Chapter 156: A Different Ruoshui City
When faced with the same thing, men and women often focus on different things.
Sang Pu and Fengshou kept asking about the fate of the Shi family, making Qingzhao, who was obsessed with the second girl of the Shi family, almost unable to speak.
She pushed aside the harvest: "Princess, what happened to the second girl of the Shi family?"
Fengshou curled his lips and said, "Are you actually interested in that woman? There are so many girls who like our father, can you care enough about her?"
Qingzhao smiled and looked at Huan Yu, who was approaching: "Then tell me, how many do you mean by too much?"
Feng Sheng didn't dare to talk too much. He bowed and took the small box from Huan Yu's hand: "Master, I'll help you."
Qingzhao secretly made a face and took a step back to get out of the way.
Now that the Shi family was mentioned, Xiao Bi didn't care about joking.
She said to Huan Yu: "Brother Huan, it's been a while since we left Hedong County, and I don't know how Governor Bai's affairs have been handled."
Huan Yu gently opened the small box, took out some items for dressing up, and ordered: "Raise your head and close your eyes."
Xiao Bi followed the words and raised her face and closed her eyes.
Huan Yu dressed up for her and said, "We have been very busy since we left Hedong County. I thought you had forgotten all those people."
"I just didn't pay attention to them for a while. Do you have any news about them?"
"As soon as we arrived in Yanmen County, that is, on the night when I went to my third sister's house with my husband, I received a letter from Brother A Liang.
All the goods that Mr. Luo planned to trade with Mr. Shi were confiscated, and more than a dozen Liuyun merchants were arrested.
But Mr. Shi was very cunning, and he did not go to pick up the goods in person that day, so County Sheriff Bai failed to get his current information."
"I really think highly of Governor Bai. He can't grasp the merits he has already achieved. No wonder he hasn't been promoted for so many years!"
Xiao Bi read a few words to Governor Bai, and then said: "Don't tell me he can't even torture. Liuyun people are also made of flesh and blood, and they can't all be as tough as Liang Ruoru."
Huan Yu said: "Don't worry, although I haven't received any concrete news yet, the Shi family is definitely over this time.
That day Governor Bai asked me what to do with Liu Yun Xizuo, and I told him to imprison those people in the government prison.
However, Governor Bai is very eager to achieve success and will never let go of this rare opportunity.
Once he finds out the truth from the Liuyun merchant, he will definitely give a memorial to His Majesty.
Maybe by the time we return to the capital, the Shi family's case will have been concluded."
Xiao Bi pursed her lips: "I hope so, then I never want to see the uncle of the Shi family again."
"Okay, open your eyes and take a look." Huan Yu put the tools and paint back into the small box.
Xiao Bi couldn't wait to open her eyes, turned her head and looked into the mirror.
I saw that the shape of her eyebrows and eyes had changed a lot, and the outline of her entire face seemed to be a bit tougher than before.
Although he is still a young man, his appearance is simpler and more honest than before, and he feels naturally much calmer.
If she walked into a crowd like this, it would be difficult to attract anyone's attention.
Although this was not the first time Xiao Bi saw Huan Yu's abilities, she still couldn't help but praise: "Brother Huan, you are so awesome!"
Sang Pu and Fengshou didn't realize he was there, but Qingzhao was shocked.
She had clearly been watching the movements of Mr. Huan just now, and didn't think there was anything special about what he did, but this effect...
Although she could barely recognize that the person in front of her was the princess, don't forget that she grew up with the princess.
If it were a stranger, the person in front of him would clearly be an ugly-looking young man.
Before Qingzhao could fully recover, Yingshui pushed the door in holding a piece of clothing.
When she saw Xiao Bi's face clearly, she shook her hand and her clothes fell directly to the ground.
"Princess?" She quickly picked up her clothes and ran over.
Xiao Bi took the clothes with some disgust.
"Ying Shui, I saw that the ready-to-wear shop opposite is quite big. I think there should be a lot of good clothes. How did you pick this color?"
Ying Shui looked at the parrot-green silk robe and swallowed hard: "County... Princess, you told me that the color should be brighter. This slave chose for a long time. Among the many brightly colored clothes, this one
This is barely enough to be seen..."
Xiao Bi shook out the robe: "Forget it, with my current appearance, I can wear the same thing."
Qingzhao held back her laughter and asked: "Yingshui, this dress is enough, but why have you been gone for so long? You even missed the story told by the princess."
"Did the princess tell a story?" Ying Shui said regretfully: "I just said that the princess loves you the most. She even told the story when I was not around."
Qingzhao pinched her: "I want to ask you something serious!"
Seeing that all five people were looking at him, Ying Shui hurriedly said seriously: "The proprietress of the ready-made clothing shop is a talkative. I took the opportunity to ask her about things in Ruoshui City."
"Come and tell me." Xiao Bi urged.
"The waiter said before that the Dragon Boat Festival in Ruoshui City is very lively.
The slave asked the landlady if the Dragon Boat Festival in Ruoshui City also included eating rice dumplings, drinking realgar wine, and dragon boat racing.
She said that the Dragon Boat Festival in Ruoshui City used to be more lively than in the Central Plains, but this year she heard that something happened in the city and she wondered if those activities would be cancelled.
The slave asked her again what happened, but she couldn't tell clearly.
The servant was a little disappointed. She picked out some clothes and was about to leave when she heard the landlady talking to a woman about a woman from Ruoshui City, so she deliberately delayed it for a moment."
Xiao Bi wondered: "Isn't it a boy? Why is it involving a woman again?"
Ying Shui said: "The woman chose a very beautiful dress, and the landlady praised her for her good taste. Her husband would definitely like it after wearing it.
The woman was a little disapproving, saying that although the women of Dawei were not as miserable as the women of Jinliang and Li, they were not even a bit worse than the women of Ruoshui City.
The slave girl was curious, so she found an excuse to stay and continue listening.
It turns out that women in Ruoshui City can be officials just like men.
Especially when the first wife of the current city lord was alive, the status of women in the family was almost equal to that of men.
Men are not allowed to take concubines. If a woman is dissatisfied with her husband's family or her husband, she can divorce her at any time.
Moreover, after the divorce, the woman can not only take away the dowry, but the man must also provide certain compensation."
Sang Pu couldn't help but interjected: "Ruoshui City is really a special place, but... isn't this kind of rule unfair to men?"
"Why is it unfair?" Qingzhao and Yingshui glared at him.
Sang Pu hurriedly explained: "Don't worry, just listen to what I have to say. What I mean is that if the woman makes a mistake, for example, she falls in love with another man and dislikes her husband, the man cannot retaliate.
Should we compensate him?"
Ying Shui said: "You are obviously in a hurry, and I haven't finished my words yet.
