In the fifth year of Zhenguan, on the third day of the twelfth lunar month, Xu Shi, Qinjiazhuang, Lantian County.
After telling today's story, Qin Ming went back to the room and lay down, thinking about what happened these days, and always felt that it was all so unreal.
Why did he get engaged to the princess and didn’t know what Xiyao’s title was? In the original history, there was no name, as long as she was not Princess Gaoyang.
Thinking of this, he decided that if he had the chance, he would definitely ask Cheng Chumo about his future wife's title.
Thinking about it, just when Qin Ming was about to fall asleep, a warm body came under the quilt.
Qin Ming drowsily put his arms around her slim waist and hugged her into his arms.
Qin Ming has experienced this kind of thing many times, and he knew from the feeling on his hand that the person coming was Wan'er.
Qin Ming skillfully touched Wan'er's leg, leaned down and kissed her.
Lip parting for a long time
Qin Ming looked at the little girl in his arms under the moonlight and said:
"Wan'er, didn't you just go back to Qingxinyuan? Why are you back again?"
Xiao Qingwan lay on Qin Ming's chest, took a breath and said:
"Sir, if you marry Miss Li's family in the future, will you not want Wan'er?"
Hearing this, Qin Ming straightened up with Qingwan in his arms, then looked at her and said:
"Wan'er is so kind, how could the young master be willing to leave you? Don't worry, I will always be with you in this life."
Qingwan looked at Qin Ming's serious expression, nodded and said:
"Well, okay, Wan'er believes in the young master."
Qin Ming hugged Qingwan, moved back and leaned on the bed, then pulled the quilt up for Qingwan and said:
"Actually, these days I often wonder if our life would have been simpler if I hadn't met Mr. Li and the others. We would go for a run every morning, and take you and Ada to the river to fish after dinner. Let's go for an outing together in the spring. ...Just stay in the house to enjoy the coolness in summer...Autumn..."
Qin Ming held Qingwan in his arms and talked to himself for a long time, until he found that Qingwan in his arms had fallen asleep.
Seeing the smile on the girl's lips, he also smiled.
...
In the fifth year of Zhenguan, on the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, Chang'an City of the Tang Dynasty happened.
As the capital of the Tang Dynasty, Chang'an City naturally has no shortage of topics for people to discuss, but one topic has become particularly popular recently, surpassing the popularity of Ximeng Tower.
This topic is about the newly opened liquor store in Dongshi. It is said that it is the property of Lu Guogong's family, because someone discovered that this wine shop sells the same kind of spirits that only sold a hundred jars a day in Lu Guogong's wine shop before.
Moreover, this spirit has a very strange name called Erguotou. The wine is indeed a good wine, and everyone who has drunk it praises it.
It's just that this wine only sells two thousand jars every day, no more.
Therefore, there will be a long queue in front of the wine shop early every morning.
It can be said that the supply exceeds the demand, and many people who can't buy it in line are even willing to pay more to buy it.
This undoubtedly provides some people in Chang'an with an additional way to make money. As long as they can queue up to buy wine in the morning, there will soon be people queuing up to buy it at a higher price, and dozens or hundreds of coins will be exchanged and they will be available immediately.
There are even rumors that a Hu businessman in the West Market clearly marked the price in front of his store and was willing to buy Erguotou Liquor at twice the price, that is, two dollars per jar.
In addition to the small whirlwind that Erguotou blew in Chang'an, there was also a strong wind coming from the circle of ladies in Chang'an City.
Recently, there is a strange thing called soap being circulated everywhere in the circles of ladies.
It is said that after bathing with this soap, not only the body will be refreshed, but the skin will also be more delicate and smooth. The latest attraction is the legend that after bathing with this soap, the body will be scented with flowers, which is better than using a sachet.
After this incident spread in the circle of ladies, many people expressed disbelief at first, until someone confirmed a few days ago that the ladies in the palace and Mrs. Cui of Lu Guogong's mansion had seen it and experienced it personally.
