The Emperor of Qin gave six handsome men

Chapter 149 Deception

Ying Jiang listened attentively, but the magpie stopped singing.

"Don't stop! Keep going! Why are you still panting so hard?"

Xi Que felt dry in the mouth and quickly drank some water to moisten her throat. She was so unlucky to have such a gossipy guy.

"Oh! Princess, let me tell you..."

Xi Que was about to continue speaking when she saw Zong Zheng's men coming. She winked at Ying Jiang, who turned back curiously and quickly stood up, straightened his clothes, and shook off the melon seed shells on his body.

The magpie quickly helped to clean up.

"Greetings, uncle. How come you have time to come to my place?"

Ying Zhi ignored her behavior and spoke in the manner of an elder.

"Ying Jiang, you are not young anymore. If you don't get married now, what will you do when you are old? It is extremely important to have children."

The magpie served tea and Ying Jiang quickly spoke.

"Uncle, thank you for your trouble. Please try this green bud from Qianzhong first. It is made from the tenderest buds of tea. Look at the flat and smooth appearance of this tea, which is shaped like a sunflower seed, and is very rare. Look at the color, which is emerald green, and the aroma is even more refreshing and pleasant, with a strong millet aroma and fresh floral fragrance. The taste is mellow and refreshing, with a sweet aftertaste. The whole soup is bright yellow-green, and the bottom of the leaves is tender green and even. It is a rare item this year."

Ying Jiang knew that he loved tea. Xi Que was becoming more and more considerate. She secretly gave her a thumbs up with her hands behind her back.

Ying Zhi was really attracted by what she said. He observed carefully and for a moment forgot the purpose of his visit.

"Yes! That's right. This tea has only become popular in the past two years. Due to the earthquake this year, the production is pitifully small. You are really rich to have such expensive tea."

Ying Zhi and his people get a share of the salt and cement every year, but the royal family members have too many children, so the money they get is getting less and less. They decided that men and women can only get a share after they are 20 years old and have a family. Otherwise, they will get even less now.

If he didn't have this responsibility as the clan leader, he wouldn't bother to urge them to get married and have children.

"Oh! It's all because Prime Minister Qin pities me. If the emperor likes it, I have other teas here. You can take them back and try them."

Ying Jiang tried a look at Xi Que, and Xi Que quickly went down and packed some of each tea.

Ying Zhi felt a little embarrassed.

"This...this is not good!"

While saying sorry, his eyes were fixed on the tea. Each type of tea had a name on it. Ying Zhi was secretly shocked. How much would these be?

Ying Jiang saw that he liked it and complimented him highly.

"What's wrong with it? This is a gift from the younger generation to honor the elders. Uncle, please try it. If you like it, I will have someone send it to you."

Ying Zhi thought it made sense and did not refuse. After drinking a cup of tea, Ying Zhi went home under Ying Jiang's persuasion and happily went home to make tea.

"Hmm~ This tea is good. The tea soup is orange-yellow and thick, the aroma is sharp and lasting, the fragrance is unique, the taste is rich and mellow, and it can be brewed for a long time."

Mrs. Ying Zhi, Mi Xuan, was a little confused when she saw him coming back so soon.

"Didn't my husband go to urge Princess Jiang to get married? Is everything going well?"

Ying Zhi's hand holding the tea stopped for a moment. He looked up at his wife in confusion. Only later did he realize that he had been fooled by Ying Jiang. Suddenly, he felt that the tea in his hand was not fragrant at all.

Mi Xuan couldn't help but find it funny when she saw him acting like that, thinking that he was still a little silly and cute even at his age.

"Looking at you, have you been fooled by Ying Jiang?"

Ying Zhi refused to admit it.

"How is that possible? I was just wondering what kind of man Jiang Yatou wants."

Mi Xuan didn't reveal his past and just went along with what he said.

"You must be so tired running around like this every day! Isn't the Double Ninth Festival coming soon? Why not hold a chrysanthemum appreciation party and invite all the unmarried young talents to participate and let them see what they want. What do you think of my arrangement?"

As Mi Xuan spoke, she showed him the banquet schedule she had prepared. Ying thought that this was a good idea, allowing them to choose freely without having to suffer any bullying. He picked up the schedule she had prepared and couldn't stop praising her after reading it.

"Madam is amazing."

Mi Xuan's eyes sparkled. She finally had a chance to show her talents. Maybe she could even achieve success in her career.

"Is that what we're going to do?"

Ying Zhi thought for a while and said.

"It's just that the cost of this banquet is still unclear. Please inquire about it and complete it. I will report to His Majesty."

"Oh! You are such a blockhead. Why do you want to trouble His Majesty? There are many rich people in Daqin now. Who doesn't have a boy or a girl? As long as the news spreads, we will host the event and collect some registration fees from everyone. Then the rest of the money will be ours, right?"

These are people from the royal family, something many people would love to have. This is a huge opportunity.

Ying Zhi didn't think too much about it for a while. After hearing what she said, he thought that this could be a big deal! But he thought that this was a bit bad.

"Wouldn't this be good?"

"Why is it bad? Even if it's free, there will always be people who want some information! Why don't you just leave it to me?"

"let me see."

Ying Zhi drank a sip of tea and thought, while Mi Xuan was counting the money beside him.

"We will hold poetry competitions, Cuju, horseback archery, and painting near Shanglin Garden. Nobles, merchants, and the like can all attend. You don't have to pay for the venue. Just prepare some food and doctors. Each person will be charged a registration fee of 500. We expect about people. For those who want to know other information, the price will vary depending on their wealth..."

Ying Zhi was secretly shocked when he heard this. It turned out that money could be made this way. He should ask for permission first. That way, he would be acting on orders and others would have no reason to attack them.

"Madam, let's not talk about this for now. We still need to discuss this matter with His Majesty."

Mi Xuan felt that this matter was a sure thing.

"Okay, thank you husband! Is there anything you want to eat today?"

Ying Zhi thought about it.

"Let's have steamed sea bass! I haven't eaten seafood for a long time. Do you have anything else?"

"Yes, the latest and freshest seafood just arrived today. The abalone is as big as a bowl, and there are also crabs, etc. Oh, and the green plum wine brewed last year is ready to drink. I'll arrange it right away."

In Xianyang, a boatload of seafood and fruits are delivered every two days. Previously, they were supplied to the palace in large quantities and they could not eat much. Now, there are only so many people in the harem, and if Your Majesty is merciful, they can also eat them.

Ying Zhi felt a little impatient after hearing what she said.

"Thank you Madam!"
