Chapter 165 Plum Wine
The adults beside him, Buerhe, raised an eyebrow at the Fourth Lady, who also grinned silently. She had never expected her simple and honest son to be so impressive. At such a young age, he hadn't chosen anything else, but he had already chosen the Crown Princess's most prized niece. He was truly a teachable child.
The Ninth and Tenth Concubines also laughed. Their children were still young, so it was too early to make plans now. However, the two younger sisters-in-law were mostly envious of the fact that the Fourth and Second Sisters-in-law could become relatives.
Only now he didn't understand anything. He just thought that his sister had a conflict with the eldest prince of Prince Yong's Mansion, and now they have reconciled. Sashiku now looks confused. After seeing his sister smile, he also smiled foolishly.
Seeing such a cousin and study partner, even Hongye, who was always tolerant, sighed inwardly. Fortunately, this was just his cousin and not his sister, otherwise he would definitely go up and beat up the brat who stole his sister.
The author is just thinking in his mind: Be careful not to get slapped in the face if you say too much, the brat who stole your sister will be online soon!
There was nothing to do here, so Bu Erhe didn't stay for long. Instead, he took the three adults back to the main courtyard. As for here, the same thing applies: let the children handle their own affairs. Bu Erhe also believed in the abilities of Jingyi and Hongye. They were just a few younger brothers and sisters, and they could handle it.
It was almost noon when the kitchen, which had been busy with drums and gongs for the whole morning, finally finished its work. The children set up a table in Jingyi's yard, and the wet nurse and maids took care of them. In the main courtyard, the four sisters-in-law also set up a table. Because there were no children, Buerhe specially took out the peach blossom wine he had brewed earlier.
Buerhe: "Today we don't have to take care of the children, and the weather is perfect. This peach blossom wine is just right for drinking. We have to drink a few more cups at least."
The Ninth Lady was still as generous as ever: "Second sister-in-law brewed this year's new wine? Then we must drink a few more cups. Last year, the two pots of this wine were delivered to our house. On the first day, our master secretly drank one pot in the front yard. If I hadn't discovered it early, I probably wouldn't have tasted the rest."
Tenth Concubine: "Who says it's not true? It's a similar situation in our mansion. Logically, this peach blossom wine is most suitable for us women, but our master refused to leave and insisted on drinking it with me. In the end, most of it went into Yin's stomach."
After saying that, everyone looked at the Fourth Lady, who smiled shyly at this time: "Our master didn't try to rob me. When he brought it back, he said that this wine was suitable for me to drink, so the two pots finally belonged to me."
The Ninth and Tenth Concubines looked at the Fourth Concubine with envy: "Fourth brother is so good to Fourth sister-in-law."
Buerhe looked at the three people singing a duet with amusement, and had no choice but to promise aloud: "Alright, alright, stop it. Last year, because it was a new wine, we didn't make much peach blossom wine, so each family only had two pots. This year is different. In the first half of the year, I prepared several large jars. This time, you can at least take half a jar home with you."
Seeing the excitement of the Fourth Lady and the others, Bull and She shook their heads in amusement: "Are you satisfied just now? This year, I made more than just peach blossom wine!"
The Tenth Lady was quick-witted and immediately responded: "Second sister-in-law, good second sister-in-law, if you have any good things, please share some with us concubines to taste."
After being reminded by the Tenth Lady, the Fourth Lady and the Ninth Lady also reacted: "Yes, yes, Second Sister-in-law has a lot of good things here. We are all family and good friends. If you have anything else, please share it with your dear Second Sister-in-law!"
Buerhe nodded at the Tenth Lady who came up first with a flattering smile and said, "You, if anyone ever calls our Baoyin simple-minded again, I will be the first to disagree. Looking at your reaction speed, you are really something to behold."
The Tenth Lady nodded sheepishly, "Oh, dear Second Sister-in-law, quickly tell me what else you have prepared?"
