Chapter 104: Shopkeeper Hu is very busy

"I ...... I'm just telling the truth, because I know him best among all of you. And the more I understand, the more frightened I become, according to what you said, I judge that this King of Qin has a bright future, and it will do us no harm to befriend him. The Third Elder explained.

Some people still felt that it was an exaggeration, but many people had almost been persuaded by the three elders and began to nod secretly.

At this moment, the Eighth Elder, who had been silent, spoke, "Everyone, since this His Royal Highness the King of Qin is a good match, let's discuss and hesitate here, others are not necessarily, it is difficult to guarantee that no one will bet on him in the five surnames and seven hopes, so the first strike is stronger!" ”

……

The patriarch, who had been listening to his opinions silently, spoke: "Marrying His Royal Highness the King of Qin, on the one hand, is an alliance, and on the other hand, it is also a confidant and the other, since we can't hear useful information from the outside, it is not a good way to send someone into the interior." Although this move is a little wronged by the child, for the time being, it seems that His Royal Highness the King of Qin is a sought-after good match, and it is unknown whether it is a blessing. ”

"Patriarch, in this way, you are also in favor of marrying the King of Qin?" The second elder was surprised.

The patriarch laughed and said, "Not bad. ”

"Why? You are the head of the clan, and our Qinghe Cui clan doesn't ask him for royalty, so we don't have to look at his face. The second elder reminded that it means that if all of us are so active, we will inevitably lose our status.

The patriarch shook his head, stretched out a finger and said leisurely: "Have you ever thought about a question, the King of Qin took out a good seed with a yield of 1,000 catties per mu to obtain a world-class merit, and who is sure that the King of Qin only has such a treasure?" What if he was a great treasure in his own right? ”

What??? How is this possible? That kind of good seed, there is one that is already a rare chance, does he still have it?

Everyone was stunned by the patriarch's thoughts, and no one dared to believe it.

At this time, the patriarch continued: "Do you remember that kind of clever silk weaving technology that was openly sold by the imperial court before? After investigation, it was from the hand of King Qin.

Recently, I Qinghe Cui's secret secret pile came with intelligence, and the next time the imperial court may have to do something about salt, there is news that the imperial court has obtained an extremely clever salt-making method. ”

"What??? Salt production method? It was from the hand of King Qin again? Oh my God, is he still human? How do you understand everything? How many secrets is he still hiding? The second elder exclaimed.

"Hehe, yes, I want to know too, and now is the chance." An inexplicable glint flashed in the patriarch's eyes, as if everything was under control.

At this time of discussion, no one had any objections, on the one hand, they sent someone to reply to the imperial court, and the Qinghe Cui clan responded to the edict, on the other hand, all the descendants and branches of the clan went back to select, and the number of places was limited, to see who would compete for this princess of Qin.

Qinghe Cui's is like this, and the other six major families are similar, such as the Boling Cui family, the Taiyuan Wang family, the Xingyang Zheng family, the Zhaojun Li family, etc., these big families that have been inherited for thousands of years, there is no shortage of far-sighted wise men, and they have all expressed their response to the edict.

The news spread, not only the five surnames and seven wangs, but also those famous wealthy families all wrote to the imperial court and rushed to participate, such as the Pei family in Hedong, the Liu family, and the Langya Wang family......

In Chang'an City, the news spread the fastest, and the matter of King Qin's choice of concubine has become the most enthusiastic topic among the people after dinner, and it is becoming more and more lively day by day.

Because of the merits of thousands of catties of good seeds, the people all remember the benefits of King Qin, and now I hear that King Qin chose a concubine, and hundreds of people are willing to help, that is, the court has set a selection threshold, otherwise I am afraid that half of the women in the world will come to participate in the selection, and those parents are more concerned than choosing their daughters-in-law.

Speaking of civil action, we have to mention an interesting incident.

I all know that His Royal Highness King Qin does not live in the Qin Palace, and likes to live in his own tavern in Xishi. It's just that there are fifty guards at the door to take care of it, and there are generals running to the hall inside, so no one dares to be harassed by this, and coming a few more times is just to eat a few more meals and want to see the demeanor of King Qin twice, which is similar to chasing stars in later generations.

I am afraid of things in the world, and a few businessmen in the West Market came to the door to find the shopkeeper Hu at the mouth of the alley, and the shopkeeper Hu was stunned, what is the situation? What do you want me to do?

"Lao Hu, what do you think of my daughter? The posture is still passable, right? I have been cultivated since I was a child, I am knowledgeable, proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, have you ever seen it? Boss Cai, who is also a grocer, pulled his daughter and smiled.

Boss Xu of the ready-to-wear store here also has a similar attitude, and he brought his daughter here.

There is also Boss Zhang, the shopkeeper of the largest tavern in the West Market, and Boss Jin, the behind-the-scenes owner of the largest green building in the West Market......

Here, the shopkeeper cautiously glanced back at the back hall and patted his chest, fortunately, the lady was not there.

He turned his head and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, what do you mean by this?" My old Hu is this age, and I have a family, you are not good like this! I know that you know that I am good friends with His Royal Highness King Qin, and I want to get to know the prince through me, no problem, the prince is approachable, I will try it another day.

It's just that this concubine ......"

Everyone looked at the shopkeeper Hu, and they were all stunned, and said in their hearts, Lao Hu, you want to deviate, didn't we give our daughter to you, and you are also worthy?

Shopkeeper Hu talked to himself here, lowered his voice and said: "Don't be quiet, let's go out to talk another day!" ”

Burst......

Everyone's down! I didn't expect your Lao Hu to be like this, we came to you for help, your special mother is worried about Lao Tzu's daughter, what is it? Shameless beasts!

But at this time, they are begging people, although the shopkeeper Hu didn't enter the stream much before, but now the tide is rising, it is different, everyone looks down on it, and they dare not offend, even if it is a misunderstanding now, no one dares to stretch out their heads and say that you are not worthy of my daughter.

Coincidentally, at this time, the lady of the shopkeeper walked out of the back hall.

Everyone looked at Mrs. Hu together, there was no sound in front of the counter, no one spoke, the shopkeeper Hu was even more frightened, and his heart was finished.

Boss Qinglou Jin was clever and hurriedly shouted: "Mrs. Sister-in-law, don't misunderstand, Shopkeeper Hu is in our hearts, he is definitely a good man, and he will never be greedy for concubines." We didn't bring our daughter over to make trouble for you, didn't we hear that His Royal Highness King Qin was short of people to take care of, just the little girl was of the right age, and I wanted to ask the shopkeeper Hu to help say something, Princess Qin, we didn't dare to think about it, but it should be almost the same to serve tea and pour water to be a maid or something, His Royal Highness King Qin is a good person, and someone can rest assured that someone will take care of us, isn't it? ”

Well? Yes? Madam? Ahem, yes, we're talking about that. Shopkeeper Hu was embarrassed and hurriedly explained.

Boss Cai, a grocer opposite, Boss Xu, a ready-to-wear store, and Boss Zhang of a restaurant all quietly gave Boss Jin a thumbs up, which was really witty.
