Chapter 223 Don't Marry
The colors of Shu brocade are gorgeous and complicated, which is extremely rare, but Qin Zhao feels that she may not be able to hold back the clothes at her age. Changning is almost 17 years old, and Yixing is also about 15 years old. She already has the graceful posture of a girl, and Changning is quite tall. , Yixing is slightly shorter, but compared to the average 15-year-old girl, it is still tall, and the David Kingdom regards plumpness as its beauty. Although the two are not fat at all, they are healthy and bright, so it is no problem to use Shu brocade.

But although she herself is much taller than an ordinary 12-year-old girl, standing with Yixing, she is only a little shorter than Yixing, but she wants to have no breasts, a washboard figure with nothing, No matter how beautiful Shu brocade is, it would be a waste to wear it on her body.

Besides, David's national style is open, and all kinds of Hufu are very popular, but the orthodox David's women's attire is a long skirt and a hand-held drape, which is beautiful and beautiful, but it is very inconvenient to move. Tablets can’t support the gorgeousness of David’s women’s clothing. Therefore, in addition to wearing princess-style clothing, Qin Zhao has always been wearing Hu clothing or men’s clothing. Of course, she is not alone. Women from the Kingdom of David Men's travel is also a popular trend.

Qin Zhao said with a smile: "Shu brocade is rare, and I don't like to be dressed in skirts. Even if my sisters made me a double body, I wouldn't be able to wear it. It's a waste of such good material. The two sisters just make two bodies for themselves." gone."

Changning and Yixing also knew that she was telling the truth, so they smiled and said: "No matter how good something is, it's useless if you don't like it. If you don't like to wear it, then forget it. Just don't be lazy, help us to see the style and what to do. good."

Qin Zhao picked up the painting sample and looked at it. The color of the Shu brocade was gorgeous, so Qin Zhao chose a very simple one: "This one is not bad. The color of the Shu brocade is magnificent and the styles are complicated. The style should be simpler to be more suitable. When the time comes Then it is covered with a smoky light gauze, and it is really beautiful when it is faintly visible in the action. Isn’t there a saying that is called half-faced with a pipa? That’s what it means.”

Chang Ning stretched out his onion finger, smiled and nodded her forehead: "As long as you have a lot of tricks, let's do it this way."

The three of them talked about going to the palace during the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Yixing said with a smile: "Cousin Qinghua's marriage is also settled, the emperor's grandma and mother look after each other. I don't know if Cousin Qinghua can enter the palace to participate in the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet."

Qinghua is gentle and kind. Qin Zhaoji likes her, but he is not familiar with her. After all, Qinghua came to see her side by side in the palace at the end of spring and early summer. It is a pity that there will be a party at that time, because of Yuchi Lanlan, Luo Jingyun and others. Qin Han was very unhappy. Qinghua only stayed at Qin's house for two days before returning home, and he hasn't seen him since.

Getting married to a woman is a big deal, but Qin Zhao has always been busy, so he didn't hear anyone talk about it. Hearing Yixing's words, Qin Zhao said with a smile: "Which family did Princess Qinghua promise? Such a big happy event , I didn’t hear about it, and I didn’t say congratulations to Princess Qinghua, but I was rude, so I will back up the gift in the past two days, and send it to Prince Jin’s mansion.”

Yixing gave her a blank look: "Second Sister and I prepared the gift for you. Seeing how busy you are a few days ago, who dared to disturb you. I just told you, I'm afraid you also came in from the right ear and out from the left ear." But this is considered a good thing, the promise is the son of the prince of the Duke of Jing, the future wife of the Duke of Jing."

The famous officials of the old Lord Jingguo were the first generals to follow Emperor Li. This person is not only good at martial arts, but also good at strategy. He has won the trust of Emperor Li. He is only old, and now he rarely comes out to socialize. His wife is famous. Mrs. Yasukuni, the collective idol of women in the Kingdom of David, was born as a geisha, and she took the position of Mrs. Guogong. The birth of the Duke's wife has a great relationship. Duke Jing respects her very much. The two have been together for decades, and their relationship is extremely deep. Duke Jing has never taken a concubine in his life, which is the best proof.Even though the Duke's wife was very hot-tempered, Duke Yasukuni never changed his original intention.

