10. Magic
It was night, the moonlight was getting thicker, and a cool evening breeze swept by, like a pot of old wine, drunk the crops in the fields, and the ears of wheat swayed disorderly with the wind.
The sound of frogs and insects in the field came and went, and occasionally there was a little light in the shadows, which was the scurrying of fireflies.
There were a few heavy "moo" cries in the distance, the bells under the cow's neck "jingle bells" rattled, and the yard on the edge of the field showed a hint of life in the open field.
The peasants are particular about sunset, but they don't lie in bed too early. After closing the main door, the brothers chatted to pass the time, and then secretly drank a little wine, giving some comfort to the hard life during the day, which was also very pleasant.
It has been five days since Liu Dingguo conducted a city-wide physical examination, and the people have discussed this matter, and even other princes have heard about it, which is a precedent in history.
Some people even made an article about the Holy Mother to lick King Yan's ass, singing praises for him, and wanted to reap benefits.
This added a lot of fun and conversation to the boring life of the people.
The eldest brother of the Jing family stood by the well with a thick rope, pulling the rope alternately with both hands, and lifted the bucket full of water, and the rough skin and muscles looked powerful in the moonlight, just like his rude words.
"I heard that King Yan's kid gave the people a free physical examination, and asked the doctor to touch the melons and draw eggs, it is said that it is to check whether General Youri is broken, which is simply too insulting."
"Big brother, it's rare for King Yan to be merciful, it's good to have such an opportunity, what are you nagging about?"
The second brother took the bucket from the eldest hand, stirred the mottled flat wooden stick with small thorns in the bucket a few times, and splashed the stick on the cow with the stirred water, and used the flat stick as a brush to clean the stains on the cow.
The third brother was using a stone shovel to clean up the manure in the cowshed, piling it up into a ball, ready to use it as fodder, and when he saw the two brothers talking about it, he casually interjected and asked: "Do you want the three of us brothers to go to Yanwang Palace tomorrow?" ”
"I think it's better to forget it, according to the doctor's explanation, touching the egg is to observe the color to judge whether your Youri General is healthy or not, I think this explanation is pure nonsense." As the eldest brother spoke, he also picked up a flat stick to help the cow scrub.
"Then big brother, why did you say the doctors checked this?" The second brother is honest and has not many eyes.
"This ......" the eldest brother stopped what he was doing, thinking about how to fulfill his words.
The moonlight hung high, and the hazy imprint was reflected in the courtyard, and the bronze bell on the neck of the old cow sounded "jingle" with the action of the second brother scrubbing the cow's body, and the sound was crisp and melodious.
Half a salary, the eldest brother continued to work, and his mouth was full of words, "It is said that Yan Wang has more than 200 concubines, I think he must be tired of looking for women, and he wants to change his taste, so he began to look for boys." ”
"I don't think so." The third brother shoveled the dung into the wooden basin and interjected: "The edict says that you must marry a man, and you must not be looking for a boy." ”
After a pause, he expressed his high opinion: "There are so many women in King Yan, it must be that General Youri is too weak to have sex, and wants to paste the cloth with the eggs of the men in Jicheng on the wall to aphrodisiac." ”
Big Brother: "......"
Second brother: "......"
The boss was so choked by this strange argument that he couldn't speak, but he was unwilling to be inferior to others, and he didn't want to be suppressed by the boss.
There was anger in his heart, his nostrils were humming, and the thick black nose hair poked out of his nostrils, and he moved twice and said: "You are not right, King Yan must be a child's heart attack, and he wants to start a new style competition of the Han Dynasty, and compare who is the "Big Bird King".
Second brother: "......"
Third brother: "......"
The brothers were convinced and looked at each other without saying a word.
……
After a six-day physical examination, almost all the married men in Jicheng came as long as they could, with more than 10,000 people and more than 10,000 bird pictures.
Yanwang Palace.
The splendid beauty in the hall, the inverted bell flowers on the column, the underground red carpet roll cover, a group of drunken gold fans.
