The daughter of a general is reborn to save the whole family of the marquis

Dongfang Jing could only hear Chu Heyi asking Xie Lin to send her back to the palace, but she could not hear their private conversation afterwards.

She suddenly looked at Xie Lin, not knowing how Xie Lin would look at her now that her plan had failed and she had failed to damage Chu Heyi's reputation and image, but instead made herself a clown.

Xie Lin didn't look at her, but continued to look at Chu Heyi and replied to Chu Heyi: "Okay, I'll take her back to the palace."

Dongfang Jing felt complicated for a moment. Xie Lin was still willing to personally send her back to the palace, and he did not avoid her like the plague.

At the same time, she also felt sad. This time she was really going back to the palace. Once the arrow was shot, there was no turning back. It was because she failed in this plan.

Chu Heyi said, "Thank you, sir. We have successfully brewed the wine. Before you enter the palace, I would like to discuss with you about naming our wine shop Zuixian Wine Shop. What do you think?"

Xie Lin smiled: "The simpler the name, the more elegant it is. Zuixian Wine Shop is easy to remember. This name is very good."

Someone else agreed: "Even gods would get drunk if they drank this wine, let alone ordinary people? What a great name!"

Chu Heyi: "The name of the wine shop is very common, so could you please give our wine a more elegant name, Mr. Xie?"

Xie Lin pondered for a moment: "How about "Singing with You"? "

"I can sing with you all my joys and sorrows! Very good!" Chu Heyi was the first to agree.

Everyone recognized Xie Lin's talent, so no one objected to the name he chose and everyone thought it was good.

On this day, Chu Heyi and Xie Lin jointly opened the Zuixian Winery, and together they brewed a wine called "Yujunge".

The winery was opened in Chuan'an City, adjacent to Shengjing City. It covered a large area and recruited many wine workers. It was mainly managed by Xie Lin's subordinates. At this time, there was no news about Zuixian Winery in Shengjing City.

Xie Lin sent Princess Pingyang back to the palace and asked to see the emperor.

Dongfang Jing was very reluctant: "Master Xie, are you going to tell my father what I did? I did so much for your own good. I was afraid that you would be deceived by Chu Heyi and lose a lot of money! You have been weak and sick since childhood, and it is not easy to earn so much money!"

She was so anxious that she almost jumped up and down, but she still couldn't stop Xie Lin's determination to meet the emperor.

Standing at the entrance of the Purple Palace, he even repeated Dongfang Jing's words to her: "Princess, please be patient. This humble minister is asking to see the emperor for your sake."

This is the imperial palace, and Dongfang Jing could just turn around and leave, but she was worried about Xie Lin's request to see the emperor, so she didn't dare to leave directly, fearing that something might happen.

So he spent time with Xie Lin outside the Zichen Palace.

"Are you trying to embarrass me in front of our father for Chu Heyi?" Dongfang Jing bit his lip.

Before Xie Lin could answer, Yao An came out: "Your Highness, Lord Xie, the Emperor is waiting inside."

The two men went in one after another and knelt before the emperor to pay their respects.

The emperor was quite happy to see Xie Lin personally bringing Dongfang Jing in. He thought that Dongfang Jing had lived in Xie's house for more than half a month and the two had developed feelings for each other and could be engaged.

He highly recognized Xie Lin's talents and he was a man who knew when to advance and when to retreat. It just so happened that he was reluctant to let his daughter marry far away, so it would be great if he could choose an excellent son-in-law for her.

The emperor thought Xie Lin was a good person.

So when Princess Pingyang expressed her affection for Xie Lin and wanted to live in Xie Mansion, he only thought for a moment and agreed.

He felt an inexplicable sense of closeness to Xie Lin.

"Father, I did something wrong outside the palace, and Lord Xie is angry." Dongfang Jing immediately ran up and hugged the emperor's arm and acted coquettishly.

"But I swear that everything I did was for the good of Master Xie, and I didn't do it on purpose to upset Master Xie. Father, can you help me persuade Master Xie not to get mad at me?"

The emperor patted the back of her hand and did not take her words seriously. He even thought that it was just a flirtation between two young people and that he, as a father, needed to uphold justice.

His tone was gentle, even with a hint of smile: "Let me hear what our Lord Xie has to say and see what you have done wrong to make Lord Xie so angry with you."

There was no other expression on Xie Lin's face except for the respect of a subject. He knelt on the ground and told him everything that Princess Pingyang had done to Chu Heyi outside the palace.

First, she relied on her status as a princess to stop the winemakers from fermenting rice, thus delaying the fermentation time; then she asked the nanny to poison the fermented rice, hoping to prevent Chu Heyi from making wine successfully.

