Chapter 127: The Master of the Xu Family
"Madam, the head of the Xu family is here."
Mrs. Xia's face was full of hesitation, and she really couldn't understand how a person like the head of the Xu family could come to this poor and remote place, and even landed at her wife's door.
Su Qin was also very surprised, she thought that the shopkeeper Xu had already checked her details, she had no past of winemaking, and she had no relationship with wine, it should be enough to win people's trust, why did this Xu family master still come to the door?
However, everyone came, so Su Qin had to tell Mrs. Xia to invite people into the door, and he hurried back to the backyard to change clothes.
I was sweating all over my body from practice, and my clothes were sticking to my body, which was naturally indecent.
She is still nominally keeping filial piety to Cheng Yan'an, so her clothes are mostly plain. But the old saying is not well-said, women want to be pretty, and they are filial. She actually looks good in those plain and light clothes.
Seeing a foreign man, it would be a little inappropriate to wear those clothes again, so she specially asked Mrs. Xia and them to sew two old-fashioned clothes for themselves to meet guests.
After packing up and coming out, I saw that the head of the Xu family was sitting in the guest seat, half-blind and didn't know what he was thinking, and there was tea just brought by Mrs. Qin on the small table next to him, but the head of the Xu family didn't drink it, thinking that he couldn't look down on the coarse tea of this farmer.
Su Qin didn't care, this was not a guest she invited, and the hospitality was not thoughtful, what did it have to do with her.
lightly made a meeting etiquette, "I don't know what the head of the Xu family is doing when he comes here today?" ”
Xu Yuan raised his eyes and was shaken by Su Qin's appearance, but it was only for a moment, "Xu someone came here today, naturally to forget about the wine." Su Niangzi, forgetting the wine is very important to me, and please Su Niangzi don't hide her secrets, in terms of price, I will satisfy Su Niangzi. ”
Su Qin said in his heart, this person is quite straight to the point.
"Master Xu, I have already told the shopkeeper Xu before, forgetting worries is only something I got unintentionally, except for a small part that I left, the others have all been handed over to the shopkeeper Xu, and there should be no other sales disputes."
Xu Yuan smiled, "Mrs. Su, I came today with the greatest sincerity, and I ask Mrs. Su to treat me with the same sincerity." Since Su Niangzi said that this wine was obtained by accident, then please tell Su Niangzi who got this wine from, or where it was obtained. ”
Su Qin already had an excuse, "I don't know the specific origin of this wine, it's my deceased husband who found it in the mountains." On the way to escape, he was afraid that he would have a chance, so he told me where the wine was hidden, and asked me to get it for silver when I couldn't get by. At that time, the wine was hidden in a cave in the Sandao Liangzi Mountain, where no one dared to go, so the wine was preserved intact. ”
Anyway, Cheng Yan'an has already died, and there is no proof of death, if you don't believe it, then go underground and ask Cheng Yan'an.
Xu Yuan looked directly into Su Qin's eyes, his eyes full of inquiry.
Su Qin let him look at it, his eyes were clear and firm, as if what he said was all true.
Xu Yuan couldn't see why, so he said, "Then can you ask Su Niangzi to personally lead the way to Sandao Liangzi Mountain?" ”
Su Qin didn't want to refuse directly, "I can't do this, the head of the Xu family also knows my identity, I'm a widow who just died of a man, if I go into the mountain with you and let people know, maybe they will gossip." You also know that this world is difficult, I am a widow, and I am a young widow, and many people's eyes are on me. This tongue crushes people to death, and even if you give me money to show me the way, I will not go. ”
Xu Yuan: ......
"Then can you please tell Mrs. Su the location of the cave, and I will take someone on a trip myself."
Su Qin looked disapproving, "There is really nothing in the cave, and there are many dangers in the three beams, if a noble person like you enters the mountain, if there is a mistake, then how can you get it?" ”
Xu Yuan took a sip of the teacup, but as soon as the tea entered his throat, he couldn't help frowning. swallowed the small sip of tea in his mouth, and then said: "Su Niangzi is worried, I will naturally bring enough guards when I go up the mountain, if something happens, please ask Su Niangzi to inform me of the location of the cave." ”
Su Qin sighed, "That's okay, the cave is a little below the top of Sandaoliangzi Mountain, it's easy to find there, there is a crooked neck pine tree at the entrance of the cave, and there is a hornet's nest hanging on the tree." The entrance to the cave was small, and there was room for only one person. ”
Xu Yuan heard her say carefully, so he hugged her fist: "Thank you Su Niangzi, Xu will let the entourage gather people, and I will bother you here for a while." ”
Su Qin looked embarrassed: "This ...... Master Xu, it's not good for me to stay at home for a long time, and I ask the head of the Xu family to forgive me. ”
Xu Yuan: ......
He has traveled north and south for so many years, and no one has ever dared to drive him out.
But he can't go yet.
So Xu Yuan had to stand up: "Then don't trouble Su Niangzi, Su Niangzi will leave." ”
Su Qin got up and said, "Then please ask the head of the Xu family to go slowly, and I will not send it far." ”
The widow's identity is really useful!
After Xu Yuan left with his entourage, Su Qin left the matter behind.
The cave did exist, and she wasn't afraid of Xu Yuan going to check it out.
Xu Yuan asked his entourage to go back to the county to bring people over, while he stayed in the carriage and waited, by the way, to see if Su Qinniang would have any other actions.
He didn't believe what Su Qin said.
What kind of wine from the mountains, this is also too. Who would hide such a good wine in the mountains?
But just in case, he still had to go to the mountain himself to find out.
The speed of the entourage was quite fast, and it didn't take long to bring a group of people over.
Su Qin watched the large group of people go to the mountains, smiled lightly, and continued to practice with the two children.
Xu Yuan led a group of people to climb two mountains in a row, and finally arrived at the foot of Sandaoliangzi Mountain.
The escort of the team leader checked the surrounding terrain and said to him: "Master of the family, there are large beasts infested in this mountain, and there may be danger, please leave the head of the family first, and let the subordinates enter the mountain to check." ”
Xu Yuan glanced up at Sandao Liangzi Mountain, and said indifferently: "It's already here, if I don't go up to see it myself, how can I be willing." Let's go, pay attention to the road. ”
The guards could not persuade him, so they had to surround him in the middle and march up the mountain.
The terrain of Sandaoliangzi Mountain is much steeper, the mountain is high and dense, and there are many poisonous snakes, insects, rats and ants in the forest.
It took a lot of effort along the way for them to climb to the top of the mountain.
Soon, Xu Yuan's guards found the cave that Su Qin said. The guards went into the cave to check it, and after confirming that there was no danger, they let Xu Yuan in.
