Chapter 483: The Snow Melts
The carriage stopped at the stage decorated with snow, and when the cold wind hit, the little boy took the black porcelain altar in the hands of the middle-aged man and lifted the curtain that could not block the winter snow.
The little boy got out of the carriage slowly, afraid that there would be any accident with the black porcelain altar in his hand.
The old man wearing a bamboo hat carefully picked up the middle-aged man who couldn't walk, and walked towards the stone bridge step by step.
The three of them were silent, and the wind and snow were still coming.
The streets in the alleys have a lot of snow, and few shops are open. In fact, even if a shop opens, it will not go out to clear the snow. Because Taiping Town is like this, after the snow falls in winter, people don't want to move, but just want to drink wine slowly at home and chat. Their lives are comfortable, ordinary, but less strife.
In their hearts, let the snow fall when it is heavy, and there will be a day when the snow will stop. Why be in a hurry, why go against this God.
In the alley, he couldn't set foot in the snow, so the old man used his body to stand against the snow and walked towards the alley step by step.
His legs were cold, but he was still cautious, for fear of startling the middle-aged man who seemed to be asleep.
The little boy holding the black porcelain altar followed behind him, and he looked at everything around him curiously, knowing in his heart that this was the place where he would live in the future. But at the same time, he also secretly swore in his heart that he would go back to the prosperous capital one day!
In the snow, the three of them walked slowly and finally came to a wine shop.
This wine shop has been sealed for many years, and when no one takes care of it, the door panels of the sealed shop are also missing corners. But thankfully, on the small signboard, the words 'century-old store' are not damaged and are still intact.
"Young Master, it's here. "The old man gasped, carrying the middle-aged man on his back, and stood in front of the door of the 'century-old store'.
After hearing the sound, the middle-aged man raised his head, and the snowflakes shook in front of him, and he felt a lot in his heart when he opened his eyes!
He used to be respected. Now he has become a lost dog. He used to be invincible. Now he is embarrassed and disabled. In the past, he looked sideways at the opposition. Now he is not as good as Murano's puppet......
Looking at the signboard of the 'century-old store', the middle-aged man's mood slowly changed. Having lost a lot, he couldn't help but have tears in his eyes when he saw this signboard since he was a child.
After a long silence, the middle-aged man took out a bunch of keys from the compartment on his chest, and while giving it to the old man, he said, "Go through the side door, don't disturb the others......"
In response, the old man carried the middle-aged man around to the side door of the 'century-old shop', tried several keys before opening the rusty door lock and walking in.
There is a new owner in the 'century-old shop', but no one knows about it in Taiping Town.
The old man who sold wine didn't come back, and he didn't know when the wine that could compete with the 'peach blossom wine' would appear.
Everything was as usual, until the smoke of the 'century-old shop' lit up, and the people of Taiping Town knew that someone had settled in the liquor shop. Asked if he could sell 'osmanthus brew', but the boy's answer was that he didn't make wine......
At the end of winter, the new festival has passed, the snow has already stopped, and the frost is cold and terrifying.
In the early morning of that day, the 'Millennium Wine' opened its doors as usual, and two people who didn't go out often also arrived wrapped in thick cotton jackets.
On the wooden wheelchair, the middle-aged man turned white at some point, and the little boy who pushed him didn't have the strength to help him enter the wine shop, so he had to call the owner of the wine shop.
Walking out of the store, Yu Yu looked at the white-headed middle-aged man and was not surprised, and invited the two to enter through the side door, and he sealed the shop with the door panel.
In the courtyard of the quadrangle, the door of the main house is open. The little boy didn't go in, but just stood outside the door, warming his hands.
In the lobby, there was a stove to warm the cold temperature, and Yu Yu sat opposite the middle-aged man with disabled legs.
In the middle of them, in addition to the charcoal-lit stove, there was a table.
On the table, one was the black porcelain jar brought by the middle-aged man, and the other was the wine jar that Yu Yu took out of the wine cellar.
"Boss, I have admired the name for a long time......"
After sitting down for a long time, the middle-aged man finally spoke.
And after hearing this, Yi Yu also bowed his hand and said: "Meng Gongzi, I have admired the name for a long time!"
After that, the two of them said no more.
Yan Yu knew that this middle-aged man was the son of an old man selling alcohol. She also knew why he was the way he was......
After being silent for a long time, Yan Yu looked at the black porcelain altar, and finally couldn't help asking, "May I ask Childe, what is in this black altar? Why didn't your father come back with you?"
"My father has passed away, and inside this black porcelain altar is my father's ashes. Slowly replied, Meng Gongzi's eyes were always blank, and his expression was always indifferent.
"He, how did he die?" Yan Yu, who closed his eyes, looked at the chair leaning back, although he had already guessed it, he was still inevitably sad.
"On the way to the national capital, he suddenly died violently. Brushing his somewhat messy white hair with his hands, when Meng Gongzi said this, I'm afraid even he wouldn't believe it......
