The eastern part of Guangfu City is a famous wine-making resort, where there are almost all wineries and wine shops, and there is a small but extremely elegant mansion that is particularly outstanding, and the word "Jiangfu" is engraved on the plaque of the mansion.

Jiangfu is located in the most secluded part of Dongcheng District, the mansion is divided into two courtyards, east and west, front and back two halls, the east courtyard is the residence of the owner, and the west courtyard is the place where the people live and store wine.

At this time, it is mid-spring in February, the back garden of the east courtyard of Jiangfu is full of flowers, a hundred flowers are blooming, the red and green bloom their delicate state, and the scenery of spring can be seen everywhere, which has eliminated a lot of the smell of wine permeating the Dongcheng District.

After returning from outside, Jiang Xiaobai looked at a book called "Travels in the World" on the bookcase in his house. This is a book written by a strange man after traveling around the world, and it records many strange things in this world. Jiang Xiaobai accidentally found this book a few days ago, and when he saw the novelty of the content, he brought it back to his room, and he was completely attracted by the content of the book in the past few days, and what interested him the most was the history of the Yue Kingdom recorded in this book.

Jiang Xiaobai's Yue Kingdom is a century-old dynasty located at the southern tip of the Central Plains, and the Yue Kingdom is divided into six counties in the north and south, and Lingnan County, where Guangfu City is located, is the southernmost county in the Yue Kingdom. In addition to Vietnam, there are three kingdoms of Yan, Liang and Montenegro on this continent, which are located in the north, northwest and southwest of Yue respectively.

When the Yue Kingdom was not established, the southern end of the Central Plains was ruled by the princes left over from the previous dynasty. At this time, a prince named Yue Hao couldn't bear to see the people suffer anymore, so he united with the major Jianghu sects, with the help of the power of the rivers and lakes, leveled the other princes, and unified the southern end of the Central Plains to establish the Yue Kingdom.

At this point, the Yue Kingdom has a deep relationship with the rivers and lakes, that is, more than half of the ten heroes of the founding of the country recorded in the Xuyan Pavilion of the Imperial Palace are people from the rivers and lakes. Over the past hundred years, the land of Yue has been full of all kinds of masters of the rivers and lakes, and their whereabouts are mysterious and their skills are even more extraordinary. Just like Ah Qi, who was following Jiang Xiaobai, an entourage was not weaker than him, a professionally trained special elite, which made him feel very surprised. According to Ah Qi, he only studied with a martial artist in the rivers and lakes for two years, which is nothing, there are more people in the rivers and lakes who are more powerful than him, which makes Jiang Xiaobai very eager to see and learn.

Jiang Xiaobai was looking at it energetically, and suddenly there was a knock on the door in his ears, "Young Master, I'm not here." After getting up and opening the door, I saw a middle-aged man with a rich figure standing at the front door of the corridor, this is the scholar who followed Jiang Xiaobai's father when he was young, and is now the housekeeper of Jiang Mansion, and everyone in the mansion calls him "Jiang Bo"

"Uncle Jiang, is there anything you are looking for me?" Jiang Xiaobai asked.

Jiang Bo hurriedly said: "The master has something to look for you, and he is now waiting in the study."

"Daddy looking for me?" Jiang Xiaobai was stunned, he had the impression that this father was busy with wine shop, and he rarely saw him except for eating, let alone this private exchange, it was a big deal. Jiang Xiaobai asked again, "Do you know what's going on?"

Jiang Bo smiled and said, "If you don't say anything about the master, I don't dare to ask." Young master, go quickly, don't let the master wait."

Jiang Xiaobai didn't dare to slack off, and walked to the study after straightening his clothes. At this time, it was already dusk and evening, Jiang Xiaobai Xindao unconsciously read a book for an afternoon, and when he saw that the sky was getting dark, he quickened his pace.

Walking to the study, Jiang Xiaobai knocked lightly on the door, and a low voice came from inside: "It's Xiaobai, right?" Come on in"

Jiang Xiaobai pushed open the door, and immediately smelled the strong smell of calligraphy and ink, and after entering the door, he turned around and closed the door, and then walked inside. Along the way, you will find huge bookshelves filled with books on wine.

The inner room is an elegant little room, antique, and one person is sitting behind a mahogany desk, holding a book in one hand, looking at something. This person is over forty years old, and his appearance is somewhat similar to Jiang Xiaobai, and his eyes are full of shrewdness, this is Jiang Xun, the founder of Jiang's Distillery.

Seeing Jiang Xiaobai come in, Jiang Xun put down the book and raised his head and said, "Do you know the batch of wine brewed in the winery recently?" ”

"Know"

The batch of wine that Jiang Xun said is a new batch of wine brewed in Jiang's winery recently, which has cost the Jiang family a lot of effort and invested all the manpower and material resources in the winery, and both the quantity and quality of wine are the most in the winery in recent years.

