At the end of the year, among all the posts, there were not many that were important enough for Qin Shuihan to see.
There are only a handful of people who can let him bring Lin Yi to meet with him.
Qin Shuihan picked up the plum blossom wine on the table, poured a glass for Ye Ziming, and pushed another pot of wine to Lin Yi.
"Yiyi, this is Qingzhu wine. You and Miss Ye can drink this."
After all, they were entertaining guests, and he didn't want her to get drunk and pass out.
Green bamboo wine?
Lin Yi curiously picked up the wine bottle, filled it for Ye Wan first, and then poured himself a glass.
She took a sip. The wine had a fragrance of bamboo leaves, but the taste was so light that it didn't taste like wine.
Is this because I am afraid that I will become drunk and go crazy, or I am afraid that I will fall to the ground drunk...
Qin Shuihan took a sip of wine and spoke lightly.
"Master Ye, it's the end of another year. I think this year's income will be even higher."
Qin Shuihan has been sending people to secretly pay attention to Ye Ziming's movements.
This year's income cannot be fully understood, but it can be estimated at 70-80%.
He knew that this year Ye Ziming had improved two more knives and launched several new products. Recently, he had launched a home hot pot for winter use, which was very popular.
"No, thanks to King Han, it is indeed slightly better than last year. Especially the recent hot pots, thanks to Princess Han."
Ye Ziming smiled heartily, took out an envelope from his arms, and handed it directly to Qin Shuihan.
Although it was an agreement with Lin Yi, she was Qin Shuihan's wife after all.
Zi Ming naturally knows how to avoid suspicion.
Seeing that Qin Shuihan was slightly stunned, he continued to explain: "This is the profit sharing agreed between me and Princess Han. Thanks to Princess Han for designing the hot pot. This winter's income depends entirely on these pots."
Qin Shuihan was a little surprised, it was actually designed by Lin Yi!
He handed the envelope to Lin Yi.
Judging from this thickness, the benefits are quite substantial.
Lin Yi happily took the envelope and said that what she was going to give her was profit sharing, and she had long forgotten about it.
This thickness, tsk tsk, is really a naked temptation of money!
"Master Ye, how much money is there?"
She looked at Ye Ziming excitedly and couldn't help but rub her hands excitedly.
"Thirty percent profit, ten thousand gold."
Ye Ziming curled his lips. He expected it would be a big hit, but he didn't expect such good results.
Lin Yi's mouth opened wide. In just a few days, there were actually ten thousand amounts of gold. That's a lot of money!
She grinned and tilted her head to look at Qin Shuihan.
The two looked at each other.
That little look seemed to be waiting for him to praise her.
Seeing her lively look, Qin Shuihan couldn't help but grin, and couldn't help but reach out and pinch her face.
"My princess is amazing!"
Although he is a noble prince and will not be troubled by money, Qin Shuihan understands that ten thousand taels of gold is indeed an income that ordinary people cannot achieve, and it is also wealth that some poor people cannot earn in their lifetime.
But compared to my own income, it is just a drop in the ocean.
Excluding the salary from the imperial court, the income of the medical clinic alone is completely immeasurable.
Ye Wan on the side couldn't hold it any longer. Why was there such a tense scene?
She thought there would be a gap between them.
It seems like another act of self-indulgence.
Ye Wan drank the wine in the glass again.
Lin Yi noticed Ye Wan's empty cup, suppressed her smile, hesitated for a moment and filled it for her.
She could sense her unhappiness and guess it was because of Qin Shuihan, but she couldn't force things like feelings.
But if it were herself, she would not be willing to attend such a party.
Lin Yi still admired her for this.
Lin Yi saw the bowl of stew in the middle and thought that since it was placed in such a central position, it must be today's main dish. She scooped a few spoons into Ye Wan's bowl.
"Miss Ye, please try this dish."
She felt that it would be inappropriate not to eat, so she made herself another bowl.
The soup is indeed delicious, full of animal fat flavor, but I can't tell what kind of animal meat it is.
