Chapter 227 Asking
He sighed again: "Your Majesty is old. Now the capital looks calm, but the inside is also turbulent. The trees want to be quiet but the wind keeps on. They are all staring at the highest position. The prince has become more and more ugly in recent years. Fortunately, Your Majesty Respect the empress, Your Majesty didn't touch the prince. If the empress is the empress, I'm afraid there will be another great change in the world. You are a girl, so I shouldn't have told you these things, but my grandfather knew in his heart that you and Ah Zhe have that bastard Dad, it’s better not to have. Back then, I didn’t agree with the marriage between your mother and that bastard, but your mother was willing. After all, the old Qin’s family is also a well-known family. When your grandfather was in the past... Me and him What I drink is a mother's milk, and my affection is closer than a brother. Your grandparents also love your mother, so I agreed. I thought about people like us, and your mother is of such a background. For the sake of the older generation, your mother's life is not bad, even if your father is a bit treacherous, under our noses, he would not dare to lose your mother, but unexpectedly, he did. I have lived my whole life, but the eyes in my heart are bright. As long as my old man lives for a day, I will keep you safe. Grandpa is very happy that you came to find me today to talk about things. In the future, just ask me about anything. "

The great-grandfather died while defending the city, and the grandfather was only one year old. He was rescued by the great-grandmother of the Chen family, and was raised by the great-grandmother of the Chen family. Therefore, he and Mr. Chen were separated from each other when they were young, and then they became adults. They met again in troubled times, fought the world together, and followed Jinshang together. Qin Zhao also knew about these past events.

Hearing the old man's feelings, Qin Zhao knew that the old man really regarded her as his granddaughter. Speaking of which, she originally wanted to use the old man's thoughts to keep herself safe and happy. I can't help but feel a little guilty.And the old man stared at Jin Xing, seeing that her father was not a thing, Qin Zhao had to admire the old man's wisdom, he was really a mature person, speaking of it, whether it was her or Qin Zhe, although there was no father-son relationship in front of Qin Huaiyong , but he also has the respect that a man and a child should have, and he doesn't mention Qin Huaiyong outside, but the old man can see the essence of Qin Huaiyong's scum, which makes her admire.

"Grandpa, I know it in my heart. Ah Zhao is not ignorant. Although you think that Ah Zhao has suffered in the past, in fact, Ah Zhao feels that he is very lucky. Even in those years outside, he has never suffered a little. , back home, there are so many elders who love me, and my elder brother treats me like a treasure. If Ah Zhao feels that he is suffering, how can there be anyone who is happy in this world? I only hope that you, Grandpa, Grandmother, and Grandpa Luo, both live to be a hundred years old. In the future, Azhao will marry a good husband and live a peaceful and smooth life. Besides, the delicious food that Azhao cooks must have Grandpa and grandma joined in, Ah Zhao is having fun doing it."

Qin Zhao always referred to Mr. Chen as Grandpa's grandfather, but he called Luo Che "Grandpa". The old man didn't say anything, but he felt a little jealous in his heart.They all love this girl equally, but she treats Old Boy Luo more closely.Now this "Grandpa", the old man is full of heart, he is really caring, and he feels that it is not in vain to hurt this girl, his own four sons, many grandchildren, but those naughty things, just No one has this child who can be loved. Look at what this said, can people not love her?

The old man was very upset, but his face was pulled down on purpose: "You shameless little girl, she is thinking about getting married, don't worry, I am here with grandpa, I will find you someone Dear little gentleman."

If we say that we loved this child in the past, it was firstly because of her uncle who left early, his old brother who made him regret when he thought about it; Her own daughter is just like her own daughter, and she also has a lot of fate to pity this girl. She lost her mother since she was a child. Not on, can not rely on.

But after getting along for the past two years, she is sensible, generous, well-behaved, and caring. Even when she is naughty, she makes people happy and heart-warming. She is really a good girl who can't help but want to protect her and love her.

Qin Zhao rolled his eyes at the old Demon King, and said arrogantly: "A good girl like Ah Zhao, which young man in the family is worthy of her? So A Zhao doesn't need her grandfather to find a young man. Ah Zhao can only focus on being filial to her grandparents. Ladies and gentlemen, it’s just a happy fruit for the elderly.”

