Chapter 6: A Funny Cousin
Ruan Qingai rubbed her eyebrows and asked, "When did I say I would give you the sky stone?"
"This is the condition for me to live in Beiyuan."
"I just tell you that there is a sky stone in the back mountain of Beiyuan, but you have to find it yourself. If you can find it, it is yours. Look at Mr. Hengfu, in such a big bamboo garden, he burned the bamboo garden with a fire and dug a hole. He dug out all my ten jars of a hundred-year-old wines. Do you think I have stopped him?"
Ruan Qingai was actually very sad when she said this.
It’s really nothing to give out ten jars of fine wines, her bamboo garden! The evergreen bamboo garden, a piece of white ice-like city, rarely appears a hint of emerald green, and it will be burned by the Hengfu.
ha.
When she heard the news, she really shed several tears.
Ruan Qingai stood on tiptoe and patted Wan Jinglei's strong shoulder, "Brother Jinglei, if you go overturn the hill in my backyard, I won't scold you, but where was the stone that day? I said you can find it yourself, so you have to find it yourself. It's useless for you to argue. Do you understand?"
Wan Jinglei thought about it and felt that she had done nothing wrong and could not find any flaws. There was no place to make trouble, so he could only feel frustrated and choked.
He saw that the workers next to him were staring at them and asked, "What are you doing?"
"Carry ice. A group of merchants came to the city to order some ice cubes. Maybe some wealthy families wanted to build ice cellars."
"What does this copper tube work for?"
"I just want to measure the depth of Bingjue Lake and see if there are any fish."
Wan Jinglei couldn't help but mock and laugh, "You city lord are so idle."
"That's it, that's it. Our Bingjue City has a simple and simple folk customs and there is nothing big to do with me. Isn't that good?"
"snort."
Wan Jinglei used his nose to hum.
The sound of horse hooves kicking and stomping in the distance attracted everyone's attention.
Looking sideways, a man with oily face wearing a marten cloak slowly drove in.
"sister!"
Call me Sister Ruan Qingai?
Then this young man should be Ruan Qingai's cousin, Ruan Hongwang.
Wan Jinglei looked at Ruan Qingai, and saw that her expression was slightly distorted. It seemed that the rumors were true. Their cousins were not in harmony. Ruan Hongwang and his father came to hand in the paper every month, referring to his cousin's book. The contents on it were written were all out and said it.
However, the memorials were pressed on the table by the emperor, and the wind was not revealed at all. A female literate official accidentally knocked over the tea and tidied it up and peeked at the content, and then these winds came out.
Ruan Hongwang dismounted and laughed, "Sister, how about it? Can you give me the position of the city lord? I brought a lot of businessmen here this time. Can I stand it? I have made a lot of money for Bingjue City. Haha, what about you? Can you do it?"
"Ahem—" Ruan Qingai smiled awkwardly and spoke to Wan Jinglei, "Don't mind, my cousin often jokes with me."
"I'm not kidding, sister, you have to admit that you are not the city lord. Do you know that the emperor summoned you to Beijing several times and wanted you to give way. You don't think about it. There is no woman in this world who is an official? The emperor means that you want you to give up the position of the city lord to me. Why are you just can't tell me clearly?" Ruan Hongwang turned around and shouted at the workers, "What are you doing when you are standing there? Hurry up and chisel! My merchants are still waiting!"
The workers looked at Ruan Qingai in awkward manner.
After Ruan Qingai winked, the workers quickly bowed their heads to work, which gave Ruan Hongwang enough face.
Ruan Hongwang's greasy face turned greasy when he smiled and looked even more greasy under the sunlight.
Wan Jinglei couldn't help but squeak.
A woman is a woman, a soft-footed shrimp. With her temperament, she can be the city lord for so many years? It's really strange.
Ruan Hongwang spoke to Wan Jinglei, "Brother Wan, I know that the emperor sent you here this time to monitor. You saw it too. My sister really has no ability at all. When you go back, tell the emperor..."
"I won't go back."
"Eh?" Ruan Hongwang asked blankly, "No... won't go back?"
"I'll marry into your sister, why are you going back?"
"But my sister said you are here to monitor her, and you will always go back in a few days."
Wan Jinglei chuckled, "You believe whatever your sister says? Or do you only like to believe what you want to hear?"
"Well."
Wan Jinglei shook his head and smiled, "No wonder your sister is so useless, you can't take away the position of the city lord."
Ruan Hongwang was embarrassed and embarrassed.
Wan Jinglei narrowed his eyes and looked at Ruan Qingai, "Is he the only heir to the Ruan family?"
Ruan Qingai smiled, "No. He is not the heir."
Wan Jinglei said, "I'm asking, after you die, is he your only heir?"
"Ah hahaha!" Ruan Qingai smiled awkwardly, "I'm still young, I shouldn't die for the time being, right?"
Wan Jinglei smiled, "I can't say it's true. The beauty has a poor life, it depends on God's will. You should make a successor soon."
"Uh..." Why did she hear a trace of murderous aura from Wan Jinglei's words?
Ruan Hongwang said happily, "Yes, yes, yes, yes, I am her only heir."
Ruan Qingai laughed repeatedly, "Maybe Brother Jinglei doesn't know yet, I have changed the constitution of Bingjue City. The position of the city lord will be elected in the future."
One sentence changed Wan Jinglei's contemptuous eyes.
"What did you say? I don't understand. What does elective system mean?"
"Do you understand the hereditary system?"
"I don't understand either." He is a military officer.
Ruan Qingai patted his shoulder and helped him popularize the science, "Above the marquis, there are all hereditary systems, including the emperor. When I die, my son will inherit it. When my son dies, my grandson will inherit it. I am also a hereditary species. After my father dies, the position of the city lord will be inherited by me. The elected system will be different. When I die, the position of the city lord will not be retained by Ruan Hongwang. Instead, the people will elect the most suitable heir to inherit it. So I don't need any heirs. If I die, there will naturally be an heir to inherit it. But it is definitely not Ruan Hongwang."
Next to him, Ruan Hongwang jumped and said, "Sister, what's wrong with you? How can you change the constitution? You're rebelling, do you know?"
Ruan Qingai smiled shyly, "It's just a constitution change, how can you say that you are rebelling? I don't invade other people's land. Besides, the city lord has the right to change part of the constitution within a certain range."
Wan Jinglei asked softly, "Are you sure you are not guilty when you tamper with the constitution?"
Ruan Qingai shrugged, "No, because the hereditary constitution has no such thing as the law, and it is considered a default system. I will add the democratic constitution privately. This is not a tampering, it can only be said to be an addition. It is completely reasonable for me to add it to the category of constitutions that can be added. When the emperor comes, I argue with reason, and he doesn't blame me."
Ruan Hongwang was so angry that he stomped his feet, "I don't agree! It's wrong for you to tamper with the constitution privately, so you can change it back."
