Chapter 316: The Girl Riding an Elephant(1/2)
Xin Yi saw the uncontrollable nervousness on Da Hua's face, shook her head, but said nothing with a smile.
As expected, Dahua couldn't hold herself any longer, so she jumped off the elephant's back and walked towards her.
"Tell me the truth and I'll give you this..."
She took off a silver bracelet from her wrist and handed it to Xin Yi.
Xin Yi raised his eyebrows, pursed his lips and shook his head again, looking at her with a half-smile.
"The Song Dynasty was rich, and I have no shortage of money."
Doesn’t this mean that you look down on silver bracelets?
Dahua's cheeks were slightly hot, and she suddenly turned around and shouted to the maid, "Go get my treasure."
The maid glanced at Xin Yi and left. When she came back, she had a purse made of blue and black cloth in her hand, which contained an ingot of gold and Dahua's favorite jewelry.
From Xinyi's point of view, these are indeed not precious treasures, but Dahua thinks they are excellent.
Xin Yi sighed.
She likes gold ingots and jewelry, but she is also afraid that the Prince of Guangling County will take advantage of her if he finds out.
So, she pushed her purse back sadly.
"Girl, I am not a person who is blind to money."
Dahua had a better impression of her and confessed her feelings seriously.
"I am the daughter of the native chief who wants to be the concubine of Prince Guangling... Then can you tell me what kind of person Prince Guangling is... How terrible is it to be his concubine?"
Xin Yi pondered for a moment, and when Duan Sui kept looking at the sky with his white eyes, he sighed deeply, "Look, girl, you are a pure-hearted person, so I will tell you the truth."
Dahua nodded.
Xin Yi said: "First, you are most likely not to be liked by the Prince of Guangling. Although you are very cute, your father forced him to agree this time. Do you think he will really like you? Even if he reluctantly takes you back,
, they are usually placed in the backyard and kept like cats and dogs, and you may not see them a few times in your life."
When she said this, Dahua's face turned even paler.
Xin Yi said: "Secondly, I think girls like to raise elephants, and they must like freedom. But if you enter the palace of Guangling County Prince, freedom will have nothing to do with you. Women in the Song Dynasty have many rules, and women who are men's concubines have many rules.
More. Not only the elders in the family
You must be careful in the morning and dusk. When he marries a wife, you must obey his wife's words and greet her in the morning and evening. Even if you are favored by the prince and give birth to his child, the child will not call you mother, because you are the servant.
Concubine, at most call me aunt..."
Dahua pursed her lips, "What else?"
"Third." Xin Yi frowned, "Bianjing's food culture is different from that of a cave. You are in a foreign country, you can't eat the food you want, and you can't see your parents and clan members..."
Dahua frowned, "Then you haven't said yet, what kind of person is Prince Guangling?"
Xin Yi thought for a moment, "Not a good person."
Dahua's eyes widened slightly, "Is he scary?"
Xin Yi nodded: "It's very scary. His temper is unstable. He beats and scolds whenever he wants. He kills people like crazy. He is insidious and vicious. Countless people have died at his hands..."
After a pause, she glanced at Da Hua and said, "Have you ever heard of him killing Ji Wei and 38 other people in Guizhou a while ago?"
Dahua's face turned pale, "I heard that heads were rolling on the ground, and some people were cut in half, and their intestines were leaking out... Are those people killed by him?"
Xin Yi glanced at her expression and said, "That's right."
Dahua bit her lower lip, nervousness and fear filled her face. She looked up at the small building where the chief had given Fu Jiuqu to live. She refused to stay for even more than a moment, and didn't even say goodbye to Xin Yi. She turned around and called the maid, and rode on
The elephant hurried away.
Duan Sui looked at Xin Yi in shock for a moment, then saw her red lips bursting into a smile, and continued to walk around the garden happily, as if nothing had happened, and his whole body was feeling bad.
"How can the little lady arrange Master Jiu like this?"
