After I was reborn, I became the queen mother by fortune telling

Chapter 235
"The wine is good." Mu Qingyuan praised.

The shopkeeper is very happy, and there is another one who knows the goods.

"The guest officer has discernment." The shopkeeper took out another small porcelain bottle warmed in hot water and two small porcelain cups, walked to Mu Qingyuan's table, put the cups on the table, and poured two cups lightly. cup.

"Guest officer, try this wine again."

Mu Qingyuan picked up the wine glass and took a sip.

Sure enough, it is fragrant and fragrant, sweet and refreshing.

"This is……"

The shopkeeper smiled honestly: "This is brewed with mountain spring water. The grains used are grown by the old family. Every year when the old family comes to Beijing, a batch is sent over. I am reluctant to sell it. Today is a fate. Please taste it."

Mu Qingyuan took another sip, and couldn't help praising: "The beauty of this wine, even Royal Wine can't compare to it!"

"Guests have discernment! This bottle of wine will be given to the distinguished guests without charge."

That regular customer, Old Xiao, spoke again: "Shopkeeper, I've been to your shop enough times, I didn't realize until today that you still hide your secrets and are not enough friends!"

"It's not for selfishness. I don't have enough to drink at home, and I still have some leftovers to sell. I saw this guest official hit it off today, so I gave it to him."

Old Xiao smiled for a while, then suddenly asked: "Shopkeeper, speaking of which, where did you learn the craft of brewing wine?"

The shopkeeper sighed: "Speaking of the ancestors, it is true that as the guest official said, we paid tribute to the imperial court of the previous dynasty. It's just that the emperor and the courtiers are just opening wineries in their hometown now. .If this small shop closes, I will go back to my hometown to make wine."

"It's such a good wine, it's a pity to bury it. It's time for you to change the location of this tavern." Mu Qingyuan said, "It's just not in the suburbs, but find a more spacious place, or rebuild it so that more people can enjoy it." Drink your wine. Or, go back to your old business and pay tribute to the palace with the best wine you have here."

"Then thank you for your kind words!" The shopkeeper didn't take it seriously, cupped his hands, and went back to the counter to fiddle with the abacus beads.

Jiang Yu touched her lips slightly. Although she didn't know much about wine, she felt that the wine was mild and fragrant, and it was indeed fine wine.

Hearing Mu Qingyuan's words, she thought to herself, could it be that he really wanted the boss to deliver wine to the palace?

This is not impossible, like what Mu Qingyuan would do.

Old Xiao, a regular customer, laughed and said, "If that's the case, wouldn't the boss of Qiqizhai be going to die of anger!"

The customers in the store laughed together.

The shop became more and more lively, and there were more and more people pushing cups and changing cups.

However, Jiang Yu noticed a person who was different from the customers in the shop.

This is a little girl who is only seven or eight years old. The clothes she wears are half-worn, dirty and torn, and the sleeves are all greasy. Her round face is full of stains, but her eyes are very lively. .

It looks like a little beggar.

The shopkeeper also saw her, but he should have seen her more. He just frowned slightly and didn't stop her.

She crawled around under the tables begging for food. Seeing her pity, some diners gave her half a steamed bun and a piece of pastry. Some of them were eaten by her, while others were wrapped in a clean cotton cloth and put in her arms. Hide it.

Seeing that the little girl was pitiful, Jiang Yu was about to wave her over and order food for her when she suddenly heard someone yelling at the door: "Where is the little beggar? Where did you go?"

Accompanied by yelling, two people dressed in "Qiqizhai" Xiaoer's clothes that Jiang Yu had seen came in, followed by a fat middle-aged man in a satin robe.

Standing outside the door was a middle-aged woman who was covering her mouth and nose with a handkerchief, and another woman dressed as a servant girl was supporting her.

As soon as the little girl saw the person coming, she panicked and ran inside, and just happened to run to Jiang Yu's table. The little girl looked at Jiang Yu with pleading eyes, and Jiang Yu made a silent gesture to her, signaling her Hide behind the curtain behind yourself.

The little girl was very clever and immediately got through.

Jiang Yu nodded towards Mu Qingyuan, and Mu Qingyuan smiled slightly, indicating that she understood.

The two mistresses searched the hall for a while, but couldn't find the little girl, so they returned to the fat middle-aged man and shook their heads.

"Shopkeeper Hao, where is the little beggar? Could it be that you hid her?" The fat middle-aged man asked the shopkeeper at the counter slowly with his airs on his shoulders.

Shopkeeper Hao hurriedly came out from behind the counter, and said with a smile, "Don't dare."

"Since you dare not, why don't you hand over the little beggar right away? She stained other people's clothes and smashed their bracelets. She has to pay for it! She has to send it to the government!" The fat middle-aged man stared.

"Treasurer Cai, I really haven't seen that little beggar you mentioned, who is it and what kind of person is it?"

"Don't pretend! It's the little girl who often begs on this street recently. Someone saw her enter your place just now. You can't open your eyes and talk nonsense."

"This... just now I was busy with the accounts, I really didn't see it, Ah San, did you see it?" Shopkeeper Hao smiled apologetically, and asked the waiter Ah San again.

Ah San shook her head like a rattle: "No, I didn't see it."

"We didn't see it. Look, should we look elsewhere?" Shopkeeper Hao suggested with a low eyebrow.

"Elsewhere?" Shopkeeper Cai took two steps inside.

The originally noisy diners were quiet at this moment, not daring to breathe.

You must know that the shopkeeper of Qiqizhai has the ability to reach the sky, and behind him is a group of court officials headed by Prime Minister He.

If you say a wrong word or do a wrong thing, you can't afford to walk around.

It is not something ordinary people can bear.

"You can see clearly, did that little beggar really come in here?" Shopkeeper Cai turned his head and asked the two waiters of Qiqizhai.

"It's absolutely true! I really entered here, and I haven't seen it going out."

Shopkeeper Cai said "Oh" and ordered: "That's easy, search for me!"

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

The two little boys from Qiqizhai rolled up their sleeves fiercely, and began to sneak among the diners.

After a while, the stool was pushed away, and the person was pushed aside for a while, and several dishes and wine glasses on the table were also smashed.

Several diners had already stood up secretly with pale faces, and automatically hid aside, and even the few people who were near the door sneaked away.

Seeing this situation, shopkeeper Hao hurried over to intercede.

"Treasurer Cai, otherwise, do you see if this is okay? If that little beggar really committed a crime, you go to the yamen to report to the officials now, and let the government's arresters come and arrest him. If you search for people with such fanfare, the business of the small shop ..."

Snapped!
A slap hit shopkeeper Hao's face, causing him to stagger for several steps before he could stand still.

"Bold!"

"The one who called you the shopkeeper really thinks how much he weighs?"

"Do you know who the master is? In a few days, your surname will not be Hao, but Cai!"
