"I haven't seen you for a while. Miss Zhao has become even more beautiful." Sheng Guanping raised the corners of his lips, but his eyes were always on Zhao Qingrui.
Sheng Guanping's father is the county lieutenant here, and his power here is neither big nor small.
We are just merchants. As the saying goes, people should not fight against officials, and this also applies in the Qin Dynasty.
Sheng Guanping's eyes were filled with amazement. Zhao Qingrui was so beautiful that his eyes lit up every time he saw her.
The girl was wearing a plain silk dress of light green, which was long and dragged on the ground. It had no floral pattern, except for a few half-opened oleander flowers embroidered with magenta silk thread on the cuffs. She was tied around her waist with a milky white silk belt, from which hung a small sachet and a chain of green jade pendants, which made her figure look even more like a willow, and as delicate as a flying swallow facing the wind.
Her hair was also combed neatly and simply, with a white jade eight-tooth comb to tie it loosely at the back of her head, and two pearl hairpins with a little silver tassel were inserted. When she swayed her head lightly, she brought out the natural beauty of a new lotus after the rain.
Her dress is different from other women, which always makes people's eyes light up.
"Mr. Sheng, please respect yourself." Zhao Qingrui frowned. Sheng Guanping's straightforward look made her feel uncomfortable.
Two years ago, when I was playing in the county, I met Sheng Guanping and then I got entangled with him.
From then on, Sheng Guanping would come to the Zhao family from time to time to cause trouble. If she hadn't been concerned about his father being a county lieutenant, she would have had him thrown out long ago.
The main reason why Zhao Qingrui could tolerate him was that this guy had some abilities.
"Why are you coming to my house?" Zhao Qingrui asked unhappily. This guy had already noticed the food problem on his farm.
This has always been a hidden danger to her. This guy is accompanied by a master who seems to be a master of swordsmanship. It is impossible to deal with him.
"Yes, have you seen these things? Of course I'm here to propose marriage." Sheng Guanping curled his lips.
Zhao Qingrui's temples throbbed. Is this guy mentally ill? He has never been kind to this guy. Where on earth does his confidence come from?
Besides, who would go to propose marriage by themselves?
Zhao Qingrui took a deep breath and said, "Speak nicely, or don't blame me for being rude."
This guy is really unrefined.
She is busy now and has no time to play with him.
"Don't be so angry. I really want to marry you." Sheng Guanping didn't care about Zhao Qingrui's angry look at him. Instead, he thought she was still pretty when she was angry.
Zhao Qingrui took another deep breath, "But I don't like you. Take your things and leave my house, or I will throw them out."
"My conditions are not bad, why don't you consider me?"
Zhao Qingrui glanced at him, the meaning was self-evident. She didn't want to talk and didn't consider him. Didn't he have any idea in his mind?
A flash of disappointment flashed in his eyes, and then a cynical smile was put on his face again. "Okay, I won't tease you anymore. I've found the person you asked me to find. This is a gift for you because I saw something I liked when I went to Xianyang. Don't be angry."
Zhao Qingrui gritted his teeth. This guy's father was a county lieutenant and was surrounded by experts. He couldn't be beaten to death.
"Where are they?" Zhao Qingrui asked calmly.
"They are in Xianyang. Why are you interested in them?" Sheng Guanping asked curiously.
A glint of joy flashed in Zhao Qingrui's eyes. "Of course I have my own plans. Thank you in advance. I owe you a favor."
What Zhao Qingrui was looking for were people from the Mohist school. In this era, the craftsmen with the best skills were naturally from the Mohist school and the Gongshu school.
Compared with Gongshujia, Mojia's ideas are closer to hers.
She has the system and modern knowledge in her hands. If she can get help from the Mohist school, it will be more convenient for her to do anything in the future.
She had carpenters and blacksmiths on her farm, but they were still not enough. Moreover, even if she passed on some of her knowledge to them, they would not be able to understand much of it.
The people of the Mohist school are proficient in these skills, so it would definitely be easier for me to impart some modern knowledge to them than to ordinary craftsmen.
Sheng Guanping rolled his eyes and said, "Since you want to thank me, how about treating me to a meal?"
Zhao Qingrui was silent for two seconds. "Okay, I don't like eating outside. You can stay at my house for lunch today."
"Great, I haven't had dinner at your house yet." Sheng Guanping was very happy. He didn't expect such a surprise. It was a historic development.
After asking the cook to prepare some delicious dishes, Zhao Qingrui chatted with Sheng Guanping in the courtyard and listened to him talk about things in Xianyang.
She had never left Jingshui Pavilion since she was a child, which made her want to go to Xianyang in person to see it.
I remember my father said that most of the family’s properties are in Xianyang. I wonder where he is now?
He is old, but still runs around outside all day. No matter how much I try to persuade him, he won’t stop. It gives me a headache just thinking about it.
The Zhao family's food completely conquered Sheng Guanping. It was completely different from the food outside. It was not cooked and the salt was not bitter at all.
Sheng Guanping rubbed his bloated stomach and sighed, "Your chef is amazing. With such skills, he'll definitely make a ton of money if he opens a restaurant."
"Of course." Zhao Qingrui was a little proud. He had taught them all himself.
After seeing Sheng Guanping off, Zhao Qingrui checked the things he had brought. They were all little gadgets that looked pretty good.
I picked up the kitten rubbing against my feet, put it on my legs, scratched its chin, and heard a purring sound. The little guy enjoyed it very much.
This little kitten is a tabby cat. Life is hard these days and not many people keep cats or dogs.
The kitten was abandoned, and she felt sorry for it, so she took it home and raised it.
