Chapter 493 Arrival at Dongli Kingdom
Chapter 493 Arrival at Dongli Kingdom
The envoy from Dongli Kingdom led the way directly into the city. Su Yueyao opened the car window and saw the bustling streets outside. There were crowds of people, but they were all young men, and there were very few women.
"Are women also rare in Dongli Country? You can hardly see women on the streets." Su Yueyao asked Wei Jihua.
"Well, the proportion of women in Dongli has always been lower than that in Fengluan. Dongli women have been in charge of the family since they were young. The government is against women getting married. Men here are not allowed to inherit the family business. If a family has no women to inherit, the women born to the elder or younger brothers can inherit."
"Isn't this a mess? The man is married, and his wife only gives him or there is only one woman in the entire family. Doesn't this woman inherit two families?" Su Yueyao said.
"There is such a situation, but there is no way. In the past, the number of Dongli women giving birth to boys was still very large, but there were fewer women. In recent years, the overall number has been low." Wei Jihua said.
"Okay! Now everyone is targeting women's bellies. They all want women to have more children!"
"Nowadays, women with high fertility rates are sought after by various noble families. Which family would want to end their lineage?"
"Lady Su will stay at Sifang Pavilion, the place where Dongli Kingdom receives foreign envoys. My mother also invited some small countries that have relations with Dongli Kingdom, and they will come one after another in the next two days."
"I have specially selected the largest courtyard for you. Miss Su, please take a rest today. My mother will meet you at the Regent's Palace tomorrow. After all the people from the country have arrived in two days, we will hold a banquet in the palace."
"Lady Su, you are on a diplomatic mission to Dongli Country. The noble families in Dongli Country all know about it and are very curious about you. So, Lady Su, it is best for you to stay in Sifang Pavilion during your stay in Dongli Country."
After hearing this, Su Yueyao curled the corners of her mouth. She was not that stupid. She almost never attended those banquets in Fengluan Country. Even if she wanted to go out, she would not be stupid enough to go out wearing women's clothes when there were almost no women on the street just now.
Men's clothing is something you might consider.
At this time, the carriage arrived in front of a house, and the eldest prince helped Su Yueyao get off the carriage.
Wei Jihua bowed to Su Yueyao and said, "Miss Su, I will go back home first."
Su Yueyao followed the envoy into the Sifang Pavilion, and the servants inside knelt beside them.
"Miss Su, please, our young master has specially selected a quiet courtyard for you. Please follow me."
"Thank you."
"You're welcome, Miss Su."
Su Yueyao slowly followed into the yard. As soon as she stepped into the yard, her eyes were attracted by the scenery in front of her.
I saw an exquisite and unique pavilion standing in the center of the courtyard, with a raised eaves on the roof. The pavilion was surrounded by lush green plants and colorful flowers. The breeze brought bursts of fragrance.
Walking along the bluestone path, you can see long corridors extending on both sides. The walls on one side of the corridor are covered with green vines. The sunlight shines through the gaps between the branches and leaves, forming patches of mottled light and shadow.
On the other side, there are various exquisite flower pots filled with gorgeous flowers, which are pleasing to the eye.
Looking further back, there are rows of neatly arranged houses. These houses have different shapes, but all appear simple and elegant. The roofs are covered with blue-grey tiles, and the doors and windows are carved with exquisite patterns, revealing a strong cultural atmosphere.
There are several tall trees planted in front of each house, and the shade of the trees adds a sense of tranquility and quietness to the entire courtyard.
It is indeed a nice yard.
"Miss Su, in order not to disturb you and the gentlemen's rest, the servants in the courtyard will bring you meals every day and hot water at night. The rest of the time they will guard the gate of the courtyard. You can send someone in to serve you if you need."
"The guards you bring with you can live in a small courtyard next door. Everything has been arranged," said the messenger.
Su Yueyao was very satisfied when she heard this and said with a smile: "The messenger arranged it very well. I am very satisfied."
"I have to go and report to the Regent. Bye." The messenger bowed and left.
Afterwards, the Imperial Guards and Fengyu Guards moved all of Su Yueyao and the others' luggage to the main house. They would probably be living here for a while.
"Does my wife want to take a bath or eat?"
"Let's have dinner first! We'll take a bath in the evening." Su Yueyao said.
"it is good."
Su Yueyao went to the dining hall and found that the servants had already served the dishes.
"You all please sit down! We can talk while we eat." Su Yueyao said as she sat in the middle seat.
"Good wife."
After everyone sat down and Su Yueyao picked up her chopsticks for the first time, everyone started to eat.
"I plan to marry Mr. Wei and go back early." Su Yueyao said directly.
"If what Master Wei said is true, I have no choice but to marry him."
"My dear wife, please try this shrimp. Dongli Kingdom has a city by the sea, and the fish and shrimp here are the most delicious." The eldest prince said as he put the shrimp in Su Yueyao's bowl.
"Let me try it. The Regent is targeting my stomach. Just go ahead! After we finish things here, we can go to the beach." Su Yueyao said.
"My dear wife, I want to go too. I have seen it once before and it is magnificent!" said Xu Minghe.
"Really? Let's go and take a look together then." Su Yueyao replied with a smile.
She has never been to the seaside in modern times, but it was possible in ancient times.
"The Regent is not easy to deal with, so we still have to be careful." Xingchen said.
"Indeed, when I entered the city today, I could tell from the prosperity of the streets that Dongli Country is very prosperous under her rule!"
"And I think Wei Jihua is a little afraid of the Regent. Wei Jihua's coming to pick us up, and even what he said, might have been instructed by the Regent. Whether it's true or not, we'll know when we meet the Regent."
"It's good that the wife knows what's going on!"
"Puraan, you and Gongyang are special envoys. Do you want to write a letter to the Queen of Dongli Kingdom to express the friendship between the two countries?"
"No need, we'll just wait to be summoned. This time it's mainly my wife who is attending the so-called poetry conference. If the Queen doesn't summon us two, we won't have anything to do." Pu An said.
"Oh!"
"Have you prepared some poems for the poetry competition for my wife?" Cui Yiyang asked.
"It's all a formality. There's nothing to prepare for. Besides, I don't know what questions they will ask, so I don't bother!" Su Yueyao said casually.
