Wandering among the heavens, learning has no end.

Guanfu.

A servant from the Su family brought Ji Yuan to the Guan residence.

The servant looked at Ji Yuan and said, "Young Master Ji, we've arrived."

Ji Yuan nodded slightly: "You should go back first."

"Yes."

The servants left immediately.

Ji Yuan walked towards the Su residence and knocked on the door.

bang bang.

A moment later, the gate opened, and a young servant asked, "And you are?"

"My name is Ji Yuan. Please inform the family that I am looking for Patriarch Guan."

Ji Yuan clasped his hands in a fist salute and said.

"Hold on."

The servant immediately turned around and went back to report.

Not long after, the servant returned and invited Ji Yuan into the mansion.

The servants led Ji Yuan to the main hall.

Inside the lobby, an elderly man was enjoying tea.

The servants led the person away.

Ji Yuan looked at the old man and clasped his hands in greeting: "Patriarch Guan."

The old man smiled and pointed to the seat next to him: "Sit down. Your grandfather and I used to know each other. No need to be polite. Just call me Grandpa Guan."

"Thank you, Grandpa Guan."

As Ji Yuan spoke, she sat down on the side.

"Why did you come to see me?"

"Old Master Guan asked."

"I want to study medicine."

Ji Yuan replied.

"Study medicine? Haha, okay, I agree. I can teach you myself, but I want a jar of century-old peach blossom wine as your tuition fee."

Grandpa Guan stroked his beard and said.

"Shuxiu" means tuition.

As for the peach blossom wine that Grandpa Guan mentioned, it is a type of wine brewed using the Ji family's unique technique.

The Ji family was able to establish itself in Jinling and become the Ji family of Jinling, not because of the Ji family's three unique skills.

The Ji family's three unique skills are top secret.

The Ji family's foundation lies in its unique brewing techniques.

Among them, the best wine of the Ji family is a fine wine called Peach Blossom Wine.

The longer this wine is stored, the more fragrant and mellow it becomes. It is not strong and has a smooth taste with a hint of sweetness. Most remarkably, even the most sluggish drinker will not get too drunk after drinking it.

Those who drink this wine are in a state of being neither fully drunk nor fully sober, which is extremely peculiar.

It was through their unique brewing techniques that the Ji family was able to establish themselves in Nanjing.

Upon hearing what Grandpa Guan said, Ji Yuan immediately agreed, "Alright, I will bring the wine tomorrow."

"Ah."

Grandpa Guan nodded with a smile.

Ever since the Ji family ran into trouble and all the Ji family's wine that was stored at home was gone, he had been craving a taste of it.

Teaching Ji Yuan medical skills in exchange for a jar of century-old peach blossom wine is a worthwhile investment.

He had barely tasted the century-old peach blossom wine.

He estimated that the Ji family probably didn't have much of the century-old peach blossom wine they had hidden away.

In fact, he guessed wrong.

……

After leaving the Guan residence, Ji Yuan did not rush back to the Su residence, but instead went to the Ji residence first.

Ji Yuan returned to the Ji residence and went to his original room.

Reaching the bedside, he reached under the bed and fiddled with a mechanism. The next second, the bed panels of Ji Yuan's bed unfolded to both sides, revealing a secret passage leading downwards.

Below is the Ji family's basement, which could also be described as a treasure room.

Many important items and treasured peach blossom wine are stored in the basement.

The entrance to this basement was not located in the master's room, but rather in the room where each successive young master lived.

Ji Yuan walked down to another door with a mechanism. He opened the mechanism and entered a room.

A desk was placed in front of him.

Behind the desk was a wall of bookshelves. The books on the shelves were not just randomly placed, but contained techniques and recipes for brewing wine, as well as books written by generations of the Ji family patriarchs.

The book usually contains insights into winemaking.

There were also some ledgers and other similar items on the bookshelf.

Ji Yuan walked up to the bookshelf, took out a few books, and the next second, the wall of the bookshelf opened like a door, leading inside.

There are two rooms in this basement.

Upon entering the inner room, Ji Yuan saw a mountain of wine jars.

These wines were accumulated by the Ji family over many years.

In the other corner, there were some boxes.

Ji Yuan once came to see it; it was full of gold bars.

However, the box is now empty, and he naturally put the gold bars into the system space.

To be honest, the Ji family is really honest; they don't deal in any jewelry, just gold bars.

He likes it that way; he's a common man who loves gold.

When Ji Yuan first came to the basement, he exclaimed that his adoptive father truly lived up to his reputation.

It contained the Ji family's three unique skills, their exclusive brewing techniques, several boxes of gold bars, and a large collection of fine wines.

Most of these fine wines are century-old vintages.

Even the less desirable ones take more than fifty years.

Those under fifty years old are not eligible to be placed in the basement.

Ji Yuan only regretted that his system space was too small; otherwise, he would have moved all the wine in the basement into his system space long ago.

Although not all of them were moved.

However, Ji Yuan's system space already contains some.

Over the years, I've sent several jars of [something] into the system space, and I've drunk several jars of it.

Since Grandpa Guan wanted some wine, let's come and restock.

Ji Yuan took some more wine with him and quickly left the Ji residence. On his way back, he carried three jars in his hand.

Actually, the wine jars in the basement are all the kind that can be described as vats, they are very large.

However, Ji Yuan's system space contains several wine jars that can be easily lifted with one hand. If he wants to deliver wine, he certainly can't deliver a whole jar at a time, as that would make his wine seem too cheap.

Things are valued for their rarity; even a small jar of century-old fine wine is already quite precious.

In addition, the Ji family always sold wine in small jars, so the jar of wine that Old Master Guan mentioned was actually this small jar.

However, since he was going to learn a technique from someone else, and one small jar seemed a bit too little, he prepared three jars.

Ok……

Actually, there's more wine in the basement than he could drink in a lifetime, but he doesn't care. He can't just squander it all just because he has a lot of wine.

Ji Yuan now feels that the Ji family members probably all share the same idea as him, which is why, over so many generations, the amount of alcohol stored in the basement has been increasing.

……

Su Mansion.

After Ji Yuan returned, Su Xiaoyong immediately came looking for him.

"Brother Ji Yuan, how is it?"

Su Xiaoyong immediately asked.

"Don't worry, Grandpa Guan has already agreed. He said he'll teach me personally."

Ji Yuan held Su Xiaoyong's small hand and squeezed it as he spoke.

"That's wonderful! Grandpa Guan's medical skills are amazing."

Su Xiaoyong was very happy for Ji Yuan.

"You play by yourself for a while, I need to write to my teacher's wife to let her know I'm safe."

As Ji Yuan spoke, he released Su Xiaoyong, went to a desk, took out some stationery, and prepared to write a letter.

Su Xiaoyong immediately followed and helped Ji Yuan grind the ink.

Ji Yuan and Su Xiaoyong exchanged a smile, but did not say thank you.

This happens frequently.

Soon, Ji Yuan wrote a letter to let Qin Po know that she was safe and sound, and prepared to have it sent to the post station, and then ask the post station to deliver the letter to the post station in a town that Qin Po would pass through.