It is said that behind a successful man, there must be a good woman. Mrs. Yasukuni is such an admirable woman. The old concubine looks kind and kind, but her vision is high, and there are not many people who can get her praise , but every time Mrs. Yasukuni is mentioned, I admire her very much.Although this old Duke's wife came from a humble background, she managed the family strictly, and the children and grandchildren of the Duke of Yasukuni's mansion did not take care of the younger ones.

It is really a good thing that Qinghua can marry into Duke Jing's mansion, and Qin Zhao is also very happy for her: "Then I should really be happy for Princess Qinghua. I don't know what kind of gift the two sisters gave me. Looking back I will supplement the two older sisters."

Yixing rolled his eyes: "Come on, who cares about your little things, just cook some delicious treats to reward my second sister and me."

Qin Zhao said with a smile, "Obey."

Chang Ning on the other side didn't make a sound all the time, and looked a little absent-minded, so Qin Zhao asked, "What is Second Sister thinking?"

Chang Ning came back to his senses, his face flushed, and he hurriedly said: "I'm thinking about making clothes. It's getting cold at the beginning of the year. I'm free today. Why don't I think about how to make winter clothes? Yixing and I helped the director, and it must be Yixing and I who made up our minds about this matter later. Brother, didn’t he bring a lot of leather back when he returned to Beijing? We will each make a few new leathers this year, or let’s go to the warehouse Have a look?"

Qin Zhao shook his head: "You and Third Sister can just go and have a look. I'll go and see grandma again, and I'll cook something delicious for you tonight."

Chang Ning knew that she was most impatient with these things, so he responded with a smile.

It was because of Yixing that Qinghua's marriage was brought up, and thinking about her own marriage, she was out of her mind. She said that she went to the warehouse, but it was just to change the topic, just a temporary idea. Seeing that Qin Zhao would not go, she said: " You don’t want to go, and I’m too lazy to move. You can go to grandma’s place. A Xu and I called the people from the sewing room to come. Since we have chosen the appearance, we might as well arrange it today. In the palace, you can still wear it."

Qin Zhao left the two of them and went to Shourongju.

However, the old concubine was taking a nap because she didn't sleep well last night, so Qin Zhao bid farewell and went back to Fucui Pavilion.

Idle around, so I asked someone to fetch the pumpkin they brought back, and the spinach to get the juice, and made colorful steamed dumplings with golden and green skins, and kept the food for Qin Zhe in his yard, and gave the rest to Rongshou There is also Yulan Ju and sent it to Princess Jinyang.

It's not good to be rare, and the few little maids who gave things have won a lot of rewards.

In the evening when Qin Zhe returned home, Qin Zhao asked someone to invite him to Fucui Pavilion for dinner. Seeing the clear and bright golden and green steamed dumplings, Qin Zhe also praised and praised: "Azhao is not only smart, There are very few people with this kind of food, and we don't know which young man will be lucky enough to marry us Ah Zhao in the future."

Qin Zhao blushed a little at what he said.

She's just a foodie, isn't that really an advantage?
Speaking of Qin Zhao's marriage, these days Qin Zhe has met quite a few disciples of nobles from Chang'an City, and there are not many who can catch his eye.On the contrary, I think Luo Jingnian and Luo Jinghua brothers are good.The Luo family and his own family must be married. If Ah Zhao can marry in the past, Luo Laogong loves Ah Zhao so much, it is a good marriage, and Luo Jingnian is young and handsome, and no one in Chang'an City can match him, but the family thinks He knew about marrying his second younger sister Ah Chen to Luo Jingnian, and felt a little pity in his heart.Although Luo Jinghua was not bad, he was much better than those dandies, but after all, Qin Zhao was born as a concubine, and Qin Zhao was appointed by the princess, so the two were not suitable.

Qin Zhao didn't know that Qin Zhe had already thought about her marriage, and was also a little ashamed by Qin Zhe's praise, so he asked about the "auspiciousness" of the red sweet potato.

Qin Zhe said: "We thought it might not be necessary. Uncle Chen and Biao Luo told us not to worry about it, and let them do it. Now that the old man has spoken, we can just relax. Speaking of which, what about the sweet potato?" Can you harvest in time? If it can be delayed for a while, let’s talk about it after the Mid-Autumn Festival. I will find a time to ask my uncle how it was decided.”

Although it was handed over to the two old men, Chen and Luo, such a major matter would naturally have to be reported to Qin Huaiyu, the head of the family.

