Mrs. Qin Xiangguo

017

In the Qin Palace in Xianyang, Qin Wangji's personal servant slowly walked into the inner hall.

"Kings."

The waiter said softly, "Master Zi Chu wants to come to greet you."

Begging to meet, not in the court, but in the inner hall.It is enough to see that this is to meet as grandparents rather than monarchs and ministers.Qin Wangji has more than [-] grandchildren, and not all of them are lucky enough to have the face for him to meet in person.

I would like to see Zi Chu because the drawings of stirrups, saddles and horseshoes built such a heavy cavalry army for Qin, which not only contributed to Qin, but also made Ying Zichu fall into the eyes of King Qin.

Qin Wangji got up from the couch: "Then call him in."

Waiter: "Yes."

After a long time, the servant led Ying Zichu in.

Ying Zichu is only in his twenties this year, and he is still a clean young man.He was handsome, quite elegant, and looked easy to talk to.Although this appearance is different from the "Qin people" in the eyes of the world, it is very pleasing to the elders.

"Zi Chu pays homage to the king." Ying Zichu saluted.

"no."

Qin Wangji waved his hand: "We are all from our own family, and only you and me, why is it so formal?"

Ying Zichu stood up, "Thank you, grandfather."

After saluting and getting up together, the address was changed.This made Qin Wangji burst into laughter immediately.

Seeing that the monarch was in a good mood, the servant took the opportunity to say: "I heard that Mr. Chu brought a gift and wanted to give it to the king. Mr. Chu, why don't you show it to the king?"

Ying Zichu immediately took the steps handed by the waiter.

"Zi Chu brought grandfather a jug of wine." After speaking, he ordered his servants to bring the wine up: "Grandpa, please taste it."

Along with the wine, there is also a whole set of wine vessels.Seeing that Zi Chu was well prepared, Qin Wangji didn't say much, but was supported by his attendant to get up and took the wine vessel.

The old King Qin had no expression at all, but when the clear liquid was served in front of him, the mellow aroma of wine hit his face.

Qindi is adjacent to Rongdi, so Qinjiu is famous as "strong wine", but the wine in front of it smells even stronger than Qinjiu.

When the wine entered his throat, the King of Qin couldn't help sighing: "What a strong wine!"

Ying Zichu smiled and said, "If grandfather likes it, Zichu still has it."

Qin Wangji: "When did my Qin land produce such strong wine, why didn't I know?"

Yingzi Chu bowed his head and saluted: "Back to grandfather, this is Qin wine, and it's not Qin wine."

"Oh?"

"The name of this wine is 'Zhengjiu', which was invented by Mrs. Meng Kai." Ying Zichu explained, "Although Mrs. Meng Wei is from Zhao, she has a heart for Qin, so she said that Shaojiu is Qin wine. Not too much."

King Qin certainly remembered "Mrs. Meng Wei".

If it wasn't for her drawings, Lu Buwei and Ying Zichu would never have had the chance to step into the Qin court and meet the King of Qin.

"Mrs. Meng Wei, although she is a woman, she is a genius." Qin Wangji nodded: "You should listen to the teachings of your husband and wife."

"Yes."

"Did Mrs. Meng Wei send you steamed wine after all the things she sent?"

"This……"

When the waiter heard the words, he quickly joked: "Your Majesty, there is no one who asks for things."

Meeting in the inner hall is not a formal occasion.King Qin was in a good mood, so he thought of joking: "The widow is getting old, so I want to discuss something new with my grandson, so what's the matter?"

Ying Zichu hurriedly said: "Actually, Mrs. Meng Kai sent someone to Qin this time, and brought something with her, but it was not a present, uh..."

King Qin: "But it doesn't matter."

Ying Zichu made it difficult: "It's a letter from your family."

King Qin: "A letter from home?"

Ying Zichu: "My son wrote it to my grandfather, I don't know...if it's appropriate."

In saying that, it means to see King Qin.

Qin Wangji was not angry, but just beckoned: "Since it's your son, why is it inappropriate to say it's a family letter? Let me have a look."

Ying Zichu was overjoyed when he heard the words, and hurriedly took out the carefully folded silk book from his bosom, and presented it to the King of Qin by the attendant.

The silk script unfolded, and the characters that fell into Qin Wangji's sight were large and immature. Although the crooked characters were not very attractive, it could be seen that the writer of the letter was serious about his pen.As for the words, they are also simple and few.

[I, Qin, won a great victory, and Zheng'er was overjoyed.I hope my great-grandfather is in good health, and after Zhao is destroyed, take me home. ]

It can be seen at a glance that the letter is written by the doll, who may have just learned to write.

"well!"

The King of Qin is now in his 70s. Seeing the little boy writing a letter to him, he also looks forward to the day when he can annihilate the State of Zhao.

"As expected of a baby of my country of Qin." Qin Wangji praised: "This vision and heart are just different!"

"Thank you grandpa for your praise!"

"This Zheng'er... how old is he this year?" Qin Wangji asked.

"Four years old this year."

"A four-year-old doll can write with a pen?"

Even King Qin couldn't help being surprised: "He's a smart boy."

After he finished speaking, he glanced at the silk book in his hand again, with a hint of admiration in his eyes: "The writing is still my Qin's prose. He is young, courageous, and intelligent. He is Qin Zhizhao, and he has made great contributions to the country. "

King Qin summoned the eunuch and gave orders in front of Ying Zichu.

"It's very cold in the north of Zhao State. Send some food and clothing to Zheng'er. Also, I can't let my Qin clan's son be bullied in other places. Let...Meng Ao send his cronies over there to help Zheng'er as a guard."

