Chapter 129: The Qian Clan's Might

Qian, born in Jiangnan, is a descendant of Qian Biao, the founder of Wu Yue Kingdom during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period.

Speaking of Qian Biao, many people may not know, but in the old days, the people of Liangzhejiang were familiar with it, and they all called him the Sea Dragon King.

In the last years of the Tang Dynasty, Qian Bi followed the later Emperor Dong Chang of the Dayue Luo Pingguo Kingdom to protect the township, resist the rebellious army, and moved to the town of the navy to make the envoy, and later because Dong Chang rebelled against the Tang Dynasty and called the emperor, he was edicted to level Dong Chang, and then added the Zhendong Army to the envoy. He gradually occupied the two Zhejiang and thirteen states headed by Hangzhou, and was successively named the king of Yue, the king of Wu, the king of Wu, and the king of Wuyue by the three Central Plains dynasties of the Tang Dynasty, the Later Liang Dynasty, and the Later Tang Dynasty.

Because of the small territory of Wu Yue and the strong enemies on three sides, Qian Biao had to always rely on the Central Plains Dynasty, respect it as Zhengshuo, and constantly send envoys to pay tribute for protection. He reigned for forty-one years, the temple name was Taizu, the name was King Wusu, and he was buried in the tomb of King Qian.

During his reign, Qian Biao adopted the policy of protecting the territory and the people, and the economy prospered, and the benefits of fishing, salt, and silkworms were in the south of the Yangtze River. He once requisitioned migrant workers to build the Qiantang River and Hanhai Stone Pond, so that "Qiantang is rich and prosperous in the southeast". In the Taihu Lake Basin, the general construction of weir gates, to store floods, not afraid of drought and flood, and the establishment of the maintenance system of the water network polder area, by the field pond is numerous, the land is plastered, there is the saying of "near Ze knows the beauty of the field". It also encourages the expansion of land reclamation, so that "there is no abandoned land in the territory", and the years are ripe and abundant. Therefore, it was revered as the "Sea Dragon King" by the people of Zhejiang and Zhejiang.

In the past, princes were no match for the changes of the times, and no matter how prominent the Qian family was a thousand years ago, it became an unknown text lost in the sea of history after the change of dynasties and wars. By the time of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty, the Qian family had fallen very poorly, and it could be said that they were living in poverty.

Qian's mother died very young, leaving only her brother and her two to live with their father. Qian's father was a very stylish Confucian scholar. Even in the middle of the family, he has always guarded the door of the Qian family, refusing to engage in business in the market, just relying on calligraphy and painting to make a living, barely surviving.

Qian began to help the family with housework at a very young age, until Kangxi went down to the south of the Yangtze River and heard the origin of the "Sea Dragon King", and because of a whim to visit Queen Wu Yue, he was brought back to the capital by Kangxi and pointed out to Yinzhen as a show girl.

Qian does not have the squeamishness of ordinary women, although she usually likes food and looks naΓ―ve, but in fact, after getting along over the years, I naturally understand that this girl is a "pig and eat tiger" master, as she grows older, she also begins to know how to show sharp claws to protect her and the people she wants to protect.

Early that morning, I was summoned to the front yard by Yinzhen to wait, and I didn't go back to my yard until dinner.

As soon as he entered the house, he saw that the atmosphere in the room was not right, and Qian changed his usual state of feasting, just staring at the after-dinner snacks on the table and sighing in a daze. The rest of the room was silent, and their expressions looked a little solemn.

When Qian saw me enter the house, his eyes lit up, he smiled, and said, "Sister, you are finally back, and if you don't come back, you will have to worry me to death." ”

I was relieved to see that Qian could still laugh, thinking that it must not be a big deal, so I was not in a hurry, so I asked Aster to wait and change her clothes, and after sitting down, she took the tea cup and moistened her throat, and then asked her, "What's the matter?"

"What's the matter, how can the dim sum made by aster be not delicious, but it is disgusted by some people, so I am full of anger and can't eat it. Qian wrinkled his nose and pouted, and said with a cute face.

"Someone?" I repeated her words in confusion.

Qian pouted and looked too lazy to speak, Lan Xin, who was waiting beside her, took over and said: "These days, our family Gege wants to eat purslane, and she almost never leaves, and the purslane in our yard is almost eaten by her, so she remembers the ones in the garden and pulls us to pick them in the garden." I didn't expect to meet Iger......"

"Sister, I now know that what those people in the house say is really inaccurate, comparing my sister with her is like being a cheap sister. When Qian heard the words "Igege", she came up angrily again, and snatched the words and said in her soft Jiangnan tone.

I saw that Qian, who had always been only interested in eating, couldn't even eat, so I was afraid that I was really angry, so I hurriedly handed her the teacup and said, "Drink saliva to dissipate your anger, and talk to me about what's going on." ”

Qian took the teacup and took a sip, calmed down, and began to tell the whole story.

