She is 65 years old.

  Su Lianwei, considering that Da Hu was unwilling to leave the village, took advantage of the wine shop in the county town to call Su Hao back and forced Su Bai to sleep in the shop to keep watch.

  The yard of the Li family home was brightly lit, and under the same old tree stood a small table surrounded by four people.

  Su Lianwei, Chu Ying, Da Hu and Su Hao.

  On the table were placed three bowls, in which was poured wine and water. In the light of the lamp, they shone with a soft and gentle radiance - this was the victorious wine.

  Xiao Ru leaned in with her small mouth and said, "Lian Yi, I also want to try a little bit, just drink a tiny bit, okay?" She pleaded bitterly.

  "No way, you're pregnant, alcohol is bad for the fetus, don't even think about it, I won't let you drink." Liang Wei said, her face stern and unyielding.

  Why can Su Lianhui, a modern person, drink so much wine? Is her alcohol tolerance good? Of course not! This has to be traced back to the ancient brewing techniques.

  In ancient times, people drank more brewed liquor, with the highest being fifteen degrees. Fifteen-degree limit wine products are rare, and general wines are around ten degrees, which is turbid but has a fragrant and mellow taste, and its nutritional content is much richer than distilled liquor.

  But the modern liquor with an alcohol content of over 50 degrees is distilled liquor, which is different from brewed liquor. Distilled liquor relies on the principle of water vapor condensing into liquid when it meets cold air to distill out the alcohol, although it retains some of the aroma of the raw materials. However, compared to the original flavor and taste of brewed liquor, it's like drinking pure alcohol, lacking in flavor.

  So, brewing wine, its flavor and mouthfeel are more important!

  Dà Hǔ didn't react like Sū Hào, who would exclaim in admiration at the smell of wine. Instead, he still had that same expressionless face, picked up his bowl and took a sip, but didn't rush to swallow, letting the wine linger in his mouth as he savored its flavor.

  The other three people did not make a sound, eagerly waiting for Da Hu to make his verdict on the wine. Da Hu, however, lowered his eyes and slowly swallowed the first mouthful of wine, then took another sip. The second mouthful didn't linger in his mouth for long before he swallowed it directly. After taking the third mouthful, he put down his bowl.

  "Good wine." said Da Hu, "This wine is of the best quality, even the tribute wine in the palace is no better than this."

  At the first light of dawn, she wanted to drink even more. Taking advantage of Su Lian's gaze at Da Hu, her little thumb slipped into Lian's bowl and quickly dipped in a bit, then savored it in her mouth. Her big eyes narrowed into crescent moons as she nodded repeatedly, indicating her agreement with Da Hu's words.

  Su Lian's heart was tied up, staring at Da Hu's eyes with great anxiety - still offering wine! You, a country bumpkin, what do you know about offering wine? Are you suspicious of Su Hao and Chu Yue not knowing your identity? Ambush should have the appearance of an ambush, don't always secretly reveal your identity, okay?

  The big tiger suddenly understood the ripples in her eyes, lightly shrugged his shoulders, and also gave her a look - it was you who let me taste the wine, I just told the truth.

  Lian Yi hastily looked at Su Hao, fortunately, Su Hao was a simple-minded person and didn't catch the trick in Da Hu's words. "Yes, its raw materials are cooked twice, and the wine yeast is also top-grade refined rice. The temperature control of this cellar is also very good, neither too high to stop fermentation nor too low to cause insufficient wine strength." As soon as he finished speaking, worry once again climbed onto his face.

  Chu Ying nodded in agreement.

  "Su Jia wine either needs to put in effort on the raw materials, which would necessarily increase costs, or it will be like this, with no competitiveness at all."

  "Otherwise... we lower the price?" Su Hao hesitated.

  "You come down, and he will follow suit. A few thousand taels of silver mean nothing to him, but a few thousand taels can crush our Su family's small wine shop." Lianyi analyzed calmly.

  "What's to be done? Is the Su family winery going to come to an end in my hands, Su Hao? A hundred years from now, what face will I have to meet Grandpa and Grandma with?" Su Hao was in great pain, his two hands propped on the table as he crazily grasped at his hair.

  Lianyi grabbed Su Hao's hand and stopped his self-abuse, "Brother, don't worry, I've already thought of a way. We might need to go out for an inspection soon, and then we'll put it into action."

  Dà Hǔ looked at Sū Liǎn Wī with a surprised gaze, now that things had come to this point, there was no longer any room for retreat. That wine was going to be the death of the Su family's wine, what could she do?

