Chapter 73 The Aroma of Wine in Yangzhou City

Sui Daye nine years.

Yangzhou City has been prosperous since ancient times. It is adjacent to the Yangtze River in the south, Huai River in the north, and the Grand Canal in the middle. "The world is rich", and it is the largest metropolis in the southeast.

There is a long street in the south of the city called "Purple Stone Street". Today, a merchant came and stopped by a shop.

"Guest officer, what kind of shop are you going to open?"

the toothman asked.

"Wine shop."

A clear voice came, and the man turned around in the shop. The bright sunlight came in from the window, reflecting a warm and unrestrained young man.

This person is about twenty, with sword eyebrows and star eyes, a straight nose bridge, a tall figure, a pair of bright and clear eyes, and a stable and mature temperament.

There is an ethereal feeling.

This person is precisely Qiu Mingxuan!

After ascending from the world of divine carvings, he entered the world of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty, extracted the innate skills of [Jiu Xian Lin Chen], and prepared to open a restaurant.

Project the heavens and travel through the sixth world.

Qiu Mingxuan traveled across the rivers and lakes and became "No. [-] in the world".

He also served as a minister of power and reformed the world.

More rebellion, forge ahead, and strive for hegemony.

He became an immortal and a patriarch, a Buddha and a saint, and he once thought of the three corpses, which caused chaos in the world.

Now, his merits and virtues have been completed, he has stepped into the realm of a true Taoist monarch, he has cultivated the three flowers gathered on the top, practiced the five energies, and turned a golden elixir into a baby.

Entering the world of Tang Shuanglong, he was indifferent to Taoism, and suddenly wanted to be a "mortal", open a wine shop, and be a "mortal wine fairy".

Dynasty contends for hegemony, number one in the world, but he doesn't have the heart to repeat it again.

"Guest officer, do you know how to make wine?"

The toothman said in surprise.

"Understood."

Qiu Mingxuan smiled, and personally brought a bucket of water from the backyard, wet the rag, and cleaned the entire shop.

The shop is not big, about [-] square meters, with only a counter, a few tables and chairs, which were left by the previous tenant. Qiu Mingxuan, like an ordinary person, took a broom and cleaned the yard of the shop, feeling extremely peaceful in his heart.

"This kind of ordinary life has not been experienced for a long time."

Qiu Mingxuan's eyes were bright, his mouth was smiling, and his demeanor was warm and indifferent.

Suddenly, crying came from the street and fell into Qiu Mingxuan's ears. His eyes were surprised, and he immediately wiped his hands and walked out of the shop slowly.

On the bustling street, many people gathered at this time, a girl in clothes was being dragged and scolded by a middle-aged man in a short shirt.

When others saw it, they all talked about it.

Unfortunately, no one stepped forward to help this girl.

"Father, I'm not going, I'm not going..."

The girl sat slumped on the ground, tightly hugging the middle-aged man's thigh, crying and begging, pear blossoms brought rain.

But the man in the rough jacket had a vicious expression on his face, he suddenly raised his big hand, and with a slap, he slapped the girl across the face.

"What if we don't go?"

"The family owes so much money, do you want your father to be beaten to death?"

The girl's cheeks were flushed, but she still refused to let go, sobbing and saying: "Father, I can make money to pay off the debt, please don't sell me to someone else to be a concubine, please, please..."

"Just earning those three melons and two dates, what can you do?" The rough-clothed man scolded: "It's your luck that shopkeeper Feng has taken a fancy to you! You go to Feng's house and serve shopkeeper Feng well. Give birth to a son and a half daughter, and you will own the entire Feng's Bun Shop in the future. No one else can ask for such a beautiful thing, and you are still pushing around here, you are really a loser with long hair and short knowledge!"

"Father, I'm not going, I'm not going..."

The girl is still crying.

The owner of Fengji Steamed Bun Shop in the south of the city is 50 to [-] years old, older than his father, and looks old and ugly. There is also a big lady with a strong personality. Longing, how can I marry such a person as a concubine? Isn't that the end of my life?

It's a pity that her father is a bad gambler, owed a lot of gambling debts, and was determined to sell her to Lao Feng as a concubine.

"Who can help me?!"

At this time, Wei Zhenzhen was in despair, she was crying like rain, she moved away from her father's fierce and ruthless face, and looked expectantly at the passers-by on the street.

It's a pity that those people talked and pointed, but no one stood up.

Just when she was ashen, like a puppet, and decided to submit to her fate, a gentle and clear voice suddenly came from the crowd:

"How much do you owe?"

All of a sudden, Wei Zhenzhen's delicate body shook, and she looked up.

I saw a young man in white walking slowly out of the crowd, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, a tall figure, a pair of clear and bright eyes, and a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

He doesn't look very old, about twenty, but he is personable and dignified, exuding a mature and stable temperament.

A ray of hope suddenly burst out in Wei Zhenzhen's eyes.

It's like meeting a hero of the world!
"Young master, do you want to buy my daughter?" Seeing Qiu Mingxuan's demeanor, Wei Laosan's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but smile all over his face.

"Yes."

Qiu Mingxuan nodded, and said in a gentle voice: "You sold her to someone else to be a concubine, why not sell her to me, I am going to open a wine shop, and I need a servant girl."

"Use the girl?"

Suddenly, Wei Lao San frowned: "My daughter was born with a beautiful face, you bought it back just to be a servant girl?"

"You sell your daughter, don't care what I do when I buy it back. Shouldn't your concern be the price of the sale?"

Qiu Mingxuan said lightly.

