After returning home from Wenjun's drinking, Li Xi's mood was a little low.

When I got home, Wu Ji was taking a nap in the afternoon, Li Xi saw that she was sleeping in Zhengxiang, so she didn't disturb her, wanted to practice calligraphy, touched the brush but didn't have a little mood, threw down the pen and picked up a book from the bookcase, but saw that it was the "Zuo Tai Chong Collection" that Wu Ji bought a few days ago.

I remember that Wu Ji said that this is the anthology of the famous literati Zuo Si in the Western Jin Dynasty, Li Xi just purchased it for her according to her book list, but she never looked at these things, and when she touched it, she looked at the page that was open when she was covered with the case, and I thought that Wu Ji saw it last time.

This is a poem called "Song History"-

The bottom of the lush stream is pine, and it is far from the seedlings on the mountain. With the diameter of the stem, the shade of this hundred feet. The world is in a high position, handsome and subordinate. The topography makes it so, and the origin is not a one-time. Jin Zhang borrowed the old business, and the seven-leaf Han mink. Feng Gong is not great, and he can't see the move.

There is also a beautiful small block next to it with eyebrow criticism - Feng Gonghu? Ermarten?

Although Li Xi's historical level is not high, his ability to understand words is not too bad, he thought about it for a while, but he probably understood what it meant, this should be because there are high and low backgrounds, many capable people can only stumble, and some people who obviously have no ability are rich and noble all their lives.

Just after figuring out the general meaning of the poem, those few lines of eyebrow criticism made him frown again.

Wu Ji is fine, what are you doing with these?

Immediately, he remembered Wu Ji's ambiguous and obscure origin, and thought to himself, could she really be from a high-ranking family? These two "huhs" are asking themselves?

Hates only that he has a limited knowledge of history, and he really can't think of any high-ranking officials in the Tang Dynasty who are surnamed Wu except for Wu Zetian's family.

If you can't think of it, you just don't think about it anymore, Li Xi sighed, got up and left the study, and went to the kitchen to continue steaming wine.

Regarding steamed wine, in fact, Li Xi had two sets of plans at the beginning.

One of them is naturally the set he "performed" in Pei Yang's mansion, mainly using fire to directly grill the wine vessel, so that the wine is kept at a certain temperature, so that the alcohol evaporates naturally, this method is actually the simplest and most direct method, but it has an unavoidable shortcoming, that is, under the current technical conditions, this method is really not good to control the temperature of the wine, and the amount that can be processed at one time is too small, not suitable for large-scale production.

However, this method also has an advantage, that is, the tool is extremely simple and portable, and it can be hidden at any time if you don't want others to see it, which is very convenient for Li Xi to hide the secret of making new wine. Therefore, he used this method in Pei Yang's mansion for performance and to attract their attention, and the method that really allowed him to make a large number of high-alcohol new wine was this method at home, that is, steaming.

Water steaming has to make an extra bend than fire steaming. It is a container containing the liquor that sits in a pot of water, and by heating the water, the liquor also heats up, so as to achieve the purpose of evaporating the alcohol.

Compared with fire steaming, water steaming is an intermediate medium with more water, and the temperature response of the wine is not so fast, so it will be easier to control the temperature, which can be said to be the best way for Li Xi to produce new wine on a large scale.

But it has a fatal flaw, which is that the method is too simple and too easy to expose.

The reason why Li Xi has to toss back and forth so many twists and turns for a small sake brewing, which is self-blasphemy and momentum, is precisely because the method of steaming wine is too untechnical.

In the final analysis, Li Xi's so-called wine-making is simply a blind spot in the thinking of the current Tang people, as long as you take a look at his facility, most people can see the Tao at a glance, so this wine-making method must be absolutely confidential and controlled in the hands of a small number of absolutely credible people, so that this great benefit can continue to be enjoyed.

Therefore, the second uncle can't do it, he is a businessman, and he can't control this simple little secret no matter what, so Li Xi must find a way to get more rich, powerful, and time-bound people involved, how can he do it if he doesn't build momentum?

But he has to guard against the fact that one day others feel that they are not important, and they will kick themselves away with a casual kick, so in the choice of business partners for this cooperation, only the second uncle is not enough, and he must add another pound to increase the insurance coefficient, and Pei Yang, who is trying to enter the wine industry, naturally enters his sight in this context.

Now that the bait has been released, Li Xi only needs to wait patiently for the fish to automatically come to the bait one by one, so even if he is steaming wine, he is a little lazy, if it weren't for the fact that tomorrow's wine tasting will have to be used, he wouldn't be too lazy to do these things.

Thinking about it, I just feel upset in my heart.

The chess game has been laid out, if nothing else, the next day should be very good, after all, there will be money, but ...... Why do you still feel a little wrong?

Well, it seems that after the overall situation is settled, I have lost my excitement?

