my grandfather was qin shi huang

"Yes, yes, your highness is right. In this world, only fine wines and beauties cannot be let down. I have been thinking about the fine wines from Brother Zhao's family for a long time..."

Immediately, many people echoed.

Xing Rang, who hurried back behind him, had just gotten off the carriage with his granddaughter. Before he could get close to him, he heard the emperor's eldest grandson in the crowd joking with everyone with a cheerful face.

"...the only things in the world that cannot be let down are wine and beauty..."

He immediately turned around and warned his granddaughter earnestly.

"Girl, when you look for a husband in the future, you have to keep your eyes open. You can't look for this kind of person. Don't look at people like them who talk nice and say that you can't live up to the fine wine and beautiful women. But in the end, they belong to them. People of this kind are the most ruthless. When you have new people, you forget the old ones..."

Xing Yuer:......

She sighed helplessly.

"Father, wake up, we are here to become a disciple, not to recruit a son-in-law. Besides, even if you want to recruit someone as a son-in-law, they may not like your granddaughter..."

When Xing Rang heard this, he immediately became unhappy. He glared and raised his beard.

"He is a womanizer, why can't he look down on my granddaughter? After searching the entire Zhang County, can he still find a girl more beautiful than my granddaughter? Even if there are just one or two, they have our family. What can Yu'er do with her intelligence? There is no man in this world that our Yu'er is not worthy of!"

After saying that, the old guy couldn't help but look up and glanced at His Highness the Emperor's eldest grandson, who stood out among the crowd, but he had to admit in his heart that this Emperor's eldest grandson, if he wasn't the Emperor's eldest grandson, and if he wasn't so lecherous, he would indeed be considered a great one. A good match for my granddaughter.

He is good-looking, capable of literature and martial arts, has a gentle temper, and speaks well.

However, he quickly put this ridiculous idea behind him. His granddaughter was the treasure of the Xing family. She was to be kept to support the old Xing family's family business. How could she marry someone like the emperor's eldest grandson, and to someone like him? People become concubines.

"Master Xing came so quickly. I was just about to say that if you don't come again, I'm afraid you won't be able to follow up and drink Master Zhao's secret wine..."

Zhao Ying is more than two meters tall, directly taller than everyone around him, and has a wide field of vision. As soon as Xing Rang and his granddaughter got out of the car, he noticed their arrival.

I even heard the old guy saying bad things about himself to his granddaughter.

Therefore, when he said this, he deliberately smiled and cast his gaze on Xing Yu'er behind Xing Rang, but immediately a hint of wonder appeared in his eyes.

Even though he has seen many beauties, when he saw Xing Yu'er in women's clothing, he couldn't help but his eyes lit up. This girl was so beautiful, and her figure was not to be said, even compared with his own wives. Than, I'm afraid not to mention too much.

But what makes her stand out the most is not her facial features or her figure, but her skin.

It’s not that the skin is as white as snow, but that it’s warm and delicate!

The first moment you see her, you can't help but think of one word: warm and fragrant nephrite!

I feel that the reason why these four words were born was naturally prepared for the girl in front of me. It makes you subconsciously want to pinch it and rub it.

Xing Rang didn't know why, but subconsciously moved forward, blocking his granddaughter behind him, then raised his face and smiled along with him.

"Your Majesty, your Majesty is thinking of——"

Then he pulled his granddaughter out from behind, cupped his hands to Mr. Huang Shi, who was looking at his granddaughter curiously, with his hands behind his back, and introduced her.

"This is the granddaughter I just mentioned to my husband——"

After finishing speaking, he said to Xing Yuer.

"Why don't you come and meet sir -"

Xing Yu'er looked at the old man with white hair, childish face and wise eyes in front of him, and fell in love with him.

"Little girl Xing Yu'er, please pay your respects to Mr.——"

Old Man Huangshi nodded with a smile and stretched out his hand to support him.

"You are indeed a rare and rare woman with beautiful appearance and smart mind. No wonder your eldest father would praise you repeatedly in front of me and His Royal Highness..."

Even though Xing Yu'er had a lively temper, her face could not help but turn red at this moment, and she glared at her eldest father with some complaints.

My eldest father is good at everything, but he likes to brag about himself wherever he goes...

Xing Rang was already immune to the look in his granddaughter's eyes.

It should be the praise of my granddaughter.

At this time, almost all the prominent figures in Zhangjun City, from the county guard down, had arrived, intent on spreading their reputation in front of everyone.

He immediately took the package that had been prepared from the driver on the side.

"When I came down, I specially selected some knickknacks from home that this girl usually carves, and asked my husband to take a look at them to see if this girl is worthy of his guidance and training..."

Old Man Huangshi smiled and nodded.

