The first-class concubine of the Song Dynasty

Chapter 19
In the evening, the autumn wind was a bit heartbreaking, but it was still more desolate.

Ah Lu had no choice but to confess everything about himself.

"The little man left the winery to go home that day, and met a man named He Er. The man said that as long as I was willing to tell him how to make strong wind wine, he would give the little man 50 taels of silver. The little man had never seen it before. With so much money, I was fooled by money for a moment, so I agreed to them, and the person I saw today was He Er, and he bought some news about the winery from my hands."

Speaking of this, Liu Wei frowned slightly, and said: "Then who is He Er instructed by?"

"This little one doesn't know."

At this time, A Lu had already told everything he knew, Liu Wei was silent for a moment, and said: "Chop off his three fingers, and don't let my son-in-law see him again."

When Ah Lu heard that he was going to chop off his fingers, he knelt down and begged for mercy, but Liu Wei's expression was firm and could not be questioned.

In fact, Liu Wei is not a vicious person, it's just that this kind of atmosphere can't last long, he must establish a majesty in the Liu Family Winery, only in this way, other people in the Liu Family Winery dare not casually disclose the news here, and cut off Alu's three roots Fingers are nothing more than killing chickens and monkeys.

Regarding Liu Wei's order, Liu Quan and the others did not hesitate. They took out their knives and snapped off A Lu's three fingers quickly, and then threw A Lu out of the Liu Family Winery without hesitation. For them, since Ah Lu is not on the same line with them, there is no need to be polite.

When this is done, the evening is over and the night is getting late.

When Liu Wei returned to the mansion, seeing that Princess Ruyi hadn't rested yet, she felt a little puzzled, and was about to go to have a look, when Xiaoyu came out from inside: "My son-in-law, the princess is here to invite you."

Liu Wei nodded, and followed Xiaoyu into the princess' boudoir.

The princess was wearing a white shirt tonight, and when Liu Wei came in, he smiled lightly and said, "The day after tomorrow is the Qixi Festival, just now there was news from the palace that the princesses and their concubines should come to the palace on the night of the Qixi Festival." Let's go to the banquet, and the son-in-law should also get ready."

Liu Wei was a little disappointed when he heard that the chief of Ruyi County said this, he thought that the chief of Ruyi County had consummated the marriage with him, but it turned out that it was not at all, it was just for the palace banquet on Qixi Festival.

Liu Wei knew that Qixi Festival was considered a very important festival for the ancient people, and it would be very lively at night. It was not surprising that the Song Dynasty was very enthusiastic about it not long after the founding of the country.

After the two of them finished talking about the Qixi Palace Banquet, Princess Ruyi suddenly asked about the sale of high-concentration wine at the Lu Family Winery on the East Street. The traitor Ah Lu's handling method.

Princess Ruyi didn't have any objection to Liu Wei's breaking off Alu's three fingers after listening to it. It seems that for a person like her who was used to killing with the Queen Mother Zhaoxian since childhood, breaking three fingers is just a trivial matter .

Princess Ruyi didn't say anything about this punishment, she just asked with some doubts: "Aren't you going to find out who is behind the scenes?"

Liu Wei thought for a while, then shook his head: "So what if we find it out? Even if we know that they have stolen our technology by improper means, what can we do to them? The laws of the Song Dynasty can't control this of."

Throughout the ages, Chinese people have always had a weak awareness of copyright and patents, and this is the case in later generations, let alone the Song Dynasty, where the laws were not perfect. Since they can't do anything about them, why bother to find them?
It was precisely because of this that Liu Wei focused on punishing A Lu. What he needed to do was to prevent such things from happening again.

Princess Ruyi didn't expect Liu Wei to see things so thoroughly, and could only sigh helplessly in the end.
-
When she left Princess Ruyi's boudoir and came to her own room, Lvyi had already made her own bed, and she kept touching a round box on the table. After touching it, she seemed to want to Open it to have a look, but hesitate again.

Seeing her like this, Liu Wei asked curiously, "Lv Yi, what are you doing?"

Lvyi was taken aback, and quickly stood aside, so cautious that she forgot to answer Liu Wei's question.

And Liu Wei smiled lightly: "What is in the box that makes you want to see it so much but dare not look at it?"

The green clothes hesitated, and finally replied: "My son-in-law, it's... It's a spider, and it was bought from the street by the servant for two pennies."

Hearing this, Liu Wei was puzzled, and asked in surprise: "A spider, you actually paid two cents for it? Don't we even have spiders in our house?"

The green clothes shook his head again and again: "This... this spider is different, this spider can weave circular webs."

Liu Wei was about to collapse completely, he didn't understand what the green clothes said at all, so what if a spider can weave a circular web, it's still a spider, and the spider weaves a web, it seems to change due to the situation, Whether it weaves a round web or not, who can be sure until it weaves it?

