Chapter 81: Willing to Fight, Willing to Suffer

Shopkeeper Zhuo opened a wooden door from under the counter and brought up the only twenty-year-old Qianrichun hidden here.

And the Thousand Days Spring is famous for less than 30 years, and the 20-year-old wine can be regarded as the best in the Thousand Days Spring, almost the product of the same era as the name of the Imperial Wine, this kind of wine is very little cellared in the large cellar of the entire garden shop, and there is such a small jar on the storefront.

The prince has only tasted it twice, once when the daughter of the prefect of Chunhui Mansion married into the palace and was named Zhaorong, and when the banquet was held, the garden spread an unprecedented cellar of twenty altars, and the second time was when he went to Zhouzhuang, he was cheeky to ask the shopkeeper for it, and spent fifty taels of silver to buy an altar.

Rare is expensive, a thousand days of spring brewed every year, but the more aged wine can be opened a jar less than a jar.

Now seeing that the shopkeeper Zhuo actually sells such a superb wine from an outsider, he suddenly couldn't sit still, put down the wine glass and walked to the counter to have a theory with the shopkeeper.

"Shopkeeper Zhuo, I've begged you for this wine for I don't know how many times, if you want to sell it, you have to sell me first, right?"

In Ji Yuan's eyes, the prince's heavy figure is also burly, of course, it is really not inferior to the Li Da Niu on the ship before, and listening to what he said, he also knows that this wine should be very precious.

Forget about anything else, but this is a thousand days of Chen's twenty-year-old spring, and Ji Yuan is still a little greedy, how could he miss it, and he hurriedly entered the shop.

"That's it, shopkeeper, how much is this wine a catty, or two taels?"

Shopkeeper Zhuo looked at Wang Zizhong on the side, hesitated for a moment and spoke with a shy face.

"Yes, it's still two taels of silver a catty, and if the guest officer doesn't have enough money, he can take credit!"

The prince is a first-class master who has become famous in his forties, and his eyes will be rounded and stared at the shopkeeper Zhuo, who is itchy by him but insists on pushing the wine out.

But this prince also looked at the door, just now he was excited and angry, and now that he thinks about it, he can let the shopkeeper Zhuo not even have a face in front of him, and the identity of the wine buyer is worth scrutinizing, so he didn't really interrupt the deal.

Ji Yuan wanted to taste the twenty-year-old Thousand Days Spring, but he was not a greedy drunkard who was addicted to alcohol, so he naturally took out the pottery wine bottle before in the baggage.

"Bring your own flask, how much does it cost to beat a catty?"

Shopkeeper Zhuo was slightly stunned, and immediately reacted and replied:

"Since the guest officer brings his own wine jug, it is naturally cheaper, so he will pay 800 yuan a catty, but the guest officer wants to buy a catty?"

"Ho ......"

The prince let out a subtle and strange inhalation sound in his throat, and he forced his face away and didn't look at the wine jar, although the shopkeeper couldn't hear it, but Ji Yuan heard it clearly.

Ji Yuan looked at the calm appearance of the shopkeeper and the rather interesting performance of others, and also smiled, the last time I thought it was so interesting, I still listened to the conversation between Qingsong Dao and his apprentice Qi Wen in the Huike Building.

"Okay, if you are tired of the shopkeeper's drinking, you will buy a catty. ”

Put the wine jug on the counter, Ji Yuan then took out a certain amount of round silver and a few grains of broken silver from his arms and put them on the table.

This kind of spoon has a name, called four taels of mention, as the name suggests, it is to fill a spoonful of about four taels of wine, four times is a catty, but this time after the shopkeeper finished lifting four times, he lifted half a spoon, and directly filled the wine close to the mouth of the pot before stopping.

Then he took the silver and weighed it on the side, and then crackled and counted it on the abacus.

"The silver weighs one or two twenty-one baht, and the money is eight hundred and seventy-five Wen, guest officer, this is your change fifteen as five treasures. ”

Ji Yuan took the money, lifted the wine and cushioned it.

"Okay, thank you Shopkeeper Zhuo, then I'm leaving. ”

Ji Yuan, who thanked him, saw that the shopkeeper also hurriedly returned the gift behind the counter, so he smiled again, he was a wonderful person.

didn't say anything more, took the wine pot and stepped out of the garden shop, and left in the direction of the downtown area.

"Hey, guest, go slowly, go slowly! Guest, come back next time~~!"

Shopkeeper Zhuo was still shouting at the top of his voice, and when he couldn't see Ji Yuan's back, he couldn't hold back a smile on his face, and apologized to the prince on the side again and again.

"My third master, I'm going to accompany you next, it's just an emergency, you see that there are still four catties left in this aged Qianri Spring, and I will sell it to you!"

Although Wang Zizhong was still wondering about Ji Yuan's identity, he was also overjoyed when he heard the words of Zhuo's shopkeeper.

"Then how much do I buy a pound?"

