The fierce peasant woman is busy farming

Seeing his expression, the servant serving beside him also wanted to drink.

Ning Yuanshan knew that the old butler also liked to drink, so he said to him:

"Wait a minute, I'll give you some wine. This is called a beverage, it's not strong."

The old servant nodded and looked at Ning Yuanshan eagerly.

Ning Yuanshan drank apple cider vinegar and pomegranate vinegar in turn.

Finally he picked up one of the three remaining jars labeled "fruit wine," and took three bowls and a spoon.

He gestured to the old butler to hold the other two.

They walked into the hall together.

Then he asked the housekeeper to invite his wife and bring over the jars of fruit vinegar.

Of course good things should be shared with family.

This steward was the dowry steward of Ning Yuanshan's wife. Seeing that the son-in-law was thinking of giving his daughter all the good things, he happily accepted the order and left.

But when the old butler walked into the hall happily holding two jars of fruit vinegar, he regretted his evaluation of Ning Yuancai.

I saw my daughter and son-in-law, each holding a bowl, drinking heartily.

He hurriedly asked the servant to put the jar in his hand on the table, and put down the jar in his own hand as well.

Then he sent the servant away and took the empty bowl himself.

Then he picked up the jar with Taoyao wine written on it and poured himself a bowl.

I took a sip and discovered that it wasn’t sweet at all.

Looking at the color, I thought it was a sweet and sour soup.

I just felt that the wine was like a clear spring, winding down my throat.

What can I say about this wine?

Not spicy, not pungent, not bitter, not sweet, not sour.

After drinking it, you will feel as if you are in a peach forest of a hundred miles, where you can see peach blossoms for ten miles and smell the fruity fragrance.

But how can flowers and fruits appear together?

The old butler was a little tipsy.

Hey, this wine, I didn’t think it was strong at first sip, and before I knew it I had already drunk several bowls.

He realized that something was wrong and that he should not drink too much of this wine.

When I went to see the girl and her husband again, they had already finished two jars of wine and fell asleep on the table.

Alas, these two children are really a cause of worry.

He hurried out to call the maid and the boy, and helped the girl and the son-in-law into the bedroom.

Then he asked the woman in the kitchen to prepare some sobering soup.

After a busy schedule, he woke the couple up, gave them some sobering soup, and asked the maids and servants on duty to take good care of them.

The old butler then carried a jar of wine and returned to his small house.

He didn't order any snacks, just took a handful of raw peanuts and started drinking.

The result was that the next day, the old butler was even drunker than the host and his wife, and did not get up until noon.

I won’t mention how we hired a doctor here, or how we negotiated to continue the wine business after we sobered up.

As for Zhou Yue and his friends, they got up early the next morning, packed their things and went home.

This time, Sun was unable to come to the county due to a leg injury.

She gave the medicinal herbs she had dug to Zhou Yue to take to the county to sell on her behalf.

Zhou Yue told her at the time that she would not make a penny from the price difference.

But the adventitious roots in her medicinal herbs must be removed.

Otherwise, I wouldn’t help her sell the products. It’s because I can’t afford to ruin her reputation.

Sun hesitated for a long time and then agreed.

On the day of leaving, Zhou Yue carefully checked the medicinal herbs that Tao Mo brought with him.

It was completely clean. Not only fake drugs, but even tukara and weeds were not found.

It seems that many things of the Sun family are fake.

Originally, she saved Yang Mo at the critical moment, and Zhou Yue had planned to take her with him no matter what business he did.

Anyway, Sun is a talented person and she will contribute to the Ning family's business.

But seeing how petty she was, he became hesitant.

Especially friends and relatives, we can still get along even if we don’t work together or borrow money from each other.

But once money is involved or you work together for a long time, trouble is likely to arise.

Things smell good from a distance but stink up close. If you don't mention money, it won't hurt your feelings. But once you mention money, it will hurt both the money and the feelings.

It would be better to just hurt one.

With this thought in mind, Zhou Yue came to the county.

Now Mr. Ning took out the money from the sale of Sun's medicinal herbs and gave it to Zhou Yue.

He told her to make it clear to Sun.

Zheng's Pharmacy did this out of consideration for Song Yuan and because the medicinal materials Zhou Yue sent were always of good quality and clean.

Only then did they give this good price and use the most sufficient scale, which was even a few taels more than what Sun weighed himself.

But we can't let Sun think that Zheng's pharmacy will always sell things at this price and weigh them in this way in the future.

This person is greedy and wants to swallow an elephant. It would be better to make it clear in advance to avoid any resentment in the future.

Zhou Yue nodded in agreement.

They loaded their purchases onto the donkey cart and headed home.

In the county town, at the home of County Magistrate Wang.

In the bridal chamber, Wang Jin was filled with gloom and sorrow.

It is said that he is now in good luck in his middle age, with a successful career and a beautiful concubine.

After only half a year in Yi County, he had already earned back the money his family had spent on buying him an official position.

There is still a slight surplus.

When he sent someone to return the money, he unexpectedly received a letter from the patriarch reprimanding him.

They said he was obsessed with money and when he first took office, he only cared about making money.

They say he is short-sighted and unable to handle the heavy responsibility.

It turned out that there was a reason why he failed the imperial examination.

It is said that the people in the family were blind and he was blind-hearted, so they thought of helping him to the position.

They said he would bring disaster to the family and bring shame to the clan members.

Wang Jin was completely confused and bewildered.

He lacked talent and had failed the examinations for many years.

But he was not convinced that he did not know how to deal with people and did not know how to be an official.

He had been immersed in the family's wealth and status since he was a child.

What the family lacks the least is scholars and officials.

He started to learn at the age of three, entered the official school at the age of five, and went to Beijing at the age of ten.

Having always lived with his uncles and aunts, he naturally understood how to be an official through what he saw and heard.

Isn't it just praising the powerful and looking down on the weak, observing people's words and expressions, and currying favor?

He is familiar with all these.

He felt that the patriarch was too cautious.

Their Wang family is a large family with many children, and they have been intermarrying with major families in the Dahui Dynasty for generations.

Between us, you have me in you and I have you in me.

Because their Wang family is a century-old family and is as solid as a rock.

When children serve as officials in various places, they will have their relatives and friends to guide and take care of them.

He was a minor official in this small Yi County, but he was still in a position of power.

Once he is awarded three excellences in the next few years, he can be transferred back to Beijing or sent to the prosperous south.

By then, he will be more than qualified to be an official in Beijing or a prefect.

Therefore, he did not take the patriarch's warning seriously.

The clan leader said that some censors had impeached him.

Although he was indignant.

He was not a wicked person. He did not embezzle disaster relief funds, sell official positions, or form cliques for personal gain...

If they want to impeach, they need evidence.

Holding his young and beautiful concubine, his mood gradually improved.

Let those people in the clan who passed the imperial examination to watch him, he will definitely make some achievements.

Tell all those who used to look down on him to shut up.
