Chapter 45 Winery
Facing such a little person, Mu Qingxi really loved him a little more.

"Okay, it's not bad to be so responsible at such a young age."

Mu Qingxi smiled appreciatively, and pulled Lang'er up from the ground, "Don't worry, I will definitely fulfill your wish."

The next morning, when Mu Qingxi went to pay her respects to the concubine, she told the truth about the matter, and then earnestly requested that Lang'er be allowed to go to school to study.

The concubine stared at her for a long time, and there seemed to be a touch of emotion in her eyes.

After a long while, he sighed softly: "Xi'er, it's hard for you to be so magnanimous and take care of the concubine's child so wholeheartedly."

Mu Qingxi lowered her eyes and said in a low voice: "He is not only the son of the prince, but also the blood of the palace. Since I am the aunt, I can't ignore him."

The princess smiled and said: "You are kind-hearted, I like this very much, and for you, I have to promise you. Don't worry, I will handle this matter for you, and I will find the best college for Lang'er. "

Mu Qingxi said gratefully: "Thank you, mother-in-law."

The concubine smiled faintly, looked at her lovingly and said: "My good boy, Ming Yi is sorry for you, don't take it too seriously."

Mu Qingxi knew that she was referring to Chunyu Fengzhan taking one or two concubines into the house within two months of the wedding. If they were placed in other people's homes, there would probably be troubles already.

How could Mu Qingxi care about these things, she shook her hands and smiled happily: "Grandma, I'm not here at all, you treat me like your own daughters, eat and sleep well, and let me take care of the housekeeper when I have nothing to do. Very satisfied."

The concubine was a little dazed, seeing how she seemed to have no plans, she sighed quietly: "Go back, I'm tired."

Mu Qingxi bowed and left, but felt in her heart that the princess's attitude today was very strange, did she know something?

Wang Hao's order came down very quickly, before noon, she sent someone to pass the message, asking Liu to prepare for Lang'er, and she would send Lang'er to Bailu Academy to study tomorrow morning.

The Liu family was both surprised and delighted. Bailu Academy was the most famous royal academy in the Tianyu Dynasty. It only accepts the children of the royal clan, and it is difficult for outsiders to enter even if they have money.

Lang'er's school work has been settled, but the need to wear the equipment made her worry.Xiyuan has always been desolate here, and most of her and Lang'er's expenses were deducted by some evil slaves. Now even if they want to find a piece of cloth to cut new clothes, they still find it difficult.

After searching and searching, I only found a half-new piece of green cloth. After comparing it for a long time, it was only enough to sew a schoolbag.

Liu had no choice but to take the needle and thread, thinking that it would be good to sew a new schoolbag for Lang'er first.

Lang'er lay at her feet, watched Liu's threading the needle seriously, and suddenly said: Mother, I must study hard, and when I have knowledge, I will become a high-ranking official, so that you can enjoy every day. "

Liu's eyes were red, and she nodded: "Okay, mother is waiting for you to grow up, and wait for you to pick mother up to enjoy the blessings."

Lang'er nodded excitedly, and suddenly heard someone knocking at the gate of the courtyard, Liu was startled, Lang'er jumped up and shouted: "I'll go and open the door."

Turned around and ran out.

Mrs. Liu put down her needle and thread, feeling a little worried, and followed her out, and saw Mo Xiang standing at the door with a smile on her face, and gave her a blessing when she came out: "Hello, Aunt Liu, this servant has fulfilled the order of the concubine, and sent it to my aunt. Something is coming."

Liu quickly let her into the room, "Miss, please come in."

Mo Xiang was carrying a lot of things in her hand, she went into the room and found a small table to put them down, she took out the same thing, and said with a smile while doing it: "These are two sets of summer shirts for the young master to change and wash. These are a pair of New shoes and a pair of new tabi socks were made overnight in the sewing room, and I let the young master try them on for a while to see if they fit. This is a brand new set of four treasures of the study. This is an invitation card for Mr. Wen of Bailu Academy. brought together."

Mo Xiang put everything in one place, and said with a smile: "Tomorrow at the beginning of the day, there will be a servant guarding the corner gate on the west side, and the young master can just take a carriage to the academy. The academy has meals at noon, so don't worry about it. Youshi Academy is over, and the servant will still bring the young master back."

Liu was grateful: "Thank you, Princess Concubine, for considering everything, please wait for me to thank Princess Concubine."

Mo Xiang bent her eyes and smiled: "Okay, the servant has to go back to report, so I'm leaving."

Mrs. Liu hurriedly shouted: "Girl, please have a cup of tea before leaving!"

Mo Xiang smiled and said, "Auntie, please stop, you're welcome." Turning around, she left.

Liu Shi put her arms around Lang'er and said softly: "Lang'er, the Crown Princess is a noble person in your life, you must always remember her kindness to you."

Lang'er nodded firmly.

In the Tianyu Dynasty, the big families, especially the royal family, usually built their own private wineries.The people of the Tianyu Dynasty were addicted to alcohol, and they liked to drink a few cups when they had nothing to do.

It's just that the alcohol content of wine in this era is very low, which is about the same as the alcohol content of beer in later generations, and the highest is only the alcohol content of red wine. With Mu Qingxi's drinking capacity, he will not get drunk after drinking a few more glasses.

Prince Fanyang's Mansion has its own private wine cellar, and the wine produced is used for daily banquets in the mansion.

