a tavern

After a "wonderful" day yesterday, it seems that everything is going on as usual, but something is different.For example, early in the morning, after the two of them opened their eyes, the first thing they did was stare.

The two of them who were sleepy and drowsy didn't know when they leaned against the edge of the bed from back to back to face to face. The gentle breath hit each other's faces, and they were so close that they could count each other's eyelashes.

At first, they were dazed, their faces blushed, and then they turned around one after another, hiding the "dongdong" heartbeat, and said in unison: "You get up first!"

It was Wen Cheng who got up first, because she remembered an important matter today: "The wine in the store is sold out, and I need to buy another batch. Now that the year is coming to an end, the wine must sell well!" Sitting on the edge of the bed and dressing, chatting , with a familiar tone like an old married couple.

"Hmm!" Wen Yi hadn't recovered from the "close distance" contact just now, she was wrapped in a quilt, only her clear eyes were exposed, her voice was muffled.

"Then it's okay for you to go to the store, huh?" Wen Cheng put on his shoes with some effort.

"Yeah!" Wen Yi was still the same as before, pinching the corner of the quilt with both hands.

After replying, there seemed to be something wrong, she immediately realized and shook her head: "No, no, no!"

Wen Yi is a hard-working person, helping out at Fugui Restaurant, serving tea and water, serving wine and food, willing to do hard work.But she is really not a businessman. If she is asked to greet the guests, nod and bow, she will not be able to do a single thing.Therefore, the greeter is generally Wen Chengqian.

Wen Cheng knew her, so he teased her just now: "Hey, I'm just joking with you! I've planned a long time ago. Let's take a day off today and go to Yiling City together. Today coincides with the Yiling Market. I told Master Zhang that day! And it hasn’t snowed yet, so it’s convenient for God to do it as soon as possible!”

Master Zhang, the only cook in Fugui Restaurant, is simple and honest, and his cooking skills are undeniable.

"You..." Don't care about that person's boredom, Wen Yi heard that he could go to the market again, he was in a good mood, and hurried to get up: "You get dressed, go out, I want to change!"

"What?" How could Wen Cheng not be surprised by this, feeling that she was dangling in front of this person just now, wearing clothes for a long time, but it was inappropriate?Didn't we say we were sisters?Didn't you agree to be a family?Where did this come from? !

But looking at Wen Yi's serious face, he guessed that the little girl's reserve was at fault, and she didn't have the same knowledge as her, so she went out to arrange the itinerary.

They hired a carriage, took advantage of the early morning, sat in the carriage, staggered, and headed for Yiling City dozens of miles away amidst the "squeak" of the carriage wheels...

"Master Wen, Miss Wen, Linquan Winery is here!" The coachman outside the curtain called out to Wen Cheng and Wen Yi, who were dangling and asleep.Looking at the people leaning against each other again, the two looked at each other, turned their heads, and folded their arms together: "It's so cold!" It's not normal for them to lean together for warmth in winter because they are afraid of the cold?He jumped out of the car, brushed off his clothes, and patted his sore legs and feet.

Looking at the coachman wearing a cotton cap and wrapped in a thick coat, his face was still blue and blue from the cold, rubbing his hands together, exhaling with his mouth, and stamping his feet from time to time.

Wen Cheng quickly took out dozens of pennies: "Master Qian, you've worked hard, take this money first, find a tavern to drink some wine, and warm yourself up! When we pack up the wine, we will call you when we are about to leave! The fare will be settled when we go back." !"

"Okay, thank you Boss Xiaowen, you've finished it, just order someone to come over and call, the one at the farthest east end!" It's freezing cold, he usually doesn't drive, but Boss Xiaowen is another matter, Regular customers are generous, and the most important thing is to be kind to others.

After the instructions were finished, the two trembled a little and entered Linquan Winery.If you say that Linquanfang is an old winery in Yiling City, his family's wine is one of the best in Yiling City, and it can be called unique.The magistrate once praised his family's wine - sweet and mellow, neither bitter nor astringent, harmonious aroma, and refreshing aftertaste.

Linquanfang not only has good wine, but the boss is also good at doing business. There are at least seven or eight branches in all places.As the fourth-generation heir, Linquanfang has truly become the largest winery in the local area in the hands of Li Zhiqing.The Li family has also become a well-known wealthy family in the local area.

"Boss Xiaowen, are you here?" Shopkeeper Zhang of Linquanfang jumped off the bamboo stool, put down the wine grapes, and greeted him politely.

The store is not big, and there are jars of wine on the counter and on the wooden shelves on the back wall, and the aroma of the wine is overwhelming.There are three big vats standing on the open space in the store, which are in the shape of characters, and each vat is about as high as half a person.Look at the situation, just tasting wine.

They are all acquaintances, and Wen Cheng was not too polite, and made a bow: "Master Zhang, it's still the same, five altars of bamboo and leaves. Please ask someone to load the carriage for me and tie it up."

Thinking of getting things done sooner, I can take Wen Yi to the Yiling City Bazaar.It's cold, and there are few stalls outside, but fortunately, there are quite a lot of businesses in the shops.After playing for half a day, I can rush back to Jiuxing Town earlier.

"Okay!" The shopkeeper Zhang nodded to indicate that he would do it, and at the same time called the young man to watch the tea, very politely, and invited the two to sit in the inner room.Instead, Wen Cheng and Wen Yi were flattered, came to have some wine, and received such hospitality.

