Chapter 132: Lao Tzu is rich
Jade Qiongxuan.
Boxes containing various colors of silk skirts, boxes containing fine rouge gouache, boxes containing expensive gold and silver jewelry, and boxes containing soft silk embroidered shoes are piled up as high as a mountain, and they are placed in the center of the flower hall, making people dazzled.
The moment Si Xuerou and Si Xueyan walked in, the apprehension and restraint in their hearts disappeared.
So many good things, so many things that I had only seen and dreamed of in pictures before, piled up in front of them, Si Xuerou and Si Xueyan's eyes were golden, and they couldn't hide their excitement, they were so excited that they almost jumped up, their eyes were full of greed and desire.
"Big sister, really? Is this all for me? Si Xueyan hugged the soft silk skirt, looked at the morning light happily, and asked in a tone of disbelief.
Chenguang rubbed the big cat's head, nodded at her with a smile, glanced at Si Xueyan and Si Xuerou, who was standing in front of the clothes box and hung her head without saying a word, and said:
"Feng Mingguo can't raise silkworms, there is no such good material, there is no way when it is in the country, since it has come out, it is natural to dress up well and be beautiful. These dresses are all modified on the basis of the skirts of the Phoenix Netherworld, wear them and dress them up, don't forget, you are the princess of the Phoenix Netherworld. ”
"Yes! Big Sister Xie! Si Xueyan forgot her fear of the morning light, turned around excitedly, and chose the most lovely dress.
Compared with her excitement, Si Xuerou's mood was much calmer, more gloomy than calm.
Si Xuerou hated Chenguang to the core.
Not long after Princess Chenguang went to make peace with her, King Lian started a bloody purge in the country, in the purge list, her mother's maiden family was impressively listed, her father was seriously ill and was placed under house arrest by King Lian, no matter how she and her mother begged King Lian, King Lian ignored it, they could only watch their grandfather's family die tragically under King Lian's butcher's knife.
When King Lian summoned her and Si Xueyan and began to train them intensively, Si Xuerou knew that there was a Chenguang behind King Lian, and Chenguang was the behind-the-scenes manipulator of the Feng Ming Kingdom.
Si Xuerou was shocked at the same time, and she was even more disgusted with Chenguang, this disgust did not come entirely from the hatred of her grandfather's family being destroyed, but, you were the lowly person I looked down on the most, and suddenly one day, I knew that this lowly person was actually the controller of my fate, why? Why are you?
"Second sister, don't you like what I prepared for you?" Chenguang asked with a smile.
Si Xuerou's expression stiffened slightly, raised her head, smiled wryly, and said, "No, my sister likes it very much." ”
Chenguang smiled slightly.
"I have already agreed with His Royal Highness King Rong, before the end of the Seven Kingdoms, you will live in King Rong's mansion, it is more convenient to live here than to live in a post house, and sisters can also be close to each other."
Si Xueyan smiled and nodded, still intoxicated by the dazzling clothes in front of her.
The morning light did not miss the fleeting glint in Si Xuerou's eyes when his words fell.
……
The second of the Seven Kingdoms to arrive in Qi'an was the Yanyun Kingdom.
The treatment is completely different.
Yan Yunguo was in charge of receiving Shen Yan, and he led hundreds of civil and military officials to wait outside the city gate early in the morning.
The people of the city were also very excited, and the officers and soldiers came forward to maintain order, and before noon, the main street in the city was crowded by the crowd of onlookers, and those who did not know thought that the imperial court was going to issue silver, and everyone came out to receive the silver.
Speaking of Yanyun Country, it is a country that is doubly appreciated by those who appreciate it, and very disgusted by those who are disgusted. In the eyes of those who admire, the country is full of talents, and in the eyes of those who are disgusted, the country is full of "rats".
The Yanyun Kingdom is a country based purely on business, and almost all the people in the country are merchants, and even the emperor of the Yanyun Kingdom operates a lot of wealth on the mainland.
The Yanyun Kingdom has a small population and a small land, but they are the most business-minded. Their agriculture, industry, and other industries that require labor are not done by their own people, but they buy slaves from other countries, or hire long-term workers from other countries, and the people of Yanyun only do business.
