Chapter 298 The First Meeting with Concubine Yu

"Li Xiang, stop teasing me..." Zhao Si waved his hand.

Of course, he wouldn't naively think that Li Si was afraid of his ears.

It's nothing more than because everything that needs to be dealt with has already been dealt with, the general situation of the Yu family will be fine, and Li Si, who is not ashamed, just wants to see the excitement.

To put it bluntly, the Yu family didn't make any big mistakes, at least they didn't rebel, and the relationship with Yin Tong was just for profit, and it didn't reach the Xiang family's status in Chu, and couldn't affect the overall situation.

If the Yu family really had to deal with the situation, Zhao Si would have to die to protect Li Si, and there would be a hundred ways to make Zhao Si submit.

Zhao Si never forgot Zhang Cang's exhortation, Li Si had a dark history, even if he successfully passed the sand dune assessment, Zhao Si still paid attention to it after all.

"You have to go and see, Zhao Zhonglang has never paid so much attention to a woman, and I can't forget this before we meet..." Li Si stroked his goatee and his squinting face was full of smiles.

"I always have to go..." Zhao Si was helpless.

I'm afraid this is not just the intention of Li Si, a fun person, but the first emperor may also have the intention of watching the fun.

Zhao Si sighed and greeted his followers to go to Yu's house...

Zhao Si was driven to the shelves, and the Yu family was also very anxious.

"Naihe...Naihe...such as it is!" Yu Feng paced back and forth in the hall, and after finally sitting down on his knees, he got up again as if a nail had been planted.

"Why is father like this?"

From the side, a soft voice sounded. Yu Feng looked back and saw his daughter walking over gently with a snack of buttermilk.

"Father hasn't eaten for a day, let's eat something." Yu Miaoge put snacks and buttermilk on the table one by one.

"Right now, the King of Qin is driving to patrol Kuaiji, Yin Tong raises private soldiers as a disaster, and Wuzhong's famous families are often implicated by it, how can I live on..." Yu Feng waved his hands and sighed.

"Father and Yin Tong's relationship is mediocre. It's not that there have been no officials coming and going at home recently, so I shouldn't be able to bear too much involvement." Yu Miaoge knelt at the side and comforted softly.

"It's because there are no officials coming and going to the Yu family that I'm so worried, Miao Ge..." Yu Feng sighed.

His personal relationship with Yin Tong is indeed mediocre, but it doesn't mean that the Yu family doesn't have any interests with Yin Tong.

Yin Tong is the governor of Kuaiji County... Yin Tong used his power for personal gain, which naturally gave the prominent families in Wuzhong an opportunity to take advantage of it. Basically, the Yu family should have a wide range of cooperation projects.

This is almost the case in the whole of Wuzhong. Who doesn't like to take advantage of the advantages?

Anyway, when the sky fell, the county guard Yin Tong was holding it up...

But the problem lies in this. Yin Tong committed a serious crime. He raised private soldiers in an attempt to rebel. Xiang Liang died because of this, and Xiang Ji was demoted to slavery because of this.

The entire prominent family in Wuzhong basically bled from house to house because of their involvement with Yin Tong.

Pay money and pay people to ensure safety. Although there has been no massacre in Wuzhong in recent days, the arrests alone are enough to fill the Kuaiji county government office.

But at such a time, the Yu family was safe and sound, without any changes, which made Yu Feng feel even more uneasy.

The Yu family's buttocks aren't clean either...

While thinking about it, suddenly a Lichen rushed into Neitongchuan.

"Master! Master! Qin people are here! Qin people are here!"

Because of the strange calm in recent days, Yu Feng had long ago sent his servants to watch the nearby roads, once the Qin people arrived!
That's it!

Come out with the best attitude to welcome!

No way, no welcome!
The first emperor had shown enough tolerance. Although all the prominent families in Wuzhong were bleeding heavily, they were indeed not to the point of being unable to survive and revolting.

Even the first emperor of the Xiang family, who was most involved with Yin Tong, didn't criticize him too much. Under such circumstances, even if Yu Feng wanted to resist, he couldn't resist at all.

