wine color

Chapter 42

"Master, this is the information of the large and small merchants participating in this banquet. Except for the Liu family in the north and the merchants that have closed down in the past year, all the rest of the wine merchants are here. Because it is an important banquet, all the owners of each family have come. , the accompanying ones are almost all young masters, as well as talented and intelligent children from the family."

"En." Uncle Luo took a few pieces of paper from Tianshu that were written in small script, and read them carefully, while Tianshu was waiting aside, explaining what he needed to explain, and two of them couldn't figure it out I will record it and check it again, and I am busy quietly.

"Master Nan, this is for you, please have a look." On the other side of the study, Tianxuan also handed over the same information to Nan Mingxuan.

Nanming Xuanduan sat behind the desk, his face contorted.Why did my brother take Mingyue to the first day's banquet, but left him with Mr. Luo?Why is he looking at these headaches in the study?What does the head of the family love his wife like his life, and the wife of the family loves jade, what does this have to do with him?

"Tianxuan, do you have to write these down?" My head hurts... my head hurts...

"Yes, Young Master Nan and Master read the same document. If possible, please write down every word." Tianxuan said with a smile on her face.There is no way, they will have to deal with these people frequently in the future, the so-called suiting their preferences and prescribing the right medicine must first remember the other person's hobbies, right?Young Master Qingxiao doesn't want to read these things, so he can only hand them over to Nan Mingxuan.

"This is what Sanye Luo read?" Nan Mingxuan glanced at Uncle Luo Shi, then looked at the information in his hand, frowning.Impossible, if Mr. Luo and him are reading the same document, then why can Mr. Luo read it so quickly, so easily and happily, while he reads it slowly like a snail, and it is heartbreaking and painful. In other words, how could this completely different state be caused by looking at the same file!

"It's absolutely true. Master Nan, do you want to verify it yourself?" Tianxuan laughed secretly.The master obviously seldom even talks to this boy, but this boy is very afraid of him, and even takes a peek at him. It would be as difficult as heaven for him to take the initiative to talk to him.

"No need, no need." Nan Mingxuan froze for a moment, then hurriedly shook his head, "But where did you get these things? Even the girl Sun Ming has a crush on knows?"

"I don't need to worry about this, Young Master Nan. Please concentrate on reading and memorize it by heart." Oh, I'm so happy. I'm really happy to see others doing things they don't want to do with a mournful face.

"...Oh." Brother, why don't you take me away?

"What's wrong with him?" On the other side, Uncle Luo, who was already very used to these things, quickly read the information. After reading it, he also remembered eight or nine. Nan Mingxuan raised his eyebrows with a weeping face as if he was about to die.

"It's okay, it's probably just that I'm not used to doing these things. In the past, these things in the Nan family were cooked by Nanfeng. Although they were training Nanmingxuan, they were just taken with me. Now that Nanfeng is not here, he is suddenly asked to do these things. , I will definitely not be able to adapt." What was the grandfather like when he was 17 years old?Have you started to take the fleet to sea?Tsk tsk, Nan Mingxuan still lacks practice.

"Just get used to it." Looking at Nan Mingxuan again, Uncle Luo looked away.There is no convenience, no shortcuts for this kind of thing, you can only grasp the skills through repeated repetitions, practice makes perfect, "Is everything okay at home?"

"Well, it's going well. The young master and the second young master also grew up by the master's side. They are very good at shipping, but the methods are not as sharp as the master's. So far, nothing has happened. Our fleet has Yuheng and Take it with Kaiyang, no problem." I knew that the master would miss it, so Yuheng would fly pigeons every now and then to pass letters to report that he was safe.

"En, that's good." Uncle Luo nodded, originally he didn't intend to pay attention to Nan Mingxuan, but the kid looked over from time to time, and his eyes that were dying were annoying, "If you can't see it, then Come with me for a drink."

"Okay!" Even if Uncle Luo didn't mention his name, Nan Mingxuan knew that the words were addressed to him. He patted the papers on the table and stood up, looking at Uncle Luo with a smirk.

It's really not this material... Uncle Luo sighed secretly, put down the things in his hands, and took Nan Mingxuan to the cellar in the backyard.

Because it is a place for banquets, in order to facilitate the storage of wine, a cellar has been dug in the backyard of Jingcheng, whether it is an inn or a hotel, and the cellar here is naturally not used by King Gongchun. , so they were requisitioned by Nan Qingxiao, who asked King Gongchun to invite them into this hotel.

Every year in the review, there must be a member of the royal family representing the royal family, and this hotel is prepared for this unfixed royal family, so this hotel not only occupies a larger area than other buildings, but also has a very delicate layout , As for the decorations, they are all changed every year according to the different visitors. For example, this year's decorations are simple and restrained according to King Gong Chun's preferences, restrained but yet majestic.This style is also what Uncle Luo likes, although it seems to Nan Qingxiao that it is too tough, with too sharp edges and corners, it is not a place where people can relax.

