"Sister Chaoxia, what's wrong?"

Lu Xiang'er walked into the Piaoxiang Wine Workshop, but found that Chaoxia was left behind, and looked back a little strangely. And Chaoxia just retracted her gaze, so she smiled at Lu Xiang'er and shook her head. It's not that she doesn't want to say it, but there are a lot of people in the wine shop at this time, and it is inconvenient for Chaoxia to say anything.

After getting along with Chaoxia for a few years, Lu Xianger has already cultivated a tacit understanding with her. When she saw that Chaoxia didn't say anything, she knew that this was not the time to speak. Therefore, Lu Xiang'er continued to turn around and raised her voice to Xiao Er at the counter: "Brother Ping, your shopkeeper is here, I am here to settle last month's accounts today." ”

"It's Little Lady Lu and Little Lady Chaoxia. Our shopkeeper has already instructed you to go directly to the backyard to talk to him when you two come. The little brother who looked ordinary, but the corners of his mouth were very sweet, saw Lu Xiang'er and Chaoxia from the crowd, and hurriedly greeted him loudly.

"Then Brother Ping'er is busy, Sister Chaoxia and I will go to the back by ourselves." Lu Xiang'er nodded to Brother Ping, smiled, and went directly to the backyard with Chaoxia.

The backyard of Piaoxiang Wine Shop is not large, but there are many simple rooms, which are full of wine vats. So, as soon as you enter the backyard, you can smell a strong aroma of wine. It was not the first time that Lu Xianger and Chaoxia had come to this backyard, and they were very familiar with coming to a spacious and bright house.

Before Lu Xiang'er and Chaoxia could walk inside, someone in the room laughed and said, "Little lady Lu and little lady Chaoxia, I've been waiting for a long time, please come in." ”

The man was about thirty years old, and his complexion was slightly dark. He has an ordinary appearance, and has two mustaches above his lips. The figure is a little blessed. Dressed in a navy blue collared robe, it looks very rich. When he saw Lu Xiang'er and Chaoxia, he smiled very happily.

"The shopkeeper is polite." Lu Xiang'er and Chaoxia blessed the person in front of them, and then followed him into the living room of the room.

When Lu Xiang'er and Chaoxia sat down one after another, the shopkeeper got up and closed the door, and covered a gap to see the outside. After he turned around, he hurriedly walked up to Lu Xiang'er and gave a big gift. Without waiting for Lu Xiang'er to get up and return the salute, the shopkeeper immediately stepped aside, bowed and said, "Engong, the little one has said it many times, this is the proper courtesy." ”

"Uncle Mu Sheng, it's been three years, why haven't you changed at all. Okay, let's get along with our own families, don't be 'small' or anything. Lu Xiang'er sat down helplessly, but Chaoxia smiled with relief.

This shopkeeper is the son of Yuan Craftsman, Yuan Musheng, who originally made distillers for Lu Xianger. Back then, Lu Xianger bought the courtyard of the Yuan family, which made Yuan Craftsman and Yuan Musheng father and son very grateful. Later, Yuan Craftsman learned that Lu Xianger wanted to find a reliable person to help her do things, so she left Yuan Musheng behind and went back to Jiangnan to retire.

Yuan Musheng was able to learn the craftsmanship of Yuan craftsmen back then, which shows that he is not a stupid person. Lu Xianger believed this, so she made him the shopkeeper of Piaoxiang Wine Workshop. As a result, it turned out that Lu Xianger was right. Yuan Musheng went from being uncomfortable at the beginning to being handy now, and it only took more than three years.

What makes Lu Xiang'er most proud is that Piaoxiang Distillery is under the management of Yuan Musheng, and no one knows from him who makes the soju. No one knew that the real owner of Piaoxiang Wine Workshop was the Lu family, which saved the Lu family a lot of trouble. The Lu family is still the original Lu family, and Lu Erniang also lives a calm and ordinary life as always.

After a few words of gossip, Lu Xiang'er asked as usual, "Uncle Mu Sheng, has anyone come to inquire about who made the soju recently?" ”

"The people who come to inquire about shochu have never stopped." Yuan Musheng smiled slightly, with a sense of confidence, and said lightly: "However, no one has ever found useful news from me since childhood. At this point, please rest assured that the little lady. ”

After speaking, Yuan Musheng turned around and took the account book that had been prepared to Lu Xiang'er in front of him. Hearing that Lu Xiang'er was coming, he spent a night very carefully to prepare the accounts for this period of time and prepare to show Lu Xiang'er.

Lu Xiang'er waved her hand: "Uncle Mu Sheng, I didn't come to the wine shop today to see the accounts, you can put it up first." ”

I don't want to look at the accounts, but I want to ask if the wine has been selling well lately. Yuan Musheng had some scheming in his heart, put away the account book, turned around and said, "That little lady wants to ask about this fruit bar." In the past year or so, the taste of fruit wine brewed by various wineries is similar to that made by the little lady, so ......"

"Uncle Mu Sheng, I didn't come today to ask about this. Come, you sit down first. Lu Xiang'er got up, stopped Yuan Musheng's words, and asked him to sit on the chair beside him.

Lu Xiang'er's actions made Yuan Musheng's heart immediately rise a little worried, he really couldn't think of the purpose of Lu Xiang'er coming to the wine shop today. In front of Lu Xiang'er, Yuan Musheng is not the high-spirited Yuan shopkeeper in the eyes of everyone, but the Yuan Musheng who was in distress back then.

