Text Chapter 372 Hanfu Wine Tasting
On 17 May, Wenjin County became lively, and from time to time there were ornately decorated carriages passing by at the four gates of the city wall, converging towards the Han Mansion in the south of the city, and the high-rollers on high-headed horses galloped noisily from the streets of the county town under the escort of many samurai, causing the lively people to talk about it.
The government dispatched officials to maintain order, and someone learned the news from the mouth of the officials that the wine in Old Man Han's farm was ripe and he feasted friends from all over the world. Old man Han has a wide range of friends, and it is well known that all the people who came today are friends of the old man, and I heard that the new Lord Thorn will also come to visit.
The history of Jiang Thorn, which everyone was talking about excitedly, had already entered the city from the east gate accompanied by Wang Huaizhong, Wenjin County was more lively than three years ago, and the invasion of the Western Regions had no impact on this county, but there were more begging people on both sides of the street.
Jiang Anyi frowned slightly, An Min's notice had already been posted, adult displaced people could receive ten acres of land from the government, and the government would provide grain and cattle, but why would these people rather beg than return to their hometowns to save themselves?
The road approaching Hanfu became congested, and the convoy ahead formed a long queue. Jiang Anyi took An Yong, Xinfei, Siyu and Shi Shi on this trip, and only selected twenty personal guards to accompany him, after all, he came to visit Old Man Han, and it seemed a little disrespectful to bring more than 100 personal guards.
Jiang Anyi and the others all rode horses and came to the gate of the Han Mansion with difficulty under the guidance of Wang Huaizhong. The flat ground in front of the door was full of carriages and horses, and there were servants in Tsing Yi sweating profusely directing the carriages and horses to gallop into the distance. Jiang Anyi saw that these cars were made of precious wood, the windows were covered with silk, and some were even inlaid with glass, and the horses pulling the carts were actually three points more majestic than the war horses ridden by his own guards, and the horsemen who drove the cars were wearing brocade clothes and looked majestic.
"There are a lot of rich people", Jiang Anyi said with emotion: "Uncle Wang, I remember that the last time I came was the sixtieth birthday of Old Man Han, and today's meeting is no worse than that time." ”
Along the way, Wang Huaizhong said many times, let Jiang Tingshi call him by his name or call him Lao Wang, Jiang Anyi smiled and said that he had a slight relationship with him, not to mention that Uncle Wang had helped him back then, and he couldn't treat others with snobbery. Wang Huaizhong saw that Jiang Anyi's words were also sincere, so he no longer insisted, but every time he heard Uncle Wang's call, he still felt very warm in his heart.
"My lord, Huazhou and the Western Regions are traded, and there are naturally many rich people. If nothing else, half of the family has caravan shops in Huazhou. Wang Huaizhong said and jumped off the horse, and said, "My lord, please wait, I will inform the old man to greet him." ”
The last time I came to the Han Mansion from the corner gate, this time the gate was opened, and the old man Han came out of the gate with his grandson, walked down the steps quickly, and bowed to Jiang Anyi: "Lord Thorn Shi is coming to the cold house, it is really brilliant, please come inside." ”
Jiang Anyi of the Han family has a respect, and Jiang Anyi does not dare to be disrespectful to this old man who breaks the family and resists the enemy, and bows down with his fists and says: "Old man, I haven't seen you for a few years, my body is good, Anyi has long wanted to come to visit, but I am entangled in mundane affairs, and I am free today, and I hope that the old man will forgive his sins." ”
"Your Excellency is polite, please come inside", Han Yuanshi took Jiang Anyi's arm and let him in. The house is very lively, not at all less than the last birthday greeting, and people constantly come forward to greet the old man Han to talk, from the gate to the main hall actually walked a cup of tea.
In front of the hall, Jiang Anyi's footsteps paused slightly, and he looked up at the golden plaque under the eaves, and the "loyalty and righteousness full of doors" of the royal pen were golden and dazzling. Jiang Anyi bowed his hand to the plaque, and then followed Han Yuanshi into the hall. Jiang Anyi had the impression that the hall of the main house of the Han family was spacious, three points larger than the lobby of the mansion, and there were forty or fifty people sitting in the hall.