Buerhe didn't keep the secret any longer and asked Qi'er to bring up the other pot of wine he had prepared. He stood up and poured a glass for each of the three brothers and sisters in front of him. "Try it. This is plum wine that was just brewed this year. I personally participated in cleaning and making it. It's all top-quality plums, and I've added a few health-preserving herbs. Try it and see if it suits your taste."
Hearing another unusual name, the few of them drank it all without hesitation. The plum wine had a light, mild flavor, with a hint of fruit and a hint of medicinal herbs. It was a good combination, more like a fruit drink than a wine.
Tenth Lady: "Second sister-in-law, isn't this a bar? It feels more like juice, and it tastes pretty good."
The Ninth Lady nodded in agreement. "Yes, it's lighter than canned juice, and it has a slight medicinal taste, but overall it's more like a drink."
Bull and his companions smiled silently, then slowly sipped their wine. This plum wine was different from peach blossom wine. The ingredients inside were all good, and the purity was higher than that of peach blossom wine. If one savored it slowly, the effect might gradually be stimulated, slowly seeping into the body. However, if one drank it all in one gulp, the effect would be noticeable, and the intoxication would quickly set in.
When Buerhe was halfway through his sip, the Fourth Lady suddenly felt something was wrong: "This, this wine, why does my face feel so hot? Is this wine so strong?"
Of the group, the Fourth Lady could be said to have the worst alcohol tolerance, so she was the first to react. The Ninth and Tenth Lady looked in her direction and saw that her face had begun to slowly turn red, radiating heat. Furthermore, her eyes were beginning to blur. If they hadn't known she had only had one drink, the Ninth and Tenth Lady would have thought she was drunk.
Seeing the Fourth Lady's reaction, the two of them stared at Buerhe curiously, waiting for an explanation. Buerhe put down his wine glass and said, "Don't worry, it's okay. This plum wine takes effect quickly and wears off quickly. Fourth Sister-in-law just drank too much, and she can't drink much to begin with, so she has such a big reaction. Wait a little while, and she should sober up."
The Tenth Lady's eyes lit up. "Second sister-in-law, are you saying this plum wine is quite strong? I won't get a hangover after drinking it?"
The Ninth Lady's eyes sparkled, awaiting an answer. Buerhe nodded reservedly, "Of course you do. Look who brewed this! If it were just ordinary plum wine, would I recommend it to you? These are all carefully crafted by me, and I've even had them examined by imperial physicians. Drinking this will warm a woman's hands and feet, promote blood circulation, reduce stasis, reduce swelling, replenish qi and blood, beautify the complexion, and even regulate minor ailments like irregular menstruation and lower abdominal cramps."
You just had a drink, so you should be able to feel its effects now, right?"
After Buerhe's persuasion, the two of them quickly began to feel the changes in their bodies. After a while, the Ninth Lady exclaimed in surprise, "It's really just as Second Sister-in-law said. I had some minor abdominal cramps these past few days, but now they've really eased a lot."
The Tenth Lady also happily replied, "Yes, yes. My hands and feet are feeling very warm now. If the weather wasn't too hot, I would probably be sweating."
At this moment, the Fourth Lady also recovered. She didn't touch the wine glass again, but took a big sip of tea from the side before speaking: "This wine is really strong. I think I can drink a lot, but I was just knocked out by a glass. Fortunately, the aftereffect of this wine is not that strong, or like Second Sister-in-law said, even if I get drunk, I won't feel uncomfortable. The wine Second Sister-in-law brewed this time is really strong!"
As soon as the Fourth Lady's comments came out, Buerhe was greeted by three pairs of bright eyes and eager looks. Buerhe held his forehead helplessly and said, "Okay, okay, I understand. You will all have your share when you go back later. But I also want to explain in advance that since this is the first time brewing, the quantity is not too large, and each person will not get a lot, so don't worry."
The Fourth, Ninth, and Tenth Concubines were also not doing this for the first time. Upon hearing this, they nodded quickly: "I know, I know. As long as it's given by Second Sister-in-law, any amount is fine."
