126. Fucheng send wine to
Mr. Zheng Er is now highly valued by the Empress Dowager, and he has been stably calm and has not joined any cliques when ministers in the court have formed gangs... Jiang Zhen and Zheng Yi both knew that if he had prepared for a long time, he would definitely find a suitable person to take over Hongjiang Salt Field.
However, Jiang Zhen was not very good at these things, so he didn't say much.
After Zheng Yi and Jiang Zhen talked about the Hongjiang Salt Field, they told Chen Anxin about the matter: "The person who bribed the Jiang family was Chen Anxin."
"Is it him?" Jiang Zhen was shocked. He had never seen him again after Chen Anxin confessed his love last time. He really didn't expect that this person would even make such a comeback.
"Feng Jingyuan should have been inserted into it." Zheng Yi said again. He was very angry when he first learned about the news. He didn't say anything, but in fact he had made up his mind to teach Chen Anxin some lessons in private, but later...
Seeing Feng Jingyuan and Shen Anxin fighting later, Chen Anxin refused to say anything that was obviously in a wrong state, he guessed something.
After guessing it, it was hard to do anything to Chen Anxin. Of course, it would be impossible to ask him to continue to cooperate with Shen Anxin.
Jiang Zhen has been thinking about his future these days, and he has almost forgotten about this matter. After hearing Zheng Yi say this, he thought for a while and agreed with Zheng Yi's approach.
Now, he doesn't want to have contact with Shen Anxin at all, nor does he want to dig deep into why he did this.
"There are also those people from the Jiang family... There are many people watching you now. You can't do anything to them, but you can change a village and let them live far away from you." Zheng Yi said again.
Jiang Chengxiang and Jiang Chengcai were taken to interrogate by him before, but he could not hold people all the time, and he would always let them go.
At first, he wanted to send people away from afar, but who knew if someone would make a fuss about them? After thinking about it, he felt that it would be better to find another village near Hecheng County to settle them and keep the people in a close position.
"Let's send it to Qiaotou Village." Jiang Zhen said that the staff under his command, except Hexi Village, are the most crowded in Qiaotou Village. He naturally can keep a close eye on the Jiang family when he goes to Qiaotou Village.
"Then do it." Zheng Yi said, and decided on the matter directly, and immediately ordered someone to do it.
After solving the subsequent events caused by Zhou Maohe's sudden arrival this time, Zheng Yi talked to Jiang Zhen about the construction of Qingfeng Building in the Fucheng, and also mentioned the distilled liquor mentioned before.
The Zheng family has a special winemaking workshop. After Zheng Yi mentioned it to the craftsmen in the workshop, the craftsmen started to work hard. Now, they have created some distilled liquor.
"The wine distilled according to the method you said is indeed very mellow and has a very good taste. It only takes a lot of wine to distillate a small jar. The food consumed by this wine is really amazing." Zheng Yi sighed softly when he thought of the wine.
Wine is indeed a good wine, but if this method is spread, everyone will make this kind of wine... the food consumed will be too large.
Nowadays, many people in Daqi are not full. If this wine is spread, the court will definitely promulgate the alcohol ban.
"This is the secret recipe of Qingfenglou. It must be kept secret. There are also these wines that we will sell in limited quantities every day, not much." Jiang Zhen said: "Before this, we will give some to the Empress Dowager first."
Although the Queen Mother probably doesn’t have a good drink, it is still necessary to give some to her boss and flatter her boss if she has good things.
"You actually know this?" Zheng Yi looked at Jiang Zhen in surprise. He always thought that Jiang Zhen did not know these twists and turns in the officialdom.
"I know everything I should know, but I'm not used to doing this." Jiang Zhen said. He knew many routines. He didn't think about it before, but it was just impatient.
Zheng Yi and Jiang Zhen talked for a long time until it was almost dark. Finally, the talk was almost done. After looking at the sky, Zheng Yi simply asked someone to go back to report the news, saying that he was going to live here.
"Wait," the servant who reported the news was about to leave, but Zheng Yi suddenly stopped him: "You go to find your wife after you return home and ask her if she wants, she might as well bring her children to Hexi Village for a trip tomorrow."
"Yes, young master." The servant responded and left immediately.
There were many empty houses in the Zhao family, and Jiang Zhen quickly asked someone to help Zheng Yi clean up one.
Jiang Zhen built these houses very neatly and looked unnew and ordinary, but because he was willing to use bricks to build the walls very thick, it was very warm, warm in winter and cool in summer, and it was still very comfortable to live in.
Zheng Yi disliked the decorations in the room, but after going to bed, he slept very well and even overslept. Finally, the sound of drilling near the dock woke him up, and he got up from the bed.
The Zhao family had already gotten up and went out, but Li and Ruoer had been waiting for him to get up, and prepared a hot and fragrant breakfast for him and the few people who served him.
