"Master Gu is young, he can eat with his face, why bother to be this magistrate? Tell me that when the matter of Zhao'an is over, you might as well go to our leader's house and be my young lady's concubine! ”

Before the negotiation began, Shui Sanzi made disrespectful remarks to Gu Yunji, making it clear that he was not at ease, and wanted to provoke him to be angry, so that the people on the court side would lose money, so that he could take the initiative.

According to the regulations of the Great Xia Dynasty, only the husband of the princess can be called a concubine, and the husband of the county lord and the county lord can only be called Yibin. Moreover, Gu Yunji's side has not yet shown the conditions for recruiting peace given by the imperial court, but Shui Sanzi's words are as if he wants to be a prince, which is really arrogant and arrogant.

Shui Sanzi patted Gu Yunji's shoulder, pretended to be close, and said jokingly: "Lord Gu doesn't have to worry about my young lady's permission, she likes the young and handsome Lang Jun the most, with Lord Gu's appearance, she will definitely be able to win the favor of my young lady." ”

The fist on Gu Yunji's side tightened, and he quickly suppressed the depression in his chest, and smiled without changing his face: "The master of the water hall said that I am laughing, I am married and married, for the sake of the reputation of Miss Guifu, it is better to joke less about this kind of thing." ”

Shui Shanzi's purpose is to humiliate Gu Yunji, he doesn't care if he has a clear reputation, and even whether there is such a so-called young woman in Tao Lian is still unknown.

Seeing that Gu Yunji was not provoked, Shui Sanzi simply provoked further, but his face was generous and familiar: "What does it matter if you marry a wife or not!" How can a man's family stand up to the sky, how can there not be a few women around to serve? My young lady is not such an intolerable jealous woman, how can she account for this? ”

"However, people have high and low, and their status is high and low, and their names still have to be sorted out. For the sake of the first to enter the door, how about raising Master Gu as my young lady's concubine when she becomes my young lady's concubine? ”

"You!"

Gu Yunji's face changed, and he was about to get angry, but Su Qi next to him pressed him in time, stood up and said with a smile: "The water hall master's words are inappropriate, even if it is a joke, there is no reason to degrade his wife as a concubine." If you go against the order in this way, you will be deprived of your fame and will be punished in court. ”

"What's more, Lord Gu's wife is the daughter of the Xu family in Shaoxing, a famous lady, the Xu family, a scholarly family that has been inherited for a hundred years, has very strict rules, and most of the daughters raised are arrogant, and they can't rub sand in their eyes. It's good that we heard this, but if the Xu family listens to it, the water hall master is afraid that he will have a hard time. ”

As he spoke, Su Qi seemed to be smiling, patting Shui Sanzi's chest, with a hint of threat in his eyes.

For the coastal pirates, in addition to going ashore to plunder the people, they will often secretly collude with local merchants to do some smuggling activities. The Xu family has a lot of power in Shaoxing Mansion, and they are quite mixed, and if they give an order, they can easily make their lives tight.

Compared with the government, Shui Sanzi is still more afraid of the "ground snake".

Sure enough, when he learned that Gu Yunji's wife was from the Xu family in Shaoxing, Shui Sanzi's expression froze on his face, and he was speechless for a while.

The negotiations have not officially started, it is not good to tear the skin, and after successfully recovering a city, Su Qi took the initiative to hand Shui Sanzi a step: "It's been here for so long, it's not good for you to stand and talk outside all the time, let's go into the house and sit down." ”

However, Shui Sanzi had a very good face, so he refused to go down the steps, but looked at the young man who had just blocked his conversation unconvinced, and his tone was not good: "Who are you?" ”

Su Qi smiled good-naturedly: "Zhejiang is the commander of Tongzhi, Su Qi." ”

"Su Qi ......"

Shui Sanzi smacked the name, felt a little familiar, but couldn't remember who it was, and he couldn't find the number in his memory several times, so he was relieved and said contemptuously: "General Su has done it from the second rank to command the same knowledge at a young age, you must know that there is a limit to going through the back door, so if you are not worthy, beware of the official position is too big and bends over." ”

"He's not worthy? The Water Hall Master wasn't joking. Gu Yunji had long seen that the third son of the water was not pleasing to the eye, and finally found an opportunity to sarcastically go back, "Hasn't the water hall master heard the name of the Su family of Dingguo Gong?" ”

"Dingguo Gong?!"

After all, Su Qi is young, and he has inherited the title for a few years, and for some people who don't pay much attention to court affairs, his father's reputation is still louder. However, the Duke of Dingguo is the Duke of Dingguo, and the glory accumulated by the heroes of the Su family for generations is not something that a casual widow can slander.

Shui Sanzi originally wanted to give the people on the court side a dismount before the negotiation, but he didn't expect that the two soft persimmons picked before and after were iron plates, and his face was suddenly extremely ugly.

However, no one handed him the steps at this time, and Shui Sanzi didn't go in, nor did he stay outside, so he couldn't get off the stage at all. At this time, the rest of the people who were traveling with him came over and relieved him of his embarrassment in time: "A few adults are waiting here because we haven't arrived?" The imperial court attaches so much importance to Zhao'an, and we are so honored. ”

The name of the person who came was Yu Jingming, and like the third son of Shui, he was the right-hand man of Tao Lian. However, unlike the flamboyance of the third son of Shui, Yu Jingming's face is kind, and when he sees people, he smiles first, and he looks like a smiling tiger.

Yu Jingming was followed by several high-level members of the Japanese group, and the one who was surrounded in the middle was a man who looked like he was in his fifties, and he should be the leader of the Japanese group.

When the people on the Japanese side arrived, Mei Feng no longer held on to the provocation of Shui Sanzi, said a few words casually, and led everyone into the house.

After entering the house, everyone sat down in turn according to their status, and Mei Feng said straight to the point: "I won't go around the bend like you, let's get straight to the point." Regarding Zhao'an, as long as you can guarantee that you will be loyal to our dynasty in the future, do not leave a backhand stab, and do not collude with the Dongying people, the imperial court is willing to make concessions and leave you some autonomy. ”

"First of all, Tao Da is the gang leader, His Majesty personally issued an edict to instruct that he can be named Zhenhai Earl, the title is hereditary, and his children can enjoy the shadow seal and become the official of the court."

"What? Zhen Haibo? ”

Shui Sanzi rubbed his ears when he heard this, looking like he was afraid that he had heard it wrong: "Although my Shui Sanzi has little reading, I also know that the titles of the imperial court are divided into five ranks, princes and uncles, and men. ”

"Our leader started in Nanyang, a well-known figure, with soldiers, power and money, stomp his feet, and the entire southeast sea area will be shaken three times. With our capital, if the court wants to recruit peace, we have to give the leader a king with a different surname, right? Just an earl, you don't use us for amusement! ”

Mei Feng said calmly: "The king with a different surname is the saying of the previous dynasty, and the Taizu Hadith of this dynasty is not allowed to be a king if he is not a royal family of the clan." Feng Taolian is a king with a different surname, impossible. ”

"It shouldn't be Zhen Haibo!"

Shui Sanzi puffed out his eyes and said unrelentingly: "The earl is just a third-class title, and if you grab a handful, it is not worth anything at all!" Su Qi's stinky boy is a duke, if he sees him in the court in the future, won't our leader still have to bend down and salute him? ”

"Let me tell you, the earl is not enough, since he can't be crowned king, then he has to be a duke!"
