Qingyuezhai is an old wine shop in Suchang. It has been passed down from generation to generation and has a history of many years.
People in Suchang City only remember that this old winery has been the most prestigious winery in Suchang since the grandfather's grandfather.
But now Qing Yuezhai seems to be in some trouble. Xu Songtu and Gu Sanyue walked through the crisscrossed alleys and gradually approached an old house.
That room that doesn't look much different from other houses is Qing Yuezhai. The reason why it was given such an elegant name is because it is said that a famous poet from Jingyu Kingdom once drank here and was full of praises. The name mentioned, so far
The plaque of "Qingyue Zhai" is still hanging in the lobby. Before Gu Sanyue got close to that room, he vaguely heard what seemed to be noisy noises coming from inside the room.
Then there was the sound of a ceramic bowl breaking to the ground. Xu Songtu naturally noticed it, so he was a little surprised.
The sound sounded like a wine jar hitting the ground. Is this someone making trouble in the wine shop?
Thinking of this, Xu Songtu's face gradually turned cold. People in a small town would not do such a thing. If anyone were to cause trouble, it would be those so-called Jianghu people who came here to join the sect.
It's just that this sect is the foundation of Master Xu Songtu. If this incident causes chaos in the small town, wouldn't it be ruining the reputation of the sect?
Xu Songtu couldn't bear this kind of thing. So he quickened his pace and walked into the room, followed closely by Gu Sanyue.
As soon as he entered the lobby of the house, Gu Sanyue immediately smelled a strong smell of alcohol. The ground was a mess, with both wine and broken wine jars. It was very messy.
In a corner of the lobby, there was a man with his back to the door, making a loud noise, and seemed to be yelling at the corner.
The man was so angry that his body was trembling, and his tone was very unkind. Seeing this, Xu Songtu hurriedly walked up and asked: "Uncle Yi, why is your winery like this? Are you in any trouble? Is someone making trouble inside? If someone is making trouble, just tell me and I will never forgive him!" The man with his back to the door was startled by Xu Songtu's voice. He quickly turned around and saw that it was Xu Songtu. Surprised, he rolled his eyes and said quickly: "It's okay, it's just a trivial matter, don't bother the immortal." It turned out that this man was Yi Chen, the owner of Qing Yuezhai.
As soon as he saw Xu Songtu, his eyes became a little panicked, and he walked a little further into the corner, as if he was covering something in the corner.
Xu Songtu was curious, so he walked forward and asked, "Are you really okay? When I just walked over, I seemed to hear the sound of a quarrel. Also, why were so many wine jars smashed in your winery? ?" Yi Chen lowered his head and thought for a moment, then said in a panic: "No, the Immortal must have heard wrong. As for this wine jar, I accidentally broke it today because my hands were slippery. It's such a pity. . I'll clean up later, it's nothing serious." This acting was too clumsy. Xu Songtu didn't understand what was going on here, so naturally he didn't want to leave, so he pretended to watch the wine and continued to walk into the house. .
Yi Chen kept standing in the corner, staring at Xu Songtu's footsteps. Xu Songtu pointed to a jar of wine and asked, "Uncle Yi, how do you sell this wine?" Yi Chen stood still and said in a panic: "Two taels of silver per jar. If you want to sell it individually, then ten copper coins per jar." Two. If Xu Xianchang likes it, I will give it to him. How about it?" Xu Songtu shook his head and said, "I don't drink much. When I buy wine from you, I have to give it away. Uncle Yi, I won't beat around the bush. , just tell me which is the best and most expensive wine here." Yi Chen paused for a moment, pointed to a jar of wine in a red ceramic jar on the wine rack, and said, "That one, that one Best, ten taels of silver per jar, Immortal Immortal, just take it." Xu Songtu approached the wine jar, smelled it, frowned and said, "Uncle Yi, are you sure this wine is the best? I remember Your best wine should be hidden in the wine cellar, right? I can just drink it myself. The key point is that I buy wine to give to others. That person is very picky about drinking. If the wine is not good, it will not ruin my friendship with them. "?" Yi Chen frowned and became embarrassed, Xu Songtu took the opportunity to say again;
"Uncle Yi, why don't you take me to the wine cellar? Don't worry, no matter how expensive the wine is, I will buy it. I can still afford it." Yi Chen swallowed, looking very embarrassed. .
