Chapter 529 Showing the Jade Seal to the Zhou Family Elders! [Requesting a monthly pass]
While they were enjoying themselves in the large private room, Mu Guiying sneaked back to the B&B. Seeing Diao Chan, Zhao Yun, Zhao Fengyu, Wen Chengdu and others eating in the small private room, she hurried in: < br>
“I thought I was going to be hungry at noon today.”
Diao Chan smiled and brought her a pair of bowls and chopsticks:
“I just said that Sister Guiying could persevere. When the time comes, hurry up and eat, it’s the delicious food you’ve been thinking about all morning.”
"Thank you, Fairy Xiaochan!"
Mu Guiying sat down, picked up a goose leg, and talked about the cavalry training in Muke Village while eating.
Zhao Yun is more concerned about his sister's future working environment:
"Are you preparing to go on an expedition?"
"It doesn't count. Water Margin said that over at Yue Shijie, Zhang San Didn’t I occupy Weizhou? Xiao Feiyang had his thoughts and planned to regain the Yanyun Sixteenth Prefecture. When Xiao Feixue went to Muke Village, we trained together and then went out to regain the homeland of China and recreate the Han and Tang Dynasties. Prosperity! ”
Zhao Xue: "..."
I just eat a lot and am not fat. I strongly protest against Her Majesty the Third Master's nickname! ! ! ! !
However, just as she was about to express her dissatisfaction, Mu Guiying said:
"When the time comes, I will appoint Xiao Feixue as the general to conquer the north and sweep away the foreign tribes of Liao Kingdom. Do you want to go?"
When Zhao Xue heard this, she no longer cared about being nicknamed by the third mistress. She wished she could hold a spear and gallop on the grassland right now.
Hum hum, I have been practicing martial arts with my second brother since I was a child, and I am not just showing off!
Diao Chan said to Mu Guiying speechlessly:
"Sister Guiying always likes to give people nicknames."
"This makes you look cute, look, little Fei Yang, Xiao Fei Chan, Xiao Fei Xue, plus I am Xiao Fei Ying, do they sound like they are harmless to humans and animals?”
It does sound harmless to humans and animals, but this is true. Among the four little fat men, three are all generals. The only one, little fat cicada, who does not know martial arts, successfully implemented a chain plan in the original work and changed the course of the entire Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
Yuwen Chengdu was very supportive of the action to regain the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun:
“This is my homeland in China, but it was occupied by the aliens from Kun (kūn) Zuojin. It is really annoying... Of course, in the end, What’s irritating is that Zhao Song, who won the country unfairly, cut off his hands and feet and allowed the civil servant group to dominate, which eventually led to tragedy.”
The most egregious thing about the civil official group was the Ming Dynasty. As long as it passes through the hands of civil servants, it will lose several percent.
If the emperor disobeys, he will be replaced by another emperor; if the prince disobeys, he will be replaced by a prince.
But in the history books written by themselves, civil servants are always a vulnerable group, and they are always the one who is oppressed and bullied.
From the fate of the Song and Ming dynasties, we can see that the control of government affairs by civilian officials is more harmful than the control of relatives in the Han Dynasty or the control of clans in the Tang Dynasty.
My relatives and family members still have some pursuits, but the civil servants only have interests in their eyes.
Do the people have enough food? plunder! Are merchants highly profitable? plunder! Military pay needs to be paid? plunder! Ordnance to be produced? plunder!
They have no feelings for family, country and the world, or the ambition to plead for the people. They only focus on the immediate interests, without considering what will happen behind them, and do not leave a way out for themselves.
For example, Cai Jing guarded several carts of gold and silver treasures, but he couldn't even buy a piece of bread and starved to death on the road.
After Yan Song was beaten to death, he returned to live in the tomb prepared for himself and had to beg to survive.
No matter how cruel you were to others, the knives of your political opponents were also sharp.
However, relatively speaking, although Yan Song was corrupt, he did some practical things, while Qingliu, who ousted him, did not do any practical things, but the amount of money he should have embezzled was not a lot, which made it even more excessive. .
The good Ming Dynasty fell apart and fell into the hands of the Tatars.
These civil servants thought that they could continue to play the same old tricks if they changed their masters, but it turned out that they had the Eight Banners, and all civil servants who were disobedient would snap. The so-called literary character suddenly became a dog with a broken spine.
Zhao Yun put a chopstick of mutton chops in a bowl and said:
"In the middle and late stages of all dynasties, various problems will arise. When I see the emperor's uncle, I plan to persuade him and let him find a solution. Establish a mature and reliable system."
Zhao Xue was stunned for a moment:
"Is there such a good system?"
