Faced with Li Yuan's confusion, Peng Shiyu finally said the reason why Li Yuan was dumbfounded.

"Alas, Grand Duke, in fact this is also the fault of the underneath. Didn't you leave your little sister as a hostage in your house at the beginning, you don't know the marriage rules of my Dongxi land, and the women between the tribes are hostages, which is actually the meaning of marrying her to you......

Of course, this matter has never been mentioned to the Metropolitan Governor, and I know that according to the rules of the Han people, the marriage matter is very important and cannot be played, but in my Dongxi Land, this incident means that the little sister Qingying is your Dadu Governor's person. But later, Qingying returned to Xizhou with her clansmen, which is not a big deal for the governor, but for my Dongxi woman, this is a big deal. ”

Li Yuan was stunned and said: "Even if it's your Dongxi's rules, I really don't know about this section." At that time, if I knew that taking her as a hostage meant to marry me, how could I easily keep her, this marriage is a major event in life, how can it be decided so casually? Peng Guogong, you should have told me the truth a long time ago......"

Peng Shiyu smacked his lips and said, "Governor, haven't you forgotten?" Before Wu Pingjun returned to the division that day, Zai Xia had actually mentioned that he wanted Qing Ying to stay in your mansion, but you had other important things to do at that time and did not speak, and naturally Zai Xia did not dare to mention it again......

But I still attach great importance to marriage in Dongxi. Even if Qingying was hostage at that time because of our alliance to raise troops, but in the end, she is my little sister Peng Shiyu, and now I am the lord of Dongxi, and everyone in the city knows this section, and they have regarded her as the woman of your Li Dadudu. ”

Li Yuan frowned and pondered for a while, then smiled bitterly: "You said that, the governor of Pontus also remembered, you did mention it at the time, but I didn't say anything about marrying her......"

Peng Shiyu nodded, and then arched his hand and said, "I understand." Dadu Governor, I don't want to force you to marry my little sister, and I don't dare to blame you, after all, the cause of the matter is ultimately because of the war, and no one is right or wrong. And, as her eldest brother, I still have to thank you for your great kindness, although Qingying is a hostage, you didn't move a finger of her after you returned home, which is admired by you from the bottom of my heart, after all, you tried your best to protect her name. ”

"But why did Qingying run away to Osan again, and why did you say that this was because of me?" Li Yuan asked.

"Dadu Governor, once I am sent home by my husband after marriage, it will be a great shame for my Dongxi woman. But if there is such a woman, they will be considered ominous, and most of them will eventually choose to live alone in the mountains and forests, if they live in the city, what will the people of Dongxi think, it is a blasphemy against the gods of Wuxi.

Even if Qingying is my Peng Shiyu's little sister, she is no exception. For this matter, the tribes also decided to ask the old witch to set up an altar and pray to the gods of Wuxi for forgiveness! And Qingying also thinks that she can't break the rules, anger the ghosts, and bring disaster to my Dongxi just because she is a little sister. Therefore, she chose to live alone on the banks of the mountains and rivers, and she couldn't persuade her to go back! Peng Shiyu shook his head and sighed.

Li Yuan frowned and said, "How can you have such rules?" This is ridiculous! Peng Guogong, your ancestors are Han Chinese, why do you have to follow such absurd barbarian customs? ”

Peng Shiyu's eyes flickered suddenly, and then he seemed to try his best to suppress his temper, and arched his hand: "What the Governor said is right, my Peng clan ancestors have indeed been Han people for generations, but we have lived in this Dongxi land for sixty or seventy years, and since we have lived and grown in this place, then no matter the Han and barbarian races, the Wuxi gods must not be offended!" Governor, I beg you to retract these words, which will anger the gods. ”

Li Yuan also realized that he had said the wrong thing, and the so-called following the customs of the villagers still had to respect the beliefs and customs of the Dongxi people, rather than ridiculing them. In the end, in five dynasties and ten countries, and not modern, is it possible to move out of the abrupt language of breaking superstition and believing in science? These customs may seem absurd to themselves, but they are extremely serious to the Dongxi ethnic groups who have lived here for generations.

"It's Pontus who has lost his word! But that's not what Pontus meant. In the past, she was a hostage in my house, and the governor of Pontus never had any ill intentions towards her, let alone a marriage. Later, your clansmen came to Langzhou, I saw that she was far away from her hometown for too long, so I asked her to meet with her clansmen to relieve the pain of homesickness, and finally she followed her clansmen back to Xizhou, but she did not quit, but I read that she was eager to return to her hometown, so I did not stop her, and simply let her go. ”

"I see! That's the little sister's, it's not, and please forgive the majority of the governors, the little sister is indeed a little rude! Alas, this little sister of my family has been pampered since she was a child, and she is used to being arrogant by nature, and sometimes what she says is often not the same thing as what she thinks in her heart......

That's it, her life is over, not even a widow with a dead husband, a widow can remarry, but she can't. What's the use of Peng Guogong now, I want to help her, but I don't know where to start. Peng Shiyu shook his head and sighed, and poured another glass of wine.

Li Yuan frowned and was silent, where did these broken rules come from in this place of Dongxi, according to Peng Shiyu's words, didn't he really ruin this Peng Qingying's life? To tell the truth, Li Yuan has no ill feelings towards Peng Qingying, just saying that Peng Qingying can be regarded as a beauty in appearance, and few men in the world have a sense of disgust for a big beauty, unless it is a eunuch.

But Li Yuan really didn't want to provoke too many women at this time, compared to before, his thoughts in this regard have been reduced a lot, and now the top priority is to put more attention into the plan to gain a foothold for the future.

But if this time it really affects Peng Qingying's life as Peng Shiyu said, it will be a different matter. In any case, Peng Qingying is a first-class woman in terms of appearance and status, and her character is also a pure and upright person from the fact that she bravely stood up for Wang Jingyao that day, so of course she will not refuse to have such a good woman in the house to serve.

Seeing that Li Yuan frowned and was silent, Peng Shiyu blushed and kept panting, as if he had drunk a little too much, and then patted Li Yuan's shoulder with his tongue and said: "Governor, I know that you are a heroic young man, and there will naturally be no shortage of women around you in the future, and you don't need to be responsible for this matter." However, my little sister has been the pearl of my Peng family since she was a child, if you ask me if there is a man in Dongxi who does not want to marry her, I dare to guarantee that if you ask 10,000 people, 10,000 people will want to marry her.

But I know that they are not worthy of the little sister. She herself once said that she would marry a big hero in the future, and you are undoubtedly a perfect match for her. I'm not afraid of your jokes, and I know that Qingying actually likes you very much.

Do you know that after she returned to Xizhou, she even invited a painter to paint your portrait and hang it on the bedside, eat three meals a day in front of your portrait, and sometimes laugh in front of your portrait, you say, if she doesn't love you very much, how can she do such a thing? ”

I don't know if it's because of drinking, Li Yuan's scalp suddenly exploded, and he felt a little chill on his body, why did this matter sound so ......
