If you keep making noise, I won’t stand it anymore!

As expected, people cannot withstand being thought about, and things cannot withstand being done.

Before the wine production could stabilize, the first wave of wine buyers arrived at Liu's house.

Two days later, just after breakfast, "Miss, the steward of Suzhou Prefecture Lord Wang and the steward of Suzhou Prefecture Commandant are outside the door asking to see you." Xiaowu, who was on duty at the gate, came in to report.

A while ago, Xiaoer came to her and said that he wanted to follow Chen Da and Feng Yijia to the back mountain to see the world. Meixiang's principle has always been to encourage them to develop in the direction they like. If they have any ideas, they can come to her and she will try her best to satisfy them.

So now the person who was on duty the most at the gate had been replaced by Xiao Wu. The beautiful lady and Mei Xiang were stunned when they heard the report. They didn't understand why City Lord Wang and the captain's steward came to Liu's house together, and why they came after breakfast.

"Xiang'er, you can handle it. I won't see them. I'll go back to the room first." After the beautiful woman said this, she stood up and walked towards the inner room. With her status, the housekeepers of ordinary officials usually could not see her.

After a while, Xiao Wu brought in two middle-aged men in their forties. When they saw the girl sitting at the top, they looked at each other and bowed deeply.

"Wang Cheng, the steward of the Suzhou City Lord's Mansion, greets the eldest princess. Gong'an is Jin'an." He is of medium build, a little fat, and has the face of an honest man, but it is obvious that a steward who can be the mansion of a city lord does not appear to be so honest.

"Li An, the steward of Suzhou Duwei Mansion, greets the eldest princess and the public security officer Jin An." The steward of the Duwei Mansion was slightly taller, with a lean figure, and a sturdy look. One could tell at a glance that he had experience in the military camp.

"You two don't have to be polite, just sit down and chat. I'll make some tea for the two housekeepers." Meixiang said with a smile, pointing to the chair on the left side below.

The two looked at each other, thanked each other again, and sat half of their buttocks on the chairs.

"Butler Wang, has everything been arranged in the City Lord's Mansion? I haven't thanked City Lord Wang for his gift yet." Meixiang looked at the two people who were meeting for the first time and spoke first.

Having been influenced by the modern world, what she can't stand the most is people speaking in a roundabout way, making people guess and still not understand. It's too tiring, she likes to talk about things, and say what she wants to say without hiding anything.

Although their master had given them instructions when they came, Wang Cheng and Li An had not expected that the princess would be so approachable. This made them secretly relieved, and they finally said what they had been struggling with how to start the conversation.

"Thank you for your concern, Lord Chang. I have temporarily settled them down. I will slowly put away some small things later." He paused and then said, "To be honest, I came to Liu's house this time to ask for something. I hope the princess can help me."

Although she felt a little embarrassed, she thought of the old man's expression before he left, which said he would not come back until he got what he wanted. She bit her tongue and continued, "A few days ago, the servant brought back two jars of wine from your house. The old man at home liked them very much, so, so..."

Meixiang turned her eyes to the steward of the Duwei Mansion who was sitting next to him: "No, you are here to ask for wine today too, right?"

"Ahem, to be honest, I did come here to ask for wine." Butler Li touched his nose and added, "When the servant of the City Lord's Mansion returned home, he happened to run into a gathering of several old masters, so, so..."

The mistress started to giggle secretly, it was true that good wine needs no bush. Just yesterday, Doctor Wang said that he would make a fortune, and the lady insisted that she was not doing it for the money. But if the money was delivered to her door, would the lady refuse it?

Meixiang rubbed her forehead helplessly. The old man in the mansion had already spoken, and it would be inappropriate to slap him in the face the first time she came. Alcohol is a daily consumable and it is difficult to quit once you fall in love with it. Now Doctor Wang and Doctor Gudu can't sleep without a sip or two every night.

But this gap cannot be opened easily, otherwise she will be unable to afford the continuous demands in the future.

"To be honest, I originally set up this small winery just to satisfy the appetites of the two gentlemen in the mansion. Usually, there are only a couple running it, and the amount of wine produced is not much. It is not easy to satisfy the needs of the two gentlemen. Besides, I can't compete with the people for food, right?"

Wang Cheng and Li An knew that the princess' words were from the bottom of her heart, but when they thought of the troublesome old man at home, they could only sit here with a thick skin. They really "dared not" go back if they couldn't get it, right?

Meixiang stroked her forehead again, "Did a few old men happen to catch up with you when you were drinking that day? Oh, forget it, you can just say that there are a few old men in Suzhou Prefecture who can't refuse, right?"

Gifts are not about scarcity but about inequality, not poverty but insecurity, and the most taboo thing is that some people have them while others don't, which is often the reason for conflicts. However, she was not familiar with Suzhou Prefecture, so she could only let the City Lord's Mansion and the Commandant's Mansion, which had caused her trouble, to make the decision.

Wang Cheng and Li An talked to each other for a while and finally reached an agreement. Wang Cheng held up eight fingers.

"Xiao San, go to the wine shop and find the Zhang couple and ask them to find a way to get eight jars of wine each. Remember to leave some for the two gentlemen from the past three days." Then he explained to the two housekeepers, "The two old doctors in the mansion are a bit addicted to wine. If you don't leave some for them, no one in the mansion will be able to sleep tonight."

"I understand, I understand. If it weren't for the old man's order, we would have been shameless too. Please forgive us, Princess." The two of them continued Meixiang's words in a flattering manner.

"When you go back, please say hello to the old men at home. My small winery really can't produce much wine and can't supply so many people."

The two men simultaneously lowered their heads and pretended to drink tea, not daring to respond to the conversation. They were really powerless to do anything about the alcoholic old men in the mansion. They couldn't beat them, scold them, or fight them.

The last two concentrations of wine were divided equally into eight small jars, almost emptying the small winery's assets.

Looking at the back of the carriage going away, Meixiang really felt that this incident of stealing wine would never end.

At night, Chu Zeming and the others listened to Xiao San's vivid description of what happened today, and then looked at Meixiang's look of despair as she was robbed, and Doctor Wang and Doctor Gudu holding their wine jars with faces full of bitterness and hatred, and they couldn't help laughing out loud.

"The point is, I have a feeling that what happened today is just the beginning. Just wait and see, it will happen again in a few days." Meixiang looked at the people sitting there and weakly explained her thoughts.

"Ah, coming again?" The two old gentlemen couldn't help but hold the jars of wine tightly in their hands.

"Will I be forced to become a barmaid from now on?"
