He has drunk wine from this era, and to be honest, the taste is very average.

It tastes the same as the hundreds of dollars of wine he bought in the supermarket before.

Unscrew the cork with a corkscrew, pour a glass lightly, put it under your nose and smell it.

The taste is a bit rushed.

Zhou Jinyan had a bad premonition in his heart. If it doesn't taste good and doesn't conform to the drinking habits of people in Datang, then it's useless to say it's good.

Gently shake the light rose liquid juice in the goblet, after a while, lower your head and sniff again, suddenly a wisp of wine's unique aroma, which may be condensed from mellow, fruity, and delicate fragrance, hits your nostrils, Refreshing.

Zhou Jinyan blinked, took a sip, and suddenly a smooth liquid made him intoxicated.There is no sour feeling at all.

Compared with the red wine he drank before, there was a clear difference.

When the wine entered his belly, a soft, delicate and delicious feeling attracted Zhou Jinyan to take another sip.

Before he knew it, half a glass of red wine had already been drunk, and Zhou Jinyan toasted again only to realize that the wine was gone.

"Good wine."

Zhou Jinyan doesn't understand red wine, but at this moment, he feels that all the red wine in Datang is rubbish in front of this bottle of red wine.

Quickly put away the red wine, Zhou Jinyan felt that these bottles of red wine would be of great use in the future.

Early the next morning, Zhou Jinyan got up early and went for a run in the back garden to exercise.

After eating breakfast, he was about to go to Sun Simiao to treat Du Ruhui, when he saw the little girl Haizao, wagging her ponytails, running towards here panting.

"Lang Jun, something is wrong."

Zhou Jinyan sat on a long wooden bench beside him, and said with a smile, "You can't do something good for me every day, so why don't you bring me something good?"

"Ah?" Haizao shook her ponytails with a bitter expression on her face.

Zhou Jinyan taught her to tie these ponytails. Compared with the previous bun, Zhou Jinyan felt that this was in line with the girlish temperament.

He likes it too.

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

"Oh," Haizao came to his senses and said anxiously, "Someone came from the palace and said that he would take you to meet the Holy One."

"I see."

Zhou Jinyan got up, walked two steps forward slowly, and stopped again.

"Lang Jun."

Haizao accidentally bumped into him.

Zhou Jinyan said lightly: "After I go out, close the door of the mansion, and no one is allowed to enter."

Seaweed became anxious, "Lang Jun, has something serious happened?"

Zhou Jinyan knew that he had frightened Xiao Nizi, so he smiled and said: "It's okay, it should be that the sage wants to eat spicy strips."

"Not at all."

Seaweed is not stupid, on the contrary, she is very smart, but in this kind of matter, she has no choice but to secretly pray that her master is okay.

In the study room of a side hall of Tai Chi Palace.

Li Shimin frowned deeply, somewhat angry in his heart.

This anger did not come from Zhou Jinyan, but from Changsun Chong.

After Zhou Jinyan committed the crime, he knew about it yesterday, but he didn't expect that Chang Sun Chong would come to file a complaint at this time.

It made Li Shimin very angry.

"Enough, I know everything."

Li Shimin patted the table heavily and said displeasedly.

Changsun Chong and Wu Cheng looked at each other, then stopped talking.

Wucheng is the chief steward of Princess Guantao's residence, and it would be best for Chang Sun Chong to wait for him to file a complaint, and now it seems that the effect is good.

Chang Sun Chong was very satisfied.

"Your Majesty, Zhou Jinyan brought it here."

"Announce him in."

After seeing the ceremony, Li Shimin asked in a deep voice: "Jinyan, let me ask you, did you hurt Cui's housekeeper and Cui Liang yesterday?"

"That's right," Zhou Jin said, "It's just that they provoked first, and the minister is just protecting himself."

"Bullshit!"

Changsun Chong shouted: "You took your servants to Cui's shop and smashed them indiscriminately, what are you protecting yourself?"

"I said what does your majesty say about Cui's family affairs have anything to do with you?" Zhou Jinyan looked back at him.

"You," Chang Sun Chong was taken aback for a moment, and said angrily, "You have violated the laws of the country. As Zongzheng Shaoqing, why can't I take care of you?"

"The dog takes the mouse."

Zhou Jinyan glanced at him, and gasped for breath.

Chapter 45

"That's enough," Li Shimin shouted, "Let me give you time to explain, let me tell you what's going on."

"The matter is very simple. The Cui Mansion sent people to smash my shop. Marquis Wu did not see anyone from the beginning to the end, so I smashed it back. That's it."

"We should smash your shop, why do you smash our shop?"

Zhou Jinyan was a little dazed, "You should smash my shop?"

Wu Cheng took out a contract from his arms, "You sold our Cui family's things without authorization in your shop, and it would be considered light if you smashed it. Take a look at what is written on it?"

Zhou Jinyan felt that the matter was not that simple, so he hurriedly took over.

When I saw it, I was a little stunned.

