Fang Ziye read the letter over and over again, tears filled his eyes, and finally he framed the letter and stored it together with the last Spring Festival couplets.

In fact, he wanted to hang it on the bedside, so that he could see it every day when he opened his eyes, but his family is huge and there are many people, even his own room is not absolutely safe, so he can only hide it with tears in his eyes.

After reading the letter, he went to look at the four jugs of wine and ten pairs of socks in the baggage.

The letter said that the four jars of wine were brewed by Huo Lingzhi himself. In fact, Luo Zining brewed it himself. At the beginning, Luo Zining asked Huo Lingzhi to write like this.unwilling to share with others.

However, the little princess said that she wanted to use it for business, so he could only bear the pain and give away the four jars of wine, and wrote such a lie that he brewed it himself.

In fact, Luo Zining wanted Huo Lingzhi to write that he knitted the ten pairs of socks by himself, but Huo Lingzhi refused, so he had no choice but to let Huo Lingzhi write that the wine was brewed by himself.

After Fang Ziye saw it, he was so moved that he touched all the corners of the wine jar. After opening it, he was reluctant to drink, and took a sip every time, even his wife shared a sip.

The two men who delivered the letter also gave him a good hospitality, and told them not to worry. After a while, after he prepared the annual gift for the prince, just let them go back together.

On the surface, he can't have any contact with Huo Lingzhi. He used to be a young man who didn't know the twists and turns in the officialdom. Coupled with the protection of his family, he has an upright personality, and he doesn't want to guess a lot.The conspiracy behind the matter.

After he came back this time, he discovered the emperor's attitude towards Huo Lingzhi. In order not to implicate the whole family, he could only contact Huo Lingzhi secretly, and he didn't even dare to do things like giving New Year's gifts.

But now it's all right, Huo Lingzhi can use Boss Cheng's name to deliver letters, and he can also use Boss Cheng's name to send New Year gifts to the prince.

To the outside world, he said that he had developed a method of making fruit wine with sorghum wine, so he wanted to establish a good relationship with Boss Cheng and sell cheaper wine.

Now Boss Cheng's reputation is very big, all over the country know that there is a Cheng's winery in the north, even the emperor knows about it.

So even if he gave Boss Cheng a gift, everyone only thought he was doing business. After all, Boss Cheng’s wine was to be supplied to all parts of the country, and there was only one winery. Many people ordered wine from Boss Cheng at a higher price.Disagree, just say first come first served.

Many people flattered Boss Cheng and got more purchase shares.

Although Fang Ziye's family is powerful, the emperor praised the wine as good. Could it be that Fang Ziye could really use power to oppress Boss Cheng?

But before he asked people to go out to send the New Year's gift, a major event happened, and he had to postpone the departure time.

The cause of the incident started a few months ago. A few months ago, when sorghum wine was introduced to the capital, a flattering eunuch offered the emperor the wine he bought outside, and he also talked about the jade liquid wine by the way.How popular it is among the people, "I heard that the high price of a pot of several hundred taels has been fried in the capital, and the purchase price of this wine is said to be only three hundred taels, and three hundred taels is still a big barrel, and a big barrel can hold ten altars.The top ten altars can hold several jugs of wine, but now in the capital, it is impossible to buy a small jug of Yuye wine for three hundred taels.

The strange thing is that most people know the original price of this wine, but they still pay a high price to buy it and drink it."

"There is no shortage of rich people in this capital." The emperor also knows that the ex-factory price and the selling price are not the same thing, just like a kind of fruit in their neighboring country, which is everywhere in the mountains and plains, and it cannot be sold at a high price, and even many of them cannot be sold.It is rotten, but if it is transported to Beijing in a hurry, the price will increase dozens of times.

The journey of this wine is long and the output is low, so naturally it doesn't matter if it is sold at a high price.

And three hundred and two barrels, how much money can you make in a year?The emperor didn't pay attention to this little money at all.

A confidant minister advised the emperor that the Cheng family winery was in Huo Lingzhi's fief, and the more money he made, the more taxes Huo Lingzhi would receive, fearing that Huo Lingzhi would raise soldiers after he had money.

The emperor dismissed this, "Why did I arrange him there? Don't forget that there is a blood-sucking bug over there."

The emperor knew about the corruption of the prefect over there, but he didn't care about it. He even arranged for Huo Lingzhi to go there, thinking that no matter how it developed over there, the prefect would embezzle the money. This year, the prefect gave him money.Huo Lingzhi's tragic situation was written countless times in his secret letter, and Luo Zining also wrote about how miserable Huo Lingzhi's past was.

Huo Lingzhi was no longer a fear to him. His younger brother was no longer the general who was feared just by hearing his name. Huo Lingzhi lost in the fight for the heir apparent. What storms could he cause in the future?

Three years later, Luo Zining poisoned Huo Lingzhi to death. He killed Luo Zining, and then beheaded the magistrate in the name of corruption and ransacked his home.When they see him kill corrupt officials, they will think he is a wise king.

