"I heard that it was originally 'watching the tide', but later they thought 'watching' was not as good as 'looking', so they changed it to 'looking at the tide'. This person is not a good person." Qi Shan tried to erase the word 'octopus' from his mind, but the more he thought about it, the harder it was to erase it. He grabbed the wooden door, trying to hold back his laughter until veins popped out on his forehead.
After a while, he finally lost his concentration, his chest heaving up and down: "Puff—Octopus, Wangchao, Mr. Shen is a wonderful person!"
No decent person ever thought of it that way.
It can be seen that Mr. Shen is really not serious.
Shen Tang just thought that he had a low sense of humor and was peculiar.
Is there anything funny about this
“… I think you’re gloating.”
Qi Shan tried to hold back his laughter.
He said: "This is not what a gentleman does. You misunderstood."
Shen Tang: “…”
There's nothing wrong with trusting you.
Qi Shan coughed a few times, took a deep breath, adjusted the smile on his face, and lowered his head to fix the slightly deformed bamboo strips. "Seriously, Young Master Shen should be on guard against Gu Chi. Not to mention that his way of writing is to 'read minds', even if it is not, he is the best at reading minds and words among the people I know, and he holds grudges and his methods are vicious."
Shen Tang said: "I know the first part, but I don't see that he holds a grudge. I think this person is quite interesting..."
Qishan poured a basin of cold water on her.
"Only time can reveal a person's true character. You only talked to him a few times, so how can you be sure that he is broad-minded? Don't think he is interesting. This person is a poisonous snake. His scales are gorgeous and he looks beautiful, but if you dare to tease him, he will be poisonous as soon as he opens his mouth!"
Shen Tang: “…”
Is it too late to say this now
Not only did she tease him, she also openly expressed her feelings in front of him, and at the same time she made some indirect accusations and made some sarcastic remarks.
Is this a highlight of life
I also know Gu Chi's weakness. If it is true as Qi Shan said, maybe he will send people to assassinate, poison, or kill him to silence him
However, we lost the battle even though we lost the fight.
Shen Tang is best at talking tough.
"What a coincidence. I can catch snakes."
Qi Shan glanced at Shen Tang’s pitiful little body.
"You want to catch snakes? Sure, I'll buy you two later."
It’s good enough if I don’t get scared and cry.
"Snake soup? Yuanliang can try it, it's really delicious." Shen Tang's mind automatically popped up several different ways of making snake soup. She secretly sipped her saliva, "I drink less. After all, I'm young and strong, and my yang energy is strong. I'm afraid I can't take the tonic."
Qishan: “…”
Once again, I wanted to put the bamboo strips on this guy's head.
When the sky was darkening and the sun was setting, and only a small tail of the setting sun remained, Qishan finally finished weaving the bamboo strips - a small bamboo basket the size of a washbasin, delicate and meticulous, with the barbs of the bamboo strips carefully polished, looking like a fruit plate.
He also sewed a small cloth pillow, stuffed with soft and small pieces of cloth. It was slightly smaller than the bamboo basket and could serve as a pillow for the cat.
Shen Tang: “…”
This is probably the self-cultivation of cat slaves.
For the sake of the cat owner, the lady can twist the embroidery needle and master needlework to make an exquisite little nest waiting for the cat owner to move in.
The harmonious atmosphere did not last long before it was broken by a hurried knock on the door, and Chu Yao's voice could be faintly heard from outside the door.
Boom boom boom—
"Brother Yuanliang, come and lend a hand."
Qi Shan went forward to open the door, and the stench of alcohol that hit him almost made him sick. He looked closely and saw that it was Chu Yao who sent the fat boy home. There was also a familiar strong man on his back, and blood was flowing out from the wound and soaking his clothes, which made people frown.
"Gong Shuwu?"
I hadn't seen him the whole day and thought he was staying in the house recuperating from his injuries, but I didn't expect him to be drunk and reek of alcohol.
