Chapter 88: Silver and Blood
When the sun was shining in the west, a magnificent carriage drove into the summer snow gate of Xuanzhu County. The guards of the city, who were checking the entry and exit certificates, glanced at the thorn flower banner with a silver edge and a red background on the carriage, and immediately called for the civilians to give way, and the people who were queuing up immediately crowded to the sides to let the four-horse carriage calmly enter the inner city.
Heraldry is a very common identity ornament in Dongyang District, and there are hundreds of chambers of commerce in Xuanzhu County, large and small, and they always have to use a little conspicuous logo to show their identity. Simple direct use of surnames, vassal elegance with famous paintings, animal and plant patterns are also very popular choices.
But the only one who can use silver in the flag coat of arms is a member of the eighty-eight chambers of commerce of the Silver Blood Society; And if the background color is red, it is even more incredible, and the representative is a member of the 'Standing Council' composed of the top ten chambers of commerce of the Silver Blood Society.
But for ordinary people, it's the same, they can't afford to provoke the existence, and this is also the meaning of the existence of heraldry to say loudly, 'Do you know who I am', and then beat the other party violently, too low-level, too nouveau riche;
After all, no one likes to be angry.
Le Yu lifted the curtain, glanced at the wide moat, and thought that Xuanzhu County was indeed very wide. The gun is divided into three parts: the factory villages that live outside the moat, the outer castle between the moat and the inland sea, and the inner castle located on the Kinden Peninsula with the natural partition of the inland sea.
The moat is made of the seawater of the diversion canal, the outer city wall is high and deep, and there is the advantage of shipping, plus it takes care of each other with the Heyang army, and it is a very difficult fortified city to fight at a glance. However, it is the people who defend the city after all, Le Yu glanced at the soldiers who were guarding the city in military uniforms, and did not think that the combat effectiveness of these people was comparable to that of the Xingke County City Guard.
The city may be vulnerable to a strong army, but it is more than enough to suppress the rebellion. As long as the gates are closed, and the sea is on both sides, no one can enter or come out.
"Childe."
Mi Die approached the carriage and asked, "Do you want to go home, or go to Jingyuan?" ”
Le Yu didn't react for a while, and after searching his brain, he found that Jing Zhengwei had two families. One is Jing Garden, that is, the main residence where the Jing family lives, covering a vast area and operating for many years, with small buildings and pavilions contrasting with each other, belonging to the kind of buildings that can be sealed as historical material heritage after hundreds of years.
The other is Jing Zhengwei's outer house, which is also his real home - since his mother's death, he rarely returns to Jing Garden, except for festivals, he stays in the mansion in the outer city, no worse than Jing Yuan in terms of enjoyment, but there are no taboos in terms of freedom.
However, this freedom comes at a great cost, because the power of the Jing family is all in the hands of the head of the Jing family, that is, Jing Zhengwei's father. When Jing Zhengwei stayed away from Jing Yuan, his younger brothers would naturally get more attention from the head of the family, and Jing Zhengwei's status as the 'first heir' would be shaky.
Just like the prince who wants to be the emperor will stay in the capital, and only the hopeless prince will be sent out to be an idle prince. However, Jing Zhengwei thinks that after his mother's death, his father no longer values him, and instead of staying in Jingyuan to be controlled everywhere and sit still, it is better to come out and find an opportunity to build a career.
Even if the Jing family only gave Jing Zhengwei Red Moon Fortress and other 'small resources', Jing Zhengwei is the first heir of the Jing family on the bright side after all, and he can use the Jing family's connections at will, which is his real precious resource.
After years of stealing and plundering—yes, that's how they do business—Jing Zhengwei has also earned a fortune, and even if it can't be compared to his younger brothers with the help of his mother's family, he still has a chance to take over the head of the Jing family.
Thinking about this, Leyu said, "Go home." ”
Le Yu didn't bother to think about Jing Zhengwei's plan at all, he chose not to return to Jing Garden, there was only one reason why he was not interested in meeting Jing Zhengwei's family, and he did not have the habit of calling other people's fathers.
