If i will definitely give it, but two jars are definitely not enough. One jar is barely enough.
Gulan looked at Xiang Yunjin with amusement, "Brother Jin, it's not a good habit to ask for too much. We have to change it."
"How can I get two jars of wine for Brother Jin? I only have one jar here, which I just drank. If you like it, take it."
"Really?" Although Gulan's expression looked sincere, Xiang Yunjin somehow didn't quite believe it.
"Of course, why would I lie to you about this? It's just a jar of wine, how could I be reluctant to part with it? It's just that I really don't have it." Gulan said calmly without changing her expression, as if the person who was reluctant to part with it just now was someone else, without a trace of guilt.
His sparkling peach blossom eyes looked at Gulan with a half-smile, pretending to be quite serious. Based on his understanding of Gulan, if there really wasn't any, this guy wouldn't have given him a jar. He would have definitely covered it up tightly, just like the thing called alcohol before.
Xiang Yunjin couldn't help laughing as he looked at Gulan. What a contradiction. He was so generous when spending money just now, but now he was so stingy that he was not willing to spend even a jar of wine. But since he has said so, there will definitely be no more. If I don't agree, I will probably lose even this jar. So he nodded, and then he saw Gulan secretly taking a breath.
At this moment, Xiang Yunjin's evil interest suddenly emerged and he said, "One jar is one jar, but..."
Xiang Yunjin paused here, which made Gulan, who was listening, also think that he seemed to be up to something again, and immediately looked at him warily.
"But you have to tell me where you bought this wine. This wine has a sweet and strong aftertaste. It's really good. I'll send someone to look for it later."
Gulan: "…" I knew it was like this, but unfortunately no one else in this world can find it except her.
Gulan was really in trouble now. She looked at Xiang Yunjing and said, "Brother Jin, this really stumps me. I bought this wine at the market a few days ago. An old man was selling it by carrying a basket. I smelled the strong smell of wine so I bought a jar. I never thought of asking for the old man's address. If Brother Jin really likes it, we can only send someone to the market to try our luck. Maybe we can really meet the old man selling wine."
Gulan spoke seriously and looked innocent to Xiang Yunjin. The embarrassed look on his face did not seem fake, and Xiang Yunjin believed it a little this time. Moreover, the wine was indeed the best of all the wines he had ever tasted. Even the best winery in Yunzhou City did not have it. It was possible that the old man was selling it, otherwise he could not have created these out of thin air.
If this is the case, it will be very difficult to find it. There are too many people walking around the streets selling goods every day, unless he is willing to waste manpower to look for them. Xiang Yunjin would never go to such great lengths just to satisfy his desires. Originally, he just wanted to know where Gulan got the wine out of mischief, but now Xiang Yunjin completely gave up the idea and did not continue to ask about the wine.
After talking with Gulan, Xiang Yunjin didn't stay long. There were a lot of things waiting for him in Yunzhou. He left with a jar of wine under AnAn's reluctant gaze.
After seeing Xiang Yunjin off and closing the door, she let her sleepy son sleep alone. Looking at the messy bedroom, Gulan tidied it up with responsibility.
...
The next day, after breakfast, Gulan, who was cleaning the stables in the backyard, saw Daya jogging over.
"Uncle, is there someone outside the door?" Daya said.
"Who is it?" Gulan continued to sweep, not taking it too seriously, thinking it must be a villager so early in the morning.
"Master, he said his name is Gao Xing, and he said he was ordered by the prince to bring people for you to choose. Will you let them in?" Without the master's order, Daya wouldn't dare to let anyone in.
"Let them in." Gulan was stunned and quickly stopped what she was doing. She never thought it would be them. They came so fast that she thought she would have to wait for two days at least.
"Ok" Daya ran away quickly.
Gulan went back to the inner room to change her work clothes. When she appeared in the yard again, she saw Gao Xing and his group standing in the yard.
Hundreds of people, including men, women and teenage boys and girls, were waiting. These people were wearing old, thin clothes, shivering in the cold wind, with expressions of anxiety and resignation about the future on their faces.
When he saw Master Gu, Gao Xing almost ran to greet him and bowed hurriedly, "Hello, Master Gu"
"You're welcome," Gulan returned the greeting.
"Master Gu, these are the people I specially selected yesterday afternoon on the orders of the Crown Prince. I brought them here this morning for you to choose from."
"Thank you for to the Prince for me, and please trouble Brother Gao Xing as well."
"No, no, Mr. Gu, please don't be polite to Gao Xing. The people in this batch are of good quality. They are all slaves from the high-ranking officials and families who were confiscated. They have all been specially trained and can be used as soon as they are bought. Among them, there are also slaves who can fight. If you are interested, you can take a good look."
"A servant who knows martial arts?" Gulan became interested and immediately looked at the group of people brought by Gao Xing.
"Yes Mr. Gu, if you are interested, let them stand out right away." As he spoke, Gao Xing glanced at the broker standing in front of the crowd.
The broker also had a keen eye and quickly picked out a dozen men who looked different from the others.
Gao Xing: "Sir, they are all specially trained. When the master commits a crime, they are also rushed to the palace. They are very rare. I asked someone to test it personally. The skills are pretty good. Sir, you can pick a few more. There will be no problem for them to guard the house."
It was a coincidence that when he went there yesterday afternoon, these people had just been escorted to the official office, so he was able to keep them. As long as they were not betrayers, servants of noble families who had been implicated by their masters were very popular.
Gulan nodded happily. If what Gao Xing said was true, these people were indeed hard to come by, and she should choose a few of them carefully. Gulan stood in front of them and observed them carefully. In terms of spirit and energy, they were indeed better than the people behind them.
"Lift your head."
"Listen to the master, and look up quickly." The broker also urged.
Dozen men raised their heads in agreement; with their status they really had no choice.
To be honest, Gulan is not used to this way of selecting people like selecting animals, but she has no choice but to do so.
Gulan walked past these people one by one and found that the area below their left ears near their faces was all tattooed. The color was very dark, and it should be a word. It was the size of a baby's palm and was quite conspicuous. She never expected that one day she would see with her own eyes the historical knowledge she had learned.If she remembered correctly, this punishment was called tattooing.
Seeing these tattoos, Gulan finally figured out why these people were so obedient and stayed here even though they knew martial arts. With this face, even if he escapes, he will probably be unable to move forward. The criminal law in feudal society was indeed very severe.
Gulan slid across the tattoos on these people's faces. Although she didn't know how to select people, she knew how to observe them. Those with dull and distracted eyes were eliminated, so there were only about ten people left. Then Gulan attacked these people's lower bodies with her kicks unexpectedly. Those who were able to avoid her attacks in time or withstand her attacks and stand firmly were left behind by Gulan. In this way, a few more were eliminated, and only seven people were left.