The old man laughed loudly: "Yes, yes, the girls in our family must have such a heart."

He said again: "You don't have to worry about other things. Anyway, remember that with us old guys here, we can support you for a few more years."

She told about the management of the Huangzhuang, but the old man didn't say anything, so people would naturally ask people to find out the details. Qin Zhao smiled and asked again: "Brother said that your majesty will have to stay in the afternoon when you go to the farm. Meal, let me ask my aunt how many cooks to go to the farm, does Grandpa think this is a good idea?"

The old devil nodded: "Your elder brother is careful, you will not be wrong if you listen to him."

After saying a few more words, the old devil sent her away: "Don't play tricks on me here, I know you are impatient to talk to me, an old man, go find that brat Bohu and Jinwu Go play, I heard from Bohu that your tea shop is pretty open, I only like wine, not Lao Shizi's tea, but your grandmother likes it, so she will send you some good tea."

Qin Zhao said with a smile: "Let my cousin fetch some later to honor my grandmother. However, the tea has been put out for half a year, and it is also old, and the taste is not very good. The taste of summer and autumn tea is always worse than that of early spring tea. Some, and I will send some more to my grandmother when the spring of next year comes."

The old devil waved his hand and sent her out.

But when the old devil brought up the wine, Qin Zhao refused to leave. She had been thinking about what the caravan would sell to the Northwest or outside the region to make the most money.

Nowadays, the business routes to the Western Regions are well developed, and everyone is doing business such as silk, tea and porcelain. Compete, and spend more thought.

People in the north love wine, and really good wine is extremely rare. At least the idea of ​​spirits she made is the good wine that the nobles in the entire capital city are vying for.Although Qin Zhao originally managed to get it out because the old man liked to drink, but this thing, even in later generations, is a commodity with amazing profits.

However, the wine in the Kingdom of David was bought by the government, and the court monopolized it, and it was illegal for the people to sell wine.Although noble families would privately brew some fine wines to entertain guests as gifts, they could not sell them.

However, if Duke Lu's government wants to sell wine, His Majesty will not stop showing face.

Aristocrats in the capital, which branch of the art industry has not yet ordered money?Otherwise, how can you support the huge expenses brought about by that luxurious life with only that little salary and property?

"Grandpa, our family's wine is so popular, and now everyone is looking forward to establishing a relationship with Duke Lu's mansion, making some good wine and going back to taste it. You said, how about setting up a wine shop in our family? "

Speaking of the strong wine, the old devil felt at ease.

Now whoever sees him, old Chen, regardless of the relationship in the past, whether he is pleasing to the eye or not, after seeing him now, they will come to him with a smiley face to sell well, hoping to get a good deal Old Chen's wine, go back and treat your guests to drink by yourself.

It's just that it's worth nothing if you drink it yourself or give it away. Which rich family doesn't have some home-brewed wine?

But if it is to build a wine shop, it will be different.

The old devil said: "Although the wine is good, it will be more troublesome if you are a winery. Our old Chen's family is not short of this money. To be honest, what is your plan?"

Qin Zhao pursed his lips and smiled: "I know that you are rich and powerful, grandpa. Speaking of which, I am not only making money for ourselves, but I also want to contribute to the court, right? Think about it, Beidi Western Region, there are still wine If we sell wine there, wouldn’t we be able to exchange countless gold and silver for the court? This is more money than selling silk tea. You said, why did those small neighboring countries invade our country from time to time? environment? Especially those nomads, don’t they want our land? Isn’t it for money? But we do business with them, but we can get the wealth of those countries without a single soldier. Leading troops to fight is certainly a war In fact, the benefits of fishermen are also wars, which are called commercial wars. Silk tea, etc., are all like this. Those small countries are all vassals, one is to look up to my David Tianwei, and the other is because our David country is rich and peaceful. The benefits bestowed by the Son of David. Grandpa, do you think it is or not? So, Grandpa, don’t think that our winery is for money, it is for the benefit of the country. And you think, wine The cost is much lower than silk porcelain, but the profit is definitely higher than silk porcelain. What a good deal this is. Besides, isn't there a pre-existing example of cooperation with the court? "

"A pre-existing example?"

