Chapter 43: The Vulture Sword Maid Arrives on the Island
As the city lord's wedding was announced to the whole city, the people of those immigrant villages also knew that the city must have been very lively that day. Just for safety reasons, the household department said that each village would send up to 100 people to participate in the wedding celebration on that day.
Despite the size of the new southern city, all the immigrants from the island poured into the city on the same day. I'm afraid that the new southern city will also become crowded. This means that some special provisions are needed.
This time Zhao Xiaoxi's wedding, in addition to the congratulatory gifts sent by Fanbang, Zhao Xiaoxi also ordered that the people and officials in the city were not allowed to give gifts. Even the immigrants who are currently living in the Tang Dynasty Remnant Valley have received a wedding gift from Zhao Xiaoxi.
In Cho Hyo-seok's words, this is called celebrating with the people. Compared with the immigrants living in the new southern city, these immigrants who are still in a state of reclamation are not living well. These food and clothing can also make them feel a little happy.
And during this time, with the continuous influx of immigrants into the plains for land reclamation. The three self-proclaimed remnant villages also gradually learned that there was a very vast plain deep behind them.
Seeing the continuous influx of these immigrants, a wharf began to be built on the beach at the entrance of the village. This kind of interpersonal communication and communication gradually made the young people of the three villages have the idea of longing to go out of the village and see the world.
As if knowing this situation, Zhao Xiaoxi specially asked the officials in charge of Pingyuan immigration affairs to send a happy note to the three village heads. If they want, they can take ten villagers to the New South City to attend the wedding.
During this time, the impact of this constant influx of migrants has been felt. The three village chiefs and patriarchs also know that no matter how conformist they are, it is really unknown whether their family can continue.
To this end, the three patriarchs who received a notification from those officials. Finally agreed to take a ship of the Navy. On the day of the wedding, he accompanied the immigration representatives to Xinnancheng to celebrate the wedding of Cho Hyo-seok and feel the outside world.
Four days later, at noon, the four daughters of Mei Jian, who had traveled all the way, finally got their wish to see Ryukyu Island after experiencing the pain of seasickness. For them. It's the first time I've come to such an overseas island.
Don't look at the seventy-two island owners they govern, but most of these island owners don't live up to their names. It's just the leader of a small gang that lives on the coast. It was only for the sake of good management that he was appointed as the owner of the island.
The navy, which is responsible for picking up this women's army, also feels that these young and beautiful sword-wielding women are a little overwhelmed. But the officers who came to pick up and drop off all knew that the first four almost ordinary women were the future princess!
These were the princess's female bodyguards. Not to mention these ordinary naval soldiers, even if they are officers. Don't dare to offend at will, who knows what kind of punishment they will receive when they get to the island for angering these women's soldiers?
During this time, they all knew that the fleet to Goryeo and the Wa Kingdom had already transported many women from both countries. And these women are said to be married to them in the future. How can it be matched. Even their commander, Li Yuncong, didn't know.
These foreign women who were trafficked are now all placed in New South City. A special place. There, they were heavily guarded. And the people guarding those camps were the most elite armed guards under Zhao Xiaoxi.
Everyone knows that since Li Yuncong said that those Fanbang women who bought them will be allowed to be married to them as wives in the future. These were made up of pirates. The naval officers and men who turned into the imperial court officers and soldiers did not dare to miss this kind of good thing.
Looking at the Ryukyu Island that came into view, the four girls who had hardly eaten much on the boat in the past two days. But he looked very happy, staring at the bustling dock in front of him. I hope to see the figure of the longing for the twilight.
As for the envoys of the Vulture Palace who went down to the Tianshan Mountain with them, they also knew that their future would be spent here. As for their fate in the future, there are examples of sisters who have married and had children, and they are not too worried.
For them, since Zhao Xiaoxi became the palace master, they have also been canceled from marriage. Except for some swordsmen who are old and really don't want to get married, those swordsmen who are still young after marriage have a good home.
This time, they went down the mountain with the four sword maids, and they were also instructed by Tianshan Tong's grandmother, and their lives in the future are still in the hands of Zhao Xiaoxi. But with the care of these four sisters, their fate should not be too bad.
Just as the ship slowly approached the shore, the sharp-eyed Ju Jian quickly saw that the dock looked a little lonely. Immediately said excitedly: "Sister, you see? Brother Zhao is waiting for us on the dock? He's coming to pick us up! ”
Looking at the excitement of this little sister, Mei Jian and the three of them also looked very happy. Anyway, the day they handed over their bodies and minds to Cho Hyo-seok, they didn't expect much. And this time, Zhao Xiaoxi did not live up to their efforts.
Although the four sisters cannot become concubines and equal wives, they can only be Zhao Xiaoxi's concubines. Compared with their background and fate, this prince's concubine is also a blessing they have cultivated for several lifetimes.
