Chapter 624: Settle on a family affair

In this Lagasi's house, there is an endless stream of people who take the initiative to introduce him, and they surround Ragassi morning and evening, and even if Ragasi picks up customers, they will invite famous lobbyists to lobby at his house. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Cheng Qianxun walked to the gate of the city to inspect the newly opened market in front of the city. There are so many merchants who come to play that only a vacant lot outside the city gate is used as a market, and the city is a place to rest and complete the transaction notarization.

"Queen, Queen!" Ragassi chased after him. But before he could get closer, he was stopped by the guards on the left and right.

"Ragassi, good brother. You are developed now, and the queen still has something to do, so you should go back and come back after you get married. "Several guards were desperate to stop Ragassi from approaching.

Cheng Qianxun sat in front of the palace and the temple to preside over the matter, and anyone who had any questions could come forward and ask.

She rolled her eyes when she saw Lagassi coming.

I saw Lagaci standing in front of him and bowing, and before he could speak, Cheng Qianxun stood up: "I have an order now." ”

She raised her head slightly, couldn't look at Lagassi, and announced directly: "Because the population of Ekashgar is too small, from today onwards, everyone who has reached the age of eighteen must get married. If they do not marry, they will be exiled or married directly by the temple! ”

Laws have already been enacted, and the reason is bright, to increase the population! Speechless for a moment, Ragassi stomped his feet and turned to leave.

Two days later, Cheng Qianxun called for Ragassi to be called.

She leaned back on the mat and asked lazily, "Three days are up, have you decided on the right person?" ”

Ragassi went from being happy to being depressed. He sat on his knees, his head bowed: "Why does the queen have to let me get married?" ”

The corners of her mouth lifted slightly, and she softened her voice: "Because I don't want to see you delayed, animals try to find females every season, because they know that after this season, they don't know if they will live until the next season." So leave something behind before you die. You're smarter than them, why don't you understand that? ”

Cheng Qianxun sat up and pushed a plate of sand dates in front of Ragasi.

After seeing Lagassi pick up one and silently stuff it into her mouth, she began to persuade: "You are not small anymore, in the past, because of your low official position, you didn't have enough money, and there were few people to help you go to propose." Now that you are an auxiliary minister, you have enough money to support a large family, and I will pay for the dowry, why are you still stubborn? ”

But Lagassi just didn't speak, as a courtier, he could only carry out orders, and had no way and power to refute.

"Queen!" A guard came in and said, "King Erica has sent someone." ”

"Please come in!" She straightened up and sat down.

Erica's messenger came in, carrying the gift that Regel was going to forward. A small golden donkey made of gold was carried in by eight strong men, and the eyes were set with precious stones.

The messenger looked at the clay tablet and said loudly, "The queen killed the donkey to entertain me, and now she will repay it with a golden donkey, and I hope the queen will accept it with a smile." ”

"That's a lot of money!" Cheng Qianxun stood up, walked up to the golden donkey, and touched it with his hand. In the end, it is still golden, golden, and full of weight. smiled and said, "I like it, I want it." ”

He walked back to the mat and turned around, but before he could sit down, he saw the messenger's eyes fixed on Ragasi, who was sitting beside him.

Cheng Qianxun sat down, looked back and forth a few times, as if he understood something, so he asked, "Why do you keep looking at my minister?" Is there anything wrong with him? ”

After thinking about it, the envoy said with a smile: "I heard that Lagassi is the queen's important minister, and I have come three times before and after, and each time I see him sitting next to the queen. ”

It is not explicitly stated, but the meaning is already obvious. She sneered and said tepidly: "It's important, I have already made him an auxiliary minister, and he has been promoted several levels in just one month, which is enough to prove his weight by my side." ”

The messenger laughed meaningfully: "Yes, yes! ”

Cheng Qianxun tilted his head slightly: "As long as I trust it, I will naturally be promoted." Not only to be promoted, but also to make him have everything. It just so happened that in the past few days, I asked him to choose a suitable girl to marry, and I heard that Erica's woman is strong and beautiful, so I should let King Erica recommend a few to come over and let him choose. As long as the woman is good, she doesn't care which country she belongs to. ”

As soon as he heard that he was going to help Lagassi choose a wife, the envoy was stunned for a moment, and his reaction was quite fast, and he immediately smiled and said: "The women of Ekashi are called special, and I am afraid that our women there will not be favored by Lord Lagassi." When I returned, I told the king to see if there was anything suitable. ”

"yes, okay." Cheng Qianxun raised his head and pointed to the box carried by the guard next to him: "It just so happens that the newly collected taxes are going to King Erica, since you are here, then you will transport them along the way." Say hello to your king on my behalf! ”

After the messenger left, Cheng Qianxun looked at Lagassi, who kept his head down in contemplation.

Needless to say, it's obvious. She is a queen, not a king. And she is now in the sensitive period of recruiting relatives, and she has always been accompanied by a young, unmarried male minister, who will be somewhat suspicious.

