Chapter 204: Five Flavors of Wine (6)
"Shen ...... Sunken pond? ”
The mouth of the boss of Mi Xing was half open, probably because he didn't expect to hear such an answer from Xing Ruyi's mouth, or rather, he vaguely knew what would happen to the little woman in his heart, but he was subconsciously unwilling to think about it, and now that he knew the answer, he was slightly stunned.
"I ...... I don't know. ”
"If you knew, would you do anything?" Xing Ruyi asked, his eyes falling on the eyelids of the boss of Mi Xing.
His eyelids drooped slightly, as if there were a lot of ups and downs in his heart.
After a long time, the eyes of the boss of Mi Xing opened, and he looked at Xing Ruyi and asked, "What can I do?" Even if I knew that she was carried to the sinking pond by the villagers that day, what could I do? I am not related to her, and it is impossible for me to rush to save her. Even if I open my mouth and I stop in front of the villagers, do you think those villagers will show mercy or let the little girl go because of my obstruction? I'm not a chivalrous man in the romance of the rivers and lakes, I can't do it, and I can't do it for a little woman who is not related to him. ”
"You're right." Xing Ruyi nodded: "Although what you said is not very good, what you said is the truth, and it is the real truth." Living in this world, we really have no responsibility, and we are not obligated to do anything for a person who is not related to us, and it is good that you can hand that girl a dress, and she thinks so too. So, she reciprocated her kindness and came to you. ”
"She's coming to me......"
Xing Ruyi nodded: "You don't know why that girl sank into the pond, and you must not know who that girl is." Of course, even if you do, you don't necessarily care. Because you are in the rice and grain business, not a wine store, and the interlacing is like a mountain, what others care about, but you may not care about. ”
"Liquor store?"
"The girl's surname is Yan. Yan is not a rare surname, more than half of the villagers in Qingtian Township have this surname. The girl's father's name is Yan Shiro, who left home at a young age and entered a liquor workshop by chance. Yan Shilang is diligent and studious, and he is good at studying, but I don't know if he is lucky, or something else, but he made a new wine by mistake. This kind of wine, when you first enter it, will feel a little bitter, and then the mouth will be pantothenic, but the sour will carry a sweet taste of rice. When the wine enters the stomach, it will leave a trace of spicy in the throat, and then give birth to some salty taste.
If this kind of wine is sold, no one will buy it, but Yan Shiro likes it himself. It was another coincidence that a person drank this wine made by Yan Shilang, and tasted the five flavors of life from this wine, so he named this wine Wuwei wine, and brought it to the emperor and invited the emperor to taste it with him. ”
"Imperial wine?"
"Not really." Xing Ruyi shook his head lightly: "Life is difficult, no one will carry this five-flavor wine on his body every day like Yan Shilang." But the emperor had the emperor's consideration, and every New Year's Day, he would give this five-flavor wine to his subordinate officials, so that they could taste it carefully. In this world, Yan Shilang is the only one who knows how to make five-flavor wine, and his identity naturally becomes special with this wine.
It is said that this wine-making recipe is passed on to men but not to women, but Yan Shiro broke his body because of greed, leaving only such a daughter. After Yan Shilang's death, the recipe for making this five-flavor wine naturally came into the hands of Miss Yan. Yan Shilang has something to say, whoever becomes the son-in-law of the Yan family is the heir of this five-flavor wine. ”
"That being the case, why was Miss Yan sunk in the pond?"
"Naturally, it's because of the way the sake is made. With Yan Shilang's words in front, Miss Yan's family affairs naturally became lively. This Yan Shilang is a person who only knows how to make wine, and Mrs. Yan is even more of an idea, and before Miss Yan becomes an adult, these seven aunts and eight aunts will enthusiastically help her Zhang Luo with all kinds of thoughts. ”
"I'm afraid that Zhang Luolai's family affairs will not make people get their wishes."
"Indeed." Xing Ruyi nodded: "In the hearts of the seven aunts and eight aunts, it doesn't matter who you marry Miss Yan, it doesn't matter if Miss Yan can live a good life after marrying, or whether she has a good life, what matters is how much benefit they can get from the middle." It doesn't matter who said that Miss Yan's family affairs were synthesized in the end, the important thing is that she is not doing well, and her husband's family is going to the recipe of the five-flavor wine in her hand.
