Chapter 97

In the eleventh year of Xingping, spring. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Splendid Taiyuan, Shengji Jinyang.

The scale of the city of Daqi is generally not large enough, in order not to attract the eyes of the emperor, but also to enjoy themselves, the vast majority of the families will build their own dock forts on the outskirts of the city. But Jinyang was once the capital of Zhao State, and then repeatedly expanded, and Taiyuan's current county guard Dou Kai is a greedy for pleasure. After he became the county guard, he openly occupied the best piece of land in the south of Jinyang City, built a large number of buildings, spent countless resources, and built his own dock fort, like a city within a city. In terms of magnificence and ingenuity, it is not much worse than the palace of Jiankang.

"Specializing in women's work, lustful and extravagant" The name of Taiyuan County Shou Dou Kai, who resounded in Daqi, naturally did not wronged himself, in his mansion, in addition to the utensils, the most is an innumerable number of singers and beautiful women. If the appearance is a little inferior, don't say that you are ahead, you don't even have the qualifications to enter the inner courtyard and be a rough sweeper.

The perennial indulgence made Dou Kai, a rather heroic middle-aged man, have dark eyes and a little sluggish, which should have made people disgusted when they saw it. But when he looked at the beautiful woman, his eyes did not see the slightest cloudiness, let alone greed and desire, only shrewdness and sharpness.

There are many people who underestimate sinus opening, both men and women. But the men who were hostile to him and looked down on him because of their appearances have been beaten to the dust by him. The woman who is conceited and beautiful and thinks that she can play him around, even if she is lucky not to die, she doesn't know what dirty places she has been dealt with, and life is better than death. Dou Kai's life is getting better and better, more and more nourishing.

On this day, Dou Kai ordered the excellent singers and dancers in the family to come to the side hall to enjoy the beautiful dance while drinking.

Kneeling beside Dou Kai, wearing a light green shirt and combing a woman's hair ornament, the beautiful woman held a small and delicate gold pot, endured the pain on her body, and carefully poured wine into the white jade bottle, but accidentally spilled some fine wine on the table.

Seeing that Dou Kai moved his gaze over, the woman was busy begging for mercy: "The slave is wrong, please forgive the slave this time......"

"Green, lift your sleeves." Dou Kai said unhurriedly, "Don't try to coax me, I have already smelled the smell of blood on your body...... Show me your wounds. ”

Hearing his order, Lu Yi gently lifted the wide sleeves of her coat, and saw that her plain white and smooth arms were shocking with blood.

After a slight glance, Dou Kai retracted his gaze and wrote lightly: "With a daughter-in-law, after you need to set an example, it is different from before." Sanniang's temper has gotten better and better in recent years. ”

His words did not carry any irony, just simply stated the facts, and Lu Yi lowered his head, not daring to answer anything.

Dou Kai likes beauties, but he likes the new and hates the old very much, and the smart concubines think about their future, and they all change their ways to please Dou Kai's wife Li, competing to serve her and be a slave for her. I hope to leave a good impression on the Li family, after Dou Kai is disgusted with herself, the Li family's housewife can give them a place to stay, not for luxury and wealth, but for peace and clothing, and greenery is also one of them. But no matter how cautious they were, as soon as they heard that their husband had spent the night with her, the Li family would torture them in a different way, and the whip was indeed very light compared to the usual beating to death and driving them out.

Seeing the green mantis hanging down slightly, revealing the ivory-like white and delicate skin on the neck, Dou Kai couldn't help but feel a wave in his heart.

He was pampering Luyi, and he was still in the mood, and he didn't want her to have more scars on her body, and he lost his interest. After pondering for a moment, he said slowly: "This trip, you can go with me!" ”

When I heard the greenery, I was overjoyed.

Although she can't meddle in foreign affairs, she also knows that Xu Heng, the eldest grandson of the Xu family of the Shangdang, and the daughter of the daughter of Guangling Cui Lang, will get married in June this year. Dou Kai's so-called trip means that in the near future, he will leave Jinyang and go to his eldest son to attend the wedding of Xu Heng and Cui Lin, the young lady of the Cui family.

As we all know, two years ago, a slave offended Xu Pan by making disrespectful remarks, and even led a caravan to be driven out of Huguan. According to the bandit logic of the family, it is natural for such a rude slave to be executed, and the people of the Xu family only drove the other party out of the territory, and even the goods were not collected, completely for the sake of the face of Donglai Fan and Qingzhou Mu Shen Fu, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is benevolent and righteous. Unexpectedly, Shen Fu's wife, Shen, did not distinguish between right and wrong, and when she listened to Fan Xian's words and did not understand the truth at all, she first convicted Xu Hui, and also said nothing, openly claiming that Xu Pan was narrow, Xu Hui had no tutor, and no one would ask for it in the future. provoked Xu Pan to be furious, not only cut off the supply and trade of all the specialties of the Shangdang Xu family to the Qingzhou family, but also became an enemy with Qingzhou Mu Shen Fu.

After the news of this incident, Fan was regarded as a model of "living too smoothly, so that no one was in sight", so angry that she did not participate in any social activities for most of the year, and Shen Fu was also ridiculed because of "fear of guilt". The relationship between the two families that could have eased was fueled by people with good intentions, and the gossip that spread bigger and bigger, for the sake of their own face, there was no possibility of recovery.