If you die once and change a batch of parents, what is Leyu? Three surnames are domestic slaves? It's just a matter of recognizing a younger brother and a sister and recognizing a wife, but it is absolutely impossible to recognize a father and mother.
After the head of the Jing family died, it was possible for him to go to Jing Garden to have a look.
It was getting darker, but the streets were more lively. Xuanzhu County is the same as Xingke County, and other public facilities may be discounted, but the street lighting is definitely overwhelming, providing ample conditions for the night market.
When passing by Damen Stone Street, Le Yu almost thought that he had returned to the small county town in his previous life. The wide street is lined with shops, backlit signs are hung high and eye-catching, there are a variety of shops, and the street vendors are shouting and selling everywhere, some pushing carts, some carrying shelves, and even some people put their goods directly in their pockets, and when they meet people, they will open their clothes and ask "Do you want to?" Do you want? Full of exhibitionism and mysticism, Le Yu wanted to see if he was spreading pornographic publications.
In addition, there are many open-air storytelling venues and theaters, after all, from ancient times to the present, there are more people listening to books than reading books. Le Yu saw a storyteller hanging on a storyteller with 'The Legend of the Fire God Volume 2 Chapter 88 The Beauty is Poisonous and Difficult to Solve Itself, and the Fire God Wonderful Hands Happy Night', and when he saw it, Le Yu immediately decided to wait and buy a set of the Legend of the Fire God to take a look.
Hey, the popularity of these years is that the review system is not up to par, and the blood can still be colored, and the music language should be criticized.
And at this time, Leyu suddenly saw a battle arena!
Two duelists played cards on it, and the narrator explained it on the side, and when one of the duelists was defeated, the narrator exclaimed, "What a pity!" 'Wolf Eagle Stream 91 Layman' defeated 'Sword Flowing Eastward', announcing the end of the ninety-one Jushi's three-game winning streak of qualifying matches. This is the third time that the Jiuyi Layman has hit the realm of the 'Generation of Legends', and I hope he can make a comeback with a new fanfare......"
"The next game is 'Ling Xuan Liuyue Banzi' against 'Mr. Ai Qi Liukou'. Yuebanzi, I am optimistic that you can win this game, I will secretly support you, don't tell others. ”
There is actually a battle card event here? There's even a split ranking?
Le Yu only heard that there were battle card competitions in Yanjing, but he didn't expect that even Xuanzhu County would have them.
It's a real hammer, Xingke County turned out to be an eighteenth-tier city, and there was nothing.
Before Leyu could see more, the carriage had already arrived home.
"Welcome Childe home."
The middle-aged housekeeper dressed in Sven led a group of servants to greet Le Yu at the door, this housekeeper Shen Hong is an old man who has followed Jing Zhengwei for many years, and he can be regarded as Jing Zhengwei's confidant. Seeing Le Yu, Shen Hong took off his hat and showed a polite and happy smile, "Dinner and bathroom are ready, does Childe want to take a bath and wash the dust first, or eat first?" ”
"Let's take a shower first."
Although Le Yu didn't feel tired all the way, after all, the carriage was driving very steadily, and the road was very smooth, Le Yu had been lying on Qinglan's lap, and he arrived at Xuanzhu County in the blink of an eye, but taking a bath first and then eating always felt full of ritual, and even the food would be more fragrant.
Without even searching her memory, the maid led Le Yu to the bathroom. It's not a simple tub, but a stone pool bathroom that looks like a plunge pool. When Le Yu was about to take off his clothes, he found that the two young and beautiful maids had not left, and took off their clothes for him diligently.
Wouldn't it, Jing Zhengwei didn't even let himself take a bath?
Le Yu recalled, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief, letting them serve themselves. Fortunately, it's just ordinary service and massage, Jing Zhengwei is not so perverted that he even has to take a bath.
