"Qinghe Hou, thank you today, Shi Yan will come back another day!"

The time was already the end of Shen Shi, it was already very late, Ying Shiyan finally ate all the marinated dishes next to each other, and after feeling satisfied, she took a few large pots of marinated vegetables back to the palace, and at the same time took away the italic index manual written by Chen Xu, saying that it was boring in the palace, and she could just learn the understanding and writing of regular script.

Princess Huayu sat in the carriage and left, lifted the curtain, and kept looking back with a pair of beautiful eyes, with a reluctant look on her face.

Chen Xu stood at the door and waved, seeing Princess Huayu's car finally turn around the street and disappear, he took a long breath and turned back to the house.

This is not a good phenomenon, Princess Huayu is not only beautiful, but also has a very respectful identity, and behaves decently and knowingly, so many times, Chen Xu does not dare to guarantee that he will really not like her, the most important thing is that the First Emperor must not give up the intention of giving marriage, if Qin Shi Huang really issued an edict to give marriage now, then Chen Xu can only pinch his nose and agree.

Because this is a matter of royal face, it is definitely not okay to refuse directly, and Qin Shi Huang must have thought of this, but taking into account Chen Xu's identity, Qin Shi Huang is also using a way of boiling frogs in warm water to let his most beautiful daughter come to soak in Qinghehou, they are all young people of the same age in their teens, they come and go a lot, and the two will naturally warm up their feelings, and when the relationship between the two reaches a certain height, and then give marriage in the name of justice, so that the royal face is saved, and Chen Xu does not have much resistance. Marrying a daughter and marrying a wife come naturally.

As for the disciple of Liezi called Qingrou, Qin Shi Huang would not think too much about it.

In this era, there is no such thing as three wives and four concubines.

If you are poor, you will be alone, and if you are rich, you will have a group of wives and concubines, and this sentence will not work in Daqin.

First of all, as long as you are not poor to death, you must not be able to stand alone, because the Qin law stipulates that both men and women must marry once they reach adulthood, and the standard of adulthood is not to look at age, but to look at height, men are more than six feet five inches (about one meter five), and women are six feet (about one meter four) or more can meet the marriage standard, but if the man is over twenty and the woman is fifteen or unmarried, it is regarded as illegal, and the official will force the designated marriage partner to marry, and then start an independent family and separate from his father and brother, and begin to fulfill the formal obligations of the state, Because the division of households is an important prerequisite for increasing the country's tax revenue, it is also a necessary guarantee for increasing the country's population.

Therefore, in Daqin, there are probably no men who can't find a wife, unless it is paraplegia from the waist down, after decades of fighting between the princes, now what Daqin lacks most is men, but there are many women, there are piles of widows, and the situation in the whole country is similar to that of Qinghe Town, as long as it is an adult man, there are women everywhere rushing to marry.

But there is another law in Daqin, called monogamy, Qin law stipulates: if the husband has a wife and two concubines, he will be punished, if the husband has two wives, he will be punished, and if the wife has a foreign husband, he will be punished.

Therefore, ordinary people want to live a happy life with three wives and four concubines, it is also illegal, a man who marries two wives wants to kill his head, even if he is a businessman with a lot of money, he can only honestly marry a wife, a concubine or something does not exist, and he cannot marry, but the so-called people do not raise officials and do not hold them accountable, with the legal support of men having various excuses for divorce of their wives, rich men can raise concubines, as long as their wives do not go to the official mansion, it is normal to change the concubines every day, because rich people are different from poor people in any era.

Of course, as mentioned above, the law is aimed at ordinary people, and the scholars above are not bound by this decree, that is to say, people who have titles, official positions and status, and the law does not make too many restrictions on marrying wives, ordinary scholars can have one wife and two concubines, as for the more advanced nobles, there are groups of wives and concubines, and the concubines and concubines are not counted, and when it comes to the marquis level of Chen Xu, he is already one of the few nobles in Daqin, and there is no restriction on marrying a wife, as long as you can afford to marry and live, of course, you have to be careful, It's better not to marry more than the emperor.

Therefore, Chen Xu did not think much about marrying his own daughter, whether he was a wife or a side wife Qin Shi Huang did not think too much, one is that he has a lot of daughters, and he will not care too much about the thoughts of his children, women in this era, can be regarded as a dispensable accessory, and the royal family is the same, the main role of daughters is to envelop princes and princes, and increase the emperor's control over ministers.

Wang Jian led an army of 600,000 to attack Chu for the second time, desperately asking Qin Shi Huang for land and women, gold, silver and jewelry and other rewards, the purpose of which was to show Qin Shi Huang that he was not fighting for power, but hoping to get more property and women, and Qin Shi Huang was very happy when he heard it, and married his eldest daughter, the eighteen-year-old princess Ying Yuanyan of Liyang, to Wang Qian, you must know that Wang Jian was already in his fifties at that time, not only nearly twenty years older than Qin Shi Huang, but also enough to be Ying Yuanyan's grandfather according to his age. But Qin Shi Huang in order to let Wang Jian help him conquer the Chu State, there is not much idea of caring about his daughter at all, less than a year after marrying, Ying Yuanyan died of depression, I heard that she was pregnant when she died, it can be seen that although Wang Jian is old, but she is still a barbaric and rude daughter of Qin Shi Huang.

