In September, cattle and sheep have been fat and strong after half a year of grazing, and it is the time for beef and mutton in Gaoliu County to be the most delicious.
After more than four years of construction, Xiacheng has now been basically completed. Because of the perfect urban construction plan from the beginning and the [Mountain and River Map], Xiacheng now has distinct functions in various urban areas, canals and lakes can be seen everywhere, and buildings of various styles gather in Xiacheng, making the whole city look well-organized.
Hua Kai rode to the outside of Xiacheng and smiled when he saw the strange terrain in the city. This year, Hua Mo collected the terrain in the northeast of Xiacheng while transforming the terrain of Xiacheng. Because of the increasing population of Xiacheng, Hua Mo began to transform the terrain outside Xiacheng after expanding the scale of Xiacheng.
There is a mountain ridge several tens of meters high every kilometer, and all the mountains are of the same height and width, giving people a special sense of beauty. There is a flat land between the mountains, with a river flowing through the middle, and there are many houses and fields in the middle. Xiacheng has begun to build farmland outside the city.
In recent years, due to the Central Plains War, the amount of food available for purchase has become less and less. The food produced by Huajiabao cannot even meet the needs of Gaoliu City. The staple food of Gaoliu County has changed from wheat and rice to meat, but the people who fled from the south still feel at ease with farming, so Hua Mo built hundreds of villages outside Xiacheng. Because of the protection of mountains and moats, they don't even need to build village walls.
Entering Xiacheng is the downtown area. The shops on both sides of the street are much taller than those in Gaoliu County, and many buildings are more than 5 stories high. Moreover, the main street is about 14 meters wide, and there are all kinds of trees on both sides of the street, which looks very lush.
There are pedestrians everywhere in front of the shops, and the streets are full of carriages. Many young and beautiful women are strolling in groups. Some young men watch from a distance and approach them when they have the chance. The Xiacheng blind date meeting is about to begin.
Hua Kai passed through three blocks and felt three different styles. This kind of enjoyment is probably only available in Xiacheng. After crossing the inner city river, he came to the inner city. Only members of the Hua family can enter here. When he arrived in the city, Hua Kai saw that the houses here were much taller and larger than last year, and the area seemed to be larger than last year.
"I have seen my husband!" As soon as Hua Kai arrived at the inner courtyard, he saw Qi Qi Ge and Hua Qiao'er waiting at the gate of the palace. The largest palace complex in this courtyard was built for Hua Kai, and his concubine Hua Qiao'er was responsible for it in Xiacheng.
"Both of you get up! Are you used to living here?" Hua Kai walked to the two of them, and Qi Qi Ge and Hua Qiao'er took his arms on the left and right.
Since being taken to Hua Kai's room, their identities have changed suddenly. As Hua Kai's future concubines, even all the Hua family's side branches will bow their heads and salute them. Although they know that the respect is for Hua Kai, how can this not make people happy.
Especially all the maids, everyone was respectful to them, and no servant dared to look at them directly. In the past few days in Xiacheng, they felt the majesty of being the family of Princess Gaoliu.
"It's fine! My husband, you have arranged the blind date meeting. I will let the servants do it. I will chat with the Yanping sisters these days." Qiqige said with a blush.
This time when she came to Xiacheng, she saw the prosperity here. If it weren't for Hua Qiaoer, she would not be able to finish walking around the streets every day after dark. As a result, the people of the whole Xiacheng came to watch Hua Kai's concubines, and things were very lively.
"Well, you can walk around more when you have time. If a woman from aristocratic family invites you to be a guest, you can also go shopping. Our Hua family is not high above, and the direct descendants of the Hua family are also one of the people." Hua Kai said.
Except for Qiqige, his wives and concubines are all above the Xiantian realm, and they have the ability to protect themselves. It is Hua Kai's requirement for them to understand the lives of the people and participate in the activities of the people.
"I know whether my husband needs to eat or not. The snacks in Xiacheng are unique. I'll have someone buy some back." Qiqige is the most lively and cheerful. She wanted to recommend the snacks in Xiacheng to Huakai after eating them.
"No, the changes here are really fast. When I came here last year, there were not so many palaces here. Where is my study? Knowing the news that I came to Xiacheng, I guess some noble families will come here soon." Huakai and the two women said as they entered the palace.
It's okay not to eat in the foundation building stage. Huakai usually rewards his taste buds in his three days of leisure. The snacks in Xiacheng are basically made by Huakai and Hua Mo, so Huakai doesn't find it strange.
Hua Qiaoer just gently held Huakai's arm. She blushed and looked at Qiqige. Qiqige basically leaned on Huakai, with her head on his shoulder, and looked at Huakai with a slightly red face.
The maids looked at the two with envy. Hua Kai treated the eight concubines he had just taken in very well. This had long been known among the maids of the Hua family. Hua Kai would not blame Qi Qi Ge for such impolite behavior.
"Okay, Hua Mo is here!" Hua Kai felt that there was an outsider in the palace and said to Qi Qi Ge.
Soon a maid came to report that Hua Mo had arrived with his two wives, and Hua Kai asked someone to invite Hua Mo in.
"Hello, brother, two sisters-in-law!" Hua Mo saluted. He had been responsible for the growth of the entire Xiacheng in the past few years.
"Hello, brother, sisters-in-law!" Yan Ping and her sister also asked Hua Kai and the other two.
