royal robes

Chapter 763

The atmosphere was very embarrassing, Dugu Xingyue originally thought that after his father lost all the property of the Dugu Clan, he would be depressed and even cry.Unexpectedly, I would drink tea and bask in the sun leisurely here.Dugu Xingye and Dugu Xingchen didn't do any serious business either. Instead of finding a way to revive the Dugu Valve, they played chess leisurely here.

Of course the most excessive one is Dugufeng, where does the happiness on her face come from?It doesn't matter that Gao Ting is such a handsome guy, but that ugly fat man is so fascinated by Dugu Feng, they are still in the mood to love concubines here after their family is ruined.

The only comforting thing is that Dugufeng's belly is already bulging, and it looks like she is several months pregnant.Ever since Dugu Xingyue's mother died of illness, the Dugu clan has not had a child for a long time.After the child is born, the surname will be Dugu, because Dugufeng is not married, but married into Gaoting, so this child is considered to be a member of the Dugu clan.

Gao Ting didn't care about this kind of thing, as long as he knew that it was his own child, it was enough.After all, Gao Ting's identity and martial arts are definitely high to marry Dugufeng, so Gao Ting has only done one thing in recent years, which is to make Dugufeng happy, other than that, he has no role.

This time is good. Through his unremitting efforts, Gao Ting finally allowed the Dugu family to flourish. Although he didn't know whether he would give birth to a boy or a girl, it was a good thing for the entire Dugu clan.

"Xingyue?"

"elder sister?"

"younger sister?"

"Girl?"

Everyone looked at Dugu Xingyue in surprise, and after the others followed, they also slowly recovered from the shock.The members of the Dugu Clan recovered, Zong Xin and his party were dumbfounded, the hearts of this group of people were really open, what happened to them, they lived so leisurely, they didn't know that Li Jing might lead troops into the place at any time ?

Dugu Xingyue first walked to Dugufeng's side and squatted down slowly, then gently reached out to stroke Dugufeng's stomach, seeing the happiness on Dugufeng's face, Dugu Xingyue was also a little jealous.

"Second Aunt, I heard about your pregnancy before. I didn't expect Zongxin's medicine to be so effective... It's a pity that it's difficult to heal yourself. The stomachs of our sisters didn't respond at all. I was really jealous when I saw it. Be a mother."

Zong Xin and his group also came to Dugu Feng, and Zong Xin was the first to greet Dugu Feng: "Aunt Feng."

"Hello, Aunt Feng~"

Dugu Feng squinted at Tianya, then said dissatisfied: "Boy, your master calls me Aunt Feng, you should call me Auntie."

"Aunt Feng, although this is my master, she is also my brother-in-law, so he can be regarded as my peer."

"Your mind is not bad, and Tian Ya has grown up a lot." Dugu Feng stretched out his hand to pinch Tian Ya's face and said with a smile, "I also need to work harder, and have a well-behaved son like you."

"Son and daughter are the same." Gao Ting was still combing Dugu Feng's hair. For the two of them, as long as they have children, they don't care about gender.Although this era is still patriarchal, even daughters are the apple of their eye.

"I just like my son." Dugu Feng replied, but his face was full of happy smiles.

Tian Ya said dejectedly: "Now is not the time to talk about such things... The Dugu Clan has lost all their property, do you still have the mood to have a son or a daughter? Even if you give birth, what will you use to support yourself?"

Dugu Xingyue looked at Dugu Huang with a face full of complaints, and then said angrily: "Father, how could you buy your son-in-law to lose the war? And you also spent half of the property of the Dugu Clan, and even bet on yourself. If you If you don't trust your son-in-law so much, why did you let me marry him?"

Duguhuang explained: "Let me explain. First of all, I never doubted Zong Xin. There are other reasons why I bought him to lose. Secondly, I didn't ask you to marry him. To the Dugu clan, I will support you for the rest of my life. In the end, if I don’t bet on this hand, Li Jing will not take my bet. If Li Jing didn’t get the money from the Dugu clan, when he was poor and crazy, If Guo Wei is seriously ill again, he will definitely send troops to attack Dazhou at that time. Zong Xinyuan will not be able to come back in the Western Regions. It has been going on for a long time, so I think it is worth it to exchange the property of the Dugu Clan for the peace of the world for more than half a year."

"Aftermath."

Dugu Xingyue was not satisfied with this explanation, but Dugu Huang was right.If Li Jing was really poor and crazy, he might attack Da Zhou.At that time, Guo Wei was seriously ill, and no one could stop Li Jing.Although Chai Rong's military literacy is good, he is criticized both inside and out. He may not have enough troops to contend with Li Jing, so he can only try to stop losses.

After Li Jing got the benefits, of course he would continue to attack, and Chai Rong could only retreat step by step until Zong Xin returned to the Central Plains to cure Guo Wei's illness.

But Dugu Huang's gamble allowed Li Jing to get all the properties of Dugu Clan when he was the poorest. Instead of becoming poor, he made a fortune.Li Jing, who has money in the national treasury, of course has to watch the timing, even if he knows that Guo Wei is seriously ill, he will not make a move easily.

