Liu Ziqiu followed Lin Qiao'er's gaze and saw a man by the bonfire looking this way, the man was in his twenties, tall and thin, with a white face, and he couldn't see clearly, but he could feel his poisonous eyes

"Who is the tall man over there in Qianyu," Liu Ziqiu had already vaguely guessed that there were only two possibilities for Lin Qiao'er's mother and son to be afraid of this, and there were only two possibilities for the Tuyuhun nobles who had abused her, or her husband Jin Bo

"Hmph, you men are just eating in the bowl, looking at the two beauties in the pot, me and Sister Qiao'er, it's not enough to say who you have a crush on," Tuoba Qianyu pretended to be coquettish, but in fact, Liu Ziqiu was not that kind of person in his heart

However, in this era, only a party girl like Tuoba Qianyu would make such a joke, and if it were Gao Xiu'er, she would never be able to say such a thing

Not to mention that before the crossing, there were all big beauties on TV and in advertisements, even if there were not a few beauties that Liu Ziqiu had seen since the crossing, like Gao Xiuer, Yunli Shih, Wang Guizhi, and Li Jing's wife Zhang Zhuchen, all of them were all big beauties, and the most beautiful should be Xie Muyu

Liu Ziqiu was able to treat Tuoba Qianyu as his own woman, not really greedy for her beauty, but because Tuoba Qianyu's character was like a girl in later generations, on the contrary, she learned from the Han family everywhere on a sunny day, and lost her daughter, which made Liu Ziqiu only have pity and no love

"Don't mess around, I'm talking about a man," Liu Ziqiu was full of thoughts at this time, how could he have time to flirt with Tuoba Qianyu, if that man was a Jin Bo or Tuyuhun nobleman, the question would be troublesome, at least Tuoba was still inextricably linked with Murong Fuyun

But when Liu Ziqiu looked up again, there was no trace of the person, the bonfire was "crackling" and burning, as bright as day, but there were thousands of men and women around the bonfire, but it was very easy for one person to hide in it

Liu Ziqiu had no choice but to give up, waved his hand and said, "Forget it, I'll go to see your father first, and I'll bring a gift."

In fact, Liu Ziqiu can also ask Lin Qiaoer, but doing so will inevitably evoke Lin Qiaoer's sad memory, but he can't bear it

Tuoba Qianyu was already jumping up with excitement: "What gift wouldn't be a dowry to my father?"

The rules of the party are different from those of the Han people, as long as they accept the dowry of the other party, the girl can live in the man's house, just like the current sunny day, and then she can stay in Weiding City openly

Tuoba Qianyu's words suddenly gave Liu Ziqiu a wake-up call

If you can settle the family affairs, wouldn't you be able to get the support of the Tuoba Ministry, although this is a bit utilitarian, but in the current situation, it is a good way, when Liu Ziqiu announced that Tuoba Qianyu is his own woman, maybe he subconsciously had this idea, but he didn't want to admit it

Tuoba Qianyu didn't care at all, these people who had already grabbed Liu Ziqiu's arm and led them towards the village, and their intimate behavior envied the countless men around the bonfire

……

The wedding between Tuoba Yuanju and Xiangli Qingtian was very high-profile, not only the leaders and elders of the eight departments of the party came, but also the leaders of the Muwei and Tiele tribes of Mengwuzha and Hun Luo, and even Murong Kuaxing, who had gone away, also sent representatives, so Tuoba Mumi was very busy, even so, Tuoba Mumi still left the other guests and greeted him in person

Liu Ziqiu's identity and his relationship with Tuoba Qianyu, Tuoba Mumi has already heard Tuoba Yuanju say

When Tuoba Qianyu returned from Weiding City, she also brought a generous gift, including a whole box of gold, silver, jewelry, and as many as fifty horses of silk and satin, these things were of course collected by Yu Jing with great effort, but now they were taken by Liu Ziqiu as a congratulatory gift, and such a heavy gift was unique among all the guests

The gifts are still rich, but Liu Ziqiu is still the leader of the Xihai Clan, the actual controller of Weiding City, which makes Tuoba Mumi dare not wait to ignore it

After the guests and hosts met and greeted, Tuoba Mumi let Liu Ziqiu into the courtyard, Liu Ziqiu noticed that there was a brand-new wooden plaque above the courtyard gate, with four Chinese characters written on it, "Dang Xiang Wangfu", but Tuoba Mumi's home compared with other ethnic groups, except for the larger place, it looks very simple, the fence made of reeds is filled with the courtyard wall, and several low wooden houses are covered with thatch, and there is nothing special

In fact, as the head of the eight departments of the party, the Tuoba Department was not richer than the other seven departments, and the reason why they were stronger than the Xiangli Department was because they had a large population, a larger population, more soldiers, and stronger strength

"Hehe, let Lord Liu smile," Tuoba Mumi, in the imagination of Tuoba Mumi, people who can afford such generous gifts will naturally think that this place is shabby

Liu Ziqiu arched his hand and said: "The prince is polite, Liu is also from a bitter background."

