Chapter 57: Good Wine Goes with a Hero
Jiusu raised an eyebrow, "Then don't bother with that. After all, I'm not as rich as the third sister."
"You!" Bai Luoxue was so angry that she felt a headache and fell backwards.
Fang Fei held him up and scolded him, "Jiu Su, how dare you contradict my young lady? Believe it or not, the general will come back and kill you!"
At this time, Chen Nan came over and saw Jiusu. He greeted her and then bowed to Bai Luoxue and said, "Why are you so pale? Are you feeling unwell? I'll take you to the clinic."
Fang Fei complained: "Chen Xianfeng, Jiusu, that bitch, insulted the young lady. You should tie her up and vent the anger for the young lady and the general."
"I'm afraid... I can't do that." Chen Nan said in embarrassment, "The general has ordered that no one can bully Jiusu. After the divorce, the general will be sorry for her."
The hatred in Bai Luoxue's heart grew even stronger.
Why are all of you siding with this bitch?
She was afraid of arousing Chen Nan's suspicion, so she whispered, "Help me go back. I feel a little uncomfortable, sister. I will come to see you another day."
However, the day for Chen Zhao to return is getting closer and closer, and there are not many days left for him to get close to Jiang Jing. As long as he can get Jiang Jing, he will pay any price. Since he cannot take action against Jiang Jing, he will start from his family.
Mother Jiang sighed, "Why is this child so stubborn?"
Jiang Nianyin was afraid that Jiusu would be unhappy, so she took the initiative to hold her arm and spoke affectionately.
"Susu, shall we go shopping tomorrow?"
Jiusu readily agreed, "Okay, I'm going out tomorrow to look for some suitable businesses to cooperate with. Besides, winter is coming soon, and I just want to buy some cotton clothes."
midnight.
It had just started to rain heavily in Lingcheng. Du Chenchen hurried to find an inn, but saw a man and a woman walking out of a brothel. He frowned slightly and muttered, "They're not good people. My father told me to stay away from them if I see them."
Early in the morning, Du Chenchen went to see the prefect.
The prefect was just worrying about what gifts to give when he heard that the Du family had arrived. He said, "Mr. Du, look, the table is full of wine. If you bring more wine, I will have a headache."
If something is not new, no one will remember it no matter how expensive it is.
Du Chenchen unwrapped the package and said, "Sir, I did bring some wine, but it's not just any wine. It's a type of wine my father recently discovered. I'm presenting these two bottles to you, Sir."
Originally, the prefect wanted to push it away, but he saw the unique packaging.
"It looks quite novel. Open it and let me taste it."
"Yes." Du Chenchen carefully opened it. Even the slightest movement broke out in a sweat. He poured it into the porcelain cup, and the mellow purple wine rippled in the cup, emitting bursts of fragrance. "Sir, please drink slowly and savor it carefully."
I have seen a lot of white wine and rice wine, but this is the first time I have seen purple one.
The prefect became interested and took a sip. "Not bad, not bad. Pour me another glass."
After three cups in a row, I finally felt slightly satisfied.
"It has a rich flavor, a long aftertaste, and just the right amount of sweetness. It's delicious! Master Du, you're truly my lucky star. The general will be here soon. Please introduce him to me."
Du Chenchen bowed, "It's my honor."
Soon, Chen Zhao arrived.
Du Chenchen took a look and realized that this was the man who had been fooling around outside last night. His heart sank, but he still knelt on the ground respectfully and saluted. Chen Zhao said calmly, "Get up."
The prefect was already prepared.
He poured the wine into a small bottle and said, "General, please try this wine. How is it?"
"What is this?" Chen Zhao yawned. He had been drinking too much recently, but after taking a sip of the purple wine, he perked up. "It tastes good."
The prefect smiled and said, "General, you have a good eye. This is a wine that hasn't spread all over the world yet. I searched for a long time and finally found a bottle. Oh, what you are drinking now is a sample. The gift box next to it is for you. Please accept it."
Chen Zhaowang looked over and liked it immediately.
"How can this general take away someone's beloved? It's too precious."
"You defend our country, and I admire you. Good wine goes well with heroes, and this wine is worth it." The prefect gave a thumbs-up and continued to flatter him. "My dear Du, please tell the general about this wine."
Du Chenchen bowed deeply. This person should be General Chen.
Defending the country, my impression of him has improved a lot.
"Yes, this wine is called grape wine. It's produced in Suming County and is made from grapes. It has many benefits. It uses healthy ingredients, increases appetite, nourishes the body, and can also beautify the skin."
Phew, that should be correct.
I recited it several times on the way according to what Miss Jiu said.
The prefect immediately said, "So this wine and the general are from the same place. Suming County is truly a place where hidden dragons and crouching tigers are everywhere. I think it must be the general's appearance that has made these ordinary things shine."
Du Chenchen: “…”
He disagreed, saying that the wine had clearly come out first and they had tasted it for several days before the general came back.
"Your Excellency, the Prefect, is too kind." Chen Zhao asked curiously, "Whose wine is this? How come I have never heard of it?"
Du Chenchen hesitated for a few seconds, forgetting to ask Miss Jiu if she could tell him the address. Suddenly, he thought that Mr. Jiang was so cautious because he was on guard against others. No, he couldn't tell her. He said politely, "My father didn't tell me."
Chen Zhao waved his hand, "No problem, when I get back, I'll personally arrange it and see who made such a good drink."
After the greetings, Chen Zhaohe and the prefect started a discussion over a small bottle of red wine.
The prefect felt very distressed, but in order to please the general, he could only watch. Fortunately, he had put it away in advance and he still had a big bottle.
After lunch, the rain finally stopped.
The best clothing store in Suming County is undoubtedly Xiumian Pavilion, which is also the owner of Jiang Jiaxiu Handkerchief. Jiang Nianyin is very familiar with the female shopkeeper. She asked, "Sister Ying, do you have the latest clothes?"
"Yes, a new batch has arrived." Xiuying said eagerly, "You finally thought of buying something new."
Jiang Nianyin blushed and pushed Jiusu forward, "Sister Ying, you misunderstood. Miss Susu, it's not me."
Xiuying looked her up and down, and suddenly she remembered that the general's wife before her was also called Su. Could this person be Su? She asked, "Is that so? What should I call you, young lady?"
Jiusu realized that the female shopkeeper had no ill intentions and said generously.
"Jiusu."
Huh, that’s true. But rumor has it that the two have already divorced, and it was the girl in front of me who took the initiative to propose it. Well, the girl is already married, so why should he stay at home and suffer?
Xiuying thought about it and felt a little more admiration.
"The clothes are upstairs, please follow me."
Jiang Nianyin was short of money, so she rubbed her hands and said, "Susu, I won't go up. I'll take a look at the fabric below."
"Okay." Jiusu didn't force her. After she memorized Jiang Nianyin's figure, she followed Xiuying upstairs. The shop had three floors, fabrics on the first floor, ready-made clothes on the second floor, and it was unknown what the third floor was used for, perhaps to entertain VIPs.
The fabric was also very expensive, and Jiang Nianyin lost the desire to continue looking.
I chatted with the needlework woman I knew at Xiumian Pavilion. "Well, I no longer make money by showing handkerchiefs. I've become a farmhand somewhere else...hiss, it hurts."
The female worker was startled, "Nian Yin, be careful."
Just in time, Jiang Nianyin was bumped.
Fang Fei hurriedly said, "Miss Jiang, I'm sorry. I was so busy helping the young lady that I forgot to look at the road. I hope I didn't hurt you. Otherwise, I'll compensate you with some money. If it hurts a lot, you can go to the hospital to see a doctor."