  Su Hao looked up in surprise, his eyes filled with incredulity, "Really? Liang Wei... you... really have a way?"

  Su Lianwei smiled, her eyebrows and eyes gentle, her tone soft as water. "Brother, when has Lianwei ever deceived you?"

  Su Hao grasped Su Lianwei's hand, "Little sister, I... am useless, everything has to rely on you, little sister, it's hard on you."

  Lianyi slowly shook his head, "Everyone has their strengths and weaknesses, I'm not useless, I'm a down-to-earth person who gets things done. Your advantages, I appreciate them too."

  Chu Yue was impatient to see the two siblings' affection, extremely anxious, grabbed Ling's collar, "Ling, quickly tell me what method you have? Ling is so great, nothing can stump you, I like Ling the most."

  "This," her bright and sparkling eyes rolled around, "heavenly secrets cannot be revealed, once revealed, they lose their magic."

  "Tell me." Chū Yīng didn't comply.

  Da Hu smiled silently, thinking to himself that Su Lianhui probably didn't have any good methods, and was just saying this to comfort Su Hao and Chu Yue. He thought again, Su Lianhui was also a weak woman, who had to make decisions on big and small matters, it was indeed difficult for her.

  Is there really a good way for Su Lianwei? Of course, there is.

  Su Lianwei was not a person who shot randomly, but now she absolutely couldn't say anything. Having learned from the last time she went to Xian Shui Tan, she summed up an experience - if she went out to do something important, she had to keep it from Chu Yue, otherwise Chu Yue would definitely want to follow her. This child was getting more and more willful, but Su Lianwei was helpless, after all, Chu Yue was pregnant and didn't want to make her unhappy.

  The first firefly saw that no matter how hard it tried, it couldn't get out of the whirlpool's decision, so it had to give up.

  Next is the time for Da Hu and Su Hao, who compare and taste the victory wine and Su family wine repeatedly, thinking and researching to improve the secret formula.

  Su Lianwei didn't understand wine, and was also a bit tired, so she left her seat, ignoring Chu Ying's opposition, and forcibly sent her back home to rest - pregnant women must ensure they get enough sleep.

  When Ripples sent the first firefly back, she found Su Hao and Da Hu still enthusiastically discussing and researching.

  Lianyi smiled and didn't disturb the two, but entered the house to tidy up her own room. After tidying up her own room, she still had nothing to do, so she helped Datou tidy up his room.

  The big tiger's room is still spotless, not a speck of dust anywhere, it doesn't look like a man lives here at all. Whether it's clothes or miscellaneous items, everything is neatly arranged, this layout has been the same since the day the room was built, and in over a month, not a single item has changed position.

  A person's behavior can reflect that person's character, and from this point of view, Da Hu is a highly self-disciplined and principled person.

  Lianyi walked around Da Hu's room in a circle and suddenly felt at a loss for what to do, so she retreated and went out.

  Su Hao, who was in the midst of a heated debate, turned around to see Lian Yi coming out of the house, looking rather embarrassed. "Ah, I'm really sorry about this. I got so caught up in my conversation with Da Hu that I lost track of time and delayed your rest."

  This was Su Hao's first in-depth conversation with his brother-in-law. Previously, he had only superficial contact and thought that Da Hu was honest and capable, but now after a deep conversation, he discovered that Da Hu was knowledgeable and had broad insights. Although his appearance was not handsome, what's important about a man's looks? It must be said that his own sister had picked up a treasure.

  But thinking again, it's not that simple. The big tiger is good, but his own sister is not an ordinary person. It can only be said that the two are a perfect match, a heavenly pair.

  "Brother, no need to go yet, it's still early. Usually, Da Hu and I don't rest this early either. It's not easy for you to come back to the village, let's talk a bit more." Lian Hui hurriedly stopped him.

  Dà Hǔ's face suddenly turned red, Sū Hào's meaning was that the two would rest together, naturally sharing a bed, and Liǎn Yī didn't refute it, saying it so naturally, why did he... just...

  Just then, the courtyard was kicked open by someone with extreme rudeness.

  Everyone was shocked and looked up to see it was actually Jiang.

  Since Su Hao moved the winery to a new location, he was too busy to return home to Sujiacun Village. Later, he had to work every day at the county town wine shop, and it was even more impossible for him to go back home. It wasn't just that he "couldn't", but also that he "didn't want to". After enjoying a peaceful life, Su Hao didn't want to face Jiangshi's nagging again.