But soon, Liu Wei calmed down. He glanced at the green clothes. This woman with a slightly plump figure is still very beautiful. It is not an exaggeration to use the word beauty to describe her, and she is not stupid, so Do it, there must be a reason for it.

"What... do you want the spider to weave a round web?"

After Liu Wei asked this question, the green clothes suddenly showed a bit of shyness, and lowered her head: "The day after tomorrow is the Qixi Festival, catch a spider, if you can weave a round web, in the future... you will be able to be happy and consummated in the future. Like Cowherd and Weaver Girl, we can only meet once a year."

After hearing Lvyi's words, Liu Wei suddenly realized that this little girl wanted to find a happy marriage for herself. At her age, it is indeed time for Huaichun. It is normal to have such thoughts.

But when Liu Wei saw Lu Yi's blushing face, she couldn't help but want to tease her, but considering that she was only sixteen or seventeen years old, she couldn't help it in the end, only half-jokingly. Said: "The ancients said that one year is on the ground and one day is in the sky. The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl probably meet every day in the sky. Who dares to say that they are not perfect in the sky?"

This point of view is a joke of later generations, but it seems very novel to Lvyi, who is new to Lvyi, and thinks it makes sense, but after thinking about it carefully, it seems that he is not satisfied, because if they are in the sky every day If we can meet each other, then the many legends related to it will no longer touch people's hearts, right?

"The son-in-law...the son-in-law will fool the green clothes, the green clothes...the green clothes..." The green clothes seemed to be very angry, but after talking about the green clothes several times, the anger suddenly dissipated, and there was no way to express it .

Liu Wei lost sleepiness after being teased by her. The long night was long and he felt quite bored, so he ordered: "Go and get the chess board, let's play chess to pass the time."

Liu Wei had a lot of research on Go in his previous life, and he also dabbled in various chess games. Now that he is bored, playing chess is a pleasure, but as soon as he finished speaking, Lu Yi hesitated and said: "Slave... Slave will not Down."

At this time, Liu Weicai suddenly realized that although Go is a kind of ancient qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, it is not just anyone who wants to learn it, anyone can learn it?
But Liu Wei didn't care about it, and said: "Go is cumbersome, and it's really not easy to learn. The son-in-law will teach you how to learn it, and you will be able to learn it in the next game. Backgammon, whoever connects five pieces first, will be considered the winner."

Late at night, the autumn wind is raging.

From time to time, laughter came from Liu Wei's side, although the laughter was low, it still reached Princess Ruyi, Princess Ruyi was a little puzzled, so she called Xiaoyu and said, "Go and see why the son-in-law is so noisy. "

Xiaoyu took the order, and came back in a hurry after a while.

"Princess, that's the sound of Lvyi's laughter when he wins a game of chess with his son-in-law. Look at it, Lvyi has already won dozens of coins."

Princess Ruyi frowned slightly: "Play chess? This princess has never heard of green clothes playing chess?"

Xiaoyu smiled lightly: "Princess, the game played by the green clothes and the son-in-law is not Go, but backgammon created by the son-in-law. The maidservant only took one look at it and understood what was going on."

Princess Ruyi frowned slightly. Chess, which can tell what's going on just by looking at it, would definitely not be any fun, but at this time Princess Ruyi didn't feel sleepy anymore, so she ordered Xiaoyu to bring the chessboard in her house and asked Xiaoyu Said the rules of backgammon again.

At the beginning, neither of them knew what to do, but after playing two rounds, they seemed to come to their senses. All kinds of chasing and intercepting, although not as fierce as Go fighting, are also full of dangers. It is possible for the opponent to take the lead.

After playing this way for more than a dozen rounds, the two of them became very proficient, but Princess Ruyi suddenly stopped playing.

In the dark of night, Princess Ruyi was lying on the bed tossing and turning. She used to think that Liu Wei was an incompetent person. If Liu Wei's father hadn't opened the Liu Family Winery, the emperor would never let herself marry him. But now she found that Liu Wei Wei Wei not only knows how to do business, but also sees things very thoroughly. In addition, she was able to create an original game of chess and cards. In just a few months, Liu Wei did a lot of things that surprised her. The heart that was originally hard has gradually softened.

Shouldn't we be more like a husband and wife with him?

Just when Princess Ruyi thought this way, she shook her head again and again, because she couldn't lose face. Even if she was a downcast princess, and her father was a prince after death, she was still a princess after all. The blood of the royal family is flowing, and she can't do it if she is asked to find Liu Wei to restore the relationship between husband and wife.

When the night was dark, the autumn wind subsided unexpectedly, and the crescent moon in the sky showed a head through the clouds, but it was quickly covered by the clouds again, and the cicadas seemed to have stopped singing, but there was no such thing as the bushes and the corners of the house at this time. Be quiet, because the autumn insects that have been dormant for a long time seem to have come back to life suddenly.