Meng Ao was originally from the state of Qi, but now he is Shangqing of the state of Qin.Let Shangqing send guards there, it is enough to see that this letter really pleases King Qin.

Ying Zichu was very honored and excited, and he saluted again: "Thank you, grandfather!"

Even Ying Zichu himself didn't expect such a harvest!

Zhao Guo sent Zheng'er's letter over, and Ying Zichu felt uneasy: King Qin has more than 20 grandsons, and as for the great-grandson, he can't even count them. What can a letter from Zheng'er do? usefulness?

He didn't want to give it to King Qin, but Mr. Buwei believed that Mrs. Meng Wei would not act rashly. Ying Zichu thought about it and decided to take this risk.

Unexpectedly, a simple letter from home would make King Qin so happy.

Let Meng Ao send guards, does this prove that Agui and Zheng'er will not have to worry about it in Zhao State in the future?

The more Ying Zichu thought about it, the happier he became.

After he happily left, the waiter carefully put away the liquor and family letters, and whispered: "Your Majesty, since you like Mr. Zheng, why don't you let Mr. Zheng come back? It's better for Mr. Zheng to be away than at home. "

Qin Wangji was noncommittal: "You are not as enlightened as a four-year-old child."

Waiter: "This old slave doesn't understand."

"Zi Chu, don't you feel sorry for your son and don't want to let Mr. Zheng return to the country?" Qin Wangji said: "He knows that if his own son does not return to Qin, the people of Qin will owe him a point."

Although King Qin was old, his mind was always clear.

"As for Gongzizheng, why didn't he write in the letter that he wanted to come back, but said that he would pick him up after I destroyed the Zhao Kingdom? Because he also knows that there are young masters with the surname Ying everywhere in Xianyang. There are quite a few of them. But in Zhao State, the hardships he endured, the grievances he suffered, and his return in the future are all the confidence that he can be respected by others."

As he said that, Qin Wangji inevitably began to recall the past.

"Back then when I was in the country of Yan, I wanted nothing and didn't have anything. That's what I thought in my heart." Qin Wangji laughed: "But the widow was twelve or thirteen years old at that time, and Zheng'er is only four years old this year, so he knew With my role in Zhao, Zi Chu has indeed given birth to a smart baby."

"It's all the blessing of our country, Your Majesty." The servant agreed with a smile.

Being able to compare with his past, it can be seen that King Qin really appreciates Ying Zheng.

The King of Qin was very satisfied: "The child is smart, and Mrs. Meng Wei is taking care of her, so I can rest assured. This letter from home must have Mrs. Meng Wei's advice and suggestions."

Waiter: "Mrs. Meng Wei is also a genius."

The King of Qin commented approvingly: "Lv Buwei has a good eye, and he was able to find such a sensible, virtuous and dignified lady in Zhao State. I will tell you that in the future, let the detailed work in Zhao State pay more attention to the movements of Mrs. Meng Wei and Gong Zizheng. Let the people of Qin State really be bullied by Zhao people."

At the same time, Zhao Weizhen, who was called "virtuous and dignified" by the King of Qin, was rolling up his sleeves in his wine shop and carrying wine jars with several servants.

As soon as the shopkeeper of the restaurant entered the backyard, seeing Zhao Weizhen doing it himself, his clothes were covered with ashes, and he was so frightened that his soul would fly away.

"Hey, ma'am, I'm coming, I'm coming!"

The shopkeeper hurriedly took over the wine jar: "Madam, how can I do it myself, as long as you watch the conductor!"

Zhao Weizhen patted the dirt on his hands and body.

Anyway, no one can see, and she has no problem moving around.In Zhao country, she is an ordinary person with money. How can ordinary people be so particular?

"Where's the fruit wine I asked you to make?" Zhao Weizhen asked.

"I'll call someone to take it out of the wine cellar." The shopkeeper responded.

In the north, the fruiting period of plums and plums is in July and August.Zhao Weizhen ordered the shopkeeper to collect materials before, but now that the season has just passed, some of the fruits that come in are soaked in wine, and the other part is dried into dried plums and plums.

While inspecting plum wine and plum wine, Zhao Weizhen grabbed a lot of dried fruit and put them into a cloth bag.

She also tasted it herself, the dried fruit was sour and sweet, and it was refreshing.This kind of snack is the favorite of children, and I will give it to Xiao Yingzheng and Xiao Yandan when I go back.

As for the wine—

"Isn't this soaking good?"

Zhao Weizhen inspected it and was very satisfied: "Shopkeeper, what are you in a hurry for?"

The shopkeeper was very sad: "This, this brewed wine is better imitated than steamed wine, ma'am."

This is true.

But Zhao Weizhen is not worried: steamed wine is just the beginning of all derivative wines.As for the characteristics of wine shops that are not easy to imitate...

Her gaze turned to the ordinary steamed wine sealed in the last large jar.

"Take this jar of wine out."

Zhao Weizhen commanded: "We will hold an altar opening ceremony later, throw the collected snake gall, ginseng, and other precious medicinal materials into the wine when there are the most people."

Shopkeeper: "Huh?"

Zhao Weizhen: "Tell everyone, this medicinal wine recipe is a secret recipe that Lu Buwei found from Shu. Drinking it has the effects of strengthening () Yang, longevity and strengthening the body. After the medicinal materials are soaked in the wine for seven to 49 days, they will be in the wine. The wine shop opened the altar publicly."

The shopkeeper was dumbfounded: "This... this, madam, this is a good idea!

Ha ha.

Zhao Weizhen proudly stuffed a dried plum into his mouth.

When it comes to aphrodisiac, people will still be deceived in the 21st century.

As a modern person, I can't fool the ancients!