It doesn't taste like ordinary poultry. Could it be the game of this era?
"King Han, I am ignorant. What kind of meat is this? I think Miss Ye also likes it very much. Why don't you ask the cook to order another portion?"
Qin Shuihan smiled. This was the imperial meal. The chef in the palace could not make it, but the imperial chef in the palace prepared it and distributed it to them.
Because the method is cumbersome, just the cooking cauldron requires several strong men to lift.
"This dish is called Bazhen. It is mainly made from bear paws, orangutan lips, camel humps, and monkey brains. It is a gift from the emperor. It cannot be made by the chef in the house."
Bear paws, orangutan lips, hump, monkey brain?
Lin Yi's forehead banged and his hands shook, and the chopsticks fell to the table.
Bear Claw even reluctantly accepted it.
The orangutan lips, hump, and monkey brain were unimaginable to her, especially the monkey brain, which was too cruel.
The shapeless monkey face tortured by drug addiction in the laboratory appeared in front of his eyes. Lin Yi covered his mouth with both hands and made a "click" sound.
Fortunately it was just retching...
Qin Shuihan immediately put down his chopsticks and patted her back gently.
"What's wrong?"
Lin Yi watched the three of them eating the "eight delicacies" as usual, and suddenly didn't know what to say.
Qin Shuihan saw her staring blankly at the food in the bowl and couldn't help but wonder, could it be that this "eight delicacies" were not to his liking?
This is a delicacy that even wealthy businessmen like Ye Ziming may not be able to eat.
Lin Yi smiled awkwardly at him, indicating that he was fine, but quietly pushed the bowl further away.
She immediately said hello to the Ye family siblings.
"It's not good to eat. I choked. I'm sorry."
The brother and sister looked at each other. This eight delicacies was very delicious. The cooks in the house also tried to make it, but unfortunately they couldn't stew it with this taste. It was indeed a royal meal.
However, Zi Ming also noticed that Lin Yi didn't seem to like this dish very much.
Are you tired of eating?
Zi Ming felt a little sour in his heart, Qin Shuihan loved him so much.
It is not easy to collect five kinds of Bazhen ingredients.
Ye Wan breathed a sigh of relief. She was shocked just now, thinking that Lin Yi was pregnant.
Fortunately it was a false alarm.
She glanced at Lin Yi again. Although her clothes were simple, the texture was very gorgeous, and her unpainted face was extremely elegant.
She looked down at her dress again. If she wore such clothes, would she look better than her?
The atmosphere was somewhat chilled.
Lin Yi laughed and picked up a random topic.
"Master Ye, of the several hotpots you recommended before, which one is the best-selling and which one is not popular?"
Zi Ming thought for a while and replied: "The small hot pot on a high platform for four people is the best-selling, but the Yuanyang hot pot is relatively unpopular."
Lin Yi frowned, why is the Yuanyang Hot Pot not so popular?
It stands to reason that the more flavors there are, the more choices there will be, and the more people will like them.
She and her best friend Xiao Dan like spicy hotpot with collagen.
Lin Yi thought hard, isn't it spicy?
She had never tasted spicy food after coming to ancient times for so long. Since she didn't like spicy food anyway, it was dispensable, so she didn't realize that there were no chili peppers in this era.
She sighed. The dishes she had eaten here had strong flavors, but they were only seasoned with ginger, garlic, mustard, and pepper. There was indeed no chili.
Although they are considered spices, the taste of chili cannot be replaced by other seasonings.
"It seems the time has not come..."
Lin Yi is a little disappointed. She can't make chili peppers, so she can only rely on God's will. She doesn't know when it will be introduced to China.
"opportunity?"
Ye Ziming looked at her curiously. Could it be related to the right time and place?
Lin Yi felt embarrassed when she saw everyone's questioning looks. How to explain pepper?
"Foyun...cannot be said..."
Qin Shuihan raised his eyebrows, picked up the wine glass and drank with Ye Ziming, thinking that he would ask this little goblin later.
