When I was in Qin Dynasty, I lost contact with the wave

Chapter 33 Sister-in-law, I want to eat dumplings (read more!)
Seeing Liu Yi's excitement, Madam Hu couldn't help being a little curious, who is this Zhang Ji, who can be called a brother and brother with Liu Yi, who has always been brutal and bloodthirsty? Could it be that he is also an equally violent martial artist?

A look of disgust flashed across Madam Hu's face when she thought that the visitor might also be a vicious person.

"Husband, since there are distinguished guests coming, the concubine will first go down and instruct the chef to cook some delicacies for the distinguished guests."

Although Mrs. Hu doesn't love Liu Yi, and now she hates Liu Yi to the core, she still maintains restraint, suppresses the hatred in her heart, and acts like a docile and polite wife on the surface, and uses this behavior to avoid many things she doesn't want. Face things that don't even need to be faced.

On weekdays, Liu Yi dotes on Mrs. Hu, and he also knows that Mrs. Hu is cold-tempered and doesn't like to see outsiders, so he will follow Mrs. Hu's thoughts and let her go back to the back house to rest.

But today, Liu Yi didn't follow her thoughts, but shook his head with a serious face.

"No!"

"Although Zhang Ji is young, his status... is by no means clinging to the powerful. Moreover, he treats people sincerely. If he hadn't suggested that I take my personal guards to go out this time, my husband might have died at the hands of that assassin yesterday." Liu Raising his arms intentionally, the maid at the side put a tolerant thin shirt on his muscular body, "What's more, he is my brother."

What Liu Yi said was that Zhang Ji had a close relationship with him, and he was very grateful to Zhang Ji, so Mrs. Hu had to accompany Zhang Ji to entertain this distinguished guest, in order to show Liu Yi's respect for Zhang Ji.

As for why Mrs. Hu must be called, this involves the issue of etiquette.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, women did not need to live in the boudoir like the later generations, and practice female labor all day long.

Women in this era are very free before they get married. For example, when Le Yi led the Allied Forces of the Five Kingdoms to break through 72 cities of Qi State, King Qi Min fled Jucheng and was killed by General Nao Chi of Chu State.Tian Fazhang, the son of King Min of Qi, changed his name and surname, and worked as a servant in the home of Tai Shijiao in Jucheng.Taishi's daughter thought that Tian Fazhang had a great appearance and was definitely not an ordinary person, so she liked him very much and treated him very well. She often stole food and clothing for him, and even had an affair with Tian Fazhang.Later, Tian Fazhang succeeded to the throne, known as King Qixiang in history, and made the daughter of Tai Shijiao the Queen, known as King Queen in history.

This is enough to show that the degree of freedom of women in the Warring States period was not the later dynasties that did not allow women to meet guests.

After a woman gets married, although there will be some restrictions, it is not strict.

And Liu Yi asked Mrs. Hu to receive the guests together, which was a kind of courtesy expression, just like paying homage to the mother of later generations.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, although wives did not often accompany their husbands to receive guests, it was not forbidden.On the contrary, letting the wife accompany the husband to receive the guests can show the intimacy and respect for the guests.And this wife is not just a correct wife, but also a concubine.

However, Liu Yi asked Mrs. Hu to accompany Zhang Ji not only because Zhang Ji's suggestion saved his life, but also because he wanted to get closer to Zhang Ji and further deepen their relationship.

Although he doesn't know the identity of the assassin in this assassination, he already has some guesses.

The first thing to rule out is the possibility of assassination by other countries. Although he is Zuo Sima, there are only more than ten thousand Han soldiers under his command. It is of no value to assassinate him.

Secondly, Ji Wuye was excluded, otherwise Ji Wuye would not agree to him mobilizing such a heavy army to guard his mansion.

Then ruled out King Han, Crown Prince, Prime Minister Han Zhang Kaidi, Fourth Prince Han Yu and others. If they had such power, would they still need to assassinate themselves?
In the end, quicksand was also ruled out by him.

In the same way, although he is Ji Wuye's confidant, it is not worth sending a killer to kill him.

