Lan Ke Qi Yuan Chapter 78: Asking for turtles as well as for people
‘Hey, what a luxury! ’
Ji Yuan wandered around Chunhui Mansion with this precious pot of Qiannichun. The entire Chunhui Mansion had a total of forty-two large squares, and the scale of each square was far larger than the original twelve in Ning'an County. Xiaofang is much larger, with a total population of about 200,000, and streets extending in all directions with a constant flow of cars and horses.
Ji Yuan has always been somewhat confident in his sense of direction, but in a place like this, he still feels confused about where to go.
The last choice was my stomach, so I found a cheap place to deal with the problem of eating.
Fortunately, although Chunhui Mansion is large, consumption is not high everywhere, and you can still find stalls where you can have a meal for a few pennies.
. . .
At this moment, in the Guiyue Fang near the south of the city in Chunhui Mansion, in a high-class inn, Wei Wuwei was frowning and writing something in the room.
In order to meet the needs of guests, some good inns, in addition to the large buildings listed on their names, also have single-family houses like Wei Wuwei's, and the prices will naturally be more expensive.
“Dong dong dong…”
There was a knock on the door, and Wei Wuwei raised his head and looked at the open door.
"Come in!"
A middle-aged butler-looking man entered the room.
"Master, the Zuijinwan and Dukang wine purchased from Dingyuan Mansion and Duming Mansion have arrived. Jinzhou Hongfentou should be on the way. Calculating the time, we should be able to make it. The Jinyu Wine from Gyeonggi Mansion will be rushed even if we work hard. Not as good as that.”
"Well, if you can't make it in time, then you can't make it in time. These wines are enough. Have the uncles and the others tasted the wines? Which one is the best?"
The steward thought for a moment before replying:
"As far as I know, among all the wines, the local Qianrichun in Chunhui Mansion is slightly better!"
"Okay, you go down."
"Yes, I resign, old slave!"
Waiting for the old steward to walk out of the room silently, Wei Wuwei picked up the brush and crossed out Zui Jinxia and Dukang Wine on the paper.
For this May 15th event, the Wei family has prepared more than thirty kinds of fine wines, including many famous wines as famous as Qianrichun. Some were brought from Desheng Mansion, and some were directly sold in Chunhui. The government purchases them, and some rush to prepare goods from other places.
"Hmph, Zheng Qianqiu only prepares two or three kinds of good wine every year. The highlight is Qianrichun. My Wei family is ten times better than you. I don't believe that old turtle won't come!"
Muttering, Wei Wuwei once again pulled out the piece of blue jade from his chest and played with it in his chubby hands. He looked carefully at the light from the window and could not see the four small characters he had seen before.
‘If you go to the fairy mountain, will the money you get there be easy to use? What if things don't work out, such as food, clothing, and concubines? Why can't I go down the mountain to go home during the New Year's holiday? Or give the opportunity to others, but I don’t have a son yet...’
Wei Wuwei's thoughts began to wander again.
. . .
On May 15th, it was getting late.
Ji Yuan, who had been waiting outside Nancheng for a long time, finally heard Wei Wuwei's voice again.
Starting in the afternoon, the Wei family group was divided into seven or eight batches, using small carts to transport the collected wine out of the South City Gate. In the evening, Wei Wuwei and a man who looked like an old butler slowly walked out of the South City Gate, holding in their hands He also carried a jar of Thousand Days of Spring and tasted it while walking.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk... This Chunhui Mansion is a really good place with good rivers, good water, and it can actually brew such fine wine!"
Listening to Wei Wuwei's comment, the old housekeeper next to him also laughed.
"I heard that there was only one small wine shop in Yuanzipu back then, and Qianrichun only brewed local wine. It was delicious but not famous. The then prefect accidentally drank it and was so amazed that he offered it to the Gyeonggi Prefecture and the emperor tasted it. Wan Longyan is so happy that he is specially given the name of Spring in a Thousand Days."
"Oh, that's it!"
Ji Yuan, who was sitting on a tree outside the city, also nodded secretly. He just heard the sound of Wei Wuwei's wine jar sloshing with more than half of the liquid in the distance, and then looked at the small wine flask in his hand with at most two mouthfuls left. All he could do was sigh.
The sun approached the western horizon, the sky quickly darkened, and the four gates of Chunhui City gradually closed.
At this time, the number of people outside Chunhui Mansion City has suddenly become scarce. Except for some boat shops on the river, there may be some people at the dock in the east of the city, while in the south of the city there are basically only those who have already left the city. And the Wei family is hiding secretly.
Wei Wuwei and the old housekeeper walked southwest along the river, with willow trees growing along the way. After about five miles, they saw several particularly strong willow trees that had fallen sideways and stretched into the river.
At this time, the full moon was high in the sky, and the evening breeze was blowing gently on the river. Except for a building boat hundreds of feet away on the river in the distance, there were no people around.
"Pa bang bang..."