The winery was built in a large workshop at the east gate of the imperial capital.Mu Qingxi brought Mother Feng and Mo Xiang all the way here in a sedan chair.

The eastern part of the imperial capital is dominated by handicraft workshops, wine workshops, rice mills, cloth dyeing workshops, etc., all kinds of smells are mixed, which is very unpleasant.

After getting out of the sedan chair, a very strong sour smell of distiller's grains came to my face.

A young man came out of the house with his back bare. When he looked up and saw them, he couldn't help being startled and asked, "What are you doing?"

Mo Xiang stepped forward and said: "This is the eldest concubine of Prince Fanyang's mansion, and she came to inspect the winery today, who is in charge here?"

The young man quickly behaved a little more respectfully, bowed and said: "Please wait a moment, the concubine, the villain will call the steward over immediately." He went in again.

Not long after, an old man in his fifties came out with a look of panic. He first glanced at Mu Qingxi, then quickly knelt down and kowtowed: "Hao Qingyun, the manager of the little man's winery, see Shi Zifei."

Mu Qingxi said with a smile: "You don't need to be polite to Guanshi Hao, I just came to take a look at it casually, Mo Xiang, quickly help Guanshi Hao up."

Mo Xiang smiled and helped Hao Qingyun up, Hao Qingyun accompanied him with a smile and said, "Do you want to go in and have a look? It's stuffy and hot inside, I don't know Shizifei..."

Mu Qingxi smiled faintly: "It's okay, you can lead the way."

Hao Qingyun didn't dare to say any more, quickly opened the curtain to invite Mu Qingxi in, and then quickly followed.

After entering the room, Mu Qingxi understood what Hao Qingyun meant when he said that it was stuffy and hot.

After entering the door, a wave of heat rushed towards her face, mixed with a more intense sour smell of distiller's grains, which made it almost impossible for her to breathe.

She covered her mouth and nose, and walked a few more steps. At this moment, she felt sweat pouring down her body and head.

The winery is carefully planned, the light is dark, and although it is stuffy, it is clean.

Hao Qingyun gave Mu Qingxi directions while leading the way: "This is the grinding and washing place, here is the stove, here is the drying hall, and over there is the cellar."

There were many workers working around, and when they saw three women coming in suddenly, one was extremely fat, one was an old woman, and one was a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl, they couldn't help but stop their work in a daze.

Hao Qingyun raised his voice and cursed: "You bastards, what are you looking at, hurry up and work!"

The workers immediately lowered their heads one after another, but couldn't help but secretly glanced over.

Mu Qingxi didn't care, and asked as he walked, "How do you make wine here?"

Hao Qingyun replied: "The process of making wine in the winery is to crush the rice, wash it, steam it, then mix it with koji and dry it in the sun, and then it needs to be fermented to become a daily drinking wine."

Mu Qingxi nodded, it seems that the wine here has not been distilled, so the alcohol cannot be increased.

She has a calculation in her heart, if her plan is to be carried out, then this winery will not be usable, she may not be able to stay in the palace for long, even if she wants to make wine, she will find another place.

This matter needs to be resolved by Xu Menglin and the others.

Mu Qingxi said with a smile: "Thank you, Guanshi Hao, for your introduction. Guanshi Hao has worked hard."

Hao Qingyun quickly smiled and said: "The concubine Shizi is being polite, this is what a villain should do."

Mu Qingxi winked at Mo Xiang, Mo Xiang took out a delicate purse from her bosom and handed it over, said with a light smile, "Guan Hao, this is a reward from the imperial concubine, take it."

Hao Qingyun was overwhelmed with joy and surprise, and the hands holding the purse were trembling.Although the purse is exquisite, the inside is heavy. Although he is called the steward, his monthly allowance is only three taels of silver. Just by weighing the contents in the purse, one can tell that it must be more than five taels of silver.

"Concubine Shizi, the villain deserves it." Hao Qingyun clutched his purse tightly and couldn't bear to let it go, but finally remembered that he should show that he was not so greedy for money, so he quickly explained.

Mo Xiang covered her mouth with a smile, but Mu Qingxi didn't answer, and walked out slowly while supporting Nanny Feng's arm.

Hao Qingyun sent Mu Qingxi all the way to the door, Mo Xiang turned his head and said with a smile: "Guan Hao, please wait, our concubine is going to inspect the next place."

Hao Qingyun repeatedly bowed and saluted: "Yes, please go slowly, Princess Concubine."

After getting into the sedan chair, Mu Qingxi took a long breath, walking all the way back with her airs on her shoulders, barely losing half of her life.

Mother Feng glanced into the sedan chair with concern, saw that her face was covered with sweat, and asked softly, "Miss, are you okay?"

Mu Qingxi shook her head: "The quality of this body is really not very good. If there is a way in the future, I must lose weight, otherwise I will get sick in the future."

Seeing the little girl Mo Xiang, not dizzy, out of breath, with a flushed face, Mu Qingxi is really envious.

Mother Feng sighed softly, she didn't know how to tell her, if she could lose weight successfully, how could she not think about her own lady in the past ten years, she just gave up after trying countless methods to no avail.

Mu Qingxi knew what was on her mind, and smiled softly: "Aunt Feng, don't worry about me, I will handle this matter by myself in the future. Let's go to Deyi Building first and find Mr. Xu, I have something important to tell him. "
