Chapter two hundred and sixty fourth skyrocketing figure
"Sister is really smart. She is scared, worried, and trembling. She wants to get along with the Thirteenth Prince when he is weak. These are the thoughts of the big shots in the Chamber of Commerce. As my sister expected, with the protection of the Barbarian King and the Chamber of Commerce,
People simply don’t dare to take action.”
At this point, Ji Xiaohe's words suddenly stopped. Looking at the lights of thousands of houses in the distance, she suddenly said with some sadness: "Sister, you said, under the circumstances that cannot resist and cannot be killed in advance, those in the Chamber of Commerce
How will the big man choose?"
Jinyun Chamber of Commerce is a businessman. They don't have the bravery of warriors, the fearless pride of swordsmen, but they have the sophistication and tact of the world.
Therefore, even if she was not there, Ji Hongdie still thought about the choices of those businessmen.
"Turn enemies into friends. Since you can't be hostile, turn your enemies into friends."
"Sister, you are still smart. Do you think that is the best way to tie people's hearts?"
There is also that, of course, it is a marriage. If you choose a friendship, the girl cultivated by the family will be the prince's pillow. The power of the pillow wind, you will know how terrifying it is when you think about it.
Moreover, this era is still ancient, and it is an era that pays attention to blood. It is not like modern equality between men and women, and there is no such thing as a DINK clan.
In this world, passing on offspring is a very important thing. There are three types of unfilial piety. Having no offspring is the worst. Having offspring is a big deal in this world. Therefore, even if those girls are not liked, if they are born with Lu Chen
After having a child, Lu Chen couldn't ignore it.
And even if this doesn't work and Lu Chen doesn't want to take care of the child, those people will still make money. You must understand that in this era, the children of the strong will mostly inherit the excellent genes of the strong.
Lu Chen doesn't like children, so they can definitely adopt him. By then, a strong man will most likely be born in the family.
It can be said that marriage in this world is a completely profitable thing, and therefore, almost all family alliances are based on marriage.
However, this kind of thing is very good for those families, and it is not a loss for Lu Chen. Being able to be served by beautiful girls and receiving materials from those families is indeed a good thing.
But for Ji Hongdie, it was a natural disaster.
And Ji Xiaohe's words are not over yet: "Now, our exchange with the barbarians is about to begin. Those merchant families are worried about the ideas of the Yunzhou Kingdom and the wealthy factions and do not dare to act rashly. But when the exchange competition is over, Thirteen
When His Highness the Prince builds a village, they will definitely do it quickly."
"At that time, there will be a large number of excellent and beautiful girls going to His Highness the Thirteenth Prince. You should have seen those girls and sisters. Each of them is no worse than you. Moreover, those girls will bring a large amount of dowry, which is ten
The supplies that His Highness the Third Prince needs most, how can you fight with them?"
These words made Ji Hongdie's mentality explode. She wanted to refute, but she didn't know what to say.
And Ji Xiaohe's words continued: "You know, when the seventh cousin's mother was given to the Barbarian King, she was just like you now, angry and unwilling, but now, she is very different from our family.
It's intimacy, do you know why?"
"She needs the Ji family's support."
"Yes, the Barbarian King has more than one woman, and in order to live a better life in the royal court, our aunt must have the support of our Ji family. Therefore, even though she was angry, she repaired the relationship with our family. When she gave birth to a child
, her status in the royal court is slightly higher, and her children have become princes, but she has not disconnected from the Ji family, but has become closer to the Ji family. "
"For the Seventh Prince?"
It is good for a child to become a prince, but there is never more than one prince. The mother of the seventh prince considers her children, no matter how much she thinks in her heart, her relationship with the Ji family becomes closer.
It can only be said that marriage and the girl you married are just the root of the tie, and the more important thing is the family power behind it.
Therefore, those big families are not afraid of the resentment of girls who have been married off. They need the support of their families. At the same time, in this world, it is difficult for a strong person with a little will to be seduced by beauty.
"A person who is seduced by beauty cannot become a great person. Even if such a person loves his own girl, he will not have the strength to take revenge."
Of course, there are also people who are powerful and only marry one girl, but such cases are too rare. Instead of worrying about meeting such a person, the Ji family is more worried about being affected by the aftermath of the battle between strong men.
At least, the probability of the latter is much greater than the former.
Ji Xiaohe talked a lot to Ji Hongdie, and those words made Hongdie's face keep changing. She was thinking and wanted to refute Ji Xiaohe's words.
But she found that her thinking had turned into a dead end. No matter how she thought about it, she found that when other girls came with large dowries, it would be difficult for her to compete.
However, it would be absolutely unbearable for her to resolve her grievances with the Ji family.