If he hadn't just said that he would find a wife for Ragassi, the envoy would inevitably say that even if he didn't tell the truth, King Erica would have some uncomfortable pimples in his heart after hearing this.

Cheng Qianxun said softly: "I don't want to recruit relatives either, but I have to do this." Sometimes people have to do things they don't want to do in order to make life better for other people. Maybe what you don't want to do is really done, not only is it not as bad as you imagined, but it may also be good. So Ragassi, go back and think about it. ”

Ragassi lowered his head and said softly, "I know, forgive me for leaving." ”

Cheng Qianxun nodded, smiling as he watched Lagassi go out. She lay down and let out a long breath. I hope that Ragassi can turn back and live the life that a normal person should live after marrying.

She's an undead who will disappear after completing her mission in another month and a half, and shouldn't be a drag on anyone anymore.

The fingers unconsciously pinched the pendant around the neck again, and the peace in my heart rippled slightly.

"Julian." She whispered, as if she had touched the pendant and watched the Immortal King beside her.

Following the man who had disappeared whispered, the sorrow inevitably rippled away: "Can you still hear it, are you okay?" I don't know if I regret it... You're so stupid, so stupid. ”

With his eyes closed and the pendant clutched tightly in his hand, Julian's slender figure seemed to emerge from deep memories, his handsome face smiling gently as before. The slightest cramping in my heart is like a small piece of flesh on the edge of my heart with a needle, gently pulling. If Julian hadn't loved her so much, she wouldn't have survived now.

It was the first time she had held the pendant without speaking to Hades, and it was the first, and perhaps the last.

"Queen!" A maid ran in, and there was news: "Lord Ragassi has chosen." ”

"Really?" Cheng Qianxun sat up, it was only ten minutes, and it was decided so quickly: "Which one is it?" ”

The maid replied, "As soon as Lagassi left the palace, he was surrounded by a group of people who came to be matchmakers, and he pointed to it casually, and said that it was the person you introduced, and it was so chosen. ”

"Nonsense!" Cheng Qianxun slapped his hand on the ground, and he was so angry that he was about to tremble: "Call the person he chose, let me see." Say to him, if I am not satisfied with the person he chooses, I will call the shots! ”

Looking at the young girl kneeling in front of her, she looked up a few times, and felt that she was very beautiful, and should be a match for Ragassi. Cheng Qianxun relieved his heart at this time. And the father of the girl who accompanied him was also a minister in the court. In the past, of course, Lagassi did not deserve this family, but now it is different.

This kid is really lucky, he pointed to one casually with his eyes closed, and it was not bad. I am not afraid to point out the cousin niece of the Minister of Finance who is as fat as Yang Guifei, or the pock-faced local tyrant who is related to the former king.

She lowered her voice a lot: "How old are you?" ”

The girl's voice was like a mosquito: "Sixteen years old." ”

Sixteen years old is exactly a good age to get married in this era. looks good, and the family should be looking for a good family for her.

Cheng Qianxun asked a few more questions, and the girl answered them one by one, although her childishness had not faded, but she answered them one by one, unlike some girls, who knelt and trembled when they met officials and ministers, and stammered when they answered.

If you're too honest, isn't it even more unpopular with Lagassi? It's not bad, I should be able to persuade him to go back to Ragassi slowly in the future.

Cheng Qianxun was finally relieved, and said to the girl's father: "Fifty sheep, ten cows, two hundred silver coins, and twenty whole pieces of cloth." These are as dowry gifts, I don't know if it's okay? ”

The dowry for business was only ten or twenty sheep, and so many were given at once, as well as two hundred silver coins, which was so rich that it made people's hearts tremble. Besides, it was the queen who paid the dowry, and the minister hurriedly prostrated on the ground: "Thank you for the marriage!" ”

"Well, the dowry will be brought to your house in the afternoon, and when the high priest arranges a good day, the marriage will be completed immediately." Cheng Qianxun made up his mind like this, and did not forget to instruct: "Lagassi has no parents and brothers, and your daughter will not suffer if she marries in the future." You also have to treat him as a son, he is young and doesn't understand these things like marriage, so you have to take care of him more. ”

The minister hurriedly agreed: "Since the queen said so, the rest of the things will be arranged by my family, and Lord Lagassi will only get married then." ”

"Hmm~" She smiled and nodded: "If you want to do something for a man, you don't have to be embarrassed." Just come to me, I'll tell someone to do it! ”

The minister, of course, was pleased, so he took his daughter and retired.

As soon as the girl left, Cheng Qianxun said to the maid: "The offering of the gods should be given, let the person who sent it tell the high priest that the good days are not too late, and they will see it in three days, at most five days." ”

If she dares to delay it for a month or half a month, she will go to the temple for the night, and then let the fat high priest pray, this time let him stand for a night!

Of course, the high priest is not stupid, and when the woman's family goes to pick a good day, he insists that it will be a good day in two days. And if you miss this time, the two of you may have to drag it out for a long time. (To be continued.) )
