Chapter 1529 The Royal Family of Chu
"Marty, this is the little girl Peiyun!"
In a secluded and cool house in Wuhu Garden, Chen Xu met the middle-aged man and his daughter.
Chen Xu looked up and down at the beautiful and charming girl in a thick burlap dress, pinched her chin and pondered for a while, then waved her hand to let the maids who served her back and looked at the father and daughter with a serious expression.
"Who are your last name and who are you? Why do you do this today?"
The girl was so scared that she hid behind the man, while the man shivered slightly and bowed his hands and said respectfully: "It is said that the Marquis of Qinghe is completely up to him. Caomin's thoughts were indeed seen through at first sight by the Marquis!"
"Don't praise me. Your tricks are too simple. Tell me, what did you come from? What did you think and cost? If you didn't see you have no intention, I would expose your tricks on the spot and plot against Your Majesty, you should know the consequences!" Chen Xu waved his hand and leaned on the back of the chair.
"Caomin has no ill-heartedness towards the emperor and the marquis. Since the marquis has seen through it, Caomin will not hide it. In the following, the surname is Chu, his name is Wuxin, and his little girl is Peiyun!" The man bowed respectfully and replied respectfully.
"Submitted to Chu?" He sat down and looked at the man straight.
Now, the Qin Dynasty had officially implemented the law of the merger of surnames a few years ago. At present, everyone except the royal family can only have one surname, either the surname or the surname. Once registered with the local government, the family surnames will not be changed from then on, completely eliminating the chaotic situation of mixed surnames in the past, and by the way, it also popularizes surnames. Everyone needs to have a name and a surname. If not, you can think of one by yourself, or let the registered officials press one by one, but absolutely cannot be left out.
In other words, from a few years ago, there were no names or names in the entire Qin Dynasty, and even slaves must have names.
Chu took the country as its surname, and almost all the surname Chu in the south were closely related to the old Chu royal family.
"No wonder I thought it was strange when I saw you at first sight. Although I was a coarse cloth and poor person, my conversation was definitely different from that of ordinary fishermen. It turned out to be the old Chu royal family. Tell me, what does it have to do with the Xiong family?"
"In fact, Caomin was originally a descendant of the Xiong clan of Mi. After Qin destroyed Chu, he no longer had the royal identity. He changed his name and surname and then became a wanderer among the people to make a living by herding sheep and fishing. The marquis was in front of him, but he did not dare to deceive him. His real name was Xiong Xin!" The man did not hide his identity.
"Xiong Xin..."
Chen Xu suddenly stood up, walked around the man twice and looked up and down for a long time and said, "It turns out that you are Xiong Xin. You are very brave. You actually use this method to attract the attention of this marquis. But what are the attempts for me to get close to you like this? Don't lie, otherwise you will die very ugly!"
"Horse...Horse Marquis knows me?" Xiong Xin was so scared that she was all over her body when Chen Xu saw it.
"Haha, although I have never seen you, since you admit your identity, I can guess that you are the grandson of Xiong Huai, King Huai of Chu. Xiong Huai died of prison in Qin back then. This is a great humiliation for you Chu people. As the King of Chu, how can you not have the intention of revenge? Therefore, you have no other intention to get close to this majesty, I am afraid you will not believe it yourself!" Chen Xu sat down on the chair with a big golden sword.
"Marty, I really have no intention of being ill. The State of Chu has been destroyed for more than ten years, and I have witnessed all the changes after the State of Chu's destruction. The land of Chu is now peaceful and prosperous, and the people live and work in peace. The government orders implemented by the court are treated equally by the seven countries. Although Chu is a descendant of the King of Chu, he is not a person of grass and trees that does not know the general..."
"If you want to talk about the hatred of the king, I did have it before, and the people of Chu have been obsessed with it. But after all, nearly a hundred years have passed, and now even the State of Chu has been destroyed for more than ten years. Just like the article published in the newspaper, the people of the seven countries suffer in the melee, and only the unification of the world is the general trend. If the Qin Dynasty fails, the world will still be in a melee state. How can the people of the world talk about stability and happiness!"
"A few years ago, an old man named Juchao Gong arranged a raid named Song Yi to persuade me to surrender to Xiang's family. He said that the Xiang family would raise an army in the next day, and he would support me as the king to restore the Great Chu. Some time ago, Xiang's family really raised an army, but was quickly destroyed by the court. A few days ago, a man heard that the two counties of Kuaiji and Minzhong surrounded and suppressed bandits hiding in Zhoushan. A famous Duke Juchao offered a plan to capture the remnants of Xiang's family. Although he was stupid, he also knew that the world's general trend was unstoppable. Chu was just a prince of the Great Zhou at the beginning, but more than 800 princes of the Great Zhou disappeared. Not only Chu destroyed the country, but Chu also destroyed Sui, Chen, Zeng, Cai, even Wu, Yue and dozens of countries were able to dominate the world. The princes competed for hegemony and the seven countries competed for power. How could the world have been safe for hundreds of years... "
"In recent years, Xiong Xin lived in seclusion among the people, and lived by sheep and fishing. Although she lived in poverty, she was also at ease and was at ease. Her wife was not let go of each other. She also had a well-behaved daughter who lived in harmony with her neighbors. No one knew that I was the King of Chu. I must read the Daqin Metropolis Daily almost every issue. I earned some money and used it to buy books and newspapers. Over the years, Xiong Xin finally understood that what the marquis did was the true righteousness and was always seeking welfare for the people of the world and for the poor, hungry and cold people. All the reforms and government orders of the Qin Dynasty were completely different from the monarchs at the time. It was the real way to govern the country... This time, using this opportunity to approach the marquis is also Xiong Xin felt guilty towards her little girl. I hope she could learn some skills at the Women's College and marry a good family in the future. She would no longer have to be as poor as me!"
