Qin Ming was completely confused by Cheng Chumo's operation.
He quickly grabbed Cheng Chu and said silently:
"Brother Cheng, I had planned to visit you at home in the afternoon."
"But can you tell me first, brother, why did Duke Lu come to me? How did Duke Lu know about me?"
Cheng Chumo patted his head when he heard this and said:
"Hey, I blame my brother for not explaining it clearly. Come on, let's go aside first, and I'll tell you the matter in detail."
After speaking, the two came to the roadside.
Cheng Chumo told the story that after returning home that day, Duke Lu drank Qin Ming's wine and thought it was good.
I want to use my own brewery to make this kind of wine in partnership with him.
And Cheng Chumo told him about going to Zhuangzi outside the city every day to find him.
After hearing this, Qin Ming let out a long breath and thought to himself, as long as you don't have other hobbies.
And it would be good if he could do business with Lu Guogong. In the future, he would be equivalent to having an extra backer.
So he said to Cheng Chumo, who was looking forward to it:
"So that's it. My little brother, I am definitely happy to do business with Duke Lu's Mansion."
"In that case, Brother Cheng, you might as well go back to Duke Lu's mansion first."
"Brother, I will finish my personal matters."
"I will visit my house in the afternoon with gifts.
Cheng Chumo was unhappy when he heard this.
If Qin Ming, this kid, slipped away from under his nose, he would probably have to be hung up and beaten by his father again when he went back.
He firmly held Qin Ming's hand and said:
"Brother Qin, since you still have something important to do, I'll go do it with you first. I'll wait aside and won't disturb you."
"When you finish your work, I will take you back home with me."
Qin Ming guessed that Cheng Chumo was probably worried that he would break the appointment.
After thinking about it, if it doesn't work for a while, you can ask Cheng Chumo to wait for you at the vegetable shop, and ask him to help take care of the business of the shop.
After all, Young Master Cheng's name should be very useful in Chang'an City, otherwise the second son of the eldest son's family would not be afraid of him.
"In that case, then Brother Cheng, please accompany me to Dongshi."
"Brother, I'm over there. I've opened a new shop. You can wait for me in the shop soon. When I finish my work, I'll go to the shop to find you."
When Cheng Chumo heard Qin Ming's words, the stone in his heart fell to the ground.
After saying that, the two of them got on Qin Ming's carriage.
After the two sat down facing each other.
Only then did Cheng Chumo realize that Qin Ming's clothes were of the same style as His Majesty's clothes in the palace.
It's just that Qin Ming's clothes are light blue, while His Majesty's clothes are darker.
No wonder I just thought that I had seen Qin Ming's outfit somewhere before.
Because he is a noble son, he has been on duty as the Jinwu Guard in the palace since the year before last, responsible for the security of the palace.
The day before yesterday when he was on duty at the Manlu Hall, he had seen His Majesty wearing the treasured garment that was rumored to be popular in the palace.
(Brother Qin’s piece, isn’t it also a treasure?)
Thinking of this, Cheng Chumo pointed to Qin Ming's clothes and said:
"Brother Qin, are your clothes very light and warm?"
Qin Ming nodded and said:
"Huh? Brother Cheng, how do you know?"
When Cheng Chumo saw him nodding, he said mysteriously:
"I just discovered that the style of your clothes is exactly the same as His Majesty's precious clothes."
Qin Ming was confused when he heard this.
"Precious clothes? What treasure clothes?"
Cheng Chumo saw Qin Ming's confused expression, and he secretly wondered if he had seen it wrong.
But this did not affect him at all. He told Qin Ming the gossip in the palace.
So he said mysteriously:
"Now the word has spread in the palace that His Majesty and the Queen met an accomplished man outside the palace."
"That accomplished person is here to pray for His Majesty and the Queen."
"I spent countless treasures of heaven and earth, and at the expense of my many years of cultivation, to refine several pieces of treasure clothing for Your Majesty and the Queen."
"It is said that these precious clothes are not only light and thin, but also will never be touched by the cold after wearing them."
"In addition, I also heard that the treasured garment can automatically protect the owner when he is in danger."
"Now in the palace, apart from Your Majesty and the Queen, there are only a few princesses who are the Queen's direct descendants. They have such precious clothes, and not even His Highness the Crown Prince."
"When I was on duty in the palace, I saw the dark blue treasured garment that His Majesty wore. It looked the same as yours, but the color was slightly different."
"Brother Qin, this piece of yours was also made by an expert?"
Cheng Chumo was talking and gesticulating with great joy.
