Chapter 5: King's Landing (8)

"I thought that when the fourth grandmother went, you would be able to talk. But my uncle is going to marry the princess of Daqin again, miss, if you don't cheer up a little, you won't be able to live in the future! What's the use of making more money? But the big girl became anxious, as if this was a big deal for her.

"The maid listened to people, tomorrow will be canonized, when the uncle becomes the emperor of Great Qin, you can't be the queen's mother, in the future, the maid is in this mansion, there is really nowhere to put your face! is to make you the queen, it's not a matter if you don't have an heir, you better hurry up, give birth to a little young lady or a little young master. ”

Liu Yiyi listened, and blushed, this Yahuan, who grew up at home, said to be the master and servant, but in fact, she was also a sister who had nothing to say, this was rough, but it was not rough, so she blushed and whispered: "This is not to say that you can get pregnant if you are pregnant!" You also know from the outside, my husband really has nothing to say to me, and he is quite ...... That hard-working! ”

"The servant has an idea!"

"What's the idea? What kind of sending Guanyin and the like, don't be in front of me, the sesame oil money has donated tens of thousands of taels over the years! ”

The big girl coughed twice, and muttered a few words a little, Liu Yiyi couldn't hear clearly, and taught her to be clearer, but she could hear her say: "Miss, your stomach is not angry, do you want to give birth to one for you?" Miss, don't think crooked, the maid doesn't want any name, let's do it secretly, wait for the uncle to drink about the same that day, [the maid will take the rain and dew for you, anyway, the aunt is going to war, the slave is going to be pregnant, don't go out of this yard, and then say that Miss gave birth to you.] ”

"Miss. My mother may have given birth to seven maidservant sisters. There were twelve brothers, and a few died before they reached adulthood. The maid thought that it was easy to give birth to herself. ”

Liu Yiyi was not angry, because the marrying girl, normally speaking, is generally a big girl.

What kind of concept is a big girl in a room? That is, when the master and his wife have intercourse, she can not only serve her closely, but also have sex together under the beckoning of the master.

So the idea proposed by this girl is not ridiculous. Because she herself is in sexual affairs, she serves as a concubine.

As for saying that Ding Yi didn't touch her, that's Ding Yi's own business, some people like to eat Dongpo meat, and some people like to eat light vegetarian dishes, this is a matter of taste.

"So you want to give me a baby?" Ding Yi's voice suddenly sounded behind Liu Yiyi, but he was already dressed and ready to go out to check the ward, and came over and said with a smile, "You guys! I'm always thinking about what I have and what I don't have. Hehe, Dongyang and Junyue, can't they recognize you as their mother? Later, these two children. It's our heirs, don't think nonsense. ”

As she spoke, she walked past the big girl and looked her up and down. smiled: "It seems to be really good to give birth?" ”

But he embarrassed the big girl and hid her head in Liu Yiyi's arms.

Ding Yi walked out of the yard. Cao Jixiang had already raised the air and waited there, and opened his mouth to persuade: "Young master." Why don't you rest today, you have to get married tomorrow! The old slave just went to inspect it. ”

However, Ding Yi did not accept this kindness, because Ding Yi knew very well that with the first time, it was easy to have a second time.

He didn't want to let himself relax, whether it was America or the Ottomans, for Ding Yi, a qiē was not over, far from the point of sitting back and enjoying it.

"Let's go, old thing." Ding Yi patted Cao Jixiang on the shoulder, smiled and motioned for him to lead the way.

In the early morning of the second day, Ding asked for leave not to go to the court, the goldfish alley side of Jinghai County Wangfu, is a lantern, is the New Year's holiday, it is not as lively as this, the left and right are clean streets, but on the side of the East Archway Street, there are also goldfish alleys, have opened dozens of tables of seats, on weekdays, in the goldfish alley or the east archway of this piece of vegetable sellers, stalls, have posted posts, invite them to come to the banquet, and declare that they are not allowed to send congratulatory gifts.

Originally, Ding Yi didn't plan to do this, the sister-in-law of the Ding family who came from Rongcheng came up with this idea, originally she wanted to have a flowing water banquet. was known by Li Xian later, it felt too ridiculous, this is not a rural landlord showing off his wealth, the dignified King of Daming County, who is still crowning the crown of the ancient kingdom of Great Qin, and opening a flowing water seat? It's a shame that she can figure it out!

So Shang Zhen came up with an idea, because Ding Yi wants to marry Sofia, he must clean the street, and disturb the business of the neighborhood, so it is better to send some posts to those who are doing small businesses and stalls on the left and right, and teach them to drink a cup of wine. It can be regarded as a pro-people move, which seems to be humane.

The chief and deputy envoys to greet Princess Daqin were Chen San and Zhang Mao.

Two teams of cuirassiers, waiting in line outside the Donghua Gate, by the chief and deputy envoys into the South Palace to pick up the princess Sofia of Daqin, the cuirassiers will control the Arab thoroughbreds of the hip horse, change the formation to guard the sedan chair, all the way to the goldfish alley. Entering the main gate, the first assistant Li Xian and the ministers who watched the ceremony and the ministers of the Ministry of Shangshu were already in the main hall.

