471. New Year's Eve - home and everything(1/2)

The Jin Wu guard who was guarding the gate knew that Zhu Xiuyuan was justly favored and was the most popular person around Chen Huang and Concubine You!

Naturally, he did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly went to inform the eunuch who was specifically responsible for this matter that Zhu Xiuyuan came to the palace to ask for an audience with His Majesty and brought two large jars of fine wine.

The eunuch was also afraid of Zhu Xiuyuan's name, so he did not dare to neglect and immediately conveyed it to the eunuch beside Chen Huang...

Emperor Chen and Concubine You were having fun in the artificial hot spring.

Emperor Chen once ordered that no one was allowed to come and disturb him.

However, the person who came to see him was the famous person next to Emperor Chen! If he was not informed, if His Majesty blamed him, the eunuch would not be able to bear the consequences and walk away.

Everyone in the palace knows Emperor Chen's favor towards Zhu Xiuyuan better than anyone else...

After a battle between heaven and man, the eunuch decided to risk his life to report the matter.

He walked to the door of the artificial hot spring, held down his heart that was beating wildly, took a deep breath, and shouted to the door: "Your Majesty, the imperial concubine, Uncle Jiang Cheng is asking for an audience outside the palace gate.

I brought two large jars of fine wine!"

The little eunuch didn't dare to say anything more and just named the key points in one sentence. He was afraid that if he talked too much and didn't get to the point, Emperor Chen would get angry and order someone to beat him to death.

"Oh? The wine Zhu Aiqing is carrying should be the kind of wine he mentioned in the past... Take the person to Qin'an Palace first, and serve him well, don't neglect him!"

The person who answered the question in the artificial hot spring was Concubine You.

"Slave, you obey!"

The eunuch was already sweating profusely. After receiving the order, he fled from here.

Fortunately, he made the right bet!

It seems that Uncle Jiang Cheng is indeed extraordinary in the eyes of His Majesty and the Imperial Concubine.

This eunuch dared to guarantee his life with his head. If he were an ordinary official seeking an audience outside the palace, and he risked his life and came here to complain...he would definitely be beaten to death!

This kind of thing has never happened before.

But Uncle Jiang Cheng is different...



An hour later.

I wish Xiuyuan to leave the palace.

There was a smile on his face that had not faded for a long time.

Success!

This time he entered the palace, he was a great success!

Not surprisingly, Emperor Chen was very fond of Zhenjiu, while Concubine You highly praised Jade Wine!

Moreover, Emperor Chen also decided to use Zhenjiu and Jade wine to replace the royal wine at the New Year's Day banquet in a few days' time for the officials!

This is truly a top publicity opportunity!

Because the New Year's Day banquet is of unprecedented scale, not only senior officials in the capital will attend, but senior officials and nobles from all over the country will also be invited...

In other words, the New Year’s Day banquet is open to the whole country!

The benefits of this are unimaginable!

Zhu Xiuyuan immediately rushed back home and went straight to the brewing workshop to urge the workers to prepare Zhenjiu and Jade wine quickly and reserve enough quantity for the New Year's Day banquet...

He was busy until it got dark.

My father-in-law finished handling the government affairs and went home.

Dong Shuyu also made arrangements for the tea house during the festival and returned home early.

Dong Shuzhen was coaxed to sleep by him all afternoon, and now she got up.

It was dinner time, and the family gathered in the flower hall of the main house to prepare for dinner.

Boom!

Boom!

Before the meal, Zhu Xiuyuan placed two small wine jars on the table and made two soft noises.

My father-in-law, Dong Cheng, and Dong Shuyu have been running around all day today, and they still don’t know the news about the successful blending of these two fine wines.

Therefore, when they saw Zhu Xiuyuan raising two wine jars, they felt a little strange, and their eyes couldn't help but fall on these two wine jars.

The wine jars are big in size and have a piece of red paper pasted on them. One jar has the words "Zhenjiu" written on it, and the other jar has the name "Jade Wine" written on it.

After Dong Shuyu read these four words, his face changed. He glanced at Zhu Xiuyuan vaguely, then withdrew his gaze, lowered his head, and his face gradually turned red, as if he was drunk.

A "Zhenjiu", a "Jade Wine"...

