Chapter 32 Xiaohu Tengyuan
Ever since Beavor began investigating the kidnapping of the girl, he has become increasingly cold to Erin. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Erin thinks that Bifuel is working hard for herself, so even if she is ignored by Bifuel, she will suffer in silence.
By the time of November, Erin had already adapted to the life of chatting with civilian women. These simple women can talk about nothing more than a few things: husbands, children, and family income. In the course of the chat, Erin discovers that Bifuel does not give all of her salary to herself every week, but keeps a part of it privately.
Considering that she couldn't do any work and was supported by Bifuer, Erin didn't care about it. In order to ease the burden on Befour, she began to learn household chores from the neighbor's old woman, and is now able to help Beavor tidy up the room. She bought a few sets of clothes for civilian women, and sold her own sets of clothes for the eldest lady in exchange for some cash.
She had expected Beewell to praise her for this, but he acted as if he hadn't seen anything, and did whatever he had to do, much to Erin's heart. But even so, she still firmly believes that Bifuel loves her.
But on December 23, Erin became skeptical of her thoughts.
If Beamore worked hard for himself, then why didn't he tell himself about his promotion?
When Erin learned the news, Bifull had been promoted for more than a week, so it was impossible for him to hide the news because he wanted to surprise himself.
Could it be that Bilford has fallen in love with another woman?
Erin secretly finds Bifol's colleagues and asks them about the situation. Colleagues say that with the exception of her, Bifu rarely interacts with the opposite sex. Colleagues also said that Biller has been a little too obsessed with his work lately, sometimes not even eating, as if he was investigating a big case. Colleagues also said that Bifuel had recently been submitting applications to his superiors, apparently to be transferred from the patrol force to the Criminal Investigation Division.
The Criminal Investigation Department is an agency independent of the security forces and the patrol force, and is responsible for solving major and important cases, and often performs some of the more dangerous tasks. Because of this, the members of the Criminal Investigation Department are all elites in a hundred, and the salaries are also very high.
After Erin learned about the Criminal Investigation Department, she thought that Bifull did not look down on the position of patrol chief, and wanted to share happiness with Erin after achieving greater achievements, so she went home happily.
Hine and Beavor had contact in the Academy of Magic, but the limelight was stolen by Maier at that time, so Beavor did not impress Hine. Beafour's superiors didn't want to send his transfer application to the top because his rank was too low to meet the minimum standards of the Criminal Investigation Department. However, Bifull would write an application almost every day, which annoyed his superiors so much that he could only send Bifuel's transfer application to Hein.
In his application for transfer, Bifur made it clear that he had applied for a transfer in order to solve the kidnapping of the girl. In order to let the Criminal Investigation Department know his strength, he also wrote down the clues he had and his own analysis on the application. Bifur couldn't write, so he had to ask his colleagues who could write to help him write. Since Bifur had to write an application every day, he had to ask a different person for help every day.
Hine read Bifol's application carefully and then approved his request for transfer. On December 26, Beavor officially became a member of the Criminal Investigation Division. As a result, Beamore still did not tell Erin about it, and not only that, but he did not even return home that night.
This was big news for the patrolmen, so Erin learned the news that night. She thought that Bifuel would surprise her, but she didn't want to go home for seven days after entering the criminal investigation department.
He must be too responsible...... Must be too eager to solve the case......
Erin comforted herself with these words. But she knew in her heart that Bifuel didn't love her anymore - and yet Bifuel never loved her in the first place.
On January 2, 135 New Calendar, Maier and his party arrived at Yaolin City.
Yaolin City is the capital of Tengyan's territory and the third most prosperous city in Xiaohu's territory, with a permanent population of more than one million. Tayrong people are accustomed to celebrating the New Year, and January 1 to January 7 is the busiest time. On January 1st, the nobles of Taerong will worship their ancestors, and the commoners will also worship the sky and their ancestors. They prepare food and wine for worship in advance, either raw, smoked, pickled, or dried. The Tayyong people would lay out the food in the place of worship for a whole day, and then take it down the next day and eat it for the next six days.
