The owner can be his wife

That night, no one saw Chen Yan and Gu Yunxi when they left the mansion, which was enough to prove how dedicated the housekeeper was in the aftermath work.And in the middle of the night, it is naturally impossible to have a tavern that is still in operation. As for where Chen Jian is going, the first choice in Beijing is Xinghuafang, which Si Kongxiang often visits.

Sneaking in from the warehouse, Gu Yunxi watched as Chen Yan skillfully knocked out the watchdog who was still doing his duty, and then opened the corner door.Apparently it's not the first time.Chen Jian entered the wine cellar, took out a jade bead from his sleeve and put it in a wine jar. The inside of the jade bead was obviously hollow, because it had been in the wine jar for a long time before sinking to the bottom of the jar.

Looking up, I saw Gu Yuntai take out a set of wine utensils from the wine cabinet on the side, which is the best rattan cup for flower brewing.Picking up the wine jar, he jumped onto the beam lightly. "This way." Holding the wine glass, it is naturally difficult to use Youlong, Gu Yuntai tapped his toes, and spun onto the beam. "It seems that the prince is a frequent visitor of this Xinghuafang."

Shaking the wine jar, there was an exquisite sound of running water, as if there was a clear spring constantly gushing in the wine jar.Chen Yan breathed a sigh of relief, and filled the wine glass that Gu Yunyi handed over, "I have only been in Beijing for two years, so I can't be considered a regular visitor. It's just that the wine cellar of Xinghuafang will come here whenever I have free time. .Others like the old wine, but I prefer this new wine. Because it is cheaper than the old wine, haha.”

"Even the new wine, paired with your medicine jade, is as rich as old wine." Gu Yuntai said softly, "You are clearly breaking parts into wholes, and you are not saving at all."

Chen Jian turned the wine jar upside down, and the wine flowed out from the small outlet like a clear spring.Pour it straight into the rattan cup in your hand, the fragrance of the grass and trees mixed with the elegance of the flower wine, and the medicine jade in it to slightly settle the taste, the whole jar of wine has been completely reborn.

"Have you thought about the consequences of venting your hatred today?" Chen Yan was taken aback for a moment, but he didn't see that Gu Yunxi did.Shaking his head, "This is not venting hatred. I have no preparations for venting hatred. I have waited for three days for their actions today." Sometimes it is refined to condense pills and lock in the properties of the medicine. It is really overkill to condense wine.

"Since Ren Mingze appeared, your plan has been disrupted." Gu Yuntai looked at the red threads in the whites of Chen Yan's eyes, "If you didn't suppress your hatred, you wouldn't let Concubine Hui be sentenced today." Chen Jian paused, A flash of insight flashed in his eyes, which was something he hadn't expected. Gu Yuntai's cold voice continued, but Chen Yan couldn't hear it, but he heard every word in his heart, "Why are you torturing her?"

"This is not torture, this is punishment." Chen Jian lifted the wine jar again, this time pouring it directly into his mouth instead of facing the ivy cup. "Then why did you come here to drink?" If you didn't have hope, how could you do this? Is it Hui Concubine or yourself who will be punished?Gu Yunyu didn't ask the rest of the words, he would not interfere much with King Yan, just like King Yan knew that he had been poisoned but didn't ask.

"The mansion is too angry, and let the cold wind blow overnight." Chen Jian wiped the wine stains on his mouth and threw the wine jar back to its original place. There was a hollow sound, the jade beads bounced, Chen Jian's fingers moved slightly, and then stopped again .When the jade bead fell into the altar again, he stretched out his arms and jumped off the beam of the house, leaped around his body, lowered his arms, retracted the jade bead, and took advantage of the situation to make a turning point at the corner door.

Back in Fangliang, Gu Yuntai turned his head, "The kite turned over, how could the lord know such tricks?" Chen Jian's face turned reddish, but it was the actions just now that made the smell of alcohol rise.Holding the medicine jade in his hand, "it is naturally used to steal jade and fragrance."

Gu Yun smiled brightly, but it alarmed the guards of Xinghuafang.When the noise came, Chen Jian turned his hands, and the two wine glasses returned to their positions. As for the wine pot, he looked good, so he used it.Putting a golden marble at the entrance, Chen Yan and Gu Yunxi floated out.