Walking out of the courtyard where they are, walking through a small path is the garden in the center of the front yard of the hotel. Walking northward in the garden, passing through a corridor that traverses east and west, is the backyard. The main landscape of the backyard is a huge pond. Trees, rockery and rocks all exist for this pond.There is a viewing pavilion on the west side of the pond, directly below the pavilion is the cellar of the hotel, and the entrance is the three wide stone steps of the viewing pavilion.

Uncle Luo and King Gongchun tacitly did not arrange guards on the bright side, but each sent a few hidden guards to guard in the dark, lest there be no money here.

Tianxuan took two quick steps and knocked on the mechanism of the entrance first. The three stone steps were slowly retracted to one side, revealing a square hole that only allowed one person to pass through. After a while, Tianxuan took out a fire pocket and lit it and threw it in Seeing that the fire was still burning after it hit the ground, he jumped down.

Uncle Luo and Nan Mingxuan jumped down, with Tianshu behind.

"Check it out." They didn't bring much wine this time, and they only occupied a small space in the wine cellar. You can see everything clearly at a glance, but to be cautious, Uncle Luo still asked Nan Mingxuan to follow the sky. Pivot them to check.The mechanism of this cellar is simple, if someone comes in and tampers with it, then Qing Xiao's efforts of more than two months will be in vain.

"Aren't they all good?" Nan Mingxuan looked at the neatly stacked wine jars, not knowing what else they needed to check.

"Oh, just to be on the safe side, come here, Master Nan, help me smell it and see if there is anything strange about the smell." Tian Xuan rolled his eyes, pulled Nan Mingxuan to the front of the wine jar, and pressed Nan Mingxuan squatted down, "Be careful with the Wannian ship, not to mention that our wine is expensive, so there must be no mistakes."

"Oh." Nan Mingxuan nodded half-understanding, and then got busy.

Uncle Luo stood on the spot with his hands behind his back, squinting his eyes and scanned every place in the cellar. After scanning around, he felt that there was nothing wrong, so he took two steps and bent down to pick up the fire bag that Tianxuan had thrown down before. When he bent down, he suddenly caught sight of something wrong from the corner of his eye. Uncle Luo paused and raised his head abruptly.

"Who's there?!"

The moment Uncle Luo opened his mouth, a figure suddenly jumped out from the base of the wall and went straight to the exit of the cellar. He climbed up like a monkey nimbly, and after jumping out, he wanted to seal the entrance. When he turned around and was about to squat down, Uncle Luo suddenly jumped from below. It came out, this speed was directly jumped up with light work.

The man reacted quickly, turned his head and ran away.

"Stop!" Uncle Luo landed steadily on the ground, and seeing that the man had already run a certain distance, he picked up a small stone from the ground with his toes, threw the stone into the air with the back of his foot, and lifted his foot casually. Kick, the small stone flew out quickly, and hit the knee socket of the left leg of the person in front.

With a "plop", the man twisted his legs and fell completely.

"catch him!"

"Yes!" Tianxuan, who rushed up from behind, rushed out before Uncle Luo gave the order. When Uncle Luo's voice fell, Tianxuan had already caught him, and easily removed the opponent's chin. It's superfluous, but be prepared.So Tianxuan cheerfully carried the person up.

"What? What's the matter?" It happened suddenly, and before Nan Mingxuan could figure out what was going on, Luo Shushi and Tianxuan rushed out from the cellar one after another. Nan Mingxuan became anxious when he saw it, but he He didn't know how to do light work, so he could only climb slowly. Fortunately, Tianshu was behind him to comfort him, so he managed to climb up.

"Master Nan, can you turn your head a little faster?" Looking at Nan Mingxuan's dumbfounded look, Tianxuan found it very interesting.

"Is the wine all right?" Uncle Luo turned his head, intending to ask Nan Mingxuan, but his eyes paused on Nan Mingxuan, and he gave up his idea, then turned his head and looked at Tianshu.

"We don't think there is a problem. It's scary that we have to wait for Master Qingxiao to come back." The seal of each jar of wine is tightly sealed, and it doesn't look like someone has tampered with it, but it is not necessary to open the jar to tamper with the wine. If he wanted to smell it, he and Tianxuan couldn't do it, and Nan Mingxuan couldn't do it either, so he had to wait for Master Qingxiao to come back.

"Well, the entrance is sealed. Bring a secret guard on duty to the study." This man was unfamiliar, and he had to ask carefully how the stranger got close to the cellar and entered smoothly.

"Yes, sir."
