Chapter 115: The Best Wife Candidates(1/3)
Within half a month, important figures from hundreds of schools of thought and wealthy businessmen from all over the world rushed to Xianyang one after another. Because of the arrival of these people, the business inside and outside Xianyang City improved a lot.
People from various schools of thought are relatively reserved, but the wealthy businessmen in the world are very naked.
The first thing he did after settling in Xianyang City was to visit Chengqiao with generous gifts. Regardless of whether Chengqiao saw them or not, he had to leave a greeting note and gift list.
Naturally, Cheng Qiao would not meet those wealthy businessmen.
Although these wealthy businessmen were backed by powerful people, and some wealthy businessmen who were good at dancing had more than one powerful person behind them, Cheng Qiao didn't take it seriously.
No matter who the powerful people behind these wealthy businessmen are, even if they are kings of various countries, when they arrive in the Qin State, they have to be coiled up like a dragon or lying down like a tiger. How much trouble can they make?
You will never see him again, but Li Chengqiao still accepts them without fail.
This is Cheng Yu's forbearance...part of the way to behave in the world.
These wealthy businessmen are extremely rich, relying on the powerful people behind them to do business, squeezing and plundering the people. If they don't take anything, they will get nothing, and if they take it, they will get nothing. Cheng Qiao has no intention of opening a back door.
After counting, the gifts given by these wealthy businessmen were converted into cash, which was about 20,000 gold.
This amount of money is not small. In the anime, the military pay that South Korea transports to the border is only 100,000 gold per year.
The gift Cheng Qiao received was 20,000 gold, a full fifth, enough to last more than two months for the hundreds of thousands of Korean troops stationed at the border.
This is still the case since Cheng Qiao didn't hint about opening the back door. If he had hinted, it wouldn't be a problem to double the gifts he received.
It's so easy for the rich and powerful to make money. Without even asking, someone will send you money on their own initiative, for fear that you won't accept it.
Wealthy businessmen have disappeared, but people from hundreds of schools of thought still have to see them.
The Mohist giant Six Finger Black Man, the next generation Confucian leader Fu Nian, the peasant hero Kui Tian Guang, the Taoist Tianzong leader Chi Songzi, the Taoist Tianzong leader Xiaoyaozi, the famous master Gongsun Long and so on.
I spent one day dealing with these old foxes, and seven days passed after meeting all the talkers, big and small, from hundreds of families.
It is worth mentioning that although there are many outsiders in Xianyang City, both wealthy businessmen and people from various schools of thought are very restrained and do not dare to cause trouble in Xianyang City, at least they dare not make trouble openly and openly.
As for making trouble secretly, as long as it is not exposed, you can just turn a blind eye.
It takes a lot of energy to talk to old foxes. They not only quote scriptures, but also include all kinds of twists and turns.
If Cheng Qiao III wasn't a man with a clear mind, plus his status and power, he could occasionally act stupid and act silly, but it would be hard to get through the lake without incident.
In the backyard of Chang'an Jun's Mansion, surrounded by greenery, beside a pond, Cheng Qiao was sitting casually on the railing, holding fish feed in his hand and feeding the goldfish in the pond.
The sound of footsteps sounded slowly, which made Cheng Qiao frown slightly. The continuous socializing in the past few days really made him feel a little bored.
"No matter who you ask to see, you won't see him."
"Then slave girl, go down and reject the Yin Yang family."
"Wait a minute, who is coming from the Yin Yang family?"
"Two very beautiful girls, one is named Dongjun and the other is named Moon Goddess."
"Ahem, let's bring them in, directly to the backyard, our old place."
Xiu Niang pursed her lips and smiled softly. She knew it, but it was normal. After all, the young master was growing up.
"Here."
Xiu Niang bowed, then turned around and left with brisk steps.
…
In the backyard, by the small lake, the maid had already set up the table and chairs. Cheng Qiao sat with his back to the small lake, holding a glass of wine in his hand, watching Concubine Yan and Moon God slowly approaching with a smile on his face.
It must be said that Donghuang Taiyi has done a good job in cultivating the temperament of his disciples. The walking postures of the two women have a unique sense of beauty. Coupled with their posture and appearance, it is a pleasure to watch the two women walking.
The two women's attire has not changed much compared to the Yin Yang family. Yan Fei is wearing a dark blue dress and dark blue gemstone hairpins. Her long and smooth hair hangs down on her collarbones and behind her back, and her fair and delicate collarbones are looming.
Luna wore a long blue dress, her long purple hair was combed into a very complicated hairstyle, bound by sky-blue gemstone hairpins, with a strand of hair hanging down on both sides, and her eyes were hidden in a nearly transparent tulle.
Although their appearance is not much different from that of the Yin Yang family, over the past two years, the appearance, figure, and temperament of the two women have initially reached the level in the anime. They have completely grown up, their charm has greatly increased, and their strength has also improved a lot.
"Greetings to your Majesty."
The two girls bowed and bowed, their slender jade fingers changed, and they performed a yin and yang ritual together.