There is only one possibility that Liu Yi can think of.

That is, the other party came to assassinate him for the treasure of Huoyu Mountain Villa that he hid many years ago.

But there should be no insiders back then, not even Ji Wuye.

However, if it is really because of the treasure, then Liu Yi must be vigilant at 12 points.

Not only was the assassin highly skilled in martial arts, but also because once Ji Wuye learned of this, he would be furious and would definitely cut him into pieces.

Therefore, he had to find a way out, and this way out was Zhang Ji.

Liu Yi wanted to speed up the progress of his relationship with Zhang Ji, so he asked Mrs. Hu to accompany him to receive Zhang Ji to show his closeness.

"Brother, how is your injury?"

Zhang Ji ran into the main hall two steps at a time, his face full of anxiety.

The butler at the side wanted to stop Zhang Ji, because it was extremely rude, but was stopped by Liu Yi.

Zhang Ji was born in a noble family, so how could he be an impolite person.Knowing the etiquette but disobeying the etiquette, this is because Zhang Ji is worried about his elder brother from the bottom of his heart!
After he was assassinated, even Ji Wuye just asked if it would hurt his life and stopped asking, let alone gave him anything.

Humans are afraid of comparison.

Zhang Ji was so worried about his safety, and even brought a whole cart full of precious medicinal materials, which made Liu Yi even more emotional.

Zhang Ji is a sincere person!

Liu Yi happily grabbed Zhang Ji's arm, so that he didn't have to pay attention to those complicated etiquette, and pulled him into the table.

Madam Hu at the side clasped her hands in front of her with a dignified and courteous look.

However, at this moment, Mrs. Hu's heart was overwhelmed, and she stared dumbfounded at Zhang Ji who seemed very close to Liu Yi.

He...how could he be so close to Liu Yi!
Madam Hu originally thought that after a few days of pondering, she had a certain understanding of Zhang Ji, but immediately felt that she didn't understand Zhang Ji at all.

However, there is one thing she can be sure of.

Zhang Ji is definitely a "bad" person.

On the surface, he and Liu Yi are brothers and sisters, but secretly plot against his sister-in-law!

Now when she sees Zhang Ji, she will unconsciously recall the scene of swallowing... that day, and the red-faced memory can't be dispelled in her mind for a long time.

However, it was clearly Zhang Ji's fault, but Madam Hu lowered her head and tried to avoid making eye contact with Zhang Ji.

Now when she sees Zhang Ji, she will unconsciously recall that...scene, and the red-faced memory can't be dissipated in her mind for a long time.

"Brother, come, let me introduce you."

Liu Yi pointed to Mrs. Hu beside her and said, "This is your sister-in-law, Mrs. Hu."

"Zhang Ji met Mrs. Hu."

Zhang Ji bowed down and saluted, but was interrupted by Liu Yi halfway.

"I'm a martial artist. I don't talk about so many broken rules. What do I call Mrs. Hu and what do I worship?" Liu Yi waved his hand and said with some displeasure, "Just call me sister-in-law, and you don't need to pay any big courtesy, it's too out of the ordinary!"

Zhang Ji suddenly understood, and slightly cupped his hands at Mrs. Hu.

"Meet my sister-in-law."

Zhang Ji secretly blinked at Mrs. Hu, his eyes were full of teasing intentions, deliberately prolonging the tone of the word "sister-in-law".

"My concubine has seen my uncle."

Madam Hu also gave Zhang Ji a sneaky look, and saluted.

Liu Yi naturally didn't notice Zhang Ji and Mrs. Hu's small actions, but felt that Mrs. Hu was very obedient today.

After all, even in the past, even if I wanted Mrs. Hu to come to receive guests, Mrs. Hu would often just nod to the guests without saying a word, and would not get up to say goodbye to the guests until I asked her to retreat back to the back house.

Liu Yi, who felt that Mrs. Hu was giving him a lot of face today, felt a little less unhappy about being assassinated, her round face was full of smiles, and her appetite improved a lot.

