Datang: Only by resisting the decree can we become stronger

"You two children are good children. They are happy with each other. Love is stronger than gold. They live and die together. As for the other things, I have nothing to worry about."

To Li Qiu, the words of the old county king were like a drum in the evening and a bell in the morning.

In the past, Li Qiu's self-protection strategy was to open a tavern quietly, not to cause trouble, not to cause trouble, and to get to know more thighs.

But this strategy proved to be wrong from the beginning.

Even when he was opening a tavern, he was almost killed several times by Shu Wang Li Ke and the tricked Cheng Yaojin.

But now that he has changed from a small businessman to Mu Xiu Yulin, and is envied by everyone, the previous strategy is even more inadvisable.

It seems that my knowledge and understanding of this ancient times and ancient society is still too superficial.

But just as he was shocked in his heart, and when he quickly digested and understood the words of the old county king, he heard the old county king's last words.

I almost vomited blood in my heart: I said, old prince, if you want to say that we live together and die together, because Youzhou City was broken and foreign enemies invaded, this can barely be justified.

But the two love each other, love is stronger than gold, where does this start?

From the beginning to the end, I only saw Ling's granddaughter once, and I didn't even say a word...

I don't know why, when thinking of his marriage contract, Li Qiu feels inexplicably uncomfortable in his heart.

……

After taking his farewell from the old county king, Li Qiu came to Duke Ying's mansion again.

As soon as he heard that he was coming, the samurai Xun rushed out to welcome him very enthusiastically.

Li Qiu, as usual, saluted him with a very respectful smile, "Master."

"The boy is now in a desolate house, so he can only come to visit empty-handed."

The warrior Xun laughed and took his hand and walked inside, "Haha, Li Qiu, now your rank is higher than mine."

"Don't see anyone in the family, just call me uncle from now on."

"And this money is the most worthless thing in this world."

"When Wu Sui passes through the door in the future, I will give you both a big dowry."

"I guarantee that you will never spend your whole life."

Hearing what the warrior Xun said, Li Qiu couldn't hold back immediately.

He sighed very apologetically and said that he was afraid that he would not be able to marry Wu Sui as his wife as he had thought before.

In Li Qiu's heart, he dared to speak against the decree.

But what is the reason for this resistance?

Yu Li, you have a marriage contract, and Miss Luo's family didn't make a single mistake, so why do you regret your marriage and divorce her?

Yu Qing, whether it's the old county king, the soldiers and common people of Youzhou, or Luo Cheng's fraternal brothers, or the emperor and empress, all these friendships added together are too heavy.

Before he finished speaking, the warrior Xun hastily silenced him.

"You child, stop talking nonsense."

"That's the marriage that His Majesty proposed for you in front of the civil and military officials of the court. Your Majesty and Your Majesty will personally witness your marriage. What else is there to say about such a thing?"

"Li Qiu, the royal family is ruthless, you have no joke."

"You are no longer who you were before. Whether you speak or do things in the future, remember to be careful."

"Furthermore, from the very beginning, the girl Wu Jue has made her own choice. She would rather be your concubine than marry the Zheng family, a nobleman, as the main wife."

"This girl really likes you."

"And as a father, I only have one wish, that is, you two can live a good life, and Wu Jue can live a happy life, and I am content."

At this time, after hearing the news of Li Qiu's arrival, Wu Jue walked out quickly in a very happy mood.

When she saw Li Qiu, her two sweet dimples gave Li Qiu a sweet smile.

"Brother Li Qiu."

Of course, with so many people present, she didn't dare to get too close to Li Qiu, so she could only sit next to her father.

At this time, the samurai laughed loudly, "Li Qiu, now you have achieved great success, you have a fief, a title, and a place of food, and you are now a second-rank official residence."

"Wait for His Majesty to witness the marriage for you, and after you are married, find a good day to send Wu Jue to your residence."

Hearing what Samurai Xun said, Wu Jue lowered his head in embarrassment, his face flushed, and he was looking forward to it in his heart.

Chapter 122

In ancient times, there were some things that Li Qiu only had a real deep understanding of after he came to this world.

Many people of later generations, when watching TV dramas and movies, always think that the ancient people were polygamous.

In fact, it is not the case.

In that era, Ji concubines were not even considered legal spouses.

To be precise, it is monogamy and multiple concubines.

That's why there is such a thing as marrying a wife and taking a concubine.

Marrying a wife is an auspicious day, and the media is getting married, worshiping heaven and earth, and entering the bridal chamber.

Take a concubine, choose a good day at will, simply go through the procedure, and send it through the door.

When marrying a wife, the property sent to the father-in-law's family is called dowry.

The property given when taking a concubine is called the capital for buying a concubine.

The laws of the Tang Dynasty all have clear regulations: concubines are cheap, and concubines can be bought and sold.Those who take concubines and Hakka women as their wives will be punished for one and a half years.