Fortunately, Miss Yan is not stupid, and she was not fooled by her husband to hand over the real wine-making recipe at the beginning of her marriage. But her husband's family is impatient, and as soon as he got the recipe for making wine, he couldn't wait to get rid of Miss Yan and then monopolize it. As a result, Miss Yan was framed by her husband's family, saying that she was on good terms with others, and then she was sunk in the pond by the villagers who also had ghosts. Her husband's family didn't get any better, and naturally he couldn't make the five-flavor wine that the emperor wanted with a fake wine-making recipe.
This wine is well made, and the emperor is naturally rewarded for his satisfaction. If the system is not good, the emperor will be angry, and disaster will fall from the sky. Soon after the new wine was made, Miss Yan's husband's family was beheaded all over the house on charges of bullying the king.
As for this Yan girl, she was originally wronged and sunk in the pond, and she was also resentful after her death, so she naturally refused to leave obediently. Yan Jun of the underworld was helpless, so he promised to help Miss Yan, but he had a lot of heart. You may have guessed what this Yan girl is thinking, that is, she is looking for you to repay her kindness.
Although you don't know the five flavors of wine, Miss Yan sincerely wants to leave this wine recipe to you. Knowing that your wife is difficult to conceive, Miss Yan wants to leave you an heir. Who would have thought that you should not keep her, nor her children? The so-called repaying virtue with resentment is probably what you look like. ”
"I'm ......" the boss of Mi Xing opened his mouth, and then said, "That's just what she thinks, I'm not unusual." ”
"Also, this matter is just Miss Yan's wishful thinking, and you just used her wishful thinking to bully her, and even let her down. You helped her, she came to repay her kindness, you hurt her, she came to seek revenge on you, this Yan girl is also a master who loves and hates. ”
After Xing Ruyi finished speaking, he added: "Right now, is there anything you want to do?" ”
The boss of Mi Xing pondered for a long time, and finally shook his head wordlessly.
Xing Ruyi sighed.
A few days later, the government posted a notice briefly describing the truth about the mysterious death of the owner of the rice shop. This truth is naturally a truth that can be accepted by the people, such as suicide in fear of sin.
The catchers found a dark room in the rice row, and found two skeletons in the dark room, one of which had a separate skull, and the bone was a miserable woman. Next to it, there was the skeleton of a baby, judging by the size of the skeleton, as if it had just been delivered.
Thinking that the boss of the rice shop, who was usually quite kind, was actually a murderer in private, people who had bought rice grain in the past felt panicked. Within a few days, the rice shop was taken out, and after a few months, the place where the rice was sold became a pawnshop, and it is said that the owner of the pawnshop kept the most precious things in his shop in the dark room where the dead man had been found.
Xing Ruyi "coincidentally" solved the case of the murder of the boss of Mihang, and became familiar with Chang Tai and Xiao Shengzi, who were fast catchers. On the day when the Ruyi Rouge Shop opened, Chang Tai personally brought a group of catchers to congratulate. Although they are all dressed in civilian clothes, who they don't know about those faces.
Because of this relationship, Xing Ruyi's rouge shop has been opening quite smoothly, and even those plots in the capital to pick quarrels and provoke troubles will go around her shop. Many years later, Xing Ruyi would still ask the fox a word, if he knew that those things would happen in the future, would he still encourage her to pay attention to the case of the boss of Mi Xing.
If she didn't pay attention, she wouldn't be familiar with Chang Tai and them, and if she wasn't familiar, maybe she wouldn't have those things later.
Xing Ruyi asked seriously, but the fox replied quite casually, he said: "What has happened is impossible to change." Something that can't be changed, any assumptions are meaningless. The important thing is not what happened, but that they are still together and have become a real husband and wife until now. ”
Memories are like a tidal wave, striking and receding quickly.
After Ruyi climbed out of her memory with difficulty, she found that she had stood with the fox in front of the Ruyi rouge shop. The plaque is as good as new, and even the lantern hanging at the door is as if it were new.
This rouge shop seems to have been maintained and cared for all the time.
Just as I was thinking, the door squeaked and opened from the inside.
