Chapter 135 - Quiet Humans (1)
Chapter 71
Under Qiu Jinzhi's scorching gaze, Bai Ze reluctantly gave the dagger he had bought not long ago to Qiu Jinzhi. "I bought this new one. Treat it well. If you lose it, I won't be finished with you."
Receiving the dagger, Qiu Jinzhi pulled out the dagger and looked at its sharp blade: "Such a sharp blade, if you were to bring it out and accidentally scratch it, how will I bring you back?"
"Don't you have the ability?" Bai Ze said.
Qiu Jinzhi: "No matter how capable I am, I'm just a temporary son of a merchant. How could I have any status and receive a post just because my family is the richest in the country."
Qiu Jinzhi placed the dagger close to his chest. He was worried that Bai Ze would steal it from him, so he stuck it a little deeper.
Coachman was leading the carriage. Bai Ze looked at the bulge on Qiu Jinzhi's chest, the place where the dagger was kept. There was no dagger s. Bai Ze silently touched the few copper coins hidden in her sleeves.
She didn't know when she would go out and bring these things along with her.
The carriage jolted the entire way, and they finally arrived at Prince Rui's Palace. Bai Ze lifted the curtain, and looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar Prince Rui's Palace.
After getting off the carriage, handing over the threads and gifts, Qiu Jinzhi and Bai Ze walked into the Prince Rui's Palace.
This was the first time he had entered through the main entrance, so he didn't need to climb over the wall to enter.
Bai Ze's eyes turned towards Princess Rui who was standing beside King Rui. That position had originally been hers, but now the person standing there was piled up using countless amounts of human flesh and blood.
Princess Rui felt that there were people watching her as she searched everywhere in the crowd, but she could not find that person.
Qiu Jinzhi tidied his robes and tidied them up well before quietly asking Bai Ze: "Do you think she's looking at me?"
Bai Ze lowered her head and looked at Qiu Jinzhi. "I was thinking too much."
Under the servant's guidance, the two of them found a place to sit.
Qiu Jinzhi realized that this table was filled with Trader s. s and Trader s were also sitting at the same table.
The red striped man beside him poured for Qiu Jinzhi a cup of wine. I wonder what your name is? I haven't seen my husband in west capital yet! "
Qiu Jinzhi's face carried a stubble, and a mature man's charm. Qiu Jinzhi looked at the swaying reflection in the cup. Not good, my surname is Qiu, and I am only doing some small business here in west capital. "
"That red clothed man didn't take it to heart." "Oh, so it's Young Master Qiu. Young Master Qiu looks like a genius, a person who would do great things."
Qiu Jinzhi listened to his flattery. I am Sir Wu from He Ling Shop in west capital. I wonder what kind of business Young Master Qiu is doing? "
Qiu Jinzhi didn't want to talk to him at first, but seeing that he wanted to talk to him so much, he thought that he shouldn't put on a high profile. After all, he was a guest in the Prince Rui's Palace today.
"I just did a little business. I look a little better. "
"Haha, Young Master Qiu really knows how to talk. Who can be a nobody here?" What is your name so that I know your name? "
Qiu Jinzhi thought for a while: "Not good, my name is very normal, Qiu Jinzhi, I am Trader from the outside."
No matter how he thought about it, he could not think of a person called Qiu Jinzhi. When he heard that the Trader was from the outside, he decided to stay in the west capital for a short time.
King Rui and Princess were still entertaining guests. Everyone was chatting happily with each other.
Bai Ze sat beside Qiu Jinzhi, watching him talk nonsense.
Unknowingly, King Rui had already stood beside Bai Ze and toasted a cup of wine to him.
Bai Ze was overwhelmed by the favor.
He quickly returned a glass of wine to King Rui.
King Rui asked politely, "Have you decided yet?"
Bai Ze didn't understand what King Rui was saying at all, and she was slightly surprised.
Qiu Jinzhi, who was sitting next to Bai Ze, shivered. He saw King Rui too, and was extremely excited when he saw Lady Wu beside him.
"My prince, my prince, I wish that you are talented beyond compare!" After saying that, he raised his head and drank a cup of wine.
Everyone from the Table started to toast King Rui. They all raised their heads to drink, but they didn't care whether King Rui drank or not.
Qiu Jinzhi also toasted to King Rui along with the others.
King Rui and the others thanked him and continued to ask Bai Ze.
Bai Ze did not answer his question just now.
"Your Highness, this commoner has already given you an answer from the beginning."
King Rui looked at Qiu Jinzhi. "Yes, you can consider it again. This King is willing to wait."
