The little girl touched her hair that had been styled into a fairy bun by Xu Qingpan, jumped down from the chair, and ran out, apparently to find her sister Su.
During this period of time, Su Qian has conquered Xiao Ruxue with absolute force. No matter where Su Qian goes, Xiao Ruxue follows her, just like a follower. Moreover, Su Qian's progress is getting faster and faster.
Of course Xu Qing is also fast.
Su Qian's rapid progress was due to "The Sun and the Moon", to the martial arts classics sent by various military commanders in the court, and to the martial arts classics Xiao Ruxue brought from the palace.
Of course, it also took Su Qian's extraordinary talent, such mastery, and his diligent study and practice with Xu Qing to become the Su Qian he is today.
Xu Qing can't compare to this. His attitude towards martial arts is limited to physical fitness and self-defense. Therefore, he is far less proficient in martial arts than Su Qian.
If sorted according to force value, it would be: Su Qian＞Xiao Ruxue＞Xu Qing.
Xu Qing's start was too late. His bones were already set when he was practicing martial arts. It would be a miracle to achieve even half of Su Qian's achievements in this life.
Prince Xian's Mansion
Since it was the wedding of His Royal Highness, the Prince's Mansion was naturally decorated in an extremely gorgeous manner.
Although King Xian seems a little hasty in the choice of time, the layout of the scene is not at all hasty.
It was already nightfall, and the entire Xianwang Mansion was brightly lit, as bright as day.
At the gate of Prince Xian's Mansion, there are special people checking invitations and, of course, accepting invitations.
The old rule is that you are not allowed to bring gifts or anything in. If anyone comes with a gift, just put it in the special place for stacking gifts outside the door.
There is also a person singing the salute at the door:
"Master Li, Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, is sending you an authentic work of the sage Wang Xizhi, worth 8,000 taels!"
"Master Zhang, the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment, gives you a pair of jade bracelets, worth five thousand taels!"
"Your Majesty, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, would like to give you a set of white jade floating cloud bottles, worth six thousand taels!"
"Prime Minister Qin gave me a set of blue-domed carved bottles, worth seven thousand taels!"
"Master Song, the imperial censor..."
"Jiang Xiang..."
"Lord Wang..."
…
…
Naturally, the envoy of Zhou State also received the invitation, but looking at and listening to the voice, it was indeed a bit harsh. Are all the officials of Da Chu so rich? Give away anything of six thousand taels or five thousand taels casually?
Is it stupid?
Finally, the deputy envoy of Zhou State came to the queue. With an embarrassed look on his face, the deputy envoy of Zhou State handed over a banknote.
The person singing the ceremony: "Zhou Guo, fifty taels..."
This opening formed a sharp contrast, directly cutting two zeros from the lowest five thousand taels.
This made the faces of the envoys who came with the deputy envoy of the State of Zhou feel hot. How could they do anything about it?!
But the problem is not here yet. The question is what did the person singing the ceremony say?
"Zhou Guo, fifty taels!"
If so, it would only be enough for him to say fifty taels for the deputy envoy of the State of Zhou or fifty taels for the envoy of the Zhou State. Although it is small, at least they can go in shamelessly without saying a word. No one knows them anyway, but singing the ceremony
But what the person said was "Zhou Guo, fifty taels!"
It does not represent a person or a group, but a country, a huge Zhou State, and it gave fifty taels of silver! It is not as much as a fraction of a random official in the Chu State.
Hearing it in their ears seemed to hurt their self-esteem even more.
Just when the deputy envoy of the State of Zhou was about to pretend that he had not seen it and walked in, there were some comments on the side.
…
"Is this what Zhou is like? How dare he take fifty taels? It's so embarrassing!"
"Fifty taels per country...tsk, tsk, tsk..."
"Zhou Guo, isn't that good..."
"Hahaha, Zhou Guo, fifty taels, I'm laughing so hard!"
"Is this the face of Zhou people?"
"Really, it's thicker than the corners of the city wall!"
"..."