"That's good, that's good, Lord Liu, please," Tuoba Mumi made a gesture, but he didn't move, only aimed his eyes at the entourage behind Liu Ziqiu

Liu Ziqiu turned around and nodded to Ji Rentai and them, took a huge sack and said, "You are all waiting here"

Ji Rentai agreed, and led people to scatter in the courtyard, and their group of thirteen people occupied almost every corner of the courtyard, don't look at their loose formation, but they are horns of each other, which can not only protect Lin Qiao'er's mother and son, but also pay attention to the movement in the house at any time, obviously after some training in advance

Others can't go in, but this is also Tuoba Qianyu's home, of course she can't stop her, even if her father is in front of her, Tuoba Qianyu is still holding Liu Ziqiu's arm as if no one is around, as if he is afraid that he will run away, Tuoba Mumi just smiled faintly when he saw this scene, and didn't say anything

The furnishings in the house are just as simple, and even inferior to Xiang Li Duoyun's home, which is not at all like a leader, which makes Liu Ziqiu quite surprised

In fact, it is no wonder that although he is also the leader, Tuoba Mumi's expenses are much larger than those of Xiang Li Duoyun, and his income is not much more than that of Xiang Li Duoyun, because Tuoba Mumi has ambitions and always wants to unify the eight departments of the party, which is inevitable to make friends with the leaders of the various ministries, the last time the eight departments of the alliance were held, Tuoba Mumi spent more than half a year's income, this wedding not only lost the old bottom, even the congratulatory gifts brought back by Tuoba Qianyu have all been replaced with cattle and sheep, and the wine and meat consumed by guests and friends from all over the world are a daily number, although the guests have also sent gifts, but the most is only a few dozen sheep, which is not enough for them to eat themselves

Of course, Liu Ziqiu didn't know Tuoba Mumi's difficulties, and thought that Tuoba Muya was thrifty, and suddenly admired it deeply, so he gently put the hemp bag in front of Tuoba Mumi, and said: "A little bit of a small gift is not a respect, and I hope the prince will not dislike it."

"Didn't Qianyu already bring back the gift, how could I make you break the bank and make the old man embarrassed," Tuoba Mumi said as he involuntarily lifted the sack

Indeed, Tuoba Mumi is too short of money now, and he can't wait for this sack to be all gold, but when he mentions it, the sack actually doesn't move at all, Tuoba Mumi is stunned, and he still can't lift it again, he glanced at Liu Ziqiu suspiciously, but just now Liu Ziqiu lifted the sack in with one hand, and gently put it in front of him

Tuoba Qianyu couldn't hold back her curiosity for a long time, let go of Liu Ziqiu's arm, jumped forward in a few steps, and gently untied the rope at the mouth of the bag, and couldn't help but be surprised

Tuoba Mumi looked at it and said suddenly: "Lord Liu, this gift is too valuable."

The sack is filled with swarthy pig iron, I'm afraid it doesn't weigh hundreds of pounds, no wonder Tuoba Mumi can't mention it, pig iron is not only heavy for Tuoba Mumi, but also really expensive, this expensive is not expensive, but there is money and nowhere to buy

The Great Sui Imperial Court strictly controlled the trade of salt and iron, especially the iron was not allowed to be sold, of course, the regulations were to stipulate that there would still be a lot of pig iron flowing to Mobei and flowing to the Western Regions every year, but that was all over the country, risking the risk of killing the head and exterminating the clan, the price of smuggling out was naturally not ordinary, and it was not easy to buy, Yang Guang has always been generous to foreigners, but he has extremely strict control in this regard, he rewarded gold and silver, rewarded silk, but did not see him reward pig iron

A few hundred catties of pig iron can make many scimitars, build many farm tools, and also make iron pots, which is not ridiculous, in many people's homes, iron pots are the best dowry for daughters when they get married

Liu Ziqiu looked at the shocked Tuoba Mumi father and daughter and said with a smile: "There are a total of five hundred catties of pig iron here, if the prince thinks it's okay, he can give you another two thousand catties when he turns around, but Liu also has a small request, and I hope the prince will not refuse."

Weiding City was originally the royal city of Tuyuhun, there was also a lack of iron in the city, even the shops with the most complete goods did not have blacksmith shops, it was impossible to open, these pig iron came from the army, it was used to repair weapons and vehicles, after the defeat of Tuyuhun, the army returned to the Central Plains, these pig iron was too heavy, it was inconvenient to carry on the road, so it was left with other baggage, and later most of the Xihai garrisons chose to return to their hometowns, they took away their clothes and armor, weapons, and took away some of the grain and grass, but they threw away the pig iron, these pig iron to Liu Ziqiu and grain and grass are the same important strategic materials, naturally all transported into Weiding City, one or two did not fall

Tuoba Mumi, Lao Cheng, knew that there was no free lunch in the world, and the five hundred catties were clearly used by Liu Ziqiu to hang his appetite, but the temptation of two thousand catties of pig iron was too great, and Tuoba Mumi couldn't let himself not move, he hesitated for a moment and said: "Lord Liu, please speak, but if the old man can do it, he will never shirk."

Liu Ziqiu laughed and said: "What the prince can't do, Liu won't bring it up, Liu wants to marry your daughter, and I hope the prince can agree" to read om),.
