Chapter 177 Another trip

Zhang Ze had no choice but to hand it over.

Xiao Yu quickly took a step towards the king and took the bottle in his hand.

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

Zhang Ze looked at the backs of his father and son and was about to cry without tears. He turned around and walked towards Su Chen's yard.

Su Chen is sitting in front of the window practicing calligraphy. The sun has been good these days, and sitting by the window feels warm all over.

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

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

Zhang Ze came in and stammered about the matter.

Su Chen frowned slightly, "Uncle is interested in the wine, and brother Yu is interested in the bottle?"

“Brother Yu wants to exchange bottles from your kiln with me?”

Zhang Ze nodded vigorously, that's what happened.

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

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

He muttered, "Miss Xiao Fei brought those two bottles of wine to me with her own hands."

Su Chen was silent for a long time and pursed his lips, "Since uncle asked you to go, then you should go again and tell Uncle Gu carefully that it would be okay if there is wine. If there is no wine, please give the prince a reply." That’s it.”

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

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

Gu Zhang gave Liu Zhuangtou half a deer and was spinning around, when he happened to see Zhang Ze dismounting at the door.

“Brother Zhang, why is your work spinning so fast right now? You must have pulled something down, right?”

Zhang Ze's face was full of embarrassment, "Second Uncle Gu, um, I just brought two bottles of wine back, and I happened to run into Wang—and my uncle. My uncle loves wine and he praised your wine for good. I’ll ask you again to get some back.”

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

He let Zhang Ze in and said, "Brother Zhang, wait a minute. I have to ask my daughter. She kept this wine. I don't know if there is any more."

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

Gu Zhang told Zhang Ze's reason for coming. Gu Feizheng felt that the return gift was too little, but he certainly couldn't give too much. After all, Zhang Ze came with them all the way, and there wasn't even a wine jar on the mule cart. It was too much. On the contrary, it arouses suspicion.

He nodded and said, "There is still some wine, but not much, probably about two kilograms, but -"

“I just moved here and my things haven’t been packed yet. Brother Zhang, please wait while I go find a suitable jar.”

Zhang Ze hurriedly said: "There's no need to be so particular. The plum blossom vase from before is just fine."

Gu Fei laughed dryly, "I keep those bottles for fun, just those two. Brother Zhang, sit down for a while and I'll come back as soon as I go."

 Gu Fei quickly went to the front yard and searched in the kitchen for a long time. He only saw a few black pottery pickle jars, which had a sour smell and were not only dirt-heavy but also large.

After rummaging around for a while, Gu Fei suddenly remembered the water bag she had used for drinking water on the road. She quickly found one and washed it, closed the kitchen door, took out a bottle of Wuliangye and poured it into it.
