Chapter 7: Deception (I)

Liu Shaoqing knew that he suspected his identity, but he couldn't be sure, so he was more calm and calm, not revealing a little weakness. At this time, Cheng Jian and others stepped forward to sign up for the gift, and Liu Shaoqing thought to himself that you were secretly plotting against me in the forest, and this account would be doubled.

After everyone saw the salute, Yeluzhi led everyone to the front hall. Wan Yanchang suddenly said "Huh" and said, "Wait a minute." Everyone saw him staring at the ground, only to see two three-inch-deep footprints left on the bluestone slab, Luo Tianchu knew that this was left by himself when he was sparring with Shima Guchuan, I don't know if he would see anything. Wanyan Wushu also came up to watch, and said in surprise: "Who did this, such a deep internal force!" Luo Tianchu had no choice but to say: "It's down." The two Wanyan turned their heads to look at him at the same time, unable to hide their surprise, and said in unison: "It's you?"

Ye Luying explained with a smile: "When Master Xiao Zhuang and the others first came, the head of the house had the intention to make things difficult, and Lin Shaoxia left these two footprints when they were sparring. The two finished looking at Luo Tianchu, a yellow-faced man who was not amazing, and only looked at it carefully at this time. Wan Yanchang muttered: "There will be no more than thirty people in the Central Plains who have this skill. What kind of mountain village is Yaowangzhuang, even a servant has such skills. Yeluying smiled and said: "There are dragons and crouching tigers hidden among the Han people, and we don't know many masters." Wan Yanchang said: "That's the old man's loneliness." ”

Everyone came to the front hall and sat down, and Wanyan Wushu had the highest status, sitting on Yeluying's Taishi chair. Yeluying sat at the head of the left, and Wan Yanchang sat opposite. Liu Shaoqing and others sat behind Yelu in turn, and Cheng Jian and others sat behind Yan Chang, and they formed a confrontation formation for a while. Ye Luzhi broke the deadlock with a smile and said: "Today is a happy day for proposing, His Royal Highness is the hero of the day, and the county lord is also a good woman who does not let women shave their eyebrows, what a pair of beauties." It is also a symbol of the eternal friendship of Jin Liao. Wanyan Wushu laughed and said: "That's right, present the dowry list to the prince." Cheng Jian handed over a booklet embroidered with a golden dragon on a red background, and there were a pair of jadeite inlaid gold unicorns, a pair of gold dragon and phoenix pendants, a pair of red jade shoes, a mutton fat jade pendant, an agate cornucopia, a dragon and phoenix auspicious jasper screen, a red coral Wanshou Mountain, sixty-six longan pearls, sixty-nine dark agate, three thousand taels of gold, and thirty thousand taels of silver. Ye Luying smiled and said: "Your Highness is serious, and Xiao Wang is sincerely afraid. Wanyan Wushu smiled: "The county lord is the pearl of the prince's palm, and this king is still too polite." Ye Luying thought that it would not be a pleasure to buy her daughter with these things, and what was the use of asking for such money and treasures without her daughter? If he could choose, even if it was ten times more valuable, he would not agree to this marriage, but he had no choice, so he could only silently hand over the gift list to Ye Luzhi.

Behind the screen, six pretty maids walked out, holding freshly scalded tea sets to make tea for everyone. Zhu Yushi found that Liuxiang was also among them, his eyes were red, as if he had just cried, and when he had the impression that Liuxiang was not happy, although he couldn't blame himself, he still felt uneasy. Liuxiang turned her back to him and poured tea for the guests of the Golden Kingdom, and never looked back at him. Bi Lan glanced at him, showing a helpless look.