With just one glance, he had already fallen in love with the girl from the Xing family in front of him. Not only is this girl beautiful but smart, she is also very blessed. I am afraid she will have a profound impact on my lineage in the future.

Hearing that Huang Shigong wanted to teach this girl from the Xing family on her craftsmanship, everyone immediately gathered around. The shopkeeper on the side ran back with great eyes, held up a long table, and brought over a rattan mat.

Huang Shigong smiled and nodded his thanks.

"Thank you, shopkeeper -"

Xing Rang was even more direct. He shook his hand and took out a large bunch of copper coins from his arms. He then motioned to the coachman on the side to get a few more coins from the carriage and stuffed them into the hands of the old shopkeeper.

"Thank you for your work. I'll reward you with tea——"

The shopkeeper was also very sensible. When he saw Xing Rang's behavior, he immediately stepped back with the copper coins in his hands and thanked him profusely. Xing Rang then walked up to him, carefully put down the baggage in his hand, and opened it in public.

These are some pieces of beautiful jade with excellent texture.

Of course, everyone present is the top figure in Zhang County. Naturally, they will not be shocked by this. They also know that if Xing lets the old guy take this out, he will not let him. Huang Shigong sees this.

Old Man Huangshi picked up a piece of jade in front of him, looked at it carefully in the sunlight, and then nodded with approval.

"Yes, this piece of jade should be made of Venus jade from western Guizhou. This kind of jade has exquisite texture and looks easy to carve, but it really tests the craftsmanship. Although your knife skills are still a little immature, it is quite spiritual. There are a few knives that I think are quite ingenious, and they are really good at carving jade..."

Hearing Huang Shigong's comments, Xing Rang was already beaming with joy.

With Huang Shigong's words, even if my granddaughter has no chance to worship Huang Shigong today, the price of the jade from my family, especially the jade that my granddaughter carved by herself, will be booming!

While talking, I saw Old Man Huangshi again, picking up an ordinary-looking hosta with a simple style. After looking at it carefully for a while, his eyes were full of admiration that could not be concealed.

"It's amazing, it's so scary to be born in the future——"

After Old Man Huangshi finished speaking, he put down the hosta in his hand, looked at Xing Yu'er who was kneeling beside him with a smile, and spoke in a gentle tone.

"Girl, can you tell me why your hosta is designed like this?"

When Xing Yu'er saw that Huang Shigong had indeed discovered his carefully planned little idea, he was immediately convinced and said respectfully. "Mr. Hui said, this piece of jade looks ordinary, but when viewed from the side, there is something else going on inside. Therefore, the student simply tried to use cunning techniques to restore its ancient charm based on its texture..."

Zhao Ying looked at the hosta in front of him and couldn't help but nod his head.

This is really an excellent hosta, luxurious and restrained, simple and elegant. It looks simple, but the texture and color inside are all first-class. The most rare thing is that this design is not only free of damage Every bit of jade quality makes this hosta even better.

"Yes, it is indeed a treasure of the world, a rare good thing..."

Having said this, Zhao Ying smiled and looked at Xing Rang aside.

"Master Xing, I am very fond of this hosta. I don't know if Master Xing can part with it. I am willing to buy it at a high price..."

Xing Rang saw that Zhao Ying, the emperor's eldest grandson, had taken a fancy to the beautiful jade carved by his granddaughter. He couldn't help but feel overjoyed. He walked forward, carefully put away the jade hairpin just now, and put it into the brocade box aside. Then, this Then he held it in both hands and walked to Zhao Ying.

"It is our Xing family's honor that His Highness is interested in the craftsmanship of our Xing family. I would like to dedicate this item to His Highness, and please accept it with your heart--"

When Zhao Ying saw this, he couldn't help laughing. He stepped forward to take the brocade box from Xing Rang's hand, looked around at everyone and smiled.

"Thank you very much, Head of the Xing family, for your kindness, but if I accept this hosta from you today, wouldn't I become a robber? When I go back, I might have my legs broken by His Majesty..."

What Zhao Ying said was interesting, and everyone naturally cheered and chuckled appropriately.

Before Xing Rang could make any more concessions, Zhao Ying had already handed the brocade box in his hand to Wang Laosi beside him.

"I accept this item, but it must be at the market price, not a penny. When I get back, I will ask the servant next to me to send the money to you..."

Having said this, Zhao Ying paused slightly and turned to look at Xing Yu'er who was looking at him curiously with a smile.

"However, there is one more thing that I need to trouble the girl about..."

Xing Yu'er was a little confused about Zhao Ying's thoughts, and after hearing this, she quickly bowed respectfully.

"Your Highness, despite your orders..."

