Guo Song smiled and shook his head, he took the wine glass and drank it all, and said approvingly: "This wine is really good, no wonder it is popular, let me ask you, how much wine is consumed in the Chang'an market in a year, have you investigated?" ”

Zhang Lei said with a bitter face: "I can't find out how much is consumed, but I know that wine accounts for about 20% of the wine market, mainly Gaochang wine, and the price is relatively expensive." ”

Guo Song shook his head, "Where is there any Gaochang wine, Gaochang has been occupied by the Shatuo people, trade has been interrupted, and now the wine on the market is Zhangye wine, which was shipped from Ganzhou, to be honest, the taste of Ganzhou wine is far from being as good as yours, plus you have the golden sign of Meishou wine, and there are sales channels, of course it will be very popular, the key is whether your output can go up, and how do you plan to sell it in the future?" ”

"I haven't thought it all out and want to hear your opinion."

Guo Song nodded, "Wine is the same as other wines, it is divided into three grades, high, medium and low, and you have to use the brand of Meishou wine to firmly occupy the high-grade wine, or use the previous strategy, and then use Lingzhou wine to grab the medium-sized wine market, I believe that I don't need to teach you these things!" ”

Zhang Lei sighed and said: "I also think so, but the problem is that the output is not enough, I can only fight for the high-grade wine market now, when the output is enough, I can enter the medium-sized wine market." ”

"This needs to be patient and wait, this year's grapes in Fengzhou began to be planted, first planted 100 hectares, if it is good, it will be expanded to 500 hectares next year, the Liang family is also expanding the wine cellar, and the output of wine next year will be able to rise."

"I hope so! If there is not enough volume, the medium wine market will not be able to fight it. ”

"How is the fourth child now?" Guo Song filled the two glasses with wine and changed the subject.

"The fourth child is in the Qizhou area, and he was sent over last year, I don't know what to do, I only know that it is very dangerous, and the fourth child has even arranged the future."

Guo Song nodded, Yang Yu went to Qizhou, it should be related to Li Zhengji, so if he assassinated Li Zhengji, it would be too dangerous.

"Let's talk about the Xue family!"

Zhang Lei couldn't help but laugh and said: "I'll tell you something, don't be surprised, Xue Xiaoniang's family is now living in your small mansion in Xuanyangfang." ”

Guo Song was stunned, "Why?" ”

Zhang Lei told Guo Song in detail about Xue Tao's sale of gems, and finally said triumphantly: "I still reacted quickly, thought of the way of leasing gems, and took care of her father's face, which can be described as the best of both worlds, your sister-in-law also likes that little lady very much, and invited her out to drink tea several times, Lao Wu, you really have a good vision." ”

Guo Song picked up his wine glass and said with emotion: "The dignified five-grade official, he was almost kicked out of the house, and he still owes a lot of debts, this official is good enough, but he is also very honest, and he can be regarded as a good official." ”

"Old Five, your sister-in-law and I both think that you should also think about your life's events, you are already twenty-four years old, and it is time to start a family."

"Am I only twenty-four?"

Guo Song smiled dumbly, "How do I feel that I am in my thirties." ”

Zhang Lei glared at him, waved his hand and said: "Don't interrupt your kid, Xue Xiaoniang is very good, you like it yourself, I will let your sister-in-law go to propose, it just so happens that you come back this time, and this matter will be settled." ”

Guo Song shook his head, "I don't know, now that there are forces in the court against me, my energy can't be distracted, and I don't want to think about this kind of thing for the time being." ”

"Then you can give me a word of truth!"

Zhang Lei continued: "To the little lady of the Xue family, do you have that heart? ”

Guo Song was silent for a moment, and finally nodded.

........

"Say you're a dead pig's head, and you still don't admit it!"

Li Wenyu poked her husband's forehead with her finger and said: "I can think that he has money to send such precious gems, and he doesn't take gems seriously, but people have traveled thousands of miles from Fengzhou to send a silver fox shawl back, and this friendship has been written on his face, do you still have to ask him if he has that heart?" Is it necessary to ask about this kind of thing? ”

"Where do I understand this kind of thing, of course I have to ask clearly." Zhang Lei argued unconvinced.

Li Wenyu twisted her husband's flesh ear and asked, "Why don't you understand?" Back then, you sang mountain songs to me all day long, coaxed me around, and eloped with you, and I never heard you howl again after getting married, and I still want to ask you! Why didn't you stop singing after that? ”

"Wasn't it unnecessary later?" Zhang Lei muttered quietly.

"What did you say?"

