Chapter 42: A Chance Encounter
Maybe even Situ Jianren himself may not know how huge his wealth is, and he has to ask his big treasurer Lu Youqian to know.
Xie Dongli nodded, agreed with Prime Minister Shen Dacheng's words, and continued: "Although the Northern Qi Kingdom is vast and rich, there is no capable person to govern.
First, the weekend government was not lenient, and the Northern Qi Dynasty relied on the orthodoxy after the Great Zhou Dynasty to be lenient and generous, but they did not know that today's people did not have an ancient style, and most of them were afraid of power and did not accept morality, and the national decrees were inconsistent. The order of the Son of Heaven of the Northern Qi Dynasty cannot go out of the capital, and this defeat is also the same.
Second, the Northern Qi Dynasty was wide on the outside and taboo on the inside, suspicious of the use of people, nepotism, and nepotism all over the court.
Third, the royal family of the Northern Qi Dynasty was more conscientious and less decided, emphasizing small benevolence and ignoring righteousness, and this defeat was also three.
Fourth, the ministers of the Northern Qi court fought for power, slandered and confused, and the party fought against each other, and this defeat was also four.
Fifth, the Northern Qi is a false situation, I don't know what the soldiers want, the fierce generals in the army have been purged, and no one can lead the army.
Among these five, the fifth defeat is the most fatal flaw, making the huge Northern Qi can only be a tiger without minions, which is not a cause for concern. β
"Well said!" The imperial grandson and Shen Dacheng praised in unison, "It is worthy of the most talented Xie Lang in our Eastern Yuan Kingdom!" β
Xie Dongli bowed slightly, "His Royal Highness the Taisun and the Prime Minister are falsely praised." β
"Okay, there's nothing to argue about this round, right? - This box of the best Jade Tree Cordyceps in Nan Zheng Guo belongs to Xie Wuye. Shen said with a smile.
Zheng Hao stood aside with his hand, mouthed at his entourage Nunu, and said, "Give Xie Wugongzi." β
Xie Dongli didn't take it, but Ah Shun, the little guy next to him, took it, and thanked Zheng Hao with a smile: "Thank you for the generous gift of the second prince Zheng!" β
Zheng Hao raised his hand to Ah Shun, "No courtesy." Slanted at Xie Dongli, and seeing that Xie Dongli didn't look at him, Zheng Hao pursed his lips, sat back beside Murong Changqing, and said: "The couplet and the strategy have been compared, why don't we compare riding and shooting?" β
If it is about riding and archery kung fu, the powerful ones must be the people of the three marquis mansions of Changxing Marquis, Wanning Marquis and Tang'an Marquis Mansion.
The people of the Sanhou Mansion really applauded.
The sons and young masters of the five-phase family also practiced riding and shooting, but they were not as proficient as the people of the Sanhou Mansion.
"Even if you ride a horse, our family doesn't have such a big land, why don't we go and compare archery? -- There is a small flat field behind this incense pavilion, which was used by our brothers to practice archery. Shen Dagongzi said with a busy smile, "Everyone knows how to shoot arrows." β
"Okay, shoot arrows, shoot arrows." Zheng Hao and Murong Changqing stood up together and looked at the imperial grandson, "Your Royal Highness, do you want to shoot the first arrow?" β
The imperial grandson waved his hand and said, "No need, go and see everyone's archery skills." As he spoke, he ordered someone to go to the palace to get a jade Ruyi of high-grade mutton fat jade, and said, "We can't always use Nan Zhengguo's cordyceps to make color heads, let's use this this time." β
The mutton fat jade oil is moist and shiny, so white that there are no impurities, like clotted fat frozen snow, and it is not ordinary at first glance.
This jade ruyi was passed on among the guests, and also passed on to the female dependents.
Situ Yingsleeve stroked the jade Ruyi, pursed her lips, and felt that this jade was not as good as the jade pendant that Zhang Siye gave her, but she didn't say anything, and handed the jade Ruyi to the Zhang family beside her.
Zhang stroked the jade Ruyi for a long time before passing it on to the next person.
Mrs. Xie Lu Ruilan glanced at it with a smile and said, "This jade ruyi is the style of the Northern Qi Dynasty, which is slightly different from the appearance that we are used to in Dongyuan. β
Qi Empress Qi Xueyun is the princess of the Northern Qi Dynasty, married to the Yuan Hong Emperor of the Eastern Yuan Kingdom as a successor, as soon as she entered the door, she gave birth to a prince, and the child was established as the prince in the next year, but unfortunately she suddenly became ill at the age of fifteen.
"Really? This is what Northern Qi looks like? Zhang looked at it again curiously.
Lu Ruilan nodded, "Yes, look here, there are always circles in the top moirΓ© pattern of Northern Qi Jade Ruyi. Neither Dong Yuan nor Nan Zheng looked like this. β
"Go out and watch them shoot arrows. What's so nice about this jade Ruyi? "Shen Yule pulled the placket of Situ Ying's sleeves.
Situ Yingsleeve nodded.
Situ Yanxiang whispered: "Sister, I want to see it too." β
"Come with us." Situ Yingsleeve smiled and turned around, taking Situ Yanxiang's hand.
Situ Yanxiang looked at Zhang, "Mother......"
"Go ahead, follow my sister well, don't run around." Zhang smiled and bowed his head, and said to Situ Yingsleeve: "You follow the big guy, don't go out and show your face." β
Situ Yingsleeve smiled and said, "It's okay, I'm with my eldest aunt and cousin." My sister will be fine with me. β
The men on the other side of the screen quickly came out in a group and went to the back of the Fragrance Pavilion.
