164. Chapter 164
Cheng Muan defended his family and the country in Miaojiang for many years, and finally exchanged for a temporary peace and security.
When Cheng Mu'an returned triumphantly, the entire court was impressed by this "Hong'an", and he was directly promoted by the emperor as a land governor.
Soon, the newly-born Xiaoyue children in the capital had the word "An" embedded in their popular names.
Cheng Muan still lives in Cheng's Mansion in the name of righteousness, because his second sister declares that she and Hong An are sworn sisters and brothers, but after a few days of living Cheng Mu'an is a little annoyed, and the people who come to propose relatives have almost smoothed the threshold of the door, and some people have lined up since he didn't get up in the morning, and the matchmaker has not been separated when he blows out the lamp to sleep at night.
Anyway, there is nothing to do in the imperial court now, Cheng Muan simply said to Liu Kuo for leave, saying that he was aware of the people's feelings, anyway, it was better to go out to travel the mountains and rivers than to be chased to get married.
Liu Kuo agreed to Cheng Mu'an, but asked to report his safety regularly, but he didn't agree that Gu Haojun would go with him, he was busy with government affairs and national affairs every day, but these two went to the mountains and rivers to play in the mountains, of course he was unbalanced.
Liu Kuo's reason for rejecting Gu Haojun is also quite strange, Gu Haojun's son is too young to let him take care of the children at home.
How dare Gu Haojun refuse, holy decree.
Looking at Gu Haojun's aggrieved appearance, Liu Kuo's mood instantly improved.
Cheng Muan didn't bring anyone to follow him, whether it was a scholar or a maid, he didn't need it.
Cheng Mu'an was dressed plainly, carrying a small package with him, plus a jade flute, and went out in style.
He didn't really have any particular place to go, he just wandered around aimlessly.
On this day, Cheng Muan came to a small town, whose name was Baihe Town, because it was close to evening, he found an inn and planned to rest in this town tonight.
Cheng Mu'an put the package into the room, briefly learned about the situation in Baihe Town from the guys at the Yuelai Inn, and walked out.
The town is not big, Cheng Mu'an turned around for a while, and then came to the tavern that the guy highly recommended.
Outside the tavern was a white wine flag, which turned red in the glow of the blood-colored sunset.
As soon as Cheng Muan entered the door, he saw a large counter facing the door, and there was a shopkeeper standing behind him, who was holding the abacus.
There are stairs to the second floor, the second floor is much more elegant than the first floor, there is a large table and a separate private room, Cheng Muan asked for a private room to sit alone, the window of the private room is facing the street, Cheng Muan is used to choosing such a room, he is always willing to recall the first time he met Wen Xiaomiao.
Soon Xiao Er served the meal, Cheng Mu'an ordered a small fried carp, a jade shoot bracken, and a bowl of ham hot and sour soup, although the dishes are not exquisite, but the taste of the dishes is still quite good.
Xiao Er said: "Childe, your dishes are ready, please use it slowly and drink some wine?" The small shop has a new plum wine. ”
"Plum wine?" Cheng Muan didn't plan to drink, but when he heard the name of the wine, he couldn't help but want to taste it.
"Yes, don't worry, our shop is the shopkeeper and goes directly from the winery of Qingquan Villa to pick up the wine, there is absolutely no problem, it is guaranteed to be authentic." Xiao Er thought that Cheng Muan was afraid of adulteration.
Cheng Muan didn't explain, but agreed to ask for a jar of plum blossom wine.
After a while, Xiao Er sent the plum blossom wine to the private room.
The wine jar is very ordinary, that is, the general pottery jar, the plum blossom wine on the round belly is three protruding surfaces, there is no other carving, and then only the seal at the mouth of the wine jar is covered with a few red words of "Qingquan Villa Qingmei Winery Brewing".
Such a simple wine jar is filled with good wine recommended by Xiao Er? Cheng Mu'an was a little curious, he opened the lid of the altar, a familiar fragrance wafted in, and Cheng Mu'an sat on the chair in a daze.
Wen Xiaomiao's voice and smile appeared in front of her again, with a pure smile, bright black eyes, a straight nose, and fair skin, Cheng Mu'an's heart was aching faintly.
He poured out a bowl, took a sip slowly, swallowed slowly, closed his eyes gently, and a familiar feeling came to his face, just like Wen Xiaomiao standing beside him.
Cheng Muan couldn't help but call softly, "Miao Miao." "
The evening breeze blew through the window and brushed Cheng Mu'an's cheeks, he imagined that it was Wen Xiaomiao's gentle thoughtfulness, and this wine made him intoxicated.
Cheng Mu'an drank a full jar of plum blossom wine, and the food was left.
He came to the first floor to find the shopkeeper, first settled the account, and then asked: "Shopkeeper, excuse me, let me inquire, who is the hand of this plum blossom wine?" "
Cheng Mu'an really wanted to meet this winemaker, what kind of person could be so similar to the plum blossom wine brewed by Wen Xiaomiao.
The shopkeeper walked out from behind the counter, looked at Cheng Mu'an with a smile, and said, "This son, it is said that this wine is the exclusive recipe of the young owner of Qingquan Villa. "
"Exclusive formula? No way. Cheng Mu'an does not agree with the exclusive recipe, and his seedlings can also make such plum blossom wine.