After Xiong Xin finished speaking, he breathed a long sigh of relief, and his slightly nervous expression completely relaxed.
His identity has been hidden among the people for more than ten years, and very few people know it. He had secretly had some contacts with the princes and nobles scattered among the people of Chu State. However, the Xiang family's rebellion was quickly extinguished. Most of the Chu State nobles who knew his identity were killed during this rebellion, so even fewer people knew his identity.
He saw the huge changes in the Qin Dynasty over the years. As a former royal family, his perspective was naturally different from that of ordinary civilians. Moreover, because he received a good education, he read books and newspapers on weekdays and was also very familiar with the trends of the Qin Dynasty and the public opinion. In particular, the fact that the First Emperor appointed Li Mu and his descendants to lead his troops to fight for peace was greatly shocked to the people of the six countries and even more shocked to Xiong Xin.
With this matter alone, Emperor Shin-Emperor's demeanor could convince most of the people in the six countries.
After a fierce ideological struggle, Xiong Xin felt that it was meaningless to continue to hold the hatred of the past, and the Qin Dynasty was unbreakable. He chatted with neighbors or some scholars who read and read, read, read, talked about politics on weekdays. Everyone was satisfied with their current life and had no disgust for the rule of the Qin Dynasty. Some people even said that the imperial court's decree or policy was not good, and they would be criticized instantly.
What the people are willing to do is the general trend.
At present, no one can shake the rule of the Qin Dynasty in the six countries.
"Haha, it seems that you have not forgotten your wealthy life!"
After hearing Xiong Xin's words, Chen Xu slowly relaxed his seriousness and said with a smile.
"Yes, those who work hard to control others, and those who work hard to control others. Although Xiong Xin can keep her poor, her daughter is innocent. If she has the opportunity, as a father, she will definitely not want her to waste her life in the sheep pen and mulberry. However, the world can allow her to change her status through her own efforts. Only the Women's College in Xianyang, who is planning for the future of her daughter, Xiong Xin dares to approach the Marquis with some tricks, hoping to help her fulfill this wish. Although the Marquis has seen through Xiong Xin's identity, he heard that the Marquis is unparalleled and righteous, and he still hopes that the Marquis will not break his promises!" Xiong Xin said with neither humility nor arrogant as he held his daughter's hand.
"Hahahahahahahaha, it's true that he is the royal clan of the Great Chu. He is indeed extremely courageous. Don't worry, since this marquis promised to take your daughter to Xianyang, he will definitely not break his promise and become fat!"
Chen Xu stood up with a smile, waved to the girl and said, "Come here and let me take a good look!"
"Yun'er comes over, don't be afraid!" Xiong Xin gently pushed his nervous daughter to Chen Xu.
"It's not bad, with a dignified appearance and a good look. Although her skin is a little rough, she certainly hasn't done much farm work..." Chen Xu nodded and commented as he looked.
"The little girl was born in the palace of the Chu King when she was young. Although she was not favored, she was also frugal. Later, she was separated from the people with my husband and wife. However, she always regarded her as a pearl in her hand. Even if she was poor, she taught her to read and read, which was different from the ordinary poor daughter!" Xiong Xin quickly explained next to her.
"Okay, okay, Nian Fang thirteen, in his prime, he reads and reads, has a good appearance, and must be well-educated..."
The more Chen Xu said, the more confused the Xiong Xin was, and she didn't know how to answer the conversation. The girl's cheeks were red when she heard it. She shyly buried her head in her chest and peeped at Chen Xu from time to time. She was excited and nervous. She didn't know why the famous Qinghe Hou had such a high evaluation of her.
"Do you want to be a royal relative of the Qin Dynasty?" Chen Xu suddenly looked up at Xiong Xin in admiration.
Xiong Xin:...
"Mr. Marquis, what did you say? The grass people didn't hear it clearly!" After a long time of stagnation, Xiong Xin came to his senses and asked nervously.
"Well, I saw that your daughter is a kind-hearted and beautiful girl, with a dignified appearance, and she could read and read. Especially the identity of the descendant of the King of Chu is not too bad. I want to introduce her to a marriage!" Chen Xu sat down with a smile.
Xiong Xin finally heard it clearly this time, and her face turned red with excitement and bowed, "If the Marquis is willing to be a matchmaker, the Caomin will naturally be grateful, but... but what you just said was the emperor... the royal family?"
"Well, you heard it right. He is indeed a royal grandson. This year he is at the age of getting married. His Majesty has agreed to find a daughter of a good match for him. Now the Ministry of Rites is in charge. Pei Yun is just right in age and his identity is quite good. If you and Pei Yun are willing, this marquis can help recommend it. As for success or not, it can only depend on His Majesty's meaning!" Chen Xu nodded.
"Okay, everything depends on the marquis. Cheng or not, my husband and wife are grateful. Peiyun, why don't you thank Qinghe Marquis!" Xiong Xin quickly reminded her daughter.
