Chapter 61
The next day, after Shen Jian left, Yan sent someone to invite Shen Wen to have tea. Shen Wen took Su Wanniang to the yard. Although Yan, who came to meet them, smiled, his eyes were swollen and there was blush under his eyes.
Yan's yard is stricter than his own. Shen Wen joked: "Second sister-in-law is starting to cry now, so I won't cry for a few months."
Since last night, the Yan family has not dared to be as presumptuous as before, fearing that the people he brought with him will be apostasy, so he took Shen Wen's hand without answering, and walked towards the main house.
Shen Wen was surprised that Yan, who was always smiling, didn't say anything, so he didn't want to joke anymore, and silently followed Yan into the house.
Yan's wink at the crucian carp, the crucian nodded solemnly, and walked out the door to guard the outside. Yan said to Su Wanniang: "Close the door." Su Wanniang closed the door in response, and Shen Wencai asked, "What happened? "
undefinedYan's face turned blue, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Last night, your second brother and I went to listen to the wall. That Wang Zhi was going to stabb your second brother in the back!" Although she cried for a long time yesterday, that's all. The eyes were still red, and he clenched a fist and said, "Your second brother said that Lord Hou saved his life! Your second brother also promised his marriage! This vicious thief! Really not a human!"
Su Wanniang at the door turned her head and said to Shen Wen: "Miss, look, he didn't get better after marrying Xia Zi, so she said he was not a good thing!"
Yan Shi said to Shen Wen: "I wanted to follow your second brother to the border right now, but he said that he can't go now, he wants to go with you, you are sure you can get away then and walk away."
Shen Wen was taken aback for a moment. It sounded like her second brother had entrusted Yan to herself. She asked suspiciously: "Second brother said so."
Yan nodded firmly: "He said it! Otherwise I will pretend to be a small servant and leave with him in June!"
Shen Wen understood that this was Shen Jian's procrastination, probably because he was afraid that Yan did what he said. But she didn't expect that the Yan family had distorted Shen Jian's true intentions a long time ago, so she had to say, "Then I will take my second wife with me."
Yan's sigh let out a sigh of relief--this matter is considered fulfilled! But then he sighed: "You are only fourteen years old in two years. What can I do in the past two years!"
Shen Wen also knows that Yan's family is very uncontrollable. If she doesn't comfort her, she will run away from home one day. She hurriedly took Yan's arm and said stickily, "Second sister, there is something else to do. I did. I was thinking about how to ask you for help..."
Yan pulled away Shen Wen's hand impatiently: "Say quickly! Don't do it!"
Shen Wen looked at Su Wanniang: "Is this because I grew up no one has eaten this set"
Su Wanniang smiled: "Yes, Miss can't be so coquettish anymore."
Yan frowned: "It's not that you should not be so coquettish, that is, you can only come to this set with men in the future, and women are fine. Hurry up and talk about what you are going to do. I am in a hurry, last night and night. I'm always thinking about how to stabb Wang Zhi's back with a knife. If you don't quickly let me do something else, I might do it in my dream one day!"
Shen Wen sighed, let go, and said to Yan Shi: "I originally wanted to ask my second wife to ask if I could open a wine kiln in the place I mentioned."
Yan hurriedly said: "My third uncle is a wine maker, so naturally."
Shen Wen said: "My wine kiln must be opened in this place." Before arriving at the copywriter, Shen Wen sharpened his pen, wrote a detailed address, and drew a detailed topographic map, saying, "This place There is no shop in front of the village, but on the side of the mountain..."
Yan's head tilted: "The third uncle and the third sister-in-law often talk to me about winemaking. In that area, it seems that the water source is not sweet, and the wine made is not necessarily delicious..."
Shen Wen shook his head: "I don't care whether it tastes good or not, but the **** is strong and very pure. You invite your third uncles and sisters to the capital, I will tell them how to make this wine, you don't have to worry about the money..."
Yan said: "Okay, I will write a letter, if necessary, I can use my dowry."
Shen Wen laughed: "Leave the second wife's dowry. Marry into the house of the first military commander in the DPRK, but you have to stick your dowry upside down to defend your husband. If this is passed on, what face is there in our family?"
Yan's irritability became again: "You don't want to be silly now! That's my husband. I feel sorry for him for a long time because he has a green body in martial arts. If something happens, can I live! I think he will... Going crazy soon!"
Shen Wenxin said that you are already a little bit, but quickly said: "Okay, I understand Ersao. Then, I will draw you a topographic map of the border. Take a good look. Maybe you can help your second brother think about it in the future. The strategy of retreating from the enemy." Yan Shi is good at gaming. Since she is going to the border to guard Shen Jian, she simply goes to help Shen Jian.
Yan was happy: "Great! You paint quickly!" ran over to help spread the paper.
Shen Wen put together nine pieces of rice paper, and Su Wanniang took the needle and thread and sewed the paper together. The three moved the tables and chairs away, Yan Shi took turns studying ink on the two inkstone platforms, Su Wanniang was holding ink, Shen Wen only wore socks, and slowly began to draw frames on the ground. The mountains and rivers at the border, the distribution of roads, the villages and towns... This is the place where she has wandered repeatedly for hundreds of years! Shen Wen sometimes drew and shed tears. It took two hours to draw a big picture.
Yan Shi and Su Wanniang did not dare to speak. Fang felt that Shen Wen was indeed too weird at this time: how could a young girl who had never been out of the capital draw the mountains and rivers, and even the people who lived there did not have this kind of perspective. It is impossible to draw this kind of topographical map unless it is a person who has traveled through the mountains and rivers there many times.
The two exchanged their eyes in horror, but seeing Shen Wen's tears, it was like seeing a deep sadness, and didn't want to say anything.
Looking at the sky in the afternoon, Shen Wen said: "I will paint again tomorrow."
Yan nodded, and did not dare to ask anything, Shen Wen and Su Wanniang left and returned to the hospital.
Su Wanniang and Shen Wen returned to the room. Su Wanniang asked, "Do you have anything to tell me, Miss?"
Shen Wen sighed and said tiredly to Su Wanniang: "I saw so many things in my dream, so I went to the Palace of the King of Hades to call for injustice..."
She told Su Wanniang what she had said to Shen Jian and Shen Zhuo, but still did not dare to say that she was a ghost rebirth, for fear of frightening Su Wanniang, she would no longer be close to herself. But why did she dare to tell the truth to Zhang Yunzheng must be because she didn't care if the little **** was afraid of herself, yes, she wished he was afraid of herself!
Su Wanniang listened, although she didn't fully believe it, but she couldn't explain why Shen Wen knew so much. She could only accept Shen Wen's explanation.
On Shen Jian's side, Shen Jian was also looking at the topographic map and said to Yan Shi: "... She said that she had arrived in the underworld, calling for grievances for my family and thousands of creatures, and Yan Wang allowed her to read through the Millennium Military Book..."
The Yan family will be suspicious, but now no matter who, even if it is a monster, as long as she can save her husband, she will rely on it, and she will no longer go into it.
In the next few days, Shen Wen went to Yan's courtyard every day, from morning to night, until he drew a complete and detailed topographic map of the border for Yan. Yan bought fine white silk. She hated embroidery the most, but it took the remaining months to embroider this topographic map on a large silk silk stitch by stitch, all in her heart.
Zhang Yunming went to Guanyi Pavilion for several days before meeting the four princes who came to Guanyi.
The four princes now have learning tasks, so they can't come to watch Yige every day. Although they went to school together, the three princes did not do their homework at all. Every time Master Jian leaves, the four princes must quickly read through the relevant content in twenty or thirty books designated by the master, and then write a strategy and theory for the three princes, and strive to be grandiose and plain, and they must conform to the personality of the three princes. And the tone, there must be something to say. After giving the draft to the three princes to copy, write another one by himself, taking a different approach and saying some strange things, but they are all slightly inferior to that of the three princes.
Old Master Jian was very satisfied with these two students. He said to Ye Zhongshu who came to visit: "The three princes are sincere and straightforward, and they have broad-minded and unobtrusive essays. They are indeed a child who should not be suspended from school. The four princes often The words are astonishing, but the words are still a bit naive."
The "childish" four princes seized the opportunity to sit in Guanyi Pavilion. He knew that he would not see anyone sitting here, but this habit had already formed. He came here as if he could float out of the water. Tone.
When Zhang Yunming saw the Fourth Prince sitting in the corner where he usually sits again, he smiled and walked over to see him: "It's been a long time since Gongzi Jiang."
The four princes also smiled at Zhang Yunming: "Yes, I haven't seen Grandpa Zhang here for a long time." Zhang Yunming avoided for more than half a year, no one in the capital knew.
Zhang Yunming didn't have any sense of shyness, and sat in front of the fourth prince: "It's finally hard to meet, then how about talking with the son?
The fourth prince said casually: "I have no objection." You can't win anyway.
He calmly began to play chess with Zhang Yunming on the surface, but he could understand: Zhang Yunming came out alive again. Are you afraid of marrying the fourth princess? I want to come because he heard the wind that the emperor in the palace would not point to marriage. Ping Yuan Hou There are a lot of eyes and ears, it seems that he is not a completely idle Hou Ye...
The chessboard was placed for the most part, and when he was fighting for a spot, Zhang Yunming whispered: "When will the son come next time someone wants to see the son."
The four princes stopped for a long time without putting down the chess pieces in their two fingers. Zhang Yunming bitterly hates: Why are you so cautious and hurry up! Better to make a mistake...
For a moment, the four princes felt that Zhang Yunming was talking about Su Wanniang, but then they felt unreasonable: How could the grandpa Zhang contact Su Wanniang of Zhenbeihou? Is it possible that the player behind the scenes is Pingyuanhou? It doesn't make sense: How can Pingyuanhou persuade Miss Shen Er pretended to be dead. The person behind the scenes must be in the Zhenbei Hou Mansion, but how did you involve Zhang Yunming? Maybe the person you want to meet is on another road...
After thinking about it for a long time, the fourth prince slowly said: "Seven days later." After speaking, he put down the flag that had been parked in the air for a long time.
Zhang Yunming obviously had a frustrated expression, but he immediately took another move with a smile and said: "Young Master Jiang has a profound mind, he does not leak water, and his chess skills are superb. I really admire and admire him."
The four princes smiled and said: "Daddy Zhang is well versed in the way of killing. He is humble when he wins, and he is strong when he loses. I have to study hard."
Zhang Yunming inhaled: "Young Master Jiang is really getting better and better."
The four princes shook their heads: "Probably it was the great Master Zhang who had left the capital for a long time, and had lost his chess skills.
Zhang Yunming smiled cheeky and continued to play chess.
This round was Zhang Yunming's defeat again. He still smiled and said goodbye to the four princes as before, with a casual look, but when he returned to the mansion, he went to level Yuanhou and said: "Father, I have played against the four princes for a long time. He has never beaten it once. Looking at it today, he has deepened his chess skills."
Ping Yuanhou turned the walnut ball and said: "He is a lame man, he doesn't necessarily have any thoughts of fighting for position."
Zhang Yunming tentatively said: "Maybe, he will help the third prince..."
Ping Yuanhou shook his head: "The mother of the three princes is dead, and his mother's family is not prominent. He doesn't even have a staff member now. He obviously doesn't want to fight for a position. At most, he wants a fief." He looked at Zhang Yunming sternly: "Don't interfere. And these things! It will kill the door!"
Zhang Yunming said that even if he didn't mix, he would kill the door. However, he knew that his father was suspicious and cautious, and he would definitely not believe the nonsense of those younger brothers "opened the sky" and Miss Shen Er "saw it in his dream", so he decided to toss in the dark first, and one day it was exposed. Just follow along. Mong promised to answer Ping Yuanhou's words, left, went to see Zhang Yunzheng, and talked about his meeting.
When it came time to meet Zhang Yunming, Shen Wen slept well in the afternoon and almost missed dinner.
When we hurried to the restaurant, everyone was already seated, but no one cared that Shen Wen was late, because Shen Qiang attracted attention.
Shen Qiang didn't want to sit on a chair, he must stand by the table. Yang was angry with him and always wanted to press him on the chair. Shen Qiang jumped off the chair again and again to stand, yelling.
The old lady wanted to protect Shen Qiang, but it was the rule to sit and eat. She ignored the reason, and watched Yang and Shen Qiang's battle very nervously, lest Shen Qiang would suffer.
Liu's eldest son, Shen Wei, is a little sweet bean. With his small eyes rolled, he said loudly: "My uncle is going to stand, grandma is going to leave him alone, he is angry! Look, great grandmother doesn't care about him..."
The Liu family who served food at the table heard his son provoking the relationship between mother-in-law and mother-in-law Zeng, and was so frightened that he whispered to Shen Wei, "Don't talk while eating!"
Everyone now knows that Shen Qiang must be a handicapped child - even Shen Wei has a lot of words, but Shen Qiang can only say the word "ah".
When Shen Qiang saw that Shen Wei was being reprimanded, he immediately turned his head and yelled at Liu clan. Yang clan finally found an excuse and hit him on the head: "I dare to call your sister-in-law."
Shen Wei said hurriedly: "Grandma can't beat my uncle! My sister said, if you beat him, he will beat us."
Everyone laughed, and the old lady chuckled, "Listen, listen, don't be strong!" Yang's angrily.
Shen Qiang did not smile, covered his head, frowned and pouted at Yang's. Yang thought that he was almost dead and his heart softened again, so he had to reach out and touch the top of Shen Qiang's head and said, "Okay, mother. I hit you."
Shen Qiang opened his brows and screamed again. The hand gestured, especially excited. Everyone was puzzled. Yang sighed, "Probably I want dried fruits..."
Before the words fell, Shen Qiang's cries doubled, and Shen Wei also shouted: "I want it too! It's delicious! I want it too!"
The Liu family hurriedly covered Shen Wei's mouth: "Where can I call it that way! Don't talk while eating! I taught you nothing."
Yang felt that she was ridiculing her lack of education towards Shen Qiang, and said a little bit annoyingly: "Children, just say a few words." She said to Shen Wen and Shen Xiang, "You are from Ping Yuan Hou. The dried fruit brought back by the mansion, don't you leave some with me? I just took a bite. Wei'er and Jin'er ate a few slices by themselves. Most of the others were eaten by Qiang'er, and then they kept screaming and screaming. "
Shen Wen said bitterly: "I have eaten all my dried fruits."
Shen Xiang also sighed: "I didn't eat much of the rest, but it was divided among the few people in Chunlu. I had known my brother and they liked it, I wouldn't take it back to the yard, just stay here with my mother."
The old lady covered her face and said, "Oh, fortunately you didn't do that much, so you dare not eat those things! Your teeth will hurt when you get old!"
Yang said to Shen Qiang: "Have you heard! Grandma said that he can't eat!"
She thought Shen Qiang would resist, but Shen Qiang stopped shouting immediately, looked at the old lady, and honestly grabbed the cake with his hands.
The old lady rejoiced in her heart and smiled and said, "What a good boy! Qiang'er is so good!"
Yang cried secretly: Shen Qiang just listened to the old lady! He said sourly: "Qiang'er is usually horrible, but his mother always says he is good! I think he is used to it!"
The old lady disagrees: "Of course Qiang'er is good. Come, come to grandma, and I will give you some meat."
Yang frowned: "Mother, let him eat by himself! Learn to use chopsticks, you see, Weier already uses chopsticks."
The old lady clamped a large piece of meat into Shen Qiang's mouth and said, "It's okay. Grandmother feeds first. Don't be hungry and Qiang'er. We are growing up. People are different from people. Qiang'er learns slowly. , No hurry, grandma, I... uh... only learned to use chopsticks when I was a teenager..."
When everyone heard that the old lady was so partial, they all tried their best to endure a laugh. Only Yang was a little upset, thinking that the old lady was hindering her education of Shen Qiang.
Shen Wen and Su Wanniang came back from the main hall, and as soon as they entered the courtyard, they saw Xia Zigang coming out of Shen Wen's house.
Su Wanniang immediately said sternly: "Wang Zhi's, what are you going to do in Miss's room"
Xia Zi hurriedly smiled and saluted and said, "They washed their clothes. Xia Lan, Xia Qing and the others happened to be away. I looked at no one to send it to the lady, so I helped."
Shen Wen smiled and said, "Thank you Wang Zhi's family for that."
Xia Zi hates how others call her "Wang Zhi's family", and smiles reluctantly: "Miss is going to the second son's place every day these days, why are you busy?"
Shen Wen sighed: "Second brother is going to the border gate. Second sister-in-law is in a bad mood. When the second brother is away, I have to accompany him. The first-in-law has to watch the two children, and the sister is practicing martial arts every day, and they can't get there." She looked at Xia Zi sympathetically: "Your husband is going to the border too, are you sad?"
Xia Zi was anxious that the hillbilly would leave quickly. She didn't have to smell his stinky feet every day, but she still had to pretend to be sad and said, "Of course..." He turned his face and walked away quickly.
Two people entered the house, Su Wanniang took a sip, hurriedly took the key, and went to open the cash box. After counting the money, he said, "The money is not less, but she drove it, and my hair stuck to the outside broke."
Shen Wen touched the booklet in his arms, and said, "I have to return the things. I really can't leave anything here."
Su Wanniang packed the food box again, and at night, Shen Wen went to the dark room with her back on her back. When we got to the dark room, there were already lights inside. Shen Wen threw a stone on the door first, Zhang Yunzheng came to open the door, Shen Wen didn't look at Zhang Yunzheng, stood up hard, and walked on tiptoe, trying to make himself appear a little higher and enter the house.
The room was obviously cleaner than last time, the floor and walls were cleaned, and there were simple furniture. Sitting on the edge of Zhuo, Zhang Yunming nodded to Shen Wen and said, "Three days later, the four princes will be in Guanyi Pavilion. Do you want me to accompany you?"
Shen Wen shook her head and said: "I won't go, someone else will go." She unloaded the package and put it on the table, took out the book from her arms and handed it to him, smiling and saying, "Thank you for thinking about me. I've read it two or three times, and I'm almost memorizing it. Someday I will visit these places when I go to the south."
Zhang Yunming glanced at Zhang Yunzheng, and smirked at Shen Wen: "Then why do you still keep it for me?"
Zhang Yunzheng viciously kicked a chair to the side with a bang.
Shen Wen glared at him inexplicably, and said to Zhang Yunming: "I have to carry it every day these days. I can't put anything there. There is an eyeliner who always searches for things when we are away, even opening the money box. This is not the book I usually put out, so I should return it to you."
Zhang Yunming took the book, and said strangely: "You are so precious to this book--"
Zhang Yunzheng kicked another chair vigorously. He had kicked the two chairs from one side to the other, and there was only one chair left. Shen Wen immediately sat on the remaining chair and asked Zhang Yunming, "What happened to you today, have your eyes cramped?"
Zhang Yunming glanced at Zhang Yunzheng again, smiled and said to Shen Wen: "My eyes are okay, I'm afraid I told you who wrote this book, your eyes are going to cramp!"
Shen Wen asked vigilantly: "Who wrote it?"
Zhang Yunzheng immediately said in a malicious voice: "Can you control it! You are so clumsy! She is not the only one with eyeliner by her side!"
Shen Wen immediately scolded back: "You are stupid! Of course, you can't except her, I will count on her to deliver news in the future!"
Zhang Yunming immediately finished the round: "Okay, okay! Can you guys not quarrel? Here paper and pen are ready. Didn't you say that you want to draw a secret room picture? Go ahead and draw it."
Zhang Yunzheng provoked again: "She can still draw pictures"
Shen Wen rolled his eyes at him: "It must be better than your painting!"
In the millennia, she used to use her consciousness to urge animation pens. Now she can use her hands, which is naturally much easier. In addition, she has been drawing pictures these days. She is very familiar with ink. With just a few strokes, she can adjust the size of the secret room and the location of the escape exit. , The zigzag wall to reduce light leakage, etc. are painted clearly.
After the painting was finished, Shen Wen explained to Zhang Yunming: "The turning here is to keep the light inside from showing. The disconnection here is for air circulation. There is a hole here, so that you can escape out in case something happens... ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh , The last time you wrote to me, the time used plum blossom seal characters, my sister Wanniang can read it, and I will recognize the numbers, so it is inevitable that others can see it. I will give you a string of numbers, and in the future, you will write it like this ..." She wrote Arabic numerals, "So write the month, day and hour, so let's divide our hour into twenty-four o'clock..."
Zhang Yunming waited for Shen Wen to finish, shook his head and said, "I didn't expect Little Fat Duck to have this hand."
Shen Wen stared: "What did you say! Shouldn't it be a talented girl"
Zhang Yunzheng glanced at the picture and sneered: "What is so ugly and rough than what I painted! It's about the same as a talented girl, Xiao Chai Duck!"
Shen Wen said loudly: "Did I talk to you! Who cares about you!"
Zhang Yunzheng rolled his eyes: "I'm talking to Xiao Chai Duck, who cares about you!"
Shen Wen jumped again: "I don't want to talk to you! Go aside!"
Zhang Yunzheng is not modest at all: "Who wants to talk to you! Little liar! You just went aside!"
Shen Wen pointed to Zhang Yunzheng and said to Zhang Yunming, "You let him go!"
Zhang Yunzheng said: "This is the place my brother bought, and it is mine. Why should I go?"
Shen Wen said: "But this is where your brother bought me! I want to work here!" She asked Zhang Yunming, "You say! Who will leave!"
Zhang Yunming shook his head and recited: "I want to fish as much as I want, bear paws as I want, and those who give up fish and take bear paws..."
Shen Wen questioned Zhang Yunming: "Who is the fish and who is the bear's paw"
Zhang Yunzheng smiled contemptuously and said, "I won't stop you wherever you like. Anyway, you look like a bear's paw and fat like a fat-headed fish..." Since he came back from the south, his tongue has become more and more poisonous.
Shen Wen grew up so old and had never been bullied so much before, so he could only gritted his teeth and said to Zhang Yunming: "Bei Rong's envoy is about to enter Beijing!"
Zhang Yunming took out the fan and slapped it vigorously, and said to Zhang Yunzheng: "Respect the old and love the young!"
I thought that Zhang Yunzheng would argue, but Zhang Yunzheng laughed and said intermittently: "Isn't it... old... and young?"
Shen Wen stared at Zhang Yunming again with anger, and Zhang Yunming said to Shen Wen seemingly serious: "You also have to be considerate of... this... different person."
Shen Wen whispered: "What is different is a lunatic!"
Zhang Yunzheng replied: "Little devil!"
Zhang Yunming slapped the table: "None of you are allowed to talk! Otherwise I will sell this place tomorrow! You hear that I don't like it anyway!"
Shen Wen needed this place, so he had to shut up, and Zhang Yunzheng also snorted and stopped talking.
Zhang Yunming asked Shen Wen: "Tell me, Bei Rong's envoy is here, what are we going to do first?"
Shen Wen pouted and said: "What else can I do to listen to the wall feet!"
Zhang Yunming nodded and said, "Well, don't be lazy with the two of your family! They all have to go too!"
Shen Wen said: "Well, you take turns. But go ahead and talk about it. I usually try to get as little close to them as possible in the mansion. Many people are watching. I have to keep a low profile."
Zhang Yunzheng tweeted contemptuously again: "In my own house..."
In order to prevent the two of them from fighting again, Zhang Yunming said hurriedly: "We should communicate with each other and breathe at any time. Even if we don't meet each other, we have to write down some important points to the other side." He was afraid that Shen Jian would hear them. Don't tell him about Hefan.
Shen Wen immediately said: "What I wrote..."
Zhang Yunzheng interrupted again and said, "I know, I can't hide it with you! You can't even keep the money box, no wonder you have no money..."
Shen Wen pointed to Zhang Yunzheng and said to Zhang Yunming, "You give me a hit! Beat him!"
Zhang Yunming was a little worried: "Second Miss Shen, it is true that this is what I desire most these years..."
Zhang Yunzheng punched Zhang Yunming, and Zhang Yunming quickly drew away. The two started chasing back and forth in the empty room. Zhang Yunming said to Shen Wen while fighting: "Did you see it! Be content! He is good enough for you!"
Shen Wen said loudly, "Who wants him to be nice to me!" He left in a huff.
After Shen Wen left, the two brothers blew the lamp during the fight, and Zhang Yunming carried the package, and chased all the way back to Pingyuan Hou Mansion.
Entering the gate of the mansion, Zhang Yunming asked Zhang Yunzheng: "Why don't you let me tell her that it was a book you wrote? Didn't you keep arguing with her? When you say it then, she will lose at that time, and it will not happen for you. Tone"
Only then did Zhang Yunzheng understand that Zhang Yunming's giving the book to Shen Wen actually planted the fire of victory for himself. As long as he induces Shen Wen to say a compliment or two, and then reveals who wrote the book, Shen Wen will lose it at the time. Save face. It is sinister enough to scold myself as an older brother, obviously using himself to avenge Shen Wen's hatred for deceiving him before, saying: "Don't think I don't know what you are doing! You and her are half a catty, two liars! I am not fooled. ! I have to say it, I don't have to say it!"
Zhang Yunming made a cut: "I don't know good people!"
Zhang Yunzheng threw a fist: "You were not at ease!"
The two exchanged a few more fists and then went to sleep separately.
Ping Yuan Hou naturally waited until late at night, until someone came to report: "The two sons are back. The older son also carried a big parcel. It was almost the same as the one he carried out last time."
Ping Yuanhou asked people to retreat, and whispered: "These two bastards! More and more uneasy!" He blew the lamp and stood in the dark for a while: The two sons went out together like this, surely not. To play. Last time it was a gift, but this time I must have gone out to meet people. But why did the package come back again? Is it the same thing? They still communicated with each other. The two guys were carrying the gifts they were doing. He decided to pay attention to the movements of these two guys. You can't let it go. Rationale.
If Shen Wen knew that because he wanted dried fruit, Zhang Yunming would take it in a food box and bring it to himself. And just because of the food box that he brought with him, Ping Yuanhou was suspicious, and he didn't know how wrong he felt.
Shen Wen came back still feeling more angry, and said to Su Wanniang who was waiting: "You will see the fourth prince in three days."
Su Wanniang heard that Shen Wen's tone was wrong, and asked: "You are angry"
Shen Wen sighed: "The second son of the Zhang family is a bastard! Every time I meet, he always quarrels with me! Deliberately mad at me, say bad things about me or something."
Su Wanniang smiled, but immediately said with a serious face: "That is indeed a jerk!"
Shen Wen said: "I don't want to talk to him, but he always provokes me!"
Su Wanniang didn't dare to say her own opinion anymore, she could only pretend to be stupid: "Boys are like this, the lady just ignore him!" Can't encourage the lady to quarrel! There will be a problem!
Shen Wen was a little worried: "I don't want to talk to him either, but sometimes I can't control my mouth."
Su Wanniang was startled and looked at Shen Wen secretly. Shen Wen didn't seem to be aware of it in the dark. Su Wanniang is consciously older than Shen Wen and knows a lot more. She thought that Shen Wen was still less than twelve years old, and she was at an age of two little guesses, but she was self-defeating when she clicked it. She said, "Of course, I can ignore it, but don't let him take advantage of it."
Shen Wen vigorously drummed up fighting spirit: "Yes! Can't let him take advantage of it! Next time I will fight!"
Su Wanniang's heart sank, knowing that she couldn't say more, she hurriedly changed the subject and said: "Oh, what we want to ask the fourth prince to talk about carefully, don't miss anything."
The two murmured what they needed before they fell asleep.
On that day, Su Wanniang said that she would go to see her younger brother who lives in Shi Helin's place and ask for leave to leave the house. She looks so pretty, she wears a hat when she goes abroad. Shen Zhuo said that he was going to Guan Yi Pavilion, so he sent her a paragraph first.
When they arrived at Guanyi Pavilion, Shen Zhuo and Su Wanniang got out of the car. Su Wanniang said goodbye and walked slowly into the streets. Shen Zhuo entered the Guanyi Pavilion.
The four princes in plain clothes sitting in the corner saw Shen Zhuo walking towards him, and their heart began to beat-if someone from the Hou Mansion in Zhenbei was looking for him, would there be a chance to see Su Wanniang!
Shen Zhuo smiled and sat next to the fourth prince and greeted loudly: "Jiang Zi is fine."
The fourth prince also nodded and smiled: "Shen's third son is good."
Shen Zhuo looked at the embroidered pattern on the placket of the four princes intently: "Is this the auspicious group character, so exquisite!" In a low voice, "Is the accompanying person reliable?"
The fourth prince gave a hum. He knew that he was going to see people today, so he only brought the servant Ding.
Shen Zhuo whispered again: "Leave Chunming Alley on the left of the front door and go south, the woman in blue." Then he said loudly again: "Today I may play chess with the son"
The fourth prince showed a regretful expression and said, "Unfortunately, I am about to leave. I'm so sorry, let's go another day."
Shen Zhuo also sighed, got up and went to find someone to invite chess.
The fourth prince was anxious, but he finished the tea in front of him slowly. He has only recalled some tastes now-Zhenbei Hou Mansion and Heping Yuanhou Mansion have united. If Mr. Zhang came to ask, and Mr. Shen came to arrange the meeting, then the person who wanted to meet must be the person under the latter in Houli, Zhenbei. Shen Zhuo said that she was a woman. If she could come to see him alone, she would definitely not be Miss Shen Er. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was Su Wanniang, but he was not too sure, lest he could not bear the disappointment if not.
Putting down the teacup, the four princes motioned to Ding Neiyi to help him get up, limped and walked out on a crutches. When Ding Nei helped him into the car, he whispered the place. The attendant Ding personally sat in the groom's seat and started to drive the carriage.
The four princes always come here, and the attendant Ding knows the path around Guanyi Pavilion. He first entered other alleys and turned a few turns before entering Chunming Alley. Just after walking for a while, I saw a woman wearing an ordinary blue dress and a drapery hat walking slowly by the side of the road.
Ding Nai waiter coughed, and the fourth prince looked at the curtain, his heart beating wildly. Su Wanniang just covered herself from head to toe, and he also recognized her gait and posture.
The carriage stopped beside Su Wanniang, and when she started again, there were no women walking on the side of the road.
Chapter 62
In the car, Su Wanniang, who was sitting on the side seat of the Fourth Prince, took off her hat. The four princes clutched the cushions next to their legs with both hands, and didn't dare to get out of anger-he hadn't seen Su Wanniang for a long time, let alone sitting together so close.
Su Wanniang didn't care about the embarrassment of the four princes. She was going to talk about a very important thing today. She didn't sleep well last night, and there was a layer of worry between her eyebrows.
After saluting the four princes, she said: "My master has no malice towards your highness. He just wants to ask your highness a few questions. Please answer them truthfully."
She used to call the four princes "Gongzi Jiang" or "Gongzi", but now she is called "His Royal Highness." There is obviously a kind of alienation and coldness. The four princes feel a little blocked, but thinking that the people behind Su Wanniang finally show their deeds to herself, somewhat Excited and politely said: "Okay, I will treat each other with sincerity."
Su Wanniang asked solemnly: "May I ask if your Royal Highness is interested in the throne"
undefinedThis sentence Su Wanniang said ordinary, but it is as heavy as Mount Tai.
The fourth prince was stunned for a moment, and felt a dim shadow waiting for her answer behind Su Wanniang. This shadow has forced the queen back, making the prince difficult, and let Zhenbeihoufu and Hepingyuanhoufu stand together. If he has that thought, will this shadow help himself? The four princes thought of Su Wanniang's words: "No malice." That is to say, if you don't help, you won't be restrained. But do you want to be emperor?
The fourth prince shook his head and said, "No, I don't want to."
Su Wanniang stared into the eyes of the four princes: "His Royal Highness, please don't lie. Many opportunities are fleeting."
This means that if you want to, the other party will help, but the fourth prince still shook his head: "No, I don't want to."
Su Wanniang did not avert her gaze, and attacked again: "The three princes have no intention of emperorship. If your Royal Highness is willing, my master will help you."
It really is like this! The fourth prince was satisfied that he had guessed correctly, he was secretly happy, his expression was particularly relaxed, and said with a slight smile: "Thank you for your master's importance, but I really don't want to."
Su Wanniang asked in a deep voice, "What does your Highness want to do?"
The four princes looked at Su Wanniang generously, and said frankly: "I want to guard the imperial tomb."
Su Wanniang was finally surprised and opened her beautiful eyes slightly: "Why?"
The fourth prince's face was a little red, unable to look directly at Su Wanniang's bright and clear eyes. He turned his gaze slightly, looked ahead and said slowly: "Because of that, I can have a courtyard on the field, with the sky and the sky outside the wall. Trees, not the high eaves of the palace. I can have a back garden where I can grow vegetables. I want to grow some beans. My mother said she used to grow it when she was young. In the front yard, I want to have a wisteria flower shelf. .My mother told me that she likes to walk under the wisteria flowers, and she can also put a chair and read underneath. I figured out the door of the room and opened the yard door to walk outside, maybe in the wilderness, maybe in the village Streets, it doesn't matter, as long as I don't need to go through more than 30 doors, I have to report my itinerary, and I have to come back before the key to the dark palace gate..."
Su Wanniang watched the face of the fourth prince gradually glowing with joy, and suddenly tears in her eyes were saddened.
The fourth prince continued: "I still want to marry someone I like, so I can take her hand and walk in the fields without pretending to be lame, and see how the earthworms get out of the soil in spring instead of on the stone road. Trampled. Look at the verdant summer, not the red tiles of the brick walls in the palace. Maybe in the autumn we can see the hares running across the fields, like those written in the poems. In the winter we can build a snowman together , Then burn charcoal in the house to make tea, look at the snow scene outside the window, talk casually, don't worry about someone outside hearing it..."
