Chapter Seventy-Three: Gifts
Chapter Seventy-Three: Gifts
Hearing Xiao Yu's words, the faces of everyone present all changed, including the Cuenca who was greeted by Xiao Yu to his mother just now.
In fact, they naturally knew who Xiao Yu was, and before Xiao Yu entered the city, Wang Zimo had already informed Wang Tianhu of the news that Xiao Yu was coming.
However, a declining territory, a declining nobleman, a lord without any qualifications is nothing at all in their eyes.
Otherwise, Wang Tianhu would not have been able to ask someone to bring Xiwen back. If the Xiao family was still as prosperous as before, he wouldn't dare to do it if he had a hundred guts.
Everything, just because this family has declined, everything, just because this former duke title is no longer worthy of the name.
However, even if the name is not true, the duke is the duke, the title, and it is still there.
The prince and uncle, the fifth-level title, each lower level, must be greeted, stand, and salute to the higher-level title, which is not only the Tianshi Dynasty, but also the rules that have existed in this era for tens of thousands of years.
This is a hierarchical society, and hierarchy represents everything.
Perhaps, in the near future, the Tianshi Dynasty may fall and a new dynasty will replace it, but since the Tianshi Dynasty still exists, and everyone is a subject of the Tianshi Dynasty, then it is necessary to abide by the rules of the Tianshi Dynasty and respect the title of the Tianshi Dynasty.
Perhaps, there are some places where this kind of title has been somewhat despised now, and those declining high-level nobles do not dare to argue with those powerful new low-level nobles, but if it is really studied in detail, if these low-level nobles really dare to be too presumptuous, then there will be people who stand up to defend the dignity of the Tianshi Dynasty. Although, this maintenance is only for their own rights and interests.
The few people present were discussing just now that the Principality of Karn, which was five hundred miles away, had annexed a territory, just to find a reason not to pay tribute to the Tianshi Dynasty and to despise the royal court.
Actually, many people don't pay tribute now.
But once you give someone else such a reason, then give an excuse to other people who are eyeing you.
The Wang family is here, it is not that there are no enemies, nor are there no opponents, if the other party finds a righteous excuse and unites other territories to destroy the Wang family, many territories will be willing to participate to get a piece of the pie.
This era is the most sensitive era, and everyone has essentially despised the majesty of the Tianshi Dynasty, and they completely disobey the orders of the Tianshi Dynasty, but they absolutely dare not say it.
Just like the Spring and Autumn Period in Chinese history, the Zhou Dynasty still exists, but the vassal states have acted completely independently, not listening to the orders of the Zhou Dynasty, and not paying tribute, but even so, no one dares to destroy the Zhou Dynasty so directly, calling himself the emperor, and no one dares to say that they are self-reliant and do not listen to the call of the Zhou Dynasty. Everyone tacitly agreed, and they still surrendered on the surface, but they only established their own small kingdom in private, shirked the orders of the Zhou room in various ways, and then developed little by little to the Warring States period.
When everyone saw Xiao Yu, or when they heard that Xiao Yu was coming, they didn't pay much attention to it, just a gentleman who inherited the title, it is said that he eats, drinks, prostitutes, gambles, has nothing to do, and is a loser.
In fact, this can only be blamed Wang Zimo for not fully reporting the situation on the Lion King Linghe Road at the beginning, originally he wanted to bring Xiwen over first, and then report to Wang Tianhu by the way, after all, these things are just a servant to report is not comprehensive, and he lost the free magic necklace, so naturally it can't be reported by others. But who would have thought that Xiao Yu, a hooligan, would have to follow him directly.
Moreover, Xiao Yu told Grom and Tyrande to wear cloaks at all times, so as not to shock the world and cause trouble. Although he is not afraid of trouble, there is no need to be too public. After all, there are already too few orcs and elves in this world. Especially as soon as Tyrande's appearance goes out, he can directly fall into the city and the country, and everyone in a city will come to see it, which is too public. When they saw Grom and Tyrande come in, they just thought they were just ordinary guards. If he knew that it was an orc, an elf, he would not have fired at Xiao Yu so arrogantly, and he would definitely wonder how this lord could have an orc.