  Jiang waited at home every day for Su Hao's return, holding back her temper, but she couldn't wait any longer, and the fire in her heart grew bigger and bigger until today when she heard that Su Hao had returned to the village.

  Returned to the village but didn't go home, how unreasonable! Just then, Jiang Shi, who was furious, directly rushed to Su Lianwei's house, preparing to drag back that disobedient Su Hao.

  "I'm asking you, Su Hao, do you still want a home? Since moving to the county, you don't come back every day. When you finally return, you hide in this dark place like a ghost. Are you trying to get yourself killed?" She pointed at Su Hao and scolded loudly, also cursing Su Lianwei's whole family until they were speechless.

  She was stunned for a moment, then she was so angry that she couldn't help but cry and laugh at the same time. How can there be such an unreasonable person in this world? Has her brother always been bullied by this shrew like this? It's simply too much!

  But Su Lian thought again, what's the use of being angry and dissatisfied with outsiders? Her brother has never refuted it, maybe he is used to this way of life. Every family has its own difficulties, it's best not to interfere in other people's business unless necessary.

  Thinking of this, Lianyi retreated and quietly observed the changes.

  Dà Hǔ gave Jiǎng Shì a cold, hard stare, and the murderous aura emanating from him caused Jiǎng Shì to involuntarily take a step back. Jiǎng Shì was about to launch into a loud tirade, but upon taking in Dà Hǔ's towering physique, which dwarfed Sū Hào's slender build by a full head and a large circle, he didn't dare utter a word.

  "What's with you, Su Hao? Acting like a dead man? Normally, you can't even get a fart out of ten sticks, people who know you say you're taciturn, and those who don't think you're a mute idiot." Jiang's hands were on her hips, scolding one person while actually criticizing another, seemingly targeting Su Hao but in fact making a veiled attack on Da Hu.

  How could a great tiger not hear? But a good man does not fight with a woman, and can only clench his muscles in anger, yet be unable to do anything about it.

  "Big Tiger, tomorrow we'll change the gate of our house to a more solid one," Lingling said slowly and calmly, as if it were an ordinary conversation between husband and wife. But suddenly her tone changed, filled with sarcasm, "Otherwise, all sorts of stray cats and dogs will keep getting in and dirtying up the yard."

  "Su Liangwei, who are you talking about?" Jiang's family suddenly got angry.

  "Whoever acknowledges is whoever says." Liang Wei still had that lukewarm attitude, turned her head and said, "Did you hear that, Da Hu? Even if a mad dog doesn't bite people, its loud barking is enough to make one's skin crawl."

  Even the usually stoic Da Hu couldn't help but want to smile now. By day, Su Lianhui could determine the fate of the entire Su family winery with her strategic mind; by night, she could put aside her dignity and engage in a war of words with Jiang Shi, exchanging insults like a shrewish woman. It had to be said that Su Lianhui was a versatile talent. "En, I know," he said, since she had helped him out of a tight spot, he naturally also wanted to help her out, wasn't it?

  "Y...y..." Jiang's face turned ugly, "Su Liangwei, I am your elder sister-in-law!"

  Lianyi raised an eyebrow, "What are you like my sister-in-law? Not a bit of upbringing, scolding my brother in front of outsiders, do you give men any face? What is my brother to you? You married into our Su family and what have you contributed? Every day you're messing around with that Liu woman, even the Liu woman has distanced herself from you, can't you see your own virtue? These words, as a younger sister-in-law, I shouldn't be saying, but Jiangshi, you've gone too far."

  "Y...y..." Jiang didn't expect Lianyi to scold her like that.

  "You really think the Su family is easy to bully, you think my brother can't find another woman besides you? With our current wealth and status, my brother said he wants to take a concubine, which village or town in this area doesn't have a beautiful girl who wouldn't be tempted? Jiang Shi, I must say, your luck is good because you married my brother, but no matter how good one's fate is, it can't withstand evil deeds. Those who do too many unjust things will eventually suffer the consequences, and you will sooner or later reap what you've sown."

  Jiang saw that the argument was not going in her favor, so she began to prepare to strike Su Lianwei's weak point. "Su Lianwei, you shameless slut, have you forgotten how you seduced the second young master of the Li family..."

  "That's enough!" Su Hao finally got angry, at this time even if someone had a good temper, they would have reached their limit. He wasn't afraid of the Jiang family, but he felt that since a woman had traveled thousands of miles to marry him, he should pamper her and love her. If the woman was being willful, he could tolerate it; if she hit or scolded him, he could also tolerate it, but what he couldn't stand was her insulting his own family!

