Bianjing little doctor

Chapter 315

After walking for two days and one night, Fu Jiuqu's convoy finally entered Binzhou Tuyi City at dawn.

The 36 caves are governed by the cave master, who is also called the chieftain and the chieftain. The system originated from the Tang Dynasty's Jiji system. The imperial court will collect offerings from them, but will not intervene in their internal affairs. The patriarchal clan power of the 36 caves is supreme, weddings and funerals, ancestor worship and ancestral temples, and external affairs are all autonomous.

The 36th hole is similar to Nong Zhigao to a large extent. It nominally belongs to the territory of the Northern Song Dynasty, but it has been enslaved by Jiaozhi for a long time and was forced to pay tribute to the Li Dynasty.

The biggest reason for Nong Zhigao's rebellion was that he refused to endure the long-term enslavement and oppression of Jiaozhi Kingdom, and he was not recognized and protected by the Song court.In the Northern Song Dynasty, Nong Zhigao was called a traitor, but for the people in Guangnan West Road, Nong Zhigao was their young hero.

Nong Zhigao was proficient in the art of war and was able to fight well. At the age of 16, he established the Dali Kingdom in Ande Prefecture to compete with Jiaozhi, and resisted the crusade of the [-] troops of the Jiaozhi Kingdom with thousands of people.

In a sense, Yang Wenguang's defeat to Nong Zhigao was not because General Yang was too weak, but because Nong Zhigao was too strong.

Therefore, most of the 36 cave masters who say "neutral" support Nong Zhigao in private.Back then when Jiaozhi attacked Nong Zhigao, 36 of the 36 caves sent troops to support it, and [-] caves sent troops to block the pass to prevent the troops of the Li dynasty from crossing the border.

The carriage slowed down as it entered the city of Tujiao in Jiedong.

Xin Yi opened the corner of the curtain and looked out with great interest.

For a moment, it was amazing.

Among the 36 holes, Jiedong is a hole with strong strength, many soldiers, and abundant supplies. The geographical location is very superior, and it has always been the object that Nong Zhigao wanted to win over.

This city is much more spectacular than Xin Yi imagined.

The rammed city wall is built very high with bricks and stones, firmly enclosing the whole city in the middle.

When the carriage passed the city gate, you could see the well-trained barbarians on the battlements. There were many traders from the Northern Song Dynasty and cochin packers among the crowd. Selling things on elephants...

Its lively level is not lower than that of some prefectural cities in the Northern Song Dynasty, but the scenery and culture are quite different.

"Brother Jiu!" Xin Yi turned his head and glanced at Fu Jiuqu, who closed his eyes and raised his mind, and whispered, "Are you nervous?"

Fu Jiuqu opened his eyes, "Why are you nervous?"

Xin Yi blinked, "It's not bad to be a son-in-law here."

Fu Jiuqu's eyes sank coldly, "Is your skin itchy again?"

Xin Yi stuck out his tongue funnyly, and continued to look out.

They were dressed as merchants, and they were accompanied by a local lobbyist sent by Zhizhou. Fu Jiuqu called him Lord Shi.

The two cars entered the city one after the other, and soon arrived at the residence of the chieftain...

To Xin Yi's surprise, the residence of the chieftain was actually built in the middle of the stilted buildings with stilts. It was not a masonry structure of the city wall, but a bamboo and wood structure. Only the foundation was made of huge stones and painted in bright colors. It looks very bright.

The most astonishing thing is that when the gate is decorated with lights and festoons, it seems that there is a happy event, and the faces of the barbarians guarding the gate are also beaming.

Xin Yi was taken aback, "Is this going to be a wedding for my daughter again? Could it be that I really caught up with Brother Nine's wedding wine?"

Fu Jiuqu adjusted the corner of his robe slowly, "Lord Shi."

Mr. Shi was in the carriage behind. He was a bit older, with a white beard. The weather was not cold, but he was wrapped up thickly. He walked up slowly and handed over the post. It's the fiftieth birthday of Jiedong Tuji.

The post was handed up, and soon, the chieftain came to greet him in person, and let Fu Jiuqu and Lord Shi lead him into the city together.

This is a beautiful building on stilts. The banana and bamboo forest downstairs swaying in the breeze, the air is humid and warm, and the scenery is excellent.

Looking out along the bamboo forest, there are two elephants, one big and one small, which look like a mother and a child, playing in the forest.

Xin Yi did a little grooming and stretched, "I'm exhausted."

On the way here, they were in a hurry, and they had to guard against a sneak attack by Nong Zhigao's troops. Their nerves had been tense, but when they relaxed, they felt tired.

Fu Jiuqu pinched her shoulder distressedly, "Go to sleep, I'll call you for dinner."

Xin Yi rubbed his astringent eyes and yawned.

"What about you?"

Fu Jiuqu closed the window and drew the bamboo curtain, "I'm going to talk to Lord Shi."

"No~"

Before the official meeting, talk to the middleman first.

Xin Yi nodded knowingly, "Then can I take a walk in the garden?"

"Of course." Fu Jiuqu called Duan Sui instead, "follow my lady."

Duan Sui responded, and went out with the knife on his waist.

Sun Huai carefully brought a female red satin cloak and handed it to Fu Jiuqu.

