521. Chapter 521 'Hundred Wine Order' and Life Experience Eight
"Then have you ever thought that our Tian family also started out as a wine maker, and now we have reached the status of the number one merchant in the Great Zhou Dynasty, but the wines we make are still not as comprehensive as those recorded in your "Hundred Wine Order"?"
As soon as Tian Lanqing finished speaking, Hua Xiaogu fell silent.
After being asked this question, Hua Xiaogu became confused. Yes, the Tian family started by making wine. If the Hua family once knew that there was more wine than the Tian family now, wouldn't it mean that the ancestors of the Hua family were more powerful than the Tian family?
After all, how can a small family have such knowledge? Not only can they drink all the wines in Zhou Dynasty, but they can also taste all the wines from foreign countries?
But...if the Hua family was once so powerful, why is there no genealogy left?
Let alone the genealogy, in the entire history, I have never heard of a wealthy family named "Hua"?
Hua Xiaogu opened his mouth and moved his eyes to Tian Lanqing's face in a daze.
Tian Lanqing reached out and took out the notebook from the box. While turning the pages gently, he said: "This notebook was written by my great-grandfather. It records the things that happened to that generation of the Tian family.
.There is a passage in it, which can be regarded as a legend passed down by the ancestors of the Tian family, and my father has also heard of it."
Hua Xiaogu's eyes fell on the notebook, and listening to Tian Lanqing's voice seemed to come from outer space.
"It is recorded in the handwriting that the origin of the Tian family was due to the fact that when the Zhou Dynasty was founded, he entered the capital with Emperor Taizu. A prince from the previous dynasty who had fled the capital and whose whereabouts were unknown found a half-burned "Hundred Wine Order"
". It is said that this King of Hua, whose whereabouts are unknown later, never paid attention to political affairs during his reign and loved drinking most of his life. He spent nearly twenty years writing a booklet called "Hundred Wine Orders" in his own hand. The details are
It records all the wines in the world at that time.”
While Hua Xiaogu listened, his mouth grew bigger and bigger, his face a little dazed, as if he was doubting the authenticity of Tian Lanqing's words.
"Because during the previous dynasty, our country was open to trade not only with Dongyi, but also with Nanman, Beidi, Xirong and other countries, so it is not surprising that the Hundred Wine Order can record the wines of other countries. After the death of the emperor of the previous dynasty, the royal family of the previous dynasty
There was only a trace of blood left, that of the missing King Hua. Emperor Taizu once ordered a nationwide search for the whereabouts of King Hua for fear of leaving behind troubles. But it is unknown whether King Hua hid too deeply or died long ago. To this day,
The whereabouts of King Hua's descendants have never been found. But after all, the government of Zhou Dynasty is now stable, and the current emperor has forgotten this matter."
Hua Xiaogu slapped his head and smiled silly: "So, our ancestors of the Hua family are not only fugitives, but also remnants of the previous dynasty? Hahahaha... This is not ridiculous..."
Tian Lanqing could see a trace of panic in Hua Xiaogu's eyes. He stretched out his hand to hold Hua Xiaogu's hand that was hitting her head, looked at her seriously and said, "I'm not joking with you, these are all true."
Hua Xiaogu was dumbfounded, and then his heart sank.
For a while, neither of them spoke. Hua Xiaogu was thinking a lot in her mind, and Tian Lanqing also knew that she should let herself be quiet for a while and give her some time to digest these facts.
"No wonder, I remember my father once said that the "Hundred Wine Order" was originally passed on to boys but not to girls, so he only taught it to me as an exception. It turns out that it's not that our ancestors favored boys over girls, but that the "Hundred Wine Order" really cannot be known to outsiders.
