Jiu Zhang Ji: The Daily Life of the Reborn Daughter

Chapter 38 Feng Wuzui

After sending the old Duke's wife back to Zhenxiayuan, Qiao Lili changed her clothes and went to the outer study to wait for Shang Zhen and the others to come back.

As a result, the third son came to report that when he was cleaning up the tables, chairs and benches at the door, he found an old man in tattered clothes sleeping on a bench. Master Shang asked him to ask the eldest lady what to do.

"Take me to see it."

Only half an hour had passed since she left. The people who were watching the fun at the gate of the mansion had all left, and the items on display had been taken back. Only two long benches put together were left, and an old man was lying on them. His hair and beard were tangled in knots, and his clothes were tattered, but he didn't look dirty. His face was flushed, and he was snoring loudly in his sleep.

Qiao Lili walked closer and smelled the alcohol. She asked Uncle Zhong, "Didn't we only provide tea?"

Uncle Zhong pointed at a wine bag under him and said, "He must have brought it with him. He drank while watching the fun and fell asleep here when he got drunk."

Qiao Lili always felt that the smell of this wine was familiar. She pulled the wine bag out from under the old man, unscrewed the cork and smelled it, and it turned out to be Seven Day Drunk.

Qi Ri Zui is the most famous winery in Dayan State. It is a strong liquor brewed by Dazhe Manor. Dayan State used to only have low-alcohol liquor. As soon as Qi Ri Zui from Dazhe Manor was launched on the market, it was snapped up and it was difficult to get one or two bottles.

In the previous life, this Seven Days Drunk would not be available for sale until next year. How did this old man get this wine?

Qiao Lili tilted her head to study the old man's appearance, her pupils suddenly dilated. She had met this old man once in her previous life. This old man was a treasure. "Uncle Zhong, clean up a yard, no, clean up the Guanyu Pavilion, carry the old man in, and let the servants take good care of him."

Guanyu Pavilion is the best guest house in Duke Dingguo's Mansion.

This old man has a bad temper, "Little Sanzi, Little Sanzi." Not just anyone can serve him well. If he runs away, she will cry to death.

The third son ran out of the mansion gate and said, "Miss, I'm here."

"Little Sanzi, from today on, you don't have to do anything else but serve this old man. As long as you serve the old man well and make him happy, he will stay in our house and I will increase your monthly salary tenfold and give you a big red envelope during the New Year."

When Xiao Sanzi heard this, he was so happy that he started to treat the old man like his own grandfather and he didn't believe that he couldn't serve him well.

"Miss, don't worry, I will take care of it. I will let the old man treat our Duke Dingguo Mansion as his own home from now on." The third son patted his chest and promised.

"Yes, let him treat the Duke Dingguo Mansion as his own home. Now that he is at home, there is no need for him to leave." Qiao Lili felt that this third boy was really good and a teachable person.

At this time, Uncle Zhong had someone carry a door panel over and carefully placed the old man on it. "Be careful, carry him to the Guanyu Pavilion next to the Tingfeng Pavilion, slowly." Several people carried the old man in front, and the third child took the torn bag and the wine bag that the old man was using as a pillow, and went all the way to the Guanyu Pavilion.

Qiao Lili recognized the old man. He was from the well-known Medicine King Valley in the Great Yan Kingdom. The Medicine King Valley had been secluded from the world for many years. No one had left the valley for hundreds of years, so much so that now, people don’t know the specific location of the Medicine King Valley. Some even say that the Medicine King Valley no longer exists.

But a few years ago, an old man called Dr. Feng appeared out of nowhere, and the people of Yaowang Valley were surnamed Feng.

Apart from his excellent medical skills, this old man loves to drink, and is crazy the rest of the time. If you say he is abnormal, he is very principled. If you say he is normal, he thinks like a child and basically does not do normal things.

So some people say that he was expelled from Yaowang Valley because he made a mistake, some people say that he escaped from Yaowang Valley, and that he was not from Yaowang Valley at all, he was just deceiving the world and stealing the reputation. It doesn't matter what you guess, the old man's medical skills are unique in the world and no one can compare to him.

People only knew his last name was Feng, but not his real name, because he drank and got drunk every day, but never admitted that he was drunk. So, people jokingly gave him a name, Feng Wuzui. He did not think it was ironic and rather liked it. Some people also called him the Wuzui Divine Doctor.

In his previous life, Bai Junzhe told him that he was injured and could not have sex, so she looked everywhere for famous doctors to treat him. Later, she heard about Doctor Feng. She found a way to meet him and told him that she wanted him to treat Bai Junzhe's illness.