But even so, Le Yu felt very awkward, and said, "Forget it, I want to be alone today, you guys go out first." ”
The two maids were shocked and knelt down and said, "Childe, did we do something wrong?" ”
Le Yu hurriedly explained, "No, I just wanted to take a bath alone on a whim." ”
"But Childe is tired of living all over the world, and his body must be very tired, right? If you don't relax well, it will affect your night's sleep. The maid with a single ponytail said pitifully, "And if we go out like this, Manager Shen will definitely think that we have made the son angry and will punish us." ”
"Uh-huh, uh-huh." The other round-faced girl was a little shy, and nodded again and again, "Childe, please let us wait for you." ”
Le Yu thought about it, these two maids were indeed specially responsible for waiting for Jing Zhengwei to bathe, and suddenly driving them away would really have a bad impact on them. And if you rush it today, you will rush it tomorrow, which is equivalent to firing them squid.
In order to take care of their jobs, Leyu had to reluctantly (half) (push) his (half) difficulty (on) to accept their waiting.
Leyu lay in the bath, enjoying the shoulder massage of the two young girls, and couldn't help but sigh
Alas, the life of the capitalists is so rotten.
"Childe seems to be in a good mood today, did you encounter something good?"
"You know I'm in a good mood?"
"Because Childe, you feel very elegant and easy-going today, and you take good care of us, usually Childe won't talk to us."
Le Yu recalled it and found that Jing Zhengwei was usually just a relatively ordinary son-in-law, and he rarely lost his temper with the servants, and of course he would not have a good face with the servants. He will not be angry with others because of the pain caused by Qinri's war methods, because he himself knows that once he angers others, then sooner or later he will kill everyone in his house.
Perhaps in the eyes of the people of Jing Mansion, Jing Zhengwei is even a good host.
"You...... What is your name? ”
"Childe and noble people forget a lot of things, and it's normal to forget the names of the two of us." There was a sour taste in the tone of the beautiful maid with a single ponytail, "I am Zilan, she is Frost Leaf, we are four years away, and we are all the grace of the child." ”
"Are you on good terms?"
"We went into the house together, almost every day, like sisters." Zilan grinned.
Le Yu nodded, thinking that he would find Manager Shen to change their positions tomorrow. Although it was quite comfortable, he still wanted to take a bath alone, and it felt too strange to have someone next to him in the bath.
And there will be a Qinglan massage before going to bed, it is enough to have that, and the body is almost soft twice a day.
After taking a bath, Le Yu held back the shyness in her heart, changed her clothes under the service of the maid, and went to the dining room to eat.
As soon as he entered, Leyu thought that this was a meal for the whole house - the round table was full of dishes. However, there was only one chair in front of the round table, and Le Yu had to sigh again about the rotten life of the feudal capitalists.
However, when Leyu began to taste, he found that the amount of dishes was not very large, and it was only because there were many varieties and dishes that Leyu felt that he couldn't eat it.
While eating, Le Yu suddenly felt that the surroundings were very quiet, and the servants were all watching him quietly, making Le Yu feel as if he was in a horror movie.
Why does Jing Zhengwei like to have someone next to him when he is eating? Is his ideal place to eat in a university cafeteria?
"Where's Qinglan? Did she eat? ”
Manager Shen replied, "When the son finishes eating, Miss Qinglan will eat in the side hall." ”
Le Yu understood, class etiquette, "Call her to come and eat with me, I have something I want to ask her." ”
Qing Lan will soon appear in the dining room, and it seems that she has also changed into a set of clothes. She sat down dignified and elegant, picked up her rice bowl and took a small sip.
Leyu asked, "Qinglan, do you know how much fun there is in Xuanzhu County?" ”
Le Yu is not interested in searching for 'interesting fun' in Jing Zhengwei's memory, he eats and doesn't want to vomit.
Qinglan chewed the food in her mouth, thought for a moment and said, "There are a lot, the most famous is the non-return building, the gambler's gold hole, there is any way to play, as a son, you can even go to the fifth floor to play the most exciting game; Hunting ground, hunting with knives and boots, many people like to play; Xiang Xuehai and Jin Panlu, Childe, you are very familiar with you, so I won't introduce you......"