Seeing the look on Yuan Musheng's face, Chaoxia didn't have any expression, just sat there quietly drinking tea. And Lu Xiang'er hurriedly said: "Uncle Mu Sheng, don't be nervous, I have nothing to do here." I'm just, I just want to ask, does Little Peach come to the brewery often? ”

"Little, little peach?!" Yuan Musheng suddenly raised his head and found Lu Xiang'er's burning gaze. In an instant, a little fine sweat immediately appeared on his forehead, and his face was a little embarrassed and a little ashamed.

Seeing Yuan Musheng's appearance, Lu Xiang'er understood seven or eight points in her heart. Suddenly, her face was also difficult to look at, and Chaoxia's expression became serious, and her expression when she looked at Yuan Musheng was a little disdainful. Lu Xiang'er didn't expect that in three years, Yuan Musheng's person would be fat and his heart would be high.

Just as Lu Xiang'er was about to say something, Yuan Musheng, who raised his head and saw her and Chaoxia's faces, suddenly jumped up and said urgently: "Little lady, don't think about it, nothing really happened between the little one and the little peach." She, she, seduced, seduced me many times, and the little one never couldn't hold himself......"

The more Yuan Musheng spoke, the more anxious he became, his face was so anxious that his face turned red, and the sweat on his forehead couldn't withstand his movements, and some of them had already flowed down. Lu Xiang'er and Chaoxia listened to Yuan Musheng's defense, but they didn't believe it very much, so it can be seen that he didn't look like pretending, and they were relieved.

In other words, Lu Xiang'er had long seen that Xiao Tao, who came to the Lu family at the same time as Zao'er, had some careful thoughts of her own. But she never did anything to 'betray the master', and Lu Xiang'er, who was always busy, didn't care. As for her always taking the opportunity to bully Zao'er, Lu Xiang'er also used words to point at her. And in the recent period, if it weren't for Lu Erniang who wanted to go out but couldn't find Xiao Tao, Lu Xiang'er wouldn't care.

When Lu Xianger really noticed Xiao Tao, she found that she often came to Piaoxiang Wine Workshop. After Chaoxia's secret observation, he found that Xiao Tao and Yuan Musheng were very close. Every time she came to the winery, she would find Yuan Musheng and spend some time alone with him.

Although Yuan Musheng has a lot of peaches, and he has already married. But this man and woman get along alone, and Lu Xianger can't be allowed not to think in that direction. In order to confirm whether she was thinking wrong, Lu Xianger also deliberately talked to Zao'er, who lived in the same room with Xiao Tao. As a result, Lu Xianger realized that she didn't know when, Xiao Tao had the idea of being a concubine for Yuan Musheng.

Xiao Tao, a girl who has no 'freedom', dares to secretly look for a man behind her 'master's back'. This made Lu Erniang, who came out of the big house, extremely angry. Just after listening to Lu Xiang'er, her whole body trembled with anger. Moreover, he also asked Lu Xiang'er to come to Yuan Musheng immediately to confront him.

And Lu Xianger was not so angry that Xiao Tao wanted to 'find a man'. What makes her unacceptable is that Yuan Musheng has just gotten married and is a 'married man'. Xiao Tao is an unmarried woman who doesn't want to be someone's 'wife', but wants to be a 'concubine'. For this reason, Xiao Tao also disregarded his shame to seduce others. This made Lu Xiang'er unable to bear it anymore, there was such a girl by her side.

Just when Lu Xiang'er was angry and wanted to say something, Chaoxia suddenly rushed in front of her and said, "Uncle Mu Sheng, this shouldn't have been us. But my aunt has been sick with little peach gas, so Xiang'er and I have to come on behalf of my aunt. Please Uncle Mu Sheng forgive Chaoxia for being unreasonable, Chaoxia wants to ask on behalf of her aunt: Uncle Mu Sheng, have you ever thought about accepting Xiao Tao as your 'concubine'? ”

"No, no, absolutely not." Yuan Musheng was asked by Chaoxia like this, his face immediately turned a little pale, and he hurriedly explained to her: "Little lady Chaoxia, I really have never had such a mind about Xiao Tao. I, Yuan Musheng, can have today, all because of the grace of Little Lady Lu. If I really did something sorry for the Lu family, I, Yuan Musheng, would not be worthy of living in this world for once, and my father would not recognize me as a son......"

After Yuan Musheng's assurances and showing that he had no intention of taking a concubine, Lu Xianger and Chaoxia finally believed him. Thinking about it, Yuan Musheng was just passive in this matter, and Xiao Tao wanted to be his concubine. In this way, Xiao Tao's behavior has to make Lu Xianger think about it.

Xiao Tao has been in the Lu family for more than three years, but she knows a lot of things, so she can't just let her leave like this. Lu Xiang'er made up her mind, then got up and began to appease Yuan Musheng: "Uncle Musheng, I know your thoughts, I will talk to A-Niang when I go back." Speaking of which, Xiang'er still has to apologize to Uncle Mu Sheng, if we hadn't noticed, we wouldn't have let Xiao Tao disturb Uncle Mu Sheng's life. ”

"Oh, little lady, you don't need to apologize to me. Looking back now, maybe I did something to make Xiao Tao misunderstand, so she thought so. Yuan Musheng saw that Lu Xiang'er's face was not so ugly, and his heart calmed down a lot. Speaking of which, he was pestered by Xiao Tao, and he couldn't tell Lu Xiang'er and them, and his heart was also very awkward. Now that it's all said, Yuan Musheng has also counted on his mind.

Lu Xiang'er and Chaoxia understood the truth of the matter, but there was no trace of relaxation in their hearts. With some sadness, the two left the Piaoxiang Wine Shop. In Brother Ping's eyes, he thought that Lu Xiang'er was so sad because the fruit wine she brewed was not selling well, and the shopkeeper didn't want to sell her fruit wine on her behalf.
