Raising husband in Zhai Douwen

Chapter 55 The Winery

After the palace banquet, Yang Jiming received a huge reward.He took the bounty, borrowed some from Shang Jiayan, and bought the house on Changping Street that he was looking at.

Yang Jiming drastically changed the front yard into a courtyard-style winery, set up a wine cellar and a winemaking workshop in the backyard, and kept the main yard and the adjacent yards.

On the opening day of Chenxiang Distillery, his friends gathered a large group of people to join him.

Shang Jiayan was held in the inner hall by Yang Jiming, Ziyu and Zilan accompanied him, and the other ran in and out to report the situation.As for Huai'an, he and Fuquan helped run errands in the front yard.

Shang Jiashu also came to join him, and the person Yang Jiming didn't like the most came with him.

Huai'an led Shang Jiashu and Tian Xin into a compartment, "Master, would you like some of our agarwood wine? The agarwood wine is stronger, so you can have a small jar first, probably more than two large bowls. As for food and drink, each table will get two free dishes today."

"it is good."

"Okay, wait a moment, the food and drink will be delivered right away."

"Hey, wait a minute." Shang Jiashu stopped him.

"What else does the young master want?"

Shang Jiashu glanced at Tian Xin secretly, and said to Huai An: "Go and call Ji Ming over."

"Yes." Huai An responded and left.

Shang Jiashu glanced at the surrounding environment, and said with a smile: "That kid Ji Ming really has an idea. Bringing in running water, matching with the rockery and flowers in the courtyard, is quite interesting."

But Tian Xin asked: "That guy just now is the servant next to Second Young Master, right?"

"Yes, it should be because the opening is too busy today, and Brother She asked his servant to come over to help." Shang Jiashu smiled embarrassingly.

Tian Xin's eyes fell on Jiang Shumao and the others, "Is that group of people the well-known playboys in Beijing?"

"These guys are not bad in nature, they are all here to cheer." Shang Jiashu laughed again.

"My dear brother, look at the calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall over there. There are calligraphy and painting works by my second uncle and the champion of modern science, Tanhua. It seems that even Mr. Yin Xu of Shuntian Mansion also has calligraphy and painting works. Let's go and have a look." He hoped that Tian Xin would know Difficult to retreat.

"it is good."

Tian Xin followed him there.

One wall of the corridor is covered with calligraphy and paintings, all of which Yang Jiming asked for one by one.

After hearing Huai'an's words, Yang Jiming lingered at the counter for a while before going to Shang Jiashu.

"Brother, I'm really too busy today. Please forgive me for neglecting my brother."

"It's okay, I know you're busy." Shang Jiashu said with a smile, "Let me introduce you. This is my brother-in-law Yang Jiming, the third young master of Wumuhou's mansion. General Xuanwei."

"I met General Tian."

"Young Master Yang is being polite."

Shang Jiashu smiled and said, "Ji Ming, where did you get these treasures?"

"It's all begging with the cheek to make big brother laugh."

"I saw a painting by my second uncle, why didn't I ask my father to write a picture?"

"Father-in-law said that when the winery is open for a full month, he will give me a picture."

"Father is testing you, you can't let him down." Shang Jiashu laughed, his tone full of familiarity and intimacy.

"Definitely not." Yang Jiming also smiled.

How could Tian Xin not understand why Shang Jiashu specially asked him to drink today, it was just to let him know how satisfied the Shang family is with Yang Jiming's son-in-law, and hoped that he would retreat despite difficulties.

However, as a scholar, farmer, businessman, how could the Shang family think that such a son who does not seek to make progress is a good match for the second son?

Tian Xin said: "San Shao Yang has been running the winery in the future?"

"It's just adding private property." Yang Jiming said indifferently.In front of rivals, never show timidity.

Shang Jiashu asked, "Has Yanyan come?"

Yang Jiming looked at Shang Jiashu very puzzled, hesitated for a while, and then said slowly: "Here we are, in the inner hall."

Shang Jiashu said, "Should we ask him to come out, or should we go to the inner hall?"

Immediately, Yang Jiming looked at Shang Jiashu with guarded eyes, for fear that his uncle would help his friend steal his wife.

After inviting them into the inner hall, Ziyu made another pot of tea.

Shang Jiayan greeted Shang Jiashu and Tian Xin with a smile, and said, "I didn't expect that Brother He Tian also came to take care of the winery's business."

Shang Jiashu frowned deliberately and said to Shang Jiayan: "Ji Ming brews and sells wine, don't you persuade him?"

Shang Jiayan gently tugged on Yang Jiming's sleeve, signaling him not to talk nonsense.

"Brother, Ji Ming has figured out a way to make spirits. It's not wrong for us to make wine and sell it just to add some pocket money." Which eunuch family has no private property?For example, there are several shops in his dowry.

Shang Jiashu asked again: "What are your future plans, business?"

Yang Jiming said: "After a few days, when the winery is running smoothly, I will hand it over to the servants to take care of it. I will concentrate on preparing for the entrance examination."

Shang Jiashu nodded and said to Yang Jiming: "The college exam is no better than the children's exam. Prepare well, but don't put too much pressure on it."

After saying that, he said to Shang Jiayan: "Don't put pressure on your brother-in-law, your own man needs to know how much he loves you."

Yang Jiming hurriedly said, "Brother, Jing Shuo loves me the most."

Shang Jiayan chuckled, and said in a slightly coquettish tone: "Brother, you really care more and more."

Shang Jiashu said angrily, "Isn't it because of you that I worry so much?"

"Yes yes yes." Shang Jiayan smiled with crooked eyebrows.

The brighter Shang Jiayan smiled, the colder Tian Xin's heart became.

