Chapter 217 Waiting for Summer
It was a rainy day, it was raining outside, and there was a meeting in the palace.
Chen Taiyi was sitting on the throne belonging to the king of Jiangdong, listening to the reports of the people below.
The finance minister is talking about Jiangdong's current financial problems.
"Your Majesty, the restaurants and hotels operated by the Yushui Sect have paid more gold taxes this year than last year."
Chen Taiyi felt uncomfortable sitting on the throne and felt that the throne was a bit too big. She felt that a gentle older sister could sit on each side.
Sitting in the court hall was Chen Taiyi, and a few meters away to the left and right of Chen Taiyi were the two female prime ministers.
Huang Wanzhen and Kui Wenji are sitting on chairs. This is definitely not the position of a female prime minister, but the position of Chen Taiyi's wife.
Two women have always been in charge of government affairs, but now the two women have taken a back seat, and Chen Taiyi is expected to step in.
This world is not like the feudal era in ancient times, where a woman's status depends on her strength, status and her husband's family, rather than her gender.
Women are just rare, not impossible.
The people of the Song Dynasty did not do this because they were full, but their queen mother was still in power after returning from the Jin Kingdom. In addition, a large number of princesses, royal relatives and noble ladies became the prostitutes of the Jin people. After that, they began to emphasize these things.
But basically it refers to the lower class people. It is very common in this era for the lower class people to share one wife, or for a woman to have two husbands.
"Have the wild geese fallen down after looking at them?"
Of course, there is no evidence for this. It's just that Chen Taiyi was too bored and couldn't listen to those professional terms and ancient prose, so he came up with random things.
When Chen Taiyi was thinking about messy things, Kui Yuanqing told him a lot of precious materials that he thought were valuable.
Kui Yuanqing politely replied: "It is said that there is a stunning beauty in the Suzaku Kingdom in the Western Region who is eleven or twelve years old. Her beauty is unparalleled. Even the autumn geese in the sky will fall in shame when they see her appearance."
If you have not experienced humiliation, you will not care much about such things. In this world of high force, war is more cruel. From the monarch to the poor, everyone is willing to use marriage to avoid war.
"Summer is the time to build the tripod. The time has not yet come."
Chen Taiyi said calmly, then walked quickly and ran away in fear.
When everyone saw Chen Taiyi standing up, they quickly cheered up. They felt that the atmosphere began to become solemn, and countless people's hearts became nervous.
Chen Taiyi listened to the Finance Minister's introduction about the Yushui Sect's daily fortune, and felt that this man had received money from the Yushui Sect to say good things to those people.
"Your Majesty, no matter what materials you need right now, as long as you give the order, I will find them for you!"
In fact, it was the same in ancient times on earth. The reason why marriage was considered a shame was mainly because the relevant restrictions and shackles were strengthened from the Song Dynasty, and Zhu Xi was accepted by the Ming Dynasty, so it was passed down to the Ming Dynasty.
Kui Wenji and Huang Wanzhen also stood up quickly. Kui Wenji asked: "Your Majesty..."
"Your Majesty, the Suzaku Kingdom has presented a beautiful woman and Tiangang Earthly Evil Fire. The Jinwang City is also trying every possible means to collect ten thousand years of fine iron. Now that everything is ready, I wonder what else is needed to build the Jiangzhou Cauldron?"
Mrs. Chen thought for a while, "It's not that evil. It's just Luoyan. Xishi happens to have the appearance of a fish sinking. When she runs into the water and looks in the mirror, the little fish will sink into the water. Shen Yuluoyan is a perfect match."
Chen Taiyi nodded with satisfaction and said steadily: "I feel the sincerity there, but I don't know how they want to get married?"
Chen Taiyi quickly opened his eyes. His originally confused and lackluster eyes were filled with sparks of wisdom!
Chen Taiyi listened and felt sleepy again. At this moment, he suddenly thought of Tyrannosaurus.
Everyone is watching.
It's raining in the sky, it's quiet outside, there's only the sound of rain.
"Yes!" Kui Yuanqing was responsible for this matter, and he quickly began to explain the various rare treasures he had collected in the past few years from all over the world, and even from Jiangdong.
Chen Taiyi thought of another princess, Lingmeng Fairy, the princess of Zeguo.
Chen Taiyi sat quietly in his seat, feeling his thoughts spread from the solemn court hall to the rainy gray sky outside, looking down at this majestic and heavy building exuding mist and water spray.
