The Six Arts of the Gentleman in the Bright Moon of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 1022: The Dark-Bellied Nong Yu [Subscribe*Monthly Tickets]

Looking at the confused eyes of Nong Yu and Li Si, Zi Nu roughly understood what they meant.

These two people obviously misunderstood.

He thought that Han Fei and he were treating the two of them as part of their play.

The problem is, this has nothing to do with her, and she really wasn't making fun of the two of them.

Han Fei just did whatever he wanted.

What's more, Zi Nu also learned from Li Si that this was Han Wangan's intention, and might not really be Han Fei's intention.

"Is this what Han Bo meant, or did Han Fei tell you personally?" Zi Nu frowned and looked at Li Si and asked.

Li Si also understood that this seemed to be... really Han Wangan's own idea, not Han Fei's.

Li Si and Nong Yu reacted immediately and looked at each other. They understood each other's thoughts. There was nothing they could do since they were their senior brothers and sisters. They could only accept being part of their play.

"My senior brother came to see me in person!" This was the first time in Li Si's life that he lied.

Zi Nu frowned. Han Fei went to find Li Si in person?

is it possible?

Did I take the wrong medicine? Or was I possessed by a ghost?

Based on her understanding of Han Fei, even if she really came to her senses, she would never think of letting Li Si propose marriage.

Over the years, she could guess that Han Fei was up to no good just by sticking his butt out, let alone knowing to ask Li Si to propose marriage.

"Is there a possibility that Han Fei went to see His Majesty?" Nong Yu offered an assist.

There is a consensus in Bingzhou that if you have any unsolvable problems, you can go to His Majesty and you will definitely get a satisfactory answer.

If no answer is given, Your Majesty will make this question disappear.

To sum it up simply, if someone cannot be convinced by reason, His Majesty will take direct action to convince them.

Zi Nu was stunned for a moment. It seemed that this was the only possibility.

Given Han Fei's personality, it is unlikely that he would understand. The only possibility is that he was beaten into submission.

"Wasn't he beaten to death by His Majesty?" Zi Nu asked with concern.

Li Si was stunned for a moment. He really didn't understand Bingzhou's style of doing things, but he didn't say anything about what he didn't know. He looked at Nanyue for an answer.

"It's very likely that he's not dead!" Nanyue hesitated and said guiltily.

"Go back and tell Han Fei that this is not enough!" Zi Nu flipped through the gift list and said casually, also to give herself and Han Fei a way out.

Li Si went over the gift list in his mind and thought, if Zi Nu was a girl from an ordinary family, the items on the gift list would be enough. But times are different now. Zi Nu is now the Chancellor of the Bingzhou Music Bureau, so this gift list is indeed not enough.

The most important thing is that Zi Nu's words revealed her willingness.

As for things that can be solved with money, that’s not a problem because he’s not the one paying for it anyway.

"Then Tonggu will go back and discuss it with his senior brother!" Li Si nodded and left the room.

As soon as Li Si stepped out of the door, he heard the sound of things being thrown and smashed in the house. He subconsciously shrank his neck. Why bother!
But fortunately, I wasn't the one suffering.

"What does he mean? He chased me away, and then sent someone to propose marriage to me!" Zi Nu's voice was heard.

Nanyue could only comfort her helplessly.

Soon, Nongyu also left Yuefu and found Li Si.

The two of them looked at each other tacitly, and then went back to Beiye Royal City to purchase the betrothal gifts?
Don't be silly. Not to mention that Li Si is busy with official duties, Nongyu herself doesn't have much time to go out.

"I think..." Nong Yu began.

"Tonggu agrees!" Without waiting for Nanyue to finish speaking, Li Si immediately nodded in agreement.

If you dare to let them be part of the show, then you will screw them! It’s not your own money anyway.

I only look at the price when it comes to things. I take what is most expensive and never bargain!

"A sedan chair with eight bearers is a requirement of etiquette, but the Emperor and Empress have issued a royal decree allowing for extravagance during weddings, so a sedan chair with sixteen bearers is permitted!" Nanyue said casually.

