The lights in the governor's mansion were brightly lit.
Qi Yun waved a round eyebrow-leveling stick in both hands. The eyebrow-leveling stick, which was as thick as a baby's arm, seemed to be nothing in Qi Yun's hands. It was played like a weightless tiger, and a strong wind whistled into the crowd. in the ears.
Under the siege of five rough warriors, the short sticks in their hands were knocked away by Qi Yun before they could reach Qi Yun's face. Immediately, the shadows of the sticks were heavy and the five warriors were hit in the chest with the eyebrow-raising stick. On top of that, there was a hint of flushing on the face, revealing a trace of Qi and blood stirring.
One of the oldest samurai waved his hand: "No, no, Miss, you are becoming more and more proficient in using the real chukka technique every move. The five of us brothers are no longer the opponent of Miss."
"Second Miss, what the eldest brother said is absolutely right. A year ago, the combined attack skills of the five of us brothers were on par with the Miss. We could fight hundreds of rounds effortlessly. Now, we can even beat the Second Miss." I can’t resist even half of the moves.”
Qi Yun was dressed in a smart outfit. There was a trace of sweat on her beautiful face. Her face was a little flushed after exercising. Sanqian Qingsi randomly found a red rope and tied it behind. Qi Yun looked at the five people with confused expressions. : "Uncles, you didn't let Yun'er do it on purpose just to make me happy. I do feel a little stronger now than before, but I won't be able to defeat your combined attack technique so easily."
"Second Miss, you are a genius with both civil and military talents. You are a lady from a wealthy family, but you don't like red makeup and love military uniforms. It can be said that the five of us brothers have grown up watching you, Second Miss. Relying on your noble status, Miss, let alone condensation all day long. There is no need to do the martial arts like me to put on makeup, Miss, you really have a very different personality from other ladies."
Qi Yun shook her head sadly: "Our dynasty is now suffering from internal and external troubles. Outside, there are the Jin Kingdom and the grassland tribes who are watching covetously. Inside, there is the White Lotus Sect that deceives people's hearts. In the middle of the dynasty, the prince Duan controls the government, and the powerful Prime Minister Wei Yong forms a party for personal gain. Although Yun'er is a daughter He has a body, but he also has the ambition of a man. He wishes he could not be born as a man, and he is dedicated to the country with a sincere and courageous heart."
The boss' expression tightened after hearing Qi Yun's words. He hurriedly looked around and saw that no outsiders were there before he breathed a sigh of relief: "Second Miss, you must not say that. It doesn't matter if you think about it in private, but you must not do it in front of outsiders. Such nonsense. Your father's identity is sensitive. As the governor of a state, if someone with a heart listens to this, it will be a disaster. It is a serious crime for the Yi clan to criticize the government and be known by those corrupt scholars. What's more, Master Qi's status can be said to be If you commit a crime knowingly, the crime will be increased by one degree."
Qi Yun seemed a little dissatisfied: "What are you afraid of? Since the founding of our country, the Great Dragon Dynasty, the founding ancestor has issued an order to inform the world. The Dragon Dynasty will not be punished for speech. If you have fame and honor, you will not kneel down and you will not be punished. You can disobey the order without killing, and it is rare for officials to govern in the Qingming Dynasty."
"Miss, how can you be so smart in your life that you can be confused for a moment? As the saying goes, there are emperors and courtiers in one dynasty, but today we are not Emperor Taizu Gao. Alas, in short, miss, you can think about it for yourself. When you speak, think about the whole family. The wealth and life of the young and old.”
"Song Shan, is this girl Yun'er being messy again? Don't indulge her too much. Those who deserve to be punished will still be punished." A deep and serious voice interrupted what several people were saying.
"We have met your lord."
"Yun'er greets daddy. Wish daddy good luck."
Qi Run waved his hand: "Everyone, get up. There are not so many etiquettes at home. Please step aside for the time being. I have something to talk with the second lady."
"As ordered, I'll take my leave, little ones."
After no one left, Qi Run looked at Qi Yun who was dressed in military uniform with dissatisfaction: "Yun'er, I'm going to the study to wait for you. Why don't you change your clothes? How elegant is the military uniform that a lady wears all day long? She can't learn from it." Be as obedient, sensible, and sensible as your eldest sister. If word spreads like this, where can I put my old face?"
"The eldest sister is knowledgeable and courteous, but..."
Qi Run's face darkened: "Shut up!"
Qi Yun did not dare to refute and said obediently: "Yes, Yun'er will go change clothes now and bother daddy to wait in the study."
