The spring breeze is proud to enter the treasure building

Lantian Town is a quiet small town in the south of the Yangtze River, only ten miles away from the bustling Hangzhou.

On the fifth day of every month, villagers would shake cocoons and tea leaves to the city along the waterway in black-covered boats, and when they came back in exchange for silver, they would drink a pot of wine at the wine shop under the Shili Bridge.If you have time, you will order a plate of peanuts, sit in the store, and gossip about a few homely things in the sun.

The wine shop has no name, and the manager of the wine shop has a scar on his face. He looks a bit scary, but he has a kind smile and understands the local customs, making it quite interesting to chat with.

There are two guys in the wine shop, the big guy doesn't smile very much, but the villagers who know him well know that he has a good temper, if they encounter him collecting money, they don't ask for a change, which is quite different from the shrewd shopkeeper.The little guy is still a half-grown child, a little crazy, and he can't stop laughing when he talks about something.

Lantian Town is not far from Hangzhou, and it is springtime, so sometimes relatives of dignitaries and dignitaries come to visit.

A carriage with light gauze curtains, pulled by a horse with flying black mane and only four hooves like white clouds, stepped on the loess and stopped in front of the wine shop.

"Let's rest here." A woman's voice came from the car.

Shu Qingxiu heard the sound and looked out the door. Although he hadn't seen the person's face yet, he just heard the clear and gentle voice with a bit of decisive heroism, and then saw that the horse was actually a dark cloud riding snow. extraordinary.

He, Sun Sheng and Shu Xiaoyun lived in seclusion here, and they had lived a peaceful life for more than half a year. They felt that the years were sweet and long. Now when they saw this unidentified woman, they frowned.

While she was thinking, the woman had already entered the store, she was wearing a soft hat, her face was hidden in the hanging black veil, only her jade-like chin was exposed.

She also held a newborn baby in her arms.

The woman sat down at the table, "Shopkeeper, bring a jug of good wine, not too strong."

Shu Qingxiu picked up a pot of sweet-scented osmanthus wine and put it on the tray, walked towards the woman, put down the wine, cups, plates and chopsticks, and said with a smile, "Guests, take it easy."

The woman poured the wine into the cup, untied the baby's hood, and fed it with wine.

The baby was white and tender, with a small ball-like hand holding the woman's sleeve, drinking happily, but felt that the woman was slow to feed, and made an urging sound from her mouth.

Seeing that it was funny, Shu Xiaoyun laughed too, reaching out to hug the baby, "I'll feed it."

His hand was barely touching the baby, but there was already a flash of a knife in front of him. It turned out that the driver who was waiting behind the woman suddenly pulled out the knife.

Shu Qingxiu's heart felt cold, but how could he get past this saber light so quickly.

The light of the knife was cut off suddenly, and a thin porcelain cup hit the knife, but the knife broke and the cup shattered in an instant.

Shu Xiaoyun was frightened by the light of the knife, she flattened her mouth in fear and started to cry.

The baby's black eyes rolled around him, but it seemed to see something very interesting, and it opened its mouth and laughed.

At present, the two children cry and laugh, both of them are still childish, and they complement each other.

The woman threw the cup and broke the knife, but her voice was frosty, "Zhu Si, I told you not to draw the knife in front of me, are you going to scare Qi'er?"

Zhu Si knelt down on one knee, "I was ordered by... Lord to protect my wife and young master well."

The woman snorted coldly, "In your eyes, only his words count. It doesn't really matter what I say."

Although Zhu Si was courteous enough, there was not much respect in his words, "Madam, since you are with me, you should put your husband first. If Madam is willing to listen to Zhu Si's persuasion, please go back early."

The woman said coldly, "You are waiting for me in the car."

Zhu Si was silent for a moment and said, "Yes."

Although Sun Sheng lost an arm, his eyesight remained intact. Although Zhu Si had only one move, he was not much worse than when he was in his heyday. For some reason, he became a servant of others.

This woman's ability to throw a cup and break a knife is not to be underestimated.

Shu Qingxiu and Sun Sheng exchanged glances, Sun Sheng understood, and pulled Shu Xiaoyun back.

Although Zhu Si had withdrawn, the woman's hand holding the baby was still trembling, obviously her mood had not calmed down.

"Ma'am, the baby is too young to drink alcohol, it's better to have a cup of warm tea."

Shu Qingxiu took a pot of warm tea and put it in front of the woman with a smile.

The woman's eyes suddenly turned sharp, "Why can't you drink alcohol, even you have to take care of me?"

