"So, it's so late, why is my husband looking for me?"
As soon as Yun Xi finished speaking, she was keenly aware that Ji Jiuye's body tensed up, as if he had become extremely nervous in an instant.
In the darkness, he clenched his fists, composed himself, and said, "Ahem, starting tonight, I will sleep with you."
Before Yun Xi could speak, he continued forcefully, "We are already married. During this period, you have called me husband-in-law and told me that you want to live a good life, so you can't continue to separate rooms. "
Looking at this confident look, Yun Xi curled her lips and said, "So, my husband is willing to accept me?"
"nature."
Perhaps her attitude was too gentle, which relaxed Ji Jiuye's tense nerves, and her voice finally sounded a bit more natural.
"I don't want to divorce or divorce my wife unless I have to."
Yun Xi raised her eyebrows. Hearing what he meant, she really had thought of divorce or divorce...
She retracted her thoughts and took the initiative to hold Ji Jiuye's arm.
"Oh, then my husband, please go to bed quickly, otherwise, you won't be able to get up tomorrow."
Ji Jiuye didn't expect that she would take the initiative to get close to him. Being touched by her like this made his whole body tense again. Fortunately, he relaxed quickly. With a sigh, he took off his shoes and went to bed.
Then, after hesitating for a moment, he reached out and held her in his arms.
Smelling the scent of her hair, Ji Jiuye curled his lips. All the previous irritability disappeared, and his heart was no longer empty.
The next day, before dawn, Ji Jiuye got up and went to the academy in the town.
Because of this leg injury, he had delayed his homework for many days. Seeing that the provincial examination was approaching, all the students were in a state of frantic study, so he could not delay any longer.
If I fail this exam, then the next time will be three years later.
When leaving, Yun Xi gave him ten taels of silver, but he was very determined not to accept it. After studying for so many years, he had never brought so much money with him when going out.
Yun Xi didn't say anything, but stuffed it into his clothes when he wasn't paying attention.
After Ji Jiuye left, Yun Xi left eight kilograms of the two jars of brewed liquor, put two kilograms in the wine bag, and put the remaining fifty kilograms into the space.
Then, she changed into men's clothes, put on a mask, and disguised her appearance as ordinary, and set off towards the capital.
Hougou Village is more than 600 miles away from the capital. A thousand-mile horse would have to run for most of the day. Yunxi flew with a sword and arrived in less than twenty minutes.
She found a secret corner to land, stopped a passerby, and asked about the largest wine shop in the capital.
The largest wine shop in the capital is said to be the property of a county prince. It is on Zhuque Street, about eight miles away from here.
It was only eight miles away, which was a piece of cake for Yun Xi. She thanked the passers-by and headed towards Zhuque Street.
Zuixiangfang exudes a strong aroma of wine from a distance. There are a lot of customers inside and the business is very good.
Yun Xi walked in and immediately attracted a lot of strange looks. The reason was that her outfit was so bad.
Zuixiangfang is a high-end place, and not everyone can afford it.
The people who come in and out here are all rich or noble, either rich businessmen or high-ranking officials. They all wear brocade and silk. The rest are the servants of various wealthy families who are responsible for purchasing, and the servants all wear uniform clothes.
What Yun Xi was wearing was neither a servant's clothes nor brocade, so she looked out of place in the entire wine shop, as if she stood out from the crowd.
Yun Xi didn't care, walked to the counter calmly, and went straight to the person who looked like he was in charge.
The steward watched her walking straight towards him, looked her up and down several times, and then said, "Little brother, are you here to see Zhou?"
Yun Xi did not answer him, but asked him, "Is this eldest brother the manager here?"
Manager Zhou nodded and said, "Yes, Zhou is the manager of Zuixiangfang."
After finding the target person, Yun Xi took off the wine bag hanging on her waist, opened it and handed it to the steward.
"I heard that the steward of Zuixiangfang is proficient in all kinds of fine wines, and his wine tasting ability is unparalleled. I brewed one not long ago, so I would like to ask steward Zhou to help me taste it."
As a steward of a winery, it would be a joke if he didn't understand wine, let alone the steward of the largest winery in the capital.
When Manager Zhou heard that Yun Xi had come to help him taste wine, he immediately couldn't laugh or cry. He wanted to refuse, but she finished her good words first and praised him for his wine tasting ability, which was unparalleled. How could he have the nerve to refuse
Moreover, as soon as the wine bag was handed over, he smelled a rich, sweet but strong aroma of wine, which was completely different from the wine he had ever come into contact with.
Manager Zhou became very interested in the unfamiliar wine. After taking the wine bag, he put it under his nose and smelled it. He was immediately amazed and shocked.
Is there any wine like this in the world
As long as he smelled it, all his wine bugs were hooked out, and he couldn't help but want to taste it.
Manager Zhou couldn't help but swallow a few times, and with great effort, he took some of the wine bag away.
"This little brother, can you lend me a moment to speak?"
Manager Zhou's attitude became much gentler, with a smile on his face.
Yun Xi nodded in agreement. The fact that Manager Zhou could say this proved that he was interested in her wine, and his interest was very strong.
Her goal was only half accomplished.
The second floor of the wine shop is the place where distinguished guests are received.
After Manager Zhou asked Yun Xi to sit down, he asked politely, "Little brother, tasting wine is the most important thing. Can I have a taste?"
Yun Xi happily agreed.
Then, Manager Zhou took out his wine glass and poured a glass.
The alcohol content of rice wine is only 20 degrees at most, and most are more than ten degrees. Therefore, when ancient people drank wine, they would either hold a big bowl or hold a jar.
Manager Zhou took a cup, which was quite reserved, so he raised his head and prepared to drink it in one gulp, but the white wine was different from the rice wine and was several times stronger.
One mouthful went into the throat, it was spicy and choking, and almost sent Manager Zhou away on the spot.
Manager Zhou coughed for a long time before he regained his composure, but it had to be said that although the wine was strong and had great stamina, the lingering fragrance left people with endless aftertaste. The sweetness lingered between the lips and teeth, and the more he drank, the more he thought about it.
"Good wine, good wine..."
Manager Zhou laughed loudly and took another sip.
He already knew that this wine was very strong, several times stronger than the strongest wine he had ever drunk. If he wanted to drink it the same way as before, he would be drunk and unconscious after just one drink.
After drinking a glass, Manager Zhou looked at Yun Xi's wine bag with burning eyes and asked her about the origin of the wine.
Naturally, Yun Xi couldn't tell the truth. She only told the brewing method that she read in a book, so she tried to brew it.
