Chapter 199: Seeking Seeds (Asking for monthly votes!)
"If you don't fight, you fight. If you fight, you don't fight." Zhao Zongji said as if he was enlightened: "I understand what to do! In these years, my heart has never been so open!"
"This path may not progress quickly, but it is definitely the right one. A drop of water will pierce a rock, and a rope will cut a tree. As long as there is enough time, the energy will definitely change and you will leap over the dragon's gate!" Chen Ke said solemnly.
"Yes." Zhao Zongji nodded heavily and said: "Looking at it this way, we are right to block the road. We were too far behind them before. Even if we catch up, it will not be possible overnight. On the contrary, they are delaying the time more and more.
The longer you go, the more nervous you become.”
"That's exactly the reason." Chen Ke nodded and smiled: "Okay, I have said everything that should be said and should not be said. My stomach is completely empty. It's already noon, you don't care about food."
"Hi..." Zhao Zongji said, "Of course I'm in charge of the food."
Lunch was still served in the water pavilion, and Zhao Zongji asked people to summon Zhang and the young princess to eat together. In fact, the two women had been at the water pavilion not far away, watching the two men talking loudly there, although they didn't know they were talking.
What, but seeing that Zhao Zongji was in high spirits instead of forcing a smile, he was naturally very happy.
During the dinner, although the little princess was a little shy, she still maintained the elegance and elegance of Tianhuang's noble daughter. She enjoyed the food elegantly while listening to the conversation between her brother and Chen Ke. When the other party looked at her, she would always reciprocate.
Smile just right, and speak softly when encountering topics that interest you.
For example, Du Qingshuang sang Chen Ke's "Mulan Ci" with her own music, which aroused the little princess's interest. She sincerely praised: "Why haven't I thought of adapting the original score to adapt to such wonderful words?
I heard Sister Du sing it once, and the lyrics and music were so perfect that I was hooked right away."
As she spoke, the little princess looked at Chen Ke with a pair of big, talkative eyes and said with a smile: "My sister also wants to learn how to make her own songs, but Sister Du refuses to teach her, so she has to ask the young master. ("")
Third brother, has she asked you?"
"Well, I haven't seen her for a long time, so I haven't heard her ask." Chen Ke said with a slight embarrassment: "But just follow her example and say it was me who said it."
"What if she thinks I'm cheating?" the little princess said coquettishly.
"I'll just write a note." Chen Ke said with a smile: "The theory of self-tuning is not yet mature, and we need the advice of an expert like the little princess who is well versed in music theory."
"Since the third brother said so," the little princess pursed her lips and said with a smile, "my little sister is bold enough to do whatever she wants."
After a pleasant lunch, Mrs. Zhang and the little princess said goodbye to Chen Ke, and Zhao Zongji sent him to the front.
"I think..." On the way, he thought for a while and said, "You'd better go to Boyixuan."
"You are not kind." Chen Ke laughed and scolded: "I threw away the invitation, and you told me this again."
"Go to the appointment on time without an invitation." Zhao Zongji smiled sheepishly: "I was thinking, after all, this is the goodwill they released, and it can be considered very sincere. If you don't go, where will they show their face? When the time comes,
What if something goes wrong happens? Your spring is coming, so it’s better not to cause trouble."
"Yes." Chen Ke nodded and said, "Now that your knot has been resolved, I will go on a trip to see if I can be your envoy and try to calm things down with them."
"Thank you for your hard work." Zhao Zongji said softly.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Returning home from the palace, Chen Ke saw several incense carts parked in the alley. He was wondering why there were female guests at home, when he saw a guard coming up to him with a lewd smile. ""
"Why are you smiling like a prostitute?" Chen Ke cursed with a smile.
"Congratulations, Your Excellency, for your beautiful blessings," the guard said with a lewd smile, "This morning, four Japanese women came to ask for seeds. Each of them is as beautiful as a flower and has a graceful figure. They were so small that they dared to stay for Your Majesty."
"Seeking seeds?" Chen Ke was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "I didn't expect that I would become a celebrity."
The so-called "seeking seeds", also called "du Zhong", is actually a common name for self-recommended pillow mats. This is a unique phenomenon that has appeared in China since the Tang Dynasty... In neighboring countries such as Japan, Korea, Jiaozhi, and Uighurs, many small
Nobles and common people would try to send their beautiful daughters to Chang'an in the previous dynasty or Bianjing in this dynasty.
These women voluntarily serve the famous scholars and officials in the capital for free. When they become pregnant, they will say goodbye and return to their country. Before leaving, they will also ask the men they have served to write a letter to prove the noble blood of the child in their belly... to be more noble.
Not to brag, not to mention that the Tang Dynasty, where all nations came to dynasty, even today's 'weak Song', which is despised by later generations, is far more civilized than any country in the world at this time. And 70% of the world's
The GDP of the Song Dynasty was all created by the Song people. Therefore, in the eyes of the barbarians and foreigners at that time, the Song Dynasty was a kingdom of heaven and a great country. In the eyes of foreign countries, the Song people were excellent people and noble people. That is why the barbarians in foreign countries were so high.
