"Father, stop hitting me. I know my mistake, I know my mistake…"
"Stop hitting me, I was wrong…"
Cheng Chumo's ghostly wails and howls were echoing in the courtyard. In the distance, on the drill ground, Cheng Chuli and Cheng Chubi who were practicing martial arts with long spears exchanged a glance with each other silently. After that, they glared at each other and shrunk their heads.
"Why is father so angry?"
"What did Big Brother do?"
"Second brother…"
"Third brother…"
"Father is so angry. What if he still hasn't vented his anger…the two of us.。。”
The movements of the two men suddenly paused. After a few seconds of silence, they threw down their spears and fled from Duke Lu's estate in a panic.
"Tell me, where did you go wrong?" Cheng Yaojin grabbed Cheng Chumo and asked with a dark face.
"I, I shouldn't have lied to father and said that the price of Zhenguan wine was fifty strings of coins. Actually, I only spent thirty strings to buy it from that merchant. I know my mistake…"
Cheng Chumo begged pitifully, but he didn't notice that Cheng Yaojin's face was getting darker and darker.
"I told you to deceive me, I gave you thirty strings, I gave you thirty strings!”
Cheng Yaojin gritted his teeth and gave Cheng Chumo another beating.
An hour later, Cheng Chumo was full of grievances. He covered his red and swollen butt and limped out of the room step by step.
Up until now, the dumb Cheng Chumo still didn't understand why his father hit him. This was Zhenguan wine! For such a good liquor, 50 strings was already considered very low!
In Cheng Chumo's opinion, this small bottle of Zhenguan wine was perfect from every angle, except for the small amount!
It could be sold for 60 to 70 strings!
After all, in his opinion, it was definitely very troublesome to brew such a good liquor! Moreover, they only provided 20 bottles of this small bottle every day. To be able to buy it for 50 strings of coins was definitely a profit!
Of course, if Cheng Chumo knew how Zhenguan wine was brewed, he would not think so.
After Cheng Chumo staggered away, Cheng Yaojin sneakily popped his head out of the room. He looked around and then carefully walked out with the big wine jar.
After leaving the Lu Duke's Mansion, Cheng Yaojin arrived at the Wing Duke's Qin Qiong's Mansion triumphantly.
In the first year of Zhenguan, although Qin Qiong already had many symptoms, his body was still healthy.
When Cheng Yaojin walked in, Qin Qiong was bare-chested and waving that large horse lance on the drill ground.
"Zhijie, why are you here!" Qin Qiong then threw the horse lance accurately into the weapon rack in the distance. He laughed and gave Cheng Yaojin a brotherly hug.
"Hahaha, Uncle Bao is still so heroic!”Cheng Yaojin also laughed heartily.
"Zhijie, you came just in time!"
Qin Qiong suddenly smiled mysteriously at Cheng Yaojin." My housekeeper just brought me a bottle of good wine. Come, I'll come with you to taste it!"”
"Uncle Bao, are you talking about Zhenguan wine?”Cheng Yaojin rolled his eyes.
"That's right! It was called by the Old Minister Jia, who loved wine tasting," The Zhenguan wine that I drank today, the Zhenguan wine that I will never drink again! Hahaha, it seems that Zhi Jie has also heard of it. Today, the two of us are considered lucky!”
Qin Qiong didn't notice Cheng Yaojin's strange expression. He brought him to the study and carefully took the familiar small porcelain bottle from the bookcase, then took two small cups.
He opened the small porcelain bottle quietly and took a sniff. Under Cheng Yaojin's increasingly strange gaze, he praised,""He really is the king of wine!"
Then, he poured the wine into the two small cups.
"Zhijie, please!"
Qin Qiong cupped his hands at Cheng Yaojin, picked up the cup, and took another sip. His face was intoxicated, and then he took a sip of wine.
"Tsk, good wine, good wine!"
Under Cheng Yaojin's strange gaze, Qin Qiong praised once again before reluctantly drinking the small cup of wine.
"Fragrant, strong, strong, good wine, worthy of Old Jia's praise!”
Qin Qiong licked his lips as if he had not had enough. He suddenly realized that Cheng Yaojin had a strange expression on his face. He looked at him as if he wanted to say something but hesitated. The cup in front of him had not been touched.
"Hmm? What, did Zhijie not like it?”Qin Qiong looked at the Zhenguan wine in the cup and gulped.
"A gentleman doesn't snatch what others like! Although I, Old Cheng, am not a gentleman, I also know this principle. Since Brother Shubao likes it so much, Brother Shubao, drink this cup of wine yourself! I'll drink the wine I brought!"
Cheng Yaojin said and showed the big porcelain jar that he had been holding tightly in his arms.
"In that case, I won't stand on ceremony!”
Qin Qiong seemed to be afraid that Cheng Yaojin would go back on his word. He hurriedly picked up the cup and poured it into his mouth." Good wine, really good wine. Unfortunately, the amount is too little!"”
Cheng Yaojin laughed smugly. He opened the lid and a strong fragrance spread out. Then, he drank it in big gulps.
"Hmm, what is this smell?"
Qin Qiong raised her eyebrows and leaned her head over." Why is this fragrance so familiar?”
As Qin Qiong thought about it, his eyes suddenly widened.
He hurriedly snatched the big porcelain jar from Cheng Yaojin's hand and drank it in one gulp.
"This, this, this wine…isn't it the Zhenguan wine? Good old man Cheng, why didn't you share such good wine with me?”
When Cheng Yaojin left Qin Qiong's residence, Qin Qiong was still hugging that jar of wine and acting like a drunkard.
After returning to his own residence, in less than fifteen minutes, Cheng Yaojin carried a large jar of wine and walked unsteadily towards Yuchi Jingde's residence.
In less than a day, Cheng Yaojin had visited the residences of several old men who had fought on the battlefield. Moreover, because it was the first time these old men had drunk alcohol, they were all drunk by Cheng Yaojin without exception.
(Hey, hehe, I was wondering why the title was so strange. It turns out that I accidentally marked it wrong. It jumped from 28 to 30. Hehehe...!）