The people of Yanyun are free by nature, uninhibited, shuttling between the seven countries, like rats with a keen sense of smell, looking for business opportunities everywhere, and encompassing a lot of wealth in the mainland. No matter which country it is, there are always a few Yanyun people among the rich merchants, which makes the local businessmen very dissatisfied. But unless the imperial court forcibly intervenes, the merchants of other countries will never be able to do the business of the merchants of the Yanyun Kingdom.
From the perspective of comprehensive financial resources, it is not an exaggeration to say that Yanyun is the richest country among the seven countries.
However, Yanyun Country also has shortcomings, due to the relationship of business, the people of Yanyun Country are too scattered, and the hearts of Yanyun people are also very scattered, they have no sense of country, compared to the situation of Yanyun Country, they are more concerned about whether they can make more money. Because of the lack of cohesion, even though the Yanyun Kingdom is very rich, its status among the Seven Kingdoms still hovers at the level of second-rate countries.
But no matter what, the Yanyun Kingdom is definitely a maverick existence among the Seven Kingdoms.
The enthusiasm of the people who greeted the delegation of Yanyun Kingdom was high, not only because they were curious about this rich country, but almost all the girls came for the leader of Yanyun Kingdom.
Leading the Yanyun Kingdom delegation to the meeting was Ouyang Ji, the youngest prime minister of Yanyun Kingdom and the head of the Ouyang family, the richest man in Yanyun Kingdom.
Ouyang Ji, nicknamed Chang Xi's son, was airborne second on last year's list of beautiful men from the Seven Kingdoms, second only to His Royal Highness King Rong of Long Xi Kingdom. There are two girls who have seen it fairly, and the two of them are equally good-looking, and there are those who originally liked King Rong but turned against Chang Xi Gongzi after seeing Chang Xi Gongzi and threw himself into his arms, of course, some people secretly said that Chang Xi Gongzi is actually better looking than Rong Wang.
In short, Chang Xi Gongzi is also a rare beautiful man.
The young and weak crown is the son-in-law of the Ouyang family, his mother is the lord of Shuiyue County of Yanyun Country, Chang Xi's son was sent to Guanning Mountain to practice at the age of nine, and he just returned to the Ouyang family two years ago to take over the Ouyang clan whose father died suddenly and had no leader. Last year, he was appreciated by the emperor of Yanyun Kingdom, entered the dynasty and became the youngest prime minister of Yanyun Kingdom.
Chenguang sat in the private room of Heyi Lou, supported his cheeks with one hand, looking at the girls downstairs who were in groups of three or five, pulling together, panting with excitement, and jumping up from time to time to stretch their necks in the direction of the city gate.
People really love beauty.
Shouts began to be heard from afar.
Knowing that someone was coming, Chenguang adjusted his veil and poked his head out of the window, watching with great interest.
The first thing I saw was a golden carriage, a tall and spacious carriage, using the most expensive golden silk nanmu, which was not enough, and actually pasted a layer of gold on the outside of the golden silk nanmu. More than 400 pieces of gold leaf were used on the carriage, and the body was carved with the orchid, the national flower of the Yanyun Kingdom, and the white tiger, the symbol of the Yanyun Kingdom.
The carriage was pulled by six Dawan horses, each of which was priceless, and it was used to pull the cart, which was simply a terrible thing.
That's not all, eight charming women in aqua green Shu brocade dresses led the way in front, throwing orchids with their bare hands, and scattered them on the ground leisurely. The back of the carriage is even more incredible, the same costume, a charming beauty of the water followed behind the car, the shy flowers closed the moon, the wind and fragrance were scattered, and there were at least fifty heads.
I heard that Chang Xi's son loves to be romantic and uninhibited, and there are hundreds of concubines who serve alone, which is comparable to the harem of an emperor of a country.
The people of Ji'an were dumbfounded.
At the end of the team is the army of Yanyun Kingdom, which is actually pure gold armor, and it is difficult to wear such armor on the body.
The Yanyun State Mission, from beginning to end, from top to bottom, is summed up in the sentence "Lao Tzu is rich".
