Unparalleled Concubine

The next morning, Cui Jiuniang asked someone to go to the Princess Mansion and asked Li Xin to go to the Deyi Building for a while.

Regarding the matter of Zhu Rongjiu, Li Xin was still very concerned. After arranging the affairs of the Princess Mansion briefly, he set off for the Deyi Building.

Under the qualification gazebo in the backyard of Deyi Building, Li Xin bent slightly towards Cui Jiuniang.

"Sister Cui."

Cui Jiuniang stood up and returned the salute: "I'm really sorry to disturb Mr. Li so early in the morning."

Li Xin smiled and said, "Sister Cui is being polite, but what happened to the liquor business?"

Cui Jiuniang nodded lightly: "Yesterday, many high-ranking officials and dignitaries in the capital came forward to buy this kind of Zhurong wine. I pushed a lot according to the method you said, but some of them really couldn't be shirked, so I invited Mr. Li to come over and discuss. .”

During this period of time, His Royal Highness King Wei was busy in the court and had no time to take care of the private wine sales. Li Xin was in charge of the affairs of Deyilou, so now, Cui Jiuniang wanted to ask Li Xin.

Li Xin smiled and said: "No matter who they are, just push them together, and just say no, no matter how powerful those nobles are, they can't let Deyilou conjure wine for them, right?"

Cui Jiuniang smiled faintly: "It's okay for others to say, but there is someone who is really hard to refuse."

Li Xin asked in surprise, "Who is it?"

Most of the high-level circles in the capital know whose business is Deyilou. In the entire capital, there are really not many people in the Wei Palace who can't afford to offend.

Cui Jiuniang narrowed her eyes and said with a smile, "It's Mr. Li, you have to be your immediate boss."

Colonel Li rolled his eyes: "Hou Jingde?"

Having said that, Li Xin shook his head himself.

The Hou family is just a low-ranking general, and Deyilou cannot afford to offend him.

Thinking of this, Li Xin blinked and asked, "Habayashi Wei Zhonglang general Ye Lin?"

Cui Jiuniang nodded and said: "Actually, it's not that Ye Zhonglang is going to drink it. The old man of Ye's family is famous for his good wine in the capital. After hearing the name of Zhu Rongjiu, old man Ye specially asked his younger son to drink it." Come here to..."

Chen Guogong Ye Sheng!

No.1 in the Jin army, a legendary general in the era of Emperor Wu!

Li Xin squinted his eyes, thought for a long time, and finally did not dare to offend the respected Chen Guogong.

Colonel Li sighed lightly.

"I have been in the Habayashi Guard for so long, and I haven't given a gift to the Shangguan yet. Let's say that, tomorrow I will bring two jars of wine in person and go to Ye's house to pay a visit to the Shangguan."

Chapter 151 Old Guy

Chen Guogong's mansion is also in Yongle Square.

Before going to visit Ye's family, Li Xin greeted Wei Wang's mansion, so when he arrived at the gate of Wei Wang's mansion with two jars of spirits the next day, Ye Mao, the young master of Chen Guogong's mansion whom he hadn't seen for a long time, Li Xin was already waiting at the door.

When Li Xin went to Wei Wangfu for the first time, it was this little eunuch who acted with the Ninth Princess, trying to frighten Li Xin, but later this matter was left alone, and Li Xin never saw this little eunuch again. .

At this moment, Ye Mao no longer had the domineering look he had at the beginning, he clasped his fists at Li Xin, smiled and said: Captain Li, long time no see. "

Li Xin also clasped his hands together, and said with a smile, "I've seen the young man."

Ye Mao pulled Li Xin by the sleeve and welcomed him into Chen Guogong's mansion.

When walking on the road, Ye Mao smiled a little embarrassedly: "Yesterday His Highness sent someone to deliver a letter to me, and I realized that this business was made by Deyilou. If I had known, I wouldn't need my uncle to go to Deyilou. I'll just go to Prince Wei's mansion and get some back."

Ye Mao has a good relationship with Wei Wangfu, so he naturally knows whose property is Deyilou.