The fourth prince looked at Su Wanniang, saw a line of tears on her face, took out a handkerchief from her arms and handed it over, saying: "I still want to have a lot of friends, the second son and third son of the Shen family, the son of Zhang, the official of Bao, sir. Folks, don't worry about them being killed, just like I always worry about the safety of Ding's attendant. I can go to them to play chess at any time, I can go out with them in spring and summer, or go hunting-I told you, Do I know how to ride a horse in the past?"
Su Wanniang subconsciously took the handkerchief of the Fourth Prince, shook her head, but nodded again.
The fourth prince smiled slightly and said: "You must know that I can ride a horse, because my legs are..." He sighed, and then said, "I want many children, boys and girls. I don't know how to marry a concubine, no. I will let my child be broken because his biological mother wants to save his life. But even without a child, I will not marry a concubine. I will not let the person I like. When I get there, no one can be reunited..."
Su Wanniang covered her face with the fourth prince's handkerchief and cried. The fourth prince looked at Su Wanniang and asked in a low voice: "You said, do I want to be an emperor?"
Su Wanniang shook her head, sobbed and wiped her face. She looked at the four princes with tears and said, "My father was framed and died tragically in prison. I will not avenge my father and cannot rest assured. My master and I have settled for ten years. When the period expires, I will get revenge, so..." No matter how bold she is, she can't say the following, and her face blushes slightly.
The fourth prince nodded and smiled, and said: "Although I am guarding the tomb, I am still very rich and will not let..."
Su Wanniang raised her head and raised her eyebrows with a sturdy look. The fourth prince blushed and lowered her head to change her words: "I won't make my family's food bitter."
Su Wanniang held back a smile, listening to how she was begging for a relationship with a countryman.
A thought suddenly flashed in the fourth prince's mind, and he raised his head and asked, "You said your father died tragically... how did you know?" At the beginning, he asked Ding Neibu to investigate, but he only knew that Su Wanniang's father, accused of corruption, had died in prison.
Su Wanniang sighed slightly: "My master let people find out."
The fourth prince was just wondering: "Who can investigate..." He stopped suddenly, frowning at the thought of the Lantern Festival night, Su Wanniang followed Ji Wenzhao out of Guanyi Pavilion... Then she wept bitterly...
The fourth prince blurted out: "It's Ji Wenzhao!"
Su Wanniang nodded.
The four princes suddenly felt bright, and almost clapped their hands and said: What a move!
Ji Wenzhao is a national player. Such a person cannot persuade him, he can only draw his own conclusions. Su Wanniang's master asked him to investigate the unjust case of Su Wanniang's father. He must have found out the tragic death of Su Wanniang's father. A wise man will not be loyal to a cruel leader, so he is jealous and will not take refuge in the prince, and then arrange for him to retreat...
Ji Wenzhao must be extremely talented, and Su Wanniang's master has so painstakingly prevented the prince from getting him. And saving Su Wanniang into the house is the first step in this move! But that happened years ago...
The four princes looked at Su Wanniang carefully and asked, "Don't you think that your master used you?" They used you to divorce Prince Jiwen Showa.
Su Wanniang said: "I used Ji Wenzhao to find out my father's case, and I used this case to drive away Ji Wenzhao."
The fourth prince nodded hesitantly, and Su Wanniang said slowly: "At the beginning, we were kicked out of the house. Within a day, the sky collapsed. My brother was so young that he couldn't walk after walking for a long time. My mother was sick. Now, I was holding my brother and my mother, so that the earth would not work every day. When it got dark, we had nowhere to go. At that time, I really wanted to take them into the river and die. It's a hundred..."
The fourth prince frowned and said, "Girl..."
Su Wanniang smiled reluctantly, but there were tears in her eyes: "Later, I was robbed by people from the brothel, and seeing that I could not even be innocent, but I could not die. If I die, I will be sick. My mother and my little brother, they have no way to survive, and how much they have to suffer before they die! I really regretted at that time, why didn't I die together at the time, shouldn't be caught in the quagmire because of greed..."
The eyes of the four princes were moist, and Su Wanniang said with a serious face: "Although my mother is dead in the end, if my master does not save me from fire and water, not only will I be dead today, but my brother who is now alive may not be able to live. This Life-saving grace is not something that can be wiped out by'utilization'. My master didn't choose me at the beginning, he chose others to'utilize', and let me fall into the dust in Wanhualou. But she saved me and saved my family , Now that she used me, did she save us but owe me"
The four princes saluted: "A girl has the righteousness of a gentleman, I can't do it."
Su Wanniang also saluted and said: "The son must not complain about my recklessness, but these days, I always see those ungrateful people who are trying to murder the benefactor all day, and I feel uneasy in my heart."
The fourth prince said: "You must be your master's confidant." Even the spies around the master knows her identity.
Su Wanniang smiled and said: "This is natural, the master treats me righteously, and I am a person of great luck."
Compared with the tragic situation she just said, the four princes really couldn't agree with Su Wanniang's turning point, and asked: "How can you say that you have great luck?"
Su Wanniang said in a low voice: "My father should be the first prince to really remove him. He was not a prince at that time, so he didn't dare to be too public. He didn't remove all the family and children like he did after he canonized the prince. That's why we survived. Later, when I met my master, it was natural to rise to the sky in one step."
The four princes said that you are a maid, and sighed slightly: "How can you be considered ascend to the sky"
Su Wanniang thought for a while and said seriously: "I don't know how to say it, but I think it is very, very good: someone will always be with you, and you can discuss everything together and do it together. I feel very at ease in my heart. The owner is so smart, no matter how difficult it is, we will definitely be able to survive."
The four princes felt like being poured with a bucket of cold water in their minds. He clearly understood that he was looking for Su Wanniang to find this kind of feeling: a partner who advances and retreats with him! At the same time, I also saw the biggest obstacle to Su Wanniang's deepest heart-her master! Her master let Su Wanniang find her belonging and trust. If she wants to replace this central figure, she must do better. The fourth prince was secretly worried-he is trapped in the palace now, how can he help Su Wanniang? If he helped her master, would the effect be even greater...
At this moment, Su Wanniang said: "I have something to ask for this time."
The eyes of the fourth prince appeared immediately, and he almost immediately wanted to thank God. How could it be such a coincidence that there was a good thing to be delivered to the door?
Su Wanniang said: "I need the costume and headwear of the princess in the palace, and the clothes of the eunuch, which are taller than the prince. The clothes of the palace maid are for girls who are half a head shorter than me. And the royal curtains used for the carriage in the palace. "
The four princes thought about it and said: "The princess actually has no fixed clothes... who will wear it."
Su Wanniang said: "Me."
The fourth prince was overjoyed, his heart beat to the throat, barely maintaining a steady tone and said: "My mother's clothes and accessories should be fine."
Su Wanniang said: "It must be extravagant, so that people can be recognized as a royal princess."
The fourth prince nodded with excitement and repressed, "Don't worry, I will pick it for you. However, I have one condition."
Su Wanniang frowned and looked at the four princes, who met Su Wanniang's gaze: "I want to watch it on the spot!" This is another chess move. You can't miss a good show, and you can't miss seeing Su Wanniang in her mother's costume!
Su Wanniang thought about the plan that Shen Wen had mentioned, and said hesitantly: "At that time, you have to see if you can get out of the palace."
The fourth prince said: "If I can come out, I must go."
Su Wanniang frowned and said, "Okay, I'll go and ask her. When Bei Rong's envoy arrives, can you go to Guanyi Pavilion every day and let you know."
The four princes trembled again: Bei Rong's envoy! She hadn't heard the news at all, and her master had already known before anyone arrived.
The four princes agreed. After Su Wanniang explained the matter, she left. He took the handkerchief of the Fourth Prince in his hand, which was soiled by others, so it was naturally impossible to return it, so he put it in his sleeve.
The fourth prince asked Ding Nai waiter to park the car near Shi Helin's infirmary. Su Wanniang looked at no one around and got out of the car. The fourth prince watched from a distance as Su Wanniang wearing a hat came to the infirmary. Her younger brother ran out to pick her up and went in together before letting the attendant Ding Nei drive back to the palace.
The fourth prince smiled on the road, dizzy, as if drunk.
---------------------------------------
Su Wanniang returned to the mansion and recounted the conversation to Shen Wen at night.
Shen Wen remembered the inaction of the four princes in the previous life, and was not surprised, but asked Su Wanniang for verification: "Are you sure he doesn't want to be the emperor"
Su Wanniang firmly said: "I'm sure, he really doesn't want to. He is a person who likes to live freely."
Shen Wen sighed: "Who has nothing to do to want to be the emperor! You can't go shopping and buy something or go to a restaurant or something in your life, mountains, rivers and lakes can only be seen in books. Sacrificing so much happiness, so much desire for power To make up for it."
Su Wanniang also agreed: "Yes, according to his idea, guarding the imperial tomb is more comfortable than being an emperor."
Shen Wen asked in a low voice: "It seems that you like to guard the imperial tomb too"
Su Wanniang pushed Shen Wen: "Go! Go to sleep!" Amidst Shen Wen's laughter, Su Wanniang turned her back to Shen Wen, but a smile appeared on her face. She imagined that she and the four princes were walking hand in hand in the field, and hares ran over one by one, and the four princes dragged her to prevent her from chasing. In the dimness, those rabbits somehow became children. The distance smiled and beckoned...
---------------------------------------
At the beginning of the spring of March, the day when Bei Rong's envoys entered the capital, it was also the day when Zhang Yunming made a post asking Shen Er Gongzi and Shen San Gongzi to have lunch at Huanyin Pavilion, the highest restaurant in the capital.
Huanyinge is Li's business, with luxury and extravagance as the main theme. The buildings are decorated with carved columns and painted buildings, and silk carpets are spread on the floor of the door. The guys are neatly dressed and straight. The food served is all served in Yishui's Ru kiln porcelain. The cups, cups and trays are as creamy, luxurious and elegant, complementing the carefully prepared delicacies, and they are exquisite everywhere.
Zhang Yunming took Zhang Yunzheng to the door to greet Shen Jian and Shen Zhuo, and both parties saluted, and then Zhang Yunming led everyone to the private room on the second floor facing the street. Eight side dishes, a hip flask and four sets of bowls, chopsticks, cups and saucers have been placed on a marble table of the Eight Immortals on the table.
Zhang Yunming smiled and asked everyone to sit down. Zhang Yunzheng coldly sat down, making Shen Jian and Shen Zhuo look at each other, and felt that the "distant house brother" of Pingyuan Hou Mansion was better than Ping Yuan Hou's eldest son. Big, I don't know where it is sacred.
Many years ago, when Zhang Yunzheng went up to bump into Zhang Yunming at two lantern fairs, Shen Zhuo saw him. During the last spring outing, I didn't look so closely, but now everyone is sitting at a table. Shen Zhuoyue looks at Zhang Yunzheng more and more familiar, and can't help asking Zhang Yunming: "Did you two know each other before?"
Zhang Yunming immediately knew where the problem was, and said frankly: "I really don't want to hide it from you. We didn't know each other. We met on the street several times and looked at each other uncomfortably. We fought many times. The more we fought, the closer we found out later. It turned out to be someone with relatives, so I recognized it."
Zhang Yunzheng gave Zhang Yunming a contempt, and Zhang Yunming smiled calmly, without the embarrassment of lying, which reminded Zhang Yunzhen of another guy who cheated on the world.
Shen Zhuo was stunned-it seemed that it was indeed the one who hit him, but the two shook hands and rejoiced, and they became good brothers, so don't worry about the injustice.
Several people chatted a few polite words, and Zhang Yunming said to his little boy standing behind him: "Don't be stupid, there are guys here, take the two young men and have a good meal!"
Zhang Yunming's young man naturally understood what he meant, and immediately said to the young man who followed Shen Jian's Wang Zhi and Shen Zhuo: "Please come here."
Zhang Yunzheng's young man also helped persuade, and Shen Jian smiled and nodded and said, "It's hard to come here once, and taste the dishes here. Let's go down." Shen Zhuo waved as well, and all of them went down. The guys went for eight. A hot dish, Zhang Yunming gave a look, and the last guy who went out closed the door and guarded the door.
Just then Zhang Yunming said, "This is my mother's place. Many of the guys belong to my father. It should be Yanshi."
Shen Jian said in a loud voice, "No wonder, I think many of those guys seem to be skilled. Your father's men are naturally reliable."
Zhang Yunming smiled: "I don't think your little servant looks like a reliable one."
Shen Jian was surprised: "You can actually see it"
Zhang Yunzheng snorted coldly: "As soon as I entered the door, the eyes kept turning, and the fingers opened and closed how many times. The second son of Beihou, Tangtang Town, how did he choose such a close friend who was blind or stupid? He..." He suddenly remembered what Shen Wen had said, that her second brother was stabbed in the back by a rape. Instinctively, it should be this young man, and he was busy.
Shen Zhuo felt that Zhang Yunzheng's words were harsh, so he couldn't help but squinted at him. Zhang Yunming hurriedly said, "My brother speaks straight, you can't blame it."
Zhang Yunzheng frowned: "Is there anything to blame, isn't it that way"
Shen Jian smiled: "Indeed, you reminded me of this, maybe it saved my life. I won't blame you."
Zhang Yunming smiled and said, "It seems you know you are brave enough."
Shen Jian sighed: "There is no way. The person my father gave me can't be changed logically. If it is withdrawn, it will alarm the other side."
Zhang Yunzheng rolled his eyes: "Then you keep it."
Zhang Yunming pushed Zhang Yunzheng: "What are you doing here? Hurry up, everyone has a hard time getting together and have a good meal."
He handed a small bag to Shen Jian, Shen Jian took it, and put it in his arms. Zhang Yunming let the dishes while whispering: "If it is not enough, tell me."
Shen Jian was not the first to receive the money, and he whispered: "It should be enough." Zhang Yunming's shots were all more than 10,000, and the food was almost bought. These were mainly the money of the craftsman.
Zhang Yunming also said: "Beijing's envoy was here as soon as I heard it, and we have to take turns to eavesdrop."
Although Shen Jian didn't know Shen Wen's idea of fighting against Fan, Bei Rong was the enemy of Shen Jiajun in the future. This visit to Beijing must be the first contact with the prince. Naturally, he wanted to listen to it, so he immediately agreed.
Several young men and women began to eat, ate the main dishes and side dishes cleanly, making Zhang Yunming add four more dishes.
These people were full, and they were discussing in a whisper about how to take turns to wiretap and how to meet to exchange information. They heard a clamor outside: "The envoy of Beirong has entered the city!"
All four of them stood up and looked down at the window. On the long street in the distance, there was a line of flags.
The first was the sedan chair of the officials who greeted the envoys by the imperial court. Inside were the carriages and horses of the East Palace, followed by the horse team and carriages of the Beirong envoy.
Several people watched the royal yellow sedan pass by. Although they didn't speak, they felt helpless resentment in their hearts. In order not to attract attention, they waited for the people of their dynasty to pass before opening the window.
Shen Jian leaned against the window and looked at the North Army Horse team that was getting closer and said: "I heard that the leader of the team this time is Huolo, the second son of Tugu Khan."
Ever since he knew that Huo Luo might be with the fifth princess and Fan, Zhang Yunming went all out to investigate Huo Luo. He said: "Huo Luo is the second son of Tugu Khan. Tugu Khan has three sons, the eldest son is twenty, and he is married. A woman from his mother's tribe. Huolo is 18 years old and has yet to marry. The other son is still young, only thirteen years old. These two grown sons are exceptionally sturdy. Khan fought on the grassland, with a magnificent record and full of blood."
Slowly, Bei Rong's horse team came to the street under their eyes. Zhang Yunming pointed: "The leader with a rough golden hoop, should it be Fire Luo"
Shen Jian took a look and nodded in agreement: "It is the youngest of these people, but the most self-righteous, it should be him."
Shen Zhuo asked: "So far away, how do you know the golden hoop is rough"
Zhang Yunzheng and Zhang Yunming had a tacit understanding for many years, and sneered: "Then we need to ask who wears gold bands here are made for monkeys, can it be rough?" Several people laughed.
Huoluo has the face of a typical Bei Rong people, a flat face, small eyes with single eyelids, a wide chin, and a slightly covered lower lip. His complexion was tanned because of being away all year round. Although he was still young, because Tugu Khan had just won a battle before he came, Huo Luo personally killed more than 20 enemies in this battle, and felt that he was full of power and invincible.
He was rather annoyed when riding on the horse.
Outside the city, he was greeted by the prince of the Southern Dynasty.
After receiving the letter, the prince asked the emperor for his order, saying that he could go to the suburbs to meet him. The emperor originally thought that the other party was the son, so he should send his son to pick him up, but it should be the third prince, but he could send someone to ask, but the third prince couldn't say it! An excuse to go to school, can't miss homework. He still didn't know that this son looked sad every time he went to see the Master. This was obviously a shirk! Shameless things! The emperor was annoyed and could only agree to the prince to take someone to meet the envoy.
The interpreter of the envoy introduced his personnel to the officials of the East Palace in jerky Chinese. The prince looked down on Huo Luo's crude appearance of a barbarian, but he smiled politely on the surface.
When Huo Luo saw the pale-skinned prince of the Southern Dynasties, he also looked down: his eyes were black and soft, and he could get down on the ground with one punch. This kind of person would not survive on the battlefield. The emperor after the Southern Dynasty is like this. This country probably hasn't had a place for its uncles.
Both sides met with gifts and walked into the city together. The Northern Rong people are different from the Southern Dynasties. They shave one piece of hair, messy beards, breeches and short shirts, and they are dusty. As soon as they entered the city, they aroused the onlookers and pointers of many people.
Huo Luo rode on a horse and looked at the crowded Han people around. Most of them were thin and weak, thinking that if they had a long knife in their hands and cut them down, these people would not be able to stop them for hundreds of thousands! Thinking of this, he looked arrogant. Look at the prosperous market again. The streets are full of shops, the women who go back and forth wear pearl flowers, and many people wear scorpions. I deeply feel that this group of languishing southerners is really not worthy of occupying such a wealthy land! How sturdy the warriors of the Northern Rong, they are worthy of the rich territory! The cavalry he has led can easily smash this city and put it into the possession of the father!
He was getting closer and closer to the window of Zhang Yunming and others, so that his expression was clearly seen by the people upstairs.
Zhang Yunming smiled and said, "He probably thinks that the capital is a piece of soft cake, he can break it and eat it in his stomach."
Shen Jian shook his head and said, "I saw him like this, so I really want to beat him up!"
Zhang Yunzheng said coldly: "I'll do it! I must beat you harder than you."
Zhang Yunming chuckled: "My brother...cousin loves to fight very much."
As if feeling, Huo Luo raised his head and looked at them, Zhang Yunming blocked Zhang Yunzheng behind him, opened the folding fan in his hand, and watched Huo Luo fan slightly with a smile on his face. Shen Jian and Shen Zhuo also leaned on the side of the window with ease, looking at Huo Luo full of sarcasm.
Huo Luo felt that these people were particularly dazzling, dressed in gorgeous clothes and smiling presumptuously. His horses passed under the window, and he stared at them fiercely. This gaze carried the fierce intent of how many times he killed people, and he had frightened the enemies who fought with him on the battlefield. But those young people laughed almost at the same time.
Zhang Yunming closed the fan and pointed at Huo Luo, who was ten feet away under the window, and said, "He has a fierce light exposed, and he is probably angry."
Shen Zhuo followed the woman's voice and said, "Oh, it's scary! The slave family is so scared!"
Shen Jian said with a smile: "It looks scary indeed."
Zhang Yunming chuckled: "'Looking' is scary, what's so great"
Huo Luo naturally didn't know what these people were talking about, but knew that they must be laughing at himself. His face suddenly blushed with anger, and he twisted his neck to look, probably not wanting to cut his vision first.
Shen Zhuo said: "Is he going to break his neck?"
Zhang Yunming said with emotion: "This is Bei Rong's self-breaking neck skill, we can't do it."
Several people laughed again. Huo Luo finally couldn't look back anymore. He turned his head and looked ahead, but he could still vaguely hear the laughter of the few people. Huo Luo only felt very angry. If it weren't for so many people around, the prince of the Southern Dynasty was opening the road ahead. In the car, he really wanted to get out of the horse and look for those young people who were laughing and have a fight, and teach them a lesson, beat them with blood on their smiling faces, and let them taste the power of the eagle on the grassland. !
Watching Huo Luo go away, the people in the room stopped laughing, left the window, and sat down at the table.
The faces of several people were very stern.
Shen Jian said: "The Northern Rong horses are strong and hardworking. If the main force of the army is cavalry, once you cross the mountains and reach the plains, no one can stop them."
Zhang Yunming slapped the fan and said: "According to estimates, we still have a few years, so be prepared." They all deliberately avoided talking about Shen Wen. Everyone understands that this is the most confidential person and cannot be talked about.
Shen Jian asked: "Does your father know?"
Zhang Yunming said: "I haven't told my father yet, let's do it first, and we will talk about it later if we can't help it."
Shen Zhuo smiled: "You are digging a hole for your father."
Zhang Yunming raised his eyebrows: "You didn't tell me either."
Shen Jian sighed: "That's my father too staid, I...I'm afraid he will kill us all righteously and give it away." He didn't dare to say that this was Shen Wen's concern.
Zhang Yunzheng pouted again: "Your father is so stupid!" The whole family is stupid!
Shen Zhuo looked at Zhang Yunzheng gloomily: "How dare you say bad things about my father"
Zhang Yunzheng snorted: "What is bad, not stupid, he has 200,000 troops in his hand, but he has lost his wife and children!"
Shen Zhuo was anxious: "Your home is not getting better!"
Zhang Yunming raised his hand: "It's not our family's fault! We are good people, right"
Shen Jian said: "Yes, don't blame the victim, the victim is too bad! Our two families must work together."
Shen Zhuo felt particularly pleasant after hearing this, so he didn't care about Zhang Yunzheng anymore.
Shen Jian touched the small bag in his arms and said to Zhang Yunming: "You will be the only one who will rely on you for the supplies and food at that time."
Zhang Yunming nodded solemnly: "North, it's up to you."
Shen Jian pushed the table: "Let's split up!"
Zhang Yunming said: "See you at Yige in three days."
The four people saluted and said goodbye, and left the restaurant with their fellow servants who were also full.
--------------------------------------
At the same time, outside the city, an old Taoist took the little Taoist to Xiaoyunguan. The little Taoist asked, "Master, why do you want to see the envoy of Beirong? They don't look good."
The old Taoist sighed: "That was the calamity of my dynasty. The leader of the team was called Huoluo, with a kingly face. If the world doesn't change, he will be the one who washes the capital in blood in the future..." He sighed again.
The little Taoist said anxiously: "Then let's tell the court."
The old Taoist smiled bitterly: "You didn't even see the prince who went to meet him in person, who do you want to tell?"
The little Taoist said: "Then tell the emperor."
The old Taoist hissed: "Little kid, don't talk nonsense! Can you see the emperor, who do you think you are?"
The little Taoist's shoulders collapsed: "I am no one anymore, but master you"
The old Taoist slowly shook his head and said: "I am no one. Is there a place where we can go and our lives are gone. Besides, now there are people who are acting against the sky, we just have to watch from the side. The most important thing is that you and I are still watching Xiaoyun's meal and I have to think about how to repay this love..."
--------------------------------------
That night, Shen Jian and Shen Zhuo went to the post house where the Bei Rong envoy was located. Hundreds of people came from Beirong, and the prince sent to take care of the servants of the envoy, and the post was full. The human voice is noisy and the breath is chaotic, which is very convenient for people to sneak in.
Shen Jian and Shen Zhuo easily touched the Bei Rong people's bedroom. The Bei Rong people were still talking very loudly, and Shen Zhuo and the others could hear them clearly-it's a pity that they couldn't understand a word.
The two squatted in the middle of the night and returned with nothing.
The next day, the Zhang brothers were also confused. But no one can stop, and can only continue to listen.
Finally, on the eve of the envoy meeting with the emperor, the prince's people went to see Huo Luo, and the Zhang family brothers who had been guarding for two nights finally heard the words with substance.
Chapter 63
The prince's people spoke Chinese, and Bei Rong had an interpreter, and the conversation between the two parties finally had something that people could understand. After a few words of courtesy between the two sides, the prince's person said to the interpreter: "...His Royal Highness hopes that His Royal Highness Huo Luo will be as friendly and obedient as possible in front of the emperor."
The translator passed the word and translated for Huoruo: "My father Tugu Khan is a lion in the grassland, so you don't need to bow to anyone. I came this time only to enter into a covenant with you at the invitation of the Southern Dynasty, not to come. Begging for peace."
The bureaucrat of the prince nodded and said: "His Royal Highness pays tribute to Tugu Khan. I hope that we can establish a long-lasting friendship with Tugu Khan in the future."
After a while, the translator said: "People on the grassland don't like false language. You have to make it clear what the Southern Dynasties can do to the Tugu Khan."
The prince's person said: "The recognition of the Southern Dynasty will make the position of Tugu Khan in the northern Xinjiang more popular."
undefinedAfter the translation, Huo Luo had a wow, wow, and the translator explained: "It is imperative for my father to reunify northern Xinjiang, and there is no need to rely on the recognition of the southern dynasty. If the southern dynasty is really sincere, it is time for the merchants to transport grains to northern Xinjiang. We can exchange fur for ironware."
The prince's person hurriedly said: "Public exchange, I am afraid that the emperor may not approve it."
Huo Luo said many words fiercely, and the interpreter said: "His Royal Highness said that if you really enter into alliances, you must provide Bei Rong with food and iron to show your sincerity, otherwise the covenant will not be negotiated!" His tone was extremely high. Seriously, it means that Huo Luo is unambiguous on this issue.
The prince hesitated: "This...I have to discuss with the prince."
Huo Luo continued to shout, the translator said: "His Royal Highness Huo Luo wants the Southern Dynasty to provide Bei Rong with at least one hundred thousand stone grains every year..."
"Absolutely not, absolutely not!" The prince's people were so scared that they waved their hands, and the food embargo in the north made it difficult for them to return 100,000 shi to 10,000 shi!
Without an interpreter, Huolu saw what the prince's person was saying. He said a few more loudly, and the interpreter said: "His Royal Highness said, if the Southern Dynasty does not have such sincerity, we will leave tomorrow without talking about anything. Covenant!"
Fire has been frustrated.
Since he was a child, he and his father have fought for years in Bei Rong. How many times he has been **** from life and death, and has won victory. He deeply feels that as long as he kills as much as he wants, there is nothing that he can't get!
Tugu Khan received the letter of invitation from the prince and asked Huo Luo to come, not for the main purpose of concluding a covenant, but for this son to take a good look at the Southern Dynasties.
From the journey of Huoluo, you have a panoramic view of the scenery of the Southern Dynasties. Except for the Shen Jiajun stationed in northern Xinjiang and steep mountain areas in the north and central, the rich and prosperous Central Plains is a flat river! If Bei Rong were to step into the Central Plains, the Southern Dynasty would be unable to resist. Also talk about the overall situation of the covenant in Northern Xinjiang. The Tugu Khan will become the hegemon of Northern Xinjiang. After years of warfare, it is time to take advantage of the heat to fight the iron and conquer the south next!
So Huo Luo's attitude is very tough, he doesn't talk about it.
The prince's people thought that if he couldn't persuade Huo Luo to put down the air, he would be so arrogant and rude tomorrow, he would definitely anger the emperor. The emperor has always been self-respectful, thinking that Bei Rong is just an uncivilized foreign barbarian. How can he allow Huo Luo to be so arrogant that he will no longer mention any covenants, but to strengthen border defenses and guard against Bei Rong. In that case, the Shen Jiajun will be stronger, Zhenbeihou... the third prince...
Remembering that the prince said to get rid of Zhenbeihou, nothing else needs to be considered. I also think of those who can't do things well, not only can't their lives be saved, if the prince gets angry, the whole family will not survive...
Thinking of this, the prince's people sweated their forehead, wiped the sweat with their sleeves, and whispered: "This, I will convince the prince, every year, privately, remember, it's privately! It's for the second time for His Royal Highness. One hundred thousand catties of cereals." Last year the price of cereals was extremely cheap, and 200,000 catties of cereals didn't cost much.
After the interpreter talked to Huo Luo, he spoke to the prince's person: "Five hundred thousand catties! There are weapons! Iron!"
The prince's person was sweating again and stammered: "Weapons and iron tools will be transported... some, grain, probably, only 300,000 catties."
The translator spoke again: "There are thousands of weapons, and thousands of catties of iron."
The prince shook his head vigorously: "No, no, a thousand...600 weapons, three thousand catties of iron."
After the interpreter spoke to Huo Luo, Huo Luo shook his head.
The prince's person wiped his sweat: "These can be talked in detail...His Royal Highness Huo Luo is a legitimate youth. After the covenant is concluded, his Highness can go back and ask Tugu Khan to come forward and ask me to ask the emperor to marry a princess. Hefan, to show that the two dynasties are happy. I am beautiful as a princess, so I think it is the best choice for a beautiful woman!"
After the interpreter told Huo Luo, Huo Luo tugged and said a few more words. The translator said: "His Royal Highness Huo Luo is an eagle on the grassland. He is admired by many women, and it is only natural to be admired by the princesses of the Southern Dynasty. If there is no grain of 300,000, 1,000 weapons, and 5,000 catties of iron, you can leave now! "
The prince's person sighed and said: "Well, I will go to the prince and say that it should be able to meet the requirements of the prince. However, these will not be counted until the highness and the emperor have made an agreement. If so, His Royal Highness angered the emperor, and these can no longer be discussed." This is to hook Fire Luo respectfully to the emperor with something.
After the translator and Huo Luo discussed for a long time, the interpreter said to the prince's person: "In this case, His Highness Huo Luo will definitely respect the Southern Emperor tomorrow as a show of friendship."
The two sides bid farewell, and the Zhang family brothers also took advantage of the chaos of the crowd to leave the post.
When they returned to the mansion, Zhang Yunzheng immediately found paper and pen and wrote down the conversations they had just heard. Zhang Yunming sat on the side with a black face.
Zhang Yunzheng was almost finished writing, then looked up at Zhang Yunming and asked: "What's wrong with you"
Zhang Yunming said dullly: "I'm not feeling well."
Zhang Yunzheng wrote as he said: "It's because the prince's person mentioned Hefan. We didn't know the transportation of food and iron for a long time, but we never heard her say it. It seems that the little liar also doesn't know something..."
Zhang Yunming is now full of minds about He Fan: the emperor's son is not prosperous, so only the two princesses, the prince's person mentions He Fan, naturally not for the prince's own sister as a matchmaker. He sighed deeply: "Little Fat Duck's strategy is very vicious, but he has to do it."
Zhang Yunzheng sneered while writing: "You didn't want to do this before."
Zhang Yunming slowly shook his head: "It's the four princesses, and you shouldn't go with Fan. Bei Rong is so sturdy, Huo Luo is so manic, no one should be with Fan..."
Zhang Yunzheng almost grinned: "It was you who let her and Fanle, and I let her and Fanlehuo not mention the peace! If she wants to complain, please blame her ill-intentioned brother!"
Zhang Yunming sighed again: "That little duck's heart is too cruel, you must be careful." As long as the prince is moved to harm others, he will inevitably harm his sister. Isn't this a kind of viciousness?
Zhang Yunzheng pouted: "She won't harm her, what's she afraid of"
Zhang Yunming said: "The premise is not to harm her."
Zhang Yunzheng frowned: "Why are you going to harm her?"
Zhang Yunming sighed: "Isn't that just talking about it? It's not harmful. For example, if you marry her in the future, you probably won't be able to take a concubine."
Zhang Yunzheng had a disgusting expression on his face: "Did you see Dad accepting a concubine, and you, the wife is thinking about accepting a concubine before marrying, it's really the bigger and the more obscene!"
Zhang Yunming became angry: "Did I say that I had a concubine! This is just an analogy! That little fat duck is only a few years old now that he can make this stupid plan for Li Daitao. When he grows up, he must be a scheming and poisonous woman. Who dares to ask"
Zhang Yunzheng put the pen on the table: "She saved the fifth princess and made a mistake. You want the fifth princess to make peace with you! Fake things! Rescue the fifth princess and be charged with it! Then don't do this! Sleeve your hands and watch the prince send the fifth princess to Hefan, now you go and carry a lot of concubines into the door! No one cares about you!"
Zhang Yunming was also angry: "What nonsense are you talking about! Did I say that I want to let the fifth princess and Fan!" Zhang Yunzheng usually did it first. This time Zhang Yunzheng was scolded by Zhang Yunzhen. Zhang Yunming actually did it first and greeted Zhang Yunzheng with a punch. As soon as Zhang Yunzheng raised his hand to separate, the two of them fought in the room first. Zhang Yunzheng said as he fought, "If you dare to stain what I just wrote, I will go and smash your study!"
Zhang Yunming said, "Smash it! It's not the first time!" But they moved to the yard while fighting with Zhang Yunzheng. The two of them felt out of breath, and then went to sleep.
Ping Yuan Hou heard that the two brothers had gone out for half the night, and they had a fight when they came back without sleeping, and they scolded several times "Uneasy little bastard". He left the living room, walked gently into the bedroom, sat down by the bed, and said to himself: "They have something to hide from me."
