Chapter 793: I have never seen a powerful person bullying men and women
Xuanyuan!
Xuanyuan?
Jiang Qingzhi covered his head and looked at the man.
Countless thoughts flashed through my mind.
His surname was Ji and his name was Xuanyuan.
This is the ancestor of the Chinese nation.
The man looked at Jiang Qingzhi and smiled, "My descendants in the future will call me... the Yellow Emperor!"
boom!
The picture was completely shattered.
Countless fragments of memory appeared before Jiang Qingzhi's eyes.
The farmers are working on the fields.
Those craftsmen are making objects.
The children were reading with their heads shaking.
Those officials are running around.
Those soldiers rushed into the grasslands and drove away those foreign races...
He saw a man walking to the bank of a river, pointing at it and saying, "This water is called Xia. So, I will establish a country called Xia!"
boom!
Everything in front of me fades away.
Jiang Qingzhi panted and looked around blankly, but apart from the big tripod, there were only those supplies.
It seemed as if he had just had a dream.
There was still some of that majestic aura left, even if it was just a little bit, it still made Jiang Qingzhi feel a fear that he could not resist.
It seemed that as long as he had the thought of resisting, this great will could easily turn him into dust.
But somehow, the fear was fading.
An inexplicable feeling of emotion welled up in my heart.
The majestic aura gradually became gentle, as if soothing him.
Jiang Qingzhi slowly opened his eyes, and without knowing when, tears began to stream down his face.
"Husband!"
Li Tian still had a cloth wrapped around her forehead and was shouting anxiously in front of the bed.
"Uh!" Jiang Qingzhi let go of his hand, "I'm fine."
"I was scared to death." Li Tian reached out and touched his forehead, then his heartbeat, then...
"Where? Where are you putting your hands?" Jiang Qingzhi said unhappily, "Do you want to try the breath? Oh, and see if I am a ghost from a thousand years ago."
"My husband is talking nonsense again." Li Tian said angrily, "Just now they said that my husband suddenly covered his head and screamed, I was just worried..."
"Even Altan couldn't kill me, so who else in this world can kill me?" Jiang Qingzhi stretched lazily, "Get up!"
At this moment, he felt refreshed and even forgot about the country's destiny.
In the space, the purple color became increasingly intense, and the surrounding space was visibly strengthening.
The big cauldron was turning slowly, as if it had just taken a tonic pill and was just about to burp.
"Qingzhi!"
The old dandy and the duke's wife are here.
"What a happy event!" The two families had a deep friendship, so there was no need to avoid the distinction between men and women. As soon as Zhu Xizhong came in, he smiled and said, "What a happy event."
"What's the good news? Are you going to be a grandfather?"
Jiang Qingzhi said casually.
Then, he saw Zhu Xizhong and the Duke's wife looking at him in surprise.
The old playboy pointed at Jiang Qingzhi and said, "Da Lang's wife was just diagnosed with pregnancy. How did you know that?"
What the hell!
Jiang Qingzhi was also confused, and then he said calmly: "The art of looking at qi is just a minor art."
The Duke's wife looked at Jiang Qingzhi suspiciously, "How about... Qingzhi see if sister-in-law might... might do that again..."
I was just making it up, but you two took it seriously.
Jiang Qingzhi didn't notice his wife's strange expression and thought of his mother.
"I'm just saying it, but this is really a happy event, just in time... Yan'er, ask the kitchen to prepare some delicious dishes and wine for the family dinner today."
Jiang Qingzhi changed the subject.
The two sides exchanged pleasantries and talked about each other's recent situation.
Jiang Qingzhi kept it to himself and didn't tell anyone about Zhu Shitai's situation.
Zhu Xizhong was able to remain calm at first, but in autumn the sun sets early, and when it got dark, he could no longer hold back. While the two women were choosing the gifts Jiang Qingzhi had brought, he grabbed Jiang Qingzhi and said viciously, "You, as an uncle, didn't even tell me about Dalang's recent situation in the letter, and you still dared to keep it a secret. Believe it or not, I will send ten or eight women into the mansion. I will make your backyard a fire."
