Shang Shi's words made Du Xingwen stunned: There is a mole in the family?! If the technique of brewing Fenqing is detected by the Qiao family or the Zhao family, the consequences will be unimaginable! Looking at Shang Shi again, his eyes were filled with gratitude! immediately thanked Shang Shi and said sincerely: "Thank you Brother Shang Shi for your hard work and coming to tell me late at night!" ”

Seeing this, Shang Shi hurriedly stepped forward and dragged Du Xingwen's hands. "Oh, when did Brother Du become such a mother-in-law and mother-in-law, it's just a matter of effort!"

Du Xingwen straightened up, waved his hand, and said in a deep voice: "This matter is not trivial, it is a matter of life and death for you to raise your hands, but it is a matter of life and death for the Du family!" ”

When Shang Shi heard this, he nodded and agreed: "Qiao Zhizhuo has recently made his own wine, and I have also heard about suppressing the purchase price of the Du family's wine. If he is allowed to get the Fenqing secret recipe again, it will indeed have a great impact on the Du family! I don't know how Brother Du is going to deal with it? ”

Du Xingwen was anxious, pacing around the house, seeing the faint worry between Shang Sheng's eyebrows, and said secretly: Just thinking about the Du family, I actually forgot the Shang family's father and son! Stopped, looked back at Shang Shi, and sighed: "Brother Shang Shi, let me consider the matter of the Du family in detail!" It's your father and son, who offended Qiao Zhizhuo because of the Du family's affairs this time, I'm afraid it will be difficult in Pingyang in the future! ”

The concern between Du Xingwen's words made Shang Shi very pleased: This kind of thing happened to the Du family, and Brother Du still considered my father and son, and he really had a deep affection for me. replied casually: "Brother Du don't worry, it's a big deal that my father and son leave Pingyang and go back to their hometown Fenyang." Qiao Zhizhuo will never make a special trip to Fenyang to make a stumbling block for me! ”

When Du Xingwen heard this, he was a little ashamed in his heart, and frowned and said: "The Du family is involved with the Shangshi brother and son, I am really a little ashamed!" After a pause, he proposed: "You and I have a deep relationship, and you don't want to be a carpenter when you return to Fenyang, so you might as well brew Fenqing to make a living!" ”

Shang Shi hurriedly waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "Absolutely not, Fenqing is the secret technique of the Du family, how can I accept it?" ”

Du Xingwen smiled bitterly: "What about the Du family's secret technique? I'm afraid there is no place for the Du family in Pingyang! ”

Shang Shi frowned, did not speak, lowered his head and pondered: If you return to Fenyang, if you continue to be a carpenter, without a big customer like the Du family, I am afraid it will be difficult to survive. I vaguely wanted to accept Du Xingwen's suggestion.

Du Xingwen stepped forward, patted Shang Shi's arm and said, "Okay, it's decided." Brewing Fenqing is actually very simple. Heat the ordinary wine in a pot, cover it with what I told you to make, and Fenqing will slowly come out from the lower end of the bamboo tube! Among them, it should be noted that the wine should not be boiled, and the bamboo tube must be covered with a wet towel, and it is best to sprinkle cold water on it all the time! ”

After Du Xing's words were finished, Shang Shi was excited in his heart, and said impassionedly: "When I return to Fenyang, I will definitely make the reputation of Du's Fenqing family known to the world!" ”

The Shang family's father and son left, Du Xingwen no longer had the intention of sleeping, and sat on the Hu chair and pondered: There is Qiao Zhizhuo's person at home? These subordinates and brewing masters have been coming to the Du family for several years, are there really people who have been bought by Qiao Zhizhuo? Although Brother Qin's party came recently, Fenqing was improved by Brother Qin after all, so he shouldn't do this! Who exactly is the mole? No, I have to go and discuss it with Brother Qin!

Qin Xuan's house was dark, and Qin Xuan was chatting happily with Zhou Gong's daughter at the moment! There was a knock on the door.