"Family members don't need to be polite, come in!" Hua Kai said as he walked towards the study. Hua Qiao'er was the oldest and had stayed in the Hua family the longest. She saw that Hua Kai and Hua Mo had something to talk about, so she invited Yan Ping and her sister to the garden to enjoy.
"Sister Qiao'er, I heard that the head of the family came to Xiacheng this time because many core members of the family are going to participate in the blind date conference this year, right!" Yan Lu was young and came to the garden to say to Hua Qiao'er.
"Well! This year, my husband has issued a strong order to all the unmarried important members of the Hua family. All unmarried people over 20 years old must participate in this blind date meeting, including all the people in the Hua family's ten young masters." Hua Qiaoer said.
"My husband is the Hua family's ten young masters. I heard that the most powerful young generation of the Hua family is the Hua family's ten young masters." Yan Lu said.
"Your husband has not yet successfully established his foundation. Xue Chen, one of the Hua family's ten young masters, that is, Sister Yi Yu's younger brother, has already established the third level of foundation! All the Hua family's foundation-building realms have the possibility of becoming a monarch." Qi Qi Ge spoke bluntly, and Yan Lu was a little unhappy when he heard it.
"My husband is the leader of the Hua family's ten young masters. How can he be inferior to Xue Chen? He took the [Heavenly Fire Body Forging Pill] given by the head of the family, so he was one step ahead of my husband in cultivation. Besides, my husband's foundation-building is about to succeed!" Yan Lu is two years younger than Qi Qi Ge. In his heart, his husband is the best in the world.
"Lu'er, how can you talk to sister Qiqige like this? Our husband has already established his foundation later than Dean Xue Chen..." Yan Ping said, Yan Lu looked a little unhappy, and Hua Qiaoer spoke at this time.
"Don't mind, my two sisters, the Gaoliu County founding formation has already started this month, and the founding country is called Huaxia. My husband is in Huacheng, and the city lord Hua Mo is in Xiacheng. Both of them are the sons of destiny and the most noble people in the future Huaxia country. How can others compare!" Hua Qiaoer said this, and everyone liked it in their hearts.
"Sister, you are right. There are more and more young men and women in the city these days. Someone from the Yan family sent a message a few days ago saying that my brother from my mother's family also wants to participate. I wonder if he can sign up?" Yan Ping looked at Hua Qiaoer and said.
"You have to ask sister Qiqige about this matter. Among all the sisters, my husband loves Qiqige the most and gave her the responsibility of the blind date meeting." Hua Qiaoer said with a smile.
"No, I took the initiative myself... My husband said that as long as the family is clean, anyone can sign up if they want to be a wife and husband. But if you want to take a concubine, you must be a direct descendant of a noble family, and there must be no more than three concubines in the family.
According to the data sent by various cities, the number of applicants has exceeded 40,000, including 13,000 men and 27,000 women, including civilians, scholars, craftsmen, children of noble families, and even monarchs. The oldest civilian is 58 years old, the oldest is 161 years old in the Xiantian realm, and the oldest is 317 years old in the foundation-building realm. Your brother from your mother's family should hurry up to sign up, and then I will introduce you to some beautiful sisters in the Huafu!" Qiqige said proudly.
"Cough... cough..." Hua Qiaoer coughed hurriedly, reminding Qiqige to be careful with her words, as a future princess, she must be careful with her words.
As they said, Hua Kai and Hua Mo came out of the study. The four of them saw them coming and stood up straight.
"We are all family members, there is no need to be so restrained. Why do you have a stern face when you are young? We are going to the Baijia Academy. Do you want to go?" Hua Kai said.
"I want to go!" Qiqige stood up and shouted, completely losing his solemn look.
"I want to go too!" Yan Lu looked at Hua Mo and shouted loudly.
Hua Qiaoer and Yan Ping looked at their husbands without saying anything. They learned how to obey their husbands and how to manage family members and relationships. As the women of the Hua family, they should not appear in places like the academy with their husbands.
"Let's go together!" Hua Kai glanced at Hua Qiaoer, who nodded slightly and walked over. Yan Ping also came to Hua Mo.
After leaving the palace, a maid called two carriages. The inner city was more than ten miles away from the Baijia Academy. The Baijia Academy is located in the eastern part of Xiacheng, occupying about 10% of the land in Xiacheng, which is larger than a large urban area in Xiacheng.
When they arrived at the Baijia Academy, there was a huge stone sculpture at the gate of the academy. The stone sculpture depicted Hua Kai standing on the ground, holding the original "Journey to the West" in one hand and writing with a pen in the other.
Qiqige looked at the statue outside through the car window, happy as if he had eaten honey.
"What are you laughing at?" Hua Kai asked with a smile when he saw Qi Qi Ge.
"I think you look so handsome when you hold the book "Journey to the West", but I think he is not as handsome as you are now!" Qi Qi Ge said, grabbing Hua Kai's hand and leaning on him.
"Haha, you are naughty!" Hua Kai said and touched Qi Qi Ge's head with a smile. Qi Qi Ge and Wu Ren Tu Ya have a lot in common, that is, everything they do seems very natural, which is a complete portrayal of their inner feelings. They are not completely bound by the framework of traditional customs. They say what they should say and do what they should do. They can live out themselves, which is what Hua Kai hopes to see most.