The Yu family is no more than a well-known family in Wuzhong, and does not have as much appeal as the Xiang family. Now everyone is beating and punishing at will, even if the first emperor's brain is pumped and other people can't destroy him, Yu Feng, the Yu family, has to be recognized.

It's obvious that no one will stand up for them.

"Can we find out who is here?" Yu Feng asked quickly.

"It's Qin Wang's close minister, Langzhong Zhao Si! He brought about a hundred soldiers and horses." Li Chen answered.

"It's not an official?" Yu Feng's eyelids twitched, feeling that he was being urged to do so.

"Father, I heard that King Qin is very close to Zhao Si. Every time he travels, he will send hundreds of soldiers to accompany him as guards. Father, don't worry too much." Yu Ji comforted her obviously flustered father softly.

After all, Yu Feng can be regarded as the head of the clan, and he still has some concentration.

Rubbing between his brows, he sighed and knelt down and said, "Restrain the clansmen and open the door to welcome them!"

"The first emperor didn't implicate too many people because of Yin Tong's matter, and was even uncharacteristically lenient. If he wanted to deal with my family strictly, it would be inconsistent... Doctor Zhao Si's visit may have something else important." Yu Feng Slowly ponder.

"You go back to the backyard first and tell the women at home not to worry!" Yu Feng waved his hand to signal his daughter to leave.

Then he looked at Lichen and said, "Send someone to pass on the message and greet you with courtesy..."

"Forget it, I'll go by myself!"

Yu family!

The famous families in Wuzhong also!
What is a noble family?

In layman's terms, from the time Zhao Si stepped into this township, everything he saw was basically the territory of the Yu family.

Although the Qin State forcibly took over many noble lands after the destruction of Chu, because Yin Tong made peace with the local nobles and Guishou did not know the decree of the Qin State, even if the land had been distributed to the people legally, they would not They are no longer servants, servants, tenant farmers of the Yu family, but in essence they still live the same life as before.

Yes, their taxes were not collected by officials, but handed over to the Yu family.

Including their industrial activities and even any disputes between villages, most of them are still handled according to the old habits and rules.

Zhao Si rode on horseback, and the Qianshou people along the way prostrated themselves while Zhao Si rode by.

Those farther away disappeared in a blink of an eye with fear.

"At present, the laws of the Qin State can only reach local towns, but cannot go deep into the villages. Most people fear the laws and officials more than they believe them, and they are like a corrupt landlord like Yin Tong. Guiji, above the localities, the life of Qianshou is even the same as before, the land property is only allocated to Qianshou in name, and the ownership is still the local nobles." Zhang Cang said with a smile, pointing to Qianshou who prostrated himself along the way .

"Counting from the unification of the Qin Kingdom, they have lived for hundreds of years and thousands of years like this, and they serve nobles with a long blood. How can they overcome their fear so easily?" Zhao Si shook his head.

"Besides, objectively speaking, through my observations, like the larger nobles, the people who are usually willing to obey their rules during loose seasons can live. Rather than saying that they are in the fish and meat town, it is better to say that they are monopolizing productivity. ..." Zhao Si said in a deep voice.

"The people who are willing to rely on them and obey their rules are actually not as bad as imagined. Although they are also maximizing the value of everyone's labor, if you look at the corvee and heavy taxes stipulated by the Qin Law, In fact, the oppression suffered by the two is almost the same. In comparison, Guishou, who had no access to Qin's government orders in the countryside, was naturally more willing to lean towards the nobles who had ruled the local area for hundreds of years. However, the complicated rules, heavy taxes and corvees, and cruel punishments still make them daunting, so people will naturally tend to choose a more stable environment." Zhao Si said.

"That's why I quit my job and left." Zhang Cang nodded in agreement with Zhao Si's statement.

In fact, objectively speaking, from the perspective of the people, the nobles and the emperors of the feudal dynasty oppressed the people in the same way.

The struggle between the local nobles and the central dynasty is nothing more than money and power.

Needless to say, some small powerful families who are good at fish and meat, such as those aristocratic families that have been passed down for thousands of years... Generally speaking, the people around them have a good evaluation of them.

