Chapter Eighty-Five: The White Wolf with Empty Gloves
Turning the day, the sun rose in the east, the old master Meng Wei sat in the hall with a smile, Meng Wu stood aside, and Zhao Zheng drank tea without a sip. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The tea is a good tea, mellow and fragrant, but it tastes very bitter when drunk, for no other reason than to set a wedding date, and banquet Xianyang magnates, and announce in public that Zhao Zheng and the Great Qin Mengjia are married.
"Virtuous son-in-law, there is a way that the princes marry for three years, the doctor marries for two years, and the old man is a martial artist, but there is also a title of doctor in the Qin State, it is better to set it on the fifteenth day of the first month in two years, how about the Shangyuan Festival?"
Zhao Zheng nodded, and said with a wry smile in his heart: It was your trap from the beginning, the empty glove white wolf, and the solid mountain for nothing, why bother to say more now that the wedding date is set, it must be the follow-up of the empty glove white wolf.
Two years later, the dust settled, and Gushan further occupied Taihang and Yanshan, and took a step back to leave Wanguan family wealth, no matter what, it was a good ending for the Meng family and the Qin State.
"But with the arrangement of the father-in-law, the son-in-law will listen to it."
"That's right, it's long overdue, I don't have to drink those wines mixed with water, sweet or bitter, it's so unpleasant." Meng Wuxiao walked over, patted Zhao Zheng on the shoulder and said.
"Ahem~um"
Meng Fu coughed a few times in embarrassment, although everyone knew about this matter, but it still damaged his face, for such a sincere Meng Wu, his response plan was to kick away.
"Tam goods, with this leisure and your wife Dunlun, the old man still wants to hold a few more grandchildren."
Meng Wu scratched his head, left with a smile, and threw a look at Zhao Zheng that all men knew when he left.
Meng Tian's qi disease was cured, Wang Fu had no worries in her heart, and the rest was naturally shame.
Zhao Zhengmu sent him away, feeling that everything is up to anyone, once the banquet is held tomorrow, the princes will be more vigilant against Gushan, especially the Zhou Dynasty, and will strictly inspect Gushan to transport goods, and the opportunity to do things in the future will also be reduced.
"The matter has come to this, the son-in-law will not live up to Qianqian, but there is one thing that I don't understand, and I hope that my father-in-law will solve my doubts."
Meng Fu made a "say" gesture.
Zhao Zheng stood up with a thud and said sharply: "Why do you want to marry me at the expense of Qianqian's name, is your father-in-law for the Qin State or for the Meng family?" ”
Looking at each other, Zhao Zheng's momentum was not weaker than that of the battle-hardened Meng Fu.
After a while, Meng Fu smiled and said: "If the Qin State is prosperous, the Meng family will be prosperous, the Meng family is very good, and the Qin State will naturally be beneficial."
As for why the old man designed you at the expense of his daughter's name, because you are not a heartless person, Princess Zheng Guo has repeatedly framed you, but in the end, you still reconciled with her, and helped her control Zheng Guo's power in one fell swoop.
The old man's move seems to be a big gamble, but it is actually a certainty, Qianqian must be Gu Shanjun's wife, and Gu Shanjun will not let her down. ”
"Ho, so that's the case, I don't know if my indecisive temperament is good or bad, the father-in-law is not worried that Gushan will be conquered and destroyed by the princes one day, and the son-in-law will be killed and the clan will be destroyed, and Qianqian can only become a widow and an ominous person."
Meng Wei was slightly stunned, and then smiled: "Just from the few times you refused to be co-opted by the Qin State, you are by no means a person who has lost the country, and the princes are still under your control, and Linzi has said that the world has called off the Northern Expedition of the Alliance." Zhang Zi was just like this back then, so why worry about not being a big deal. ”
"To borrow your auspicious words, it's just that the son-in-law's industry in Zhou Wangji will be affected, but the market of Qin has not yet opened."
Zhao Zheng turned to the first profit, Meng Fu was not angry but happy, this is really treating the Meng family as an in-law, a son-in-law and half a son, only a son can ask Lao Tzu for money for no reason.
"Tomorrow's banquet, the old man will invite Xianyang wealthy businessmen, and some business families will also arrive, but you can't cooperate with the Bai family, and the remaining Ba family and Lu family can be chosen at will."
