Chapter 160: Settle down

Walking to the street, looking back at Cheng Fu, Han Rui walked through the secluded alley, took out the envelope from his sleeve, and after opening it, it was also a thin piece of paper, looking carefully, Han Rui smiled brightly, worthy of Cheng Biting Jin, it really did not disappoint, satisfied, Han Rui went leisurely, he didn't have time tonight, and he had to attend the banquet.

"Ayah, what a gift deserves to be so moved by you." In the Cheng Mansion Hall, when Han Rui left, the three brothers of the Cheng family could no longer hold back the curiosity in their hearts, squeezed next to Cheng Yanjin, asked in their mouths, and stretched out their hands to take it to watch.

With a few snaps, he knocked down the claws stretched out by the three of them, ignoring their pretended cries, Cheng bit Jin's eyes and shouted: "Don't be impatient, be careful to tear it." ”

Standing up obediently, the three brothers asked, "Aya, what is it?" ”

That kid was really willing, he was silent for a moment, Cheng Biting Jin's eyes were appreciative, and he smiled with a cracked mouth: "Wine recipe, the method of making fine wine." ”

"What?" The three brothers exclaimed, they are pretending to be stupid, not really stupid, naturally they know the value of this wine party, recalling the wonderful taste of the second pot head, the three of them immediately salivated, as long as there is a market, they will definitely spend money to buy it, but with the recipe, it is like giving people fish, they can make good wine endlessly, and they will definitely not show it easily, let alone give it away.

"It can't be fake." Cheng Chubi muttered.

"It's impossible, or ......" Cheng Chuliang touched his chin and guessed: "He wants to attach himself to Aya and be a guest of the Cheng family, and then use it as an official to seek wealth and wealth." ”

"That's not right." Cheng Chumo shook his head to deny the speculation of his two younger brothers, and analyzed: "He is not an ignorant person, how dare he take a fake wine recipe to deceive Aya, as for attachment, it may not be a big surname, after all, with his current reputation, there is Yu Shinan in the court, since he is close to Wenchen, why take Aya's path." ”

Well, Cheng Yanjin is satisfied, the eldest son is enough to inherit the family business, but the second son is not inferior, the third son is still young, the experience is slightly insufficient, and the lack of experience is also very normal.

Copying the wine party, Cheng Biting Jin called the housekeeper and ordered a few words to be arranged, before turning his head and saying slowly: "You three boys, what do you think is wrong with things?" ”

"Aya, it is unreasonable to give a wine recipe worth 10,000 gold when we meet for the first time." Cheng Chumo said, and the two people next to him also thought so.

Cheng Chubi was even more directly suspicious: "There must be fraud in offering hospitality for no reason." ”

"Your minds are too heavy." Patting the board, Cheng bit Jin Xun and said: "It's a very simple thing, but you have to think about it extremely complicated." ”

Aya made it clear." The three brothers looked at each other and asked.

Cheng Yanjin asked: "If it were you, would you carry things worth 10,000 gold with you?" ”

"Naturally not." Cheng Chumo shook his head and said thoughtfully: "Unless you know that you will be able to use it." ”

"In that case, he hadn't planned it a long time ago." Cheng Chubi shouted: "Such a deliberate plot is not small, we must be more careful." ”

"Bastard." Cheng Chuliang snapped his fingers and scolded lightly: "It's our temporary intention to block people." ”

"Well, that's right." Cheng Chubi smiled innocently, very embarrassed.

"He seemed to have expected that someone would be looking for him." Cheng Chumo smiled and said: "Fang Zi is prepared for them, of course, this is them, including us." ”

"But we only looked for him to ask for a few jars of wine." Cheng Chubi was puzzled: "Why did he directly give the recipe for brewing to Aya." ”

"Why not, who to send is not to send, and what time does it have to be divided." Cheng Yanjin said with a smile: "Besides, I didn't treat him badly, and the courtesies are still exchanged, which is very normal." ”

"It seems to be just a coincidence." Cheng Chumo came to a conclusion, and asked curiously: "Aye, what gift did you give him back?" ”

"There is a house in the suburbs, it's okay, I wanted to give it to Lao Wei's old house, but they didn't want it." Cheng Yanjin said with a big grin: "Stay there, Bai Yang helps the idlers, it seems to be a waste, just give it to him." ”

The three brothers didn't react, and they thought about it, they usually lived in a top-level mansion, and ordinary mansions would not be in their eyes.

As if thinking of something, Cheng Yanjin said: "By the way, a few of you, immediately give me a ...... to promote it in Fang City."

Suddenly, an interesting story began to circulate in Chang'an City, which attracted people's attention.

"Did you hear, it's that Han Rui again."

"What's the matter, a new poem again?"

"No, hehe, I heard that he only used a jar of fine wine to change a mansion from General Cheng."

"What! Which General Cheng? ”

"What is going on, can you elaborate on it."

Under the urging of others, the man really satisfied the vanity in his heart, and then said slowly: "Here's the thing, when it comes to it, the three sons of the Cheng family met ...... on the suburban road."

