Chapter 258: A Request
"Brother Eleven, I have not very good news for you!" Li Xiu waved his hand to let Yuechan retreat, and then said to Zhang Shiyi solemnly. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"What's wrong, it can't be the child's problem, right?" Seeing the expression on Li Xiu's face, the bearded guest immediately spoke first, although Qu Yihuai may be a girl, but the girl also has the right to inherit in Wahaktong, in case Zhang Shiyi and Qu Yi really can't give birth to a boy in the future, then they can only replace this girl.
"It's not, it's just that Qu Yi said that she was angry with the eleventh brother, so she refused to see him!" Li Xiu smiled helplessly at this time, but there seemed to be a hint of inexplicability hidden in his smile.
"It's not surprising, although Qu Yi, a girl, usually has a big heart, but Eleven, the bastard, first made people's stomachs bigger, but she ran away alone, and during the time she was pregnant, Eleven didn't even see her, no wonder she was angry, but tomorrow they will get married, and Qu Yi is about to give birth, Eleven still wants to see her, at least talk about it, so as not to have problems tomorrow!" After listening to this, the bearded guest nodded in understanding, although Qu Yi is a foreign woman, she can't be too wronged.
"This ...... Where is Qu Yi, I will go to meet her, I will definitely make her change her mind! Zhang Shiyi also said when he heard this, he finally had a little conscience, and he also showed a bit of guilt on his face when he spoke.
"Eleventh brother, Qu Yi has already said just now, she doesn't want to see you, unless she ......" At the end, Li Xiu suddenly became a little hesitant.
"Unless what?" Zhang Shiyi immediately spoke first, although he was a little reluctant to marry Qu Yi before, but it was at this time, and Qu Yi was still pregnant with his child, so he suddenly began to care about Qu Yilai and wanted to see her immediately.
"Hehe, unless you promise her one condition." Li Xiu suddenly smiled at this time.
"It turned out to be just one condition, no problem, let alone one condition, even if it is ten, I will agree!" Zhang Shiyi immediately breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, it was just one condition, and with Qu Yi's understanding, she should not put forward any too difficult conditions.
"Brother Eleven is really happy, in fact, Qu Yi's condition is very simple, that is, he hopes to use the customs of their Wahaktong side to have children, if Eleven agrees, then she is willing to see you!" Li Xiu said with a smile, but his smile seemed to be mixed with a bit of pity, which made people a little confused.
"The custom of having children over there in Ohaktong?" Zhang Shiyi couldn't help but be a little confused when he heard this condition, although he had been there for a while, he had never seen what it was like for a local woman to give birth, let alone what kind of customs there were, so in the end he had to turn his head to look at his father's bearded guest, hoping that his father could help him answer.
However, the bearded guest was also confused at this time, and instead opened his mouth to ask Li Xiu: "Li Xiu, what is the custom of Wahaktong giving birth, is there any taboo?" ā
"Father, don't you know?" Before Li Xiu could speak, Zhang Shiyi asked with some surprise, he knew that whenever his father went to a place, he would understand the local customs and culture, so it was convenient to communicate with the locals, so he thought that his father would know.
"Nonsense, who would have nothing to do to ask a woman about having a baby?" The bearded guest glared at Zhang Shiyi angrily, and then turned his gaze to Li Xiu, hoping that he could answer this question.
However, I saw that Li Xiu spread his hands at this time and said helplessly: "Uncle, even you don't know the customs of Wahaktong, and I don't know even more, but I was curious to hear Qu Yi mention a little, it seems that when women give birth to children, they need their husbands to help, but our men here are absolutely not allowed to enter the delivery room." ā
"I see, it's just a trivial matter, you can agree to it eleven!" Hearing this, the bearded guest nodded, and then instructed Zhang Shiyi.
"This ...... Is it really that simple? Zhang Shiyi asked with some suspicion, because he always felt that Li Xiu's expression was a little strange when he spoke, as if he was not telling the truth, so he was a little alert.
"Then I don't know, if Brother Eleven doesn't believe it, you can ask Qu Yi in person!" Li Xiu smiled again and said, in fact, he lied, he knew what the customs were on Quyi's side, but he didn't want to tell Zhang Shiyi, so as not to scare him and run away overnight.
"Okay, I promise!" After hearing this, Zhang Shiyi hesitated for a moment, and finally gritted his teeth and said, then stood up and asked, "Where is Qu Yi, I am going to see her?" ā
Li Xiu saw Zhang Shiyi agree, and couldn't help but smile mysteriously at the moment, and then stood up and arranged for them to meet in a guest room.
