The moon is shining.

Lin Yunyan stood under the porch and waited.

When Bang Yue heard that she was going to enter the palace, she was quite incredible: "When this hour passes, the palace gate will be closed." ”

"Today's thanksgiving feast," Lin Yunyan explained, "will be later." ”

Bang Yue nodded and helped Niu Bo prepare the carriage together.

Lin Yunyan glanced at the two of them, and then turned her head to look at Chen Gui, who was talking to Lin Xun.

Chen Gui's reaction just now was to stop talking......

Lin Yunyan also wanted to turn around just now.

Her attention at first was all on the meaning of the words handed over by Xu Jian.

When I figured it out, I really couldn't help laughing.

It's really embarrassing for Chen Dongjia, bringing such "meaningful" words for Xu Jian.

After a short time, the carriage left the Sincerity Bo Mansion.

In Cining Palace, the Queen Mother was quite surprised by Lin Yunyan's arrival.

"Why did you come at this time?" She smiled and asked Lin Yunyan to sit down beside her.

"I'm greedy." Lin Yunyan said.

"What's the craving?" The Empress Dowager was happy when she heard it, "What is there in the mourning family, and what is lacking in your uncle's mansion?" Hurry up and tell the mourning family to listen to it, and change the mourning family to send you more. ”

Lin Yunyan pursed her lips and said in a low voice: "Gluttony that ancient moon tribute wine." ”

The Queen Mother was stunned.

Begging for wine?

I didn't expect that.

Yun Yan begged for candy and snacks, and it was the first time she begged for wine.

Sure enough, I grew up and was able to drink a few sips of wine.

"You rewarded me with that little bit last time, and I secretly gave a small half to the Duke of Fuguo," Lin Yunyan took the empress dowager's arm, "I just heard my father explain to his subordinates, saying that there is an important guest coming, and I want the guest to taste it too......

No, there is not even a taste left.

I had no choice but to rush to your rescue. ”

The Queen Mother listened, laughed uncontrollably, and reached out to touch the tip of Lin Yunyan's nose.

When you grow up, you really grow up.

I will think of good things to share with the people I like.

"It was the wine given to you by the mourning family, who are you not sharing?" The queen mother deliberately teased her, "Just tell your father honestly, can he still blame you for that sip of wine?" ”

Lin Yunyan buried her face in front of the Queen Mother, and said coquettishly: "Oh, you obviously know!" ”

The queen mother laughed so much that tears were about to come out, and she said "oops, oops" a few times.

The little girl's family at this age is really likable.

has a sweetheart, but his face is still thin.

People can't help but want to tease her.

The queen mother was satisfied, and waved her hand: "The mourning family will let people go and fetch it for you." ”

On the side, Mama Wang smiled and said, "Niangniang, you have divided it before, and there is nothing left in the library." ”

As soon as she said this, the Queen Mother remembered, and when she saw Lin Yunyan's bright eyes looking at her, she said, "The mourning family asked people to say to the saint, and it will be sent in a while." ”

"I'll go with my father-in-law to get wine," Lin Yunyan got up and said, "I'll make you laugh at it if I stay here!" ”

With that, she turned and ran.

When the Queen Mother saw it, she smiled again.

Until she left the hall and stood under the window outside, Lin Yunyan could hear the laughter of the lady inside.

She took a deep breath, the smile in her eyes was still there, but the delicate and shy look faded.

Pretend or coax.

She hoped that the Queen Mother would be happy.

And what can make the old man happy the most is naturally the happiness and smoothness of this family business, she and Xu Jian agree with each other.

Speaking of which, it is indeed quite desirable.

There is a common past, and there is a common future that must be cleaved.

I have been a husband and wife for many years, and I communicate with each other smoothly, and I can understand it at one point.

That's it, it's still not the same as the slimy and flirtatious you and me that the Queen Mother wants to see.

The happiness that the Queen Mother wants should be the ones that Chen Gui herself pondered before.

Thinking of "blind pondering" and Chen Gui who was uncomfortable, Lin Yunyan couldn't help laughing again.

Father-in-law got the order and hurried over.

Seeing Lin Yunyan's smile at a glance, his heart was beating with a puff.

Oh, the county lord must be thinking about the auxiliary prince.

These days, Niangniang's most joyful thing is the family business that the saint pointed out to the county lord.

After all, the county lord likes it himself!

The county lord likes it, and the queen mother likes it.

"The county lord," the father-in-law came forward, "the wine is all stored in the cellar of the storehouse, the road is not easy to walk at night, you are waiting in the side hall, the small one is going to get it?" ”

"It's okay," Lin Yunyan said, "Father-in-law will lead the way." ”

Younger than her father-in-law, according to her, she ordered another one to go to the saint.

Sheng Shangzheng was eating wine with Li Shao.

With a good wine, he was in good spirits.

"The article of the new champion is really good, I read his articles on the palace examination and the general examination, he has a lot of ideas, and I am very optimistic about him."