This meaning is too obvious!

In addition, Dong Shuyu has a delicate mind and is extremely smart. How could she not understand the meaning of these two wine names!

Zhu Xiuyuan put her and her sister Dong Shuzhen in the same position...

Father-in-law Dong Cheng was also stunned for a moment, his eyes turning slightly between Zhu Xiuyuan and his two daughters.

Seeing his eldest daughter blushing shyly, he vaguely understood something.

However, he didn't say anything. After looking around for a while, he stopped looking around and asked as if he didn't know anything, "Xian son-in-law, these two kinds of wine..."

Dong Cheng wanted to call out the names of "Zhenjiu" and "Yujiu", but... he felt vaguely unable to say them out.

"Are these two wines the fine wines you are brewing these days? Are you finally successful?"

"Father-in-law, after working for more than ten days, the brewing is finally completed. Today is just the right time. I invite my father-in-law and Shuyu to taste it."

Zhu Xiuyuan looked calm. He opened the seal of Zhenjiu and poured wine for everyone himself.

As the cover was opened, a burst of wine aroma spread out. The aroma of the wine was no longer that of the original wine, but better.

"good!"

Dong Cheng held the wine glass and looked at it for a long time, then took a sip and praised: "It is indeed a good wine, not bad, really good, fragrant and strong, and the taste is very good..."

After Dong Cheng took a sip, he fell in love with this wine.

Dong Shuyu blushed and took a small peck. Everyone would get drunk even if they were not drunk, and her face became even more rosy.

Dong Shuzhen was drinking wine while explaining the process of naming Zhu Xiuyuan.

When talking, he can't help but boast and be proud of himself.

She didn't notice that when she said that the word "Zhen" in "Zhenjiu" was taken from her name, both Dong Cheng and Dong Shuyu looked a little unnatural...

Nonsense, of course they already knew that "Zhenjiu" and "Jade Jiu" are derived from the names "Dong Shuzhen" and "Dong Shuyu".

A discerning person can see it at a glance.

Do you still need her to explain proudly here?

The reason why Zhu Xiuyuan chose these two wine names is because of their meaning... It is really enough for people to taste carefully and aftertaste!

Dong Shuyu naturally knew what Zhu Xiuyuan was thinking, but after what happened that day, Zhu Xiuyuan became more and more unscrupulous, and even hinted at this.

Dong Shuyu was so ashamed that she did not dare to look into the eyes of her sister Dong Shuzhen and her father Dong Cheng.

As for Dong Cheng, it seemed like he was normal on the surface and didn't seem to notice the connection.

However, Dong Cheng was already in a state of anxiety, feeling happy for a while and feeling disappointed for a while...

But for Zhu Xiuyuan, as long as Dong Shuyu didn't hide his face and run away, and his father-in-law didn't scold him harshly, then he was taking the right step.

He secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Dong Shuzhen, on the other hand, was still so smug and bragging about having a nice wine name. She seemed not to have discovered the meaning of these two wine names at all.

After everyone finished tasting Zhenjiu, Zhu Xiuyuan patted the seal of Jade Wine open.

In an instant, a strong and indissoluble aroma of wine spread out. It was a very mild aroma, not overpowering at all. Just smelling this smell, the corners of everyone's mouths could not help but raise slightly.

This is a pleasant scent!

"Dad, sister, let me tell you, this is 'Jade Wine'..."

Dong Shuzhen became excited again and took the initiative to introduce the characteristics of jade wine and the story of how it got its name...

After my father-in-law tasted this wine, he repeatedly praised it as a good wine, but he obviously preferred Zhenjiu.

Dong Shuyu, on the other hand, sipped it carefully and even closed his eyes to savor it carefully.

This wine is "Jade Wine", and the name Jade Wine is derived from her name...

Drinking this wine always makes her feel particularly friendly.

What's more, this kind of wine is very pleasing to women. It tastes mellow and soft, with a hint of sweetness...

So Dong Shuyu fell in love with this kind of wine instantly. He held the wine glass in both hands and kept sipping it.

What she drinks is not wine, but sweetness!

Although she tried her best to restrain herself from marrying Zhu Xiuyuan, she couldn't help but feel this beauty, just like the new dishes she carefully collected before...