Zhang Ji smiled secretly, and persuaded Liu Yi: "Brother, you are injured, how can you drink alcohol!"

As he said that, Zhang Ji acted impolitely again, got up and crossed the seat, and snatched the wine bottle from Liu Yi's hand.

But for an alcoholic like Liu Yi, the more you don't let him drink, the more he wants to drink.

"Brother, this is the last bottle!"

"sure!"

"Okay, brother, this is really the last bottle, you can't drink any more!"

"Okay, this is really the last bottle!"

"Brother, drink any more and you'll be drunk!"

"Nonsense, how can you get drunk for your brother!"

"Don't be flattering when interacting with others. Elder brother can only drink ten more bottles at most. Is it a huge amount? Or don't drink it."

"Nonsense! I can still drink twenty bottles for my brother!"

Zhang Jiming kept trying to persuade Liu Yi to drink less, but he kept urging Liu Yi to drink more and more, until he became a small party dish, his face was flushed, and he lay on the table and snored.

Mrs. Hu, who was tasting the delicacies, was slightly stunned. Zhang Ji had been dissuading her, so why did Liu Yi get drunk even faster?

And by the looks of it, he was very drunk.

In the main hall, Madam Hu looked at Zhang Ji who was smiling maliciously, feeling a little uneasy in her heart.

Because he had just been assassinated, when the banquet was held, Liu Yi ordered the doors and windows to be closed, and then sent personal guards to wait outside to prevent the assassin from attacking.So at the moment there are only Liu Yi, Zhang Ji and Mrs. Hu in the main hall, but at this moment Liu Yi is as drunk as a dead pig, leaving only sober men and widows, the atmosphere is strangely strange.

Zhang Ji walked forward with a smile, pushed Liu Yi, lifted his eyelids to see, and made sure that Liu Yi was really drunk, so he became unscrupulous.

"Sister-in-law, I want to eat dumplings."

Zhang Ji looked at the anxious Mrs. Hu playfully, picked her up and sat her on his lap.

Originally, because of some intimate contact between the two, Mrs. Hu had already adapted to Zhang Ji's rude behavior, but the premise was that only the two of them were present.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Ji would openly call at the door and "eye-eyed" with Liu Yi in front of Liu Yi.At this moment, Liu Yi was still touching himself after he was drunk.

"Don't... don't do this, my husband... Liu Yi is still there."

Madam Hu gently pushed Zhang Ji's chest, her voice was timid and full of tension.

"Isn't this better?" Zhang Ji put his dishonest hand on Madam Hu's waist, "Don't Madam think it's funny?"

Madam Hu gritted her teeth, looking at Liu Yi from time to time, for fear that Liu Yi would wake up.

"Little thief, let go quickly, if Liu Yi wakes up, you will die without a place to bury you."

"Oh?" Zhang Ji hugged Madam Hu even tighter, teasingly said, "Madam is caring about me?"

Madam Hu turned her head and ignored Zhang Ji, but she couldn't resist Zhang Ji's entanglement, her cheeks were slightly red.

"Ma'am, are you shy now? Don't forget, you promised me that no matter the time or occasion..."

As Zhang Ji spoke, he untied it...Brother Zhang Ji held his head high and looked at Mrs. Hu aggressively, with a proud expression on his face.

For no reason, Madam Hu thought it was absurd, but the scene of three wolves slaughtering her whole family flashed through her mind, and a surge of hatred surged in her heart.

So... is it considered revenge on Liu Yi?
Madam Hu lowered her head and began to enjoy the delicious food at the finale of the banquet.

"Yes, ma'am, that's it."

Zhang Ji held Mrs. Hu's head, and deliberately approached Liu Yi, and the sound of tongue smacking sounded in Liu Yi's ear.

The joyful sense of vengeance, strong excitement and tension of being broken made Madam Hu speed up her meal, hoping to end the banquet as soon as possible.

Just when the banquet was about to end, Zhang Ji suddenly said in a mysterious way: "Madam, don't forget to wipe your mouth this time~"
