Marquis Jinqian looked at the people in the hall. When everyone was present, he said with a sullen face, "Today, the wine of the Jinqian Winery was stopped by the Royal Winery. Shopkeeper Tu went to ask, and the shopkeeper of the Royal Winery said that someone in our mansion offended their boss, so our wine was stopped. I asked directly, who among you has offended someone recently without knowing it?"
Everyone looked at each other, because everyone was guessing that the boss behind the Royal Winery was the royal family, so the prince said, "I haven't offended anyone in the royal family recently."
"Neither have I."
County Lord Xiangyu: "I haven't, and they don't dare to offend me." She is the emperor's cousin.
"No."
"I haven't been out recently."
In other words, what everyone meant was that none of them had offended anyone in the royal family.
Shi Jie said, "In fact, no one knows who the owner of the Royal Winery is. You have to know who the owner is to know if anyone has offended him. And to know who the owner is, you have to know who the owner of the shop is, and you have to go to Jingzhao Yin."
So, Jin Qianhou went to Jingzhao Mansion.
The Yin was not surprised at Jin Qianhou's arrival: "Your Highness, your arrival really makes this humble place glorious."
Jin Qianhou and Yin exchanged pleasantries for a while, and then asked directly: "Sir, I want to know who the owner of the shop in the Royal Winery is. I wonder if you can make some concessions?"
Yin said very accommodatingly: "It's the emperor. It's the emperor's private property."
This made Jin Qianhou stunned. In other words, it was the emperor who stopped the wine of Jin Qian Winery? So... someone in the Hou Mansion offended the emperor? Marquis Jin Qian thought it was wrong. Who would be so bold as to offend the emperor?
Although he was a little confused, Marquis Jin Qian still returned to the mansion. Everyone in the mansion was waiting. When they saw Marquis Jin Qian coming, the Marquis's wife asked first: "Marquis, have you found out the news?"
Marquis Jin Qian said: "The prefect said that the owner of the shop in the Royal Winery is the emperor, and the shop is the emperor's private property. So if there is no accident, the winery should belong to the emperor. Who of you offended the emperor?" Although he asked this, his eyes were fixed on the county lord of Xiangyu. According to Marquis Jin Qian's idea, no one in their mansion had the courage to offend the emperor, except the county lord of Xiangyu.
The head of Xiangyu County thought of her affair with Yang Haiyan, and she was immediately unhappy. The emperor scolded her for this matter, but he even stopped the wine supply of Jinqian Wine House? But she did not dare to answer the question of Marquis Jinqian.
Marquis Jinqian snorted coldly: "It doesn't matter if you don't confess now. I will go to the palace to ask the emperor. If it turns out that one of you did it, the man will be expelled from the clan and the woman will be divorced." As he said, he stood up.
"No, father." The head of Xiangyu County was frightened and stopped in front of Marquis Jinqian.
Suddenly, everyone's eyes stopped on her.
The prince: "County Lord, it can't be you?"
"If it was the county Lord who made a mistake and offended the emperor, the emperor should punish the Tian family. Why punish our Marquisate?"
Marquis Jin Qian asked: "Xiang Yu, how did you offend the emperor? Tell me everything, and don't think about making up rumors. I will go to the palace to ask the emperor about this matter."
County Lord Xiang Yu did not dare to hide it. After all, the emperor knew it. What's the point of hiding it? So, she told the whole story.
Marquis Jin Qian learned that she was punished by the emperor because she offended Yang Haiyan, and she didn't react yet. Shi Jie suddenly remembered something and said, "Father, I want to talk to you in private."
Marquis Jin Qian glanced at him and nodded, "Come with me to the study."
When they arrived at the study, Marquis Jin Qian asked, "What do you want to talk about?"
Shi Jie did not hide it and told them how he met Qin Fang and Yang Haiyan before, "So, father, this royal winery is most likely the winery of Madam Bingyun. If it is the emperor, and our wine supply has been cut off because of this incident, it seems..."
It doesn't seem like something a king would do.
Then, Marquis Jinqian asked: "Why would the emperor let Madam Bingyun sell wine in his shop?"
Everyone was not stupid, Shi Jie's eyes widened: "You mean, the emperor also has a share in this winery?"
Marquis Jinqian: "Have you forgotten the imperial grain plan? Madam Bingyun came up with potato flour and sweet potato flour, but the emperor was the beneficiary of the imperial grain plan. The relationship between the emperor and the Qin family is not simple."
Shi Jie: "What should we do?"
Marquis Jinqian: "I will go to the mansion of Marquis Cheng'en."
Qin Mansion
Yang Haiyan: "What did you say? Who is here?"
The servant said: "Madam Jinqian and the wife of the prince of Marquis Cheng'en are here with the county lord of Xiangyu." The wife of the prince of Marquis Cheng'en is the mother of the county lord of Xiangyu.
Yang Haiyan knew what they were doing here, and she wanted to turn them away, but she couldn't. After all, Duke Cheng'en's Mansion was the emperor's in-laws, and Marquis Jinqian had served as a successor. No matter how much the emperor valued Qin Fang, the premise was that you couldn't make the emperor lose face. She could deal with the County Lord Xiangyu, and even lose the County Lord Xiangyu's face, but she couldn't turn away the wife of the prince of Duke Cheng'en and the wife of Marquis Jinqian.