Li Wenyu's eyebrows were upside down, and he glared at Zhang Lei and said, "Dead fatty, you have the ability to say it again!" ”

Zhang Lei hurriedly hugged the lady and coaxed her with good words: "It's all old husbands and wives, and you still say that these things are so much, you see, I haven't even married a concubine, isn't this more sincere than singing 10,000 mountain songs?" ”

Li Wenyu's smack! He slapped his hand away, stared at Zhang Lei's eyes and said, "What do you mean by this, I can't imagine that you still have the intention of marrying a concubine?" ”

Zhang Lei suddenly leaked his mouth, his heart was furious, and he hurriedly explained: "I'm just giving an example, the sky is above, and I, Zhang Lei, have no intention of marrying a concubine." ”

Li Wenyu sneered twice, "It's useless for the sky to be down, dead fatty, let me tell you, if you dare to marry a concubine, I promise to cut off your little Ding Ding with a sword, I, Li Wenyu, will do what I say, if you don't believe it, you can try." ”

Zhang Lei shuddered, involuntarily clamped his legs, and quickly changed the topic, "We're talking about the fifth child!" Why did it finally come to me, lady, the fifth child is lonely, and there are no relatives and elders, we can only worry about this matter for him, since he expressed his willingness to marry Xue Xiaoniang, then what do you say? ”

I have to say that diverting attention is the best way to deal with women, Zhang Lei knows this well, as long as there is a situation that is not favorable to him, he will quickly divert his wife's attention, and he has tried many times.

Li Wenyu let her husband go for the time being, she glared at Zhang Lei fiercely, and thought for a while: "I know Xue Xiaoniang very well, don't look at her gentle and lovely, but her personality is very independent and strong, her feelings are deep, and she will not be easily revealed, I estimate that she is also very affectionate to the fifth brother, since both of them are already in love with each other, the key is how to pierce this piece of paper?"

I think so, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, I will test her, and then create an opportunity for them to stay alone, and after a long time, they will naturally fall into place. ”

Zhang Lei continued to distract his wife, "What about the parents of Little Lady Wen?" Her life's events will ultimately be decided by her parents! ”

Li Wenyu had completely forgotten that Zhang Lei mentioned marrying a concubine, she lowered her head and thought about it: "Xue Tao's father is more open-minded and generally respects his daughter's opinions, but her mother is more snobbish, of course, the fifth child is very good, and now her mother is willing, I am afraid that someone with better conditions will appear, I am afraid that her mind will be diverted." ”

"Isn't that ingratitude?" Zhang Lei said with some annoyance.

Li Wenyu sneered and said, "Are there still few ungrateful people these days? If her mother thinks differently, I'm not surprised at all, in fact, it's not a big problem, the key is that Xue Tao himself is strong-willed, don't worry about this matter, let's take our time. ”

"It's still a lady's wisdom!"

Zhang Lei slapped his wife on the back, he felt that it was time to withdraw, so he laughed and said: "I'll go to see Ah Cub, I guess the little guy woke up." ”

He had just taken two steps, but his ears were grabbed by Li Wenyu, and Li Wenyu sneered: "Didn't you just say that you wanted to marry a concubine?" Let's talk a little bit more about that. ”

........

Early the next morning, Guo Song changed into a court uniform and came to the imperial city, he had to come to the military department to register, in fact, the local Jiedu envoys were not allowed to enter the court without the imperial court summons, but Guo Song's level could not reach the Jiedu envoys, although he returned to the court without authorization, but it was not a big problem.

However, one thing is certain, he must go to the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of War to register, to let the court know that he has returned to the court, and can find him at any time, to register in the Ministry of Officials is to return to the court as the history of the Fengzhou Thorn, and to register in the Ministry of War is to return to the court as a strategic envoy of the Three Towns.

As soon as he walked into the gate of the Ministry of War, Guo Song met his acquaintance Liu Ji in the Ministry of War, and Liu Ji was promoted to Langzhong after Yuan Zai's henchmen were purged, in charge of the Department of Driving.

"Guo Yuanjun, when did you come back?" Liu Ji greeted him with a smile.

"I just arrived yesterday, and I heard that Brother Liu was promoted, congratulations!"

Liu Ji smiled and waved his hand, "This is last year's thing, what are you congratulating on now?" However, Guo Lingjun's promotion to the official position is very fast, which is enviable. ”

"It's all drudgery, what's there to envy, I'm going to register with the department, I don't know where?"

"I'll take you there, Guo Yuanjun's speed is really fast......"

Liu Ji suddenly stopped and wondered: "That's not right! How could it be so fast, didn't Guo Yuanjun enter Beijing according to the order? ”

Guo Song was also a little confused, "Could it be that the imperial court decreed that I should enter Beijing?" ”

Liu Ji nodded, "The decree was made only four days ago, and the proclamator set off four days ago at the earliest, so it seems that he missed the envoy." ”

Guo Song had a bad feeling, what did it mean that the imperial court had summoned himself to Beijing at this time?