  The second sister, Lingwei, has now become sensible and it's a joyous occasion to celebrate. However, the foolish things she did in the past have left scars. He never mentions how Lingwei was before, not wanting to touch on her sore spots, but this foolish woman surprisingly starts scolding as soon as she opens her mouth.

  "Jiang Yufen... you... get out!" Su Hao scolded Jiang for the first time by name, stuttering but feeling extremely relieved after saying "get out", as if he had wanted to say that word for a long time.

  "You! Su Hao, are you going to give up on this family or what?" Jiang's wife slapped her thigh and was about to cry out loud.

  Su Hao helplessly said, "Not cherishing this home has always been you."

  Jiang had the intention to retreat in her heart, wanting to plead for mercy, but as soon as she saw Su Lianying smiling at her, she felt that she couldn't afford to lose face. A surge of unexplained anger rose up from below, and the crying and shouting she had prepared was swallowed back again. "Hmph, Su Hao, do you really think I, Jiang Yufen, can't live without you? Let's see about that!" With that, she turned around and left, slamming the gate of Lianying's house on her way out.

  Su Hao sat down painfully, grasping his hair with both hands, too ashamed to face his sister and brother-in-law, a true family scandal.

  Lianyi blinked and asked with her eyes - what can be done about this?

  The big tiger shook its head lightly, with an innocent look in its eyes - I don't know either.

  Helpless, Liang Wei walked over and sat down in front of Su Hao, "Brother, listen to me, okay?"

  Su Hao raised his head, his eyes were red, and his tears were very heart-wrenching.

  "The relationship between husband and wife cannot be forced, to be honest, I've been displeased with Jiang's bullying of you for a long time, but after all, it's hard for an upright official to intervene in family matters, so I've never interfered. But now, as your sister, I must say, brother, my heart aches for you, and you should also feel sorry for yourself." Lianyi's voice was low and sincere.

  "Indeed, brother, you have a strong sense of responsibility, but as for the current situation, you've also seen it - Jiang thinks she's too good for you and that you're not worthy of her. So let's just graciously let go, and consider it giving her a path to happiness. You're doing this for her own good, not harming her. Isn't that right?" In fact, Lianyi wanted to say something else, she really wanted to scold Jiang, but she knew her brother's characteristic - his sense of responsibility was too strong.

  If she scolds Jiang strongly, Su Hao will inevitably sympathize with Jiang and repeat his old path. But on the contrary, if he slowly persuades him, Su Hao will also let go.

  Su Lianyi herself didn't know when she had slowly become a person who only looked at the results and not the process.

  As expected, after Su Lianyi's sincere and gentle persuasion, Su Hao's knot gradually opened up.

  In the past, he was afraid that after Jiang's divorce, she would have nowhere to go. He didn't want to do such a bad thing. But now that Jingyi has spoken up, perhaps what he did was also a good thing. If Jiang doesn't end up with him, maybe in the future she'll find an even better family and a man she likes more.

  Su Hao had long lost his love for Jiang's family, and all he had left was a sense of responsibility.

  "Alright, thank you, Lianyi, give me some time, I want to think about it, okay?" Su Hao said.

  "Alright, brother, as long as you can let it go." Lianyi smiled and stood up, accidentally yawning a little. After this commotion, it was already deep into the night.

  "Uh..." Su Hao looked a bit embarrassed, "Lian Yi, Da Hu, today... can I stay at your place?"

  Lian Yi was taken aback, just about to say that her house had no room, let Big Brother go to his father's house to squeeze in, but if she really said so, wouldn't it be telling Su Hao that she and Da Hu slept separately?

  Lianyi hastily looked at Datou, and Datou also looked at Lianyi with the same eyes, and the two of them actually thought alike.

  Su Hao is a simple and honest person, not good at reading between the lines. If someone else were in his place, seeing the innocent eyes of Lian Hui and Da Hu, they would have had some thoughts, but unfortunately, Su Hao was not that perceptive. "Isn't it inconvenient?" he added.

  Su Lian's heart was on the verge of tears, she should have let Jiang Shi take Su Hao away just now, but could only force a smile, "It's okay, it's okay." Tears welled up in her eyes.

  Dà Hǔ (Big Tiger) couldn't help but cough dryly, turning his back to Su Hao and staring at Su Liangwei: How can you be like this? How did you sleep just now?

