I’m The King Chapter 1119: :Continuing the past and ushering in the future (9)
A torrential rain washed the entire Jicheng just now, and the sky after the rain looked extraordinarily blue. Misty mist rises above the street, rising higher and higher, making the distant scenery seem to be covered with a layer of veil, but it shows a different kind of hazy beauty instead.
Gao Yuan sat on the watchtower, with his raised Erlang legs resting on the railing, trembling, half-unbuttoned, squinting, humming some unknown tunes, disheveled and unkempt. If the citizens of the Han Kingdom saw his appearance at that time, no one would believe that this was their extremely respected king.
On the small table next to him, there is a jar of wine, and the bowl in his hand is also filled with the same color of wine, but the wine is golden yellow. It is a fried chicken just out of the pan.
Squinting his eyes, he took a big sip of the wine into his mouth, let out a long and comfortable breath, and then hiccupped a series of times, Gao Yuan sighed involuntarily: "It's comfortable!" Fumbling on the table next to him, Ning Xin, who was sitting on the side, quickly picked up the fried chicken drumstick from the plate and stuffed it into his hand.
"Is this wine so delicious?" Ning Xin looked at Gao Yuan who was very satisfied, and couldn't help asking suspiciously. She poured the wine herself just now, and it didn't smell like wine at all.
"Of course it's delicious, beer with fried chicken is a must!" Gao Yuan squinted at her, raising his feet even higher: "Try it if you don't believe me!" He put the wine bowl in his hand Send it to Ning Xin.
Having doubts, Ning Xin opened her small mouth, took a sip, and immediately spat it out with a bah, "What kind of wine is this? It's not sour, and it doesn't smell at all."
Gao Yuan chuckled: "This is because you don't understand its beauty. After you drink it a few times, you will fall in love with it. Well, especially on hot days, you can use ice cubes to cool it down. Pour this wine into your stomach at once, that one will be refreshing!"
Ning Xin stared at Gao Yuan for a while, then suddenly burst out laughing.
"I understand!" She stared at Gao Yuan and said with a smile.
"What do you understand?" Gao Yuan turned his head to the side and looked at the other party's delicate and beautiful face. He had to say that among the three wives, Ning Xin was indeed the strongest in terms of appearance and figure. Ning Xin's smile still made Gao Yuan feel out of his mind.
"You and Yanzi are famous for pouring in one bowl!" Ning Xin covered her small mouth and smiled, "That's why you made this wine that doesn't taste like alcohol at all. In the future, you will have a big banquet with all the officials." , you take out this wine, even if you drink ten bowls, it won't pour it down. As long as you applaud it, one of the ministers below will dare to say it's not good, and they will say it's good even if they grit their teeth. Think about it yourself, poor Mr. Wu Kai, Mr. Wu, the family spent huge sums of money to study the wine you mentioned, and when it falls, it will definitely lose everything. How can anyone buy this kind of wine to drink!"
"Summer insects can't be described as ice!" Gao Yuan snorted and said, "When the summer comes in a few months, you will understand how good it is. By the way, there will be no problems with the ice cellar in the palace, right?" , I will ask for ice then."
"Don't worry, I'd like to see how cool this so-called beer is when it's really summer you said." Ning Xin still couldn't help laughing, "Brother Gao, maybe Wu Kai and Mr. Wu I’m jumping and scolding you at home right now! If this beer is like this, then another kind of wine is also good enough!”
"You just wait and see, the grape wine luminous cup, if you want to drink the pipa, you will destroy it immediately, Jun Moxiao is drunk on the battlefield, how many people have fought in ancient times! Haha, when the wine is made, I will definitely make you obsessed." Gao Yuan stuffed the chicken legs into his mouth two or three times, grabbed the bowl from Ning Xin's hand, and drank the wine in the bowl: "Although it's almost meaningless, it's not bad. It will definitely get better and better in the future."
"I think Mr. Wu's beer is definitely going to lose money, but brother, the soap made by Jiang Dalang and Ke Zhen is now the whole city of Jicheng!" Ning Xin giggled, "It's you The names they gave were weird. It was a mouthful."
"What's so weird? Procter & Gamble Co., um, this soap was originally a partnership between two people. By the way, I also have shares in it. Speaking of which, I'm still a major shareholder. Everyone has different shares. , bear different responsibilities.” Gao Yuan plausibly said that when Ke Zhen asked him to name him, he opened his mouth and came up with such a name. Later, it was too late to regret it. Who called him a king? Naturally, it cannot be taken back.
"This Ke Zhen is also a talent, much stronger than Jiang Dalang. He, ah, publicized in Jicheng that their new product is named by the King of Han himself, and it is a designated item of the palace. In the palace, the King and Princess of Han Everyone down to the guards and maids use it. With this gimmick, within two days, their products have been popular in Jicheng. Now all the counties and cities in the lower part of the country are also moving after hearing the news, and they come to the door for consignment sales! Gold!"
