Me and my Jianghu Tavern

This is not a ledger, it records some things, where and what someone did on a certain day of a certain year, and even the weather at that time is clearly recorded.

What surprised Zhang Ming was that there were more than ten such 'books' on this desk alone.

Guo Xiao seemed to have found something and turned it over to Zhang Ming.

[In the 23rd year of Tianhe, on September 21th, Prince Jianru entered Jiangling City, and met Jiange Jianzi... On September [-]st, the Su family dismissed all members of the family, for the sake of their hearts, they gave up their family...]

"What happened in Jiangling back then?" Zhang Ming asked.

It records what happened between him and Gu Qingshan and Chuhang in Jiangling and the Su family in Jiangling. Everything is recorded, including Jiu Tie Mian, the housekeeper of the Su family, and the killer of Feihuatai. The records are clear. .

"The downfall of the Su family is indeed related to you, but it was created by Su Cheng, and it has little to do with you." Guo Xiao looked at Zhang Ming and pondered for a moment, then continued: "But later..."

After finishing speaking, Guo Xiao turned a few more pages, pointed to a line and placed it in front of Zhang Ming.

"here."

--------------------------

In the 23rd year of Tianhe, Ganqi in October.

There was a man who went up to Jianshan Mountain with a sword, and the sword knocked on the mountain gate to enter the master of heaven and earth.

Invite the elders of Jiange to attack.

In the end, he died under the sword of Taoist chief Tiger Qianjian.

This person's name is Su Mu, and he is the second son of the Su family in Jiangling.

--------------------------

"Su Mu, went to Sword Mountain?"

Zhang Ming was stunned for a moment and asked, "He's alone."

Guo Xiao nodded and said in a deep voice, "Alone!"

Chapter 257: Hundred Flowers Wine

"Do you think Su Cheng is stupid?" Guo Xiao asked suddenly.

Zhang Ming raised his head and was stunned for a moment, feeling a little unbelievable.

Is Su Cheng stupid?

This sentence seemed to remind him.

How can the Su family survive for a hundred years and rely on the eldest princess, how can the current head of the family be such a fool.

That being the case, would Su Cheng take the whole family to gamble just because he was angry?

"Sir, you mean..." Zhang Ming hesitated.

Guo Xiao put down the 'ledger' in her hand, shook her head and sighed, "I'm just guessing."

Zhang Ming pondered for a moment, this matter might not be that simple

Guo Xiao caressed Hu and sighed: "Now that Su Mu is dead, there may be many changes in the future."

"Thank you sir for reminding me." Zhang Ming bowed his head.

"It's good to understand in your heart."

After a while, Jian Wu came to the study with the wine jar in his arms.

The soil that was originally stained on the wine jar has been washed away, and the wine jar is placed on the table, with some water stains on the walls of the jar.

Guo Xiao looked at it: "You go."

Zhang Ming stepped forward two steps to the wine jar.

He was looking forward to it. After drinking his wine, Guo Xiao naturally understood what kind of good wine Zhang Ming said, so this jar of wine would definitely not disappoint Zhang Ming.

Zhang Ming removed the sealing paper of the wine jar layer by layer. The wine sealing paper buried in the ground is usually very thick, for the purpose of sealing, some cloth is used.

Finally uncovered the last layer.

A strong fragrance of flowers wafted from the wine jar.

Zhang Ming stepped forward to sniff the wine, a little intoxicated.

But Zhang Ming always felt that the aroma of this wine was somewhat familiar, as if he had drunk it before.

The aroma of this wine contains the aroma of flowers, and there is more than one of them. Zhang Ming seems to have seen the flowers blooming in the backyard, and every flower aroma seems to be mixed in it.

Seeing Zhang Ming's intoxicated appearance, Guo Xiao smiled slightly, and said to Jian Wu beside him: "Jian Wu, go get a cup."

Jian Wu nodded in agreement, and brought the wine glass.

Zhang Ming came back to his senses, looked at him and said, "Sir, is this wine famous?"

"Yes." Guo Xiao nodded, and then replied, "It's called Baihua."

Zhang Ming was taken aback when he heard the word "hundred flowers".

Hundred Flowers Wine.

Zhang Ming finally remembered why the fragrance of wine was so familiar.

When Zhang Ming was in Jian'an, he had tasted Baihua wine from Qingyu Tower, and the aroma of the wine was not much different from this jar of wine.

However, what Zhang Ming couldn't figure out was that this jar of wine was also called Baihua wine.

"Sir." Zhang Ming looked at Guo Xiao, and expressed his doubts: "As far as I know, the wine in Qingyu Tower is also called Baihua. Is there any difference between the two?"

"If we talk about it, this wine should have come from Qingyu Tower." Guo Xiao said, he paused and said: "But compared to the Baihua wine in Qingyu Tower today, my jar is much better."

"It's natural." Zhang Ming replied.

After all, Baihua Niang from Qingyu Tower is a quick-cooked wine, and it can be taken out to drink within a few days. Naturally, there will be defects. Zhang Ming thought that this was also the reason why Baihua Jiu was not popular when he first drank Baihua Wine.