Jiang Qingzhi laughed, "If you have the ability, then you can send it. It just so happens that there are still a few guards in my family who are not married yet."
"You!" the old dandy sighed, "Go ahead! Tell me both the bad news and the good news."
Jiang Qingzhi took out the medicinal cigarette, "Hey!"
"What's the matter?"
"this!"
"Let me light a cigarette for you?" The old dude jumped three feet high, totally losing the image of a duke.
"Just a joke." Jiang Qingzhi was relaxed at the moment. After lighting the incense stick, he slowly said, "In this battle, Dalang and his men made great contributions. In addition..."
"What else?"
"Da Lang kills the enemy with a sword!"
The definition of a warrior in this era is: killing the enemy with hand-to-hand weapons!
That is close combat.
Close combat is the greatest test of a person's courage and ability.
As for the musket... to be honest, shooting the opponent from a long distance was, in the eyes of people at that time, almost like playing games in later generations.
So when the old dude heard his son killing the enemy with a sword, he was stunned.
"That child..."
Jiang Qingzhi took a puff of herbal cigarette and said, "I have arranged for someone to work under him, and there has been news."
"Thank you very much." The old playboy suddenly choked up, and Jiang Qingzhi was stunned. "I say... Old Zhu, you are too much!" "You don't know." The old playboy shook his head, "Since I was a child, my teacher and my parents have been telling me every day that the future of the Duke's Mansion depends on you. You have to study hard, practice hard, and... that life is really not a life for a human being."
Jiang Qingzhi sighed, "I understand."
The so-called children of wealthy families don’t actually have an easy life, especially the eldest son.
"Just like when Dalang was a child, I also wanted to leave it all behind, but I couldn't! I had no choice but to endure it. Not only did I have to study, but I also had to practice martial arts. My father got drunk at the beginning and sighed a lot, saying that the reputation of our ancestors was completely gone in our generation. When will the Zhu family have a son who is both good at literature and martial arts? As a father, I will die with my eyes closed."
Zhu Xizhong beat his chest and said, "I once dreamed of joining the army to kill the enemy, but after going to the battle with you, I realized that I was not cut out for it.
The Duke's Mansion is just as you said. If it continues like this, the descendants will only rely on the reputation of their ancestors and the trust of the emperor to make a living. Such a Duke Cheng..."
Zhu Xizhong looked at Jiang Qingzhi and said, "I feel like I am worse off than a dog!"
Old Zhu was moved. "What do you think?"
"Not as good as Yan Song." Jiang Qingzhi said.
"Yes! Yan Song at least has the ability to govern the Ming Dynasty. I am ashamed of myself." Zhu Xizhong shook his head and smiled bitterly. "To be honest, I was quite uneasy about Dalang going with you to the battle this time. I wanted to stop him, but standing in front of the ancestral tablets, I felt a little ashamed of my ancestors. In the end, I let him go.
This journey is thousands of miles long, and it is uncertain whether it will be good or bad... Qingzhi, let me tell you something that will make you laugh, but I have been burning three sticks of incense to my ancestors every morning these days, praying for them to protect Dalang."
Zhu Xizhong pointed at his chest. "Here! I'm suffering day and night, worried that something has happened to Dalang. Even my dreams are nightmares at night, and I wake up in a cold sweat. But I dare not tell my wife..."
"Husband!"
Outside the door, the Duke's wife, who had been listening for an unknown amount of time, walked in slowly.
The old dandy wiped the tears from his face and said sternly, "I was just talking nonsense with Qingzhi."
The Duke's wife walked up to him and said, "I thought you had an idea."
"I..." The old dandy had no idea what was going on.
"So, all those good news about Dalang were just tricks you used to fool me?"
"My lady, I am not..."