Although the little dragon is a dragon, if you don't look carefully from a distance now, you think it's just a high-level magical beast. When the dragon clan was young, the dragon horns did not fully grow any of the features, and it was difficult to distinguish them.
Therefore, in the bottom of my heart, everyone at the scene already had contempt and contempt in their hearts, and naturally there would be nothing out of the city to greet them. However, the duke title of Xiao Yu's family is hereditary, and Xiao Yu is now completely inheriting Xiao Zhantian's title, that is, the first-class lion king grand duke of the Tianshi Dynasty, and in the entire Tianshi Dynasty, there are few people with a higher title than him.
Wang Tianhu is only an earl, and there is still a marquis behind the duke, and the level is obviously much lower. Although Wang Tianhu is Xiao Yu's senior, in terms of title, he has to salute Xiao Yu first, and then Xiao Yu will salute his juniors.
Wang Tianhu didn't salute first, so Xiao Yu naturally didn't need to salute.
Therefore, whether it is Xiao Yu's non-salute as mentioned by Kunca at the beginning, or Xiao Yu bringing the guards into the house, these are all within the scope of the laws of the Tianshi Dynasty, and they are all on Xiao Yu's side.
And if Xiao Yu really impeaches Yun Cao, who owes CAO, then immediately those old guys who maintain the orthodoxy of the Tianshi Dynasty will come out to speak, even if Yun Cao will not be convicted, but punishment will definitely be inevitable.
Now, Xiao Yu's words woke everyone up, and everyone subconsciously stood up, including Wang Tianhu, including that Kunca, including the magician just now, and also this Yun Cao who was scolded by Xiao Yu. They all know how important this thing is.
Other dukes, even if they want to impeach them, may not have that much strength, but Xiao Yu is different, Xiao Yu's father, Xiao Zhantian, who saved the car back then.
Some ancient dukes, maybe the emperors of the Tianshi Dynasty can't remember them all, but Xiao Yu, the duke, the emperor definitely knows.
You can quietly kill Xiao Yu and destroy the corpse, there is no problem, just like Kalu, no one in the Tianshi Dynasty will definitely not be bored to check, now the Tianshi Dynasty no longer has the ability to take care of these, and the emperor himself is too busy to take care of himself. But if you are disrespectful to Xiao Yu, the grand duke of the empire, on the surface, that is a big crime, and many people can use the topic to play and come to you for trouble.
This is the character of this era.
"Oh, Xiao Xian's nephew blames his uncle for not going out of the city to greet you today, and his uncle is here to make amends for you. Uncle really didn't know that you were here, and Zimo didn't inform me, so I really deserved to be punished. When Wang Tianhu saw this stalemate, he immediately smiled and started a round.
Being able to be a lord for so many years, and governing the territory so prosperously, this kind of kung fu of seeing the wind and making the rudder, he is naturally extremely skilled.
This kind of thing can be big or small, and now it's best to turn big things into small things.
When Xiao Yu heard Wang Tianhu say this, he hurriedly waved his hand, squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "How dare my little nephew let Uncle Wang go out of the city to greet me, I just saw that some people were too uneducated and taught me a lesson." Uncle Wang, don't mind, the little nephew is not targeting you. β
In fact, Xiao Yu scolded in his heart: "You don't know? It's no wonder you don't fucking know, I didn't want to use the identity of this duke to suppress you, but you don't fucking greet you, I didn't even open the door when I came, and I dared to give my dear sister-in-law a horse, Nima, if Lao Tzu didn't suppress you, you would really treat yourself as a person. β
After a painful scolding, Xiao Yu's anger just now also went down a lot, and at this time he sat back swaggeringly, hooked his hand at the maid, and said, "Come to a bowl of tea, I was tired of scolding just now." β
When the maid saw that even the lord had stood up, she naturally didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly brought a cup of tea.
