Taming beasts starts with understanding bird language

Chapter 697 This wine is called Maozi

Half an hour later, a sedan chair arrived and stopped outside Prince Chan's mansion.

Ouyang Wan'er and Zi Yue came out of the sedan chair.

Looking at Prince Chan who was so happy in front of them, the two of them had complicated expressions and for a moment they didn't know what to say.

The butler stood aside and said respectfully, "Madams, please come in! The prince is waiting for you to come in and help entertain the guests!"

"Go and tell the prince to pick us up." Zi Yue said deliberately.

The housekeeper didn't think too much about it, and immediately agreed and ran into the mansion to report.

Ouyang Wan'er was puzzled and said, "We are already at the doorstep, why don't we get married on our own? Why do we need to ask the housekeeper to go in first to announce it?"

"Wan'er, you are young and don't understand these things. Now your husband has married the second daughter of the general, and we have been in the palace for many days. We won't be able to come back often in the future. In this way, we will be apart for a long time. Who knows if he will still miss us?" Ziyue said with caution.

"Don't think like that. I know my husband well. He will definitely not forget us." Ouyang Wan'er said firmly.

She knew very well that Gu Chan was not the kind of person who gets bored easily, so she absolutely trusted her.

Zi Yue smiled bitterly and said, "People change."

"No, my husband will never change." Ouyang Wan'er said affirmatively.

After saying this, she calmed down, stood where she was, and kneaded the corners of her clothes tightly with both hands, for fear that Gu Chan would really get tired of the old and fall in love with the new, and ignore their two original wives.

However, their worries were unnecessary.

Soon Gu Chan rushed out of the gate and ran straight to them. She grabbed their hands tightly and said, "Oh! You are finally back. I was so busy. Come in and help me take charge of the situation. I can't handle it alone. I am so damn tired."

Ouyang Wan'er and Zi Yue looked at each other and responded happily.

Now they can finally be sure that Gu Chan is indeed not the kind of person who gets bored easily.

Then they followed Gu Chan in with smiles on their faces.

Entering the courtyard, Gu Chan shouted, "Housekeeper, the two mistresses of Prince Chan's Mansion are back. Hurry up and bring everyone some good wine."

"Yes, Your Highness." The butler responded respectfully, and immediately went over with the servants to bring over jars of the fine wine that Gu Chan had distilled earlier, and poured them for the guests.

When everyone saw that the wine was as clear as water and filled with a refreshing fragrance, their eyes lit up and they were filled with curiosity.

Gu Chan laughed and said, "Everyone, this is the fine wine from my Chan Palace. You may want to try it and see which is better than the existing rice wine."

After hearing this, everyone immediately picked up their glasses and started tasting the wine.

Just this one taste seemed to have triggered a chain reaction in the entire outer courtyard, and everyone exclaimed in amazement.

"It's really a good wine! The color is clear, the aroma is overflowing, and the fragrance lingers on your lips and teeth. It's so delicious."

"Yes, yes, yes. And the wine is quite strong. It is definitely not comparable to rice wine!"

"Lord Chan, what is the name of your wine? Why is it so fragrant?"

Gu Chan waved her hand and said, "Everyone, my wine is called Maozi, which means it is as sharp as a long spear and can pierce the enemy's heart. If you think this wine tastes good, you can come to my house tomorrow to buy it, or come to me to cooperate in selling this wine."

"Oh my! Prince Chan really has a good business sense! He actually started selling wine on the wedding day."

"Yes! No wonder everyone says that Prince Chan is good at business and has emptied out all the wealthy merchants in Jiangnan. It seems that this is true."

"This is bad. It seems that all these wealthy businessmen in Kyoto have been deceived by Prince Chan."

When everyone heard what Gu Chan said, they immediately started to tease her.

"Hahaha……"

Gu Chan laughed heartily and raised his glass to toast everyone.

Everyone also raised their glasses to welcome him and drank the fragrant fermented Maozi in one gulp.

By the afternoon, many people were already drunk and were helped into carriages by servants and left.

King Cheng was also drunk and unconscious, and was sent back by Su Yao and his men.

By evening, most of the guests had left, leaving only the maids and servants in the mansion to clean up the mess.

Gu Chan had a strong spiritual energy in her body and could not get drunk normally. However, in order to avoid the wedding night, she pretended to be drunk and was helped to the study room by two maids to rest.

In the end, it was only Ouyang Wan'er, the eldest wife, who went to the bridal chamber to lift the veil for Zuo Xin.

Zi Yue stayed behind to direct the maids and servants to tidy up the tables, chairs and benches in the yard.

In the wedding room.

When Ouyang Wan'er came over, Zuo Xin was still sitting on the edge of the bed with her head covered with a red veil.

She walked up to Zuo Xin and said, "Sister, I'm sorry, my husband is drunk and unconscious. The maids have taken him to the study and he is fast asleep. From now on, I will have to take your veil on behalf of my husband."

"Everything is up to my sister." Zuo Xin said softly.

On such a happy day, it is perfectly natural for the man to get drunk and pass out. She would naturally not feel unhappy. On the contrary, as long as the man can get drunk, it proves that he is actually happy about the marriage, which is a good thing for her.

Ouyang Wan'er said nothing more and immediately lifted the veil for Zuo Xin on behalf of Gu Chan.

When the veil was lifted, Ouyang Wan'er couldn't help but exclaimed, "Ah! Sister, you are so beautiful! You are much prettier than us. No wonder your husband is so obsessed with you."

"Sister, you are too kind. No matter how beautiful I am, I am still just a concubine, not like you, the wife." Zuo Xin said politely.

"Sister, listen to me. Tomorrow morning, we have to go to the palace to serve the Queen Mother. Once we leave, the entire Prince Chan's Mansion will depend on you alone. You must take good care of your husband and grandparents. If anything happens to the two of us in the palace, this family will be handed over to you." Ouyang Wan'er sat down next to Zuo Xin, stretched out her hands, held her hands tightly and said.

After she finished speaking, tears suddenly welled up in her eyes and she began to sob sadly.

Zuo Xin asked in confusion, "Sister, why do you say that? The Queen Mother has chosen you three and has even conferred titles on you as Imperial Consorts! You can work in the palace, which is something that many women would beg for, so why are you so sad?"

"You don't understand. We are just tools used by the prince to threaten your husband. But you are different. Your father is the general of Kyoto. The prince will not harm you." Ouyang Wan'er said frankly.

Zuo Xin's eyes widened and he stood there in a daze.

It was not until then that she realized that Ouyang Wan'er and Zi Yue were not living as well as she had imagined.

On the contrary, they are now under tremendous pressure. Although she will be a concubine in the future, she must assume the responsibilities of the principal wife and help Gu Chan manage the entire Prince Chan's Mansion. Otherwise, her ending will probably not be much better than the two of them!