There are two notes for breakfast, one is fried bread, the other is white rice porridge. In addition, there are seven or eight side dishes such as fried peanuts and pickled radish.
Zheng Yi was extremely satisfied with the food, and in the end he ate almost all of these things. After eating, he took a freshly fried dough stick, then took the people and walked leisurely to the dock.
At this moment, it was not long before dawn, but the people from the Jin Zhen escort agency were already busy. However, although they were busy, everything seemed in order. Zheng Yi felt relaxed and happy when he watched them come and go.
The school has not opened yet, but there are already many children playing nearby, and some people have taken pens and written and painted on the ground.
When Zhao Jinge taught those girls and Shuang'er to read, he told a joke that Jiang Zhen told him. At this moment, the girls were proudly telling the joke to some boys: "There was a person who used to send him to school. On the first day, the teacher taught him 'one', the teacher taught him 'two' on the second day, and the teacher taught him 'three' on the third day. Then, he was unwilling to go to school again and told his parents that he had learned it. Later, his father wanted to invite a man named Wan to dinner at home and asked him to write an invitation. As a result, he didn't write it well after writing for three days... His father was very surprised. When he asked him, he complained, saying that the name of this person was too difficult. He wrote it for three days, but he had not yet drawn ten thousand words."
The children laughed and Zheng Yi was also happy.
Jiang Zhen trained his men during the day and handled some affairs at the dock. When he came back, he saw Zheng Yi lying on a bamboo recliner, with his legs lying around him, and a circle of children were telling stories to others.
Zheng Yi has been studying, has extensive knowledge and good eloquence. After several stories, the children were fascinated by them, and they all looked at him with admiration.
"It's time to go to class." Jiang Zhen looked at the time and said to the children, then saw that all the children ran away quickly.
"These children look very afraid of you." Zheng Yi smiled when he saw this.
If they were not afraid of themselves, they would blame them. When they fought before, these children had come to watch... Jiang Zhen responded casually and said, "Your Madam Zheng is here."
The boat of Mrs. Zheng had already docked on his pier.
Upon hearing this, Zheng Yi immediately stood up from the recliner and sorted out his clothes: "Let's go, come with me to pick up your sister-in-law!"
Zheng Yi is actually not much older than Jiang Zhen. The two are only one or two years apart, but Zheng Yi got married early, and the eldest son is seven years old now. In addition to the eldest son, he also has a son and a daughter. His daughter is four years old this year and his youngest son is two years old.
These three children were all born to Zheng Yi's wife, Zheng Hu. This time, when he came to Hexi Village, Zheng Hu brought all three children...
There were already many servants in the Zheng family. This time, the three little masters went out together, and more people followed... In the end, there were thirty or forty servants from the Zheng family standing on the dock.
Jiang Zhen had never seen Zheng Hu before, and this was the first time he had seen him. He couldn't just look at other women casually, so he just glanced at him. After seeing him, he thought that Zheng Hu was good-looking and had a good temperament, so he couldn't say anything else.
Jiang Zhen didn't have to contact other people's female relatives. Zheng Hu's arrival did not affect him, but Zhao Liu and Zhao Jin Ge were different. They wanted to greet Zheng Hu.
Zheng Hu and they are completely different people... When Brother Zhao saw Zheng Hu, who was surrounded by many servants, he felt that he had no place to put his hands and feet, but Zheng Hu was very friendly to him and kept talking to him with a smile, which made him slowly relax.
Jiang Zhen kept watching from a distance. After finding that Brother Zhao Jin had adapted, he breathed a sigh of relief, then picked up Zhao Mingzhu and said to Zheng Yi: "Mr. Zheng, do you want to go to the village to have a stroll?"
"Okay." Zheng Yi nodded, thought for a while, and asked someone to call his four-year-old daughter and hug her.
Zheng Yi's daughter was dressed very beautifully and smiled without showing her teeth. Jiang Zhen looked at her and felt that she was just like a little princess. As a result, after the little princess was hugged by Zheng Yi, she froze and her mouth couldn't help but open, looking irritated.
"Zhenzhen, isn't it okay for dad to hug you?" Zheng Yi was very entangled when he saw his daughter's expression.
The little girl named Zheng Zhen still looked at Zheng Yi in disbelief.
Zheng Yi: "..." He had never held this child before, but he didn't have to show such a look, right?!
Zheng Yi was a little depressed, and soon, something even more depressed happened - he hugged the little girl for a while, but he couldn't hold it anymore... The wet nurse in the mansion was obviously not tired after holding it for an hour, and his strength was not as good as a servant?
Although Zheng Yi scared his daughter at first, it didn't take long before the little girl became natural and became much more intimate with Zheng Yi.