In a distraught mood, half of the wine was steamed, Li Xi extinguished the fire in his stomach and walked out of the kitchen with his hands behind his back.

After Wu Ji woke up, she had already heard the movement in the courtyard, and she was about to get up, but she heard footsteps in her ears, knowing that Li Xi had already come this way, and she didn't know what to think, she quickly turned back and lay down, closed her eyes tightly and made a sound appearance.

Spring said that the shirt is thin, Wu Ji lies on her side with one hand, her body curves are gracefully undulating, although she looks like a begonia sleeping in the spring, she has an indescribable state of floating out of the dust, almost like a fairy among people.

It's so pretty!

Recently, Li Xi has always let out similar feelings from his heart.

It's a pity, although the beauty is right in front of you, and people have also said that they can't be your woman, as long as you have the guts, as long as you are not afraid that you will lose your head in the future...... But I just don't dare.

yes, what if you have money? It's not that you have to shrink your hands and feet, and you can't even move the beautiful woman?

Thinking of this, somehow an evil fire suddenly sprung up from the bottom of my heart.

Damn, what if Lao Tzu moves?

Who knows if this little girl is bluffing? Even if she really has some background, the big deal is that her head has fallen off and she has a big scar, anyway, Lao Tzu has crossed over, maybe she can wear it back after she dies!

He walked to the couch and was about to stretch out his hand, but Wu Ji suddenly opened his eyes.

His eyes were like an instant, and he looked at him with a smile.

Li Xi was extremely embarrassed all of a sudden, and only felt that the hand stretched out in the air was not advancing, and it was not good to retreat.

It turns out that this Nizi has woken up, just waiting for herself to show her true colors!

Feng Gonghu? Ermarten?

Lao Tzu doesn't care if you are a marten nobleman!

Facing Wu Ji's gaze, he smiled hesitantly, salivated and said, "Seeing that you are taking such a moist nap, I am also sleepy, let me lie down for a while." As he spoke, he took off his shoes and lay down on the couch, and looked at Wu Ji from the side, and there was only less than half an arm's length between the two, and his breath could be heard.

Wu Ji was hit under his neck by his rough snort, and he only felt itchy for a while, but he blushed slightly and looked at him with a smile, "There is also a couch over there, why don't you go over there?" ”

"There's a smell on your couch."

After finding a reason that was not a reason, Li Xi suddenly felt much more at ease.

He took Wu Ji's tender white little hand and put it in front of his eyes, and played with his two hands to look closely, although the hand was smaller than his hand, but the five fingers were slender and smooth, and there was an indescribable beauty.

Put it on the tip of your nose and smell it gently, there is a faint aroma of blue musk.

From beginning to end, Wu Ji had no intention of resisting, but unconsciously lowered her face.

No matter how rough her life is, no matter how knowledgeable she is, she is just a girl who has grown up in the early years of cardamom.

"I've always called you Wu Ji Wu Ji, don't you have a name?"

After hesitating for a moment, Wu Ji said, "Yes, my name is Wu Lan." ”

"Wu Lan, good name! Lan'er, I want you! ”

When Wu Lan heard this, she only felt as if her heart had suddenly jumped, and she subconsciously held her breath.

She opened her eyes wide and looked at Li Xi carefully, "Have you thought about it?" ”

"I've figured it out."

Wu Ji glanced at Li Xi very seriously, and closed her eyes tremblingly.

Li Xi swallowed her saliva, ruthlessly, her palm left her little hand, and went up along her arm through the thin spring shirt, and then she looked up and suddenly caught a glimpse of a daughter in Wu Lan's eyes.

Li Xi was stunned for a moment, and his hand immediately stopped.

Wu Lan took a deep breath and said, "My great-grandmother is His Majesty Emperor Gaozong's Empress Wu. ”

Li Xi frowned when he heard this, "Gaozong? Wu? ”

Then he suddenly jumped up from the couch, "Wu Zetian? ”

Without waiting for Wu Lan to answer, a woman suddenly shouted from the courtyard: "Is the Li family eldest here?" This is the home of Li Xi, the eldest man of the Li family? ”

※※※

Faced with her brother and sister-in-law's aggressiveness, Jingnu repeatedly told herself not to cry.

Hiding in the alley at noon, watching Li Xi leave with her own eyes, she was relieved and slipped back, this heart was already unstable, closed the door and thought about it herself, it seemed that she felt that she had just seen the light in front of her, but she was immediately told that if she wanted that light, she had to pay the price.

The price is oneself.

And now, before she could figure out the whole thing, her brother and sister-in-law had already forced the door again.

She just hates herself, so she gave birth to an ordinary daughter, isn't it good, although the poor husband and wife are destined to work hard all their lives, but they can also get a stable and happy child, they can give birth to a few big fat boys for their own man, and help him take care of a family, so that the husband and wife help each other, life is not wasted.

But why do you have to be born like this?