Xin Yi hummed, ignoring Duan Sui's surprised expression.
He asked seriously: "Did I say something wrong?"
Without waiting for Duan Sui to answer, she chuckled again, "Think about the salary you were deducted and the slaps you received."
"That's right." Duan Sui thought about it carefully and found that Xin Yi did not say anything wrong.
Even the killing of the thirty-eight people in Jiwei was not made up randomly.
However, Xin Yi did not tell Da Hua the reason why Fu Jiuqu killed someone.
How is this considered deception?
~~
During the day, Xin Yi and Fu Jiuqu, led by Master Shi, walked around the city and experienced the exotic customs.
Mr. Shi was proficient in the local language and acted as a translator and tour guide. Under his leadership, Xin Yi was like a tourist from afar, interested in everything he saw. When he returned, he happily brought back a bunch of fruits.
In the evening, the local chief sent his servants to bring food, but Fu Jiuqu did not eat it. He only asked Sun Huai to dispose of it secretly. Then he took out the dry food brought from the Song army's camp and had a meal of fruits.
Xin Yi felt a pity watching the food being thrown away.
"Then Brother Ninth won't eat anything at the banquet tomorrow?"
Fu Jiuqu smiled faintly, "So what?"
Xin Yi thought for a moment and nodded, "Okay, not really."
Fu Jiuqu is such a person.
He refuses to give face to others and doesn't care who the other person is. This is his virtue. Since it was the local chief who invited him here, what does it matter whether he uses it or not?
Xin Yi lowered his head and ate the sesame seed cake silently.
Suddenly I heard Fu Jiuqu say without emotion: "Sleep with me tonight."
What? Xin Yi raised his head suddenly.
Fu Jiuqu was sitting upright, with a graceful posture, and no half-partial intention could be seen.
She murmured softly and continued to eat sesame seed cakes with her head lowered. Under her calm appearance, her heart was beating fast.
But I was wondering in my heart, Fu Jiuqu had been holding it in for so long, would he be here... hmm hmm hmm?
~
Xin Yi felt uneasy and the time became extremely long.
At night, after taking a shower, she entered Fu Jiuqu's room and saw the floor mat beside the wooden window, and then she realized how impure her thoughts were.
Strictly speaking, the house is all on the floor because there are no beds.
It's just that the tatami-like floor in the middle of the room is wider, while the one by the window only has a bamboo strips and straw mat.
The lights in the room were dim, and Xin Yi glanced at Fu Jiuqu who was sitting cross-legged.
He was looking through some books, but Xin Yi didn't come near and lay down on the bamboo mat by the window.
I'm obviously very sleepy, but I don't feel sleepy.
She yawned, turned her head and looked out the window at the bamboo forest and banana trees.
In the dark night, all these shadows seemed to have turned into human shapes, making the night particularly deserted.
"Come and sleep."
Fu Jiuqu's voice was low and quiet.
Xin Yi choked, turned his head, and opened his eyes slightly.
"Isn't this... bad?"
Fu Jiuqu pursed his lips and looked, his dark eyes somewhat narrowed.
"It's spacious here."
As he spoke, he walked over, sat down next to Xin Yi, and said calmly: "I'll sleep here."
Only then did Xin Yi understand that he wanted to change places with her, not ask her to go over and sleep with him.
Cough! Xin Yi suspected that he was too nervous and his mind was so unclear that he was almost mentally ill.
"Okay." She glanced at the tall figure lying next to her, then moved into the house holding the quilt.
Different couches, but it's like sleeping on the same couch.
Fu Jiuqu turned off the lights, and the space suddenly became quiet and distant.
Xin Yi closed his eyes and forced himself to fall asleep. After failing, he opened his eyes and sighed helplessly, "Brother Ninth seems to have said very little tonight..."
After a while, Fu Jiuqu's low voice came, "When do I talk too much?"
Xin Yi was silent, "Why don't you ask me?"
"Um?"
"I saw what happened to Dahua during the day."
