All Hail Cousin Brother

As if being peeped out, the daughter's wine, which had been buried under the osmanthus tree for more than ten years, tasted fragrant, rich in color and mellow in mind...

Yu Youyao panicked in his heart, and quickly raised his glass: "This glass of wine, I wish Langjun a long-distance crossing of Guanjin. After all the hardships, you should cherish and cherish yourself."

After she finished speaking, she sent the wine to her heart.

Yin Huaixi fixedly watched her drink a cup, her face was tinged with a touch of fascination, the smell of wine was in her eyes, and when she smoky water, he sent the wine into his throat, a soft and sweet wisp of sweetness that penetrated into his heart, with a touch of affection. , Densely round, sad and lingering.

The wine-scented person was also slightly drunk, and even his voice was hoarse: "Where did the wine come from?"

Yu Youyao pursed her lips: "After I was born, my mother used three acres of glutinous rice, brewed three pots of daughter red, carefully packaged it and buried it under an old osmanthus tree in the Yuyuan Garden. After my grandmother became seriously ill When I left Beijing, I dug up the wine and brought it to Quanzhou together."

Buried with the wine, there is also a deep love for her daughter.

The longer this love is buried in the ground, the more mellow the wine smells and the deeper the love.

When the daughter is married, the wine is dug up and sent to her husband's house as a dowry gift. According to the rules, the first three bowls of wine scooped from the altar should be presented to the daughter-in-law's father-in-law and her biological father, respectively. As well as her husband, it means praying for a healthy life and a prosperous family.

This is the custom in Shaoxing, Zhejiang.

There is no such custom in Beijing.

The mother knew that she could not accompany her daughter to grow up, so she loved her daughter deeply, brewed it in wine, and sealed it in the ground, wishing her daughter a great future and a bright future.

only!

This wine was dug up before she got married, and it was not easy to bury it again.

Today, to bid farewell to Yin Huaixi, she opened a jar of wine.

"The wine is good, and the people are good, but the timing of drinking is not good," Yin Huaixi chuckled: "Keep the rest of the wine, and drink it when the time is ripe in the future, it should be a different taste."

Yu Youyao looked at him quietly and didn't speak.

This was Meng Lang's words, and Yin Huaixi rubbed his forehead: "Give it to me, Shao Yuqin, and I will give you another maintenance. I want to finish this maintenance, and I won't need to do it again until the next meeting. "

Yu Youyao is not good at guqin maintenance, and he usually helps to maintain Shaoyu qin.

Yu Youyao nodded, carefully put the Shaoyu qin in the box, and held it to Yin Huaixi.

"Tomorrow morning, I'll send someone to take the piano to Xie's residence," Yin Huaixi took it and picked up the wine jar with half of her daughter's wine left on the table: "I'll wait for you!"

After speaking, he strode out of Shuiyun Pavilion.

Yu Youyao looked at his slender and straight back, and felt sad, but because he said "I'll wait for you", it was like eating a green fruit.

When first eaten, the taste is astringent and bitter.

After chewing for a long time, it is fragrant, sweet and has an endless aftertaste.

With licorice and sugar water soaked system, it is sweet and sour, moderately salty and fragrant.

Back home, Yin Huaixi went to the study, took all the tools needed to maintain the guqin, removed the strings and immersed them in tung oil to moisten the strings, lowered the "fire", cleaned the surface, and repainted the lacquer surface...

A maintenance requires more than ten steps.

Every step is very complicated.

However, Yin Huaixi took the trouble and patiently maintained every place carefully.

After the maintenance is completed, the whole piano will look brand new.

On the second day, when Yu Youyao received the qin sent by Yin San, he had already arrived in Yuzhong.

Sitting in the Shuiyun Pavilion, she opened the piano case, took Shaoyu carefully, and played the song "Three Stacks of Yangguan".

The re-maintained qin sounded like weeping and sobbing when played.

Next!

Yu Youyao regained her mood, and asked Yin San to check the Lin family in Quanzhou and the Yan family in Shuchuan, and then explained to the steward Ren, and sorted out the matters related to the fragrance business.

She herself was not idle.

I carefully studied the books about business that my grandmother gave her, and I felt that I benefited a lot.

The family knew that she wanted to study business, and her grandfather and grandfather, as well as several uncles and cousins, occasionally gave advice when they were free.

Often, Yu Youyao was empowered, and the mess opened up.

After taking her out to discuss business twice, Mrs. Wang invited Lin Ruoru to meet at a fairy house under the name of Xie Mansion.

Yu Youyao took four guards, two old ladies, Chun Xiao and Yin Shi to the reserved box.

Yin San is good at inquiring about information, and Yu Youyao knows the Lin Yan family very well.

The four guards were well-trained and consciously selected the weak spots in the doors, windows, and roofs to guard.

Seeing that Lin Ruoru was already waiting in the box, Yu Youyao was stunned for a moment, then turned to ask Chunxiao, "What time is it now?"

Chunxiao replied respectfully, "It's a quarter of an hour from the fashion."

Yu Youyao nodded.

Lin Ruoru stepped forward to greet Yu Youyao and said loudly, "I made an appointment with the county lord to meet him. The county lord came a quarter of an hour earlier, but it will be late in the future. Ruo Ruo has heard the name of the county lord's kindness for a long time, and has long wanted to make friends. Therefore, I came a little earlier to show my respect and hope that the county owner was not abrupt."

Her voice was clear, but very crisp.

Today is the host of Shaoyi County, and ask her to meet. Shaoyi County is the host, and she is a guest. According to the courtesy of the host and the guest, she only needs to come at the appointed time.

However, this Shaoyi County Lord was born into a noble family, and his status was precious, but he could not be neglected.

The honor and the humble are first, and the host and guest are second.

Lin Ruoru arrived half an hour early and waited. On the one hand, he was not sure about the temperament of the county head of Shaoyi, so he could only be cautious. If he could not offend, try not to offend him.

On the other hand, there is no temptation yet, although it is not afraid of the Shaoyi County Lord, but since there is a business to discuss, it is still necessary to touch the temperament.

She deliberately came early to see if the county lord of Shaoyi arrived early, at the appointed time, or late.

In doing business, the first priority is sincerity.

Arriving early and late directly reflects the sincerity of the other party.

If he arrives early, it means that the head of Shaoyi County pays great attention to the ceremony, and he also values ​​this meeting very much. He has no identity, and this business can be discussed on an equal footing.

This is the best situation.

If it arrives at the agreed time, then as the host of Shaoyi County, some of them will take Qiao, but her status is precious, and taking Qiao is not a big deal, and can be dealt with.

The county magistrate of Shaoyi arrived late, so he not only lost his identity, but also took Qiao. Obviously, he is not a good person to be with. It is best to keep it at a distance, and cooperation will be avoided.

Of course, the county magistrate of Shaoyi is also very smart. After entering the box, after seeing her, he asked the time.

On the surface, the county lord of Shaoyi seemed to think that he was late, worried that he would lose his courtesy and neglect the guests, so he asked the servants around him to confirm the time.
