A scholar of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty

"Oh." The little boy beside him let out a long sigh.

There is also some food to go with the wine, Gu Qing instructed, "I am preparing some pork head meat, and I also have some cold dishes, to prepare some cucumbers."

People in this era don't eat much pork, but they can still be bought from some farmers' homes, a few dishes of pork head meat, Gu Qing personally made a bowl of fried bean sprouts, fried some beans to go with the wine.

Fan Jian came to Cheng's wine shop and said to the manager, "My family is mainly here to carry some jars of spirits."

The manager of the wine shop looked up at Fan Jian, and asked the servants around him to bring out several jars of spirits, "Deduct the money from Lord Gu's account."

"Wait!" Fan Jian said, "My Patriarch said that the spirits will be aged. Have you buried more than ten jars in your wine shop?"

"I can't give it to you. My Duke Lu is a treasure of those jars of spirits." The manager of the wine shop said again, "I can't get them out. Didn't your own Gu family also hide a few jars?"

It seems that he won't give it. Fan Jian walked out of the winery with a few jars of spirits, feeling a little aggrieved in his heart.

The dwarf who was collecting stall money in various villages saw Fan Jian approaching him and asked, "What are you doing? Weeping."

Shorty and Fan Jian are acquainted, and like the fat monk, he is a very important person in Bizhai. This person is responsible for most of the dark lines in Chang'an.

"What are you doing?" Fan Jian wondered.

"It's not that farmers rushing to the morning market want to grab stalls. I'll fix a few stalls for them to earn some money." The dwarf yawned and said, "It's tiring to get up early every day to grab stalls before dawn."

"You earn a lot." Fan Jian asked in a low voice.

"I've already sold out the average stalls in the entire East Market. Tell me how much I earned." The dwarf smirked, "Seeing your face, what trouble did you encounter?"

"The master brought some jars of aged spirits from Chen's winery, but Cheng's winery refused to give them." Fan Jian said melancholy.

"The wine shop of Cheng's family has been watching closely, especially the big dogs they keep are very fierce. Fortunately, I have become familiar with those guys. I will find a way for you about this matter. Then you will be smart point."

"What rules?" Fan Jian was curious.

"Just wait." The dwarf smiled mysteriously and went to Cheng's wine shop, and in less than half a stick of incense, he came with a cart full of jars of wine.

Fan Jian looked at the mud on a jar of spirits, and the mud on the wine jar looked like it had just been dug out.

"Take it." The dwarf said, "I am very familiar with those guys from Cheng's Winery, and sometimes I can even ask for a few drinks with them. Take this wine, and don't come again these few days Here it is."

"Why?" Fan Jian was at a loss.

"Where is so much nonsense," said the dwarf, "Hurry up and go."

Fan Jian dug up several jars of aged spirits from the Cheng family's wine shop. The Gu family hadn't picked up wine from the Cheng family for many years.

"Huh?" Gu Qing looked at several jars of spirits, "I gave you eight jars, when did you become so polite?"

"The manager of Cheng's wine shop said that it was for the owner of the family to drink anyway, and said that the owner couldn't drink much." Fan Jian said, his old face blushed for a while, "so he gave a few more jars."

Gu Qing was still worried, mainly because he was worried about the character of the Cheng family. After opening a few jars and smelling them for confirmation, he nodded in relief.

After a while, Cheng Yaojin, Niu Jinda, and Li Xiaogong were killed.

"Little Gu Qing!" Cheng Yaojin yelled at the gate of the Gu family, "Come out and die!"

Fan Jian hurried out of the house and first saluted, "General Cheng, General Niu, Prince Hejian."

"Where's Gu Qing?" Cheng Yaojin said murderously, but sniffed, "It smells so good!"

"Everyone, please come in, the head of the family has already prepared the food and wine." Fan Jian invited to speak.

"Don't think that the matter of serving good wine and good food is just forgone. Today's old man has to figure it out with Gu Qing!" Cheng Yaojin walked into the house cursing, and the smell of wine became stronger and stronger. When he looked up, he saw Gu Qing standing there. The front yard is full of smiles.

