Chapter 22 Waiting for you during the government exam
Wang Ye stood in place and was silent for a moment, and suddenly spoke: "Virtuous nephew, the old man lost face in this pink building back then, if it wasn't for Xiao Jiu with him, I'm afraid the old man would have ......killed himself at that time."
Zhao Yan knows the meaning of self-destruction, which is similar to the meaning of suicide and self-harm.
Zhao Yan was speechless, Wang Dahu's words were clueless, so he didn't know how to answer at all, and after holding it for a long time, Zhao Yan could only comfortingly say: "It's always good to be alive." ”
"Hahaha......" Wang Ye was amused by Zhao Yan's words, and after laughing, his mood was obviously much better.
"The virtuous nephew is right, it's always good to be alive, but it's a pity that the old man was young and vigorous at the time, and after being inexplicably humiliated, the first thing that came to mind was to find a short-term ......" Wang Ye turned to look at Zhao Yan and continued to sigh: "Thanks to Xiao Jiu, if he hadn't hugged the old man in time, why would the old man be where he is today!" ”
Speaking of this, Wang Ye changed his words and said in a calm tone: "However, although these old men have seen it, they still can't swallow this breath. When the old man set up a winery, he was angry with Sun Changgeng, but it was not easy to make wine, let alone soju. The old man lost his advance and retreat, and fell behind, so he changed the shochu workshop into a rice wine workshop, and then came to Hengshui to see Sun Changgeng in person, intending to make amends to him, who knew that this person was insidious and treacherous, and he was kind and angry, but he was plotting against the old man behind his back. The old man endured this tone for more than 20 years, and thought that there would be no positive confrontation in this life, but at this time, with the soju concocted by the virtuous nephew, the old man was confident to fight. ”
What Wang Ye said was not very clear, but Zhao Yan could barely understand it, but the big family in it refused to say it in detail.
In fact, this matter has to start from 22 years ago, when Wang Ye was only eighteen years old, it was the age of high spirits, and he met Sun Changgeng when he was ordered by his father to escort grain and rice to Hengshui City.
One day, a new Qing Qier came to the pink building in Hengshui City, and Sun Changgeng sent a letter to Wang Ye and invited him to come and see the excitement. Wang Ye was invited, but as soon as they met, he took a fancy to this young man, and wanted to redeem him as a side room in his home.
Who knows, Sun Changgeng has long taken a fancy to this young man, and the two have been fighting since then, but no one has won against anyone in the end. In the end, Sun Changgeng came up with an idea to let Wang Ye go home to make wine, if Wang Ye could make better soju than his family's wine within a year, he would give up the name and give Wang Ye wine to make amends.
At that time, Wang Ye was not deeply involved in the world, and in the coaxing of others, he agreed in a daze.
Sun Changgeng's idea is naturally a delaying tactic, as the saying goes, bitches are ruthless, and dramas are unrighteous. Originally, Sun Changgeng and Wang Ye competed, and this woman still wanted to wait for the price and sell, but now Wang Ye didn't know where to go, and only one Sun Changgeng was willing to redeem himself, so what else could he do, he could only let Sun Changgeng redeem himself, and then entered Sun's house.
A year later, Wang Ye's bet was naturally lost, and he put wine in the restaurant in Hengshui City to make amends to Sun Changgeng, and the one who took the cup was the original Chun Er.
At that time, what Sun Changgeng said in his mouth was good, and what he said regardless of his previous suspicions and getting back together was the same as not asking for money, and finally he pretended to give Wang Ye the one who was already tired of him.
No one knows the depression in Wang Ye's heart, and Sun Changgeng is on the side to persuade him to drink, so he drinks and drinks high. Who wanted to wake up early the next morning, Wang Ye found that he had been stripped of his clothes and was lying on the crowded street for guidance, and the 'lost and found' chaser was nowhere to be seen.
was plotted by his former 'friend' Sun Changgeng, and was naked in public for guidance and ridicule, Wang Ye, who grew up reading sage books since childhood, felt shameless to live, and hit the wall on the side of the road under grief and anger.
After being persuaded by Wang Jiu, the master and servant left Hengshui County in a gloomy manner, and after going back, Wang Ye did not dare to mention the matter to his father on the sickbed, first, he was ashamed to mention it, and secondly, he was afraid that his father would be angry again.
More than 20 years have passed in a blink of an eye, and this matter has been buried deep in Wang Ye's heart, except for the henchman Wang Jiu, who knows it, even Wang Ye's wife has never known.
Wang Ye was ashamed and brave, and worked hard after the death of his father, and finally built the Wang family into a large family in Shenzhou. During this period, he has also been paying attention to Sun Changgeng in Hengshui City, always looking for an opportunity to take revenge back, but the Sun family has been holding the 'Tiandefeng', a winery that has been inherited for many years, and the reputation of the 'Yuqing Brew' under his name is also growing, and in recent years, it can compete with the prestigious 'Lao Baigan'.
After more than 20 years of ups and downs in the business world, Wang Ye can already be called a scheming and deep city, and he also thought about finding someone to plot against Sun Changgeng, but when he thought of the consequences after the matter was revealed, he couldn't help but dispel this idea.
