At this time, Chang'an City, Dongshi, Ximeng Tower.
Qin Ming led a group of people and followed shopkeeper Guo to the private room. After knocking on the door, Qin Ming and his party entered the private room.
As soon as Qin Ming entered the elegant room, he heard a soft voice saying:
"Brother Qin Ming."
Qin Ming looked around and saw Si Zi, wearing a pink down jacket and a bun, running towards him.
When Qin Ming met Si Zi for the first time, he liked the little princess very much.
Not only does she look sweet and cute, but she also particularly likes all kinds of delicacies in Qin Mansion, so Qin Ming is deeply impressed by her.
Seeing her running towards him, Qin Ming didn't bother to say hello to everyone in the room.
He hurriedly knelt down, held the little glutinous rice dumpling in his arms, smiled and kissed her little face, and said:
"Persimmon, I haven't seen you for so long, do you miss my brother?"
After many days, Sizi finally met this brother who had a lot of delicious food in his house, and he was very happy.
She put her little hand on Qin Ming's shoulder. After hearing Qin Ming's question, she nodded vigorously and said:
"Well, Sizi misses brother Qin Ming very much."
Then, she saw Xiao Qingwan next to Qin Ming, and her eyes suddenly lit up.
She remembered Qingwan. Sister Wan'er made many of the delicious food last time, so she waved her little hand towards Qingwan and said:
"Sister Wan'er."
Qingwan smiled and nodded towards Sizi.
While Qingwan was greeting Sizi, Qin Ming's eyes swept across the private room and found that not only Li Shimin and Prince Hejian were there, but also Queen Changsun.
Other than that, it was the same guard I had seen before.
Qin Ming hurried forward, put down Sizi in his arms, saluted several people in turn:
"My nephew has met Uncle Li, Aunt Li, and Uncle Li."
After everyone greeted him, Qin Ming hugged Sizi and sat on the chair, and then asked Qingwan to put the pastries brought from the mansion in front of everyone's tables.
He picked up a piece and handed it to Sizi's hand, seeing that she was very happy eating it. Then he said to Changsun:
"Aunt, my nephew heard from my beautiful sister a few days ago that you are not feeling well. Are you feeling better these days?"
Queen Changsun recently took ginseng soup every two days, so her body recovered quickly.
Thinking that thanks to Qin Ming, he could recover so quickly, and he hadn't seen Qin Ming for a long time, he followed him to Ximeng Tower.
Listening to Qin Ming's words, she smiled and nodded:
"Well, it's much better now. This time, I have to thank my nephew for the ginseng he gave me earlier, so that my aunt can get better so quickly."
These days, Li Shimin also drank ginseng chicken soup several times, and it felt really good.
Especially after drinking it several times in a row, Li Shimin felt that his energy was much stronger than before.
At this time, when he heard Changsun mentioning ginseng, he couldn't help but interjected:
"By the way, nephew, I wonder where this ginseng comes from? Why hasn't my uncle seen it before?"
Although Prince Hejian didn't know what ginseng was, he knew from the gleaming look in his majesty's eyes when he mentioned ginseng just now that this ginseng must be a good thing, so he also looked at Qin Ming.
Qin Ming did not expect that Li Shimin would be interested in ginseng. He thought about it and said:
"I heard from the person who sold ginseng to my nephew that they are from Liaodong, located near the northern border of Goguryeo. There is a mountain there that is covered with ice and snow all year round. My nephew doesn't know if there is any record of this mountain in the Tang Dynasty. I will tell you for the time being. Call it Changbai Mountain.”
Li Shimin was thoughtful when he heard this and nodded.
Qin Ming estimated that the ginseng he gave away last time might have been eaten by his eldest grandson, so he said to Qingwan and Zijun:
"Qingwan, go to the carriage and get the spare ginseng in the carriage, and bring some soap up."
"Zijun, please go to the building to check the accounts first."
The two women nodded obediently and took Mou Tu out.
Turning his head, Qin Ming saw Li Shimin looking at him with ambiguous eyes.
