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

"Good wine! Good tea wine!" One of the guests drank happily and praised loudly excitedly, "After so many years, I never thought I could drink tea wine again. I have no regrets in this life!"

"Which one is better than the tea and wine that my family drank back then?"

"Haha, if I have to judge one over the other, I would say that this Yujia tea and wine is more refreshing, the fragrance of the tea is refreshing, and the wine is clear at night, which makes people have endless aftertaste, but everyone has their own preferences, I can't say , Haha, it’s hard to say, maybe after a few years of storage, this tea wine will become more mellow.”

Mr. Xia's hand shook, and the wine in the cup spilled onto his hand. Even a few drops were stained on his robe, but he did not care about the loss of etiquette.

Although the third prince's expression remained calm, the fingers holding the wine glass used a little strength.

The third prince wanted to maintain his demeanor, knowing that others were looking at him from the corner of his eye, and he couldn't let anything be exposed.The rumor has been released before, and now no one here knows that his Qingxin Literary Hall will attract literati with tea and wine, not to mention that the Xia family's young master will appear with them today.

So even if he was slapped in the face, the third prince had to smile.

The Eighth Prince does not have such a palace. After all, he has always had everything he wanted after he was born. Now he is angry when he hears what others say: "Who doesn't know that tea wine is the signature of the Xia family? The origin of the Yu family's tea wine is unknown." , maybe this brewing method was stolen from the Xia family, but you dare to openly release it for people to sell, it is extremely shameless!"

The third prince's face changed and he scolded: "Eighth brother, shut up! The county master provided the tea and wine of the Yu family. Are you accusing the county master of stealing the Xia family's things? Even if the Xia family lost the prescription due to a fire that year , but how old was the county owner at that time?"

The heated discussions around him all died down. When it comes to tea wine, it’s hard not to think of the Xia family. The eighth prince’s statement that tea wine belongs to the Xia family is not unreasonable. It’s indeed suspicious how the county master knew how to brew tea wine. .

Because tea and wine are mostly praised by literati, if it comes out of nowhere, it will be a stain on the literati's character. Even if the wine is good, they will not be able to accept it.

The third prince's words also confirmed that the Xia family's tea and wine method had been stolen. Although it was impossible for the county lord to be the thief due to his age, it seemed to be excusing the county lord, but for the county lord Where is the person behind it?

Wang Yu was so anxious that he lowered his voice and said angrily: "These three highnesses are trying to frame the County Lord of Anqing. Before they even had time to push out the tea and wine, they were overtaken by Yu's Tavern, and they resorted to such despicable methods to frame the County Lord." It’s unjust. Besides, if the Xia family can brew tea wine, why can’t other families make tea wine? Not to mention, where did the Xia family’s tea wine brewing method come from?”

Cheng Xuan thought for a moment and said, "Don't worry. Since County Lord Yu and His Highness the Sixth Prince dare to introduce tea wine, they cannot be unprepared. Besides, the tea wine of the Yu family is of better quality and taste than the tea wine of the Xia family."

"I'm afraid that they want to take back the brewing method from the county master on the pretext that they stole it from the Xia family." Wang Yu said worriedly.

Cheng Xuan smiled and shook his head. Now that he had a way to deal with it, how could he let them succeed: "Just keep watching with peace of mind."

The words of the eighth prince and the third prince also reached the ears of Emperor Changde. The latter's expression changed: "Is this what the third prince said?"

The queen looked at Yu Cheng worriedly and asked: "You guys..." Concern leads to worry, and the queen who knows the inside story will still be worried.

"Don't worry, Queen." Yu Cheng smiled slightly and gave the Queen a reassuring look.Without the third prince, she, the sixth prince, and Shang Yilan would not have anything to do with the Xia family.But since tea wine is about to be launched, she will not be unprepared.

Han Haizhu didn't have any objections to the dispute between the Xia family and the Yu family. When he heard the commotion on the other side, he said dissatisfiedly: "Isn't it just a wine? The Xia family can brew wine in others' families? Can the Xia family come up with something? Why can’t others come up with the brewing method? It’s unreasonable to say that others stole it if they came up with it!”

In fact, they like to drink green plum wine more than tea wine. "It's just those sour Confucians who like to show off. Don't worry about them, let's play our own game!" A few people ignored him and continued to play the game of pot throwing happily, and the amount of drinking was determined by winning or losing.

At this time, Taolu walked out with a smile on his face, bowed to everyone in the debate and said, "The county master expected that the Yu family tea and wine party would cause controversy, so he ordered Taolu to tell you a story."

Everyone knew that this was the palace servant given to the Lord of Anqing County by Emperor Changde, so even if they had some objections at this time, they did not get angry immediately.

"Have you ever heard of the name of Monk Yanda?"

"Master Liao Yan? Isn't that a great monk who enjoys good tea and wine and travels to various places for his spiritual practice? Is he still alive?" An older man exclaimed.

As No. 1 exclaimed, some people randomly echoed her. "That Monk Liao Yan in the early years of Yunguan Temple?" This maverick monk, even if his behavior was contrary to the common practice, who in the capital was not proud to have tea and wine from Monk Yan?It's just that he left the capital early and has no fixed residence. At first, there was news that he came back, but then he completely lost his trace. Many people thought that he had passed away, which was a pity.

Seeing people recalling the great monk Liao Yan, Taolu continued: "The great monk Liao Yan only loved tea and wine, so he wanted to combine the two. He studied in a small temple in the mountains for many years, and finally let him brew wine. The tea and wine were satisfying."

Speaking of this, many people looked at Mr. Xia who was here. No one knew him before, and they knew his identity because of what he just said.Taolu said that tea wine was created for Monk Yanda, and everyone here who is familiar with this monk does not believe it.So where does the Xia family’s tea and wine come from?Thinking of the eighth prince's previous doubts, those who had doubts before couldn't help but laugh.

"At that time, Monk Yanda was very old. One day he broke his leg in the mountains. He happened to meet a woman passing by to take him back to the temple. Because the temple was too picky, the woman went to pick herbs and took care of Yanda. Monk. Perhaps because Monk Yanda was grateful for the woman's kindness, or because he didn't want his gains to be lost, he passed on his skills of making tea and brewing tea wine to the woman. Many years later, my county boss met by chance The woman who is now an old woman learned the method of brewing tea wine from her, and that is how Yujia tea wine is made today."

"Who is that old woman?" someone asked.

But Mr. Xia's face turned pale, and his eyes were filled with shock and disbelief.

Taolu bowed again and said, "I'm sorry Taolu can't tell the identity of this successor, because she doesn't want to be disturbed by outsiders, she just doesn't want the tea and wine to disappear, and let down the expectations of Monk Yanda and the grace of passing on the art. Only then will the brewing skills be passed on to the county boss."