"If Miss Heyi hadn't caught those two maids in advance, tens of thousands of kilograms of fermented rice would have been wasted." Xie Lin said.

Dongfang Jing was stunned. She didn't know that the two maids had been captured by Chu Heyi. "Thank you, sir, for slandering me! Since the two maids have been captured, where is the man? There must be a witness!"

"I have brought the witness with me and am waiting outside the palace for the emperor to summon me." Xie Lin said.

When Dongfang Jing returned to the palace, she took a carriage. She only cared about herself and not others. She didn't know that Xie Lin had asked someone to take the two maids behind the motorcade and follow them all the way into the palace so that they could serve as witnesses at any time.

The emperor summoned the witness into the palace, and Wangshan brought the witness in.

The matter had been exposed, and the two maids dared not hide anything in front of the emperor and confessed everything.

The emperor's expression was very ugly. Dongfang Jing bit his lips tightly and dared not act coquettishly anymore.

She knew that her father's wrath was a terrible thing.

"Your Majesty, the wine shop opened by Miss Heyi and this humble minister cost hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. If Your Highness succeeds, all that silver will be gone."

Xie Lin said, "I don't care about the silver, but I dare not fail to inform the emperor of what the princess did. If the small mistake is not corrected, it will be a big mistake in the future. The emperor is guilty of the same crime as the common people. Who can save the princess' life at that time?"

Dongfang Jing pursed his lips, unable to speak, and could only glare at Xie Lin. This is what he said, that this visit to the palace to meet the emperor was all for her own good.

——After all, I’m helping her correct her mistakes.

The emperor was kidnapped by his words and had to say: "Master Xie is right to worry. Pingyang's actions this time were indeed excessive and he should be punished! If he is not punished, he will make bigger mistakes in the future!"

Xie Lin said, "Her Highness the Princess is also a person who can correct her mistakes. She said that she will pay for all the money that I and Miss Heyi spent on opening the wine shop. I have already sorted out the bill, and I would like to ask Your Majesty to take a look. If there is no problem, please ask Your Highness the Princess to send the money to Zuixian Wine Shop as soon as possible."

Xie Lin took out the account book from his arms and handed it to the emperor with both hands.

The emperor looked at the account book with veins throbbing on his forehead. Xie Lin had said all the good things he could. Punishing the princess was for her own good. Not punishing her would be indulgence and harming his own child!

What else can the emperor do?

The emperor could only scold Dongfang Jing in the end: "Why don't you take over the account book and send the silver to their wine shop on time!"

Dongfang Jing had humiliated him. The emperor became angrier and angrier as he thought about it. He said, "You are so young, but you have such a vicious mind. You actually dared to poison others. I will punish you by confining you to your house for three months!"

"I know I was wrong, father. Please don't be angry. I won't dare to do it again next time..." Dongfang Jing began to sob. He opened the account book and his eyes tightened. There were more than 200,000 taels of silver!

She simply doesn't have that much money.

As a princess of a country, she ate and drank the finest food and wore the best clothes, including top-quality goods sent as tribute from all over the country, but she did not have that much silver to use.

"Did you really spend so much money to open the wine shop? Or are you deliberately blackmailing me?"

Xie Lin: "The detailed expenditures are all recorded above, and every amount is clear. I dare not blackmail Her Royal Highness. Besides, this is what Her Royal Highness agreed to. The princess is a princess, she must have seen so much money."

The emperor was curious, so he took the account book and looked at it. There was more than 200,000 taels, which was not a lot for the national treasury, but a lot for the princess.

The emperor was not happy about the fact that he had to open the national treasury and take out more than 200,000 taels of silver for no reason, so he threw the account book in Dongfang Jing's face and said, "You figure it out yourself!"

Dongfang Jing's mother is the queen, and the queen's family is the Taifu family. The Taifu family will not be unable to come up with the money. The emperor had this idea in mind, so he made up his mind not to care about Dongfang Jing's affairs.

Of course, he also hoped that Dongfang Jing would learn a lesson and not be so vicious or do such despicable things in the future.

As your Royal Highness the Princess, why do you have to do this?

He did it, and was caught red-handed!

It's such a disgrace to the royal family!

Xie Lin looked at Dongfang Jing, whose face was filled with tears and anger, and sighed softly in his heart. He hoped that she would learn her lesson and could really turn over a new leaf.

The sky was full of haze, just like Xie Lin's mood. When leaving the palace, Xie Lin couldn't help but wonder: Given the Queen's personality, is it really true that she can't raise a child with good character?

Xie Lin was sitting in a carriage that was traveling through the downtown area. The downtown area was noisy and hawking sounds could be heard from both sides of the road from time to time. Amid the hawking sounds, Xie Lin could smell the rich aroma of wine.

