wine color

Half a year later, in front of a wooden house of the Chu Division in Huangzhong, Nan Qingxiao was digging wine out of the ground with an attendant.

Chu Shihaotian leaned on the gate frame of the small courtyard and looked at Nan Qingxiao who was playing with mud with his sleeves rolled up. He didn't understand how this nephew, who should be pampered by his sister, could do rough work so smoothly.

The food and lodging conditions in Huangzhong are not comparable to the exquisite comfort of Suining. The winemaking industry here is developed, but people put all their energy on winemaking and don’t care about the food in the house. There is a wooden house for wind protection. The rain is enough, but in the past six months, Nan Qingxiao has not complained once. This boy who grew up in Suining country is more adapted to the living environment here than the young man who was born and raised in Huangzhong. Reciting poems, he lived so comfortably every day, he didn't even look like a person who was arrested and brought back to guard him.

"What's the matter?" After digging out all the wine jars, Nan Qingxiao slapped off the dirt from his hands, and turned to look at Chu Shihaotian.

Nan Qingxiao's attendant only glanced at Chu Shihaotian, and then took tools to clean up the dirt on the wine jar.

"Is that how you talk to uncle?" Chu Shihao raised his eyebrows and stepped into the small courtyard.

It's been half a year, and he doesn't seem to have done anything too much to this nephew, right?At most, the first impression is not very good, but as for the bored look on his face every time I see him?

"Master Chu's family recognizes their relatives when they are in a good mood, but they don't recognize their relatives when they are in a bad mood?" Nan Qingxiao raised her eyebrows, "Come in and have a cup of tea, don't say that my mother is incapable of teaching children when you are in a bad mood."

Nan Qingxiao's sentences were thorny, and she picked out what Chu Shihaotian had actually said. Chu Shihaotian touched his nose guiltily, thinking to himself that this nephew is really stingy.

"No, I didn't come to see you for tea today. The seven ministers are all in the living room. You can go with me."

"Didn't the sacrifice start at night?" Nan Qingxiao looked up at the sky, and found that it was not past noon, why did the seven ministers arrive?Are you afraid that he will escape?

"Just follow me." Chu Shihaotian frowned slightly, feeling very dissatisfied with Nan Qingxiao's constant questioning.The children of Mr. Chu's family are all very obedient, but this one who grew up outside always has a lot of problems.

"Ashi, let's put the wine away first, come and help me tidy up."

"Yes."

Then the two of them completely ignored Chu Shihaotian's existence, and went back to the room to wash and change clothes.

"Qing Xiao, the seven ministers don't need to meet before the Dionysus sacrifice?" As soon as they entered the room, the attendant changed his voice, the voice was deep and deep, obviously it was Uncle Luo's voice.

"I don't know much about the various traditions in Huangzhong, but the seven ministers are the most important people in the seven departments of Huangzhong, and they usually don't appear in front of people. I heard from my mother that they can only see the seven ministers twice a year. The first time was the Spring Festival, and the other time was the Dionysus Festival, but they were all watched from a distance during the sacrificial ceremony, and it was never heard that they would meet before the sacrificial ceremony began."

"Be careful." Uncle Luo frowned slightly, always feeling that these seven old fellows had malicious intentions.

"Don't worry, they don't dare to do anything to me before the Dionysus Sacrifice is over, and during the Dionysus Sacrifice..." Nan Qingxiao sneered, "Have you made all the arrangements?"

"Don't worry. There are not many people in the seven departments of Huangzhong. Tianshu, Tianxuan, Tianquan and Tianji have already led people to lurk in, and the situation will definitely be controlled by then." Luo Shushi took care of his subordinates They have always been very confident, and they have not been able to break through Huangzhong. It is only because Huangzhong has no internal support that they cannot break through. With Qingxiao's help in the past six months, it is easy for them to sneak in.

"Did you invite King Gongchun?" Conquering the Huangzhong area is not just a matter for merchants, the emperor must be notified that the wine can belong to the merchants, but this land must definitely be given to the court.

"Well, King Gongchun has the right to lead people to protect him, so don't worry."

"I finally know why the Luo family's fleet is so loyal." Not only is Master Luo reliable, but even the intended heir is so reliable, why are they not loyal?

"Huh?" Uncle Luo looked at Nan Qingxiao curiously, but he didn't get any explanation from Nan Qingxiao, so he just smiled and didn't care.

The two left the wooden house one after the other, and followed Chu Shihaotian to the so-called living room, which was actually an open space surrounded by stone pillars, with a strange sense of religious mystery.

"Meet the Seven Ministers." The wine has already been brewed for him, so don't annoy the big shot at the last moment, what if he changes people on the spot in a fit of anger?Small indifference leads to chaos and big plans. The purpose of his trip is to kill the so-called God of Dionysus, so it doesn't matter if he pretends to be cute before that.

"Are you Haoyue's son?" Someone raised his eyelids and gave Nan Qingxiao a nonchalant look.

"Exactly." I asked more.Nan Qingxiao secretly rolled her eyes.

"Is all the wine ready for tonight?"

"Yes, I just dug it out, and it must be cleaned up before the wine festival." Nan Qingxiao replied obediently.

"That's good. Have they told you about the wine festival?"

"Yes, uncle has already explained everything, and Qing Xiao remembers it all. For such a big thing as the wine festival, there will be no mistakes."

"Hmph! A kid from outside, don't hide anything."

"How dare Qing Xiao." Even if he had the heart, he wouldn't tell you in advance, "Qing Xiao would never dare to be disrespectful to Dionysus."

"Well, go ahead and prepare well, Haotian, Qingxiao came back from outside, so you may not remember it, so go and tell her again."

"Yes."

"Have you remembered?" After the three of them left the so-called living room, Chu Shihaotian turned his head to look at Nan Qingxiao.

"I remember everything that should be memorized, and it's useless for me to memorize the useless ones." How does he remember so many rules?Anyway, the wine festival won't go to the end, remember what's the difference?

"Tsk! Children who grow up outside are not cute! I don't know what my sister thinks." Chu Shihaotian was speechless with dissatisfaction.

"Aren't you cute?" Nan Qingxiao turned her head to look at Chu Shihaotian, "But it doesn't matter whether you think I'm cute or not, uncle, even if you praise me for being cute, I won't be happy. Uncle, go get busy if you have something to do, Qingxiao says goodbye .”

"Tsk! That face looks like my sister's!" Muttering to himself, Chu Shihaotian turned and went away.
