"liquor?"
Cheng Susu and Cheng Tianlin originally thought it was just clear water, but they were a little surprised when they saw that Cheng Xun was full of praise.
It seems that in order to please the fourth prince, his father even referred to water as wine!
However, this has never been his old man's style!
"Dad, this is obviously clear water!"
"Although eldest brother is indeed a good person, we can't tell lies with our eyes open!"
"Isn't this the principle of doing things that your old man has repeatedly warned his son?"
It was Cheng Tianlin who was such a simple and honest boy that he couldn't stand it any longer, so he couldn't help but speak to Cheng Xun.
Cheng Xun had a childish and ridiculous expression: "Who said this is clear water?"
"Please give it a try. This is obviously a top-notch wine!"
"May I ask, Your Highness, how on earth did you obtain such fine wine?"
Song Huan smiled and said: "Two words, purify!"
Daliang's brewing technology is relatively backward, and the sorghum wine brewed is always very turbid and contains many impurities.
Even the top daughter's red in the palace has a faint yellow tint, and it is impossible to achieve such a clear texture!
It was the middle of winter, and Song Huan originally wanted to purify some good wine and drink it at the tribute ceremony.
So, he ordered people to find some bottles and jars and made a homemade distiller.
Then I bought some high-quality sake from the market, and after secondary processing in the distiller, the sake produced was actually a little clearer than the clear springs in the mountains!
People of this era were accustomed to crudely made low-alcohol wine, but they had never seen such a clear spring-like wine without any impurities.
It is human nature to mistake fine wine for water for a moment!
Cheng Susu and Cheng Tianlin, look at me and I look at you.
Seeing that Cheng Xun was full of praise for this and Song Huan smiling calmly, the two decided to try it first before talking!
"this……"
The eyes of both of them showed endless wonder and surprise!
Immortal brew in the world, nothing more than that!
Unexpectedly, this thing that looks like clear water is actually a bit more fragrant than the top-grade daughter's red!
All the gluttons in Cheng Tianlin's stomach were aroused. After one cup, he was not satisfied enough, so he quickly filled up another cup for himself.
"Good wine, good wine!"
"Brother, I really didn't expect that you can even make wine!"
"This wine should only be found in heaven!"
Cheng Susu drank a glass, and her face was already a little red.
She raised her head and glanced at Song Huan quickly, the admiration and admiration in her eyes ready to come out!
She also did not expect that the fourth prince who was once the least favored by others would turn out to be a treasure boy that no one had ever discovered.
This time, I really found a treasure!
Seeing that everyone was shocked, Song Huan smiled and said: "I ordered people to brew several large vats and keep them in the house, just to entertain the Xia envoys at the tribute ceremony."
"If my father-in-law likes to drink, I'll just send someone to bring some over when I go back."
Upon hearing that this wine was for the exclusive use of Xia State envoys, Cheng Xun's expression changed and he quickly placed the cup in his hand on the table.
"Weak ministers dare not overstep their bounds!"
"Since it is specially made for the tribute ceremony, I am truly lucky to be able to taste it first."
Song Huan knew Cheng Xun's stubborn temper, so he didn't insist anymore: "Okay, then I will send wine to my father-in-law after the tribute ceremony is over."
"The dumplings are all sticky, please use your chopsticks quickly!"
Snow was falling outside the window, and a few people gathered around the dining table, which was particularly warm.
…
"At the end of the year, the yin and yang rush to shorten the scene, and the frost and snow in the sky are cold at night."
"Winter comes very early this year!"
"It is truly an honor to cook tea with you around the stove and enjoy the snowy scenery with your Majesty the Grand Master!"
Taishi Mansion, in the study.
Academician Chen Zilin stretched out his hand to stroke the beard on his chin and couldn't help but sigh.
Shangguan Yi sat behind the desk and lamented: "Master Chen has great literary talents and is well-spoken. He is actually the number one scholar in Wenyuan Pavilion."
"If Mr. Huang Denghuang were to see such a beautiful snow scene, he would be like Mr. Chen, holding a cup and composing poems!"
When Shangguan Yi mentioned Huang Deng, Chen Zilin quickly put down the teacup in his hand and sighed softly.
"well!"
"Among our bachelors, Mr. Huang is the most talented."
"His poems are just and awe-inspiring, just like his life. He misses the king and the country, and always cares about the country and the country!"
"Speaking of which, I am more than ten years older than Mr. Huang, so I can be considered half of Mr. Huang's teacher."
"Now that Mr. Huang is gone, every time I think of this, I feel extremely sad and uneasy!"
Speaking of sadness, Chen Zilin did not forget to raise his hand to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes.
Seeing Chen Zilin's sadness, Shangguan Yi also choked up.
"Sir Huang is truly the pillar of our Daliang Kingdom. He should be your Majesty's mirror!"
"It's a pity that Mr. Huang passed away without any explanation."
"It was really an injustice for him to go!"
"I remember that Mr. Huang probably has a grandson waiting to be fed, right?"
When Shangguan Yi said this, Chen Zilin's eyes flashed with anger for a moment.
"Master Huang shouldn't have gone so unclearly!"
"He is obviously the first person who dares to speak out in front of the emperor!"
"If it hadn't been for Prince Rong's arrogant words, Mr. Huang would not have been angry to death!"
"Ouch!" Shangguan Yi pretended to be frightened, quickly looked around a few times, lowered his voice and said, "Master Chen!"
"Be careful what you say!"
"This cannot be said easily!"
"Master Chen, haven't you heard of it yet?"
"A few days ago, a few officials just casually said a few words related to Prince Rong, but they were overheard by Prince Rong himself."
"What kind of person is Prince Rong? He is the most favored person in the imperial court today!"
"When he heard those people talking, Prince Rong immediately ordered them to slap themselves!"
"I slapped them until they vomited blood, but I didn't let them stop!"
"There are some elderly adults who even lost two of their front teeth..."
Chen Zilin frowned: "I have indeed heard about this, but I didn't expect it to be so bad!"
"It seems that Prince Ta Rong is used to being the only one who thinks he is the only one, so he is dissatisfied with Mr. Huang's blunt remonstrance!"
"Having such a prince is really a disaster for me!"
Shangguan Yi lamented: "Master Chen, please stop talking."
"You are a veteran of Wenyuan Pavilion in Daliang, and you are highly respected!"
"I'm really scared. If you offend Prince Rong again, who knows what kind of end you will end up with?"
"I, Liang, only have a few loyal ministers who dare to advise His Majesty. If something unexpected happens to you, I really can't imagine the consequences..."
"Therefore, Mr. Chen, please take good care of your body and never let me, Daliang, lose another highly respected veteran!"
