She is different from the empress in the history books

Chapter 114 Gifts
Putting aside the inconspicuous local products of Taizhou, Pei Wei was the first to discover the fruit wine packed in several thick wooden boxes. He pointed with his hand and asked:

"what is this?"

"Your Majesty, it's wine. There are wines that our Highness bought from the caravan, as well as home-brewed fruit wine. His Highness tasted it and said it tasted good, so he sent some to give His Majesty a taste. If His Majesty thinks it's good, Our Highness also feels happy."

wine...

Pei Wei was not very interested in wine. What he could buy in the palace and what the late emperor had stored was no worse than what Pei Peng could buy.It was self-brewed wine. He had never heard that Pei Peng had a craftsman who could make fruit wine. He was a little curious when fruit wine was suddenly produced.

He ordered the palace servants to open the wooden box, and then opened up the cloth that was tightly wrapped around it to prevent it from breaking, and then the true contents were revealed.

Because it is to be given to Pei Wei, and it is also considered that it will be sold in the future, the jars containing the wine are also specially fired in kilns. The whole body is shiny and slightly green, and the touch is smooth and delicate. name.

Pei Wei silently recited the name on the wine jar, and her low expectations were raised a bit. Such a beautiful name, if the wine doesn't taste good, it really doesn't match well.

Zhao's servant is still injured, and Pei Wei hasn't made it clear whether he will come back to serve, so the one serving beside Pei Wei is another servant.

With lessons learned from the past, he became more cautious when serving Pei Wei, his pouring hands trembled slightly, Pei Wei looked annoyed, and told him to back down, and instead asked the person sent by Pei Peng to come up and pour the wine for him .

This man's name is Qu Song, he always has a smile on his face, he speaks nicely, and he is quick-witted, that's why Pei Peng chose him to come to Beijing.

Therefore, when he heard Pei Wei's unusual request, he was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted, walked over, knelt down at the table, and started pouring wine.

Before Pei Wei tasted it, without waiting for anyone to remind him, he took a sip of each one on purpose, and took the silver needle handed over by the waiter to test the poison separately. After completing this set of procedures, he handed the wine glass to Pei Wei respectfully.

"Your Majesty, you see, this spring wine is made from a sweet and sour pear native to Taizhou. The ripening period of this pear is very short. It only takes seven days. If it is not picked, it will be completely inedible. And even if it is picked, it will be completely inedible. It can only be stored in a cool place for three days. After three days, the skin turns black, the taste turns astringent, and the taste is greatly reduced. But pears always grow on high mountain cliffs, so picking is quite difficult, and once When it rains, it will be knocked off the cliff, and often only dozens of fruits can be picked from a tree. Therefore, even if it tastes good, not many people in the world can taste its deliciousness.

In the process of making wine, a large number of pears are needed, and only the sweetest and tenderest one is taken from each. After nine steps of brewing, the honey produced in the peach blossom forest in March is also used, and then it is precipitated. Take the clearest liquid from the top layer and discard the rest.This is just an introduction to this spring. "

This is purely a lie, this pear is so precious, and the process is so wasteful, why would Pei Peng not agree with Cheng Fei to carry out this project.

But to sell goods, especially to powerful and rich people, you have to play some gimmicks that "no one else deserves to have them, only noble people like you can enjoy them wantonly".

This set of speaking techniques was also discussed in Chengyang County. Qu Song rehearsed how to tell lies more naturally and tell the truth all the way.

Sure enough, it was very difficult for Pei Wei to resist such a noble experience. After listening to Qu Song's introduction, he picked it up and took a sip with great interest.

If this wine has a seven-point taste, after the hard picking on the cliff, the delicacy that is easily knocked down by the rain, the fleeting delicacy, the wild honey under the peach blossom tree and other gimmicks, this wine will also have It was very delicious.

In addition, the fruit wine brewing at this time is indeed not yet formed.

The fruit wine that people could drink at that time was often the ones bought back from the Western Regions, or some common people were reluctant to discard the wild fruits they picked back, and let the fruits ferment naturally to form a sour liquor.

Except for wine, other fruit wines are often difficult to completely become popular among the nobles due to their stronger taste.

As for the latter, it tastes even worse. It is just a way that ordinary people came up with to save money. It has never caught the eyes of nobles, let alone served on Pei Wei's table.

In short, whether it is in terms of brewing technology or craftsmanship, even if Pei Wei is the king of a country, it is difficult not to fall in love with this product that is beyond the times.

