Chapter 177: Another Trip

Zhang Ze had no choice but to hand it over.

Xiao Yu was one step ahead of King Qi and took the bottle in his hand.

The father and son each carried a bottle of wine and left with a few followers.

Zhang Ze looked at the backs of the father and son, wanting to cry but without tears, and turned to Su Chen's yard.

Su Chen was sitting in front of the window practicing calligraphy. The sun was good these days, and he felt warm sitting in the window.

The maid came in at the door and bowed, "Sir, Guard Zhang has a reply for you."

Su Chen put down his pen, "Let him in."

Zhang Ze came in and stammered about the matter.

Su Chen frowned slightly, "My uncle likes the wine, and Brother Yu likes the bottle?"

"Brother Yu wants to exchange the bottle from Ru Kiln with me?"

Zhang Ze nodded vigorously, that's what happened.

Su Chen shook his head, "That's not right. What does Brother Yu want those two bottles for? No matter how valuable the bottles are, they won't be more valuable than the bottles from Ru Kiln. Besides, he never likes these."

Zhang Ze hurriedly said, "That bottle is really worthless. It's just an ordinary bottle. I don't know why the prince suddenly-" His brain cramped.

He muttered, "The two bottles of wine were given to me by Miss Xiao Fei herself."

Su Chen was silent for a while, pursed his lips, "Since the eldest uncle asked you to go, then you should go again and talk to Uncle Gu. If the wine is available, it's fine. If not, just give the prince a reply."

Zhang Ze nodded, "Then I'll go."

Zhang Ze went to the steward to get some silver, rode a horse, and rushed out of the city.

Gu Zhang gave Liu Zhuangtou half a deer and turned around, and happened to meet Zhang Ze dismounting at the door.

"Brother Zhang, why are you wandering around at this time? Did you drop something?"

Zhang Ze was embarrassed, "Second Uncle Gu, I just brought two bottles of wine back, and I happened to meet Wang-I met my uncle, who is crazy about wine. He praised your wine and sent me to ask you for some more."

Gu Zhang was a little surprised. Since Mr. Su was the son of the county governor, his uncle must be a similar official family. Mr. Su's uncle must not be an ordinary person. It is said that he has seen good things. Is the wine really that good?

He let Zhang Ze in, "Wait a minute, Brother Zhang, I have to ask my daughter. She kept this wine. I don't know if she still has it."

The two entered the door together. Gu Fei was cutting wolf skin on the table in the main room. When she saw Zhang Ze coming in, she quickly put down the scissors.

Gu Zhang told Gu Fei about Zhang Ze's purpose. Gu Fei felt that the return gift was too little, but he certainly couldn't give too much. After all, Zhang Ze had come with them all the way. There wasn't even a wine jar on the mule cart. Giving too much would arouse suspicion.

He nodded, "There's still some wine, but not much, probably only about two kilograms, but--"

"We just moved in, and things haven't been packed up yet. Brother Zhang, wait a minute, I'll go find a suitable jar."

Zhang Ze hurriedly said, "You don't have to be so particular. The plum blossom bottle from before is good enough."

Gu Fei laughed dryly, "I keep that bottle for fun, just those two, Brother Zhang, sit for a while, I'll be back soon."

Gu Fei hurried to the front yard and searched in the kitchen for a long time, only to see a few black pottery pickled vegetable jars, which smelled sour, were tacky, and big.

After searching everywhere, Gu Fei suddenly remembered the water bag he had used to drink water on the road before. He hurriedly found one and washed it, closed the kitchen door, and took out a bottle of Wuliangye to pour it into it.