It seems to be saying, you can do it, kid. I haven’t seen you for a few days, but there is a beautiful maid next to you.
Qin Ming coughed awkwardly.
The eldest grandson had already figured out his husband's words and deeds. When he saw his husband teasing the younger generation with his eyes, he secretly poked Li Shimin with his hand.
Only then did Li Shimin sit upright.
Qin Ming looked at his nose and heart, pretending that he had not seen this scene, he changed the subject and looked at Queen Changsun and said:
"Aunt Li, isn't today the day for auditing the accounts? Has the person who audited the accounts in your house arrived?"
The eldest grandson smiled and said:
"Well, Li Zhi and Princess Danyang have already taken the people in the house to the accounting office, and they will probably be back in a while."
When Qin Ming heard about Princess Danyang, the fiery red figure with a whip in his hand automatically appeared in his mind, and he was slightly stunned.
At this time, King Hejian, who had been silent, heard the queen mention her daughter.
An idea flashed in his head, he only had one legitimate daughter, and she had been pampered since she was a child.
She is already fourteen years old this year. In other noble families, she would have been engaged at this age long ago.
But her daughter has liked to dance with knives and guns since she was a child, and doesn't like female celebrities.
Moreover, her temperament followed that of her mother and concubine, and she was a bit shrewd, so no one came to propose marriage.
Seeing that the Chinese New Year will be in one month, Xianzhi will be fifteen years old next year, but the prince and princess of Hejian County are very anxious.
I think I am a princess and my daughter is a princess. What if no one proposes marriage next year?
He suddenly thought that Qin Ming, this kid, didn't seem to be engaged yet.
Moreover, given the importance His Majesty attaches to Qin Ming, and his current relationship with Lu Guogong and others, there will definitely be a bright future in the future.
The most important thing is that this guy is both good at making money and very talented. He is a perfect match for his precious daughter.
Thinking of this, he looked at Qin Ming with a smile and said:
"My nephew, you haven't met my little girl yet, have you? She is one year younger than your nephew. Not only is she beautiful, she is also smart and well-educated since she was a child. Uncle will introduce you to her later."
Qin Ming couldn't help but feel ashamed when he heard this, and said in his heart, do you believe this?
The red figure came to mind again.
Which well-educated girl likes to play with a whip?
However, he thought about it and said:
"My nephew, I had the honor to meet the princess once in a teahouse a few days ago. The princess is indeed beautiful and fragrant."
Li Xiaogong was very happy when he heard this, so he continued:
"What does your good nephew think of your little girl?"
When Li Shimin and Zhang Sun heard Li Xiaogong's words, they looked at each other, and then turned their attention to Qin Ming.
Listening to this, Qin Ming felt that this line seemed inexplicably familiar.
After thinking about it, I realized that this kind of plot often appears in movies and TV dramas.
He also came to his senses a little bit. Looking at the attitude of Prince Hejian, did he want to betroth his daughter to me?
Can I say no? If she entered the mansion, with her temperament, wouldn't the Qin mansion be thrown into a tailspin by her?
Just when he was thinking about how to answer the call, the door was pushed open, and a fiery red figure rushed into the room, followed by Li Lizhi, Yue Chan and others.
When Princess Danyang entered the door, she glared at Prince Hejian angrily and shouted:
"Father!"
They had just arrived outside the door and heard their father mentioning themselves. They originally wanted to hear what Qin Ming said about themselves, but when their father's next words came out, how could she not understand what his father meant.
So he quickly opened the door and came in to interrupt the conversation.
Seeing that her father no longer wanted to continue this topic, Princess Danyang bowed to Li Shimin and her eldest grandson and said:
"I've met my uncle and aunt."
The expressions of Li Lizhi and others were also a little unnatural. After the two women greeted each other, they sat down one after another.
But after the two women sat down, they couldn't help but glance at Qin Ming secretly.
I don't know if it was an illusion, but Qin Ming actually saw a hint of shyness and shyness in Princess Danyang's eyes.