When the ship stopped, the four sisters jumped down as soon as possible. This action seems to be somewhat urgent. After all, the sea boat is still a bit high from the pier. But for them who have light skills, there is really not much danger.
Zhao Xiaoxi, who was standing below, watched the four girls jumping down one after another, and reached out with some tears and laughter, and took the four girls who jumped down into his arms one after another. This action, the people who came to pick up the boat were also very envious.
These four women with beautiful faces and similar appearances will have some thoughts when any man sees them. And when the four girls got off the boat and surrounded Zhao Xiaoxi and were speechless, the other vulture palace swords and maids walked down the boat ladder in turn.
When the women were assembled, looking at Zhao Xiaoxi, who turned his head, these swords and maids quickly knelt down on one leg and said, "Vulture Palace swordsmen, see the palace master!" ”
Listening to the voices of these masked women with swords, the people who were watching also felt that these women were not simple. As for the title of palace master, many people feel a little puzzled. After all, Zhao Xiaoxi is a prince!
On the contrary, it was Zhao Xiaoxi, who smiled and said, "Get up!" Fortunately, we will go home first and wash the dust for you. I'll talk about the rest when you're rested. ”
'Thank you, Palace Master! ’
After the women got up, they stood behind the four women with swords in their hands, just as they had done when they were in the Vulture Palace. Looking at this situation, everyone also felt that these women with swords were afraid that they were supporting the four sisters.
And at this time, Mu Wanqing, who was the future concubine, also came to Mei Jian's four daughters. Compared with the previous title of girl, now Mu Wanqing has also changed to a sister. In this situation, Zhao Xiaoxi, who watched it, was also very relieved.
As this group of mighty women's troops entered the city, Xinnancheng, which itself has more men and fewer women, has become more and more lively. If there were no defenders to open the way, I was afraid that those people would crowd the streets and drain the water.
Regarding the situation of the prosperity and decline of the yang and yin in Xinnan City, Zhao Xiaoxi naturally knows it. But this kind of thing can't be rushed, those Fanbang women still need to be educated well.
At its simplest, these Fanbang women had to learn to speak the Song Dynasty dialect. If they can't even speak, how will they start a family with those who are married? At least Zhao Hyo-seok doesn't want these women to have a hard time here.
Another very simple reason is that these Fanbang women who were trafficked are relatively young. As for some of the older ones, most of them are little widows who have been married in Fanbang.
It's just that none of them have given birth, and they don't look very old. In the end, it was sold as goods by the nobles of the country. The pirates in charge of the acquisition were not too picky, thinking that they could have children.
As these women were centrally settled, Zhao Xiaoxi found them a job and asked his officials to give them lectures. If anyone can't, skillfully conversing in Song dialect, they won't be married.
If they can't get married, then they can only stay in that camp as female slaves and work for Zhao Xiaoxi for free. Although they can eat and clothe, they don't have much freedom to speak of. This means that if you want to be free, you must learn to speak the Song Dynasty dialect.
knows this kind of thing, Zhao Xiaoxi, who is not in a hurry, also hopes that this kind of thing to seek the future for his subordinates can be handled well. Therefore, the matter of marriage must be carefully arranged, so as to be fair, just and open.
In these years, there are more wolves in New South City and less meat, and no one dares to guarantee it. If this matter is not done well, it will definitely make some of his subordinates complain. This kind of time bomb, Zhao Xiaoxi naturally doesn't like it, and his good intentions do bad things.
As for these swordsmen and maids of the Vulture Palace, Zhao Xiaoxi's arrangements for them are also free. He doesn't arrange their lives, he lets them choose freely. As long as the two are happy, he will not stop them from choosing.
Although they are all women, the status of these swordsmen is naturally higher. So the people who can match their identities are naturally not ordinary people. After all, as the escort of the princess of the palace, not everyone can approach it.
Walking on this crowded street, these swordsmen and maids of the Vulture Palace are glad that they are wearing veils. If it weren't for that, having so many people staring at it would definitely make them feel red-faced.
And along the way, Zhao Xiaoxi quickly brought all of them into the newly completed City Lord's Mansion. Looking at this bright and dazzling City Lord's Mansion, all the women felt that their eyes were a little insufficient.
Let the housekeeper Ah Fu take all these dozens of swordsmen to the backyard room to rest. After prohibiting any non-royal family members from entering, Zhao Xiaoxi took Mei Jian's four daughters and gave them a look at his parents. After all, they are also the daughters-in-law of the future Zhao family!
Looking at the almost average appearance of the four sisters, Princess Xu also felt that it was too magical. Especially Duan Zhengchun, he also thinks that Zhao Xiaoxi's blessing is really good. This kind of blessing, even if he was back then, he had never encountered it! (To be continued......)