Qin Zhaodao: "I've been busy these days, so I forgot to ask. It's only been a few days, and I just finished my work here, and I'm going to visit the farm. I just think that my brother will go back to the north after the Mid-Autumn Festival." Ting, my brother has been in the capital these days, and I have not been able to accompany him well, so I am a little reluctant. Even if the red sweet potato is ripe, it will not rot if it is not harvested in the field for a while."

Qin Zhe rubbed her head with a smile: "Silly girl, it's not like my brother won't come back. When you get married, I will come back to give you a wedding."

Qin Zhao curled his lips: "I'm not going to get married, so what's the point of getting married?" After saying this, thinking of his brother Shu Minglang, he no longer had the entanglements he had before, and only felt sad for a while.

Some things have really passed away. I struggled with them for so long in my previous life, and it became the unwillingness and pain in that life. I can’t let go of it until I die. See you in this life. The same face, different people, she won’t, and she won’t The courage to do the stupid thing of flying moths into the flames again, because they clearly knew that it was impossible, so they persuaded themselves to persuade themselves, but instead, they just threw it away.

Thinking of that young man with a face like a crown of jade, who was obviously so cold, but jokingly said, I will marry you when you grow up, thinking of it now, Qin Zhao finds it a little funny.

Qin Zhe just laughed when she heard what she said about not marrying.At that time, she was just a soft little chubby who liked to cling to her, and she was only such a small ball in her arms. Now, when it comes time, she will tell him "I don't want to marry" half coquettishly and half angry. age.

Time seemed to pass by in a blink of an eye.The difficulties in the past, so many days that seemed unbearable to look back on, seemed not so sad in front of her bright smile.Even the hatred in my heart is no longer so heavy.

He promised his mother that he would take care of Ah Zhao for the rest of his life and let her live happily.

Now it seems that he is working hard to become a mountain that she can rely on, and Azhao is just a weak flower that only needs his care?She also has her strength, she has never been a delicate girl who hides behind him and depends on him to live.She is also working hard to grow up and grow into a tree that can stand side by side with him. While he is taking care of her, she is also doing her best to help him.

The recipe for frying oil is, and so is today's sweet potato.

With such a sister, no matter how difficult the road ahead is, he no longer finds it difficult at all.

Qin Huaiyong... One day, he will make him pay the price, even if the man gave birth to him and his body is bleeding.

The two exchanged a few more words, and Qin Zhe went back to Yinyuan to sleep.

The next day, Qin Zhao wanted to send a post to Chen Jinwu, and then send a letter to Pei Zhujie to encourage him to write a story. Then he would go to the tea shop in the afternoon, and drop by A Shu and his shop. What's the matter, I don't want Zisu, but ask Chunyuyu to see her.

Qin Zhao couldn't help laughing.

These days, she is busy accounting for the Wang Mansion, the Princess Mansion, and the oil workshop, but those really have nothing to do with her, but she forgot about her own tea shop.

In August, it's really time to check the accounts.

I don't know how much profit the tea shop has made this quarter.

In fact, Qin Zhao is not worried about the business of the tea shop.Making money is sure, it's just a matter of how much.Maybe it doesn't take until the end of the year to earn back all the money invested.

The people my aunt sent out found a lot of tea trees in the places where she circled the house.It's a pity she can't go out now.Those places have already been bought. If possible, next year, she will definitely find an opportunity to go out and travel. She will definitely find a way to develop tea with the tea making technology she knows.

Sure enough, Chunyuyu brought the ledger.

After Chunyuyu saluted, Qin Zhao greeted her to sit down with a smile: "Sister Chunyu has worked hard these days."

Compared with the slightly weak look before, Chunyuyu's expression now has a bit more bright and generous, revealing a confident demeanor. After listening to Qin Zhao's words, Chunyuyu smiled and said: "It's hard work, although it's only half a year. Whether it is a tea restaurant or a tea shop, everything is on the right track, and I am much easier to do than at the beginning. Although the business is very good and I am very busy, but I am so busy every day, I am happy .”

Qin Zhao said with a smile, "It's good that Sister Chunyuyu is happy with what she's doing. There's no one in the shop to make trouble, right?"

Chunyuyu said: "We all know that our shop is owned by Princess Qinghe, how can anyone feel uncomfortable going there? What's more, Lord Chen Xiaoguo will go around every two days, and there are soldiers from the Right Jinwu Guard in the city to help Take care, how can someone dare to cause trouble in our shop?"