When the shopkeeper heard this, he hurriedly asked: "Could it be that the prince also knows how to brew this plum blossom wine?" Do you have this wine too? "
This wine is now in short supply, and due to the influence of the season, it is now priceless and out of stock, if there are other ways to obtain similar plum wine, it can be relieved.
"I won't, but the insiders have made plum wine, and it's almost no different from the one you sell now. Cheng Muan explained.
"Really? Does Childe have a recipe? If it's convenient, can it be sold to me, as for the price is negotiable. The shopkeeper hurriedly asked.
Cheng Muan shook his head, his face naturally showed a trace of sadness, and said, "The inner man died early, and I don't know what the formula is. "
"It's a pity, the sky is jealous, and the son is mourning. The shopkeeper comforted.
"The young owner of this Qingquan Villa is from Wancheng County? Cheng Muan asked.
"I don't know this, this young owner rarely goes out of the village, only knows that the young owner is very fond of his wife, and the others are really unclear, even the beauty and ugliness of everyone has different opinions, some people say that they are as beautiful as a fairy, and some say that they are as ugly as Zhong Wuyan. The shopkeeper smiled.
Cheng Muan also smiled and planned to leave.
A guest officer at the table next to him was very good, looked at Cheng Muan and said, "Ugly? That's a rumor. ”
"Yo, this guest officer has seen the young owner's wife?" The shopkeeper asked.
"Not really." As soon as this man finished speaking, everyone burst into laughter.
"I haven't seen it, how do you know it's a rumor?" The shopkeeper asked again for everyone.
"I really haven't seen this young owner's wife, but I have seen her son, the young owner has taken him to participate in this year's 'Ten Thousand Flowers Festival', although he is still young, but about two years old, but the appearance is already very handsome, as the saying goes, the girl is like a father, and the son is like a mother, which can't be wrong." The guest officer swore and said, "Besides, the young owner of the village is handsome and free, how can he marry an ugly monster and go home." ”
Another interjected: "I also heard that this young lady is very good at embroidery, and the flowers are embroidered like the real one, and they can attract bees and butterflies. ”
Cheng Mu'an's heart moved.
A little girl at the table next to her said disdainfully: "You haven't seen it with your own eyes, how do you know it's true?" It's just hearsay. ”
"Little girl, it's not like I'm talking nonsense, it's the embroidery lady in their embroidery workshop who said it herself." The man was afraid that the little girl would not believe it.
"Isn't that their embroidery shop attracting bees and butterflies every day?" The little girl was even more incredulous.
"The embroidery of the young owner's wife is never taken out, they don't have it there, and of course they can't talk about attracting bees and butterflies." The man said.
The more Cheng Muan listened, the more she looked like Wen Xiaomiao, but she already had a child, so it couldn't be his Miao Miao.
On the second day, Cheng Muan continued to move forward.
He likes places with mountains and rivers, and there is an artistic conception in which he does not know the true face of Lushan, and he has a spirit of being at the top of the mountain when he stands on a high place.
Walking and walking, I unexpectedly came to Qingquan Villa.
If it was in the past, Cheng Muan would have walked over with a glance at the door, but today he was a little interested in wanting to visit.
He strode up the steps and stretched out his hand to knock on the head.
The door opened from the inside, and a family member asked, "Childe, is there something?" ”
"Hong is familiar with the name of Guishan Villa, and I happened to walk to your place today and wanted to visit the owner of Guishan." Cheng Muan is dressed plainly and has an extraordinary temperament, which makes people feel good at first sight.
"That's it, but the owner of the village just happened to go out today, and the young owner is still here, you wait for a while, and I'll report it." Jia Ding said.
"Thank you, thank you." Cheng Muan stood at the door, looking at the scenery at the door with nothing to do.
After a while, the family came back, "Young Master Hong, please come in, the young owner is in the front hall, please come with me." ”
Cheng Mu'an followed the family into the door, the architecture in the village is ingenious and practical, it seems that he has put a lot of thought into it, which is impressive.
The family took Cheng Muan to the door of the front hall, and retreated after a report.
Cheng Mu'an walked in and saw Mo Yuxuan on the chair, he was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that the young owner of Qingquan Villa was him, and his face was as usual.
"Hong has seen the young owner." Cheng Mu'an was neither humble nor arrogant and hugged his fist at Mo Yuxuan.
"Young Master Hong, fortunately, please take a seat." Mo Yuxuan motioned for Cheng Mu'an to sit down.
A maid poured Cheng Mu'an a cup of tea.
Cheng Mu'an changed his voice, but Mo Yuxuan didn't recognize it.
Just as the two of them were talking politely, Xiao Tangyuan ran in from outside the door, followed by a little maid, she knew that there were guests in the front hall, but she accidentally let Xiao Tangyuan sneak in without looking.
When Xiao Tangyuan saw Mo Yuxuan, he hugged his thigh, and muttered: "Tuan Tuan, Tuan Tuan." ”
Tuan Tuan is a puppy, who has been playing with Xiao Tangyuan, unfortunately died of illness two days ago, and Xiao Tangyuan misses it very much.
Mo Yuxuan promised to find another small group for Xiao Tangyuan, but there was no suitable one yet, and Xiao Tangyuan couldn't wait, so he found it.
The little maid was frightened, disturbed the young owner's hospitality, and wanted to hold the little rice balls and leave.