Cheng Qiao stood up and bowed his hands in return, then smiled and said, "We haven't seen each other for two years. We seem to be unfamiliar with each other. Why are you so polite?"
"Put public before private. We are here on behalf of the Yin Yang family, so naturally we must maintain basic respect for your Majesty."
Concubine Yan quickly looked at Cheng Qiao from top to bottom with her bright and clear eyes. She looked dignified and graceful, and a smile appeared on her bright and pretty face.
Public before private?
Are you, Concubine Yan, someone who puts public matters above private matters?
Cheng Qiao secretly laughed in his heart, but on the surface he nodded in agreement, stretched out his right hand, and said with a smile: "Okay, business first, private affairs first, please take a seat."
Yan Fei and Yue Shen nodded slightly, and looked at the high chairs and high tables around them curiously, but they didn't make a fuss. Then they wanted to imitate Cheng Qiao and sit on the chairs, but they felt it was inappropriate, so they changed temporarily.
Sitting posture.
Cheng Qiao is very relaxed at home and in front of acquaintances, and his sitting posture is quite casual. He does not sit facing each other, but sits sideways, with his hands casually placed on the armrests and his legs crossed.
If Cheng Qiao didn't turn his head, the two women could only see Cheng Qiao's side face.
Naturally, Yan Fei and Yue Shen would not learn this posture. The intuition developed from their childhood told them that sitting like this was inappropriate and inelegant.
Especially Yan Fei, who was wearing an overlapping dark blue knee-length skirt with gold edges, and a pair of round and slender legs with ivory luster exposed. If she imitated Cheng Qiao's sitting posture, she would probably be exposed.
Therefore, the two women moved their kneeling posture to the chairs, closed their legs tightly, straightened their backs, and folded their hands on their lower abdomens.
Yan Fei's temperament is dignified, graceful, noble and bright, while Moon God's temperament is ethereal, cold, mysterious and distant. In addition, the appearance, figure and sitting posture of the two women give people a sense of sacredness and inviolability.
To be honest, it was quite tempting, but fortunately Cheng Qiao was able to resist it by silently reciting the mind-purifying mantra.
"Here, drink kiwi juice."
"This is what I personally ordered you to prepare after I heard that you two arrived. It can be used for beauty and beauty."
"Although you two are already very beautiful and flawless, you must not let down my good intentions."
Cheng Qiao picked up the crystal cup filled with kiwi juice and handed it to the two women. The two women looked at each other and could only reach out to take it. With this move, the feeling of sacredness and inviolability was much lessened.
Deceived Kangxi
"how do you feel?"
“Sour, sweet and delicious, not bad.”
This is Yan Fei’s evaluation.
"Better than fruit."
This is the evaluation of Luna.
Cheng Qiao then asked about the current situation of Concubine Yan and Moon God. The three of them chatted some gossip, and the strangers they had not seen for more than two years became much less familiar.
"Your Yin and Yang family haven't been out and about for a long time."
"This time Donghuang Taiyi sent you two here, it's not just for paper, right?"
"If it's just a matter of paper, it seems that for your sake, I will give you some convenience, but not too much."
After chatting for a while, Cheng Qiao took the initiative to bring up business and claimed that he had changed.
Men have to take the initiative, and they can only hand over the initiative to women.
When Cheng Qiao called Donghuang Taiyi by his first name, the two women had no reaction. Considering Cheng Qiao's status, it was not excessive.
"The paper issue is a trivial matter. Even without your Majesty's convenience, the Yin Yang family has the strength to fight for it."
"We hope that your Majesty will introduce us to the King of Qin, and the Yin and Yang family will decide to join Qin."
Cheng Qiao was actually not surprised. Hearing that Concubine Yan and Moon God appeared together, he had some suspicions in his mind, but on the surface he still pretended to be surprised.
"The State of Qin absolutely welcomes the Yin Yang family to join us. You two will follow me into the palace later."
"Then thank you very much."
The Qin State naturally could not object to the Yin Yang family joining the Qin State. None of the hundreds of scholars had completely joined the Qin State. Although the Taoist school was stationed within the Qin State, it only maintained due respect and had no intention of completely turning to the Qin State.
.
The State of Qin will certainly treat this family of scholars who are the first to bet on the State of Qin favorably.
Of course, there is a difference in favor. The favor the Yin Yang family received from seeking an audience with Ying Zheng through formal channels was not as good as Cheng Qiao's private introduction.
"Is there anything else to do?" Cheng Qiao looked at the two women with bright eyes.
Yan Fei and Yue Shen were confused by Cheng Qiao's gaze. Why were they looking at them like that?
Although they felt a little strange, the two women still shook their heads slightly.
"Hahaha..." Cheng Qiao suddenly laughed.
"Why are you laughing?"
Concubine Yan felt that something had gone wrong in Cheng Qiao's practice. Why did she feel a little abnormal mentally?
However, his true perception told him that everything was normal. The opponent's body was much stronger, his blood was no weaker than that of a warrior who practiced Henglian, and his mental state was also very good.
"I remember happy things."
