Reborn with super powers: The general wants to repay his kindness

He knew that this was caused by the Sixth Prince's "falling out of favor". The second brother thought that Yilan's biggest support as the young master was gone, and it would be someone else's turn to take the lead.But don't think about it, if the sixth prince really falls out of favor, then not only Yilan's position will be endangered, but also the entire Shang family.

The rules for concubines in merchant families are not so strict. The second brother was born as a concubine and was once the strongest competitor of the head of the Shang family.As a direct child, he was not as favored as his second brother.Later, he was able to defeat his second brother and take this position only after his younger sister entered the palace and gained favor.It's just that the second brother thinks that he is not as good as him in terms of ability, and he has always been unconvinced.

"As a father, I know what you said, but it's a pity that not everyone can listen to your advice." In his opinion, the Shang family is an imperial businessman and has now reached its peak. If he takes another step forward, what lies ahead will not be riches and splendor but It was an abyss, so after his sister entered the palace, he was even more cautious, fearing that he would make the wrong step. "Father will find ways to solve these problems, but the matter of your little lady Li..."

"Father, do you know what happened to the Xia family, a big tea merchant, more than ten years ago?"

"The Xia family? What does this have to do with the Xia family? The Xia family was famous for its tea and wine, but the tea and wine they brewed later were far inferior to those of other tea merchants. Now they can only barely maintain it."

She was also very interested in the tea wine brewed by the Xia family at the beginning, but because the quantity was small, the Shang family only had a few jars. Now there is only the last jar left in the wine cellar, and she is a little worried when she thinks that she will never be able to drink this wine again. Feeling distressed.

"Miss Li wrote to me asking about tea wine. She seems to have plans to brew tea wine." Shang Yilan said.

"What?!" The head of the Shang family almost broke the tea bowl in his hand. "She knows how to make tea wine? Could it be that she has a recipe? Didn't the person in the Xia family who knew how to make tea wine die?"

"Dead? How did he die? How could the Xia family let such a person die?" Shang Yilan didn't understand. He didn't know much about the Xia family in detail. He only knew that the Xia family was rising rapidly but it was very difficult. He's about to lose ground, but he doesn't know why.

"Died in a fire." The head of the Shang family stroked his beard and sneered: "The Xia family is just a group of short-sighted guys. They allowed that person to struggle in the back house, and as a result, that person's youngest son died due to other people's schemes. , in desperation, the man burned himself and the tea and wine shop together, and no one could save him."

Shang Yilan felt very sorry after hearing this. It was a pity that such a person fell into the hands of a group of short-sighted people like the Xia family. He also lamented the fierceness of that person. Thinking of the content written in Li Cheng's letter, he thought for a while and said: "Maybe that person is not dead. But the golden cicada sheds its shell."

Shang Yilan thought about the people around Li Cheng and whether there was anyone who matched him.

The head of the Shang family was also excited and almost pulled off a beard. If authentic tea wine would be available again, why should he feel sorry for the jar of wine in the wine cellar?If that person is still alive, he must be protected from others!

"You must inquire about this matter carefully. Don't worry, your mother will make it clear to your father. However, your life-long event cannot be delayed any longer. Be careful that people in the clan will use this matter as a reason to cause trouble." The head of the Shang family Very simply, he kicked his son out after saying that.

Shang Yilan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. His father always got drunk when he talked about good wine, so he was easy to coax.

Zhengyang Village

Li Cheng received another letter from Shang Yilan, thinking that Shang Yilan's letters had become somewhat frequent recently.

Opening the letter, she finally saw what she wanted to know. After giving her the prescription, Grandma Jiang could have imagined that she would inquire about the Shang family.However, seeing those past events still surprised Li Cheng. He didn't expect that Grandma Jiang would have such a life experience.

People who have been in the apocalypse don't dare to underestimate anyone, but she still underestimated Grandma Jiang.He was born as a servant who was sold. He won the favor of an old monk and passed on his skills, including tea and wine, which was unknown to the world. The old monk was a lover of tea and wine, and he never became a monk. With no fixed abode, I met Grandma Jiang.

But precisely because of this, Aunt Jiang was attracted by the young master of the host family, and the following person's background suddenly became the young lady of the Xia family, which also aroused the jealousy of many people.

However, after the Xia family got everything they wanted, they broke their promise and married a well-matched sister. Grandma Jiang was imprisoned in the backyard for no apparent reason. At that time, Grandma Jiang had already given birth to a son for the Xia family. But within a few years, the son died suddenly.

Li Cheng sighed, the Xia family in Jiangnan?No wonder Aunt Jiang still can't let go of the past after all these years. If it were her, how could she be willing to die alone when her enemy was still alive and well?

Once the tea wine comes back to the market, it will definitely alarm the Jiangnan Xia family, and then the story of Grandma Jiang faking her death will also be exposed.

Fortunately, Aunt Jiang had saved a hand and always had the recipe in her hands, which was why the Xia family began to decline after losing her.

It just seems that the introduction of tea wine will have to be slow, and some things need to be prepared.

When he walked out of the room, it was already dusk. The people who went out to pick tea today must have returned, and Li Cheng was ready to go out to help.

There were many people gathered at the entrance of Zhuangzi, some carrying baskets on their shoulders, or carrying baskets on their arms, mostly filled with tea, chatting and laughing, waiting for their turn to be praised.

"It turns out that there are so many tea trees growing in our mountains. I didn't know how expensive the tea outside was." When the farmers treat guests, adding some sugar to the boiled water is considered a high standard. Whoever has spare money can afford tea.

"What's the use of knowing it? Do you know how to fry? It's useless if you don't know how to fry. Besides, who dares to go into the mountains to pick without protection? Sister Cheng is kind enough. She sent people to protect us. After picking tea, we can't do it." Talk about giving money.”

"Haha, no, how much did you pick today? How much money can you get?"

"It's only three or four kilograms." The man said as if he didn't care, which immediately aroused the envy of several people around him. One kilogram of tea costs fifteen cents, which is about fifty cents per day, which is more than what the men who go out to work part-time earn. There are many.

Picking tea is a delicate job, and you have to pick the tenderest part of the branch. No more or less, which made them confused for a while at first.

"I also picked a basket of mushrooms. I heard that Sister Cheng also likes to eat these things, and I can earn some money to supplement the family income." One person pointed to the mushrooms in the basket and said, smiling from ear to ear. It happened to be I found a large cluster in the grass nearby, and it didn't take long to pick it up.

"It's almost my turn to say goodbye, so I won't tell you anymore." One person hurriedly squeezed to the front.

Aunt Jiang was sitting next to the porter, with an old janitor helping her, and Li Cheng sent another person to carry it.Grandma Jiang is very fond of tea. She doesn't feel comfortable leaving it to someone else who is not proficient in it. She must test it herself.

Only two families in the village, Mrs. Yang and Mr. Chang, knew that Aunt Jiang could fry tea, but no one else knew. So when they saw Aunt Jiang in charge of collecting tea, they were envious and regretful. They were envious that Aunt Jiang could have such a good relationship with Li Cheng. Errands, I regret that I didn't think of letting Li Cheng live in his home, otherwise Aunt Jiang's treatment would now belong to their family.

Nowadays, everyone in the village knows that the Li and Jiang families look like two separate families from the outside, but inside they are just the same family with an open door on the wall.Aunt Jiang would go to Li Cheng's village for a walk whenever she had nothing to do. Even the dog Heizi was raised by Li Cheng with big meat bones all day long.
