Daqin: I was overheard by Zulong

Chapter 297 Xun Zheng's Shock
"This..." Xun Miaoke hesitated for a moment, but still told the truth, "It's my great-grandfather, and I ask His Highness the Crown Prince to grant it!"

When Zhao Yi heard the words, he suddenly found it interesting, but he didn't expect that he was the eldest of the third house of the Xun family, and Xun Zheng fell in love with eating betel nuts and cigarettes.

"Your great-grandfather's taste is really unique." Zhao Yi stared at Xun Miao generously and said ridiculously: "How can a beautiful woman refuse to accept it? Come here, take twenty cigarettes and fifty betel nuts." come over."

Soon, someone got an order and hurried forward across the courtyard. Seeing this, Xun Miao suddenly thanked Zhao Yi a thousand times.

She originally thought that Zhao Yi was not easy to talk to, but she did not expect that such a turn of events would come to her.

"His Royal Highness, thank you so much, this, how much is it, I will pay..." Xun Miaoke lost her composure.

Zhao Yi waved his hand and stopped Xun Miaoke, "If you don't have money, if you don't thank you, let's talk about it later. You are from the third room of Xun's family. In that case, there is something that the prince will return to you." I have to ask you to do it."

Xun Miaoke heard the words, her heart skipped a beat for no reason, on the surface she still lowered her eyebrows and cupped her hands, "I don't know what the crown prince has ordered?"

"To the east of Xianyang, Gaonu in Dingyang is the real estate of your Xun family, right? The prince is interested in that place." Zhao Yi said straight to the point.

Gao Nu is only a county, but it is a large county with a vast territory, but it has not been developed in the hands of the third house of the Xun family.

However, Zhao Yi knew that there was a treasure in Gao Nu's underground. He forgot the specific treasure, but he knew such a place.

But knowing that Gao Nu is the site of the third house of the Xun family, Zhao Yi has been thinking about how to talk to the Xun family and bring this land over. He took the initiative to come to the door.

"His Royal Highness wants to borrow it to do it..." Xun Miaoke tentatively asked, she was a little confused about the man in front of her.

"The prince never likes to use other people's things. If he likes it, he wants to make it his own." Zhao Yi interrupted Xun Miaoke directly, with a rather aggressive tone, which made Xun Miaoke very uncomfortable.

"Miao Ke can't decide this matter, I have to go back and ask my great-grandfather, I don't know the prince..." Xun Miaoke was a little nervous, and asked Zhao Yi again in a negotiating tone, for fear of offending the other party.

At this time, the servants came with betel nuts and cigarettes. After hearing Xun Miaoke's words, Zhao Yi rushed to the servants and waved his hand, "Take the things back, Jiangnu, see off the guest for Gu!"

Zhao Yi was so straightforward, he pretended not to give Xun Miaoke a chance to speak, as if he was angry.

"His Royal Highness..." Seeing the situation, Xun Miao was in a hurry. She didn't want to lose the opportunity to climb Zhao Yi's big tree just because of a piece of land, so she hurriedly added: "Please give Miaoke some time." !"

"Miaoke will try my best to persuade my great-grandfather to give up this piece of land and give it to His Highness the Crown Prince, but please His Highness the Crown Prince can give Miaoke support. My great-grandfather has special affection for His Highness's cigarettes and betel nuts. bell!"

Xun Miaoke's words were puns, and Zhao Yi smiled faintly after listening to them, "Then, I'll leave everything to Miss Xun."

When Xun Miaoke returned to the Xun Mansion, he brought back a beautiful wooden box, and Xun Zheng couldn't help being curious when he saw it.

"Girl, where have you been this day? Why didn't you tell Grandpa? Where did you make such a novelty and put it in such a beautiful wooden box?"

Xun Miaoke put the wooden box on the desk, and then slowly opened one of the compartments, "Grandpa, what do you think this is?"

Xun Zheng glanced at the wooden box curiously. He looked careless at first, but after looking at it, his eyes could no longer move.

"Cigarettes! Betel nuts! So many? My God, Miaoke, where did you get so many cigarettes and betel nuts, oh, really, my God..."

Xun Zheng yelled loudly, and suddenly the steward of the Xun Mansion looked sideways. Seeing that Xun Miaoke brought back dozens of cigarettes and almost the same amount of betel nuts for Xun Zheng, his eyes straightened.

"Miss, where did you get so many cigarettes and betel nuts? I almost ran all over Xianyang City and couldn't find them. So many cigarettes and betel nuts would cost at least a thousand dollars to buy."

"My God, is it so expensive?" Xun Zheng was taken aback when he heard the words.

The butler nodded repeatedly, "My lord, you don't know something. Nowadays, the supply of cigarettes and betel nuts is limited every day. The princes, nobles, and dignitaries guard the door of the Daqin Tobacco and Alcohol Center every day. Things are sold out."

"I wait for ordinary people to buy this thing, but they can't even get in the door. This thing is now in Xianyang City, and it has sold for a hundred gold cigarettes on the black market, and even sold 150 gold betel nuts!"

"What?" Xun Zheng's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief, and he turned to look at Xun Miaoke, "Girl, I didn't expect you to be so capable now, and you managed to do something that these bastards couldn't do. , have you seen Meng Jiangnu and the prince?"

"Exactly, Grandpa, these are all given to you by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Xun Miaoke said with a coquettish smile, "And this fruit, called pineapple, is a new fruit from the Western Regions. It's delicious, too. His Royal Highness asked me to bring it back for you to taste."

"What? The prince also gave you fruit?" Xun Zheng and the housekeeper stared at each other, even more shocked.

They wanted to see the prince, but there was no way to do it, and Xun Miao not only saw it, but also asked the prince to give him cigarettes and fruits. What does His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin want to do?
"Girl, between you and the prince..." Xun Zheng couldn't help but think wrongly, feeling an inexplicable sense of crisis.

"Grandpa!" Xun Miaoke yelled angrily, "What are you talking about? The Crown Prince and I are innocent, and I think you may have prejudice against His Highness, but His Highness is actually a very talkative person."

"What?" Xun Zheng was even more flustered, he didn't expect to hear such words from Xun Miaoke's mouth, his sense of crisis became stronger.

"Son, you have to remember that Zhao Yi is not a thing. The things he researched are all used to deal with our family, so you can't be deceived by his superficial skills!"

"Now His Royal Highness the Great Qin Crown Prince is the public enemy of our family, you must not be bewitched by him!"

Hearing this, Xun Miaoke immediately shook his head and said: "Grandpa, have you really misunderstood His Royal Highness? The things His Royal Highness studies are only closely related to life. For example, aren't these betel nuts and cigarettes your favorite?"

"And this pineapple is also a new fruit researched by His Royal Highness. It is very delicious. Try it and see if I am right!"

As he said that, Xun Miaoke pulled out another wooden box, took a pineapple that had already been cut in it, and put a piece of it into Xun Zheng's mouth with a wooden fork.