Soon Kui Wenji's father Kui Yuanqing stood up and said respectfully: "Your Majesty! The Suzaku Kingdom of the Western Region wants to marry your Majesty!"
He seemed to be leaning back in his chair very seriously, as if he was thinking about something.
The wedding princess is also a beauty with the title of Luoyan. Why does it feel like such a coincidence?
Forget it, don't think so much about such happy things.
Chen Taiyi felt something was wrong. He looked so scary...
Looking at Chen Taiyi's look, Kui Wenji knew that she had to give this lethargic king a little boost of energy.
The relationship between men and women is also relatively open, and most of them don't actually pay attention to the concept of chastity.
Greymon, is this why you're hungry?
Chen Taiyi quickly thought of happy things again, and felt that he might have thought wrong. Since it was the title of Luo Yan, it shouldn't be too bad.
Especially in the mountains and poor areas, women would rather be sold into the city as maids and prostitutes than marry into the mountains.
Mrs. Chen just wanted to go out for a walk and bask in the sun. After walking along the steps from the high platform to the hall, she felt as if she wanted to say something.
The relationship between men and women is more free than the modern society that Chen Taiyi experienced.
After the Finance Minister went down, there was an old master whom Chen Taiyi didn't recognize standing in the middle talking, as if he was giving a lecture or making a report.
"To make friends at a distance and attack at home, I attacked Ze State to open up the trade routes between the countries in the Western Regions and Jiangdong. The Suzaku Kingdom in the Western Regions can be so wise. This wisdom is really rare."
What can I say?
Chen Taiyi looked at the sky outside and couldn't help but said, "We'll talk about it later."
Kui Wenji didn't understand and asked: "What does this mean, Your Majesty? Why do you have to wait?"
Marriage is a good thing, but it is also not a good thing. Chen Taiyi feels that if his appearance does not suit his aesthetics, then forget it and understand.
Kui Yuanqing's purpose was not to introduce women to Chen Taiyi, but to use this as a breakthrough.
Chen Taiyi was so anxious that he ignored the people behind him, walked to the wide and sunny door, and looked at the wider world outside.
He stood up and wanted to go out to bask in the sun, but felt that his body would become moldy if he sat down again.
Kui Yuanqing said: "It's absolutely true. In order to cast the Jiangzhou Cauldron, we went to the Fentian Valley of the Suzaku Kingdom in the Western Region to collect Tiangang's evil fire. We heard about this from the monks of the Fentian Valley and the royal family of the Suzaku Kingdom. Although the girl has no spiritual practice
Although he has great qualifications, he has the appearance of causing harm to the country and the people."
So Kui Wenji made a move towards the people of the Kui family.
It's really boring... Chen Taiyi sat quietly in his seat, wanting to yawn, but held it back, so his expression became the same as his mood, even worse.
If he and Zeguo are reconciled, Lingmeng, a princess from a very long time ago, should also count, right?
In this era, marriage is not considered a shame.
Chen Taiyi fell asleep.
Huang Wanzhen asked: "Why do we have to wait until summer?"
How could I know! Chen Taiyi didn't understand, but he couldn't say that he didn't understand at the moment. He could only talk nonsense: "What materials have been collected, please tell me."
I am bored.
Chen Taiyi was brought back to reality. It felt like the rain outside had cleared up and the sky had become brighter, but there was a damp and cool chill in the room.
Chen Taiyihu said: "Ding means suppression, and spring means flourishing, recuperating, and recuperating. The flood season in late summer and autumn is when Jiangzhou Ding came into being."
Whether it is getting married, letting women go out to do work, or women finding lovers and husbands themselves, it is very common in this era.
Grass!
It’s over!
I have to learn to refine weapons quickly!
He walked very fast. Behind him were Huang Wanzhen, Kui Wenji, a group of civil and military officials, and the powerful monks standing nearby. At this time, they felt... it made sense!
Whether the Jiangzhou Ding was used to suppress Jiang's luck or to attack King Swallowing the River, it should have appeared during the autumn floods.
All the important places in Jiangdong are by the water, so Jiangzhou Ding itself must have the function of controlling water, and in terms of fighting, it has to deal with King Tunjiang Jiao, a powerful enemy that has not been defeated for five or six years. What is waiting for is
Jiangzhou Ding!