Xiao Yu took a sip of tea, saw that everyone was still standing, and hurriedly said, "Sit, why are you standing?" I'm a junior here, and I can't afford to be like you. β
A group of people scolded Xiao Yu in their hearts: "You can't afford it, you can't afford to scold it just now?" Looking at Xiao Yu like a hooligan, everyone secretly said in their hearts: "Sure enough, it's a gentleman, it's really a loser, and the legend is really true." β
After watching everyone sit down, Xiao Yu looked at Wang Tianhu with a smile and said, "Uncle Wang, there is still someone in my Xiao family standing outside, which is not good." Can you call her in for a cup of tea? β
Xiao Yu's words, Wang Tianhu was stunned, thinking that there is anyone else in the Xiao family, isn't it just you who are left? But then I saw Xiwen and immediately understood the meaning of Xiao Yu's words.
Wang Tianhu's heart suddenly tightened, knowing that this time he wanted to marry Xiwen again, I am afraid that it would be difficult.
Xiao Yu's sentence "There is someone in my Xiao family standing outside" is to tell Wang Tianhu that Xiwen is now a member of the Xiao family, not a member of your Wang family, so don't be as casual as you used to be your daughter.
Although Wang Tianhu's heart changed, he still had a smile on his face, and said, "Naturally, I haven't seen Xiwen for a long time." Xiwen, what are you still standing for? Don't come in yet, let your father take a good look at you. β
Xiao Yu looked at Wang Tianhu's smile, and scolded secretly in his heart: "A smiling tiger, if it wasn't for Lao Tzu who gave you some color just now, it would be strange if you could smile now, and you would still be there as if someone owed you a million." β
When Xiwen heard her father speak, she hurriedly came in, bowed heavily to Wang Tianhu, and said, "Xiwen is okay to see her father." β
Wang Tianhu nodded, glanced at Xiwen a few times, and said, "Well, Xiwen, you have lost weight, after you left, your mother has been thinking about you, you should go and see your mother first." β
Xiwen listened, saluted again, and said, "Yes, father, this time I came to visit my father and brought a little gift, and I hope that my father will smile and accept it." β
Hearing Xiwen's words, Wang Tianhu sighed casually and said, "Okay, it's rare that you have this filial piety." β
Xiwen then took a few steps forward and presented an extremely delicate gift box with both hands.
"The gift of my daughter's filial piety is really good, Earl Wang, you are blessed, I believe this is definitely not an ordinary gift, can you let me wait to open my eyes."
That Yun Cao was scolded by Xiao Yu just now, but he couldn't go back a word, and he was almost impeached, and he had already exploded quickly, when he saw Xiwen bringing a gift, he immediately found a place to tease Xiao Yu.
The decline of the Lion King Collar is now well known to everyone, what good things can Xiwen bring as a young lady in the Lion King Collar? Needless to say, there must be something of little value.
When he said this, he naturally wanted to taunt the lion king fiercely and hit Xiao Yu.
As long as it is not too disrespectful and insulting to Xiao Yu to the title, some ridicule and ridicule, this Tianshi Dynasty can't control it.
Wang Tianhu naturally understood what Yun Cao meant, and he was about to take the opportunity to show the decline of the Lion King Leader, Xiwen was not able to live a good life, and then paved the way for Xiwen to remarry, so he was naturally happy to cooperate with Yun Cao.
Immediately, Wang Tianhu pretended to be relieved and said, "Haha, yes, the old man has a good daughter." β
As he spoke, Wang Tianhu opened the gift box in public.
Everyone present also focused their eyes, wanting to see what Xiwen was taking, and they would taunt Xiao Yu fiercely for a while.
Because Xiao Yu scolded in a rage just now, even if Xiao Yu didn't scold, he had to stand up and salute, which made them naturally unhappy.
What's more, they were originally on the side of Cuenca and Yun Cao, but in fact, they were all on Wang Tianhu's side, so naturally they would not let go of this opportunity to fall into the well.
As Wang Tianhu opened the gift box, he saw a set of neatly arranged transparent wine glasses exposed inside the brocade box.
Seeing that it was just a set of wine glasses, everyone was stunned at first, and then they couldn't help but ridicule their faces. A dignified young lady in a territory, it is too shabby to bring this kind of thing when she goes home to save her relatives.
It is said that the lion king has declined, but I didn't expect it to come to such a point, alas, pity Xiao Zhantian I was mighty back then.
