Allure of a Country Maiden

The winery owner turned his head and looked at Xiaoer.

Well, I didn’t even bother to speak.

Xiaoer pointed to the jade pendant hanging on his waist, "Are the jade pendants on Boss Shi's waist a pair? You only brought half of them?" When signing the document, Xiaoer saw that the winery owner's surname was Shi, so she called him Boss Shi is here.

Well, this is the first time that I don’t even have the most basic greetings when doing business.

"How do you know?" The winery owner turned back to look at Xiaoer. Has she seen her other half?

"It looks a little awkward to me, like it's only half of it." Xiaoer changed what she wanted to say when she noticed someone peeping in the alley not far away.

The winery owner left without saying a word.

Because of Xiaoer's words, Shen Chengyao also glanced at the winery owner's jade pendant. It looked familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere, but he had also forgotten it.

Xiaoer saw that Shen Chengyao was confused and knew what he wanted to say, so he stopped him first with a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Dad, it's not convenient to talk here."

Then he lowered his voice and said, "Dad, let's go see the winery."

"Okay." Shen Chengyao nodded.

I don’t know how big the winery I bought for these 10,000 taels, and I don’t know what’s in it!

The two returned to the winery. By this time, the door of the winery had been locked from the outside, and it was obvious that no one was inside.

Shen Chengyao opened the door and the two of them walked in.

As soon as you enter the gate, you will see a clean and spacious yard. In the corner on the left, a shed has been built with many empty wine jars stacked up. There are three wells in front of the shed.

There is a large room on the right with a large smoke window on the roof, which should be the place where wine is brewed.

The two of them went in and took a look. The brewing equipment was all cleaned up and placed in appropriate locations. There are pottery tripods for cooking, large mouth pots for fermentation, leaky jars for filtering wine, pottery urns for wine storage, etc.

Although the owner of the winery looked indifferent, everything in the winery was really orderly, with complete tools and cleanliness.

It can be seen that he is also a conscientious person.

The two of them arrived at the underground wine cellar, where large and small wine jars were arranged neatly and densely, with no fewer than hundreds of them.

"These wines are very fragrant." Shen Chengyao opened a small jar and smelled it.

"Go back and bring a jar of wine home to repay you."

Shen Chengyao nodded.

The two people walked out of the underground wine cellar and came to a counting room.

"There is another door here. Dad, please unlock it. Let's go in and take a look."

Shen Chengyao found the key and opened the door.

What came into view was a wooden staircase. Xiaoer raised her eyebrows. It turned out to be a basement.

The two walked down, and Xiaoer took out a night-light pearl for lighting.

The wine jars are also neatly and densely packed. But these wine jars are all the same size, weighing fifty pounds each.

There is also an empty shelf placed on one wall, which should have been used to store account books.

Xiaoer glanced at the words on the red paper attached to one of the wine jars.

Then after some calculations, it turned out to be a hundred years! Xiaoer suddenly became excited, and she looked over from jar to jar.

"Dad, these are hundreds of years old!"

"These are more than fifty years old." Shen Chengyao looked at the wine jar at the other end.

"This ten thousand taels of silver is really worth it!" Shen Chengyao sighed as he looked at the hundreds of jars of wine.

"It's an unexpected surprise. We need to arrange for someone to come over and guard the winery as soon as possible." Otherwise, if there is no one to guard such a large winery, no one would know that the wine has been moved away.

What's more, the sneaky person just now didn't know what his plan was.

As soon as the two of them left the gate of the winery, they were blocked by two strong men.

"Brother, I advise you to sell this winery to our Uncle Shi." Behind the two strong men stood a middle-aged and elderly man with a pair of triangular eyes that looked greedy.

"Sorry, my family just needs this winery and I won't sell it." Shen Chengyao instinctively pulled Xiaoer back.

"You bought it for 10,000 taels, right! I'll give you 11,000 taels, and you can make a thousand taels by changing hands!" The middle-aged and elderly people spoke with a voice like a duck.

"Not for sale." Shen Chengyao shook his head.

"Eleven thousand and fifty taels!"

"Pfft!" Xiaoer couldn't help laughing.

One thousand taels, one thousand five hundred taels? Is this sending beggars away? !

"It's not about money. My family needs to open a winery, so I won't sell it no matter how much money I have!"

"Okay, don't you drink the fine wine for the toast? Then don't blame me for being rude! Come on! Beat me until he is willing to sell it!" The triangular-eyed face showed a fierce look.

A strong man raised a wooden stick and hit Shen Chengyao.

Shen Chengyao was not a vegetarian, so he caught the stick with one hand, pulled the strong man over with one force, and punched him in the stomach.

Seeing this, another person planned to capture Xiaoer and force Shen Chengyao to submit.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he made a move, Xiaoer would have a whip in her hand. She swung the long whip in her hand and made a bloody mark on his body!

"Mom, I won't chop you up today, and I won't have to hang around here anymore!" The man got even more angry after taking the whip forcefully.

"Then we have to see if you have this ability!" Xiaoer raised the whip in her hand again, scaring him and running back quickly.

Li Zhewei's voice sounded at the entrance of the alley: "Master Marquis, what kind of trouble has the Lord Ruian encountered?"

Mr. Hou? County Lord? Triangle Eyes reacted and hurriedly stopped the two of them, then nodded and bowed and said: "Why are you here, Master Li? Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, the villain has the eyes to miss Mount Tai. I don't know that the Marquis and the County Lord are here. I have offended you. I hope the Marquis The adults have plenty, so don’t argue with the villains.”

Then he pointed at the two strong men and cursed: "You two are short-sighted, why don't you apologize to the Marquis and the County Lord!"

"Master Marquis, County Lord, I have made a mistake. Please forgive me, Lord Marquis and County Lord." They both slapped themselves in the face.

"If I see you acting arrogantly again in the future, don't blame me for being rude!" Shen Chengyao waved his hand.

"And this winery, my family bought it today. If something happens, I don't care if you did it or not, I will bear the blame on you!"

Xiaoer glanced at Sanjiangyan, who was also frightened by the aura exuded by Xiaoer.

Understanding the meaning of Xiaoer's words, she secretly complained, but she didn't dare to give in.

Seeing this, Xiaoer didn't look at the three of them anymore and turned around and asked Li Zhewei: "Why is Young Master Li here?"

"I was shopping with my old lady, and I happened to see Third Aunt and the others shopping at the Silver Building. Knowing that you were here, I came here to pick you two up and have a meal at Shengda Restaurant, so that you wouldn't be unable to find anyone when you turn around."

Well, we could have sent a servant to do this, but his grandma saw him staring at the girl's face without blinking an eye, and felt embarrassed, so she asked him to come in person.

Really, he hadn't seen Miss Jingshu for a long time, so it was inevitable that he would look at her twice, and it was understandable that he would lose his composure for a while.

But it is so happy to be able to indirectly give a hairpin to Miss Jingshu.

After the spring is over, and he is among the top three in the imperial examination, he can openly send out matchmakers to propose marriages.

His mother had promised him that as long as he ranked among the top three, he would make the final decision on his marriage.
