In the Yaneitang of Pingyang County, Bao Xianling sat at the table, took a small sip of Fenqing, smacked his lips, and muttered to himself: "Refreshing and pleasant, clear as water, I don't know how Du Xingwen is made of such a good wine!" ”

Suddenly, Bao San smiled and slowly came in. "Master, Qiao Zhizhuo is here!"

The corners of Bao Xianling's mouth curved, and he said with a smile: "Heh, this kid, the reaction is not slow!" Go, call him here! ”

Bao San turned around and walked out quickly, and Bao Xianling muttered happily: "To be a man, you have to be like this, compare the two ends, and go down to the big side!" ”

After a while, Bao San led Qiao Zhizhuo slowly. Qiao Zhizhuo was anxious and forced a smile. "Uncle, I really love my little nephew, and I have to share the wine with my little nephew, so that my little nephew is very grateful, and I come to thank you!" said so on his lips, but he kept cursing in his heart: You old fox, don't you have to squeeze my Qiao family dry! has swallowed up a hundred percent of the tavern's profits, and this time I still want to open my mouth, and I'm not afraid to kill you!

Bao Xian Ling said with a smile: "Virtuous nephew, when did you become so foreign, just a jar of Fenqing, why bother to come to thank you!" After speaking, he pointed to the Hu chair on the side and said, "Sit down, sit down and talk!" ”

When Qiao Zhizhuo heard this, he said in his heart: Hmph, if it weren't for the tavern business, how would I come here for just a jar of wine. With a smiling face, he sat down on the chair and said, "But then again, my uncle's jar of wine called Fenqing is really a rare wine, thorough and fragrant, which makes people want to drink it again after drinking a glass!" ”

Bao Xianling looked at Qiao Zhizhuo, shook his head and said: "The wine is good wine, but there are fewer of them, and the old man only has three altars!" This time, I gave a jar to my nephew, and I drank an altar at noon, and there is only one altar left at this moment! ”

Qiao Zhizhuo hurriedly replied: "Uncle, if you tell the little nephew about the brewer, when the brewing master in the little nephew's family learns, it will naturally be indispensable to the uncle!" ”

Bao County Ling heard Qiao Zhizhuo ask the winemaker, and said in his heart: This time, if I don't put a long line, how can I catch a big fish from Qiao's house. Picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and said, "But it doesn't hurt!" The person who makes the wine will send a few jars to the old man's mansion every three or five days, and he won't worry about his nephew! ”

When Qiao Zhizhuo heard this, he felt a flurry in his heart: Hmph, this old fox, it seems that if you don't put enough bait, you won't be hooked! "Uncle, don't say this, as a son and nephew, it is natural for you to share your worries! Uncle, tell the person who made the wine, not only the future Fenqing worry-free. Moreover, in the future, the tavern will sell the income of Fenqing, and the little nephew is willing to offer 30% as a thank you for his uncle's earnest teaching! ”

Bao County Lingxin said: Sancheng wants to send me away? You can't see the market of this Fenqing, or can't you see the profits of this Fenqing? He waved his hand and shook his head and said, "Virtuous nephew, if you want to say so, is the old man that kind of person?" ”

When Qiao Zhizhuo heard this, he was immediately a little annoyed, and scolded in his heart: Sancheng, you are still too little? If Fenqing is acquired by the Zhao family, or if another tavern is opened, the Qiao family tavern will probably close its doors! Gritted his teeth and said, "Uncle, you are naturally not that kind of person, this is just the little nephew's heart." The little nephew just thought about it, for a few years, thanks to his uncle's care, thirty percent was a little less, and the little nephew decided to honor the entire tavern forty percent to his uncle! ”

When Bao Xianling heard this, he was overjoyed in his heart, but he wanted to make some more profits and thought for a while. glared at Qiao Zhizhuo angrily, and said sharply: "Hmph, it is difficult for the virtuous nephew to underestimate the old man, how can the old man be greedy for your family's property, don't say more, please go back, the old man still wants to play chess with the shopkeeper Zhao!" ”

When Qiao Zhizhuo heard the shopkeeper Zhao, he immediately thought of Zhao Linsen in the Zhao family's tavern, and was immediately anxious, for fear that Fenqing would be obtained by the Zhao family, so he hurriedly said earnestly: "Uncle, the little nephew didn't mean that, but the little nephew really wanted to give the tavern profits plus forty percent to the uncle!" ”

When Bao County Ling heard the word "plus", he couldn't help but be overjoyed. showed a helpless expression, looked at Qiao Zhizhuo, and sighed: "Hey, since you have such filial piety, and you want to give it to the old man again and again, then ......" sighed again, and continued: "The old man agreed!" ”

Qiao Zhizhuo breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly thanked him: "Thank you uncle for fulfilling the filial piety of the little nephew!" ”

Coming out of the yamen, Qiao Zhizhuo was so angry that he vomited three liters of blood. gritted his teeth with hatred for Bao County, and the culprit Du Xingwen was naturally very resentful.

In the evening, the door of Shang's courtyard "knocked", and Shang Shi opened the wooden door. "Is that you? What is the reason why Qiao Gongzi is here? ”

Qiao Zhizhuo smiled. "Master Shang, let's go in and say, there are just some items that need urgently!"

