Chapter 258 The Brocade Fight of the Concubine 1
After Gu Xiaoxiao hurriedly browsed a few pages of the unlocked commodity attributes, she raised her head and glanced at the doctor who was sulking alone and said, "Why does this mall look weird, what is the purpose of those goods?" ”
In the face of Gu Xiaoxiao's sincere question, the doctor snorted and turned his back, leaving only a butt for people to admire. He is a principled and disciplined system king, so he doesn't want to answer questions to the host who snubs him.
Gu Xiaoxiao, who is familiar with the doctor's temperament, touched her nose in a gloomy way, and the arrogant system Jun began to lose her temper again, how could she have a sense of immediacy with a child.
"Ahem, long time no see, the doctor looks more and more handsome!" Gu Xiaoxiao cheekily slapped her ass, and the doctor twisted his body in the other direction and snorted again.
It seems that the shadow area of the doctor's young mind this time is a bit large, and after many tasks, Gu Xiaoxiao has become accustomed to the existence of the doctor. And because he was happy to upgrade after the completion of this mission, he was patient and coaxed like a child, laughing and laughing so that the doctor finally turned around.
"Okay, read on the fact that I've lost it for so long, and answer my doubts."
The doctor's handsome little face bulged into a bun-shaped, floating cross-legged above the screen, and pouted, "Since it is an exchange mall, it is naturally exchanged by willingness." But you're too little willing now.,You may drop the level after the exchange.,The mall will be automatically locked after the drop.,Only if you go up again.,You can use the mall's props.。 ”
Gu Xiaoxiao couldn't complain about this cheating father's exchange, it was full of hundreds or thousands of goods, and she would be downgraded after the exchange, and then she couldn't use these useless things. Conclusion. For her, it would be good to take a look at the mall at the moment.
The mall problem was solved, and Gu Xiaoxiao asked shamelessly: "The competition before the time and space manager." What's going on, I'm now at the C level, can I participate? ”
Speaking of the competition, Gu Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up suddenly, as if she saw a lot of points beckoning to her, and this illusion has become more and more serious after several tasks.
The doctor didn't directly throw Gu Xiaoxiao into the task this time, he changed his childish appearance. Said solemnly: "In order to better maintain the stability and prosperity of each time and space, the Time and Space Administration regularly holds competitions to select outstanding managers who can advance. Of course, this involves a more complex system, and we will talk about it until you get to that level. Since you're new to Tier C, you can play the easiest sparring matches. However, you must know that a lot of points will be deducted if you fail the mission. It's likely to be downgraded. ”
"Then if you succeed, you can double your points?"
Gu Xiaoxiao asked with a fluttering eyebrow. She rarely has the experience of failure, and she always has a fluke on challenges.
The doctor is not as optimistic as Gu Xiaoxiao, it is bound to the interests of the host, and if the host is downgraded, it will also lose a lot of permissions. Due to the rules, the system must follow the rules of time management and keep many things secret unless the host meets certain conditions.
"It's not as simple as you think, the opponents are random. The opponent may have reached the C-rank peak and has many skills, or purchased the Celestial Rebellion item in the mall......"
Speaking of which, in the end. The Doctor's words were filled with pity, as it knew that the host was probably the least skilled, and rarely relied on external forces for tasks, and was almost always one of the few space-time managers on its own. Self-reliance is good, but for those managers who focus on skills and props, can the host really defeat the other party as they wish?
The Doctor is not pouring cold water, he is genuinely worried about the host, and the two of them have a stake.
Gu Xiaoxiao listened carefully to the doctor's explanation, and thought about whether she would wait for her willingness to increase and buy props before starting the competition, or start the competition immediately. Relax and say, anyway, it's a big deal to lose points and drop down, and it's not completely gone.
After struggling, Gu Xiaoxiao raised her head and said firmly: "I choose to compete, and I always have to try to be deep and shallow." ”
The doctor sighed like a rare little adult, then got up, looked at Gu Xiaoxiao with compassionate eyes and said, "Okay, good luck, I can't help you screen the task of the competition, this is completely random, and the opponent is also random." Come back early, I'll be waiting for you. ”
The sentence I am waiting for you made Gu Xiaoxiao's heart warm slightly, she was about to say something sensual and exchange feelings with the system jun who incarnated as a warm-hearted Zhengtai, but her eyes were white but she had already been kicked to the interface where the task was opened.
The flowing picture slowly unfolds, and it is another treacherous story.