The old housekeeper raised his palms, the wind whistling and clashing with each other, and he gave out three loud and clear high-fives.
Not long after the voice fell, people pushing carts came out one after another from behind some small woods nearby. There were about 20 people in total, and there were eight carts in total. Some carts were filled with five kilogram bottles of wine, and some were filled with five-pound bottles of wine. The carts are simply two large wine jars half as tall as a person.
"Master!" "Master!"
“I’ve met the head of the family!”
Quiet greetings came one after another. Wei Wuwei could keep silent to others, but he did not dare to show off to the two elders.
"Uncle, third uncle, you have watched me grow up since I was a child. Calling me the head of the family makes my teeth hurt!"
"Hahaha, the rules are insurmountable."
"Exactly, Master, everything is ready tonight. Can you open the altar and pour wine into the river?"
Wei Wuwei looked at the sky and then at the broad river.
"Okay, let's go to the river first to find a jar of Qianrichun and Du Kang!"
"Yes!"
Two of Wei Wuwei's elders personally grabbed a jar of wine from two of the carts, gently slapped the seal with their palms, and the sealing mud was blown away. Then they directly picked up the wine and stood at the riverside to pour it down. Liquor.
Ji Yuan hid in a willow tree more than thirty feet away from the downwind, smelling the aroma of wine, and felt a pity that everything was wasted.
Although it seems that he is not far away, Ji Yuan is not afraid of being discovered by Lao Gui and the Wei family. Not to mention the latter, even if the former has some righteousness, after all, he has not yet transformed. If he is soaked in water, some People with extraordinary talents in the aquatic tribe may find destiny, but it is not so amazing on the shore.
After taking two jars of wine and pouring it out, after a while, the surface of the river finally changed.
"Wow, wow, wow..."
The waves on the river gradually rose in the distance, which aroused the hearts of all the Wei family masters. Ji Yuan also looked intently at the river near the bank.
I saw a rippling water pattern approaching. Others could only see the waves with their naked eyes but could not see through the water in the darkness. But in Ji Yuan's eyes, the old turtle under the water was clearly visible, paddling in the water. Come.
"Crash..."
The giant turtle reached half of its body from the shore and frightened the Wei family members into retreating hastily.
Under the moonlight, half of the old turtle's back was one foot wide, as big as a small boat.
"Oh? The boy named Zheng didn't come? It seems that the fate of his life has not passed yet..."
Half of the old turtle's body was still submerged in the water. His two paws lying on the shore pushed down the mud and grass on the shore to a layer. He looked at the surrounding wine before continuing.
"From this point of view, his person fell into your hands, but it has no impact on me. Maybe it is a good thing."
Wow...
Twisting water columns rose from the river and flew toward several carts on the shore. They caught the carts and then dispersed with a crash, forming a tiny wave that pushed the carts toward the river.
"Plop~" "Plop~" "Plop~"......
Eight small cars fell into the water one after another. During this period, no one in the Wei family spoke. They all stared at everything in horror. This was the first time they saw monsters and water-bending magic. Find Shuyuan www.zhaoshuyuａ． com
"What? No request? Just a gift of wine? Hahaha... tell me!"
The old turtle rolled the wine into the river and did not leave immediately, but waited on the shore.
Wei Wuwei suddenly woke up and bowed solemnly to the old turtle.
"This Immortal Chief, I am Wei Wuwei, the head of the Wei family in Desheng Mansion. I am carrying an ancestral jade pendant in my family. I only know that the jade pendant comes from Yuhuai Mountain in the Immortal Mansion, but I don't know how to enter the Immortal Sect. I would like to ask the Immortal Chief for advice! ”
The old turtle turned to look at Wei Wuwei in surprise.
"You actually know that the jade pendant comes from Yuhuai Mountain? Come closer and let me see you!"
Even though Wei Wuwei was feeling nervous, he gritted his teeth and approached the old turtle. He stopped only when he was a foot away, his heart beating like a drum.
"Huh!? Why is your destiny unclear! Impossible, this is impossible... You are clearly just a mortal!"
Ordinary people can change their destiny if they have perseverance, but how can they blur their destiny!
Old Turtle suddenly raised his head again in surprise and contemplation, staring at Wei Wuwei.
"Since you know Yuhuai Mountain, have you met any master?"
Wei Wuwei's breathing became much calmer. Hearing Old Turtle's shock, he almost immediately thought of An Ran playing chess in the small courtyard in Ning'an County.
But he didn't know whether Mr. Ji would allow him to reveal his information, so he was hesitant at the moment.
But the old turtle in the river seemed to see through this and said in a hasty tone.
"You must have seen it, right? You must have seen it! Wei Wuwei~~!"
Old Turtle climbed up from the river with only half his body left. His voice changed from the calm before and became excited and loud.
"Can you recommend me, an old turtle, to an expert? Or you can give me a message to ask, Wei Wuwei~~~! You didn't hear me~~~!"