"That's good. I've been busy all along, and I don't have time to attend to the shop. I'm leaving you alone to worry about it, and I don't know how the business is doing these days?"

When it came to the business of the shop, the smile on Chunyuyu's face became brighter: "It's all right, the accounts are managed according to the method you said, and the accountants are also doing their best. I took a quick look. In the past six months, we The profit has reached more than 1 taels, and the cost of opening the store has been recovered.”

The shop has eight frontages, and the monthly rent for each room is 50 taels, a total of 400 taels a month. From the renovation to the present, the rent cost is about 4000 taels, and 3000 taels were spent on the renovation. The cost of tea is also calculated, but it can only be calculated according to monthly consumption, and then there are personnel commissions and equipment loss. Qin Zhao took the account book and read it carefully, and there was nothing wrong with it. After checking it for many hours, there is no discrepancy.

In this way, the cost has been recovered, and there are still more than 8000 taels of profit. Calculated, there is an average of more than 1000 taels of profit per month.This is the profit after directly deducting the cost. If there is no need to deduct the decoration cost in the future, there is no problem in making a profit of two thousand taels a month. In this way, she alone accounts for 2% of the profit of [-] taels a year, and the rest is Princess Jinyang, Princess Qinghe, and Chen Jinwu each took [-]%.

As long as the teahouse is like this now, she can earn 8000 taels of silver a year.

This is still the status quo.In fact, the cost of tea is counted, and she has another profit on the tea, which must add up to over ten thousand.Moreover, there will be more varieties of tea in the future, and the profit will increase. If this continues, when she gets married, even if she is not counted among the princes, her dowry will be very considerable.

She also has the salary of the princess and the income of the Shiyi Zhuangzi, and the output of the farm is no lower than that of the teahouse.

There are also incomes from meat jerky workshops and caravans that others don't know about.

After all, she is the future rich woman of Chang'an City.

On the northwest side, she and Ashu also agreed that all the proceeds there would be reserved for Xia Shi and Yuanzi, and she didn't want it.

Thinking that he is now considered the second generation of officials and the richest generation, Qin Zhao is in a good mood.

After closing the account book, he said to Chunyu Yu: "It looks really good. I hope sister Chunyu will take more care in the future. After you go back, tell the guys that you will give everyone red envelopes at the end of the year. A year of hard work will make everyone have a good time." Year."

Chunyu Yu smiled and said, "That slave thanked the princess for everyone."

Only then did Qin Zhao ask Chunyu Shang: "Speaking of which, I have been ordered by Chunyu many times to help, but I have never thanked him formally. When I have free time, please ask Chunyu to sit in the teahouse."

Chunyuyu hurriedly said: "What did the princess say? If it weren't for the princess, brother, how would he have the opportunity to be an orderer?"

Chun Yushang was just a small supervisor at first, but now he is the order of the right school office.Although it is only an official of the eighth rank, the supervisor is of no rank, which can be regarded as jumping three ranks in a row.

Qin Zhao smiled: "I didn't help anything, Chunyu ordered me to be capable."

The position of Chunyushang's order was obtained by Qin Zhao with the help of Mr. Chen.

Although he never told Chun Yushang explicitly, although Chun Yushang was upright and not stupid, he naturally knew that Qin Zhao had contributed to it.

Qin Zhao asked about the situation in the teahouse again, and Liu Chun and Yuyu had lunch together.

After the meal, he asked Chunyuyu how much cash he had in the teahouse. After deducting the retained working capital, the rest was just distributed proportionally, and Chunyuyu was asked to send it to Princess Qinghe's mansion, Princess Jinyang, and Chen Jinwu according to the arrangement. go.

After talking about the matter, Chunyuyu was worried about the teahouse, so he left.

Qin Zhao thought that the Mid-Autumn Festival would be around the corner, and although there were festivals in the mansion to send to other mansions, she had to do her best to prepare a copy for the Chen family and the Luo family.

In addition, Chunyu's family also had to give a gift, but this had nothing to do with the palace, it was her personal gift.

So he called Zisu to discuss the matter of etiquette.

When he didn't want to sit down and talk, he listened to the report from the little maid outside the door, saying that it was the Fifth Miss Qin Han who came to visit.

Qin Zhao frowned.

　Thank you Yuexi, Night Cat, Red and Black Metal, and Shumeng for the recommended tickets and monthly tickets.Happy to see votes.