Yang Haiyan said, "You're welcome."
After a while, the wife of the prince of Duke Cheng'en, the wife of Marquis Jinqian, and the County Lord Xiangyu came. The first two were polite and smiling. Yang Haiyan observed carefully and didn't find that they had ulterior motives. It was the County Lord Xiangyu who had a dirty look on his face. The county lady Xiangyu was indeed unwilling to accept this. She was the cousin of the emperor, but she had to apologize to a maid. Why?
She didn't know. It was based on her ability. The emperor could have many cousins, but there might not be another Yang Haiyan who could make money for him.
The wife of the prince of Cheng'en pulled the county lady Xiangyu, and then said with a smile: "I have heard that Madam Bingyun is a woman who is as capable as men. Today, I see that her reputation is indeed worthy of her. Speaking of which, since the appearance of potato flour and sweet potato flour, everyone in the family likes to eat them." The wife of the Marquis of Jinqian
followed up and said: "Yes, I like to eat them too."
Yang Haiyan also smiled and said: "They are just some small things I make on weekdays. It's great that the two ladies like them."
The wife of the prince of Cheng'en said: "Madam Bingyun "To be honest, I came here today because of Xiangyu's matter. I spoiled this child since she was young. I am really sorry for doing such a stupid thing. As a mother, I want to apologize to you first."
Yang Haiyan said, "Madam, you are too polite. The county lord did a stupid thing, but since you have apologized for your daughter, I will not care. Don't worry."
The smile of the wife of the prince of Cheng'en froze. She really came to apologize. What her daughter did was stupid. However, as an elder, she apologized to a younger person. She shouldn't have this tone, right? "Yes... yes, thank you very much, Madam Bingyun."
Yang Haiyan didn't care about the other party's expression. Even if the other party came to apologize sincerely, she was right. It was natural for parents to take responsibility for their daughter's wrongdoing. After all, such a daughter was raised by her parents. Therefore, she could accept the apology from the wife of the prince of Cheng'en.
When Xiangyu County Lord saw that Yang Haiyan was speaking to her mother in such a disrespectful way, she immediately got angry and asked, "What do you mean by that?"
Yang Haiyan smiled slightly, "I don't understand what the county lord said. Madam apologized on behalf of the county lord, and I accepted Madam's apology. Did I do something wrong? Or should I not accept Madam's apology?"
"You..."
"Madam Bingyun is right." The wife of the Prince of Cheng'en held her daughter, "Xiangyu, you apologize too."
"Mother..."
"Apologize, have you forgotten what your father said?" If she doesn't apologize, the county lord's title will be gone.
A proud person like Xiangyu County Lord cannot accept the county lord's title being taken back, so if you compare it this way, then the apology is nothing. "I'm sorry." Xiangyu County Lord apologized with gritted teeth.
Yang Haiyan still had a smile on her face: "It's okay."
Lady Jinqian said: "Madam Bingyun, there will be a flower show in our mansion next year. Please come and attend."
Yang Haiyan said politely: "Thank you for your invitation. It is my honor. As long as I am free, I will definitely come. But Bingyun is not very knowledgeable. If I disturb your flower viewing, please forgive me."
Lady Jinqian said: "Don't blame me. In fact, I don't have much knowledge. We Before the Marquis, the Marquis's Mansion was originally a merchant family. Everyone said that we were full of the smell of copper, and I was worried that the lady would dislike us. "
When Yang Haiyan heard this, she felt that the wife of the Marquis of Jinqian was interesting: "The smell of copper is not bad, after all, without silver, nothing can be done."
When the wife of the Marquis of Jinqian heard this, she felt that what Yang Haiyan said was very right: "Madam is very reasonable."
As a result, the wife of the Marquis of Jinqian and Yang Haiyan started chatting, and the wife of the prince of Cheng'en and the county lord of Xiangyu were on the side to accompany them.
After chatting for a while, they said goodbye, and Yang Haiyan personally saw them to the door. After sending them away, Yang Haiyan sent someone to the Royal Winery to lift the ban on the Jinqian Wine House. Since they were here, one was the emperor's aunt and the other was the wife of the Marquis of Jinqian, they had to give them face.
However, somehow the news leaked out, and since then, everyone knew that although this Lady Bingyun was born as a maid, she was definitely not someone who could be easily bullied. In addition, Qin Fang was highly regarded by the emperor, and anyone with a brain would not come to make Yang Haiyan unhappy. After all, there were few people as brainless as the county lord Xiangyu in the huge capital.
Five years later
During these five years, the Qin family was very peaceful. Unlike the male protagonist in the original plot, who was liked by various noble ladies, Qin Fang's facial features did not meet the aesthetic standards of women in this world, so those mistresses and concubines did not happen in Yang Haiyan's life. During these five years, the Qin family never held various banquets, so their life was very peaceful.
Similarly, because of gunpowder, the border of Qi State was also very peaceful, because no other country dared to challenge the power of gunpowder. At the same time, Qi State did not go to war with foreign countries because of gunpowder, because gunpowder was limited. If Qi State went to war with foreign countries because of gunpowder, if it attracted the alliance of other countries, it would be a loss.