To put it bluntly, Qin's biggest problem is that he does not have enough patience and a certain degree of preferential treatment for the head of Guizhou.

Why did the ancients talk about the township party?

If there is a real big shot in a place, then the folks and folks can really get the honor.

No matter how bad an official is, he can't be as bad as his hometown.

But regardless of these beneficiaries, more people in Guizhou are being deeply persecuted.

Qin State needs to win over these people.

The times are different, and the policy should be changed, but what Zhang Cang sees is exactly the same squeeze.

"But don't worry, these things will change when His Majesty returns to Xianyang." Zhao Si laughed.

"That's right, the most urgent thing now is to go to Yu's house to see Yu Meiren, who is famous all over Wuzhong." Zhang Cang showed a bit of teasing on his face.

While the two were talking to each other, suddenly a carriage with two horses came facing each other on the road.

Zhao Si looked at the carriage that was running towards him, only to stop hastily when he reached a distance of about a hundred steps in front of his team, and a person jumped down from it stepping on the back of a slave.

Then he rolled up his sleeves and straightened his clothes, and hurriedly ran towards him.

Seeing this, the soldiers subconsciously wanted to stop them, but Zhao Si stopped them.

Judging from the service and crown belt, the opponent's title is quite high.

Now that we have reached the boundary of the Yu family's influence, it is easy to guess who is coming.

"Mr. Zhao is here in person. I'm far away to welcome you!"

The visitor almost trotted all the way to Zhao Si's war horse, with surprise and joy on his face.

"Yu's family is still more than ten miles away from here, how can this be regarded as a long way?" Zhao Si smiled.

"you are?"

"Yu Feng!" Yu Feng straightened his clothes and saluted again.

Zhao Si got off his horse and returned the gift.

Before coming here, I have already read all the information, so of course Zhao Si knows who Yu Feng is.

The head of the Yu family's eldest family, and now the leader of the Yu family, is also the representative of the Yu family's will.

A prominent family like the Yu family doesn't even mention concubines, and the number of direct descendants is not small. Each branch has its own interests and demands, and they hold each other together because of blood ties, but in fact, they can no longer simply care about family affection internally. .

But as time goes by and the number of people increases, the original interest demands are gradually unable to be satisfied, and the family will be separated. Counting hundreds of years forward, it really is a family.

Therefore, the family sacrifices and village sacrifices are basically all local people participating, and the ancestors are indeed the same.

"Get in the car!"

It seemed that Yu Feng already knew his identity, so Zhao Si naturally didn't elaborate too much, but invited Yu Feng to get in the car and went to Yu's house together.

When Yu Feng boarded the car, his overall posture was very low along the way, his etiquette was also in place, and his speech was also quite respectful. Zhao Si reckoned that Li Si might not be able to sleep because he had been hanging out with the Yu family for the past few days.

There is no way, if it is an ordinary person, maybe it will be lucky.

At Yu Feng's level, how could he think that the first emperor and even the accompanying officials could ignore the Yu family.

The more he didn't deal with it, the more uneasy he felt.

Chatting and narrating all the way, Yu Feng also made subtle insinuations about the treatment of the Yu family.

Zhao Si could only slap in embarrassment and fool around.

How should I put it, I'm a little embarrassed to say it.

You can't come all the way and say to Yu Feng, I want to see if your daughter looks good?

What bully behavior?
Despicable, so despicable!
After entering Yu's house, Yu Feng took the initiative to arrange for the soldiers accompanied by Zhao Si to rest, and sent officials to watch over the horses, and personally led Zhao Si into the hall.

After busy work, I am very respectful.

Not only Zhao Si, but also Fan Kuai and Zhang Cang who accompanied him, as well as the guards on guard, also received great respect from Yu Feng.

"Mr. Zhao, this armor..." Yu Feng asked tentatively as he looked at Zhao Si, who was kneeling in front of the table and wearing a golden armor.

He didn't have any bad intentions, the main reason was that there would be more programs to entertain, drink and hold banquets, and wearing armor would be difficult.

"I bear the king's order, but I can't take off the armor, please forgive me." Zhao Si waved his hand.

Yu Feng was secretly startled, he only thought that Zhao Si refused to take off his armor, and that he was under the king's order...