"There is a candidate from Shudi, who will take the test in general, but the palace test has been played, I heard that he arrived in Beijing ten years before the exam, a little unsuitable, it seems that the distance has affected some."

"From this point of view, it is very important for the imperial court to give candidates subsidies a year ago."

"This time it was finalized a little later, if the local governments had been informed earlier, many candidates would have been able to have less worries and enter Beijing in advance."

"At this point, I still have to praise Xu Jian a few words, at that time, the Ministry of Rites and the Shuntian Mansion were in order, each with its own reason, or Xu Jian took the documents into the imperial study."

"Shao'er, the charter is the charter, and at a critical time, you have to be able to make a decision."

Li Shao's sip of wine was blocked in his throat.

Tonight, he accompanied his father to have a drink and talk about some imperial examinations, he was generally interested, but after all, he watched politics in the Ministry of Rites every day, and he could also talk about the Tao.

Even if he was asked what he thought of a few articles, Li Shao could answer them.

Although he doesn't like those neat scientific research articles, he can definitely understand them if he looks at the ideas and good things.

Therefore, between their father and son, it can be said that they have a very happy conversation.

Who knows, coldly, Xu Jian's name has popped up again.

said that Xu Jian could make a decision, and Li Shao was very "convinced".

Can someone who doesn't dare to make a decision tie him up without saying a word?

Thinking of being tied up by Wuhua that day, Li Shao couldn't swallow this sip of wine.

Outside the hall, Gonggong Cao guarded.

In the distance, he saw a small chamberlain running over, so he walked over.

After seeing that it was the manpower in Cining Palace, Gonggong Cao asked, "What's the matter?" Does the Queen Mother have something to explain? ”

"The county lord wants to ask for some more Guyue tribute wine, but there is nothing left in Cining Palace, and the lady wants to ask the saint if he can go to the treasury to get some more."

Gonggong Cao turned his head to look at the hall.

The Holy and His Highness are eating and drinking, and it is the time when the interest is high.

The queen mother wants to pay tribute to wine, how can the saint not give it?

Why bother with this little thing?

He just had an idea.

The little waiter replied, and hurried outside the warehouse, just in time to meet Lin Yunyan and her father-in-law who were walking slowly.

In the warehouse, a few stewards and eunuchs who stayed behind were also eating and drinking, and they were lively and fist-fighting.

When he heard about his father-in-law's intentions, he looked at the county lord behind him again......

The eldest eunuch Gonggong Mao hurriedly took out a handkerchief and wiped the oil meat on his mouth: "County Lord, how can you settle down in this cold place?" If you want a drink, just send it to you. ”

Lin Yunyan looked at Father-in-law Mao and said, "Don't worry." I haven't seen the cellar where the wine is stored in the palace yet, and I'm here to go. ”

The county lord said so, and it was not easy for Gonggong Mao to refuse.

With a roll of his eyes, he hurriedly beckoned to another little eunuch on the side: "Zhuozi, why don't you hurry up and give the county lord a detailed introduction?" Lord of the county, let him tell you about it, and the little one will bring you wine. ”

The father-in-law helped Lin Yunyan down the cellar.

Father-in-law Zhuo followed on the side.

"This shelf is all tribute wine sent by Shudi, and the big wine jar in that corner is the daughter of Yugong, which has been around for some years."

Lin Yunyan looked left and right, and asked, "What about Gu Yue?" ”

Gonggong Zhuo pointed to the depths on the other side: "Have you seen those big wooden barrels?" That's it, they don't pretend to be the same as us. ”

Lin Yunyan walked over and pretended to be surprised: "Such a big bucket? ”

As she spoke, she tapped her knuckles on the bucket.

The voice was muffled, but it was still full.

"I've heard there's not much left." She said.

Zhuo Gonggong replied: "Less than three barrels." ”

Lin Yunyan bowed slightly.

Father-in-law Mao came over with an empty wine jar and said, "Don't worry, they are all clean jars, and the small ones will be filled with a jar for you and sealed them." ”

The jar was made of pottery, and Lin Yunyan saw that there were still a lot of piles on the ground not far away, so she asked, "Those are all already pretended?" ”

Gonggong Zhuo did not doubt him: "Yes, the Holy Lord will reward the new scholars today." ”

"Then don't bother Father-in-law Mao, I'll take the ready-made." As she spoke, Lin Yunyan walked over, bent down and picked up an altar from the ground.

Seeing this, Father-in-law Mao's face changed, and he hurriedly said: "The jar is not dusted, don't dirty your clothes, county lord." Qionglin came to pick it up before, and the cart was not loaded before it was left, and they had to come to pick it up when they didn't have enough to drink for a while. ”

The cellar was large, and it was only when they came in that they lit the torches on the wall of this place.

Under the flickering firelight, the slightest change in expression could not hide the eyes of others.

Grandpa Mao's nervousness was written on his face.