Ji Xiaohe did not force her too much, and just said to her: "Sister, I know it is difficult for you to make a decision, and I ask you to think about it slowly after you go back. But remember, you don't have much time. After the exchange competition,
, that’s when other big families take action.”
After saying this, a scroll appeared in her hand.
"This is the spirit snake dance. After practicing it, you can increase your body's flexibility. Your Highness, the Thirteenth Prince, is too strong. This will make you feel better."
After hesitating for a moment, Ji Hongdie still took the scroll, which meant that Ji Hongdie was about to give in.
This is the tragedy of having no strength of her own and can only rely on others. She cannot freely choose her own life at all.
However, what surprised Ji Hongdie was that after she took the scroll, Ji Xiaohe was not happy, but instead sighed.
This made her a little curious: "I gave in, but you don't seem happy."
"Should I be happy?" Looking at the distant scenery outside, she sighed: "I have said before that my current situation is the same as yours."
Ji Xiaohe's words were very vague, but Ji Hongdie already understood something.
That girl in the boudoir has no girlish dreams. Even in the hinterland of Yunzhou, there are many young talents who marry from Yunzhou, and there are many people who elope for love.
Compared with Yunzhou's talented men, marrying a barbarian prince is definitely the most tragic kind.
Not to mention that most barbarians are uneducated, unlike the Yunzhou people who have high literacy in addition to martial arts.
The difference in body shape alone makes Yunzhou girls suffer a lot. It can be said that no one would want to come here if possible.
However, nothing is perfect in the world. Those girls in the family are enjoying the support of the family. When the family is in need, it is also the time when they must give. But without power, they have no choice at all.
However, with these thoughts in her mind, Ji Hongdie couldn't help but say: "The Thirteenth Prince is different from other princes."
"It is indeed different. Our Prince has the appearance of a overlord!"
"I'm not just talking about strength. His Royal Highness the Thirteenth Prince is smarter than other barbarians, and he is also willing to give us girls some opportunities."
Thinking like this, Ji Hongdie thought of the things she was responsible for. Even in Yunzhou, few people would leave the material rationing to the girl.
It can only be said that Lu Chen doesn't mind if women become middle-level and high-level people, as long as they show enough strength, and this is difficult to achieve whether in Yunzhou or Barbarian.
Because of this, Ji Hongdie had a subconscious desire to protect Lu Chen.
Of course, this mentality is somewhat abnormal. If it were in reality, Ji Hongdie's situation would be Stockholm Syndrome.
This symptom refers to a complex in which the victim develops feelings for the offender and even helps the offender in turn.
This emotion can cause the victim to develop a favorable impression of, dependence on, and even assist the offender.
Such symptoms would be treated in reality, but now, no one can treat them. Therefore, as long as Lu Chen does not completely abandon Ji Hongdie, she will continue to assist Lu Chen under the constraints of Stockholm syndrome and the morality of this era.
Ji Hongdie and Ji Xiaohe talked a lot, and even at the end, Ji Hongdie comforted Ji Xiaohe and told her not to be so afraid of the Thirteenth Prince.
It wasn't until it was getting late that Ji Hongdie walked towards home. This was also the reason why Ji Hongdie didn't appear immediately when Lu Chen called just now.
Ji Hongdie, who returned, was in a bad mood because she learned that other girls were coming, but after looking at the secret book of the Spirit Snake Dance in her hand, she slowly had new ideas in her heart.
"Having learned the spirit snake dance and possessing the spirit snake waist, it will be easier for me to serve His Highness the Prince. If so, I can serve my husband more. If I get pregnant before the territory is established, then I will win.
"
Thinking of this, Ji Hongdie finally showed a smile on her face.
"I'll take the time to practice today."
With this thought, Ji Hongdie put away the scroll and went straight to the bathhouse where Lu Chen was.
When she came over, Lu Chen also happened to come out.
"You're back."
Looking at Ji Hongdie, Lu Chen didn't feel much. But when Ji Hongdie saw Lu Chen's figure clearly, she was stunned. The items in her hand fell to the ground out of surprise, and her whole head was even dizzy.
She lowered her head to look at the spiritual snake dance secret book on the ground, and then looked up at her husband's figure. Ji Hongdie was about to cry.
"Why is it getting bigger again and soaring so much?"
"This technique is no longer useful."
No wonder Ji Hongdie was about to burst into tears, it was really the change in Lu Chen in front of her that was too unexpected.
"Husband... Sir husband, what's wrong with you? I remember when we went out, you were only over two meters tall. Why are you three-and-a-half meters tall now?"
Yes, Ji Hongdie was so frightened that she almost cried because she found that her husband had suddenly grown in size. The moment she went out, she went from more than two meters to more than three meters. In such a situation, she couldn't help but
