Hearing He Yao's half-joking, half-serious words. After Duan Jin was stunned for a moment, he said angrily: "You little bastard, how dare you say this? Just now, instead of helping me, you actually helped me commit evil, and you started teasing me while I wasn't paying attention. That's your man, why do you always blame me? Are you really not jealous? "
After being exposed, He Yao's face turned slightly red, but then she calmed down and said, "Jealous? Is there that woman in the world who is willing to share her husband with other women? Is there that woman who sees her husband being frivolous? A woman like me won’t be jealous? But he is a proud man of heaven and cannot be controlled by just one person."
"It's not like that woman can control it alone. Facing such a man, I can only adjust my mind. I suppress the little temper of women in my heart. Who asked me to lose my virginity to him? Later, I really fell in love with him. Every time he frowned, I felt heartbroken when I saw him."
, "Actually, Wanqing and the others are nothing more than a few. After all, they are either my disciples or my master niece. But in the past few days, I have seen something wrong with the way she looks at Yi Ying. I actually don't feel anything about that woman. But I don’t like her very much, because that woman brings him too much trouble. But if he is really attracted to that woman, I can only give in. "
"Sister Duan, if there really must be a woman to share him, I would rather that woman be you. Because at least you won't make him so tired. Actually, Sister Duan, I know you are just being tough now. How much do you think about him? I'm already tempted, but I just refuse to admit it. Otherwise, why didn't you even struggle at all when you faced his strength just now?"
He Yao's meaningful words made Duan Jin sigh slightly. Staring at He Yao's beautiful face in front of him, Duan Jin gently touched her melancholy face and said: "You have changed. You are no longer the high-spirited plain-handed swordsman before. What I see now is just a single-minded person. It’s all in that little woman in that man.”
Regarding Duan Jin's emotion, He Yao shook her head slightly and said: "After a woman gets married, her thoughts should be on her husband. Since I am his now, my thoughts should naturally be on him." . As for everything in the past, it is already a thing of the past for me now. Taking care of my husband and raising my children is what I should do now."
Huang Qiong, who was already chatting with several local gentry outside, was naturally unaware of the conversation between He Yao and Duan Jin in the inner room. These gentry were all locals. After learning that some wealthy people had come to Liu Hu's family, they came to visit them early in the morning. When he saw Huang Qiong's princely clothes at Liu Hu's cemetery, he was dumbfounded.
Originally, he decided to leave after the visit, but after learning Huang Qiong's identity, he decided to stay for the banquet. Originally, this banquet was just prepared by Huang Qiong for Liu Hu to entertain old friends in his hometown. Although there is a bit more chicken, duck and fish, it is also very vulgar. In the past, these gentry were considered to be meticulous in their food, but no one dared to despise them.
Looking at the few gentry who looked at him submissively, Huang Qiong knew that with these people around, he might not be able to hide his identity as the prince. Although he made this gesture consciously, he didn't want to hide what happened today. But if this matter brings a lot of social troubles to oneself, naturally one would not like it.
It's just that people have arrived, but my friendship as a landlord is still over. What's more, I still need to use the mouths of these people to help me spread some things. Therefore, the due etiquette must still be fulfilled. After all, in this era, the prestige of scholars in rural areas is much higher than that of illiterate people.
Although everyone at the wine table had a bowl of wine poured in front of them, in front of Huang Qiong was a cup of tea that Lin Hanyan had consciously placed. Huang Qiong raised the tea and said with a smile: "I am young and not good at drinking. Now I will drink tea instead of wine and propose a glass of wine to you. This time, I accompanied Brother Liu back to his hometown to worship his ancestors. I originally wanted to keep a low profile. I never thought of being so arrogant."
"Today, I didn't expect to alarm all the squires. I shouldn't have come so early in the morning. I'm going to have tea instead of wine today. I'm here to make amends for you, and I ask you to be considerate." After that, Huang Qiong drank the tea in the cup first. It's just that Huang Qiong said he was sorry. How dare these squires really accept it? He quickly said he didn’t dare.
Maybe these people are at home and have a few drinks. But as they have status and status, they usually use small wine glasses for drinking. Today, the only things on the wine table used to hold wine are pottery bowls. Looking at the full bowl of wine in front of them, each of these people's faces were as wrinkled as buns. It's just a prince toasting himself, how dare they not drink it?
After looking at each other, they could only bite the bullet and drink the wine in the bowl in front of them. Fortunately, the King of England did not ask them all to drink dry. Although a few people had some difficulties, they did not appear to be drunk on the spot. Seeing the red faces of the gentry present, Huang Qiong picked up a chopstick and chewed it carefully.
After swallowing the food in his mouth, Huang Qiongcai smiled faintly and said: "Everyone, I am here this time. In addition to accompanying Brother Liu back home to visit relatives, there is another reason. Since I served as the envoy of Zhengzhou, , I have been working day and night, for fear that if I don’t do that well, I will be disgraced by the divine grace and be ashamed of the people of Zhengzhou. After these few months of busy work, I feel very tired.”