Yao Kui, the female official of the Ministry of Rites, led Sofia and Liu Yiyi to the throne before worshipping, and read to them the first canonization edict of the New Roman Empire, enshrined Liu Yiyi as the empress and Sofia as the imperial concubine. The female officer of the honor guard read the golden book to Liu Yiyi, and after Liu Yiyi received the golden book, she bowed three times and bowed three times, and the canonization ceremony was completed.

This is not the end, Yao Kui, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, has spent a lot of effort in this matter. Because Ding Yi promised him, he also served as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites of the Great Qin Empire, and it seems that there are people in the market who have made "the elders of the three dynasties, the spring officials of the two countries" to congratulate him, and the spring official is another name for the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, so Yao Kui is very proud and does it carefully.

Therefore, it is not an ordinary grandeur.

What else is assigned to the queen's guards in the back, holding a crested head to carry the furnace, and Cao Jixiang leads the eunuchs to support them on the left and right; And Sofia wants to jump the brazier with a treasure bottle or something, and what kind of peacock sedan chair do you want to change. Ding Yi looked at the charter at that time, and asked Yao Kui: "There's no need to be so troublesome, right?" ”

But Yao Kui quoted scriptures, and every detail could pull out allusions or customs, Ding Yi couldn't, so he had to listen to him.

Ding took Constantine XI's sword, tied Constantine XI's purple robe, and put on the crown of the Roman Empire's golden laurel leaf circle, and all the disciples and soldiers in the palace bowed and saluted, including Yao Kui, because he accepted the title of Shangshu of the Roman Empire's Ministry of Rites.

But when it came time to canonize the hundred officials, Yao Kui was disappointed, because Ding Yi did not follow the script.

Cao Jixiang read Ding Yi's order: "The system said: The foundation of the country is at home, the foundation of the family is in the body, and now the Roman Empire, there is no inch of land, and the canonization of hundreds of officials is suspended, and the eight major departments are used to act ......"

As for the other details, they were still implemented according to the regulations set by Yao Kui, and when Sofia was led into the cave room by the female official, Ding Yi simply said to her: "You wait first." He was reviewing the text sent from Tianjin, and even on this wedding night, Sofia felt like a superfluous person.

Because in addition to her and Ding Yi in the marriage room, there are many people, not slaves, maids, or Chinese customs in the cave room.

It is Liu Yiyi, Chen San, Ding Junyue, Liu Ji and others.

The huge map was hung on the wall, and Chen San pointed to the map while whispering something to Liu Ji, and with Sofia's limited Daming official hearing, he could only hear: "...... From here, there must be an approximate point in time for how much sailing time is required, so that the soldiers can be mentally prepared during adaptive training...... The soldiers on the steppe can immediately respond to the call and assemble a division of cavalry, which will not take more than half a month, but in terms of discipline, it will ......"

And Liu Yiyi and Ding Junyue pointed to the red marked road on the map, and then wrote something in the account book, what they said, Sofia really didn't understand it at all: "...... When this trade route is reduced, the share of the palace will also be reduced...... However, you can add the output of the quota here...... You have to make it clear to Empress Dowager Qian that during the war, if there is a logistical problem and the war situation is not smooth, the tightening of our trade routes will definitely be extended indefinitely......"

"Mother, please let me go." Cao Jixiang's flattering voice sounded on the side, and then he walked inside, put a copy of the document on Ding Yi's desk, and said in a low voice, "Sir, the telegraph line has been established in Guangdong from Guangzhou Mansion to the Yamen of the county below; The same is true in Guangxi...... The war in the Americas is not going well, because of illness, many non-combat attrition on Liu Zijian's side ......"

Ding Fangcai put down the Wen Jiàn in his hand, raised his head, took the report and read it, and said with a smile: "Wan Xunji is capable of doing anything, write to Du Zhanzhi, and ask him to prepare at least one brigade of troops, which can be a militia brigade, ready to support Ceuta at any time." Because Wan Xunji pushed so hard, relying on him to recruit Indians for training, I was afraid that he would not be able to cope with it, and Wang Yue would definitely give him a supplementary army......"

"Yes, the old slave wrote it down." Cao Jixiang answered, took a pencil and marked it in the small notebook.

Over there, Liu Yiyi raised her voice: "San'er, one million taels?" When you are a teacher, will you turn stones into gold? You want so much money, how is it possible? You will be given a maximum of 100,000 taels! All resources must be supported by the Liangguang side, the equipment replenishment of the fourth division, and the establishment of the four garrison divisions. ”

At this time, there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside, but it was Li Dongyang who dealt with the guests watching the ceremony, entered and waved towards Sofia, and then ran to Ding Yi's side: "Father, the guests have all resigned, and the child has taught the ninth day of the first month, and I will mobilize the heads of the Tiandihui and the Zhongyi Society in Beijing to preach to them the importance of sending troops overseas." ”

Ding nodded and asked a few more questions, and then he saw Sofia and realized that she had been standing here for a long time.

"I'm sorry that the Ottomans refused to return Roman territory and that Mehmed II declared war on me." (To be continued......) R1292