Under their kind invitation, Han Gongzi happily went to Cheng's Mansion as a guest, but General Cheng was also at home, the two met late, and when they talked, Han Gongzi offered a jar ......of wine, who didn't know, General Cheng was addicted to alcohol, after tasting the wine, his heart was open, and he was amazed, and he gave a generous gift at the moment to show his gratitude, although Han Gongzi repeatedly shirked it, but Cheng Gong insisted on seeing it, and in desperation, he had to accept it from his fate. The audience applauded and envied.

"One day, I will also bring the altar of wine to General Cheng's mansion to visit." Someone said that the purpose was clear.

"Hey, on the surface! Do you really think that's the way it is? What kind of character Cheng Gong is, what kind of wine has he not tasted, how can he be moved by the good wine and give a generous gift, which is nothing more than to show his importance to Han Rui. ”

"Makes sense." The others nodded, agreeing in their hearts.

"Wow, it's just a few articles and poems, and you don't have to spend your own money, someone sent it to the house, no, let the little cub at home study."

"Haha, haven't you heard of it, there is a golden house in the book, and there is a ...... in the book"

"I really haven't heard of it, who said this, there is really some truth."

"Han Rui."

Disturbed, within two or three days, this anecdote spread all over Chang'an City, colleagues or subordinates naturally asked Cheng Yanjin for verification, but what he got was his signature honest smile, neither denied it, nor admitted, but from the Cheng Mansion gossip, the night of the gift, General Cheng woke up, knew that there was such a thing, immediately beat his chest, and fell many objects.

So that's the case, everyone suddenly understood, a burst of snickering, General Cheng was drunk and misunderstood, not once or twice, but he did not change repeatedly, and now he has tasted the bitter fruit again, he is forced to laugh on the surface, and he must be extremely remorseful in his heart, he is smarter, don't always expose people's scars, so as not to make him hold grudges.

The truth was revealed, the people in the city suddenly realized, all speculation, returned to nothingness, and the interest in this interesting story slowly fell silent, occasionally someone talked about a few words, and saw that no one else echoed it, and he felt bored, so he naturally shut up and talked about other new things.

In this regard, Han Rui was deeply admired, in fact, when he went to the banquet, he was a little dumbfounded when he heard someone ask about this matter for the first time, the altar wine was exchanged for a mansion, and some people believed it, but now it seems that he underestimated the power of gossip, which really has the effect of confusing the public and reversing black and white.

However, the result of the matter made Han Rui very satisfied, in fact, the so-called wine, in addition to saving face for Helan Chushi and others, also had an important purpose, that is, to make those aristocratic teenagers pay attention to the wine they made, and from the very beginning, Han Rui made up his mind to sell the wine for money.

Originally, I thought that it would be a few days, when the aristocratic young man spread the word, and he had a way to brew peerless wine in his hands, and then those businessmen would definitely come to hear the news, and they could sell it at a price, but they didn't expect that the three brothers of the Cheng family would be the first to find themselves...... Han Rui stroked the corners of his lips, feeling very proud of his cleverness at that time.

Who to give it to is not to give, the object of the transaction is also very important, with Cheng Biting Jin's current status, and according to the rumors of his usual spleen surname, Han Rui decided to take a gamble and offer the wine party, the results showed that things were expected, Cheng Biting Jin did not show greed and stinginess, and really gave back.

Finally has his own house, Han Rui is in a good mood, galloping on horseback, in fact, he also knows that if he runs his own winery, he will get more benefits, but the time is too slow, he can't afford to wait, besides, the ancient wine industry is mostly governmental, businessmen need to go through a lot of procedures to be private, and they also have to pay heavy taxes, especially the wine consumption is too much, and the imperial court orders the prohibition of alcohol from time to time...... For various reasons, Han Rui gave up his plan to open a winery, and instead chose to sell the wine recipe to complete the first step of primitive accumulation, and then ...... Han Rui raised his whip and shouted loudly, go to see the house first.

Heading all the way to the southeast, we soon reached the vicinity of Lishan Mountain, and slowly stopped in front of a small hill with no majestic atmosphere, but here the stream is clear and the peaks are beautiful.

Just as Han Rui was enjoying the scenery, Qian Xu's joyful laughter came from afar: "Twenty-one Lang, I'm only here now." ”

"Keeping my uncle waiting." Han Rui responded and hurriedly stepped forward.

"Boy, it's been two days, and I haven't come to see my house." Qian Xu complained, but couldn't hide the joy in his tone.

"Uncle, I naturally want to come, but it's really hard to get out." Han Rui said with a sad face: "Even if you come here now, you can only stay for a while, and you will continue to attend an important banquet in the evening." ”

Han Rui is indeed miserable, these days he sings every night, and sometimes he has to stay up all night, either in a restaurant or in an inn, and he hasn't slept a few peaceful nights at all, Qian Xu is naturally clear, he can't help but shake his head and sigh, and said with concern: "Twenty-one Lang, look at you, your face is white, haggard and unspeakable, just push some entertainment, there is no way to offend people, your body matters." ”

"Uncle, don't worry, there are still two banquets left, and after participating, you can be at ease." Han Rui said, his spirits perked up, and he said happily: "Is this the mansion?" ”
