Chapter 367: Wealth Is so Great that You Can’t Hide From It.
Ning Chen came out of the Hou Mansion and drove the carriage straight to the palace.
The palace’s sales channels must be opened.
The emperor said it was good after drinking it, how could this wine be bad?
Ning Chen came to the door of the imperial study room with three jars of wine in his arms.
Nie Liang happened to be on duty today.
Looking at Ning Chen holding three jars of wine, he was a little confused, "Master Hou, what are you doing?"
"I'm here to give you a gift!"
Nie Liang: "???"
Have you sent gifts to the palace?
Ning Chen handed two jars of wine to Nie Liang, "One jar for you and one jar for Lao Quan... I can't give it to him in front of His Majesty. I'll ask him to get it from you later."
"Hold it carefully and don't drop it. This wine is precious...it costs ten taels of silver per jar, and you may not be able to buy it if you have money. I spent a lot of effort to get it."
Nie Liang was shocked, "What kind of wine costs ten taels of silver per jar?"
"This is called fairy dew, the wine that gods drink...I tell you, if you take a sip of this wine, you will have no regrets in this life or death!"
Nie Liang's mouth twitched, "Haha, thank you!"
Emperor Xuan is reading the memorial.
A young eunuch walked in and knelt down, "Your Majesty, Lord Ning, please see me!"
Emperor Xuan nodded slightly, "Let him come in!"
The little eunuch retreated.
After a while, Ning Chen walked in.
Emperor Xuan raised his head and glanced, slightly startled, "What are you doing holding the wine? Could it be that you came to me for a drink? I don't have time... you go and play with Huai'an."
These words don't sound like what an emperor said. Rather, they sound like an elder telling a noisy junior to go play and leave him alone.
Ning Chen bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, I am here to give you a gift."
Emperor Xuan put down the memorial and said, "The gift you are talking about is this jar of wine?"
"Your Majesty, this wine is called Fairy Dew. This is no ordinary wine. I have never drunk such a delicious wine in my life. It is simply like nectar."
"This wine has not yet been sold to the outside world. I happen to know the owner of this wine shop. I spent a lot of money to get it...I immediately thought of His Majesty and sent it to you quickly."
The corners of Emperor Xuan's lips raised slightly. What kind of wine has he never drank?
The royal wine in the palace is the best wine. Ning Chen has never drunk any good wine?
But Ning Chen's filial piety made him very happy.
"Okay, I'll accept this wine... How much money did you spend, I'll replenish it for you!"
"Your Majesty, please take a sip... If it doesn't taste good, I'm willing to be punished."
Eunuch Quan frowned, how could His Majesty drink such wine of unknown origin casually?
He was about to speak when he saw Ning Chen opening the mud seal... In an instant, the mellow aroma of wine filled the air.
Emperor Xuan sniffed, raised his head from the memorial, and locked his eyes on the wine jar in Ning Chen's hand.
Even Father-in-law Quan, who didn't like drinking, couldn't help but swallow.
This wine is so delicious!
"Bring it over and let me see it."
Ning Chen quickly stepped forward and placed the wine jar on the dragon table.
Emperor Xuan came closer and smelled it, salivating.
"Quansheng, bring me a wine glass."
"yes!"
Father-in-law Quan got the wine glass.
Ning Chen poured a glass out...the mouth of the glass was too small and a lot of it was spilled.
It couldn't be seen in the jar, but when it was poured into a wine glass, Emperor Xuan discovered that the wine was pure and clear.
If it weren't for the mellow aroma of wine, he would have doubted it was wine?
Emperor Xuan subconsciously prepared to pick up the wine glass.
When Quan Gongzheng was about to stop him, Ning Chen took the first step and said, "Your Majesty, wait a moment!"
Emperor Xuan looked at him.
"Although I am very sure that this wine is fine, what if it happens? Therefore, I will try it for Your Majesty first."
Ning Chen picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.
Emperor Xuan's face was full of joy. He really loved the boy for nothing. He was always thinking about him and would send him good things as soon as possible.
