Chapter 125 To go or stay?

Fruits are abundant in the Western Regions, especially in Hami and other places. In her previous life, Qin Zhao knew that Xinjiang is the origin of 80.00% of the world’s fruits. He heard that there are more than 100 kinds of apples in Xinjiang. Until she left Liangzhou It was only after a year or two that she remembered that although this time and space was not the time and space of her previous life, the characters were the same, and the geography was not bad. Thinking of it, maybe the northwest border where she is located, near the Anxi Dufu Mansion and Beiting Duhu Mansion, there should also be a lot of fruits.

A kind of courgette that the royal family of the Kingdom of David loves to eat is produced in Hami. In fact, it is the cantaloupe that Qin Zhao used to eat in his previous life. After A Tie brought back a basket from the Anxi Dufu Mansion, Qin Zhao remembered this matter. , so he asked A Tietuo to entrust the caravan to help her pay attention to collecting some vegetable and fruit seeds that Datang did not have.Although the geographical environment of the lands of Xizai and the hinterland of the Kingdom of David are different, it is not certain that the trial planting cannot be successful.If it can be successfully planted, it will not only enrich the dining table of the common people, but it may also be a good way to make a fortune.

In addition, the Anxi Duhu Mansion is rich in white folded cloth. Although people in the Central Plains seldom use it, it is indeed a good thing, but no one has vigorously promoted it yet.Qin Zhao also asked Ah Tie to pay attention to how the raw materials of the white fold cloth are grown, as well as the weaving process. It would be best if there is a way to master it.

In fact, white folded cloth is also cotton cloth, which is softer and warmer than linen, Gebu, or even kapok cloth. Nowadays, people in Northwest China mostly use white folded cloth as the lining and middle coat of their clothes if the conditions are better.

Ah Tie has never compromised in doing what Qin Zhao ordered. Qin Zhao left Zhujiazhuang for half a year, and Ah Tie has collected a lot of fruit seeds, and even started a white cloth business.At the end of the new year, planning the time for the caravan to arrive at Chang'an City from Anxi Protectorate's Mansion, they rushed to the day, prepared a few truckloads of goods, and entrusted the caravan to the Prince's Mansion.Not only that, but Heizi's older brother, A Shu, was also specially sent to accompany him.

Because of this, Ba Jie begged him for a long time, hoping to go to Chang'an City with A Shu this time, first to visit A ​​Zhao, and second to go to Chang'an City, the most prosperous city in the world, to gain experience.

But he was ruthlessly rejected by Ah Tie.Bajie will definitely be sent to the capital in the future, but not now.

His business is the most important thing to expand. Bajie is in charge of several shops in Anxi. How can he leave easily as a big shopkeeper?

Chang'an City... Ah Tie thought, one day, not only Bajie, but also him, they will all go.

Ah Zhao is there.There, Chang'an City, the upper capital of the Kingdom of David, and the most prosperous city in the world, are their goals.

Several carts of native products, two carts of white folded cloth, two carts of leather materials of various colors, several boxes of seeds sorted and written on how to plant them, set off from Anxi City and slowly came to Chang'an City.It's just that Qin Zhao didn't know it at this time.

Lived in Luo's food fief for a few days.It was deep winter, and her life was very simple during this time. She went back to the palace in Chang'an City every tenth day to live for two days, helped Princess Jinyang manage the accounts of the oil shop, checked the tea shop that had started renovation, and spent the rest of the time , and at the Luo family’s villa, before dawn in the morning, he followed Luo Che to learn marksmanship, had breakfast, and was guarded by Shan Xiaoying. Together with You Jia Erlang and Chen Jinwu, he wandered around the villa and hunted some prey to improve the situation. Food, sometimes it takes a day to go.When not going out, he would stay in the courtyard while basking in the sun while chatting with Roche.Or burn a small red clay pot under the winter sun in the afternoon, take clear spring water from the mountains, and cook a few courses of tea.The days are very leisurely and leisurely.

On this day, Princess Jinyang sent a steward to invite her back to the palace. She was supposed to be escorted by Shan Xiaoying, but You Erlang got news on an errand and wanted to return to the city. In addition to Chen Jinwu, Luo Che let Shan Xiaoying Eagle stayed.Qin Zhao and the others didn't think much about it, there were always guards coming and going, and she didn't really treat Shan Xiaoying as a bodyguard.

After Qin Zhao and others left Zhuangzi, Luo Che asked Shan Xiaoying to be invited to the study.

