Chapter 209: Big Ups and Downs
Viscount Kuznetsov looked at the Oriental man who was sitting behind the table and facing him with a complicated expression.
Although this group of Orientals has always said that they are not Khitan, but Han, they have made a lot of efforts to correct the way their group is called, and even starved them a few times, but they have finally corrected most of them.
His old Anatoly was somewhere between correcting and not correcting, but it didn't matter, he just had to be corrected in public.
Although he had known that his precious daughter had entered the man's house a few days earlier, Anatoly had only seen him for the first time yesterday afternoon.
Not as a wife, but as a concubine!
Anatoly understood the difference between wives and concubines, and the pagan Turks had this custom, and they were well informed along the way, and they had long been familiar with it.
Even he, Viscount Kuznetsov, sent his handsome and dashing third son to quietly hook up with the favorite concubine of a large Turkic tribe khan to obtain supplies.
But it was precisely because of understanding that he Anatoly couldn't accept it!
Oh my God, it's okay to marry a heretic, but how can you become a concubine! It's okay to be a lover, so you can still have the opportunity to marry a resentful wife, but Yelena has become a concubine, a concubine whose life and death are controlled by his wife!
So when he met Jia Hui, after hearing his name, Anatoly broke free from the two armored knights who bound him, and rushed towards Jia Hui with an unknown face with a loud roar.
An old Hu man with a scar on his face and long white hair rushed towards him with an angry face, Jia Hui was frightened by him, and kicked the old Hu man with a leg and slid down the floor for more than a foot, but the old Hu man slapped up from the floor as if he was fine, patted the footprints on his stomach and roared and fought with Jia Hui again.
At the moment when the old Hu man got up, Jia Hui's afterglow seemed to catch a glimpse of the emperor's eyes lit up, and the eyes of the old Hu man changed.
After more than 80 rounds, although Lao Hu has been suppressed by Jia Hui at a disadvantage, Jia Hui has not found a chance to defeat the enemy with one blow.
It wasn't until Jia Hui took off the obstructive robe on his body to increase his attack speed, and it was more than thirty rounds that Jia Hui seized the flaw of Lao Hu and beat him to the ground
Only then did Jia Hui know that this old bearded man who was beaten by himself on the ground and covered his chest and panted for breath was the father of his Rakshasa aunt Yelena.
Viscount Anatoly Petrovich Kuznetsov.
Embarrassed, I thought it was Yelena's cousin, cousin, or even uncle or other relatives.
The emperor was very generous to forgive the crime of fighting in front of the two saints in front of the palace, and called the old Hu people "Viscount Ku" for the first time, and the old Hu people immediately did not have a pain in their waist, their chests were not tight, and they climbed up happily with their hands on the ground.
Jia Hui felt that the emperor could generously forgive this old Hu man, probably. I like this force who can fight with him for more than a hundred rounds.
Coupled with his ruthless behavior of migrating more than 10,000 miles with his clansmen, the emperor, who was born with a penchant for collecting fierce generals, had the intention of recruiting.
Familiarity with the West is one thing.
Being able to find and kill the favored retainers of the Grand Duke of Nalaoshzi among the hosts, this Viscount Ku must also be a good hand at charging into battle.
When I first arrived, the interpersonal relationship was even simpler than a blank piece of paper, and the only relationship between the two was that the eldest daughter became the emperor's seventh-grade beauty, and his youngest daughter became Jia Hui's concubine.
Tsk, this old Hu man is ugly himself, but he didn't expect to give birth to two daughters who made the emperor and the Taiwei excited.
And even if he has a low political level, what are these two short and concise connections for?
On the whole, as long as you recognize the title of a viscount, and then generously forgive them for the sin of disgrace in front of the palace, you can harvest a fierce general who can be slightly inferior to Jia Hui in the battle, and make a lot of money, is it?
As a result, Anatoly, the newly baked son of Suzhou Prefecture of Great Qi, was taken home by his son-in-law of Dunhuang County.
After a scene like a father-daughter meeting, old Anatoly, who had been thinking seriously all night, finally accepted the matter.
Especially after Yelena carefully sorted out what kind of character Jia Hui was in Daqi, old Anatoly also accepted his fate.
He was the titular supreme military commander of this empire called Great Qi, Tai Lieutenant.
He is one of the highest military attachΓ©s in this empire, and the governor of the left army.