Mu Guiying recalled the university where her mother taught her. Historical knowledge said:
"That's annoying, but now as long as we continue to expand, there will be no shortcomings in the court. Once the world is unified, we can then find a way to conquer the moon through the technology tree. As long as we have goals, the problem will not be big."
Dang When the entire court is united and striving for the same goal, both the social atmosphere and the consciousness of the people are very high.
The biggest fear is that the top and bottom are not of one mind, causing the people to become disloyal, and it will be a matter of time before they fall apart.
In the large private room, Li Xinjian toasted one by one with a wine glass.
He is really happy today. He feels like old friends at first sight with the elders of the Zhou family, and the engagement has been finalized. The engagement party will be held at a high-end restaurant in the city at noon the day after tomorrow.
Li Yu held Zhou Ruotong's hand and whispered:
"I will have someone make a pair of engagement rings later. The sense of ceremony must be indispensable."
The corners of Zhou Ruotong's lips raised:
"Don't make such a big show of making the world in the book uneasy."
"No, don't worry, wife."
The wine today was good. We originally discussed drinking less, so as not to delay the reception banquet in the city that evening, but we couldn’t hold it in anymore. A box of Wuliangye was consumed, and we even promised not to drink more. Zhou Yongnian also drank almost half a catty.
Li Yu wanted to open another bottle, but thinking that the tiger bone wine made by Yunxiao had been delivered, he decided to let everyone try it while he was happy today.
When Zi Shou brought it to him, he specifically told him not to drink too much of this kind of wine, only a small cup at most every day. Drinking too much can lead to nosebleeds.
Li Yu brought a jar of wine over, opened it, and gave everyone a glass with a wine divider.
Pang Donghai glanced into the jar:
"Hey, there are some medicinal materials in it?"
"This is a medicinal wine given by a friend. He said that drinking it will strengthen your body and make you energetic. Everyone should try it."
Zhou Bingliang heard this. He said:
"My body is wasted by drinking. If I had known better, I would have drank some Wuliangye."
But after all, he picked up the wine glass and tasted it immediately. , said with surprise on his face:
"Hey, this wine is a bit interesting."
I can't feel it for the time being to strengthen my body, but the soft taste of this wine and the unique aroma of cellaring are no less than the Wuliangye I just drank. .
This kid is really serious. Last time you brought out such good wine, now let alone an engagement, there may even be a wedding.
It’s all because I, the second uncle, have a thin skin and don’t have as much face as the third uncle. If it were a shameless elder brother or a shameless fourth uncle, he would probably have asked for a drink by now.
After a glass of wine, Zhou Bingliang obviously felt that the air conditioner was no longer cool, and his body was slightly warm. Even the old problem of cervical pain seemed to be relieved a lot.
Oops, what kind of medicinal wine is this? Isn’t it too strong?
Zhou Yongnian also thought the wine was good. Just as he was about to praise it, the old lady in the capital called:
"Old man, have you been drinking again?"
"No, why do I know how to drink? I am staying with Xiaoyu to eat. The food this kid cooks is so delicious. Every dish is delicious. I can't get enough."
Old lady Sneered:
"If you just eat vegetables, can your heart rate soar to 120? My mobile phone has an alarm!"
Zhou Yongnian looked at his wrist and found that the heart rate warning was flashing on it, and said quickly:
"Seeing that Xiaoyu's parents were happy, they just had a drink and didn't dare to drink more... The signal in the mountains is not good. For now, we have to talk about the engagement. We will contact you in the evening."
< br>After saying that, the old man deliberately pretended not to hear clearly, said hello several times, and hung up the phone.
Putting down his phone, he looked at his smart bracelet again and said with emotion:
"There are so many base stations. In the past, when I was doing archeology, my mobile phone would have no signal as long as I went to the tomb, and I couldn't make any calls. But now it's good, and the signal in the mountain is full."
The old man thinks that Li Yu is such a medicinal wine. Not bad, he said with a smile:
"Xiaoyu, get some for me when you leave the day after tomorrow. I'll keep it at home and drink a small cup slowly every day... After drinking this wine, my whole body will feel warm, and I'll be fine. It's quite comfortable."
Li Yu promised:
"No problem, I'll get you some more when I leave."
I heard from Zishou that Yunxiao used the grain there to brew at least a ton of wine to soak the tiger bones, and also used time spells to give the wine the effect of being soaked for ten years.
With so much wine, even if Li Yusa drank it, he could drink it for several years.
As for materials such as tiger blood, tiger blood medicinal wine has also been made, and the quantity is more than one ton.
As a tiger monster in Little Disaster, Journey to the West is a well-deserved death to be treated like this.
