A loud cry broke the silent night. In the courtyard of the Wang family mansion, people were busy welcoming the daughter-in-law. Mr. Wang was very happy when his sister was born. At this time, the first vat of wine in the winery was brewed, and the aroma lingered for a long time. People all wished Mr. Wang a double happiness. The new wine produced by Mr. Wang's winery was bound to be a big seller. When he was happy, he named his little daughter Mi Xiang.
There is a local custom that when a daughter is born, a jar of wine is buried under a tree. When she gets married, she will dig it out and share it with all her relatives and friends, so that the daughter's marriage will be auspicious.
In the blink of an eye, Mi Xiang has grown up. The 18-year-old Mi Xiang is proficient in all kinds of music, chess, calligraphy and painting. Her beauty and talent have spread throughout the local urban and rural areas early, and there is an endless stream of people coming to propose marriage.
But Mr. Wang is a special person. She has different conditions for choosing a son-in-law than others. Others are looking for a rich and powerful uncle for their daughter, but he has a special requirement, that is, the uncle must know how to drink.
In order to gain the approval of Mr. Wang, many young masters have devoted themselves to opening wine. This has also made the Wang family's wine particularly popular. Mr. Wang's business has also grown bigger and bigger, and soon it has become one of the top wine shops in the area.
Wang Mixiang stayed at home every day, feeling very bored, so she wanted to sneak out to have a look. It was the Lantern Festival, and with the help of maid Xiaoyue, the two of them quietly ran to the street. They disguised themselves as men, just not wanting to attract the attention of men.
The most meaningful part of the Lantern Festival is guessing lantern riddles. Someone shouted, and whoever guessed the riddle correctly would be rewarded with a jar of wine from the Wang family, which attracted many people to watch.
Many people look at so many lamps and are fans of . Everyone is a monk who is two feet tall and confused, and they cannot guess it at all. Suddenly, a man guessed three lantern riddles in succession and won three jars of wine.
This guessing young man was a scholar who was going to Beijing to take the exam. His name was Zhou Sui. Many people made fun of his name and laughed at his child-like IQ. However, he did not argue with others, but laughed at himself along with others.
Seeing that this poor scholar had no money and power, the store owner wanted to cheat and refused to give him wine for his first birthday. However, the scholars nearby refused and started arguing with the store manager.
Wang Mixiang was very angry when she saw this situation, and went up to argue with the store. Xiaoyue, who was sharp-eyed, realized that this was her Wang family's branch, so she pulled Wang Zhangxiang aside and gave her an idea.
Because the shopkeeper's man was strong and powerful, the poor scholars were no match for them. After several struggles, they all retreated in despair, leaving only one year old, who still refused to leave.
Xiaoyue took Wang Mixiang's token and found the shopkeeper. When the shopkeeper saw that it was his own lady's token, he immediately sent someone to give the wine to Zhou Sui.
When she was one year old, she saw that Wang Mixiang was very handsome and helped her get the wine she deserved, so she insisted on dragging Wang Mixiang to drink. After Zheng Xiaoyue left the store, she could not see Miss Wang.
Since he had no money to drink in a shop, he pulled Wang Mixiang to the pavilion by the lake, put the wine on the stone table, and prepared to have a drink with Wang Mixiang.
At first, Wang Mixiang declined, saying that she didn’t know how to drink. Under Zhou Sui’s strong request, the two of them let go and started drinking.
The two of them chatted happily, talking about the fields and mountains and rivers from poems and songs. Wang Mixiang had a strong interest and yearning for the world described by Zhou Zui. After several bowls of wine, Zhou Zui was already in a daze. Wang Mixiang grew up in a winery and had already developed the ability to drink a thousand cups without getting drunk.
At this time, Xiaoyue also found Wang Mixiang. From Xiaoyue's slip of the tongue, she also guessed that Mr. Wang was actually Miss Wang. She was surprised and happy, and she immediately felt admiration in her heart.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Nai was too drunk and fell to the ground. The two women struggled to drag Zhou Nai. At this time, Mr. Ma and a group of servants passed by and happened to see this scene.
accidentally saw Wang Mixiang's long hair scattered and discovered that the handsome young man was actually a woman. He immediately became interested in this person and led everyone towards them.
After Wang Mixiang tidied up her hair, she saw Ma Gongzi and his group, and felt like a savior. She was grateful to Ma Gongzi for helping her get her birthday to the hotel. Mr. Ma did not reveal Wang Mixiang's daughter's identity to his face, but instead became brothers with Wang, which made Wang Mixiang lower his guard against him.
Master Ma Youcai has a very strong influence in the local area. After he learned that Wang Mixiang was the daughter of the Wang family, he found the Wang family to propose marriage through his own connections. Master Wang was very angry. Ma Youcai already had a wife and wanted to marry his daughter as a concubine. This Ma Youcai is a famous playboy and an uneducated person.
After waking up from the hotel the next day, Xiaoyue came to the door. Only then did Zhou Sui realize that he was not dreaming. He took out a new fan on the spot, wrote a poem expressing his love on it, and gave it to Wang Mixiang.
Wang Mixiang was very happy to receive her birthday gift, so she gave her embroidered mandarin duck handkerchief to her birthday, with the word "香" embroidered on it.
Suddenly, Mr. Wang fell ill. It turned out that the housekeeper of the Ma family came to the house again and used his official power to threaten Mr. Wang. Ma Youcai insisted on marrying Wang Mixiang as his concubine. Mr. Wang was helpless and furious, and fell to the ground.