Shan Xiaoying saluted Luo Che respectfully, Fang said: "I don't know what the Duke's order is for calling the villain over."

Rocher looked at him for a while.

Although Roche usually had a cold face in front of the juniors, it didn't make people feel pressured, it was just his personality.But if he really showed the murderous look in his eyes on the battlefield for many years, his eyes were as cold as Shura's, and I'm afraid there are not many people in this world who can be calm under his gaze.

But Shan Xiaoying was only about twenty years old, but he was calm and unhurried, with a respectful and indifferent smile on his face.

Only then did Luo Che look back, pointing to the mat and said, "Sit down, Ah Zhao and the others are not here today, you and my grandpa and grandson have a good talk."

"A villain dare not be a grandpa and grandson of the country. If the country has something to say, just order it." Shan Xiaoying said indifferently.

Seeing that he was not sitting down, Luo Che also got up from the couch and said angrily, "How long are you going to hide it from Ah Zhao?"

"The villain can't understand the words of the Duke of the country. Since the villain has been enshrined by the princess, he will follow the princess's lead and dare not deceive him in the slightest."

Roche smiled angrily: "Yes, you did not deceive, but you did."

"The princess has never asked, so why should the villain talk about it? Why did the Duke of the country bother? Now that she is the princess, I will protect her for the rest of my life. Isn't this... not good?"

"What kind of hero is your grandfather? You are a villain, but you are worthy of him in the sky?" Roche yelled angrily, "What do you mean that this old man is unnecessary? You are indeed very skilled, and now the world can beat you, I am afraid There are not many people, but this is the reason for your arrogance? Do you think that with the strength of our family, we can't find a better guard than you?"

"The villain dare not be so arrogant. Don't talk about others, at least the villain is not absolutely sure that he has won the Duke."

Luo Che sneered: "Are you really unwilling to tell Ah Zhao your real identity?"

"I also hope that the Duke of the country will make it happen." Shan Xiaoying was silent for a moment before writing a song for Luo Che.

Roche heaved a long sigh, and the coldness on his face disappeared. For a moment, Shan Xiaoying even felt that this old man who was hailed as the God of War by all the Davids was not the world's great hero praised by everyone at this time. He turned out to be strong Joss, there are times when he is weak and tired.

"It has been decades since the founding of the country, and the past events have all disappeared. Your Majesty is a saint who is hard to find through the ages. He deserves the title of Emperor of the World. Although your grandfather was an enemy of him and did not surrender until his death, your Majesty is the only one who has never surrendered." I cherish your grandfather's talents. You may not know about the events of those years, but you were just deceived... The Shan family has your lineage, and I think you are considered a hero, even compared to your grandfather. It's not inferior in the slightest. Even if Second Brother Shan is alive in the sky, he should be smiling. After all, those people back then, dead or not, except for my old man and me, all owe you a great deal of love to the Shan family With the strength of all our families, why don't you worry about not having a good background? It's a pity that your Uncle Qin went away a few years ago. If he is still alive, knowing that Second Brother Shan has a descendant, and his grandson is also so outstanding, it should be How happy? You...you kid..."

When Rocher said this, he couldn't continue.

Back then, Shan Xiaoying's grandfather, and their second brother Shan Xiong Wenzhao, was the one who personally threw the beheading token, Luo Che, now after facing the old man, he only felt heartache unbearably.

In his life, whether it was good or bad, he never cared about what the world would say.He has never regretted even making a vicious reputation.Only in the matter of Shan Xiong's death, even though he didn't regret it, every time he thinks about it, it hurts deeply.

That is the real hero in the troubled world, the hero who is broken by the hearts of the heroes in the world, but it is a pity that they have different ways and do not seek schemes.

It is said that there are three sworn brothers in Taoyuan, which one will last forever?
Roche couldn't continue, turned around, turned his back to Shan Xiaoying for a while, then turned his head and said to Shan Xiaoying: "Is there anyone else at home?"

Shan Xiaoying's heart is also extremely complicated at this time.

The Shan family clearly has a family hatred with the David Kingdom, and those heroes of the generation who once dominated the situation, but unfortunately, they can't hate it, and they can't forget it. This is the fate of the Shan family.