The two went out once the next day. Although the two servants dared not disclose anything, the people from Pingyuan came to report. These nights they guarded the old house bought by Zhang Yunming and did not see anyone. So where did the two go out at night?
If Zhang Yunzheng went out alone, Ping Yuanhou would not be so anxious. But Zhang Yunming, who has always been mature and worry-free, also went out together, and Ping Yuanhou's heart jumped. The eldest son is flexible and meticulous, very much like himself. If he walks at night so regularly, this matter must be extremely important.
Li was asleep, so naturally he didn't hear Ping Yuanhou's muttering. When Pingyuan was about to fall asleep, he finally decided one day to search for the two people's place while they were going out.
After the prince's staff left Huola, they could not enter the East Palace to see the prince, and did not dare to sleep all night. When the palace gate opened in the early morning of the next day, they immediately went to the palace to see the prince. Finally rushed forward on the prince, and hurriedly explained Huo Luo's requirements for food and ironware. The prince listened and thought it was acceptable. Before thinking about it, he nodded indiscriminately and agreed, and then hurriedly went to the morning court. The prince's person was relieved, feeling that his life was saved.
Bei Rong's envoys met with the emperor. The opponent was the second son. The emperor felt that the dynasty corresponded to the third prince. This time, he caught the third prince in advance, prevented him from leaving the palace, and asked him to sit beside him. .
Because the three princes fought against Bei Rong all the year round, the Shen Jiajun often heard the Shen family brothers talk about the battlefield. Personally, they had a deep prejudice against Bei Rong and didn't want to see Bei Rong's agents at all. Being forced to come by the emperor, standing aside also looked unhappy.
After greeting each other ceremoniously, the envoys of Beirong presented to the emperor a letter from Tugu Khan, together with the wolf skin, red fox skin, and black bear skin hunted in Northern Xinjiang, several hunting knives studded with gems, and a Strong bow.
In order to interpret the power of this bow to the emperor, Huo Luo deliberately stretched out his hand to open the bowstring before presenting it, like a full moon. Then he put the bow on the tray and offered it.
The three princes were upset. Seeing this situation, he took a step forward and saluted the emperor: "Please try the power of this bow."
Although the behavior of the three princes was a bit rude, the emperor said casually at this time: "You haven't practiced for a long time, go and try."
The third prince was seventeen years old, younger than Huoruo, and his body was not fully grown. He should be considered a teenager, but in these years he has been riding and hunting with the Shen family brothers, arching horses skillfully, with broad shoulders and well-developed arms. He stepped forward to pick up the bow and stretched out his hand to the side. Father Gu, who was standing nearby, hurriedly handed out a finger. The third prince thanked him, and with luck, he pulled the bow to full circle. All the ministers in the court cheered in unison. The three princes exhaled and relaxed their shoulders, put back the bowstring, returned the finger to Father Gu, put the bow back on the offering plate, and saluted the emperor: "The child is ugly."
The emperor felt that he had gained face in front of Bei Rong, and smiled faintly: "My son is Kong Wu."
The third prince said with a cold face: "This bow is only normal. My boy once tried a black big bow in the Zhenbei Hou Mansion. With my arm, it can only be opened for one or two points."
Hearing the name of Zhenbeihou, the emperor frowned slightly, but in front of the envoy of Beirong, he had to shake the country's prestige and said, "That is the ebony carved bow of Beihou in the old town. How can it be opened casually? ."
The third prince said expressionlessly: "It seems that the child is overwhelming."
The emperor also said that there was no temperature: "The emperor does not need to belittle himself, just keep working hard."
The three princes saluteed and said: "Thank you for your encouragement."
No one dared to come forward and say good things about the three princes, because the emperor did not enthusiastically praise the three princes, and apart from the black-faced Fire Luo, the prince's face facing the minister with his back to the emperor was also obviously gloomy and unhappy.
The three princes retreated, and the two sides began to courteously. The three princes were impatient to listen. They stood there wondering about how to find Shen Jian and Shen Zhuo in Beihou, Zhen. They told them that they had opened the bow given by Bei Rong and had a chance to win. Let's try the ebony carved bow in Beihou, the old town...
Since the three princes opened the bow, Huo Luo has been mad in his heart: What is it to open the bow! Can you shoot a bow and arrow right away, and the arrow is all right? Can you wield a knife on the battlefield and let the blood of the enemy dye the horses red? Except for this young man who can only draw a bow, no one else is there in the hall? One who can stand upright! What's so proud of this group of sluggish southerners! One day I will take my iron horse to go to the capital, and cut off all the Han Chinese who are not looking at him! ... Huo Luo closed his lips tightly, inspired by the vision, and thinking of the promised food, finally there was no attack.
The interpreter said a lot of respectful words prepared in advance to the emperor. The emperor did not lose face in front of the Bei Rong people because the three princes opened the bow, and the people in Bei Rong looked frustrated and did not dare to be arrogant. He was in a good mood. , Said to the envoys that he was willing to recognize Tugu Khan as the lord of northern Xinjiang, and then ordered the Ministry of War to discuss the covenant with the envoys of Beirong.
After retiring from the dynasty, the emperor called the prince to the imperial study room and asked: "What does the emperor think about Beirong's covenant?"
The prince has done many drills for this and hurriedly said: "At this time, the Tugu Khan is preparing to unify northern Xinjiang. If he is an enemy, he should have a good relationship with him early. We signed a contract with him, and there was no war between the two sides. The people were able to recuperate, and the court did not spend any food, money, and foil."
The emperor nodded and said: "The emperor's words are reasonable, this is the way to be stable. If those who come to have a sloppy heart, it means that they are guilty of wrongdoing. Now it seems that the fire is a little bit competitive. Everything else is considered submissive, so you should be sincere and have a good relationship with me."
The prince secretly rejoiced, but fortunately, he let others appease him in advance and agreed to the conditions of Huo Luo. Now it seems that he doesn't want much. If he doesn't agree, wouldn't it be a big mistake?
The emperor suddenly asked: "I heard that you sent someone to see the envoy of Bei Rong yesterday."
Although he knew that many of his actions were under the control of the emperor, and he was already prepared to speak, the prince still secretly broke out in a cold sweat, and hurriedly replied: "It is to teach those Bei Rong envoys what they should follow to meet the emperor. Etiquette, the child went to the outskirts to greet them that day, and felt deeply that these people had no manners and behaved in an innocent manner, for fear that they would be shocked by the holy driver.
The emperor nodded and said, "In the place outside the North Ronghua, its people are stubborn and drinking blood. It is really vulgar! If we don't like military affairs, why should I give these people a face so they seem to be pious and obedient, and save a lot of trouble!" The emperor I have never been to the north in my life. Since ancient times, the Central Plains has been called China.
The prince hurriedly said: "My father is ruling the country wisely. My country is in a prosperous age. How can those out-of-the-region wild people crawl ungodly?"
The emperor smiled faintly and said: "You three emperors ignore state affairs, so you should deal with them." Although the third emperor opened his bow, he was too cold towards himself! The emperor was upset, so he continued to ask the prince to appear on the board of directors, which was regarded as neglecting the third prince. Don't let him or others think that he would win his favor by destroying Bei Rong's prestige in front of the palace.
The prince thanked him eagerly and quit.
One day after the Bei Rong envoy met the emperor, Yan invited Shen Wen to have tea in the courtyard.
As soon as Shen Wen entered the yard, he found that even a member of the Hou Mansion could not be seen in Yan's yard, and there were not many people in Yan's dowry maid. The yard was empty, and there were people from other yards. The excitement in the past is very different.
Seeing Shen Wen's questioning eyes, Yan said in a low voice: "There are many people with mixed mouths, but few people are easy to manage."
Entering the house, Yan's close-fitting maid, Carassius auratus, came with tea, and then went out to guard.
Shen Wen frowned slightly and said, "Second sister-in-law should still show it out a little bit... Uh... Your true color is otherwise, the yard is so tightly guarded, it will make people suspicious."
Yan nodded and said, "Okay, I have to make everyone think that I was hiding like this because I was a little crazy."
She then whispered to Shen Wen about what Shen Jian and Zhang Yunming had monitored these days. Shen Wen had known that the previous life, Bei Rong and the Southern Dynasty had formed an alliance this time, and the prince also threw out Hefan's idea. It seems that history is here. Part of it is still developing as in the previous life.
Shen Wen asked carefully: "It was the prince who mentioned Hefan"
Yan thought for a while and said, "Yes, your second brother read the records over there and said that they were written in great detail, sentence by sentence, as if he was listening to him at the time. He was afraid that he would be seen by someone and read it. It's back to others. What he retelled to me was first mentioned by the prince."
Shen Wen nodded, then asked: "When will the second brother go?"
Yan said in a low voice, "It should be tonight."
Shen Wen took it down, then bid farewell and returned to his yard.
Yan Shi remembered Shen Wen's words, and then went to Liu's yard. During chat, in front of a housemaid, Yan Shi said that the famous Shen Jian from the previous life was in good shape, but I heard that the big brother's figure "It's also very good", everyone covered their mouths, and Liu's blushed with shame. Yan Shi saw this before leaving.
From then on, it spread in the Hou Mansion: The second wife was actually a silent person. Yan's family tried to keep this secret with the dowry. However, Yan became unbearable and cut down the people, and her authenticity was exposed. After that, no matter how strict the Yan family's yard is, it is also a manifestation of the Yan family's failure to make up for it.
That night, Shen Wen changed into night clothes, waited in the dark for Shen Jian and Shen Zhuo to leave the Hou Mansion, and also chased them to the post house in Beirong.
Although she lingered for thousands of years, because she hated Beirong, she never wanted to learn their language after her death. Moreover, Bei Rong was overthrown in just a hundred years after acquiring the Central Plains. In the end, it shrank into a minority group, and even the language was almost extinct. Shen Wen's later generations did not have the opportunity to come into contact with her hostile Bei Rong language too much.
Because the prince's people have already contacted Huo Luo, there will be secret talks later, and the defense must be tight. She is afraid that her two brothers will not be good enough, so she will come to them.
When Shen Jian and Shen Zhuo arrived at night, the prince's people and Huo Luo had been talking for a long time. This interview was very important. At the beginning of the conversation, the soldiers of the Bei Rong envoy and the prince's guards checked both inside and outside the post, but at that time the genius was dark, and Shen Jian and Shen Zhuo had not yet arrived. After the two parties had talked about it for more than half an hour, the surrounding patrols were somewhat slack, and Shen Jian and Shen Zhuo arrived, and they entered the inner courtyard just like that.
Shen Wen looked at the silhouettes of his two older brothers from a distance, and according to his own judgment, he climbed onto the ridge somewhat awkwardly, and then crouched on the eaves of the main house, temporarily relieved. After patrolling her surroundings, she found that there were many people around the main hall. Worried that Shen Jian and the others would have trouble when they evacuated, she flew out of the hospital and went to the residential alley nearby and caught a wild cat. Shen Wen pinched the cat's spine with consciousness, waited for it to faint, and then returned to the post with the cat.
At this moment, Shen Jian and Shen Zhuozheng at the eaves frowned.
The accent of Jingcheng said: "...After the signing of the agreement, the prince will entrust a business brigade every year to send grain, weapons and iron to Beirong."
After talking with Huo Luo, the interpreter replied: "The best weapons are bows and arrows, bed crossbows, broken city cones, etc., to help my father conquer northern Xinjiang."
Jingcheng's accent said: "Brand new weapons probably won't, but old weapons can be shipped to northern Xinjiang."...
The two sides bargained for a while, and Jingcheng's accent said: "To sign a contract with the Ministry of War these two days, His Royal Highness will let people start a roaming around the capital in three days and see the sights of the capital."
The interpreter told Huo Luo, and then said: "It's so good."
After talking for a while, the two parties bid farewell, and there was a shout from the room. The northern soldiers and the Prince's guards patrolling outside entered the inner courtyard one after another, preparing to **** the prince out of the hospital. The torches were bright, and the roof of the wall was brightly illuminated.
Shen Wen used his consciousness to dredge the wild cat's nerves, and when he saw the wild cat wake up, the cat's eyes were bright, he tried to throw the wild cat out.
The wild cat screamed loudly, and an arc shot at the soldiers. Many people shouted at the same time. Everyone looked at one place. Some people pulled out weapons and others held up torches. In the chaos, Shen Jian and Shen Zhuo left the eaves, over the roof, slipped out of the backyard from the wall, and disappeared outside the courtyard.
Shen Wen watched them leave, and the shadow ran out from the post house, rushing to intercept them outside the Hou Mansion before the two brothers returned to the Hou Mansion.
The three of them went to a quiet place, and Shen Jian panted and complained to Shen Wen: "Why are you going to that pickled place?"
Shen Wen said hurriedly: "I didn't come close, I just threw a cat outside."
Shen Zhuocai whispered bitterly: "Bei Rong actually wants a crossbow and a city breaker! These are the weapons of my dynasty. If they have it, they naturally come to attack us! The prince's people have not objected yet!"
Shen Jian sneered: "He thinks it will be used to attack the Shen Jiajun, but not to attack them."
Shen Zhuo cursed: "I didn't see anything!"
Shen Wen sighed: "In fact, they are knowledgeable and know how to find a way to win them. If we don't have the foresight, you can't help but admire them and take risks and finally get rid of their opponents."
Shen Jian also nodded heavily, and said: "Speaking of which, without your dream, we would never have thought that the other party had dug the trap so early. The prince was actually a good one." At this time, the last thing to do. It is more than five years away from the development, and their enemies have implemented a plan to put them to death.
Shen Zhuo was a little afraid and said, "Who would have thought that the prince would be so cruel? What did we do in your dream? The third prince is a straightforward person, so it doesn't seem like he wants to fight for a position, so why wouldn't the prince let him go?
Shen Wen whispered: "In my dream, we really didn't do anything here, but it made the prince unscrupulous. The queen and the prince could not tolerate the three princes psychologically. The prince didn't want to fight for a seat, so he couldn't keep him."
Shen Jian suddenly said: "There is such a thing!"
Shen Zhuo also nodded again and again: "Yes! How come the prince has never had children"
Shen Jian felt that Shen Wen was too young to discuss this issue, and interrupted: "Then what are we going to do now?"
Shen Wen said: "Step by step, those things are still out of luck, so there is no need to deal with it at this time. Now that the prince has mentioned Hefan, let's arrange the matter of Hefan for the prince. They said they want to visit the capital. Let's do that..."
Shen Jian and Shen Zhuo were furious when they heard that the prince was about to deliver weapons to Bei Rong. After hearing Shen Wen's arrangement, they did not have the sentimentality of Zhang Yunming. Shen Zhuo nodded and said, "Okay, let him lift a rock and hit him. Own feet! We deserve retribution!"
Shen Jian frowned slightly: "It's just this way, with the temper of the fourth princess, I will be upset, and I will definitely not agree with Hefan."
Shen Wen said: "I'll talk about it at that time, and now we will finalize the fire Luo side."
Shen Jian also nodded, and then the three of them returned home together.
The next day, Shen Zhuo arrived at Guanyi Pavilion, walked back and forth for a long time, and finally waited for the four princes who walked in. When the fourth prince sat down, Shen Zhuo walked over, smiled and said hello to the fourth prince, and sat beside the fourth prince casually.
The fourth prince's heartbeat was fierce, but on the surface very calm, he nodded to Shen Zhuo.
Shen Zhuo folded the small piece of paper with the action steps into a ball of paper and quietly stuffed it to the fourth prince, saying: "Today I should have asked the son for advice, but I made a dinner and can only watch the son play chess with others. ."
The four princes held the paper ball in their hands, wishing to get up and go right away, but he sat down, so he had to sit for a while. I was thinking about sitting for a while and leaving, but someone leaned in and said with a smile: "Gongzi Jiang hasn't seen him for a long time, I don't know if I have time to play"
The four princes grinned while biting their molars, nodded slightly, and asked the other party to guess the game. As soon as they got started, they were stormy and did not give the other party any chance to breathe. However, after a quarter of an hour, the other party smiled and said: "Gongzi Jiang has superb chess skills. , It's too late in the next." Fist and retired.
The fourth prince was a little embarrassed, and asked Shen Zhuo in a low voice: "Am I too shameless"
Shen Zhuo smiled and said, "Occasionally, it's okay to show you a lot, otherwise no one will know how good you are."
The fourth prince said shyly: "What's great about me is that I like to play chess."
Shen Zhuo got up and said, "Don't be so self-confident, Jiang Gongzi, he can play a good game, of course his brain is very good."
The fourth prince listened, the smile on his face disappeared, looking at Shen Zhuo's back, he began to consider whether he couldn't always win chess in the future and lose more. But he is usually very cautious. He really doesn't want to cheat on the chessboard. It seems that the last piece of pure land has to be given up, so he decided to play less chess and drink more tea in the future, so as not to get into trouble.
He waited for a while, seeing that no one had come to make a chess appointment because he had just made the move too hard, so he got up and helped Ding Neiwei downstairs. Sitting in the car, the four princes immediately unfolded the note and read it. After remembering it firmly, he tore the note into bean-sized pieces and scattered them from the curtain of the car, letting them fall on the ground and turn into dirt. .
Shen Zhuo left Guanyi Pavilion, and then went to Li's Huanyin Pavilion. Shen Jian and Zhang Yunming and Zhang Yunzheng were already waiting there. When there were no idlers, Shen Jian gave Zhang Yunming the record he heard last night. Zhang Yunming read it, shook his head in disbelief, and gave it to Zhang Yunzheng. Zhang Yunzheng saw it, took it in his arms, and hummed: "On this basis, kill now. He doesn't break the law.
Zhang Yunming whispered: "What they want can never be transported."
Shen Jian said: "Of course, but we have to arrange to entertain Fire Luo first."
Then several people whispered about the arrangements for that day.
After talking about things, everyone had a good meal, and a few people were all smiles, but no one could see anything unusual.
After returning home, Shen Jian asked him to send a letter to the third prince in the palace, inviting him to ride a horse in the suburbs two days later, and see him at the East City Gate at some time. The third prince replied to the letter that afternoon, saying that he would go there.
Two days later, the three East Palace officials sent by the prince arrived at the inn. Huoruo took three or four people into three unobstructed carriages and began to tour the scenic spots of the capital under the leadership of the prince's staff.
When they went out of the inn, the surrounding people gave pointers, some joked, and one person gave a whistle. This whistle was spread across the street, and someone over there blew a bamboo flute, and in the distance, someone seemed to knock the gong unintentionally...the sound passed, and I was just sitting upstairs in a scenic spot, ready to have morning tea. In the ears of Mr. Zhang. He chose a location facing the street. He heard a long shout from someone downstairs, and looked down from the window. There were a dozen people in his house scattered around, some pretending to be beggars, and some right to be idlers, all in place. Zhang Yunming shook the fan and ordered tea to the guy, and it was a leisurely moment-he just started the show, and the big show was Zhang Yunzheng's actions.
Chapter 64
Pingyuan Hou Mansion, Zhang Yunzheng personally drove a large carriage out of the mansion.
Zhenbeihoufu, Shen Jian and Shen Zhuo, led a team of guards, including Wang Zhi, and went out early in the morning to meet the three princes at the city gate, and went on horseback to the outskirts.
Su Wanniang took a leave of absence the day before and said she was going to see her brother. This time Shen Zhuo wouldn't take her, so Shen Wen asked her to prepare a car for her. He accepted Yan's invitation and took Xia Qing, who was usually silent, to Yan's.
Xia Qing was chosen by Su Wanniang, so she liked her not talking. This girl is also quick to do things, but she is naturally reluctant to speak, ask ten questions, and is too lazy to answer half a sentence, which is just right for Su Wanniang's request. Su Wanniang didn't explain much, she only told Xia Qing not to tell anyone about the young lady. After a few months, Xia Qing really didn't say anything and didn't disclose anything, Su Wanniang was very relieved of her.
After entering Yan's yard, Yan took Shen Wen's hand and entered the door. After a while, he came out and called his confidant Maid to send something to his parents' house in Beijing. There was a big box. Someone came to move. The crucian carp officer has always been very serious. He brought the housekeeper to carry the box, called the car, pressed the car by himself, and sent the box to the Yan House in Beijing.
undefinedThe Yan's house in the capital is now empty. Only a few servants are in charge of the yard. The car enters the inner yard. The coachman of the town's North Hou Mansion goes out. Shen Wen, who is in a maid costume, got out of the car and was led by the carp. At the back door, Yan's house was sent out.
Shen Wen combed the maid's head, and within a few steps, he saw the carriage of Pingyuan Hou Mansion parked on the roadside, and the carriage was also dressed as a servant, but Zhang Yunzheng with a brutal expression on his face.
Maybe because there was something important to do, the two of them looked at each other in a nondescript manner, and didn't want to fight, and made a grimace to say hello. Shen Wen got in the car, and Zhang Yunzheng drove to a pavilion on Mingjing Lake.
Su Wanniang arrived at Shi Helin's medical clinic and asked the car from the Hou Mansion to return to the mansion, saying that she would hire a car to go back at night.
The carriage of the fourth prince left the palace early in the morning. This time, the fourth prince went to the teahouse where he often sat for a long time. Ding Nei waiter parked the royal carriage in front of the tea house, helped the four princes upstairs, entered the tea room, and then came down the back passage and got into the carriage in the backyard. This time the matter was of great importance, Ding's attendant didn't need the usual coachman anymore. He drove the car himself, dropped by to Shi Helin's medical clinic, and received Su Wanniang from the back door.
After Su Wanniang got on the bus, Ding Nei's waiter hurriedly urged the carriage to go to Mingjing Lake in the city.
Su Wanniang hadn't slept again last night, and she was obviously uneasy sitting in the car. The fourth prince asked gently: "Did you not sleep well"
Su Wanniang sighed: "I'm always like this. Whenever something happens, I couldn't sleep well the night before. Do you think there is blue and black under my eyes? Can I still play a peerless beauty? Can you stop Fire?"
The four princes realized the seriousness of the incident for the first time: "You...your master is going to make beautiful tricks against Huoruo!"
He originally suspected that Su Wanniang borrowed princess clothes to impersonate a princess or something, but he imagined that Su Wanniang was dressed beautifully and flashed far away. After all, fake people can't show up for a long time, causing people a problem. The illusion is fine, I never thought that Su Wanniang would have anything to do with Bei Rong's envoys and face Bei Rong's fire Luo! He had inquired about that person. He was fierce and killed many people with his own hands. Among them was his own blood relatives. This is simply inhuman. How could Su Wanniang come to him!
The fourth prince widened his eyes and said, "No! You can't see him!"
Su Wanniang curled her lips: "What is said to be so ugly, then I will walk two steps in front of him and show half of his face."
The fourth prince said anxiously: "He... let you seduce that fire Luo?"
Su Wanniang smiled: "Of course not. I won't seduce people, she won't send me to do this."
Seeing Su Wanniang's smile, the fourth prince said to her heart, why don't you seduce people, you will seduce people without doing anything, and asked: "Then she asked you to act as a beautiful woman, not a beautiful woman, you are a beautiful woman! Why did he let him? You show up!"
Su Wanniang glanced at the four princes: "If you want princess clothes, you still don't understand that of course you are acting as the fourth princess."
The four princes were terrified: "You...you..." Pretending to be a royal princess to the envoy of Bei Rong, this is a serious crime of beheading!
Su Wanniang said dissatisfied: "Don't be so white, OK, I'm already nervous enough, so don't mess with it."
The four princes came out of sweat and looked at Su Wanniang and said, "You just didn't sleep well." You should be scared.
Su Wanniang was unhappy: "It's hard to sleep well, don't you know that you are flustered and short of breath. I cried when I hit you at the mountain temple because I didn't sleep much for more than ten days before that, because I was going to see who. I collapsed then, otherwise how could I cry so easily? I don't cry often..."
Because of critical tension, she began to chatter. Listening to Su Wanniang's complaint, the four princes calmed down, feeling at ease when they came, and finally sighed: "Forget it, no matter what happens, I will save you and live and die with you. That's it."
Su Wanniang is unhappy: "What are you talking about! She won't arrange me into a dangerous situation, I'm just worried that I won't be able to accomplish what she has given me."
The fourth prince asked: "Who is he and how old is he"
Su Wanniang glared at him: "I didn't tell you!"
The fourth prince was silent for a while, and then asked: "Is he a man?"
Su Wanniang did not speak.
The fourth prince asked again: "Is he older than me?"
Su Wanniang looked at him and sighed: "She is not a man, she is much younger than you! Are you happy?"
The four princes looked at Su Wanniang aggrievedly: "You lie to me."
Su Wanniang rolled her eyes: No one believes the truth.
The four princes looked at the hair style on Su Wanniang's head, and asked in a low voice: "You have reached the age of 笄." When the woman reached the age of fifteen, she no longer combed the double bun, but combed her hair into a bun and inserted a hairpin to indicate that she could marry. People. Su Wanniang just put on her braids, she seemed to have reached her age, but she didn't have the time to give a gift.
When asked about her age, Su Wanniang finally blushed and lowered her head slightly and said: "Miss said...it's not enough to give a gift now, wait..."
The fourth prince nodded and said: "Wait for you to give a gift before marriage."
Ji Chi is an important etiquette, symbolizing adulthood. Many girls have to discuss marriage when they have done the gift. If you have not married at the age of twenty, you must give a gift regardless of whether you are allowed to marry at the age of twenty. Before that, as long as the girl did the ceremony before Xu marriage, it was enough.
The wedding ceremony is an important etiquette in a girl's life second only to a wedding. In ancient times, a girl became a woman and became a woman. There is no "character" if there is no time for the ceremony, so it is said to be "being in the boudoir".
In the future, the Chinese mainland has completely abandoned this etiquette. But Japan, across the sea, maintains a woman's coming-of-age ceremony. Fifteen-year-old girls have to wear expensive kimonos, go to the temple to pray for blessings, and worship their parents.
Su Wanniang is a maid, and the ceremony of Jiqi must be a jacket hammer to insert a hairpin, but Shen Wen hopes that Su Wanniang can have a solemn ceremony and don't pass such an important ceremony lightly. She wanted Su Wanniang to be the righteous daughter of the Hou Mansion in the future, and let the old lady or the Yang family insert a hairpin on her, so she would not let Su Wanniang perform the ceremony and only let her pigtail her braids.
The four princes whispered: "Wait, so I can give you a hairpin when you make a gift..."
Su Wanniang turned her face: "Miss said, she wants to give it to me..." The hairpin with the hair in it is of great significance and represents a new milestone in life. Shen Wen is her closest person, so naturally it should be Shen Wengi.
The fourth prince insisted: "Mine must look better."
Su Wanniang glanced at the four princes and whispered: "Showing off!"
Her eyes were sparkling and her tone was like joy and anger. The fourth prince's face flushed, but she said: "I...give it to you, what's the matter?"
Su Wanniang's eyes drooped slightly: "Who wants you!" It was obviously a rebuke, sound-color-tempting, and her words soft as water.
The fourth prince squeezed the seat under his lower body to prevent him from flying. He bit his lower lip and whispered: "If you don't want my hairpin, then...I'll go and plug it in myself..."
It's worth it! If a man goes to the ceremony and wants to insert the hairpin with his own hands, you can grab the kiss directly!
Su Wanniang's face was flushed too, she lowered her head to look at her fingertips, and whispered, "Be careful, my...brother, beat you out!" It was still the fascinating voice.
The fourth prince remembered Su Wanniang's scared younger brother, and said: "He won't, we are in the same group, he also taught me a few tricks."
Su Wanniang looked up at the fourth prince in surprise: "What!"
The fourth prince was a little shy, and whispered: "He asked me to share a snack with you...but I haven't found a chance yet..."
Su Wanniang gritted her teeth: "That little Poppy! I must pull his ears when I go back!"
The fourth prince said hurriedly: "Don't, don't you want him to hate me, but we are good friends."
Su Wanniang frowned angrily, but she didn't say she was going to pull Su Chuanya's ears.
After a while, the fourth prince looked at the curtain on the side of the car and asked in a low voice: "That, can it work?"
Su Wanniang asked inexplicably: "What can do?"
The fourth prince whispered: "Have a snack..."
Su Wanniang said: "Don't think about it! I don't like snacks! I am fed up by the young lady every day, and I am tired of eating." It seemed to be acting like a baby.
The fourth prince turned his head and asked: "Then what do you like to eat?"
Su Wanniang said: "Fruit, I like persimmon, crabapple, and peach the most."
This time the four princes frowned: "Persimmons are too soft. If you eat them separately, it is very troublesome. Peaches must not be divided, otherwise people will say that dividing peaches is good and Haitang is so small..." He stretched his eyebrows and smiled...
Su Wanniang raised her eyebrows and raised her hand to push the four princes: "What are you talking about!" The words were as crisp as a jade chime, and the fourth prince was flushed with hot ears. She hurriedly lowered her head and said aggrievedly: "You said you like to eat..."
Su Wanniang gaped, and finally said angrily: "You stay away from Su Chuanya! That little Poppy doesn't learn well!"
The four princes pursed their lips and smiled, listening to his heart pounding, thinking that in the future, he would have to find a chance to chat with Su Chuanya, to find some inspiration, and to let Su Wanniang reprimand herself...
Soon, the carriage arrived at the place they had arranged by Mingjing Lake.
Mingjing Lake is actually a small lake formed by the confluence of the three-eyed spring water and a small river flowing into the city from outside the city. In the city, it can also be regarded as a scenic spot. The lakeside path is euphemistic, and there are many shops in lively places, but there are also willow groves with few people or secluded places where the rich live.
The place Shen Wen chose was a pavilion by the lake. The woods around the pavilion separated the crowds from the downtown area.
Zhang Yunzheng's carriage arrived first. He got out of the carriage, yelling like a wicked servant, and several women resting in the pavilion hurriedly evaded when he saw it.
Soon, Ding Nei's attendant arrived with the fourth prince. The fourth prince continued to sit in the car. Su Wanniang took the clothes and bags prepared by the fourth prince and got out of the car, and went into Zhang Yunzheng's large carriage to change clothes with Shen Wen. Zhang Yunzheng got into the fourth prince's car, met with the fourth prince, and took over the **** clothes from the fourth prince.
The four princes recognized that this young man was the so-called "brother of the remote house" introduced by Zhang Yunming during the Spring Outing. No wonder this person was able to shout and drink to the eldest son of Ping Yuan Hou. It must be a righteous man from the rivers and lakes invited by Ping Yuan Hou. Like that, the four princes showed great respect to Zhang Yunzheng.
Zhang Yunzheng took off his coat and put on an eunuch's costume. He also took a whisk in his hand, carried a large bag of mantle and got out of the car. Attendant Ding hurriedly went to help. When he reached the large carriage of Pingyuan Hou Mansion and saw that there was no one around, he took out the canopy curtain and covered the royal curtain outside the carriage. The carriage of Pingyuan Hou Mansion became magnificent.
After doing this, Ding Neibu listened to Zhang Yunzheng's instructions and drove away the carriage of the fourth prince, and then hid in the carriage of the fourth prince, waiting to watch the show.
Zhang Yunzheng held the whisk in his hand and stood by the car in the "Palace".
Shen Wen changed the clothes of the palace lady himself, and watched Su Wanniang changing clothes, feeling a little nervous, so he whispered to Su Wanniang and Zhang Yunzheng, who was standing outside the curtain of the curtain, of the detailed process of the previous life.
In the previous life, the prince also let the prince take Huo Luo to play. In the crowded lakeside area, there were people making trouble. Huo Luo and a few Bei Rong people avoided the crowd and arrived here. At that time, there were several women in the pavilion. Huoluo became lustful on the spot, thinking that this was Northern Xinjiang, so he went up and asked Huan. The women screamed and fled, but Huo Luo dragged him to death. Shen Jian happened to pass by here on horseback, but when he couldn't see through, he got off his horse to stop him.
When the two of them couldn't understand each other, Huo Luo shook his fist at Shen Jian. Shen Jian naturally refused, and the two fought at the water's edge. Although Huo Luo has brute force, Shen Jian has learned swordsmanship and fist since he was a child, and his practice is always better than amateurs. Seeing that he couldn't beat it, Huo Luo moved to kill, drew a dagger from his boots, and stab Shen Jian. Shen Jian was angry and moved really. He threw out his fists swiftly and steadily, and in a few strokes he forced Huo Luo to the water's edge. Fire Luo was born in the north and was not familiar with water. As soon as he touched the water, he lost his square inch. He was hit by Shen Jian in the water, so that he was bruised and he couldn't get up when he was lying in the water. Hands up. Later, when asked about his identity by an interpreter, Shen Jian didn't want to hurt the innocent, so he declared that he was the second son of Zhenbeihou, Shen Jian, and he could come again if he didn't agree. Huo Luo firmly remembered through translating that he didn't understand Chinese at all, but he learned to recognize the word "Shen" specifically for this matter. After six years, in the melee between the two armies, Huo Luo searched for the general flag "Shen" and finally found Shen Jian...
After Shen Wen finished speaking, Su Wanniang also changed her clothes. Shen Wen combed her hair again, plugged the hairpin in the parcel given by the Fourth Prince to her head, and then used an eyebrow pencil to draw a black dot under Su Wanniang's left cheek. Finally, she put a veil on Su Wanniang, helped Su Wanniang get out of the car, and the two slowly walked towards the pavilion by the water.