"It's really early, you uncles." Gu Qing said with a smile.

"It smells so good, I never thought you had such a good wine hidden in your house." Cheng Yaojin sniffed it again and couldn't help but nodded.

It seems that Cheng Yaojin didn't know that he brought the wine from his wine cellar, Gu Qing continued, "I'm afraid the uncles came here because of the matter of roasting chestnuts in sugar."

Smelling the aroma of wine, Cheng Yaojin said absent-mindedly, "The wine in your house is well prepared."

"Alcohol is not important." Gu Qing said, "Stir-fried chestnuts are important, right?"

"Stir-fried chestnuts in sugar!" Cheng Yaojin said, shaking his sleeves, "Drink it as soon as possible while the smell of the wine is gone. If the smell of the wine is gone, what am I going to drink?"

"Uncle Cheng really doesn't want to know what's going on with candied chestnuts?" Gu Qing asked again.

"Stir-fried chestnuts in sugar are not as important as drinking alcohol." Cheng Yaojin was eager to see through.

"Then Uncle Cheng, don't you blame the kid?" Gu Qing said.

"It's trivial to blame anything." Cheng Yaojin didn't care.

Li Xiaogong also swallowed hard, Niu Jinda looked at the drinks in the lobby from time to time, "Let's talk while drinking."

"Okay." Gu Qing invited several people into the lobby.

Cheng Yaojin hurriedly sat down and took a sip and said, "Wow hahaha, good wine! I also buried several jars of spirits in my old Cheng Winery, and I think it will be more fragrant than these wines in the future."

"Cough, cough, cough." Hearing these words, Fan Jian coughed vigorously.

Gu Qing drank the grape wine by himself, Li Xiaogong looked at Gu Qing, "Tell me, what do you mean by abolishing such a big Zhou Zhang and making a circle around us all?"

Several servants of the Gu family brought three bowls of sugar-fried chestnuts. Obviously, the sugar-fried chestnuts in front of me are not as attractive as wine. Old spirits are not something you can drink at ordinary times. The reason is to give Uncle Cheng an excuse to come out, what His Royal Highness the King of Wu and Uncle Cheng have said, Uncle Cheng's closed door and no one with a discerning eye can see what is going on."

"Changsun Wuji must have seen it." Li Xiaogong said.

Niu Jinda also nodded, saying that the atmosphere became quieter for this reason, Cheng Yaojin said while drinking, "It's not easy for me to intervene in this matter, and none of us will intervene, Gu Qing! No matter what His Royal Highness Wu wants to do, Don't talk nonsense outside."

Gu Qing asked Fan Jian, the only servant beside him, to step back and close the door.

Cheng Yaojin said, "The king of Wu, Li Ke, wants my boy to go to Dongwu to help him put down the banditry."

"There are bandits in Soochow?" Li Xiaogong was puzzled.

"Not necessarily!" Niu Jinda shook his head and said, "If there are really bandits, the one His Highness King Wu wants to see is not you, Cheng Yaojin, but His Majesty at the Palace of Ganlu. The so-called quelling the bandits is just that he wants to recruit troops first. It's just an excuse."

"Are you self-respecting?" Li Xiaogong was puzzled.

Gu Qing thought in his heart that he really didn't want to take care of the bad debts of Li's second son's family, but Haikou in Dongwu was a very important place for him, and the waterways in the Central Plains couldn't bypass Dongwu.

"Actually, the old man agreed to His Royal Highness King Wu's plan." Cheng Yaojin said, "It's just that I have to say when I will send someone to help King Wu."

What is Cheng Yaojin, the demon king of the world, planning? Seeing Cheng Yaojin looking at him, Gu Qing asked suspiciously, "I also ask Uncle Cheng to enlighten me."

"His Royal Highness Wu came to look for this old man. He just wanted to win me over. After all these years, this old man has already lost his prestige in the army. How can he win me over?" Cheng Yaojin said again, "What he really wants to win over is this old man's son. Mo, you just wait and see, Wu Wang Li Ke will definitely try to fortify his Soochow dignitaries before he leaves Chang'an, no matter whether His Highness Wu Wang has two intentions or not, we must be on guard."