Ah Zhao is his only relative in this world now, she can live happily, what right does he have to deprive her of happiness and make her bear things that shouldn't belong to her?
He knew that he had an aunt when he was young, and it wasn't until recent years that he found out some news. He went north from Lingnan all the way, went straight to Guanzhong, and arrived near Chang'an City. A few days ago, he found out that his aunt had a daughter who was his direct relative. This cousin was taken care of by Chen, Qin, Luo, Li, Xu, Qi, and You. She was adopted as an adopted daughter by the Chen family of the Duke of Lu's mansion, and later married the second son of the Qin family in the side-by-side royal mansion. , and gave birth to a daughter.It's just that this cousin died unexpectedly a few years ago, and the daughter she gave birth to was also living outside. This summer, she returned to the capital and recognized her ancestors.

Hearing the strangeness of his aunt's death, he wanted to find out the cause of death, and then he heard that the cousin he had never met not only returned to Beijing, but was also appointed as the princess by His Majesty, with [-] households in the city, so he was relieved .He also knows that only princes and daughters can be crowned princesses in history. If they are not born as princes of the clan, either the family has made great contributions to the country, or they are descendants who are deeply loved by the emperor. Noble, it can be seen that the life is not bad.

After receiving the news, he thought about it for a long time, because this girl is his only blood relative in the world, he still decided to enter Chang'an City, hoping to find a chance to meet her from afar.If she really lived a good life, and the honor she enjoys is worthy of the title of her princess, then he has also made up his mind. From now on, whether he is his refugee or thieves, he will have nothing to worry about.

Who knew that as soon as he entered the city, he would meet the carriage of the Duke of Yue's mansion.

Although he was born in the mountains, he has learned all kinds of skills. His teacher was a famous general in the previous dynasty, so he is definitely not an ordinary ignorant commoner. In addition, his life experience, whether it is a teacher or a dead mother, has never been hidden from him. , Naturally, he is no stranger to today's court affairs, so when he sees the car driving with the flag of the Duke of Yue's mansion, he knows that it is the Duke of Yue's trip.

Luo Che, the Duke of Yue, was the closest brother to his grandfather besides the Duke of Lu and the Side-by-Shoulder King.

He has been lonely since he was a child, and he has no complaints about these families.

So without even thinking about it, he blocked the way of the carriage.As for what to do after blocking the car, he didn't think deeply about it at the time.

The one who didn't want to get off the carriage was not the old Duke Luo himself, but the girl from Duke Lu's mansion, and the young man riding on the carriage who accompanied him was also a descendant of the You family.

When Chen Jinwu jumped off the carriage, he already had some regrets. He didn't want to attack that girl when she came up, and her skill was pretty good, but why did he ever put such a spoiled girl in his eyes?After one move, he wanted to leave, but he didn't want his sister, whom he had missed for a long time, to jump out of the car.Although he has never met her before, he already knew when she told her mother's surname that she was dressed in a bright red dress, with a face as beautiful as the moon, a pair of bright and bright phoenix eyes, and a smile like clouds parting the sun. The girl is her only relative in this world.

This girl knew that she couldn't beat him, so she made a bet, knowing that this girl was setting her up, but he also agreed in a strange way, and naturally he lost. He wanted to take a look from a distance, but he Then he left the Great Wall, and from then on, the world was his bed, and he went to live a carefree life, but looking at this girl, maybe it was a natural blood relationship. accepted.

You must know that although she is a princess, she is still young and lives in the palace. Even in the future, there is no possibility of opening a palace. After all, the princess is not a princess, and only after she is married can she be eligible to be enshrined.But this girl said ridiculously that she wanted to ask him to be an enshrinement.

He thought that this girl was different from him after all, if it wasn't for this opportunity, maybe he wouldn't have the chance to get along with her in this life, so he might as well follow her words, agree to come down and take care of her for a period of time, and leave when he is sure that she is really doing well .In fact, he didn't know that these were just excuses. Just looking at her lively and cheerful personality, he knew that she had a good life in Chang'an.

As for his surname, he never deliberately concealed it, just because he felt it was unnecessary.Luo Che is so wise that he is close to a demon, who in the world doesn't know?Even if he hides it, I'm afraid he can't hide it from his old man, it's better to let everything take its course.

Of course, this uncle did not disappoint him, he endured it for nearly a month before he was brought in for a formal showdown.

It's just that he really never thought about finding a fame for himself with the help of these families.

It's not that he resents these families, but that he himself is used to living a leisurely life, and he really doesn't care about those riches and splendors.