"Well, this batch of wine has taken a lot of effort from the winery, and it will be out of the cellar in two days" Jiang Xun rubbed his head, looking quite tired, and said: "Many restaurants in the city are interested in this batch of wine, and I am looking for you this time because I want you to bring samples to talk about this business with the Zhang family tomorrow."

"Daddy.. Jiang Xiaobai was surprised and said in surprise, "Such an important matter, the child is afraid of inexperience and delays."

Jiang Xun smiled and said calmly: "You don't have to be too nervous, Daddy has been unwell for the past few days, so I want you to go on behalf of the winery." Besides, the people selected by the Zhang family this time are also similar to you, between young people... Ahem," he coughed again.

"Dad, your body..."Jiang Xiaobai said worriedly.

Jiang Xun waved his hand and said, "It's just that it's cold, it's not a big deal, just rest for a few days."

"Daddy is unwell, let me go," Jiang Xiaobai said.

Jiang Xun bowed slightly, pondered for a while, and said: "You should understand the importance of this batch of wine to the Jiang family, but the weight of the Zhang family in Guangfu City, I think you should be more clear, young people are inevitably impetuous, if so, you should also be more patient, do you understand?"

"The child understands!"

Jiang Xun's tired face showed a look of relief, and he told him a few more things, and finally smiled: "Let's go, it's time to eat, she will be angry again after waiting for your mother for a long time."

When I came to the hall, I saw a woman waiting at the dinner table, and there were several maids standing next to her in the room, this woman was Jiang Xiaobai's mother in this world, Mrs. Jiang.

When Mrs. Jiang saw the two coming, she complained: "The two fathers and sons have been talking for so long, this meal is about to be cold."

Jiang Xiaobai stepped forward to sit down, and saw that his rice bowl was full of meat and vegetables, and couldn't help but say helplessly: "Mother, I'm not a child anymore, I can pick up my own vegetables, don't bother when you are old."

"It is said that mothers are defeated, I think Xiaobai will spoil you sooner or later," Jiang Xun snorted coldly.

Mrs. Jiang glanced at Jiang Xun and said, "This child of her own family, if she is not spoiled, is it possible that she is still waiting for someone else to come?" After that, he sandwiched a piece of meat into Jiang Xiaobai's bowl and said, "Don't look at you, you're eighteen, but in my mother's eyes, you'll always be a child."

Jiang Xun couldn't cry or laugh, and said, "You... You let me say what is good about you"

Jiang Xiaobai looked at it with a smile, although it has only been three months since the crossing, strictly speaking, the two in front of him are not his own parents, but the love in Jiang Xun's majesty and Mrs. Jiang's favor made him feel unusually warm when he was an orphan in his previous life.

....

Late at night, in the main room of the East Courtyard, Jiang Xun sat by the window, looking up at the dark night sky, looking a little haggard, and coughing from time to time. Mrs. Jiang made the tea, brought it over and said softly: "What are you thinking, it's better to rest early if you're not in good health."

Jiang Xun smiled bitterly: "It's not about Qinghui Wine Workshop yet"

"Qinghui Wine Workshop?" Mrs. Jiang draped her clothes on Jiang Xun's shoulders and said, "I heard that they have recently bought a lot of small wine shops."

Jiang Xun put the teacup on the table next to him, with a hint of anger in his eyes: "It's not a big deal to buy other wineries, it's just that this Qinghui winery has become more and more excessive recently, and it has taken up more wineries in Dongcheng District, and it has actually reduced the price of wine by two percent." What is it for? Isn't it just to suppress the price of alcohol in our wineries! The cost of the wine he sells is not high, and it has been reduced by two percent and there is still some profit, but it is difficult for us who make a living from wine, they fall, we do not fall, in the eyes of outsiders, it has become that we will not do business, and now there are many wineries that can't do it. ”

"If it goes on like this, the price of this wine is not up to his family?" Mrs. Jiang's eyebrows frowned slightly: "Or we will also buy other small wineries in this Dongcheng."

Jiang Xun sighed and said: "Madam, what you think is simple, which winery in this Dongcheng District is not the name of their own hard work, how can it be easy for you to buy it, I don't know what means this Qingyunqi has spent." He took a sip of the teacup and said, "If it goes on for a long time, sooner or later it will bring down our Jiang family, and I can only hope that this batch of newly brewed wine can make some reputation." ”

The night was deeper, Jiang Xiaobai was lying on the bed looking at Fang Liang thinking about tomorrow, muttering the word "Zhang family" in his mouth.

Lingnan Zhangjia is not an ordinary restaurant, inn, the family advocates that Lin is a giant businessman in Lingnan County, worth tens of thousands, wealth all over the world, business is everywhere, clothing, food, housing, and transportation are involved, it can be said that it is a rich party, that is, even the county guard of Lingnan County has to give the Zhang family some face.

In the study today, although Jiang Xiaobai promised verbally, if it is as Jiang Xun said, the person selected by the Zhang family is young and vigorous, self-esteem, and speaks harshly, how should he deal with it with his temper.