At this time, Xu Songtu had already walked not far in front of Yi Chen. He stretched his neck to look behind Yi Chen and asked, "Uncle Yi, there seems to be something behind you? What is that?" Yi Chen Shen's face turned red and he was about to quibble. Suddenly, a figure in red jumped out from behind him and ran to Xu Songtu, looking at him with wide curious eyes.
Xu Songtu thought that Yi Chen was trying to hide something, but he was shocked when the thing he was covering up turned out to be a living person.
But fortunately, he was calm when things happened, and his face was still calm at this time, so he looked very enigmatic.
When Xu Songtu took a closer look, he realized that the figure in red turned out to be a girl of thirteen or fourteen years old.
The little girl had peach cheeks and almond-shaped eyes, and her face was round and as red as an apple. She was very close to Xu Songtu and was looking at him curiously.
Xu Songtu asked quickly: "Uncle Yi, who is this?" Yi Chen looked at the little girl who rushed out, his face darkened, and he said angrily: "This is my daughter, her name is Yi Weilan, she is fourteen years old this year. "Yi Weilan nodded heavily, indicating that Yi Chen was right.
Xu Songtu was a little confused now. Since she is Yi Chen's daughter and she is not a shameful person, why did he hide Yi Weilan from himself before?
What kind of tricks are these father and daughter playing? Xu Songtu asked Yi Chen directly: "Uncle Yi, since she is your daughter, why did you deliberately hide her from us just now?" Seeing Xu Songtu opening the skylight to speak frankly, Yi Chen sighed and said: "Oh, what is supposed to come will come. God is really going to end my inheritance of Qing Yuezhai!" Xu Songtu was even more confused and asked, "Where do you start talking about this?" Yi Chen glanced helplessly at his own My daughter said, "Oh, it's not because you want to build a sect."
"Our Qingyue Zhai has been passed down from our ancestors to today, relying on the inheritance of family incense from generation to generation. It has been more than four hundred years now. I am just a daughter, and our family is not short of money. I originally wanted to I want to recruit a son-in-law to come in and help our Yi family run this winery. The incense of our Yi family will not be cut off in my generation. But..." He said sadly: "But my daughter has been growing up since she was a child. I just like things like wielding knives and guns. When I was young, I didn’t pay much attention to her. I didn’t care about her, but now, I always think about martial arts every day, and I don’t even have the slightest thought about brewing. Until recently. , doesn’t Chief Fang want to build a sect in Bailiang Mountain? My daughter wants to go up the mountain to become a member of the sect. I have heard a long time ago that people who enter the sect of the Immortal Family can no longer interact with the secular world. There are too many connections. If my daughter goes up the mountain, how will Qingyue Zhai continue to operate after I die?" Yi Weilan puffed up her cheeks, looked at her father Yi Chen displeased, and said : "Dad, you can just find an apprentice. From now on, this wine shop belongs to that apprentice, so you can keep it open, right?" Reading Yi Chen opened his eyes wide, looked at Yi Weilan angrily, and said resolutely: " No! This is an inheritance passed down by our ancestors. If it is handed over to others, how can I have the honor to meet the ancestors of the Yi family! Weilan, this is absolutely not possible. The craftsmanship of our Yi family cannot be passed on to outsiders. !" Yi Weilan was also angry. She was not very old, but she said quite tactfully: "Didn't you say you wanted to recruit a son-in-law? Just accept an apprentice. At the worst, I will marry him, so he won't I am considered an outsider. Anyway, I just want to go up the mountain to practice. Dad, you can’t stop me!" Yi Chen was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, and said coldly: "Nonsense! How can a girl get married so carelessly! Besides, you How can you meet your husband when you go up the mountain?" Yi Weilan didn't care and said, "If you don't see me, then I'll see you. Anyway, it's just a status relationship, and I'm not really marrying him. I'll marry him if I want. You want to marry a monk on the mountain, not a layman." Yi Chen's face turned livid, he pointed at Yi Weilan, his voice trembled with anger, and said: "You...you, Yi Weilan, I really raised you in vain! "Xu Songtu looked at the farce between the father and daughter and felt very uncomfortable, so he said: "Miss Yi, going up the mountain to practice is not as simple as you think. You can't just go up the mountain if you want to, you have to be qualified. Only when it's appropriate." At this point, Yi Weilan smiled proudly and said playfully: "Of course I know this, but you may not know it yet, Xu Xianchang. When your master Fang Xianchang first came to Suchang, he helped me After seeing the qualifications, he said they were pretty good, enough to enter the sect. When I go up the mountain and start practicing, I will often come to play with you." Xu Songtu curled his lips and frowned.