Shang Jiashu glanced at Tian Xin calmly, seeing that he was almost there, he said, "I'm drinking with Brother Tian Xian, you guys should be busy."

After returning to the cubicle, Tian Xin drank a glass of wine abruptly and choked.

Shang Jiashu sighed lightly, and said: "Brother She has been well-clothed and well-fed since he was a child, even if he himself is not afraid of suffering and suffering, his parents would not give up, and Brother Yu would not give up either."

Tian Xin clenched the wine glass tightly in his hand, and said in a deep voice: "I gave up my pen and joined the army because I knew that even if I was named on the gold list, I could only be a small official, and I was still not worthy of the second son. Only by joining the army, only by military merit Only by letting a child from a poor family quickly advance to a high position can he be worthy of him."

Hearing this, Shang Jiashu didn't know how to comfort him. "With the talent of a virtuous brother, you will surely find a good marriage."

"Brother Shang, you don't need to comfort me. In fact, I already knew it would end like this. At the beginning, I had the courage to join the army, but I didn't have the courage to express my heart to the second son. When I returned to Beijing, I thought that the second son had already married, and even had child."

While filling his glass, Shang Jiashu said, "They got married last autumn. Ji Ming changed his past for his words, and changed from an ignorant playboy to today's boy."

Tian Xin raised his glass and drank it all, and said, "Brother Shang, don't worry, Brother Yu won't cause trouble for anyone."

Shang Jiashu nodded slightly, and drank the wine in his glass.

When leaving, Tian Xin bought a large jar of agarwood wine and said loudly, "The agarwood wine is mellow and strong, no wonder the general is full of praise."

Qi Yufeng and others took the opportunity to publicize: "Did you hear that, our brother's agarwood wine is a good wine that even the Great General Zheng Xi is full of praise for!"

Yang Jiming watched Tian Xin go out in a daze, and his love rival helped him with publicity!

Shang Jiashu patted Yang Jiming on the shoulder hard, "Learn from others and be open-minded."

Yang Jiming really wanted to roll his eyes, Dare Uncle is like a mirror in his heart, today's trip was also intentional, right?

"Brother is leaving too?"

"Yes, Dali Temple still has official business to deal with."

"A total of twelve, thank you for your patronage."

"..." Shang Jiashu stared at him with wide eyes in disbelief.

Yang Jiming said without changing his face: "The small jar of wine that the eldest brother and General Tian drank in the workshop is two taels per jar, and the big jar of wine that General Tian took away is eight taels. General Tian said when he left, you pay the bill."

Shang Jiashu paid ten taels with a livid face, and said in his heart: Black shop!These two people are not good people, and they are not worthy of his brother!

On the day of its opening, the customers of Shenxiangfang came like a cloud.

Under Yang Jiming's deliberate publicity, the agarwood wine that General Zhengxi was full of praise soon became famous in the capital.

The wine shop closes at the end of Xushi, and it is Haishi after closing.

Yang Jiming persuaded Shang Jiayan to stay overnight in the winery together, and sent someone back to Hou's mansion to say something.

Yang Jiming took Shang Jiayan to visit the wine making workshop. At first glance, it was not much different from other wine workshops.

Shang Jiayan smiled and said, "Didn't I come here before? It's midnight, what are you eager to bring me to see?"

"Come with me and you'll know." Yang Jiming led him in mysteriously.

He led him to the two distillation machines, "Agarwood wine is actually the most common wine, and it depends on these two distillation machines to turn it into spirits." After speaking, he demonstrated it to Shang Jiayan.

Shang Jiayan looked at the distillation machine in surprise, his eyes gradually brightened, "Where did you get this?"

"I did it myself." Yang Jiming said proudly.

Shang Jiayan joked with a smile: "It's good to have the potential to be a craftsman. If you have one more craft, you won't have to worry about not having enough food and clothing in the future."

Yang Jiming smiled naively, "Do you want to try?"

"Okay." Shang Jiayan was eager to try the machine, and carefully thought about the working principle of the machine.

The two stayed at the distillation machine for more than half an hour before leaving.

In the main house, Ziyu and Zilan had already been tidied up.When they returned to the house, they fetched hot water and brought it over, and then withdrew.

After Shang Jiayan finished washing, he went to bed first.

He reminded Yang Jiming: "Distilling machines are easy to be imitated, and agarwood wine is not a long-term solution."

Yang Jiming nodded: "I have invited a master winemaker who has been making wine for 50 years to sit in charge, and there will be better wine in the future."

Shang Jiayan smiled and said, "This time you really impressed me."

Yang Jiming smiled, put the wet towel on the shelf, blew out the candle lamp, and lay down under the blanket.

"Jing Shuo, what is the background of that General Tian who came with elder brother today?"

"He was originally a student who went to Beijing to rush for the exam, but he didn't participate in the scientific exam for some reason. With his talent and learning, he should be on the list."

"That's Juren."

"I didn't expect him to join the Western Expeditionary Army three years ago, and the west has been fighting in the past few years. From an unknown soldier to a fifth-rank general, one can imagine the hardships."

"Abandoning the pen and joining the army, there is courage, courage, and real ability."

"Brother Tian's literary and martial arts strategy, coupled with his military achievements, must have a bright future in the future."

Yang Jiming was sour, and couldn't wait to hand over the winery to Fuquan to take care of it first, so that he would have more time to study and prepare for the exam.

He thought for a while and said, "Mr. Hu is already the champion, I need to hire another teacher."

"It's commendable for you to know how to make progress." Shang Jiayan smiled and gave him a kiss, "However, sir, it's mainly to help enlightenment and lay the foundation. What you need to do next is to read more books and communicate with others more."

"Okay." With such a heinously excellent rival in love, how dare he not make progress...