The four princes looked at the car window through the curtain, unable to turn their eyes. What he chose for Su Wanniang was his mother's luxurious and very luxurious set of clothes. A colorful wrinkled brocade dress with a light yellow placket embroidered with golden flowers and a purple ribbon inlaid with gems on the waist. Su Wanniang's waist is slender and beautiful. When she walks in the sun, the colorful rings appear between the skirts, and the upper body is dazzling with golden flowers.
Huo Luo, who came from a distance, saw him, shook off a few people in the same group, and rushed over. Shen Wen whispered: "Come on, remember, be late! Don't slap your face too much."
Zhang Yunzheng looked at the rushing fire Luo coldly, and said in a low voice, "You have a lot of real things!"
Huo Luo and the others originally took a car to the downtown area near Mingjing Lake. The crowd was crowded and the carriages and horses were moving slowly. Seeing the tourists in the distance, there are no roads, so he got out of the car and walked. Not long after getting out of the car and walking on the street, someone in the surrounding crowd suddenly shouted: "Look, those Han Chinese are helping Beirong Barbarians! What a shame!"
The prince's man was introducing the scenery to Huo Luo's translator. His smile was attentive. People felt lost when they saw it. A group of people came up and dragged aside the Han-like people, pushing and shoving. Huo Luo should go to help, but he originally looked down on these civilian officials, seeing that they were unable to fight back under the push of civilians, let alone make a move. Just follow the path and continue to the front. Anyway, it's just such a path. If those people have been beaten enough, they will definitely follow them.
Zhang Yunming looked at the window and made a gesture. The few people who didn't participate in the besieging rushed to the woods before Huolo, driving the few pedestrians along the way: "Go, go, the barbarians from Bei Rong are here. ! Looking for someone to fight!"
The people in the forest are all ordinary people, and when they hear this, they all hide away, making the already sparsely crowded path completely silent.
Huo Luo took a few soldiers from the Northern Army and walked along the path to the lake. He was born in the remote northern Xinjiang. He felt prosperous when he first came to Beijing, but when he grew up he felt irritable. Now he suddenly came to a quiet place. Very good, there is a taste of hometown. Occasionally seeing someone looking at them in front of them, he immediately glared at them. The other party turned around and ran away. He thought it was afraid of him, and laughed with joy.
He was approaching the lake from the forest. From a distance, he saw a woman in a gorgeous dress by the lake, walking slowly between the sun and the lake, walking lightly, as if floating in the air. Huo Luo hasn't touched the girl for a long time. He glanced at it and didn't even see his eyebrows, but he believed that this girl must be a great beauty, and she was like a fire, regardless of the people she was traveling with, so he rushed towards Su Wanniang. .
Su Wanniang slowed down even more. She is talented, and she has an unspeakable grace and grace in her gait and body, so the brothel would grab her at the beginning.
Huo Luo rushed to the front and yelled a Bei Rong dialect. Su Wanniang seemed to turn her head unintentionally. Shen Wen lifted half of her veil with her consciousness, revealing her half of her cheek with black spots and full of contempt and contempt. look.
Su Wanniang can make people immovable just by her back, not to mention her unparalleled appearance. Huo Luo was shocked at the time, and only heard Zhang Yunzheng shout: "Who would dare to peep at the four princesses! Don't stand still!"
As he said, he swept the whisk in his hand to Huo Luo. Shen Wen closed his eyes and strengthened Zhang Yunzheng's force on the dust. The dust was everywhere, with a gust of wind. Huo Luo yelled and stepped back. Su Wanniang also stopped looking at Huo Luo, turned and returned to the car surrounded by the royal curtain.
Huo Luo was in adolescence and had already moved wild. He followed his father to kill him since he was a child. Self-cultivation is definitely not a strong point. In addition, at this time, he saw the most beautiful face he has seen in his life and the eyes that despised him. His blood rushed to his head, without any thoughts, and shouted, Flew like a beast and rushed towards Su Wanniang.
Fire was full of fierceness, and the fourth prince sitting in the car watching the situation screamed in fright, and jumped out of the car door in a hurry, but was pulled and helped by the Ding Nei waiter who was in the car and did not fall out of the car.
In an instant, Zhang Yunzheng flew a kick and was kicking in the upper abdomen of Huo Luo. Shen Wen's consciousness doubled the frequency of his strength. This kick made Huo Luo half-flying and the fourth prince got out of the car. Shizheng saw Huo Luo fall in an arc in the air and fell to the ground. Fire Luo couldn't get up at all, coughing loudly.
The fourth prince stabilized his figure and leaned against the cowl to catch his breath.
When Huo Luo was relieved, he saw Zhang Yunzheng respectfully bending over to the "four princesses", and he didn't understand what he said. In fact, it was just "how the principal will deal with this person" or something like that. The "four princesses" replied arrogantly, and at the same time made a gesture of disgust like throwing off dirt.
On the grassland, Huo Luo fell in love with a woman, and he wanted it soon. If he didn't like it, he would throw the person to the guards and ruin it to death after he did it. If there is a slight resistance, he can draw a knife and give someone a knife on the spot, and then he can't do it wrong. He has grown so big that he has never suffered any setbacks on this. What's more, he is the second son of Khan who is unmarried. How many people still give up and hug him. How could he have seen such a time of abandoning him like a shoe, he was embarrassed and angry, regardless of the pain in his chest, jumped When she got up, she pounced on Su Wanniang with a strange cry.
This time the four princes stopped calling and stood aside and watched quietly.
Zhang Yunzheng arrogantly stepped between Huo Luo and the fourth princess. Seeing the clothes Zhang Yunzheng was wearing, Huo Luo knew that this was the **** in the palace. The **** was gone, not even a man, and Huo Luo didn't take them seriously. Just now with that dust and kick, Huo Luo thought that he was not ready to let this young **** hit him. Now he is ready to fight desperately. It is better to beat this **** to death in front of that woman, and then just here to take it. Up her!
When Zhang Yunzheng saw Huo Luo not stopping, he stopped Huo Luo with an arm, and Huo Luo naturally threw a punch. Zhang Yunzheng said loudly, "Look, he did it first!" At the same time, he dodged, luck fisted, and raised his hand to counterattack. , Was hitting on the bridge of Huo Luo's nose, only hearing a click, Huo Luo's nosebleeds flowed down. When Huo Luo saw the blood, he became even more frantic. He stretched out his hand and drew a dagger from his right boot, and slammed Zhang Yunzheng.
Zhang Yunzheng shouted again: "He moved the knife first!" He swept the dust from his hand and wrapped it around Huo Luo's wrist, pulled it out, and then hit everything with his palm to knock Huo Luo's dagger to the ground. Then he threw the Buddha Chen, and the two of them used fists and kicks together to formally start the fight.
Zhang Yunzheng was trapped in the courtyard since he was young. He didn't care about the fight, and was so angry that even Zhang Yunming, who was older than him, did not dare to hit him head-on, so he could only avoid the edge by jumping and dodge. Zhang Yunzheng dared to attack his martial arts master, and repeatedly yelled the master with anger, and did not dare to take it lightly against him.
Now the opponent is Huo Luo, Zhang Yunzheng heard Shen Wen tell Su Wanniang about his second brother's fortune, and once again put her family in the category of "stupid". He is now seventeen years old. He is a young man who is proud of me. He feels that Laozi is the number one hormone peak in the world. He wants to show his hand in front of Shen Wen, a little liar full of calculations, and let her see what she is capable of. Open hands and feet, fight with all your strength.
At this time, Shen Wen didn't care about the grievances between the two people. It was important to avenge the second brother. He secretly strengthened Zhang Yunzheng's fists and feet, so that Zhang Yunzheng's fists were like iron and tigers and tigers. In addition, he learned serious kung fu, knowing how to hit people's meridians, the most painful and crippled people, only a dozen punches, so that Huo Luo has no power to parry.
Zhang Yunzheng stared at the water's edge and forced Huo Luo into the water step by step. When Huo Luo Yuguang saw the swelling of the water, he was even more panicked. He was hit by Zhang Yunzheng several times in a row, all hitting the side of the head, dizzy. I heard a bang in my ear again, and there was a buzzing in my ears, and no sound was heard. Fire Luo suddenly lost his balance and fell into the water. Zhang Yunzheng kept raising his legs and kicking more than a dozen feet. Huo Luo could only protect his face with his arms, and heard the sound of his ribs being kicked off again and again. He couldn't help but screamed.
At this time, the talents of Huoluo's companion rushed to the water, and the translator stammered: "You... dare... be rude to the envoy of Beirong... Your Highness Huoluo!"
Zhang Yunzheng walked back to the shore, stomped his wet shoes, and said in a bad tone: "I want to be rude to the fourth princess, and I don't want to live anymore!"
The other three were soldiers from the North Rong. Seeing Huo Luo lying in the water, one hurried to help Huo Luo, and two of them came up to fight Zhang Yunzheng. Zhang Yunzheng was not polite, knocked two people to the ground with three punches and two kicks, clutching his stomach and couldn't get up. When the other person saw him, he held on to Fire Luo and didn't dare to come forward.
The translator shouted: "Dare you! Dare you! We killed you!"
Zhang Yunzheng spit on the ground fiercely, "Of course I dare! Your Royal Highness the four princesses are you barbarians who can provoke you to kill you all!" After speaking, he slapped the translator half his body, and then hit his ass. He kicked the translator so hard that the dog gnawed the mud and hit the ground.
Seeing that no one dared to step forward, Zhang Yunzheng said to the "four princesses" who walked to the car: "His Royal Highness the four princesses, these people have taken care of it."
"Four princesses" Su Wanniang hummed coldly with her nose, "These barbarians are looking for death!" The tone was incredibly frivolous, and she was supported by Shen Wen and got into the car gracefully, and Shen Wen followed him into the car.
Zhang Yunzheng picked up the whisk from the ground and swept it contemptuously at a few people on the ground, as if to dust off a piece of dust, then turned around and sat on the cowl, drank and drove away.
The fourth prince let out a sigh, shook his head at the translator on the ground, and whispered: "Outsiders are just ignorant, how can they provoke..." He sighed and climbed into the car without being supported. Ding Nai waiter lowered his head, sat in the driver's seat, and drove away.
Several people helped Huo Luo up, and the translation explained the situation. Huo Luo thought that he was beaten like this by an eunuch, and the host of the other party was the fourth princess, a woman! When these two things add up, don't compare yourself to the prairie eagle, the mole of the prairie is almost the same.
Huo Luo told his own people absolutely not to leak out, and then a few people supported him, washed his face with water by the lake, and combed his hair again, and then walked back slowly.
When they arrived at the carriage that was parked in the bustling place, the princes finally got rid of the entanglement of the people, and waited for Fire Luo by the side of the car with disheveled hair. Fortunately, although Huo Luo was so painful that he didn't dare to breathe, his tinnitus was dizzy, but his face was only swollen and his body was soaked. So the interpreter told the prince's people that Huo Luo fell on the lake, fell into the water, and was about to go back. The group of people sat on the carriage, no longer proud of the scenery, and returned to the post house dejectedly.
After arriving at the post house, Huo Roma asked the interpreter to find out who the four princesses were. The news returned was that the four princesses were spoiled and arrogant, and it was common to beat and scold palace people. There was a mole under her cheek, which was broken in the past, so she often wears a veil, but she has never heard of any master in the **** next to her.
Huo Luo was so angry that he almost burned him through. In that short glimpse, the beautiful profile of the "four princesses" and her eyes full of contempt always appeared in the mind. He was in a **** of fire, unable to sleep all night.
Zhang Yunzheng drove the car to the edge of the forest. Seeing that there was no one around, he hurriedly unloaded the car's curtain and so on. In the car, Su Wanniang and Shen Wen also took off their palace costumes. Not long after, the fourth prince's car arrived, and Zhang Yunzheng wrapped a big bag of mantle, clothes, pins, etc., and returned it to the attendant Ding. The two cars left separately, Zhang Yunzheng sent Su Wanniang and Shen Wen, the four princes had to go back to the teahouse, and then take the royal carriage back to the palace.
The four princes kept thinking about this scene of just now, thinking of Su Wanniang's noble and elegant appearance, they were very enthusiastic. Thinking of the vigorous skill of the young man in the eunuch's suit, I feel particularly refreshed. Then he figured out why the master behind the scenes played this chess move-the young man fought Fire Luo as the four princess eunuch, Su Wanniang despised Huo Luo so much, she must have wanted Huo Luo to hate the four princesses for it. And if Huo Luo wants to avenge the four princesses, there is no other way than He Fan. But Hefan is not necessarily a princess, most of Hefan's are court ladies or aristocratic ladies. Why should Huo Luo have the idea of marrying a princess? If the emperor didn't want to marry a princess, who would start it... The four princes suddenly woke up: this is to prevent the prince from recommending the fifth princess to the emperor to go and fan! If the prince mentions Hefan, Huo Luo will ask to marry the fourth princess when he hears that he can marry a princess!
The fourth prince inhaled air-conditioning in the car: If there is such a day, the prince would dare to frame the fifth princess, but he would have shot himself in the foot! He didn't know that the prince had actually spoken before Shen Wen took action.
The four princesses are her own sisters, but the four princes really have no affection for her. There is a queen who poisoned her mother in the front, and the four princesses insulted her in public. In contrast, the fourth prince wanted to save his other sister, the fifth princess. Moreover, the four princes felt that this plan was just another disgusting prince: how could the four princesses agree with the fierce temperament that He Fanzhi Huo Luo proposed, and she must have rejected the quarrel. But if it didn't happen, the prince would push the five princesses out, and the five princesses were tender-hearted, and they would marry crying and couldn't get away. Now that the four princesses are blocking this place, the fifth princesses are spared this disaster...
The fourth prince thought joyfully, the third prince owes himself a favor! In the future, the gift of marriage he asked for would provide an extra layer of protection. He couldn't help but smile. He felt that the anthurium night with Su Wanniang was a big step closer...
The only thing he didn't think much about was the second Miss Shen who was dressed as a court lady. He thought that the child must have been a puppet received by an expert long ago, except for Su Wanniang as a foil.
Zhang Yunzheng sent Su Wanniang, who had been replaced by a fashion set, to the city. Su Wanniang hired a carriage to take herself back to the Hou Mansion. Then, Zhang Yunzheng should go in the direction of Yan Mansion and put Shen Wen, who was dressed as a maid, at the back door of Yan Mansion. But soon, the carriage stopped suddenly. Shen Wen initially thought that he was avoiding other people to stop, but after waiting for a while, Zhang Yunzheng was sitting in the car seat from the gap in the car curtain. Shen Wen frowned, thinking that Zhang Yunzheng was too unreliable! How can you leave halfway? Isn't this a child's temper! She just wanted to get out of the carriage and go to Yan's Mansion by herself, when Zhang Yunzheng came back, and the carriage started again.
After tossing for a long time, this matter basically ended successfully, and Shen Wen relaxed and felt hungry. As soon as this idea came up, she smelled a breath of food-how could it be possible! It must be my own illusion! But there was indeed the smell of food. Shen Wen used his nose to smell it in the carriage, and finally smelled the smell coming from the gap in the curtain leading to the front seat. She took a look at the curtain of the car, Zhang Yunzheng was eating a pancake with meat while driving the car, watching it steaming, and there was a greasy paper bag beside him!
Chapter 65
Shen Wen was angry, raised the curtain slightly, and quickly took the paper bag into the car, opened it, the cake was soft and meaty, and Shen Wen bit it down... "Oh," yelled, and spit out a copper coin. ! Zhang Yunzheng laughed outside the car.
Shen Wen slammed the copper coin on Zhang Yunzheng's back from the seam of the car curtain. Of course, he didn't use any internal force. Exhaust.
Zhang Yunzheng shook his head and ate the pie, turned his head and said to Shen Wen, who was eating the meat pie in the curtain of the car, frowning, "Don't say what it is to take without telling you don't know. Tsk tsk! No shame!"
Shen Wen was full of things, but he still tried hard to say: "Asshole...who wants to talk to you!"
Zhang Yunzheng snorted: "I bought the **** for myself. You steal it, what are you?"
undefinedWhen Shen Wen eats good things, he doesn't care about what is wrong, chewing and saying: "You should take the initiative to give it to me! There is no demeanor at all!"
Zhang Yunzheng said: "Why do you have to be polite to pigs?"
Shen Wen said with a mouthful of pork: "You are a pig! You are clumsy, no one cares about you."
Zhang Yunzheng laughed: "You don't know that, I'm in the south, and there are so many people who care about me every day! All of them are young ladies who can read and paint, none of them are pigs that love to eat!" He has never eaten a bite of his noodles.
Shen Wen knew that Zhang Yunzheng was too handsome and had a cold taste. He probably fascinated the girls of his maternal grandfather's family. He felt that those women were worthless. Anyway, Zhang Yunzheng couldn't see it, and his mouth was full. He said with a pancake and said: "What bad temper do you have, don't let people, who will find you in the future, who will be unlucky, and not being bullied by you all day is not enough to cry, what good is the use of being able to calligraphy and painting? Learning martial arts can beat you up!"
Zhang Yunzheng cut his voice: "You kid, you know what love in the world, my brother said, I am the best man in our family, and I will definitely have a good marriage in the future."
Shen Wen knew Zhang Yunming's love for this younger brother. Now, with the help of other people's money, he can't provoke his brother's feelings, so he can only mumble: "That's in the future, anyway, you are still a **** now!"
Zhang Yunzheng turned around and said, "Spit out the meatloaf you ate!"
Shen Wen swallowed the last bite, wiped his mouth, then made a vomiting sound in the car, and said: "It's spit out! It's on the floor in your car!"
Zhang Yunzheng said: "How can you be so shameless! No wonder you have a bad reputation since childhood!"
Shen Wen chuckled: "You actually went to inquire about my reputation. Didn't you start to pay attention to me?"
Zhang Yunzheng said with contempt: "Don't look at yourself too high! Let's change from a pig to a human first!"
Shen Wen counterattacked: "Asshole!"
Zhang Yunzheng said: "Pig!"...
The two people walked all the way through the car curtain and exchanged many superficial words and sentences that had lost their sensitivity and became meaningless. Finally, Zhang Yunzheng stopped near the back door of Yan's Mansion, and Shen Wen pressed against the car curtain and said, "You Just know the quarrel, I still have business to talk about!"
Zhang Yunzheng frowned and said, "Who wouldn't let you say it was you wasting time."
Shen Wen accused: "You have been out for so long, why haven't you grown up!"
Zhang Yunzheng asked immediately: "Do you think it is long"
Shen Wen was crazy: "What makes me feel long! I don't care if you are long! You are making trouble again!"
Zhang Yunzheng paused for a moment, and said lightly: "Okay! You are not a pig anymore, you are just a pig, can't you?"
Shen Wen scratched his head: "I'm a ghost, okay! I'm not a pig! Don't make a mistake! No! I'm telling you what this is for!..."
Zhang Yunzheng immediately said, "That's okay, I don't care if you are a pig or a ghost again!"
Shen Wen became more sober, and said fiercely: "If you don't let me tell the truth, we are wrong, do you know what the consequences will be!"
Zhang Yunzheng sighed, and said in a low tone: "Miss Shen Zetian, please speak up!"
Shen Wen beats the board: "You bastard! Stinky stone! Second goods!..."
Zhang Yunzheng coughed, and Shen Wen stopped thinking that someone was there. She closed her eyes and touched. There was no one around, so she asked Zhang Yunzheng: "Why are you coughing and seeing what?"
Zhang Yunzheng said with a consistent contemptuous tone: "Oh, my brother said, when someone is going crazy, coughing may be able to call that person's soul back. Look at you, you really have returned to your soul, don't you? Should I thank me?"
Shen Wen suddenly said: "You bastard, just take pleasure in bullying people! You used to bully your brother, now you are here to bully me!"
Zhang Yunzheng was silent for a moment, then snorted, "Who is bullying you, don't be passionate like my brother!"
Shen Wen gritted his teeth and said: "If you quarrel with me again, I will go to your brother and tell him that I will not take you to play! There are so many interesting things to do behind me, which is more exciting than today! "
Zhang Yunzheng paused for a while, and asked listlessly: "What are you going to do?" There was no thorny tone. This meant a truce.
After confirming that there was no one else around, Shen Wen whispered to the car curtain, "Go and tell your brother, find someone who has fallen into the grass and is a bandit, mountain bandit, water bandit, all. The water bandit is on Lianghu. Also, I have to find someone to help me open the wine cellar..."
Zhang Yunzheng nodded and said, "Little drunks are very common..."
Shen Wen was angry: "You're here again!" She now understands that Zhang Yunzheng was probably circled out, and she has to mix things up a bit.
Zhang Yunzheng pouted his lips: "What else is there"
Shen Wen thought about it and said, "Do this first, and talk about the future later."
Zhang Yunzheng got up again, and said mockingly: "What you want to do is explained in one sentence! I also suggest that you don't overestimate your witty talents in the future. Boasting is actually very lacklustre." In revenge, Shen Wen just said he had no demeanor
When Shen Wen saw that it was past noon, he lifted the car curtain and jumped down. He was so angry that he ignored the defenses of men and women. He straightened his leg and kicked Zhang Yunzheng's calf, who was sitting comfortably on the shaft of the car, and said, "I think Such a demeanor!" Then he ran towards the back door of Yan's Mansion.
Zhang Yunzheng turned to Shen Wen's back and said, "A ghost!"
Shen Wen knocked at the back door, and the carp waiting inside immediately opened the door for her, and then led her into the yard. Shen Wen had already told her the hour to wait here, which was not surprising. But what she couldn't bear was that Crucian was originally a very serious girl, and now her brows were furrowed, and her pace was stiff, making Shen Wen also nervous. There was no one on the way, and the carp pulled Shen Wen into the house, only to let out a loud sigh of relief.
Shen Wen comforted her and said, "Don't worry about it. This is an inner house. Several servants are in the front yard. The second sister-in-law told me."
Crucian carp said solemnly: "The second lady is a thief and bold, what if a woman comes back?"
Shen Wen pointed to his servant girl's clothes and said, "It is said that the servant girl from the Hou Mansion of Zhenbei came here with you."
Crucian carp reluctantly said: "What if the lady talks and tells the coachman in Beihou Mansion outside what to do if the coachman tells others what to do if someone talks about you in the second lady's yard today. , But I took a maid from Zhenbeihou's Mansion to Yan's Mansion. What if someone puts two things in one place..."
Shen Wen surrendered: "Where is the box! I'll get in quickly!"
The crucian let Shen Wen hide in the box when she came in, and asked someone to carry the box, saying that this was an old thing that Yan had left in Yan's house for personal use, and the box was carried to the car and returned to the Hou Mansion in Zhenbei.
In the courtyard of Shen Jian, Carassius once again ordered people to unload the box and carried it into Yan's house. Shen Wen jumped out of the box, crucian carp in relief. Yan Shi helped Shen Wen take off the maid's clothes, and smiled and said to the carp: "Go and rest!"
Crucian carp sighed loudly again and whispered, "Thank God!" and went out.
Yan's whispered to Shen Wen: "Is everything going well?"
Shen Wen said: "It's okay." Then he told Yan Shi in a low voice, and Yan laughed.
Soon, Shen Jian came back. As soon as Yan heard the sound, he trot out and took Shen Jian's hand into the house with him. Then, while **** Shen Jian, he told Shen Jian what Shen Wen had told her.
Shen Jian nodded and listened, and asked Shen Wen who was sitting on the side: "Will it attract the attention of the prince?"
Shen Wen shook his head: "I saw that Huo Luo's face is not very swollen, he should be embarrassed to say something." In fact, in the previous life, Huo Luo was beaten with a bruised nose and swollen face and did not complain publicly. It was the translator who told the prince Shen Jian's identity. Ren, the prince also filed a complaint with the emperor, saying that Shen Jian wanted to break the covenant between the two countries.
Shen Jian told Shen Wen how he and Shen Zhuo had been riding with the third prince on the outskirts for most of the day. As soon as he finished speaking, the Yang family asked them to come over and let them go to dinner.
Shen Jian is going to the border gate. Every time Yang knows that Shen Jian is at home, he tries his best to have dinner with the whole family.
Probably because Yan has no children yet, Yang feels sorry, so he never let Yan be a director. Unlike the Liu family who usually manages things in the house and arranges catering, Yan Shi only puts chopsticks on one side and serves a few dishes, and then Yang will let Liu and Yan sit together.
Because Shen Wen was here with the Yan clan, he naturally took Xia Qing and his wife Shen Jian to the hall where the whole family had dinner. They walked halfway and ran into Shen Zhuo. They hadn't even reached the entrance of the hall, they could hear Shen Qiang's yelling from afar, and then they saw Shen Xiang hurriedly entering the door with a look of sorrow and spring green. They clearly saw them, but they didn't stop and so on. they.
Shen Wen asked in a low voice: "My sister looked a little unhappy."
Shen Zhuo also whispered: "In the past we used to go out on horseback and always took her with her. But now she is older, and...today she must know that we are out of town..." They went to see the third prince, and Shen Xiang was almost fourteen years old. So naturally, I can't take Shen Xiang with him, and Shen Wen nodded.
Shen Jian interrupted: "Stop talking! Go eat!"
A few people entered the door, and Shen Wen immediately went to Shen Xiang with a smile, and yelled sweetly: "Sister, I practiced martial arts today" and sat down beside Shen Xiang.
Shen Xiang glanced at Shen Wen unhappily, and frowned slightly and said, "Why don't you go to the martial arts field and still be so fat! Do you really want to be a pig!"
Shen Wen rolled his eyes secretly: What happened to these people always hooked himself to the pig and said coquettishly: "Who is fat?"
The old lady said across the table: "Wen'er is not fat! Looking at you is blessed!"
Shen Wenxin said that this meant that I was fat? Shen Xiang suddenly shot, twisting Shen Wen's face and said: "Look at this meat, it's not fat yet! Hey, why is it oily! What did you eat?"
Shen Wen broke free, wiped his face vigorously, and said aggrieved: "What did my sister say! It's osmanthus oil."
While pulling Shen Qiang to the table, Yang said, "Osmanthus oil is good! Xianger, you have to look like a girl too! Wipe a little too! Qiang'er, come and stand! All the food will fall to the ground in a while! "
Shen Xiang snorted, "Who wants to wipe that thing, it's like eating meat without wiping his mouth!"
Shen Wen's heart jumped secretly, and he could only pouting hard to express his dissatisfaction. Shen Xiang despised it: "Don't pouting, it's really like a pig!"
Yang said: "Quickly stop saying that, the eighteenth woman has changed, and she will look more beautiful! Your sister is not a pig, she may be a concubine Yang in the future!"
This time Shen Wen and Shen Xiang had a chill at the same time, and they said to Yang in unison: "Mother! What are you talking about!"
The old lady was also unhappy and said: "Yes! What kind of concubine! Isn't this for support?"
The Yang hurriedly said: "Even if she looks like she is not really going to be a noble concubine. The palace is not a place for people to stay, let alone the palace, the royal people can't touch it..."
Shen Wen obviously felt that Shen Xiang was depressed, ignored himself, and ate on his own without speaking again.
After dinner, Shen Wen returned to the yard. Su Wanniang had already returned. She replaced Xia Qing, served Shen Wen in the bath, and was ready to sleep.
When the two of them lay on the bed, Su Wanniang asked in a low voice, "That's the Miss Zhang you went to see today." Shen Wen would not entrust anyone with such a confidential matter.
Shen Wen nodded.
Su Wanniang said with emotion: "Don't say people are muddled, they are so energetic, with bright eyes, and extraordinary skills. You can make people misunderstand when you say bad things about others."
Shen Wen puzzled: "How can I be wrong?"
Su Wanniang didn't want to say more, she just said vaguely: "Anyway, you can't just say that people are bad."
Shen Wen said dissatisfied: "He always said that I was bad, and he always called me a pig. Am I so fat?"
Su Wanniang said hurriedly: "Neither fat nor fat!"
Shen Wen said: "Then he is laughing at my love of eating."
Su Wanniang was surprised: "He actually knows that you like eating!"
Shen Wen asked: "This can't be known to people"
Su Wanniang sighed-these two people have a problem. They are so casual with each other. What you can do in the future can only say: "Try not to let people know, these are your private affairs..." She put the following half sentence "Only those close to you should do it." "Know" swallowed back. Shen Wen is still too young, don't let her think over there.
------------------------------------
Indeed, as Shen Wen expected, the prince did not take Huo Luo's beating seriously, mainly because his people didn't realize that Huo Luo was beaten, and really thought that Huo Luo just fell. The prince paid more attention to the fact that his own people led Huo Luo to watch the scenery of the capital, and he was harassed. Is this to vilify your image?
The prince asked: "What did the Shen family do today?"
An staff member said: "Second son Shen and son Third Shen and the third prince ride horses together outside the city, and they did not return to the city until the afternoon. By then, our people had already returned."
The prince pondered: "Did the two of them leave the city to avoid suspicion? Is it pre-designed that there may be their subordinates acting on the scene."
An staff member said: "People from Zhenbeihoufu said that no one else came out of Zhenbeihoufu today, nor did they **** them out of the government."
The prince also wanted to let people look up more. Another staff member said in a low voice: "These days the emperor has to ask me to inquire about the prince's daily affairs. The prince had better move less in the near future."
Among the officials in the East Palace, there were many appointed by the emperor, but the staff who really entered the core of the prince were mostly Taifu Lu's team. There were one or two emperors who had long been subdued by the prince and became double spy.
They couldn't help but obey the prince. From the prince's treatment of other people's families, it can be seen that if they offend the prince, the whole family will die. However, if the prince was reported to the emperor, the prince did not seek to usurp the throne, and the crime was not to the death. Now there is no one else except a prince and the three princes who are not pleasing to the emperor's eyes. If one fails, the reconciliation between father and son is as good as ever, and his own lives and the young and old are equally unsafe. The person who knows the current affairs is a junjie. The current situation is that the prince is the emperor of the future, and the prince and his staff have followed the prince with all their heart.
The prince sneered with a clear sneer: "The emperor father recently recruited a few people. Among them, Meiren Xue from the south of the Yangtze River has caught the eyes of the emperor. It is said that he has been favored for more than ten days. Take precautions!"
An staff member said carefully: "Even if the emperor wants to train a prince, it will take at least ten years. At that time, the foundation of his Highness is already deep, and it is not a concern."
The prince vented his nose and said, "I'm afraid that once the father has a new prince, he won't give it to the palace for more than ten years."
All the staff were silent for a while. If that were the case, they would all have assisted the prince, and they would have no future in the future.
An staff member whispered: "His Royal Highness, don't worry. The emperor has favored many concubines during this period, but no one is pregnant. Maybe, God has already liked the prince..."
The sentence "No one is pregnant yet" touched the prince's heart. If God is pleased with him, how could he have no children! The prince violently put the teacup beside him again and said, "Stop talking!"
Everyone was silent for a while, and the prince thought about his harem and the prince, and was so annoyed that he wanted to violently kill. He tried to calm down his anger and waved his aides to retreat. Seeing those people walk out the door, the prince immediately asked the youngest concubines to be recruited-he needed to take some substantial actions to change his childless status quo.
-------------------------------------
Pingyuan Hou Mansion, in the early morning, Ping Yuan Hou heard that his two sons had left the mansion. Leaving the house, the key is that the eldest son brought all his confidantes who followed him since he was a child, and the second son's close servants. The second son turned out to be the coachman himself and drove out the largest carriage in the family. Ping Yuan Hou has been completely sure: they didn't do a good job!
He took the walnut ball around for a long time and made people stare at the door. They would report the letter as soon as they came back, and first go to Zhang Yunming's place.
Zhang Yunming's study was in a mess. All the books were spread out. Ping Yuanhou frowned for a long time, and finally felt that if Zhang Yunming was hiding something here, let alone others can't find it, Zhang Yunming himself would not find it. Ping Yuan Hou went to Zhang Yunming's bedroom again. Someone cleaned it up and it was naturally cleaner, but he checked the bed and the drawers of various furniture and found nothing.
Ping Yuanhou passed through the Liulin and arrived at Zhang Yunzheng's courtyard.
In order to keep the secret identity of Zhang Yunzheng, there are no less than a hundred people guarding this willow forest. Zhang Yunzheng came back as Zhang Yunming's cousin, and sometimes lived in the guest room, but many key objects were still kept here, and he often went here for the night himself.
Although there are brothers and a family in Pingyuanhou, they are all in another courtyard facing the street. People over there are like ordinary people's homes, relaxed and chaotic. But here, separated by a wall, is another world.
The five hundred families of Pingyuan Hou Mansion were all former sergeants, and they had extremely tight patrols. They surrounded Pingyuan Hou's mansion like iron barrels, and even the wind and grass couldn't escape Ping Yuan Hou's eyes. Now the two brothers are so blatantly messing around under his nose, this is not putting Ping Yuanhou in his eyes!
Several family members guarding the bright spot saluted Ping Yuanhou. Ping Yuanhou was calm on the surface but suffocated in his heart. He first went to Zhang Yunzheng's study and fighting room. The living room is empty, that is, there are some books on the shelves, and there are four treasures of the study on the bookcase. Ping Yuan Hou thinks that Zhang Yunzheng is very good: everything is neatly placed, even the corners are straight, so that people can see clearly at a glance. He quickly flipped through the paper on the book case and found nothing.
Then he went to Zhang Yunzheng's bedroom, which was also very simple and clean. There are several books on the bedside table, one of which looks like Zhang Yunzheng's handwriting. When Ping Yuanhou picked it up, it turned out to be the "Jiangnan Delicacy" that had been bound into a book. He turned it over and wrote in detail and vividly. Ping Yuan Hou thinks that men should persuade others with wisdom and bravery, and write a recipe for food, which is really weak and dejected! He snorted and threw the book on the bed.