The emperor also had the idea of asking Boss Cheng to move the winery to the capital, so that it would be convenient for him to drink, and the tax revenue from the winery would go into his treasury, so he wouldn't have to worry about the money being transferred to someone else.

But heard rumors that if this wine is to taste good, it must be brewed from sorghum rice in the north, and the taste of grain from other places will be much worse.

The emperor also gave up on this idea, but these days he is addicted to drinking, and the amount of alcohol transported by those caravans is limited, even if he is the emperor, he can't drink as much as he wants, and heard that the winery over there is always producing new varieties.He is not reconciled to the fact that even an emperor cannot drink the latest wine in the first place.

He planned to send someone to the north side to buy wine for drinking in the palace, and he could also drop by to see how Huo Lingzhi was doing and whether the prefect and Luo Zining had rebelled.

Although this errand is hard, it is a fat job and can reap a lot of benefits. Many people recommend themselves to the emperor.

In the end, this job fell on Fang Ziye's head, because Fang Ziye reluctantly presented a jar of hawthorn wine to the emperor.

Fang Ziye knew the seriousness of this matter. If the emperor really sent someone there, Huo Lingzhi would be at risk of being exposed.Altar wine, he even presented the secret recipe of fruit wine.

Fang Ziye lied to the emperor that this was a method he had come up with, using sorghum wine to make fruit wine. He had originally thought of sending someone to buy wine to sell fruit wine, and now he wanted to present this secret recipe to the emperor.

His presentation of the secret recipe was not to give the secret recipe to the emperor directly, but to make wine for the emperor with the secret recipe and sell it. It was also a kind of official position, similar to those salt officials, but not as big as that official position.

There are also many benefits here, and the emperor will pay for it, and he will manage it.

He doesn't need to spend money on labor and raw materials, and besides the salary given to him by the emperor, he can earn as much as he wants, and when the time comes, he will share the money with Huo Lingzhi.The main thing is that he can go to buy sorghum wine by himself, and if he goes there to be the emperor's eyeliner, he won't be afraid that others will report Huo Lingzhi's situation to the emperor, and he can often see his idol, killing two birds with one stone.

The emperor was very happy after drinking the hawthorn wine, and readily agreed to his request. The reason why he trusted him so much was because of their family's special situation, which Fang Ziye only knew about recently.

It turned out that their family had already stood in line before the current emperor ascended the throne, and helped the current emperor do a lot of dirty things. He even suspected that the death of the late emperor was poisoned by his family's help.

In addition, several concubines of the current emperor are also daughters of their family, and a princess and two princes of the emperor are also born of daughters of their family. The entanglement is complicated. The emperor does not believe that he will betray the whole family and do irrational things.

But Fang Ziye really did this, firstly because Huo Lingzhi is his idol, and secondly because of his ideological problems.

He always thought that his father and elder brother were loyal and patriotic to the emperor, but who knew that they would poison the first emperor, this filter was shattered.

He was taught since he was a child that the two characters of loyalty and filial piety are loyalty to the emperor and then filial piety to his parents. If the two collide, he must choose the king even if he abandons his parents.

But his parents did such a thing of betraying the former emperor. In his heart, he had already condemned the whole family, and he would not even recognize the current emperor.

He would only buy wine after the Chinese New Year, and he thought about giving Huo Lingzhi the New Year's gift by himself, and the two guys also stayed at home for the Chinese New Year.

Although the two guys were homesick, they could go there with Mr. Fang, not to mention safer, and it was not so hard.

Moreover, Mr. Fang didn't treat them as people, but treated them as guests, and entertained them with delicious food and drinks. They were relaxed and at ease, and didn't care about not being able to go back during the Chinese New Year.

Fang Ziye also told Huo Lingzhi about this matter by flying pigeons, and said apologetically that he had dedicated the secret recipe of fruit wine to the emperor on his own initiative, but the matter was urgent, and he had to grab this spot.

After Huo Lingzhi received the letter, he read it with Luo Zining. After Luo Zining saw it, he was a little scared, "If the emperor really sends someone to monitor us, it will be a big hidden danger. I have opened so many factories., so many people know that we are in love, so it will be revealed soon. Fortunately, I sent the recipe of this fruit wine at the right time. "

"We are loving each other, why didn't you want to kiss me last night?" Huo Lingyi put his arms around his waist, hugged him into his arms, and moved closer to kiss him.

Luo Zining hurriedly dodged, raised his hand to cover his mouth, "It's been five days since we agreed, you have a lot of closest relatives, if you do this again, I will, I will..."

"Are you moving out?" Huo Lingzhi asked him with a smile.

"You, don't think that I won't move out." Luo Zining could confidently say move out in summer, but he couldn't say such words in winter.

It was already snowing outside. He had measured the temperature outside, and it was more than 20 degrees below zero. After going out for ten minutes, his blood could freeze into smoothies.

Before the crossing, he felt extremely cold when it was ten degrees above zero. Who would have imagined what it would be like to experience more than twenty degrees below zero after crossing.