"Half of this bucket of money is mine!" Gao Yuan said proudly. "It's worth it to come up with a name and an idea, even if it's an advertisement for him. Now I have to find a way to make money. Otherwise, life will be tight."
Ning Xin laughed: "Don't talk about the country's offerings, the Wu's Liquor Industry alone gives you a dividend of 100,000 taels of silver every year, so how can life be so tight!"
"You are really not in charge of the family and don't know how expensive rice is, Jing'er doesn't think like you." Gao Yuan reached out and poked Ning Xin's forehead, "You, you have been used to enjoying life since childhood, how do you know about oil, salt, sauce and vinegar?" Tea, five things to open the door, how much does it cost a year, one hundred thousand taels of silver, you don't even look at how much the palace costs a day, when will Wang Wudi, a miser, pay me my salary on time? Don't be in a hurry, he will never remember that I also need to get a salary, but he wants to get some from me from time to time, for example, two days ago when Yuyang was flooded, he actually came to follow me I said, as a king, you should take the lead in donating silver as an example. I was really mad at me. I asked this **** old man, and he only donated one hundred taels of silver. Two, it made me so angry that I wished I could beat him up. In the end, he gritted his teeth and took five thousand taels of silver, but he still looked unhappy."
"Wang Wudi knows your family background!" Ning Xin covered her mouth and smiled.
"Tell me, I have to give rewards to Jishicheng Military University from time to time so that they will always remember me as a king. Although Jicheng Comprehensive University gives less, it still has to express itself every year. I have seen it through, and I am the king who has been the most embarrassing in history." Gao Yuan said angrily.
"You didn't do this yourself." Ning Xin laughed: "Although you are holding back the song, you are a virtuous king praised by the world! From the ministers to the Li Shu, no one will praise you."
"I'm in a cocoon!" Gao Yuan sighed: "So I have to find a way to make more money, and I have to make people like Wang Wudi speechless. Procter & Gamble is still making some superficial products. I have to get Jiang Dalang and Ke Zhen out of the way, and teach them a few tricks. In the next few years, I will have to rely on them to save some private money! Otherwise, in the future, my son will marry a daughter-in-law, and my daughter will marry a husband. It's all gone."
Ning Xin was amused by Gao Yuan.
Looking at Ning Xin's smiling face, Gao Yuan smiled and nodded, "You should feel a lot better today, right?"
Listening to Gao Yuan's words, Ning Xin's smile stopped abruptly, and she looked at the other party for a long time before she came to her senses and looked at the other party movedly, "So you have been making me happy all this time?"
"I'm not teasing you, isn't what we said just now the truth? Niu Ben sent a letter saying that he caught Yan Lingwei's black death needle back then. I think he must have reported the letter to you. What do you think, yes Don't you want to meet this guy in person? Now he is locked in the prison at the headquarters of the Overwatch Council. If you want to avenge yourself or something, I will just pretend that you don't know. I think the people in the Overwatch Council will also If you can't see it, they are not Jing Shou."
The bright eyes stared at Gao Yuan, and there was a flash of water in it. After a long while, Ning Xin said leisurely: "Are you abetting a crime?"
Gao Yuan Card's smile, "Hiding for the loved ones, this is hiding for the loved ones."
Ning Xin looked up at the blue sky, and said after a while: "Let's forget it, although I hate this black death needle, but speaking of him, he is just a knife, and the handle of the knife is controlled by someone else." Man, as the King of Han, you abide by the laws of the Han Kingdom everywhere. I am your wife, so how can I take the lead in violating the laws and regulations just because of my own thoughts? The fate of the black death needle will be determined by the laws of the Han Kingdom. Well, I don't see him either."
Gao Yuan stretched out his hand to hold Ning Xin into his arms, stroked her hair, nodded and said: "You are right, this is my good wife, the law is made, that is to be followed, Whether the king or the common people, before the law, everyone is equal, what punishment can't be punished by a doctor, bullshit, if an official above a doctor commits a crime, I will still send him to the dock. Before the black death needle The matter in Yan Lingwei is an old matter of the previous dynasty, and it was also entrusted by an institution of the imperial court of a country. Now we really can't cure him with this, but this person killed Mao Tao, which is also a human life. In short, even if you don't die, you'll probably lose your skin. As for the sentence, that's something Jing Shou should worry about. Let's leave it alone. Let's go burn incense sticks to your father some other day, and tell him the news. Consolation to his spirit in heaven."
"You really don't hate my father anymore?" Ning Xin raised her head in Gao Yuan's arms and asked.
"Time has passed, why do you still hate him? His beautiful daughter has become my wife, and my daughter is his granddaughter. What grudges can't be resolved!" Gao Yuan laughed.
"You are so kind!" Ning Xin buried her head deeply in Gao Yuan's arms, listening to Gao Yuan's powerful heartbeat. (To be continued)