In particular, the time for him to enjoy the top-quality ingredients and drinks is still too short.

After tasting Chun An, he became more curious about the aroma, and he eagerly picked up another wine glass and started tasting it.

Pei Peng's main product is actually the former, and this choice is actually not bad at all. At least even if Qu Song said something similar and talked about the difficulty of the brewing process, Pei Wei's sense of surprise was not as strong as when he tasted pear wine.

Moreover, the taste of jujube itself is strong and tends to be medicinal. After it is brewed into wine, it tastes very healthy. Healthy taste is not the pursuit of young people like Pei Wei who have no children.

Pei Wei put down the wine glass with a little disappointment, Qu Song observed the situation, and said at the right time:
"Your Majesty and our Highness are indeed sisters and brothers. Before our Highness sent the villain to Beijing, we said that His Majesty would like Chun'ang more, saying that this wine is sweet. She still remembers that you loved sweets when you were young. So this time I also let you The villain brings more spring ounces.

However, drinking this wine of Fangli every day can help you sleep and calm your nerves, and it has the effect of nourishing blood, so it is very suitable for older people to drink it.It is also appropriate for His Majesty to use it to reward ministers who value him. "

Pei Wei did like to eat sweets when he was a child, but he didn't expect Pei Peng to still remember it, so he couldn't help but be a little stunned.

At the same time, the good horse sent by Pei Peng was inspected by the guards and taken to the horse stables in the palace. The good horse will inevitably attract passers-by to take a closer look, and among them is the young and cute horse. The foal is even more striking.

After a while, the news that Princess Chengyang specially gave the future prince or princess a pony reached Yin Meiren's ears.

Women in the palace are very lonely, and if they become pregnant again after being lonely, they will be affected by their health and become a little more depressed. Especially since Yin Meiren has been quite frustrated recently, it is inevitable that she will lose her temper with the palace people.

Under such circumstances, the palace people with quick minds will try their best to inquire about the news in the palace. If there is something that makes Yin Meiren happy, it can also reduce her anger.

No, knowing that Pei Peng specially prepared such a thoughtful gift for the child in Yin Meiren's womb, soon someone got it in front of Yin Meiren to invite him to pet him.

At this time, Yin Meiren's mother and sister-in-law were also there.

Since she was pregnant, Wang Shu generously gave her family members the qualifications to visit the palace. The Yin family has such an upstanding daughter, and the family members are also very caring, so they have to go to the palace every once in a while.

After hearing the news of Pei Peng's gift, Yin Meiren was overjoyed at first, thinking that it was the credit of the child in her womb, and then worried, and asked her mother hesitantly:

"Princess Chengyang... I heard that she once recommended Concubine Li to enter the palace, and is a close friend with her aunt. Will she sincerely congratulate me?"

Yin Meiren's mother didn't have much knowledge. When she married into the Yin family, the Yin family was not yet well-developed, and her natal family was naturally not outstanding. They could not provide her with much education and vision.

But Yin Meiren's sister-in-law has some brains, and she cares more about her daughter than her mother-in-law. Naturally, she is extremely ardent in hoping that her sister-in-law will give birth to a prince who will inherit the throne. She said to Yin Meiren firmly:
"Beauty, you can't look at it that way. Princess Chengyang recommends Concubine Li to enter the palace, so the Li family should accept her favor. It doesn't mean that she can only support Concubine Li. It's nothing more than a good sale. Now that you are doing well, she thinks You are more worthy of support, it is not impossible, not to mention, His Majesty loves you, Princess Chengyang naturally has to please you."

After bidding farewell to her natal family, Yin Meiren put her hands on her stomach, staring in a daze at the gift list Wang Yin and Pei Peng sent her.

The news of her pregnancy has been spread to Pei Peng. In fact, it has been made public for about a month, but during this period of time, the gifts she has received have not satisfied her.

Because most of the gifts given to her were cloth and jewelry, and those given to her children were pens, inks, paper, inkstones, and longevity locks. They were neither wrong nor outstanding. When she received the first gift, she was still interested in picking out the value of the second gift, and the third gift. share……

After she found out that the things these people sent were made out of a template, no matter how stupid she was, she could see that these people were all for Pei Wei to see, and she didn't care whether their mother and son would be useful, or even I hope that they won't be able to use it, and I'm afraid that something will happen and the gift giver will be involved.

It's perfunctory that's visible to the naked eye.

