my wife is a consul

Chapter 193 Continuation Volume

Lu Ming was thinking about how to open his mouth to turn the marriage into a "buy". The price is not a problem. The land, population, etc. here are very cheap in terms of imperial currency, but the chieftain here is usually impossible to sell.

Moreover, refuse to marry and spend money to buy a "dowry"?I'm afraid it would be a great insult to the Popolo family. After all, the marriage partner, the other party brought out the ancestors as sacrifices, and fought with sincerity. If he refused, the other party might not accept it, let alone turn the marriage into a business.

How should I word it, or should I take it easy today and talk about it in a few days?
Just thinking about it, suddenly, Hawkeye over there forced a smile, "Mayor, although my family doesn't have that many lands, I have a lake here that is rich in fish. Your lord should also know that in the dry season, my Bat In the area around the city, water sources are scarce, and there is only one private lake in Bate City, which is my lake; in addition, although the southern public lake is larger than my lake, it is shared by more than a dozen city-states."

"Your lord knows how precious the fish and shrimp are here."

"Now, I am willing to give Papa Ya's dowry to my 47 households with a total of 360 fishermen from my lake and lake water village, together with Papa Ya, to the adults!"

Sitting next to him, Papa Ya, who was originally reserved and dignified while maintaining a polite smile, exclaimed, and looked at Hawkeye Luo with shock and disbelief.

Hawkeye avoided her and didn't even look at her, but the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and a faint look of pain flashed in his eyes.

There is no doubt that he is a fierce vulture, even the woman he loves is nothing compared to the family's future and power.

Lu Ming has lost his words, one for his ancestors and one for his wife, what is it all about?
Although the countries in the Western Regions do have less courtesy, righteousness, honesty and shame, the customs are more barbaric and completely different from those in the East. Even in the chieftain family, if the father dies, the heir will inherit two other mothers who are not the biological mother as wives. It is also one of the customs, and the inherited father and wife, Not included in the number of three wives.

There are many other absurd customs.

But even so, the current situation should be extremely rare.

"My lord, Papa Ya will stay here. I will go and prepare a dowry for her, and I will deliver it tonight." Hawkeye Luo got up and was about to leave.

Over there, Popolo and Long Xiang looked at Hawkeye Luo in surprise as well. After all, Hawkeye Luo's love for Papa Ya and the dozen or so city-states nearby were all regarded as anecdotes.

Papa Ya is the most beautiful beauty in more than a dozen nearby city-states, and her fame has spread all over the country since she was a girl.

And when Hawkeye Luo had three wives, in order to prevent her from marrying off, he put in a lot of effort and competed with the most powerful nearby White Deer City lord's son, and finally won the beauty.

There is also a legend that Hawkeye Luo worried that if the time dragged on for too long, Papa Ya would be married off by his father. After all, it is normal for girls here to get married at the age of eleven or twelve. Although Papa Ya's father had his promise, he delayed it for a few years. , but when Papa Ya was 16 years old, Hawkeye Luo was still worried about nights and dreams, so he killed one of his childless wives, and then quickly married Papa Ya back home.

However, these are just rumors and cannot be all taken seriously.

Anyway, it is known far and wide that Hawkeye Luo dotes on this wife so much that he is afraid of falling if he holds it in the palm of his hand, or melts in his mouth if he holds it in his mouth.

Papa Ya is also extremely capable, and soon helped Hawkeye Luo handle most of the family affairs, and dealt with Hawkeye Luo outside, and even felt that communicating with Hawkeye Luo for many matters would be better than communicating with Papa Ya it is good.

But now, Hawkeye Luo wants to give her away?

Although a wife is said to be property, let alone a wife who is extremely beloved, even if a wife is bored, it would be a great shame to be occupied by others.

Father and son Popolo and Long Xiang looked in shock at Hawkeye Luo who was about to prepare the "dowry".After being surprised, Popolo's eyes became a little bit of admiration and even a little bit of fear, but Long Xiang's eyes were full of contempt.

