Chapter 144 Long Face
Chapter 144 Long Face
Before nightfall, Cui Xiaozhuo had already brought Su'an over.
Su'an didn't expect that King Yikang was there, and he was so frightened that he wished he could hide himself.
Liu Shiwen knew that King Yikang was a terrifying existence to outsiders, especially for young people like Su'an who directly belonged to King Yikang.
"Let's go."
The carriage outside is finally ready.
Liu Shiwen's family got into the carriage and led the team out of the city lord's mansion slowly.
On the way out, people from the Cui family also came to talk, and said that they would give gifts to Mrs. Cui.
"No need." King Yikang directly asked someone to refuse.
After waiting to pass over Cui's people, King Yikang looked at Liu Shiwen and said that he would tell Cui's people not to visit Liu Shiwen in the inner courtyard of the city lord.
"Thanks for your hard work." Liu Shiwen knew that those who knew the Cui family must be thinking that King Yikang was in control of him, so he had better tell himself to be more polite.
After all, people here think that the wife is too capable, and she will overwhelm her husband instead, which is not good.
These things will inevitably lead to all kinds of gossip, and King Yikang's ears will suffer.
"They dare not say it in front of me." King Yikang said directly as if he understood Liu Shiwen's expression.
"That's right." Liu Shiwen thought for a while, and based on King Yikang's terrifying appearance in the Cui family, those people probably came to bother him because they didn't dare to speak in front of King Yikang.
"Wow."
While the two were talking, Cui Xiaozhuo had already seen the big boat.
"What? Is the big ship in the city?" Liu Shiwen also looked over at this time, only to realize that they hadn't left the city, or that the entire city of Quanquan was just a huge wharf.
And King Yikang deepened this form even more, drawing seawater and directly sailing in the city.
"It can only be limited to this extent. A big ship like yours still has to be outside." King Yikang explained.
When the people over there saw the city lord's carriage approaching, they asked them to stand aside.
When the sun sets, the whole pier is illuminated.
The motorcade of the city lord's family passed by slowly, and everyone lowered their voices.
King Yikang came here to give rice and help build roads and houses, but the means of punishment for disobedient people are also very terrifying.
It can be said that he is a city lord who is both feared and loved.
How long has it been since Guoquan City has been so lively and prosperous?When everyone saw the big ship, the excitement in their hearts continued to spread.
The image of the city lord grew taller in their hearts.
"I heard that the wife of the city lord who gave money to buy rice for us was sitting in the carriage."
When the carriage convoy was moving, Liu Shiwen heard such a discussion.
He looked at King Yikang and said, "These are for you to win the hearts of the people, so you don't need to tell them they are mine."
"It's the same if you help me. It's better for me to be a bad face and you to be a good face." King Yikang said with a smile.
Liu Shiwen thought about it, so he just smiled and said nothing.
"Look over there."
After walking for a while, King Yikang opened the curtain of the car, and saw the huge sea surface faintly revealed, with layers of waves swaying back and forth, which made people excited when they saw it.
It was the first time for Liu Shiwen to see the sea here. He leaned forward and looked at it for a while, and Cui Xiaozhuo called out the flying eagles to keep circling in the sky.
The white eagle made a bright call, and even flew a few times at low altitude, and the people below were surprised.
"Look there, what is it?"
Before the eagle flew away, a huge black shadow appeared on the sea surface, and the long shadow swam quickly on the water surface.
Behind the shadow followed a large school of fish.
"Xiao Zhuo?" Liu Shiwen thought and knew that it was Cui Xiaozhuo who did it.
"Father asked me to do it. He said it was more auspicious." Cui Xiaozhuo hastily betrayed King Yikang.
Liu Shiwen looked helplessly at King Yikang.
"This is more interesting." King Yikang turned to Cui Xiaozhuo and said, "I will pay Boss Cui when I come back."
Cui Xiaozhuo couldn't be happier to play tricks in front of so many people.
"Lord City Lord."
It's finally time for King Yikang to go out.
Liu Shiwen took Cui Xiaozhuo all the way to the high place, and they could clearly see three big ships parked there quietly.
While the water was shaking, the sacrificial things were prepared over there.
King Yikang wore a luxurious robe and lit the long incense in his hand. There were people humming around, and the people who came to watch the ceremony around them also sang along.
"Guoquan City was originally Haicheng, and there are many legends about the Sea God here." Someone beside him specially explained to Liu Shiwen.
Liu Shi heard it and felt emotional. Every city has its own history, and the city of Guoquan has been silent for too long.
If King Yikang hadn't taken a fancy to this place, I don't know how long it would be quiet here.
"Ma'am, the cannons are going to be set off, let's take the young masters inside." Aunt Liu reminded, Liu Shiwen took them inside for fear of scaring the twins.
After waiting outside to let go, the lively crowd made a roar like a tsunami.
Cui Xiaozhuo also shouted.
Liu Shiwen simply looked inside the room, and asked others to stare at Cui Xiaozhuo, so that no one bumped into him.
"The big ship has entered the sea!"
