Tang Dynasty Little Godfather

Chapter 12 Painting a Woman to Quench Thirst
The next morning.

In front of the dressing table.

Wang Xi sat with his eyes closed in front of the dressing table, letting Hua Jie do as she pleased, but his mind was still on his Empress aunt.

This is indeed a very tricky situation.

Because this is an emotional issue, not a political one, but the emperor's emotions are precisely a political issue.

With Empress Wang in trouble, his family is definitely finished.

Unreasonable.

It's true that their rise and fall were both due to their maternal relatives.

"Young master, do you not like me?"

Sister Hua asked cautiously.

Wang Xi asked, "What do you mean?"

Sister Hua said with slight dissatisfaction, "Young Master doesn't even want to look at me properly. He must still be thinking about those four little vixens."

Wang Xi then opened his eyes and smiled, "How could that be? Sister Hua, please don't overthink it. Of all the servants, you are my favorite."

"is it?"

Sister Hua said excitedly.

"Ah."

"I wonder what the young master likes about me?"

"It was Sister Hua who gave me a goal to strive for. Sister Hua didn't see that I got up early this morning to prepare for school."

"Ah? This is all thanks to this servant?"

"of course."

"What are your goals, young master?"

"We're trying to get Zhu Mei Ju Lan back as soon as possible."

".!"

A quarter of an hour later.

Wang Xi came out of the room.

Wang Facai, who was waiting outside the courtyard, said, "Good morning, young master."

"Ah."

"Is young master going to school?"

"Don't follow us, or Teacher Wuming will be unhappy."

"I understand, I understand. The princess already gave the instructions yesterday. However... however, the young master's hair seems a little crooked today."

"Oh dear, I've offended someone I shouldn't have."

Wang Xi shook his head and sighed, then walked out with a crooked handle on his head.

Wang Facai couldn't help but look at Sister Hua who had just come out, and frowned.

Sister Hua said with a wronged expression, "It's all because the young master always makes me angry. Even the princess doesn't treat me like this."

Upon arriving at the academy, just as the gates closed, Wang Shuang jumped up and grabbed Wang Xi, saying, "Brother Que, you're so clever! Yesterday, I tried to trick my father as you taught me, and instead of scolding me, he praised me. This is the first time in so many years that my father has ever praised me."

As he spoke, he became so excited that he almost cried.

"Alright, alright."

Wang Xi pushed him away calmly, "This can't be called lying, we really do intend to brew wine."

Li Jieman said, “But we have also suffered a great loss. My father now speaks highly of Lao Tao. When he heard that Lao Tao wanted us to be self-reliant, he immediately ordered that we not be given a single penny more.”

At this point, he leaned closer and asked, "Brother Que, do you really know how to brew wine? Can you sell it? If you can't sell it, we still won't have any wine to drink!"

Wang Xi said, "Don't worry, we'll take care of this. Don't tell me you don't have any savings, we can manage for a while."

Li Jieman and Wang Shuang both looked at Huangfu Sengnian.

They're both so bad people, they wouldn't have any savings. Only Huangfu Sengnian has a little money.

Huangfu Sengnian asked dejectedly, "Don't you have any?"

All three shook their heads at the same time.

Huangfu Sengnian felt cheated and said helplessly, "My money can only last for two months at most."

"So many?" Wang Xi asked in surprise.

Huangfu Sengnian said, "But we still need to use it sparingly."

"Don't worry, we're staying here all day, there's nowhere to spend money."

Wang Xi then looked at Wang Shuang and asked, "Also, did you bring this person?"

Wang Shuang immediately said, "I brought them. They are all our most loyal retainers, five in total, including an old winemaker who is currently busy working with Old Tao in the backyard."

Tao Mo had previously said to try not to let servants come over, which was of course Wang Xi's order, since Hua Jie and Wang Facai were both the princess's people.

But their own servants or playmates can still come.

However, among them, Wang Shuang had the most followers.

Huangfu Sengnian asked, "Brother Que, where are your men?"

Wang Xi pointed to her hair bun, "See it?"

"Hey? Sparrow, your hair is a little crooked today?"

"Because my servants all have crooked buttocks."

"What do you mean?"

"I don't even have a single loyal servant by my side; they're all spies that my parents planted around me."

"So pitiful."

"Who says it isn't?"

The four chatted as they walked to the backyard, where they saw Tao Mo and a middle-aged man directing four young men to work.

"This humble servant greets Young Master Wang."

Upon seeing Wang Xi, Tao Mo immediately stepped forward and then took out a scroll of bamboo slips. "This is my homework. Please take a look, young master."

He was the only one in the entire college who was studying diligently. There was no other way; he had to cover for all the lies Wang Xi and the others told their parents. If he didn't know anything, it would be disastrous. Seeing this, Li Jieman and Wang Shuang were overjoyed. "We've finally got our revenge!" they thought. "Hahaha!"
"very good."

Wang Xi took it, then took out a piece of silk and handed it to Tao Mo, saying, "This is the brewing technique. You must master it and treat it as your own creation. If anyone notices anything amiss, I will hold you accountable."

"Yes Yes Yes."

Tao Mo bowed and scraped, "I will certainly not let you down, young master."

"keep it up."

Wang Xi patted Tao Mo on the shoulder encouragingly.

Huangfu Sengnian suddenly asked, "Brother Que, you asked us to prepare all these things. How do you plan to brew wine?"