Qian has a sweet tooth, so his body is a little plump. But after I told her that Yinzhen liked tall and fit Jiangnan women, she began to work hard to lose weight. But for a foodie, dieting to lose weight is almost impossible to do, so he can only make a fuss about dietary therapy.

In fact, although Qian is a bit fond of food, as a senior foodie, he usually knows the most about food. She doesn't particularly like those fishy dishes with big fish and meat, but prefers things that taste good and can be eaten with style.

Over the years, Qian has also learned some medical science with me, especially in the aspects of dietary therapy and dietary supplements. So I used to think that purslane, plantain, perilla, and other wild vegetables that poor people eat have also become her great love.

In May, purslane has become a ubiquitous wild vegetable. But the mansions of wealthy and noble families naturally look down on these things that can't be put on the table. However, the people in my hospital know that purslane is rich in nutrients, which can inhibit the absorption of bile solid acid by the human body, reduce blood cholesterol concentration, improve the elasticity of blood vessel walls, and is very beneficial to the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular diseases.

These days, she began to become obsessed with purslane, and she had to eat this dish almost every day. In order to plant some herbs and daily fruits and vegetables in our yard, the land was turned over, purslane is a common plant, and it is easy to grow, so we did not deliberately plant, only some of the emerging ones were eaten by Qian's.

But there was no one in our yard, and it could be seen everywhere in the huge palace garden outside, so the Qian family had the idea of those wild vegetables in the garden of the palace.

Qian led the servants and maids in her yard to pick them near our yard. But I was probably too happy to pick it, and I thought that purslane could be pickled, and now I can pick more and more and dry it and keep it for later to eat slowly, so I walked farther and farther, and came to the vicinity of the stone road in the garden for people to come and go.

Although the Qian family is not favored, she has not suffered much in the house because of the relationship between me and Yinzhen, and she has always been polite to her in the house. Even if some of the servants and maidservants who passed by at that time expressed surprise and puzzlement at how many of them were picking wild vegetables there, they would not say much. However, by coincidence, I met Igg, who came out for a walk.

Igger has not been in the house for a long time, and she has a high vision, and she knew that this woman is not a good stubble in the previous confrontation without a trace, so she usually reminds the Qian family and the people in the courtyard to avoid her, but she can't avoid it, just follow the rules and say a few perfunctory words.

But this time, the Qian clan did not notice Yi Shi at that time, and they did not notice the person until Yi Shi spoke.

"As soon as she came, she said with disgust on her face, 'Where did this group of dog minions come from, and they have messed up the good garden.' Qian aggrievedly learned Yi's words.

After Yi Shi said this, Qian only thought that she had misunderstood, afraid that she would embarrass the people around her, and hurriedly stepped forward to explain: "It's not the minions who messed up, it's that I want to eat purslane, so I led them over to pick it, and besides, we can be careful when we pick it, if we don't touch the flowers and plants, we won't mess up the garden." ”

Yi Shi glanced at Qian, who had soiled his robe because of his own hands, and asked with disdain: "Where did you come from?

When Yi Shi asked this, the people around her knew the identity of Qian and hurriedly stepped forward and muttered in her ear, saying, "This is Qian Gege, who has been living in the same courtyard as Geng Gege......

Listening to Qian's words, the person who spoke deliberately said the three words Geng Gege more heavily, but he didn't expect Yi Shi to laugh and say: "Oh, I said which Gege would be so unruly, it turned out to be Qian Gege, who killed the little brother in the mansion as soon as he entered the mansion." It seems that Geng Gege is a hard-hearted person, and he dares to provoke such an unfortunate dead star. ”

When Yi Shi said this, the faces of the servants and maids who followed her turned white, but the words were already out, and it was too late to hold her.

Honghui is Yinzhen's son-in-law, and his death is not only a great blow to the Wulanala clan, but also a pain in Yinzhen's heart, so people in the house will hardly mention it casually out of avoidance.

As for the matter of Qian's death of Honghui, it was also privately rumored in the mansion for a while at first, but later the attitude of the Wulanala clan towards the Qian family changed, and it seemed that it was the death of Qian's Honghui, and no one in the mansion publicly mentioned it again. Later, I became friends with the Qian family and protected her, and Yinzhen's attitude towards the Qian family was also very kind, and no one in the house was even more bored to say anything.

But this matter has always been a knot in Qian's heart that has not been resolved for many years, although I always comfort her that these are just coincidences, and even take out the rhetoric that she said to Wulanala and Yinzhen to lead to Hongshi, but she still doesn't like others to mention this.

This knot was not slowly untied until Qian's age was a little older in the past few years, but he didn't expect to be mentioned here again, which made Qian's hair blow up suddenly.

"Did you quarrel with Yishi?" I asked her while thinking about how many years these things were old, if someone hadn't deliberately mentioned them in Yishi, I'm afraid that Yishi, who had just entered the mansion for only two years, would not know, so whether this person who mentioned this matter to Yishi inadvertently talked about it, or whether he had ulterior motives, is a question worth scrutinizing.

