Chapter 961: Famine, Natural Disasters 118
Walking out of the Zhou Mansion, Mingyi was followed by Dark One and Dark Five, and the two of them were holding many things in their hands; In addition to the jewelry of the two boxes given by Princess Zhou at the beginning, there are also gold and silver jewelry prepared for her by Zhou Ting.
That's a lot, and a ten-foot-tall dresser can't fit it.
If you don't want it, as long as she dares to say something she doesn't want, Zhou Ting can immediately show her the loss.
Boarding the carriage, Zhou Ting stared at her and smiled, "Mingyi, isn't the concubine very good?" ”
"It's good, it's gentle." Mingyi nodded, "I have never seen someone as gentle as your mother. ”
Zhou Ting chuckled, stretched out his claws to hold her hand, moved over and sat side by side, "That's just that the concubine likes you, if you don't like someone, the concubine doesn't have a good face." ”
Mingyi pursed her lips and hummed softly, "That's how it should be, gentle and kind with a little edge, otherwise it's not gentleness, it's weakness." ”
"It makes sense." Clenching the small hand in the palm of his hand, Zhou Ting's heart was warm, and he couldn't help but soften his heart, "There are two concubines in the palace, and there are more than a dozen concubines; But no one dared to plunder the edge of the mother's concubine. ”
Mingyi rubbed his chin, his thoughts already drifting away.
I don't know what Princess Zhou's attitude is towards King Zhou, if you can, wouldn't it be beautiful to let King Zhou retire as soon as possible?
A large number of children means that there are many people who choose the right to succeed.
"Mingyi, what are you thinking?"
Mingyi came back to her senses, looked up and saw Zhou Ting staring at her curiously, shaking her head and smiling: "Chaosheng, I'm thinking about how to settle down after I go to the northwest." ”
"I'm here." Zhou Ting pinched the little black hand and said confidently: "The northwest is a border pass, the people are fierce, and everyone is united in defending against foreign enemies; Foreigners are in front, and the military and civilians in the northwest get along harmoniously, and you can settle down wherever you want after you arrive. ”
Preferably in the Northwest Province.
The princess was built in Fucheng, which has a good geographical location, with soldiers and more than a dozen county seats, which is relatively stable.
Mingyi pricked up her ears and listened carefully.
Seeing that she listened carefully, Zhou Ting continued to say some interesting things in the northwest, picking out deeds in the military camp and trivial things among the people.
Mingyi nodded with relish, it was really a place and a custom.
I have traveled through the ancient world before, and I have seen the prosperity of Kyoto, and there are rules everywhere; I have also seen ordinary people running around for survival, but I have never seen the northwest where the people are strong.
"In the hearts of the elders in the northwest, if a woman is strong in martial arts, she can join the army; The mother concubine holds the military power of the northwest women's battalion, and there are thousands of people in the women's battalion, all of whom are brave and good at fighting, and they are not worse than men. ”
"They only obey the orders of the mother, and in wartime, the mother's confidant generals will lead the troops to the battle; Therefore, most men and women in the northwest are equal, and women can get the greatest right to survive in the northwest, although it is only useful in the northwest, but the women in the northwest are still very grateful to the palace. ”
Zhou Ting said in detail, and Mingyi would ask when she heard the doubts, "Then, where did the women's camp come from?" ”
There's a provenance, right?
"The women's battalion was initially formed by grandmothers to relieve pressure on grandfathers; First, they can guard the palace, and the original male guards in the palace can follow their grandfather on the expedition; the second is to give the women in the northwest a way out, so that they don't have to live a lifetime with only men; The third is. My grandmother once told me that she would prefer to have soldiers in the entire northwest, so that every family could fight when there was an invasion from abroad. ”
"Chaosheng, your grandmother has great wisdom." In the Northwest, where survival is difficult, it is the best state for all people to be soldiers, but not everyone is willing to be all soldiers.
She said solemnly, and Zhou Ting smiled lightly, "Grandfather also said the same, grandmother is a rare heroine." ”
"Your grandfather really had the vision to marry your grandmother." Curious about the northwest, I don't know what kind of place can give birth to unworldly women such as Zhou Ting's grandmother.
Zhou Ting's smile became more and more obvious.
"My grandfather never took a concubine in his life for the sake of his grandmother."
Mingyi's eyes were bright, like starlight, "That's a rare man, who can share weal and woe with his wife, and be a couple for a lifetime; Your grandmother worked willingly for each other in order to be able to work hard. Just like my father, my father likes my mother, even if my mother is not the best girl who appears next to him. ”
"My mother can also work hard for my father, be filial to her parents, and raise her children; No matter how hard it is, they will go on together, and when there is not enough food to eat when they escape from the famine, they will let each other eat a little more, even if it is a bite. ”
What she saw in her eyes was admiration, but there was no yearning.
Zhou Ting observed her subtle changes, she was admiring, but she did not yearn for it; Is it because you haven't opened your mind?
It's just right to not get the hang of it.
The corners of Zhou Ting's lips hooked slightly, and a smile appeared in his eyes, "Mingyi wants to find a husband like your father in the future?" ”
I'm still young, I don't know what to look for, I'll see it when I grow up."
"Okay." Zhou Ting responded to the situation.
If you grow up and look at it, why can't it be him; With his status and status, he looks good and powerful, and is so good to her that he is intimate and intimate to her, he doesn't believe that Mingyi can look down on others.
Zhou Ting made up his mind, and he was bound to win.
"Master, it's time for your house." Dark One lowered his head and whispered by the carriage window.
Zhou Ting led Mingyi out of the carriage, stepped off the low stool, and sent her into the house together.
Dark One, Dark Five, and a few guards who accompanied them helped to carry things; Zhou Ting and Mingyi walked in front, and Steward Lin was late and hurriedly saluted.
"Shizi Ye'an, Cheng Niang'an."
Steward Lin knelt down to salute, and the housekeeper who came with him knelt down with him.
Having seen many worlds, Mingyi is accustomed to following the customs of the locals and accepting them calmly.
"Up." Zhou Ting bypassed them and walked towards the hall where they entered the courtyard.
As soon as he entered, the people of the Cheng clan knew that the prince of Zhou was coming; Anfen's Anfen guarded himself, ran to watch curiously, and didn't see a few glances along the way, this prince would not get off the carriage unless necessary.
There are those who have delusions, such as Cheng Mingyue and others, who actually avoided the elders in the family when they got the news, and swaggered to the front hall.
Before Mingyi's ass was hot, Cheng Mingyue suddenly broke in, and the front hall fell into silence.
Dark One and Dark Five looked at Cheng Mingyue coldly, and two of the four guards who came with him were holding things; The guard, who had nothing in his hand, stepped forward to block Cheng Mingyue's way towards the prince.
"This little lady, this is not the place for you to be."
The guards were tall, and in the face of the two guards, Cheng Mingyue subconsciously shrank; It wasn't until she finished shrinking that she realized that she shouldn't be so afraid, and she boldly looked at the two.
"Go away, my sister is inside, why can't I go?"
Cheng Mingyi followed the sound and looked, only to see Cheng Mingyue raising her eyebrows, as if she was provoking; How? Do you think that she will take care of the face of the Cheng family and will not embarrass her in front of outsiders, so she has no fear?
Zhou Tingna was not sure of Mingyi's attitude towards these people in the Cheng family, so he only turned his head to look at her.
Mingyi sneered, "Cousin, go back, I'll go see my grandfather and grandmother later." ”