The Tayyong people believe that these foods and drinks that have been sacrificed to the heavens and ancestors have been blessed by the heavens and their ancestors. Just eat these foods and drinks in your stomach, and blessings will come to them and give them good luck in the new year. It is worth mentioning that the food and alcohol used to worship the heavens and ancestors cannot be shared with other family members. The Tayyong people believe that doing so is disrespectful to the heavens and their ancestors, and will be punished by the heavens and their ancestors, so this is a taboo among the Tayyong people.
After coming to Yaolin City, Maier and his entourage were warmly welcomed by Xiaohu Tengyan. When he heard that Maier had brought a century-old wine and gifts, he couldn't open his eyes with a smile when he heard that he had brought a century-old wine. To Meier's surprise, the lords of the branch families to which the Xiaohu family belonged were all in Yaolin City, and even Xiaohu Tengyuan, whom Yishan admired the most, was also here.
Among the Taerong people, those with surnames are all high-class people, and ordinary commoners do not have surnames. For example, the ancestor of the Wayan family is called "Heidai", and "Hei" is not a surname, but a part of the name "Heidai". When the Heyan family became the head of the merchants in Liang Yuecheng, the descendants of the Ping Dynasty took "Heyan" as their surname.
Moreover, the descendants of the Ping Dynasty did not give themselves a surname casually, but the Xiaohu family gave them the right to "crown the surname" in order to win people's hearts. There are merchant families in this Yaolin City who are richer than the Heyan family, but because the Xiaohu family does not have the right to give them surnames, they can only say that they are "so-and-so from the so-and-so Chamber of Commerce" when they introduce themselves, and they can't call themselves "Heyan so-and-so" like the Heyan family.
Commoner families with surnames, the names are generally ranked down according to the generation, and the men and women are different, and the generations can be known by looking at the names. For example, he Yan Ruizhi knows that the male names of this generation are "Rui", and the female names are "Min", while the male names of Yan Zhiheng's generation are "Zhi", and the female names are "Xin".
The names of the Taeyong nobles are also different for men and women, but they are not very obvious in terms of generation. For example, the current head of the Xiaohu family, Xiaohu Connection, is a hyphen generation, but the Teng generation is not the younger generation of the hyphen generation, but the same generation of the hyphen generation. The female name on the side of the ligadon generation is "An", while the Tengzi generation uses "Yun".
The next generation of the hyphenated generation shares a set of names, the male name is "Xian", and the female name is "Zhen", and these people will be called the Xianzi generation; The next generation of the Tengzi generation also shares a set of names, the male name is "Sheng", and the female name is "Yi", and these people will be called the Shengzi generation.
With the ligature generation and the Tengzi generation of the same generation, there are also class generations, there are character generations, comic generations, etc., these people of the same generation and their ancestors, fathers, descendants of the small family is called a "family", and the family that gets the position of the head of the family will be called "the family". The family can make decisions on behalf of the entire family, and it can also control the individual divisions to a certain extent.
According to the jurisprudence of the Taeyong nobility, the head of the family is elected by the members of the family who have the status of lord. In fact, the previous head of the family was the father of the Tengzi generation, which means that before Xiaohu was connected and did not become the head of the family, the Tengzi generation could enjoy the treatment of the family. But after Xiaohu Liantong was elected as the head of the family, the Tengzi generation became a separate family and lost the power that the family had.
Originally, the position of the head of the family should belong to Xiaohu Tengyuan, which is the most popular, but Xiaohu Liantong made a lot of small moves before the election, and many family members who split up were caught by him and had to vote for him, so Xiaohu Liantong was elected as the head of the family. The other divisions have always been very unconvinced by Xiaohu Connect, but Xiaohu Connector is a good player in politics, and he relies on the means of borrowing strength to stabilize his regime. By the time everyone saw through his strategy and wanted to unite to overthrow him, the strength of the family was already outstanding.