After Zhang Shiyi left, only Li Xiu and the bearded guest were left in the living room, and after chatting for a while, the bearded guest suddenly remembered something, and stood up and said excitedly: "By the way, most of the things I brought from the Americas have been shipped, mainly some seeds, can you see if there are any useful ones?" ā
Li Xiu also stood up immediately when he heard this, and hurriedly urged the bearded guest to take him to see it, before the bearded guest only brought Qu Yi over, as for the things he brought from the Americas, they were all placed on the Nanyang side, and now they finally brought it.
At that moment, the bearded guest took Li Xiu to the front yard, and the carriages that came with him all entered the courtyard at this time, and were unloading the things on the cart, because the bearded guest already knew that Zhang Shiyi had brought corn, sweet potatoes and peppers, so he brought some new seeds, and some handicrafts from the Americas, which were useless, but could be used as gifts.
Li Xiu stepped forward quickly, opened some sacks unloaded from the car, revealing seeds of various styles, but most of the seeds Li Xiu didn't know, and he also needed to be introduced by the bearded guest, according to him, most of these seeds were collected from the Mayans, of course, not all the seeds he wanted, but some crops that the Mayans usually planted, a large part of which belonged to vegetables or spices, and there were also some crops other than corn.
Li Xiu opened these bags of seeds one by one, and finally found a seed he knew in a bag, and immediately excitedly stepped forward to grab a handful of this seed, and then peeled one and threw the seed into his mouth, and was immediately excited, and after a long time he said: "I almost forgot that there is this thing, peanuts, what a good thing!" ā
Li Xiu said and grabbed a handful of seeds in the bag again, this seed is a very common peanut in later generations, for the Tang Dynasty, edible oil is always a few people can enjoy, even if the Li family Zhuangzi became rich with his help, but usually Liu Boss They are reluctant to use oil to fry vegetables, if peanuts can be promoted, the output of peanuts should be able to greatly increase the oil production of Datang.
Found peanuts, Li Xiu couldn't help but be more excited, and checked these seeds again seriously, but although he was born in the countryside, he actually didn't do much farm work, and he didn't know much about crop seeds.
However, when he thought of planting these seeds, Li Xiu suddenly had some worries about a problem, that is, the invasion of alien species, you must know that all continents in later generations have encountered similar problems, such as China was invaded by Brazilian turtles, the United States was invaded by Asian carp, etc., these plants will also harm the biological balance of a region, especially there are many seeds he doesn't know what they are used for?
"Forget it, now the main thing is to solve the problem of people's livelihood, the invasion of these alien species is still a little too far away, and these plants are the food of the Mayans, since they can eat it, then we can naturally eat it, as long as it is something that can be eaten, it will not pose a threat in the Central Plains!" Li Xiu thought about it for a long time, and finally shook his head and said to himself.
Of course, having said that, Li Xiu still decided to plant a small number of these seeds himself to see what they were, and if they were useful, they would be kept, and if they were useless, they would be burned to death, so as not to cause damage to the vegetation of the Central Plains. In fact, Li Xiu also knew that with the discovery of the Americas by bearded guests and the deepening of exchanges in the future, species invasion was inevitable, but he didn't want to speed up the process by his own hands.
After Li Xiu sent these seeds to the warehouse, it was getting late, Li Xiu asked people to prepare a banquet and personally entertain the bearded guests, but Zhang Shiyi and Qu Yi had not come out yet, and it was estimated that the two of them must have a lot to say, so Li Xiu didn't bother, but just asked people to send them some food.
Early the next morning, Li Xiu was pulled up from the bed by Yi Niang, because they already knew that Zhang Shiyi and Qu Yi were going to marry today, because the bearded guest had no manpower in Chang'an, so the whole thing was handled by Li Xiu, and Li Xiu had already prepared for this before the bearded guest came, plus there was the help of Princess Pingyang's side, so he was not worried at all.
The house that Li Xiu built for Zhang Shiyi and them is not very far from Li Xiu's house, about two or three miles away, since last night, there are people in the house to put up lights and lights to prepare, and the bearded guest lived in the house last night, when Li Xiu came here, he found that the bearded guest was directing his people to decorate the auditorium.
Li Xiu saw this and hurriedly stepped forward to help, the wedding is not only a worship hall, but also wine and food, the arrangement of guests, etc., people who don't have the ability really can't do it, but there are not many acquaintances in Chang'an, and Qu Yi still has a big belly, in this case, getting married is not a glorious thing, so the bearded guest didn't invite anyone, but in addition to Li Xiu's family and Princess Pingyang, there is also a person who makes Li Xiu frown a little.