"Think about it, isn't the oil workshop?"

Old Chen pondered, isn't it?It's just that oil mills and wine mills, can they be the same?One is to solve the problem that the people have to grow beans, but it can't improve the lives of the people, but the wine is different. Wine consumes food.The people of the Kingdom of David don’t have enough to eat themselves, so how can there be any surplus food to make wine and sell to those northern barbarians?People in the Kingdom of David love wine, and the trading of wine is controlled by the court, and a small part of it is also because of the excessive waste of food.

As soon as Lao Chen expressed his doubts, Qin Zhao was a little speechless.

Yes, the old man doesn't look rough, but he is actually a kind-hearted man, and he has the people of the Kingdom of David in his heart.To make wine, of course food is needed.But the problem is, that's not what it says.

Qin Zhao thought for a while, then smiled and said, "Grandpa's thinking makes sense, but Ah Zhao didn't think carefully. But grandpa, don't you forget, don't we have sweet potatoes now? That can also be used to make wine. Besides, we Now there is sweet potato, and sweet potato is a very easy-to-grow crop. It does not have high requirements on the climate and soil quality. It can be planted in the north and south. As long as the court can promote it, within a few years, the whole country of David can grow it. , even if sweet potatoes cannot replace grains, but at least to a certain extent, it can ensure that the people will not be hungry, right? Besides, this wine is not produced in unlimited quantities. How much wine can a winery produce in a year? As long as we This wine making method is not leaked out, and others will not be able to make wine like ours for a while, even if they want to open this winery, it will not be successful. Besides, the winery can only be operated with the approval of the court. As long as the court is in control, the problems you worry about, Grandpa, will not happen, don't you think?"

Old Chen thought, isn't that the reason?
He didn't pay much attention to these general affairs, so he waved his hand: "If you like it, then do it. Grandpa can talk about it in the yamen. But why does Grandpa feel that he was fooled by you little girl again?" What? To be honest, are you thinking about this wine because of the little eagle caravan?"

Qin Zhao chuckled: "Mr. Chen is wise."

In fact, she said so many high-level reasons, all of which are all nonsense. What kind of person is Lao Chen?How could it be possible to be fooled by her, but she just thought of Shan Xiaoying.The old man didn't know that the caravan people who were with Shan Xiaoying were originally Qin Zhao's people, and they thought it was Shan Xiaoying's own team.

After being glared at by the old devil, Qin Zhaocai continued to smile and said, "Since grandpa agreed, then we have to prepare to go to the wine cellar first. The wine will get better and better with age. In a few years, grandpa will definitely be able to drink the real Tianfu fine wine. Yes Grandpa, since we have decided to open a wine shop, why don't you think of a name for this wine?"

"The Tianfu fine wine you just mentioned, isn't it very good?"

Qin Zhao clapped his hands: "Sure enough, grandpa is knowledgeable, this name, when our winery is built later, we will find a way to make this brand of Tianfu fine wine popular."

Since the old man agreed, there is no need to tell the old man about the specific matters, and the old man will not be bothered with these trivial matters, so the old devil king wanted to send her away, but Qin Zhao refused to leave without saying a word.

The old devil raised his brows: "If there is anything else, dare to say it together. I know that what you ghost girl said about missing Grandpa is a lie. Did you come here because of something?"

Qin Zhao stared and said, "It's really sad that grandpa said that. But, Ah Zhao really has something to ask grandpa."

"Let's talk." The old devil waved his hand impatiently.

Qin Zhao leaned forward and said, "Uncle arranged a marriage for my brother. She is the second daughter of the head of the Yasukuni Mansion, the girl from the Li family who leads the hair practice in the monastery. Grandpa thinks that this marriage can be concluded. No? Ah Zhao just heard brother mention it occasionally, but he doesn't know what brother himself means."

It's not that she doesn't believe in Qin Huaiyu, but marriage is a lifelong event, and that person is to be with her for the rest of her life. She doesn't want Qin Zhe to be unhappy.Although he knew in his heart that it was impossible for a family like them to give up political marriage, but in his heart he hoped that under this premise, Qin Zhe could find the woman he liked.

In one life, no one can be as good as he wants, but he still hopes to be as good as possible, and even better.She wants everyone around her to be happier.