Li Tian looked at Jiang Qingzhi outside and said: Why don’t you come out quickly?
Jiang Qingzhi quietly went out and went to the bedroom with his wife, "You are still in confinement after childbirth, be at ease!"
"It's been almost half a month." Li Tian was wearing thick clothes. After entering the house, she took off her outer clothes and said with a smile: "The Duke's wife once complained to me that she was worried about Dalang's safety, but she didn't dare to show any of it, for fear of making her husband more worried."
"Is this love?" Li Tian asked.
Jiang Qingzhi held her hand. "Yes."
Everyone has different ways of expressing love. Jiang Qingzhi would just smile foolishly while holding his child, or give the child a kiss, or put his face against the child's.
Dinner is ready.
Today is a family dinner.
Apart from Zhu Xizhong and his wife, there was only Xia Yan.
Sun Chonglou went to the front yard and ate with Fucheng. It was said that Fucheng personally cooked several dishes, which even the chef was quite impressed. But Huang Yaner said to Li Tian in private: I tasted the dish and it was hard to describe.
The cook is flattering Fucheng.
Jiang Qingzhi felt that this kind of officialdom habit was unacceptable, but when he thought of Sun Chonglou's straightforward character, he couldn't help but laugh.
……
"Is it delicious?" Fu Cheng rubbed his hands and watched Sun Chonglou eat a piece of mutton he had cooked.
Sun Chonglou chewed it for a few times.
"Is it unpalatable? Or good?" Fucheng asked again.
"Where is the dog?" Sun Chonglou asked.
"outside."
Sun Chonglou went out, opened his mouth and spit out the mutton.
The dog came over and ate it in one mouthful.
Then, he opened his mouth and spit it out.
……
At the family dinner in the backyard, Zhu Xizhong and Xia Yan toasted each other, while Jiang Qingzhi drank by himself. According to Zhu Xizhong, he was weak and had a hard trip, so he should rest and drink less.
After three rounds of drinking, Xia Yan stroked his beard and said, "People outside are speculating on how His Majesty will reward Qingzhi. What do you think, Duke?"
Zhu Xizhong said, "If it is a title, I actually think it is meaningless."
"Why?"
"Why does Lord Xia pretend not to know?" Zhu Xizhong smiled. "If the reward is too much now, how will Your Majesty use it to celebrate in the future?"
Xia Yan nodded, "But I have a solution."
"What method?"
"Self-pollution!"
"Huh?" Zhu Xizhong was startled. He immediately pulled Jiang Qingzhi away.
"Where are we going?" Jiang Qingzhi was pulled out of the Bo's house by him.
"There is no time to lose, the sooner the better!" Zhu Xizhong shrank back in fear due to the autumn wind. "I just know that someone is preparing to deal with you. He said that they will discuss the matter over a drink at Baiyun Tower after leaving the government office. Let's go!"
The two of them went to Baiyun Tower while still drunk. When the madam saw Jiang Qingzhi, her eyes lit up immediately.
"Long Wilbur!"
Most of the people in the hall are powerful and noble, or at least meat eaters with some wealth.
At this moment, most of the topics were about Jiang Qingzhi and the great victory. When the madam's exaggerated scream was heard, all other sounds disappeared for a moment.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Zhu Xizhong pointed at the table on the right and said, "That's the guy!"
Jiang Qingzhi walked over.
Question: "Li Qing?"
The man nodded and said with a smile: "My sister is in the palace..."
My sister is the Taoist's woman, what do you want, Jiang Qingzhi?
"Oh! It's the concubine!" Jiang Qingzhi said casually and picked up the stool.
"How dare you humiliate..." The man stood up, just in time to be hit by Jiang Qingzhi's stool.
Bah!
The man covered his forehead, staggered back, pointed at Jiang Qingzhi, and fell heavily with a bang.
Jiang Qingzhi clapped his hands, looked at everyone, and said with a smile: "What are you looking at? Have you never seen powerful people bullying men and women?"