After Wang Mixiang learned about it, she immediately ran to Mr. Wang. Unexpectedly, Mr. Wang already knew about Wang Mixiang and Zhou Sui and let his daughter make her own choice.
For the sake of his daughter's happiness, Mr. Wang actually told his daughter to elope with Zhou Sui. After hearing his father's words, Wang Mixiang was very reluctant to leave him and left him in tears.
Taking advantage of the moonlight, Wang Mixiang and Xiaoyue left the Wang family. They met Zhou Sui at the pavilion by the lake and eloped. Unexpectedly, Ma Youcai had bribed the servants of the Wang family and passed the news to Ma Youcai.
Ma Youcai led the servants to guard the only way to the pavilion by the lake early. Wang Mixiang and Xiaoyue saw Ma Youcai and the others, so they could only take a detour to find Zhou Sui.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Sui was surrounded by another group of Ma Youcai's men by the lake. They beat him severely and then threw him into the lake. When Wang Mixiang and Xiaoyue arrived under the pavilion by the lake, no one could be seen.
When daybreak came, they had no choice but to go out of the city to look for Zhou Sui. Ma Youcai thought he was done, but he couldn't find Wang Mixiang. In anger, he used his own power to close down all the Wang family's wine shops. From then on, the Wang family's business was no longer viable.
Fortunately, Mr. Wang has saved some money over the years and can still live a good life. After Wang Mixiang learned what happened to her family, she felt very guilty and wanted to go back, but was pulled away by Xiaoyue.
When Zhou Sui opened his eyes again, he was lying under a big tree, and a beggar was standing next to him. He looked familiar to the beggar. It turned out that they were drinking that night, and Zhou Sui also gave a jar of wine to the beggar. The beggar would stop by the lake to beg.
Such a generous person made the beggar remember him deeply. That night, the beggar witnessed Zhou Sui being beaten and thrown into the lake. The beggar jumped into the lake and rescued Zhou Sui.
Zhou Sui learned that the beggar had saved him, and immediately knelt down to thank his benefactor for saving his life. The beggar took out a gourd from behind and asked Zhou Sui to drink a few sips of wine to drive away the coldness in his body.
The beggar said that he could not bear to drink, so he saved the wine into the gourd. He did not expect that he could still help the first year old at this time. When I saw the beggar being so kind, I was even more grateful.
After taking a few sips of wine, he felt dizzy and fainted. When he woke up again, the beggar was no longer around. He thought of Wang Mixiang and hurriedly looked around.
After several inquiries, he still couldn't find Wang Mixiang's whereabouts, so Zhou Sui thought that if he won the list, Wang Mixiang might find him immediately after he found out.
Ma Youcai knew that Zhou Sui was not dead. He was still angry and wanted to cause trouble for Zhou Sui. He Zhou Sui had already gone to Beijing to take the exam.
So, Ma Youcai once again used his strong relationship to specifically defam the first year's test paper, which caused the first year's test to fail, and the first year's frustration was disappointed. When he thought that there was still someone waiting for him, he mustered up the courage to prepare for the next scientific exam.
After failing the exam, he was penniless and became a beggar. He went around and went to beg for a wine shop. The restaurant was short of staff, so he recruited him to the wine shop to do hard work.
I happened to find a place to eat at the age of 0. He worked very hard in Saxing and knew how to write, and gradually became a helper in the account room.
But he kept asking about Wang Mixiang's whereabouts, but there was no reply.
When he saved up enough silver, he bid farewell to his wine shop and was about to find Wang Mixiang. As time passed by bit by bit, slowly, he realized that his hair and beard were gray.
Wang Mixiang, who had been looking for decades, still couldn't find Wang Mixiang. At this time, he had already had his own way of traveling. When he was passing by a village with his followers, he became interested in the name of the village.
This village is called Jiaozi Village. Every family in this village has a cellar. Nothing else is hidden in the cellar, but wine is hidden. People in this village know how to drink.
years old asked people to stop the carriage and enter the village. The people in the village were kind. When he wanted to visit the wine-making master in the village, everyone was recommending the same place to him.
When he came to this place, he saw a gray-haired woman tasting wine in the yard, and this woman was Wang Mixiang.
安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安安�
At this time, Xiaoyue also walked to the front of the first year and said angrily, "Young Master Zhou, where have you been going in the past years?" But my lady has been waiting for you for a hard time. Every year, she will put a jar of wine in the yard, pointing at the wine jars all over the yard, and shouting that we have been waiting for you for 88 years."
The people and things in front of me were shocked. I was so excited that I wanted to say something, but I couldn't say it. Wang Mixiang walked to Zhousui and took out the fan he gave her. Zhousui also took out the handkerchief he had collected. Both of them started to laugh.
My eyes turned dark. When I opened my eyes again, Zhou Sui looked at his hand and then at the big tree above his head. He felt that he had a very long dream. He immediately stood up and looked at his reflection by the lake. Everything was incredible.
By the memory in his dream, he ran to that village and went to that village, but the village was not called Jiaozi Village. He collapsed on the ground in obscurity.
At this time, Xiaoyue's scream made him feel shocked, and Miss Wang was indeed waiting here.
A few years later, the name of this village was indeed changed to Jiaozi Village. The most famous wine shop in the village is the Zhou Family Wine Shop. After a young age, he gave birth to a son with Wang Mixiang and grew up to be the top scorer in high school.
Storytelling rose up and said to everyone, "My benefactors, as the saying goes, lovers finally get married, true love is hidden in the 1988 years, and happy weddings are coming."
After hearing this, everyone stood up, applauded and congratulated the top scholar to wish the wedding a happy newcomer, and the real double happiness was coming.