The circle of ladies in Chang'an City went crazy instantly. Naturally, they did not dare to go to the palace to inquire about the empress.
As a result, these people ran towards Cheng Mansion in twos and threes. This has also led to the recent surge in popularity of Mrs. Cui in Chang'an City, and there is an endless stream of noble ladies visiting her every day.
But Mrs. Cui, who knew the origin of the soap, naturally knew that she could not agree to this matter casually. She could only evade it by saying that this thing was more expensive and she didn't have much, so it was a gift from a noble person.
Of course, with so many people coming to the door, Mrs. Cui couldn't just use this excuse to evade. In the end, he could only let his son Cheng Chumo go to the Qin Mansion and ask Qin Ming for a few boxes, which temporarily calmed the ladies who were about to go berserk.
In the fifth year of Zhenguan, on the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, it was Sishi in Chang'an City, Ximeng Tower, Tang Dynasty.
In the private room on the second floor, Princess Changle and Princess Danyang were sitting on chairs drinking tea, but both of them seemed a little absent-minded, as if they were waiting for someone.
Princess Changle had received the arithmetic book written by Qin Ming from her eldest grandson a few days ago. After this period of study, she had to marvel at Qin Ming's talent and ability.
Of course, when she was reading, there were many things she didn't understand or didn't understand, but she didn't write to Qin Ming. Instead, she asked Xiao Tao and Xiao Xi, the two maids Qin Ming sent to the palace, to ask.
Therefore, her arithmetic skills have improved rapidly in the past few days.
Moreover, she checked today's accounts herself, but when she saw the latest accounts in the teahouse, she couldn't help but take a deep look at the accounting maid named Xiaoqing.
She couldn't help but feel a little melancholy. She didn't expect that someone randomly sent by the Qin Mansion could actually make the accounts so clear, it could be said that it was clear at a glance.
This made her feel even more uncomfortable.
Regardless of her identity, she felt that she was indeed not worthy of Qin Ming. Maybe her cousin was the most suitable for her.
While Princess Changle was thinking wildly, the door was pushed open.
Princess Changle and Princess Danyang stood up immediately, but sat down a little disappointed when they saw only two figures coming in.
The lost look in the two women's eyes fell on Yang Zijun. She smiled and saw that there were only them and a few maids in the room, so she walked to a chair and sat down. Then she looked up at Li Lizhi and Li Xianzhi and said:
"I've just checked the accounts and there's nothing wrong with them. What about you?"
Prince Danyang instantly became angry when she heard this. She stood up and glared at Yang Zijun, who was wearing fiery red clothes like herself and said:
"You servant girl, why are you so ignorant of etiquette? Don't you know how to salute when you meet me?"
Yang Zijun raised his eyebrows, glanced at Princess Danyang and said calmly:
"I'm here to check the accounts today. The master has many things to do, so I don't have time to argue with you. The accounts here have been reconciled, and I still have to go to the wine shop and vegetable shop."
"you..."
Upon seeing this, Princess Changle quickly stood up and grabbed Princess Danyang.
Princess Danyang was so angry that she sat on the chair.
After Changle comforted his cousin, he turned to Yang Zijun and said:
"We have checked the accounts and there are no problems."
Yang Zijun nodded when he heard this and said:
"In that case, I'll leave first."
After Yang Zijun was about to take Mou Tu out, Princess Changle saw this and asked quickly:
"Brother Qin Ming, didn't you come today?"
"My young master has something to do and can't come. Oh, by the way, my young master said that during the Chinese New Year next month, he will come over again on the seventh day of the lunar month to check the accounts and settle the income."
After saying that, he took Mou Tu with him and left the private room without looking back.
Princess Danyang looked at Yang Zijun's leaving back and bit her, as if she wanted to pounce on her and bite her. I really don’t know what’s so impressive about a maid like her.
He stood up and walked to Li Lizhi and said:
"Li Zhi, look at her arrogant look, it makes people angry just by looking at her."
Li Lizhi pulled Danyang's sleeve helplessly and said:
"Okay, cousin, you are the princess, why bother with her."
