After returning to the capital, the eldest daughter saved her entire clan with her medical skills.

Chapter 114 Intentionally Making Friends

Was that what he meant? Miss Xue said she brought two jars of monkey wine.

Whether it was psychological or not, he could faintly smell the aroma of mellow wine, as if it also carried a hint of fruit.

Saliva was uncontrollably flowing from his mouth. Headmaster Ren could no longer sit still and excitedly stood up to take the wine jar from the maid's hand.

"Headmaster and the other teachers, please try this monkey wine. We just got it a while ago. Please have a taste."

The maid handed the wine jar to Headmaster Ren, then placed the wine cups on the table and poured a small cup of monkey wine for each person.

The wine appears as a transparent yellowish-brown, as clear and translucent as amber.

As the wine jar was gently opened, the rich and mellow aroma instantly filled the entire room, intoxicating all who smelled it.

"Smells, it smells so good!"

Headmaster Ren couldn't wait to take a big gulp. The flavor was rich and mellow, with a hint of fruity sweetness, even better than he had expected.

Seeing that the headmaster had drunk all the monkey wine in his cup, the other teachers, without bothering to offer any, also picked up their cups and drank heartily.

The mellow and smooth texture gently lingers on the tip of the tongue, bringing an indescribable sense of pleasure.

The wonderful taste is like a clear spring flowing down your throat, leaving endless sweetness and satisfaction.

"I had only heard that wild monkeys in the mountains could brew wine before, but I thought it was just a rumor and not to be believed. I never thought that they could actually brew such a fine wine. It's really amazing."

Master Wang was the oldest among them. He was aloof and not good with words, but he was very rigorous in his studies, and his students were all afraid of him.

He drank a full cup of monkey wine with satisfaction and couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

"It is said that this monkey wine also has medicinal value and can strengthen the body."

The other teacher, not to be outdone, stood up, cleared his throat, and began to eloquently recount the stories and legends about monkey wine.

His voice was melodious and full of passion and infectiousness, drawing the listener in completely.

"Miss Xue's gift today is far too valuable. I will take my wife to your residence another day to express my gratitude."

Xue Ruanruan's lunch and monkey wine pleased the headmaster. Little did he know that the contents of the exquisite gift box he casually placed aside would solve a major problem for him and save his wife's life.

"You're too kind, Headmaster. You're welcome to visit."

Headmaster Ren was upright and aloof. Having received such a generous gift for no reason, he insisted on returning it.

Xue Ruanruan insisted on coming to the academy to deliver gifts today, ostensibly to seek justice for Xue Li, but in reality to win over the headmaster and the teacher.

The political situation in the court was clearly divided. The vast majority of civil officials colluded with the Left Chancellor, becoming accomplices in the same boat. Even many military officers secretly befriended the Left Chancellor.

My father is already far away on the frontier and has no time to deal with the intrigues in the court. Now, most of the civil and military officials have been bought off by the Left Chancellor, making them even more isolated and helpless in the court.

Since he was new to the capital, he couldn't directly win over the court officials, so he had to start from other places.

Ren Shanzhang was one of the people she focused on winning over and befriending.

Firstly, the headmaster is an upright, honest, and morally excellent person, making him a very good person to befriend.

Another reason is that the headmaster, as the person in charge of Luming Academy, has countless students under his name. Although he does not hold an official position in the court, his students are all over the country, holding official positions.

If we can befriend Headmaster Ren, it will be beneficial to both Li'er's studies and her father's position in the court.
