Chapter 58

Cui Renshi came over and said that he wanted to be a matchmaker for Qin Huaidao, and he was also his cousin?

"Cousin?" Qin Huaidao looked at Cui Renshi with a smile in his heart and said.

Cui Renshi, Qin Huaidao doesn't have to think about it, it's either the Qinghe Cui clan or the Boling Cui clan,

The woman of the family, now that she has touched it herself, Li Shimin can hang herself on the city wall to dry!

"Yes, my cousin is the second daughter of Cui Xiongyue, who has been very good in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting since she was a child, and she is just a talented woman with Grandpa Guo!" Cui Renshi sat there, looked at Qin Huaidao and said.

When Qin Huaidao heard it, he still laughed in his heart.

Qin Huaidao knew that Cui Xiongyue was a special entry, and he was an official position, but he was an official of Wen San, and Cui Xiongyue was also one of the leaders of the Cui clan in Qinghe.

"Well, this father-in-law can't sit on the master's seat, I let Uncle Wei Chi decide this matter!

In addition, I am sorry that my father already has a heart! Qin Huaidao sat there, not wanting to listen to nonsense,

The reason why I saw him was to know which family this Cui Renshi was.

Now that he knows, Qin Huaidao has no interest in what Cui Renshi said later.

"Grandpa, in fact, you and your cousin are the most suitable, Xia Guan believes that as long as you can get married, you will definitely be able to be like a fish in water in the court!" Cui Renshi heard Qin Huaidao's refusal, and immediately looked at Qin Huaidao with a sneer and said.

"No, come on, send off!" Qin Huaidao waved his hand, and then spoke.

"Hu Guogong, do you really want to go against our family?" At this time, Cui Renshi stood up, looked at Qin Huaidao and said.

"Oppose? What does this mean? I've never been in contact with your family? Oh, yes, I had contact with him once before, and one is also named Cui Rensi, I don't know what his relationship with you is? Qin Huaidao sat there, pretending to be confused, looking at Cui Renshi and said.

"This is my brother!" Cui Renshi spoke.

"Oh, I said!" Qin Huaidao nodded to show that he understood.

"Hu Guogong, presumably my clan brother came to you before and told you the conditions, why didn't Grandpa Guo think about it?" Cui Renshi stood there, looking at Qin Huaidao and saying.

"That. Presumably your brother has also told you about the original incident, so why ask! Minister, only loyal to His Majesty, what His Majesty lets the minister do. Just do what you do! Qin Huaidao sat there, looked at Cui Renshi with a smile and said.

Cui Renshi heard it, and stood there not knowing how to answer for a while, Cui Rensi didn't tell him about the performance, and he didn't have the qualifications to know!

Therefore, now he is also puzzled, why didn't he convince Qin Huaidao in the first place?

"Hu Guogong, since you have a heart, then the lower officials will not bother, if there is something to offend in the future, please Haihan, Grandpa Guo!" Cui Renshi stood there and said with his fists clenched at Qin Huaidao.

"Hmph, it's better not to, otherwise, I think your family will regret it!" Qin Huaidao snorted coldly, for the threat in his words.

Qin Huaidao also heard it, and he definitely wouldn't give him a good face,

Soon, he was sent out by the housekeeper, and Qin Huaidao was sitting there in a daze.

"Master, these days, it's better not to visit other grandfathers' mansions!" At this moment, Wu Mei took a few maids to the living room and said to Qin Huaidao.

"Huh?" Qin Huaidao heard it and looked up at Wu Mei.

"He is the first, but he will never be the last, if you go to visit other grandfathers' mansions now, and those grandfathers ask you to be a matchmaker, how can you stop it?

Your Majesty has not announced the matter of your marriage with Her Royal Highness the Princess, so you can't say it in advance, sir, if there are variables, it will be embarrassing! Wu Mei walked to Qin Huaidao's side, and after saluting, she said to Qin Huaidao.

"In the afternoon, I still have to go to Xunguo Gong Zhang Liang's mansion for a walk, he is the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and he is also my top boss, and he also had old friends with my father back then, so let's go tomorrow after visiting Xunguo Gong today!" Qin Huaidao thought about it for a while, looked at Qin Huaidao Wu Mei and said,

I know in my heart that Wu Mei is right, it's better not to see Sun Wuji, the prince of Zhao State, who knows what difficult problems they will put forward to themselves.

"It's okay, tomorrow the young master will say that it is inconvenient to go out of the house due to the occasional cold, and at the same time, send someone to the palace to take leave!" Wu Mei looked at Qin Huaidao with a smile and said.

"There is no need to be like this, just send someone to find Brother Cheng tomorrow and tell him, and they will inform Your Majesty!" Qin Huaidao also smiled and said.

"It's good!" Wu Mei smiled and nodded.

"Cheng, I'll go to the Xunguo Mansion first, you stay at home!" Qin Huaidao stood up as he spoke, and said after the visit first, after all, there are so many grandfathers of the country, and he is also the grandfather of the country, so it is not okay not to visit.

