Chapter 73 Gifts

Hearing Xiao Yu's words, the faces of everyone present changed, including that Kunka who was greeted by Xiao Yu just now.

In fact, they naturally knew who Xiao Yu was. Before Xiao Yu entered the city, Wang Zimo had already notified Wang Tianhu of Xiao Yu's arrival.

However, a declining territory, a declining nobleman, and a lord without any qualifications and prodigal sons are nothing in their eyes.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for Wang Tianhu to just ask someone to get Xi Wen back. If the Xiao family was still in its heyday, he wouldn't dare to do it with a hundred courage.

Everything, just because this family has declined, everything, just because the title of the former duke is no longer worthy of its name.

However, even if the name is not worthy of the name, the Duke is the Duke, and the title is still there.

Uncle Gonghou, the five-level title, every lower level, must greet, stand up, and salute to the higher-level title. This is not only the Tianshi Dynasty, but also the rules that have existed in this era for tens of thousands of years.

This is a strictly hierarchical society, and rank represents everything.

Perhaps, in the near future, the Tianshi Dynasty may be destroyed, and a new dynasty will replace it, but since the Tianshi Dynasty still exists, and everyone is a subject of the Tianshi Dynasty, then the rules of the Tianshi Dynasty must be obeyed. Respect the title of Tianshi Dynasty.

Perhaps, in some places now, this kind of title has been somewhat underestimated, and those declining high-level nobles dare not challenge those powerful new low-level nobles, but if we really look closely, if these low-level nobles really If you dare to be too presumptuous, someone will stand up to safeguard the dignity of the Tianshi Dynasty. Of course, this kind of maintenance is only for their own rights and interests.

The few people present were discussing just now that the Principality of Kahn annexed a territory five hundred miles away, just to find a reason for not paying tribute to the Tianshi Dynasty and despising the royal court.

In fact, many people do not pay tribute now.

But once you give other people such a reason, then you give an excuse to other people who are staring at you.

It is not that the Wang family has no enemies here, nor is it without opponents. If the other party finds a righteous excuse to unite with other territories to destroy the Wang family, many territories will be willing to participate and share a share of the pie.

This era is the most sensitive era. In fact, everyone has already despised the majesty of the Tianshi Dynasty and completely disobeyed the order of the Tianshi Dynasty, but they absolutely dare not say it.

Just like the Spring and Autumn Period in Chinese history, the Zhou Dynasty still exists, but the vassal states have completely acted independently, neither obeying the orders of the Zhou Dynasty, nor paying tribute, but even so, no one dares to destroy it directly After leaving the Zhou family, he called himself the emperor, and no one dared to say that he was self-reliant with great fanfare, and he would not listen to the call of the Zhou family. Everyone was tacitly aware that they were still submissive on the surface, but they just established their own small kingdom in private, evading the orders of the Zhou family in various ways, and then gradually developed into the Warring States period.

When everyone saw Xiao Yu, or when they heard that Xiao Yu was coming, they didn't pay much attention. He was just a dude who had inherited the title.

In fact, this can only be blamed on Wang Zimo for not fully reporting the situation on the Lion King’s Landing and on the road. Originally, he wanted to bring Xiwen over first, and then report to Wang Tianhu by the way. After all, these things were just reported by a servant. , and he lost the free magic necklace, so naturally no one else can report it. But who would have thought that Xiao Yu, a rascal, would have to follow right away.

Moreover, Xiao Yu asked Grom and Tyrande to wear cloaks at ordinary times, so as not to shock the world and cause trouble. Although he is not afraid of trouble, there is no need to be too ostentatious. After all, there are too few orcs and elves in this world. In particular, once Tyrande's appearance went out, it could directly turn the city and the country, and everyone in a city came to see it, it was too publicized. When they saw Grom and Tyrande coming in just now, they thought they were just ordinary guards. If he had known it was an orc or an elf, he would not have fired at Xiao Yu so arrogantly, and would have wondered why this lord had an orc.

Although the little dragon is a dragon, if you don't look carefully from a distance, you may think it is just an advanced monster. When the dragon clan was young, the characteristics of the dragon horns did not fully grow, and it was difficult to distinguish them.