Fu Jiuqu draped it on Xin Yi's shoulder knowingly, and gave Sun Huai an appreciative look by the way.

The second monk Duan Suizhang couldn't figure it out. Seeing Eunuch Sun's sycophant look, he secretly snorted before trotting out with Xin Yi.

The yard was lush with vegetation, and when he went out, he felt a chill. Suddenly, Xin Yi felt that Eunuch Sun had a wink for being able to wait by Fu Jiuqu's side for so long, which could have been predicted in advance.

She wrapped her cloak, and looked at the vegetation and species in the garden that were different from the Central Plains, as if visiting a botanical garden, and slowly walked towards the bamboo fence on the elephant side, wanting to see the elephants in the Northern Song Dynasty...

However, the elephant was still there, but there was a barbarian girl about fifteen or sixteen years old on the elephant's back.

A self-spun blue dress with a large breast, a long folded skirt with a vertical ankle, a colorful flower scarf on her head, and round embroidered shoes on her feet. The dress is more slim than the Central Plains women. The narrow waistline is looming and her skin is slightly dark. , but the facial features are meticulous, looking bright and healthy.

But her face was not so pleasing as her clothes.

Sitting on the back of a tall elephant, she stared at Xin Yi proudly, with a cold and flowing light in her eyes.

"Are you from Song Dynasty?"

The girl spoke the Mandarin Mandarin of the Northern Song Dynasty with a strange and suspicious tone.

Duan Sui's hand holding the knife tightened, and silently took a step forward.

Xin Yi stopped in front of Duan Sui, met the girl's gaze, bowed his body and cupped his hands.

"I'm from Bianjing, Great Song Dynasty. I dare to ask the girl..."

The girl frowned, as if Xin Yi's question offended her dignity, very dissatisfied.

Immediately afterwards, the maid who was cleaning the elephant turned her head and said to Xin Yi dissatisfied:

"This is Dahua, our chief's youngest daughter."

Dahua?It was indeed the first time Xin Yi had heard of this well-known name in Tusi City.

So he cupped his hands again and apologized: "I'm sorry, I only know Daji, but I don't know Yiren's face."

The two girls looked at each other, half understanding Xin Yi's words.

Then, the girl Dahua on the back of the elephant raised her chin.

"Are you someone close to King Guangling?"

Xin Yi smiled slightly, and probably guessed who the girl was.

"Yes."

Dahua glanced at her maid again, raised the whip in her hand, and pointed at Xin Yi, "You, come forward."

Xin Yi nodded in response, and walked over slowly.

Duan Sui followed, "Miss, no."

"It's okay." Xin Yi lifted his lips disapprovingly, and looked at Da Hua with a smile.

If she can't even deal with such a simple little girl, how much anger will she have to suffer in the future with the charming face of the Guangling County King?
Seeing that she was obedient, Dahua restrained her arrogance a little.

"Are you all servants of the King of Guangling?"

Xin Yi thought for a while, "Yes, and no."

Dahua was puzzled, "Say it clearly, don't go around the bush."

Xin Yi said: "Sometimes I am a servant, sometimes I am not."

Dahua seemed to understand, but her interest was not here. Due to cultural differences, she didn't ask too much, but said: "I heard that men in your Song Dynasty had many wives, didn't they?"

Xin Yi said truthfully: "The high-ranking officials may have many women, but they only have one wife and countless concubines. And the poor have many bachelors who cannot afford wives, let alone take concubines."

"Wife? Concubine?" Dahua repeated it in her mouth, frowning and thinking for a moment, "What's the difference between a wife and a concubine?"

Xin Yi said: "A wife is a man's spouse, and there is only one. A concubine is a servant, who is enslaved by the husband and wife, warms the bed and has children, has no status, and can be beaten, scolded and bought and sold at will."

Da Hua tightened her whip slightly, her eyes showed a bit of astringency.

"Does the King of Guangling have a wife?"

"This..." Xin Yi shook his head, "No."

"Where is the concubine?"

"nor."

The expression on Dahua's face became better, "The king of the county is also a high-ranking official, why doesn't he have a wife or concubine?"

Xin Yi smiled and said nervously: "I dare not say."

Seeing her hesitant to speak, Dahua became more curious.

"Why don't you dare to say it? I forgive you for your innocence. Just say it."

Xin Yi glanced at Duan Sui, took two steps forward, and said in a low voice, "Women from ordinary families don't dare to marry the county king."

Dahua raised her eyebrows: "Why?"

"Hey!" Xin Yi said calmly: "The prince's temperament is different from ordinary people, and ordinary people are afraid of him, how dare... well, there are some things, I am not convenient to say, I will know when the girl meets later .”

"I want you to say it now."

"..." Xin Yi looked at her with sympathetic eyes, "Have you ever heard of the Imperial City Secretary of the Song Dynasty?"

Dahua shook her head again.

Xin Yi raised his eyebrows, "It's a place where people are arrested and detained, and the torture there is... well, it's inconvenient for me to say more, after all, our county king is here to concubine... Farewell!"

She said and turned to leave.

Dahua frowned tightly, "Stop..."

Xin Yi looked back, but Hou Dahua's little face turned pale.

"Is the chief's daughter also a concubine when she marries her?"
