All Hail Cousin Brother

As if someone had peeked at it, the daughter's wine buried under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree for more than ten years, once tasted, it was fragrant, rich in color and mellow in taste...

Yu Youyao panicked, and quickly raised her wine glass: "This glass of wine, I wish you a long-distance crossing of Guanjin, you should cherish yourself after going through hardships."

After finishing speaking, she sent the wine to worry.

Yin Huaixi stared at her as she drank a cup, her face was tainted with a touch of charm, and the smell of alcohol entered her eyes, and as soon as the smoky water entered her throat, a ray of soft and sweetness penetrated into her heart, with every trace of affection , dense, full of sadness and lingering.

The wine-smelling man was also slightly drunk, and even his voice became hoarse: "Where did the wine come from?"

Yu Youyao pursed her lips: "After I was born, my mother used the glutinous rice from the three-acre field to brew three jars of daughter red, carefully sealed and buried it under an old sweet-scented osmanthus tree in Tiaoyu Courtyard. After my grandmother became seriously ill, , I mentioned this matter to me, and when I left Beijing, I dug out the wine and brought it to Quanzhou together."

Buried deeply with the wine is also a deep love for my daughter.

The longer this love is buried in the ground along with the wine, the more mellow the aroma of the wine and the deeper the love.

When the daughter gets married, the wine will be dug out and sent to her husband's house as a dowry gift. According to the rules, the first three bowls of wine scooped out from the altar should be presented to the daughter-in-law's father-in-law and biological father respectively. As well as her own husband, implying the wish for a healthy life and a prosperous family.

This is a custom in Shaoxing, Zhejiang.

There is no such custom in Jingli.

The mother knew that she could not accompany her daughter to grow up, so she brewed her deep love for her daughter into wine and sealed it underground, wishing her daughter a bright future and a bright future.

only!

The wine had already been dug out before she got married, and it was not easy to bury it back.

To bid farewell to Yin Huaixi today, she opened a jar of wine.

"The wine is good, and the people are good, but the timing of drinking is not good," Yin Huaixi chuckled: "Keep the rest of the wine, and drink it when the time is right in the future. It should have a different taste."

Yu Youyao looked at him quietly without speaking.

It was Meng Lang who said this, and Yin Huaixi rubbed his forehead: "Give me Shao Yuqin, and I will give you maintenance again. I think after finishing this maintenance, there is no need to do maintenance until the next time we meet. "

Yu Youyao is not good at maintaining Guqin,

Shao Yuqin is usually taken care of by him.

Yu Youyao nodded, carefully put Shaoyuqin into the piano case, and handed it to Yin Huaixi.

"Tomorrow morning, I'll send someone to deliver the piano to Xie's residence," Yin Huaixi took it, and picked up the wine jug that still had half of her daughter's wine left on the table: "I'll wait for you!"

After speaking, he strode out of Shuiyun Pavilion.

Looking at his slender and straight back, Yu Youyao felt sad and sad, but because of his saying "I'll wait for you", it was like eating a green fruit.

When first eaten, the taste is astringent and bitter.

After chewing for a long time, it is fragrant, sweet and has an endless aftertaste.

It is made with licorice and sugar water soaking, it is sweet and sour, moderately salty, and full of fragrance.

After returning home, Yin Huaixi went to the study room, took out a set of tools needed to maintain the Guqin, removed the strings and soaked them in tung oil to moisten the strings, lowered the piano to "fire", cleaned the surface of the piano, and repainted the paint surface...

One should maintain more than a dozen steps.

Every step is very cumbersome.

Yin Huaixi took the trouble and patiently maintained every place carefully.

After the maintenance is completed, the whole piano will look brand new.

On the second day, when Yu Youyao received the Qin from Yin San, she had already arrived in Yuzhong.

Sitting in the Shuiyun Pavilion, she opened the piano case, carefully took out Shaoyu, and played "Three Stacks of Yangguan" again.

The piano that has been re-maintained sounds like weeping and choking.

Next!

Yu Youyao regained her mood and asked Yin San to investigate the Lin's family in Quanzhou and the Yan's in Shuchuan, and asked the steward Ren to sort out all the matters related to the fragrant medicine business.

She herself was not idle.

She carefully read the books on business that her grandmother gave her, and felt that she benefited a lot. Whenever she encounters something she doesn't understand, she writes it down first, and then asks her grandmother for advice.

The family knew that she was going to study business, and her great-grandfather, grandfather, and several uncles and cousins ​​would occasionally give advice when they were free.

Often, Yu Youyao would be enlightened and suddenly enlightened.

After Mrs. Wang took her out to discuss business twice, she made an appointment with Lin Ruoru to meet at the Xianxiang Building under the name of the Xie Mansion.

Yu Youyao took four guards, two wives, Chun Xiao and Yin Shi to the reserved box.

Yin San is good at finding out information, and Yu Youyao knows Lin Yan's family well.

The four guards were well-trained, and they consciously chose places with weak doors, windows, and roofs to guard. The two women guarded the door of the box, and Yin Shi and Chun Xiao followed into the box.

Seeing that Lin Ruoru was already waiting in the box, Yu Youyao was slightly taken aback, then turned to ask Chun Xiao, "What time is it?"

Chun Xiao respectfully replied, "It's a quarter of an hour away."

Yu Youyao nodded.

Lin Ruoru went forward to pay respects to Yu Youyao, and said loudly: "I made an appointment with the county lord at Sishi, the county lord came a quarter of an hour early, and he came later, so if Ruoru has heard the name of the county lord's kindness for a long time, he has long wanted to make friends. That's why I came earlier to show my respect, and I hope the county lord will not be abrupt."

Her voice is clear, but very crisp.

Today is the host of Shaoyi County, and asked her to meet. The owner of Shaoyi County is the host, and she is the guest. According to the etiquette of host and guest, she only needs to come at the appointed time.

It's just that the county lord of Shaoyi was born in a noble family and has a high status, so he should not be neglected.

The etiquette of honor and inferiority comes first, followed by the etiquette of host and guest.

Lin Ruoru arrived half an hour early and waited. On the one hand, she was not sure about County Lord Shaoyi's temperament, so she could only be more cautious, and try not to offend if possible.

On the other hand, Wei Wei has no intention of probing. Although he will not be afraid of County Lord Shaoyi, since he has business to discuss, it is still necessary to feel his temperament.

She deliberately came early to see if County Lord Shaoyi arrived early, at the appointed time, or late.

Sincerity is the first priority in doing business.

Arriving early and arriving late directly reflects the sincerity of the other party.

If you arrive earlier, it means that Shaoyi County Master values ​​etiquette, and also values ​​this meeting very much, without holding on to his identity, this business can be negotiated on an equal footing.

This is the best situation.

If it arrives at the appointed time, as the host, Shaoyi County Mayor will take Joe a little bit, but her status is precious, and taking Joe is not a big deal, and she can deal with it.

The County Lord Shaoyi arrived late, so he not only took advantage of his identity, but also took Qiao. Obviously, he was not a good person to get along with.

Of course, the county lord Shaoyi is also very smart, and after entering the box, after seeing her, he asked the time.

On the surface, County Master Shaoyi seemed to think that he was late, worried that he would lose courtesy and neglect the guests, so he asked the servants around him to confirm the time.