The book hit the bedpost with a "boom", and Ping Yuanhou frowned: Li's guilt, the furniture for Zhang Yunzheng was the best, the wood was solid, but the sound sounded a little thin. He leaned over and knocked repeatedly, and finally found one place, which sounded like it was empty. There was no gap on the surface. He got up, saved his strength, and moved the bed a little bit. He looked back at the bed from the wall. Sure enough, a small copper-sized hole was dug from the outside of the main pillar of the bed. You can't see it by the wall.
Ping Yuanhou cursed the little bastard, and carefully took out a few pieces of thin paper from the inside. It was the record of listening to Bei Rong's wall by Zhang Yunzheng, as well as the notes summarized by Shen Jian and the others. He is to keep a record for everyone, in case anything is left out when planning in the future.
After Ping Yuan finished reading, his brows frowned, fearing that he might have missed something. After reading it four or five times from beginning to end, he put the paper back in the hole, and luck pushed the hundreds of kilograms of bed back against the wall.
Ping Yuanhou turned the walnut ball out, let the people take good care of him, and slowly returned to the study. Someone was arranged to enclose the study and guard him outside his wife. Except for the two brothers, no one else was allowed to approach, and then he waited for the two **** to come back.
Li invited Ping Yuanhou to have a meal at lunch. Ping Yuanhou said that he had something to do, so he won't go there. Li didn't doubt that he had him, and even sent someone a meal to Ping Yuanhou. He didn't know that his two precious sons were in danger of being beaten up.
Ping Yuan Hou had lunch, and then it was close to you (5 pm) before someone came to report that the eldest son was back.
Not long after, Zhang Yunming came to the study because he was told that Lord Hou was waiting for him in the study. He was in a relaxed mood, and what he was going to do today was easy: let a few people say something to provoke everyone's indignation, pull the prince's few people out, and let them go, let them go into the woods to drive away the idlers, and give Zhang Yunzheng They clear the place. From upstairs, watching Huo Luo being helped out, he couldn't move on the road, he knew that this matter must be a complete success. From the beginning to the end, he watched from a distance, and didn't show up at all.
After the incident, he took a dozen people to the restaurant and had a big meal. These people are his and Zhang Yunzheng's little friends, and they have been with them to practice martial arts since they were young, and they are considered **** little brothers. If you have done something, you can't give it a good treat.
After eating this lunch for more than an hour, until the afternoon, everyone was full of food and drink. A dozen people, all of them were reduced to zero, and they went back home.
Satisfied, Zhang Yunming entered the study with a smile, and saluted Ping Yuanhou, "I have seen him."
Pingyuan Hou Ping looked at him, playing with a walnut ball in his hand, and did not answer. Zhang Yunming took a closer look at Ping Yuanhou's face this time, and saw that the flat-panel was furious, and he hurriedly said with a smile: "Father, if there is any concern, he said he should go outside and there should be nothing wrong."
Ping Yuanhou still didn't speak. Zhang Yunming looked at the side and prepared to find a chair to sit down. His father seemed to be angry with Zhang Yunzheng. It's no wonder that Zhang Yunzheng now has the status of a cousin. Always go out...
Seeing Zhang Yunming's eyes turned aside, Ping Yuan Hou was so angry that he slapped the walnut ball on the book case, and the two walnut **** shattered at the same time.
Zhang Yunming was taken aback, looked at the book case, and persuaded: "Father, you don't have to be so angry! The walnut ball is actually very cheap. This book case is made of red sandalwood. It is not easy to repair if it is broken..."
Ping Yuanhou shouted in a low voice: "You kneel down for me!"
Zhang Yunming was stunned: "What's wrong with me"
Ping Yuan Hou looked at Zhang Yunming, his teeth clenched with anger: "You know what you did!"
Zhang Yunming thought that Ping Yuanhou was still defrauding him, so he hurriedly said: "What did I do, why is my father so angry?"
Ping Yuan Hou had long known that this son was good at sophistry. At this time, two of the three sentences may be false, one is difficult to distinguish between true and false, and I don't know which sentence it is. Let him kneel directly on the ground, drew out the cushion from under the seat and threw it to Zhang Yunming: "Kneel down! I'll wait for the evil obstacle to come back and say it together!"
Zhang Yunming couldn't think of what happened, so he took the chair cushion and knelt aside, thinking depressed that he hadn't kneeled for many years, as if he was seven or eight years old.
Ping Yuanhou didn't speak anymore, only frowned and sulked. Zhang Yunming was thankful that he came back after a big meal. There was food in his belly, and he didn't panic.
At dinner, Lee knew that her husband was talking with his eldest son, so he sent someone to deliver the meal again. Zhang Yunming knelt for a long time, his knee hurts a little. Seeing Ping Yuanhou started to eat at the case and did not call himself, he took the opportunity to squat on his feet in protest, and waited for Ping Yuanhou to reprimand himself for a few words. Then, probe my father's tone to see what went wrong. But even though Ping Yuan Hou saw Zhang Yunming's laziness in Yu Guangli, he only frowned, but didn't say a word. His heart is messed up now, and it's okay for his elder son to rest.
When it got dark, I came to report that the cousin was back.
Seeing Shen Wen entering the door, Zhang Yunzheng drove the car around the city for a long time. He only ate a meat pie in the afternoon and was half hungry. He entered the mansion gate and hurried over when he heard that Lord Hou asked him to come over. Entering the door of the study, he opened his mouth and said, "I'm hungry, let them quickly get me food! What can I do?"
Pingyuan Hou patted the case: "You still said you want to eat! Go and kneel down for me too!"
Zhang Yunzheng turned his face, and saw Zhang Yunming kneeling there. He was originally hungry, and his anger was aggravated, and he immediately became irritable. He was raised in captivity and had a short temper. It was common to see his parents getting angry. Li could only wipe away his tears. Ping Yuanhou apologized in his heart and never really punished him. As a result, Zhang Yunzheng did not establish a sense of respect for his parents. . Although he saw the reason in the eyes of the sky and forgave his parents in his heart, the kind of courtesy to his parents cultivated by a regular family since childhood cannot be established.
Zhang Yunzheng shouted at Ping Yuanhou: "What did my brother do wrong!" He walked over to pull Zhang Yunming, he used to hate Zhang Yunming the most, but he also relied on Zhang Yunming the most. Usually he is fine with how he bullies Zhang Yunming, but if he sees that Zhang Yunming has been wronged by someone else, he will definitely go to hold on to the injustice.
Ping Yuanhou was so angry that he pointed at Zhang Yunzheng and yelled: "You wicked obstacle! What did you do! Tell me!"
Zhang Yunzheng This is the first time I have seen Zhang Yunming kneeling. This brother has always been a role model in the family. How sensible it is, that it has fallen to this point today, this thing must have happened! Zhang Yunzheng thought that his father probably knew the whole story from a mouthful of people, his brother just took the responsibility, and before Zhang Yunming stopped him, he stubbornly said, "I don't need my brother to hold on to what I did! No! Just pretend to be an **** and beat the fire Luo. What's so great!
Ping Yuanhou was stunned on the spot: "You...you pretend to be an eunuch... you beat Beirong Khan's second son Huolo!"
Zhang Yunzheng raised his head: "Of course, he wailed and couldn't get up sitting in the water! He must have broken seven or eight ribs!" Zhang Yunming didn't even pull Zhang Yunzheng's sleeve to stop him.
Ping Yuanhou shook his hand and pointed to Zhang Yunzheng: "You bastard! You are trying to let us kill the door!"
Zhang Yunming said hurriedly: "It's not that serious! It's just a young boy's unruly temperament, and my younger brother is not convinced when he looks at Huo Luo who is pulling..."
Ping Yuanhou cursed at Zhang Yunming: "Who are you lying to! I won't make it clear today, I will kill you!"
Zhang Yunzheng immediately slammed his lips: "I don't want to kill the door like this. People are also trying to kill our family! If you don't want to save the whole family, you want to kill my brother. Whose father are you!" He usually knows. No matter how you poke your parents' heart, everything you say is thorny.
Ping Yuanhou was trembling with anger: "What nonsense are you talking about and who catches you so much tormenting will cause the disaster!"
Zhang Yunzheng stared blankly: "Why did that stinky Taoist make you raise me as a daughter! Why don't you have to think about it! Just circle me as he said, and sit humiliatedly and wait for death!" He opened his eyes. , I felt that there was nothing more reasonable than this. Once the answer was revealed, the riddle seemed so clear and unmistakable.
Ping Yuan Hou was stunned, and while his face turned pale, he shouted, "What do you mean by this!"
Zhang Yunming desperately pulled Zhang Yunzheng's sleeves: "Let me tell you! Don't argue with your father! Otherwise he won't believe you!" Zhang Yunzheng knew this was his brother telling him that he couldn't tell him all, so he closed his mouth furiously.
Ping Yuan Hou looked at Zhang Yunming and said viciously: "You'd better tell the truth, otherwise I..."
Zhang Yunzheng wanted to open his mouth again, and Zhang Yunming hurriedly pulled Zhang Yunzheng to stop him from speaking, and said to Ping Yuanhou: "I'll tell you, dad, listen to this reason, okay?"
Ping Yuan Hou nodded, his face was extremely gloomy, Zhang Yunming pointed to his knees, Ping Yuan Hou nodded, Zhang Yunming stood up with Zhang Yunzheng's support, "Ouch", Zhang Yunzheng helped him to sit down on a chair and squatted down. While rubbing his knees.
Ping Yuanhou cursed, "You are just taking this time to make up a lie! Hurry up!"
Zhang Yunming nodded hurriedly and said, "Last year, when we were in the south, we met someone on a mountain one day..."
Ping Yuan Hou shouted: "A lie!"
Zhang Yunming smiled and said, "He looked at me and said that I still have six years of life..."
Ping Yuanhou shouted again: "Lie!"
Zhang Yunming then smiled shamelessly: "I said the same. He looked at his brother again and said that the old-fashioned man is really not enough. He only wants to save one person, but he doesn't want to save the family.
Ping Yuanhou did not yell immediately this time, frowning in thought, and said for a long while: "What he said..."
Zhang Yunming nodded and said: "What he meant was that one day our house would be ransacked, all males would be killed, women would be trafficked into slaves, and his younger brother would escape his life because he was raised as a girl..."
Ping Yuanhou shouted: "Fart!" He saw Zhang Yunming smiling and looking at himself, staring and said: "You don't have to arouse me, anyway, you are all grown up, it doesn't matter if I tell you. Although I have resigned from the military, many of them have been loyal His men are willing to follow me for a long time. Many of them are in or near the capital, and there are 10,000 or 20,000 people. I have been taking care of them all these years-otherwise, why should I marry a wealthy wife? This will help me with all my strength. If there is something, I will say hello, they will come to ensure that our family leaves safely. I am also crowded in the south, and I will be able to survive by retreating to one side. I have arranged this, how could it be possible for people to destroy the door. Why don't I save the whole family!" He glared at Zhang Yunzheng fiercely-he was so excited to tell the truth.
Zhang Yunming's smile disappeared. He looked at Ping Yuanhou earnestly and said: "Father, the man said that when his younger brother was 21 years old, war broke out in the border, the internal traitor should be combined with the outside, the whole army of Shen Jiajun was wiped out, and Zhenbeihou took the eldest son and second son. After the battle died at the border, Bei Rong drove straight into the capital!"
Ping Yuanhou's anger, which had been caused by his anger, instantly turned into chills. He pressed his hands on the table once, his lips closed tightly, and he stared at Zhang Yunming.
Zhang Yunming went on to say: "When my father saw the country's peril, he asked for his orders as reinforcements. He gathered most of the private soldiers from the old ministry. My mother devoted all her furnishings to dowry and organized the army for his father. The three emperors supervised the army, and I was the pioneer. The third son and eldest daughter of Zhenbei Hou all uprised. The soldiers marched with their father. The northern battle was strong, and his father died in the battle. The eldest daughter of Zhenbeihou died in suicide. The third son of Shen and I broke through with the remnants of the three princes, but were surrounded by the court's elite soldiers, and died through 10,000 arrows. , This is because the prince pointed out that the three princes were entangled with each other in Zhenbeihou and Hepingyuanhou. The emperor sent the Yulin army to wipe out the remnants of the two prefectures. The emperor then ransacked our two prefectures. His mother protected the little brother and was pierced to death by a long sword. Escaped his life as a woman, by then, he would be twenty-two years old..."Shen Wen had already filled up all the details for them.
Ping Yuan Hou stood up abruptly and said with a trembling voice, "This is impossible!"
Zhang Yunming calmly replied: "Father, if he wants, he can treat these words as a'story'. It's just father, don't you think this story is too reasonable and reasonable. In case, father, if this'story' comes true, Zhenbeihou is dead. , Bei Rong attacked, will you take our family to escape?" To show solemnity, he changed his name.
Chapter 66
Ping Yuanhou's eyes became out of focus, as if immersed in imagination.
Zhang Yunming waited for a while, and then asked in a soft voice but clearly speaking again: "Father, at that time, Bei Rong went deep into my hinterland, and the capital was in danger. The soldiers of the Sifang Qin Kings were not sent or could not reach, you would let your soldiers guard Do we run away"
Pingyuan Hou returned to God and murmured: "If this is the case, the country will be defeated, the lives will be burnt, and the nest will be covered. How can my family be spared if there is an egg? Besides, as a military commander, how can I not go out to meet No, I can't take my family and run away. I must invite the righteous soldiers to fight the enemy to the death."
Zhang Yunming nodded and said, "Then, what that person said is very likely to happen. She has never seen Dad. In these years, Dad has released the military power, kept a low profile, ignored political affairs, and the military commander in the DPRK is not the only one. Why would she say that when something really happened, Dad will fight, Dad only told us today that there are sergeants with Dad around the capital, but how could she say that Dad can summon volunteers?"
Ping Yuanhou frowned, his lips pursed into a line.
undefinedZhang Yunming made persistent efforts: "Father, think about the prince, is this'story' too reasonable and reasonable" at the beginning, he was shocked by the hidden inevitability of this incident, and believed Zhang Yunzheng's words.
Ping Yuanhou was pale, with cold sweat on his hands, stood up and walked back and forth in the room. After a long while, he suddenly stopped, ignoring Zhang Yunming, but put his face in front of Zhang Yunzheng and asked, "Who is the one who said this!"
Just as Zhang Yunzheng was about to open his mouth, Zhang Yunming said before Zhang Yunzheng: "It's a... someone who is not familiar with Daddy!" At the same time, he flicked Zhang Yunzheng's arm.
Zhang Yunzheng blinked and nodded. Dad has never seen that little liar, shouldn't it be a lie. If it is a little liar, then Dad would definitely not believe it.
Ping Yuanhou glanced at Zhang Yunming angrily, hating him for destroying his surprise, so he could only ask Zhang Yunming again: "This person, where is he now?"
Zhang Yunming calmly said: "She doesn't want to show her face, let us swear that she can't tell others her identity."
This is understandable, those master hermits like to evasive. Ping Yuan Hou pulled the corner of his mouth and paced around the room again. He was suspicious by nature, and Zhang Yunming made the person who said this very mysterious, and he couldn't help making speculations.
After a stick of incense, Ping Yuanhou stopped and said: "The person who told the'story' must be related to the Zhenbeihou Mansion!"
Zhang Yunming and Zhang Yunzheng glanced at each other, and Zhang Yunming asked, "Why does my father say that?"
Ping Yuan Hou hummed: "Don't tell me what a stranger you met on the mountain!"
Zhang Yunming smiled indifferently, not at all ashamed of telling an unsuccessful lie.
Ping Yuanhou paced slowly back to the table and said slowly: "This person can see the first opportunity, and cannot bear to see this tragedy. He must have a plan. He actually did it a long time ago, since it was revealed that the prince was right. The second Miss Shen of the Zhenbeihou Mansion began to be bad. The queen poisoned the three princes in public. During the hunt, she broke the assassination of the three princes and destroyed the appearance of the four princesses. After the abolition... these things are not good for the prince but benefit Zhenbeihou. Mansion, therefore, this person must be related to Zhenbeihou Mansion."
Zhang Yunming and Zhang Yunzheng did not dare to speak, they felt like walking on thin ice while listening to Ping Yuanhou's analysis.
Ping Yuanhou went on to say: "He probably brought you two in recently... No, last year, he asked you to buy food..."
Zhang Yunming and Zhang Yunzheng are rare and honest at the same time. The cat looks at Ping Yuanhou with alert and obedient attention: The cause of this is that Shen Wen came to the mansion to see Zhang Yunzheng, and Ping Yuanhou will speculate on Shen Wen next step. Now, if it is discovered that Shen Wen said that a girl under the age of twelve, Ping Yuan Hou would probably not buy it...
Ping Yuan Hou continued: "You went to buy food because the youngest daughter of Zhenbeihou said some nonsense about dreaming, and let you use it as an excuse..."
The two brothers are not breathless anymore. They have been in contact with Shen Wen recently and have fully accepted that Shen Wen is a man of foresight and big plans, but they want to make Ping Yuan Hou, a man in his forties, who has been on the battlefield. People believe in Shen Wen, that is simply fantastic! If Ping Yuan Hou has his own ideas, how to manipulate two people in the middle of this matter in the future, who should I listen to?
Ping Yuanhou then inferred: "That person must have instructed Zhenbeihou's little daughter to come and get in touch with you! When you come back from the south, you will leave the house frequently, meet him, and even give him gifts!"
The two brothers secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Ping Yuanhou didn't notice, and then said to himself: "That person is definitely not Zhenbeihou. Shen Hou is stubborn and stupid. He walked all the way to the dark. He is not here now. It must not be his eldest son either, that child is simply made out of Zhenbeihou's model, he is not very clever..."
Both Zhang Yunming and Zhang Yunzheng were silent, waiting for Ping Yuan Hou to say something before making a fuss. Ping Yuan Hou shook his head: "Although his second son is a smiling tiger, there is nothing profound to look at. The third cub is smarter than the two older ones, but he is not yet an adult, and how capable..."
Ping Yuanhou frowned: "It should be a woman who can instigate the second lady. Isn't it possible that the elder daughter is impossible! That child is too young and has a tendon... It's even more impossible for Yang's, she is almost a shrew, can't keep words... Old lady Maybe... But Gu's heart is soft and unbroken, not like..."
Zhang Yunzheng became impatient: "Father, don't guess, anyway, that's what it is now! Many things have already been clues!"
Zhang Yunming thought that Ping Yuan Hou would reprimand Zhang Yunzheng, but Ping Yuan Hou unexpectedly nodded his head and said: "If you said that last year, there is still no evidence, but now, the prince wants to send grain and iron to Bei Rong privately. It's very suspicious..."
Zhang Yunming asked in surprise: "How does Dad know this?"
Ping Yuanhou asked, "Isn't this something you know and I wrote it down?"
Zhang Yunzheng shouted: "Father! You went to my bedroom to look through my things!"
Ping Yuanhou waved his hand indifferently: "Then what's the matter, your kid's life is all given by me. See how your things are, I haven't counted you on the account of deceiving your parents!"
Zhang Yunzheng was angry: "If I starve to death, I will return my life to you!"
Ping Yuan Hou said indifferently: "You are not allowed to eat unless you make it clear! You are such a big man, you can't die if you are hungry for a meal or two!"
Zhang Yunming hurriedly interceded and said, "It's better to give him food, or else he always quarrels and beats others if he fails."
Ping Yuanhou said: "No! Tell me what you are going to do now"
Zhang Yunzheng said irritably, "What else can I do, of course, is to be a bandit!"
Ping Yuanhou said, "You mean to pull the draft..." At this point, Ping Yuanhou coughed artificially, raised his shoulders, and after sitting again on the bookcase, he half raised his chin, his expression a bit arrogant. Looking at the two brothers.
Zhang Yunzheng asked Zhang Yunming: "Father what does this mean?"
Zhang Yunming asked in turn: "You just said that the grass was a bandit, did you want to pull the bandit to steal the prince's food and iron?"
Zhang Yunzheng said: "Yeah...little...that person said there would be mountain bandits and Lianghu water bandits..."
Ping Yuan Hou agreed with him and said: "It's easy to transfer this way. It's robbed on land. It's a good idea to transport it to the ship, in the rivers and lakes. Where can he find it? Where will he put it?
Zhang Yunzheng said: "She said she wants to build a wine cellar."
Ping Yuanhou suddenly frowned, "So much food can be used to raise soldiers, and can be sold in exchange for money, why does he use it to make wine and there is still a lot of wine..." He fumbled under the bookcase, opened the drawer, and opened a box. , Took out two jade balls, put them in his hands and turned them around. He stopped and suddenly blurted out: "It's vicious!" He looked at Zhang Yunming and Zhang Yunzheng, and said, "This person is cruel, you guys. But trust him"
Zhang Yunming nodded involuntarily when thinking of seeing Shen Wen for the first time, she looked like a fat duck. Zhang Yunzheng thought that Shen Wen had confessed all the causes and consequences to him, even if she was vicious, it would be excusable, and nodded.
Ping Yuanhou took a deep breath: "This person is unfathomable, I can only guess two or three. If you have any doubts in the future, you should get out immediately and tell me so I can make arrangements."
Zhang Yunzheng was straightforward and couldn't help but ask: "Why does Dad say so because she wants to build a wine cellar?"
Ping Yuanhou sighed: "If I hadn't read about things and people's history, I wouldn't have thought of this. This person wants so much food to make wine. If he wants to sell money in the future, he will use wine as a weapon. If he wants money, I think it must be. I will ask you for it, but I don't need to sell wine, the business is trivial, and the money turnover is easy to show. Then the wine brewed is a weapon."
Zhang Yunzheng asked: "How does wine become a weapon"
Ping Yuan Hou lowered his voice and said: "There are records in the books that the wine brewed by someone in a certain place is strong and unusual, and it burns when it is on fire, and the water is unstoppable. When it is splashed on the water, it continues to burn."
Zhang Yunming suddenly said: "That fat...that person will make this kind of wine..."
Ping Yuanhou nodded and said: "In the future, he must go to fire!"
Thinking of the flames everywhere and the screams of people, Zhang Yunming couldn't help but shiver, echoing Ping Yuanhou's sigh: "It's so cruel."
Zhang Yunzheng poked his lips: "If this can prevent you from dying on the battlefield, I think it's good."
Ping Yuan Hou sighed: "People should always be compassionate..."
Zhang Yunzheng stood up and interrupted: "She said she wanted to be'guilty and punished.' It must be those people who deserved the crime and died more than guilty! Father, what else do you have, I am starving to death, I really have to eat!" He looked in the eyes of the sky. When my mother died, I felt that the other party deserved it.
Ping Yuan Hou remembered the idea he had just now, and then picked up the shelf and started spinning the jade ball.
Zhang Yunzheng looked at Zhang Yunming: "Why do you show up like this?"
Zhang Yunming said helplessly: "Aren't you talking about mountain bandits and water bandits?"
Zhang Yunzheng nodded and said, "Yes, but why did Dad start to tune in?"
Zhang Yunming sighed: "Why didn't you listen to what Dad said? Didn't he say that he had resigned from the military, but is there still someone under him?"
Zhang Yunzheng suddenly said: "Oh, Dad wants us to use him."
Zhang Yunming sighed: "This is indeed the best choice. Dad's people must be reliable. They used to be sergeants, so we don't need to find someone now."
Zhang Yunzheng said, "That's great!" Turning around and saying to Ping Yuanhou, "Father, borrow us from hundreds of people!"
Pingyuan Hou Ba said: "No one taught you how to be polite, how do you say this?"
Zhang Yunzheng was anxious: "I'm hungry! I don't have time to spend with you, what do you want!"
Ping Yuanhou said solemnly: "I want you to tell me every step. If there is a reason, you must make it clear. If there are any consequences, you must tell the consequences!"
Zhang Yunzheng looked at Zhang Yunming, Zhang Yunming nodded, and Zhang Yunzheng said, "Then let me tell you, I'll go to eat first!" By the way, Ping Yuan Hou gave a casual salute, and Ping Yuan Hou waved his hand helplessly, and Zhang Yunzheng ran away. .
Ping Yuan Hou frowned as he watched Zhang Yunzheng close the door of the study, and asked Zhang Yunming, "He was so carelessly raised. You really think that person is fine."
Zhang Yunming shook his head firmly: "It's okay, she...she's a nice guy. Just..."
Ping Yuan Hou immediately asked vigilantly: "What is it! He is threatening you! You have to tell me why your brother went to beat Polo!"
Zhang Yunming sighed: "This is a long story. A while ago, the Bei Rong envoy did not arrive, she said that Huo Luo is a person who bears grudges, and will beg for marriage in the future, and the prince will let the emperor marry the fifth princess to him, she said the fifth princess He Fan soon died..."
Ping Yuanhou said "Oh": "That's why your brother pretended to be the **** of the Fourth Princess to beat him! If the prince does not mention marrying the princess, he can still keep his sister. But I read what you remember, the prince's person He told Huo Luo that he could ask for a princess in the future. With this matter, Huo Luo would ask for the fourth princess! The prince had to count the fifth princesses, but his own sister would be lost. This plan is very vicious!" He frowned. Look at Zhang Yunming: "You shouldn't be exposed in this plan, why are you sighing?"
Zhang Yunming was a little embarrassed: "She said that she did what she did and saved the fifth princess. She... When the third son of Shen asked to marry my sister, I couldn't speak ill of it."
Ping Yuan Hou puzzled: "He wants to save the five princesses, what's up with you in this?"
Zhang Yunming's face was a little red, and he didn't dare to look at Ping Yuanhou: "No...no me...what's the matter."
Ping Yuan Hou tilted his head slightly and stared at Zhang Yunming. The jade ball in his hand rattled. Zhang Yunming's ears were red, and he said carefully: "Daddy rest and I will go to bed"
Ping Yuanhou nodded, Zhang Yunming secretly relieved, turned around and walked out, and almost walked to the door, he heard Ping Yuanhou slowly say: "You want to marry the fifth princess"
Zhang Yunming stopped, turned around stiffly, and said with a smile: "Who wants...who wants" marriage matters should be decided by the parents. If you move your mind, you will fall behind.
Ping Yuanhou turned the jade ball: "He must say he will let you marry in the future, right?"
Zhang Yunming lowered his head and hummed, his shoulders drooped, looking decadent.
Ping Yuan Hou cut out: "The fifth princess is also a girl, nothing." He regarded himself very highly, and naturally felt that his son was worthy of everyone. What's wrong with the husband, he can't enter the official position as a husband, and wronged his son.
Zhang Yunming didn't say anything: that charming charming, natural and generous, sweet and shy... how can it be nothing?
Ping Yuanhou sighed: "Not now, wait two years, and see what the emperor meant..." There was no words in the second half of his words. With that "story", the idea is different again. Ping Yuan Hou felt that he was on guard, and the original ease of life was gone.
Zhang Yunming said hurriedly, "Don't worry about this matter. Dad, you said, can my sister marry the third son of Shen?"
Ping Yuan Hou thoughtfully said, "It seems that this person is really towards the Zhenbeihou Mansion. If it was before, I would probably not agree. Now, if the future will really be as he said, we should get in touch with each other. Shen San, that little bastard, is quite clever, and worthy of your sister. Moreover, Shen Hou, who does not love beauty, and his son will not be a bad person..." He looked at Zhang Yunming, "Your sister's marriage is up to you. Mother decides."
Zhang Yunming said: "The man said that she would naturally let her mother consider San Gongzi Shen at that time, but I just don't say bad things." But without saying that I can't tell my father! I'll let my father come forward to stir up you!
Hou Pingyuan smiled: "Then we will wait to see how he makes your mother consider this matter."
Zhang Yunming smiled and asked: "Why did Dad lend us soldiers"
Ping Yuanhou sneered: "How can we let those grain weapons and iron weapons be transported to Beirong! Naturally, we have to do this secretly, but one day we are really found out. We will tear up our faces and explain it clearly. It is also reasonable. !"
Zhang Yunming hurriedly said: "Father, don't think about using this method, it will attract the emperor and the prince's hatred!"
Ping Yuanhou sighed: "I don't understand. So I agreed to give it to you people and use the identity of a bandit to rob."
Zhang Yunming was relieved and said: "Thank you for your accommodating father."
Ping Yuan Hou asked: "The people in the Zhenbeihou Mansion know anyone other than the second silly lady"
Zhang Yunming did not dare to correct Ping Yuanhou and said, "The three sons."
Ping Yuan Hou asked: "I didn't tell Shen Hou."
Zhang Yunming shook his head: "Second Young Master Shen said he was afraid of his righteousness."
Ping Yuan Hou smiled: "This kind of person, whoever marries him, is unlucky, others are at the border all day long, and his wife, children, women and children are all in the capital. I don't know when to keep it..." I can think of the "story". He sighed again: "But if something happens to him, we won't have a good life."
Zhang Yunming also smiled and said, "Then let's help him. Dad, you should rest like this for the first time."
Ping Yuanhou let out a long sigh of relief and waved to him: "Remember to tell me the situation in detail every day, every day!"
Zhang Yunming saluted and left comfortably.
Ping Yuan Hou sat in the study for a long time, carefully recalling the "future" mentioned by his two sons, and comparing those pages of records, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that the development of the situation was unstoppable: bantering from outsiders, fighting for the throne, and breaking his hands and feet. ...Those events are so tightly linked that people can't escape.
He frowned and muttered to himself: "What would that person do?"
Like the Fourth Prince, Ping Yuanhou thought that the person hiding in the dark must be a very old man with a high level of Taoism. He might be a woman, but he never thought that he would be a child.
He believed that at the last moment, that person would definitely contact him formally. Although he is no longer in charge, if he "predicts" that Zhongzhen Beihou Mansion and Heping Yuanhou Mansion will be victimized at the same time, the people from that Zhenbeihou Mansion will definitely come to unite his forces. Now, the man only instigated his two sons to make a small fight, which shows that he didn't want to get involved. Then I was preparing on the side, helping the two sons, and moving forward depending on the situation.
He picked up the pen, wrote a list carefully, and repeatedly sketched it. After finishing writing, he put the list on a candle.
It was late at night when Ping Yuan Hou returned to the bedroom. Tonight, Li was reading the account book and had not slept yet. Seeing him coming, Li put down the thick account book in his hand, got up with sleepiness, changed his clothes, and asked in a low voice: "Hou Ye has anything important to stay so late."
Li didn't dare to sleep because she knew that the study was fenced up and only let her two sons in. She asked people to find out that the two sons went in one after another, but they didn't come out for a long time. She was still worried about whether her two sons were in trouble, but at night, people said that the "cousin" was hungry and came out arguing about making fried dumplings and egg dumpling soup. Eat a bowl of leftovers first. The other one came out with a big smile, took out his fan, and greeted the gang waiting for him to return to the yard together. It sounds like these two rebels should be fine. Although this matter passed silently, Li still wanted to hear Ping Yuanhou talk to see if he was really angry because of what the two sons did.
Thinking of Li's tragic end in that "story", Ping Yuanhou shook Li's hand tightly and sighed, "Madam has worked hard."
Li was embarrassed by the sudden intimacy of Ping Yuanhou: "What is the hard work of the concubine, Master Hou has been busy for a day, and the food delivered is good. Those two wicked sons can anger Master Hou."
Ping Yuan Hou took Li and sat by the bed, and said, "Madam gave me such a good child, how can I be angry." Not too much!
Li smiled: "It sounds like there's no such thing as Lord Hou."
Ping Yuanhou was still in a heavy heart, and shook his head and said: "These years, I have been relying on my wife to support this family and me. Madam feels wronged." The story says that Li will do his best to organize his army in the future. , And died protecting the youngest son, Ping Yuanhou was touched in his heart and sighed: "How can I be such a beautiful lady!"
Li blushed, and whispered: "What Hou Ye said is the blessing of the concubine." Seeing Pingyuan Hou's eyebrows were unrelentingly depressed, fearing that he would not believe his words, Li continued: "At the beginning, in the concubine, I've heard of the prestige of Lord Hou, a young general, brave and invincible, how many times he committed danger alone, and returned in **** battles... At that time, my concubine thought that the hero of the world, Lord Hou was the number one. I heard that Lord Hou was going to marry. My wife, my concubine begged my mother..." For so many years, now that he is old, Li is embarrassed to say that. When he was young, he did not have this face. Now she feels embarrassed when she speaks: At that time she heard that Ping Yuan Hou said that he wanted to marry a rich woman. For the first time in his life, he was glad that his family was the richest man in the south of the Yangtze River. He secretly prayed that Ping Yuan Hou could choose himself for money.
Ping Yuan Hou shook Li's hand with both hands: "But who knows married a nameless..."
The Li hurriedly stopped and said: "Master Hou can't say bad things about himself. I don't know who is the concubine of Master Hou. Master Hou is thinking about how many arrangements can be made to keep our family. The concubine must marry Master Hou. In order to have a life-free worry, even with my parents, I can not worry about the burden of money."
Ping Yuan Hou thought that if, as the "story" said, he hadn't actually saved his family. With most of his subordinates leaving Beijing to fight the enemy, his family was killed by others, and his eyes were red with anger for a while, and he clasped Li's hand tightly and did not speak.