  Lianyi pretended not to see Da Hu's gaze, and led Su Hao into the house. "Brother, this is our guest room, you can sleep here today," she said, pointing to Da Hu's room. "There are some of Da Hu's clothes in the guest room, because as you've seen, our rooms are small, we... uh... can't fit everything in, so we put them in the guest room."

  Su Hao hastily nodded, "It's okay, a small point doesn't matter, I'll only sleep for one night and leave for the county town early tomorrow."

  The big tiger slanted his eyes and stared at Su Liangwei: "Your brother is the one you left behind, why didn't you let him sleep in your room?"

  Just a second ago, she was smiling at Su Hao, but the next second, she turned her back on him and made a fierce face at Da Hu - That's my boudoir! A woman's boudoir! How can I let a big man sleep? Even if it's my own brother, it's not allowed.

  The big tiger saw the ripples and wanted to laugh, but held it in. He pulled down clean clothes and towels from the drying line in the yard, ready to turn around and leave.

  "Where are you going, Big Tiger?" Su Hao was slow in his reactions when dealing with people, but at this moment, his eyes were very sharp.

  The great tiger was stunned, "Go and take a bath." The immortal water pool bathed for dozens of days as if it were just one day, unaffected by wind or rain.

  Su Hao didn't know that Da Hu was going to Xian Shui Tan. "Great, let's take a bath together, brothers! Just in time for a back rub."

  Big Tiger

  "... ripple of water."

  "Alright, brother, want me to boil some hot water for you?" Then she leaned in close to Da Hu and whispered, "Don't go out today, just stay home. My brother will be leaving tomorrow, and then you can do as you please."

  "Oh, never mind, we're all men, just a cold shower will do." Dull Su Hao, can't see anything at all.

  Dà Hǔ scrunched up his eyebrows and gave Sū Liǎn Wī a fierce glare, but seeing the pleading in her eyes, her normally calm face now slightly pouting, his heart melted instantly. "Alright." He broke his usual habits, making an exception just this once.

  It's very hot in the summer, no air conditioning, no electric fan, and still wearing layers of clothes. If she doesn't take a bath at night, Su Lianying can't fall asleep.

  Boiled water, Da Hu helped bring it into the house, Su Liangwei was taking a shower in the room, while the two men were taking a shower in the yard.

  At the moment when Da Hu took out the empty bucket, he suddenly played a trick and turned his head to Su Lianwei, saying "Don't take advantage of this opportunity to sneak a peek." After that, he turned around and left.

  This made Lin Wei furious, both embarrassed and angry, "Who wants to see you!?" She didn't dare shout loudly, and stomped her foot in anger.

  The men took a cold shower faster than the women. Before long, the two of them had washed up with cold water, changed into clean clothes, and sat down at the small table under the tree to taste wine and discuss business.

  Lianyi had also finished washing up, her bathtub was specially made, with a hole at the bottom. On ordinary days when filling water, a wooden plug would be used to block the hole, and after bathing, the plug would be pulled out and the water would automatically flow out of the room through the passage left over from the renovation of the house.

  Pushing open the door, the latter half of the night was quite cool. Liangliang pulled over a small stool and sat at the entrance of the house to enjoy the cool breeze, using a handkerchief to gently wipe away the water droplets on her long hair, listening to the two people discussing back and forth, enjoying the leisure after being busy, stealing a sense of security in the midst of danger.

  This was also her first time seeing Da Hu say so many words, and it was the first time she saw Su Hao's face turn red with anger over a matter, and she couldn't help but burst out laughing.

  Su Hao heard Lianyi's laughter and suddenly remembered that Lianyi should rest after taking a bath. He turned his head and said, "Lianyi, are you done with your bath? Hurry up and sleep, you're tired today too."

  Lianyin suddenly felt awkward, "En... okay, hehe... brother... you go to sleep early too..." Why was she so awkward? Because soon they would be squeezed together in the small room, a lone man and woman... it didn't look good.

  Su Hao stood up and suddenly made fun of his brother-in-law, "Dahu, let's go, don't make my sister wait anxiously. A man can't be like this." After that, he smiled ambiguously.

  Big Tiger.

  "... ripple of water."

  Helpless, Da Hu followed Su Hao over, his whole body stiff, unfortunately Su Hao's simple mind wouldn't notice.

  "Go on in." Su Hao urged.

  "Ah." Da Hu stiffened and entered Su Lianwei's room.

  Su Hao also helped the two of them lock the door and then went next door to rest in the "guest room".

  Inside the room, two people stood there, feeling very awkward, and the atmosphere was also eerily stiff.

  "How... is it arranged?" Da Hu asked.