Jiang Anyi smiled and gestured to the left and right, followed Han Yuanshi forward, there were a few old men sitting in the front positions, and they didn't get up with everyone, and when they saw Jiang Anyi looking over, they nodded and smiled reservedly.
"Master Jiang, this is Ning Shilang's father, Mrs. Ning, this is the former Jin Wuwei Zhonglang General Ma......"
After a circle of introduction, Jiang Anyi found that everyone present was either rich or noble, and there were no less than ten people in the family who were members of the four grades, and the Liu, Lin, Liu, and Lu families in the top ten families were all in charge. Jiang Anyi's heart was dark, the power of the Han Mansion should not be underestimated, is Old Man Han demonstrating to himself?
There are acquaintances in the seat, Zhenxi male Hua Zheng, Jiang Anyi said with a smile: "When did Lord Hua arrive, I knew that it was better to come together, and there were many companions on the road." ”
Hua Zheng returned the salute with a smile and said respectfully: "Hua arrived yesterday, and I still have some business matters with the old man, so I came a day early, and Lord Shi has every opportunity, and Hua doesn't dare to disturb easily." ”
The two of them laughed and laughed, and they couldn't see the mustard of the court a few days ago, but Han Caizhu, who was standing behind Old Man Han, looked at Jiang Anyi with a little anger.
Two chairs were placed in front of him, Han Wonshi invited Jiang Anyi and Xinfei to sit down, and An Yong, Siyu and Shi stood behind the two. Xin Fei and Si Yu both changed into men's clothes, Jiang Anyi introduced his wife Xin Fei to Old Man Han when he got started, Han Yuanshi knew that the wife of Lord Assassin Shi was a great character, and from the bottom of his heart, he was a little more interested than Jiang Tingshi.
An old man with a long beard was explaining the origin of wine to everyone," ...... During the Ming Emperor period of the Great Wei Dynasty, Wei Po Zaichang State harvested mare's milk grapes, and captured its winemaking artists, making their own wine, and remembering the record in the "History of Wei": brewing as wine, willing to qu mile, good drunk and easy to wake up ......".
Seeing that Jiang Anyi was fascinated by what he heard, Han Yuanshi turned sideways and introduced to Jiang Anyi: "Su Lao is a famous man in Huazhou, and he once wrote the famous sentence 'Guanshan is flying snow, and the beacon fire is smokeless', which is praised by the world, I don't know if I have ever heard of Jiang Thorn History?" ”
Jiang Anyi exclaimed: "Su Chenchang Su Lao, of course I know, I have also read his "Saiwai Song", and I don't want to meet Su Lao here." ”
Su Chenchang stopped talking, nodded to Jiang Anyi with a smile, and said: "Su Mou has long heard of Lord Thorn Shi, the champion of Sanyuan and the first, poetry and song are rare, Su Mou likes the work of "Burrow Inscription" very much, and copied it and hung it in the study. It's really a blessing to see an adult in Old Man Han's mansion today. Mr. Han invited me to write a poem for today's cocktail party, and with the adults in front, how dare Su put pen to paper. ”
As he spoke, he saw a servant rolling in four wooden barrels, Jiang Anyi saw that the barrels were three feet high and three feet in diameter, all of which were made of oak. Jiang Anyi heard Xinfei say that the wine can be served in oak to make the wine taste richer and mellow, and it can also exude a fragrance similar to hazelnuts.
Huazhou real estate grapes, but the farmers don't even have enough food to eat, how can they waste the fields to plant, only a powerful family like Hanfu, who does not worry about eating and drinking, and has good land, will plant a large number of them. Grapes are rare for most people, not to mention using grapes to make wine, there are merchants from the Western Regions selling wine in the eastern market of the Yongchang Imperial Capital, which is worth two taels of gold per catty, that is, forty taels of silver, which is several times more expensive than the Jiang family's burning knife.
Jiang Anyi drank wine in Tulejia when he was in Shasu Kingdom, and he didn't like the sweet and sour taste, but it was scarce and expensive, thinking that the wine he drank was expensive, even if it was sour and astringent, it was as fragrant as tea.
