secretly talking about this unprecedented joke, and even more, directly wrote a metaphorical and ironic poem, which won the applause of the whole house.

Li Shaoqing laughed with everyone and glanced at the shopkeeper. Wenhui has a reputation here, and he has benefited from it. As for the scandal of the Wen family, it's better to let these heroes go home and talk about it!

The shopkeeper of Wan understood, and hurriedly signaled a group of little girls to accept everyone's poems and songs, and presented them to several gentlemen in the Surabaya Pavilion to taste it, and then set a one, two, three, or four out, and announced the top prize wine of today's wine competition - Yan Xuehong.

Xu Shiheng nodded with satisfaction, looked around the garden again, and hummed at the shopkeeper in a very good mood: "Your owner will be ingratious!" The name of this wine is the same as the flower in the courtyard, no wonder it led us to see it first, but it turned out that it was not in vain! ”

"Ouch, it's a shame that the second master has seen through this little thought!" The shopkeeper Wan hurriedly bowed his hand to beg for mercy, smiled humbly, and politely arched his hand to the people in the courtyard, and thanked him sincerely, "Today's wine is good in its own way, whether it is Yan Xuehong or other wines, anyway, let this rough man see that ten kinds of wine, all of them are good wines." It was also stained with the light of the Wenhui, and I was able to afford it. In the future, these ten kinds of wine will be offered in Baohelou, if you drink it well, please appreciate your face. As he spoke, he greeted the merchants sitting down.

The wealthy businessmen and magnates who came to participate in the competition were all happy and hurriedly got up to return the salute. There is a sequence of rankings, Baohelou is the proprietor of today, and the wine is indeed excellent, and it is naturally expected by everyone to take the first place. Other wines don't necessarily don't get benefits - every wine today has a lot of poems, and the good words and sentences here are not just gimmicks?

After a literary meeting, not only the celebrities were satisfied, the students from all over the world praised it, and even the businessmen were full of praise with smiles on their faces. Because of this cultural meeting, Baohelou became famous, and literati from all over the world praised Baohelou, and respected Lu Yu, the magistrate of Huai'an County, and even Li Shaoqing, the prefect who was born in the north, was a little more satisfied.

With the fame of Baohelou spreading, naturally, there was also the joke made by Wen Qinggui, the uncle of the Wen family, which spread ten or ten hundreds, so that the children in the market could say one, two, three.

At the beginning of the unitary period, Song Mingshan shook his fan, and followed Wei Jingyan back to Qingfeng Building with slightly drunken eyes.

Wei Jingyan waved his hand to let Shopkeeper Yue pour a cup of tea, motioned for Song Mingshan to sit, tapped his fingers on the armrest, and muttered for a moment, Fang Yang called Zhou Chuan into the house to reply.

Zhou Chuan bowed down and entered the door of the house, knelt directly on the ground, and pleaded guilty with a blank face: "Master, the little incompetent, I didn't wait to find out the exact news." After a pause, seeing that Wei Jingyan's face was not worried, but with a bit of indescribable appreciation, Zhou Chuan's eyebrows jumped, he was busy gathering his mind, and lowered his head and said everything he had heard, "The little one went to check the record of the government first, and the title deeds and deeds of Baohe Building were recorded in the name of a person named Zhao Yanping." In Huai'an County, there are only two people named Zhao Yanping, one is a teacher who doesn't know anything about general affairs at all, and the other is an old village head who has never done business for half his life. As for the other places, the small ones have already been inquired about, and there is no news back at this time. ”

"The shopkeeper of Baohe Building, Wan Shengda, also checked carefully. This Wan Shengda is an orphan, he has never started a family in his life, his ancestral home was originally in Xiangnan, and he only settled in Longxi in the nineteenth year of Longyuan, from a sesame oil shop to the big shopkeeper, and then changed several owners. In the fifth year of Yongqing, Wan Shengda was sent to Huai'an County to manage a cloth shop, according to the old man of the cloth shop, the proprietor's surname was Wei, and his identity has not been ascertained. In the seventeenth year of Yongqing, Wan Shengda opened a restaurant in Shiting County, and managed it until the twenty-fifth year of Yongqing, and then rested at home for two years due to poor spirits. In August of the twenty-seventh year of Yongqing, Wanshengda returned to Huai'an County to take over Baohelou. Listening to the guys in the building and the regulars, the owner of this Baohe Building seems to be not very old, Wan Shengda is very convinced of it, but he never mentions the family history of the owner. ”

When Zhou Chuan said this, he paused for a moment, his eyes were a little more strange, and he continued after consideration: "The little girl in the building also leaked a message, saying that Wan Shengda has a distant niece who occasionally goes to Baohe Building. The little one checked for a long time and couldn't find out the identity of this niece. That is, on the morning of the third day of the ninth month, someone saw a carriage outside the city enter the back door of Baohe Building, and then went to the Luoxia Courtyard on East Street. The little one asked someone, and the Luoxia Courtyard is now where Lu Yu, the magistrate of Huai'an County, lives with his sister. ”

"Lu Yu?" When Song Mingshan heard this, he woke up most of the time, let out a low sigh, and hurriedly turned his head to look at Wei Jingyan, and then paused suddenly, twisted his eyebrows and was silent for a moment, and denied it first, "Listening to Wan Shengda's tone, it doesn't look like Lu Yu." I just asked the shopkeeper Yue, Baohelou has been open in Longxi for more than 20 years, and the shopkeeper of the owner has changed several times. The most recent time, it seems to have been changed after the Mid-Autumn Festival in the twenty-seventh year of Yongqing, which is also in line with Zhou Chuancha's. Since then, the business of Po Wo Lou has been getting better and better day by day. But the shopkeeper Yue also said before that in March of the twenty-seventh year of Yongqing, Lu Yu's stewards also asked people to resell the shops in their hands...... It's been less than half a year in the middle, could it be that Lu Yu suddenly got the hang of it? Unlikely! ”
