Chapter Thirty-seven: A glimmer of hope

"Yes! Mr. Jiang, Mr. Li, please follow me!"

Deng Wenhao led the way and supported Li Yan diligently. Within a moment, he arrived at the wine warehouse on the south side of Jiaofangsi.

As soon as the warehouse door opened, Jiang Chen looked at the countless wine jars, raised his brows, and immediately smiled relaxedly.

Pulling Li Yan into a room, he took out a pencil to draw and asked Li Yan: "Brother Li, have you ever drank wine as clear and transparent as jade dew?"

"Um?"

Li Yan was stunned and asked in surprise: "Is there such a fine wine in the world? Don't try to fool me! Even my brother has drunk grape wine, but it is far from clear and transparent!"

"Today I will let you be the first to drink that unparalleled wine! But you have to go to the palace first and ask Yang Tiju to do me a favor."

Jiang Chen said, while handing over the drawn drawings, he whispered a few words.

"Okay, okay! Don't worry, dear brother, everything will be taken care of by my brother!"

After hearing this, Li Yan nodded excitedly, carefully put the drawings into his arms, and quickly left the Jiaofang Division with his two followers.



An hour later, Li Yan appeared in front of Jiang Chen panting with Yang Jian, followed by a large group of soldiers who followed Yang Jian in construction and worked as coolies.

Without waiting for Jiang Chen to stand up and salute, Yang Jian couldn't wait to ask: "Jiang Zuolang, what you asked Li Yan to tell me are all true? Can you really brew wine as good as nectar?"

"I've seen Yang Tiju!"

Jiang Chen bowed 'respectfully' and then asked: "Have you prepared what I want?"

"Of course it's ready! Ten sets in total! There are plenty of other things too."

Yang Jian said and waved his hand, and immediately several bullock carts covered with oilcloth were driven over.

"Okay! Yang Tiju, ask someone to move everything into the wine warehouse and select some trustworthy people to come in and help me! This method is difficult to understand but easy to learn. You must not let it out!"

Jiang Chen said and walked into the wine warehouse first.

"Don't worry, these are my confidants (their family members are all in my hands), they are absolutely trustworthy!"

Seeing Jiang Chen's cautious words, Yang Jian became even more excited. He also walked into the wine warehouse and started making distilled wine with Jiang Chen.



They were in full swing here, but Wang Wen, Wang Zhen and others in the Jiaofang Department were uneasy.

"Why did Yang Tiju bring so many soldiers here? Could it be that they are trying to harm us?"

Wang Bing had no official position and was the first to become weak.

"No! Although Yang Tiju is deeply favored by the officials, he dare not offend the public. What's more, there is fourth brother Cai here!" As Wang Wen spoke, he poured a glass of wine for Cai Sui with a flattering look on his face.

.

After Cai Sui drank, he said proudly: "You can just drink in peace! Then even if Yang Jian wants to help Jiang Chen vent his anger, he can only retreat when he sees me here."

"That's right, that's right! If Yang Tiju wins the favor of the officials, he will not act based on Prime Minister Cai's face."

"That's right! Let alone Yang Tiju, even if Jiang Chen invites the gods, he can't break this deadlock.

After seven days, when his wife is sent to the Jiaofang Department, I will... I will first serve Brother Cai as a filial piety."

When Wang Bing and Wang Wen saw Cai Suan as their guarantee, they immediately felt at ease. While trying to flatter themselves, they began to look forward to it with malicious intent.

"Hahaha... I hope his wife is not a dominatrix!"

Cai Sui was very comfortable being licked by the two Wang brothers, but being cautious by nature, he still sent his followers to inquire about the situation, wanting to see what kind of medicine Yang Jian and Jiang Chen were selling in the gourd.

But it was a pity that the entire Sinan Courtyard of the Jiaofang, including the shop that sold drinks, was tightly guarded by Yang Jian's people. Until Jiang Chen and Yang Jian came to the palace in a carriage, Cai Sui and others did not make any inquiries.



In the palace, in the garden of Ciyuan Palace!

Song Huizong was using the sketch he learned from Jiang Chen to paint Concubine Liu Guifei, the most beautiful woman in the harem, when he saw Li Yan and Jiang Chen walking over without looking back.

He immediately put down his pen and said with an expectant smile: "Jiang Zuolang, Yang Daban said that you have another amazing treasure to dedicate to me. Is this true?"

"Um……"

Jiang Chen raised his head slightly, looked at Song Huizong with a smile and said: "The official family, actually speaking of offering is not accurate enough. To be more precise, it should be selling! The minister is here to sell wine to the official family and the imperial concubine!"

On the way, Yang Jian told Jiang Chen that when Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty was bored, he liked to play "Cosi Pulley" in the palace and wander around as a hawker to find the little palace maids to sell things.

So he listened to Yang Jian's suggestion that he should offer it for sale and do whatever he wanted.

"Selling alcohol?"

The smile on Song Huizong's face disappeared immediately. He turned his head and looked at Yang Jian who entered the palace first to present the invitation and said, "The treasure you are talking about is wine?"

"That's right! Jiang Zuolang's wine is indeed a treasure! I guarantee that the officials have never seen or heard of it!" Yang Jian smiled and nodded.

"Oh? Is there any wine in this world that I haven't seen before?"

Song Huizong was immediately interested, and while beckoning Jiang Chen to come closer, he asked with a smile: "I wonder what the reputation of Jiang Zuolang's wine is? And how to sell it?"

"Let's not talk about how to sell it. The officials and the imperial concubine should inspect the goods first."

As Jiang Chen spoke, he opened the wine jar and poured a glass of wine for Song Huizong and Concubine Liu. At the same time, he used the corner of his eye to look at the legendary most beautiful woman in the harem.

As a result, I was almost blinded by the beauty,

This Concubine Liu is not only comparable in appearance to the arrogant Liu Mingjie, but her temperament is more noble and gorgeous. She also exudes countless charms and charms. She is simply a beauty in the world.

No wonder a commoner woman became the favorite of the harem in a short period of time, just because of her face!

Jiang Chen secretly praised him in his heart, but at the same time, his hands trembled due to a brief daze.

Immediately, the wine, as clear as rain and dew, overflowed from the cup in front of Concubine Liu.

this……

"Is this wine?"

Song Huizong was stunned; Concubine Liu's radiant and pretty face was also full of disbelief.

Jia Xiang, the eunuch who delivered the order, saw him and loyally went up and said: "Guan family, let this old slave come and taste the bar for you."

"No need!"

Song Huizong shook his head, picked up the wine glass in front of him, took a sniff, and said with a drunken look on his face: "I can trust Xiao Jiang Aiqing!"

After that, he raised his head and did it in one gulp!

"The official family..."

Yang Jian's eyelids jumped in shock, and he added in a low voice: "You can't drink this wine like this."

Concubine Liu Guifei saw that Zhao Ji's whole face was wrinkled together, and her pretty face turned pale with fright. She hurriedly stepped forward to support Zhao Ji, and asked with concern: "What's wrong with you, official? Don't scare me, my concubine."

Jia Xiang, on the other hand, got angry and shouted: "Jiang Chen, you dare to poison the official family, it is an unforgivable crime! Come here, capture this thief for me!"

As he finished speaking, Liang Shicheng and a large group of eunuchs rushed towards Jiang Chen.

But just when they were about to touch Jiang Chen's body, Song Huizong suddenly shouted with great excitement: "Good wine! It's really good wine! This wine is comparable to the sweet spring jade dew, it is indeed a rare treasure!"