Probably after the past few days of contact, in Liu Dingguo's heart, Han Yan has a very high status, even the golden incense burner in front of the throne has been lit, and the cigarette smoke curls, shaped like a thin dragon, bending upwards and slowly drifting in front of the palace. Looking through them, Liu Dingguo's face looked a little blurred, with some fantastical mystery.
A doctor came in from outside the hall and interrupted Han Yan and Liu Dingguo's conversation and laughter.
"Tell the king, the six-day inspection has been completed, and no one has come today."
"What were the results?" Liu Dingguo couldn't hide his joy, as if a scientist had suddenly obtained a major scientific research achievement that was enough to subvert the world, and his face was flushed.
"We compared all the paintings, summed up the number of men and women of the children of the common people, and found that the folk saying has its mysterious truth, the general Youri is straight and unbending, the size and shape of the two kidney sacs have always been, and most of the children are male and female. If General Youri is crooked, or if the kidney capsule is of different sizes, either a boy can be born or a girl can be born. ”
"Oh?" Hearing this, Liu Dingguo's face became colder, which made the atmosphere in the hall solidify, and the refreshing cigarette also seemed to have changed its taste, circling in circles above the incense burner, slowly rising and dissipating, losing its shape.
The doctor was sweating profusely in an instant, and realized that he seemed to have said the wrong thing and touched the pain of King Yan.
It turned out that Liu Dingguo's balls were too symmetrical, and the imperial doctor's statement was that the asymmetry was not serious, and it would not affect anything, and it had nothing to do with giving birth to a boy or a girl.
But the folk saying is different, if a man's balls are obviously not ordinarily big, he can only give birth to a boy, or a girl.
Han Yan's "physical examination" ghost idea is simply that the suspect is suspicious of himself, and he is crooked, especially if he can't give birth to a son like Yan Wang, he is even more suspicious, no matter whether your egg is right or not, as long as you do it according to my method, I will give you a contribution, and we will have a friendship.
Come up with a scientific experiment method for you, and you can't blame me if it fails.
If the folk saying is correct, then we will find the cause of not being able to give birth to a boy, and there will be a cure for the disease.
If the folk saying is not true, it also reassures you, and you have a bottom of your psychology.
It's just that I didn't expect Liu Dingguo's balls to be really crooked...... Playing crookedly, Han Yan is gambling with a winning method.
Now after the investigation is completed, looking at Liu Dingguo's face, the folk saying is correct...... But there was no plastic surgery technology in the feudal era, even if it was clear that it was the reason for the balls, there was no queen, but you didn't have the rule of law.
Liu Dingguo's face turned cold, and he must have thought of this, so he lost his temper.
"Come on, pull this quack out for me and chop it up." The cold voice resounded in the hall, and a trace of fireworks crackled from the palace lamp in the corner, and the candlelight flickered.
"King Yan spares his life." The doctor wanted to cry without tears, and suffered an unwarranted disaster, and the sharp cry for mercy echoed in the hall, which was very poignant, but it was not as good as the five big and three thick doormen who dragged him outward with his arms, and it was useless for you to struggle and kick your legs.
Han Yan's heart was sudden, his eyelids jumped, and for the first time, he saw the domineering and ruthless of the Han aristocratic class, and he was careless of human life.
I swallowed deeply the words that I wanted to beg for mercy for the doctor, and I didn't dare to say a word, for fear of angering King Yan, who was like a balloon filled to the limit, and it would explode at one point, and even I would be crushed.
When he came to the Han Dynasty, although it was not a troubled time, life and death were not in his control.
At this moment, Han Yan awakened. I am weak, if one day I anger others like this, but I am just the heir of a prince, what can I do if I chop you up?
Compared with the King of Yan, compared to the huge Yan Kingdom, the strength of his hometown Gong Gaohou is really not worth mentioning, all the population and land in the fief are not even comparable to a Ji City, the fox and the fake tiger can be, it is said that it is the heir of the princes, but in fact, it is strong and middle-class.
"I've got to find something for myself." Han Yan thought so.
