Transmigrating into a Turbulent Era as a Soldier, Starting with Marrying a Wife

#161 - Chapter 161: Heavenly Fragrance Wine and Immortal Wine

Li Yuan took a sniff.

He was very familiar with this smell.

Wasn't this the 【Qingyuan Paste】 produced by his own winery?

The young Marquis and the other young masters were also smelling the aroma of the wine.

They all raised their eyebrows slightly, and the young Marquis said with a smile.

"Well, not bad, not bad."

"This is the first time I've smelled such a strong aroma of wine."

"This twenty-five strings of cash is worth it!"

He hurriedly picked up the sancai porcelain bottle, first respectfully filling a cup for Li Yuan, who was in the seat of honor, and then said.

"Earl Qingyuan, please try this, this wine really has enough flavor."

At this time, Li Yuan's expression was very strange.

He picked up the wine cup, took a small sip, and then tasted it carefully in his mouth with the tip of his tongue.

He could even taste the unique subtle taste of rice bran in the wine.

Li Yuan dared to say that he was the only one in Daliang who used rice bran to make wine.

Li Yuan could now confirm that the so-called Tianxiang Brew in his hand was the Qingyuan Paste he brewed in Dongxiang Village.

He felt that he had really underestimated the Liang people of this era.

Using the information gap between Beichuan Road and Shangjing, the Qingyuan Paste was filled into high-end sancai porcelain bottles and sold at high prices in Shangjing.

These commercial methods were used so skillfully.

Li Yuan now even wanted to meet the mastermind behind the scenes.

The young Marquis saw that Li Yuan's expression was strange, and hurriedly asked diligently.

"Earl Qingyuan, do you like this wine?"

"If the Earl likes it, I will mobilize my friends to look for it in various restaurants."

"As long as there is a third bottle in this Shangjing City, I will definitely find it for the Earl."

Li Yuan smiled and waved his hand.

"It's not like that, it's just that I've had this wine elsewhere before."

"This taste feels very familiar."

The young Marquis then understood.

Li Yuan raised his head and suddenly asked the shop assistant.

"This... 【Tianxiang Brew】"

"Shouldn't it be the best wine in your restaurant?"

Li Yuan wanted to test whether his own Wangyou Paste had also been replaced and bottled.

Sure enough, when the shop assistant heard Li Yuan's question, his expression first stagnated, and then he replied with a smile.

"This guest, to be honest."

"We do have a better wine in our store, called 【Immortal Brew】."

"However, we only have one bottle of this wine left in our restaurant, and it has already been reserved by someone."

Li Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly, and he estimated in his heart that this Immortal Brew should be his own Wangyou Paste.

He continued to ask.

"Shop assistant, I ask you, how much does a bottle of this Immortal Brew cost?"

The shop assistant hurriedly said.

"This Immortal Brew is very expensive, one bottle costs a full fifty strings of cash."

"Even at this price, it can't be found in this Shangjing City."

Hearing this, even the wealthy young Marquis smacked his tongue.

"Fifty strings of cash? What, is this wine brewed with gold?"

"Young Marquis, I'm curious."

"What does this wine taste like?"

"Hey, shop assistant, do you know who reserved that bottle of Immortal Brew?"

"Why don't we make a deal, Young Marquis, I'll offer ten more strings of cash"

"How about selling me that Immortal Brew?"

The shop assistant hurriedly waved his hand and said.

"Oh dear, Young Marquis, please don't, please don't."

"Our store always has to be trustworthy."

"I heard that the person who reserved this wine."

"Is Shen Moxuan, the number one talent in Shangjing, Young Master Shen."

"What?!"

As soon as he heard that the one who reserved that bottle of Immortal Brew was actually Shen Moxuan, Young Marquis Zhao Chengzhi became angry.

"What! It's actually that pedantic scholar!"

"Damn it, I must snatch his wine!"

"Shop assistant! I'll offer eighty strings of cash! Bring me that wine!"

Li Yuan saw that Young Marquis Zhao Chengzhi was so emotional when he heard about that Shen Moxuan, Young Master Shen.

It seemed that this Young Marquis and that Young Master Shen must have some grudges.

At this time, the shop assistant's face was full of bitterness, and he waved his hands repeatedly.

"Young Marquis, you are generous."

"Don't embarrass me."

"This concerns the reputation of our Jinyu Building, I dare not agree."

In the room, the young Marquis was arguing with the shop assistant.

Suddenly, someone outside the private room said loudly.

"Zhao Family brat, is it you who wants to snatch my wine?"

Hearing this voice, the people in the room were all stunned.