  "You sleep on the bed, I'll sleep on the floor." said Lianyi.

  The big tiger nodded, "What about being?"

  Lianyi went to the cabinet in the corner to get a quilt, but heard a crisp sound, turned her head and saw that it was Dahu who was inserting the door. Her heart skipped a beat, and the quilt in her hand fell with a rustling sound. "You... you... what do you want to do?" Although she was very scared, Lianyi still forced herself to calm down, staring fiercely at Dahu with her eyes, while her peripheral vision flew towards the various corners of the room, searching for something that could be used as a weapon.

  The entire atmosphere was made extremely eerie and intense by Su Lianwei.

  The big tiger's face turned red, "Of course it's a doorstop. If your brother accidentally entered the wrong room in the middle of the night and saw us sleeping separately... what would happen?"

  "......Oh." Liang Wei awkwardly picked up the quilt on the ground and threw it onto the bed, then took out two large leather bags. "You, go stand by the door, don't move." Still being very cautious.

  In the dead of night, a lone man and woman, who knows what will happen next, whether it's a raging fire? She is a medical student, well aware of the difference between testosterone and hormones. At certain special moments, women can control themselves, but men may not be able to.

  Looking at Da Hu's majestic physique and the angular muscles still visible under his thin clothes, Lian Yu secretly swallowed a mouthful of saliva. If Da Hu really couldn't control himself, she... would probably be in grave danger!

  From a biological perspective, the behavior of organisms is often influenced by sex hormones, and the two major inducements that cause sex hormones to act rapidly are visual stimulation and olfactory stimulation, such as peacocks and deer.

  So, in order to completely eliminate some unharmonious and unsuitable things for children, Liangliang decided to fundamentally eliminate all temptations.

  The big tiger retreated helplessly and backed away to the side of the gate.

  "Turn your body around." Lingling said again.

  "Big Tiger was puzzled, 'You want to change clothes?' Haven't you already changed?"

  "Don't ask so much, just turn around." Ling Wei said fiercely.

  The big tiger could only turn around and leave her a broad, thick and long back view.

  "Stuff your nose." Lingling said again.

  The big tiger was about to make a move, but thought better of it and pinched its nose shut with its paw, breathing through its mouth instead.

  Lianyi finally put her mind at ease, went to the empty space, and slapped the two large package skins on the clean brick floor. Then she neatly spread out the quilt, placed the pillow well, and laid down the cool blanket. "Alright, you can come over now, but you can only stay there, don't take half a step towards me."

  "Alright, got it." Da Huo was too lazy to argue with her about this issue. He knew what she was afraid of. Actually, according to his principles, he would never force anyone.

  The quilt on the floor is neatly laid out, and it looks very comfortable. Two identical rooms, with the same design drawings during renovation, and the same furniture arrangement, but they give people a different feeling.

  Lianyi was on guard against the big tiger while lying in bed and pulling up the quilt.

  Looking at her appearance, Da Hu is really crying and laughing, if he really wants to do something, can she stop him?

  This idea is better left unarisen; once it arises, it will spread like wildfire and be impossible to contain.

  The big tiger discovered its own abnormality, hurriedly blew out the candle and lay down, covering itself with a quilt.

  In the darkness, both of their breathing was heavy and anxious.

  Dà Hǔ's mind kept replaying the scene at Xiān Shuǐ Tán - the sound of water was crisp, he knew she was bathing, and Chū Yuè had said those ambiguous words, unable to help but let his imagination run wild.

  Su Lianwei was also very nervous, the strong masculine scent lingering on her nose, and she could faintly hear his breathing. Thinking of his solid muscles, combined with the dark environment where she couldn't see her hand in front of her face, if it were him... he... he...

  The two of them thought about each other like this, but neither of them said a word. A night passed in anxiety.

  On the second day, early in the morning, Su Hao came out of the room with a refreshed look, feeling sentimental that his own sister was so virtuous and had designed and decorated this house to be so comfortable. He had never slept in such a comfortable guest room before and didn't even want to recall the shabby room back home.

  Dahu and Sulian also came out of the room, both moving slowly, with big panda eyes under their eyes.

  "Li Wei, Da Hu, didn't you two sleep well last night?" Su Hao asked in surprise.

  "Nowhere, I had a good rest." Lingling replied with a bitter smile. One sleepless night was not scary, but spending the whole night on high alert against a robust man with a tiger's back and bear's waist was exhausting.