"Wait, I don't mean the fun." Leyu interrupted, "I mean something similar to the more popular things like battle cards. ”
Although she didn't know why Gongzi was asking this, Qinglan still told the truth what she knew, so that Leyu could see the other side of Xuanzhu County, a city with an extremely developed entertainment industry. In addition to the storytelling battle cards seen in Leyu, Xuanzhu County also has theaters, snack streets, dance halls and many other fun that ordinary people can enjoy.
The light drama staged in the theater is a drama with special effects created with the help of special light explosions, which looks not even inferior to blockbuster movies to the naked eye; Because of the sea trade, the Xuanzhu Snack Street can be said to gather snacks from all over the world, and there are even many famous chefs from all over the world who have set up shops here; is different from the monopoly operation of Xingke County, in addition to the big song and dance hall here, there are many small dance halls that ordinary people can go to for free to enjoy simple and simple singing and dancing, and this kind of small song and dance hall will also appear from time to time Famous songs and minor tunes will be sung on the streets and alleys, and even Qinglan will hum a few pop songs.
After the meal, Le Yu waved away the others, and one alone checked Jing Zhengwei's 'legacy' in the study. I don't know if it's the wisdom bonus of Qinri's tactics, all the industries that have been taken by Jing Zhengwei will become more and more prosperous under his management, and Jing Zhengwei's assets have swelled year by year, even comparable to the end of the Eighty-Eight Chamber of Commerce - you know, this is just Jing Zhengwei's assets!
Rich, idle, healthy, dignified, sleeping until you wake up naturally, counting money until your hands cramp......
Le Yu suddenly found that he seemed to have died a good death this time - if nothing else, he could lie on Jing Zhengwei's inheritance and enjoy life.
Although it is said that there is no world in this world and no Internet, but there is still a lot of entertainment to be found with money, not to mention that Leyu himself is full of knowledge of the earth's entertainment, he is a copyist, and it is not impossible to reproduce the earth's classic entertainment projects here, and he will even make a lot of money.
The only problem is the competition for the head of the Jing family, but Jing Zhengwei has made a full set of plans, whether it is to compete for the head of the family or to protect himself, Leyu can just follow the trend. No matter how bad it is, he also has his own industry, and it is not a problem to be a rich man.
In the past month, Leyu has been fighting and killing, but how can normal people live such a life, that is, people like Qianyuliu and Yin Yinyin can get used to it and even enjoy it, Leyu is just ordinary people, not with them.
Settle down here, be an ordinary rich person and enjoy life, and hold on to the little happiness in your hands......
This kind of life doesn't seem bad......
The clock on the desk rang, and Le Yu realized that she was actually thinking until 11 o'clock. Hey, I'm too tired from work, Qinglan should have warmed up the bed now and gone back to sleep~
Le Yu left the study, and on the way to the bedroom, he suddenly heard a man's scolding from the courtyard next to him.
“…… Childe gave you food and cooked for you, did you repay Childe like this? What about Rong Yao? Say, where did he flee!? ”
"Chief, it must be Rong Yao who deceived Frost Leaf, please, please let Frost Leaf go-"
"Leave her alone? Then don't you all learn from the two of them to elope, and if you succeed, you will live your own life, and if you fail, the government will forgive you? Do you think there is such a good thing? ”
"Boss, wait, Frost Leaf, tell me where Rong Yao is waiting for you!"
When Le Yu walked into the courtyard, he happened to see Zilan being slapped away by Manager Shen, several guards and maids surrounded by her, and the round-faced girl Shuangye knelt on the ground with her hands tied behind her back, covered with scars.
Just based on the dialogue, the music and the language were almost made up, and a lunge ran over and shouted, "Steward Shen, you wait—"
said that it was too late, and then quickly, Chief Manager Shen suddenly pulled out the guard's long sword, and swung down with a sword-
“…… Wait. ”
Le Yu stopped and looked at the man who had been talking to him shyly a few hours ago, his head fluttering in the air, gurgling and rolling aside, blood spilling like rain and soaking in dirt.
He suddenly remembered what Yin Minghong had said to him-
Every piece of land in Dongyang flows with silver and blood.