Yan Yu didn't talk again, and she didn't want to question this poor Meng Gongzi. After all, he and the old man who sold wine were just confidants hidden in their hearts, not relatives who could vent, so how could they be qualified to blame his son......
"Boss, what kind of wine is in your wine jar?" After a long time, Meng Gongzi opened his mouth, and a trace of gleam appeared in his eyes.
In fact, Yu Yu knew his intentions. On the night the old man left, he also told himself that his son was a drunkard......
"'Summer and winter are warm'! I promised to wait for your father to come back and treat him to a tasting of wine. Sitting up, Yu Yu put his hand on the wine jar and said.
"Yes......" Meng Gongzi said, but did not continue to speak.
Seeing this, Yan Yu looked at Meng Gongzi, who was silent at this time, shook his head and smiled indifferently, and then said, "Meng Gongzi, your father once gave me a jar of wine. Say, "If you come one day, let you taste it." Now, I'm going to fetch ......"
As he spoke, Yu Yu stood up and walked towards the door.
She didn't go far, but walked only a few steps before she stopped under the peach blossom tree in the flower bed.
The boy wanted to come and help, but Yu refused and just asked him to come into the house to warm up, but the boy also refused.
Shaking his head helplessly, Yan Yu swept away a piece of snow under the tree with his sleeves. With her hands frozen, she dug up directly. The altar of 'Spring and Autumn Drunk' was not buried very deeply, and after the nails were stained with mud, he dug it out.
Lovingly wiping the soil on the wine jar with his sleeves, Yan Yu walked into the house with this altar of 'Spring and Autumn Drunk'.
Seeing that the rain came back with mud, Meng Gongzi, who raised his head, just stared intently at the wine in the rain arms, and stopped talking about it, but did not dare to speak......
Two jars of wine were opened one after another. When the aroma of the two completely different wines wafted out, the little boy standing outside the door sniffed, uncomfortable.
The two people in the room poured each a cup, and invariably saluted the black porcelain altar, and then scattered around them.
Among them, one is dedicated to his mourning father, and the other is dedicated to his venerable old friend!
That day, Yu Yu got drunk again. What is different is that Meng Gongzi, who has white hair and decadent body and mind, accompanied her to get drunk.
Two jars of wine, Yan Yu and Gu Gongzi drank separately, and they actually drank it all day. There were no appetizers, they drank like that, and no one had a smile on their faces......
The next morning, the 'Millennium Wine' did not open as usual, and the man pushing the cart knocked on the door, but no one answered.
Yan Yu was drunk and couldn't wake up when he was drunk, but Meng Gongzi was carried away by the old man called by the boy, and went home crying while vomiting.
When Meng Gongzi was drunk, he talked a lot with Yan Yu. But for some reason, Yan Yu didn't want to listen, he seemed to be talking about how ruthless the new emperor was, how to cross the river and tear down the bridge. Yan Yu couldn't remember, but he didn't want to interrupt him while drinking.
In fact, since the old man who sold wine left Taiping Town that day, Yan Yu had already anticipated his end. It is simply delusional to change a country with the power of one person. If this person is a monk, it would be fine! He is just an old man who has seen through the glitz and is hiding in peace. How could anything good come of this......
The 'summer and winter warmth' brewed by himself was not drunk by the old man who sold wine. He brewed the 'Spring and Autumn Drunk', but he rushed to drink most of it. The taste of the wine, Yu Yu vaguely remembered that it was very soft, but after waking up, somehow, he forgot the taste of the wine. How to recall, how to recall, can no longer remember half of it.
But happily, Yan Yu remembered that he asked Na Meng Gongzi if he would brew 'osmanthus brew'. And Meng Gongzi's answer is that it will brew ......
The snow in Taiping Town has completely melted.
I can't remember the taste of 'spring and autumn drunk', and since this day, I have never drunk alcohol again. Even if she makes her own wine, she only smells it with her nose and doesn't stick to her lips at all.
The '100-year-old store', which had been closed for three years, has reopened. In addition to 'osmanthus brewing', there are also many fine wines. The price is not expensive, but it is a rare and excellent fruit wine.
The days in Taiping Town have returned to their former peace, and the 'Biography of the Second Prince of Tao', which has not been written by Li Yu, was also written overnight with the news brought by Wang Da's matchmaker.
In 'The Legend of the Second Prince of Peach', Peach Er married a woman dressed in red. This woman, Momoji loves her very much. For her, he was willing to give up his immortal path and accompanied her to live in seclusion in a place where he was a Aoki sect. And the woman's name is Yan Yu.
In reality, this seems to unify the "Meng Kingdom" of the world!
An official named Gu Xiaochun married the emperor's sister, and thus became an important minister trusted by the emperor!
The love story between Gu Gongzi and the eldest princess was naturally rendered by the actors on the stage. Just like Gu Gongzi once said, his story will be sung by others, and ordinary will never be allowed......