Seeing Ping Yuanhou's expression with sadness, Li thought that Ping Yuanhou had misunderstood what he meant, and it sounded like he was expecting Ping Yuanhou to protect his family before marrying Ping Yuanhou. "Of course, my concubine didn't say that Master Hou was good for this. At that time... the concubine was in the south, and I had no chance to meet Master Hou, so my father and mother decided to kiss him. Many sisters said that the martial artist had no appearance, and I will do it in the future. Regret... The bridal chamber took off his hijab, and the concubine took a look at Master Hou. Master Hou was so handsome and as bright as a star, and he was kind to others. It was a hundred times better than what the concubine had originally thought... The concubine felt that it was Hou at that time. Lord is dead, there will be no regrets in this life..." Money can give you whatever you want, the feelings of youth! Lee blushed.
Ping Yuan Hou was moved by the pain in his heart, holding Li by his side, and whispered: "Madam, I am ashamed of my husband! Madam is as beautiful as a fairy, with such a good posture, married my incompetent husband..." Finally let down about you!
What happened to my husband today is in such a bad mood, Li hurriedly stopped Ping Yuan Hou Dao: "Master Hou must not say that! My concubine has been married to Master Hou for almost 20 years, and I am in love with Master Hou. Flying as fast, except for being guilty for that child, there is nothing to worry about. Although my father prefers me a little bit, he spends more time with the dowry, but the sisters in the concubine's family, which are not full of gold and silver, are married to rich and powerful wives. My housekeeper came back from Jiangnan and told me about many sisters. Their concubines and concubines had been beaten up in smoke. Some had already retreated into the back hall and began to eat fast and reciting Buddha. Some were mean and unkind, and even killed their lives. She is no longer the happy and innocent girl. Master Hou, my concubine can stay with him in such a calm manner. I don't know how many generations of cultivation blessing it is!"
Hou Pingyuan hugged Li and said: "In my life, it is really lucky to have a wife."
Li said in a low voice: "When the concubine gets old, Lord Hou may find that there are many other women who are younger and more beautiful..."
Hou Ping Yuan was puzzled and said: "Since I married my wife, why can't I see other women anymore? Please madam tell the truth, are there other women in this world?"
Li chuckled, his eyes lingered on Ping Yuanhou's face, and he pulled his voice and asked, "Is it..."
Ping Yuanhou nodded firmly: "Yes! My wife is a woman in my eyes. She is really pitiful for her husband. She must be sick. She will never get better in this life. Madam must take good care of me."
Li held back a smile and said coyly: "Don't worry, Master Hou, your concubine will take care of Master Hou."
The two held hands and faced each other. Li was surprised to see that Ping Yuanhou smiled with tears in his eyes, perhaps embarrassed. Ping Yuanhou immediately got up to wash, and then the light went out.
----------------------------
Huo Luo got up the next day and found that the nose he had been beaten the day before was swollen, and even his face was swollen. This is nothing, the terrible thing is the severe pain in the front of the chest, and the pain is even more unbearable. Every time he breathed, it was like thousands of needles, so he could only breathe slowly. Drink water carefully, you have to swallow with small mouthfuls when you eat. Unlike in the past, he occasionally got a knife and gun on his body, took a deep breath, and forbearance would be able to forget most of it. This kind of pain every second made him unable to speak loudly. He clearly had phlegm in his throat, and his chest was uncomfortable, but because it was too painful to cough, he could only endure it.
He has never been so useless after he has grown so long. The anger in his heart and the pain in his body made Fire Luo's mood exceptionally violent. If he hadn't dared to stand up violently, he really wanted to kill dozens of people to relieve his anger!
Just as Huo Luo was so uncomfortable to die in the house, the soldiers in front came to report that the prince of the Southern Dynasty had sent another person!
Fire Luo resisted the pain and asked the translator to bring people in. The prince's people first expressed their condolences to the drop of water in the Fire Luo Temple yesterday. Fire Luo kept his face cold and did not speak-he wanted to cough as soon as he opened his mouth, so he could only endure the politeness of the interpreter.
Then the prince's people said that they should not break contact in the future. After the northern border is settled, Huo Luo can ask Tugu Khan to marry the emperor's princess for him.
Fire Luo listened to the translation, and a ball of flame burned from his chest, burning his face and neck red. The prince thought he was just shy, so he didn't care.
Fire Luo shouted in his heart: I want to marry that fourth princess! I want to kill her! No, drag her to death with a horse! ...But he knew that he had no right to ask for marriage, and he had to be asked by his father. Now if he shows his mind, not only can the other party ignore it, the four princesses are so contemptuous of him, and if he doesn't get married right away, he won't have a chance again.
The beasts on the grassland are inherently cunning. The reckless Fire Luo completely concealed his intentions. However, he said a few words to the people sent by the prince not to break his trust in the future, and he must deliver grains and ironware on time, etc. .
The prince's people promised that there was not much food for 300,000 catties, and a large family usually had two or three million catties for a granary. With such a small price, Huoluo's cooperation is worth the price.
The two sides said goodbye. As soon as the prince's person left the yard, Huo Luo couldn't help coughing and vomiting a mouthful of blood. Then he wailed in pain, his face was pale, his head was sweaty, and he was relieved for a long time before breathing again. Get angry. He muttered "revenge" in his heart over and over again: Sooner or later, one day, his suffering will be returned to the fourth princess ten times a hundred times! That eunuch, he wants to chop him into mud!
On another day, the two sides signed the covenant, which was nothing more than the Southern Dynasty's recognition of Tugu Khan, the lord of Northern Xinjiang, and Tugu Khan respected the Southern Dynasty. The emperor did not promise any grains-no one has defeated anyone. Why did the two countries have not even established official trade exchanges as gifts? The borders often checked the goods that passed. In this way, the 300,000 catties of grain and those weapons and iron tools that the prince privately promised were very precious to the northern Xinjiang that did not produce grain and iron.
Huo Luo didn't have any impression of figures at all. His lion opened his mouth and asked for prices. The prince's people bargained for 300,000 catties of grain, which was less than one-tenth of what he had mentioned, but he thought it was pretty good. Bei Rong mainly eats meat, not farming. Instead, grains are non-staple food. Even if there is a little grain, even if he doesn't come for such a trip, let alone some iron tools and weapons.
The covenant is certain, and Huo Luo will not visit the capital anymore, and will immediately prepare to return north. In the following nights, the two brothers who came to listen to the wall heard nothing. Only on the last night, Zhang Yunming and Zhang Yunzheng came, and Zhang Yunming was left in the outer courtyard. Zhang Yunzheng heard the prince seeing him off, and mentioned that the grain and iron items shipped should be sent to northern Xinjiang in the spring of next year, and did not say a specific schedule.
Zhang Yunzheng immediately told his father and brother the news when he came back. At Guanyi Pavilion the next day, Zhang Yunming passed this sentence to Shen Zhuo.
On the day that the Bei Rong envoy left, the four elder brothers of the Zhang family and the Shen family gathered on the second floor of the Huanyin Pavilion again, watching from the window.
Although Huo Luo's nose is not so swollen, there is still a blackish blue in the middle, the bridge of the nose is obviously interrupted, and the nose becomes a little crooked. He didn't want to get out of the way, so he rode a horse, but because of the pain in his ribs, he could only bend his back slightly, frown and endure the pain, completely without the arrogance he had when he first entered Beijing.
Shen Jian whispered to Zhang Yunming: "It seems that your cousin beat him hard, it's a pity that we didn't see it."
Zhang Yunming chuckled, unfolded the fan in his hand, and shook it lightly and said, "My brother, he has heavy hands."
Maybe it was because he felt something, Huo Luo looked up and saw a few brightly dressed young people upstairs by the roadside. They were all as straight as loose, looking at him condescendingly, with obviously ill-intentioned expressions. Although they were not wearing the same clothes as last time, Huo Luo still recognized that this was the person he ridiculed when he entered the city.
Huo Luo glared again, but as soon as he was about to straighten his chest, he felt his chest hurt like a heavy blow. He could only grit his teeth and hold his chest, and looked at those people more.
Several people at the window sill gave bright smiles at the same time, including Zhang Yunzheng who was standing in the shadow behind Zhang Yunming also grinning sneer. It is a pity that except for seeing Zhang Yunming with two rows of white teeth faintly behind him, Huo Luo couldn't see his face clearly, and naturally couldn't recognize the "eunuch" who had beaten him so hard that he was watching him leave.
Huo Luo turned his face back, and for a moment, he also wondered if he was being beaten by these people. But after thinking about it carefully, I don't think so. What happened that day was completely caused by him. When the other party moved his hand cruelly, he drew out the dagger first, and the **** didn't use all his strength at first. In other words, if I had known that **** had a high martial arts skill, I would definitely not be so rashly challenged. If these people are interested, they should come and find fault with themselves.
Huo Luo's mind turned to that matter again, and in a daze, he saw the woman's extremely beautiful half-face and the eyes that made him crazy... For a while, blood rushed to his throat, and he almost lost his breath. The streets of the capital were extremely crowded and long, and he really wanted to burn it all up!
The team of the Bei Rong envoy finally left the gate of the capital and the people watching the excitement. The fire basil held the reins and motioned for others to help him off the horse. As soon as his feet hit the ground, he bent over and vomited a mouthful of blood on the ground, and then the pain was so painful that he could not straighten his waist. After a long time, he was helped by someone into the carriage-his ribs could not stand him right away. After the bumps, he just came out of the capital on horseback. He has exhausted all his perseverance, and now he can only lie down and go back.
On the hillside not far from here, the old Taoist priest stared at the scene dumbfounded. When the team passed by, the little Taoist priest looked at the expression of the old Taoist priest and asked incomprehensibly: "Master, what's the matter, you look like you have seen a ghost."
The old Taoist shook his head in disbelief, and asked the little Taoist in a low voice, "Did you see anything?"
The little Taoist tilted his neck: "Should I see something?"
The old Taoist priest said in the ear of the young Taoist: "When he came, he was full of majesty, able to enjoy wealth and longevity, and his descendants were full. But when he left, his face was full of disappointment. Don't say anything about the majesty, it would be difficult to live until the end of his life. You say, what is going on?"
The little Taoist worries: "Why do you ask these questions that I can't know, and I don't know him, why would he tell me?"
The old Taoist twisted his beard and squinted his eyes: "In the capital, something that can change heaven and earth has happened, and the man against the sky has taken action."
The little Taoist asked: "If you shot it, you hit him."
The old Taoist shook his head: "It's not that simple. If you just hit him, it won't break his kingly spirit."
The little Taoist muttered: "I can't see anything, Master, what will I do in the future? How can I rely on eating?"
The old Taoist also sighed: "Yes! How could I be so wrong? A man who can see the psychics of the past and the present is actually a mortal with naked eyes! If it doesn't work, you just go vulgar."
The little Taoist priest shook his head: "No! Then there is no food to eat! I have to follow you all the time, maybe you can live 300 years, I will die in front of you."
The old Taoist cursed: "You lazy! Don't go to memorize the spell! Do you want to have a lifetime of idle meals!"
The little Taoist nodded and said, "Should that not?"
The old Taoist pulled the little Taoist and said, "Of course it shouldn't!" He began to teach the little Taoist the principle of rewarding hard work, and the two of them walked back to the view of Xiaoyun.
Chapter 67
At the same moment when Huoluo left the city, a man dressed as a scribe entered Pingyuanhou's Mansion and said his name and wanted to see Pingyuanhou.
Ping Yuanhou met this man in the study, and the man bowed and saluted Ping Yuanhou: "I have seen the general."
Ping Yuan Hou smiled: "Where is the general and idle person."
The man dressed as a scribe said: "The general's power, the general will never forget."
Ping Yuan Hou waved his hand and said, "Ziyuan is still so polite, my Da Lang learned the whole set from you! Sit down!"
undefinedThe scribe smiled, took up his gown and sat down, and asked, "I haven't seen Da Lang for several years, but he is still studying writing."
Ping Yuanhou sighed: "I was complacent after taking the exam for a talented person for a long time. The Jinshi didn't record it and cheekyly said that he slept in it for a day, so naturally he could not pass the exam.
The scribe laughed: "The general does not need to be harsh."
Ping Yuan Hou pondered for a moment, and said, "I asked you to come to help Dalang and the others. Do you mind?"
The scribe immediately stood up and solemnly said: "Why does the general say that the end general obeys the general like this? What's more, Da Lang is an extremely intelligent person, and the end general must..."
Ping Yuanhou waved his hand again: "How many times have I said it, don't you always be so loyal to say good things!"
The scribe smiled: "Isn't this something my dad forced to practice since I was a child? I'm used to it."
Ping Yuan Hou sighed again: "Your father is also desperate! Do you want to go back now?"
The scribe shook his head and said, "I have followed the general since I was eleven. After so many years, I have a family, and I feel at ease following the general, and I am not used to it anymore."
Ping Yuanhou nodded and said: "He helped them to do things, Da Lang, you know, but he has a younger brother...Cousin, that kid has a bad temper, but his heart is not bad. You don't usually care about him. , And give him some advice."
The scribe hurriedly replied: "The general can rest assured that in the end, the general will not fight back or scold him."
Ping Yuanhou laughed out loud: "It's okay, it doesn't matter if you fight or scold him, just don't hate him in your heart."
The scribe sincerely saluted: "The general's kindness to his son is as heavy as a mountain..."
Ping Yuanhou waved his hand: "It's okay! It's been a long time since you've seen me again. Let them prepare a meal. I got you drunk, so you won't talk about these nonsense!"
The scribe saluted again with some embarrassment: "Thank you for the general's mercy."
Ping Yuan Hou sighed helplessly.
Zhang Yunming and Zhang Yunzheng had a big meal with Shen Jian and Shen Zhuo, and they happily returned to the house. As soon as they entered the door, someone said to let them go to Hou Ye's study.
Thinking that Lord Hou was coming to criticize them again, the two of them went to the study with a sigh of relief. Before entering, they heard haha laughter inside.
The two brothers went in and saw Ping Yuanhou and a man dressed as a scribe were guarding a mess at the table and looked at them with a smile.
Zhang Yunming hurriedly saluted: "I have seen Master Song!"
Zhang Yunzheng also saluted, and Ping Yuanhou said to Zhang Yunzheng: "This is your brother's enlightenment master, Song Yao, Song Ziyuan, you can call him Master Song as your brother."
Zhang Yunzheng buzzed in his head, his mouth half-opened, and his eyes staring at Song Yao-the list he had memorized in the eyes of the sky suddenly appeared. He blinked and recited: "Song Yao Chengdong, Liu Yuan Li Gui, Chengdong, Lijiadoufang. Guanfu, Chengxi, Luojiaxiang, the third from the bottom. Zhang Xin, Chengnan, Hongxiulou buddy..."
Ping Yuanhou and Song Yao looked at each other. Ping Yuanhou looked at Zhang Yunzheng sternly: "How do you know where these people live!" These are all his carefully arranged chess pieces, and they will never be used when they are not necessary. I have not been in contact for all these years to avoid being discovered. Now it was to protect my precious son, so I called someone over. How Zhang Yunzheng broke his hiding place in one fell swoop. No one else used him. No one could know.
Zhang Yunzheng stammered: "Yes...Yes..."
Zhang Yunming interrupted and said, "That person said it!"
Zhang Yunzheng was silent.
Ping Yuan Hou turned the jade ball and stared at Zhang Yunzheng closely. After a while, he said flatly: "Have you learned to lie?"
Zhang Yunzheng was immediately annoyed: "I don't lie!" He has read Zhang Yunming's lie since he was young, and if he is different from Zhang Yunming, he will not lie.
Ping Yuan Hou squinted his eyes and asked: "Then how do you know these people, let alone the person who told them! Only I know the addresses of these people in the world. If I really do, as your brother said, lead soldiers to the north, these People have gone with me, even those who can predict the prophet will not know where these people live!"
Zhang Yunzheng actually yearned for his family's recognition in his heart, and said, "That person opened my eyes for a while, and none of the people I mentioned went to the battlefield with my dad. I made a list of these names."
Ping Yuan Hou looked at Zhang Yunzheng in disbelief, shocked in his heart. His thoughts were far-reaching, and he had long seen that the emperor was worried about him, so he let go of the military power, but left the power to save his life. Although Zhang Yunming used the words of a mysterious person to move his heart, he still left a layer of dubious reason. He didn't rule out the possibility that a conspirator who wanted to help Zhenbeihou defeat the prince would make up such a narrative to pull him into the water. He didn't want to be too involved, so he had to take a closer look. But Zhang Yunzheng said the names of these people. Many of them were the people he had considered to introduce to his sons that night. They must be capable and loyal, and they must not bully their young son. At that time, they decided on someone. Just burned the list, it can be said that God knows, and no one knows except oneself. As for not taking them to the battlefield in the future, I don't know. But now Zhang Yunzheng just opened his mouth and said it, which is really weird!
Seeing Ping Yuanhou staring at Zhang Yunzheng in deep thought, Song Yao whispered: "General, it is true that there are eyes of heaven. I heard that it is the third eye, between the eyebrows, if it is opened, you can see the past and the future. What happened after the previous life. People also said that they must be sincere and pure to have this adventure. They trust others, so they can be led."
Ping Yuan Hou asked Zhang Yunzheng: "What happened after you got this list?"
Zhang Yunzheng looked at Zhang Yunming, and Zhang Yunming shrugged helplessly, and said, "Just tell me, he can't help it if he doesn't believe it."
Ping Yuanhou frowned and said, "I can't help it if I don't believe it! Just because of this, won't you tell me! I'm your father, whether I believe it or not, you have to tell me! Come on, what do you see? !"
Zhang Yunzheng reluctantly said: "That's what my brother said, Bei Rong is here, you and my brother are on the battlefield. Our mansion was ransacked, and I couldn't stand watching my mother die, so I woke up."
Song Yao was called by Ping Yuanhou, only to say that he was helping the young master Zhang. He didn't know the background at all. Now that he heard this, he felt that the matter was serious. He took a breath and asked urgently: "General! What was stolen! How is this going!"
Ping Yuanhou asked him, "Do you believe it?"
Song Yao thought nervously for a moment, and said firmly: "If this young man really saw the list from the eyes of the sky, I believe. Those brothers are the key figures buried by the general, although I know a few of them. , I don't even know where they live. General, this is the general heavenly help, let this young man open his eyes to see the secret, general, this matters how many lives, don't take it lightly!"
Hou Ping Yuan frowned, and suddenly asked Zhang Yunzheng: "What happened after that person said you escaped?"
Zhang Yunzheng thought that was his failure, and said dullly: "She said that I went out of the prison that night and found my father's ministry to assassinate the prince, and then fought with the prince, who was later the emperor, for more than 20 years. I was finally caught, and after being tortured to death..."
Although Ping Yuanhou kept admonishing himself not to believe the words of the mysterious person, he couldn't help but feel a throbbing pain in his heart: He always feels guilty towards Zhang Yunzheng and always tolerates him in every possible way. Is this not due to him? The deep love for this child, Zhang Yunzheng is the most handsome, combined with the good looks of him and Li, when he looks at him, there is always a kind of accommodation that is different from the strict requirements of the eldest son. If his own son really ended up miserably, Ping Yuan Hou knew that he would have no scruples and deal with him to the end.
Although Song Yao didn't know who the so-called "person" was, he became even more nervous when he heard such words, and said in a low voice, "General, please contact the southern ministries now!"
Zhang Yunming said hurriedly: "Wait, don't be busy."
The jade ball in Hou Pingyuan's hand rang again. After a long time, he slowly said: "After all, I am a military commander of this dynasty. I have spent many years in the court. I will serve the country and defend against foreign enemies. In any case, I must not disturb the world first. "Speaking of this, he suddenly understood that the children of the Shen family were afraid of being killed by their father's righteousness. Only when he really had to act did he realize that the moral code in his heart was so strong that he could not start trying to subvert the society just because of one person's alarmism.
Just as Zhang Yunzheng was about to speak, Zhang Yunming pulled him. Sure enough, after a while, Ping Yuanhou said: "But if someone deceives me too much and wants to harm my family, I will not let it be punished."
Zhang Yunming saw the very right time, and whispered: "Father, you don't have to think about how to calculate the emperor and prince, just look at that man's plan. The man said that she would insist that the crime is punished, and then she will not Meeting the teacher is unknown." This way my father would not be charged with being a foreign minister. In this era, loyalty is valued. If something hasn't happened yet, he will betray the emperor because of other people's words. No matter what he says, he can't hide his unfaithfulness.
Ping Yuan Hou slowly nodded his head and asked: "The man said he didn't say what happened to the prince"
Zhang Yunming nodded: "She said, after the collapse of our two governments, the court moved south, and later the crown prince became a throne. He became desolate and innocent. Within months after his death, the country changed hands in Beirong..."
Pingyuan Hou squinted: "If this is the case, the villain is really the king of subjugation."
Song Yao whispered: "If this is said, this matter will not be finalized."
Ping Yuan Hou asked: "Why?"
Song Yao said mysteriously with an expression: "People always say that the secret cannot be revealed, because once it is leaked, that kind of future will not come true. Therefore, those who prophesy often use verses, and people must wait for the matter to pass before people can understand the meaning. Gai Because if you make it clear, people will change their lives consciously or unintentionally. Once something is done, things in the future will change. If this person is really an unknown prophet, he can make it clear again, so that everyone will be on guard. , Then in the future, it must not be the ending that the person knows."
Hou Ping Yuan nodded his head in agreement, and Song Yao said again: "Moreover, this person must be extremely cautious and silent. He knew the forefront, and wanted to make things happen as foreseen until the last moment. The earth-shaking tactics changed the final result in one fell swoop. Otherwise, if he moves ahead of time, if the other party notices the change in his actions, he will lose his hand."
Zhang Yunming and Zhang Yunzheng exchanged glances, and both felt that Song Yao should be Shen Wen's confidant.
Ping Yuanhou said: "It should be. If I choose, I will also choose the road that is known to be dangerous, not the road that is dangerous and unknown." He thought for a moment and said to Zhang Yunming: "In this case, we will Be extra careful not to leave marks on the bright face. Ziyuan will follow you two from tomorrow to make the matter of the grass bandits settled. There are only a few roads to Beirong. He asked the water bandits in Lianghu, I I think, in the end, the person must choose the road around Nengliang Lake. The 300,000 catties of grain prince may not be transported at once, and may be separated two or three times. If he transports it once, we will rob it once! The transportation on the road can drive the other side. You have to prepare a carriage on the water. If a boat can carry a thousand catties, then 20 or 30 should be enough."
Song Yao said: "There are many southerners among our people who are familiar with water and can control even more ships."
Ping Yuanhou went on to say: "I will call Zhang Xin tomorrow and go to the south to convene the old ministry. It is far away, and some movements will not be easily noticed. Find a place in the mountains and start gathering people there. That person The prophecy said that when Bei Rong came, I only recruited about 20,000 righteous soldiers. This is really not enough. There must be at least 20,000 people in the mountains. If it is really like what he said, if you want to go to the battlefield, we can transfer people here soon."
Song Yao nodded again and again: "That's fine. If the south side is not prepared, I will not feel at ease."
Ping Yuan Hou said to the two brothers: "You are often in contact with that person. Any new progress will be explained to Ziyuan immediately. It is best to let Ziyuan see that person."
Zhang Yunzheng was embarrassed: "This..."
Zhang Yunming said solemnly: "That person is very... careful, he doesn't like to see people. When it's time to spend money, he finds us, otherwise we will be kept in the dark."
Ping Yuanhou was angry: "This snobbery!" He turned his head and said to Song Yao: "What do you need money for, just say it! We have to do a great job, and he dare to look down upon us!"
Both Zhang Yunzheng and Zhang Yunming dared not laugh: If one day his father knew that the person behind the scenes was Shen Wen, how disillusioned it would be.
Song Yao saluted Ping Yuanhou again: "Reassure the general, I will do my best." He looked at Zhang Yunzheng and said with a smile: "It turns out that this is'Miss Zhang'."
Zhang Yunzheng immediately raised his eyebrows.
Ping Yuanhou sighed and asked Song Yao, "Do you still remember the Taoist leader we saved that year"
Song Yao said: "He and the people were **** by thieves to block arrows. The general did not let the soldiers shoot arrows, and leaped his horse into the battle. Those talents did not die."
Ping Yuanhou nodded: "He later found me and said that my second son would be raised as a daughter until he was 22 years old. I didn't even know the marriage at the time. Who knows where the child was married, so I told my wife about this matter. Having said that, she insisted on doing what the Taoist priest said."
Song Yao nodded emotionally: "Yeah! If it was raised as a daughter, and something happened in the future, even if they ransacked their heads according to their household registration, he could also escape as a dress!"
Zhang Yunzheng said angrily: "I don't want to be raised as a girl, and I don't want to run away!"
Ping Yuan Hou scolded: "I didn't really raise it as a daughter, so I just locked you in the garden and didn't let you come out to see people? I asked you a master to teach martial arts..."
Zhang Yunzheng called: "I don't want to be locked up!"
Ping Yuan Hou was obviously short of breath: "Will you be able to go out at night after you are ten years old? We still allow you to see the lights..."
Zhang Yunzheng continued to complain: "Only once a year! My brother can talk and laugh with his friends..."
Song Yao hurriedly persuaded: "Okay, okay, it's not going to be alright now. You can come out with a cousin's name, and you can make friends." Where does the friend Zhang Yunzheng immediately think of Shen Wen, that nasty ghost is not Friends, at best, can be considered a quarrel.
Ping Yuanhou waved to the two brothers and said, "You will listen to Master Song in the future, don't toss with us behind your back!"
Zhang Yunming and Zhang Yunzheng agreed, and both bowed their farewells. Ping Yuanhou asked them to greet the Li family. After seeing them out, he said to Song Yao: "Our people have been slack for so many years. It's time to start reorganizing the team."
Song Yao also nodded: "Yes, it's been twenty years. Many soldiers have passed their prime of life. Now they are about to recruit their children. It is an opportunity to start military training exercises to pull up this reckless division."
Although it was said that Zhang Yunming was allowed to do it, Ping Yuanhou and Song Yao decided the candidates. The two began to talk about who would buy a ship or build a ship, who would go to the mountainous areas of Tibetan soldiers, who would buy horses and so on.
Zhang Yunzheng and Zhang Yunming walked out of the study, both relieved.
Zhang Yunzheng whispered: "I was afraid that my father would be in charge of the overall situation." Seeing this, Ping Yuan Hou would follow Shen Wen's arrangement.
Zhang Yunming also quietly replied: "I used to think that as soon as he believed him, he would start to overthrow the prince. But in fact, no matter what we say, those things did not happen. Dad probably thinks that listening to the wind is rain, and he really wants to murder the other party. What the husband did."
Zhang Yunzheng now understands why Shen Wen prevented him from starting to be strong at the beginning, and felt how naive he was at that time, without maturity and responsibility at all. After he was a little bit ashamed, he decided to see Shen Wen in the future and would continue to bully her and save himself face.
Zhang Yunming once again said with emotion: "There are not many people in this world who count other people's tricks on others like Little Fat Duck."
Zhang Yunzheng knew that it was because those tragedies really happened to Shen Wen, not a credible or unbelievable prophecy, so he could not help but defend Shen Wen: "What do you mean by self-defense? She is planning there so that prediction will not come true. Otherwise, those things will happen."
Zhang Yunming frowned: "Master Song said that?"
Zhang Yunzheng vowed to say: "He said that. You don't usually like to take notes, so don't worry about it."
Zhang Yunming looked at Zhang Yunzheng coldly, and Zhang Yunzheng asked: "Master Song is your enlightenment teacher, how about others?"
Zhang Yunming rolled his eyes and said, "He was born to everyone and was a bastard. When he was young, he was forced to recite the Four Books and Five Classics, but he just didn't like Xiwen. He was almost beaten to death by his father when he was a teenager. , His mother quietly sent him out of the house. When Dad picked him up on the road, he followed Dad, and he was still Dad's military instructor."
Zhang Yunzheng is dissatisfied: "Why don't I have an enlightened master"
Zhang Yunming smiled: "You still complained that Dad found you Xiaoyao from Jianghu, Wu Shuangquan, who came to teach you, but you beat him away."
Zhang Yunzheng cutly said: "I just kicked him away. He said that he has been here for ten years and is almost suffocated. In the last year, he complained every day and raised his nose and eyes at me. Pick me up and beat him!"
Zhang Yunming sighed: "You have such a bad temper, you are worthy of that little fat duck with a stomach full of tricks. I like to watch you quarrel with her. God is fair."
Zhang Yunzheng punched Zhang Yunming and said, "You want to fight!"
Zhang Yunming said, "Come on!"
The two of them fisted all the way to the door of Li's office, stopped their hands, straightened off their clothes, entered the door one after another, and greeted Li in unison: "Hello mother!"
It is rare for Li to see two people come here in harmony, put down the thick books in his hands, and said with a smile: "Come here, my son, how tired today is it delicious?"
She paid special attention to Zhang Yunzheng, pulled Zhang Yunzheng to sit next to her, smiled and looked at Zhang Yunzheng, her eyes were filled with tears-she always felt sorry for this son.
Zhang Yunzheng is embarrassed, his face is sullen, and his body is stiff-I am still doing this to me when I am too old.
Zhang Yunming moved to the other side of Li's family: "Mother, we went to the Huanyin Pavilion of my mother today. The pearl **** and **** lotus root slices there are really the best in Beijing."
Li smiled and turned his head to Zhang Yunming: "You should also take over. In nearly a hundred businesses in the capital, there are thousands of dollars in the business every day. I am getting older and I can't keep watching."
Zhang Yunming immediately said: "Mother, you are so young and so young! I don't want to care about these things. I will go to the poetry club when I have time. Let my brother take care of it."
Zhang Yunzheng immediately said: "I'm too lazy to care!"
Li smiled and looked at Zhang Yunming: "I have to find you a wife to take care of your affairs." Zhang Yunming is about to turn 19 years old, and his son is usually married or married. It turned out that Ping Yuan Hou had been deciding which one was suitable because of the secret Zhang Yunzheng at home. But Li was afraid that Zhang Yunming would get married, which would be a stimulus to the second son who could not meet people, and wanted to delay. Then there was the matter of the four princesses, and there was no way to say a kiss. Now that the second son came out under someone else's name, it seemed that the fourth princess's matter was going to end, she thought it was time to start looking for a wife for Zhang Yunming.
Zhang Yunming immediately said: "Don't you! I can be picky! Also, I don't want to."
Yes, I fell in love with the five princesses! Zhang Yunzheng snorted coldly: "Mother, you don't bother for him! Leave him alone!"
Zhang Yunming said, "Hey! Don't force me to ask my mother to help you choose a daughter-in-law!"
Li sighed apologetically to Zhang Yunzheng, and Zhang Yunzheng rolled his eyes: "What are you sighing, I don't want to get married before I turn 22!"
Zhang Yunming said: "Yes, he just got out of the yard, he is about the same age as a twelve or thirteen-year-old kid, and he will have to be a few years old."
Just as Zhang Yunzheng was about to get angry, Li comforted Zhang Yunzheng: "You didn't go out much before. Naturally innocent and okay. My mother likes you with sincerity."
Zhang Yunming chuckled, "You are such a good boy."
After listening, Zhang Yunzheng made a grimace at Zhang Yunming that Shen Wen had done-his tongue stuck out and his eyes turned up.
Zhang Yunming said to Li's family, "Mother, look at him!"
Li smiled and slapped Zhang Yunzheng's hand, then sighed: "I just like you two being good, don't always fight."
Zhang Yunming immediately said, "Mother, he hit me!"
Zhang Yunzheng immediately raised his fist, and Li hurriedly pulled Zhang Yunzheng's sleeve: "You have a temper! How can you say that you just do it"
Zhang Yunzheng pointed out Zhang Yunming: "He sued!"
Zhang Yunming laughed: "Mother, look, he is not suing too"
Zhang Yunzheng finally couldn't help it. He stood up and rushed towards Zhang Yunming. Zhang Yunming also jumped up and said as he ran, "Mother, take a good rest! I will lead him away!"
Zhang Yunzheng also called: "Mother! He is looking for a fight!"
The two people immediately left Li's room and went across the courtyard.
Li smiled and shook his head: "Two rebellious sons!" He was in a particularly good mood.
It was said that the little son had returned from school, and Li was busy asking Zhang Yunzhao to come over.
Compared with the two uncomfortable sons, Li thinks that Zhang Yunzhao is the best behaved. Probably because of poor health, the child is almost ten years old, and he still doesn't like to talk. Take a few more steps to breathe slightly. Li asked Zhang Yunzhao to sit next to him, smiled and asked him about what he was learning, so that he made a little bit of it and urged him to take a bite.
Zhang Yunzhao ate a snack lazily and listlessly. Ping Yuan Hou had negotiated with Song Yao, so he came to see his wife. Since listening to the tragic ending, Ping Yuanhou has always felt sorry for Li in his heart. He usually comes to see him and says a few nasty things to Li.
Seeing Hou Pingyuan entering the door, Li hurriedly said with a smile: "Master Hou is here, sit down quickly." He signaled Zhang Yunzhao to salute Hou Pingyuan. Zhang Yunzhao was more obedient than Zhang Yunzheng, and immediately got up to salute, and said: "Daddy is good" as a small adult.
Ping Yuan Hou looked at his sick and crooked little son, let him sit down with a smile, and said to Li, "We still have to let Zhao'er practice martial arts."
Li looked at his younger son distressedly, and reluctantly said, "I listen to Lord Hou."
Ping Yuanhou said to Li, "Don't worry, I will definitely find him a good master."
Li sighed: "It's best not to let him suffer, just keep fit."
