One month later, it will be the New Year of the Tang Dynasty.

In the twelfth year of Tianbao, Gu Qing first arrived in Anxi. Within one year, he not only established himself in Anxi, but also established his authority. Now, in addition to his legitimate status, Gu Qing has become the real master of Anxi with real power.

At the beginning of New Year's Day, the thirteenth year of Tianbao comes quietly.

The small border town was decorated with lights and colorful decorations, the explosive poles were thrown into the fire and made a crackling sound. The people playing gongs and drums were in high spirits. The newly built market was even more crowded, and the people happily took out their savings that they had accumulated throughout the year.

, buying a lot of new year goods at the market.

Qiuci City is a small city where Hu and Han people live together. About one-third of the population in the city is Hu people. Most of the Han people migrated from Yumen Pass and have been living in Qiuci City for two or three generations.

Although they moved to the border areas, the customs of the Han people have still been preserved. Every New Year, the Han people in the city will celebrate as they do in Guan Nei, buying new year's goods, making lanterns, worshiping ancestors, etc., which is no different from Guan Nei.

But every New Year, the barbarians in the city feel a little embarrassed.

The Hu people don't celebrate the New Year, and the Hu people who live in the city are at the bottom of the contempt chain. Even if the Han people live in poverty, they always look at the Hu people with discriminatory eyes. The blood is mixed, and they have not been transformed into kings. Among the Han people

In their eyes, they are mixed-blooded barbarians, a symbol of lowliness. Even if the Hu people have a prosperous family, they still have no confidence in this city dominated by Han people, and they wear silk and satin with a guilty conscience everywhere.

As for intermarriage between Han and Hu, it is regarded as treason in the city, as long as Han people marry Hu people? Regardless of men and women, those who were originally Han people will automatically be reduced to Hu people, and they can no longer call themselves Han people? As for what kind of treatment will be given to the children born?

Discrimination? It goes without saying.

Gu Qing knows that this is reality? But he cannot change it. This kind of discrimination exists not only in Qiuci, but also in any city within the influence of the Tang Dynasty Protectorate.

What was the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty? Everyone was proud of the people of the Tang Dynasty. Some Hu people shamelessly wanted to register as residents of the Tang Dynasty, but most of them were cruelly rejected by the government.

It is not easy to get a household registration in the Tang Dynasty, unless you are a Hu people who have made military exploits in the Tang Dynasty? Or are you a tribe of Guicheng Hu people who are specially pacified by the emperor today? For example, the Ashina tribe, a Turkic tribe at the beginning of the founding of the Tang Dynasty.

Existence is reasonable? Gu Qing can't change it? He doesn't want to change it either.

Should be despised? Continue to be despised.

Are the Han people right? After many days of observation, Gu Qing found that the Hu people in the city were indeed not kings and did not know what loyalty was.

Most of the pleadings were filed against Hu Shang for unjust acts. Many cases like this have been handled, but they are still repeatedly banned.

To be honest, Gu Qing's impression of Hu people was not very good, and he felt a little repulsive. However, he was still quite polite to Hu Shang, who abided by his integrity.

On the first day of the New Year, Gu Qing gave himself a holiday and took his bodyguard to Fuzhi Inn to celebrate the New Year.

Feng Shu, Wei Shen and other fellow villagers are also here. Fuzhi Inn is a special event in Shiqiao Village today. Gu Qing is in a good mood. He is even more generous and generous when drinking with Feng Shu, Wei Shen and others, until the wine is dry.

In the evening, the people outside the inn were beating gongs and drums to celebrate the New Year with laughter. The joyous hustle and bustle complemented the smiles inside the inn, and the wine in the wine glasses was making out one growth ring after another.

Huangfu Sisi wore a scarf on her head and cooked excellent dishes one after another. Her simple dress could not hide her beautiful and refined face. Like a virtuous wife, she entertained her husband's relatives warmly and generously.

"Gu Qing, I have to say that you did a good job. Fortunately, you didn't stay in Shiqiao Village. You are not a thing in the pool. You wasted your life by staying in that remote mountain village. Today I see you stand out. Uncle

I'm very happy..." Feng Shu drank a little too much and kept talking.

Then Feng Shu, whose face was glowing, slapped Wei Shen who was immersed in eating and drinking next to him, and said angrily: "You bastard, you only know how to eat. Look at you Brother Gu, look at you again. Guawazi who makes shit, nothing can compare with him."

You, Brother Gu, are not as useless as you are now."

Wei Shen covered his head innocently and looked at Gu Qing with an aggrieved look.

Gu Qing laughed and said: "Uncle drinks too much, so don't worry about him. Live your life well, no matter whether you are rich or poor, just live comfortably and happily. The word 'progress' is actually the biggest devastation to life."

Wei Shen curled his lips and said: "You are extremely rich now, so it's easy to talk about it, but I am often beaten and scolded by the elders in the village. Now the elders in the village compare us with you and Brother Song. Whenever they don't like it, they will

After all the fighting and scolding, you and Brother Song have already accumulated great virtues from our ancestors when we were born in Shiqiao Village. How can we all become big shots?"

Gu Qing patted his shoulder and said with a smile: "I drank too much just now, and I accidentally drank chicken soup. So, let me say it again... Well, you should work harder and learn more from Song Gensheng and me.

, Hard work will definitely lead to success. Who doesn’t want to live a wealthy life? Tomorrow I will send someone a set of books to you, and I will ask the military officials to give you a few sets of test papers. This New Year, you should study hard and don’t go anywhere.

went."

Feng Shu, who was drunk, was overjoyed and nodded repeatedly: "It's so good! That's how it should be!"

Wei Shen was shocked and looked at Gu Qing in a daze, as if he had seen a devil.