Ye Wan looked at Lin Yi thoughtfully.
In her eyes, a simple sentence turned into playing hard to get, which is the trick used by young ladies.
It is undeniable that Lin Yi is better than himself.
Not to be outdone, she licked her earrings and made a very clear sound.
It's a pity that no one noticed her actions.
Lin Yi was still immersed in the small joy of being fooled again. She lowered her head to eat the food, and her heart was full of joy. It was great to make money.
Suddenly an idea struck me.
She thought of another way to make money, and it was 100% guaranteed.
Lin Yi couldn't hide her inner joy and immediately raised her head to look at Ye Ziming.
"Mr. Ye, this hot pot is only a winter business. But after all, it is ironware and is not easy to break. There will be no such good profits next year. I have a proposal, and I believe it will be a long-term business. I don't know, Mr. Ye. Are you interested?"
Her delicate little face exudes confidence.
Ye Ziming smiled slightly, not knowing what surprise he would bring to him this time.
He glanced at Qin Shuihan and saw the man next to him curling his mouth and sipping wine contentedly. He didn't mind at all that his woman was showing up. It seemed that he, like himself, did not regard Lin Yi as an ordinary person. Boudoir lady.
"Princess Han, please speak."
"I want to customize shoes for the horse so that its hooves are not easily worn. Such things still require iron tools to be cast."
Qin Shuihan took another sip of wine. The feet of animals like horses were indeed very fragile, so he changed his mounts to three.
Except for the horse that accompanied his father on the hunt and was plotted against, the other two horses had injured hoofs and could no longer run.
Ye Ziming hummed softly. He didn't like riding horses for long periods of time, and there were so many horses in his house that he didn't notice the frequency of horses' hoof injuries.
"Iron shoes?"
Ye Ziming had a very strange picture in his mind, and he felt as if his head was spinning.
Lin Yi chuckled. She wanted to earn more this time and kept it all.
"Of course I'm not lying. It's just that this horse has military and civilian uses. Regarding the profit sharing and pricing, Louzhu Ye needs to discuss with King Han. If you are willing to sign an agreement with King Han, I will give you the design drawings soon."
Qin Shuihan put down his wine glass and glanced at Lin Yi.
Ye Ziming raised his glass and took a sip of wine calmly.
They are all smart people, how could they not understand the relationship.
Lin Yi's suggestion was obviously to let Qin Shuihan restrain Ye Ziming. After all, it involved marching and fighting, and Ma's contribution was immeasurable.
If there really is such an artifact, it might be able to determine the outcome of a battle.
Ye Wan's face darkened, she couldn't understand what they were talking about.
Aren't they just a horse's shoes?
Why should horses wear shoes, is it for appearance?
Looking at the expressions of her brother and Qin Shuihan, she knew that Lin Yi's proposal must be very weighty.
No matter how hard I rack my brains, I can't think of such a hard-to-get thing...
She is also the eldest lady, why is Lin Yi different?
She drank the wine in her glass again.
Ye Ziming put down the wine glass in his hand and glanced at Qin Shuihan calmly.
"I believe in Princess Han's ability. It depends on what King Han wants."
Just as Qin Shuihan was about to answer, he felt a small hand reaching out from under the table.
Lin Yi pulled his shirt.
Qin Shuihan turned his head and saw her winking at him desperately, as if he was afraid that he didn't trust her.
mock up!
"I am willing to cooperate."
Lin Yi smiled with satisfaction and picked at his robe with her little hands.
When a woman sings and her husband follows her, a child can be taught.
"Master Ye, just wait and let King Han take the drawings and explain it to you in detail."
"Okay, then I'll trouble King Han and Princess Han."
Ye Ziming looked at the wine in the glass and did not miss the past very much. He missed the days when Lin Yi and himself explained the drawings.
Qin Shuihan noticed his subtle expression, and somehow he vaguely felt that Ye Ziming was interested in Lin Yi.
