Chapter 182: Leaving the Son and Keeping the Mother



Sanyazi said this with a look of surprise, then took another big gulp, his face full of aftertaste.

He has been following Gu Hong for almost a year, and he had eaten a lot of delicious food when he was in Beijing a while ago.

Therefore, he was very sure that the wine brewed by Shen Ningsi was better than those paid as tribute by foreign countries.

"Really? Then we should give it a try too!"

After Liu Da and the others finished speaking, they also drank the wine in their glasses.

“It’s smooth and soft on the palate, without a hint of astringency, and has a light fragrance that leaves a lasting aftertaste.”

When Gu Hong finished saying this, there was a hint of surprise on his face.

When he first helped Ana Shen make wine, he didn't think much about it, as long as she was happy.

Unexpectedly, the final result was far beyond his expectations!

The wine brewed by Shen Ningsi is more than enough to be presented to the imperial palace as royal wine.

"Mom, this grape juice is so sweet! Yun'er can drink several bowls!"

At Shen Ningsi's table, Gu Yuner looked at her with satisfaction.

"Drinking grape juice is perfect in this weather, but don't overdo it. Eat more vegetables and rice."

Shen Ningsi finished speaking and filled her bowl again.

"Yun'er knows that you, my mother, are the best!" After saying this, Gu Yun'er held the bowl in her hand and refused to let go.

Hui Niang and her other children also love drinking wine, but they are much more shy than Gu Yun'er.

At this moment, they all lowered their heads and drank the grape juice in their bowls.

"Madam, this wine tastes really good. No wonder all the ladies in the city love it!"

Afang had a silly smile on her face.

"For women, drinking wine can promote blood circulation, slow down aging, regulate the stomach, relieve indigestion, loss of appetite, and even relieve constipation."

Shen Ningsi began to tell them the benefits of drinking wine.

She didn't mention anything about preventing cardiovascular disease or thrombosis.

Because none of this is easy to explain.

"I didn't expect this wine to have so many benefits!"

Not only Afang and Hui Niang, but even the men at the next table showed surprise on their faces.

"Just then, San Yazi brought over quite a bottle of wine. Each of you can take two jars and drink them slowly!"

Shen Ningsi said very generously.

"That won't do! We've all heard this wine is worth a fortune elsewhere!"

Hui Niang and others hurriedly shook their heads. They were not the kind of people who would take advantage of small gains.

"It's okay. These wines are all homemade. The reason why the wines from the Western Regions are so precious is that our Great Zhao is very far away from the Western Regions. The wines that can be transported here are very few, so they are extremely precious."

Shen Ningsi smiled, but the women at the table still had hesitant expressions on their faces.

"If you really feel guilty about taking it, why don't you all come and help me when I make wine next year?"

Shen Ningsi knew that these people were very kind and simple, and did not want to owe anyone anything.

"But……"

Hui Niang and the others were still hesitating.

"There's nothing to worry about. Didn't I just say that wine is very good for women? You are all the pillars of your families. Staying healthy is also a responsibility to your families."

Shen Ningsi's words seemed to touch their hearts.

"Ma'am, we'd be very grateful if you didn't agree. Next year when you make wine, we'll definitely come over and help you!"

Hui Niang had a hint of gratitude on her face, she knew that Shen Ningsi was doing this for their own good.

This is the kind of wine that only the ladies in the city can drink!

Not only did they get to drink today, but the general's wife also gave them a lot of gifts, which was something they had never dared to think about before.

"One or two small glasses of this wine a day will be enough."

After saying this, Ana Shen smiled and took a sip. The wine had been brewing for so many days but she had no time to taste it.

As soon as she took a sip of the wine, her eyes lit up.

Although it's not as delicious as those wines worth tens of thousands of dollars, it tastes very good.

"General, I didn't expect Madam to be so capable! I feel like there's almost nothing in this world she can't do!"

Sanyazi had no idea how much wine he had drunk. After saying this, he took another big gulp.

"Yes, the general's wife is truly an extraordinary woman! Only a woman like her is worthy of the general!"

Tang Haiyang and others also showed expressions of approval on their faces.

Gu Hong was naturally very happy when he heard others praising his wife.

But when he looked up and saw Sanyazi drinking wine as if it were water, he couldn't help but reach out his hand and slap him hard on the head.

"Damn it! Do you think this wine was blown here by the wind? Even drinking horse urine wouldn't be as impatient as you!"

Sanyazi, whose head was bruised after being hit, immediately showed an expression of grievance on his face.

"General, I've never tasted such delicious wine before, and I couldn't help myself for a moment. Besides, you don't usually let us drink!"

Although Sanyazi said this, his subsequent actions were much more polite.

Thinking that the general wouldn't let him drink, he turned around and secretly asked his wife for a few jars.

After being together for so long, he already knew Shen Ningsi very well, and he would definitely be able to succeed if he asked for a few jars of wine.

Thinking of this, his mood instantly became cheerful.

"Madam, An An and Kang Kang look like they should be one year old, right?"

At the women's table, Hui Niang looked at the two children walking back and forth in their walkers and couldn't help but ask.

The pink jade bracelet looked different from the ones her children had when they were young.

"Well, it will be their first birthday in two days. After welcoming you today, I will be busy in the next two days."

Shen Ningsi nodded.

She has been feeling uneasy these days, both excited and worried.

In the TV dramas she had watched before, the ladies from the aristocratic families looked down upon the country girls that their sons fell in love with.

There are many cases where even if they are pregnant with their own children, most of them will leave the mother and keep the child.

"It seems our timing is perfect. Madam, we'll go help you out in your yard tomorrow! I was the one who took care of everything for my children when they were one year old!"

Hui Niang and A Fang took the job on themselves on the spot. After listening to what they said, Shen Ningsi felt warm in her heart.

"No need for that. You've just arrived here and you're unfamiliar with the place, so just clean up the house in the next two days. You can just go out for dinner the day after tomorrow!"

"It's okay, this house is very clean, and we don't have much luggage, so we just need to clean up a little today!"

Fortunately, it is still autumn and the temperature at night is not too cold, so they just need to cover themselves with a thin blanket or clothes.

"Ma'am, please don't be so polite with us! We are used to doing chores at home anyway. Remember, we are a little uncomfortable after being idle for a while!"