When he arrived at the mansion of Zhang Liang, the man in charge of the door, saw Qin Huaidao coming, and immediately ordered the family to open the middle door, and Qin Huaidao passed with the gifts.

Except for the first day, in the future, Qin Huaidao basically didn't take Qin Shandao out, mainly because he was too young, and no one would really care about Qin Shandao now, plus the weather was also hot, Qin Huaidao simply let him study in the house.

"I've seen my uncle and aunt!" When Qin Huaidao entered the mansion, he saw that Zhang Liang and his wife were rushing here.

"Oh, nephew, quick, get up, get up!" Zhang Liang walked quickly and helped Qin Huaidao up,

Qin Huaidao visited the door for the first time, he would kneel, mainly to thank them for their help, after his father left, many grandfathers were good to their own house, and they would send gifts for the New Year and festivals, and they did not forget the house.

"Thank you, uncle, aunt!" Qin Huaidao stood up, clasped his fists and saluted again.

"Let's go to the living room!" Zhang Liang took Qin Huaidao's hand and walked to the corridor next to him.

The green vines above the promenade are already covered, and the breeze below is very cool.

"Pepin, this time your paper is very good, and Your Majesty attaches great importance to it.

You are now serving in the Ministry of Works, and Your Majesty said to your uncle,

In the past few years, it's better not to go to the Ministry of Industry, there are many people in the Ministry of Industry, if you go to the Ministry of Industry on duty, you don't know what they will attack you like! After arriving in the living room, the guests sat down, and Zhang Liang said to Qin Huaidao.

"Oh, my nephew is still thinking that when I finish visiting those uncles and uncles, I will go to the Ministry of Industry to report!" Qin Huaidao looked at Zhang Liang and said, he really didn't know about this.

"The report can come, you don't need to be on duty, Your Majesty specially instructed you, you still have to get the paper right! Now those officials of the Ministry of Industry are waiting for you to go, you paper, but you have offended many people! Zhang Liang looked at Qin Huaidao and shook his head with a smile and said.

"Yes, my nephew knows, but there's no way, isn't it? I can't say that my nephew has made a piece of paper, and I can't do it when I see that the children of the poor families in the world are indifferent if they don't have a book to read! Qin Huaidao said to Zhang Liang.

"Well, therefore, many craftsmen in the Ministry of Industry also hate you, especially the craftsmen of rice paper before, Your Majesty will definitely lose most of the craftsmen of rice paper when the time comes, which is equivalent to saying that you have cut off other people's financial routes.

However, it's okay, those craftsmen have been doing this for generations, and they haven't thought of innovative methods, and the court needs to build tens of thousands of dollars every year, and I don't know whose pocket this money has fallen into! Zhang Liang nodded appreciatively, touched his beard and said,

At this time, the housekeeper came over and said that several officials from the Ministry of Industry had come to discuss the dowry list.

Zhang Liang nodded and motioned for them to come in.

"Well, the old man has been given a headache by the gift list recently, so many items, we have to prepare them before the winter!" Zhang Liang looked at Qin Huaidao and said with a wry smile.

Qin Huaidao smiled and did not speak, after all, this Qin Huaidao couldn't take care of it.

Soon, a few officials came in, and they saw Qin Huaidao sitting there, stunned for a moment, but after saluting Zhang Liang, they also saluted Qin Huaidao, and Qin Huaidao nodded with a smile.

"My lord, other materials are easy to say, that is, those books, if you invite someone to copy them, it will cost a lot of money, and among the books for this marriage, there are more than 5,000 books of all kinds, and 50 books are needed for each book.

I heard that Hu Guogong has this piece of paper, and once the paper mill produces it, we will purchase it, but it takes a lot of people to copy! Revisions are needed, etc., which can cost money! An official stood there and said to Zhang Liang,

Zhang Liang also touched his head worriedly, then looked up at the official and said, "How much will it cost?" ”

"This, it is estimated that all those books will be copied, it will take 2,500 yuan, it may be more than that, some books have a lot of words, in addition, we ask someone to copy so many books, and it is estimated that there are not so many readers in the entire capital!" The official was also embarrassed and said,

250,000 books, fortunately, now I don't use rice paper, but Qin Huaidao's white paper, otherwise, the paper doesn't have so much money.

"Well, the old man will go to His Majesty tomorrow to see if there is a better way on His Majesty's side!" Zhang Liang looked at the officials helplessly and said.

"Yes, but this matter needs to be grasped quickly, according to the time, we need to make 200 books a day, and to ensure that there are 200 books a day, then we need to recruit 800 people to copy!" The official stood there and continued to speak, reminding Zhang Liang that time was running out now.

"Well, the old man knows, you go back first, the old man will go and report this matter to His Majesty!" Zhang Liang nodded and said,

Inviting so many people to copy, it is indeed a troublesome thing, the price of inviting a reader is not the same as the price of inviting ordinary people, the price of a reader is much more expensive, 10 yuan a day is the best, and you have to take care of food and housing.

Soon, the official was gone, and Zhang Liang took the list and sighed.

"Uncle, we need to marry so many books, isn't this okay?" At this moment, Qin Huaidao looked at Zhang Liang and whispered.