"No, how can I be so stupid, if I quarrel so much, others will only say that I have no rules, isn't that shameless for my sister?" Qian told me the matter, and he was probably a little relieved, picked up a piece of pastry on the table and bit it hard.

I nodded, chuckled and wiped the crumbs off her face, motioned for her to stay out of the way, and continued.

"Actually, I was really angry at the time, and I really wanted to go up and slap her a few times, but thinking about the face in our yard, if I really started to do it, I am afraid that some people will say that I am bullying others, and I will also say that my sister is pampered and arrogant in this yard. I put up with it when I thought about it. Qian said.

However, although Qian endured it, she was not an angry bag who would be bullied casually. In the face of Yi's vicious ridicule, Qian instantly calmed down, just smiled sweetly at Yi's, and said: "Where did Igege hear this, the emperor said that I was blessed, could it be that Igege meant that the emperor was wrong, or that the emperor saw the wrong person?"

As soon as I heard this, I immediately wanted to praise this girl's counterattack. In this era, the emperor is bigger than the sky, and what the emperor says is a holy oracle, and whoever dares to say that what the emperor said is not right, and that the emperor sees the wrong person, is a great crime of disrespect. It was expected that Yi had never heard of this stubble, so he was naturally dumbfounded by Qian.

"And then, she won't just leave because of your words, will she?" I asked Qian with a sneer.

"I'm angry when I say this," Qian indignantly stuffed a large mouthful of pastry into his mouth.

was blocked by Qian's words, Yi Shi lost face in front of everyone, although she was embarrassed and ashamed, but she was not a vegetarian, she put down her emotions, and said nonchalantly: "The emperor is naturally accurate when he looks at people, how can he say it wrong, but you are afraid that your blessing is too heavy, and people who are too weak can't stand it, but poor little brother was knocked away like this." But then again, since you are so blessed, you haven't seen any grace and an heir in the past few years in the palace, but it is Geng Gege in your courtyard who has dragged your blessing and gained a lot of benefits. I'm afraid that you are a fool, you are a good blessing, but you just make a wedding dress for others. ”

Hearing Qian learn this, my face also turned cold, and I said in my heart that this Yi Shi Mo didn't see that he didn't get a good deal with Qian's tongue, so he wanted to separate the relationship between Qian and me.

"What do you think of her?" I don't know if Qian will have any thoughts about her words, so I cautiously inquired.

"Sister, don't worry, if I believe her, how can I talk to you. Qian also saw my concern and smiled and waved his hand.

Qian said that she didn't care about Yi's provocation, so many years of sisters, not so much that I was blessed by her, but that she was blessed by me.

"If it hadn't been for my sister who forcibly broke into my yard regardless of her own safety when I first entered the mansion, and tried to excuse me, I can't say what fate I would have had now, and where would I have been blessed. Besides, over the years, no matter what happened, it was my sister who rushed to the front, blocking me and the people in this yard behind. How much suffering we have endured and how many grievances we have suffered, we all see it in our eyes and remember it in our hearts, how can this friendship be broken by her in a few words. Qian put down the pastry in his hand, took my hand and said, "If I am really blessed, then let my blessing help my sister fulfill her wish, then it will be my blessing." ”

"Silly girl, I naturally don't think you'll be separated from me, I'm just thinking about why Yi suddenly talked about the incident when you just entered the mansion, and how could he think of provoking the relationship between you and me. I took Qian's hand and expressed the doubts in my heart.

Qian shook his head and said, "I can't think of this, but don't worry, sister, no one can separate us." ”

I nodded and asked Qian to finish the rest of the story.

Qian Shi was angry when he heard Yi Shi say such things, but his face was still smiling like a flower, and he sneered at each other: "I was originally a fool, so I need a smart sister to rely on." It's a pity that some people like to be smart, even if they want people to give this blessing, no one wants to get close to them, does Igge think this kind of person should feel pitiful, or do they think it is ridiculous?"

Qian's insinuations, how could Yi not hear them. This time, she really had nothing to say, so she had to regain her cold and arrogant appearance, looked at the Qian family and his party with a false mouth, and then pretended to say to the servants and maids behind her: "Do you smell anything?" I didn't expect that there are such poor and sour people in the house, don't eat well, you have to learn from cows, horses and animals to eat wild grass." Forget it, it smells so bad, I'm going to vomit if I keep talking, it's really frustrating. ”

After saying this, Yi led her people to turn around and leave, leaving Qian Shi full of anger, who also lost interest in continuing to pick purslane, and went back to the yard to wait for me to come back and talk about it.

Qian is not the kind of person who will keep things in her heart for too long, and when she says these bad things, she will lose her temper. In the end, the plate of desserts on the table was swept away by her, and she drank a bowl of white fungus lotus seed soup before going to her room to rest. (To be continued.) )