Therefore, in the bottom of their hearts, everyone at the scene already had contempt and contempt in their hearts, and naturally there would be no such thing as going out of the city to greet them. However, the duke title of the Xiao Yu family is hereditary. Xiao Yu has completely inherited Xiao Zhantian's title now, that is, the first-class Lion King Grand Duke of the Tianshi Dynasty. In the entire Tianshi Dynasty, there is no one better than him A person of high rank.

Wang Tianhu is only an earl, and he is only one marquis behind the duke, so his rank is obviously much lower. Although Wang Tianhu is Xiao Yu's senior, but in terms of title, he has to salute Xiao Yu first, and then Xiao Yu salutes the junior.

Wang Tianhu didn't salute first, Xiao Yu naturally didn't need to salute.

Therefore, whether it was Xiao Yu's impoliteness that Kunka said at the beginning, or Xiao Yu bringing guards into the house, these were all within the legal scope of the Tianshi Dynasty, and the reason was all on Xiao Yu's side.

And if Xiao Yu really impeached this owed Yun Cao, then those old guys who defended the orthodoxy of the Tianshi Dynasty would come out to speak out immediately. Even if Yun Cao would not be convicted, punishment would definitely be inevitable.

Now, Xiao Yu's words awakened everyone, and everyone stood up subconsciously, including Wang Tianhu, that Kunka, the magician just now, and Yun Cao who was scolded by Xiao Yu by pointing at his nose. . They all know the importance of this matter.

Other dukes, even if they want to impeach them, may not be so strong, but Xiao Yu is different. Xiao Yu's father, Xiao Zhantian, saved him back then.

Some ancient dukes may not even be remembered by the emperor of the Tianshi dynasty, but the duke Xiao Yu, the emperor must know.

You can quietly kill Xiao Yu, destroy the corpse and wipe out the traces, no problem, just like Karu, no one from the Tianshi Dynasty will be bored to investigate, now the Tianshi Dynasty no longer has the ability to take care of these things, the emperor himself can't take care of himself . But if you are disrespectful to Xiao Yu, the Grand Duke of the empire, that is a serious crime, and many people can make use of it to make trouble for you.

This is the nature of the present age.

"Oh, nephew Xiao Xian blames Uncle for not going out of the city to meet you today. Uncle is here to make amends for you. Uncle really didn't know you were here, and Zimo didn't notify me. He should be punished." Wang Tianhu looked Seeing this deadlocked situation, he immediately chuckled and smoothed things over.

Being able to be a lord for so many years and manage the territory so prosperously, he is naturally very proficient in this kind of kung fu of adapting to the wind.

This kind of thing can be big or small, and now it's best to turn it into a small matter.

Hearing what Wang Tianhu said, Xiao Yu quickly waved his hands, squinted his eyes and smiled, "How dare my nephew let Uncle Wang come out of the city to meet me? Ah, my nephew is not targeting you."

In fact, Xiao Yu cursed in his heart: "You don't know? It's strange if you don't fucking know. Originally, I didn't want to use this duke's status to oppress you, but if you don't welcome him Forget it, I didn’t even open the door when I came here, and I dared to give my dear sister-in-law a bad blow, damn it, if I don’t suppress you, you really think of yourself as a human being.”

After scolding severely, Xiao Yu's anger just now also subsided a lot, now he swaggered and sat back, hooked his hands at the maid, and said: "Here is a bowl of tea, I am tired from scolding just now."

The maid saw that even the lord had stood up, so naturally she didn't dare to be negligent, and quickly brought a cup of tea.

Xiao Yu took a sip of tea, saw that everyone was still standing, and hurriedly said, "Sit, what are you doing standing? I'm a junior here. I can't bear you like this."

A group of people scolded Xiao Yu in their hearts: "You can't bear it, you can't bear the scolding just now?" Seeing Xiao Yu's rogue appearance, everyone secretly said in their hearts: " Sure enough, he is a dandy, he is indeed a prodigal son, and the legends are indeed true."

