Chapter 42 Three Congratulatory Gifts from the First Emperor After Zhao Che finished speaking, a look of shock flashed across Young Master Fusu's face.
He didn't say anything.
Zhao Che actually guessed that he was from Xianyang! This person turned out to be such a clever strategist.
Really incredible.
Gradually, Young Master Fusu looked at Zhao Che with a bit of admiration in his eyes.
After a while,
Fusu and Wang Bi followed Zhao Che into the quiet study.
At this time, Fusu bowed his hands and took the lead in saying, "Sir, my young master Fusu is here to pay my respects and congratulate you on your engagement."
His words and deeds were full of respect.
Previously, Zhao Che used the plague medicine he developed to save countless ordinary people infected with the plague.
What impressed him even more was that Zhao Che cared about the people and was extremely low-key. He did not use "plague medicine" to seek fame and profit.
Furthermore, what Zhao Che said before, "Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world" has become his motto.
He wrote this sentence on silk and hung it on the wall of his study room, reading it every day to strengthen himself.
"I am Wang Ben. I would like to congratulate you on your engagement."
Wang Ben on the side also bowed his hands and congratulated.
He was a military general of the Qin Dynasty. He had made great achievements in destroying Wei, Yan and Qi. After the First Emperor Yingzheng unified the six kingdoms, he was named "Tongwuhou". His father Wang Jian made immortal military exploits for the unification of Qin.
Therefore, Wang Ben usually has a high level of focus, and there are very few people he can truly admire. However, Zhao Che counts as one.
He was truly impressed by Zhao Che's wonderful rejuvenating medical skills.
"Thank you both."
Hearing this, Zhao Che looked calm and said.
After a while, Young Master Fusu carefully took out the congratulatory gift that the First Emperor had prepared for Zhao Che in advance.
The first gift was a plate of gold, about 2000 taels of gold.
After the First Emperor unified the six countries, he abolished the currencies of the previous six countries and unified two currencies.
That is - gold coins for upper coins and copper coins for lower coins.
Moreover, the unit of gold was changed to "yi", and one yi was equal to 20 taels.
The unit of copper coins is "half a tael", and the word "half a tael" is clearly marked on the gold coins.
The shape of the copper coin is a round square hole, commonly known as "Qin Ban Liang".
"Sir, you must accept this money. This is the task my father has given me. If you don't accept it, my father will punish me when you return."
Young Master Fusu was afraid that Zhao Che would not accept it, so he spoke in advance.
Previously, a serious plague broke out in Peixian County. The First Emperor ordered people to post notices, saying that anyone who could solve the plague problem would be thanked heavily.
Today, this gold is actually the fulfillment of the promise made by the First Emperor Ying Zheng at that time.
"Well, if that's the case, then I'll accept it."
Zhao Che nodded, He accepted the gold generously.
With this money, plus the generous dowry given by Lu Gong, he and the three sisters of the Lu family can live a life without worries about food and clothing.
"Well, sir, you deserve it."
"The second gift is a pass token."
"With this token, you can not only enter and exit Xianyang's palace at will, but also your father's palace, bedroom, etc."
"Naturally, the door of Xianyang Palace will be open for you at any time."
At this time, Young Master Fusu introduced him eloquently.
When he spoke, there was a look of envy in his eyes that could not be concealed.
As the eldest son of the emperor, his father had never given him such a token.
This shows that the father attaches great importance to and treats Zhao Che with courtesy.
Wang Ben, standing beside him, also had a look of envy and shock on his face.
What he never expected was that the gift given to Zhao Che by His Majesty would be this pass giving him complete freedom of entry and must know that His Majesty has never given him such a token, nor has he given it to his father Wang Jian.
Seeing Zhao Che's hesitation, Wang Ben said, "Mr. Zhao, please accept this token. With this token, it will be much more convenient for you to come to Xianyang City in the future."
Later, Young Master Fusu placed the pass token in Zhao Che's hand.
In fact, Fusu knew very well how much his father desired the elixir of longevity, otherwise he would not have reused the alchemist Xu Fu so much.
Zhao Che is also a world-famous miracle doctor, so his father can't wait for Zhao Che to work in the Xianyang Palace.
"Well, thank you Sir and Your Majesty." Zhao Che responded.
"By the way, the last gift is some precious medicinal materials in the palace. These medicinal materials are very rare and can only be found but not sought."
"After having these medicinal materials, sir, you can use them to develop medicines."
Young Master Fusu continued his eloquent introduction.
The medicinal materials were carried by Wang Ben. After Fusu finished speaking, Wang Ben placed all the medicinal materials on the table.
"Ah."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Zhao Che nodded and said.
now.
The engagement banquet of the two sisters from the Zhao family and the Lu family is still going on.
The guests were all busy eating and drinking.
Liu Ji and Yi Xiaochuan were still sitting in the corner,
Liu Ji's eyes were cloudy and he poured glass after glass of wine into his stomach.
He tried to numb himself and forget his troubles by getting drunk.
When he thought that night would be the night of flowers and candles in Zhao Che and Lu Pheasant's bridal chamber, He was so miserable that he wished he could live,
His heart hurt as if being cut by a knife.
"Brother, please don't drink anymore. You must know that raising a glass to relieve your worries will only make your worries worse. Drinking doesn't work. It won't solve any problems at all."
Seeing Liu Ji getting drunk like crazy here, Yi Xiaochuan was a little worried, so he persuaded him.
"Why raise a glass to relieve sorrow and make it worse? That's nonsense."
"Yi Xiaochuan, you don't understand. It's better to be drunk at this time. Then I can spend the night with Lu Fei in the bridal chamber in my dream, hahahaha."
Liu Ji waved his hand and continued, Because he drank too much wine, he was already starting to get drunk.
"Brother, you can't continue drinking. You're drunk."
After hearing this, Yi Xiaochuan was very helpless and persuaded.
At the same time, he was very worried.
He was afraid that because of Lu Pheasant's incident, Liu Ji would never recover.
In his heart, he blamed himself very much and looked at Liu Ji with great shame.
It was his incompetence that failed to successfully bring Liu Ji and Lu Fei together.
Seeing Liu Ji's silence, Yi Xiaochuan apologized: "Brother, it's all my fault. It's my fault. I didn't do a good job as a matchmaker. Brother, I punish myself with three glasses of wine."
As Yi Xiaochuan spoke, he also drank three glasses of wine.
Since these days, he has been very depressed and painful.
First, I encountered countless troublesome things.
Secondly, his eyesight was greatly damaged and has not recovered even now.
Now, the condition of his eyes is only a little better than that of a blind man. Even in daily life, it is extremely inconvenient.
However, to make matters worse, neither Cui Wenzi nor Zhao Che treated him. After thinking of this, Yi Xiaochuan drank three large glasses of wine in a row.
The engagement ceremony between Lu Pheasant and Zhao Che also deeply stimulated his heart, causing him to collapse extremely.
His mood was not much better than that of Liu Ji.
