Wine is an indispensable part of social interaction, no matter in ancient times or now!
After a few drinks, Fan Tianning and Fu Xiaoguan became brothers.
As for how much truth there was in it, it was not important. What was important was that at least on the surface the distance between them had been shortened a lot, so they spoke more casually.
"Brother Fu, I'm wondering if you could consider expanding your Xishan Tianchun? There are many wine lovers in this world, but no one has yet been able to brew your wine. If you could set up more locations in Fan Country, it would be easy to make a fortune."
Wu Linger felt the same way and said, "It's the same thing. The price of Xishan Tianchun is getting higher and higher. It's already one or two thousand Wen on the market, and most people can't afford it. Even Xishan Xiangquan sells for one or two hundred or three hundred Wen, and it's also hard to find... Can you set up some winemaking workshops in Wu Dynasty? Don't worry, I'll be watching over it, and no one will dare to do anything bad."
Fu Xiaoguan had thought about this problem a long time ago, but he didn't have the conditions before. Now that Wu Linger brought it up, he could give it a try.
"To be honest, I came to Wuchao on official business for a literary gathering, and on personal business to expand business channels. I have more than just these two kinds of wine, I also have many other good things. Shulan will handle this matter specifically. You can discuss it in detail later. Her opinion is my opinion."
This sentence surprised Wu Linger and Fan Tianning. Nowadays, there are very few women who go out to do business. Those famous families are basically managed by men. It is rare for someone like Fu Xiaoguan to entrust such an important industry to a woman and trust her so much. However, it also shows that this beautiful woman named Dong Shulan is quite capable in business.
Wu Linger thought more than Fan Tianning. She looked at Dong Shulan and felt very envious.
When a woman gets married, she should take care of her husband and children. Dong Shulan is lucky that Fu Xiaoguan does not seem to have such an idea.
So she picked up the wine glass and raised it to Dong Shulan from a distance: "Sister, you must keep this matter in mind. When we get to Guanyun City, I will treat you to a cup of tea and we can talk in detail about this winery and his other things."
What Dong Shulan feared most was hearing a woman invite her for tea... She had just met Yan Xiaolou over the cup of tea, so could it be possible that Wu Ling'er would appear over this cup of tea from over three thousand miles away?
This is very possible!
She heard Wu Ling'er's words "I will support you" with her own ears tonight, and realized that the words were not false!
What's going on?
There are three of them!
But now she couldn't refuse. First, she couldn't offend Princess Taiping, and second, she needed to open up the market in the Wu Dynasty.
So even if she had to pinch her nose, she had to look happy and drink the wine!
"Thank you, sister. We want to expand our business in Wu Dynasty. The tentative location is Guanyun City. If you need any help from me in the future, please don't bother me."
"Sister, what are you talking about? I'm so happy, let's have a drink together!"
Yu Wenjun's eyes widened. How could this situation... become a situation of siblings? What was Shulan planning? It was impossible for her not to see Wu Ling'er's evil intentions. Had she already agreed to this?
It is very likely that Wu Ling'er is outstandingly beautiful and is the only princess of Emperor Wen. If one wants to conduct business smoothly in Guanyun City, with Wu Ling'er's care, business will naturally be much easier.
But is business really that important?
Just when Yu Wenjun was lost in thought, Wu Linger stood up and came to her side, filling a glass of wine for her, with a charming look on her face: "Sister, we should have a drink too."
The sweetness of her words made Yu Wenjun's heart tremble. She had no reason to refuse, so she picked up the cup and listened to Wu Ling'er say, "I've heard of Jinling's fame for a long time, and I've longed to go there. How about this? After the literary gathering is over and you sisters have arranged everything and are returning, I'd like to go with you, okay?"
This is asking for more!
Who do you, Wu Linger, want to travel with?
Yu Wenjun was immediately confused, thinking that this little girl was so meticulous and scary.
As a princess of the Wu Dynasty, you can't refuse when someone asks you, the princess of the Yu Dynasty, to visit Jinling City.
So Yu Wenjun could only force a smile, "If my sister wants to go to Jinling, it would be wonderful for us to go together. However... after returning to Jinling, he will leave again, and go to a remote place..."
"Sister, I'm just going to Jinling to take a look, not for... him."
As she said this, Wu Linger's charming eyes turned to Fu Xiaoguan, which made Fu Xiaoguan's heart tremble and he quickly looked away.
"Don't think too much, sister. Let's have a drink first. As for the rest... I'll treat you to tea when we get to Guanyun City."
It’s tea after all!
Yu Wenjun drank the glass of wine and thought that he would have to have a good discussion with Shulan in the evening.
Su Rou was still embroidering mandarin ducks. She raised her slender eyes, looked at Wu Ling'er, Dong Shulan, Yu Wenjun, and finally looked meaningfully at her junior sister Su Su.
Susu was gnawing on a chicken leg, enjoying herself very much.
Su Rou pouted. This girl only knew how to eat. By the time she gets the hang of it, I don’t know what place she will be in the queue!
Fan Tianning also extended an invitation to Fu Xiaoguan: "Brother Fu, if you have time after the literary gathering, I cordially invite you to visit Fan State. I believe we have many opportunities for cooperation. If this can be accomplished, it will be a mutually beneficial event for you and the Yu Dynasty, for me and the Fan State!"
This was something Fu Xiaoguan had not expected.
He had originally thought that promoting trade between nations would require immense effort, but now it seemed that it wasn't that difficult. He already knew Fan Tianning's identities: one was a princess, the other a prince, and they both represented the interests of their respective powerful people. This was the demand, and as long as they could achieve this demand and find a balance between the interests of both sides, the resistance to this matter would be much smaller.
So he raised his glass and said, "Brother Fan, your idea is in line with mine. When I return to the Yu Dynasty, I will report to His Majesty and find a time to visit Fan State and bother you."
Fan Tianning was overjoyed, raised his glass, and said with a smile: "Why bother you? Brother Fu, I will make a bed for you when you come!"
They had basically reached a verbal consensus on these two major issues, and they were happier with each other, their hearts were more open, and they drank quite a lot of wine.
There was only a withered cicada, and he seemed to be a real withered cicada.
The Prajna Zen stick was slung on his back. He looked straight ahead, only occasionally picking up a piece of vegetarian food with his chopsticks.
Yu Wenjun originally thought that he could drink quite well, but he didn't expect that Wu Ling'er opposite him seemed to get more and more excited the more she drank!
Wu Linger's eyes became brighter and brighter, and the two blushes on her face became more and more bright.
Only Dong Shulan drank so much but still looked normal.
As for Fu Xiaoguan, his eyes were slightly bloodshot, and he seemed to be a little drunk.