I can't tolerate Yu Feng not thinking too much. It is inconvenient to carry armor, not to mention drinking and hosting a banquet, even walking, sitting and lying are not so comfortable. If you don't take off your armor, you need to be on guard or you need to fight...

The Yu family has been left hanging for so long, and has been delayed without dealing with it. Now there are hundreds of armored soldiers, and all of them are armored...

Armor also refused to take it off, Yu Feng always felt that he was going to take the Yu family under his knife.

"It doesn't matter if you don't unload it..." Yu Feng sneered and sent people to bring various fruits, snacks and drinks.

In a short while, someone came in with instruments of ritual and music, and another musician played the instruments, and a maidservant in a green shirt filed in, singing and dancing with the instruments with light steps.

"At this point, Zhonglang has nothing to wait for, but to entertain him with songs of Chu Chuci..." Yu Feng smiled.

Zhao Si looked at the maids who were walking gracefully and singing soft songs, with some interest in their eyes.

Whether it was music or dance, Zhao Si had never heard of it before.

Compared with the more orthodox rites and music at present, Chuge Chuyue and dance have a light, graceful and soft meaning, and the sigh is long, showing the gentle side of women to the fullest.

But it's a pity that the singing language is serious Chu Yan, Zhao Si can't understand what is being sung, and can only understand a few words occasionally.

"I don't seem to have heard of it." Zhao Si nodded.

"The royal family of Zhou hates Chu, so the Ci of Chu is not shown in the Book of Songs." Zhang Cang explained.

Not only that, in fact, Chu State is incompatible with other countries in terms of style, rhythm and even tone.

Although Qin State was once regarded as a barbarian country, it still has a bit of a reputation, and it has worked hard to reform to gain recognition. Chu State is purely rotten. If you don't play with me, I will simply create another system to enclose the land.

This can be seen from various aspects such as cultural customs and sacrifices. Chu State is the place farthest from the core circle of Central Plains culture, so the old land of Chu State has always been the focus area of ​​the first emperor.

Zhao Si couldn't understand, but he could feel that it was different from the singing and dancing performances he had seen before, including that the maids of the Yu family were actually different from the maids of Zhao Si's family.

It's not the difference in appearance, it's just that they don't understand the atmosphere at all.

It looked like it was made of water, soft and moist.

Zhao Si was immersed in the song and dance performance. By the way, he thought about how to mention the purpose of his visit today. Zhang Cang and Yu Feng had a good chat. It can be seen that Zhang Cang's knowledge is really extensive. He is also clear and straight, and Yu Feng, a local, agrees with the comments made during the conversation.

Of course, it may also be that Yu Feng dare not disagree,

There was a banquet, and the atmosphere was in full swing. Yu Feng saw that the atmosphere was almost the same, so he asked Zhao Si through Zhang Cang the purpose of coming to the Yu family.

And in the conversation, it was implicitly expressed that the Yu family would unswervingly support the Emperor Shi Huang's thorough investigation and was willing to actively cooperate. What should be paid, what should be handed over, and who should be handed over to others, and will also give Zhao Si a lot of benefits alone .

It's definitely not that straightforward, it's more obscure, but the meaning is pretty much the same.

Zhao Si couldn't speak for a while when he heard the sound, Zhang Cang smiled and declined the bribe from the Yu family.

"Come closer!"

Zhang Cang greeted Yu Feng, Yu Feng glanced at Zhao Si, and then walked close to him.

Zhao Si saw Zhang Cang whispering a few words in Yu Feng's ear, and Yu Feng's face showed a bit of distress and joy, and then suddenly realized again.

After pondering for a moment, Yu Feng got up and left.

"What did sir tell him?" Zhao Si questioned.

"Don't say it, don't say it." Zhang Cang shook his head, rolled up his sleeves with a smile and squinted his eyes to continue watching the song and dance performance.

After another moment, Yu Feng was able to return to his seat.

When the song and dance performance was in full swing, a woman in a tunic walked in from the side.

Zhao Si subconsciously glanced sideways...

Just one glance...Zhao Si's breathing subconsciously slowed down.

Without him, it's so beautiful.