"It's also two taels, it's also two taels!"

Shopkeeper Zhuo is in a good mood at the moment, even if he gives it away for nothing, as long as the prince really speaks, he will agree.

"Hahahaha, this is pretty much the same!, but Shopkeeper Zhuo can easily reveal who is here?"

"Hey, hey, don't say it, don't say it, it's not that Zhuo doesn't want to say it, but it's inconvenient to say, selling this pound of wine, Zhuo feels refreshed and has a good idea, if he bumps into that one day... Guest, it's always right to be courteous. ”

Some things, when the parties suddenly realize that something is wrong, the more they think about it, the more they feel wrong, and some cases are the opposite, such as the current Zhuo shopkeeper, the more he thinks about it, the more he feels that it is worth it.

。。。

It was past noon, Ji Yuan nibbled on a penny of foamed vegetable buns, and walked south after leaving the East City Gate.

The Chunmu River meanders for a long time, and the Jiang Shrine naturally cannot have only one, but if you want to talk about the largest and most orthodox, it is naturally the Jiang Shrine outside the city of Chunhui Mansion.

Anyway, I also came to Chunhui Mansion, and the scenery of the first word of the Chunmu River still has to be appreciated, and the closer you get to the Jiang Shrine, the flow of people around you will gradually increase.

You can smell a sandalwood fragrance wafting from afar, and the noisy sound on the side of the ancestral temple also came together, and before you arrived at the ancestral temple, there were vendors along the river and the roadside who were constantly shouting.

Selling sandalwood and candles, selling sugar gourds and selling preserved fruits, and even selling beauty fans, rouge and gouache, which makes Ji Yuan also an ear-opener.

"All good men and women come to see it, the talisman of the temple is opened......"

"Incense candles are cheap, incense candles, don't forget to burn incense when you enter the temple to worship God~~!"

"Purse, good-looking purse~~"

......

"Hey, this guest officer, I see that you are a knowledgeable scholar, do you want to buy a few sticks of incense, Master Jiang Shen will bless you with your high school fame!"

When they arrived at the gate of the temple, there were more and more vendors of blessing goods, and there were vendors shouting at Ji Yuan.

Ji Yuan stopped and asked the vendor a little strangely:

"This Jiang God still cares about fame?"

"Hey, what you said, seeking fame, seeking fame, seeking peace, seeking marriage, as long as you ask for it, Master Jiang Shen will bless you, buy two pillars of incense, right?"

Even marriage?

Ji Yuan is happy, but it seems that the previous life is similar, and many temples can ask for anything.

"Let's have a stick of incense. ”

"Okay, two pennies a stick, take the incense!"

Ji Yuan paid the money and took the incense, and entered the ancestral temple area, which felt like entering a special park, with a wall gallery with eaves in the inner and outer gardens, an inscription wall for literati, a river port for the release of life, a pavilion and corridor for people to sit on, as well as large and small incense burners and merit boxes, as well as the flow of people who offered incense......

And the real Jiang God Temple is also a big house with exaggerated eaves, there is no clay sculpture of a subordinate official inside and outside the ancestral temple, nearly 200 square meters of space in addition to the incense burner, futon, offering table, tribute, wooden fence, there is only one statue of the god of the river five feet high.

The statue of the god has a serious face, the eyebrows are depicted by the craftsmen like waves, a long hairpin is inserted into a bun hat, and the robe is also like flowing water, and the overall carving is very expressive.

Ji Yuan also followed the pilgrims to the oil lamp at the temple to borrow the fire to light incense, and when he arrived at the statue of the god of Jiang, he could hear the various prayers of the pilgrims, some normal and some absurd, some interesting and some heavy to listen to.

However, it is not wrong to ask for a smooth boat ride through the river, and you can also take a side if you want the wind and rain along the river, but you can ask for a long life and wealth and fame marriage, it is better to go to worship the city god.

The god of mountains and rivers is different from the city god and some land lords, except for the very special situation of the edict, most of them are practiced, either through the long years of cultivation through the difficult connection of mountains and rivers or water veins, or through the legendary edict to obtain the orthodox god of the god of mountains and rivers.

Folk incense is just an auxiliary for them, and they are already diligent if they can manage the affairs of the rivers.

And those who occupy a certain amount of mountains and rivers and have obtained a little bit of the landscape and want to rely on the power of incense to help them become orthodox may respond to some prayers.

As for this Muchun River God, it is an old scaleless white Jiao, and there is a record in the foreign legend: its dragon can not be made twice, and the scale armor is gone.

Despite this, Bai Jiao is also an extremely rare Yijiang righteous god, and he can really rule the Chunmu River.

Ji Yuan didn't ask for anything, but he bowed twice without losing his respect, and then inserted the incense into the big incense ding.

This incense is inserted, and Ji Yuan can vaguely see that there is a yellow aura rising and disappearing, which is much more spectacular than the occasional trace of the breath of the entire ancestral temple.