The Bai family, the old family of Qin, and the two families of Xibai are entrenched in Longxi, basically monopolizing the trade between Qin and the Xiongnu in the north and the Qiang in the west, and the business of horses and sheepskins, and also has a lot of shares in Zhuxia. is such a big businessman, and he was inadvertently offended by himself.
"Why", Zhao Zheng said in surprise. Dawan Ma is a good horse in the world, even Lin Hu has no purebred, purebred is only in the thirty-six countries of the Western Regions, and this road has always been monopolized by the Bai family. A long time ago, Zhao Zheng planned to cooperate with the Bai family, exchanging soybean oil, white flour and other things for purebred Dawan horses to breed good breeds, but now eighty percent is not good.
Meng Fu touched his nose and said in a loud voice: "It's not because of you, Gongzi An's mother and concubine Bai Ji are the concubines of the Bai family, and she has repeatedly proposed marriage to Qianqian and has been rejected. "Meng Fu looks like he blames you completely, and he completely forgets that he designed it.
"Duel?"
Zhao Zheng suddenly remembered that Meng Wu had said to himself that the three sons of King Qin were brave, had the legacy of the first king and the king of Wu, captured the tiger alive, and had the ability to raise his arms to carry the tripod, and now he was going to duel with himself.
"Don't worry, the old man didn't pay attention, and Gongzi An was ordered to send an envoy to Xiqiang, and he is not in Xianyang at the moment, but..."
Meng Wei changed his words and said with a smile: "His maternal uncle Bai Lishu is in Xianyang, and the old man has also sent out invitations, so tomorrow you have to pick some big businessmen to talk about business, Bai Lishu has already let go of not talking to Gushan about a penny deal." ”
"Ha~ ow, say that these old men are also tired, and rest first, virtuous son-in-law, you take your time to refer to it, the popularity of Bailishu is not very good, and it can't get along with Lu Buwei."
Meng Fu hurriedly slipped away, leaving Zhao Zheng to cry without tears.
Gushan has many people and few places, and is sandwiched between big countries, there is no way to get rich and noble except for business, but now it directly cuts off most of the business sources of Qin.
This is the real empty glove white wolf, Meng Fu didn't pay at all, but Zhao Zheng wanted to open the market in the Qin State, which was full of enemies.
"Master, who are you for the banquet of Marquis Wuxin?"
In a certain big mansion, a middle-aged man in brocade clothes who was not angry and arrogant held an invitation card in his hand, stared at a name repeatedly and said: "Go, not only to go but also to prepare a big gift, you go and arrange it personally, and count the pair of night pearls of the East China Sea." ”
The housekeeper respectfully retreated, looking at the clothes on his body, there was a word "Lu" written on the corner of his clothes, and the middle-aged man was the prime minister of Daqin Zuo, the wealthy businessman Lu Buwei.
The housekeeper left, and he was the only one left in the house, Lu Buwei slowly walked to the wall, stepped on a message, and a door appeared on the wall.
Inside is a bedroom, small but very warm, everything is cleaned up and arranged by Lu Buwei himself.
The curtain was pulled up, and the brocade quilt on the bed was as if he had just slept yesterday, and there was a person lying inside, with no breath at all, and his hands and feet were cold.
"Senior sister, you are okay all these years, you can find our Zheng'er, remember to give me a dream, Zichu's illness is getting more and more serious, and he won't live for a few years, but the original agreement has not been realized, Lan Ji's slut also wants her son to ascend the throne, but the throne of Qin will always belong to Zheng'er, forever." Lu Buwei's eyes showed a burst of murderous intent.
"Oh no, I didn't scare you, senior sister, don't worry, I will definitely find Zheng'er, and then help him ascend the throne as king, our father and son will dominate the country and kill those spies of Diewei to avenge you."
After about a stick of incense, when Lu Buwei reappeared, the corners of his eyes were red and slightly moist.
And the one lying in the dark room is not a real corpse, but a jade figure carved from fine Kunlun jade, which is lifelike and shows the skill of the carver, and Lu Buwei left his hands full of scars for this.
"Zhao Zheng, the old man has wanted to meet you for a long time."
At the same time, a group of Qin people secretly went out of Xianyang to Yan State to inquire about Zhao Zheng's background, Gushan and Zhao said that he was a distant branch of the Zhao family, but Zi Chu did not believe it. Similarly, Lu Buwei didn't believe it, and the spies of the Lu family also went out of Xianyang but went to Zheng Guo to find the person who saved Zhao Zheng in the first place.