Zheng Yi had been close to him by his own children before. His daughter was so close to him that he inevitably liked his daughter more and more. He understood why Jiang Zhen liked to hug Zhao Mingzhu so much.
Zheng Yi's family stayed in Hexi Village for a day before leaving. After they left, Brother Zhao Jin breathed a sigh of relief and said to Jiang Zhen: "Mrs. Zheng is so powerful and knows so much."
Mrs. Zheng was always very accommodating when chatting with him, but he could still feel that the other party knew a lot.
"So too." Jiang Zhen nodded.
"Young Master Zheng is very awesome," Zhao Jin Ge nodded and said, "By the way, why did Young Master Zheng suddenly call his wife and children?"
"He wants to be with our Xiutong family." Jiang Zhen said.
Of course, Zheng Yi could not have called his wife and children for no reason, which is actually a sign of his attitude.
At first, Zheng Yi didn't take him seriously, but only regarded him like his subordinates, but later he paid more and more attention to him. Now, Zheng Yi has treated him equally and even planned to have a deep relationship.
The next day, Jiang Zhen took Brother Zhao Jin to the county town. After another day, he took Brother Zhao Jin to the Zheng family's boat and then headed to the capital city.
They were going to walk around the Fucheng, preparing to open a larger Qingfeng Tower, and by the way, they gave the "Qingfeng Wine" brewed by the Zheng family according to the secret recipe in an ancient book to some people in the Fucheng.
This time when I went to Fucheng, Zheng Yi's wife was also there. Her parents' Hu family was from Fucheng. Zheng Yi went to Fucheng to do business and she could stay at her parents' home for a few days.
Zheng Hu was very enthusiastic about Brother Zhao Jin, but after finding that Brother Zhao Jin was different from ordinary women Shuang'er, and he was very restrained when chatting with her, he stopped looking for Brother Zhao Jin. Even if he occasionally talked to Brother Zhao, he only talked about children.
Jiang Zhen and Zhao Jin Ge took Zhao Mingzhu with him when they went to the city this time. The youngest son of the Zheng family was still breastfeeding. The Zheng family raised two wet nurses. Zhao Mingzhu could eat with her. Jiang Zhen, who couldn't bear to part with her daughter, simply packed her up and brought her with him.
"You take your daughter everywhere you go, and you don't know what your daughter will look like in the future..." Zheng Yi looked at Zhao Mingzhu and said.
"Growing up a woman that ordinary men will never dare to bully!" Jiang Zhen said without hesitation.
Zheng Yi paused and decided not to joke with his younger son and let him marry Zhao Mingzhu.
Zheng Yi had a house in the mansion city, and everyone took a day to settle down. The next day, Zheng Yi took Jiang Zhen and a small jar of Qingfeng wine to visit the prefect of Hexing Mansion.
As we all know, the prefect of Hexing Prefecture, he had the best wine.
The prefect of Hexing Prefecture is from the north, and he has no friendship with the Zheng family, and he does not hate the Zheng family. If it were in the past, for the sake of Master Zheng Er, Zheng Yi would definitely meet him, but now...
Zhou Mao and the magistrate had just had a fight in Hecheng County. Now the prefect has made up his mind to stay away from the Zheng family.
"Zheng Yi? I said I was busy with business, so I asked him to go back first." When he learned that Zheng Yi was coming, the prefect said immediately.
The servant nodded quickly and came back soon.
"Is the person gone?" asked the prefect.
"Go back to the adults, the man left and left a gift." The man said.
"I won't accept gifts...ah...what did I give it to you? Let the wife go to the warehouse to check it out later and choose a similar one to send it back." The prefect said.
"Sir, just a small jar of wine." The man said, "The villain knew that he was good at wine, so he accepted it... It was just a jar of wine, and I don't think he needed to give me a gift."
As the servant said, he took out a very small jar... It was indeed a "small" jar of wine, and the jar was only the size of a palm!
"This... the Zheng family has the face to give it to such a small jar of wine?" This jar is too small, right? The wine inside is probably put into the wine pot, and it is only one pot!
The servant smiled embarrassedly: "It's a little smaller, but it is said to be made of a secret recipe..."
"Secret recipe, I want to see what's strange about this wine." The prefect opened the jar and said while dismantling it: "The wine from Jiangnan is too soft, and I have never eaten anything that suits my wishes... wait..."
After the prefect opened the jar of wine, a strong aroma of wine came to his nose, and for a moment, he was stunned.
This wine is really delicious!
"Get me a cup!" The prefect of Hexing Prefecture said hurriedly.
The servant quickly brought him a cup, he poured out a small cup, took a sip, then slapped his thigh and said, "Good wine!"
This is the first time he has drunk such a mellow wine!
Why is there only such a small cauldron? Also, he wants to visit Zheng Yi a little...