And Ying Yuanyan's death did not make Qin Shi Huang feel too sad, and later gave Wang Jian a lot of property and women one after another, so that Wang Jian could continue to help him sweep other countries with peace of mind.

What Qin Shi Huang thinks, Chen Xu naturally knows, but at the moment he can only take one step at a time, and he really can't just wait for the beginning of spring to go to the Shui family in Wancheng to propose marriage, and marry Shui Qingrou in advance, so that no matter whether this marriage is completed or not, it will not affect Shui Qingrou's status.

In this era, as a top nobleman of Daqin, the plan to marry only one wife is unlikely anyway, first of all, the emperor will not allow it, unless he only marries his daughter, and secondly, the mother is estimated to not allow it, the Chen family is now withered, there is only one son, bearing the heavy responsibility of spreading the branches and leaves, even if he marries Shui Qingrou, he can marry another five, six, seven or eight ladies, which is worthy of the honor of the marquis, and the marquis of a person is not prosperous, it is destined to be the target of ridicule in secret, will even speculate whether Qinghehou is not good at a certain aspect of the function.

Hou Mansion near the southeast corner, a wooden cage placed under the grass hut, a large and a small two giant pandas are still locked in, at this time the sky is already very dark, but there are still twenty or thirty servants are carrying wood and masonry, several craftsmen are stepping up to build a giant panda park covering an area of about two acres, two hours down, has been almost completed.

Chen Xu walked to the side of the wooden cage, and both bears put their heads on the edge of the cage, their paws stretched out and kept licking their mouths, making a humming sound in their mouths.

"Come on, go chop some young annual bamboo!" Chen Xu turned around and ordered.

Although Xianyang is located in the northwest, the climate of the Qin and Han dynasties is very different from that of later generations, there are many bamboos planted in this prime minister's house, and there are several species, but Chen Xu does not know what kind of species, but he wants to come to the giant panda to eat bamboo, and he should know those who can eat.

Soon, several servants brought over a bundle of bamboos of varying thicknesses, and Chen Xu asked people to open the wooden cage, and then threw a bundle of bamboos in front of the cage.

The two giant pandas are estimated to be hungry, and rushed out of the cage with unusual flexibility, and then grabbed the bamboo and sat on the ground to bite it.

"Master Hou, it turns out that this Bai Zhen actually eats bamboo!" The servants and craftsmen who worked all looked at the two giant pandas in amazement.

"This is not called Bai Zhen, it's called a giant panda, you know!" Chen Xu patted the dirt on his hands and said.

"Yes, Master Hou!" All the servants hurriedly agreed.

It's just a matter of changing the name, if Hou Ye says that these two white heads are renamed donkeys, it is estimated that everyone will not object, because the omnipotent Hou Ye is what he says.

"Fix the wall a little stronger, so that the pandas don't run out and hurt people, you two will start today, and be responsible for taking care of these two pandas, see what kind of bamboo they like to eat, and you will have to go outside the city every day to cut some back, remember, it's good to feed, if you die, I'll ask you!" Chen Xu casually pointed to the two servants who were cutting bamboo just now and said.

"Hou Ye rest assured, there are so many bamboos outside the city, as long as you don't eat fish every day, we guarantee that both ends are white...... Uh, the pandas are fat, fat, fat! The two servants hurriedly bowed their hands.

"Well, this thing is relatively docile, pay attention to the feces on weekdays to keep the hygiene inside, drink water and food clean, and feed some meat every few days......"

Giant panda, commonly known as Rolling Panda, is a Chinese specialty.

Since it was discovered by Western explorers during World War II, countless Westerners poured into Sichuan and Shaanxi to find traces of giant pandas, including the two sons of US President Roosevelt, many giant pandas were shot and captured and brought back to the West, causing countless sensations, and at that time China was experiencing the War of Resistance against Japan, China's concept of animal protection was not as good as that of the Shang and Zhou dynasties, until it was almost gone, and after the Western media reported on the giant pandas one after another, the national government began to issue protection orders, And in order to seek the support of Western countries, the giant panda began to be given out as a national gift, and after the end of the anti-Japanese war, it was a civil war, so the protection order was a dead letter, and so Uncle Mao sent Jiang Gong to Taiwan after the depressed fishing, the giant panda was almost extinct under the crazy smuggling and hunting, although Westerners do not like the red country of sickles and axes, but they expressed great enthusiasm for this docile and beautiful rolling from China, and have always been obsessed with it, so the beginning of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Western countries and China, The day after the Nixons visited China, they couldn't wait to go to the Beijing Zoo to take a group photo, and the country also gave a pair of giant pandas to their liking, and the pair of giant pandas were cheered and worshiped by all the people after arriving in the United States, and then they were out of control, and the Western countries could not stand the temptation of rolling, and all of them came over to ask for the establishment of diplomatic relations, and then asked for a gift, and the status of rolling in the international arena has since become hot, which is the famous rolling diplomacy in the history of later generations.