"That's the truth!" Wei Laosan nodded, and immediately opened his fingers, and the lion opened his mouth and said: "Old Feng from the Baozi Shop in the south of the city is willing to pay five pennies to buy my daughter as a concubine. You can't lower the price!"

"Five pennies?"

People on the street gasped after hearing this.

"Nowadays the world is in chaos, and thieves are everywhere. A beautiful woman can be bought for only two or three pennies. Old Feng from the bun shop in the south of the city is willing to spend five pennies. What a great deal!"

"Maybe, it's the old man who opened his mouth and wanted to blackmail someone."

"Five pennies, that's too much."

"This young man is handsome and has an extraordinary bearing. He looks like a nobleman. Maybe he is willing to spend this unjustly money."

When the pedestrians on the street were talking about it, Qiu Mingxuan nodded lightly, and immediately said: "Okay, I'll sell you five pennies."

"hiss--"

All of a sudden, the pedestrians on the street gasped.

Are you really being wronged?

"Good good."

Old San Wei smiled and nodded hastily.

In fact, Old Feng from Chengnan Steamed Bun Shop was only willing to pay three and a half.

Before he opened his mouth, he was actually asking for a price. As long as Qiu Mingxuan was willing to pay more than "three and a half", he would be willing to sell it.

Unexpectedly, Qiu Mingxuan agreed without hesitation.

I just like a rich man like you who spends money like water!

Wei Laosan smiled happily, and hurriedly followed Qiu Mingxuan into a shop that had not yet opened a plaque, drew up a contract of sale, asked the village sages to sign as a guarantee, and sold his biological daughter Wei Zhenzhen to Qiu Mingxuan.

"From now on, she is mine, and you can't come to her again."

Qiu Mingxuan said lightly.

"That's nature, that's nature."

Wei Lao San nodded hurriedly, but what he actually thought in his heart was another matter. He just smiled and told Wei Zhenzhen, "Girl, from now on, you will be the owner of Shopkeeper Qiu. He wants you Just do whatever you want, and you must not resist in the slightest, do you understand?"

"Yes, I understand."

At this time, Wei Zhenzhen's expression was calm, and since entering the shop, she has been silently paying attention to this matter, and did not cry anymore. Hearing what Wei Laosan said, she immediately bowed down and obediently responded.

Seeing this, Wei Lao San smiled with satisfaction, and said with emotion: "Girl, don't blame father for being cruel, it's just that it's not easy to live in this world. I think shopkeeper Qiu is a person with status and background. You followed him It's better at home."

After speaking, he sighed deeply, and left with five pennies in his pocket.

Standing in front of the shop threshold, looking at the back of Wei Laosan leaving, Wei Zhenzhen's expression was startled, and she remained silent for a long time.

After a while, she came back to her senses, bowed her head to Qiu Mingxuan, and said politely and politely: "Master, what should I do now?"

"Hehe, don't call me master, just call me shopkeeper." Qiu Mingxuan smiled lightly, and when he got along with Wei Zhenzhen, his demeanor and tone were gentle, as if he treated Wei Zhenzhen as an equal, and he didn't regard Wei Zhenzhen as a "servant".

This surprised Wei Zhenzhen, and a warm current flowed through her heart.

"Come, accompany me to clean the shop and the yard."

Qiu Mingxuan said with a smile.

"Yes."

Wei Zhenzhen nodded, and immediately entered the working state. She picked up a bucket of water from the well in the yard, and was busy in the shop and the yard.

Many corners that Qiu Mingxuan didn't notice were all cleaned by Wei Zhenzhen. After a while, the whole yard and shop became neat and tidy.

"No wonder people say that there must be a woman in a family."

Qiu Mingxuan was emotional, and immediately gave Wei Zhenzhen a thumbs up and said: "Mother Zhen, you did a good job today, the family depends entirely on you."

"This is what slaves should do."

Wei Zhenzhen pursed her lips and smiled.

After only half a day of contact, Wei Zhenzhen gradually understood that Qiu Mingxuan was a gentle and refined person, and did not regard her as a servant.

Instead, as 'partners, relatives, family members'.

Wei Zhenzhen was full of gratitude for this unique attitude towards communication, and gradually relaxed a lot. Her eyes were bright, and the corner of her mouth was smiling, like a spring flower blooming.

"After a tiring day, cook a meal at night and reward yourself."

Qiu Mingxuan stretched, feeling the long-lost 'mental exhaustion', immediately locked the door, and went shopping with Wei Zhenzhen.

"This, this, and this..."

Qiu Mingxuan was not short of money, so he entered the Zishi Street Vegetable Market, looked at the vegetables and fruits from the street vendors, and asked about all the unfamiliar and fresh ones, and bought them with money, like a nouveau riche.

In the history of each dynasty, folk treasures are indeed different. Even if Qiu Mingxuan has extraordinary experience, he will inevitably encounter things he doesn't know.

And this situation also made Qiu Mingxuan feel very satisfied.

Life is all about experiencing new things that you have never seen before.

If you repeat one thing every day.

That would be boring.

"Let's go, Zhenniang, to buy you clothes."

Not long after he left, he saw a tailor shop on the side of the street, Qiu Mingxuan waved excitedly, and suddenly beckoned Wei Zhenzhen to follow him in.

With a smile on the corner of Wei Zhenzhen's mouth, as if eating honey, she responded lightly, and then walked in.

Along the way, she was used to being "arranged" by Qiu Mingxuan.

Qiu Mingxuan did not allow her to refuse.

But his attitude made Wei Zhenzhen experience happiness and sweetness that she had never experienced in 18 years.

"It would be great if it could be like this for a lifetime."

Wei Zhenzhen said longingly.
