Lu Xiang'er knew that the appearance of this unique soju in the Great Zhou Dynasty would definitely attract people's attention and jealousy, and it would definitely attract their peeps.

However, Lu Xiang'er didn't think enough about it, and it wasn't far-reaching enough. She and Ben never imagined that this 'soju' was silver in the eyes of some people. For the sake of these white flowers, those greedy people can do anything.

Lu Xianger didn't think of this, but Chaoxia, who has experienced too much, understands it very well. It's just that she was afraid of scaring Lu Xiang'er, so she didn't say it so clearly. Even so, Lu Xiang'er was in a hurry, walking back and forth in the house: "It's been three years, why don't these people give up." ”

"It's because it's been three years that these people can't wait." Chaoxia glanced at Lu Xiang'er and said softly: "If you say that when soju just started to be sold out, those people just thought it was a rare thing and were more interested. But in the past three years, the name of soju has almost spread throughout the Great Zhou Dynasty. As the price of soju gets higher and higher, I am afraid that even ordinary people know how good the business of Piaoxiang Distillery is. ”

"I didn't expect it to be so difficult to make some money." Lu Xiang'er smiled bitterly and sat down a little weakly.

Chaoxia looked at Lu Xiang'er's appearance, and she didn't want to say it but had to say: "Eye-catching business is difficult to do, unless there is a backer behind it." However, at present, Mr. Song is too far away from us, and Master Ye has been transferred to other places, and we really don't have anyone to rely on here. ”

"Sister Chaoxia, I'm a little messy now, what do you say I should do?" Lu Xiang'er didn't know if she could hide this time.

In the past three years, nothing big has happened to Piaoxiang Winery. Even if there were people who wanted to buy the liquor shop, they were blocked by Ye Feng, the county magistrate of Qingshi County. Unexpectedly, as soon as this Ye Feng was transferred, those who didn't give up jumped out. Just like Chaoxia said, if you can't find a 'backer' this time, this Piaoxiang Wine Shop will have to close its doors if it changes hands.

Backer, where to find a backer? Lu Xiang'er lowered her head and pondered. Suddenly, Lu Xiang'er thought of someone, and hurriedly raised her head and said to Chaoxia: "Sister Chaoxia, if my brother achieves good results in this imperial examination and has fame, do you think these people will be more restrained?" ”

"It's possible." Chaoxia's eyes lit up when she heard Lu Xiang'er talk about Lu Hong, and she nodded slightly. But when she thought of something, she said in embarrassment: "But I'm afraid it's too late." What worries me the most now is that our yard is a little unsafe. I'm afraid that these people can't wait, so they will resort to some obscene means. ”

"Sister Chaoxia, you said them, they will really ......" Lu Xiang'er's eyes widened, a little incredulous. But when you think of the dark things you know, it's really possible. Therefore, she didn't know what to say for a while.

Chaoxia followed Lu Xiang'er's words and said, "Now there are four women in our family, I'm really afraid that these people will come directly to disturb our home." Besides, she doesn't know that she always goes out, and I can't always follow her. In case ......"

"There is no 'what if', no 'just in case', I want to send Ah Niang away, I want to send Ah Niang away." Lu Xiang'er stood up suddenly, she couldn't tolerate others doing things that hurt her family. Especially Lu Xiang'er's dearest Lu Erniang, she can't watch her relatives get hurt because of herself.

Chaoxia agreed with Lu Xiang'er's opinion very much, and nodded: "It's okay, where are you going to send your aunt to Xiang'er?" ”

"Where?! Let me think about it. Lu Xiang'er forced herself to calm down, and slowly thought about where Lu Erniang could go: "Qinghe Village? No, it's too close to Qingshi County. Gangneung Province? No, it's unfamiliar. Mr. Song, Jingshi ......"

"By the way, Sister Chaoxia, let A-Niang go to Beijing. I believe that with Mr. Song's protection, no one dares to take A-Niang what to do. Lu Xiang'er patted her head, blaming herself for thinking of Song Yuanlai.

Chaoxia thought of Song Yuan, and also agreed with Lu Xiang'er's idea. However, thinking of Lu Erniang's temper, Chaoxia was not sure that she would go to Jingshi so obediently. Lu Xiang'er thought of Song Yuan, and naturally thought of Lu Erniang's temperament. Thinking of how to let Lu Erniang go to Beijing, Lu Xiang'er had a headache again.

Just thinking about it, Zao'er knocked on the door and asked Lu Xiang'er if she had finished reading the account book, because she was going to have dinner. Lu Xiang'er and Chaoxia only realized at this time that it was already very dark outside. Thinking about whether Lu Erniang would suspect anything, the two quickly came to the front. Unexpectedly, Lu Hong, who was supposed to come back tomorrow, sat at the table and chatted with Lu Erniang.

"Brother, are you back so soon?" When Lu Xiang'er saw that Lu Hong was back, her heart was a little calmer. With Lu Hong talking to Lu Erniang, she will definitely not have the mind to doubt Lu Xiang'er anymore.

"I was going to come back tomorrow. However, I got out of school very early today, so I ran back. Lu Hong found that Lu Xiang'er and Chaoxia both seemed to be a little tired, so he smiled and said: "It seems that the business of the wine shop is good, Xiang'er and Sister Chaoxia have been looking at the account books for so long." After reading it, do you want me to help. ”

"No need, I've finished reading it with Sister Chaoxia." Lu Xiang'er smiled at Lu Hong and shook her head.