Li Si looked at Nanyue in shock. When it comes to spending money, you women are the best. When it comes to being cunning, you are the best.

With all this, my salary will have to be advanced for three years.

"A phoenix coronet and a bridal robe are also indispensable. Coincidentally, I already have a set. They are not expensive, only two or three thousand gold coins." Nanyue continued.

The Phoenix Coronet and Bridal Bridal Gown were only worn once at a wedding, and after that only the emperor and empress were qualified to wear them, so keeping them would be a waste, and luckily someone was found to take them over.

"..." Li Si nodded silently. It would take three years to complete.

"What a pity! The thing Bingzhou has the most of is horses!" After calculating everything, Nong Yu felt a little regretful.

If it were in the Central Plains of China, using a pure white horse to pull a carriage would cost hundreds of gold.

It’s a pity that this is Bingzhou.

Li Si looked at Nanyue and seemed to be hesitant to speak. As expected, the sage was right. Only villains and women are difficult to raise. He really couldn't afford to raise them.

No matter who you offend, you can never offend a woman, especially the Emperor's woman.

"Does Anqixiang really agree to be the witness?" Nong Yu continued to ask.

"Yeah!" Li Si nodded.

He knew Zhao Gao, and he knew that Zhao Gao would not easily promise anything he was not sure of.

Therefore, the fact that Zhao Gao dared to say it proved that Anqisheng would definitely agree.

"If I remember correctly, An Qixiang is from a Taoist family!" A smile appeared on Nanyue's lips.

"Yes!" Li Si nodded. An Qisheng came from the Taoist Huang Lao school and was a direct disciple of He Shang Gong. This was known to the world.

"Then why not let Anqixiang write the marriage certificate?" Nong Yu continued to suggest.

Li Si wanted to say that he was also a literary master and one of the four most recognized calligraphers in the world today. He could write the marriage certificate himself, and especially the jade seal that would be used in the unification ceremony of the Qin State that was about to be launched was written by him.

But when he thought of Nanyue's words, his eyes widened instantly.

Ordinary marriage certificates contain praises and congratulations such as "My beloved is green, my heart is filled with longing", "The peach blossoms are young and beautiful, and the flowers are shining", and "May you be happily married". However, Taoist marriage certificates, especially those of the Tianzong sect, are deadly, and Huang Lao was born from Taoism...

A marriage contract should be submitted to the heaven and sent to the underworld. If you swear to this, both humans and gods will be killed, your body will be destroyed, and you will not exist in the underworld.

Moreover, according to Li Si's understanding, in addition to the distinction between heaven and man, Taoism is actually divided into two factions: those who can marry and those who cannot. This fatal marriage certificate was created by the faction that cannot marry in order to retaliate against the faction that can marry.

And Anqisheng has been single for so many years, so it is obvious that he cannot marry into the same family.

Thinking of this, Li Si looked at Nanyue with even more fear. This woman must not be offended!

After returning, I must make it clear to my colleagues that Madam Nongyu from Bingzhou should be avoided if possible.

And when Li Si came to propose marriage again, Zi Nu looked at the long and thick list of betrothal gifts and fell silent. She had been in charge of the Han family's property for so many years, so she knew exactly how much money Han Wangan and Han Fei had.

Han Wangan lived with the Crown Princess, so the money was managed by Han Huan's widow, the Crown Princess. Therefore, only a small part of the money here might be paid by Han Wangan and the Crown Princess, and the bulk of it had to be paid by Han Fei.

"Even if we sell Han Fei, we won't get that much money, right?" Zi Nu looked at Li Si hesitantly and said in a low voice.

"Don't worry about it, sister. It's already been bought and it's not you who paid for it!" Nanyue persuaded.

Zi Nu's mouth twitched. It's easy for you to say that. After she gets married, the debt will still be borne by them as a couple.

But this also means that for the next ten years or even his entire life, Han Fei will have to work for Bingzhou for free to pay off his debts.
