Chapter 1: The Zhao Family's Daughter Grows Up



In the 36th year of the First Emperor's calendar, Mars was in the heart.

Shortly after the occurrence of Mars in the Heart, a meteorite fell in Dongjun.

In this era, this is not a good sign. However, there is a line of curse words carved on the meteorite:

After the death of Qin Shi Huang, the land was divided.

When the First Emperor learned about this, he immediately sent imperial censors to the local area to investigate the matter, but the local people knew nothing about it.

The First Emperor was furious and would rather kill a thousand people by mistake than let one go, so he killed all the people living around the meteorite.

Zhao Qingrui stood in the pavilion with a hint of melancholy in his eyes.

After listening to her subordinates' reports and combining them with the history she knew, she already knew about this matter.

Zhao Qingrui's gaze was far-reaching. "Go down and continue to monitor. Report any abnormalities anywhere in Daqin immediately."

The spring rain in the courtyard is hazy, and the lush bamboo forest looks like a misty ink painting.

As the man retreated and disappeared into the small courtyard, the worry in Zhao Qingrui's eyes grew even more intense.

Alas, what is coming will eventually come.

After traveling to the Qin Dynasty for more than ten years, she felt that she was still very lucky. Although her mother died early, she had a father who loved her.

My father is a businessman. He is away on business all year round and only comes back three or four times a year at most.

This small Jingshui Pavilion is her territory, and the pavilion chief is her father's man. No matter how she messes around here over the years, the county lieutenant has no idea what's going on here.

My father is indeed very capable. He seems to have some connections in the court, which has ensured that his business has never encountered any problems.

Calculating the time, this October was the time when the First Emperor went on his last tour, and in July of next year, he died suddenly in the Shaqiu Palace.

After so many years of preparation, especially at this critical moment, she cannot relax at all.

"Miss, it's very cold outside. It's time to go back." The maid Chunxi said softly, afraid to disturb Zhao Qingrui.

Chunxi has been with Zhao Qingrui for several years and is very familiar with her habits and rules.

Back in the room, the faint scent of sandalwood in the room slightly eased the urgency in Zhao Qingrui's heart.

"Miss, is there anything bothering you?"

These days, Chunxi can feel the young lady's impetuousness.

Although she was Zhao Qingrui's maid, Zhao Qingrui didn't tell her much about what he did. She only needed to take care of Zhao Qingrui's food and daily life.

The people the young lady truly trusts are the housekeeper Liu Changfeng and the teacher Zhao Wen at the small academy.

Zhao Qingrui shook her head. "Nothing. Just remind Butler Liu to wait until the weather gets better and take out the grain from the cellar to dry it out to prevent it from getting damp."

Chunxi left the room. Zhao Qingrui supported his cheek with his left hand and was in a daze. There was a piece of white rice paper in front of him, but his right hand was unable to start writing.

It’s only the beginning of spring this year, and it’s been more than four months since my dad last came back. He didn’t even come back for the Chinese New Year.

Until now, her father has shown no intention of coming back, and she is very worried.

The world outside is about to fall into chaos, and she can only feel at ease when her father is by her side.

We are not short of money. When the world is in chaos and the rebels arrive, if we don’t have the ability to protect ourselves, we will just be giving money away.

She knew of three famous businessmen in the history of the Qin Dynasty. One of them was Ba Guafuqing, who had a good relationship with Qin Shihuang. The large amount of mercury in the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang was obtained by Ba Guafuqing.

Now that she has passed away, the First Emperor still built the Huaiqing Terrace for her.

The second one is Wu Shiluo. According to the Records of the Grand Historian: Biographies of Merchants, “Wu Shiluo raised livestock and raised many people. He sold them at a high price, sought rare and exquisite objects, and occasionally presented them to the King of Rong.

The King of Rong paid ten times the compensation and gave them livestock. He used grain to measure the amount of horses and cattle.

The First Emperor of Qin made Luo Bi a lord and allowed him to attend court and make requests with other ministers from time to time.

Wu Shiluo was a Rongdi man in the Wu tribe. He was good at bribing the chiefs, which allowed him to gain advantages and become rich through animal husbandry, which earned him the attention of Qin Shihuang. A mere shepherd was able to attend court sessions with other ministers and discuss state affairs together.

As for the last one, Lu Buwei was a big businessman in Yangdi. He traveled around, buying at low prices and selling at high prices, accumulating a fortune of thousands of gold.

Qin Shihuang's mother was once Lu Buwei's concubine, who had long been dead by then.

Her surname is Zhao, and she has no connection with these families. She must be the cannon fodder crushed by the wheels of history. She dare not be careless at all.

Although she also has a system golden finger after traveling through time, the things given by the system are enough for her to protect herself.

But she has a father who is away from home all year round. Even if she has the things given by the system, it cannot protect her father who is not with her.

I don’t know what my father is thinking. He is so old and still never comes home.

Her father's health has been getting worse in recent years, which makes her even more worried.

He shook his head, cleared out the messy thoughts in his mind, calmed down, and started writing the letter.

There was not much content in the letter, it only had one meaning, which was to urge Dad to come back quickly.

After writing the letter, I checked it once and found no problems. I rolled it up, put it in a bamboo tube and sealed it. I will have someone deliver it to my father as quickly as possible tomorrow.

Zhao Qingrui opened the system and found 3259 points, which were the points she had accumulated over the past ten years.

The system is called the preaching system. Through it, you impart knowledge to more people, let more people know this knowledge, and change the lives of the people in order to gain points.

Over the years, apart from the teaching materials in the novice gift package and the bionic teacher Zhao Wen, she has only bought sweet potato and potato seeds.

Only the people in the village knew about the production of sweet potatoes and potatoes. Everyone in the village was loyal to her, so the news naturally did not leak out.

She knew clearly the production of sweet potatoes and potatoes, and once the news got out, it would definitely cause an uproar.

Even though this could bring her a lot of points, it would also put her in danger, and she couldn't take the risk.

The source of these points was an elementary school she opened in Jingshui Pavilion, with Zhao Wen as the teacher.

Qianshou had no money to send her children to school, and she had to coax the twenty or so students into the school by giving them food.

Fortunately, these children work very hard and know that learning opportunities are rare. They are all qualified tools for cheating on scores. These more than 3,000 points are provided by them.

Browsing casually through the system mall, there are many kinds of things in it, not only modern knowledge, but also various high-tech and even things for cultivating immortals. The system mall refreshes three items every day.

Looking at what was refreshed today, the corners of my mouth twitched.

The sleeping pillow is worth 60,000 points and is a boon for insomnia patients. You will definitely fall asleep within five minutes of hugging it. It can also soothe your mind and prevent nightmares.

** brand smart home robot, only 99W points, can cook, clean, take care of children, etc., with complete functions, and can even be a part-time boyfriend (?_?).

** brand constant temperature clothing, clearance sale, now only 3000 points.

Turn off the system quietly, out of sight, out of mind.

There is a discount every day. She doesn’t need the ones she can afford, and she can’t afford the ones she wants. It feels so bad.

"Miss, Butler Liu wants to see you for something." Chunxi came back from outside and said respectfully.

Zhao Qingrui calmly put away the notebook on the table and said, "Let him go to the study."
