My dears, the issue of the mistaken address in the previous chapter has been corrected. The review process takes time. Thank you for your reminders. The author was too careless and will pay more attention in the future. This also gives me a chance to wish you all a Happy New Year, may all your wishes come true, and a prosperous Year of the Rabbit!
Yun Siman was stunned for two seconds. He looked around and asked curiously, "Sister, what exactly do you want to show me?"
"Fourth Brother, smell this..." Little Xi Tian's eyes curved into a sweet smile.
Yun Siman sniffed and his eyes suddenly lit up. "Ha, it's the smell of wine! Sister, you smell sweet like wine!~"
That's right, Little Xi Tian had been busy making wine in her space these past few days, and it was inevitable that a hint of wine aroma would cling to her. Yun Siman, who loved drinking, recognized it immediately...
"Fourth Brother, your nose is so good!~" Little Xi Tian turned around, casually took a bottle of wine from her space, and stuffed it into Yun Siman's hand. "Fourth Brother, try it, is it good?"
When they were in Dashui Village, Yun Siman had already tasted the wine his sister brewed. It was mellow, refreshing, and sweet, so he had even suggested that his sister bring the wine to the capital to sell...
Little Xi Tian also saw this business opportunity and planned to try selling a few bottles of wine before leaving to see how it would go.
Yun Siman pulled out the cork and gulped down two large mouthfuls. The cool liquid slid down his throat, making him feel refreshed and his face flush with joy...
"Haha, it's delicious, even more delicious than before!~" Yun Siman wiped his mouth and looked at Little Xi Tian. "Sister, if you sell this wine, it will definitely be a nationwide hit. We don't have grape wine in Daliang yet!"
No wonder they say his sister is a lucky charm. Whatever she does, she's always the first, and others can't imitate her...
"Fourth Brother, this wine isn't ready yet. It needs another ten days to half a month before it can be sold. How about this, I'll leave a few cases for Fourth Brother. Once the wine is fermented, Fourth Brother can try selling a few bottles. You can set the price!~"
Her parents were returning to the village, and she couldn't stay in the capital either, so she had to entrust the wine to Fourth Brother for consignment...
Yun Siman patted the wine bottle and chuckled, "Didn't we agree before? This wine is one tael of silver per bottle, no bargaining. Once it sells well, we can slowly increase the price!~"
There were plenty of wealthy people in the capital. One tael of silver for a bottle of wine was not expensive at all...
Little Xi Tian smiled sweetly, "Then I'll have to trouble Fourth Brother!"
"Why are you being so polite with your brother?" Yun Siman pinched his sister's cheek and suddenly remembered what Emperor Cheng had asked him to convey. He asked Little Xi Tian, "By the way, Sister, the Emperor asked me to pass on a message. He wants to know if there's anything you desire, as he wants to reward you for your merits..."
Little Xi Tian was slightly taken aback, "This also needs a reward?"
Even if Emperor Cheng wasn't the Emperor, she would have helped him when he was in danger...
"Oh, these are the rules of the royal family. Hurry and think of something you like and tell your Fourth Brother. I'll definitely pass on the message!~"
Little Xi Tian: "..."
She lacked nothing.
If she had to ask for something, she would want a walking stick for Uncle Sun. There were no such things in her space, and Uncle Sun's walking stick was old and almost broken. She hoped her Imperial Uncle would send him a good one...
Besides that, she also wanted to ask Sister Huaihua for a set of makeup. Things like rouge and powder, lip gloss and nail polish, gold and silver jewelry, and so on.
Sister Huaihua was now with Young Master Xiao, and she couldn't be too shabby in her attire...
Thinking of this, Little Xi Tian expressed her thoughts.
When Yun Siman heard this, he almost burst out laughing. He said helplessly, "My dear sister, what kind of reward is this? These things are worthless in the Emperor's eyes. Think carefully again, it's best to ask for something valuable!~"
Little Xi Tian: "..."
Fourth Brother, why have you become a money grubber too?
"I really don't have anything else!~" Little Xi Tian tilted her small head, her eyebrows curved.
One shouldn't be too greedy; one should be content and happy!
Seeing her Fourth Brother looking speechless, Little Xi Tian tiptoed and reached out her small hand, intending to poke his forehead...
But because Yun Siman was too tall, and Little Xi Tian was just a little tot, she jumped twice but couldn't reach him.
Seeing this, Yun Siman squatted down and took his sister's small hand. "Since you don't want anything, we'll just note it down for now. I'll go and tell the Emperor later that my sister has a magnanimous heart and is willing to serve the court even without any reward, okay?"
Little Xi Tian nodded vigorously. Fourth Brother understood her the best...
Then, the siblings chatted for a while longer, and Little Xi Tian took out the cases of wine and had Fourth Brother load them onto the carriage.
The wine was brewed in large vats, and Little Xi Tian couldn't just sell it loose, so she bottled them one by one, making them look grand and classy...
Meanwhile, in the Northern Frontier city of Suicheng, inside a magnificent hall.
Khan Han Che'er paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, his eyes occasionally glancing out the window, as if preoccupied.
His great general, Ren Dula, stood beside him, cold sweat beading on his forehead...
His Highness the Khan had been restless and worried lately, and he had lost a lot of weight.
Even the medicine prescribed by Divine Doctor Guan had little effect.
For no other reason than that both of his daughters were missing. The younger daughter was being held by Marquis Pingyang, but why was his elder daughter, who had gone to the capital, also missing without a trace?
Ren Dula coughed lightly and stepped forward to persuade him, "Khan, Khan, please don't worry. Your subordinate has already sent people to the capital to gather information. I believe we will find Princess Yan'er's whereabouts soon..."
Han Che'er couldn't listen to such words. He waved his hand and walked directly towards the inner hall.
Seeing this, Ren Dula quickly stepped forward to stop him, "Khan, Khan, what are you doing?"
"I'm going to the capital to find my daughter. Move aside, don't get in the way!~" Han Che'er frowned and pushed Ren Dula aside.
Ren Dula: "..."
"Khan, what good will it do if you go? The capital of Daliang is a dragon's pool and a tiger's den, full of danger. If you fall into a trap set by the Central Plains people, our entire tribe will be finished. Please reconsider, Khan!~"
Han Che'er's anger flared up even more upon hearing this. He directly punched Ren Dula and reprimanded, "What? I am the Heavenly Khan of the Northern Frontier tribes. How can I be captured by those Han people?"
That would make him too useless...
Ren Dula didn't know what to say. Just as he was about to desperately stop Han Che'er, a tall, strong, and sturdy woman walked in from outside the hall.