Wang Yin sent these things. Yin Meiren hastily flipped through the gift list, put it aside, and turned to look at the gift list sent by Pei Peng.

Regardless of the conventional gift names, there was a pony written on the gift list, with the note that it was a congratulatory gift for the future prince or princess.

Yin Meiren knows that a good horse is very expensive, because her family only has one horse, which is very ordinary, but her father gritted his teeth and decided to buy it, and after buying it, the family members are never allowed to use horses to harness carts, and they are not allowed to use horses. Her brothers ride.

And Pei Peng would definitely not give away an ordinary horse, so this value naturally made Yin Meiren take a high look.

In addition, this is a very suitable horse for children to ride. Yin Meiren has almost seen her son running around the racecourse on horseback.That must be a very healthy and healthy child.

She thinks this is a very good blessing. At present, except for her and Pei Wei, there are probably not many people who sincerely hope that this child will be born healthy.

and so……

Yin Meiren stared at the gift list in a daze, trying to imagine what Pei Peng was like and what his attitude was towards her.

She tended to believe her sister-in-law's words, after all, Pei Peng was a princess who relied on the emperor's grace to gain a foothold.And she doesn't have a son, and she can't enjoy the glory brought by her son, so she depends even more on the emperor's will.

Pei Peng wanted to please His Majesty and let Him see that she valued this child.

Pei Peng also wanted to please the child in her belly. She wanted to bet on her son.Because once this child inherits the throne as the eldest son, Pei Peng will have to rely on their mother and son if he wants to continue to enjoy the current light.

Yin Meiren couldn't help but burst into laughter as she thought about it. She felt that she had found a firm ally - Pei Peng.She was willing to give Pei Peng a chance. After all, she indeed lacked support from outside the palace.

"Come, come, come."

Yin Meiren suddenly yelled, and let the palace guards outside the palace come in.

"What are your orders, beauty?"

"I heard that the person sent by Princess Chengyang to give the gift is still with His Majesty. You go and wait for him to come out and lead him to my place. The princess gave me a generous gift, and I want to thank her in return."

When Qu Song came out of Pei Wei's palace, it was already past noon. He not only served Pei Wei to taste wine, but also served Pei Wei and Queen Wang to eat. Naturally, during the meal, the couple also drank Pei Wei. Peng sent wine.

Wang Shu probably guessed that Pei Peng wanted to start this business, or Wang Yin revealed it to her in his letter. In short, she was very considerate and complimented Pei Wei a few times, and even joked about asking Pei Wei for a few words. As for the wine, I said I would like to invite relatives and friends to try it when I entertain them for a banquet later.

Qu Song couldn't hide the joy in his heart, knowing that he had completed more than half of his mission to Beijing, with the support of the emperor and empress, how could the wine not be sold?

But extreme joy begets sorrow, as soon as Qu Song went out, he saw the maid sent by Yin Meiren.

This dynasty's control over the female family members in the palace is not strict. If Yin Meiren wants to meet Pei Peng's subordinates, she does not need to ask Pei Wei or Queen Wang for instructions. After all, the reason is very legitimate - thank Pei Peng for the gift.

But Qu Song didn't want to go.

Before he came to Beijing, Pei Peng only gave him two tasks, one was to bring gifts into Beijing smoothly, and the other was to try his best to sell the wine he brought, and sell it to as many people as possible.

It does not include any further contact with Yin Meiren.

From this we can see Pei Peng's attitude towards this concubine who is pregnant with the No. 1 emperor's heir, just keep it at a respectful distance, and don't do unnecessary actions.

However, he was invited, and Qu Song, a small person with no official position, had no right to refuse, so he went along.

In fact, some people in the palace were still curious about what Yin Meiren was looking for Qu Song, but only Qu Song knew.

He came out of the Yin Meiren Palace with no emotion on his face. There was no palace attendant behind him to help carry the gifts, and he didn't have anything in his hands. He seemed to have just said a few words.

Then there were invitations from people in Li Bin's palace.The reason was equally valid. Pei Peng was a close friend of her aunt and had said good things about her entering the palace. This was a fact known to everyone in the palace.

Originally, Yin Meiren didn't move, and Li Xiafu didn't want to attract anyone's attention, but the other party wanted to express her gratitude, so why couldn't she?
So, Qu Song came out of Li Xiafu's palace again after a while, and this time there was a palace attendant behind him holding a gift, which Li Xiafu had prepared for Pei Peng.