When Qin Xuan heard this, he didn't want to open his eyes, and asked casually, "Who?" ”

Du Xingwen whispered: "Brother Qin, it's me, I have something urgent to discuss with you!" ”

Qin Xuan had a straight face, speechless in his heart: In the middle of the night, what can you do, can't you come back tomorrow? replied impatiently: "Brother Du, wait a minute, I'll get up!" ”

Qin Xuan lit the oil lamp, opened the door, and then turned back to the kang and got into the quilt.

After Du Xingwen closed the door, he sat straight to the edge of the kang and said with a solemn face: "Brother Qin, things have changed, I'm afraid that the county order of Bao County has already told Qiao Zhizhuo about Fenqing, and there are still Qiao Zhizhuo's people at home!" ”

When Qin Xuan heard this, he immediately asked in surprise, "What?" Not only did Bao County Ling collude with Qiao Zhizhuo, but there were also moles in the family? ”

Du Xingwen nodded helplessly. Seeing this, Qin Xuan thought for a moment, slapped his forehead, and blurted out: "I'm really a fool, why didn't I think at that time, if Bao County Ling and Qiao Zhizhuo colluded, wouldn't the Du family be very passive!" ”

When Du Xingwen heard Qin Xuan's words, he sighed and said, "The matter has come to this, what is it good now?" ”

Qin Xuan raised his hand and waved it lightly. "Let me think about it!" After finishing speaking, Qin Xuan closed his eyes and secretly thought: Bao County Ling and Qiao Zhizhuo are in the same stream, and the Du family in Pingyang may be destroyed sooner or later. The style of Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty, I have long wanted to see it. Uncle and aunt and Du Lao chatted all day long, so unhappy. I don't want to let the three of them separate, so I might as well take this opportunity to encourage the Du family to go to Chang'an together!

Thinking of this, Qin Xuan opened his eyes and asked, "Brother Du, if Bao County Ling joins forces with the Qiao family, I wonder how sure our Du family is to gain a foothold in Pingyang?" ”

Du Xingwen was a little puzzled by Qin Xuan's question, but he didn't think much about it, so he blurted out: "Bao Xian Ling is a parent official after all, if he doesn't agree with us to open a tavern, and Qiao Zhizhuo puts pressure on the purchase price of wine, I'm afraid the chance of gaining a foothold in Pingyang is very small!" ”

Qin Xuan was very satisfied with Du Xingwen's answer, and immediately proposed: "Since the Du family has no place in Pingyang, it is better to go to Chang'an with me." At the feet of the Son of Heaven, such a thing will definitely not happen, and the Du family can develop better! ”

When Du Xingwen heard this, he was silent, and only sighed after a while: "Hey, even if the Du family wants to move to Chang'an, Bao County Ling and Qiao Zhizhuo will definitely not let them go if they don't get the Fenqing brewing technique!" ”

Qin Xuan smiled slightly and said, "If you agree to move to Chang'an, I will have a way to sell my property from under the noses of Bao County Ling and Qiao Zhizhuo, and then leave!" ”

The next day, at noon, Qiao Zhizhuo's room.

Qiao Zhizhuo stood up abruptly and said sharply: "Are you sure that the father and son of the Shang family are missing?" ”

Qiao Qing, the housekeeper of the Qiao family, was surrounded by plain clothes, and replied tremblingly: "Master, when the old slave went to the Shang family, he really never saw the Shang family's father and son. And ......" said this, the voice became even lower.

Qiao Zhizhuo glared angrily. "Say! And what's wrong? ”

Qiao Qing sighed, and said in his heart: If you get out, you won't be scolded anyway! "And when I saw that the Du family was cleaning up the Shang family's yard, the old slave inquired, and it seemed that the Shang family sold the yard to the Du family!"

