Chapter Seventy-Nine: Disputes
This settlement is called Ajanta, there is a half-submerged grotto group in the desert slope nearby, it is the grotto group of the Buddhist Buddhas, from BC to two hundred years ago, it was once a very prosperous place, but also the place of prosperity of Buddhism, the rulers of successive dynasties have built Buddha statues here to show their piety, but more than a hundred years ago, the last ruler who believed in Buddhism here was expelled, and the faith here has gradually become a school of Hinduism that absorbs Buddhist factors.
The lord of Ajanta doesn't know if he is not mentally normal, in Lu Ning's opinion, he is not a typical Indian at all, but he resolutely refuses to surrender to the king of Juehu, refuses to enter the manor, and then a weapon fight broke out, the combat strength of the two sides is half a catty and eight taels, but the number of people on the side of Ajanta is overwhelming, and soon the resistance organized by Ajanta was quelled, and Ajanta instantly became a hell on earth, Lu Ning was also secretly frightened in his heart, Indians seem harmless to humans and animals and are completely war scum compared to a strong nation, In its history, the great unified dynasties were almost all established by foreign invaders, but, in fact, in the bones, the race in this region is really quite cruel.
……
A colorful shed was erected outside the Ajanta Manor, and Lu Ning and King Xizeng's granddaughters Basha and Balian held a simple wedding, and King Xizeng proposed to marry here.
Originally, I felt that it didn't matter, but after the wedding, Lu Ning suddenly felt that there was suddenly more father-in-law and mother-in-law and grandfather, but the local etiquette is different from that of the Central Plains, and there are not so many generations to pay attention to, especially with his wife's mother's parents, which are actually very equal.
King Xizeng definitely does not have the feeling of a kind grandfather who married a hundred times his granddaughter in the Central Plains, for him, this is a transaction, an exchange of interests.
After the wedding, he seemed to finally breathe a sigh of relief.
At sunset, on the grassy slope, Lu Ning and King Xizeng sat on the ground and drank the Chinese spirits brought by Lu Ning.
However, many of the price differences in the middle were made by the Chola merchants and Persian merchants, so that it was imperative to open up the east-west trade route so that the merchants of Daqi, or the hundred lines of the East China Sea, deliberately traded freely in the world.
King Xizeng took a big gulp of wine according to the custom, and immediately coughed loudly, amusing Lu Ning.
"You used to deal with Chinese people and have good Chinese friends, right?" King Xizeng asked.
Lu Ning nodded with a smile, pondering and said: "Gabi Zhen's land, you don't need it, it stands to reason, the old man, you should give me a generous dowry when you marry your granddaughter, but I think that the bride price of Qi people is precious, I will give the old man a heavy bride price, and Gabi will be insignificant before this bride price." In fact, speaking of Gabi Ji, Lu Ning was a little embarrassed in his heart, after all, Mi Jiluo was nominally the wife of the old man in front of him, and he could feel that his father-in-law, sooner or later, his head would be green.
King Xizeng picked up the wine and drank, obviously, he knew some things.
However, most of the sects in India do not have a divorce system, and the wife starts from marrying her husband, regardless of life or death, it is the husband's property, and even if the husband dies, he will be buried with it, which is the best character of a woman.
Just married the old man's two flower-like granddaughters and sisters, Hua, talking about the old man's increasingly restless young wife, something is not quite right, Lu Ning picked up the wine glass, and said with a smile: "In your opinion, can King Juehu seize the right to rule Louqi?" His two opponents are the same size as the land ruled by King Kakugo? ”
King Xizeng smiled mysteriously, "Then I don't know." ”
This old fox, Lu Ning's heart was broken, in fact, from the old man suddenly gave up his previous suspicions and married himself, he knew that he was very unusual, and he was also an atypical Indian, and his thinking was closer to that of the wise man of the Central Plains, if he was the king of Juehu, he would definitely not travel thousands of miles to transport a stone statue and empty the combat effectiveness of the soldiers, so exhausted, even if he reached the front line, could he still fight?
But now the class solidification in south-central India does not only refer to the castes, the same is true of the aristocracy, who want to annex the outside land by the small lord to become the big lord, if it is not for the glory of the ancestors, who had been the great lord, and has a certain legal basis, just by force, it is extremely difficult, it is easy to be targeted by all the surrounding lords, and it will not be liked by the Brahmins, the Brahmins, of course, hope that the location of their temples will be as stable as possible.
While pondering, the chief of the guard, Adiedo, hurriedly ran over, and before he could speak, Lu Ning had already frowned and asked, "Who is the one who came to accuse my two wives?" ”
The quarrel came from the direction of the color shed, and Lu Ning had already noticed it.
Adiedo was stunned, and said busily, "It's the high governor of the Dead Shove, who accuses the two mistresses of harboring[520] the criminals. ”
Lu Ning frowned, "What criminal?" Is there such a thing? ”
Adiedo hesitated and said: "Yes, it is a girl in the manor, the granddaughter of Thoreau, the owner of the local manor, who took advantage of the old man's marriage and hid in the color shed, and no one paid attention to her, but the two ladies looked at her face, asked her about her origin, and took pity on her, so they hid her, I don't know how, I was found out by the deceased, and sent someone to ask for it, but the two ladies refused, so ......" looked at Lu Ning's face and didn't dare to say more.
King Xizeng was already furious, "How dare these two ignorant girls do such a thing?" He said to Lu Ning: "I'm really sorry, blame me for doting on them too much, she has always been ignorant, which is why I don't dare to marry them......" said, his anger did not subside, and said: "I'm going to scold them!" ”
Lu Ning waved his hand and said with a smile: "Whether they did the right thing or not, I will judge by myself, you don't have to be angry." ”
Then he said to Adiedo, "Invite everyone here, and I'll see what happened." ”
King Xizeng already regretted it a little at this time, as if this wine was too strong, and his two granddaughters had already been married, so he shouldn't have counted them down in front of his husband.
Adiedo took the order, and in a short time four or five men and women followed him up the grassy slope.
The Bazaar Balian sisters looked a little uneasy, and naturally knew that they were not doing something right, and they might cause trouble for their husbands, but the bright sisters stood together, the newlyweds were dressed in gorgeous saris, delicate facial features, and the nose with a golden nose ring, coupled with the seductive style of the soft waist and slender long legs looming in the saree, it was really very pleasing to the eye.
Timidly following them was a beautiful Indian girl about the same age as them, and it seemed that the helpless lamb should be the granddaughter of the lord of Ajanta, Thoreau, who became a hell because of his resistance, Thoreau was tortured to death by cutting off his limbs alive, and there seemed to be few members of his family left.
In addition, there is also a middle-aged man with a high name, who must be the senior butler of the deceased Luo, although he left the soldiers on the side of the color shed, but obviously came to interrogate Lu Ning with a guilty look.