Xiaohu Yunxin of the Tengzi generation is Maier's mother, and she told him these things when Maier was very young. In Meier's cognition, Xiaohu is connected to a greedy old fox, and at least half of the Xiaohu family is looking forward to his early death. But God does not fulfill people's wishes, Xiaohu Connect is 125 years old this year, but he still did not die.
That night, Teng Yan invited Maier to the family banquet, and also gave him the food that had been sacrificed to the heavens and ancestors, apparently treating him as his own. However, the three fiancées other than Yishan did not get the food that had been sacrificed to the heavens and ancestors, so in order to prevent the family members from misunderstanding, Teng Yan specially asked people to make different dishes for them to distinguish them.
At the banquet, Teng Yan solemnly introduced Maier to the family members. When everyone heard that Mel was Gray? Byrons's son immediately became enthusiastic. Maier took the opportunity to ask Teng Yan to be engaged to Yishan, and Teng Yan agreed to his request on the spot when he saw Maier being so good.
The envious, jealous and hateful eyes of the family members made Teng Yan enjoy it very much. He turned his gaze to his eldest brother Tengyuan, and saw that his old god was drinking in the seat where he was sitting, and his heart was a little unhappy. In fact, when he was young, Teng Yan admired this eldest brother who was more than forty years older than him, and when Tengyuan lost the election of the head of the family, he persuaded Tengyuan to send troops to seize the position of the head of the family, but Tengyuan refused.
Teng Yuan is a very law-abiding person. He knew that Xiaohu Connection had obtained the position of head of the family by intrigue and trickery, but no matter what, he became the head of the family through legal procedures. If he sent troops for this reason, Teng Yuan would become a thief, so he would refuse Teng Yan's request.
At that time, Tengyan did not have his own territory. When Teng Yan got married, Teng Yuan gave Liang Yuecheng to him as a gift. After that, Teng Yan used Liangyue City as a base and expanded rapidly. He managed to recapture Yaolin City, which originally belonged to Tengyuan, from his own family, and at this time, Teng Yan no longer worshiped Tengyuan, but regarded him as a pedantic martial idiot and looked down on him.
Today's Tengyuan only has the territory of Chunshan City. Chunshan City is the most prosperous city in the territory of the Xiaohu family, with a permanent population more than three times that of Yaolin City, and the urban area is larger than the administrative area of Liangyue City.
There is a Tairong poet who made a poem after going to Chunshan City, the poem said: "Looking at the mountain side city from afar, looking at the mountain in the city from close, the seven entry is endless, and the boat must be returned." ”
Chunshan Castle was built near a big mountain, but there are still a few small hills in the city, so there is a situation of "looking at the edge of the mountain from afar, and looking at the mountain in the city from close". The poet passed through seven gates in a row before reaching the end of the city, and finally got lost in the city with a complex city wall. There are many rivers in Chunshan Castle, and when tourists get lost, locals usually suggest that they take a boat and walk along the river so that they don't get lost.
In the city of Chunshan, there are not only mountains and rivers, but also large areas of farmland. These farmlands are the property of the Xiaohu family, and they are specially used to grow food for the army. The administrative scope of Chunshan Castle is also very large, including the surrounding large plains and the large mountain that stands next to Chunshan Castle, and it is extremely rich in natural resources.
At that time, Tengyuan had big cities such as Chunshan City and Yaolin City in his hands, as long as he was willing to raise troops to oppose Xiaohu Connection, Xiaohu Connection would definitely fail. Teng Yan has a deep grudge against this, the longer Xiaohu is connected to be the head of the family, the deeper Teng Yan's resentment towards Teng Yuan becomes, and now it is even to the point of wanting to kill him and snatch Chunshan City into his hands.
Teng Yuan was very clear about Teng Yan's thoughts, but after receiving Teng Yan's invitation, he still came to Yaolin City. He is not afraid of Teng Yan plotting against himself, because he is very confident in his skills. And he knew the purpose of Teng Yan looking for him, so the old god was sitting in the seat and drinking.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, the ladies soon had enough to eat and drink. The men coaxed their women off the table and let them leave the banquet with their children. After this, the lords, who still kept their heads up, began to talk about business.