Wang Xi said, "It's a bit too early to drink now. Why don't we do some light exercise instead?"

Li Jie said, "Of course, we want to see for ourselves."

Wang Xi asked, "Which one is the winemaker?"

Wang Shuang immediately waved to the middle-aged man and said, "Old Jiang, come here."

"This humble man, Jiang Cheng, greets Young Master Wang."

The middle-aged man immediately stepped forward and bowed to Wang Xi.

Wang Xi asked, "Have all the yeast I requested arrived?"

"I've brought everything. Please take a look, young master."

Old Jiang led Wang Xi to several earthenware jars containing yeast and some semi-finished products of fermented rice, sorghum, and other foods.

After careful inspection, Wang Xi selected the semi-finished product of fermented rice and said, "Let's try this first."

Then he and Wang Shuang, Li Jieman and the others got busy.

What he actually needed to do was distill spirits, which was not difficult in itself, and for Wang Xi, the former "King of Scrolls," it was something he could do with ease.

Because there were many time-travel dramas in his era, most screenwriters would just copy the scripts from the internet. But as the King of Scripts, he had to strive for perfection. He would consult professionals and conduct on-site investigations and studies for time-travel artifacts.

Those who are perfunctory and slack off at work, even if they work a lot of overtime, cannot be called "kings of shirking their duties".

However, he has no plans to brew any high-quality distilled spirits yet; he's thinking of trying out homemade rural brewing methods first.

Even so, it will still take some time to experiment because of the different equipment. There is no large iron pot here, so for the time being, we can only use a modern cooking utensil called Zhen. Although it is also made of iron, it is very different, and the temperature is difficult to control.

The key to distilled spirits lies in temperature control.

In addition, although the fermented materials are all readily available, they are not homemade, so it is unknown whether they are suitable. These things still need to be explored over time.

Of course, Wang Xi only gave them some instructions on the operating procedures; Lao Jiang and Tao Mo still had to work hard to figure out the specifics.

However, Li Jieman and his group were very enthusiastic about it, finding it much more interesting than reading.

Of course, this enthusiasm only lasted for an hour before he complained of being thirsty.

So the four of them left the work to Tao Mo and the others, and ran to the small house in the backyard.

"what?"

Upon entering the room, Wang Xi suddenly noticed an extra screen inside, on which was painted a lady with bare breasts playing the flute.

"Who brought this here?" Wang Xi couldn't help but ask.

Li Jieman chuckled and said, "This is a painting I had the monk Nian draw. It's not convenient for us to invite courtesans to entertain us right now, so I thought it would be better to just have one painted than for the four of us to sit here doing nothing."

Wang Xi couldn't help but gasp, "Painting women to quench thirst?"

"You could say that, isn't that a brilliant idea? Hehe, I'll sit next to her."

After saying that, Li Jie jumped excitedly and sat down by the screen.

"I'll sit on the other side."

Wang Shuang quickly grabbed a spot as well.

Huangfu Sengnian glanced at the two men, his lips twitching slightly. "If anyone spreads this news, I will sever all ties with them."

What a shame!
He has never lacked female companions.

As the three were talking, they noticed that Wang Xi suddenly fell silent, so they couldn't help but look at him and saw him staring blankly at the painting of a lady.

Li Jieman whispered, "Monk Nian, look, Sparrow seems even more thirsty than me."

Wang Shuang joked, "Brother Que, how long has it been since you've been with a woman?"

Wang Xi was taken aback, then laughed and said, "Don't misunderstand, I just feel that this painting is too subtle and it's hard to get us into the mood. After all, we're not the kind of refined scholars we are."

Wang Shuang exclaimed excitedly, "What treasures does Brother Que have? Show them to us quickly!"

Wang Xi chuckled and said, "I'll paint one, and I guarantee you'll have a great time drinking."

"Can you draw?"

The three of them said in unison.

Wang Xi blinked and said shyly, "Xiaoman knows that my maids were all sent away to my parents a month ago. So I've actually been using the trick of painting women to quench my thirst for a while now, and I've also improved my painting skills in the process."

Wang Shuang asked curiously, "Then we'd like to see for ourselves."

Soon, Wang Xi had someone bring him a piece of white cloth and a charcoal pencil. In no time, he drew a suggestive and seductive picture, the kind that was very modern and could be seen even when going to the toilet.

With her stunningly beautiful face, graceful figure, and sexy attire, the bold and imaginative painting made Li Jieman and his companions drool.

Even Huangfu Sengnian was so shocked that he couldn't speak.

What kind of clothing is this?

Li Jieman couldn't help but reach out and touch those long, slender legs. He was clearly an experienced driver who knew how to appreciate them.

Wang Xi asked with a smile, "Is it slippery?"

"slip!"

"Temptation?"

"lure!"

Li Jieman couldn't help but swallow. "What kind of clothes are these? I've never seen them before. They're really beautiful! Wow!"

It seems sexiness transcends time. I was so foolish, always trying to help my aunt through legitimate means—none of that's my forte. But when it comes to seduction, sexiness, and allure, Wu Jieyu is no match for me. My hard drive is no joke. Li Longji, your old man's sexual happiness is about to arrive. Prostrate yourself before my vast knowledge!

A glint of light flashed in Wang Xi's eyes as he uttered two words, "Black stockings! No, to be more precise, fishnet stockings!"