Qingxu Erzhou family even if there is internal fighting, but the outside is the same breath, the same advance and retreat, Guangling County is located in Xuzhou County, Guangling Cui is Xuzhou surname. Because of this, when they learned that Xu Ze proposed to the Cui family for the eldest grandson, but he still had a bad relationship with Shen Fu and did not resume trade with the Qingzhou family, everyone was dumbfounded and didn't know what to do.

If Xu Ze's actions are just to surprise everyone, Cui Yuan, the owner of the Cui family, disregarded the faint disapproval of the Qingzhou family and the face of Qingzhou Mu Shen Fu, so he should get married, and also agreed with Xu Ze that the marriage must be handled in a big way, and the behavior of entertaining countless guests is more and more confusing. They don't understand, Cui Yuan's marriage is his personal move, or is it a precursor to the gradual disagreement between the Qingzhou family and the Xuzhou family, and the Xuzhou family can't bear these years The Qingzhou family has gradually become dominant, rather than the equal status of both parties, and intends to split?

If it weren't for the fact that it involved such a major political significance that could almost shake the entire Daqi political arena, how could the wedding of a junior in Xu Heng be a big deal? What's more, two years ago, Xu Ze had a conversation with him in Yangzhai, and Dou Kai is still unforgettable.

Mrs. Anxin, changed the county into a country, the prince and the subordinate officials became the rulers and officials of the county, forced to be loyal to the name, no matter how unwilling the family surnamed Bei was, they could not resist the decree, so they could only let this nail be pierced, and they could not solve it in a conventional way, like a hot potato, and they were in a dilemma...... If you say that two years ago, Dou Kai just wanted to sneer at Xu Ze's inference, and said in his heart You are worried about Xie Jun's arrival and want to join forces with me, you don't have to be so alarmist and fall into your name in vain. But now, two years later, Dou Kai has to admire Xu Ze's wisdom and foresight. Because just half a year ago, Mrs. Anxin Yan Shun gave birth to a prince, and the saint was overjoyed, and when the little prince was full of moon, he was canonized as the king of Changle County, and gave him all kinds of generous treatment that made the prince blush. is so favored, if the saint lives a little longer, he will give the king of Changle a few more levels, and tear the earth to seal the king, how can it be impossible?

The family surnamed Bei who occupied the northern land was originally a thorn in the heart of the saint, and the great northern land, in addition to Jingzhao, who was coerced by the Qiang people, should be the richest in Taiyuan - the wealth and tranquility of the Shangdang, thanks to Xu Ze's good governance, Taiyuan's wealth is a gift from God. If Dou Kai changed himself, he would also choose Taiyuan between Taiyuan and Shangdang.

It was precisely because of the mustard in their hearts that Dou Kai and Xie Jun pushed the cup and changed the lamp countless times, but they never let go, and promised the two families to deal with the matter of the Shangdang Xu family together.

Thinking of these troubles, Dou Kai lost the interest in listening to songs and dancing, waved his hand to let everyone retreat, and sat quietly in the empty hall for a while, carefully considering what he should talk about with Xu Ze after going to Changzi County. And along the way, what should he do, so that he can not only perfunctory Xie Jun, but also not let him see the clue and push it to the side of the Shangdang Xu family.

"Brother, why have you been frowning these days?" Xu Hui didn't know Dou Kai's entanglement, let alone his own plan of merging and dividing, and he had succeeded most of it. At this time, she was looking at her brother-in-law, and joked with a smile, "People who are about to get married will be considered greedy if they all make such an appearance!" ”

Xu Heng glanced at Xu Hui angrily, although he didn't mean to attack his sister, the coldness in his words did not diminish at all: "What virtue does Cui Lin have, will you know?" ”

Hearing this, Xu Hui gradually restrained his smile, not knowing what to say.

Whether it is Cui Lin himself, or the head and mother of the Guangling Cui family, it is the status of the Guangling Cui family, which is exactly in line with Xu Ze's intentions and standards - Guangling Cui is quite a member of the Xuzhou family, but he has no great attainments in politics and military affairs, Cui Yuan's ears are soft, his wife Zhou's eyelids are shallow, Cui Lin was born beautiful, but he is extremely arrogant.

"Each meal must have thirty-two dishes, sixteen hot dishes, six cold cuts, six hot soups, and four or more dim sums, and they must be properly paired and carefully cooked, and each plate must have more than five ingredients for the mixture, and this meal alone will cost at least eight thousand dollars." Thinking of the news he heard, Xu Heng's face became worse and worse, "I have to make a box of clothes every month, and if I get a little dust, I will order someone to burn it, even if I am the favorite clothes, I will not wear them more than three times...... More than 200,000 dollars are spent on this every month......"

The more Xu Hui listened, the lower his head was buried.

Xu Heng didn't know that his sister was also involved in this matter, so he nodded and complained to Xu Hui: "If it's extravagant, it doesn't hurt, like the third aunt, she is good at teaching, and she gradually has a simple style." But Cui Lin is really too vicious, the slaves and maids who serve her are a little unsatisfactory, or she herself is in a bad mood, so she changes her ways to torture them, and it is still light to beat half a life by beating the board, and it is common for people to kneel on the porcelain for two or three hours...... Thinking of such a poisonous woman, she will be with me for the rest of her life, how can my mood be better? (To be continued.) )