After watching everyone sit down, Xiao Yu looked at Wang Tianhu with a smile, and said, "Uncle Wang, there is someone from my Xiao family standing outside, it's not good. Can you ask her to come in for a cup of tea? "

Wang Tianhu was taken aback by Xiao Yu's words, thinking that there is no one else in the Xiao family, isn't it just you left? But then he saw Xiwen, and immediately understood what Xiao Yu said.

Wang Tianhu's heart tightened suddenly, knowing that this time he wanted to remarry Xiwen, it might be difficult.

Xiao Yu's sentence "There is someone from my Xiao family standing outside" is to tell Wang Tianhu that Xi Wen is now from the Xiao family, not from your Wang family, so don't just do whatever you want as your daughter before.

Although Wang Tianhu's heart was changing, there was still a smile on his face, and he said: "Of course, I haven't seen Xiwen for a long time. Xiwen, why are you still standing there? Why don't you come in and let your father take a good look at you. "

Xiao Yu looked at Wang Tianhu's smile, and cursed inwardly: "Smiling tiger, if I hadn't given you some flair just now, it would be strange if you could smile now, as if you still owed you a million dollars. "

Hearing what her father said, Xiwen came in quickly, bowed heavily to Wang Tianhu, and said, "Xiwen wishes my father well."

Wang Tianhu nodded, glanced at Xiwen, and said: "Well, Xiwen, you have lost weight. After you left, your mother has been missing you very much. You should go and see your mother first."

After hearing this, Xiwen saluted again, and said, "Yes, father, I brought someone to visit my father this time, and brought some presents, and I hope my lord father will accept it."

Hearing Xiwen's words, Wang Tianhu said casually, "Okay, it's rare that you have such filial piety."

Xi Wen stepped forward and presented an extremely delicate gift box with both hands.

"The gift of filial piety from my daughter is really good. Earl Wang, you are blessed. I believe this is definitely not an ordinary gift. Can you let me open my eyes."

That Yun Cao was scolded by Xiao Yu just now, but he couldn't answer a word, and was almost impeached. A place to tease Xiao Yu.

The decline of the Lion King's Landing is now well known to everyone. What good things can Xiwen get from being the young wife of the Lion King's Landing? Needless to say, it must be something of little value.

When he said that, he naturally wanted to severely ridicule the lion king leader and hit Xiao Yu.

As long as there is no overt disrespect and insult to Xiao Yu's title, some ridicule and sarcasm, the Tianshi Dynasty has nothing to do with it.

Naturally, Wang Tianhu also understood what Yun Cao meant, and he was about to take the opportunity to show the decline of the Lion King. Xi Wen did not live a good life, and then paved the way for Xi Wen's remarriage, so naturally he was very happy to cooperate with Yun Cao .

Immediately, Wang Tianhu pretended to be old and said happily: "Haha, yes, I have a good daughter."

With that said, Wang Tianhu opened the gift box in public.

All the people present also focused their eyes, wanting to see what Xi Wen was holding, and then taunted Xiao Yu severely.

Because Xiao Yu was furious and cursed just now, even those who Xiao Yu didn't scold had to stand up and salute, which naturally made them feel unhappy.

What's more, they were originally on the side of Kunka and Yuncao, but in fact they were all on Wang Tianhu's side, so naturally they would not miss this opportunity to add insult to injury.

As Wang Tianhu opened the gift box, he saw a set of transparent wine glasses neatly arranged inside the brocade box.

Seeing that it was just a set of wine glasses, everyone was startled for a while, and then they couldn't help but sneer. It's too shabby for a dignified young lady of the territory to bring this kind of thing when she goes home to visit her relatives.

It is said that the Lion King collar has fallen, but I didn't expect it to reach this point. Alas, it's a pity that Xiao Zhantian was mighty back then.

Yun Cao spoke first, he stretched his waist up to the sky, gave a haha, and said: "Okay, she is really a good daughter, she misses her father so much, this set of drinking utensils is really top-quality, let father drink more when he is free A few cups, haha... I didn't expect the Lion King collar to be so generous, to come up with such a valuable gift to let the young lady go home to visit her relatives."