Qiao Zhizhuo grabbed the teacup on the table, slammed it, fell to the ground, and said angrily: "The Du family, it's the Du family again!" He took a few deep breaths and said coldly, "You go out!" Instead, he sat down on the chair and muttered to himself: The father and son of the Shang family would rather leave than help me, I'm so angry! and Du Xingwen of the Du family, who has been against me, hum!

After about half an hour, the anger in Qiao Zhizhuo's heart slowly subsided, and his mind began to become rational, and he sighed secretly: It seems that I was in a hurry and scared the Shang family father and son away! Hey-the Du family and the brewing master were all brought out by Du Chengming, if you want to win over a person from it, it is more difficult than ascending to the sky! Go find that old fox, the matter of Fenqing at this moment is not just me. After making up his mind, Qiao Zhizhuo rushed to the county office.

The county office, the inner hall, Bao County Ling and Qiao Zhizhuo sat in it.

"Uncle, the little nephew came here this time to tell you that I'm afraid there is some trouble in Fenqing!" Qiao Zhizhuo shook his head and sighed.

When Bao Xianling heard this, he was slightly stunned, and then asked calmly: "What is the difficulty in making the virtuous nephew give up lightly?" ”

Qiao Zhizhuo still looked bitter and hateful. "Originally, the little nephew planned to explore the method of brewing Fenqing through the Shang family father and son. Unexpectedly, today, the family told the little nephew that the father and son of the Shang family have disappeared! Moreover, the courtyard of the Shang family was also sold to the Du family! ”

Bao Xianling hesitated slightly, and smiled slightly: "The old man remembers that when Du Xingwen came that day, there was a strange son by his side, named Qin Xuan, if the virtuous nephew started from him, there might be hope!" ”

When Qiao Zhizhuo heard this, he hurriedly said, "Qin Xuan? This person is from the Du family? ”

"Yes, the old man chatted with this person that day, and felt that this person was quite knowledgeable, and he was also Du Xingwen's cousin, it seems that Du Xingwen attaches great importance to this person, maybe brewing Fenqing, this person also knows!"

Qiao Zhizhuo muttered, "Qin Xuan, it seems that this person is the only one who can give it a try at this time!" ”

Suddenly, Bao San's voice came from outside the door: "My lord, Du Xingwen is out asking to see you!" ”

The corners of Bao County's mouth curved slightly, and he said softly: "This is really Cao Cao, Cao Cao!" Virtuous nephew, you go to the back hall first to avoid it! ”

Qiao Zhizhuo also knew that he bowed slightly to Bao County, and then turned straight into the back hall.

Seeing that Qiao Zhijie had already walked into the back hall, Bao Xian Ling waved his hand at Bao San and said, "Call him in!" ”

Du Xingwen and Qin Xuan walked into the inner hall, Bao Xianling still looked calm and relaxed, smiled slightly, and asked, "Du Gongzi, why did you come today?" ”

Du Xingwen's expression was depressed, and he raised his hand to salute: "The villain is here to ask Lord Bao for help!" ”

Bao Xianling was puzzled, a little concerned, and asked: "What's the matter, if the old man can help, he will definitely help!" ”

Du Xingwen smiled and said hurriedly: "Because of trying to brew Fenqing, the Du family is already in debt at this moment!" Now there is something wrong with Fenqing brewing, and the villain wants to sell the ancestral house! ”

When Bao Xianling heard this, he was slightly stunned, and asked with a little surprise: "Fenqing has a problem?" Du Gongzi still wants to sell his ancestral house? ”

Du Xingwen sighed and said helplessly: "Although Fenqing can be brewed, the cost is more than 100 times that of ordinary wine, and the villain has no choice but to sell the ancestral house and continue to improve!" ”

Qiao Zhizhuo, who was sitting in the back hall, heard Du Xingwen's words, Qiao Zhizhuo couldn't help but be a little stunned, and there was a wave of slander in his heart: The Du family was forced to sell their ancestral house because of a few altars of Fenqing, and it seems that Fenqing must no longer have to hold out hope.
