Chapter 33 033: Mr. Chu
The sound of motorcycle bells approaching gradually.
Shen Tang trotted back after inquiring, pretending to be mysterious: "Why didn't Yuanliang ask me? Are you not curious about that news?"
Qishan held her breath, and said flatly what made her fist hard: "Youli is not someone who can hold back her words."
Shen Tang: "..."
Daily I want to jump up and perform a craniotomy on Qishan.
"It's really rare to have such a big mouth and live in peace." Shen Tang teased, but Qi Shan didn't even frown. She could only say, "According to the butcher, the old gentleman is still nearby. A 'celebrity' in the area, whose family name is 'Chu'."
Qi Shan asked: "Which word is it?"
There are not many surnames with the same pronunciation.
Shen Tang inquired with the butcher a few times, and replied: "It should be the 'Chu' who 'takes the clothes and wears them', and the clothes are 'Chu'."
Hearing that it was Chu, Qi Shan frowned imperceptibly, but Shen Tang was two steps behind him and didn't notice it.
"Chu... this surname is rare in both Xin and Geng."
Shen Tang asked: "Which country is more common?"
Qishan shook his head, avoided talking about this question, and changed the subject: "Besides the surname, have you found out anything else?"
Shen Tang said: "The butcher also said that Mr. Chu was a slave who was sent to the market for cheap sale five years ago. At that time, more than 30 slaves were sent. He also heard that there were originally more than 200 slaves, and he was going to pull They were sold elsewhere, but the plague struck on the way, and only a few died, so they could only be sold to Xiaocheng nearby. Because of the plague, the price of slaves is very cheap..."
Qi Shan asked: "Five years ago? Are you sure it's this time?"
Shen Tang carefully recalled the butcher's words: "The butcher doesn't remember very clearly, it may be more than five years and a few months...Mr. Chu was bought by Yuehualou as an extra, until now. I also made a special trip to I found out what Yuehua Building is..."
Before finishing speaking, Qi Shan said: "It's the Xianggu House."
Shen Tang paused, looked at Qishan's back with weird eyes, and muttered: "How do you know so clearly?"
Where is Xianggu House?
A place where both men and women can go to have fun.
Qi Shan didn't answer directly, but turned her head and said in a childlike tone: "Your pear hasn't reached the age to understand these things."
Shen Tang: "..."
She made a **** in her heart.
Your sister and I have grown up eight hundred years earlier, thank you!
Pray for goodness: "What is this gentleman doing in Yuehua Building?"
Shen Tang said inexplicably: "It must be working as a handyman in the back kitchen. Mr. Chu is old and has no strength, and he can't do heavy work. At most, he can help with chores such as washing dishes, washing dishes, and delivering vegetables. Age, what else do you think you can do?"
Pray for goodness: "..."
He bet three pennies, Mr. Shen Xiaolang must have missed it.
in addition-
Qishan said in a flat tone: "This person is a bit weird and has a lot of contradictions. It can be seen from a hand-to-hand conversation with him earlier that his attainments in literature, heart, speech and spirit are not low, at least not inferior to mine. This Xiaocheng It’s really hidden dragon and crouching tiger, very interesting.”
Shen Tang was surprised: "Not under you?"
"Perhaps, it's still on top of this."
Shen Tang was puzzled: "With this talent, even if he falls into the downcast situation of being bought back by the Xianggu Pavilion, he won't be able to do so many chores in the back kitchen, right? If he wants to live a better life, it shouldn't be difficult, but It doesn't look like he's dressed."
Qi Shan narrowed her eyes and sneered.
"Who knows what he thinks? However, speaking of the surname 'Chu' reminds me of an old case."
When Shen Tang heard this, the soul of gossip was awakened, and he immediately regained his spirits—according to the usual routine, the so-called "old case" is inextricably linked to Mr. Chu in nine out of ten cases.
Even if he is not the party concerned, he is also a relative of the party concerned.
These are all routines!
"What old case?"