"Well, it really is. This set of drinking utensils is worth at least dozens of gold coins. It was brought all the way from the lion king. The travel expenses are also expensive. I don't know if it is worth the travel expenses. If not , it’s better to buy a set on the side of the street in the Wang family’s territory, and then give it to Earl Wang. Goose feathers are less important than human beings." That Kunka also said sarcastically.

"Let me tell you, the real value of this wine set lies in the brocade box in which it is packaged. You can take a look at this brocade box. It is definitely the finest nanmu from the northern country. This brocade box seems to be worth hundreds of dollars. A gold coin." Another guy with a mustache seemed to be very serious.

"Actually, let me tell you, this should be a specialty of the Lion King's Territory, and there must be something special about it, otherwise, as the Duke of Xiao, how could he bring out such a rag to let the young lady go home to visit her relatives? "Another person also took the opportunity to taunt.

For a while, all the people present held their own words, satirizing the set of drinking utensils, ridiculing the shabby and dilapidated Lion King's collar.

Xiao Yu watched them sneering and ridiculing, but she didn't care, she just sat quietly with a sneer on her lips. Xi Wen originally wanted to open her mouth to explain something, but these people didn't give her a chance at all, and seeing that Xiao Yu didn't respond, she didn't speak either.

"Okay everyone, although this set of drinking utensils is worthless, it was brought by my daughter all the way. It is also a kindness. After all, the Lion King is in a bit of a recession now. I am very happy that my daughter can bring some things back to honor me. It's gone." Finally, Wang Tianhu stopped everyone's discussion with a wave of his hand.

At this time, whether it was Wang Tianhu or the others present, there was a hint of complacency and relief on their faces, as well as deep disdain.

Listening to Wang Tianhu's words, Xiao Yu seemed to be speaking for herself, but in fact she was obviously ridiculing herself even more, cursing secretly: "You old man, I knew you would be like this."

Immediately, Xiao Yu stood up abruptly, and said, "Uncle Wang is right, the Lion King leader is in decline now, and he can't produce any good things, which really makes everyone laugh. Uncle Wang is not disgusted, my nephew is really grateful Do it all. My nephew will borrow this set of drinking utensils and offer a cup to Uncle Wang to show my nephew's admiration."

After saying that, Xiao Yu snapped his fingers, and Grom immediately handed over a bottle of red wine.

Xiao Yu opened the red wine, picked up a glass, and slowly poured it in. As the bright red wine flowed into the glass, the originally crystal clear wine glass suddenly changed slightly.

At this moment, the red wine seems to have become something else, and it looks full of texture in the glass, as if it is a whole solid object.

And immediately, with a flash of red light, a strange picture suddenly appeared in the wine glass, in which countless fish were swimming around, as if in a vast ocean.

Xiao Yu shook the wine glass, and suddenly, a light and shadow projected from the wine glass, reflected on the wall, showing a black and red sea area, countless fish swimming happily, occasionally jumping up, splashing countless water droplets .

All of this is lifelike, completely as if it is real.

Seeing this, everyone was already stunned, but that Yun Cao exclaimed a little out of composure at this moment, and said, "The Phantom Phantom Wine Cup? Is this the Phantom Phantom Wine Cup in the legend? When I came to Odo It is said that there are only one hundred sets of the master's works? Now there seem to be less than twenty sets."

Xiao Yu looked at this indebted guy, curled his lips, and said: "Mr. Cao, you are really knowledgeable, and you know this wine glass. The Lion King collar has fallen, and there is really nothing good to come up with. My sister-in-law said that Uncle Wang is good at wine. , so I reluctantly used it for Uncle Wang to drink. A little bit of something is really shabby, and I can’t get it out. I hope Uncle Wang doesn’t mind. Sending goose feathers from thousands of miles away is more important than others. Sister-in-law is a kind heart, and it’s okay. I hope Uncle Wang can accept it with a smile, and don't despise the lightness of etiquette."

Just now someone ridiculed Xiao Yu by saying that the gift of goose feathers sent from thousands of miles away was too condescending, but now, Xiao Yu used this sentence again to slap everyone present.