"Right now, the aftermath of the aftermath in Zhengzhou is almost done. Therefore, I decided to rest here for a period of time in order to regain my energy and strength. Although I respectfully serve as the prince of the imperial court, after all, I am still young and do not like to welcome people to that place. So I have another unkind request. I ask you not to spread the word about my cultivation here before I leave."
, When Huang Qiong said these words, he especially emphasized the words "before I leave". His meaning is very clear, what I need here is purity. I know you all have connections with the local government, but I don’t want my affairs here to be reported to the government.
Who are these squires here? If they can keep their property and family in such a chaotic situation in Zhengzhou, they are definitely at the level of old foxes. These people naturally understood Huang Qiong's so-called merciless invitation, and they all nodded in agreement. With these tacit understandings, the atmosphere at the wine table naturally became lively.
These people can become gentry and can keep their family property in the hands of the extremely greedy stewards of Prince Jing's Mansion. Naturally, they are all people with a certain status. Usually they have some degree of fame, at least they have the status of being a civil servant, or they are the brother and nephew of an official. There are even a few who have become officials of the fifth and sixth grades.
Otherwise, if it is like Liu Hu's family, he is a landowner. There is only one scholar in the family, and those greedy people in Prince Jing's Mansion, how can they really let them go? Tongsheng and Xiucai can be regarded as meritorious, but these two have not been registered with the Ministry of Personnel, and they are not even qualified to be elected officials. Really powerful people will not pay attention to them.
These people all know what to say and what not to say. Although there is a bit of flattery, at least everything on the scene is still done flawlessly. However, although Huang Qiong had a pleasant conversation with these people, when he asked about the personality and governance of the new governor of Michigan, these people either changed the subject or made jokes.
After a conversation, Huang Qiong's expression remained normal, but in fact he had lost interest in talking to these people. After expressing a slight apology to these people, Huang Qiong hesitated slightly and went outside the back door. Looking at the villagers eating on the flowing mat outside the door, the expression on his face became slightly better.
Huang Qiong did not disturb these noodles and dishes, but faced the villagers who were feasting on the rare delicacies in the past. Just looking at these people eating extremely lively, there was a slight smile on their faces. Especially when I see the children who can't lift their heads from eating, the smiles on their faces become even brighter.
In fact, the flowing water table today was very average because it was done in a hurry. Although Huang Qiong had already arranged for people to buy pigs and sheep when he arrived, and the quantity purchased was sufficient. And last night, all the required pigs and sheep had been slaughtered. When Huang Qiong and his party went to the cemetery, all the meat had been stewed.
When these meats are served, the aroma coming out is quite enticing. After all, for the poor people who do not have enough food and clothing on weekdays, and may not even be able to eat meat during the New Year and holidays, being able to eat meat is already a blessing. However, they will worry about whether the banquet is exquisite.
But there are neither mountain delicacies nor seafood on the table. In addition to pork, mutton, and whole chicken, to put it bluntly, there is a lot of real meat. And the meat was mostly pork, which is what is now called cheap stuff, and not even mutton. Because at this time, mutton is the high-end meat. In a wealthy family, it is difficult for pork to find a place on the table.
Not to mention that it cannot be compared with those banquets that are often worth thousands of guan, even compared with the table in the living room that is not exquisitely crafted, but at least has some delicacies, it can only be described as vulgar. In the eyes of those powerful people, I'm afraid they can't even stand looking at it. Not to mention, let them actually eat these things that look extremely greasy to them.
Huang Qiong just ordered Liu Hu to go and toast, but he didn't join in the fun himself. Because he knew that going there would make these people feel uneasy. On a daily basis, these common people would probably see a big shot in every village chief. If the prince himself walks among them, I am afraid that this lively scene will soon change.
Huang Qiong also knows that the concept of human dignity and inferiority is still very strong nowadays. If you don't want to spoil the fun of these people, it's better to stand aside and watch. But just when Huang Qiong was standing aside, preparing to watch quietly. But at the foot of a wall, there was a child who was half-clothed and barefoot. He was huddled in the corner carefully holding a broken bowl.
In her hand, there was only one mutton bone that had almost no meat, which must have been leftover by someone else. There was also half a steamed bun thrown by someone in the bowl. While carefully avoiding the villagers, she stuck out her little tongue and licked the sheep bone that had no meat and even no oil or water.
Because Huang Qiong requires all villagers who come to have a feast to bring their men, women, old and children with them. So in the field, except for this child. All the children in the village were clinging to their mothers or sitting next to their fathers, eating the same delicacies they had never tasted before. And this child has no parents or family around him.
Even I could only sit in the corner, looking at the other children with greedy eyes, eating there until my mouth was filled with oil. The villagers next to her were busy eating, and no one paid any attention to the poor child who was not served. Although the meat on the table can be added at any time, no one is willing to give this child even a piece of the half-eaten meat.