"When my grandfather was imprisoned, my grandmother escaped from the rebels with the help of the court lady, but she was separated from my aunt and grandmother. A few days later, the father who gave birth to his grandnephew was only injured during childbirth. When my father was six years old, my grandmother died of illness. Before my grandfather was alive, this uncle took my father to the land of Lingnan, and my father was brought up by this uncle. After marrying my grandnephew's mother, my father was not used to the climate of Lingnan, and his health has been in poor health. Shortly after the marriage, she also left. My mother was pregnant with my grandnephew at that time, and later...after my nephew was born, my mother also left. The grandnephew was raised by the uncle, and even taught the grandnephew all skills. When the grandnephew was 16 years old , the uncle passed away, and the nephew and grandnephew came all the way from Lingnan to Chang'an because they heard that the uncle said that there was another cousin who was entrusted by the aunt to several uncles in the capital to raise him. I just found out that my aunt has passed away. Fortunately, there is still a cousin left behind. This time when I came to Beijing, I just wanted to find out how my aunt was doing. I didn’t want to meet Uncle Luo driving me just after I entered the city. So I met my aunt and cousin. These days, my nephew and grandson know that she is doing well. Uncle Luo treats her with great pity and love. She is naturally romantic, extremely intelligent, and is loved by all the old people. My nephew and grandson are relieved. These days, I still want to Looking for an excuse to leave, I don't want Uncle Luo to find out that the boy is heresy. I hope Uncle Luo can cover up the matter of the boy."

Seeing that he was willing to call himself grandnephew after all, Rocher recognized each other's identities.I also saw that although he was usually calm, he didn't hide his inner madness. At this moment, his words were extremely sincere, and there was no resentment that was concealed and unobserved a few days ago. Also quite relieved.

Ordinarily, this child's grandfather was a powerful man, and his grandmother was even more noble as a princess in troubled times, but now he is not even as good as a commoner, just a refugee, even if he is used to the world, he can't help sighing.But let him go just like that, let alone other people, but after old brother Chen finds out, he might blame him for being cold-hearted.Although he never cared what others thought of him, he didn't want old Chen to still have regrets in his life when he was old.If you can keep this child and give him a good future, after all, those who are alive will feel some comfort in their hearts.It would not be possible to go underground and be unable to face the second brother Shan.

Thinking of this, Roche said: "Since you call me uncle, you are considered my nephew. As an elder, how can I allow you to mess around again? After all, you are young. Although life is short, it is long, and you don't want your whole life Doing nothing, you will not be able to explain to your Shan family ancestors in the future, right? You have no intention of fame and wealth. Since I saw you, I can't tell you to just leave. At least you stay in the capital and buy a family property. As for what you want to do What, just do it according to your mind, we old men will never interfere with you."

"Uncle Luo really doesn't have to be like this, nephew..."

Seeing that he was still talking, Roche waved his hand and said, "Do you really think that child Azhao is innocent and carefree? Do you really think that she was raised in a deep boudoir like that ordinary girl of eleven or twelve years old? Are you ignorant of the world? Why don't you think about it, although she looks innocent and smart, but has she ever done something wrong, even half wayward? You have inquired about her situation and know that she has just returned to the palace. Presumably, you also know about the fact that she disappeared and wandered in the countryside in the past few years?"

"What does uncle mean?" Shan Xiaoying's face changed color in vain when he heard this.

When he inquired about Ah Zhao's situation, and learned that his cousin had died, and that Ah Zhao had also been living outside for several years, he was puzzled in his heart, and he knew it for a reason, but after meeting Qin Zhao, she really didn't behave like a person who had suffered a lot. The child, his words and deeds, his character and demeanor are a bit stronger than the average noble girl, so he let go of his doubts.In addition, after getting along for so many days, seeing that everyone treats her well is indeed out of sincerity. Even an indifferent person like Luo Guogong can't help but smile when he sees her. Chen Jinwu was born in a noble family. She also has a strong and conceited character, but she treats Ah Zhao as if she were her own sister. From this, it can be seen that she must have a good life in the palace.Who would have thought that Roche would actually ask such a question?
This old man is by no means a casual person, there is a reason for asking him like this.

When Luo Che asked, he only sneered and said: "If you really want to leave, I won't force you to stay, but in this world, you only have one blood relative, Ah Zhao, and no matter how smart she is, she is only eleven or twelve years old." That's all. Don't you really feel relieved? The old man sees that you are not a thing in the pool. Since wealth can't hold you back, the old man has nothing to say, but you are only 20 years old, so you just stay here for a year or two What can you delay? Everything is not what you see with your eyes, it is true, and you have to think a lot. The old man said so much, not just because you are the only flesh and blood of the second brother Shan. You don't have to rush Give the old man an answer, and it won’t be too late to think about it when you go back.”

After speaking, he waved his hand and sent Shan Xiaoying away.
