Within a few days, Harry happily went to the land of Qilu and began his missionary career.
In a sense, Qi Yu, as a native Chinese, is still very resistant to the infiltration of foreign culture.
However, from a practical perspective, this approach may still be a relatively benevolent approach.
How to express this view?
Let's see, according to the current characterization of the imperial court, worshiping the emperor is a crime of rebellion, that is, a serious crime. However, any believer who has committed a crime must be sentenced to death, and the conviction cannot be reversed.
If this happens, there will be a river of blood flowing.
How long has it been since the massacre at the execution ground in Lanshan County?
Yin Jian is not far away!
You must know that among these vast numbers of believers, a large part of them are good people who have been deceived. They were just temporarily confused and went astray.
If Harry could drag them back, it would indirectly save their lives.
Behind this seeming absurdity, there is also a kind of kindness.
Without using swords and halberds, this seems to be the best approach I can think of.
As for how to properly eliminate these foreign cultures after achieving the goal, Qi Yu already has an idea in his mind, and as a wise emperor, I believe he is well aware of it.
Back to business.
After the Xiaohan solar term has passed, it is basically approaching the end of the year.
The imperial court and various government offices are also conducting year-end summaries, and some are even discussing the secrets of how to divide the spoils.
On this day, Qi Yu's family welcomed a long-awaited happy event.
The officials of the Ministry of Rites finally approved the request of the Qi family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law before the year before, that is, the matter of canonizing Zhou's and Liu Quan's married women.
A certain doctor from the Ministry of Rites came to announce the decree.
As the head of the family, Qi Yu wore formal clothes and opened the door to welcome him personally.
After sealing the wedding money, Qi Dalang was busy setting up the incense table in the yard and guided his mother and wife to complete the ceremony.
After the ceremony, the Minister of Rites took his leave and left.
Zhou and Liu Quan were both facing the imperial edict for the first time. They had no previous experience and were confused during the whole process. It took a long time before they finally came to their senses.
Mrs. Zhou looked at the dress of the Imperial Lady in her hand and said to herself: "I...have become the Imperial Lady now? Why does it feel like I'm dreaming?"
Qi Yu smiled and said: "Mom, you are not dreaming. From now on, you will be the real seventh-grade imperial wife."
Zhou laughed and said, "Is this the legendary one-step journey to heaven?"
But Qi Yu shook his head: "This is far from the truth! When my son gets promoted, you will follow the rising tide, and you may become Mrs. Gaoming."
Speaking of the imperial edict, Qi Yu couldn't help but glance at his wife.
She still remembered that when she happened to go to the Yin family, a fortune teller once told her that she had the luck of Mrs. Gaoming in her life. Looking at it now, this false statement may really become a reality.
Yes, once your official position reaches the fifth rank or above, can't you ask for a royal title?
Thinking of this, Qi Yu smiled happily.
What could be more satisfying than bringing a sense of honor to your family?
This is where the real sense of accomplishment lies. What’s the point of just being happy on your own?
Next, this imperial attire became the focus of several people.
Xiaotong was the fastest to take action. She snatched it from her mother's hand, and then quickly tried it on herself, but found that she couldn't put it on at all, so she showed a very regretful expression.
When Qi Xiao saw that his sister couldn't try it on, he made a fuss and asked his grandma to wear it for him.
Qi Yu smiled and said, "How about you two try it on and see if it fits you. If it's too small, I can take it and replace it."
Try it on?
Um!
In fact, Mrs. Zhou had already been thinking about it. After hearing this, she ran directly into the room to try on it. Liu Quan also went into the bedroom to change clothes at the instigation of her husband.
Shao Qing, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law walked out dressed in the imperial attire of Madam Chi Ming.
Um!
It's really stylish and fits well.
Let’s see:
Jewelry: Three emerald pine trees on top of bun, four silver-plated sparrows, all holding bead knots in their mouths.
Clothes: Fine silk, large-sleeved shirt, embroidered clouds and sparrow pattern, Xiapei, silver pendant, back also has sparrow pattern, and long skirt with tangled branch pattern.
A man relies on his clothes and a horse relies on his saddle. With the two of them dressed like this, oh, it's as if they have changed into different people.
Beautiful and noble!
Even though this dress is just a symbol of status, it also carries the nature of rank. If some small officials meet, they will take the initiative to come over to pay tribute according to the rules!
Um?
Is there such a function?
Hearing this, Mrs. Zhou became even more delighted: "Oh! I didn't expect that I, an old country woman, would have such a noble status..." After talking about it for a while, she suddenly asked: "Amao, what do you think if I wear
When you return to our hometown wearing these clothes, will your uncle's eyes pop out when he sees them?"
Uh, why are you suddenly thinking about your hometown?
Qi Yu laughed loudly and said, "I guess uncle's eyes will fall to the ground."
"Ha ha……"
Liu Quan just watched from the side. Although she did not speak, her heart was also immersed in the joy of happiness. She looked at her clothes for a while, and then looked at her husband who was smiling beside her. Unknowingly, a feeling
A strong sense of pride filled my heart.
People feel refreshed when happy events happen!
There is no doubt that today’s dinner will be big fish and meat.
Very rich indeed.
Happy, Ms. Zhou also showed off her newly learned and affordable hard dish - a stick of firewood-roasted pork head.
Fat but not greasy, mouth full of oil.
Qi Dalang, who finally succeeded in losing weight, probably needs to loosen his belt again.
…
Since the end of the year is approaching, official affairs have to be tightened. Yamen at all levels are busy with finishing work, and Xingtaipu Temple is no exception.
Yes, the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month is the day when the government office has a official holiday. All arrangements must be made in advance. If anything goes wrong, the New Year will be unsettled.
Xingtaipu Temple is the department in charge of horses, so specific official duties will also revolve around horses.
For example, whether the stored fodder is sufficient, whether the cold protection measures in the stables are appropriate, etc. Especially for those mares that are pregnant, you should pay close attention to whether there are signs of miscarriage, and feed some yam from time to time to nip it in the bud.
.
These must be recorded one by one.
As Qi Yu was the only person in charge of writing in the temple, he was naturally called upon to work for several days, which was considered a hard work.
If we talk about the busiest person, it must be Mr. Zhao Mingyu and Mr. Zhao.
What's going on?
These days, he has devoted himself entirely to a major academic research, namely, the breeding experiment of war horses.
He got up early and went to bed late, and throughout the day he directed his officials to arrange for hand-to-hand fights between two horses. He also said to his subordinates: Don't laugh. This big dark horse is working hard for the country's military construction. We should respect it.
That's it.
In addition, he also expressed his special thanks to Qi Yu.
Because, this beautiful thing was brought about by Qi Yu.
Here's the thing.
That day, after Qi Yu made a request to the emperor for a horse, he actually sent someone to find a wild horse from outside the region. The key is that it was a male horse.
After getting it, Qi Yu almost without thinking, directly borrowed the flowers to offer to the Buddha, and then generously gave them to Zhao Mingyu.
Master Zhao accepted it happily.
You know, this is the horse breed that Lao Zhao has been thinking about for a long time. Now that he has it, how can he not be happy?
After acquiring a treasure, Lao Zhao no longer cared about holidays. He personally selected more than a dozen strong mares for breeding trials. He stayed in the stables every day to guide the work and never tired of it.
What Qi Yu didn't expect was that just because of this horse, an unexpected little disturbance was caused.