Qishan smiled and said: "There are marriages between all countries in the world, and marriages are everywhere. A few years ago, the Xin Kingdom was strong and powerful, and the surrounding small countries followed suit with their leaders, and they did not hesitate to present their king's concubine to the Xin Kingdom's court. One of the queen concubines was Surnamed 'Chu'."
"Oh, what then?"
Qishan continued to tell the story to Shen Tang: "This 'Chu' surnamed Wang Ji from another country just entered the Yeting of the Xin Kingdom, and was favored by the Lord of the Xin Kingdom. "Zheng Qiao has to avoid her edge. It is said that this favorite concubine has read poetry and books, is tolerant and kind, and soon became pregnant again, which has great potential to enter the middle palace. As a result, she suffered a miscarriage in five months of pregnancy and died suddenly."
Shen Tang listened carefully to every word, for fear of missing the point.
"I bet it's not that simple behind it."
Qishan nodded and said: "Of course it's not that simple. There are many rumors in the market. Some say that the beloved concubine and the guards were discovered by the king, and there are also rumors that the fetus in the womb of the beloved concubine is actually Zheng Qiao's. Not long after that, Zheng Qiao returned home. Kingdom, Xin Guo sent troops to destroy the old country of Chongji. It is said that when the country was destroyed, the Lord of Xin State secretly ordered the massacre of the city, and tormented the prince Xungui of that small country... Judging by the attitude of the Lord of Xin State, it is estimated that those rumors in the market are somewhat true .Of course, it is also possible that Zheng Qiao cheated and framed this beloved concubine in order to return home smoothly."
Shen Tang: "..."
Could this be the legendary "Feng Shui turns around"?
Xin Guo also did the thing of destroying the country and massacring the city, tossing the royal family, and not giving the prisoners any dignity. Now it is Zheng Qiao's turn to kill Xin Guo, not only copying Xin Guo's previous show operations, but also playing new tricks, so Xin Wang's concubine [naked] [body] surrendered.
This is called "green out of blue and better than blue".
Shen Tang guessed: "Yuanliang means that Mr. Chu may be a member of the royal family of that small country?"
"It's hard to say. It may be, or it may not be." The largest surname in the small country that was destroyed was "Chu".
Qi Shan let out a breath of turbid air slowly, and temporarily suppressed the complicated emotions churning in his chest: "Let's not talk about these, Mr. Shen Xiaolang, let's go to the place where we are staying and settle down first, and the rest will be done slowly."
The next period of time will be spent in Xiaocheng.
Shen Tang shrugged indifferently: "Everything is up to Yuanliang."
Unfamiliar with the place, I can only count on this "guiding NPC".
Prayer brings Shen Tang to a remote house.
Although the house is small, it has all internal organs, and the master's exquisite thoughts are everywhere. The owner of the house is an elderly peasant couple, about fifty in appearance. As soon as the two appeared, the old lady came up to her with a smile and led Shen Tang to her room.
The room is close to the courtyard, and you can see the patio in the courtyard when you open the wooden door, praying to live next door. After the old couple left, she asked, "Yuanliang knows these two?"
The old couple communicated with Qishan very familiarly, as if they were old acquaintances.
Qi Shan said: "I have known you for five or six years..."
Shen Tang frowned.
I don’t know if it’s because she’s suspicious and cares inexplicably about “Five or Six Years~www..com~ There are some comments saying Wen Xin Wu Bold is sexist, and those who feel uncomfortable watching it, please reply here.
The similar setting of Wenxin Wudan should be regarded as an old meme that was popular a few years ago.
In the subject matter of male videos, there are generally settings that women cannot have this ability. This article is set to increase the conflict in the plot. The background of the novel is similar to the fictional ancient times, and the status of women will inevitably be restricted, and the setting of the literary heart and bravery has a certain prototype for the imperial examination and martial arts.
There is no need to rush the current situation.
In my opinion, discrimination is not the key, the key is to overthrow this discrimination during the development of the plot.
PS: There will be many key female roles in this article (especially those who are active in career).