Shu Qingxiu was not angry, but just smiled.

The woman caressed the baby's pink cheeks, as if talking to him, or whispering to the baby, "I joined the army with my father when I was young, and I was surrounded by Beiyan many times. The water source was cut off, and I only had a few jugs of wine with me. My father let me drink alcohol. He told me that the children of the Ling family grow up on the battlefield, drinking is like drinking water, and in the future they will not be afraid of swords and swords."

This masked woman is Su Muhua's sworn sister, General Ling's daughter, and now the Crown Princess, Ling Guhong.

Seeing her wipe the baby's forehead with her hand, Shu Qingxiu felt a sense of pity, not disregarding the baby's mother, so he smiled and said, "Mrs. It's too early to drink with him."

"Is it early?" Ling Guhong shook her head, with a faintly wry smile on her face.The baby in her arms tugged at her sleeve like some very interesting toy, giggling uncontrollably.The woman gently caressed his cotton-like face, and said softly, "Is it early? It's a pity I can't wait for that day."

Hearing the ominous meaning in her words, Shu Qingxiu was slightly surprised, not knowing why this rich woman was so sad.He opened the door to do business, so he naturally had to say a few auspicious words, "Madam, auspicious people have their own appearance, so why worry too much."

Ling Guhong said, "I usually stay at home, and no one talks to me. If the shopkeeper doesn't mind, can I sit down and have a drink?"

Shu Qingxiu agreed and poured wine for the two of them.

Ling Guhong took tea and fed it to the baby, and the baby spat it out, and danced his hands in the air a few times angrily as if in protest.

Shu Qingxiu laughed and said, "I forgot that children don't like bitter taste."

He got up and went to the cabinet to make a cup of sugar water, and Ling Guhong handed the child to him, "Thank you, shopkeeper."

The child was not afraid of life, so he let him hold him, drinking with Shu Qingxiu's hand and smiling happily.

"I'm afraid the shopkeeper has more than a dozen children, right?"

Shu Qingxiu knew she had misunderstood, and said, "Xiaoyun is not my child, but my younger brother."

"You are very kind to your brother."

Shu Qingxiu smiled and said, "We are brothers after all. Does Madam have siblings?"

"I used to have a younger brother, but later... killed for my brother-in-law."

"This..."

"I don't hate him."

"Oh?"

"The person I should hate is not my righteous brother, but I just can't hate that person."

Shu Qingxiu knew that he had a deep conversation with this woman. Perhaps only in such an afternoon, in front of a stranger like him, could this woman express her thoughts.

How could he bear to wake her up?

Ling Guhong was silent for a moment, and when she spoke again, her voice was a bit hoarse, "Shopkeeper, do you have any children?"

Shu Qingxiu didn't know if the woman under the masked black veil shed tears.Answered, "Never."

"May I ask the shopkeeper how expensive you are this year?"

Shu Qingxiu responded, "Thirty."

"Why aren't you married at thirty?"

She asked abruptly, but Shu Qingxiu smiled slightly and said, "I can't have my own children with the person I care about."

Ling Guhong apologized, and Shu Qingxiu smiled, "Ma'am, don't worry, if I and him are in love, it will be more worthwhile than anything else."

"Is it worth it?" Ling Guhong seemed to be touched by his words, sighed quietly and drank the wine in the glass.He stood up and called out the door, "Zhu Si."

Zhu Si didn't go far, and when he heard the sound came in, he lowered his hands and said, "Ma'am."

Ling Guhong took the baby back from Shu Qingxiu's hand, and ordered, "Let's go back."

Zhu's four eyes turned joyful, and in response, he took out an ingot of silver from his sleeve and handed it to Shu Qingxiu.

Ling Guhong didn't look back, boarded the car and left.

"What?" Sun Sheng saw Shu Qingxiu standing by the door, looking in the direction the carriage was leaving, holding a silver ingot in his hand.

Shu Qingxiu waved the silver in front of him, and said in a low voice, "What do you see?"

Sun Sheng said with a smile, "You can get a silver coin for a pot of wine. Shopkeeper Shu is more skillful in doing business. I wonder if you can kill a chicken for me tonight?"

This is a common thing. These days, if Shu Qingxiu is in a good mood, he will cook a chicken, stew a hoof, stir-fry some vegetables, warm a pot of wine, and eat with Sun Sheng and Shu Xiaoyun in the back garden. last meal.