He is the most powerful and brave general in this empire, the Great Sima General.
is still a noble, ruling a place called Dunhuang, and his fief seems to be on his territory, in other words, he is Jia Hui's vassal!
He was even regarded as a favorite of the emperor's nephews.
The worst thing is that Jia Hui is also the god of war who destroyed the three countries established by the terrifying Mughal people.
It's just that, it doesn't matter if it's a wife or a concubine, as long as the daughter likes it, the daughter's happiness is the most important!
Since then, Anatoly has never discussed these issues again, and has regained his strength
"Alas, this is no longer Eastern Europe but Daqi, some rules are different, it still takes time to get used to it, and you have to control your temper in the future"
Jia Hui rubbed his sideburns with a folding fan, a little distressed. Jia Hui really didn't know what to call him, and his father-in-law was only Li Shouzhong from beginning to end, and the rest didn't recognize him.
Anatoly's Chinese was still not very good, so the two of them could only communicate in the Mongolian language that they both knew.
What's worse is that Anatoly learned the rural accent of the Mengwu people in Mobei, and Jia Hui spoke the Chahar pronunciation, the accent, word meaning and even grammar are not the same, and you have to consider reacting for a while when you say a word
"Okay." Anatoly nodded solemnly.
He didn't care at all, Jia Hui didn't use honorifics for himself, although he didn't dare to let the duke use it.
And he really should change his temper.
At the beginning, he was enraged by the ridicule of the Grand Duke of Moscow's courtiers, so he led his knights into the enemy line to kill him.
Although he was praised by everyone as a hero, a god of war and the like at that time, the result was that he could only pick up his tail like a water dog and leave his hometown with his clansmen in disgrace
And what happened yesterday was too exciting, even more exciting than when I learned that the Grand Duke of Moscow was going to himself.
After all, the Grand Duke of Moscow is not in front of him, and the two emperors of Daqi are sitting not far from him!
At that time, I didn't feel anything when I was angry and ready to fight hard, but when I calmed down and thought about it carefully, I was suddenly scared into a cold sweat.
is his old feudal lord back then, and the Grand Duke of Ryazan was guarded by many knights, but at that time, there were emperors in front of him, or even two, how could there be fewer guards around him?
"Well, you're not too young, I think you're sixty years old, right? Is it bad to go fishing, play chess, and walk birds? β
"It's fine. Wait a minute! Anatoly nodded in agreement, but suddenly raised his head with wide eyes.
"Lord Duke, old Anatoly just celebrated his thirty-seventh birthday five months ago!"
"Huh?" Jia Hui frowned, his face full of doubt
This image with white hair, this face full of vicissitudes and ravines, no matter how you look at it, there are more than thirty-seven!
"What I said is true! My lord, I remember very well that when Yelena was born, I was just twenty-one years old. Yelena also celebrated her sixteenth birthday last month, so am I thirty-seven this year? Anatoly tried to defend himself.
"Okay." Looking at Anatoly's old face, Jia Hui didn't know what to say
Although I know that Europeans age fast, but this
Jia Hui shook his head, since he couldn't figure it out, he didn't want to.
"Okay, thirty-seven is thirty-seven"
"It's thirty-seven." Anatoly lowered his head and muttered.
"Ah, what did you say?"
"Nothing, nothing." Anatoly looked nervously from side to side
"Tsk" Jia Hui glanced at Anatoly a little speechlessly, and decided to finish what he had to say immediately, and then drive this old man out!
"What are your plans for the future?"
"Plans? Let my people go to my fiefdom, of course, we've been gone for eight years, it's time to get right."
"Wait, wait, wait. Fief? When did you have a fief, how did I not know? Jia Hui looked at Anatoly with a puzzled face.
"Of course it's the place called Suzhou, my lord.
I heard a eunuch say that my fiefdom of Suzhou is in your fiefdom of Dunhuang! Speaking of his fiefdom, old Anatoly immediately became excited.
"Yes, Suzhou is in Dunhuang, but Daqi does not have a fiefdom."
"Yes, yes, it's not a real fiefdom. Yes? Anatoly, with an excited face, suddenly froze in place
"Great, my lord, what do you mean? I don't understand much. Didn't His Majesty the Emperor say, "Give me 300 households?" Anatoly looked at Jia Hui expectantly, hoping that he could say the answer he wanted the most.