Lin Yunyan saw it in her eyes, and didn't immediately pierce him, but said: "They eat wine, and they have one more jar and one less jar?" I begged for two jars, this and that. ”

Father-in-law Mao sneered, his brain spun quickly, and he glanced at his father-in-law: "Hey, brother, say a few good words for my little brother." Those who guard the cellar of this storehouse do not see a single noble person on weekdays. It's rare for the county lord to come over today, and the younger brother is thinking about currying favor with the county lord, and he will fill two jars of wine, but the county lord will not give this opportunity. ”

Younger than the father-in-law laughed, smiled very really, but was not distracted at all.

He didn't enter the palace on the first day, just looking at this back and forth, he knew that "there was fraud in it".

Although I don't know exactly how to cheat, it's always a problem with the drink.

And as the father-in-law of Cining Palace, there is definitely nothing wrong with listening to the county lord and protecting the county lord.

"Then you pretend," is less than fair, "one more jar of wine, and you can lose your reward?" ”

Mao Gonggong should not be, should not be, should not be.

The jar in the county lord's arms was not Gu Yuegong wine at all.

If he installs another jar, Ming'er compares the two jars of wine, and there is no problem?

Thinking so, Grandpa Mao's eyes fell on one of the barrels again.

Or, pretend to be a fake one?

The fake is also a good wine.

These people are reluctant to buy such good wine when they pay for wine on weekdays.

The county lord's little girl's family, it is estimated that they can't taste the difference, so they will pass by in a fool's way.

As for the county lord, take it back and give it to the rest of the Lin family to drink......

Even if the drink is different from the last time, no one will be cheeky enough to say "the drink is wrong", right?

I'm not afraid to say it, I'm going to clean up overnight tonight, empty all the fakes, and report more or less losses, let's get over......

Thinking so, Mao Gonggong's heart was crossed and he walked to the wooden barrel containing the fake wine.

The plug on the barrel was opened, and the wine flowed down the pipe, and all fell into the jar below.

The aroma of wine came out, and people involuntarily took a deep breath.

Grandpa Mao was also inhaling.

It smells so good!

Such a good wine will definitely fool the past!

Gonggong Mao was thinking in his heart, when he suddenly heard a call from Gonggong Zhuo.

"What is the county lord doing?"

Father-in-law Mao hurriedly turned his head to look over.

When he saw that the county lord was holding her golden hairpin to draw the mouth of the altar, Mao's father-in-law's eyes widened.

"I've got all the wine, I'll open it and take a look." Lin Yunyan said, with another effort in her hands.

The mouth of the altar was opened.

The aroma of wine is intense.

Father-in-law Mao squeezed his eyebrows at Father-in-law Zhuo.

The back of Zhuo's neck was full of sweat, and he said: "Look, it's full of jars, no less, no less, you just hand it to the small one, and the small one will seal your mouth again?" ”

Lin Yunyan said, "Bring a wine cup." ”

Father-in-law Zhuo: "This ......"

Father-in-law didn't say a word, and saw a porcelain bowl upside down on the shelf next to him, so he reached out and took it, wiped it carefully with a handkerchief, and handed it to Lin Yunyan.

Lin Yunyan poured a bowl.

Just looking at the color of the wine and smelling the wine, she really can't tell the difference, but she believes in Xu Jian's judgment.

The so-called tribute wine that Xu Jian drank at the thanksgiving banquet was not the previous tribute wine.

And the jar she took was the wine that had been put out of the storehouse for the thanksgiving feast.

Judging from the reactions of Mao and Zhuo's fathers-in-law, this jar of wine is also problematic.

Picking up the bowl, Lin Yunyan took a sip.

The entrance is soft and mellow, but it is different from what she drank with Xu Jian that day.

"It's weird," Lin Yunyan deliberately pursed her lips, "Didn't pretend to be the wrong wine?" Why is it not the same as the last time my mother rewarded me? ”

Father-in-law Zhuo looked uncomfortable.

Father-in-law Mao's face turned white.

Could it be that the county lord really has the ability to distinguish wine? Does she really understand?

"Look at what you're talking about, it's all wine coming out of these big wooden barrels, how can it be different?" Grandpa Mao smiled dryly, "If you think the taste is wrong, it's better to refill it for you." ”

Lin Yunyan handed the bowl to her father-in-law: "Father-in-law try it." ”

At this time, what else does the father-in-law not understand?

It turned out that the gourd was selling this medicine.

The county lord begged for wine to be fake, found that the wine was wrong, and wanted to find out if it was true.

In all fairness, my father-in-law felt that this trip to the troubled waters was not good.

If he knew in advance, he would definitely persuade the county lord to say two sentences, true and false, which are thankless.

The relationship in the palace is complicated, who knows which party is behind the problem of tribute wine.

The affairs of the former dynasty were worried by the saints, and the affairs of the harem were presided over by the imperial concubine.

But now that he is here, it is impossible for him to dismantle the county lord's platform.

took a sip and tasted the completely different taste, which was less than the father-in-law's confidence: "It's really different from the taste of the mother's reward." ”

Thanks to the book friend Xu Bicheng's official girlfriend and Shi Dangdang's reward.