Fortunately, he remodeled the house in advance. Floor heating, fire wall, and fireplace are three-in-one heating methods, so that the house is so hot that you can wear short sleeves and burn less fire to cool down. But Luo Zining is not willing to cool down, he would rather be hotMake yourself feel safe, and not feel a little chill, that will make him feel panic.

He didn't go out after winter, and stayed at home with Huo Lingzhi every day. Huo Lingzhi occasionally went to the yard to train the guards. Now the number of guards at home has increased to eighty, and Huo Lingzhi is busy.

When he comes back at night, Huo Lingzhi will see his little princess wandering around the room in clothes with arms and legs exposed, or lying on the bed. When he goes to sleep at night, his little princess even sleeps shirtless in the heat.How could he be able to control it? Kissing once every five days turned into getting close whenever there was a chance.

His little princess is so afraid of the cold, it is impossible to move to another house.Moreover, Luo Zining's attitude has softened a lot recently, three out of five times he did not refuse, and sometimes responded to him, which allowed him to see a little victory and made him push forward even more.

Although Luo Zining rejected him at first today, but he was soft on him, and finally made a fuss on the bed to get close.

...

After Fang Ziye reluctantly gave the emperor a jar of wine, he kept the remaining three jars for himself. He distributed a pair of ten pairs of socks to his wife, a pair to his parents, brothers and sisters, and kept two pairs of four pairs for himself.Two pairs, one pair for my teacher, and one pair for my best friend.

His wife had never met before they got married, and his parents had arranged to marry directly. The two of them had no sweet love, respected each other, and respected each other as guests. Before he went to Huo Lingzhi as an imperial envoy, his idea was that a man could have three wives and four wives.Concubine, after he came back, he decided to learn from an idol, instead of taking concubines, he also wanted to be a couple with his wife for the rest of his life.

After he came back, he treated his wife a lot better, and gave her some gifts every now and then.

When my wife received this pair of socks, she was still a little confused. She had never seen this kind of socks before, and the underwear she wore before was made by herself or with the help of the nurse around her. She had never worn them and bought them from outside.don't want to wear it.

But it was a good intention from my husband, and she happily accepted it, and then put it at the bottom of the box.

This morning Fang Ziye got up to put on socks. Seeing that his wife was still wearing the same socks as before, she asked her, "Why don't you wear the socks I gave you? That's a good thing I got from outside. Put it on quickly.We husband and wife should wear the same clothes, this is called couple clothes."

Fang Ziye heard Luo Zining say that couples should wear similar clothes and feel CP, and Luo Zining also explained to him what CP is.

His wife blushed at what he said, and in the end he tortured her so much that she couldn't help it, and she put on the socks after hearing that they were all knitted by women, not men.

It's cold indoors here, but warm outside. She likes to stay in the yard during the day, but she didn't expect these socks to be warm and soft. It would be even better if there were not only socks, but also a pair of gloves like this.Li is not afraid of cold hands and feet.

She asked Fang Ziye if he had seen gloves when he bought them. Fang Ziye said no, only socks, and asked her to wear them carefully. He only had a few pairs in total and divided them all up.

The wife was very moved when she heard this, and the relationship between the two became more loving.

My parents felt good wearing the socks he gave me. The weather has been cloudy and sunny these days, so these are just right for me to wear, and they are also comfortable and docile.

It's just that his parents were very dissatisfied with him going out of Beijing to buy wine so far away, and told him several times that it was impossible to be an official in Beijing, and he had to go to such a far away place.

He lied to his parents, saying that the emperor had sent him a secret mission, and within a few years, he would be successful.

His father understands the situation best. After all, he was the one who helped the current emperor plan to poison him. The matter succeeded. Now he has become an important minister in the court, but his stupid son is too upright to please the emperor.The first time he was an imperial envoy, he took the initiative to fight with the emperor, wanting to let his son show his face on the emperor's side.Buying wine is also to monitor Huo Lingzhi, his son is enlightened!

Thinking of this, he was quite happy, praised his son and asked him to do a good job.

The next New Year, when Fang Ziye was having a party with his friends, he showed them his socks in a particularly brazen manner.

Usually he would not show off to others when he has something good, but this time he even wanted to show everyone a pair of socks. His friends all came over to have a look.After the pair of socks, everyone cast envious glances and asked him to take them off for everyone to try, and some people asked him where he bought them.

He kept it secret, only a few pairs, and he distributed them to his parents and teachers. If they want to buy them, his shop will buy them after a few months, but when the weather is warmer, there is no need to wear them.Wear it next winter.

Friends said that he was stingy and that it was just a pair of torn socks, but they had already planned in their hearts that they would definitely have such a pair next winter to show off.

After the new year, Fang Ziye was ordered to buy wine. When he went, he packed all the New Year's gifts for Huo Lingzhi. If it wasn't for the fear that people would find out that he gave Huo Lingzhi gifts, he would like to pack a few more cars.I can pack less.

This time, he also brought someone along with him.

The author has something to say:

Fang Ziye: "I have a plot for a chapter."