He couldn't help but look at Lin Yi and saw her holding her head and looking excited.
What was she thinking?
Lin Yi thought happily about the manufacturing of horseshoes. If you can start this thing, you can definitely make a lot of money!
What's the point of just making so much money?
Qin Shuihan was so kind to him, he didn't have to worry about food or clothing, and lying down was no problem.
No, no, no, people still have to pursue something!
Otherwise, what’s the difference between it and salted fish?
Lin Yi turned to look at Qin Shuihan, who happened to be looking at her too.
Why are your eyes a little blurry?
She lowered her gaze to the wine glass in his hand. She must have been drunk!
Who told him to only drink wine and not eat vegetables?
Lin Yi then gave him two pieces of mutton.
"You can't drink like this. Be good and eat some food!"
Qin Shuihan stared at the two pieces of mutton in the bowl, his face full of happiness.
The entire meal was filled with love between the two of them.
Ye Wan's heart felt like it was being cut by a knife. She clenched the empty cup in her hand tightly and looked at Qin Shuihan faintly.
"King Han, is there still wine? Wan'er's wine glass is empty again..."
Qin Shuihan was slightly startled. He glanced at Ye Wan. A faint blush appeared on his fair face. He seemed to have drank a lot. Do you really want to continue drinking?
But with Ye Ziming by her side, it should be okay.
Qin Shuihan was also afraid that he was not polite enough, so he immediately ordered his servants to bring another pot of green bamboo wine.
Ye Ziming looked at Ye Wan distressedly.
"Wan'er, you drank a lot today. Let's drink some other time."
Ye Wan lowered his head and said nothing, he could still drink, he was obviously not drunk at all!
I just wanted to ask the question but it was very uncomfortable to hold it in my heart.
If he proposed to marry Qin Shuihan, would he refuse?
She feels that her appearance is not inferior to that of Lin Yi. Recently, King Huan often invites her on trips and expresses his love to her tactfully.
There are so many people who admire her, but she only likes him!
Not willing to give in!
"Brother, Wan'er is not drunk at all. This wine is too weak. Look how stingy King Han is, why would he serve Wan'er with this wine?"
She twitched the corner of her mouth, lowered her eyes and said coquettishly: "Prince Han, everyone knows that Feng Yuanxuan's plum blossom wine is the most famous, and most of them are in Prince Han's palace. Wan'er also wants to drink that plum blossom wine, okay?"
The sound was like stepping on marshmallows, sweet and chewy.
Qin Shuihan couldn't resist, he frowned and immediately ordered his servants to give Ye Wan a pot of plum blossom brew.
Lin Yi held his head in a daze, what did Ye Wan want to do?
She and Qin Shuihan are in love. If she proposes to marry him, will she be rejected?
However, he had agreed with Qin Shuihan that he would divorce her if he married again. He would not forget that agreement.
Lin Yi secretly took a look at Ye Wan again. She was dressed in a gold-colored dress that made her look so charming. Her rosy face was so dewy that it made people want to kiss her. Maybe it was because of the drinking. The peach blossom eyes looked very blurred.
Would a man not be tempted by such a stunning beauty?
Lin Yi sighed slightly and drank the wine in the glass.
The servant brought two jugs of wine, and Ye Wan took the plum blossom wine and filled it up for herself immediately.
Qin Shuihan was afraid that Lin Yi would imitate her in drinking strong wine, so he poured the green bamboo wine into her cup at lightning speed.
Lin Yi turned his head away and glanced at him blankly. He didn't want to drink anymore. Later, he would discuss the money-making plan with him while the iron was hot. How could drinking cause trouble?
"Be good, eat some food too."
"..."
Lin Yi took a look at the dishes on the table, and it seemed that they were not what he usually eats.
She suddenly felt that eating was like opening a blind box. For safety reasons, she only ate the plate of plum blossom cakes closest to her.
Ye Wan pretended not to see anything.
If she could marry Qin Shuihan, she would definitely be more favored than Lin Yi.