Lu Erniang finally saw that the family was doing it together again, and she didn't want her children to talk about the wine shop again, so she smiled and said, "Okay, okay, let's eat first." After eating, you brothers and sisters will have time to talk well. ”

"Got it, A-Niang." Lu Xiang'er and Lu Hong spoke at the same time, making Lu Erniang smile again. When she sandwiched their favorite dishes for their children and Chaoxia, the family officially started dinner.

After dinner, Lu Erniang was in a very good mood, and she didn't let Lu Xiang'er and a few juniors go back to the room, and they all sat in the living room and chatted. Several people saw that Lu Erniang had such a high interest, so they all gathered next to Lu Erniang and listened to Lu Hong talk about the college examination and the things in the academy.

heard that Lu Hong did well in the college examination, and Lu Erniang, Lu Xianger and Chaoxia were all happy for him. Especially Lu Xiang'er, who immediately clamored to celebrate Lu Hong tomorrow. Lu Hong was a little too early. What he meant was that when he passed the township exam, it would not be too late to celebrate.

Lu Erniang agreed with Lu Xiang'er's opinion and said, "If you are not at home, we will have dinner." Tomorrow is just to make more delicious food, and there is nothing to bother. Besides, our family is not without money now, so we listen to Xiang'er. Tomorrow, A-Niang will cook by herself and cook a few of your favorite dishes. ”

"A-Niang still knows that Xiang'er is greedy, A-Niang is the best." Lu Xiang'er was tired of being by Lu Erniang's side like when she was a child, which made Lu Erniangle's eyes narrow.

After talking for a while, it wasn't until a few people found that Lu Erniang was a little tired that they ended chatting. After a brief wash, the group went back to their rooms to get ready for bed. And when Lu Xianger just wanted to lie down, the door was knocked on by Lu Hong.

"Brother, it's so late, why don't you go to sleep?" Lu Xiang'er was very strange, but she still opened the door and let Lu Hong in.

Lu Hong shook his head and said, "Xiang'er, it's so late, I won't go in." You accompany your brother to sit under the grape trellis in front of you. ”

Looking at Lu Hong's face, he should have something to say to Lu Xiang'er. Lu Xiang'er nodded, put on a dress and followed Lu Hong to the grape trellis in the front yard. The brother and sister sat opposite each other on the stone bench, but Lu Hong didn't say anything at first, but poured a cup of hot tea for Lu Xiang'er.

Lu Xiang'er looked at the teapot and teacup on the stone table, and said strangely: "Brother, what do you have to say to Xiang'er?" ”

"Yes, I have something to say to you." When Lu Hong raised his head, his expression had become a little serious: "What's the matter with Xiao Tao?" ”

Seeing that Lu Hong was asking Xiao Tao, Lu Xiang'er secretly breathed a sigh of relief. However, Lu Xiang'er didn't plan to say what she had about Xiao Tao, so she took a sip of tea to sort out her thoughts. When she put down the teacup, Lu Xianger seduced Xiao Tao how she wanted to be Yuan Musheng's concubine; And after Yuan Musheng dodged away, Xiao Tao looked at Lu Hong's eyes in front of Lu Erniang. finally angered Lu Erniang and sold Xiao Tao again.

Lu Hong didn't expect Xiao Tao to hit himself with the idea, and his face was a little unnatural. After coughing, Lu Hongcai said softly: "I didn't expect Xiao Tao to become like this, so I'll sell it if I sell it." However, Xiang'er, Xiao Tao has been distilling soju with you for a few years, aren't you afraid that she will tell the soju process or brew it herself? ”

"Of course I'm not afraid." Lu Xiang'er smiled slightly and said lightly: "Actually, over the years, when I distilled soju, I kept a hand. Moreover, Xiao Tao and Jujube don't know what is inside the still, and the fermentation of the liquor is also different from ordinary liquor. ”

"Oh, so I'm relieved." Lu Hong nodded, his face much more relaxed.

Lu Xiang'er thought that Lu Hong had nothing to ask, and she also felt a little tired, so she said to Lu Hong and prepared to get up and go back to sleep. But when she just turned around and was about to leave, Lu Hong said faintly: "Xiang'er, do you need your brother to help you with everything now?" ”

"Brother, why do you ask that?" Lu Xiang'er turned around quickly, with an inexplicable expression. Thinking that it might be Xiao Tao's matter, Lu Hong thought too much, Lu Xiang'er hurriedly said: "Brother, I don't want to drive Xiao Tao away so quickly, but A-Niang was so angry at the time, so I followed her......"

"Xiang'er, I'm not talking about Xiao Peach." Lu Hong got up slowly, looked at Lu Xiang'er's eyes and said seriously: "What I said is what you and Sister Chaoxia talked about in the room in the afternoon. ”

Hearing what Lu Hong said, Lu Xiang'er's face immediately changed to a look of shock: "Brother, have you heard everything?" ”

"No, I only heard a little, so I went to accompany A-Niang." Lu Hong's face was also much more solemn at this time, and he said seriously again: "Xiang'er, my brother just wants to tell you that I am also from this family. Moreover, still a man. Brother doesn't want anything to happen, it's all up to you to fight it alone. ”
