Jingzhao Yin, a fourth-rank prefect, is in charge of the capital. Although he is only a prefect, this position is very important.
Shi Jie brought Manager Tu to Jingzhao Yin, wanting to find out the owner of the Royal Winery shop. But in fact, it was not that easy.
There are so many shops in the capital. Not to mention that it is troublesome to find them after registering them, even if Shi Jie wants to find them, will the people in the government find them? The Marquis of Jinqian Mansion has no real power, it is just a title. Even if the Marquis of Jinqian went there, the prefect can refuse, not to mention a mere bastard. More importantly, such private information is not allowed to be checked.
So, Shi Jie was rejected.
However, at the same time, Jingzhao Yin also knew the name of the Royal Winery. Such a name is indeed conspicuous. After all, the word "Royal" is not just a word, it is equivalent to flying the banner of the Royal family. The first time Jingzhao Yin knew it, he naturally checked the owner of the shop. As a result, the owner of the shop was a strange name. Then, Jingzhao Yin checked the name of the owner of the shop and found that this person had a lot of property in the capital, so Jingzhao Yin checked the property in every place. There was another time that the prefect was quite familiar with it, that was the Royal Manor. The owner behind the Royal Manor can only be the emperor, but the name on it is not the emperor, so the prefect must have known it immediately.
He was afraid that the place with the same name as the owner of the shop must be the private property of the emperor, so he immediately ordered people not to continue investigating. At the same time, he told the people in the yamen that no one was allowed to investigate the property of the royal winery shop, and anyone who came to investigate would be refused on the spot.
So after a few days, no one could find the owner of the Royal Winery shop. Then, everyone knew that there was a backer behind it, and this backer must be a member of the royal family. Because only royal people dare to take such a name, and they are not afraid of being investigated, and they cannot be found out.
In response to this, everyone turned off their enthusiasm and waited for the so-called good wine.
On October 10, the Royal Winery opened for business in anticipation of everyone. Because the wine can be tasted, you can tell whether it is good or bad by drinking it. The taste of wine is different from that of wine made from grains, especially in terms of aroma. It must be said that in this ancient time, the newly launched wine was very popular.
Therefore, the Royal Winery became popular very quickly.
Yang Haiyan didn't have any official business in the Qin residence, but she knew everything that was going on in the shop, and from time to time someone would come to report to her.
After the wine business was launched, the only thing left was to wait for restaurants to pick up the goods. The winery could save a lot of money by not selling them in retail. More importantly, the price of wine was not expensive.
In the blink of an eye, it is the end of the year.
That day, Doctor Li took Yang Haiyan's pulse. Yang Haiyan suddenly remembered something: "Doctor Li, how is your health?"
Doctor Li said, "Madam is in good health."
Yang Haiyan: "What about the general?"
Doctor Li said: "The general is in very good health. There are very few military commanders who are as strong as the general." The people in the Qin Mansion were used to calling Qin Fang the general, and they didn't change it for a while, but it didn't matter.
In this case, Yang Haiyan asked awkwardly: "Then you and the general are in good health, how come after several years, there is still no news of pregnancy?"
"This..." Doctor Li thought for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "Because the general took medicine."
Yang Haiyan was stunned: "What do you mean by this?"
Doctor Li said, "Since you gave birth to our son that year, the general came to me and asked me if I had any medicine that could prevent a woman from getting pregnant. The general also told me not to tell you, Madam."
Yang Haiyan had not expected such a thing to happen. She was quite worried: "Will it be harmful to the general's health?"
Doctor Li said, "It will not harm the general's body. The effect of the medicine will fade over time. If you want to have a child in the future, you can wait until the effect of the medicine fades or disappears. But if you don't want to have a child, you need to take the medicine again. The effect of the medicine is three years. The general just took it for the second time before he came."
Yang Haiyan nodded: "I understand. Don't tell anyone about this."
Doctor Li: “Yes.”
In the evening, when Qin Fang came back, Yang Haiyan asked tentatively: "Husband, don't you like children?"
Qin Fang was quite puzzled: "How come?" However, he didn't like them very much. Maybe he didn't like other children except his own.
"Is it because my husband doesn't like having many children and grandchildren?" Yang Haiyan asked in a different way.
Qin Fang was smart, and after listening to Yang Haiyan's words, he guessed something: "You know?"
Yang Haiyan raised her eyebrows: "What should you know?"
Qin Fang said frankly: "One child is enough for us. In the future, there will be people who will worship us." He was really a little scared. Although his wife didn't seem to have any major problems when she gave birth that day, her pale face and the blood that flowed out made him feel weak all over when he thought about it later. So, he didn't plan to have any more children. "Yan Yan, one child is enough for us, okay?"