"Mr. Hawkeye Luo, wait!" Lu Ming also came back to his senses, waved his hands helplessly, and said, "Well, let's not talk about this for now, you all tell me first, what are your hopes for our support project?" Wing? Or, what project have you prepared and hope to get our support?"

Popolo smiled slightly: "My lord mayor, I'm here just to make an alliance of in-laws with you, and it has nothing to do with your business."

Lu Ming nodded, looking at Long Xiang, at first he looked down on the Popolo family, but looking at it now, it's just that Long Xiang is not good enough, not as good as his father's Eleven.

Hawkeye Luo also smiled and said, "What Fei Bo said is exactly my little heart." He even pulled his seat towards Popolo, keeping a distance from Papa Ya.

Papa Ya just looked at him infatuatedly, her beautiful eyes were full of tears, as if there was only eagle eyes in the world.

"Well, what about the marriage, I..."

Lu Ming had just finished speaking, when he heard a clear and childish laughter, "I promise you all about the marriage for my brother!"

Nicole jumped behind Lu Ming and said to Luo, "Why don't you translate it for them?"

Lu Ming had already noticed that Nicole came downstairs curiously, whispering something to Luo Er, so he heard that it was very lively here, so he came to gossip.

Then, it seemed like she was rocking back and forth laughing.

It is extremely depressing.

But she didn't want to, she would suddenly run over and interrupt.

Hearing her words, Lu Ming frowned after being startled, and turned his head to tell Luo Yi not to translate.

Unexpectedly, Nicole was already lying behind him, with one arm around his neck and one hand covering his mouth, and said to Luo with a chuckle, "Translate, I'm the one who decides, just say my brother agreed."

Lu Ming's back was numb immediately, and he was stunned for a while, and his mouth was covered by the soft and creamy snow-white hands, and he didn't dare to open his mouth all the time, fearing that he would become stuck in the long hair. The snow-white slender hands with long bright manicures turned into their frivolous and mischievous younger sister.

In the ear, there was a fragrant and wet breath again, Nicole's delicate voice: "Brother, how pitiful they are, please help them..."

Lu Ming felt that his body was half crisp, and he couldn't do anything anymore.

As soon as Luo saw this, it was obvious that the owner couldn't help Miss Nicole and didn't dare to delay any longer, "The mayor said that he is willing to marry the two of you."

"Great! It's getting late that day, don't disturb the mayor's rest!"

Popolo got up first, all of them were old men, and he could see that it was the naughty beauty who wore golden glasses and a mask, even though she couldn't see her face. Just leave quickly, the matter is settled, if you come back tomorrow to regret it, then it will not work, my ancestors know it, do you want my ancestors to commit suicide in shame and indignation?
Hawkeye Luo also got up and stroked his chest and bowed slightly, "My lord mayor, I'm taking my leave too!"

Papa Ya just looked at him with tears in his eyes until Hawkeye Luo's back gradually disappeared under the grassy slope. Papa Ya's snow-white pretty face, which was trying to maintain an elegant smile, gradually lost its color and became extremely pale and desperate.

……

In the bedroom on the third floor of Wolong Castle, Lu Ming frowned and looked at Nicole who knocked on the door and came in.

Nicole stuck out her tongue, "Brother, I've settled her down, do you want to go there tonight? I don't think she will have the slightest opinion."

"You just want my family to have no peace, right?" Lu Ming was angry and funny.

Nicole shook her head and said seriously: "Brother, I really think they are too pitiful. You can take them in. In the future, they can leave if they want, and it won't do you any harm. Besides, here, I want to travel in the future , there is still a foothold for the time being."

Lu Ming waved his hand: "It's best to help me solve the problem you caused,"

Nicole chuckled: "Brother, if you're sure you won't be there tonight, then I called Luo Yi and Luo Er to chat with Papa Ya?"

"Whatever you want, it's best to ask, how can I send her back without damaging the relationship between Hawkeye Luo and her. I can accept the fish ponds and lakes and those fishermen."

"Okay." Nicole nodded, and disappeared in a flash.

……

The bunker is on the third floor, and the breeze is blowing, making it very comfortable to sleep at night.

It's just that the wooden bed is a bit hard, no matter how many wadding you put on it, the feeling of lying on it is still different from the soft big bed in the East China Sea.

