Chapter 44: The Gift
Things were as Qin Feng expected.
When Zhu Yuntai went to see Zhao Yuanjin, when he came back, he told him that everything was going well. This festival envoy was generous, and immediately promised Qin Feng the authority to recruit and form a capital by himself, and also gave 100,000 taels of silver and 100 war horses, and gave a lot of grain, grass and ordnance.
The military system of the Great Qi Imperial Court is 1,500 soldiers and horses, and they all command generals equivalent to the sixth grade, which can barely be called a senior general, after all, the total number of soldiers in the third rank is only 12,000 people.
It is not that there are no higher-level generals, but they no longer directly control the military power. Unless there is a large-scale war, you can be ordered by the emperor to lead the army, and the authority will be withdrawn immediately after the war is over, so as to prevent the generals from supporting their own troops and threatening the stability of the imperial power.
Of course, this was only the law of the founding period of the Great Qi, and by the end of the dynasty more than two hundred years later, the law had collapsed, and many rules had become unrecognizable.
"Congratulations to the lower officials,"
The messenger sent to read the order handed him the tiger talisman, the seal letter, and the paperwork, and said with a smile on his face: "The master also asked the lower officials to tell him that a family banquet will be set up in the mansion tomorrow night, and the adults will be invited to the banquet, but don't delay." ”
Qin Feng smiled gently: "The handsome man has an order, and the ministers should obey it." ”
After speaking, he took out a hundred taels of silver ticket and stuffed it into the messenger's hand, and the other party was not humble, and took it and happily said goodbye.
Looking at the appointment document in his hand, Qin Feng shook his head a little self-deprecatingly, Zhao Yuanjin and his own relationship of equal cooperation were actually divided into primary and secondary monarchs and ministers, at least on the surface. It's like the relationship between those hidden sects and the princes and the imperial court.
This cultural tradition is similar to the ancient Chinese world, and it is still the mainstream values of "the whole world, the land of the king, the shore of the land, and the prince's minister". Unless it's overseas where the power of the imperial court can't reach it.
Of course, Qin Feng's main goal is to collect and resell resources in this world, and he doesn't care much about this kind of reputation, if Zhao Yuan is interested, he doesn't mind giving the other party a face.
Seeing that the sky was gradually darkening, Zhang Qiuyun came in and asked, "Son, dinner has been prepared." ”
Qin Feng agreed, took her hand and walked out of the study.
Under the bright lamps and candles, delicate plates and dishes are laid out on the table one after another, such as crispy bone grilled chicken, steamed river fish, white fungus lotus seed soup, palace fried fish maw, roast suckling pig...... Plus more than a dozen seasonal side dishes, and the table was full.
Qin Feng didn't like extravagance and waste, but after two genetic optimizations in his body, his appetite became surprisingly good, so the amount of food was much larger, and the consumption of each meal was far better than that of ordinary people, so there was no pressure to solve such a large table of dishes.
"Sit down and use it together," he said when he saw Zhang Qiuyun standing beside him.
According to the rules of a large family, slaves and maids are not allowed to eat at the same table with their masters, but Qin Feng is not so particular, not to mention that he does not treat this girl as a maid at all.
Zhang Qiuyun agreed and sat down opposite him.
She has been well-educated since she was a child, and her dining movements are gentle and soothing, elegant and subtle, and her every move shows her ladylike demeanor. And Qin Feng's demeanor is a little violent, three times five divided by two can kill a big bowl of rice.
After a few times, he finally noticed the smile in the eyes of the girl opposite, coughed slightly embarrassed, and slowed down his movements slightly.
Zhang Qiuyun's meal was limited, so she stopped eating after only one bowl, and quietly watched Qin Feng continue to eat, and her pretty face somehow blushed slightly.
"Childe's appearance...... It's getting better and better. She whispered.
Qin Feng was stunned for a moment, and had the heart to explain that this was the effect of genetic optimization, but she couldn't understand it when she thought about it, so she had to give up regretfully.
"You've been here for months, and you haven't been home to visit your parents, have you? Would you like to go back and check it out? He asked.
"Uh...... Then thank you Childe. Zhang Qiuyun was slightly stunned, and then couldn't help but be overjoyed.
Go home to visit relatives, this is the right that only the famous wife has, ordinary concubines and slaves, if you want to go back, you have to go back with the permission of the master or the main wife.