Jian Wu came over with two wine glasses.

Guo Xiao waved his hand and said, "Give it to him."

Zhang Ming thanked him and took the wine glass.

After taking a small glass of wine, Zhang Ming took a sip.

The fragrance of flowers enters the throat and hits the nose. At this moment, hundreds of flower fragrances permeate Zhang Ming's mouth.

The wine is sweet and moist, and the wine is very soft without any pungent throat feeling.

This feeling is very subtle, as if it is difficult to let go, and I want to have another drink.

This is the real Hundred Flowers Wine, or in other words, this is the Hundred Flowers Wine in Zhang Ming's mind.

[The host has tasted [Baihua Wine (medium quality)], tasting progress: 7%]

[Changan area mission, mission progress: (6/10)]

Guo Xiao looked up at Zhang Ming and asked, "How?"

Guo Xiao seemed curious about how the wine tasted, staring at Zhang Ming and waiting for him to speak.

Zhang Ming pondered for a moment before answering: "Flowers have different fragrances, like a hundred flowers blooming together, so beautiful."

"Mr. Guo, why don't you try it?" Zhang Ming asked.

"Me?" Guo Xiao shook his head and said, "I won't taste it, I've been tired of this wine in the past few years."

"Is that so?" Zhang Ming asked suspiciously, "Mister, do you really want to try it?"

"I don't want to taste it." Guo Xiao said with a smile.

Zhang Ming didn't try to persuade him any more, thinking that there was a relationship in the wine, maybe this was what Guo Xiao didn't want to face the most.

"Take the wine away, don't forget what you promised me."

"must."

After exchanging some pleasantries, Zhang Ming took Baihua wine and left here.

The task is further advanced, and the task is also put on the process.

It is estimated that the task in this area will be completed in a few days, and he will be able to leave Chang'an City by then.

It's just that Guo Xiao reminded Zhang Ming when he mentioned the matter of the Su family today.

Not everyone in this world is stupid.

Did Su Cheng just give up the Su family's century-old foundation because of the death of the eldest son?It is estimated that it will not be so simple.

Maybe there are other plans, but I don't know what Su Cheng is thinking.

However, now that Su Mu is dead, the interest in this matter may be different. Su Mu's death may not only involve Jianshan, but also many people.

Maybe the current Su family doesn't have this strength, but it's terrible to be crazy.

If he is not found in the future, Zhang Ming does not intend to get involved, but if the Su family finds him, he must make a plan early.

.........

These things are still far away, and Zhang Ming is not in a hurry. Right now, I just need to concentrate on completing the tasks assigned to me by the system.

After returning to the mansion, Monk Nian'an, who was about to leave, met Zhang Ming. He smiled and said, "Did the shopkeeper get anything today?"

"some."

Zhang Ming agreed and asked, "Are you going out?"

"To see an old friend." Nian An said calmly.

Zhang Ming didn't ask any further questions, Monk Nian'an passed him by and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Monk Nian'an was very eccentric, so he was not curious to find his old friend Zhang Ming. He might be a very special person. After all, this guy has lived for hundreds of years, so he must be an old man.

Zhang Ming went back to the house and saw that Xiao Qi was still sleeping. He must have woken up in the morning, and he was sleeping in the cage. This little guy is very lazy.

Zhang Ming didn't bother it, and left the room.

Sit down in the gazebo, blowing the autumn wind, holding a gourd and drinking.

He poured wine into his mouth one mouthful after another.

Unknowingly, the sky slowly darkened.

The sky is glowing red, and the birds fly across the sky and fall into the deep forest in the distance.

It wasn't until this time that Zhang Ming realized that he had been sitting here all afternoon.

Looking at the sky again, only half of the mountain was left with the scorching sun shining red, a little dazzling, but extremely beautiful.

It is dusk.

Zhang Ming looked at the sunset at dusk.

Sometimes, being busy is not a bad thing, at least not sitting at the counter for an entire afternoon like before.

Some things that Zhang Ming thought were troublesome at first, but now they are nothing more than trivial things.

Coming to Chang'an, it's not all fruitless.

Chapter 258: Jianghai Cocktail Party

These days can be described in one sentence: not looking for wine, but on the way to find wine.

In a few days, it was not all fruitless.

There is a wine named [Lengyang Wine], which is strong wine.

From Huamanlou, it happened to be met by Zhang Ming, but this wine is ordinary, but for some reason, it meets the conditions of the system, and the task progress is also up (7/10).

As for why this Lieyang wine is counted, Zhang Ming didn't have time to find out, but he can study it if he has a chance in the future.

In other words, Zhang Ming was able to leave Chang'an with three drinks left.

But this kind of wine is the most difficult to find. During the period, Zhang Ming searched Chuanliu several times and asked Monk Nian'an, but still found nothing.

That night, Zhang Ming still couldn't find him, and happened to be tired from walking, so he went to sit in the old beggar's tavern for a while.