He asked people around him to inquire and found out that a well-known winery called Shenxiang Winery had emerged in Shengjing City these days.

Shenxiang Winery has released two types of wine.

The servant said, "One is called Forget-Sorrow Wine No. 1, and a jar can hold two kilograms, and it sells for ten taels of silver. The other is called Forget-Sorrow Wine No. 2, and it also holds two kilograms, but the price is much cheaper, two taels of silver per jar."

Alcohol has always been very expensive. Only the rich or noble can afford to drink alcohol. If poor people want to drink alcohol, they can only drink very low-quality alcohol.

Nowadays, it costs two taels of silver for a jar, which is relatively not expensive.

Xie Lin asked the servant to buy both Forget-Your-Worry Wine No. 1 and No. 2.

The servant was gone for a long time before coming back.

He said, "Sir, although the price of Forget-Your-Worries Wine No. 1 is taels of silver per jar, the quantity is too small. Many wealthy and noble people have to wait in line for a long time to buy it after paying a deposit. Many people are bidding against each other. If you don't have taels of silver, you can't buy a jar. The store owner asked me if I gave him taels of silver, he could find me a jar. Sir, do we want to buy it?"

Xie Lin pondered for a moment and asked the servant to buy it.

This time the servant didn't delay too long. He spent twenty-two taels of silver and bought two jars of wine.

Xie Lin discovered that the "1" in Forget-Sorrow Wine No. 1 was not written as "一", and the "2" was not "二", but as "", which was very special.

The servant also said, "Sir, I heard that there is a female winemaker in the Deep Alley Winery who is very good at making wine. Her family has been making wine for a living since she was a child. She was only fifteen years old and was originally promised to someone, but her fiancé and elder brother both died in the last battle in the southern border.

“At first she was reluctant to go to Shenxiang Brewery to make wine, but later someone persuaded her and she became a member of Shenxiang Brewery. Now she is highly valued by the boss.

"By the way, their boss is Pan Quan. His family used to make wine. I heard that they were about to go out of business, but he suddenly became rich. His winery expanded countless times overnight and he also produced this kind of popular wine.

"People in Shengjing City are now proud to be able to drink Forget-Sorrow Wine No. 1. As for those less wealthy families, if they can have Forget-Sorrow Wine No. 2 to entertain their guests, it is considered very prestigious."

Xie Lin just listened silently without saying a word.

That night, Xie Lin sent someone to secretly investigate the tavern in the deep alley. A few days later, the spy brought him new information.

"Master, after Pan Quan launched the Forget Worry Wine, no other winery in Shengjing City could be compared with it. Only the Yun family brews wine that is different from other families, so it still has a place for the time being.

"And now Pan Quan is ready to spend a lot of money to buy the Yun family's koji and make the wine for their Shenxiang Winery. If successful, the entire Shengjing City will be dominated by Shenxiang Winery.

"But when I went to get information, I learned that the Yun family had already rejected Pan Quan, but Pan Quan had not given up yet. I wonder what method he will use to win over the Yun family in the future."

After Xie Lin finished listening, he pondered for a moment and said, "You continue to keep an eye on the Yun family. Go and find out about the 15-year-old girl who is good at brewing wine in the Deep Alley Winery. Her brother and fiancé both died on the battlefield in the southern border."

The spy took the order and left.

Xie Lin did not go to Zuixian Winery. Chu Heyi had told him that the newly brewed wine had to be sealed for at least half a month before it could be sold. That way it would not easily irritate the nose or cause headaches, and would be much sweeter and smoother.

Of course, if possible, it would taste better if sealed for three to five years, but large wineries seldom seal all their wines for such a long time.

It was already late autumn, and the court's loan was still going on, so Xie Lin was very busy. In addition, he also needed to contact major restaurants and hotels to promote Yu Jun Ge.

Although the Xie family owns restaurants, they are not spread all over the country, so he needs to cooperate with some of them.

But he was not in a hurry. He just circled the well-known large restaurants and restaurants first. When the people under him could not handle it, he would take action personally.

Yujunge’s drinks taste good and are relatively cheap compared to other beverages, so the negotiations for cooperation with restaurants went smoothly.

Xie Lin did not sell Yu Jun Ge to Shengjing City, but expanded the market from Chuan'an City.

From late autumn to late winter, Zuixian Distillery produces wine every day, and the sales with Jun Ge go very smoothly.

However, Xie Lin soon encountered the same problem as Shenxiang Winery, that is, there was a famous wine that produced a small amount of wine and occupied a part of the market, which was difficult to conquer.

Xie Lin's idea was to buy this winery and make wine from it called Zuixian Winery.

He offered double the price, but the other party disagreed. Xie Lin asked someone to send a message to the head of their family and he went to visit them in person.