Although he married a rich and noble family, he was still a scholar, but he didn't even have time to enter the cave room to let himself bring filial piety, and then he was blasted out of the door by his in-laws. And now, seeing that he seems to have a glimmer of life again, but it is only bright flowers, and willows are dark.

God knows how much she wants to have a man standing in front of her, God knows how much she wants to have a pair of shoulders that can help her carry everything, so that she can be a little woman with firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea with peace of mind, even if she is a fool, a cripple, a dumb person, or a deaf person...... That shoulder can't help her carry anything, but it can make her lie on top of her and cry out quickly!

It's a pity that no, it seems that this life is already destined to be without.

As a surviving person, she had to keep a festival for her deceased husband.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, this kind of talk is really better to go underground and follow him.

Saying don't cry, don't cry, tears still meander down unconsciously.

"Brother, sister-in-law, can you leave a way for your sister to live?"

The elder brother snorted coldly, turned his head and didn't answer, but the sister-in-law glanced over disdainfully, and crossed her waist with one hand, "Oh, I said sister, look at what you said, we, as brother and sister-in-law, can we still harm you?" You just obediently follow us, grandpa and grandma are thinking about you all day long at home! You are a woman's family, where can you show your face in such a shameless manner? How can you marry someone in the future! ”

Hearing this, Jingnu took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and let the tears fall freely.

It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, it's just a death.

The two mothers-in-law who rushed to stop the couple when they heard the news turned their heads and saw the despair on her face, and couldn't help but look at each other at the moment.

"Lin family lady, don't panic, her sister-in-law will help you call someone, the Li family is not an ordinary person, he must have a way. Let's wait, wait. ”

Jing Nu opened her eyes when she heard this, and almost no emotion was gone in her eyes, but while letting tears well up, she calmly looked at her brother and sister-in-law who were already extremely blurred in front of her, and asked: "Brother, sister-in-law, don't you just want to sell me to another family for some bride price, let's say, how much am I worth in your heart, can I find someone to buy me?" ”

As soon as she said this, the couple immediately glanced at each other, and her sister-in-law smiled and kept some cover-up, "What do you say about selling or not, it's all a family, and my brother and sister-in-law are also good for you, your current reputation, it's not good enough for people not to pick you!" ”

Her brother was already a little impatient, and said, "Take 50,000 yuan, and it's up to you!" ”

"Fifty thousand dollars, it turns out that I am still worth fifty thousand dollars."

When I looked up, I saw a vague figure running from the other side of the alley, a very familiar feeling.

She wiped her tears, her eyes swept over the large group of people watching the excitement at the door of the wine shop, and suddenly shouted loudly at the other end of the alley, "I, the daughter of the Lin family, am nineteen years old this year, I was originally a surviving member of the Huangfu family, and now I have been expelled from the house for 50,000 yuan, who wants to buy me?" ”

The crowd watching the excitement outside the door looked at each other when they heard this, and before they could speak, they suddenly heard a panting voice from the other end of the alley, "Fifty thousand yuan, I bought it!" ”

Everyone turned their heads in unison.

It was Li Xi, who was holding a wine tasting here in the morning.

Jing Nu wiped her tears and saw that it was really him, and she couldn't say what she felt in her heart, and asked herself, "He is the one who wants to help me, how can he bear to cheat him for 50,000 yuan?" ”

At that moment, she was about to speak, but suddenly heard a woman say: "Mr. Li, you are late, such a big beauty, 100,000 yuan, I bought it." ”

Everyone looked at Li Xi just now, and when they heard this, they couldn't help but turn their heads in surprise, and even Jingnu looked over in surprise, but saw that a gorgeous carriage had stopped outside her shop at some point, and at this time, the carriage curtain was opened, and a lady who was so beautiful that people couldn't open her eyes was getting out of the car by herself.

As soon as she appeared, she immediately calmed everyone on the scene.

This woman is so beautiful, although she is only a light sweep of the moth eyebrows, she is still suffocatingly beautiful.

After a long time, Jingnu's eldest brother finally came back to his senses, but he felt a pain in his flesh, turned his head to see that the lady was pinching himself, and made a color at himself, he suddenly woke up and hurriedly shouted: "100,000 yuan, sold!" ”

Li Xi, who ran to the front of the shop, gasped for breath and looked at Pei Yang's Yang Huahua helplessly.

Seeing this, Yang Huahua smiled faintly at him, "Mr. Ziyue, the concubine is based on this Wenjun's wine, can you get a piece of the pie?" ”

***********

In other words, under everyone's encouragement, encouragement, encouragement, and coercion, I have been thinking about the possible surname of two shifts a day, but I don't know if the brothers' recommendation votes can keep up with the strength?

Besides, looking up on the list of new books, the three idiotic Danzhu is not a few points higher than us, everyone works hard, and one person smashes a few more votes, it should be about the same, right?