"It made me disturb the interest of the prince." Although Gu Yuntai said so, the corners of his eyes and brows did not show.Chen Jian shook his head, "It's okay, but it's really not possible to go back to the mansion right now." Leaving aside the layout over there, the smell in the mansion alone is enough to give him a headache.

"Night tour at this time, I'm afraid it will violate the curfew of the capital." It was close to the third watch at this time, and it seemed that he hadn't been in Xinghuafang for a long time, but he had drunk a few cups.Chen Jian pondered for a moment, "It's better to go to Sikong's house. The fine wine in his house is well-known in the capital. It's just that the old Marshal Sikong guards him tightly, so it's hard to get it."

Tonight, perhaps because of the smell of alcohol, Chen Jian relaxed a lot in his work.However, Gu Yunyu had some insight. After what happened tonight, no matter whether the person behind it was the prince or not, the King of Yan had some time to relax, not to mention how precious this time is at this time, but after the eighth day of the lunar new year The first imperial decree was his opportunity for relaxation.

If it was said that Chen Jian and King Yan were always at a disadvantage a few years ago, after that year, it would be time to tear a hole in the trap gradually closed by others.

"Then Gu will give up his life to accompany the prince today." Seeing Gu Yun's attitude, Chen Yan slowly raised the corners of his mouth, and jumped up to the roof on one side.At this time, Chen Jian was still wearing the black robe he wore during the interrogation, and it was appropriate to walk around in the night clothes, as long as the fact that the robe was originally a court dress was ignored.

In Marshal Sikong's mansion, Chen Yan stretched out his hand to stop Gu Yunxi who was behind him, and the two of them watched the figure who quietly went out from the gate of the mansion, and they actually went in the direction of King Yan's mansion.

"Sikongxiang is not in the mansion so late, what are you going to do?" Gu Yuntai didn't know about Shen Qing and Sikongxiang, so he asked this question, but Chen Yan felt that this topic seemed inappropriate.Pursing his lips, "He is looking for Guard Shen."

"He and Shen Shiwei have a good relationship." During this New Year's Eve, who is not accompanying... Gu Yunxi paused in thought, and twisted his cuffs unconsciously with his fingers.He was startled by the sudden tingling pain from his wrist. Why did he still have it, even though he hadn't stopped taking the medicine recently? "Sikong is out of the mansion. If we want to find the key to the wine cellar, it might be hard to find."

"It's okay, the key to the wine cellar is not with Sikong." Chen Jian waved, "Let's go."

Saying that, he turned and entered the mansion. The wine cellar of Sikong's house was not hidden, but there was a bronze general guarding the door. Chen Jian took off the hairpin that tied his hair, and the straight hair that was tied on his head fell down. The robe added a bit of evil spirit.Chen Jian tapped the bronze general lightly twice and opened in response.

"And don't tie it up, it's easier to loose it like this." Gu Yuntai took the golden hairpin from Chen Yan's hand and played with it in his hand. What he didn't say was, looking at it like this, you still have a bit of your hair The look of a brother.

Chen Jian tied up her hair that was scattered on both sides so as not to obstruct her sight, she looked more like a loafer in the rivers and lakes. "The strange wine that I drank in Qionglu Tower that time was full of strength, but it still lacked a bit of mellowness. The old marshal here has a jar of national wine that was mixed with new wine and aged repeatedly in less than a hundred years when the previous dynasty was founded. The taste is very mellow, but you can't drink too much, let alone the 700-year-old wine, it is full of energy."

"National brewing is brewed with the power of the whole country. Marshal Sikong must cherish it very much, and the marshal who is careful knows." Gu Yuntai has heard of the limelight of that country's brewing. According to the miscellaneous notes of the history books of the previous dynasty, this wine was originally brewed by farmers a hundred years ago. More than a dozen kinds of newly harvested grains were brewed with hundreds of tans and dedicated to the second emperor of the previous dynasty. The emperor was reluctant to drink it, so he stored it in the wine cellar in the palace. It is brewed from thousands of dan grains.In order to take the meaning of not lacking in food and clothing in the previous dynasty, the country is peaceful and the people are safe.

The original name was Qianliangxie, but unfortunately the later emperors thought the word Xie meant to wither, so they changed the name to Guoniang.So much so that in the end, it was the previous dynasty that imposed taxes and food to allocate national wine, which made life difficult for the people of the former dynasty in the last years.

