Chapter 67 Winery

Time is like water, July passes quietly in the blink of an eye, and the sixth day of August is auspicious and suitable for marriage.

On this day, Prince Xiangzheng married his princess.

In order to show the importance to the Duke of Shen, Prince Xiangzheng personally went to the Duke of Shen to welcome the bride, instead of letting officials from the Ministry of Rites take over.

Old Mrs. Zhao took Zhao Yujia to the Duke Shen’s Mansion to watch the ceremony. The eldest son of Duke Shen’s Mansion had a concubine who was about the same age as Zhao Yujia.

It was Zhao Kuang and Mrs. Zhao who went to the county prince’s mansion to watch the ceremony. The couple also brought Zhao He with them. Although Zhao He was white, it did not prevent him from making friends with others and preparing for his future career. .

In order to let the girls experience the grand occasion of the royal wedding and strengthen their determination to follow the dragon and the phoenix, Mrs. Zhao specially allowed them to go out to watch the fun.

Prince Xiangzheng is the emperor’s first child to get married, and he has the title of county prince. Even though the emperor does not like this son very much, his marriage ceremony is still grand.

Three days ago, the Ministry of Rites arranged for people to clean the streets from the Prince's Mansion to the Duke of Shen's Mansion.

Getting married is a happy event. There is no clear way, so people can watch the excitement.

The girls of the Zhao family stood on both sides of the street with a group of people, and hundreds of discipline soldiers were along the road to maintain order.

The sound of firecrackers and the sound of joy came, and the people watching excitedly shouted: "Come, come, the groom is here."

"This is the Prince of Xiangzheng County I really love the princess."

"Yes, look at this pomp and circumstance, how grand it is."

Amid the discussion of the people, the procession of welcoming the bride Getting closer.

Under the canopy, Prince Xiangzheng is riding a tall horse with a smile on his face. His bright red dress makes him look handsome.

“The dress on the prince’s body is so beautiful. I heard it took the embroiderer in the palace several months to embroider it.”

“I heard Prince Xiangzheng attaches great importance to this marriage, and even the welcoming team is carefully selected."

Behind him was a group of honor guards holding red lanterns and playing suonas. Behind it is a sedan chair, and behind it are a group of palace ladies holding flower baskets, scattering flower petals into the air.

“These are real petals.” Zhao Yuxiu said in surprise after receiving a few petals.

Zhao Shuangzhi glanced at her, "Are you a fool? Can the prince use fake flower petals to get married?"

"You are the only one who knows a lot, okay?" Zhao Jiahua He said to her.

"You are the bamboo shoots in the cracks of the rocks." Zhao ShuangZhi said angrily.

“Don’t argue outside.” Zhao Yufang advised.

The two groaned and turned their heads away.

The team welcoming the bride gradually went away, and the people’s discussions gradually subsided.

Zhao Yufang said: "Let's go back too."

"I still have something to do, you go back first." Zhao Shuangzhi did not wait for her consent, and left with his maid.

Zhao Jiahua also said: "I have something to do too."

"I'm going to buy some embroidery thread." Liu Shuqing whispered.

Everyone found reasons not to go back to the mansion right away. Zhao Yufang couldn't restrain everyone, so she could only go with everyone and not go back yet.

Zhao Wangshu was not wandering around. She was going to inspect her three stores. When passing a bookstore, she heard a familiar voice, "Shopkeeper, how much does this square inkstone cost?"

"Brother." Zhao Wangshu called in surprise.

Zhao Yin looked back with a smile on his face, "Yue'er."

"Brother, we are going to enter the venue in a few days, and you are still hanging out. It seems You are confident." Zhao Wangshu said with a smile.

"You said we should balance work and rest. I will go out for a walk, and then go back and read a book after a while."

"Brother Zhao, who is this girl?" A person walked from the side and asked.

“This is my younger sister.” Zhao Yin introduced the two of them, “Yue’er, this is my eldest brother’s friend Lin Fang.”

“Hello, Miss Zhao. "

"You, it's you." Zhao Wangshu recognized the "young man from Yiqiu Qiyuan."

