Chapter 331: Conferred Lord



"Everyone, how does this wine taste?" Old Madam Shen took a sip from the cup and hummed. She was very satisfied with the wine. She put down the cup and looked around at everyone present. Seeing everyone's expressions after tasting the wine, she asked with a smile.

She looked up at her grandson standing in front of her and glanced at the lamp that her grandson had given her. She was also very satisfied with the lamp and knew the origin of the lamp. She glanced at the boy standing there with a calm face. The old lady was more satisfied with Cao Xiangnan. It would be nice if the boy could stay with her grandson.

"Good wine!"

"Good, good, good." Someone said good three times in a row.

The people around agreed, saying that the taste of this wine was better than the wine they had drunk before. Many people here were regular customers of Yipinzhai. Some people took a sip and tasted that this was the red wine from Yipinzhai last year. They couldn't buy the wine from Yipinzhai last year even if they paid money. Only those who were lucky enough could grab a small bottle. But compared with the wine from Old Lady Shen, the taste was far worse, and it was far worse than what they tasted today.

Seeing Fang the shopkeeper standing here, the old men present thought that Fang the shopkeeper had hidden good wine in his hands and didn't let them take it out, and ignored what Young Master Shen said just now that this was a gift from the boy next to him to the old lady.

"It's rare that you all say it's good. It looks like this wine is really good." Old Madam Shen nodded with satisfaction, looked at the boy next to her, and asked, "Xiangnan, tell me, what's special about your wine?"

"Madam, this wine has many special features. First of all, it smells mellow and tastes sweet, which makes people have an endless aftertaste." Cao Xiangnan stepped forward, stood in front of the old man and said calmly, "Another special feature is that this wine has a nourishing effect. Drinking a small amount every day can prevent aging and prolong life."

He remembered that drinking wine has many benefits for the human body. Wine contains some elements needed by the human body, and can also effectively prevent the occurrence of some diseases. It is indeed of great help to the human body. However, these things are too profound for others to understand. The simplest and clearest thing is that it can prolong life. I am afraid this is what everyone pursues.

"Oh, it can also prevent aging and prolong life. It seems that I have to drink more." It was the first time that Old Lady Shen heard that this wine had such benefits. She widened her eyes and was slightly surprised.

"Xiangnan dare not deceive the old lady, and all the old men and ladies present. This wine does have such benefits. But be careful not to drink too much. No matter how good the food is, it will be difficult to digest if you eat too much." Cao Xiangnan didn't believe that the fish was not hooked. The red wine they brewed this year has not yet started to be sold. After visiting this old lady, he can foresee that this year's red wine will definitely sell better than last year.

Fortunately, he had foresight and asked Shen Zhengyang to invest in the winery in Nanyang. Now he borrowed Shen Zhengyang's influence to advertise the red wine they were about to launch, which was something that could not be bought with any amount of money.

"Does this wine have such benefits?"

"Boy, this wine really has the benefits of prolonging life?"

When these old men heard this, they were shocked. This small glass of wine has such great benefits? Just now they looked down on such a boy in ordinary clothes, but now they heard him introduce that drinking this wine can prolong life, and their attitudes changed one after another.

Cao Xiangnan answered these questions patiently, neither hurriedly nor slowly, neither humble nor arrogant.

Qi Wanfeng, who was standing at the back, looked straight at his husband. It was the first time he saw his husband like this. The smile on his face and the curve of his mouth were all very pleasant. He was completely different from the husband he knew. However, no matter whether it was the husband he knew or the one he saw in front of him, he was deeply fascinated by him.

As if he noticed the gaze behind him, Cao Xiangnan turned slightly and turned his head to meet the pair of eyes that were looking at him. When their eyes met, he smiled and blinked at the person looking at him.

Puff - this was the appearance of the husband he was familiar with. Qi Wanfeng returned a look to his husband in annoyance.

The two of them exchanged glances without paying attention to the people around them. The old lady saw their little movements. When she saw her brother standing behind with a child in his arms, she looked around and her eyes fell on the fat boy in his arms. Then she looked at her grandson and sighed.

When will he be able to hold his little great-grandson?

The old lady had the same idea as Shen Mu, who followed her. She wondered when her son would be willing to marry and give him a grandson. Her brother had looked at several families, but his son didn't like any of them. His uncle in the palace said he would help his son Yang find a girl, but he hasn't heard back yet. He didn't know how to deal with his son's marriage.

Cao Xiangnan was invited to sit next to Young Master Shen Zhengyang. Before he sat down, he did not forget to help Wanfeng sit down first, and then he sat down. Lele found a comfortable position in his mother's arms and closed his eyes.