But this kind of hard bed is very relieved.

At six o'clock, Lu Ming opened his eyes. It was dark in the Western Regions, and now the outside was pitch black.

After getting up, I sat at the desk and looked through the thick files, mainly local laws and customs.

It seems that Lao Liu's case can only be resolved in court.

The Bate City-State itself probably would not want to sue Liu Laocai, but the "victim" can ask a lawyer to file a lawsuit in private.

Where do the decision-makers at Fila Petroleum want to get involved?

In particular, the news has leaked that Liu Laocai's friends have come to Bate City.

Will they continue?
His own identity has no deterrent effect on them, because Fila Petroleum does not have any direct business in Beiguan, and its gas stations all over Beiguan are just the layout of the Donghai branch for the entire metropolitan area. This has no right to speak.

Of course, it's not impossible to close the other party's gas station in Beiguan to be critical, but it doesn't make any sense.

This business is negligible for Fila Petroleum.

Although the competition among the major oil companies in the empire is fierce, it is more or less a joint monopoly rather than a life-and-death fight.

Moreover, the decision-makers of Fira Petroleum's plan to exploit the oil field in the west of Bate City may have nothing to do with the oil supply department of the East China Sea.

Fira Petroleum is in a period of fierce competition among heirs, and maybe these departments are already introverted.

Therefore, one's own identity has little effect on the change of the current situation. At most, if the other party wants to continue, they will pay more attention to it.

"Coffee to refresh yourself." Lu Ming called out.

Outside, Luo Yi and Luo Er are on duty in turn, but they never thought that they would get up so early.

After leaving the East China Sea, on the train all the way, I usually read very late, and I don’t get up until eight or nine o’clock. When I get here, it will be even later.

Because here in the Western Regions, it's still pitch black at eight o'clock in Imperial Standard Time in February.

Lu Ming continued to immerse himself in his reading. A cup of strong coffee was put away by the table. Lu Ming nodded, "Thank you."

"My lord, I'll be first, take a bath, look, can you?..." With a very blunt Zhongzhou accent, the voice is soft, a feeling that is difficult to describe, how should I put it, it is like the grandmother next door who treats the little girl The feeling of a child, even if the other party calls him "Master".

Lu Ming, who was about to continue to read the scroll, was stunned. He turned his head to look, but saw a white figure standing beside him. Looking carefully, it was a beautiful woman with silver hair, wearing a snow-white thin cloth dress. This kind of fabric is actually what the previous life called Dacron, and it is also one of the main chemical fiber fabrics dumped by the eastern part of the empire to the Western Regions. But in the area around Bite City, those who can wear this brand-new Dacron dress must be nobles. family too.

The figure of this beautiful woman in a white dress looks very light, and she is also beautiful, but vaguely, her eyes contain a wisdom that is impossible for young people to have. idiosyncratic.

"Master, I, Sanjinpo, Han, Yiyi, Dragon Girl..."

Lu Ming had vaguely guessed it, and was startled, "This, this is it!" For a moment, he didn't know what to say, and felt extremely embarrassed.

Suddenly, he hurriedly stood up again.

After all, on the bus, I probably should have given up my seat.

The wisdom in those eyes?Where is 45?It is clearly 65.

"I, influence, sir?"

"Ah, no..." Lu Ming waved his hands again and again, suddenly curious, "Do you speak Zhongzhou dialect?"

"Too busy, Zhongzhou, Xiyang, Dongying, Nanyang, me, all, a little bit."

"Long Xiang's grandson's Zhongzhou, also, I..."

Encyclopedia?Lu Ming smiled wryly in his heart. So far, he has never met anyone who has learned all five major Confederate languages.

"I, Qi, Enlightenment... He, is more interested, better than me..." She added with some effort.

In her life, she had very few opportunities to communicate with people from Central Asia. She only learned from books and the radio, and she listened better. It should be that the radio has the most channels in Central African and Western languages, which she often listens to.

Lu Ming coughed, "You, you..." He couldn't ask for a moment.

