Chapter 512: Quan Zhaonian Enters the Capital
At this moment, Guo Yalun looked at Chu Shiheng in surprise and asked:
"Is the Quan Zhaonian you are talking about the same Quan Zhaonian I am thinking of?"
Hearing this, Xue Zhonggui also hurriedly asked: "Yes, why haven't I heard you say this before?"
You must know that during this period, the country of Daxia was peaceful and the people were safe, and there were no more wars on the border.
Apart from training troops, these military generals really don't have much to do.
So they often get together on weekdays.
But even so, they seemed to have never heard the couple talk about this.
"We were originally planning to tell you today, but who knew that Quan Zhaonian would come so soon." Yu Mengqing explained naturally.
What she said was true, she had originally planned to tell them today.
It wasn't that she didn't want to say it before, but she herself had forgotten.
This also came to mind suddenly.
"You guys still have some conscience!" Guo Peiying on the side couldn't help but mutter.
Yu Mengqing: "......"
However, as soon as Guo Peiying finished speaking, Quan Zhaonian walked in from outside.
After seeing so many people gathered, he was stunned.
Of course, he wouldn't be so narcissistic as to think that they were all waiting for him here.
Because before he came here, he didn't tell any of them that he was coming.
"Your humble servant Quan Zhaonian has met..."
"We are all family here, let's get up!" Yu Mengqing spoke before Quan Zhaonian finished speaking.
Seeing this, Quan Zhaonian nodded in understanding.
I have to say, after not seeing her for a few days, the Princess of Chu's temperament has completely changed.
In the northwest, she exudes the temperament of a general and a tough woman.
And now, Quan Zhaonian finally saw that gentle aura in her.
"Why? Are you planning to just stand here today?"
Seeing that he was just staring at his wife without saying anything, Chu Shiheng, who was standing by, couldn't help but speak.
After saying this, Quan Zhaonian suddenly felt embarrassed.
He didn't expect that he would be so obsessed with thinking about these things that he even forgot his original purpose of coming to the capital.
Recovering his thoughts, Quan Zhaonian quickly handed the account book in his hand to several people and said:
"Prince Chu, Princess Chu, this is the account book from the Northwest Factory. Please take a look."
"Is it just the account book?" Chu Shiheng asked in a light tone after taking it.
Hearing this, Quan Zhaonian was stunned.
He didn't know if it was his illusion, but he always felt that the prince seemed to be very hostile towards him.
Yu Mengqing thought to herself: This is not an illusion, this is real, he is targeting you.
However, even though Quan Zhaonian knew that this was a target, he had to endure it.
Who made him the King of War?
Who made him so successful in battle?
Thinking of this, Quan Zhaonian said respectfully: "Your Highness has misunderstood. This time I came back because of the Emperor's order!"
"Your Majesty?" Chu Shiheng asked curiously.
"Yes, and no. Your Highness knows that I am not a Jinshi, but a mere scholar. So I came here this time because Your Highness and the Princess recommended me to the Emperor, so the Emperor decided to personally examine me."
Hearing this, Chu Shiheng immediately remembered.
It seems like I have actually done such a stupid thing.
When he first returned to Beijing, he mentioned this person to the emperor many times.
Now that I think about it, why do I feel like I'm shooting myself in the foot?
Thinking of this, he hated his big mouth again.
However, Yu Mengqing was different. She had never known that Chu Shiheng had recommended Quan Zhaonian to the emperor.
It seems that this man is not as petty as I imagined.
Thinking of this, Yu Mengqing slowly picked up his hand from under the table and held it tightly.
Noticing Yu Mengqing's little movements, Chu Shiheng started to act arrogant again.
It seems that my efforts are not in vain.
"Master Quan, please sit down. You are in for a treat today." Xue Zhonglan said to Quan Zhaonian with a smile.
Hearing this, Quan Zhaonian was suddenly flattered.
You know, everyone here is a big shot.
How could someone like him, who hadn't even passed the imperial examination, possibly be able to marry her?
"Don't worry, sit down and try this brine. I have to say, you are really lucky today to have the opportunity to taste this food."
"Brine? Is this brine?" Quan Zhaonian asked curiously.
"Yeah, have you heard of it too?"
"I've heard of it. Almost everyone in the northwest knows about it, but they just haven't had the chance to try it. It's said to be a delicacy in the capital, but I didn't expect that Zhaonian could taste it today."
Quan Zhaonian said cautiously.
What he said was indeed true. People in the northwest are living a better life now.
So I am interested in topics like food.
In the past, people could not even get enough food to eat, but now there are few such places in the northwest.
"All the villagers in the northwest know about this?" Yu Mengqing asked in surprise.
"Yes, they all know it."
Hearing this, not only Yu Mengqing, but even Chu Shiheng was surprised.
This brine has only been on the market for a short time, so it shouldn't be known even in places as far away as the northwest, right?
“This factory…”
"Princess Chu, don't misunderstand me. This is just an account book. I have another stack here."
After saying that, Quan Zhaonian took out the remaining account books from the backpack.
"It's not a question of the number of account books, but are you sure there is nothing wrong with these account books?" Yu Mengqing asked again.
"Princess Chu, that's right. This is the factory's account book. What you see is only a portion of it. We will make more money later. Many merchants have already come to our factory to order down jackets. The orders are even scheduled until the end of the year."
"So exaggerated?"
"I'm not exaggerating. Look at this. This is the order. Many of their merchants have already paid half of the deposit in advance for fear of not being able to get the goods."
Hearing this, Yu Mengqing quickly opened the account book that Quan Zhaonian had just mentioned.
When I opened it, I saw that it contained all the recent orders.
"Do you have so many duck feathers and goose feathers now?" Yu Mengqing asked worriedly.
"Don't worry, Princess Chu. We have calculated the quantities. Besides, we don't have them, but the Man Jing Kingdom does. And Jing Keqing has also placed orders for quite a bit of goods from our factory."
"Oh? He also ordered it?" Yu Mengqing asked curiously.
"Yes, his order is ranked first and he also has the most orders."
"You can't do this. Even if he is Jing Keqing, you can't let him use the back door and give him the goods first. This is unfair to other merchants." Yu Mengqing said in a deep voice.