"Marshal Sikong has always tabooed about the affairs of the previous dynasty, and the national wine was specially rewarded by the Sui Emperor of the previous dynasty to lure the Marshal into the water. The Sui Emperor once said that the Marshal also used the wine brewed with the painstaking efforts of thousands of people. Isn't it the same as what you said? Are the violent officials the same?" Chen Yan checked the seal on the top of the wine jar, while talking to Gu Yuntai about the source of the Sikong family's national wine, "The angry Marshal Sikong smashed the imperial wine cup and left with a flick of his sleeves. Not long after, Emperor Sui sent someone to forcefully deliver the wine to the marshal's mansion. The marshal had Si Kongxiang at his knees and his son at the border, so he would have to accept the wine if he didn't."

Taking out the wine jar with a yellow seal on it, Chen Jian blew off the dust on it, "It's just that the marshal later found out that the wine was not mixed with new wine, and it was Emperor Sui who deliberately changed everything in the old dynasty, so the new wine The wine stored in the Sui Emperor's palace was broken when the rebel army entered the palace."

"You mean that the Sui Emperor of the former dynasty wanted to end the corruption?" Gu Yuntai's question made Chen Jian feel cold, but he didn't show it on his face, "It's good that he wanted to change, but he used the wrong method and also used it." Wrong time." Pour the wine in the altar into the wine jug brought from Xinghuafang, the clear wine has a viscous feeling.

"If Emperor Sui was born 400 years earlier, when the previous dynasty showed its collapse, it would not be the sun and the moon today." Pour the wine in the jug into the mouth, and the nearly thousand-year-old wine is thick and thick. Drinks are comparable.Chen Jian drank nearly a jar of condensed apricot flower wine today, and after taking a sip, the alcohol rushed to his forehead in a flicker.

Seeing him like this, Gu Yunxi took the remaining flagon in his hand, "How does it taste?"

"Just taste it and you'll know." Chen Jian leaned on the wine jar, the corners of his eyes were flushed, his lips were as red as blood, other than that, there was no change at all.Gu Yuntai lifted the jug, and the wine flowed out from the small spout, and it was only half a tael into the mouth, but the viscous wine in it seemed to be numb after filling the whole tank of wine, and the mellow fragrance entered the inside through breathing Inner abdomen, Gu Yuntai's cheeks were dyed dark red, and his eyes became darker and brighter.The corners of his mouth hooked slightly, "The reputation is well-deserved."

"That's natural." Chen Jian re-sealed the wine jar and began to rummage in the wine cellar. Usually, after stealing wine, Si Kongxiang would take a sober pill in the wine cellar. To ensure their safe return home.

He took out a white porcelain bottle hidden in the wall. The ice pills inside were as white as snow, but the ingredients in it could not be seen at all.Chen Jian took out two, and handed one of them to Gu Yunxi. At this time, the two of them were still full of the numbness caused by the drink, and neither of them wanted to say more.After taking the pill, there was a burst of refreshment in his mouth, and then his whole body seemed to have been soaked in ice water, and most of the alcohol on his body was gone.

Seeing Chen Jian's movements, Gu Yunxi did not suspect him. He took the pill in his hand, but the next moment his whole body stiffened and his limbs and joints ached. The sense of dislocation caused by the chills made him moan.

Chen Jian's expression tightened, and he opened the rest of the pills to check. There was nothing wrong with it. Could it be that he took the only problematic one among them?Before he had time to think about it, Chen Yan put the medicine bottle in his arms, and lifted Gu Yuntai who was on the ground, seeing that his complexion was as pale as paper in an instant, without the rosy glow just now.Picking up the person, Chen Jian came out of the wine cellar regardless of whether there would be traces left.

The guards of the Marshal's Mansion looked at the two people in front of them in a daze, and then stepped forward to surround them. Chen Jian waved one hand, and the silk belt from his sleeve popped out, and the silk belt infused with inner strength overturned the surrounding guards to the ground.Chen Jian took the opportunity to jump out of the courtyard wall, and disappeared within a few breaths.

The rest of the guards looked at each other in blank dismay, and then quickly responded.

It didn't take a moment for Sikong Sheng to shout, "Go and see if Young Master Sun is still there! Go!"
