Chapter 650: 064 New clothes, sentimental_2

Fragrant Full Building had their first confrontation with Drunken Immortal Residence, and they achieved an absolute victory without even needing Lin Yuan to make an appearance.

In the capital city, after hearing his subordinate’s report, Second Prince Zhao Hongsheng’s thin lips curled slightly, revealing a playful smile, "Interesting, really interesting."

It must be said, this incident was entirely orchestrated by Zhao Hongsheng himself, from the initial encounter with the Loudspeaker all the way to later accusing the Loudspeaker of being a thief, and of course, "collaborating" with Shopkeeper Wu to have the Loudspeaker thrown into the dungeon—it was all Zhao Hongsheng’s handiwork.

And why is that? It’s all because of Xia Zheng!

The news of Princess Anle and Su Qiuyu slipping out of the capital to Zhuma Town had been leaked to him by someone with a motive, and with a little probing, he naturally learned that the Boss of Fuman Building was none other than Xia Zheng. And Lin Yuan’s name was also mentioned in connection with him. A woman who could catch the eye of Xia Zheng surely wasn’t ordinary.

Indeed, with just a little scheming, Zhao Hongsheng quickly ascertained Lin Yuan’s capabilities. She truly was not to be underestimated!

However, the more Zhao Hongsheng’s shrewd wolf-like eyes considered the matter, the more they revealed curiosity and a desire to conquer.

Naturally, Third Prince Zhao Hongde also received the news, but according to the message from his mother, Lin Yuan seemed to be a very remarkable woman. Just from how incessantly Princess Anle praised her, it was apparent.

Su Qiuyu, who was the Prime Minister’s only beloved daughter, couldn’t even catch the eye of Princess Anle, let alone anyone else. But this Lin Yuan, she was indeed formidable!

While Zhao Hongde was curious about Lin Yuan, he also felt some concern. If this young girl was as shrewd and formidable as others, it would be just fine, but if she was more like Sister-in-law Tianhui, a gentle-natured woman, then there could be trouble. Tian Hui came from a noble lineage, with an aunt who was a consort in the current dynasty to support her, and with Princess Anle, a formidable mother-in-law to back her, naturally, she had an advantage in the capital.

But what about Lin Yuan? She was just a girl from the countryside, with no strong family backing at home, and no influential friends or relatives in the capital. If she really ended up marrying Xia Zheng, she might find it difficult to make friends in the capital, right?

Zhao Hongde sighed, somewhat worried for the future of Xia Zheng and Lin Yuan. However, he also seemed to have detected Princess Anle’s intention to find an opportunity to provide Lin Yuan with a suitable status, which could be feasible. After all, in the capital, one’s background was a very important matter.

With the affair in Yecheng concluded, Lin Yuan and the others happily returned to Zhuma Town. Although it had only been a few days since they had last seen each other, Lady Liu was still incredibly worried, despite Lin Yuan not mentioning the conflict with Drunken Immortal Residence.

As if to comfort their mother, Lin Wei and Xiao Linshuang both vied to tell her about their experiences in Yecheng, speaking excitedly about the tall buildings, the crowds of people, and, of course, the delicious food. Xiao Linshuang even bought two large pieces of sweet cake for her parents before they left, though most of it eventually ended up in her own stomach.

Liu’s Brewery had been renovated and the production of rice wine and hawthorn wine had already started to hit the market. As a collaborator of Liu’s Brewery, Fuman Building naturally got the first batch of fine wine. Especially the hawthorn wine, it was indeed a delight to the palate to enjoy a glass of this slightly sour and sweet, not-too-strong wine after a hot pot meal in winter.

Besides supplying to Fuman Building, Liu’s Brewery also opened its own business. Although it was a newly established brewery with a reputation not as big as the Meng Family Wine House, it had the advantage of new varieties of wine that were more suitable for women who did not drink strong alcohol. Thus, the business of Liu’s Brewery was gradually picking up.

The Meng Family Wine House, famous for producing strong liquors, did not take their new competitor seriously at all, as she was an unmarried woman who made wine specifically for women. Meng Tong even went to congratulate Liu Limin with a jar of his strong liquor on the opening day of Liu’s Brewery.

Though he called it a celebration, it was actually mockery. Which respectable family’s daughter would open a shop to sell wine? Besides, being a Wine Lady wasn’t so easy to become.

However, upon seeing Liu Limin’s beautiful and slightly stubborn face, Meng Tong suddenly forgot the purpose of his visit to Liu’s Brewery. His eyes narrowed lecherously, unabashedly staring at her for a long while.