Ping Yuan Hou shook his head at Li's: "Madam is really a loving mother."
Li covered his mouth and smiled: "Loving mothers often lose children, Hou Ye means it's no wonder that the children I raised are all rebellious sons, right?"
Ping Yuanhou said solemnly: "How could it be said that Madam should share some spoiling...you know who it is?"
Li concealed his cheek with a handkerchief: "In front of the child, what did the husband say?"
Zhang Yunzhao raised his hand: "I know, Dad said that my mother should spoil him more."
Li blushed, looking at Ping Yuanhou angrily.
Ping Yuanhou Zhang Yunzhao said with a serious expression: "After eating snacks, go out and walk around. Don't always read in the house. Be careful to be a nerd."
Zhang Yunzhao said dumbfounded: "No one plays with me and doesn't want to go out."
Ping Yuanhou waved his hand: "Go, go, then go out." Zhang Yunzhao blasted away.
---------------------------------
A few days after the Bei Rong envoy left Beijing, Shen Wen thought that he should go to discuss with Zhang Yunming about the establishment of bandit armed forces, and he also had to go to the house to see if the secret room was built, so he told Su Wanniang that he was going to see the house at night. If there is no one there, just go to the palace and wander around.
Su Wanniang frowned upon hearing this: I'll see the foreigner again after this time! But then when Shen Wen said he was going to the palace, he quickly said: "You should just go to that yard! I embroidered a few orchids on your night suit, which is barely an exterior." I saw the Zhang family that day, dressed as an eunuch. The costumes are so energetic, and my lady went to see him, she was not so beautiful, and she only wore simple night clothes. She was really classless, and she might not be able to hold him down.
Shen Wen smiled: "Sister Wanniang! I just want to dress in black, and what more flowers should I embroider!"
Su Wanniang was a little depressed: "You are a young lady, how can you wear clothes that are not embroidered to meet people? That's too unruly, you don't have to pay attention to underwear. If you don't dress well, you will see foreigners, and in the future..."
Shen Wen went to take Su Wanniang's arm: "I have a lot to do in the future, it doesn't matter if I see an outsider."
Su Wanniang thought, yes, what the two of them are planning is to pull the prince down. Seeing the foreigner, what is it?
Su Wanniang sighed: "Forget it, that's a big deal, I'll accompany you..." But I hesitated afterwards, thinking of the promise to the Fourth Prince at that time.
Shen Wen smiled at Mimi: "Don't accompany me, I'm still waiting for you to get married, and go and make trouble in your bridal chamber!"
Su Wanniang scolded: "What are you talking about! I don't know..." At the end of the speech, she swallowed again.
Shen Wen smiled secretly, holding Su Wanniang's shoulders and whispering: "My brother-in-law didn't say anything this time."
Last time, Su Wanniang told Shen Wen the reason why the four princes did not want to be emperor, and she had to tell the part that involved him. Shen Wen later raised her name to the four princes. She has directly classified the four princes as housewives and men: the four princes of the previous life have lived in the shadows for a lifetime, and have never heard of his talents: a disabled prince has never been to the court in his life, so naturally he has not built Excessive words and strategies. Later, the three princes went out to supervise the army and died on the battlefield, but the fourth princes spent their entire lives in vain. In this life, Shen Wen didn't take him too seriously. Although I asked the fourth prince if he wanted to be an emperor, it was more to test his mind. Even if the third prince does not want to be emperor, but the third prince is the elder brother, if there is no good reason, it should not be jumped over and foster a prince who has not shown any political talent. Even if it is very unlikely that the four princes will suddenly change and become a human being, they cannot grow up without a conclusive basis. If that were the case, the chaos between the ruling and the opposition would also create a wall of brotherhood between the third and fourth princes.
Shen Wen felt that the four princes were good to be idle princes, with a smooth temper, love to play chess, and have fun, and would be a good husband. Naturally, he agreed with Su Wanniang to be with him, calling him "brother-in-law".
Su Wanniang pushed Shen Wen away, blushing: "He said, Ji Li, want to give me a hairpin..."
Shen Wen categorically said: "Don't even think! The hairpin must be given by me! You know me first!"
Su Wanniang murmured: "I said so too, but he said, if he doesn't want him, he will personally wear it for me..."
Shen Wen laughed instead: "He can come, don't even think about wearing his hairpin!"
Su Wanniang widened her eyes and said, "How can he come! He is a foreigner!"
Shen Wen sighed and said to Su Wanniang, "It's nothing for him to come, but when you reach twenty, ten years have not passed. I can't make it right. At that time, you can't get married right away, and he will come for nothing..."
Su Wanniang gritted her teeth and pushed Shen Wen vigorously: "You talk about it! You talk about it!"
Shen Wen was pushed crookedly on the ground, saying: "Why am I so dizzy, is it drunk?"...
Xia Qing, who was guarding outside the door, coughed, and the two immediately stopped fighting and sat at the table properly.
Xia Lan's voice at the courtyard gate: "Qian Jackie poked Shaojun
Qian Ba a played to the door and asked Xia Qing: "Is the young lady here?"
Su Wanniang said loudly: "Come on Qian Ao!"
Xia Qing opened the door in silence, Qian Aicong, what is the rule of the saddle and saddle, people will not even say a word when they come."
Xia Qing still didn't speak, Su Wanniang smiled and greeted Qian Aowu, and said: "She is that temperament, An Huai is annoyed, please sit down."
Shen Wen also got up, smiled and asked, "Qian Angmang is thirsty and quietly confuses Jun.
Qian Target ψPan Danmou secretly hangs on the emperor to lead me to see if Xia Wan has reached the age of 笄, right? Is it necessary to make a 笄 gift? I like this child and want to give her a hairpin. "
Thinking of Qian Ao's apology, Shen Wen's heart burst into anger: Su Wanniang inserted a hairpin, even if she was Su Wanniang's elder, she would always be able to suppress Su Wanniang in the future. This is when they want to reach out to themselves again.
Su Wanniang's face also froze for a moment, but immediately pretended to lower her head shyly. She also joked with Shen Wen just now, saying that the four princes came for nothing, but this informant who leads the prince or the emperor wanted to give her and the hairpin, really good plan!
Shen Wen pursed his lips: "I want my mother to accept Wanniang's sister as a righteous daughter, so that she can give her a gift!" Qianba thief Shen Wen pursed his lips: "However, thank you Aoshua" Yi Na is looking forward to a contradictory target, φ Jingmang
Qian Baa looked at Shen Wen and Su Wanniang again. He smiled awkwardly and said in a low voice, "I heard that Xia Wan's father..."
Shen Wen waved his hand vigorously as a child: "I have forgotten all the things that happened so many years ago! If my mother has not forgotten, I will wait for a few years. Whenever my mother has almost forgotten, I will go and say to my mother. Sister Wanniang!" She smiled and said to Su Wanniang: "Sister Wanniang, do you think this is okay?" In the tone, she seemed to be instigated by Su Wanniang to win Su Wanniang's favor.
Su Wanniang has been with Shen Wen for a long time, she didn't need to prepare beforehand, she immediately understood Shen Wen's intentions, and smiled and said to Shen Wen: "Miss is thoughtful, it's good."
Qian Angmeng swallowed with vulgarity, then forced a smile and said, "Miss is so kind..."
Shen Wen embarrassedly said: "No, I can't live without Sister Wanniang!" She stretched out her hand and shook Su Wanniang's hand, and said coquettishly: "Sister Wanniang, would you stay here? Coming down" It seems that Su Wanniang often uses this to threaten to leave.
Su Wanniang followed Shen Wen's meaning and sighed: "Well, Miss said so, I won't leave now."
Where is Qianba and Nai Chu going?"
Shen Wen explained: "Sister Wanniang has grown up and is going to take her younger brother back to her hometown."
Mu Xiaye was more enthusiastic than Chen Shuoji. This was obviously deceiving Shen Wen and forcing her to arrange for Su Wanniang to be recognized as a righteous daughter. Once she becomes the righteous daughter of Lord Hou, Su Wanniang will be able to marry a good family. If we can't do it, this young lady can make trouble and give Su Wanniang a dowry! Su Wanniang is so good at calculating!
Qian vomited the coffin and stood up and said, "In this case, I will go back first. Do you want me to tell the lady about this matter?"
Shen Wen said indifferently: "It's up to you. I originally wanted to talk to my mother later. If she doesn't allow me, I will cry. My mother likes me the most and she will definitely agree."
The money target is a prison and a guilty thief is dragging it, so that you don't need to cry, and it will be done. Saying goodbye with a dry smile on her face, Su Wanniang smiled and sent her out.
Su Wanniang returned to the room, Shen Wen smiled at her at the table, Su Wanniang nodded her forehead: "You just force them to attack me like this"
Shen Wen said: "This is a matter of time. The higher you are lifted, the higher the price they will get for you. If this is released today, they will no longer want to come with a gift. It's close to you.'The righteous daughter of the Hou Mansion'! They offer at least the same price as this, plus excuses such as threats and revenge."
Su Wanniang thought for a while and said, "But this'righteous girl' can't be recognized now."
Shen Wenla Su Wanniang: "Yeah! Sister Wanniang is thoughtful. Now if you recognize it, your identity will be fixed, and you may be less likely to be attracted. Even if you say to help them, they will still think it's the opposite. It's a plan. I have to let my second brother go and talk to the old lady, dragging and letting out the wind, but I can't settle down and hang them."
Su Wanniang nodded and said, "When they come to woo me, something big must happen."
Shen Wen said: "Yes." Seeing Su Wanniang's expression nervous, Shen Wen said hurriedly: "But don't worry, I don't think they should move in the past two years. They must move. No marriage is allowed, ruin my girlfriend's name."
Su Wanniang shook her head to Shen Wen: "You don't feel scared even a little bit when you say these things."
Shen Wen raised his eyebrows and asked: "What are you afraid of?"
Su Wanniang sighed and patted her chest twice: "I know what happened to my parents now! You and my brother are all here to collect debts from me!"
Shen Wen laughed and hugged Su Wanniang's arm and whispered: "People say it's not that the enemy doesn't meet together. Be careful, my brother-in-law must be too..."
The words were endless, and Su Wanniang had been pushed and shoved to the bedside to itch.
At night, Shen Wen wore the night clothes embroidered by Su Wanniang, ran to the deserted courtyard and found a light on in a room. Shen Wen grabbed the sand and hit the stone, and the door opened. Zhang Yunzheng stood in the doorway behind him, and Shen Wen jumped out of the darkness.
Chapter 68
Because he was worried about the bandits and water bandits, Shen Wen didn't want to provoke Zhang Yunzheng, wrinkled his nose to say hello to him, and jumped in the door.
There were a few lights in the room, shining all over the room, probably because Zhang Yunming was frightened last time. There was a pile of mud and sand on the ground, and a large pile of masonry. On one third of the gable, a wall half a person high has been built.
Zhang Yunming sat on a great teacher's chair with Erlang's legs upright. He was covered with mud spots. Holding a paper fan in his hand, he couldn't help but smiled and nodded to Shen Wen. Shen Wen knew that she was like a girl under the age of twelve, and she would never get the respect and respect of the nineteen-year-old Zhang Yunming. He didn't care about it. After looking for a place to sit, he looked up and found that Zhang Yunzheng had only one vest on his upper body and his shoulders were bare-- Lu, there is mud all over her arms, and her upper arm muscles protrude. Presumably aware of Shen Wen's gaze, Zhang Yunzheng raised his eyebrows: "What are you looking at!" He stepped aside, picked up a piece of clothing, and wore it casually.
Shen Wen curled his lips: "Who is looking at you? I am looking at the pile of sand and the wall you built half of it."
Zhang Yunzheng snorted coldly: "Little liar!"
undefinedShen Wen blushed a bit, and looked around the room with a disdainful expression. Seeing Shen Wen looking around, Zhang Yunming smiled and asked, "Aren't we doing a good job?"
Zhang Yunzheng frowned and said, "What do you mean by'we'! You didn't do anything!"
Zhang Yunming raised an eyebrow: "Who said I didn't do it, I made two bricks! It's not my fault that you broke it."
Zhang Yunzheng angered: "The bricks that are called code bricks are all protruding by half! You are afraid that the wall is too flat and others will not doubt if it is right."
Shen Wen took a closer look at the wall built by Zhang Yunzheng, it was really neat, and even the mud between the bricks was smooth.
Zhang Yunming raised his head: "That can't say that I didn't work! At least I did a little..." During the words, a piece of mud flew over, Zhang Yunming unfolded the paper fan, and slapped the mud on the paper fan. The mud splashed, and Shen Wen screamed and jumped away. He was still splashed with some muddy water. Now I understand how the mud ideas on Zhang Yunming's clothes came from.
Zhang Yunming chuckled: "It didn't hit my mouth again!" He said to Shen Wen: "He said he would use mud to paste my mouth, but he hasn't done it yet..." With a swish, Zhang Yunming raised his fan again. A mud bomb.
Shen Wen called: "I ran out with great difficulty, not to watch you fight! What should I do about mountain bandits and water bandits?"
Zhang Yunming shook the muddy water on the fan and said nonchalantly, "Oh, that's it, it's okay if you don't find someone."
Shen Wen was anxious: "What does it mean is nothing! Without the grass bandits, how can I rob the prince's food and weapons for Bei Rong in the future?"
Zhang Yunming shook Erlang's legs and said, "That's too easy, don't worry, I will do it all!"
Shen Wen looked at him suspiciously: "It's only a few days after it's done."
Zhang Yunming slapped the folding fan: "It can be seen that I can do it, unlike some people, I have only built half of the wall after a busy day..." He slammed the fan, with a "puff" sound, blocking another attack.
Zhang Yunzheng put a brick on the wall and said angrily: "Big liar! That's Dad's person!"
Shen Wen suddenly pointed to Zhang Yunming and said: "You are really a big liar! You told your father!" She immediately asked nervously: "You didn't tell me."
Zhang Yunzheng interrupted: "You just want to be the limelight"
Shen Wen retorted: "I don't want to! It's better not to say it."
Zhang Yunming shook his fan and said, "I said that an expert pointed out the future. My father guessed that this person was related to the Zhenbei Hou Mansion, but I didn't guess it was you."
Shen Wen asked: "Did he believe it?"
Zhang Yunming said ambiguously: "I believe it. He went to search my stupid brother's room and found his record of wiretapping Bei Rong. Knowing that the prince is going to transport food, he probably wanted to do it."
Shen Wen glared at Zhang Yunzheng: "Stupid! How can such an important thing be searched out"
Zhang Yunzheng also angered: "Our house is not like yours! It's like a sieve! Our house has a lot of things! What's the matter with my dad who found it out! Didn't you just use his people? You are stupid!"
Shen Wen also thought about it. Zhang Yunzheng has been raised as a young lady for more than 20 years without revealing his stuff, let alone a few pieces of paper. Busily changing the subject, asked Zhang Yunming: "Is your father reliable?"
Zhang Yunzheng said in a low voice: "I have no knowledge!"
Zhang Yunming said with some pride: "My father said that he had his original subordinates, and he was supposed to protect our family from escape when something happened. So he can give us people right away, and give us his military master Song Yao. It's..."
Shen Wen pointed to Zhang Yunzheng: "He mentioned this name when he opened his eyes that day!"
Zhang Yunming nodded and said, "He is my enlightened master and has been with my father for many years."
Shen Wen repeatedly said: "No wonder, no wonder!" She pointed at Zhang Yunzheng again: "No wonder he immediately went to assassinate the prince when he escaped. After he failed, he slammed out of the capital. There must be this person's help. Otherwise, he was alone, at all. Nothing can happen."
Zhang Yunzheng raised his eyebrows: "What does it mean to make a fuss! Anyway, I won't be like a stupid ghost!"
Shen Wen punched Zhang Yunzheng: "You bastard! I won't tell you any secrets again!"
Zhang Yunzheng snorted: "Then why did you tell my brother my secret!"
Shen Wen was speechless for a while, but he didn't even answer. In order to retaliate against Zhang Yunzheng, he told Zhang Yunming about his night visit to the Prince's Mansion and going to Wanhualou. Does this violate the tacit understanding between the two people?
Zhang Yunming hurriedly asked Shen Wen: "What 'what secret' did you tell me?"
Shen Wen stared: "The secret is that your brother jumped out of the rock!"
Zhang Yunming pretended to be stupid and said: "How come you must be wrong, there is no such person!" Seeing that Shen Wen opened his mouth again, he said proudly: "My dad is great, he has resigned his military position, but he has not released his military power. , He said he has more than 20,000 people around him now, and there are still more in the south."
Shen Wen could only nod his head: "Your father is much smarter than mine! Look at my father, all the elite soldiers are on the border, and the capital is a lot of women, children, and children in the mansion. Although there are guards loyal to the Hou Mansion, there are also inside. A spy, there is no other person to respond to. If something goes wrong, the family will have no way out." Then he said with emotion: "No wonder your father knew to ask for money when he was married! He wanted to support this big gang of people!"
The rebellious Zhang Yunzheng immediately sang the opposite tune: "But when something happened, most of them followed his father to fight the enemy, and my house was destroyed later."
Zhang Yunming frowned at Zhang Yunzheng: "Don't turn your elbows out! To outsiders, you have to say good things about your father, understand?"
Shen Wen lit his cheek with his hand: "Your father finally chose Weiguo, but did not protect the family. I am too suspicious now, maybe, this was originally the prince's conspiracy."
Zhang Yunming slapped his palm with a fan: "Yes, forcing my father to use the old department to eliminate hidden dangers."
Shen Wen thought for a while, and asked: "Your father didn't say what to do by himself"
Zhang Yunming shook his head and said in a low voice, "I don't think my father dare to believe it 100%. He really doesn't want to be a rebel."
Shen Wen sighed: "My father is too!"
Zhang Yunzheng said to Shen Wen contemptuously: "They don't want to do anything out of the ordinary. Your strategy would be better, otherwise..."
Shen Wen rolled his eyes and said, "Otherwise, you go to assassinate the prince, your ambitious head, no matter what you think, you won't think of the things I designed, so don't worry about it!"
Zhang Yunming laughed loudly: "A brain with no ambition...Where is this and where..."
Zhang Yunzheng shoveled a pile of mud with a brick knife, and said to Shen Wen: "I think I should put these mud in your mouth too!"
Shen Wen called: "Dare you dare, I will never end with you!"
Zhang Yunzheng said: "Of course I dare! No end, no end! Who is afraid of you!"
Shen Wen opened his teeth and danced his claws: "I'm not afraid of you! Try it!"
Zhang Yunzheng smirked: "Open your mouth!"...
Zhang Yunming is now accustomed to the noise between these two people. He doesn't care at all. He just tries his best to break the conversation, and asks Shen Wen with a smile: "My father said you want to make wine, you must use the fire array, right?"
Shen Wen twitched his lips: "Your father is too cunning! No wonder you are so slippery!"
Zhang Yunzheng said: "You still say that others are cunning, and you are a liar yourself!"
Shen Wen gritted his teeth at Zhang Yunzheng: "If you don't cheat or cheat, you can only assassinate the prince again and again, and those who work hard will treat others! You know?"
Zhang Yunming nodded to Zhang Yunzheng and said: "That's right, the laborer takes care of others, so you have to build the wall..." "Papa" is another mud bomb!
This time there was more mud, and Shen Wen yelled and jumped away. She pointed to the mud spots on her night clothes and said angrily: "Look, my clothes are dirty, you pay!"
Zhang Yunzheng glanced at it and sneered: "If it is dirty, it will be dirty. If you can't wash it, you want to corrupt people!"
Shen Wen jumped his feet: "How can I wash and dry it in the yard to tell everyone-come and see my night clothes! Ah! Is there such a stupid thing? My sister Wanniang also embroidered flowers on this dress. How sad she will be when she puts on mud once she wears it!"
Zhang Yunzheng squinted vigorously: "Just two leaves are also called embroidered Mongolian people!"
Shen Wen resolutely defended Su Wanniang: "My sister Wanniang is going to make clothes for me behind her back. Is it easy to embroider me, you ungrateful little bastard! I dare say you never said thank you to your parents!"
Zhang Yunming laughed loudly: "Swear so happily!" The words fell, and he raised a fan to fend off the mud.
Shen Wen let out a sigh of relief, plus the bandits have implemented it, and put a big burden in his heart, and his emotions are high, and he eagerly said: "Since your father's man is a sergeant, it will save energy in training. I will write a training charter. , You must not only take your people to train you, but also give my second brother to let him take him to the border to train soldiers."
After Shen Wen finished speaking, he walked to the table, studied ink, and began to write. Zhang Yunming sat for a while, feeling curious, walked over and looked at it with his head tilted.
Zhang Yunzheng was embarrassed to walk over, so he frowned and built the wall, slapped the mud. Zhang Yunming raised his head and glanced at him, smirking, and seeing that Shen Wen had almost written it, he whispered: "Recruit: Get up in the morning, carry a weight of 30 kg, run for 20 miles; breakfast. In the morning, basic skills such as archery and fighting. Lunch. , Nap. In the afternoon, push-ups will not stop, one hour; sit-ups, one quarter of an hour, thighs up, two quarters of an hour. Run, run quickly for half a mile, jog for a hundred breaths, and run quickly...until dinner. Before going to bed , Lifting weights, 50 catties in one hand, a hundred hits each; holding a stone lock of 20 catties in each hand, doing boxing moves, from slow to illness, one thousand hits... Sergeant with three months of foundation, get up in the morning..." He raised his head and asked Shen Wen: "You are going to tire people to death, right"
Shen Wen said: "What are you talking about! Physical training, understand? These are all exercises to make soldiers strong and not weak."
Zhang Yunming pointed to the paper and said: "What are push-ups and crunches"
Shen Wen said: "I'll do it for you!" She chose a clean place, bent down, and did two push-ups. Then I got up, moved a few bricks and put them on the ground, put my feet on them, and did a few more demanding ones. She is good at light work and lacks arm strength. After doing a few, she panted, stood up and said to Zhang Yunming, "You do it!"
Zhang Yunming turned on the mud water fan and fanned it slowly, probably so as not to fan the mud water on his face, and said helplessly: "I can't do it!" He turned to Zhang Yunzheng and said, "You come and try."
Zhang Yunzheng walked over with an unhappy look, muttering: "What's so great about this." Bend down beside Shen Wen, Shen Wen gave him a corrective action: "The arms are separated, slightly wider than the shoulders, and the toes are resting on the ground... ...Yes, that's it, force your waist and abdomen! Straighten your body and open your elbows... OK... The whole body sinks like an iron plate, control it with your arms, and get up again... Right! Humph, what's so great about this, then you Go ahead and see how much you can do."
Push-ups are said to have been invented by Jerickrevilla, and they have been formally popularized since 1905. However, some sources say they were invented by the Roman Emperor Constantine. This is a devil action hated by many people. It can simultaneously exercise the human chest, spine, upper arms, forearms, abdomen, buttocks, and upper and lower legs. It can improve the level of muscle endurance. It is a representative indicator of the whole body muscle endurance for future generations. It is widely used in the physical training of the army and schools.
Zhang Yunzheng has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, so naturally doing dozens of moves has no problem. But after doing a lot of things, I got a little sweaty. Shen Wen said critically: "You can't bend your back, your arms should go to this side... If you are not tired, just do it with one hand..."
Zhang Yunzheng jumped up and said angrily: "You have only done a few! Just here to point fingers!"
Zhang Yunming nodded: "That's right, you just got out of breath after doing seven. My brother has done more than a hundred."
Shen Wenyang's chin: "He is a man! A man! A man has a lot of muscles! He has to do hard work, otherwise, why do he want a man and he won't have children!"
Zhang Yunming looked at Shen Wen from the corner of his eye: "Listen to you, you seem to look down on men."
Shen Wen immediately smiled: "Of course I can afford it! Otherwise, where can I find money?"
Zhang Yunming said to Zhang Yunzheng: "I think she is scolding us."
Zhang Yunzheng said viciously: "Don't give her any money!"
Shen Wen said pitifully: "If you don't give me money, I won't be able to run a wine cellar, make weapons, strengthen borders..."
Zhang Yunming raised a fan: "Alright, alright! No need to read the seedlings! There is also this sit-up."
Shen Wen couldn't lie on the ground in front of them, so he said to Zhang Yunzheng, "You lie down."
Zhang Yunzheng frowned: "Why is it me again!"
Zhang Yunming slapped the fan elegantly, "Because I am a talented person! I can't do anything insulting gentlemanly."
Shen Wen turned his head and reprimanded: "What insults gentleman is not to let you undress or something."
Zhang Yunming covered his face with a fan: "Oh my God! How could Miss Shen Er be so rude!"
Shen Wen urged Zhang Yunzheng: "Hurry up! I have to go!"
Zhang Yunzheng lying on the ground reluctantly, Shen Wen squatted beside him and pointed: "Put your hands behind your head, press here! Raise your legs, bend your knees...just let your head go here...put it down...get up again... ..." Seeing Zhang Yunzheng had no difficulty, Shen Wen said: "Straighten your thighs and circle your legs..."
Zhang Yunming laughed again, and Zhang Yunzheng stood up with a carp, glaring at Shen Wen and said, "You fool me!"
Shen Wen was angry: "The old hat! That's more tiring than sit-ups. Go back and try it yourself! See how many circles you can draw."
Seeing that Zhang Yunzheng was in a hurry, Zhang Yunming hurriedly rounded off: "What's the matter with this boxing action?"
Shen Wen said: "You know martial arts, do you still use me to speak?" She bent down, picked up two bricks, one in each hand, and said: "Heavy boxing is for this..." She stopped with both hands on the waist and then punched. Holding the bricks, he shot out slowly, and said: "You have to punch slowly and have a turning motion to develop muscles. If you are fast, it depends on thrust, not arm strength. Look at my waist! You need to use your waist. Strength, there is a twist here! If you only rely on your arms, it will be difficult for people who do not know how to martial arts to gather strength. Therefore, the strength is here! Seeing that there is no lower abdomen, it will naturally tighten! When changing punches, Shoulder move..."
Zhang Yunzheng frowned to look at Shen Wen's soft and round waist. On one side of his face, Zhang Yunming nodded with a smile, and slammed Zhang Yunming with a punch. Zhang Yunming became refined for a long time, turned his head back, and said angrily to Zhang Yunzheng, "What are you going crazy! Her method is very good, and those who don't have a martial arts master can also practice punching! This has lasted a year and a half. , Ordinary soldiers can also strike forcefully."
Shen Wen finished the action, threw the bricks, clapped his hands and said: "After practicing, there should be no problem with one-handed handstands and pull-ups! I told you, you have the opportunity to talk to my second brother. He said that he was going to the border gate and had to train. In the mansion, I had to make up a reason for every trip to my second brother's yard. Moreover, he was leaving in a few days, so I was too embarrassed to go often. , I have to let my second sister-in-law be with him."
Zhang Yunming nodded and said, "I'm planning to invite him to dinner and give him a vacation. I will tell him again when the time comes."
Shen Wen thought of another thing, and whispered: "Do you have any extremely reliable people who can give my second brother a knife to him in the future? This really makes me uneasy."
Zhang Yunming frowned and said, "My people usually go out with me. There are too many people who have seen them. If you really want it, it must be his person." He raised his chin to Zhang Yunzheng.
Shen Wen knew that Zhang Yunzheng's secret had not been leaked out, showing that the people around him were reliable, so he agreed to say, "That's great!"
Zhang Yunzheng raised his eyebrows: "What's so great, do I agree?"
Shen Wen pouted at Zhang Yunzheng, and said coquettishly: "Why don't you agree not to be kiddy!"
Zhang Yunzheng looked at Shen Wen's little pig face and said angrily: "You are the kid!"
Before Shen Wen had time to speak, more gongs came from the street in the distance. She was shocked: "I have to go! Otherwise it's going to dawn!" Then she waved her hand, listened to the outside, opened the door and went out. Once she was off, she would never hear her voice again.
Zhang Yunming chuckled: "Well, you can give it to someone! In this way, we will also have contact with the border." Pingyuan Houfu spent so much money on the border, and there should be a contact person there. Otherwise, I don't know what the specific situation is.
Zhang Yunzheng did not speak, but went back angrily and continued to build the wall. He was seventeen years old and full of energy. At this moment, he felt upset. When a brick went down, he found that he was out of alignment, and he was so angry that he smashed the crooked brick.
Zhang Yunming yawned, folded the paper written by Shen Wen, put it in his arms, and said: "Let's go, go back to the house, we will take a good look at this tomorrow."
Zhang Yunzheng angrily threw the brick trowel to the ground. Zhang Yunming asked strangely: "What happened to you?"
Zhang Yunzheng said unhappily, "I'm sleepy!"
Zhang Yunming knew that Zhang Yunzheng often lost his temper inexplicably, and did not hold him accountable. The two of them blew the lamp and left.
-----------------------------------
The next day the court closed for baths, and officials at all levels did not go to the court, so they washed baths or traveled at home. At the end of noon, four or five staff of the East Palace waited outside the study room where the prince usually worked. The season has entered May, the sun is shining, and people are scorching hot. A few people stood under the eaves, clearly saying that it was a good time, but the two eunuchs guarding the gate of the courtyard refused to let them in, saying that the prince was busy.
Several people whispered some gossip, and then heard a few short screams from the study, followed by a high, dragging sound. These people have families, and naturally understand what is going on. While looking at each other, one person smiles awkwardly: "His Royal Highness, it's really... brave..."
The other person looked at the sky at noon, and didn't make a difference. The four words "Bai Ri Xuan-lewdness" flashed in the minds of several people at the same time.
One person said: "Or let's go back first"
One person disagreed: "The prince said yesterday that he would wait for me at this time. If he finds someone for a while and we are not here, what should I say"
Another humane said: "Let's wait, since it's here, I have to see you."
The court took a break every ten days. After going to the court, it was always late to discuss matters with the prince. Taking advantage of Xiu Mu today, I thought that I would say everything that I should say in the afternoon, so I could go home early, but now I have to wait, and several people are somewhat depressed.
This was almost an hour, during which some eunuchs carried the bathtub in, some of them carried various teas and meals, and some of them were holding stacks of robes.
None of these people said anything, but they couldn't help but wonder: why there are already more than 30 people in the harem of the prince at this time. Isn't there at least 30 rooms in the dormitory, why must they be in the study room? Later, I have to do some tasks, but there are nights every day, why can't I do it comfortably at night? I have to choose to toss like this during the day.
They naturally did not understand the so-called "the more taboo, the more exciting" theory of future generations. The prince now especially wants strong stimulation. Just because the study shouldn't be used for this, the study can make the prince want to do this. The time is the same. The more you know that someone is coming and can't do it, the more the prince wants to do it. If you don't feel so burdened with guilt, the prince won't be interested.
When several people waited until their waists and legs were sore, two soft sedan chairs were lifted out from inside, followed by seven or eight palace people. The hearts of several people who thought they would no longer be surprised were shocked again: two!
These people walked for a while before they were passed in.
They entered the study room, although the air was filled with water vapor and fragrance, but there was still a trace of erosion. The ground was wet, and a few people carefully avoided the water stains, and saluted the prince sitting behind the table with a look of apathy. There was a little drumming in his heart: Maybe he really should go home. The prince looked like he wanted to rest.
The crown prince waved his hand and said, "Fire Luo is a good deal. Now, let's talk about how you want to get that 300,000 catties of grain and weapon iron."
An official said: "There are several ways to obtain grain. One is to exchange sand and stone for the grain of the existing granary, which is to extract the grain and then mix the sand and stone into the rice. Moreover, the harvest has been Very well, the barns are full everywhere. I allowed one or two points to wear out in the granaries. Our people directly transported the grain out. As long as there is not much, no one will notice."
The prince asked: "Is there anyone in this place?"
The staff replied: "Yes, in several places, the prefects are all showing good things to the prince. As long as the prince needs grain, if they don't spend too much time, they will definitely be able to deliver it."
The prince nodded: "Is there any other way"
The staff replied: "Secondly, the Ministry of Households is already under the control of the Lu family, and the Ministry of Finance is even a direct line of the Lu family. In recent years, the state has sufficient tax and currency, and the last year's grain is extremely cheap. This spring, although there is little rain and many places are dry, But summer has only begun. Before the rainy season, there should be rain. Even if the harvest is average, the grain will not be expensive. If the grains obtained from various places are not enough, the grains are not expensive now. Let the people in the household department spend money to buy grains privately, and it should be able to make up for the shortfall."
The prince nodded again, and the aides continued: "We just can't make it all together. We can still rob the big grain store. A granary can guarantee half of the contract with Huo Luo!"
The prince was satisfied and asked: "Where are the weapons?"
Another staff member said: "This is actually the easiest. I haven't fought for many years, and the weapons in the armory are rusty and damaged, and no one will be suspicious when throwing out the finished car. We have put people in the position of the armory. When the time comes, it will be just a few pieces of paper saying that it is'scrap copper and iron', and things will be able to be transported out of the capital smoothly."
The prince let out a sigh of relief and asked, "Is Tugu Khan really that powerful?"
The staff said: "Before Huola came, Tugu Khan had just wiped out his elder brother's tribe, and behind, there were only three or two uncles and brothers, and no one could stop him."
The prince sighed, "I can't wait for this palace."
Everyone knew what the prince meant, and hoped that Tugu Khan would quickly recover the northern Xinjiang and be able to clean up the Shen Jiajun. Maybe it's because we've just waited outside for so long, and everyone feels a little flustered.