"The three hundred households are saying, in addition to their taxes being handed over to you, you can't interfere in the specific amount of taxes collected, the number of forced labor, and the daily management. Daqi does not have a fiefdom, not even a prince! β
"Ugh."
Hearing such bad news, Anatoly looked at Jia Hui blankly, his mouth unconsciously opened and closed "Abba Aba" a few times, and he rolled his eyes and fainted.
"Alas." Jia Hui sighed, stood up and opened the door of the study.
"Aunt Ye, her son fainted again, go and call Lang Zhong!"
γγγγγγ
After hearing the maid's report that her old father had fainted in the master's study, Yelena, who lived in the backyard, was immediately anxious, and she didn't care about the etiquette and cultivation of the nobles, so she ran towards the study with her long legs.
When he entered the door, he hugged the old father who was lying on the chaise longue and began to cry bitterly, until Lang Zhong arrived, and after a few stitches to wake up the old Anatoly, Yelena stopped crying and looked at the old father with hazy eyes.
The ups and downs came too suddenly.
Originally, he regained his title and fief, and was about to let his family build a fief, but Jia Hui suddenly told himself that the fief did not exist at all!
Just give money!
The huge gap made Anatoly, who usually prides himself on being an iron-blooded tough guy, can't help but shed sad tears
Jia Hui really couldn't stand the father and daughter who were hugging and crying, rolled her eyes, and told Yelena to take care of her father with peace of mind, and didn't care if she heard it or not, turned around and walked out of the study.
It's not so much a study, in fact, it's all about Jia Hui's collection of antique calligraphy and paintings, and the really confidential study is not here, so let their father and daughter cry, and then change to the guest room after crying.
γγγ
It may have rained only last night, but the weather was much cooler than usual.
Jia Hui wore only a gauze gown and held a folding fan, strolling aimlessly under the porch in the backyard.
Recently, nothing major has happened, and the biggest thing is that a group of Hu people dressed in strange Persians were found in Lanzhou City.
After the identification of the Persian merchants and their self-identification, the local embroidery clothes in Wuwei also confirmed their identities, and immediately packed and sent this group of people to Chang'an.
It was confirmed that they were the messengers of Safavid Persia.
It seems that Daqi has become an important force that can influence the situation in Central Asia
By the way, the news that the Ottoman mission had entered the Yumen Pass also came.
Heh, I'm really curious what the scene was like when the two of them met in Daqi.
It's decided, when they all arrive in Chang'an, immediately arrange a meeting with them!
I want to see rivers of blood!
Hey, hey, hey.
Well?
The two short figures that appeared in front of him interrupted Jia Hui's fantasy and made him stop.
"Big Brother/Brother-in-law"
Jia Cong and Li Shao greeted Jia Hui in a proper manner.
"Ha, excuse me, what's the matter, it's only after school!" Seeing the two, Jia Hui became interested.
Originally, Chang'an Guozijian did not have a Mengxue class, but since Taiwei opened this mouth, there were many cubs who came to Chang'an, and they were idle anyway, so Chang'an Guozijian's sacrificial wine made an exception to open a Mengxue class, which was held from the first day of July until seven days before the second saint decided to return to Luoyang.
So these bear children of Zixungui's family were thrown into this Mengxue class by their Lao Tzu Niang with a smile.
Oh my God, the annoying little cub has finally gone to school, and the couple can finally go out and have fun!
Since the beginning of the month, the Mengxue class of Chang'an Guozijian began, and these two boys have not appeared in front of them for nearly half a month
"Hey, it's the two of you, hey, Brother Cong, why did you hide your hands behind you? Reach out and let me see. β
After speaking, Jia Hui leaned forward and grabbed Jia Cong, who wanted to turn around and run away.
Where is Jia Cong, who is not yet ten years old, Jia Hui's opponent? can only be under Jia Hui's obscenity, with a look of grievance and a little despair, he stretched out his little hand that was about to swell into pig's trotters.
"Hahaha, cough, cough. Oh, Brother Cong was slapped by Mr. Tell the eldest brother why he was punished? Jia Hui smiled and put his thick arm on Jia Cong's thin shoulder, which made Jia Cong's body shake and almost fall, but he didn't dare to push this arm away, so he could only pout and not speak, daring to be angry and not speaking.