"What? The Liu family came to propose marriage? Dad, you won't agree, right? Yun'er will not marry someone like Liu Mingzhi under any circumstances." Qi Yun listened to Qi Run's story about the Liu family coming to propose marriage, and she was really shocked. consternation.
Qi Run seemed to have anticipated his daughter's mood: "Don't marry? What if you don't marry? Now the whole Jianghuai River bank wants to know that you were attacked by that kid from the Liu family... and took advantage of it. Who else is willing to marry you?" Your father doesn't want to agree to this marriage, but you are now on the cusp of the storm, and everyone in Jianghuai is preparing to see your jokes and see how the Qi and Liu families have lost face."
"Dad, a prodigal like Liu Mingzhi has no ambitions and only knows how to hang out in brothels and boathouses. If your father asks your daughter to marry him, aren't you pushing your daughter into a pit of fire?"
It was okay not to mention this matter. When Qi Run mentioned this matter, his face burned even more and he patted the desk in panic, which made Qi Yun jump: "You still have the nerve to say that you are a noble lady, no? I love nvhong and like to wear military uniforms and play with swords, guns and sticks in private. Dad can’t say anything, but you can’t wield swords and guns all day long. You don’t understand nvhong and don’t learn nvren etiquette. Now you are eighteen and you are a famous beauty. , but don’t you have any idea why no one has come to propose marriage in these years? A daughter’s family is running around all day, does it look like a daughter’s family? "
Qi Yun was at a loss for words: "But if I want to marry, I can't marry Liu Mingzhi, a libertine who has no ideas, no writing, and no martial arts. I would rather marry a beggar at will than marry him."
"Lord, libertine, you disguised yourself as a lady and went to visit a brothel. You were so confused that you could do such a thing. Even if you went secretly, no one would know. But you were discovered openly. Who in Jianghuai doesn't know that the second young lady of Qi's family actually disguised herself as a man and went to a place like Yanyu Pavilion with fireworks? If you hadn't gone to such a filthy place, how could you have had such a sensation with him? You did it all by yourself, yet you still have the nerve to call others libertines when your daughter’s family goes to visit a brothel.”
"I can marry anyone, but not Liu Mingzhi?"
"The fact that you were taken advantage of by Liu Mingzhi in the Misty Pavilion has become known all over the city. Who else dares to marry you except him? You want to marry, but who will marry you? Besides, Liu Mingzhi is also famous in Jinling Mansion. Although he is a bit of a dandy as a scholar, he is still a good candidate in general. It is possible that Qiu Wei will be admitted to the Juren Examination this year."
"Jiuren? Daddy, my daughter is not the kind of lady who stays close to home. She has long heard what kind of person Liu Mingzhi is. He eats, drinks, whores and gambles, beats and scolds the elderly, bullies children, and molests women from good families on the street. Kicking down the widow's door in private is just as short as digging up the family's grave. There's nothing Liu Mingzhi hasn't done before."
"How could my father, as the parent and official of the common people of a state, not know where his talent came from? Although our dynasty does not prohibit businessmen's children from participating in the imperial examination, it is only possible if he has real talent and learning, but his status as a tribute student It was donated by his father with money.
"There is a goose in the sky, a river on the ground, and the geese fly down to the river, playing happily. Father, is this a poem that a future scholar can write? My father is also an official who has entered the Second Class as a Jinshi. Since my father is The parents of Jinling, how about commenting on the poems written by future people under your rule?"
Qi Run's face was also a little confused: "Is...is...is it that bad?"
"Dad, as a chief of a government, has he really never heard of the reputation of a playboy like Liu Mingzhi?"
"I've heard of it, but I didn't expect it to be so unbearable. Yun'er, although the Liu family is a merchant's home, Liu Zhian's sworn brother is Song Yu, the minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs who is about to be transferred to the Ministry of War. Liu Mingzhi is young and has nothing to do. From now on, He may not be a good man, and Liu Zhi'an has said that he is willing to fund the construction of Prince Duan's meritorious temple. If this is done, my father will be promoted to an official in the Ministry of War. At that time..."
"Is the father planning to trade with his daughter?"
"How can you say it's a deal? You and Liu Mingzhi are a perfect match, and what happened in the misty rain pavilion is a match made in heaven. My father is just saying hello to you. My father has already agreed on the marriage. Do you want to Do you want your father to be a treacherous villain?"
Qi Yun sat down and said, "My daughter understands. My daughter is feeling a little uncomfortable, so she is going to rest first."
Qi Run seemed to want to explain something to his daughter. Looking at his daughter's desolate back, he sighed heavily and stared at a letter on the table in a daze.
[Liu Mingzhi: “You wouldn’t know I’m so good unless you tell me. Do you know how many things my father has done for Jinling?”]