Tianfeng Kingdom is a legendary country, its founding emperor Qiankun Shuangdi, is a pair of childhood sweethearts, in order to resist the tyranny of the previous dynasty, simply established a new state. It is said that in the founding era of the country, women could also enter the court as officials and generals in the army, and it was a legendary era when women had a glory that women had never had in the past.
It was a prosperous era, an era in which countless heroines left their names in history, but the glory only lasted for less than 50 years. When the two emperors of Qiankun passed away one after another, the Tianfeng Kingdom, under the influence of other countries, gradually resumed the tradition of male superiority and female inferiority.
However, history has brought some good changes to this country, such as although the women of Tianfeng Kingdom did not have the opportunity to worship the marquis later, at least not like those distant predecessors and neighboring women, who were confined to the attic and did not go out of the door, and blind marriage became a tool for marriage.
Although women can't be officials with real power, they have their own female department, and they can be female historians and compilers who come out on top, and women's history is more convenient to walk in the harem than men's history. The women of the Tianfeng Kingdom can walk outside, and they will not be regarded as immoral water-based poplars. In this way, there is no shortage of men in all dynasties who do not let their eyebrows be bearded, and they have broken a way in the business sea. Although they can't enter the court, women can open women's households, and if they don't have a son-in-law, they can also inherit the door.
In this way, the Tianfeng Kingdom has been inherited for more than 400 years, and the momentum of the world will be divided for a long time, and the emperor of the dynasty is bent on seeking immortals and asking, the only heirs are either weak or mediocre, so the dispute for the throne of the court is coming.
Tianshui City is rich in silk, among which Mingguang brocade is the most. Only two horses are produced every year for the royal use, followed by the Yunjin Shanggong Imperial Court, which is not available to non-dignitaries. Tianshui City is famous for its silk fabrics, and there are countless weavings in the city. The cloth merchants are like clouds, among which three families are precious, and the triennial battle for tribute is decided from the three families. And Tianshui City also has a triennial Doujin Competition.
These three families are the Luo family, the Yun family, the Tu Lan family, according to legend, one of the ancestors of the Tu Lan family is the guard next to the founding emperor of Tianfeng State, and the other is the female red next to Emperor Kun. Legend has it that the fabric weaving method that the Tulan family started at the beginning was handed down by the amazing and brilliant Emperor Kun. It's just that three hundred years have passed. The Tu Lan family has declined, and the former secret method has been lost, leaving only the old brocade method that the family has explored to support it.
In this generation, the Tu Lan family may have a problem with the ancestral tomb. Perhaps for other reasons, the boys of the cursive generation in the family are always unable to raise them, and most of them die before the age of four or five, but the girls are more beautiful than the other. So in the middle of the three rooms. It's all daughters. After giving birth to a son, she was full of joy and sorrow, and then everyone was looking forward to giving birth to a daughter. It's strange that there are very few men in Tu Lan's life, and there are many fewer sufferings of early death.
The descendants are all women, and the Luo Yun family couldn't help but have the idea of the daughter of the Tu Lan family, if they can marry the future head of the Tu Lan family, even if they can't get the big business of the Tu Lan family, they can share some oil and water.
The three have been fighting for so long. How could the Tu Lan family not see the ill intentions of the other two families, and the left and right generations were all girls. They simply raised these girls as boys, and chose the most talented ones to inherit the family business, regardless of their descendants. This decision caused Tianshui City to be greatly shaken, after all, in the Tianfeng Kingdom, the distinction between the descendants and the concubines was more difficult to overcome than the difference between men and women. Those who have concubines in the family will be ridiculed if they pass on the family business to the concubines over the concubines.
Emperor Kun once said that marriage is a good thing for two surnames, and the son born by the concubine has both blood, and the son born to the concubine only has the blood of the man, so how can he cross the birth. When this theory was first introduced, it set off a lot of storms, and then everyone slowly accepted it and became accustomed to it. Most of the families adhere to this inheritance method, but the private merchants, the wife does not look at the family and marries low, so the distinction between the descendants is not so distinct.
Tu Lanxuan is ranked fifth, she is the daughter of the third room, there is a sister above, and two twin sisters below, her mother lost her body when she gave birth to her, but she did not experience the pain of losing her child, and the remaining two aunts have experienced the joy and sorrow of having a son and losing a child. Although the new generation of Tu Lan's family has no men, there are thirteen daughters in the three rooms, except for the youngest five, who have no family business, and the remaining eight are raised as boys.