Yun Cao spoke first, he looked up to the sky and stretched out a waist, hit a haha, and said: "Okay, it's really a good daughter, I think about my father so much, this set of wine utensils is really superb, let my father drink a few more glasses when I'm fine, haha...... I didn't expect the lion king to be so big and take out such a valuable gift to let the young lady go home to save her relatives. β
"Well, sure enough, this set of wine utensils is at least worth dozens of gold coins, brought from the lion king from afar, and the travel expenses are also expensive, I don't know if it is worth the road expenses, if it can't be worthy, it is better to go to the Wang family's territory to buy a set on the street, and then give it to Earl Wang, which will save trouble." However, such a big and far-away tie from the lion king also reflects the filial piety of her daughter, and the goose feather gift is light. The Cuenca also said sarcastically.
"If you want me to say, the real value of this set of wine utensils lies in the brocade box that packages it, you can take a look at this brocade box, it is definitely a high-grade northern nanmu, this brocade box, it seems to be worth hundreds of gold coins." Another guy with a mustache seemed to be very serious.
"Actually, if you want me to say, this should be a special product of the Lion King Territory, there must be something special, otherwise, as Duke Xiao, how could he take out such a broken thing to let the young lady go home to save her relatives?" Another person also took the opportunity to ridicule.
All of a sudden, all the people present insisted on their own words, sarcastic about this set of drinking utensils, and ridiculed the shabby and broken lion king.
Xiao Yu watched them sneering and ridiculing there, but he didn't care, just sat quietly, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth. Xiwen wanted to open her mouth to explain something, but these people didn't give her a chance at all, and seeing that Xiao Yu didn't react, she didn't speak.
"Okay guys, although this set of wine utensils is not valuable, but it was brought by the little girl all the way, and it is also a heart. After all, now that the lion king is in a bit of a recession, I am very happy that the little girl can come back with some things to honor me. In the end, Wang Tianhu waved his hand and stopped everyone's discussion.
At this time, whether it was Wang Tianhu or the others present, there was a smug and relieved look on their faces, and at the same time, they also had deep disdain.
Xiao Yu listened to Wang Tianhu say that, as if he was speaking for himself, but in fact, he was obviously even more ridiculed of himself, and secretly scolded: "You old horseman, I know that you will be like this." β
Immediately, Xiao Yuluo stood up and said, "Uncle Wang is right, the lion king is in decline now, and he can't take out anything good, which really makes everyone laugh." Uncle Wang can not dislike it, and the little nephew is really grateful. The little nephew borrowed this set of wine utensils to toast Uncle Wang with a glass to express the little nephew's admiration. β
As he spoke, Xiao Yu flicked his fingers, and Grom immediately handed over a bottle of red wine.
Xiao Yu opened the red wine, picked up a glass, and then slowly poured it in, as the bright red wine flowed into the wine glass, the originally crystal clear wine glass suddenly changed a little.
At this moment, the red wine seems to have become something else, and it looks full of texture in the wine glass, as if it were a solid object in one piece.
Immediately, with a flash of red light, a strange picture suddenly flashed in the wine glass, in which countless fish swam around, as if in an ocean.
Xiao Yu shook the wine glass, and suddenly, a light and shadow were projected from the wine glass, reflecting on the wall, showing a black and red sea area, countless swimming fish swimming happily, occasionally jumping, splashing countless water droplets.
It's all so vivid, it's as if it's real.
Seeing this, everyone was already stunned, but that Yun Cao exclaimed a little out of shape at this time, and said, "A glass of light phantom wine glass? Could this be the legendary glass of light phantom wine glass? At that time, it is said that there were only 100 sets of works by Master Otto? There seem to be less than 20 sets left. β
Xiao Yu looked at this guy who owed CAO, pursed his lips, and said, "Cao Jun, it's really erudite, and he actually knows this wine glass." The lion king has declined, and he really can't take out anything good, and his sister-in-law said that Uncle Wang has good wine, so she reluctantly used it for Uncle Wang's drinking. A little bit of stuff is really shabby, I can't take it, and I hope Uncle Wang doesn't mind. Thousands of miles to send goose feathers is light, sister-in-law is a piece of heart, and I hope Uncle Wang can laugh at it, don't dislike the lightness of the courtesy. β
Just now, someone used a thousand miles to send goose feathers to satirize Xiao Yu, and now, Xiao Yu used this sentence again to slap everyone on the scene.