…
After these voices came, some of the envoys of the Zhou State showed anger. They actually made the Chu State, which had suffered a year of disaster, look down on them? How unreasonable!
At this time, the envoy behind Zhou's deputy envoy suddenly took out a banknote from his arms: "Five hundred taels!"
Another envoy took out the banknote from his sleeve: "Eight hundred taels!"
"Six hundred taels!"
"One thousand taels!"
…
The deputy envoy of the State of Zhou was unmoved when he heard these voices. He just kept a sullen face and refused to pay a penny more. These were all the money he had worked hard to get. How could he do it because of a small country like Chu?
The little boy took out his money obediently?
As long as he has no morals, no one can kidnap him!
It was at this moment that voices of opposition emerged.
"Giving more or less money depends on personal wishes. You are committing moral kidnapping! It's shameful!"
"That's right! The Kingdom of Zhou has a vast territory and rich resources. The deputy envoy is dignified, handsome and graceful. How can it be only fifty taels? This is called low-key! Do you understand low-key?!"
"Are you washing land for Zhou? You are simply pretending to be Chu people!"
"Haha, I'm just telling the truth. It's shameful for people like you to kidnap your morals. If the Chu Kingdom were like you, I would rather go to the Zhou Kingdom!"
"Presumptuous! Do you know what you are talking about?"
"I said what happened to the Deputy Envoy, who is handsome and handsome, and has a wealth of money? I said that the Kingdom of Zhou has a vast land and rich resources. What happened to not closing the door at night and not picking up things on the road? What happened to yearning for the Kingdom of Zhou? Mr. Deputy Envoy, please give me your opinion. Am I right?"
Seeing someone supporting him, the Deputy Envoy of the State of Zhou immediately held his head high and said: "That's right, our Zhou Dynasty has a vast land and rich products, and we don't pick up lost things on the road! These fifty taels are a low-key act of the Deputy Envoy. How can you people from the Chu State be like this?"
Blind and blind!"
The man just now said angrily: "That's right, they dare to look down on the deputy envoy. This is fifty taels that symbolizes the friendship between Zhou and Chu, and it is the price of goods. How can ordinary people like them understand?"
The deputy envoy of the State of Zhou admired the person who spoke for him more and more: "That's right! How can ordinary people like you from Chu State understand this? Is this deputy envoy a man with little money?"
The man continued: "Since these common people are blind and do not understand the deputy envoy's good intentions, I think it is better for these common people to use vulgar things to shut them up! In order to prevent these common people from looking down on the deputy envoy!"
"What you say makes sense! What a bunch of vulgar people! I am ashamed to be associated with you!" After saying this, the deputy envoy of Zhou State became excited. He took out a stack of banknotes from his arms and slapped them on the table.
After the person singing the ceremony counted them clearly, he gathered the rest of the people together and said, "Thirteen thousand taels from the Kingdom of Zhou!"
…
"Ah! The Zhou Kingdom is indeed a big country, with a size of thirteen thousand taels!"
"I admire it, I admire it!"
"Yes, yes, it's not simple. The Kingdom of Zhou is really not simple!"
"..."
When the deputy envoy of Zhou State heard these compliments, he walked in with a smile on his face and his head held high.
Only the many envoys behind them were left standing there. They used part of the money they had accumulated over the years as a favor for Da Zhou. The total amount was only three thousand taels in total. It would hurt the body, but it would not hurt the muscles.
Move bones.
Although they were angry at the contemptuous remarks of those despicable Chu people, they were still very restrained.
Although the country is important, money is more important in their hearts.
But how come the deputy envoy gives you ten thousand taels apiece! Where did you get so much money? Did you even use your old capital?
Ten thousand taels!
Isn’t this a complete advantage to Chu State?
After the other envoys followed the deputy envoy of Zhou State and walked in, one of them couldn't help but turn his head and look towards the door.
I saw that the group of people who were belittling Zhou State just now and the group of people who praised their Zhou State were happily getting together, high-fiving each other, and clapping their hands to count money.
