"Boss, another drawer." The princess disguised as a man shouted deliberately in a rough voice.
Qin Yuelou was not afraid of the heat and picked up a basket and placed it on the princess's table.
The small and round soup dumplings in the cage are as clear as crystal. The nine small soup dumplings are arranged in a circle from the inside to the outside with the shape of "four three two".
Qin Yuelou looked at the princess and couldn't help but feel playful. He lowered his head and said something in the princess's ear.
"Those without Adam's apple are either eunuchs who purified themselves under age, or they are women. Are you the former or the latter?"
After Qin Yuelou finished speaking, the princess also bit into the dough of the soup dumplings, and the rich meat-filled soup was so hot that she took a breath.
"You, you, you, you..." The princess was so embarrassed that she couldn't even speak properly.
"Don't worry, I'm not interested in revealing your identity. The rouge and gouache on your body are also high-end. The fragrance of orchids and musk is even more high-end than those in the Hualiu Street hook-ups. I guess you are either rich or noble." Qin
Yuelou whispered, "Are you born in a noble family or an emperor's family? I think maybe you were born in the latter. With you pretending to be a man, are you a princess? Or a princess? But depending on your age, it should be
Is he the princess?"
"You, you, you, you..." The princess became even more upset.
"Don't panic, don't panic, I just made a casual guess, but now it seems that I guessed it right. You are not good at cultivating qi, and you have no scheming skills. I think you must be very popular, right?
The flowers grown in the greenhouse are always inferior to the wild flowers and weeds." Qin Yuelou said with a smile,
"Princess Princess, do you have any purpose in coming to my place to eat again and again?"
"I am not a princess, and I have no purpose. Stop talking!" After hearing this, the princess reluctantly recovered, but she was like a kitten showing its teeth and claws.
Not powerful enough but cute enough.
[Does he have the ability to read minds? Why can he get it right? Isn’t this too bizarre?] Princess Yunluo thought to herself.
"Besides, I don't have any mind-reading skills, so don't think too much." Qin Yuelou also said appropriately and at the right time, "The slums are not a place where people like you should come."
"Why...why do you say I can't come to the slums?"
"I didn't say you couldn't come. I just felt that even if you came, the slums would not have become better because of your arrival, right? Have you told your imperial brother what you saw and heard?" Qin Yue
View of the slums from the building.
Although it is dilapidated and mixed with dirt and filth, there are always seeds of hope sprouting. Even though they are few, they do exist.
Princess Yunluo was naturally inexperienced in world affairs, but from Qin Yuelou's words, she could also hear the true cruelty.
Indeed, the slums were filthy and messy, nothing compared to the interior of the imperial city at the feet of the Emperor. Even though Dajing had the appearance of a prosperous country and peaceful people, there were still people at the bottom who were struggling to have enough food and clothing.
Although the slums are dirty and messy, they at least provide a place to live. It is better than the slums being bulldozed and the people living in the slums getting nothing.
"I...I didn't say it. I just think that with Brother Huang's ability, we should be able to reduce the number of poor people. And I think it's impossible for Brother Huang not to know about the slums. The slums have not disappeared until now. It's just that
The imperial brother was just involved in other matters." Princess Yunluo said.
Qin Yuelou could tell that she did think so.
"Yes, the emperor is also a person who is not free in a prison." Qin Yuelou nodded.
Although he didn't know much about Dajing's political system, he also knew what the political system of Dajing was like. The monarch's power was not centralized. Although there was a cabinet established with the post of cabinet minister as an advisor, the cabinet minister did not have much power.
There are also three provinces and six ministries, but the three provinces and six ministries have relatively greater real power.
But judging from the presence of demons and ghosts, there should be a specialized agency in Dajing to deal with these incidents, but he just couldn't access it.
The other behemoths are the aristocratic families. There are as many as four aristocratic families in Dajing, namely Zhao, Qian, Sun, and Li. The existence of these aristocratic families is like four mountains.
In fact, Qin Yuelou also knew a little about the aristocratic family.
This was the case in the Tang Dynasty in the previous life. In the Tang Dynasty, the factions of officials and the connections between aristocratic families were all based on clans, which were known in history as the Seven Sects and Five Hopes.
These clans not only have a lofty status in society, but also have a prestige that is echoed by everyone. These clans are intertwined and monopolize the hopes of poor students to make progress.
At that time, in order to better curb the seven sects and five surnames, Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty prohibited marriage on his own. He thought that he could break up the family through in-laws. However, it had little effect.