Your injury hasn't even healed yet, but you can't wait to drink
Shen Tang also heard the noise and ran out.
"Why is he so drunk?"
"Wulang, let's not talk about this for now. Let's go inside first." Qi Shan helped to support Gong Shuwu. Chu Yao was free. He took him to the courtyard gate and peeked out for a few times. He closed the gate after making sure that no suspicious people were following him. He said, "He is probably feeling uncomfortable."
After the afternoon class, he sent the fat kid back to the butcher shop and bought some meat to cook minced meat and egg custard for Wu Lang. He happened to see Gong Shuwu buying wine outside the wine shop. He didn't know how long he had been drinking here. There were more than 20 round-bellied wine jars piled up at the table and feet.
I drank so much that my eyes turned red and tears flowed.
Chu Yao was worried that something might happen so he carried him back, and on the way he found out the reason for his abnormal drinking.
But the reason is really—
"Uncomfortable?" Qi Shan had some guesses in his mind, "Could it be that he met someone from the exiled Gong family in the city?"
He was worried that Gong Shuwu's identity would be exposed.
Chu Yao shook his head but did not directly tell the reason. Instead, he looked at Shen Tang and the others with hesitation, as if he found it difficult to speak.
He didn't know whether he should say this, but he said it in the end.
"Not long ago, a notice was posted at the city gate."
Qishan asked, "What does the notice say?"
Which family or tribe was exiled by Zheng Qiao
Even so, it's not worth it for Gong Shu to get drunk on Wudang Street, right
Or has Zheng Qiao done something weird again
"The content of the notice is somewhat unbearable..."
"Unbearable?"
Qi Shan had a vague sense of foreboding.
Chu Yao hesitated and spoke reluctantly: "Didn't Zheng Qiao ask the king of Xin to abdicate to his only princess?"
I pray for kindness and a sense of sympathy.
But he didn't expect that the truth was far more unacceptable than he thought.
"I know about this."
Zheng Qiao threatened the royal family of Xin State and forced the king of the fallen state to abdicate. The king, naked, led all the officials in mourning and carrying a coffin to surrender to Geng State and declared Xin State extinct. From then on, there was no Xin State, only the destroyed Chongtai.
A maid who serves other maids is called a Chongtai.
A slave among slaves, the lowest of the lowest classes.
Each of these is a great humiliation.
Chu Yao pursed his lips, his eyes showing reluctance: "Half a month ago, I surrendered, completely in accordance with Zheng Qiao's request."
Qi Shan’s face turned pale when he heard this.
The scene seemed to emerge in his mind, as if someone was slapping him in the face, and each slap made a loud echo.
Chu Yao continued: "And on the day of surrender..."
Qi Shan suddenly opened his eyes: "Anything else?"
Isn't this humiliation enough
As it turned out, Zheng Qiao felt that it was not enough.
On the day of surrender, Zheng Qiao held a palace banquet, saying that there was an assassin at the banquet, and the suspects pointed directly at several Xin Kingdom families and the Xin Kingdom royal family. Zheng Qiao used this as an excuse to attack Wang Ji, and Wang Ji had no way to defend herself. The next day, Zheng Qiao proposed to take Wang Ji into the inner court.
Wang Ji refused, but could not resist the previous king's pleading, and was finally forced to drink a cup of drugged wine and sent in.
Within two days, the news came—
Qi Shan clenched his fists: "What news?"
Chu Yao closed his eyes and said reluctantly: "The princess defiled the palace and had an affair with the inner court guards. She died of a ruptured anus... Zheng Qiao boasted of his magnanimity and ordered the old ministers of Xin State to hold a funeral for her with the etiquette of a king."
"puff-"
Qi Shan's face turned pale and then blue, and he finally couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood. He fell down with his eyes closed under the horrified gaze of Shen Tang and Chu Yao.
"Yuanliang!"
"Brother Yuanliang!"