"Although this jade hairpin is made with exquisite craftsmanship, there is a knife at the bifurcation of the hairpin tail. It seems that the cut is a little shallow, and the charm of this jade cannot be discovered. It is a little bit unsightly. I will have to trouble the girl to add another knife later... "

Although he does not know how to carve jade, he is knowledgeable and knowledgeable. More importantly, his eyesight is far better than ordinary people. He can see these beautiful jade as if they were fire, and he can see every detail.

Xing Yuer:......

When she thought of what her eldest father had just said about the emperor's eldest grandson, she suddenly felt nervous and wondered whether the emperor's eldest grandson wanted to find an excuse to be alone with her, or if he wanted to do something bad. .

Just as he was thinking about whether to refuse, he heard a somewhat surprised voice from the old man Huangshi on the side.

"I'm really blind. I didn't expect that Your Highness has mastered the art of jade carving to such an extent! Even I spent a long time looking at that flaw before I discovered it. I didn't expect that His Highness discovered the flaw with just one glance! "

Zhao Ying looked back and saw that not only the old man Huangshi, but also Xu Fu opened his mouth in surprise.

Zhao Ying couldn't help but laugh, waved his hand casually, and said sincerely.

"I am not proficient in the art of jade, I just happened to discover something..."

However, with the facts and the endorsement of Old Man Huangshi, his reputation as a jade master will definitely not go away. Zhao Ying could only smile bitterly when he saw this.

If I had known earlier, I might as well have shut up.

Just now, Old Man Huangshi had already planned to accept Xing Yu'er as his apprentice. Now seeing Xing Yu'er's performance, he was even more satisfied and immediately looked at Xing Yu'er with a smile.

"I have a volume of the "Engraved Heavenly Book" here, which I intend to give to you. I wonder if you are willing to..."

Hearing this, Xing Yu'er couldn't help but be overjoyed. She stepped forward and bowed to the ground respectfully in front of everyone.

"Student Xing Yu'er, meet the teacher!"

……

Although the head of the Zhao family, Zhao Chi, said that his family was good at nothing but fine wine, his family's mansion was no less impressive than the Jiangnan wealthy families that Zhao Ying had seen.

Covering an area of ​​dozens of acres, it has magnificent houses, large buildings, heavy curtains, pavilions, small bridges and flowing water. It is like a garden full of Jiangnan style.

Not to mention anything else, just this yard alone would cost a lot of money.

For some reason, those hungry people in ragged clothes and disheveled faces suddenly appeared in front of Zhao Ying's eyes. I also suddenly remembered an ancient article that I had learned in later generations.

"The one who destroyed the Six Kingdoms was the Six Kingdoms, not Qin!"

With these wealthy and aristocratic families lying on Chu State's body to suck blood, isn't the demise of Chu State very reasonable?

Because there were so many people, Zhao Chi did not invite them to the living room, but directly led them to his back garden.

Although it was the middle of winter, the Zhao family's back garden was still lush with vegetation, and even covered with exotic flowers and grasses, which made Zhao Ying couldn't help but take a few more glances.

Wang Laosi, who was following behind him, was even more dumbfounded.

I almost suspected that I had entered the residence of a god. I never thought that a person's home could be so big. I never thought that a person could live in such a beautiful house. I also couldn't understand why it was so cold in the Zhao family's yard. Can bloom...

Zhao Ying's ecstasy obviously caused Zhao Chi to misunderstand, thinking that the emperor's eldest grandson had never seen these arrangements in his yard.

I couldn't help but feel a little complacent in my heart. How could these barbarians in Guanzhong know these elegant things? However, a reserved and humble smile appeared on his face, and he explained very considerately.

"I had people build a kang in the yard. There are dedicated servants watching and controlling the temperature twelve hours a day. Therefore, even though it is the coldest month of winter, the yard is as warm as spring, without affecting the plants and trees at all. It’s growing. In your spare time, it’s more convenient to come to this yard to relax..."

When Zhao Ying heard this, he raised his eyebrows slightly and praised with a smile.

"It is indeed a wealthy family that has been passed down for hundreds of years. Every plant, every tree, every flower and every stone really opened my eyes -"

Zhao Chi thought Zhao Ying was marveling at his family's heritage, so he shook his head and smiled quite reservedly.

"It makes His Highness laugh. In fact, these are ordinary arrangements. I just want to learn from them and follow them to be arty..."

Zhao Ying nodded.

"Zhang County is rich in natural treasures and rich in resources and people. You can see it just by looking at the decorations in your house..."

There is a back garden with pavilions and pavilions, as well as ready-made seats.

A group of people sat around Zhao Ying and Old Man Huangshi. A handsome maid was already waiting aside, bringing tea and water, snacks and fruits. There was also a graceful singing girl not far away, accompanied by the melodious sound of silk and bamboo. Singing and dancing there.

Unspeakable joy and joy.

"The house is humble and the hospitality is poor. Please forgive me..."