After the maid retreated, Yelu won and said: "Xiao Wang has invited the best cook in the city to arrange a reception banquet for His Royal Highness, and the banquet will start immediately, please taste this newly arrived Ming Qian Longjing first." I saw that the tea buds in the blue and white bowl were upright, the soup was clear and fragrant. Drink it while it's hot, only to feel the sweat rising, the spirit is refreshing, the aftertaste is sweet, and everyone praises it. Wanyan Wushu put down the tea bowl and said: "This king came from afar to propose, if you don't see the eldest lady first, but you don't think about tea and dinner." Yelu won for the difficulty: "This time is just a marriage, according to the rules, it is not appropriate for the little girl to meet outsiders before marriage, let alone to meet her husband." Wan Yanchang said with a smile: "The prince is talking about the rules of the Han people, and we Jurchens are not so particular. Wanyan Wushu also smiled: "Yes, our Jurchen tradition is 'robbing marriage' and 'stealing', it all depends on the groom's ability." Yelu Ying changed color and said: "It is said that the Dajin Kingdom is also imitating the etiquette of the Han people, and the etiquette regulations for red and white ceremonies are no different from those of the Han people, why do you want to use the old system now?" Wan Yanchang explained with a smile: "Your Highness has a lot of affairs, and this time it is all up to the prince to come from thousands of miles to ask for marriage, so it is best to keep the marriage simple, and any common etiquette such as auspicious dates for engagement should be avoided." With the old man's intentions, the big wedding is set for tomorrow, and it is good to worship here with the rules of the Han people, we each take a step back, I don't know what the prince wants. Yelu Yinghua's beard trembled, which is a step back, clearly not taking himself seriously, let alone half respect, how can there be a reason to get married today and the next day, what is the difference between buying vegetables. As someone else, he brushed his sleeves away early, but he didn't dare in front of Wanyan Wushu, and finally had to compromise.

At this time, Yeluqi suddenly flashed in from the door, holding a long sword in his hand, and after looking around at everyone, his eyes fell on Wanyan Wushu. Wanyan Changqi said: "Lord Wang, who is this?" Ye Luying frowned, looked at his daughter in surprise, and there was a sense of blame in his eyes, thinking about what you came out for. He replied immediately: "This is the little girl, Qi'er, and I haven't come to see the four princes and King Lu." Ye Luqi stepped forward, looked at Yan Wushu squarely and said, "Is that you going to marry me?" After seeing her posture, Yan Wushu's eyes lit up, and he bowed and said: "It's this king, is the county lord good?"

Yeluqi sneered: "What's so good about being one of your hundreds of concubines." Yelu Ying Zhengse said: "Qi'er must not be rude, the eldest girl's family ran out before she got married, and she didn't retreat." Wanyan Wushu smiled and said: "It's okay, the county lord is true and true, this is the real Daliao woman." Now that you're here, please sit down and talk. Yeluqi said: "No need, I just want to ask the four princes one thing." After finishing Yan Wushu, he took a moment to say: "The county lord, please speak." Yeluqi said: "You just said that you want to marry me according to the old system of the Jurchen clan, is it true?" Wanyan Wushu bowed his head and said: "This king is so intended, but after discussing with Ling Zun, he decided to use the etiquette of the Han people instead, and it is set for tomorrow, I don't know what the county will do." ”

Who knew that Yeluqi smiled and said, "It's still made from the old one." Wanyan Wushu smiled and said: "That's great, don't worry, this king will treat you well, and God will bless us and give us a strong son, and this king will make him a hero of my Dajin Kingdom." Yeluqi laughed and said, "Don't go so far, I haven't finished my words yet." In the old system, a man had to be stronger than a woman to rob a marriage, and if he was not even as good as a woman, he could not get married. Wanyan Wushu smiled: "That's right, doesn't the county lord think that this king is inferior to you?" Ye Luqi raised the long sword in his hand and smiled: "Try it to know." Yeluying was afraid that his daughter would be in trouble, so he reprimanded: "Don't be rude to Your Highness, step down." Yeluqi said: "Since you do things according to the rules, what's wrong?" Yeluqi hurriedly said, "You ......!" (To be continued.) )