Everyone raised their heads and looked outside.

They saw a white-clothed young master with an elegant temperament standing outside the private room door.

With thin eyebrows, danfeng eyes, thin lips, and a thin face, his expression was quite arrogant.

Li Yuan narrowed his eyes.

It seemed that this person should be Shen Moxuan, Young Master Shen.

Sure enough, the young Marquis shouted carelessly.

"Shen Family brat, so what if I snatch your wine."

"I just can't stand you hypocrites!"

The Shen Young Master sneered.

"A villain is a villain, wanting to snatch everything."

"Forget it, I won't bother with you scoundrels."

He turned around and said to the shop assistant.

"Is my wine ready?"

"Bring it to me."

The shop assistant nodded and hurried to get the wine.

Soon, a meticulously carved wooden box was brought over by the shop assistant.

This Shen Young Master elegantly took the wooden box and gently opened it.

He reached out and took out an extremely exquisite five-colored porcelain bottle from the wooden box.

He smelled it and showed a satisfied expression.

"Well, not bad, it is indeed Immortal Brew."

"This taste is still so intoxicating."

Then he turned his head and looked at the crowd watching in the private room and said.

"This wine is a celestial product."

"I will be holding a poetry gathering at Zuihua Tower tonight."

"To make friends with poetry and prose."

"Those invited are all the talents of Shangjing."

"This wine is to be used as a prize for the champion."

"This Immortal Brew, how can you rough and rogue people be qualified to enjoy it."

After saying these words, Young Master Shen put the so-called 【Immortal Brew】 back into the box.

He carefully fastened the box, held it with both hands, and was about to leave.

At this time, Young Marquis Zhao Chengzhi was so angry with this Young Master Shen that smoke was coming out of his ears.

He was about to go over to pester him, but Li Yuan stopped him with his hand.

Naturally, the young Marquis did not dare to act rashly in front of Li Yuan, so he had to suppress his anger for now.

That Young Master Shen turned his head and happened to see Li Yuan, and was stunned.

After all, Li Yuan's appearance and temperament were really outstanding.

Young Master Shen glanced at him and said.

"Who is it, it turns out to be Earl Qingyuan."

Li Yuan saw that the other party said his name, so he got up and clasped his fists, which was the most basic etiquette.

But unexpectedly, that Young Master Shen did not return the salute, and even said with a slight mockery.

"Actually associating with Zhao Family villains."

"Hmph, just a warrior."

After saying this, Young Master Shen flicked his sleeves and left with the box in his hands.

Li Yuan was stunned, and then felt suffocated in his heart.

He thought to himself, where did this Young Master Shen come from, how could he be so rude.

He turned his head and asked the young Marquis.

"Who is this person? What is his background?"

The young Marquis curled his lips and said.

"This person is called Shen Moxuan."

"He is the son of Grand Scholar Shen Changrong."

"He is also the proud disciple of Left Chancellor Zhou Hongwen."

"The Left Chancellor claims to be the number one literary talent in Daliang."

"This person claims to be the number one talent in Shangjing."

"I think both of them, master and disciple, are people who sell their reputation."

"Earl Qingyuan, you must be more careful about this person."

Li Yuan was stunned and asked.

"Why do you say that."

The young Marquis looked at Shen Moxuan's back and said hatefully.

"To be honest."

"Back then, this person did not hesitate to slander me in order to make a name for himself in Shangjing."

"So the two of us became enemies."

It turned out that the young Marquis and this Young Master Shen had actually known each other for a long time.

It was just that this Young Master Shen imitated the Left Chancellor's behavior in order to make a name for himself back then, and fabricated many stories for himself to spread in the market.

What Young Master Shen scolded the villains in the street and rescued the humiliated women.

Helping wronged people write petitions and redress their grievances, and so on.

Young Master Shen printed these stories into storybooks and novels, and even added illustrations, which were widely circulated among the people.

The good person in these stories must be him, Shen Moxuan, and the bad person is often this Young Marquis Zhao Chengzhi.

There was no other reason, just because the Young Marquis's reputation in the streets was really bad on weekdays.

Using him as the villain in the story made people believe it.

But what angered Young Master Zhao was not that he had become the villain in the story.

But that he, Young Marquis, had never done these evil things in the storybook stories.

So Young Master Zhao went to Young Master Shen to reason.

The other party said, it's just a storybook story, why are you taking it seriously.

The young Marquis was so angry that smoke came out of his ears, so he hit Young Master Zhao.

As a result, he was banned from leaving the house by his father, Marquis Beining, for more than a month.

From then on, the two of them became enemies.

They would definitely fight when they met.
