It was a cold winter day, and the wine glass was steaming. The osmanthus fragrance spread slowly throughout the building. The senior drinkers nearby couldn’t help but swallow their saliva and eagerly watched the wealthy childe drink.
Although it required a higher level of acting, this was not a problem for Yin Xu, because he used to be a liar in the Nanjiang Country. Afterwards, he was captured by feudal officials. Then he was forced to be a soldier and became cannon fodder on battlefields.
When the wine reached his throat, the pungency in imagination didn’t suffuse inside him. Instead, he felt a taste of mellowness and smoothness as if it was silk not wine that he had swallowed. The strong osmanthus fragrance spread in his body and made all his pores open, which was extremely comfortable.
“It is not wine. It is clearly a kind of addictive poison!”
Yin Xu had a whole glass of wine and became a little drunk. He had forgotten that he
“Oh?” The youth raised his eyebrow, “Where is it?”“On the second-class street in the eastern town. The Linli Building. It sells the highest grade osmanthus wine. It has only been opened for two days but it's overcrowded!” The butler boasted about it for fear that the youth was not satisfied, “However, I haven’t found its patron. I only know of a person called ‘Mr. Li’ who chose servants from the broker house the other day. Now those servants have become waiters of the Linli Building.”The youth was more interested in it and said, “It earns seven thousand taels after starting business for only two days? That's interesting. I have never heard of ‘Mr. Li’. He is secretive and maybe doesn’t have any great ability. Go to draw your reward and meet with the Linli Building’s administrator tomorrow. If they don’t agree, do you know what to do?”The butler was very happy and immediately knelt and kowtowed to him, “Thank you, Master! I know. I know!”
“Ms. Li’s letter?”In his study, Yan Ziye received the report and was puzzled. The mysterious woman who had always been composed at the prisoner camp on that day flashed in his mind.“Let him come in.”Yan Ziye waved his hand. The relationship between Ms. Li and him was not close. He wanted to know what on earth she wanted.After a short period of time, Yin Xu walked into the study and saw Yan Ziye. He couldn’t help but be surprised. Wasn’t he the adjutant whom he had met at the prisoner camp the other day?Yan Ziye felt that that person in front of him was a little familiar. After he thought back, he remembered that the person was one of the prisoners of war brought back by Ms. Li?!Unexpectedly, after half a month, the person’s spirit was completely different. He didn't look like he had been in the prisoner camp at all.“Ms. Li’s means of training people is superb...”Yan Ziye c
In front of Yan Ziye’s eyes, there was a cup of wine staying in the air. It seemed that it was dragged by an invisible hand so that it did not sag.Such a strange scene made Yan Ziye’s mouth dry. He hesitated to take the unfinished sentence out of his mouth.“Can it be pulled open only by the inborn senior?”Su Li chuckled to finish the sentence and then opened her hand immediately. The cup of wine staying in the air was immediately pulled and returned to Su Li’s hand automatically.“The most obvious sign of the legendary inborn realm is telekinesis. Childe Yan, am I right?”Su Li’s hoarse and magnetic words rang in his ears. Yan Ziye’s whole body was cold, and he looked steadily forward. His face couldn’t make any expression and turned to be wooden.This female who seemed to be in her twenties was... inborn unexpectedly?!The legendary inborn senior could confront thousands of troops by himse
At the moment, Butler Jin sat in the village with a towel covered on his face. He scolded angrily,“I do not care! Don’t forget that you are all servants of the Jin Family. The First Master will be the head of the Jin Family in the future. He may even become a general of the Dahan Country. How dare you disobey his order?!”The three headmen of the Tiger Village all looked sullen after hearing that. Although Butler Jin was telling the truth, his words were harsh and coarse. He didn’t save their face.Then the well-built First Headman stood up. He said in a deep voice, “Butler Jin, since you put it that way, we surely will not refuse you. But you should give us some time to prepare, otherwise it would mean a handle to other people. If we were encircled and suppressed by the feudal official, the Jin Family would also be affected.”Butler Jin snorted and coldly said while swallowing his anger, “By tomorrow at the latest! Catch all memb
Although cold wind whistled outside, the warm room was as warm as the spring because of the fire of the stove.Yan Hongxiu pushed the door open and rushed in with her maid Huan. When she came in, her shivering body because of the cold weather instantly stretched. She glanced at Su Li who was sitting beside the teacher’s desk and snorted while returning to her seat.The other seats were still unoccupied. Yan Hongxiu was the first to come.The remaining four people got into the warm room before long. Jin Ruolan was still the last one, but she arrived on time in any case.The other people immediately looked at Jin Ruolan askance when she appeared. There was a hint of coldness in Yan Hongxiu’s eyes. The rumors about the Jin Family were widely spread. They had never thought Jin Ruolan dared to attend class in such a sensitive period.Jin Ruolan felt bitter. She didn’t want to have class at all, but she had no choice but com
It seemed that Su Li didn’t see Yan Hongxiu’s expression. She continued, “Our relationship begins with the deal between Childe Yan and me. We don’t have the real master and apprentice relationship.”Yan Hongxiu was very disappointed after she heard the unfriendly words. It turned out that Mr. Li didn’t get angry for her behavior. She looked a little better, but she felt bitterer in heart.“Maybe she would take me as an apprentice if I behaved better just now.”Yan Hongxiu had played with Yan Ziye since she was a little girl, so she was deeply influenced by Yan Ziye. She still held the unpractical dream that she could become a chivalrous swordswoman in the martial arts circle other than becoming a female general. It was obvious that Mr. Li was her idol in her heart.“Mr. Li.” Yan Ziye took a deep breath and said after he finally calmed down, “Will she really reach that realm in one year if she practices the archery with you?”
All rich merchants’ looks completely changed when they heard what Qingshang had said.Qingshang sneered to a higher degree after seeing this and continued, “As for the first source, these embroidery works were sold a month ago. However, the landlord has already denied it. Therefore, there is only the second possibility. These embroidery works were from the apprentices of our embroidery workshop!”“We have never delivered works of apprentices. This rule was made by the feudal official, so even the workshop owner can’t change it.”Jia An stepped forward with a smile. He looked at them so coldly that the sight almost froze them to death and said, “I would like to ask you a question. Where did you steal these inferior embroidery works? We destroy apprentices’ embroidery works from the embroidery workshop of the Qinghe Provincial Office every day. It seems that I really need to carefully investigate it.”“You... Don’t talk nonsense!”
The sun cast light through the flying dust on the ground outside the stone fence. The musty hay on the ground slightly squeaked.Su Li sat down against the wall. She didn’t shout or sobbed. She was so quiet which was unusual. The two jailers were marveled for that.It seemed that she didn’t hear the miserable screams and clamor around her. She slowly reached out her hands and a little sunshine fell on her fingertips and warmed her.Compared with the death row under the ground where there was no sunshine in her previous life, the treatment in this life was too much better.Su Li smiled, which scared the two jailers.“Why is she still smiling?”“Is she crazy?”…There was a smell of blood in the wood house of the Jin Family where was specialized in punishing servants who made mistakes.The butler of the Jin Family was lying on the hay and staring at the roof blankly.