"Sure enough, it's the style of a big shop. There's nothing to say about treating people, tsk tsk!" Seeing the shopkeeper and the servant retreating, Wen Cheng expressed his feelings.Stand up, put your hands aside, and look at the paintings on the walls around you.The inner halls of the wine shop are all decorated so gorgeously and upscale, and the Li family is rich, so what he said is true.

Wen Yi felt that it was a bit weird, it was just a matter of being warm and welcoming, and there was no need to serve such a good tea for a small individual visitor.If I remember correctly, this tea should be the first of the top ten famous teas in Guanzhong, "Yunqi Tea", and "one tael of silver and one tael of tea" refers to it.To entertain the two of them?

Wen Yi was lost in thought, but only her ears were noisy, so she had to look at the noisy person: "A Yi, look, this painting is "Chao You Xi Er Tu", written by Ji Kang, it is a rare work!" She looked at it It's the eyes that shine.

Unable to see Wen Cheng's rare and strange appearance, Wen Yi said angrily: "It's just a copy of Zhou Wei's copy in the early Tang Dynasty!" Inherent cognition.

Facing Wen Cheng's curious eyes, she didn't know how to explain.

"Crack, clap" only heard two applause, the shopkeeper Zhang at the door propped up the curtain, and a person walked in.Fox jacket and fur hat, gold, stone and jade accessories are hung all over the body, so "extravagant".

"Miss, you have a good eye!" The visitor praised without hesitation: "Ji Kang's original work may not have existed in the world long ago, but this copy from the early Tang Dynasty was found by the old man after painstaking efforts."

Shopkeeper Zhang hurried forward and introduced: "Boss Wen, this is the owner of the house!"

Wen Cheng pulled Wen Yi forward and saluted together: "Boss Li, hello!"

She knew about Li Zhiqing, the real big boss of Linquanfang, but she didn't know why such a person came to see her specially, or was it a coincidence?Some are suspicious.

"This is..." Li Zhiqing seemed to be curious about Wen Yi.The person who casually told the origin of the painting must not be an ordinary person.

"This is my sister-in-law, Wen Yi!" Wen Cheng introduced, "Wen Yi, quickly say hello to Boss Li!"

"Hello, Boss Li!" Wen Yi was as good as he could be, with hands lightly folded, knees slightly bent, and a blessing salute.His face was calm, and he kept making all kinds of calculations inside: "This person's appearance is by no means accidental, and he has nothing to do with me. He just came here for Wencheng, with a gentle attitude and mostly private matters." Yimen guessed a lot.

Li Zhiqing looked at the two of them with a smile on his face, stroked his beard lightly and nodded: "Okay! Your brother and sister are both dragons and phoenixes! It seems that they were born by your parents! Haha!" I guess they mistakenly thought they were relatives Brother and sister, the two did not explain.

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, it is said that people should not be judged by appearances. Li Zhiqing dressed like a rich man, and behaved like a gentleman.

"Haha, Boss Wen may still be wondering, what did the old man say?" Li Zhiqing's ability to observe words and expressions has been practiced for many years, and Wen Cheng has his thoughts on his face.

Wen Cheng sneered, his face that couldn't hide his thoughts was really bad, and he said "hehe".

"I don't know if Boss Xiaowen still remembers, two or three months ago..." Li Zhiqing explained the ins and outs in detail.

From Wen Cheng's point of view, in short: Two or three months ago, Wen Cheng went to Yiling City to have a drink. On the outskirts of the country, he met a woman with a slight ankle injury. Her maid came to ask for help. He wanted to be kind to others. With little effort, they brought the two of them back to Yiling City.

But just such a small matter, Li Zhiqing talked about it for almost a stick of incense, from beginning to end, over and over again with one meaning: that is his only precious daughter, and we must thank Wen Cheng for saving his life (?).

Wen Cheng was not a native of Yiling, so for such a powerful person, after many inquiries, he only got Wen Cheng's name and the fact that Wen Cheng bought wine from the old shop in Linquanfang from time to time.So, I gave instructions to the following, and only then did the scene just now happen.

"Business is a destiny, and it pays attention to the cycle of heaven! Since you, Boss Xiaowen, have appeared, it is absolutely impossible for me not to be a host to express my gratitude!" Li Zhiqing didn't give Wen Cheng a chance to refute at all: If you don't give face, you just talk to the old man. God can't make it through!

"Boss Li, I'm a junior, you can call me Xiaowen. Since you are so polite, Xiaowen, I'll be disrespectful..." Wen Cheng wanted to show no face, but would he still do business in the future? !I had no choice but to agree.It's hard to be polite, that's what I'm talking about!

"What a cheerful person!" Li Zhiqing slapped Wen Cheng on the shoulder, and Wen Cheng turned his head away. This slap gave her a wonderful expression.Wen Yi, who could see behind him, wanted to laugh but had to hold back.

In this way, a group of people walked towards the "first floor of Yiling" that Li Zhiqing said.

Finding a chance, Wen Yi lightly touched Wen Wencheng's elbow: "You really like saving people!" Seeing what he said, what does it mean? The tone is not yin or yang.

Wen Cheng rolled his eyes, making her agree, isn't it all a matter of trouble?Don't you want to die?However, it is also good to take this opportunity to deal with Boss Li, at least the supply of wine is more guaranteed.

In order not to be rude, Wen Cheng took two steps forward and heard Li Zhiqing giving instructions to shopkeeper Zhang: "Go and invite the young lady, saying that you have invited her savior, let her come here Here is a glass of thanks!"

Upon hearing this, for some reason, Wen Cheng was pushed back and fell behind again.

Wen Yi heard this clearly, seeing that Wen Cheng was "excited" like this, he said angrily: "Beautiful/lucky..."