That question must be asked today!
"Prince Han, Princess Han, Wan'er would like to toast you and wish you a happy marriage for a hundred years."
Ye Wan stood up and raised her wine glass to them. The two of them were slightly startled, but before they could reply, Ye Wan covered her mouth with her sleeves and drank it all in one gulp.
Qin Shuihan had no choice but to drink all the wine in the cup.
He saw Lin Yi staring helplessly at the wine glass in front of him, and immediately took it into his hands.
"Yiyi is not a good drinker, so I drank her glass of wine for her. Thank you, Miss Ye."
Lin Yi looked at the empty cup in front of him and was speechless for a moment.
How come I am not very good at drinking? I am obviously holding back the drink just to talk about business, okay?
But at this time, she could only cooperate awkwardly.
"Sorry, I drank too much and am not very strong...Thank you, Miss Ye..."
Seeing this scene, Ye Wan could no longer deceive herself.
She felt like her heart was cut open again.
drink wine!
Get drunk and then rest!
Ye Wan sat down and drank two glasses in a row. Just as she filled the third glass, Ye Ziming grabbed her glass.
"Wan'er, it's getting late. We can't disturb King Han anymore. We're ready to leave."
With that said, Ye Ziming stood up and prepared to leave.
Ye Wan met the raised corners of his mouth and his cold expression, knowing that her brother was angry.
But she hasn't said what's in her heart yet, she doesn't want to leave yet!
Ye Wan bit her lip and looked away at Qin Shuihan.
Qin Shuihan looked at her with confusion. What else did Miss Ye family feel dissatisfied about?
Why is it so difficult to do!
"King Han, Wan'er has always been pleased with you. Will Prince Han be willing to marry me?"
Ye Wan felt as if a heavy weight had been lifted off her chest, and she suddenly felt that light was right in front of her.
She is the daughter of the Ye family, but she is willing to put aside her identity and the reserve of a woman to confess her love to him.
Looking at Qin Shuihan's dull expression, she felt a little scared again.
She was too afraid of being rejected by Qin Shuihan, so she lowered her head and said, "Wan'er is willing to be the concubine if she doesn't compete with Sister Lin."
The air seemed to freeze.
Lin Yi played with the empty cup in her hand. She was not surprised by Ye Wan's words. After all, she had no right to prevent others from liking Qin Shuihan.
However, I am not my sister. I am twenty-two years old, so I should call her my sister.
But somehow, Lin Yi felt her heart twitching violently when she confessed her love in front of him.
Ye Ziming chuckled to himself, this silly sister still confessed her love.
Qin Shuihan didn't like his sister, but it might not necessarily be a bad thing if he could let her go.
He glanced at Lin Yi out of the corner of his eye and saw her lowered eyes with a faint smile on her lips.
I didn't expect that she could be so calm.
Sure enough, from any point of view, her sister is not as good as her.
Qin Shuihan finally reacted.
He frowned and rejected her without any hesitation.
"Thank you Miss Ye for your love for me. I only need one person to depend on for this life, and I will never marry another woman. I'm sorry."
Ye Wan looked at him in disbelief.
He still has that handsome face that haunts everyone, why would he say such cruel words!
How could I not be worthy of him? !
And that "sorry" didn't contain any regret at all.
It turns out that this is heart-breaking sadness!
Ye Wan's tears fell down.
She held onto the table and tried not to cry.
Qin Shuihan was confused. He had never done anything to her, so why did he look like a heartless man?
He looked at Lin Yi, but unfortunately Lin Yi kept her head lowered and could not see her expression at all.
Ye Ziming walked to Ye Wan and supported her. She had never been so wronged since she was a child.
It's a pity that it's a matter of love, so why feel wronged?
There is nothing but love without being able to be happy with two emotions.
"Prince Han, Princess Han, my roommate drank too much. It's really rude today. Let's take our leave now."
Ye Ziming bowed and left Prince Han's Mansion with Ye Wan on his arm.