Many things that cannot be done in wars and politics have been solved in a rolling manner.

Later generations of rivers and lakes rumored that those who have to roll will win the world.

In the roar and roar of the orcs who will never be slaves, the rolling people finally discarded the beastly nature of the rolling ancestors in the blood without any position, and all went to the zoo to live a rotten life of eating and opening their mouths to stretch their hands.

As a national treasure-level animal, Chen Xu naturally spent money to go to the zoo to see it under the big sun, only saw a butt at a time, his body was hidden in the bushes, and the other time he saw the whole one, but it was just hanging on the branch and falling asleep, after two disappointing experiences of physical and mental exhaustion, Chen Xu never went to the zoo again.

In later life, he swore that when he had money, he would raise his own two heads and play at home, but this hope was slim after all, and the probability that he would be able to become the president of the country one day was the same.

But I didn't expect that I died, hung up, and actually crossed, not only saw Qin Dada, who was known as the first emperor of the ages, but also really was able to raise two giant pandas to play at home.

So Chen Xu was very pleased, the night was sweet like a dream, the next morning, as soon as the sky was bright, he got dressed and hurried to the panda park, and saw a big and a small one still hugging each other in the grass shed and falling asleep, so he breathed a long sigh of relief.

Fortunately, Lao Tzu didn't dream yesterday, he really got two giant pandas.

A few little maids followed from behind in a panic, and they were still sleeping next door in a daze, only to hear Hou Ye's room clattering open, and then they heard the sound of footsteps walking away, so a group of little maids hurriedly got up in fright, and their clothes were too late to put on and followed, but they found Hou Ye squatting in front of the grass shed, looking at the sleeping pandas at the two ends in a daze.

"Master Hou~, come out quickly, it's dangerous!" A few little maids turned pale with fright, and stood outside the fence covering their mouths and shouting softly.

At this time, the housekeepers and stewards of the Hou Mansion, as well as the guards and servants, all ran over from all over the room, and the two servants who were responsible for taking care of the giant pandas also squeezed over, trembling at Chen Xu, who wanted to reach out and touch the giant panda, and hurriedly ran into the panda circle in horror to put Chen Xu out, and then closed a door made of rough wood with a clang.

"What the hell, what the hell, I just want to touch it!" Chen Xu shouted with glaring eyes.

"Don't, Master Hou, this is a beast, you can't touch it!" The housekeepers, stewards, and guards and servants of the Hou Mansion all struggled with distorted faces.

If Chen Xu was bitten or bitten to death by two giant pandas at home, it is estimated that the Qinghe Marquis Mansion will be trampled to death by the First Emperor.

As a domestic servant, he can't protect his master, and he should be killed according to the law, not to mention that Chen Xu is still the hottest marquis in Daqin today.

Therefore, surrounded by a group of guards and domestic servants, Chen Xu was isolated outside the giant panda circle, but now that he has such a good opportunity to get close to the rolling, Chen Xu will naturally not give up, let people cut a bundle of bamboo, and use a bamboo pole to wake up the giant panda with his own hands.

The two sloth bears finally opened their eyes and rolled down from the soft grass, grinning and baring their teeth, and purring at Chen Xu with a series of cat-like and dog-like meows to show their impatience.

Nima Laozi is sleeping fragrantly, you stab me to dry the hammer!

"Roll, come to eat~~" Chen Xu excitedly stretched a few verdant bamboos from the fence courtyard wall, shaking the bamboo leaves.

The two bears are estimated to have been kept in captivity in the palace for several months, eating meat every day, and it is estimated that they have long been tired, so when they saw the bamboo, they immediately stopped screaming, and ran over excitedly and grabbed the bamboo and sat on the ground and began to chew.

At this time, almost all the people of the Hou Mansion gathered around the wall, and all gathered outside the fence to watch the Hou Ye feed the two white pandas called giant pandas with bamboo.

And the two giant pandas don't seem to be afraid of life, it is estimated that they have been accustomed to this kind of captive life in the palace, sitting and eating comfortably, lying down to eat, and the movements are not in a hurry, and everyone in the house who sees it is amazed.

Many people have heard of Bai Zhen, but just like tigers, the chance of ordinary people seeing them is still very small, especially in big cities like Xianyang, and when they see it occasionally, they are basically killed by hunters and brought in.

And these two flower bears actually like to eat bamboo, and they look so cute and cute, it is simply the wonder of the bear family.

"Come and eat, come and eat~" Chen Xu shook a bamboo in his hand that looked green and delicate, seducing the little panda.

Sure enough, this little guy who was almost half a meter tall obviously couldn't resist the temptation, shook his dirty hair a few times and swayed over, stood up upright across the courtyard wall and stretched out his two front paws to claw the bamboo, Chen Xu teased up and down a few times, and the big one was very dissatisfied with Chen Xu and snorted twice, Chen Xu had to throw the bamboo in his hand to the little guy, and then watched it sit under the wall with relish and eat.