Li Xin said with a smile: "Grand Ye is the person with the most meritorious service in the Jin Dynasty. He likes to drink alcohol. We should have sent him over earlier. It's just that he's been busy these days, so he won't remember it for a while. Don't you, my lord?" Blame it."

"Lieutenant Li, what are you talking about?"

Ye Mao led Li Xin to the backyard as he walked towards the inner mansion, and said helplessly: "My ancestor has no other hobbies in his life, except to enjoy the things in the cup. I don't know where I heard about it a few days ago. If there is any spirits in the capital, let my little uncle get a few jars and bring them back, which disturbed His Highness."

The Ye family handed over the military power more than 30 years ago, and he has extremely heavy military achievements. Logically speaking, this young prince should not be friendly with any prince, but for some reason, he chose to go with Wei Wangfu very close.

What's even more strange is that Mr. Ye didn't bother to ask.

The two of them walked for a stick of incense in the Duke's mansion, and then they came to the gate of a courtyard. At the gate of the courtyard, Ye Lin, the general of Habayashi Wei who never went to Habayashi Guard, was waiting at the door.

Ye Mao bowed and saluted: "Uncle."

Li Xin also clasped his fists: "I have seen General Zhonglang."

Ye Lin is not a serious person, so he smiled when he heard the words: "When Ye Mao talked to me today, I realized that the Deyi Building is the property of the Wei Palace. Yesterday, I was a little rude in the Deyi Building. Li Xiaowei and His Royal Highness Wei Wang spoke on my behalf. Pay me no."

Ye Lin is different from Ye Mao, he is a pure warrior, he is waiting to be promoted to the position of Zhonglang General, and to serve in the northern frontier army, he is far less understanding of the intricate relationship between Beijing and China than his nephew Ye Mao clear.

So when he went to buy wine at Deyilou yesterday, he spoke a little aggressively.

Li Xin shook his head: "No problem."

Ye Lin got out of the way, smiled at the two people: "Father is inside, you two go in, remember to persuade Ye Mao, don't let father drink too much."

After Mr. Ye got drunk, he would often go crazy with alcohol, and he was too old to stand the trouble, that's why Ye Lin asked him to do so.

Ye Mao also smiled: "Uncle, don't worry, Grandpa will beat someone if he drinks too much, and nephew will save it."

The two walked into the yard. There were indeed a lot of flowers and plants in the yard. An old man in single clothes with a stooped body was playing with a pair of scissors and tending these flowers and plants.

This is...Chen Guogong Ye Sheng...

The peerless and ruthless man who led the Imperial Guards of the Jin Dynasty and defeated the capital of the Northern Zhou Dynasty in one fell swoop!

A living fossil of the Jin army!

More than 30 years ago, Ye Cheng was only in his early 40s when he accomplished the feat of destroying the country. It was just a pity that too many meritorious deeds are not a good thing. After he returned to the capital and handed over the military power, he He has been staying in Chen Guogong's mansion, and has almost never left the capital.

In a blink of an eye, this Chen Guogong was over 70 years old.

In the past ten years, Ye Cheng even claimed to be sick and refused to go to the court, and he did not even go to the court meeting.

In comparison, Li Zhijie, Marquis of Pingnan, who was with him among his siblings, has left a family fortune to his children and grandchildren, and he has the taste of being king in the southwest.

Li Xin put down the wine jar, and bowed respectfully to the old man: "Habayashi Guard Li Xin, I have met the Duke."

Ye Mao knelt down and kowtowed: "The grandson kowtowed to the grandfather."

The old man put down the copper scissors in his hand, looked back at Li Xin and Ye Mao, and finally set his eyes on the wine jar on the ground, with a smile on his face: "Is this the Zhu Rong wine, which is said to be a bowl that must be drunk?"

Only then did Li Xin see Ye Cheng's appearance. He was a wrinkled but energetic old man. Lieutenant Li replied, "Back to the Lord, this is Zhu Rongjiu."

The two jugs of wine that Li Xin brought over had been blended, and they were far from as strong as the previous few days, only about forty or fifty degrees.