When he heard that the old man wanted wine, Zhou Bingliang also pretended to say:
"Take some care for me. The boss has been weak in the waist and knees in the past few years. Give him some supplements. The fourth child is as weak as bread crumbs. I'm worried."
Li Yu: "..."
If the uncle and fourth uncle don't come, you can just grab the shit basin, right?
After drinking the tiger bone wine, everyone started to have lunch.
Rice, noodle soup, steamed crane meat dumplings...there are many kinds, and everyone had a great time. After drinking and eating, Pang Donghai and his wife drank tea with everyone for a while, and then said goodbye and left together with several experts from the archaeological team.
If you want to discuss the engagement, you better not hang around here all the time.
In addition, there will be a reception banquet held by several units in the city in the evening, so I have to go back early to prepare, so as not to miss the chance.
After seeing off a few people, Zhou's elders and Li Yu's parents came to the study room, ready to confirm the engagement process.
Li Yu's opinion is to keep everything simple. Just sit down and have lunch together. There is no need to make a big show of it, making it look like a wedding.
Last time Wu Song's engagement was such a big deal, it was because Hao Zhenzhen's relatives had been nagging, and the B&B wanted to support Wu Song, so they booked the entire banquet hall.
Li Yu and Zhou Ruotong didn't need to be like this. They were in love with each other, and their parents didn't like publicity, so they decided to just have a meal.
As for the wedding date, we’ll discuss that later.
Anyway, we have a car and a house, so it doesn’t matter when we hold the wedding.
Zhou Bingliang took a sip of the newly brewed Maojian tea and asked:
"Xiao Yu, you gave us such a big surprise last time. Is there any different surprise this time?"
What he calls surprises are the high-end cultural relics that Li Yu always brings out.
Li Yu thought for a while, said a moment, and took out the jade seal from his room... Liu Xie heard that the family of the master's wife was coming, so he specially sent the jade seal over and took it if necessary. Come out and give the elders of the Zhou family a surprise.
Of course, it could also be fright.
Li Yu walked out of the room with the jade seal and saw Zhou Ruotong standing in the corridor:
"Would you like to let your parents take a look?"
Zhou Ruotong nodded:
"Let's take a look. Anyone who studies history wants to take a look at this seal... I just said it was a counterfeit and they wouldn’t ask.”
“Okay!”
The young couple walked into the study room with the jade seal. Zhou Yongnian, who was looking at the bookshelf, was stunned and drank. The second uncle of the tea poured half a cup of tea on him. Zhou Bingren, who was studying the Han sword, almost cut his finger. Zhao Peimin, who was about to announce the engagement of his baby daughter in the circle of friends, did not realize that he had typed a lot of garbled characters...
Everyone looked at the seal in Li Yu's hand, which included five dragons, bird seal inscriptions, gold with missing corners, and the most eye-catching blue field jade material.
Like, so similar!
It is exactly the same as the legendary seal!
Watching the reaction of his parents, Zhou Ruotong recalled the scene when he saw Yuxi for the first time, and couldn't help complaining to Li Yu in his heart:
"You stinky guy, you can't Are you so proud?”
She was afraid that several experts in the history circle would ask something, so she quickly said:
"Li Yu found someone to imitate this. How is it, does it look real?"
After hearing this Zhou Bingliang reacted first:
“Like, I almost shouted the words “Destiny”.
He put down the teacup as if nothing had happened, took out the paper towel on the table, and wiped it Wiping the T-shirt that was wet with tea, he also muttered to himself that he had drunk too much.
Zhang Ping and Li Xinjian felt that everyone's reaction was a bit strange:
"What's the origin of this seal?"
Li Yu smiled and put the seal on the coffee table:
"This is an imitation of the jade seal passed down from the country. In ancient times, people would shout long live it after taking it out."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Ping interrupted him:
"I think you drank too much fake wine, didn't you? You passed on the national jade seal, and the two auxiliary police officers took care of you... Don't take these things out randomly, call the police later, Tongtong and I will not bring you food "
Li Xinjian picked it up and looked at it with great interest:
"As far as the pattern is concerned, it is really the style of the Qin and Han Dynasties. I have little research on this aspect. I will give it to my relatives to comment. , do you think Xiaoyu’s imitation of the jade seal is somewhat similar?”
Zhou Bingren hung up Lu Bu’s Han sword again, took the imperial seal with both hands, and subconsciously wanted to take out the disposable rubber gloves from the bag. Put it on.
He looked at it carefully, pointed at the shoulder of the seal and said:
"The only thing missing is the engravings of Cao Pi and Shi Le. The other details are quite similar...Xiaoyu, can I take some photos?"