Looking at the Song Dynasty, it is not surprising to think highly of the Song people.
In fact, this kind of 'sex' behavior is not surprising. Just think about the fact that some female compatriots in later generations rushed to attach themselves to European and American people, as if being slept with by white people would prove that they were attractive. You can understand the strong desire of foreigners at this time.
I have a complex of 'worshiping the Song Dynasty and bewitching the Han Dynasty'.
It is said that in Japan and Korea, which are the most fanatical about "breeding", most of these babies born from the Song Dynasty's breeding, if they are boys, can become the heirs of the family, and if they are girls, they will be rushed to be the wives of the wives.
, it’s really incredible...
However, Chen Ke was very tired of this. He did not begrudge his tadpoles, but in his previous life, he was extremely disgusted with the phenomenon of Chinese women being attached to foreigners. Although in the Song Dynasty, the situation was reversed, but do not do to others what you do not want others to do to you.
, he still has no interest in this kind of woman who admires Song Dynasty and charming Han Dynasty.
"Kick them all away." Chen Ke was worried that he would lose control when he saw the beautiful girl throwing herself into his arms, so he didn't even dare to take a look and directly asked the guards to chase them away: "Although I like beauties, I
, but not a stallion bred to humans!”
The guard did not dare to say anything more, so he had to drive the four Yingying Yanyan away from the yard. Chen Ke stood at the door, looking at the Japanese beauties who were so coquettish that they were willing to do whatever they wanted. As expected, he almost lost control.
So he was able to control it because when he saw there was a man inside, he immediately said angrily: "Why do you let a man come to borrow seeds? Oh no, Xiaobai, why are you here?"
"The rabbi sent me here," the young man turned out to be Bai Yiju, the younger brother of the shopkeeper Bai Yiju of Jiaozipu. When he saw Chen Ke again, Xiaobai became a lot more reserved, as if he was frightened by his shouting and swarming: "
He and Levi have already drawn up a contract, please tell me when the young master will be free to come over and sign the contract."
"It's better to choose a day than to hit it," Chen Ke said with a smile, "Today is enough." After saying this, he asked him to get in the car, and without going in, he turned straight to Blue Hat Street.
Returning to Lanmao Street, Chen Ke and his party caused a small commotion. Although they were foreigners, the Yizileye people had lived in Bianjing for nearly a hundred years, so they naturally knew the Ouchi guards of the Imperial City Division. What did they think?
When the important person arrived, he hurriedly reported to Li Wei and greeted him respectfully on the street.
Looking at Yici Leye people with their blue hats hanging down and humbly bending down all over the street, Chen Ke felt a sense of enlightenment in his heart... Even though he had ended his wandering for a thousand years, Yici Leye people still had to rely on others in Bianjing City.
I feel that, so I am so careful and respectful.
Thinking about it, it’s no wonder that in this city, they are so different; they feel so inferior in front of the most superior nation of this era, the people of the Song Dynasty. Therefore, integration is just an empty talk.
Looking forward to my own heaven...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Li Wei came out in a hurry. When he saw it was Chen Ke, he couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly said respectfully: "I'll invite you to my house."
When he arrived at the door of Li Wei's house, Chen Ke asked the guards not to follow him, and only took Song Duanping into the patriarch's home.
Li Wei's family can be regarded as the most wealthy among the family. Although their teachings advocate frugality, Li Wei still tried his best to live a better life. Therefore, Chen Ke saw the furniture and ornaments in his room, and even the calligraphy and paintings on the wall.
, all of them are excellent products. Obviously this old ghost knows how to enjoy life.
What was served was high-quality Tuancha tea, and the tea sets were also produced by the valuable Ge Kiln. Chen Ke always felt that this old gentleman seemed to be doing it deliberately and did not know what he wanted to express.
Li Wei was not in a hurry to call Lan Bi. He just said that he was praying and would not be here for a while. Then he asked his children and grandchildren to come out to see Chen Ke. Finally, he pulled over a young man wearing a Confucian robe and a square scarf and said
"This is my eldest grandson, his name is Li Han, and he is the candidate for this university competition!" He said with pride: "Next spring, if he passes the exam, as soon as we grant Leye Renzhong, there will be officials of the Song Dynasty.
Already."
"Yeah." Chen Ke nodded towards Li Han and said with a smile, "I didn't expect that we would meet him in the same year."
Although Li Han took the examination not for the Jinshi subject, but for the Mingshu subject. No matter which subject, he had to take the poetry, poetry and theory test, which required profound literary skills. Li Han was able to pass the exam, which shows that the study of Chinese in Ji Leye has gone beyond
It is limited to daily communication use, but is heading towards the most difficult imperial examination.
Li Han was still outside the Zhuangyuan Building yesterday, looking up at the two Jie Yuan's super battle. He didn't expect to see a living person today. It's hard to say anything exciting.
After letting the children chat with Chen Ke for a few words, Li Wei asked them to go down first.
There were only two of them left in the living room. Chen Ke gently put down the teacup and said, "What can Levi teach me?"