Shang Shi didn't know why, so he took Qiao Zhizhuo into the living room of the house. After sitting down, he asked, "Young Master Qiao, I don't know what I want to do, so I came here at this time!" ”

Qiao Zhizhuo leaned on the Hu chair and said casually: "It's nothing, it's what the Du family has done recently!" ”

When Shang Shi heard this, he slandered in his heart: I heard Brother Du say that the object is a wine-making thing, let me help keep it secret. Qiao Zhizhuo must know the purpose of that object this time, and I am afraid that he is going to steal the Du family's method of making wine. Putting on a confused look, he asked: "Recently, the Du family has also made some wine barrels and other objects, which is also worth a special trip from Gongzi Qiao?" ”

When Qiao Zhizhuo heard this, he said in his heart: I know that you have a deep relationship with the Nadu family, and you will not admit it. The Du family has always made all the wine-making things by you. Although I have no evidence, but the Du family's new Fenqing, according to the original brewing equipment, will inevitably not brew Fenqing, I think there must be new equipment. Leng Yan said: "Master Shang, I have eyeliner in the Du family, and I have learned that the Du family has newly brewed a fine wine called Fenqing, and the equipment used is what you Shangshi did." Is there a mistake in the following? ”

Shang Shi heard Qiao Zhizhuo say clearly, and said secretly: Is this guy's words true? Could it be that the Du family really has someone from the Qiao family? However, even if there were, I had to pretend not to know. With a straight face, he said coldly: "I don't know what Gongzi Qiao is talking about, except for common items such as wine barrels, he didn't make anything else for the Du family!" ”

Qiao Zhizhuo saw Shang Shi's pretending to be calm and angry, and said in his heart: This Shang Shi is really as good as his name, and he is too honest, and after I blow it up like this, I will show everything. sneered: "Master Shang, your expression has betrayed you!" I'm not afraid to make it clear to you that this time the Du family brewed Fenqing, my Qiao family will definitely get it. If you don't want to help, you can get it yourself, and then you don't blame your subordinates for being ruthless! ”

Shang Shi was a little angry and stretched out his hand to point at Qiao Zhizhuo. "You-"

Shang Sheng on the side heard this, and thought in his heart: Young Master Qiao has already won the battle, and his father is still so unclear about the situation for the sake of that old favor. If it is true as Young Master Qiao said, I am afraid that my father and I, together with the Du family, will not be able to stay in Pingyang. Thinking of this, he hurriedly stepped forward and interjected: "Young Master Qiao, my father is joking with you, the things created by the Du family will be made by my father and son in a few days and sent to your mansion!" ”

When Shang Shi heard his son's words, he was furious, and he raised his hand and gave Shang Sheng a big mouth. "You little brute, how can you be like this-" Shang Shi was so angry with Shang Sheng that he couldn't say the rest of the words, and pointed at Shang Sheng tremblingly.

When Qiao Zhizhuo saw such a scene, he immediately got up and said, "Master Shang, take a look at Ling Lang's knowledge of current affairs." You better think about it, I believe that even if you don't do it, Ling Lang will help! Leave! With that, he turned and left.

Shang Shi sat down on the Daohu chair, facing Shang Sheng, who was covering his face, and shouted: "You kneel down for me!" ”

Shang Sheng was helpless and slowly knelt on the ground.

Shang Shi was furious and said: "You beast is not as good as this, your Uncle Du has helped our father and son for many years, how can you want to do something to be sorry for him?" ”

Hearing this, Shang Sheng raised his head and retorted: "Father, you have also seen the situation in front of you, do we want to follow the Du family and be forced to leave Pingyang by the Qiao family?" ”

Shang Shi lifted his leg and kicked it on Shang Sheng's chest. "Even if you leave Binh Duong, you can't do such an unrighteous thing!"

Shang Sheng got up from the ground and sobbed: "Even if you don't sell the Du family, you can temporarily promise Gongzi Qiao." Even if you tell Uncle Du to be on guard, or let's go away. Like you, how can Qiao Gongzi give up and let his guard down? ”

When Shang Shi heard his son say this, he instantly felt that what his son said was good. Helped Shang Sheng up and patted the soil on Shang Sheng's body. "Sheng'er, you're right, you're doing the right thing! Let's go to Du's house now and tell you Uncle Du! ”

Hearing this, Shang Sheng raised his head and looked at his father, and proposed: "Father, even if you want to inform Uncle Du, I'm afraid it's not the time now, it's better to wait until midnight, in case Gongzi Qiao sends someone to spy on him, he can go quietly in the middle of the night!" ”

It was getting dark, and I couldn't see my fingers. There was a knock on the door of Du's house, and the gatekeeper Du He, who was old, couldn't sleep well, and he was woken up when he was sleepy, and he was quite dissatisfied. Still, get up and open the door.

The heavy wooden door squeaked open, and Shang Shi and his son Shang Sheng rushed in. Shang Shi hurriedly said: "Lao Du, help call your young master, just say that I am in a hurry!" ”

When Du He saw the Shang family's father and son, his face was panicked and worried, and he immediately cheered up, led the two to the hall, and rushed straight to Du Xingwen's room.

Du Xingwen was puzzled when he learned that the Shang family's father and son were visiting late at night, and got up and rushed to the hall.

As soon as Shang Shifang saw Du Xingwen, he stepped forward and said hurriedly: "Brother Du, something happened, something happened!" ”

When Du Xingwen heard this, he said in his heart: Could it be that the object leaked out, but the Shang family father and son will definitely not leak it, or they would not have come to tell me late at night. Although he thought that it had nothing to do with the device of improving the drink, Du Xingwen was still inexplicably nervous and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Shang Shi frowned and sighed: "I don't know how Qiao Zhizhuo learned that you made that object with me." And how did you find out that the object was for winemaking, and came to the house this evening, and asked me to help him make what you asked him to do a few days ago, and said that there was a mole in your house! ”

Du Xingwen was so surprised that he lost his voice and said, "What? ”