"Yue'er, do you know Brother Lin?" Zhao Yin was surprised. Ran asked.

"Brother Lin?" Zhao Wangshu dragged him over, "Brother, are you blind?"

Can't you see such an obvious woman disguised as a man?

Return to Brother Lin.

"Brother Lin, I'm sorry, let's make an appointment another day." Zhao Yin pulled Zhao Wangshu out of the bookstore.

After leaving the bookstore for some distance, Zhao Yincai said: "Yue'er, you were a little rude just now."

Even when he blamed his sister, he spoke softly.

"How could I be rude? I just don't want you to be deceived." Zhao Wangshu pouted.

"Brother is not that stupid. She can disguise herself as a man. She must have her own difficulties, so why bother to expose her."

"You understand that she has her own difficulties., befriending her sincerely, but brother, have you ever thought about why she disguises herself as a man? Will the identity and name she told you be true? And why does she want to befriend you? "Zhao Wangshu asked seriously.

Zhao Yin was thoughtful, and Zhao Wangshu added, "Brother, I don't want to think too badly of you, but you are my eldest brother. "

Zhao Yin stretched out his hand to rub her head and said with a smile: "Brother knows that you care about him. "

The brother and sister said nothing more about Lin Fang. Zhao Yin took her to the newly opened winery at home.

The name of the winery: Zuixianfang.

Metaphorical meaning: The wine that can make gods drunk.

As soon as Zhao Yin and Zhao Wangshu arrived at the gate of Zuixianfang, a strong man came up to him, and when he saw Zhao Yin, he clasped his fists He saluted, "Master, you are here. "

"Uncle Hong, this is my sister. "

The strong man smiled naively: "Hello, girl. "

"Hello, Uncle Hong. "Zhao Wangshu nodded slightly in courtesy.

As soon as he entered the door, he smelled a mellow aroma of wine. Zhao Wangshu sniffed it and felt that the aroma of the wine was very special, with a hint of peach blossom, "Brother, What kind of wine is this? "

Zhao Yin looked at Uncle Hong, who smiled and said: "This is peach blossom brew. It is brewed with this year's fresh peach blossoms and fine sorghum. Someone just came and sold more than a dozen jars. Walk. "

When Zhao Wangshu heard this, his heart moved and he said with a smile: "Brother, why don't we also try this peach blossom wine? "

"You are still young and cannot drink. "Zhao Yin refused.

"Try a little bit. "Zhao Wangshu pulled his sleeve and acted coquettishly.

"If you want to drink, wait until the Chinese New Year, and you ask Grandma, and she will allow you to drink, and then you can drink. ”

“I don’t want to wait until the Chinese New Year, I want to drink it now. "Zhao Wangshu is a little willful in front of Zhao Yin.

"Be obedient, and my brother will buy you candy. "

"Brother, I am no longer a three or four-year-old child. "

Zhao Yin pinched her bulging cheeks and said, "The way you act now is like a three or four-year-old child. "

"It hurts so much! I want to tell grandma that you bullied me. "Zhao Wangshu covered his face and pretended to cry.

Zhao Yin couldn't laugh or cry when he saw her like this, "You really did everything you could to cheat someone into drinking. "

"Then will you give me a drink? "

" "Here, but you can only have a small drink." ”

Zhao Wangshu hugged him with a smileHe raised his arm and said softly: "I know, eldest brother is the best."

"Uncle Hong, please give me a pot of peach blossom wine." Zhao Yin took the wine and took Zhao Wangshu there. The restaurant in front.

When they arrived at the restaurant, Zhao Yin asked the store owner to bring him a wonton cup. Zhao Wangshu pouted, "Brother, you are so treacherous."

Zhao Yin smiled and picked up the pot. Pour her a glass of wine.

Zhao Wangshu came closer and smelled it. The aroma of the wine was overflowing and intoxicating.

I picked up the wine glass and took a sip. It was mellow and sweet in the mouth, with a hint of peach blossom aroma, which made people have endless aftertaste. It was indeed a good wine.