Put it this way, I really don’t know how to calculate this confusing account. In fact, Xu Songtu personally felt that it was best for Yi Weilan not to go up the mountain.
The little girl was at a rebellious age, so she didn't care what her father said. In fact, it would be a pity to make the family unhappy because of being a monk.
Besides, people at the girl's age don't understand the importance of family inheritance, so it's definitely not possible to talk to her about these big principles.
Yi Weilan is now obsessed with going up the mountain to become a monk. In fact, it is not easy to dissuade Xu Songtu. After all, it is the little girl who wants to make progress, but she goes up the mountain. What should Qing Yuezhai and Yi Chen do?
Gu Sanyue also looked sad and didn't know how to deal with this kind of thing. Yi Chen's face turned red. He looked at Yi Weilan and Xu Songtu for a long time. Finally, he seemed to be discouraged. He let out a long sigh, turned his head away, turned his back to everyone, and said feebly: "Forget it, I will too." I'm old and can't control you anymore. You can go as you like. Weilan, if you insist on going up the mountain, I won't stop you, but from now on, I will treat you as not a member of my Yi family." Yi Weilan heard this first Yi Chen breathed a sigh of relief and was overjoyed, but he then said that if he went up the mountain, he would break off the relationship, which made the little girl pout again in anger.
She also had a stubborn temper and refused to give in at all. She shouted at Yi Shen: "Huh, forget it if you don't want me! Don't wait until you go up the mountain. From today on, I won't go home!" After that, Yi Wei Lan glanced at the wine shop with hatred, raised his feet and ran outside, disappearing into the scattered alleys after a while.
Yi Chen paused for a moment, but still did not look back, but in Gu Sanyue's view, this figure suddenly looked much older.
Xu Songtu shook his head helplessly and said to Yi Chen: "Uncle Yi, I will advise Master and Yi Weilan when I get back. Don't worry too much." Yi Chen was silent for a long time before saying;
"Then I would like to thank Xu Xianzhang. If you can keep my daughter, I will be very grateful." Xu Songtu nodded and said: "I will try my best." Gu Sanyue still remembered to buy wine for Xu Huaigu, so he asked: " Shopkeeper, can you sell us a jar of good wine?" Yi Chen turned around and looked at Gu Yuyue, nodded and said: "Of course, you come to the wine cellar with me, I have a jar of the best fairy wine that I have collected for many years, I will give it to you. You two, I should treat this as a thank you gift." Gu Sanyue thanked him, and Yi Shen, hunched over, slowly took a step forward and walked into the wine cellar while saying, "This is the Qingyue Zhai shop. The last bottle of wine is gone. From tomorrow on, Qingyue Zhai will be closed until Weilan changes his mind." Xu Songtu and Gu Sanyule looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly.