  Dahai simply didn't respond, walked to the table in the courtyard, brewed a cup of strong tea for himself, raised his head, downed it in one gulp, and poured another cup. He was also very tired last night. For some reason, at midnight, he suddenly had an urge to...

  That feeling was strong, very embarrassing, he himself hated and despised himself, it turned out that Su Lianwei's precautions were correct, it turned out that he was not a gentleman at all, one night, he scolded himself for the whole night.

  Lianyi entered the kitchen with great fatigue, for the first time having such a strong aversion to cooking. However, she still patiently made breakfast, and after the three of them finished eating, Old Horse came hurrying over in his donkey cart to pick up Lianyi and her brother.

  Dà Hǔ saw the two people leave, and hurriedly rushed back to his own room, preparing to get a good rest. However, for some reason, the faint scent on Su Liang's body lingered around his nose, refusing to dissipate.

  ……

  Su Lianwei fell fast asleep in the car, which left Su Hao perplexed. It seemed like he hadn't seen her sleep so soundly in a long time. The usual Su Lianwei he saw was calm and composed, even lacking the liveliness of a young girl.

  An hour later, the donkey cart arrived at Su's wine shop in the county town. Su Hao saw that Lianyi was sleeping soundly and didn't want to disturb her, but had no choice, so he pushed her gently and woke her up, "Lianyi, we're here."

  Su Lianying raised her eyes and took a look, the strong drowsiness was still overwhelming. "En, I know." She forced herself to be spirited, in the previous second she was still sleepy, but in the next second she had restored her usual state, although it was all pretended.

  "Good morning." Su Lianwei greeted the shopkeeper with a bright and cheerful expression.

  "Good morning, Miss Su." Xiao Er also hurriedly greeted her, staring at Su Lian without blinking, watching as she went up to the second floor. He thought to himself, The young lady of the Su family is truly a beauty, so elegant and refined, I wonder what kind of person her husband is.

  The second floor is a rest room, behind the screen of a small room, Su Bai is sleeping soundly.

  Lian Yi saw this, her eyebrows furrowed, and she reached out to grab Su Bai's waistband. With one swift motion, she pulled him off the bed and opened the window, letting in some fresh air.

  Su Bai was sleeping soundly, when she was pulled out of bed. Her temper wasn't very good, and as soon as she opened her eyes, she saw her second sister. She had a belly full of fire, but swallowed it back down again. "...Sis...good morning."

  "Isn't it early? The sun is already at its third pole, you know?" As he spoke, he yanked the bed sheet down and slapped it onto Su Bai's face.

  Su Bai saw that his second sister was angry, and he suddenly sat up, "Sister, I'm wrong. From now on, I won't sleep in late again." He wondered in his heart, why is his sister's temper so big today? She just pulled him out of bed, why did she also lift the sheets?

  All that could be seen was Su Lianwei going to a nearby cabinet, taking out a new sheet, bending down and spreading it flat on the bed.

  "Sister, what's this...?" Su Bai didn't understand and looked down at the bed sheet in her hand, "Sister, this bed sheet isn't even dirty, why do we need to change it?"

  "Because you've slept enough, it's fine, you're also awake now, go downstairs."

  "Oh." Su Bai got up and put on his outerwear, "Sister, I'm going downstairs, what are you doing here?"

  The new bed sheet was laid out, and Lianyi lay down without hesitation. "Sleep, recharge, don't disturb me, or you're dead."

  Su Bai wanted to cry, but couldn't, his sister was really too much, she pulled him up and scolded him for not being allowed to be lazy in bed, then she lay down and slept again. He wanted to find someone to reason with, but didn't know who to find.

  ……

  When Su Lianwei woke up again, it was already noon.

  After sleeping for a whole morning, Su Lianhui finally rested her exhaustion from the suspenseful night before. She stretched her waist, simply tidied herself up, and in an instant, the clean, neat, and capable Su Lianhui returned.

  She walked to the window and gazed out, across from the Sheng wine shop, just as she had suggested, two bars were drawn, with a waiter directing, entering from one entrance and exiting from another, in an orderly manner.

  Lianyi looked down at the door of his own wine shop again - the door was crowded with people, even if it was occasionally a few people who came in to ask about medicinal liquor and then turned around to line up to buy victory wine.

  Must we implement that plan as soon as possible? This is a war of mutual destruction between two sides, either you die or I perish!

  She went downstairs, "Brother, where is Su Bai?" Looking around for Su Bai's figure everywhere.

  Su Hao, with a worried and bitter face, looked up to see his sister and forced a smile, "Su Bai was recently called away by Father, saying that there were not enough people."