That is, if someone promotes a concubine to a wife, he will be imprisoned for one and a half years.

In the social environment at that time, the status of a concubine was far more humble than Li Qiu originally thought.

Even, at night, the concubine cannot stay with her husband all night.

Once the husband fell asleep, the concubine had to leave.

Even the current emperor Li Shimin had to abide by this rule.

Even in the palace, some rules will become more stringent.

Like ordinary concubines, they are not qualified to be alone in the same room with Li Shimin during the day.

This right belongs exclusively to the Queen.

Anyway, in short, Li Qiu is quite disgusted and disagrees with these kinds of phenomena and systems.

So when the warrior Xun proposed to send Wu Jue through the door, Li Qiu shook his head very seriously and resolutely.

"Uncle, I will never let Miss Wu Jue suffer any grievances with me."

"Even if everyone in the world opposes it, I still want the matchmaker to marry, without any compromise, and formally marry Miss Wu Sui into my home!"

Hearing his words, the samurai Xun raised his head in shock.

"Li Qiu, why are you talking nonsense again?"

"A wife is a wife, and a concubine is a concubine, so how can they be confused?"

"Right now, you are already a thorn in the eyes of the nobles in this world, a thorn in your flesh."

"If you commit this kind of tongue-in-cheek again, they will punish you verbally and in writing!"

"Your mind, and your feelings for Wu Jue, uncle knows here."

"You should just follow what I said. After you get married, you can pick a day to welcome Wu Jue girl over."

However, Li Qiu chuckled lightly, and the expression in his eyes was extremely determined.

"Marrying Miss Wujue is what I wish, so what does it have to do with them?"

"Even if Hengmei Leng pointed at Qianfu, the boy didn't have the slightest fear."

"It's a big deal. I'm afraid it's more comfortable to resign and go home and take Miss Wu Jue to enjoy the world together than to stay here and watch these guys all day."

"Uncle, please rest assured. I will be cautious about this matter, but I will definitely do it."

Seeing Li Qiu like this, the warrior Xun heaved a deep sigh.

I am happy for my daughter, but at the same time I am worried that I don't know how to persuade Li Qiu.

Based on his understanding of Li Qiu, this child is a very stubborn person with his own opinions.

And it may be related to his teacher's school. Many of his views and opinions are very different from those of the world.

At this time, Wu Jue was moved with tears in his eyes.

"Brother Li Qiu, Wu Jue is already very content with your kindness."

"For Wu Jue, being able to accompany brother Li Qiu is the happiest thing in this life."

"As for the others, Wu Jue doesn't have extravagant hopes."

"Also, Wu Jue doesn't want you to face that accusation, Brother Li Qiu."

Li Qiu naturally refused Wu Jue's plea.

At this time, the warrior Xun smiled, "Okay, let's talk about the future."

"It's time for lunch now, Li Qiu, let's stay and have lunch together."

At this moment, Li Qiu also hurriedly saluted with a smile, "That kid would be more respectful than obedient."

"Nowadays, there is nothing in the boy's mansion."

"It's been too busy these days, and I haven't had time to take care of it."

Later, during the meal, they also talked about the Furong Garden.

The warrior Xun told Li Qiu that the Furong Garden was originally a royal garden.

A place for these princes and princes to play.

But now His Majesty has rewarded you with this garden, and it has become your private residence.

All the expenses will be borne by you, the owner of the garden.

So, you try to delay for a few days.

First let the Ministry of Industry fix everything that can be repaired and repaired inside.

In this way, Li Qiu, you can save a lot of money.

Hearing what the warrior Xun said, Li Qiu was naturally very grateful and thanked him repeatedly.

But at the same time, this was the second time since his elder grandson Wuji's implicit expression, he felt uneasy.

It seems that it is not an easy task for me to take over this Hibiscus Garden.

So in the next few days, Li Qiu picked up his official uniform, seal, and other messy things.

Only this Furong Garden, he hid whenever he could, tried all kinds of excuses, but just refused to explain.

At least we have to wait until the Hibiscus Garden is repaired by the Samurai Yu dispatched work department.

Although he didn't ask in detail, he roughly estimated a number from the words of the samurai Xun.

Just to carry out this kind of large-scale repair, it will cost nearly ten thousand guan.

How big a project must this be? !

With this question, he didn't understand why he spent so much money until he personally took a carriage and spent a whole day running around the Furong Garden.

Just because the Furong Garden covers an area that is too large!

30 hectares!

It is full of palace gardens, landscapes, and various pavilions and courtyards. It is really not easy to repair it.

However, when Li Qiu was inspecting the periphery of Furong Garden, he discovered a strange phenomenon.

At each gate of Furong Garden, there are a large number of officials, craftsmen, and guards wearing new official uniforms and work uniforms to sign their identities there.

Then filed in, beaming into the hibiscus garden.

Out of curiosity, Li Qiu ordered the guards at the side to quietly go forward to inquire, to see what these people were doing.
