Volume 1 The First Wading in the Banquet Lake Chapter 122 The Banquet Lake Duckweed
If it weren't for Yan Su'er's move yesterday to meet the ghost's trick, he would not have been able to take advantage of his lack of strength to hit Ren Kai's face, he also knew very well that the damage of his move "Destroying Mei Golden Needle" was not great, and it was difficult for Ren Kai to gather strength for a while, and Ren Kai left mostly because of Er Zhuying's injuries and scruples about the relationship with the Yan family. But that's it, he also quarreled with a servant girl and provoked Yan Su'er.
At this time, staying in Jinxiangyuan, looking at Yan Su'er's resentful eyes, Chi Qiu was uncomfortable.
Qi Xiaofei's gossip heart still had the upper hand, and asked, "Why do I think you have strange eyes when you see the little county lord?" The road was very dark, and the two of them each held an umbrella, and Qi Xiaofei was straightforward.
Compared with some scholars and young ladies she had seen, she felt that talking to Chi Qiu didn't need to be too detouring, and it was obvious that her eyesight was indeed very good.
When asked about Chi Qiu, he will naturally answer, but it doesn't mean that he will say it directly. Chi Qiu nodded: "Yesterday's opponent in the post house was very powerful, I couldn't beat it, the little county lord beat them away as soon as he came forward, do you think I will be embarrassed to see her?" ”
It was the first time Qi Xiaofei had heard about this, and she was surprised, "There is still such a thing?" The little county lord's martial arts are so powerful? "She doesn't have much research on martial arts, but she also knows that Chi Qiu's level is the same as that of many generals in the army, and the little county lord's martial arts can be higher than Chi Qiu's, helping him beat the bad guys away? That should be in the mist.
After she finished speaking, she looked at Chi Qiu suspiciously, and asked, "How could the little lord suddenly go crazy yesterday, as far as I know, although this person is not good, but he doesn't have this concentration at all, and he dares to use force on Lu Qihua's maidservant in public?" How evil he is, is there something hidden? ”
Chi Qiu nodded: "There should be, it seems that who laughed at the little lord for not being able to give birth to a son, man, who can endure this?" ”
Last night's events were very moving, plus firefighting, people were also miscellaneous, this matter basically spread throughout Yanhu, everyone was indignant, the strength of the Weilan Principality has declined rapidly over the years, and the rise of Yanhu Lake is obvious to all, for such a duke in charge, Yanhu civilians naturally have different feelings. According to the river tax system, Yanhu is obliged to pay taxes to Weilan, although this proportion has been reduced from 30% to half, but it is always better not to pay.
The thoughts of the commoners are naturally different from those of the superiors, this statement was deliberately explained by Li Dongming, at this time, the involvement is too wide, how will the city lord decide the case? He couldn't handle whether to negotiate with the Weilan Principality or settle the matter, so he made an emergency plan, as long as this rumor is released, no matter whether someone believes it or not, the direction of the final decision will be able to maneuver.
I have to admire Li Dongming for being an official, this method, Chi Qiu feels that even if he has three heads, he can't think of it. He even felt that Li Dongming was only a boss and was too condescending. This is definitely a cabinet-level brain circuit.
Sure enough, when it came to this, Qi Xiaofei also showed a puzzled look on her face, and asked, "How old is this little lord, who will mock him for this?" He doesn't seem to have a wife yet. ”
"This, who can tell, I wasn't there at the time." Chi Qiu was vague and slightly uneasy in his heart. There are always loopholes in lies, and a lie needs countless lies to complete, and in the end, when the lie cannot be covered, the liar is prone to go crazy, so he uses radical means to plug the loophole.
Especially for the superiors, it is easy to "evaporate the world" of the parties. If it is in a society with a legal system, who wants to do such a thing still has scruples, in the world of emperors and princes, it is simply too easy to fundamentally eliminate a person.