Yang Haiyan wanted to have two children so that the child would not be lonely in the future, but it was not necessary. Seeing that Qin Fang did not want to have children, and for her sake, she did not force him: "Then let it be."
Qin Fang listened and breathed a sigh of relief: "Let it be." Let it be, means it will be done. Anyway, he was very active in taking the medicine and would definitely not miss it.
In the blink of an eye, it was the end of the year. I had originally told the Qin family that the most special day at the end of the year was the Chinese New Year. But this year was not the case, as some unexpected events occurred.
"What did you say? Did someone see you outside? Was it a girl?" Yang Haiyan was a little surprised. She was a homebody, basically staying at home, occasionally going to the Du Mansion. In addition, they didn't celebrate their birthdays, so on their birthdays, they would have a very sumptuous meal for their family. So far, their life in the capital was still very comfortable.
Servant: "Yes, he didn't tell me his origins, but claimed that he had a chance to see the lady."
Yang Haiyan said with a smile: "No." Who does she think the other person is if she doesn't report her identity and doesn't want to see her
After hearing this, the servant went to refuse the other party.
Standing at the gate of Qin's house was indeed a girl, not only was she wearing thin clothes, but she was also wearing white. In this winter, it made people feel cold just by looking at her.
When the girl saw the servant coming out, she asked hurriedly, "Brother, is your wife willing to see you?"
The servant said, "Madam has ordered that if the young lady does not reveal her identity, she will not receive her."
The girl looked at the servants, gritted her teeth, and suddenly knelt down in front of the Qin Mansion: "I want to see Madam Bingyun... I want to see Madam Bingyun..."
Although there were not many people here, there were some pedestrians. When the woman knelt down, those pedestrians stopped and looked at this side one by one.
The servant was stunned, then said angrily: "Who are you? What do you mean? It's strange that you saw our lady but didn't report her life. Get up quickly and don't be an eyesore here." As he said that, he made a glare at the guard and asked him to inform the lady.
"Why are you coming back?" Kun Shi, as the steward of the Qin Mansion, came over naturally when he heard the noise outside.
The servant said, "Reporting to the housekeeper, I don't know how to report it. This girl came to see the lady but didn't tell her name, nor did she say who she was. The lady said she didn't want to see her, and she knelt and yelled like this."
When Kunshi heard this, he stepped forward and asked, "What is your name, where are you from, and why do you want to see the lady?"
The woman cried and said, "I can't tell you, I... I only want to tell my wife."
Kun Shi frowned, he could tell at a glance that this girl came prepared, but for what
At this moment, the guard who had gone in to report came out and whispered something in Kunshi's ear. Kunshi nodded and said, "In that case, you are shouting in front of the Qin Mansion and disturbing everyone's peace. This is a security issue in the capital. Let's report to the authorities. Someone, go to the Jingzhao Prefecture Yamen and report that someone is making trouble at the Qin Mansion gate. The security in the capital is not good."
"Yes." The guard quickly threw it away.
The kneeling girl was stunned. This was illogical. Seeing the guards running away, she was worried that the people from the government office would be called over, so she hurriedly said, "I came to see you because I love you, Madam. I want you to help me. I have no ill intentions."
When Kun Shi heard this, he looked at her in disbelief.
Girl: "Really, what I said is true, Madam... Madam... I have no ill intentions, I just admire Master Qin, and I beg Madam to fulfill my wish... Madam..."
As the girl shouted louder, more and more people came outside.
Kun Shi didn't say anything. Since his wife said to hand it over to the yamen, he would hand it over to the yamen no matter what the other party said.
Soon, people from the yamen arrived. Because the man was from the family of Commander Qin, the chief constable from the yamen came in person.
"What happened here?" asked the detective.
Kun Shi said, "Sir, I am the steward of the Qin Mansion, Kun Shi. This girl is busy in front of our mansion. Madam suspects that she has ulterior motives. Please ask the yamen to interrogate her carefully."
"I don't have any." The girl defended, "I just love Master Qin, and I want to ask Madam to help me. I am willing to come to your house and be a slave."
“This…” The detective looked at Kun Shi quickly.
Kun Shi snorted coldly: "Our lord is the commander of the suburban command camp, and is responsible for the safety of the capital. Who knows if you are a spy sent from somewhere? Are you here to find out the deployment of troops in the capital? Sir, please interrogate me carefully."
The chief detective was very nervous when he heard that this might affect the comfort of the capital. He could not be careless. He said, "Don't worry, housekeeper. Come and arrest her." Then he said to Kun Shi, "Housekeeper, there are some details. I'd like to trouble you to go to the government office."
Kun Shi said: "No problem, I really want to hear what she has to say."