But at this moment, Qin Ming's scalp was numb and he had goosebumps all over his body.
If Li Er's clothes were just the same style as hers, it would be explainable. After all, Yuechan had just brought back the dragon-embroidered down jacket a few days ago.
However, it doesn’t make sense if the Queen and several princesses are all wearing down jackets.
No matter how shameless Li Er is, he can't possibly steal the clothes of Uncle Li's family, right?
Moreover, Uncle Li and Aunt Li have a deep love for each other.
He can't give Aunt Li's clothes to the Queen.
Even if you want to give it away, you can tell yourself that when you make that dragon robe, you can just make a few more.
There is only one truth, Uncle Li is the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin.
Aunt Li should be Empress Changsun.
Qin Ming kept replaying the moments with Uncle Li and Aunt Li in his mind.
In the previous tea business, he said that there was no one in the court and he could not do it casually. Uncle Li said that he knew the prince of Hejian County.
There was also the aura of a superior person that he inadvertently revealed in Uncle Li.
Aunt Li's noble and dignified temperament and concern for the resettlement methods of the refugees.
Qin Ming also thought at that time that a relative of the emperor like Uncle Li should not be just a simple grain merchant, but might be a court official or a county prince.
But he never expected that Uncle Li turned out to be Emperor Taizong Li Shimin, His Majesty Li Er, known as the Khan of Heaven.
And that old house? Couldn't he be Fang Xuanling, the famous Prime Minister of the Tang Dynasty?
But which girls are these princesses?
I know the princesses of the Tang Dynasty during the Zhenguan period, including Princess Wencheng and Princess Gaoyang.
I don’t know if they are among the three.
Have I ever said before, what not to say?
I think should not be?
Does it count to say that Li Shimin is a good wife in front of Emperor Taizong?
Waiting online, I'm in a hurry.
Damn it, I won’t be settled by Qiu Hou.
While Qin Ming was brainstorming.
Cheng Chumo looked at Qin Ming, who was sweating on his forehead, and felt even more envious.
I thought to myself, this treasured garment is indeed magical. Can it make people sweat so much when wearing it in the winter?
Cheng Chumo pushed Qin Ming, bringing him back from the brainstorm to reality.
Qin Ming was stunned for a moment, then realized that in this situation, it was better to stabilize Cheng Chumo first.
This down jacket is rumored to be like this.
It seems that when I arrive in Dongshi soon, I will have to change into other clothes before I can go to Cheng Mansion.
Also, I will try my best to be with Uncle Li in the future.
No, it's Li Er.
Try to keep a certain distance from Li Er and don't let him know that you have been exposed.
If he tries to lure me into his group, my small body will not be able to resist it.
It's not easy to be an official in the Tang Dynasty, and I don't understand the twists and turns of the officialdom. I guess I will have to go to jail within a few days of entering the court.
What is more urgent now is to stabilize Cheng Chumo in front of him.
I'll think about Li Er's method later.
Qin Ming stood up and sat next to Cheng Chumo and whispered:
"This little brother's clothes are made at home, so they are only a little warmer than ordinary clothes."
"As for the one Brother Cheng said looks similar to His Majesty's, it might just be a coincidence."
"But it's definitely not comparable to the precious clothes of His Majesty and the Queen."
"But brother, I still have to thank Brother Cheng for reminding me. Since these clothes are more similar to His Majesty's, I don't dare to wear this kind of clothes anymore, so as not to cause trouble."
"When I heard what Brother Cheng said just now, I was almost scared to death. Now my back is covered in cold sweat."
Cheng Chumo suddenly felt enlightened when he heard this. He thought Brother Qin was sweating because his precious clothes were too warm.
However, he still looked at Qin Ming suspiciously and asked:
"Is it really not a gift from an expert?"
Qin Ming pretended to be helpless and nodded, then looked at Cheng Chumo with great solemnity and said:
"It's really not, it must be a coincidence."
After speaking, Qin Ming said solemnly:
"Brother Cheng, I have something to ask of you. I hope Brother Cheng can agree."
Cheng Chumo saw this and said seriously:
"Brother Qin, you said, as long as the eldest brother can do it, I will never refuse."
"I hope that Brother Cheng will not mention the fact that my clothes are similar to His Majesty's clothes to others in the future. I owe Brother Cheng a favor, and I hope that Brother Cheng can agree to this."
Cheng Chumo heard this and knew that this matter could not be spread outside, so he nodded and said:
"Don't worry, I won't talk nonsense."
Seeing that Cheng Chumo had been fooled for the time being, Qin Ming felt a little relieved.
