Chapter 470: Chapter 469: Water that is too clear has no fish, if one scrutinizes too much, there are no disciples!_1

At this afternoon hour, the winery only had a few scattered patrons. Following the shopkeeper, they entered the most spacious private room on the second floor.

"Master, Madam, would you like me to let Master Lui know of your arrival?"

"No need! We are just dropping by casually and will be leaving shortly."

Su Pan’er stated her decision directly, "Just send up two small dishes, and you may leave."

"Yes, Madam. If there’s anything you need, don’t hesitate to call me."

Having said so, the shopkeeper respectfully excused himself.

Once the shopkeeper left, Qin Yi dismissed the maids and turned to ask her with a smile.

"What do you think of this winery?"

Su Pan’er looked around.

"I’m just taking a look. Isn’t a winery a place where you men like to hang out? I should be the one asking you, right?"

The winery was brightly decorated, predominantly in a fiery red theme. Rows of wine jars were displayed on wooden shelves, each jar tied with a red cloth strip, making the winery festive and eye-catching.

"Seems like we have an alcoholic at home, don’t we? Hahaha!"

Qin Yi suddenly laughed, "Fortunately, this alcoholic is pregnant and can’t drink now. Otherwise, the wine here would be in danger again!"

Su Pan’er’s fox eye-shaped eyes bulged!

"Hmph! If you don’t speak, no one will think you’re mute!"

Qin Yi laughed, a string of hearty laughter flowing from his mouth.

Soon, the food was served, along with a jug of good wine that was yet to be opened.

"Since Pan’er can’t drink today, I won’t either. I’ll just eat some dishes."

How many people have heard of coming to a winery and not drinking, only eating?

"I didn’t force you not to drink!"

Su Pan’er said defiantly, but the corners of her mouth couldn’t help but lift.

"It’s just that I don’t feel like drinking today."

Qin Yi suddenly leaned into her ear and laughed softly, "I’m afraid that if I get drunk and bother you, I might end up sleeping on the doorstep tonight."

The moment the word "doorstep" was mentioned, Su Pan’er immediately thought of how she had kicked Qin Yi out of the room when she just found out she was pregnant, and as a result, he ended up sleeping on the doorstep all night.

She couldn’t help but stretch out a finger and push his cheek away.

"Serves you right! If you want to sleep on the doorstep, I won’t stop you."

Her eyebrows curved and her mood was obviously good.

Qin Yi chuckled and didn’t say anything. He picked up his chopsticks and served her a dish she loved, then started eating.

"Eat quickly; the dishes won’t taste good when they cool down!"

"Hmph!"

Su Pan perfected grunted and started eating.

Just as they were enjoying their meal, they heard the voice of Lui Ming from outside the private room. Su Pan’er and Qin Yi looked at each other, and a knock sounded on the door. Lui Ming entered from outside.

"I heard from the servants that you two had arrived, so I rushed over. Seems I’m not late. I hope you two don’t mind, haha!"

"Uncle Lui, you surely know how to make a joke. Please have a seat!"

The couple invited Lui Ming to take a seat.

"A few days ago, Yi’er went to the outlying province to buy grain."

Lui Ming sat down opposite them, "I was planning to pay a visit to the Qin family in a few days. Now that I have bumped into you, it saves me the trip."

The couple looked at each other and saw surprise in each other’s eyes, "Oh? Uncle Lui is looking for us. Is there anything crucial?"

Lui Ming is quite unlike Lui Muyi. It’s been a while since he retired from the front stage and stopped dealing with business affairs.

Lui Ming slightly withdrew his smile and sighed.

"Although the Lui family is involved in many industries, we have never entered the grain business. Do you know why?"

How could there be any other reasons?

Su Pan’er was puzzled, but Qin Yi frowned, "Could it be that trading grain would cause problems for the Lui family?"

"Yes and no."

Lui Ming sighed again, "The Lui family has only been flourishing for a few decades, which is indeed unstable. Although Uncle Lui has some connections in the court, dealing with grain can easily attract attention, especially during famine years!" He hinted at something.

Once Lui Ming said those words, Su Pan’er immediately understood!

If a famine were to occur, this grain might become a death lock.

"Uncle Lui doesn’t approve of this business?"

"This isn’t something I can solve by approving or not approving."

Lui Ming thought for a while, "Yi’er is stubborn. He wanted to go to the outlying province and went directly there. I couldn’t persuade him."

It seems that Lui Ming disagrees with this situation!

Qin Yi and Su Pan’er looked at each other but did not discuss this matter further.

Seeing their serious expressions, Lui Ming laughed, "Let’s not talk about this for now, let’s talk about the winery. Since its opening, it has had an excellent reputation. This health wine, with genuine medicinal ingredients, has good sales. Not just in Yongze County, but it also does well in a few nearby counties."

While speaking, he put an account book in front of them.

Su Pan’er picked it up and took a look.

"Look, this is the sales figure for the two months since the opening. It’s showing a clear growth trend."

Lui Ming pointed to a few pages in the account book and said enthusiastically, "Especially in Changze County, due to Registrar Bai in the past, our Lui family’s wine was delayed in entering Changze County. Now that Registrar Bai has fallen from power, our Lui family seized the opportunity to enter Changze County. Now, the sales there are even better than in Yongze County!"

Talking about these matters, Lui Ming was obviously ecstatic and kept calculating with them.

Then he had someone bring out Su Pan’er’s share and handed it over,"This is this month’s dividend, please accept it. Judging by the current trend of development, the winery’s expansion is just around the corner!"

Looking at the wrapped gold bars, Qin Yi frowned slightly but said nothing in the end.

After leaving the winery, Lui Ming had someone send a few jars of good wine loaded onto their carriage to take home.

Even as their horse carriage sped away from the winery, Qin Yi’s brows had still not relaxed.

"You seem preoccupied. Is there something bothering you? Let’s discuss it."

Su Pan’er asked softly.

Qin Yi originally didn’t want to talk about it, but considering something, he expressed his concerns.

"In the past, I wasn’t in a position of power, so it was fine to accept these things. But now, if someone grabs this and spreads a rumor to the inspection official, I’ll have to go through more trouble."

"This is a family business, who can say anything? Just as water without fish is tasteless, so a man without followers is a failure!"

Su Pan’er had a clear understanding of the situation, "If they want to trouble you, one false charge is enough for you to be in a mess! As long as one is honest and clean, why care about others’ opinions? Moreover, this small amount of money would hardly be enough to fill the gaps in the teeth of those truly in power, right?"
