What Xie Fengyue is not afraid of the most is the trick of being hypocritical and submissive. She smiled and echoed: "This lotus is noble and noble, and it is rare for my sister to like it."
Xie Rui took advantage of her to speak and sat next to her.
Impatientness flashed through Xie Fengyue's heart for a moment. She was now leaning on the corridor of the pavilion. This was not a place for people to sit. She had no sense of propriety at all when she sat like this.
The two of them chatted next to each other for a while. She kept passing words to her, but Xie Fengyue never answered.
Although this small pavilion facing the lake is not very hot, it is still very torturous for the delicate and delicate noble girl.
In the end, Xie Rui couldn't help but ask: "Sister Yue is here today for the soldiers my father brought back a few days ago."
"Well, that's right. I just came back from the school grounds and rested in this pavilion."
Xie Fengyue makes up her mind and doesn't talk much. She is very clear-minded. Xie Rui has only met her once. If he comes to her out of nowhere, it must be up to no good. She doesn't want her leisurely days to be disturbed by others. .
Xie Rui bit her lip, looking like she had a hard time saying what she wanted to say.
Xie Fengyue glanced at Zhezhi, and it was rare for Zhezhi to understand immediately. She knelt down and saluted, respectfully reminding her: "Girl, the master is still waiting for you."
Upon hearing this, Xie Rui's expression changed and she spoke hurriedly: "Sister Yue, can you lend some people to my brother?"
"Ah" Xie Fengyue's doubts were not concealed.
The military power of the family is extremely strictly controlled. The military power is the representative of the core rights of the family head. Except for the direct descendants who have between one hundred and five hundred children, it is impossible for all the concubines to use the military power. , after all, too much power brings changes, and no one wants to cause chaos among the children and uncles in the family.
Of course, the rules are all set by people. There are some exceptions under this kind of rules, and Langya clan's son Yan is one of them.
Seeing her erratic expression, Xie Rui also felt that it was hard to talk about it, but she really had no choice now. She had to be thick-skinned for her brother.
"Don't have too many people, just twenty or thirty people. My brother made a bet to capture a group of refugees occupying the hills outside Shengjing City within three days. Today is already the second day, and he only has a few people. The guards have no crossbow weapons at all.”
Xie Fengyue asked: "Doesn't your brother even have a single soldier under his command?"
The reason why she asked this question was because she knew that the Qian'an law stipulated that the guards and servants except the soldiers were not allowed to hold iron blades. This was originally a law that bound the family. The largest iron mine in the entire Qian'an Dynasty was in the imperial clan. In your own hands.
This kind of law can be enforced with difficulty. In addition to the military service, most of the aristocratic families are tenant farmers in tens of thousands of hectares of farmland. Without this restriction, the royal family would probably be sweating while sleeping at night.
Thinking of this, Xie Fengyue asked again: "Why do you dare to accept such a job without the military power of the government? Isn't this asking for trouble?"
Xie Rui looked disheveled and lowered his head depressedly: "It's not entirely my brother's fault. He bumped into Rong Anbo Weining while drinking in a wine shop. He was drunk at the time, and it was Weining who used the provocation method to It made my brother agree to this. "Xie Fengyue understands clearly that she has such a temperament that she will retaliate. Naturally, her brother is not much better. Maybe it was Taifu Xie who mentioned that he wanted to hand over some of the errands in his hands to Xie Xi a few days ago, which attracted the attention of Xie Fengyue. He takes action.
"If your brother succeeds, what will happen to Rong Anbo?"
Xie Rui pinched the corner of his clothes anxiously and said in a much lower voice: "Nothing will happen to him, it's just that my brother will lose the hard-earned job."
Xie Fengyue suddenly lost her interest. If Wei Ning could suffer some moderate losses from this matter, she could reluctantly help, but if that was the case, she would be too lazy to take action. This kind of unequal bet Even if he agrees, his brother doesn't seem to be a person who can run errands well.
She said seriously: "Although my father gave these hundreds of people to me, my princess's mansion has not yet opened a school ground to accommodate them, so the power is still in my father's hands for the time being. Why don't you go with me to see them today?" Father, if you talk to your father happily, he will definitely agree.”
Xie Rui's face turned pale. How could she dare to go to her father about this matter? If she did, it would be obvious that his brother failed more than he succeeded.
She still wanted to fight for it: "Sister Yue, you have to see your father anyway today, why not quickly get the military power in your hands and bring him back to the princess's mansion later. I will bring my brother over to choose Man, you can help me and my brother with whatever you do.”
Xie Fengyue couldn't help but take a second look at Xie Rui. She thought this man was sober, but she didn't expect that he was as confused as his brother.
Regardless of the fact that this transfer of authority cannot be done in a day or two, I told her that the princess's mansion no longer has a house or school grounds, and she asked her to take people away. Could it be that these hundreds of people are just rubble? , she put it in her sleeve and took it away?
Xie Fengyue took a deep breath, she still didn't want to lose face with others, so she looked at her and said: "Sister Rui, you should think of other ways, I really can't help you now, the military power of the mansion is not in my hands. ”
Xie Rui was unwilling to let go of this opportunity, so she changed her mind and said, "Sister Yue, can you lend me some guards from the princess's mansion? Although they don't have halberds, bows and crossbows, they have knives and their skills are pretty good. Not a soldier, but still useful.”
The way she pushed herself to the limit made Xie Fengyue wonder if she had been too kind when chatting with her before, which was why she had a talkative personality in her eyes.
She simply turned cold and said in a bad tone: "I can't help with this matter. Even if I can help, I don't want to help now. Is there something wrong with your brain? The guards in the princess's palace are all given by the royal family for facade. I don’t even have much control over them, so why do I have to lend it to you?”
Before she could recover from Xie Fengyue's completely different behavior, Xie Fengyue spoke like a barrage of words: "Your brother started this matter, so let him solve it himself. How capable is he?" How big a job it is, something that even a young boy in Chengkou who makes a living as a guide knows, how can he, a man with a sound mind, not know about it?”
"If he can boast about Haikou when he is drunk, don't ask your sister to go around asking for help. This is government military power, not cabbage. Not everyone has it. You don't have to use your brain to think about it. Why should I do this? I can help you just because of your kindness in chatting with me just now.”
Xie Fengyue sat back on the stone table and drank a glass of water before replying: "The weather is hot, so the temper will naturally become stronger. Sister Rui, please don't take what I said to heart."
After that, she wanted to leave here. Xie Rui was already on the verge of tears. She looked angry and wanted to talk back, but she didn't know where to start.
Xie Fengyue was afraid that she would take advantage of her. After all, this was Xie's mansion.
Regarding weapons, the foreshadowing was indeed laid very early. When the previous group of refugees who fled to the mountains broke out, they were armed with wooden sticks, rakes and the like.
In fact, in ancient times, there had always been strong control over iron weapons, and even kitchen knives were limited to one Hachinohe.