The most nervous time is when the boat goes down, but with King Yikang in the form of a merman sitting in command, there will naturally be no problems.
The boat slowly began to move towards the sea, and the sound of firecrackers behind it kept going.
King Yikang watched the big ship sailing into the sea, with a gratified smile on his face.
"City Lord, someone wants to make trouble."
Soon someone approached King Yikang and said something.
King Yikang asked someone to bring Cui Xiaozhuo and others into the house first, and then clapped his hands to disperse the crowd, saying that some unpleasant friends came and needed to be dealt with.
The people sent by the Chen family to make trouble did not expect that they would be discovered so soon. When they were about to mobilize, they soon found that they were surrounded by King Yikang's people.
"Take it away." King Yikang said coldly, and those people were found with a bunch of swords and kidnapped.
The residents of Guoquan City watched in shock what happened around them.
"It seems that some people don't want to see us develop in Quanquan City." King Yikang sighed, and the people passing Quancheng suddenly became angry, asking who it was.
"The enemy is in that direction." King Yikang said and pointed to Chen Guo.
The people who passed through Quancheng were furious, but King Yikang said that he would take care of these things himself, and promised that such things would never happen again.
"Long live the city lord~"
The people below immediately started shouting.
King Yikang waved his hand to tell people not to shout like that, after all, it was against the rules.
"The banquet for the evening has already begun, madam."
Aunt Liu came in to talk after the bustle outside was enough.
Liu Shiwen looked around, and finally took the child to the banquet.
It was the first time that the city lord's wife showed up, and everyone was looking forward to it, waiting for her to be really talented after she came in.
The people of the Cui family looked at Liu Shiwen's appearance, and they were relieved and a little bitter. This Liu Shiwen brought out was indeed not inferior, but he was too unruly, thinking that he was married to King Yikang and took out something. Just put on airs, which is very bad.
But what the Cui people think in their hearts, they won't show it here, they praise Liu Shiwen with their heads up, and most of them praise Liu Shiwen for respecting his husband and raising children.
Hearing that the wife of the city lord actually gave birth to a pair of twins, they all praised her, saying that a fairy like the madam is indeed worthy of such a blessing.
Liu Shiwen's face was about to freeze, it seemed that Cui Shi had made up his mind to push his reputation to this side.
At this time, it is not good to ask Yikang King to come over. If he gets angry directly, it will ruin the situation.
Liu Shiwen smiled slightly, and asked someone to call Cui Xiaozhuo over, and said, "If it's a blessing, I don't know about the two younger ones, but the one in front of me knows how to love me."
When Cui Xiaozhuo was called over, he knew from the look in Liu Shiwen's eyes that he was coming to support the scene.
Cui Xiaozhuo didn't blush shyly either, and stood there for others to watch.
If it is really about talent and appearance, Cui Xiaozhuo is probably a person who has reached the top since he was a child, and he is dressed in noble and elegant clothes today, really like a little fairy.
"It's a pity that he is a brother, otherwise I would like to ask our Changqi to take over the castellan's class." Yikang King's aunt Li Shi glanced at Cui Xiaozhuo and said with a smile: "Xiao Zhuo, tell everyone about your two What a wonderful brother, I haven't been able to see him a few times until now."
"Why is this?" The people next to him immediately interjected. They all knew that this Li family was the aunt of the city lord, and the city lord had no parents. In this way, this Li family is a serious elder, how could he not even see his children? Woolen cloth.
"Snapped!"
If I want to continue talking, I am afraid that I will start to condemn Liu Shiwen.
At this time, Cui Xiaozhuo took the cup on the table and smashed it to the ground.
This sound made people jump, and they all looked at Cui Xiaozhuo.
Why did this kid suddenly drop something?It's still my brother who has such a big temper.
Then Mrs. Li also saw that she was going to teach Cui Xiaozhuo a lesson, no matter what, she couldn't ignore all etiquette in order to protect his mother.
There are also officials' wives sitting here.
"Everyone, do you know what allusion this is?" Cui Xiaozhuo asked with a smile, pointing to the broken wine glass.
Everyone was taken aback for a moment, not knowing what other allusions there were.
Cui Xiaozhuo smiled slightly, and confidently talked about the allusion of the sea god who passed through the spring city. When he said it naturally, the wives present answered and said yes.
Waiting for Cui Xiaozhuo to turn around, he finally pointed to the jade cup and said, "Isn't that the way the sea god broke the jade back then? After smashing the jade cup, he took courage and crushed the sea monster under the god stone."
"This... Speaking of which, it is indeed the case. Up to now, we have to throw cups in front of the God Stone to worship the Sea God here." Everyone nodded and said.
"So that's the case, I don't know yet." Liu Shiwen smiled and praised Quancheng, saying that he had never seen the sea when he was so old.
The wives at the table heard the words of the city lord's wife, and they introduced them excitedly.
Immediately, Liu Shiwen also answered a few words, and asked someone to serve some novel snacks and fruits, and soon got into a mess with those wives, but he didn't give the Cui family a chance to talk.