Not to mention that in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, all the monarchs were committed to destroying the clans, because the reputation of these clans among the people far exceeded the imperial power.
Thousands of years of heritage have created a powerful family, and at the same time, the talent and learning of young talents have become secondary to governing the country, and the primary priority has become family background.
Nowadays, although the imperial examination system has been implemented, it has achieved little success. Because of the weakening of imperial power, those with real talents and practical knowledge will also be recruited by aristocratic families. Those who can be recruited are recruited, and those who cannot be recruited are suppressed. People often say that officials protect each other.
The same is true between gate valves.
The background of the clan is not worse than that of Dajing. In other words, there will also be high-level combat power or magic weapons among the clan. After all, there were as many as ten clans in the past, but why?
Now there are only four families left? If there were no extraordinary factors involved, Qin Yuelou would never believe it.
Therefore, if the current emperor of Dajing was an unprincipled and ignorant king, he would probably be able to enjoy his time in peace and quiet.
However, the appearance of Dajing can be said to be smooth and peaceful for the country and the people, which proves that this emperor is indeed an emperor who cares for the country. He may not be a wise emperor, but he is not an unprincipled emperor.
It was just a wall formed by aristocratic families that surrounded the emperor.
"Perhaps Li Jie's father was killed because he got involved in the aristocratic family." Qin Yuelou thought in his mind.
But Princess Yunluo was also a little unhappy. Although she was not familiar with the world, she had a very close relationship with the emperor's brother and sister. Seeing her emperor's sad face all day long, she naturally felt sorry for him.
Qin Yuelou also noticed that Princess Yunluo suddenly became depressed.
So he sat in front of Princess Yunluo.
"Okay, don't be unhappy. Let me do a trick for you. What do you think this is? It's a peach. Do you want to eat it?" Qin Yuelou asked Princess Yunluo. He decided to talk slowly. After all,
This is just a girl. Being too radical will only make the girl develop a rebellious mentality.
It is also important to have a certain amount of relaxation and a balance between work and rest.
"I won't eat. Do you know that you were so aggressive just now? It's a good thing that Princess Yunluo didn't punish you with death." Princess Yunluo looked at Qin Yuelou's face and felt a lot relieved.
Qin Yuelou rolled his eyes: "My brothers are all very powerful. If you dare to punish me with death, tomorrow my brothers will take the lead in storming your palace. Do you believe it?"
"You, you, you, you are so brave!" Princess Yunluo pointed at Qin Yuelou and shouted.
"Eat peach, don't you, you, you, by the way, do you want to smile? I think you will look pretty when you smile." Qin Yuelou said to Princess Yunluo.
Princess Yunluo looked angrily at Qin Yuelou holding the peach, feeling that Qin Yuelou looked like a giant monkey.
So she burst out laughing.
"No, no, no, Mr. Qin, my father wants to cut down the peach tree tomorrow, and he is like a demon. Can you come to help? It was the old Taoist priest who asked me to come to you for help.
." Yuchi Hui's voice came from the door.
——
Yu Chijing looked at the young lady who had not yet left the palace, sitting in front of the mirror, combing her hair. He couldn't help but stepped forward, took the comb, and combed the hair of the woman named Tang Yunlang.
Tang Yunlang is what he calls Yun Niang.
Yun Niang said that she came from Luodu. She was originally a famous family in Luodu, but her family fell into decline. In her generation, the family dispersed, her parents died, and she was also displaced. She struggled to make a living in the wandering way. Fortunately, she had a chance to work with a famous pipa player.
After studying folk art, you can become a musician and perform as a performer. You performed as a performer all the way to Shengjing, and then entered a music studio to teach pipa.
The so-called music studio is actually a place where people are taught musical instruments and performs for specialized people. Among them are palace musicians and street performers. It can be said to be a training base for "artists".
But these "artists" have extremely high professionalism. Although some have a smooth road ahead and some have a bumpy road ahead, good people can still be stronger and better than so-called artists who have no talent or morality.
Yun Niang is not only a musician who teaches pipa, she is also often invited to play the pipa elsewhere.
According to others, his famous song "The Sound of Clear Spring" can make birds and animals stop and indulge in the beauty of the music.
Yu Chijing met Yun Niang at a banquet held by another family at the largest restaurant in Shengjing. His wife had been dead for three years at that time.