"Okay, it's just for fun anyway. "
Zhou Bingren smiled and agreed with his son-in-law's explanation.
As soon as he heard that he could take pictures, Zhou Bingliang also took out his mobile phone and took a few photos. Then he opened his backpack and took out a Canon camera. After replacing it with a fixed-focus lens, he took a group of close-ups. .
Zhao Peimin held the jade seal and looked at it for a while, wanting to scrape off some ink pad and take it away for testing, but Mr. Zhou interrupted her action:
"Just take a look, don't cause trouble for our children."
As soon as he heard this, Zhao Peimin gave up the idea of studying ink pads, and looked at Li Yu with a more meaningful look... …Has this stupid daughter of mine found a god as her boyfriend?
Finally, there was Zhou Yongnian. He put on his reading glasses, looked at it carefully, and exclaimed:
“It turns out that if you look like this, you will have material for your dreams in the future.”
After Li Yu sent Yuxi back to the room, Zhang Ping and Li Xinjian went back to the room to put their luggage. Zhou Yongnian said to Zhou Ruotong:
"We don't ask anything, and you and Xiaoyu don't need to say anything. If there are any problems that can't be solved, just tell me."
After that, he moved his arms and legs and said to the sofa Zhou Bingliang, who was sitting, ordered:
"Change your clothes and accompany me to see those cliff carvings."
"Okay... you should also change your shoes. Last time I bought a pair of very light hiking shoes. You can put them on and try them out later. You can even climb Mount Everest.”
At this moment, Li Xinjian put away his luggage and specially changed into casual clothes. .
He planned to go to the mountains to visit the abandoned old village of Shitouzhai. When Zhou Bingren heard about it, he put on his baseball cap and went with his in-laws.
Zhou Ruotong wanted to ask the elders to take a look at the jade seal in a vague way, but it turned out that everyone in the family had sharp eyes, especially his mother, who actually thought of using ink pads to deduce the age... There are really no secrets in front of historians It can be said.
She pulled her mother Zhao Peimin and asked:
"I will take you to worship God later, Te Ling."
Zhao Peimin was still digesting and bumped into Yuxi Things:
"In this age, we still pay attention to feudal superstition. If I don't go, I have to be quiet."
"Worshipping can eliminate sub-health conditions, relieve anxiety, and beautify the face."
" Some folk activities should be experienced, after all, the tradition cannot be lost... Come on, my daughter, take me and my mother-in-law to see it."
In this way, Zhou Ruotong took the two mothers to visit the two mothers-in-law. .
Li Yu was sitting in the study, wondering whether it was right or wrong to do what he did today... Thinking of the intriguing look in Mr. Zhou's eyes when he went to the capital last time, he might have noticed something.
After all, first-class cultural relics are being given away for free, which is simply too abnormal for someone who has studied history for a lifetime.
Fortunately, we are all family members, so no one will say anything nonsense.
On the ropeway outside the B&B, Zhou Bingliang supported the old man and walked forward slowly.
"Dad, that seal just now..."
"Don't ask, don't tell, don't discuss."
Zhou Bingliang had distress on his face:
“But this is not scientific.”
“Silly boy, are there not enough supernatural events in our historical circle? Major museums, major ancient tombs, Where are there not many legends about mysterious events? If we should know, we will know it naturally in the future. If we should not know, forcing ourselves to seek answers may harm Tongtong and Xiaoyu... Don't ask, don't tell, they are fine. Better than anything else."
"Okay, I'll listen to you..."
Zhou Bingliang took out his mobile phone and searched for the Jade Seal of the Kingdom, just to see if it was related to Yinzhou. According to the rumors, I saw a picture of the imperial seal, which was exactly the same as the one I just saw, except that there was no ink pad and no traces of time erosion.
To be precise, this is a newly made imitation, and all the details seem to be carved after Li Yu's piece.
He clicked on the details and saw that it was a decoration in Lin Xu's live broadcast room.
“Dad, look at this!”
Zhou Yongnian took the phone and took a look, and recognized it as a brand new imitation jade seal:
“No wonder Xiaoyu went there last time I went to see this Lin Xu just after lunch in Beijing. It seems that they have a private connection... Ignore it for now and let them struggle for now. If we encounter problems that cannot be solved in the future, we will help. "< br>
"Okay!"
————————
I went to get medicine in the afternoon, and by the way I stopped at the place where the inspiration for this book came from - a place in the nearby mountains called [Fengming Valley] I wandered around the abandoned tourist attractions in search of inspiration. Today I will update it. The photos are in the book review area, you can take a look.