A light green shirt, with a crystal clear jade hairpin between the temples.

At first glance, it is fair, but it is not pale, but a transparent color like the jade hairpin on his temples.

Compared with the maid in Zhao Si's family, she is slightly taller, about 1.6 meters five.

Zhao Si searched for a lot of adjectives in his mind and didn't know how to describe it, but she was simply beautiful.

It is not the kind of bright and moving, nor is it breathtaking, just standing there is a scenery by itself, which makes people feel refreshed and happy.

I saw him salute slightly, and then danced and sang with a smile on his face.

The surrounding maids consciously arched it in the center...

"Objectively speaking, Chu people know how to sing and dance..." Zhao Si was speechless.

If nothing else, this is the well-known poppies in Wuzhong.

looks good?Of course it looks good!

Zhao Si can only say that there are no worthless people under a great reputation.

Objectively speaking, this aesthetic feeling is an intuitive experience that he has never had in his two lifetimes.

Everyone's evaluation of beauty is different in each age, but Yu Ji in front of her is an out-and-out beauty no matter what kind of aesthetics she evaluates.

And if you look at it from Zhao Si's own aesthetic point of view, every point on the body is completely above Zhao Si's aesthetic.

Beauty in the popular sense is easy to see, but it is hard to find a beauty that is completely in one's own aesthetics.

Generally speaking, the opposite sex who fully meets all the aesthetic points of a man will only appear in Two-dimensional.

Of course, even if it is Two-dimensional, everyone's favorite characters are different.

Zhao Si expressed his intuitive feeling of Yu Ji's beauty in an easy-to-understand way, that is, his favorite person who only existed in two-dimensional or imaginary, jumped to reality and stood in front of Zhao Si.

This is something that Zhao Si cannot imagine.

Zhao Si really has no shortage of beauties!
Zhao Si didn't know how many tests he had accepted.

Rationally speaking, Zhao Si doesn't think that Yu Ji, who has put aside the beauty of the poppies and even the aura of history, can make herself lose her beauty.

And now...

Zhao Si's intuitive feeling is that she deserves her name.

Zhao Si slowly raised the wine bottle, looked at Lian Bu and concubine Yu who was singing Chuyu and Chuci, and drank the wine in the cup in one gulp.

"If I'm not mistaken, this is the well-known Yu Meiren in Wuzhong?" Zhao Si looked at Yu Feng with a sigh in his tone.

"It's my daughter..." Yu Feng nodded, with some indescribable emotions in his tone.

Zhao Si nodded and didn't say much, Wei Wei was enjoying the singing and dancing performance brought by Yu Ji.

After the song was over, Yu Miaoge walked lightly to Zhao Si and knelt down beside Zhao Si, pouring wine for Zhao Si.

"Little girl Miao Ge, I have met the general, please drink to the full." Yu Miaoge handed out the bronze wine bottle, and Zhao Si drank it all in one gulp, feeling a little reserved for a while.

Needless to say, drinking and having fun during the banquet.

When he was about to leave, Zhao Si's face turned reddish.

After repeatedly rejecting Yu Feng's request to send some souvenirs, Zhao Si boarded the car with Zhang Cang.

When entering the carriage, Zhang Cang and Zhao Si sat facing each other.

"My lord, can you be drunk today?" Zhang Cang had a smile on his face.

"Sir, you made fun of me again..." Zhao Si shook his head and laughed.

Zhang Cang looked up in surprise, only to see that Zhao Si's complexion and eyes were half drunk.

But the sober Zhao Si couldn't stop Zhang Cang Lezi's heart.

"How about Yu Meiren?" Zhang Cang smiled.

"It's worthy of the name!" Zhao Si nodded.

"My lord should be clear about what your majesty means. Although it's a joke, it also means being close to my lord. It's about the Yu family?" Zhang Cang asked with a smile.

Zhao Si rubbed his eyebrows.

"I will make it clear with His Majesty Li Xiang."

It's fine if you haven't seen it, but now you can see it, and it really fits and hits Zhao Si's aesthetic...

Then Zhao Si is not a coddling person.

(I will end this plot tomorrow, I have a big head to write)