Gu Qing smiled maliciously, feeling that he was too good at chatting.

Huangfu Sisi brought the last dish. He was so busy that his forehead was dripping with sweat. He wiped his hands and stood behind Gu Qing.

Feng Shu's eyes flashed and he said with a smile: "Girl, thank you for your hard work. It's because we are ignorant and bothered her with her work during the New Year."

Huangfu Sisi smiled and said, "It's not hard work. I would be happy if the New Year was more lively. If you didn't come, my little shop would be deserted and it would be uncomfortable to watch."

Feng Shu smiled and said: "Girl, let's sit down and eat together. Although you and I are not relatives, it is fate that we are both in a foreign land. Especially, you and Gu Qing have a close relationship. We treat it as one of our own family and celebrate the New Year together."

.”

Huangfu Sisi was happy and embarrassed, lowered his head and pursed his lips, smiling softly.

Gu Qing glanced at her and said: "Sit down, you have eaten this meal too, don't forget to make a heavy discount when you record the account."

Huangfu Sisi rolled his eyes at him, snorted softly, and sat down next to Gu Qing generously.

After pouring the wine and taking the cup, Huangfu Sisi first paid respect to his elders, then drank a few cups with Wei Shen and the other teenagers, and finally held the cup to Gu Qing, with affectionate eyes and said: "Master Hou, I wish you a happy new year and a promotion in the coming year."

Jinjue, the people of the four towns of Anxi appreciate your kindness."

Gu Qing laughed, raised his glass and said, "I also wish you a prosperous business and successful cure of your trembling hands."

Huangfu Sisi chuckled and cast an angry look coquettishly.

Feng Shu looked at the two of them with a smile, and for some reason suddenly thought of Zhang Huaiyu.

The woman in front of her has an affectionate look on her face, and she clearly has a deep affection for Gu Qing. Although Gu Qing is a noble lord and a prince, he is still a young man, and it is inevitable that he will not be able to control himself in the face of beauty. It is okay to take this woman as a concubine, but

You cannot threaten Miss Huaiyu’s position as the main wife.

Therefore, I had to send a letter to Chang'an to tell Miss Huaiyu everything here. Regarding Gu Qing's marriage, everyone in Shiqiao Village had already recognized Huaiyu's identity as the royal wife. There is no doubt about this.

The banquet lasted until late at night. Feng Shu, who was drunk, was helped back by Wei Shen and several young people. The inn was filled with dishes and cups, and it suddenly became deserted.

Gu Qing was also a little drunk. He accepted everyone who came tonight. He didn't remember how many glasses he drank. Although it was grape wine from the Western Regions and tasted like juice, the wine had a strong stamina. Gu Qing was already a little dazed and sat there blankly.

He didn't move at the table.

Huangfu Sisi had a good drinking capacity, but at this moment, she didn't know whether she was pretending to be drunk or really drunk. She lay softly on Gu Qing's shoulder, holding the cup and sipping lightly, her white and jade-like fingers slightly curled up, like a picture of a beautiful lady handed down from ancient times.

"Is the Marquis drunk? Can you have a few more drinks with me?" Huangfu Sisi breathed into Gu Qing's ear. Gu Qing's ears were itchy, and his mood couldn't help but become agitated, like an out-of-control wild horse.

He took off the reins and galloped wildly.

"I...can't drink anymore." Gu Qing shook his head. If he drinks any more, he will get really drunk. Han Jie and his guards are guarding the door of the inn. What if he gets drunk and is bullied by bad guys?

Just as he was about to get up and return to camp, Huangfu Sisi suddenly held his face with both hands and stared into his eyes affectionately and seriously.

Her appearance was reflected in his eyes, like a reflection in a pool of autumn water, swaying like a beauty on one side of the water.

"Let me go, I'm a little dizzy, I have to go back." Gu Qing tried to wake himself up.

Huangfu Sisi chuckled and said: "Master Hou, please don't move, you have rice grains on your mouth..."

"Is there any?" Gu Qing subconsciously touched his lips, but Huangfu Sisi held his hand down.

"Master Marquis, I'll help you clean up..." Huangfu Sisi came up to him with a red face, shy and timid, her lips suddenly came close to his lips, her fragrant tongue stretched out, and it moved from his lips briskly and dexterously.

passing by like.

Gu Qing was stunned and had no time to react. Her lips were completely attached to his lips, and they separated quickly in the blink of an eye.

"Okay, I have helped the Marquis clean up." Huangfu Sisi's face became more and more rosy, she covered her face and ran into the backyard in shame.

Gu Qing was still sitting at the table blankly, with a look of shock on his face, and he suddenly woke up from the drunkenness.

Just now...were you molested?

How could this happen? Even though I tried to protect myself day and night, I still failed to protect myself. I was taken advantage of by accident.

The first kiss that I have saved up for two lifetimes, is in perfect condition, and has a thick vagina...

On the way back to the camp, Han Jie walked beside him, carefully supporting Gu Qing. Seeing Gu Qing's expression of sadness and anger, and his sloppy steps, Han Jie couldn't help but look at him worriedly.

"What's wrong, Lord Marquis? I was very happy at first, but why are I so sad and angry after the banquet? What happened in the inn just now?" Han Jie asked with concern.

Gu Qing ignored him, his mind kept buzzing, and he looked up at the night sky and sighed sadly.

"Han Jie, I suddenly miss Zhang Huaiyu so much..." Gu Qing said coldly.

Han Jie was stunned and said, "Should we send someone back to Chang'an to invite Miss Zhang to Anxi?"

Gu Qing shook his head. He was used to long-distance relationships, but...

The desert was desolate at night, and the hustle and bustle of the city could not make this desolate scenery cheerful.

Gu Qing suddenly lost his temper and roared facing the empty desert wilderness.