In his previous life, Bai Junzhe was directly named a fourth-rank Zhongwu General at a grand court meeting, in charge of the defense of the capital. There had never been a fourth-rank official at the age of 20 in the Great Yan Kingdom. For a time, he was very popular in the capital, and everyone knew him.

The old man immediately refused: "I can't cure his disease."

Qiao Lili was a little overwhelmed at the time, and asked with tears in her eyes, "Even if you are a miracle doctor, you can't cure his disease?"

The old man said madly, "I can't cure it, I can't cure it, I only cure patients." Then he ran out.

Qiao Lili came here with great expectations, but the miracle doctor refused to treat her. She was extremely disappointed and cried for a long time while holding Caiqin.

How could I be so stupid in my previous life? It was as if I was under a spell and believed everything he said. Every day after my rebirth, I wanted to slap my previous self twice.

What Doctor Feng meant was that he was not sick at all.

Qiao Lili met the people brought by Shang Zhen in the outer study. Her two centurions were named Xiang Dazhuang and Tang Chengmin, with more than 30 soldiers. When they asked questions one by one, they found that each of them had their own strengths.

A young man named Bao Zhiqiang, about twenty-five or twenty-six years old, who is good at gathering information.

The brothers Jia Zhiyong and Jia Xingyong are good at training homing pigeons and eagles.

Feng Ye and Shen Hui are good at keeping a close eye on people without being discovered.

She couldn't use the other people's specialties for the time being, so she let these few people start working first.

Let Bao Zhiqiang take a few people to wander around the teahouses in the city and find out various information.

Let Jia Zhiyong and Jia Xingyong buy a batch of carrier pigeons for training. With carrier pigeons, she can communicate freely with her father and brothers and keep abreast of the developments at the border at all times.

"Feng Ye, Shen Hui, you two take a few people and keep a close eye on Bai Junzhe, Lou Xinyue and Bai Shi. See where they go and who they meet. Don't let go of any suspicious clues."

"Write down everything you see. No matter whether it is useful or not, I will judge whether it is useful or not. You just need to record everything you see, even if they just went to the vegetable market to buy a fish." Qiao Lili ordered.

Everyone's thinking tends to form an inherent pattern, and judging whether something is right or wrong based on this inherent pattern, which can easily lead to something that he judges to be normal, but is actually abnormal. So he doesn't need to judge, just record it, and leave the judgment to Qiao Lili.

"I obey my orders."

"Xiang Dazhuang and Tang Chengmin are responsible for picking up and dropping off the second young master at Fengqiao Academy. I'm leaving my brother in your hands. Don't let him be in danger."

"I obey my orders."

Several people took the order and left, each busy with their own things. Qiao Lili asked someone to call Uncle Zhong over.

"Uncle Zhong, please take me to our wine cellar. Doctor Feng likes to drink, so if we want to keep him, we have to cater to his tastes."

Uncle Zhong looked incredulous: "Miss, you said that old man is a miracle doctor, Doctor Feng?"

Qiao Lili then remembered that she had not told everyone that the old man was Doctor Feng.

Qiao Lili nodded, "Let's go." She went to check the stock in the wine cellar. If he still wanted to drink Seven Days Drunk, she could brew it for him. However, before Seven Days Drunk was brewed, he still had to rely on the wine in the wine cellar to top it off.

In the previous life, because it was difficult to get a pound of Seven Days Drunk, countless people went to Dazhe Manor to ask for wine. The owner of the manor, Jingting, had no worries. There was not enough food in Dayan, so there were procedures for brewing wine, and it was limited. Therefore, the amount of wine brewed by Dazhe Manor was fixed and could not meet the needs of everyone. In the end, there was really no other way, so he wrote countless copies of the recipe for brewing Seven Days Drunk and scattered them in every corner of the capital.

If you want to drink it, go brew it yourself, but he is so annoying.

Qiao Lili also got this recipe. Although she had never brewed it herself, she would be able to brew it after trying a few more times.

In her previous life, she had learned how to make grape wine and various fruit wines from Persian merchants. The brewing process was short, so she could make some for Old Man Feng to taste.

I believe that these two kinds of wine can at least keep him in Duke Dingguo's Mansion for a few years.

"Uncle Zhong, go to the pawnshop and buy two servants who know how to make wine." She had the recipe, and giving it to someone who knew how to make wine would be much faster than trying to cross the river by feeling the stones herself.

"Yes, Miss."

In her previous life, she heard the tragic news that her grandmother had died suddenly. In this life, she wanted to please him at all costs, keep Doctor Feng by her side, take good care of her grandmother, and keep her healthy and live a long life.