"Slave, 45, hair, I don't know, it's white." Although the three golden women struggled to speak Zhongzhou language, they obviously had great wisdom, because Lu Ming's eyes drifted over her silver hair several times, so he knew what Lu Ming wanted to ask .

Oh... Lu Ming thought about it, and heard what Popolo said, what kind of fasting did his aunt eat since she was a child, although it shouldn't be the same thing as being a vegetarian in the East, but the selective food should be due to the lack of trace elements, but she did it. It is very shiny silver, not the kind of old and dry white hair, but it is very magical.

"Master, no, excuse me, you..." After San Jinpo finished speaking, she bowed her knees slightly to leave.

Lu Ming was at a loss and almost knelt down.

In fact, this San Jinpo is not very old, and there are quite a few people who only get married at this age in later generations.

Moreover, she was about ten years older than Judge Christine.

But I don't know why, it just gives people the impression that she is a wise old man who has experienced many vicissitudes of life, like her grandma.

Maybe, the old aunt who never gets married all her life is really different.

Not to mention, a big family in a slave society like Bate City is a woman who has sworn a big oath since she was a child.

Suddenly, I wanted to make a call to Christine, and my mentality became a bit paralyzed. There is an aunt who is ten years older than you. Are you still crazy about me?Who are you going to show me as an elder every day?

Then he smiled wryly, what was he thinking about.

From yesterday to now, the strange things I have experienced have also had a great emotional impact on me.

This call has to be made, and when she goes back to East China Sea, if Christine doesn't close her small black house for a month, it will be counted as her past life's merits.

As for Sanjin Po, we still have to find a way to solve it satisfactorily.

While pondering, there was a light knock on the door.

Luo Yi brought in a piece of paper and timidly said: "Mrs. Sanjin asked the slaves to give it to the master..." She didn't know whether to give it or not.

Lu Ming stretched out his hand, but saw densely packed small characters. The writing in Zhongzhou characters was much better than her articulation.

The wording was respectful, that is, it was weird, a little too much rhetoric, and it started with "Slave High and Slave forever swore to the death of his lord of infinite obedience."

Then, generally speaking carefully, I asked myself if I had any other arrangements for these two days.

If not, she has "an extremely terrified and unfeeling request, and 1 head-kowtows to the master's sincere and terrified statement".

The suggestion is that during the day, I will perform a simple ceremony for myself, her and Papa Ya, and inform the city lord. In this way, the status and the land and population of the noble master are confirmed. "Master Gao", and then began to stretch out "the huge and noble hand that covers the sky of Bate City."

Seeing this, Lu Ming couldn't help laughing, and said to himself that you thought you were very wise, but you still underestimated me, it's almost the same as changing Bate City to the Western Regions.

Next, she said that a simple ceremony is not equal to a wedding in the East China Sea, and even the marriage here is not recognized by the law of the East China Sea. Just this home.

Her second suggestion is to suggest that "the giant master whose wisdom is comparable to the three dragon gods" can participate in the annual "Gonghu Fishing Competition" tomorrow, and only needs to be a bystander, but from then on, the master will also be killed by Bate City. All people in the world are regarded as their own.

In the end, there are all kinds of apologies, apologies for daring to write this letter, and the inscription is "the humble little concubine who will always listen to the thunderous sound of your stalwart body descending from the sky - Sanjin".

Looking at the letter, Lu Ming scratched his head, amused at first, and then suddenly shuddered.

This old lady is a bit scary.

No, no, it's better to find a way to send it away.

Although, I have a vague feeling that if she really helps herself, it will be of great help to her in the Western Regions.

But if she is still focused on the Popolo family, then it is very possible that there will be no bones left of what she eats here.

After all, I can come to the Western Regions once or twice a year, and staying for ten days and a half months is not bad.

Of course, if she really understands who she is and what kind of cards she has now, with her wisdom, she will definitely choose a win-win situation.

Outside, Luo Yi gently knocked on the door again, "Master, people from the economic and trade group have arrived in Bate City."

Lu Ming agreed, suddenly funny, if he really held a ceremony today to marry two concubines, Sherlock, would he want to kill himself?