He couldn't help but be deeply fascinated by Yun Niang's skills, but it was more about emotion than etiquette. However, as he got older, Yuchi Hui, the only daughter, also revealed his sexual orientation towards the same sex, which made him
Quite a headache.
As a result, the relationship with Yun Niang gradually warmed up until today.
Yuchi Jing came to propose marriage to Yun Niang. Both Yun Niang's parents were traveling to Hexi, and Yu Chi Jing's parents had also passed away, so there was no obstacle to his proposal of marriage.
In the future, you just need to find an auspicious day to get married, and then you can welcome your bride and enter the bridal chamber.
No, Yuchi Jing is also enjoying a tender moment with Yun Niang.
Yu Chijing held the mahogany comb and carefully and gently combed Yun Niang's hair. He looked at Yun Niang's face in the mirror. Yun Niang was smiling shyly, but her eyes were full of joy.
"Jinglang, actually, the betrothal gift doesn't need to be that big. You just need to give me a pipa made by yourself." Yun Niang said.
"Fortunately, I learned from someone else, otherwise this would really have troubled me." Yuchi Jing said with a smile.
"But I also have a request for the pipa. I want the eighteen-year-old peach tree to be the pipa." Yun Niang held Yu Chijing's hand and rubbed half of her delicate face on the back of Yuchi Jing's hand.
"But shouldn't the pipa be made of paulownia or sandwood? Why would you want to use peach trees?" Yu Chijing was puzzled.
"Because peach blossoms attract good luck, and the peach tree in your yard is in bloom, I'm afraid some unscrupulous woman will seduce you."
Yu Chijing retracted his hand, and his originally gentle face became a bit sullen.
"Yunniang, don't say such words again." Yuchi Jing said, but Yunniang's eyes were fascinated, she picked up the pipa and started playing.
The rotating shaft plucked the strings three or two times, and there was emotion before the melody was formed. Then "The Sound of the Clear Spring" seemed to be played in reverse. The originally pleasant and soothing melody began to become coquettish, like the flapping of insect wings, but it turned out to be deceptive.
Magic sound.
The big strings were noisy like heavy rain, the small strings were like whispers, and they were playing in a jumbled manner. The notes in his ears were confused, and Yuchi Jing shook his head.
"Ms. sir, chop down that peach tree and make it into a pipa for me." Yun Niang said respectfully to Yuchi, her tone and face seeming to have changed.
That was his closest relative who was not related by blood, and was also his past lover.
"lady?!"
As a result, Yuchi Jing's last remaining consciousness was defeated.
"Okay, I will cut down that peach tree with my own hands and make it into a pipa for you." Yuchi Jing looked at Yun Niang lovingly, as if his feelings for his deceased lover were transferred to the enchantress in front of him.
"Okay, sir." Yun Niang's tone and tone were the same as that person's.
——
"Mr. Qin, for some reason my father became possessed after he came back. I tried to hold him back. You must help me." Yu Chihui shouted after Qin Yuelou in a hurry.
Princess Yunluo also followed curiously and came to join in the fun first.
"As soon as I said I wouldn't cut down the peach tree, I became obsessed with cutting down the peach tree. It shouldn't be out of my own thoughts, that is, it was caused by the intrusion of external forces. The peach tree itself has no value, but...
Well, I understand, I just went for the peach tree..." Qin Yuelou continued to analyze with limited information.
Seeing the two girls running behind him out of breath, Qin Yuelou had no choice but to hold the two girls in his arms, one on the left and the other on the right, and lead them over the walls.
Then, with his dream world bordering reality, a dream passage appeared in front of him, and he broke in directly.
Then he emerged from the other end of the dream passage and appeared directly in front of the peach tree.
Yu Chijing was coming over with an ax at this time, ready to cut down the peach tree.
Then Qin Yuelou spit out a blue flame and burned the ax into molten iron.
"Get some sleep." Qin Yuelou said. The combination of the dream marriage technique and instant hypnosis made Yuchi Jing fall asleep standing up.
After looking around carefully, Qin Yuelou spoke.
"Judging from the condition of the dream body, your father was cast a spell, which caused the spell to be confusing and caused his mental cognition to change. However, the problem is not big and I can handle it." Qin Yuelou said, "
Wait for me for a moment, I'll go and come back."
But he glanced at the tall peach tree.
For no reason, I thought of an additional version of "Xiang Ji Xuan Zhi".
[There is a loquat tree in the courtyard. My wife planted it the year she died. It is now as tall as a canopy.
To win the little lady's smile, I will attack her now.】