Speaking of it, when it comes to looking for a backer, Luo Laoguo is tougher than anyone else, but when it comes to people's sophistication, it is this old Chen who looks the most careless, who is the best.Ask him for his opinion, sure.

After hearing this, Lao Chen glanced at Qin Zhao, thought for a while, and then laughed: "Your uncle really values ​​Zhe'er. Don't worry, little girl. You can't go wrong with marrying the Li family."

When Qin Zhao heard this, he couldn't help feeling a little bit embarrassed. The family that his uncle liked, his elder brother also agreed. It can be seen that marrying the Li family must be beneficial to Qin Zhe. Now the old Duke also said the same, saying that it is good to marry the Li family, but But no one wanted to ask, how about the second girl of the Li family?Even Qin Zhe, the person involved, didn't ask.

If it was said that Qin Zhe really didn't care about the woman she was going to marry, and didn't want to know what she looked like, what kind of character she was, what hobbies she had, she wouldn't believe it to death.In this era where concubine and concubine are more important than everything else, how can an unworthy concubine be unimportant to a family?
Qin Zhao nodded, and then smiled and said, "Since grandpa agreed, it must be right. I won't bother grandpa. Ah Zhao is going to find his cousin and cousin."

It was obviously a brisk tone, but it was a little sad.

Old Chen naturally couldn't hear the girl's sorrow, so he just sent her out.

When I went to Chen Jinwu's courtyard, I heard Chen Erhuo and Chen Jinwu talking in the room.The two were laughing and joking, and Qin Zhao stood in the corridor with a smile on his lips.

There are always some people in this world who, no matter what, live happily.They live happily by themselves, and they can also be happy when others look at them.

Jinwu's maid, Xiao Qiao, stood by the door, blessed Qin Zhao, lifted the curtain to announce, Qin Zhao waved his hand, entered the room by himself, and said with a smile through the screen, "What are you talking about, cousin? You are so happy." ?”

Chen Erhuo's chubby body jumped up flexibly on the couch, with red flowers and willow green all over his body, with endless joy: "Azhao, you are finally here. What did you say to the old man? After talking for so long. If you don't come again, I'm not afraid of the old man's scolding, so I went to find you."

Chen Jinwu also got up and pulled Qin Zhao, and sat next to him: "Grandmother said, let you have lunch at home. Later, we have lunch and go out for a walk? I have always been at home, but it suffocates me." .”

Although the Chen family is Wu Xun, there are not so many rules, but her marriage has already been decided, and a small engagement ceremony will be made in a few days, it is really not good to go around like before, but fortunately, the second brother of the You family lives in the Chen family. Didn't go back to the You family's old house in Beijing. David's folk customs are open, and unmarried couples can meet each other. Therefore, Chen Jinwu said that he was bored. Go for a walk in the street.It's just not as free as before.

Qin Zhao looked at Chen Jinwu and smiled, and the smiling Chen Jinwu blushed, and said, "I have to go see Grandpa Luo in the afternoon, and then I have to go home. I'm going to the farm in the morning. So go shopping It's not going to happen."

Both Chen Erhuo and Chen Jinwu wondered: "This is the Mid-Autumn Festival, why are you running to the farm?"

Qin Zhaodao: "Isn't it the first time to plant rice this year in my farm? It just happened to be the harvest season, and I was worried, so I ran to have a look. If you two are fine at home, why don't you go with me? "

After hearing this, Chen Erhuo was eager to try, but Chen Jinwu had a bitter face: "Of course I also want to go, but..."

After the Mid-Autumn Festival was her engagement banquet, she naturally couldn't go, and Qin Zhao was just asking for nothing.

"I know you can't go, and when you get married with Brother You, I will definitely come back," he said, taking out a box, "Look, this is given to you by my elder brother. Congratulations, you have become a The family's little daughter-in-law."

In a word, the Golden Crow blushed and stared.

Chen Erhuo opened the box, and the room was filled with jewels.

"This, this gift is too heavy, I dare not accept it." Jin Wu was tongue-tied.

　Thank you everyone for voting.In the past few days, I went to and from the hospital every day, trying to cook various nutritious meals, and feeding my grandma. I suddenly felt that I could take care of others.
