Chapter 72: Thanksgiving
After lingering with Qin Keqing for a while, Jia Rong spoke:
"It's still early, and there are some things that you still have to be prepared."
Qin Keqing, who was still leaning on Jia Rong's arms, tilted his head and asked, "Do you still want to go out?" ”
Jia Rong replied in Qin Keqing's ear: "If you don't go out, just make some preparations at home." ”
Qin Keqing got up slowly, "The slave family will help the master get dressed first." ”
Jia Rong changed into her regular clothes, hugged Qin Keqing again, and went straight to an empty wing room in the front yard.
He summoned the servants to prepare the raw materials for distillation, an iron pot, sake, and a steaming barrel, which were cooled and condensed with water to begin to purify the alcohol.
After a few hours, after some operation, a small jar of distilled liquor was also steamed.
Two large jars of wine can be steamed out of a small jar, and if the wine is taken out and sold, I don't know how much silver taels it should be priced.
While Jia Rong was thinking, someone from outside the door came in to report, "Uncle, Uncle Xue Pan Xue is visiting." ”
"That's it." Jia Rong replied.
After a while, Xue Pan staggered in, and as soon as he stepped into the door, he smelled the smell of wine.
Seeing that Jia Rong was holding a jar of wine in her hand, Xue Pan was very happy and said to Jia Rong:
"Brother Rong, you are preparing wine for me to drink, you are a righteous person, much stronger than Baoyu and Feng Ziying."
Xue Pan was not polite, snatched the wine jar with one hand, opened the stopper and smelled it.
"What kind of wine are you, the taste is quite strong, I don't know how it tastes."
After that, Xue Pan raised his head and took a sip when he lifted the wine jar, the spicy smell came, and the wine in his mouth was immediately spit on the ground by him.
"Brother Rong, what kind of wine are you, why is it so spicy, how can this be in your mouth, is it a trick on your brother and me."
Jia Rong took the wine jar, covered the stopper, and said to Xue Pan:
"This wasn't meant to be for you to drink, who told you to snatch it yourself, this wine just tasted like this, if you want to drink it, it will have to be aged for a while, but this wine is not what I was going to drink."
Xue Pan was puzzled and asked, "If you don't drink wine, can you still use it for it?" ”
"It's hard to explain to you for a while, go to the house first, and naturally there will be wine for you to eat." Jia Rong led Xue Pan to the reception room.
When the two came to the room, the little maid had prepared food and wine.
Jia Rong instructed: "Tell my wife, I will accompany Brother Xue in the front yard and let them eat by themselves." ”
The maid retreated, and Xue Pan quipped: "I didn't expect Brother Rong, you to be a afraid daughter-in-law." ”
Jia Rong smiled and did not speak.
I thought to myself, who am I afraid of my wife, and when you marry Xia Jingui, the lion of Hedong, you are the one who is afraid of your wife.
After the two drank a few glasses, Jia Rong asked, "Why did you come to my house today, Brother Xue has something to talk about?" ”
Xue Pan sighed, poured his wine glass again, and said: "If there is something, what else can happen, Baoyu is sick, the whole house is restless, and I can't hide outside during the day." ”
Jia Rong smiled, noncommittal.
Suddenly, Xue Pan remembered something and asked, "I heard that Brother Rong, you bought that Tingxuan Pavilion and were about to do a restaurant business, how could you not pull a brother if you have a business?" ”
After saying that, Jia Rong poured a full glass of wine for Xue Pan and explained:
"I haven't figured out how to do it yet, and I really have other uses for this one, Xue Jiafeng's seasoning business is not enough for you to chew."
Hearing this, Xue Pan didn't bother to look at it, and said with a smile:
"Although I am not an insatiable person, the more silver the better, since Brother Rong said that there is other use, then I will not fight. If I go to eat a banquet in the future, Brother Rong can't treat me badly. ”
After that, Xue Pan toasted a glass, Jia Rong accompanied the wine, drank it all and then said:
"How so? Brother Xue is the first noble person to help me, how can I forget my affection. ”
The wine was half-drunk, and the more Xue Pan looked at Jia Rong, the more pleasing he felt to the eye, and his head was a little dizzy at this time, so he preached to Jia Rong without thinking:
"Brother Rong, what do you think of my sister?"
This sentence made Jia Rong stunned, his sister? Xue Baochai? How, what, how?
Jia Rong was taken aback, and after coming back to her senses, she just replied slowly: "It's excellent." ”
"Hey." Xue Pan sighed again, "My mother has to think about what kind of golden and jade good fate, Baoyu is really unreliable, it's really not as good as Brother Rong." ”
Jia Rong only thought that Xue Pan was drunk, and didn't care about what he said, and persuaded: "Brother Xue, you are drunk, don't go back today, stay in my house for one night." ”
Xue Pan waved his hand and said: "No, it's better to go back, if not, my mother will lose her temper again." ”
Helping Xue Pan to get into the carriage, and telling the little guy who was driving the carriage a few words, Jia Rong returned to Qin Keqing's room in the inner courtyard.
By this time it was dark,
When Qin Keqing saw Jia Rong returning, he greeted him and asked with concern: "Master's business has been done, didn't you delay?" ”
Jia Rong said: "There is nothing wrong. ”
Qin Keqing seriously helped Jia Rong untie her robe and said again: "Master has eaten wine again, come and drink a bowl of sobering soup, slave."
It's ready. ”
Fu Jia Rong sat on the edge of the couch, Qin Keqing picked up the soup, put it in his mouth and blew it, and fed it with a spoon.
Jia Rong stared at Qin Keqing's lips, pushed away the soup she fed, and said, "If you feed me like this, I don't want to drink it." ”
Qin Keqing was a little puzzled and asked, "Then how should I feed my master?" ”
"You take a mouthful in your mouth first." Although he didn't understand what he meant, since Jia Rong spoke, Qin Keqing did so.
Suddenly, Jia Rong snatched the soup bowl, hugged Qin Keqing in her arms, put it on her face, and drank the soup in her mouth.
After some entanglement, Qin Keqing patted Jia Rong's chest to beg for mercy, Jia Rong got up and said, "It's right to feed it like this." ”
Qin Keqing's face seemed to be feverish, and he said: "Ye Xiu is going to mess around, it's time to rest." ”
After the two of them were lying on the couch in wide clothes, Jia Rong turned her face away, looked at Qin Keqing's eyes and said:
"My father-in-law said that he would help his husband repair the restaurant as a reward, so how should the lady repay her today?"
Although Qin Keqing had been prepared in his heart, he was still a little embarrassed at this time and wanted to hide in the quilt.
Unable to escape Jia Rong's clutches like this, Qin Keqing raised his face and said to Jia Rong: "Today, I will listen to all the masters." ”
……
Yesterday, Jia Rong "coerced the favor to report", and finally used the action that Qin Keqing was unwilling to cooperate with in the past, and after a few times, Qin Keqing had already begged for mercy again and again.
At this time, Jia Rong, who was jogging in the courtyard in the morning, was still having an endless aftertaste.
I don't know when Qingwen's girl will be able to make the fox tail well, how suitable this is for Keqing, and she can get some tricks when the time comes.
Just when Jia Rong was thinking a lot, someone came to the hospital to send a message, "Uncle, if there is something to do with the message of the Zhenwei Pavilion, please come over and make the decision." ”
"Okay, I know, get ready for the carriage and horses, and here we go."
Early in the morning, the Zhenwei Pavilion came to deliver the message, and now that everything is fine, Jia Rong can't think about what else to do.