Who wouldn't like a child who is sensible, filial, and well-equipped in literature and military affairs?
After waiting for a while, Ning Chen smiled and said: "Your Majesty, I'm fine... Your Majesty can drink with confidence."
"Your Majesty, please wait a moment. I will bring you a new wine glass."
Father-in-law Quan turned around and went to get the wine glass.
Emperor Xuan waved his hand, "No need, I'll just use this...Ning Chen, give it to me."
Everyone is stupid. How can there be any reason for the emperor to use things that his ministers have used?
Ning Chen quickly picked up the wine jar and poured a glass.
Emperor Xuan picked it up and smelled it, then took a sip, his eyes lit up, and then drank it all.
Immediately, he spit out the smell of wine and couldn't help but said: "Good wine... The aroma is tangy to the nose, the wine is pure and clear, and drinking it is like drinking nectar, the mouth is full of fragrance, and the aftertaste is endless... It can be called fairy dew." "
Tsk tsk... Look at the bad words, the emperor really has two brushes, unlike that vulgar martial artist in Gu Yichun, who has no words other than saying it tastes good.
Quan's father-in-law is not a good drinker. He couldn't help but swallow his saliva when he smelled the aroma of wine.
It's a pity that it's not his fault.
Emperor Xuan couldn't help but ask: "Where does this wine come from?"
"I discovered it accidentally. The owner of this wine shop is named Jin Qingsheng. This wine will be officially sold to the public tomorrow... I thought that with such a good wine, His Majesty must taste it first."
"So, I spent a lot of money to buy some from him and hurriedly sent them to His Majesty."
Emperor Xuan nodded happily.
"This wine is indeed good. I have never drunk such a clear and rich wine."
Ning Chen smiled horribly, "As long as your Majesty likes it, I bought thirty altars and put them on the carriage at the entrance of the palace... Your Majesty will keep them and drink them slowly."
Emperor Xuan Longyan was delighted.
The more I look at Ning Chen, the more I like him. This guy is becoming more and more sensible!
"Quansheng, reward Ning Chen with 10,000 taels of silver!"
Ning Chen was so happy that he stepped back a few steps and leaned over to say, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Eunuch Quan took out a 10,000 tael silver note and gave it to Ning Chen.
Ning Chen took the note and whispered, "Old Quan, I left a jar for you. It's with Commander Nie. Go and get it quietly later."
Quansheng's eyes lit up and he liked Ning Chen more and more.
Ning Chen leaned over and said, "Your Majesty, General Chen is also a wine lover. Can I bring a jar of wine to him?"
Emperor Xuan said, "Don't worry about it. I will send someone to deliver it!"
Ning Chen was waiting for this sentence. If he gave wine to General Chen, could he not give it to other ministers?
The emperor said it was a good wine, wouldn't the wine's status rise immediately? At that time, not only would the price of the wine rise, but the sales would also open up.
"Yes, then I'll take my leave!"
Ning Chen left happily with 10,000 taels of silver note in his pocket.
After Ning Chen left, Emperor Xuan couldn't help but drink several more cups.
"Quan Sheng, send a jar of this wine to General Chen, and then give a pot to each minister in the court, and the same goes for the harem."
Quan Sheng leaned over, "Yes, I'll do it right away!"
"Wait a minute, ask Nie Liang to send someone to secretly investigate this Xianlu Wine Shop."
Emperor Xuan was completely in love with this fine wine, and felt that what he had drunk before was not called wine.
If there is no problem with this tavern, let them pay tribute to the palace in the future... This wine is definitely qualified to be the imperial wine.
"Yes, I obey your order!"
Eunuch Quan hurried to find Nie Liang. Ning Chen left a jar of wine for him at Nie Liang's place. Such a good wine, don't let Nie Liang drink it all.
At this time, Ning Chen had already left the palace, and he couldn't help but smile... I believe that in a few days, this wine will be popular throughout the capital.
By then, he will open wine shops all over Daxuan, and he can also sell wine to other countries.
This overwhelming wealth, you can't avoid it even if you want to!
If you have power, making money is so easy!