Most of the food went into Shu Xiaoyun's stomach, so Shu Qingxiu only made it according to Shu Xiaoyun's taste.

Sun Sheng didn't mind, he just drank, and after Shu Qingxiu cleaned up the dishes, he settled Shu Xiaoyun to sleep.

If you drag someone into the room again, you will have to pay compensation.

At this moment, he just kept his voice down, Shu Qingxiu's thoughts inevitably wandered, the two of them hadn't been close for several days, and this time, Qi Nian felt a little emotional all his life.

Sun Sheng took his hand and sniffed it closer, "For the sake of this ingot of snowflake silver, why don't you take the initiative to try it tonight...Holding the moon in your arms, how about it?"

Shu Qingxiu leaned very close to him, thinking of the way this person teased him, his body became slightly hot, and his cheeks were already flushed.

Sun Sheng and him have had skin-to-skin contact many times, but they have never seen him so shy and angry, and they are so infatuated.

Shu Qingxiu shook hands for him, and said in a low voice, "Sun Cheng, are you stupid for soaking in the jug? Look at the money."

While Sun Sheng was chatting and joking with him, he had already seen clearly that the ingot of silver was a little brighter than usual.The silver that has been circulated among the people has been used repeatedly, and it is more or less black.Not to mention some profiteers who raised their heads melted silver ingots at high temperature, and then mixed with other things, the natural color would not be so bright.

Sun Sheng spent most of his life in fighting and killing, and his mind was not on these things on weekdays.But Shu Qingxiu was born in a low class, used to traveling all over the world, and was even taken into the palace of a prince to be a concubine, so he could tell the difference at first sight.

Holding the ingot of silver in his hand, he said, "Only the newly used silver, or... the silver that just came out of the inner treasury can have such a luster."

Listening to him, Sun Sheng nodded and said, "I was once rewarded with silver by the King of Yan. It is indeed such a luster. The woman's bodyguard is named Zhu, and Zhu is the country's surname. Changed his surname. What's more, he is called Zhu Si, which seems to be a name given to someone. I am afraid that there is only one in the world who can give a name to a person with a country's surname..."

Shu Qingxiu looked up at him and said, "Is it..."

Sun Sheng clenched his hand and said, "Thinking about something randomly, I agree with you, and I will retire with you. Even if King Yan arrives in Hangzhou, I will not go to see him."

After he finished his not-so-sweet love words, he called out with a straight face, "Shu Xiaoyun!"

Shu Xiaoyun poked his head out from behind the counter and replied, "Yes, Brother Sun."

Sun Sheng patted his big head, which was shaved so that only a ring of green skin remained, and said, "Go to the backyard and grab a chicken. Your brother is going to cook something delicious for us tonight."

Shu Xiaoyun cheered and jumped off the counter.

Not long after, there was a rooster crowing in the backyard, Shu Qingxiu looked at the window, saw that Shu Xiaoyun was not wearing shoes, and chased the big rooster he had loved for a long time to run around the yard.

His eyes turned slightly, and he squinted at Sun Sheng with anger and resentment, "You know you're used to him."

In the past in the Liyuan, Shu Qingxiu was most famous for his eyes, painted with heavy makeup, just such a light glance, full of affection.

"I..." Although Sun Sheng could say something like hugging the moon in his arms without changing his expression, if he was asked to say a few soft words, it would be like killing him with a knife.

Fortunately, a few people dressed as sour scholars came into the store at this moment.

"Dude, here is a pot of Nurhong. It needs to be aged. Brother Zhang, this wine must get better and better with age."

Sun Sheng complied, and went with the wine.

Even if the 18-year-old daughter Hong is available, it is not easy to sell it.The one was buried under the tree, and he and Shu Qingxiu dug it out on a windy or moony day, opened an altar, and drank slowly.

The pot of Nurhong on the tray is also ten years old, which can be regarded as a conscience in wineries under the sun.

Whether in Saibei or Jiangnan, Shu Qingxiu's wine shop has always had a good reputation.

The warm afternoon sun shines on half the room——

Shu Qingxiu smiled and slapped away the seal of a jar of wine.

Sun Sheng rolled up the sleeves of his coarse clothes to his elbows, and placed the wine jug on the tray on the table in front of the guests.

Shu Xiaoyun in the backyard had already grabbed the big rooster, was riding on the rooster, twisted the rooster's wings and lifted it up.

The aroma of wine filled the small wine shop, and the flowers were blooming everywhere. Shu Qingxiu thought that there was such a person to drink a pot of Nurhong with him.