  Su Feng still didn't know about the county town wine shop incident, which was strongly suppressed by Lian Yi. Everyone was forbidden to tell Su Feng, fearing it would crush his newly ignited enthusiasm.

  Lianyi was a bit worried, she was about to go to Qingzhou County next to Yuewang County, and had hoped that Su Bai would follow her, but now it seemed hopeless. Helpless, she could only go alone, but thinking again, it wasn't so bad after all, as she would be more flexible in her actions.

  At this time, the little second who was hired suddenly spoke up, "Hey, Sheng Wine Shop has been selling more wine since they put up that railing, our business is getting worse and worse." Frowning.

  Lianyi smiled and said, "Their wine is limited in quantity, whether they sell it early or late, the earlier they sell out, the more opportunities we have to sell our own wine."

  That little servant whispered complaints, "This isn't a long-term solution either, we can't always eat leftovers from others."

  "How to sell is the master's business, you little second only need to do your part well, and we will not owe a single penny of wages." Lian Wei said, as the boss, must have absolute authority.

  "Oh." The shopkeeper said nothing more.

  Although Su Lianwei retorted to Xiao Er's words, she actually knew in her heart that what Xiao Er said was right. "Brother, I'll be going out for the next two days and won't be coming back, you take care of the shop," she said to Su Hao.

  Su Hao didn't understand, "Lian Yi, where are you going?"

  Ripples approached Su Hao, lowering his voice, "We can't just sit and wait for death. In the near future, our Su family winery will be turned upside down. Brother, you'll see, I've said it before, that guy will lose miserably." After finishing speaking, he didn't explain further and went upstairs to the second floor.

  Before long, when Su Lianwei came down from the second floor again, the elegant girl had disappeared.

  A slender, sky-blue satin men's attire set off her tall and slender figure, with a light beige thick gauze transparent long cardigan loosely draped over the blue robe - this was the most popular way for young masters to dress recently, the advantage being that it made them look more elegant and handsome, but Su Lianhui wore it like this in order to cover up her slightly bulging chest.

  Inside her loose robe, Lianyi wrapped a strip of gauze around her waist, not to make it slimmer but thicker, and then tied an outer belt over it, making herself almost indistinguishable from a man.

  His hair was not completely standing on end, but like those playboys, more than half of his hair was scattered over his shoulders. Although Lianyi could choose high-collared men's clothing to conceal the reality of having no Adam's apple, a woman's neck is thinner than a man's, and using her open hair to cover up the thickness of her neck.

  With a bundle in hand, I'm ready to hit the road.

  Xiao Er was taken aback and didn't understand why a strange man had come down from the second floor of his own shop, but after taking a closer look, he realized it was Miss Su.

  Originally, Lianyi not only disguised herself in clothes, but also smeared some black on her face and thickened her eyebrows.

  After bidding farewell to Su Hao, Liang Liang hired a horse-drawn carriage at the post station and headed straight for Qingzhou County.

  Yuewang County and Qingzhou County are adjacent to each other, both of which are among the top two counties in Luan State. Although they are counties, their economic level and land area are much larger than those of ordinary small cities, and their influence is also among the top two.

  The official road was smooth and flat, and it took about three hours to arrive at Qingzhou County.

  Ripples got off the carriage and strolled on the most prosperous street, a carriage brushed past from the side, that carriage was so luxurious that it was dazzling.

  Lianyi didn't even glance at that carriage and continued to carefully observe the surrounding shops.

  "Master, what are you looking at? Could it be a beautiful woman?" asked Ye Huan, the young servant, as he saw his master lift the curtain of the carriage and turn his head to look back, unable to help but feel curious about what had captivated his master so.

  "What a beautiful girl!" Seeing no one around, Ye Ci turned her body and used her fan to heavily hit Ye Huan's head.

  Ye Ci and Ye Huan were a master and servant pair. Ye Huan was the only son of the chief steward of the Ye family, who had served as an attendant to Third Young Master Ye Ci since childhood. The two grew up together, and although they were supposed to be master and servant, in reality they were more like friends, so they often joked around with each other without regard for seniority or hierarchy.

  Ye Ci ignored Ye Huan and tapped her fan against her palm.

  That young man just now was really familiar, how could I not remember where I saw him? Logically speaking, it shouldn't be possible... Cough cough, actually nobody knows, he's intentionally holding back his exceptional memory. So to say, there won't be anyone who is familiar yet unrecognizable.

  Suddenly, Ye Ci let out a loud cry — "It's her!?"