The play on the stage about Monkey King making trouble in the Heavenly Palace was over, and Old Lady Shen suddenly asked, "Do you know who wrote this "Journey to the West"?"

This...

Isn't it from Mr. Liu? If it's not Mr. Liu, they really don't know.

After hearing what the old lady said, the old men and ladies present all shook their heads. Seeing the old lady's expression, did the old lady know?

"This play is over, let's move to the front yard to have a drink." Old Lady Shen smiled but did not satisfy everyone's curiosity. The topic ended here. Seeing his grandmother trying to stand up, Shen Zhengyang quickly reached out to help his grandmother up, and Shen's mother beside him also reached out to help.

The group walked towards the front yard, and behind the old lady were the people following.

Cao Xiangnan followed behind, and thought that the old lady would expose his secrets, but fortunately the old lady was just joking with him. However, this matter is not a bad thing, even if it is known by others, it is not a big deal. He started to remain anonymous just to avoid trouble.

Even he himself did not expect that a "Journey to the West" would be loved by everyone to this extent. Even Old Lady Shen is his loyal fan. No wonder he found that Old Lady Shen's attitude towards him has changed so much.

"Husband." Qi Wanfeng called him "Husband" in a low voice. He naturally knew who wrote "Journey to the West". Husband wrote this story under the lamp every night. The children at home loved their father telling them stories.

At this time, a convoy of cars entered the gate of Nanyang City and went into the city.

"Hurry up, hurry up, if you are late and the higher-ups blame you, we will only hold you responsible!" The curtain was lifted, and a pale hand stretched out. The person inside was not seen, and a sharp voice came out.

There were stalls on both sides of the street, and people came and went, blocking the street, and the horses and carriages inside could not move. This place is not like Fengdu, where people on the street would immediately dodge when they saw carriages and horses, knowing that the people inside were either rich or noble. The carriages and horses from Nanyang would not dare to run rampant on the streets, but would slowly pass through the streets to exit, and people would not immediately dodge when they saw carriages and horses coming.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way!"

Those who couldn't wait any longer ordered their guards to clear the way. The two teams of guards with swords got off their horses and forcibly cleared a path.

The guards driving the carriages whipped the horses' buttocks with whips in their hands. The middle carriage ran out, followed by the team of carriages full of things.

Seeing the carriages and the guards with swords leaving, the people gathered in groups of three or four and pointed at the departing carriages and horses. They didn't know where the carriages and horses came from, but when they saw that the momentum was not something that ordinary people like them could cause, they all stopped talking, but they couldn't hide their curiosity in their hearts.

The street returned to its original bustling state. The pedestrians blocked the street. The carriages behind could only pass slowly. "The imperial edict has arrived!" The shouting stunned the visitors in the mansion. They couldn't believe that there would be an imperial edict coming to the Shen Mansion. After the voice fell, a team of guards entered the Shen Mansion first, followed by the palace maids in palace dresses and pale faces, who walked into the gate of the Shen Mansion.

"Old Madam Shen, receive the edict..." the palace maids shouted.

"Old Madam, there is an edict from the palace. You are asked to go and receive it." The servants in the mansion ran into the house in a panic and ran to their old lady and said.

An edict from the palace? Old Madam Shen's heart skipped a beat, and she subconsciously looked at her daughter-in-law and grandson who were sitting beside her. The three of them looked at each other, and they didn't know why the imperial edict came from the palace. The old lady subconsciously worried that something had happened to her brother in the palace.

"Let's go out and take a look." Old Madam Shen said. The imperial edict came from the palace, and if they didn't accept it, they would be beheaded. With a wave of her hand, Old Madam Shen stood up with the help of the people around her, and led everyone out.

"Ms. Shen accepts the imperial edict.

" "Long live the emperor..." "

By the will of Heaven, the Emperor proclaims: Ms. Shen is knowledgeable in literature and etiquette, intelligent and agile... She is hereby canonized as a first-rank lady, and rewarded with a thousand taels of gold, a hundred acres of land, a hundred pieces of brocade, a set of jade... as a gift."

"Long live the emperor..."

After the palace attendant finished reading the imperial edict, he personally handed it to the old lady's hand, hurried over to help her up, and said with a smile, "Old lady, before we came here, Lord Shen specifically instructed us to ask on his behalf whether you are in good health."

Knowing that this person is Lord Shen's mother, given how favored Lord Shen is in the palace, he dared not offend him. It was his honor to come to Nanyang today to announce the imperial edict.

"Okay, okay, please tell your Excellency that I am fine." Old Lady Shen held the imperial edict in her hand and shed two lines of tears. She wiped her tears and said, "Thank you for coming here from a thousand miles away. Please come to my room."

The group went into the house, and the people behind them stood up one by one.