Although Zhang Qiuyun is now valued by Qin Feng and let her manage all the affairs in the inner house, after all, she has no status as a wife, and can only be regarded as a concubine and maid, so she can't go home at will.
"I'll give you three hundred taels of silver later, buy some good gifts, and you can go back at any time when you're homesick in the future, no need to ask for instructions." Qin Feng said.
Zhang Qiuyun meekly agreed, her dark eyes were slightly covered with a heavy mist, but she was a little uneasy and hesitant.
It is undeniable that since she came to wait for this son, Qin Feng has treated her very well, and the various treatments are no different from those of a wife, except that she has no reputation. And she also understands her responsibilities and obligations, grateful and happy, but also a little lost and melancholy.
This son with a mysterious origin has a powerful way to the sky, and has an irreplaceable role in the foundation of the handsome, so his position as a wife is definitely not his turn. There have been rumors outside that Dashuai intends to marry his daughter to him, and when Dashuai becomes king in the future, the son will naturally be a concubine, and his status is extremely respectful, and I don't know if he can have his current status at that time.
Just as she was thinking about it, Qin Feng on the opposite side knocked on the table, causing her to wake up suddenly, and she quickly got up to confess.
"Don't think about it, go out for a walk with me." Qin Feng had finished eating at the moment, pushed away the seat and walked out.
Zhang Qiuyun blushed and agreed, and followed after a few steps.
Qin Feng smiled secretly in his heart, this girl seems to be particularly prone to blushing, perhaps it is due to the general atmosphere of this era, young women's personalities are mostly introverted and reserved, and that kind of outgoing and generous woman is relatively rare.
After taking a turn in the back garden, Qin Feng took her directly into the inner room and asked, "Have you been wearing that gold silk soft armor?" ”
"Well, yes, but it's a little uncomfortable." Zhang Qiuyun whispered.
"Okay, don't wear it anymore from today, I've got you a better one."
Qin Feng wrung out a box from the dimensional space, and after opening it, inside was a delicate black women's flexible stab-proof suit.
"Here, let's try it out."
Qin Feng said with a smile, this thing is different from the ordinary ones he took out before, but the high-end goods that he took a lot of effort to get, specially prepared for this girl.
Zhang Qiuyun's body trembled slightly, her beautiful eyes sparkled, and then she turned around silently, put her slender hand on her waist and slowly untied the ribbon, and gently removed her coat.
It was the first time for her to change her clothes in front of a man, but thinking of her relationship with Qin Feng, sooner or later there would be such a day, so she was relieved.
Take off the gold silk soft armor, under the snow-white middle coat underwear, the proud round peaks and mountains are uplifted, outlining the ups and downs, touching and wonderful curves.
I can't see that this girl's face is pure and childish, but her figure is quite plump and attractive, with concave and convex curves, her skin is brighter than snow, and her jade legs are slender, which is exactly the type that Qin Feng likes.
As for the kind of petite and slender beauty, she looks pretty good when she wears clothes, but when she takes off her clothes, she feels all bones, no different from a reed stick, and she doesn't feel it at all.
"It should be C...... Or is it a D cup? He muttered.
“???”
Zhang Qiuyun looked at him in surprise, her big clear eyes were full of doubts: "What did Childe say?" Can't the slave or maid understand? ”
"Ahem...... It's okay if you don't understand, you'll understand it in the future. ”
Qin Feng took out a delicate and unusual golden silk nanmu retro dressing box from the dimensional space, handed it to her, and said, "This is a gift for you, open it and take a look." ”
Zhang Qiuyun glanced at him shyly and took the dressing box.
The workmanship of the dressing box is very fine, the smell is fragrant, deep and quaint, with exquisite brass corner accessories, which are inlaid with bright mirrors, divided into two layers, she can't put it down.
"Childe, wouldn't this be too precious?" She said softly.
"It's okay, if you like it." Qin Feng said disapprerovingly.
In fact, everything else is fine, this dressing box for her, the most precious and rare part is the mirror, which can shine a fine light, which is much stronger than the bronze mirror of this era.
"Well, do you want to bring her a few sets of boutique underwear next time? And stockings? With such a good figure, it must be very good to wear, right? He thought to himself.