It is clearly written in black and white on the paper that all related rocking chairs and similar products are produced by the Cui family. Without the authorization of the Cui family, no one can sell rocking chairs.

Offenders will smash the shop at least, and close the shop and arrest people if they are serious. They will be punished as crimes.

Wu Cheng grinned and said, "Did you see that? Zhou Jinyan, we are doing things in an upright manner. You smashed the shop and hurt people indiscriminately. This is a serious crime. How do you explain it now?"

Zhou Jinyan handed the paper to the servant, "Your Majesty, the Happy Chair was created by me, and the Cui family stole it. I hope Your Majesty will learn from it."

What Li Shimin knew was that Zhou Jinyan sold the Cui family's things and was smashed by the Cui family.

Zhou Jinyan brought someone back and smashed it back, injuring him.

But now he suddenly felt that things were not that simple.

The day before yesterday, his younger sister Li Danyue, Princess Guantao, was holding a piece of paper for him to stamp.

Li Danyue seldom begged him, so Li Shimin glanced at him casually, seeing that it was a business matter, he didn't ask any more questions, and stamped it generously.

Looking at it now, isn't it the piece of paper in front of you?

He took a look and immediately understood.

He had seen the Happy Chair before, so he naturally knew that it was made by Zhou Jinyan, and the Cui family's rocking chair was probably an imitation.

Now it's the thief calling for the thief, but the key is that the thief is Princess Guantao whom he feels owed.

Li Shimin scratched his head with great emotion.

Zhou Jinyan must be right, but Li Danyue is also right.

The jade seal is covered, what could be wrong?

It was him who was wrong, he was fooled by the little girl in a daze.

In the study room, it was a little quiet for a while.

Li Shimin was in a dilemma, and wanted Zhou Jinyan to take a step back, but he couldn't say it.

If Zhou Jinyan made a concession, Chang Sun Chong would definitely bite him to death.

After thinking this through, he gave Chang Sun Chong a hard look.

The eldest grandson shrank his neck, startled.

Seeing Li Shimin's hesitation, Zhou Jinyan suddenly understood his embarrassment.

After hesitating for a while, he clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, the Cui family said that his family created the happy chair and the rocking chair first, and I said that I created it first. Convincing someone, since this is the case, I have a good suggestion."

"Oh," Li Shimin's eyes lit up, he glanced at him appreciatively, and said with a smile, "Tell me, what can I do?"

Wu Cheng was dumbfounded. The contract clearly stipulated that both the rocking chair and the Happy Chair belonged to his Cui family.

When Zhou Jinyan said this, didn't it mean that the contract was invalid?

"His Majesty!"

Wu Cheng shouted: "I..."

"shut up!"

Li Shimin gave him a hard look.

Wu Cheng was so frightened that he knelt on the ground with a thud, prostrate on the ground and dared not speak.

Chang Sun Chong also reacted at this time, and took a deep look at Zhou Jinyan.

Zhou Jinyan ignored the two, and said to himself: "Your Majesty, Zhou Ji sells Xiaoyao chairs, and his Cui family sells rocking chairs. I will know who is the authentic one by comparing them."

"Oh, what's the comparison?" Li Shimin became interested.

"Each make an authentic chair, whoever is better will be authentic."

"Of course it's my Cui family's good." Wu Cheng couldn't help muttering.

"Which one is good and which one is not, I suggest letting the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs to evaluate it." Zhou Jinyan said loudly, "Whoever is good is authentic, and this contract, if it is good, it will belong to whoever it is."

Fortune and misfortune depend on each other, although this time he was calculated, it also gave him the right to crack down on pirates.

Moreover, Li Shimin could only agree.

Li Shimin nodded and asked Wu Chengdao: "What do you think?"

When had the Cui family been afraid of such a thing?

Wu Cheng blushed excitedly and said: "Your Majesty, I am willing to accept his challenge. But I have one condition."

"You said."

"If Zhou Jinyan loses, it proves that the rocking chair belongs to my Cui family, how should I deal with him?"

Li Shimin was furious, and looked at Wucheng with burning eyes.

Changsun Chong smiled wryly and pulled Wucheng.

Wu Cheng was puzzled and gave him a blank look.

"Your Majesty, since there is a competition, you have to win the lottery. I agree with Wu Guanshi."

This matter is not good for you kid, Li Shimin was very puzzled and said: "Are you sure?"

"Sure!"

Zhou Jinyan nodded.

"Okay," Li Shimin said lightly, "Wucheng, what conditions do you have?"

"If our Cui family wins, our Cui family will take over all of Zhou's printing shop and furniture shop, and Zhou Jinyan will never do business again."

It's just business.

Li Shimin nodded slightly, looked at Zhou Jinyan, "What conditions do you have?"

"Simple," Zhou Jinyan smiled slightly, "If I win, I want all the Cui family's stores in Chang'an to belong to me."

The eldest grandson gasped, this kid dares to think.