"Use a glass cup to drink wine", Han Yuanshi smiled and clapped his hands, Han Caizhu took out a leather box from the back hall and put it on the table, which was a complete set of glass cups. The glass is imported from the Western Regions, and the "Ming Tile" above Jiang Anyi's villa winery is made of Liuli, and dozens of Ming Tiles cost 100,000 taels of silver, which really makes Jiang Anyi's heart ache. Look at the glazed cup in the Hanfu box, the color is like flowing clouds, crystal clear, dazzling, the quality is far above those "Ming tiles", this box of glazed cups is about hundreds, it is estimated that there are no four or five hundred thousand taels of silver can not be taken.
Si Yu's eyes were shining again, and he couldn't wait to step forward and grab it for himself, while Jiang Anyong and Shishi's attention was on the wine taken out of the oak barrel, the red wine syrup was like blood, and it was placed in a glass cup that was pale red, light green, or orange, and it was brilliant and beautiful.
The servant carefully brought the glass cup containing the wine to the guest with a tray, Jiang Anyi stretched out his hand to take the wine for Xinfei first, and then took it himself, his eyes inadvertently swept in front of the servant who served the wine, and let out a soft snort. Han Yuanshi smiled and asked, "Master Jiang, what's wrong?" ”
Jiang Anyi took the glass cup casually, and said with a smile: "This wine is actually different in color in different colors of glass cups, it is not interesting, Jiang is rare and strange, I hope the old man will forgive me." ”
The servant glanced up at Jiang Anyi, a trace of panic flashed in his eyes, and he held up the tray in disguise, and held the wine cup to Jiang Anyong and the others who were standing.
Of course, the purpose of Han Yuanshi's cocktail party was not simply to taste wine, and when Jiang Anyi drank all the wine in the cup, Han Yuanshi also put down the wine glass in his hand and asked with a smile: "Master Jiang, this wine is not to taste." There are a lot of them in the old man's village, and when the adults go back, they might as well bring a few jars and let the adults in the government also taste them. ”
A barrel of wine is at least 50 catties, worth more than 1,000 taels of silver, and Han Yuanshi casually sent a few barrels, which deserves the reputation of "high righteousness". Jiang Anyi couldn't refuse, so he had to nod and agree.
Seeing Jiang Anyi accept the gift, the smile on Han Yuanshi's face became even happier, and said: "I am an old friend with the adult, three years ago, the adult came to pay tribute to the old man's birthday, and the old man did not entertain him well, and he hoped to forgive his sins." Drink this cup full, and you will be an old man's companion. ”
Jiang Anyi didn't even dare to say it, so he raised his glass accordingly, and the two of them drank it all.
"My lord, last time you had a misunderstanding with the Weiyuan Dart Bureau, I heard Brother Luo say that this time the Weiyuan Dart Bureau delivered goods to Washington, and was inadvertently implicated in the human trafficking case. The old man didn't dare to ask the adults for favoritism, but only asked the adults to find out the truth as soon as possible, so that the people in the dart game could return home as soon as possible. My brother Naluo originally wanted to come to you to confess the sin, but there were many people, and the old man was afraid that the adults would be angry, so he simply made his own decisions and said a thing or two for him in front of the adults. Han Yuanshi stretched out his hand and stroked his beard, and pleaded solemnly with a solemn face.
Han Yuanshi did not speak for Washington, but started from Weiyuan Dart Bureau, which made Jiang Anyi a little surprised. When he came to Han Mansion, he was ready for Han Yuanshi to intercede for Washington, and he also prepared his rhetoric in advance, who knew that Han Yuanshi took the winger, which made Jiang Anyi difficult to parry for a while.
After a moment's moment, Jiang Anyi immediately smiled and said: "The case in Washington is basically clear, but I was in a hurry to visit Mr. Han so I didn't send it, and when I go back, I will definitely send it as soon as possible, please rest assured that the old man will never dare to wronged a good person." ”
Han Yuanshi's eyes darkened, Jiang Anyi's words did not leak, but he did not have any promises, his intercession just now fell into the void, it seems that this Jiang Thorn Shi does not intend to give himself face. Han Yuan was silent, raised his glass to persuade everyone in the hall to drink, and the hall was full of laughter and joy. ()
