Beautiful —
Feng Zhen took a hot bath and changed into soft, airy, and light clothes. As he had been taking the Hanshi powder all year round, his skin was very delicate. A slight abrasion would leave an obvious red mark, and it was extremely painful. That was why he could only wear old and worn-out clothes.
After taking a shower, his long hair was still wet. He sat down and drank a cup of the wine Jiang Pengji brewed.
As soon as the wine entered his stomach, he felt that it was incomparably hot. The warmth spread to his limbs and bones, and the tipsy feeling rushed straight to his brain.
"There's actually such a strong wine in this world? Beautiful! "
At first, he was not used to it, but after a while, the aftertaste was endless. The tipsy feeling made his whole body feel light.
Awesome — —
It felt even better than Hanshi powder.
The corners of Jiang Pengji's eyes twitched. The audience in the streaming room expressed their worries.
Shuzhong Zi Youyan Ruyu: "Streamer, are you sure it's enough for this guy to abstain from Hanshi powder?" Why don't I quit drinking too?
Jianghu Jianghu: "Not only must he abstain from alcohol, he must also abstain from gambling and lust. The livestream should spread positive energy. A guy like Feng Zhen, who has lost his inhibitions, should be reformed." She might as well let him become a monk and forget about the five skandhas.
Luoluo Peanut Candy: Hahaha, although I should sympathize with him, I really can't help but feel sorry for Feng Zhen.
Little Angel: "If he hadn't met the host, Feng Zhen would have been able to do whatever he wanted. He would have been able to court death however he wanted. But now … Sigh, he has no choice … Meeting the host might have been the biggest disaster of Feng Zhen's life.
Jiang Pengji said, "Alcohol can harm the liver easily, so you shouldn't drink too much. Just drink half a bottle today."
She poured the rest of the wine into her own bowl and drank it all in one gulp.
"My wine —"
Just as he reached out to stop her, there were only a few drops of wine left in her bowl. It happened so quickly that Feng Zhen couldn't react in time.
Jiang Pengji sneered. "That's mine."
Feng Zhen gritted his teeth and said, "How can you be so despicable!"
He hadn't had enough.
Jiang Pengji said, "Do you want more? Just endure the next craving. "
Feng Zhen, "…"
I have a saying, 'You are very arrogant, does your father know?' I don't know if I should say it or not.
Liu Xi, come back here!
Just as Jiang Pengji had said, it was very painful in the early stages of giving up the powder. It would act up frequently, but once it was over, it would be a whole new world.
In the beginning, it would only flare up once every one or two days, and each flare up for more than half a day. Gradually, it became a flare up every three to five days, and it would flare up for an hour.
Two months later, Feng Zhen's vitality slowly improved. His cheeks had a healthy flush, and the green color on his lips had faded. Even his thin cheeks had gained some weight. He had yet to completely abstain from Hanshi powder, but when his addiction flared up, he no longer needed Jiang Pengji's special care. Just based on his willpower, he could withstand the withdrawal symptoms and resist the urge to consume Hanshi powder. This was considered a huge improvement.
Of course, based on the ridicule from the audience in the streaming room, perhaps the appeal of fine wine to Feng Zhen was far greater than the Hanshi powder.
The benefits of quitting the powder were obvious. This was something Feng Zhen was most familiar with.
Previously, his brain was like glass that was covered with dirt that was difficult to remove. Now that the dirt was gone, sunlight could pass through the glass without any obstruction.
His thoughts were unprecedentedly clear, and his thinking speed was much faster than before. Even his memory had recovered a lot.
One had to know that after consuming Hanshi powder, his brain was somewhat sluggish and his memory was weak. He would often forget some unimportant things after hearing them.
Jiang Pengji saw that he had recovered well. She directly brought him to the government office and assigned Dian Yan to be his temporary guard. Even if he ran to the toilet, Dian Yan had to wait outside the toilet and was not allowed to leave easily … This made Feng Zhen furious.
Jiang Pengji said, "Isn't it because I'm afraid that your addiction will suddenly act up? With Dian Yan watching over you, I'm more at ease. "
Feng Zhen said, "Who would believe your words?"
Was it because she was concerned about him?
The Hanshi powder he had on him had been wiped clean. Even if he wanted to use it, he couldn't. Occasionally, his addiction to alcohol would kick in and he would want to drink a little or sneak out to play with girls, drinking and having fun. Not long after, Dian Yan would appear with a pair of glaring eyes. He looked at him without saying a word, not saying a word, just looking at him. Even if Feng Zhen was thick-skinned, he was too embarrassed to continue hugging girls.
Was this concern?
After a while, he was almost scared to the point of impotence!
Jiang Pengji said seriously, "The autumn harvest has just ended. Fengyi County has to be busy with the matters of getting through the winter. Whether it's the people's livelihood or the army's training, they come one after another. At such a time, you're enjoying yourself alone. What will others think? After you're done with this, you can play as much as you want. I'll reimburse all your expenses. How about it? "
That good?
Feng Zhen was suspicious, but Jiang Pengji was too sincere. He couldn't help but choose to believe her.
Feng Jin clicked his tongue. His lord's painting skills were even more exquisite. Feng Zhen still didn't know the fear of working overtime.
However, he had secretly seen how Feng Zhen's addiction acted up. Now that he hadn't completely kicked the addiction, would there be any slip-ups if he was allowed to handle official matters?
Jiang Pengji said, "It's alright. Don't be fooled by his sickly appearance. He has too much energy. Once he's idle, no one knows what he's thinking about. It's dangerous for his addiction to act up. Let him work hard in the government office and waste his energy. I guarantee that he won't even have the energy to think about what Hanshi powder is. To put it bluntly, when the addiction flared up in the past, it was because he had nothing better to do. When he's busy, the situation will improve. "
She was speaking nonsense with a straight face, but Feng Jin didn't dare to agree.
Why didn't he know that a heavy workload could help him kick the addiction?
It was obviously his lord who was making things up.
At the end of November, Gu Xin's trusted aide brought a group of merchants to the Xiangyang district. The items he brought this time were much more than the previous totals.
"Your servant greets the owner."
It was the confidant's first time meeting Jiang Pengji, but the respect on his face was not fake.
"How's the plan this time?"
Jiang Pengji discussed in detail with this confidant in the study. The guards and maids around were all cleared away. She even temporarily shut down the streaming room.
Gu Xin's confidant was the manager of the treasure house. He said, "Everything went smoothly. All the 'Colored Glass of the Heavenly Palace' has been sold to the North borderline's business alliance at 30% of the price. The money and jewels exchanged are all recorded here. Owner, please take a look."
Jiang Pengji reached out and received the thick and heavy account book. The records were indeed very detailed. There was not a single discrepancy in the amount.
"You've worked hard this time. I plan to allocate 200,000 strings of coins to reward the merchant group that transported the goods."
Although it was only 30%, the profit was undoubtedly terrifying.
20 sets of glass jewellery were sold at the normal price. The total was 1.83 million strings of coins.
The remaining 2000 sets were sold to the North borderline's business alliance at 30% of the price. The total was 17.36 million strings of coins.
The total was 19.19 million strings of coins. These were all exchanged for gold, silver and jewels of equivalent value. There was not much fluctuation.
The manager of the treasure house also used more than 100,000 strings of coins to purchase a large amount of sheepskin and wool. It almost emptied out the stock accumulated by the farmers in the North borderline.
The manager smiled. "This is what a servant should do."