Now that Zhao Yan has made a soju that has never appeared in the world, Wang Ye had a mind at that time, wanting to compete with the Sun family's Yuqing brewing, and defeat Sun Changgeng head-on, in order to vent the depression he had accumulated for more than 20 years.
"Virtuous nephew, the old man won't hide it from you, the reason why the old man came in person this time is that he wants to use the soju you made to fight with the 'Yuqing Brew' of the Sun Family Distillery." Wang Ye stroked his big belly, and said: "But although the wine is not human, it needs to be famous, the old man has already thought about it, but unfortunately the name taken can not be in the elegant hall, tomorrow is the wine tasting meeting, but the soju we brought has no name, so what can I do......"
Originally, Zhao Yan just wanted to make some money by taking advantage of Wang Ye's east wind, and came to Hengshui County more to increase his knowledge, although Wang Ye was respectful on the surface, in fact, he was quite disappreciative of it in his heart, he was nothing more than a big landlord in the feudal dregs environment, and Zhao Yan from later generations naturally did not have much sense of identity with him.
It's just that...... Death of the country, killing his father, and taking his wife, this is called the three major hatreds, looking at Wang Dahu's endurance for more than 20 years, and now he still remembers it, presumably this hatred is not far from even if it is not as good as the hatred of taking his wife, Zhao Yan can't help but ask himself, if it is himself, I am afraid that he will not be able to endure it for even a year, so he can't help but have some admiration for Wang Ye in his heart, and he has the heart to help him when he hears the words.
"Outside, the kid said something straightforward, the outsider just wants to make Sun Changgeng ugly in front of everyone through the wine tasting conference, I don't know if it's or not?"
The embarrassment on Wang Ye's face flashed, and then he looked left and right, and saw that there were few pedestrians around, and when he was about to answer, Zhao Yan already smiled and said: "There is no need to say anything outside, the kid already knows it." Dare to ask, is the soju produced by Sun Changgeng's Tiandefeng Distillery called 'Yuqing Brew'? ”
Wang Ye boasted that the city was profound, but at this time, he looked at Zhao Yan with an 'unfathomable' appearance, but there was a trace of anger in his heart inexplicably, and he wanted to beat Zhao Yan for no reason, but fortunately, Wang Ye extinguished this idea in time, and then nodded calmly: "Yes, what is the high opinion of the virtuous nephew?" ”
Zhao Yanchao didn't know that he had just pretended to fail and provoked people's suspicions, he continued: "If that's the case, then the soju we brought might as well be called 'Shangqing Brew', what do outsiders think?" ”
"Shangqing brewing, Yuqing brewing, Shangqing, Yuqing ......" Wang Ye said a few times in his mouth, but he patted his stomach and laughed: "Good name, Yuqing is still a jade person, but a little lady, Shangqing is a Zhou system jue, comparable to a country, the two phases are relatively high, and it is immediately visible, virtuous nephew and talent." ”
Zhao Yan said: "Although the kid has never seen the Sun family's Yuqing brew, but since it can compete with the well-known old Bai Gan for a while, it must have its own uniqueness, and the Shangqing brew concocted by the kid may not be invincible, but the outsiders are here to spit out the pent-up gas in their chests for many years, and the kid here has a plan for the staff to consider." ”
Wang Ye was very unconfident about suppressing Sun Changgeng head-on at the wine tasting, and when he heard Zhao Yan's words, he couldn't help but light up, but he was not busy asking questions, but pulled Zhao Yan to take a few steps closely, and sat down in a quiet teahouse on the side of the road. ”
"Outsider, since Outsider and Sun Changgeng were able to intersect at the beginning, I don't know how Sun Changgeng behaves on weekdays, and what handle can he handle?" Zhao Yan took a sip of tea, and secretly said that he didn't know what kind of tea this was, but it tasted fresh.
Wang Ye pondered for a moment, and then said slowly: "When this fang was a young man, he occasionally acted arrogantly and dissolutely, but time has changed, and in the past 20 years, his temperament has become more and more introverted, and he is also much more sleek, but there are few inappropriate places for people to put their beaks...... By the way, do you remember that Fang Cai Xiaojiu once teased this fang? ”
"I haven't seen him for many years, and Sun Yuan's demeanor is still the same, but I don't know how many concubines and how many sons have been added? But this sentence? Zhao Yan had a good memory, and immediately remembered Wang Jiu's words that made Sun Changgeng's face change abruptly.
Wang Ye laughed in a low voice: "Yes, this is from a rumor. Ten years ago, the old man once ordered Xiao Jiu to send someone to Hengshui to inquire about Sun Changgeng's news, and accidentally heard that this fang accidentally fell off the carriage and was injured**. This fang is a romantic character, often nostalgic for the place of fireworks in the green building, at that time this fang only had a daughter, three wives and concubines, after this fall from the carriage, this fang is rarely seen in the fireworks alley, and for more than ten years there is nothing, and no longer take concubines. It's just that this matter is hearsay, and there is no conclusive evidence, so the old man doesn't know whether this matter can be called a handle. ”
