Three Kingdoms: Start With 3,000 Qin Cavalry To Revive The Qin Dynasty

"The Marquis slaughtered the Huns and gave us Han people a hard time. This time he defeated the bandits and saved our lives. We just wanted to thank the Marquis for his kindness of rebirth, but we never thought that we would be killed by that man. Zhang Qianjie arrived first."

"Zhang Qian has been a widow for many years, and now she is as young as a wolf and a tiger. She is so diligent in trying to persuade the Marquis to stay. Could it be that she wants to plot something against the Marquis."

"Master Hou is well-informed, how can he master the little tricks of that old woman Zhang Qian?"

"Although Zhang Qian is now in her thirties or forties, her charm is still there. Not many men can stop her from flirting and posing, and he also has several beautiful daughters. If he is cruel, his mother will If we take action together, I'm afraid that the Marquis may not be able to withstand it."

Everyone was talking about their dissatisfaction with Zhang Qian for eating alone, but no one dared to come forward to argue.

I didn't see the tiger and wolf iron eagle guard guarding the gate. Who dared to make trouble here? I had to say a few words and finally left angrily.

"Sister, these people are going too far. They actually use such ugly words to talk about my mother."

"But they said she has a nose and a face. Mom shouldn't do such a thing." Zhen Mi asked her inner doubts.

Even though she is only a seven or eight-year-old girl now, she looks extremely familiar. Her watery eyes are constantly moving around as if she believes the nonsense of those at the door.

When the other sisters of the Zhen family heard this, they subconsciously looked at their eldest sister Zhen Mi.

Obviously, they would rather believe the crazy talk outside, and they would have doubts about their mother, Zhang Qian.

Zhen Jiang frowned, deliberately taking out the eldest sister's card and reprimanding these younger sisters who didn't want to believe their mother.

When the words came to my lips, they turned into a sigh:

"If he were an ordinary person, my mother would not be tempted at all, but Mr. Hou is different from ordinary people."

"That was the Marquis of Ancheng who massacred 300,000 Xiongnu and became famous all over the world. He controlled the military and political power of Bingzhou and defeated Yuan Shao without the ability to fight back."

"If we can get the favor of Marquis Ancheng, our Zhen family will have a big backer and we will no longer have to be angry with those officials."

"Marquis Ancheng is majestic, talented, and possesses literary skills and military skills. If my mother is happy to see that he is hunting, and has the intention to do something good for him, it is not impossible."

"This..." Zhen Mi was dumbfounded, and even a little worried: "If Marquis Ancheng finds out that mother has ulterior motives and angers Marquis Ancheng, what should we do?"

"Right now, we don't have any options. If we don't get on the big ship of Marquis Ancheng, our Zhen family will be annexed by those big forces sooner or later."

"So, this matter can only be successful and no failure is allowed."

As he said this, Zhen Jiang's expression tightened, as if he had made some kind of determination.

Unfortunately, the other sisters were only worried about what happened between their mother and Ying Xi, and did not notice the changes in Zhen Jiang.

While the five sisters of the Zhen family were talking about each other, Ying Xi, accompanied by Zhang Qian, had already arrived at the pavilion in the backyard.

The entire backyard was designed by Zhang Qian herself. Under the shining of the moonlight, the lonely man and woman sitting in it had a unique flavor.

Not long after, the servants presented the drinks that had been prepared long ago and then respectfully withdrew.

"For your life-saving grace, Lord Marquis, I will give you a toast first."

After saying that, Zhang Qian raised her wine glass and drank it down in one gulp.

Ying Xi didn't mean any hypocrisy. He nodded slightly and drank the wine in the glass.

The two of them came and went and drank with each other.

Even though Zhang Qian is a woman, she comes from a merchant family, and she is not a vegetarian when it comes to drinking.

After more than ten glasses of water and wine, her face was slightly red, but her ears and eyes were still sharp, as if nothing was wrong with her.

Looking at the attentive face, frequent toasts, and even accidentally wet his clothes, Ying Xi took the initiative to speak and stopped the banquet.

"Madam, if I continue to drink, I will be drunk on the spot and delay my business."

Hearing this, Zhang Qian's cheeks turned red, and she quickly calmed down, even with a playful smile: "I know that the Marquis stayed in the mansion because he planned to do business with me."

Zhang Qian's shy look was seen by Ying Xi, and she knew that the other party had misunderstood what she meant, and her face straightened:

"I do have a serious matter and I plan to discuss it with my wife."

Seeing Ying Xi's serious look, Zhang Qian didn't take it seriously. Instead, she stepped forward and looked directly at Ying Xi:

"I am all ears and attentively listening to the Lord Marquis's business."

"Ahem!"

Ying Xi coughed lightly and interrupted Zhang Qian's random thoughts:

"Although the Zhen family has made a lot of money and has strong financial resources through its unique business methods in recent years, without a backer, everything will be in troubled times."

"Without a foundation and no protection, it is equivalent to losing the ability to protect yourself, and you are just at the mercy of others."

Ying Xi's words were so insightful that Zhang Qian felt sad.

History focuses on scholars, farmers, industry and commerce. Although merchants look glamorous, they are looked down upon by the world.

In the prosperous age, one does not have the slightest right to control wealth.

Now that troubled times are approaching, large merchants like them without backers are the cash withdrawal machines of those princes and aristocratic families.

These big merchants usually use all means to seek refuge with some princes who have real power and can protect them.

The reason why Liu Bei was able to start his business was thanks to the donations from Zhang Shiping and Su Fei, the great merchants of Zhongshan State.

In history, Zhen Mi married Yuan Xi, Yuan Shao's son, and Mi Zhu spent all her family wealth to help Liu Bei.

They just want to use the power of these princes to protect their own family and at the same time make the family go further.

Zhang Qian worked so hard to please Ying Xi today, and even planned to sacrifice her appearance, just to climb the big tree of Ying Xi.

It's just that Zhang Qian didn't expect that the big event Ying Xi mentioned was not at all what she imagined.