His father, the Emperor, ordered him to be betrothed to the Uighur Jinzhu, and the two sides maintained good relations for several years, but before they became married, he ordered people to attack the Heqin team, besiege and kill the main Uighur tribal leaders and leaders, and annexed the largest tribe in the Tianshan Mountains at that time. This incident made Chi Qiu shudder at the palace battle.
In order to clear up the relationship, the father announced to the Western Regions that it was the Yan Zheng Department that assassinated, so that the tribe was wiped out, regardless of the old and the young, all of them were killed, and the Yan Zheng Department was made a scapegoat.
Every time I think of this, Chi Qiu can't help but have nightmares, you know, the Yan Zheng Department was the most loyal people of the Xiting Department at that time, they were the main force sent by the father to attack the Heqin team, and for a lie by the father, the once closest partner of this tribe has since disappeared into the desert.
As a fart people, at this moment he is most afraid of falling into some kind of noble conspiracy, at this time he is too small, it is easy to become an outcast, not even a "son", just duckweed.
Qi Xiaofei smiled and said: "You are a good skill, you actually dare to collide with the little lord, the people of Yanhu have long been dissatisfied with Wei Lan, if it was put in the past, can you hate the little lord of Wei Lan?" It is said that one or two handmaidens, even if they are big or small girls in Yanhu, they must wait for Duke Weilan to choose a show girl before they can get married. ”
This river because of the influence of the Solkins people, has implemented a period of "first night right" system, this Chi Qiu has also heard, many women on the street, like the first flower, at first glance looks like a Chinese woman, in fact, some details such as height, hair quality are a little Rong, presumably it is the genes handed down by Solkins back then.
Of course, the first flower is different, her mother is an authentic Rong person, she is mixed-race, but Huaxia looks are relatively neat, according to her, several sisters and brothers in their family, especially the brothers are angular, deep and high noses, and belong to a more typical golden silk appearance.
As for Wei Lan's privilege, with the succession of this generation of Yan family heads, it is no longer implemented in Yanhu, in fact, the city lord of Yanhu still exercises this privilege before the age of forty, since he married Yan Su'er's mother, this privilege has been forbidden by him, and he has restrained his sons, and he is typically happy himself, regardless of his children and grandchildren. Of course, this matter must be of progressive significance, get rid of the old habits and bad habits, since then the relationship between Yanhu and Jiangnan has become closer and closer under the matchmaking of Yanxu, and now Yanhu is called Saijiangnan, which is not an exaggeration at all, not only these, but also the legal system and folk customs are somewhat similar to Jiangnan, which is more enlightened.
"If you are a nobleman, it is really a blessing."
"You're beautiful, it's good for a little common man to marry a wife." Qi Xiaofei added: "Some men are really good-looking, but they can't marry a wife in their lifetime, and it's not because they're poor. ”
Chi Qiu said with a smile: "No, don't say anything else, there are years of war, this male and female ratio is out of balance, how can there be a man who can't marry a wife, unless his thing is lost on the battlefield." ”
Qi Xiaofei's face was as red as a glow, and she said in surprise: "What? "I have lived alone for many years, and after listening to those words, my body instinctively moved, and my mind has not yet reacted.
Chi Qiu didn't think much about it, what he said was just the truth.
Qi Xiaofei's face was feverish, and she always understood why her heart jumped, and she made up her mind: "But even so, who wants to marry an uncle and enter the door, cut off his hands and feet, and do nothing, just wait for someone to serve, it is better to be a concubine." Marry well, worry about food and clothing, anyway, they are all serving people, they would rather be rich concubines than poor wives, and now Yanhu also has legal protection for concubines, not as good as pigs and dogs as before. ”
In recent decades, Yanhu, to be precise, the changes between the rivers have been too great, although many old nobles have gone bankrupt, but they have also given birth to many new nobles and wealthy businessmen, Chi Qiu didn't expect Qi Xiaofei to have such an idea, and felt strange: "You also think so, so that you have been widowed until now?" He said plainly, without any disdain, if he had just come to Wuyue, he might still be a little uncomfortable with this idea of self-deprecation, and now he seems to be very understandable.
