Chapter 697

Watching the caravan loading rattan products in person, Qing Luo called the other empty carriage to Qili Village to load a carriage full of wine.

When the escort saw the wine brought out, his eyes straightened.

These wines are not packed in wooden barrels, but in transparent bottles designed by Qingluo and sent to Liulichang for firing.

The outside of the bottle is painted with various forms of beauties, which are lifelike.

Naturally, it was also written by Qingluo.

The exquisite transparent bottle contains the red wine like nectar, which is like a work of art.

"What kind of valuables is this?" The driver who escorted the carriage didn't dare to reach out to pick it up, "Elder Elder, do you want to ask the four shopkeepers Lin to invite a bodyguard team to escort it?"

Rongcheng laughed.

Apart from Qingluo, he is the only one who knows the price of wine best.

In terms of the purchase price of those grapes, these wines are not worth as much as those pictures of ladies drawn by Qingluo.

At any rate, Qingluo is also the leader of Wenxiu handpicked by His Majesty, and when her calligraphy and paintings are taken out, many people rush to buy and collect them.

Seeing Rong Cheng's weird smile, the coachman was confused for a while, but he kindly persuaded him: "Elder Elder, these things are precious, so you should be careful! You don't know, the bandits along this road are also quite rampant... ..."

Qing Luo wondered: "Why, do your caravans often encounter robbers?"

"Hey, it's not often." The driver sighed, "Our Chen Jinji is not bad, we have to pay those big robbers a favor every year, and they still keep their promises and won't rob them for ordinary goods. But If they encounter expensive goods, they don’t care about them at all, and just grab them... What can we do? We can’t let the Chen family send people to suppress the bandits..."

After all, the Chen family is still from the Northern Qi Dynasty.

If they dared to send armed forces in, it was tantamount to provoking the Great Zhou court.

Da Zhou would never allow them to enter.

This is human nature, Qing Luo was surprised by another thing.

"You said you would give benefits to the robbers every year?"

"Yes. I also listened to the shopkeeper, oh, the old shopkeeper Yu Da mentioned it once..." the coachman said helplessly, "In fact, not only our Chen Jinji, but most caravans do this. Otherwise, the robbers would grab it if they saw it." , how do we still do business?"

Rong Cheng asked, "Did you report it to the court?"

The court's crackdown on bandits is still very strong.

How can you tolerate the existence of so many robbers?

And openly asking for benefits from the caravan, what does this look like?
"Hey, look at what you said, how could you not report it?" The coachman shook his head, "It's useless! The court will indeed send people down after reporting it, but most of them have nothing to say. That's all. If the bandits know about it, they will intensify their efforts, not only asking for more benefits, but also increasing the number of robberies. My lord, if this continues, who will dare to report to the court again?"

Qing Luo stroked her chin and asked, "Do you know which bandits are mainly active in which area?"

The coachman thought for a while: "Although I haven't encountered it, I heard from others that there are many robbers around Yong County. There are also some places, but there are still more in Yong County."

Yong County.

interesting……

Qingluo read this name, a strange light flashed in her eyes.

She asked Rong Cheng for a pen and paper, wrote a letter to the coachman, and said, "Give the letter to Shopkeeper Lin. Remember, it must be handed over to him."

"Elder, don't worry, the little one has always done things safely. I will definitely hand it over to the big shopkeeper myself." The coachman hurriedly picked it up, carefully wrapped it in oiled paper, and put it in his arms.

When the coachman took away a cart of wine, Rong Cheng asked half-jokingly, "Aren't you afraid of being robbed by robbers?"

"Then give them a taste." Qingluo smiled half-truthfully, "If they are not afraid of my poison."

Rongcheng opened his mouth wide: "You put poison in the wine? When? Why didn't I know?"

Qingluo explained to him seriously: "It was injected from the cork with a hollow gold needle."

"Really? Don't scare me, I'm timid..." Rong Cheng's jaw dropped, and he couldn't close his mouth for a long time.

Qingluo: "I think you're very courageous, when do you plan to marry Guixiang? Her wedding dress is all embroidered, how long will you let her go?"

The topic changed so quickly that Rongcheng couldn't react, and said anxiously: "I said Fairy, you are telling the truth with me! Did you put any medicine in the wine? It's going to be sold!"

"Why do you have no sense of humor?"

Qingluo felt very bored, turned around and left.

"Mom..."

Only then did Rongcheng heave a sigh of relief, and then he felt a chill on his back, and he broke out in a cold sweat unknowingly.

He took out a sweat towel to wipe off his sweat, and said to himself, "Although she looks like a fairy, she acts like a witch. It's too scary... Hey, I can't bear it. I'd better marry Guixiang." It's more reassuring..."

Who knows if the fairy is unhappy one day and will add some ingredients to his meal?

Rongcheng wiped his sweat, and decided to look through the old imperial calendar immediately when he got home, and set the date of marriage!
Qing Luo, who accidentally made a marriage happen, didn't know anything about it, she was just wandering around the fields with nothing to do.

Now the weaving factory has shipped a batch of goods, and the wine production is also going smoothly.

As long as it is shipped out by the Chen family's caravan, I believe sales should not be a problem.

She calculated the accounts carefully. After this wave, the villagers in each village made a small fortune, so it should not be a big problem for the tax after the autumn.

The serious problem in her heart was solved, the villages were thriving again, the county government was in order, and no troubles, big or small, dared to bother her again.

Her life suddenly fell into a rare calm. -
Just as she was looking at the sky and the earth to see the scenery, big trouble appeared.

"What are you doing again?" She looked at Lan Hao, who was dressed in white, with a malicious look on her face.

Ever since she pushed Lan Hao down on the bed that time, Lan Hao seemed to have been frightened, and he stopped pestering her for a long time and asked her to marry him.

Qingluo thought that this problem was solved, but she never thought that this guy would dare to appear in front of her.

"I have something to ask for you." Lan Hao had a straight face, eyes looking at the sky, and pointed his chin at her.

Qing Luo was a little amused: "What's the matter, let's talk."

"Don't come near me." Lan Hao took two steps back, keeping a safe distance from her, and then said, "Your parents asked you to go there."

"Don't go!"

Qingluo knew that he was referring to Mr. Zhou and Mei Ruohua, so she refused without thinking.

Ever since they openly exposed the Liu family's affairs, causing the Liu family to no longer accept her, she always felt that she didn't want to see the two of them.

She still loves and respects Mr. Zhou, but right now, she just wants to make life easier for herself.

She made up her mind not to see them for the time being.

However, Lan Hao's words made her change her mind immediately.