So there is nothing wrong with what Duguhuang did, but... it was really an afterthought.It was impossible for Duguhuang to have predicted that Guo Wei would be seriously ill a year ago, and it was even more impossible to have predicted that Li Jing would suffer heavy losses because of the First Battle of Xuzhou.So Duguhuang was just making excuses for herself.

Zong Xin waved his hand and said: "No, this is not an afterthought. At first I thought this matter was very suspicious. How could my father-in-law bet on half of the property of the Dugu Clan? No matter who wins and who loses, it is unreasonable to talk about this matter alone. If I If you guessed correctly, the belated Taoist must have told you to do this."

"Impossible, what good will this do for our Dugu clan?" Dugu Xingyue said depressedly: "Father, you are not the kind of person who can abandon the family business for the sake of peace in the world, right? Give all the family property to Li Jing, and you agree immediately."

"Having a daughter is really troublesome, and such an obvious thing needs to be explained?" Duguhuang said: "Of course, this matter is good for us Dugu Clan, and it is of great benefit, otherwise I would be willing to give up all the foundations of several generations. Give it to Li Jing’s grandson? Taoist Late told me that if I wanted to double or even dozens of times the money of the Dugu Clan, I would use all my family property to bet on the demise of Dazhou, although I don’t understand what Taoist Late means. , but I still did it. I just waited for a good son-in-law to come and tell me how to make the Dugu clan earn more money."

Zong Xin took a deep breath and said, "It's really annoying to be a late Taoist. He often leaks secrets. But this time the leak is good. If there is no father-in-law to help, I am afraid that when the son-in-law returns to the Central Plains from the Western Regions, the land of the Great Zhou will only Half of it is left. Since the father-in-law has done such a big favor for the son-in-law, the son-in-law will certainly not let the father-in-law be busy. Next, he will hand over the entire Dugu Clan to Li Jing, and the people of the Dugu Clan will return to Dazhou with me. Find a place in the territory to continue growing food."

"Do you think I'm stupid?" Duguhuang said: "The grain in the Dazhou realm is harvested once a year, here it is harvested twice a year, and in some places further south, it is even harvested three times a year. Moreover, the land in the Tang Dynasty is rich, Fish and water are abundant, even if I want to make a comeback, I should find some fertile land, why go to Dazhou?"

"Can you let me finish? Continue to grow grain, and then use the grain to make wine." Zong said: "Tianya, bring out the shochu for everyone to taste. Aunt Feng, pregnant women are not allowed to drink, so this time you will have no luck." .”

"It's okay, I'll just take a sniff."

Tian Ya immediately took out a few wine bottles from his luggage, and that was the end of his work.Everyone had a small wine bottle, and everyone opened the lid and took a sniff.The strong smell of wine made people jump. Although everyone present was a good drinker, they were still not used to it for the first time.

However, he immediately smelled the mellow aroma of this wine, and the smell became lighter and lighter, and Duguhuang was the first to drink it.When pouring it into his mouth, Duguhuang could clearly feel the refreshing feeling of moistening his throat, there was no trace of impurities in the wine, and upon closer inspection, the color of the wine was as clear as water.How can a wine with such a strong aroma and taste be as clear as water?
Dugu Xingye and Dugu Xingchen, two literati and poets who drink flowers and wine all day long, have a special feeling for wine. First, they go to the brothel for poetry, second, for drinking, and third, for women.Although the two of them hadn't written a few poems, they definitely drank a lot of wine. This was the first time they drank this kind of wine, and they became addicted the first time.

After drinking shochu, these people understand a truth, what they drank before was cat urine, not alcohol at all.This is the purest form of wine. How much does a pot of this wine cost?It's worth ten taels of silver.

"Okay, good wine." Dugu Xingye said excitedly: "Brother-in-law, what is the name of this wine?"

"Shaojiu is actually rice wine, but after removing the water and impurities in the rice wine, the most essential part has no color at all. And after the water is reduced, the aroma of the wine will naturally become stronger. The rice wine I drank before is only suitable for cooking. " Zong Xin said very confidently, but everyone present agrees.Including Tian Ya, who doesn't know much about drinking.

Dugufeng was surprised and said: "Is it so delicious? Give me a taste too."

"Pregnant women should not drink alcohol."

"Just one sip is fine." Dugu Feng didn't listen to the persuasion, took a sip from the wine bottle in Gao Ting's hand, sure enough, as others said, the taste of this wine is really indescribable, but one thing is certain.As long as this kind of wine comes out, all the wine that everyone in the Central Plains including Khitan, Tubo, and Dali used to drink can be eliminated. Anyone who has money and wants to drink will definitely buy this kind of wine.

"It's really good wine. As long as we can brew this kind of wine... within three years, the financial resources and power of the Dugu Clan will definitely be far better than before." Dugufeng said excitedly: "The belated Taoist really didn't lie, but the problem is ...Why don't we find a place to make wine in Datang, but have to go to Dazhou?"

Dugufeng's question was very sharp, and she directly asked the most critical point.
