He knew this was not their problem, and he also knew Shengrui was for his good, but he just felt uncomfortable. It felt like the whole world knew, only he was kept in the dark. If it hadn't been that Zeng Shaoqing suddenly came and brought it up, maybe he would never know that his man had nearly died.
“Master Xuan…Yes, master!”
Yan Yi raised his head reflectively. But when seeing the frost on his face, he got up silently and left. Before leaving, he still did not forget to throw Zeng Shaoqing an eye for help. The crown princess was going to give birth. He shouldn't get angry or what at such a time.
“Come on! Don't you think you've gone too far? Shengrui was for your good. You are still pregnant. What if you are over worried and something happened? Besides, give your personality, if you knew he was so seriously injured, maybe you even went to the boarders for him already.”
Carefully looking at him, Zeng Shaoqing tried to comfort him. He had really never expected that Shengrui even hid it from him, otherwise, he wouldn't have poked such a hornets' nest!
Ling Jingxuan threw him a light glance and ignored him. He closed his eyes and took a few deep breaths, when he opened his eyes again, all his emotions had already been hidden in the deepest place of his heart. Even if he had known, so what? Yan Shengrui was not around, and he had no one to vent his anger. This thing made him realize one thing. Whatsoever, he got to train his own Men of Sacrifice.
Seeing here, Zeng Shaoqing could not help secretly surprised. No wonder Shengrui was so loyal to him. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he could never believe that someone could conceal his emotions so quickly and completely. In a blink of an eye, Ling Jingxuan already resumed his former smiling look, like nothing had happened just now. His emotion management had reached that kind of sick level.
“Pity that you come too early. If you come two months later, maybe you can have a taste of the sorghum wine I brew. But, the twenty thousand jars of grape wine I brewed this time, they could be unsealed in over ten days. If you are interested, I can let someone send some to the capital for you. Still the price last year.”
Leaning over to pour a cup of him for himself, Ling Jingxuan said so with a faint smile. The former bad mood all subsided already, no any trace left already.
“Huh? Twenty thousand jars?”
Zeng Shaoqing was stoned there, then could not help exclaim, those fox-like eyes suddenly wide opened, was he sure he said twenty thousand but not two thousand or two hundred?
What kind of new thing is that? He had heard that he planted thousands of mu of sorghums. So he had long planned to brew them into wine? How much would that be? He wanted to be the biggest wine businessman of the whole Qing Kingdom? Holy sh*t! He thought it so horrible even by thinking of it!
Throwing him a scornful look, Ling Jingxuan slouched his lips, “Sorghum wine, as its name implies, is made from sorghums. I started brewing it at the end of last month when the sorghums were harvested. But this kind of wine has to be sealed for two to three months before taking them out. You'd only have the chance to taste it at the end of August.”

The corners of the mouth could not help but twitch, Zeng Shaoqing tried to make himself look calm as far as possible. Ling Jingxuan thought about it and then replied, “Five hundred jin per mu. I guess two jin could brew one jin of win. So, you can count it yourself.”
The sorghum production this time was not bad, because he secretly sued the crescent spring water, so the quality of them was very good, so it wasn't a problem of making one jin 55° wine out of two jin sorghum. After all, this world was so uncultured, it was already good enough for such production and quality.
“Er… you want to become the biggest wine businessman of the whole kingdom?”
This time, Zeng Shaoqing was not just surprised, but totally shocked, 500 jin sorghum for one mu, which could be made into 250 jin sorghum wine, ten mu meant five thousand jin…fifty thousand mu…well, the number is really horrible, all right? No wonder when he arrived, he saw the factories outside that covered dozens of mu were filled full with stuff. So it was all sorghum?
“More or less. That's only the business of my mother's family. My own business has not started yet. You come at the right time. See if you can help me get a big piece of land in the capital. If it's in the downtown area, at least one mu. If in a remote point, at least three mu. By the way, can you help me take a message for Yunhan? Tell him that Linghan School who open together is almost done. Let him to have some pillow talk about it before His Majesty, try to make His Majesty cooperate with us. We are responsible for the money thing and its regulation, while the court is responsible for recommending us the suitable tutors. If so, my pressure will decrease a lot, and Yunhan could also accumulate some good name for himself, meanwhile, His Majesty will also feel unworried.”
All the businesses in Ling Village, except Baiyunge, he didn't plan to take any away with him, all would be left to Jingpeng, Jinghan and Zhao&Han couple. He also had his own things to do. He would explain to Yan Shengrui after he came back. First, he needed a solid back, second, he was afraid that he'd have no time to manage all those things. Fortunately the Zhao&Han couple was quite capable, let along Jingpeng. With them, he was not worried at all.
“Why buy land? The capital is different from the countryside, you know, there won't be any empty place in the downtown area. There are even few personal houses which could be used to do business there. If you want, I have two shops in the east of the capital. If it's not enough, I can talk to my mom after I go back. She has half a street doing dowry business, but the price is quite high, I'm afraid. You know, in the capital, a chi of land values a gold ingot. Let alone a few thousand taels of silver, even with tens of thousands of silver, you may not do some big business there.”
For an ordinary woman, that dowry shop was what she lived on for her whole life, also the source of her egg money. It seemed that Zeng Shaoqing really took him as a friend, otherwise, he would take the initiative to offer such a suggestion. Even if that was his mother, it wouldn't be that easy to buy that dowry shop from her. Especially, she was not lack of money at all.
