Chapter 103: Wear a face covering
"I don't have as much leisure as you."
"Isn't it? If you didn't go to be happy, why did you come back so late? ”
Zhong Yihan asked Zhong Yiqing rhetorically: "You went to find the prince again, didn't you?" As I said, don't go any closer to the prince, or you'll reap the consequences. ”
In a word, Zhong Yiqing was angered.
"What I do, what I don't do, I don't need you to tell me." Zhong Yiqing took advantage of the wine, "Big brother, I heard from the people in the palace just now that an assassin made a big fuss in the palace, it can't be you, right?" ”
Zhong Yi's heart twitched, and his eyes narrowed.
"This kind of talk can't be nonsense. Especially in the absence of evidence. When the time comes, it will not only be your father who will be implicated, but also you. ”
Looking at Zhong Yihan's appearance, Zhong Yiqing suddenly laughed, and then patted Zhong Yihan's shoulder.
"Big brother, I'm kidding you. You take it seriously! It's boring. Sometimes, I really want to tear your mask off and see if you've ever smiled. ”
"Humph!"
Zhong Yihan didn't say anything more and went back to his room.
Zhong Yiqing was about to go back, but he came to find him. Zhong Yiqing was afraid that Zhong Yihan and Zhen Guogong would see it, so he brought the catcher into the room.
"What's wrong?"
As soon as he saw the panicked appearance of the catcher, Zhong Yiqing knew that the situation was wrong. In particular, the face is red and swollen, and it is very ugly.
Quickly approached Zhong Yiqing's ears and whispered: "Someone from the palace came to the palace just now and rescued Lu Xiyi from the prison!" ”
When it happened, Zhong Yiqing was completely drunk, and grabbed the collar of catching fast.
"What's going on?"
"I heard that Gonggong Mo of Shangshan Jian said that the emperor wants jade ice roast, and that kind of jade ice roast can only be brewed by Lu Xiyi, so Lord Du had to let Lu Xiyi go."
Zhong Yiqing saw with his own eyes that the tribute wine and jade ice roast had just been sent to the palace a few days ago, why was it gone?
"Lu Xiyi is really lucky!"
"Now that Lu Xiyi is brewing jade ice roast in the capital for the emperor, we can't mess with her again in the future."
Zhong Yiqing's face was gloomy, and he walked twice, his eyes looking at the dark night.
"I only have the only way to get Lu Xiyi!"
The next day, it was a sunny day, and Lu Xiyi woke up with plans to go for a walk in the garden and breathe fresh air. But he ran into Huck in the hallway.
Huck showed his big teeth with a smug and confident smile on his face.
"You haven't forgotten that we had a competition today, have you?"
Lu Xiyi smiled back.
"Nature has not forgotten. But it doesn't start so early, right? ”
Huck is an impatient, just do it.
"Look, I've bought all the brewing guys back!"
Lu Xiyi looked out of the door, a few feet set up a shed outside the door of the post house, and set up a stove under the shed, and all the tribute tools for winemaking, Huck was ready.
Lu Xiyi was surprised, she didn't do anything! Moreover, yesterday, Grandpa Mo had also conveyed his will to ask her to brew jade ice roast immediately, where would she have time to compete with Huck?
"Huck, why don't we compare another day, okay? I have a particularly important thing to do today. ”
"What's the matter?"
Huck had a slight look of displeasure on his face.
"I'm going to make fine wine for an important client, so can I wait until I make a good wine and then I can compete with you?"
Huck snorted angrily, like a cow snorting.
"You Yongguo people, how can you not speak?"
If she just said Lu Xiyi, she didn't have anything to say, but with the word "all", Lu Xiyi was very angry.
"Envoy Huck, please speak carefully, because it is possible to offend not only me, but also the entire people of Yongguo."
Huck pouted disdainfully.
"It was meant to be! Your Majesty the Emperor told us that Jade Ice Roast is the best wine in your Yongguo, and it can be called the national wine, but last night he only gave us a taste of Qianri Spring, and said that he would give us a taste of Jade Ice Roast in a few days. If you want me to see, there is no jade ice burning in your country at all, but it is just an exaggeration of His Majesty the Emperor. ”
Now Lu Xiyi finally figured out why the Mo Gong Guild in the palace came out overnight and asked her to brew jade ice roast, it turned out that the foreign envoys wanted to taste it. It's just that I don't know why the jade ice that just entered the palace is gone.
"That's just right!"
Huck raised an eyebrow.
"Good what?"
Lu Xiyi clapped his hands.
"I'm going to brew jade ice grill today, and if you want to taste it, I'll grant your wish."
"Huh?" Huck looked puzzled, "Can your jade ice burn be compared to the one in the palace?" ”
"Of course it can be compared!" Liu Ji also came out of his room at this time, "The Yubing Shochu Tribute Wine in the palace is brewed by our family Xiaolu. ”
Huck was still confused.
"Lu Xiyi, is this true?"
Guan Cheng was walking in from outside, and Liu Ji pointed to Guan Cheng and said to Huck, "Why don't you ask him." ”
"Stop!"
Huck roared at the pavilion, and the pavilion was so frightened that his legs went limp.
"Envoy, if you need anything, I'll buy it for you."
Huck waved his hand as if to chase away a fly.
"I don't want to buy anything, is the jade ice roast in the palace brewed by this Miss Lu?"
He slapped fifty times last night, and now Guan Cheng's face is still swollen, although the pain is unbearable, he still smiles at Lu Xiyi and Liu Ji.
"Envoy Hitch, our Miss Lu is first-class in winemaking, and the emperor is full of praise for her fruit wine, and he has a soft spot for jade ice roast. If you drink the jade ice roast of the shopkeeper Lu, you don't want to drink other wine in this life. ”
What Guan Cheng said was so amazing that Huck really wanted to give it a try.
"Okay, our bet continues! Miss Lu, you brew your jade ice roast, and I brew my wine. When the time comes, it will be brewed for the people of the capital to taste. ”
If it's the national wine, Huck can't deal with it hastily, he also has to brew the national wine of the Li country to deal with the jade ice burning.
"This is the prosperous era of the two countries, and I will spread the news to the streets and alleys today, so that everyone in the capital can come and take a look."
Guan Cheng couldn't wait to flatter Lu Xiyi and Huck.
If it rises to the two-state level, it will be very bad for Haque.
"Lord Guancheng, I think it's better to keep a low profile." Liu Ji said.
"Why?"
Guan Cheng felt that he had come up with a good idea.
Liu Ji looked at Huck and Lu Xiyi and thought about it.
"Not only can't you be too high-profile, but I think Envoy Huck and Xiao Lu still have to wear a mask so that others can't see what you look like."
Huck was just as puzzled as Guancheng.
"Why?"
Lu Xiyi's heart is very good, and he understands it when he thinks about it.
"Your Excellency, if you don't wear a mask, I'll take advantage of you."
Huck frowned, as deep as a ditch.
"If you think about it, a woman competes with a man, and before the comparison, the man suffers first, because people will always have sympathy, and this sympathy adds some points to the woman. Also, now that we are competing in the capital, if the people in the capital see that you are a foreigner, in order to save the face of the country, some people will say that the wine you brew is not good even if they think that the wine you brew is delicious. ”
Huck suddenly realized. It seems that Lu Xiyi and Liu Ji are not insidious people, and they win by conspiracy.
"Yes, yes, yes! We're going to wear a face covering. ”