The eight girls stand together in a painting, young and almost the same, and the fat swallow is thin and beautiful. Although the three rooms are brothers, they all want to let the family business fall into their own house, and now the head of the family can make a decision to pass his son and directly hand over the family business to his daughter, so that the granddaughters who are tied by blood compete with each other to choose the final winner, which can be regarded as a ruthless role.
A few girls do not learn piano and chess and other methods of entertainment, read and learn all kinds of brocade books, follow the cloth workshop to be familiar with every process, and lay the foundation for future successors. Tu Lanwei and Tu Lanluo and Tu Lanhui each have their own strengths, and they are the most outstanding of the eight daughters before the age of ten. But later Tu Lanwei contracted a vicious illness and died, Tu Lanluo became a family ugly before marriage and was sent out, Tu Lanhui was frightened when she went out to visit the garden, and her spirit was good and bad, so she naturally had no chance with the heir.
Although Tu Lanxuan is a concubine, she has always been unknown, she is sensitive by nature, and she always feels that there must be something hidden behind the accident of the three sisters. There are too many things hidden in the door of the mansion, Tu Lanxuan is getting older, and she is creepy about those ghost tricks, and she is more and more cautious for fear of getting a little bit into it, but Tu Lanxuan does not fight, but her mother is bent on competing with Aunt Rou in the third room. Aunt Rou was originally a girl in the room next to the third master, but after the third grandmother entered the door, she became an aunt out of affection, and luckily the first one was born Tu Lanyun.
After a cold storm when Tu Lanyun was seven years old, Aunt Rou suddenly became favored and compared the third grandmother with the remaining two concubines. She was originally the oldest among the three wives and concubines, and she raised them day by day, looking even younger than the third aunt who entered the door later. The third master always has to stay in Aunt Rou's room for half a month, and he attaches great importance to her, and compares the three grandmothers with his words.
The third grandmother, Song Shizi, is the youngest daughter of a scholarly family in Tianshui City, who was favored at home and read some poetry and books, and also had some research on textiles, but compared with Aunt Rou who was immersed in weaving in Tulan's house at the age of eight or nine. For various reasons, the third grandmother was unwilling to be pressed by Aunt Rou, so she asked Tu Lanxuan to compare Tu Lanyun with her face, even if she couldn't get the position of the head of the family, she couldn't let Tu Lanyun get it.
Tu Lanxuan did not agree with her mother's radical approach, and she vaguely felt that Sister Shu was extraordinary, and her mother might not be able to please her in front of her. Therefore, every time her mother asked Tu Lanxuan to do her hands and feet secretly, she was more perfunctory and did not care to do it.
The dispute over the next head of Tu Lan's family has become a novelty in Tianshui City, and the gambling house even opened a gambling game, betting on who will have the last laugh in Tu Lan's flower-like daughter's family.
The battle for tribute brocade is held once every three years, and most of the time the three families take turns to sit in the village, but in the past ten years, somehow, the Tu Lan family made a mistake in the final event and lost the qualification for that round of tribute. Tianshui City was originally a famous silk brocade city, but without the aura of the imperial merchants, the business of the Tu Lan family almost plummeted. At this time, Tu Lanyun, who was also unknown on weekdays, turned the tide and launched a special brocade called red leaf brocade, which opened up sales channels in Tianshui City and won a game.
Tu Lanyun has also become a popular person in the next family, but the weaving method of this red leaf brocade is not studied by Tu Lanyun alone. Tu Lanxuan has no dispute for power, loves brocade, and likes to study the weaving of various brocades. This red leaf brocade was an idea that she had by chance when she and Tu Lanyun were learning brocade together, and later tried to weave half of it and encountered difficulties, so the two planned to study it slowly. Unexpectedly, Tu Lanyun overcame the last problem behind her back, and dedicated the red leaf brocade to the family in her own name.
Others don't know the twists and turns, the Song family hugged the grievances for her daughter, she asked the third master to theorize, but the husband who knotted the hair didn't believe her. For the third master, as long as the daughter of the third room inherits the family business, they are all his children, and he admires the dignified Tu Lanyun more than Tu Lanxuan, and he doesn't think that Tu Lanxuan will have the dexterity to weave red leaf brocade. In order to prevent the Song family from pouring dirty water on Tu Lanyun, who was very likely to inherit the family business, the third master directly grounded her.
The mother's mother was grounded, which made Tu Lanxuan extremely frightened, Aunt Rou and Sister Shu were favored, and now Tu Lanyun has won the appreciation of her grandfather, and their mother and son are soft-spoken, so they are naturally not taken seriously. (To be continued......)