Situ Yingsleeve followed Shen Yule and Mrs. Shen, and took her sister Situ Dianxiang to the gazebo not far away.
The pavilion was built on a hillside, and on all sides hung pale pink and green gauze curtains fluttering in the wind, and the vermilion black tiles could be seen just in time to see the men's archery competition not far away.
On the small flat field, there are five arrow targets, neatly placed at the other end of the field.
The men agreed on five arrows per person, one arrow and one target, and finally the ring number theory won or lost.
Zheng Hao said: "Murong Gongzi is the son of the Marquis of Changxing, and he should shoot the first round!" β
Murong Changqing smiled: "Let's draw lots." That's fair. β
"Okay, draw lots!" Shen Dagongzi smiled and came over with a bucket of lots.
Those who were willing to participate in the competition rushed up to draw lots.
Xie Dongli stood far away with Prime Minister Shen Dacheng and did not go to draw lots.
"Dongli, why don't you try?"
Xie Dongli shook his head, "I don't know how to shoot arrows." β
Prime Minister Shen Dacheng knew that Xie Dongli was a weak scholar, and he couldn't do anything else except for barely being able to ride a horse.
Zhang Linchang, the eldest son of the Zhang family, beckoned to Xie Dongxuan, "Fifth Master Xie, come and catch lots!" β
"No need, our son-in-law has just recovered from a serious illness and can't shoot arrows." Ah Shun stubbornly walked over and said to these people.
"Hey, hey, hey, understood, understood!" Zheng Hao smiled and patted Ah Shun's shoulder, "This time, your master can remember, don't say you can't come, wait and come again." β
Ah Shun resisted the urge to roll his eyes, lowered his head and slanted his shoulders, removed Zheng Hao's hand, and returned to Xie Donglian's side.
Xie Dongli glanced at the shooting range, turned around and left this noisy and lively place, intending to find a quiet place to sit.
Murong Changqing smiled and said to Zheng Hao: "Fifth Cousin Xie is not good at riding and shooting, everyone knows it, but he didn't mean it. β
"Huh? It really won't......" Zheng Hao was a little embarrassed, "...... Uh, then send him another box of cordyceps. After a pause, "The cordyceps sent to Naqu are one level higher than those of Yushu." β
After hearing this, Murong Changqing glanced at him.
Zheng Hao immediately said: "Of course, I also want to send a box of Naqu Cordyceps to Brother Murong Shi." β
"That's pretty much it!" Murong Changqing laughed, revealing his snow-white teeth, and his whole person looked much sunnier, "I heard that Xiao Lei is eating cordyceps, so I will send it to Yingsleeve." β
Zheng Hao smiled and nodded, "That's right, then I'll give you a few more boxes of Cordyceps." β
Murong Changqing didn't care, his eyes were already attracted by the archery competition that had begun.
"Good!"
The crowd erupted in cheers.
I saw that the man who caught the first one was heroic, and the arrows hit the bull's-eye, and they were all full of rings!
"Ahh Who is that son?! β
The young ladies and girls watching from this side of the pavilion became excited, and stood on tiptoe and stretched their necks to look over there.
Someone recognized the first man to shoot an arrow and smiled, "Huh? How did he get here? β
"Who?"
"Who else? ββToday's champion of science and martial arts, Yu Shunhao! β
"It turned out to be Wu Zhuangyuan! No wonder the archery is accurate! β
When Miss Zhang San saw the figure of that person, she was shocked and speechless for a long time.
She had never seen this man before, but the first time she saw him, it was like the man who grew in her heart, like a heroic man who came out of her dream......
ββ¦β¦ You see, the third sister is crazy again......"
"Third sister? Third sister? - Wake up, wipe your saliva......"
The sisters of the Zhang family exchanged a meaningful look and secretly covered their sleeves and smiled.
In the cheers of everyone, the sons over there went to shoot arrows one by one, except for Murong Changqing, no one could compare with Yu Shunhao, the champion of martial arts.
"Come on, let's try again. - This time, we shot the jade ring hanging from the tree. Whoever can shoot through the jade ring without losing a single penny will win! Zheng Hao smiled and pulled Murong Changqing and Yu Shunhao over to compete again.
There were more and more nobles squeezing over, and Situ Yingsleeve had already been squeezed to the edge of the steps of the pavilion, and when she shot an arrow on the opposite side, the nobles here were all thunderous with joy and squeezed forward again.
Situ Yingsleeve had no choice but to take another step forward and was already standing on the edge of the steps.
She glanced back, smiled wryly and shook her head.
There are too many people, and they still don't join in the fun......
Situ Ying carried her skirt in her sleeves, held the handrail of the steps of the gazebo, and walked slowly down with Shen Yule and Situ Darkincense, avoiding the surging crowd on the gazebo.
After coming down from the pavilion, Situ Yanxiang asked Shen Yule: "Second cousin, where are we going?" β
Shen Yule pointed to the small forest not far away, "It's pretty good over there, there is a small flower bed, and a few stone tables and chairs, let's go and sit down." β
Situ Yingsleeve nodded, "Let's go." β
The three of them walked slowly into the grove, only to find that there were already people inside. -- It was Xie Dongli and his little servant Ah Shun.
The master and servant sat and stood together, very leisurely.
Seeing Situ Yingsleeve and them walking in, Xie Dongli stood up, arched his hand, turned around and left.
At this moment, a long arrow suddenly pierced the sky, pierced through the branches and leaves, roared, and shot towards this clearing!
