It takes 50 miles to reach half an hour at most.

Even though the carriage was much slower, it entered the capital at about 4 pm.

The news of their return to the city was soon reported to Xia Shouzhong by the godson of the eunuch Xia Shouzhong.

Then Xia Shouzhong ordered someone to check what the relationship between Jia Lian and Shi Zhongkui was.

At the gate of the city, Shi Guangzhu pulled Shi Zhongkui's hand and said with a diligent face, "Boqian, I will definitely visit my uncle's house today."

Shi Zhongkui refused without thinking about it. Now he didn't prepare a gift when he came to the house, and he might be in trouble with Shi Huaiyong, the family member of Duke Shanguo.

After all, I just wrote a poem to scold him.

The third goal is Jia Lian. If you contact Jia Baoyu again, you will not have the time to repair the Duke's Mansion.

He grabbed Luo Li's wrist by Shi Guangzhu. With a slight force, Shi Guangzhu suddenly felt that his wrist seemed to be clamped by iron clamps.

I once again affirmed that Shi Zhongkui was a hidden trainer, and his character of being soft and afraid of hard can't be revealed directly.

Seeing that Shi Guangzhu stopped talking, Shi Zhongkui let go and stood outside the carriage to salute his master's wife Yu Shi in the carriage.

Then he made an appointment with Yu Tongfu to travel together during the Qingming Festival and watched the carriages and horses of Duke Shin's mansion leave.

Just as Shi Zhongkui thought, Jia Lian winked with Xue Pan, pulled himself to Jude Tower.

Shun'er wanted to persuade her, but before she could speak, she saw Shi Zhongkui wave her hand and then gave up.

Following Jia Lian, Xue Pan and Feng Ziying, we soon arrived outside a wooden 3-story restaurant.

Shi Zhongkui was quite curious when he first entered an ancient restaurant.

But in a short while he lost his freshness. It looked good outside, but the interior decoration was more refined than modern antique restaurants.

Not long after, the waiter brought the wine and food into the private room on the second floor one by one. The dishes tasted pretty good, but to his surprise, the spice of five-spice powder seemed to have been used in several meat dishes.

He pretended to be careless and asked a question like a waiter. Unexpectedly, Jia Lian and Xue Pan knew a little, and said everything they knew.

It took a while before Shi Zhongkui realized that although he often used in big restaurants, it was because he dared to buy one or a few taels of silver for a dish.

The price of spices is more expensive than ordinary medicinal materials, and even wealthy families do not use them much.

On the contrary, the ratio of incense and medicinal use is larger.

Jia Lian complained that a kind of rouge called refreshing fragrance is more expensive than gold if it is added with saffron, and even the Jia family can use it.

Xue Pan interrupted again and said that when his father went out to buy, he had heard that someone in Sichuan and Tibet had been trying to plant it, but unfortunately the effect was not very good.

A few years ago, some people planted them as potted plants in Jinling, but the flowers could survive, but the buds produced were not as good as those from the Western Regions, so they were not able to be planted on a large scale.

Shi Zhongkui felt a little moved, and it would be no problem to plant it in the space.

Then he looked at Jia Lian with some sympathy.

Even if I don’t know saffron, I understand that this thing is forbidden for pregnant women. Thinking about how many times Wang Xifeng got pregnant, he had only one daughter. When he heard Jia Lian’s words just now, it was impossible to think about it without suspicion.

But I can't say this. After all, the most taboo thing for people I just met is to speak in a simple and profound way.

Besides, Wang Xifeng is not a good person, and she has no relatives and no reason to persuade her. Instead, she feels that she has ulterior motives.

When he was a little drunk when he ate and felt a little drunk, he did not refuse the next urge to drink, and the wine entered the space directly.

And to be honest, he didn't expect that Dazhou's wine could be bought at will in the restaurant.

According to Xue Pan, wine is no longer a fruit wine that only nobles can enjoy.

Shi Zhongkui originally thought that he would make wine himself, but if he thought about it carefully, it would be fine to drink it himself or give it to his relatives and friends.

If you want to sell in large quantities, the merchants don’t care where you brew it, but the government will come to ask for trouble.

In ancient times, salt, iron and wine were basically controlled by every dynasty, and it was also one of the main sources of taxation.

It took only half an hour to drink Xue Pan, Jia Lian and Feng Ziying, who drank wine as beer, blushed.

Jia Lian and Feng Ziying knew that if they continued to drink, they would definitely be drunk by Shi Zhongkui.

He held Xue Pan who wanted to win or lose, but after drinking, Xue Pan was not so easy to persuade him.

In the end, Jia Lian took advantage of Xue Pan's release of water and went out to use the things that Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai told him that she had not done yet, so he persuaded Xue Pan to stop.

It can be said that my mother and sister are the fatal pits of Daibawang.

Although this guy is cute, it doesn't mean he is a good person.

I can only say that he has not been broken enough to have pus, and has no bottom line.

Seeing that Shi Zhongkui's face was just a little red, Jia Lian thought about it and simply said, "Brother Bo Xuan, I have a ruthless request for my brother, please don't blame me."

Shi Zhongkui put down his chopsticks and asked with a smile, "I probably guessed something about Brother Lian's meaning, but I also have a problem."

Speaking of this, Shi Zhongkui deliberately looked at the servant who served in the private room. After attracting the attention of Jia Lian and the other two, he smiled and said, "How about going to my house to have a cup of tea?"

When Jia Lian and Xue Pan first heard him say there was something wrong, their hearts were stuttering, but when they heard him say they would go to his house to sit, they knew that there was still something to do about this.

It’s just that it’s not easy to say it in the restaurant, so as not to be heard and spread.

Feng Ziying wanted to leave when she saw that it was involved in private affairs, but this time she was dragged by Shi Zhongkui and insisted on asking him to go to his house for tea and continue chatting.

The group arrived at Shi Zhongkui's house soon.

It has only been five days since the examination. Shun'er and others were asked to wipe the table and ask Jia Lian and the other two to sit in the living room.

Shi Zhongkui entered the bedroom and took out a wooden box containing 15 fans from the space.

After thinking about it, I left 9 handfuls, carrying the box containing 6 fans, and some fruit plates containing some peach jelly, persimmon cakes, dried dates and raisins.

Shun'er hurriedly placed the fruit plate on the table and took the one tael of silver and 10 kilograms of tea that Shi Zhongkui bought on the street in the past three months, and asked the three Yu Honggao's servants to go to the kitchen to boil water and make tea.

The tea was not good, so Jia Lian and the other two were sure to eat it, but the peach jelly, persimmon cakes, dried dates and raisins were unexpectedly delicious.

Have drunk tea and eaten dried fruit.

Xue Pan asked where to buy these dried fruits.

It’s not that Xue Pan wants to do the dried fruit business, but that he buys some for Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai to try.

By the way, I sent some to Rongguo Mansion and Ningguo Mansion. After all, the Xue family has lived in Lixiangyuan in the northeast corner of Rongguo Mansion for the past year. If there is any good thing, I should give it to the Jia family.

"Brother Xue likes it. When I leave, I will ask someone to take you, Brother Lian and Brother Feng back. Don't mention the money or not."

This surprised Jia Lian and Feng Ziying. I heard that Shi Zhongkui could not even afford to eat, but now it seems that this guy should have gotten some money from the Yu family.

Xue Pan's face is inevitable
