The Transmigrated Farm Girl Has a Cheat Code

Chapter 74 Zhao Yuncheng

A young man with a cold expression came to Lin Yan's stall. Lin Yan glanced at him and saw him stand in front of the stall.

"Hey sir, do you want to buy some alcohol?"

"Two jars!" Cheng Lin said succinctly, without uttering a single superfluous word.

Lin Yan handed him two jars of wine, saying, "Cheng Hui, two taels of silver."

Cheng Lin, still expressionless, took out two taels of silver and handed it to Lin Yan, took the wine jar from her hand, and turned to leave.

Lin Yan raised an eyebrow, thinking to herself: This guy is pretty expressionless.

…………

"Your Highness, here is your wine!"

Cheng Lin placed the two jars of wine on the man's table and then retreated to a corner, inconspicuously.

The man opened a jar of wine and poured it into a glass. He looked at the amber liquid in the glass, and a rare hint of curiosity appeared in his deep eyes.

I took a bite, and the first taste was a sweet and sour plum flavor, followed by a refreshing wine aroma. The taste was indeed quite good.

However, the man frowned, his expression becoming more serious. This wine had been infused with plums and sugar, but it still had a burning sensation when drunk, indicating that the base liquor was very strong. At least, none of the other wines he had drunk had reached this concentration.

This winery...?

The man looked at the mark on the wine jar and saw the character "林" (Lin), which was composed yet sharp. He raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised.

“Isn’t this…?”

The man looked out the window at the little girl hawking her wares and the little boy tying ropes, his eyes deep and thoughtful.

This man was none other than the seventh prince, Zhao Yuncheng, who had been ordered to come to Yun'an Prefecture to oversee the tribute mission of Daye.

Logically speaking, Daye was his maternal clan, and they should have been close. However, the Emperor of Daye was bedridden, and Prince Cheng, Xiao Pingkai, was powerful and his mercenaries were self-reliant. Xiao Jingzhi could only barely resist with the power of the imperial city.

Xiao Pingkai harbored ambitions to overthrow the Liang Dynasty, and the situation between the two countries was extremely tense. Consort Xiao, residing in the palace, rarely appeared in public. Meanwhile, the seventh prince, Zhao Yuncheng, was in an even more precarious position, as he was both of Da Ye blood and the son of the Liang Emperor.

Emperor Liang sent him to urge Daye to pay its annual tribute. If Zhao Yuncheng makes a mistake, he will offend both sides. Emperor Liang has not considered his son at all.

He had been in Yun'an Prefecture for two days. He first sent a letter to Daye to urge them to pay. After all, he couldn't just do nothing, or he wouldn't be able to explain it to that old man when he returned.

As for helping Xiao Jingzhi find the legendary physician Li Zhongwei, he has already sent another subordinate, Mu Yu, to search for him. Regardless of whether he can find him or not, he will have to go to Rong'an County to meet with Xiao Jingzhi.

He was currently waiting for news, eating and drinking, and quite idle, much freer than in the palace. Today, he saw someone selling wine downstairs, and quite a few people were buying it. Curious, he asked Cheng Lin to buy two jars.

I never expected to give him a surprise. The base liquor for this plum wine has a higher concentration than any other wine he has ever drunk.

Zhao Yuncheng chuckled, recalling the rocking chair he had left behind. "Isn't this place a furniture store?! They've started selling alcohol now! Quite a diversified business!"

He stroked the character "林" (Lin) carved on the wine jar. "I don't know who wrote this character '林,' but its sharpness is restrained, yet it hides a murderous intent." It suited his taste quite well.

…………

People kept coming to Lin Yan's stall to inquire, and the two of them had already sold a lot of wine.

Fortunately, she had plenty of wine in her storage space, so she could restock in time. Otherwise, if she had brought a cart, all the wine she could have brought would have been sold out long ago.

"Sister, we've sold so many!" Lin Yu's hands were so tired from tying the ropes, but seeing how well the business was doing, he was still full of energy.

"Yes, we've already sold over sixty jars!" Lin Yan casually tossed the silver she had collected into her basket, which was already layered with silver.

"Hey! You're selling alcohol!" an arrogant voice rang out.

Lin Yan raised an eyebrow, a hint of coldness flashing in her eyes, but she turned her head and smiled sweetly.

"Sir, would you like to buy some wine?"

The man was somewhat surprised to see that the girl was a young girl, but he looked down on her even more.

"New here? Setting up a stall on the street?!"

Lin Yan frowned, remaining silent, unsure of the man's purpose. She feigned ignorance and asked, "Sir, are you here to buy wine?"

The man snorted coldly, assuming the little girl was ignorant, and pointed to the "Jin" character badge on his waist.

He said, "Selling wine? I'm a subordinate of Commander Jin. I never need to buy anything on this street! People always give it to me!"

Lin Yan raised an eyebrow, understanding. Lin Yu, however, was already furious, his anger rising, and he wanted to argue with the person.

Lin Yan pulled him up, and Lin Yu understood what his sister meant. He swallowed his anger and shut his mouth, not saying a word.

Lin Yan smiled and said, "Oh! So you're a gentleman from the Commander's Mansion! You want some wine, sir? Then I'll definitely send you a jar to try. If you like it, come again!"

Seeing that she was sensible, the man snorted and said nothing more. He looked around the stall, picked up two jars of wine, and left.

Lin Yu glared at him angrily, "Sister, you just let him take it for free?!"

Lin Yan was indeed not emotional. "There are only two of us. Since we're new here, it's best to stay away from them to avoid trouble. Otherwise, it won't be good to do business here."

A nearby jewelry vendor, seeing that they hadn't gotten into a fight with the man, said, "Luckily you didn't confront him, otherwise you wouldn't be able to do business tomorrow!"

“These guys do this every time they come to the street, just take whatever they want. But we’re a small business, so as long as they don’t go too far, taking one or two things is fine.”

Lin Yu had just begun his studies and was taught to be respectful and courteous. Naturally, he was disgusted by such behavior. "That's going too far!"

Lin Yan stared at the man who left. When the man went to other stalls, he would pick up whatever he liked and leave. The stall owners were all angry but dared not say anything.

Lin Yu saw it too and said angrily, "This guy is really going too far! Does being an official make him so great? The people in the commander's mansion are so arrogant, and nobody does anything about it?"

The vendor exclaimed in surprise, "Hey, who can afford to mess with that?!"

Lin Yan chuckled as she watched the man walk away, her eyes full of mockery.

She explained to Lin Yu, "We are located near Daye, and we have a large army stationed on the border. The commander is the general commander of the Yun'an Prefecture garrison, so he naturally has power and influence."

Lin Yu had never heard of such a high-ranking official before, and couldn't help but mutter, "Commander-in-Chief of the Garrison?"

Lin Yan recalled that she had heard of this Commander Yun'an before. It was the team that was chasing Chen Feng that mentioned when she first met Chen Feng. Their leader was Commander Yun'an.

However, considering what the squad leader said, it's clear that Commander Yun'an is no good either, so it's not surprising that his subordinates behave this way.

I'm here in the prefectural city to do business, so I'd better avoid causing trouble if possible. Otherwise, I'll be targeted everywhere, and my business will definitely suffer.