An staff member said: "When Huo Luo entered and left the city, the second and third sons of the Hou family in Zhenbei, the second son and the third son of the Hou family in Zhenbei, and the grandpa Zhang of the Pingyuan Hou family and a distant relative, all watched from the restaurant, as if they were full of sneers at Huo Luo. "
The prince frowned: "They got together again. They heard that Grandpa Zhang hid for a while, and he has shown up frequently recently."
The aides said: "Yes, he went to the south for half a year, and he returned at the end of the year. Now he is going to poetry clubs everywhere, eating wine with others, and playing chess with the four princes in Guanyi Pavilion."
The prince became angry: "He means that he is not afraid anymore!"
An staff member whispered: "There are rumors in the palace that the emperor does not want the four princesses and the eldest son of peace to marry."
The prince gritted his teeth: "It seems that the fourth child told him! The fourth child dares to gossip!"
Originally, the prince wanted a few people to actually find a marriage for the fourth princess, but now he heard that Zhang Yunming became active again, he couldn't accept it! I don't think Zhang Yunming can be so cheap anymore. Moreover, the four princes even spread the news to the outside world, which is obviously gloating: letting others know that the person he chose for the four princesses was rejected by the emperor!
The prince blurted out: "I still want to marry the fourth princess to him!"
Several other people in the room were silent for a moment, looking at the prince's gloomy expression, one of them whispered: "This is a good idea. The Pingyuan Houfu is really rich. The Li family is the eldest daughter of the richest man in the south of the Yangtze River. I heard that he was married at the time. There are tens of millions of money alone, and there are countless business shops in the capital and the farms around the capital. If the four princesses really marry, they will be the long-term wife. In the future, the wealth of the Pingyuan Houfu will not be..."
The crown prince was overjoyed and felt that he was foresight, but he hesitated and said: "How can I convince my father?"
One of the staff members said: "Can you find a chance to let the four princesses...Of course, this will make the four princesses a little wronged."
The prince nodded slightly: "Go and think of a few ways and tell me."
-----------------------------------------
Shen Jian had already decided to leave Beijing in early June. Before that, he had to do everything that Shen Wen had asked him to do. One of them is to talk to the old lady about Su Wanniang.
Shen Jian took an opportunity to help the old lady along the path to the backyard, and arrived at the small courtyard where the old lady lived. The old lady said, "You follow me and ask for blessings in front of the Bodhisattva." The two went to the temple. , Shen Jian really knelt, the old lady came to the door and asked people to leave, as if asking Shen Jian to pray. Shen Jian worshipped, then stood up, went to the old lady's side, and whispered: "Grandma, after I leave, you have to listen to the little sister."
The old lady was surprised, and Shen Jian immediately said, "Grandma, don't ask me why, and don't show the difference. You must do what she wants you to do in the future. Only in this way can we keep our home."
The old lady didn't dare not listen to Shen Jian's words. The last time Shen Jian made a shot, more than a hundred lives were not mentioned, and soon the queen who had poisoned Shen Wen in public was actually abolished. The old lady just murmured unconvincingly: "Is it so bad already?"
Shen Jian nodded: "Yes, it's already very bad, the catastrophe has been done, and the prince wants my house to be full."
The old lady looked at the Buddhist altar and said with a trembling, "I thought it was just to say bad things about our family, so that your sisters could not find a good one, so that in the future, I will reduce some military expenses to the Lord Hou..."
Shen Jian sighed: "Grandma, don't think too much, just listen to me. Yan already knows that she will cooperate with the younger sister."
The old lady was still in shock: "Our Shen family, we have never done anything to apologize to our conscience..." She was always tearful, and her face was sad.
Shen Jian whispered: "It's he who can't tolerate us." The old lady looked up at Shen Jian suspiciously, and Shen Jian sneered: "We didn't have a slave face to get close, and I felt that we were sorry for him over there."
The tears in the eyes of the old lady slowly disappeared: "They want to hurt the strong and they want to teach us a lesson, we didn't hold on to it..."
Seeing that the people outside meant to come over, Shen Jian hurriedly said in a low voice: "There are a lot of eyeliners in the mansion. What we know now is the Qian family and his sister Wang Zhi's in the courtyard..."
The old lady was startled: "Qian!"
Shen Jian said hurriedly: "Grandma, be careful, don't show her, don't shake your face too much."
The old lady frowned: "I always found her fault before, and she won't be conspicuous even if I don't like it in the future."
Shen Jian said again: "Grandma must never tell my mother about this."
The old lady nodded: "I understand, she was brought up by the Qian family, and she can't hide her worries. If she knows, the Qian family will definitely be able to see it. How could it be like this! Decades of love..."
Shen Jian didn't have time to let the old lady sigh and whispered: "Also, my younger sister will ask her mother to recognize Su Wanniang as a righteous daughter. You have to watch. If my mother agrees, you don't agree. If my mother disagrees, you will You must agree. This matter must be unresolved, you cannot admit it, and you cannot deny it."
The old lady nodded slowly, and whispered, "You are putting up a guise."
The person taking care of the old lady arrived at the door, and Shen Jian saluted the old lady: "Grandma, take care of your grandmother when your grandson is not at home."
The old lady nodded and said: "Don't worry about the family, you are at the border, and help your father and brother."
Shen Jian saluted, the old lady watched him go, and then sat down in front of the altar, in a daze. After a long time, she began to stammer chanting. What to doubt.
Chapter 69
Zhang Yunming saw Shen Jian off at Li's Huanyin Pavilion and set up a table with only Shen Jian, Shen Zhuo, Zhang Yunming and Zhang Yunzheng.
After everyone's greetings, the brothers of the Shen family all went down, and only a few of the men in the Pingyuan Hou Mansion were left in the room.
Zhang Yunming said to Shen Jian: "You are going to the border, no matter how reliable the people around you, I wanted to give you a person, but the people around me often hang around with me outside, afraid of being recognized. This is me. Brother's person is also very reliable, so don't worry about bringing one."
Shen Jian's temperament often laughs on the surface, but in fact he rarely uses affection, since he was a child, he has not been lukewarm to the people around him. When I grew up, I knew that there were many eyeliners in the subordinates of the Zhenbeihoufu, and I didn't dare to trust it. He was not close to the two young men he had grown up with since childhood, let alone Wang Zhi, and there really is no helper he can rely on now.
Hearing what Zhang Yunming said, Shen Jian hesitated. Zhang Yunming pointed at the four young men behind Zhang Yunzheng and said to Shen Jian, "Just these few, you pick one."
undefinedZhang Yunzheng saw in the eyes of the sky that everyone around him was killed while ransacking his home, and seeing Shen Jian hesitating, thinking that he was doubting the reliability of people, he said: "They don't say anything else, loyalty is first-class."
Shen Zhuo also said: "Second brother, you really need someone close to you, otherwise you won't even be able to sleep peacefully."
Shen Jian glanced at the few people. They were of different heights, but they were all young, but they were only seventeen or eighteen years old. He said, "The people around me have malicious intentions. If yours reveals something, it's okay. I was killed first. Moreover, the border crossing is very bitter, no better than Beijing."
Zhang Yunzheng squinted at Shen Jian: "How can my people be so stupid?" There is a ridiculous ridicule of Shen Jian.
Zhang Yunming hurriedly picked up Shen Jian's words and said, "You don't have to worry about it. They have followed me since they were young... they shouldn't be weak in the martial arts they learned. As for rewards, I told them. Ten times the monthly silver, although it is a chore to go to the border with you, they will certainly not lose money."
Shen Zhuo sighed: "Second brother, that's richer than you!"
Shen Jian nodded: "Well, I will choose one so I can borrow some money from him."
Everyone laughed, Zhang Yunzheng asked a few people to come over, pointed to a big-waisted young man and said, "This is the Chinese rose..."
Shen Zhuo spit out most of the tea he had just drunk, and Shen Jian also half-opened his mouth.
Zhang Yunming smiled and said: "My cousin has a quirk, um, that is to name the servants in the yard girls."
Zhang Yunzheng's identity is the eldest lady. He hates this identity and also hates women. He didn't need a maid since he was a child, saying that he really became a lady. In line with the principle of being unhappy and wanting the people around him to be unhappy, since he bears the title of Miss Zhang, he has given names to the servants who have taken care of him since he was a child.
Zhang Yunzheng ignored their smiles, a strange expression that you really rarely see, and went on to introduce: "He is good at imitating other people's speech and tone."
Zhang Yunming snorted-Zhang Yunzheng used to make Rose pretend to be him when he was out of the house, and hid in the room saying that he was asleep. If I didn't insist on going in once to say goodnight, I don't know how many times I could be fooled by him.
Shen Jian was a little uncertain: "This, at the border, learn to speak..."
Zhang Yunzheng said: "Oh, he is such a big man, he must be okay when he fights and protects himself. However, the rose is especially lazy, so if you find him, don't expect him to serve you."
The rose said aggrievedly: "My son, I poured you a cup of tea!" Zhang Yunzheng's voice was used.
Everyone was surprised and funny, and Zhang Yunzheng said coldly: "That was years ago!" He then pointed to the next one: "This is a cuckoo, it looks pretty..."
The cuckoo has beautiful eyebrows and red lips, and has a kind of neutral beauty. But his expression was not feminine at all, and his brows were frowning, with a particularly cold look. Zhang Yunming knew that this was arranged by his father. At the critical moment, this person can pretend to be a woman and come forward instead of Zhang Yunzheng, because it is almost impossible for Zhang Yunzheng to pretend to be a woman.
Shen Jian immediately said: "He can't, he looks so good."
The little man beside Du Juan stabbed him and said, "Look, we all said you definitely can't do it!"
Zhang Yunzheng also said: "He actually wants to go the most." He said to Du Juan: "I can call your name, don't say I am unfair."
Cuckoo said angrily, "Why mention my appearance if you say that?"
Zhang Yunzheng said: "I can't see if you don't mention him, I don't think you are suitable..."
Dujuan frowned: "But I want to go!"
Zhang Yunming coughed: "In front of outsiders, don't fight." He said to Shen Jian: "These children grew up with me... and it is inevitable that they are not big or small."
Zhang Yunzheng pointed to the next one again: "This is Magnolia. It's very clever. It's best to find out what's the best."
The little boy named Magnolia smiled flatteringly, and Zhang Yunzheng sighed and said: "Even if you have little courage, you will run away first when you see something. Of course, if you can't escape, you will die."
Magnolia looked at Zhang Yunzheng moved: "My son, you really understand me."
Everyone laughed again, and Shen Jian looked at Yulan and said, "Just this small body, don't get tired." Yulan said with a big chest: "My martial arts are also good! I can persist in fighting against the son..."
Dujuan interrupted: "It's almost the same if I can persist in running."
Shen Jian smiled bitterly, looking at the last one, Zhang Yunzheng introduced, "This is cloves."
Now, both Shen Zhuo and Shen Jian are used to the names of these girls. They saw that Dingxiang had small eyes, the eyebrows were short at the tip of the eyebrows, the garlic nose, and the mouth was always pouting. Shen Jian was feeling this. His face was a bit connotative, and Zhang Yunming said: "Don't look at him like a traitor, he is actually the best."
Shen Zhuo laughed again, and Shen Jian also laughed: Lilac does look a bit like a traitorous official.
Ding Xiang muttered to Zhang Yunzheng, who had a calm expression, "Just let him say that I am your confidant!"
Everyone laughed: "Really a treacherous minister!" "Instigate discord!"
Zhang Yunzheng said: "Dingxiang can adapt to changes, be good at interacting with people, and martial arts is also excellent, but..." His words did not fall, the original very serious Dingxiang suddenly twisted his waist, and pulled out a handkerchief from his sleeve, with **** and one finger. Pinched, raised to the cheek.
His appearance made everyone except Zhang Yunzheng a chill. Zhang Yunzheng went on to say: "He likes to dress up as a woman. If you choose him, you should know what he likes most."
Looking at Lilac's narrowed eyes, and looking at the beautiful cuckoo with a look of disdain, Shen Jian shook his head regretfully.
Shen Zhuo frowned and said, "How are your people..." There is something wrong!
Zhang Yunzheng glared: "Whatever happened, they are all very good! They are all very loyal and reliable. They are loyal, keep their promises, and can sacrifice their lives to save the Lord. Unlike some people, they look normal, but I don't know how bad they are! "
Zhang Yunming nodded approvingly, Shen Zhuo was silent, Shen Jian thought for a while, pointed to Dingxiang and said, "I'll choose him."
Lilac put down his handkerchief and said with a smile: "The son is really good-sighted! I am my son's first adviser!" The woman said in a feminine tone.
Shen Jian said hurriedly: "You can't talk like that!"
Dingxiang immediately said in a normal tone: "Well, then the son, don't even think about borrowing money from me!"
Everyone laughed again, and Shen Zhuo said, "Sure enough, he is a smart man."
Zhang Yunming said to Shen Jian, "They are all spoiled, please bear with me. I told them yesterday, and he will be able to go with you right away."
Shen Jian also understood that he should let Pingyuan Hou Mansion put a man by his side. In the future, the two mansions would be well ventilated. He said, "It's all right, but he can't go back to the mansion with me today. He wants to be with the craftsmen who go to the border. Wait for me outside the city, cry to me about the sad life experience or something, and then I can take him in front of my eyeliner..."
Ding Xiang said suddenly: "Oh, acting! Great! I like acting the most!" He thought for a while and said, "I can preview..."
Zhang Yunzheng waved his hand: "Don't! Don't! I know you can perform well, there is no need to rehearse!"
Ding Xiang was full of tears: "My son! The slave family is about to go to the border..."
Shen Jian was taken aback, Zhang Yunming whispered to Shen Jian: "He likes to take the opportunity to pretend to be a woman and sing a song or something."
As soon as the voice fell, Dingxiang twisted his lower waist, and just about to sing, Zhang Yunzheng sternly said: "Don't sing! Otherwise I'm going to hit someone!" Seeing Dingxiang shut up disappointedly, Zhang Yunzheng calmed down his tone and said, "Go see you soon. After the second son of Shen, you can help him to watch the second son in the future, and take good care of yourself, don't be stupid!"
Ding Xiang was crying, and saluted Zhang Yunzheng: "Master Xie." He also saluted Shen Jian formally, "I have seen the second son of Shen."
Shen Jian nodded and said, "From then on, you will be called Zhang Ding." He clasped his fists to Zhang Yunzheng and Zhang Yunming and thanked him: "Thank you, I must treat Zhang Ding well...Zhang Ding!"
Zhang Yunzheng curled his lips: "This name has nothing special at all."
Zhang Yunming smiled: "Don't be special!" He waved to the young men: "You go eat."
The little servants saluted together, and as soon as they walked out the door, Zhang Ding let go of his voice and sang: "May the lotus is good, the moon is on the treetops, the slave family is leaning on the railing to look out, Lang Jun goes to Luyao..."
Someone shouted: "Who is this! What kind of drunkenness is going on in broad daylight!"...
The door closed, blocking Zhang Ding's magic voice from outside.
Several people in the room laughed. Shen Zhuo glanced at Zhang Yunzheng and said to Zhang Yunming, "Your cousin is really tolerant."
That's because he is locked up and there are only a few people around him, so the natural relationship is very strong. Zhang Yunming won't elaborate on this, but can only change the topic: "My brother...oh, I talked to me that day and said that he read a set of training programs for soldiers in the book, and he will tell you about it."
Zhang Yunzheng took out a piece of paper from his arms, which was Shen Wen's training schedule he copied, and put it on the table for Shen Jian and Shen Zhuo to read. Then he got up and went to a clearing next to the round table, showing the usual and advanced push-ups. As he did it, he repeated Shen Wen's instructions: "This palm...arm...". Then he did sit-ups again, and when he pointed to his abdomen and said, "I have to work hard!", his face turned red. In the end, he made a few boxing moves, and his mood became very bad and his face was unhappy.
While watching his movements, several people felt inexplicable: how he did it, they became angry. When Zhang Yunzheng finally finished, Shen Zhuo asked Zhang Yunming in a low voice: "You distant brother...has a bad temper."
Zhang Yunming nodded: "He has a spontaneous fire, so he will be angry..."
Zhang Yunzheng glared at Zhang Yunming.
However, Shen Jian admired those movements: "For ordinary people, without the teacher's instruction, these movements can quickly build up their bodies and fitness. I will do them." After he got up, he went to the open space in the house and started to do it. While watching, Zhang Yunzheng corrected Shen Jian's posture, still frowning.
It wasn't until Shen Jian did it right that the two returned to the table and sat down. Zhang Yunming greeted the wine and food, and everyone began to eat and drink, and Zhang Yunzheng's face slowly returned to normal.
The four of them ate and drank, and they said that when Shen Jian left, they would not bid farewell publicly. The craftsmen Zhang Yunming brought back from the south and found someone in the Houfu of Zhenbei to gather together, and then they met with Shen Jian outside the city. Zhang Yunming said that he would give the matter to Zhang Ding, and Shen Zhuo wrote the name of the craftsman he found. The secret letter of the address was delivered to Zhang Yunming.
Shen Jian carefully read the soldiers training regulations written by Zhang Yunzheng, and said to Zhang Yunzheng: "This is really detailed, thank you so much! It's a pity that I can't bring it. I have to give it to Zhang Ding and ask him to help me collect it."
Zhang Yunzheng couldn't tell him that this was actually Shen Wen's thing, he just transcribed it again, his face was a little red, and he took it.
Shen Jian now feels that Zhang Jiayuan's house master is really upset, angry for a while and shy, for no reason, but these have nothing to do with him, so naturally he will not pursue it.
After I finished talking about the matter and arranged, it was already afternoon. The four said goodbye to each other, with a hint of heaviness in the ease.
Zhang Yunming smiled and said to Shen Jian: "I hope that when we meet again, He Qing Haiyan, things are peaceful."
Shen Jian also nodded solemnly and said, "Let's work hard together."
The four people saluted each other, and Shen Jian and Shen Zhuo left first.
Zhang Yunming and Zhang Yunzheng were a little sad watching them mount up at the window. Although they believed that Shen Wen had a plan long ago and his father had officially participated, the other party was the prince, and they hadn't done anything yet, so they would inevitably have some faint concerns about the future.
For a long time, Zhang Yunming asked Zhang Yunzheng: "What do you want to do?"
Zhang Yunzheng said irritably, "I'm going to the best silk shop."
Zhang Yunming was a little puzzled: "The best place in the capital is naturally the "Fushuntang" opened by my mother. You can talk to your mother for whatever you want, and go there by yourself."
Zhang Yunzheng said impatiently: "I just want to go by myself, you don't care! If you don't want to go, you go home!"
Zhang Yunming curled his lips: "I'll accompany you. Seeing your hairy look, people might not believe that it belongs to the Pingyuan Houfu. I thought I was going to find the fault."
Zhang Yunzheng glared: "I'm full and I have nothing to do! You want to fight!"
Zhang Yunming turned around and walked out, saying: "I am the person who dislikes fighting with children the least! They always shame..."
Zhang Yunzheng chased him: "Who is the kid! You are!..."
The two rode to the front of the "Fushuntang" building, and saw a large black background with gold signs, shiny and shiny. The two guys in front of the door were neatly dressed and stood neatly. Seeing Zhang Yunming hurriedly saluting together, he shouted: "The big young man is here!"
Zhang Yunming smiled and nodded, and whispered to Zhang Yunzheng, "Look, the shopkeeper will be called out immediately, how troublesome!"
Sure enough, the two people had just got off their horses, and the reins in their hands were picked up by the little servant. A short middle-aged man covered in silk came out quickly from the building. His face was full of creases, and he saluted Zhang Yunming and led him. He walked inside, and said, "Oh! Grandpa! Why are you here today! How long have you seen this? But I still think of you in my heart this morning! Thinking: I don't know where the house is. Look how the grand prince is now! You can see it! Do you think this is what I told you about."
Zhang Yunming smiled as he walked and said, "When will you talk about me, you will only talk about money! I don't buy anything today, but my... cousin from the far house, you are looking for the wrong person."
He turned to Zhang Yunzheng and said, "This is shopkeeper Jiang."
The little man turned his eyes to look at Zhang Yunzheng behind Zhang Yunming, and immediately raised his hand to salute. Before Zhang Yunzheng could speak, he yelled, "Oh! This son!"
Both Zhang Yunming and Zhang Yunzheng were taken aback, thinking that he had seen something, the little man said solemnly, "This young man is handsome and has noble temperament! He is really outstanding! If you can use our new Jiangnan specialty "Songzhu" The series of brocades are made into ready-to-wear garments, and when they are worn, the son will be more detached and stand up, and there will be no dust..."
Zhang Yunming laughed and pushed the little man inward: "Don't bother with your tongue. Get things out. We watched and walked."
When they entered the door, they saw that the walls of the hall inside were filled with piles of material, radiant and gorgeous. There are counters in the lobby, and there are two wide corridors next to it. There are many side halls.
The small shopkeeper Jiang led them to a small hall, and a long case was leaning against one of the walls of the small hall, which seemed to be for people to choose materials. On the other side are tables and chairs, and the chairs are covered with beautiful brocade covers. Shopkeeper Jiang asked them to sit on the cumbersomely embroidered seats. When they had tea, they asked eagerly: "What do you want to see?"
Zhang Yunzheng was impatient for a long time, frowning and said: "Take out all your good black materials... um... you need some embroidered... patterns, beautiful... but not bright... the patterns should be lively..."
Shopkeeper Jiang frowned slightly: black! Also beautiful and lively! He quietly looked at Zhang Yunming--you, the distant brother, didn't come to kick the field, right
Zhang Yunming also didn't understand: "How can black and black be'good-looking'!"
Zhang Yunzheng was unwilling to explain, and waved to shopkeeper Jiang, "Go get it! I'll pick it, and I want the best black material!"
Shopkeeper Jiang hurriedly took the guy out, Zhang Yunming looked up and down Zhang Yunzheng suspiciously, frowned and said, "What are you going crazy again?"
Zhang Yunzheng stared: "Don't mess with me! I'm the most annoyed of shopping, I'm not happy!"
Zhang Yunming laughed, squinted at Zhang Yunzheng, and said to himself: "Are you the most annoying to buy things..."
Zhang Yunzheng looked unhappy, but his cheeks were a little blushing. Zhang Yunming understood. He drew out his fan, knocked down on his palm with the fan, his eyes slanted.
Zhang Yunzheng frowned and said to Zhang Yunming: "Don't knock! It's annoying! Or else, you go out and wait!"
Zhang Yunming smiled: "I'm not going to leave! I'll see how you choose black, nice, lively..."
Zhang Yunzheng whispered viciously: "Don't think I dare not fight here!"
Zhang Yunming said leisurely: "I don't dare! This is my mother's shop, what has been broken, but my mother's things. It was transported from the south of the Yangtze River so far, and it was smashed, so my mother will be upset to hit you Hit, I have to sit down and wait to see the material." He unfolded the fan, looked at the roof, and fanned it gracefully.
Zhang Yunzheng's clenched fist swayed in front of Zhang Yunming, and Zhang Yunming did not blink, but even hummed a small tune.
Just as Zhang Yunzheng was wondering if he really punched Zhang Yunming's nose, shopkeeper Jiang brought in with the guys carrying more than 30 pieces of material, and banged them on the long case.
Zhang Yunzheng, who had been impatient for a long time, stood up before the case and set aside the hidden flowers such as pines and cypresses. Shopkeeper Jiang smiled and said, "Yes, these are for the elderly..."
Zhang Yunzheng frowned and picked out the auspicious moire with the word "Fugui Tuan" and pushed it aside. Shopkeeper Jiang went on to introduce: "These are most suitable for middle-aged men..."
Zhang Yunzheng picked out the bright red flowers and butterflies on the black background. Shopkeeper Jiang was confused: "These should be for middle-aged women..."
Zhang Yunzheng pushed the picked one to the side, and there were only two horses left in front of him. One was jet black with dark lattice patterns, but the material was thick, and the other was black chiffon with dark waves on the edges.
Zhang Yunzheng's lips were pressed together, and his face was obviously dissatisfied. Shopkeeper Jiang decided that this person was really here to kick the court, and took a peek at Zhang Yunming.
Zhang Yunming laughed and asked: "If I make a trick, shopkeeper Jiang may let someone weave it."
Shopkeeper Jiang hurriedly said, "Of course!" He might have said in advance that the price would be very expensive in other homes, but this is the boss of the boss, and he needs to worry about the money if it is gracious, and he will say something in front of his wife in the future. Half a sentence, then he might manage one more shop!
Zhang Yunming smiled and said, "I want a black one with a little fat duck on it..."
Zhang Yunzheng raised his eyebrows and said, "Go on your side!"
Shopkeeper Jiang was in a daze--who would dare to scold Ping Yuanhou's eldest son like this!
Zhang Yunming raised his eyebrows: "I'm not leaving! Tell me what you want"
Zhang Yunzheng frowned and thought, hesitatingly said: "If you want to have the dark patterns of Pianfei Swift, the swallows must be particularly beautiful, preferably a little bit, a little bit dark blue, but not dazzling..."
Zhang Yunming interrupted with a smile: "You can draw the swallows to be fatter..."
Zhang Yunzheng scolded Zhang Yunming: "You go out! Don't get in the way here!"
Shopkeeper Jiang looked at Zhang Yunming again, and Zhang Yunming smiled: "The adults don't remember the villains, I don't know what you are."
Zhang Yunzheng pointed to the piece of chiffon and said, "I want this today."
Shopkeeper Jiang looked at Zhang Yunming, Zhang Yunming nodded, and stood up and said, "You go and make people weave according to what we said, choose the strongest material..." Zhang Yunzheng is obviously looking for night clothes for the little fat girl.
Zhang Yunzheng said: "And the best!"
Zhang Yunming's mouth twitched, and Zhang Yunzheng frowned and said, "What are you gonna do! I just... don't want to owe someone!"
Zhang Yunming rolled his eyes and looked at the sky, and then pretended not to see Zhang Yunzheng preparing to fight him, and said to shopkeeper Jiang, who was staring at him, very politely: "Treasurer Jiang, my brother... If we lose our temper, we don't dare to provoke him, just do as he says. I'm sorry to trouble you."
Shopkeeper Jiang said admiringly to Zhang Yunming: "The big young man is really huge!"
Zhang Yunzheng hummed coldly. He had been holding back in the room for a long time. He didn't bother to do it anymore. Seeing Zhang Yunming ignored him and pretended to be pretending to others, his heart became even more annoying. He didn't even say hello and went out. Away.
Shopkeeper Jiang accompanied Zhang Yunming out, and asked in a low voice: "Madam knows...this son...so..." Is that right for you?
Zhang Yunming sighed, "How can I bother my mother? This man is a little bully. He loves to fight. Give him what he wants, so he will have less trouble. I will not come in the future. If he comes by himself, he will give him whatever he wants. What about him, go to the house to settle the account, don't confront him, he has a bad temper."
The two of them walked out slowly as they talked. Zhang Yunzheng was impatient at first, and didn't want Zhang Yunming to come out to laugh at him, so he rode a horse by himself, and left with the servants. Zhang Yunming and shopkeeper Jiang arrived at the door, and only two of Zhang Yunming's own little servants were waiting at the door.
A line of luxurious carriages passed on the street. The curtains were royal golden yellow. Everyone evaded. The **** who drove shouted loudly, very arrogant.
Zhang Yunming turned his head and looked around. Shopkeeper Jiang stood on tiptoe and said, "This is the prince or princess in the palace, right?
Zhang Yunming smiled slightly, took some carelessly, and bid farewell to the shopkeeper Jiang, and signaled the little servant to lead the horse. He turned the rein on his horse and rode into the alley next to him.
Zhang Yunming's sloppy smile fell in the eyes of the fourth princess who had just returned to the palace from Changle Houfu to his uncle's birthday. She pointed at Zhang Yunming through the window screen and asked, "Who is that?"
Zhang Yunming is nineteen years old. Although it cannot be said to be abnormally handsome, his appearance is really superior. The face is straight, with thick eyebrows and handsome eyes, the bridge of the nose is straight, and the corners of the mouth are slightly raised, seeming to always contain a gentle smile. The gentle and bookish anger around him is mixed with an unspeakable sense of suave and chic energy. In addition, he is luxuriously dressed and wears everything that is exquisite, so that he does not care for the flower girl, but he is The famous romantic boy in the capital. When he went to the south, many women showed great hospitality to him. In the capital, there were also many ladies who would visit him near the poetry club to give him a peek or two. It's a pity that Luo Hua deliberately flows ruthlessly, and Zhang Yunming pretends not to understand. Had it not been for the five princesses who had met him when he was first in his youth, and the five princesses had inherited the charming and gentle posture of Concubine Chen Guifei, I really don't know who this high-eyed Young Master Zhang would look after.
The tyrant in the car mellowed by Zhang Yunming in front of the Fushun building, always hoping that the four princesses would not notice. At this time, I heard the four princesses asking questions, and hesitated.
This target, Zhan Wan, is almost fifty years old, and he used to come to various residences to serve as a teacher. After the four princesses broke her face, her temper was very tyrannical, and the people around her kept changing like water. Empress Jia felt that she couldn't do this, so she invited a few instructors to secretly suppress her.
At first, because the queen was supervising, the four princesses were still obedient, but after the queen was abolished, the four princesses became more irritable, became anxious, kicked and slapped people, and did everything. The other several taught Kishijixime, only this Chai Hirudo thought that the fourth princess was the prince's biological sister, and that he had a good relationship with the fourth princess. One day the fourth princess really grew up and sensible, and might be thinking about himself. The good thing is to open a way for one's offspring and stay.
A while ago, it had been spread in the palace that the prince chose the eldest son of Ping Yuanhou for the four princesses. The emperor and the queen disagreed. Now watching the handsome young man with an attractive smile, the fourth princess is also obviously interested in him, and Chaiba filter party falcon makes the fourth princess think that he shouldn't have.
Seeing Chai I and Xisang, the fourth princess opened her mouth and cursed: "My mother is no longer a queen, you are so rampant that you blinded your dog! My brother is still a prince! You don't want to live anymore!"
Hearing that his life was being threatened, Chai Huo Φ Tun returned to the ruined scorpion, no wonder, it was the old slave who didn't think of it for a while. "
The fourth princess said: "Don't worry! Who is that!"
Chai Angshen's corpse is all annoying, and it's Fushun Lou, his mother's dowry..."
The four princesses severely smashed the raking mound next to him, and Aojia Chuan didn't remember it for a while.' You didn't want to tell me at all! You old bitch! "She stretched out her hand to scratch the dark pasture
Chai Angpa and Mengzi often said in a hurry: "I really didn't think of it! The second son of Shen from the Hou family in Zhenbei often stays with the son of Zhang. The two of them are about the same age. I have seen both of them and confused. Yeah!"
Hearing the words "Zhenbei Houjia", the four princesses desperately tore Chai Annai in the car like crazy and cursed in their mouths: "Old thing! Dare to turn around and scold me, I tore you. s face!"
The face of the owner of this tomb was broken because of the second lady of the North Hou Mansion. He was really scared for a while, crying for mercy, and finally decided in his heart that he could not stay, otherwise it didn't matter. , I can't save my life.
The carriage entered the palace gate, and the four princesses lifted the curtains and kicked Chai Baren, who had been caught with a beaten head, and kicked the gulls off. Then he put on his veil, got out of the carriage, changed to Gong Hu, and said loudly to the eunuch: "Go and see my prince brother!"
The fourth princess went to the East Palace in anger. The prince hadn't come down yet. The **** asked the fourth princess to sit in the living room and waited for the prince to return.
Waiting in the living room, the four princesses were too anxious to sit down. She looked at the door time and time again, listening to the voices of the eunuchs outside, wondering if the prince had come down. The thousands of words in her heart converged into two shouts: "Never let the five princesses marry the eldest son of Pingyuan Hou! He is my person!"
Although she had heard the prince say that Grandpa Zhang was a famous young man in Beijing, she hadn't seen him personally. I didn't expect him to be so handsome! So chic! So dressy! His smile is confident and arrogant, his posture on horse is so smooth, and his every move carries the poetic and artistic charm of Moshang's youthful feet. He is simply a living example of "Ruyi Langjun"!
No wonder people say that the five princesses and the ladies of the distant future are friendly! During the winter hunting, she honestly went to the banquet in the Zhenbeihou Mansion-because she knew that the ladies of the Zhenbeihou Mansion were with the ladies of the Pingyuanhou Mansion, and she could go there with Pingyuanhou. The young lady is almost close!
Not to mention whether they have seen it before, that winter hunting, I heard that the fifth princesses escaped with the third prince with the young lady who was in peace, so the fifth princess must have been with the third prince that time! I just glanced through the screen window today, but the five princesses are walking with him!
Anger and jealousy are like fire, and the four princesses gnash their teeth: The prince's elder brother has appointed her a son Zhang, everyone in the capital knows! She must marry Grand Master Zhang, and absolutely cannot give such a good marriage to the fifth princess!
Chapter 70
The prince was very nervous in the court.
During this period, it was reported from all over the country that it had not rained much since the spring. After the summer, the weather was extremely hot, and the land was dry and cracked. I hope that the summer food will not be guaranteed. I hope the court will consider tax cuts.
Since ancient times, this piece of land has been farming land. Naturally, it depends on the sky for food. There are many records in the history of drought and flood. The measures taken by the imperial court and the benefits have been proven many times. What kind of disaster is really encountered, like 18 martial arts, and in the end, the emperor will have to sin against himself or something.
The ministers in the court citing scriptures were nothing more than opening warehouses to release grain, opening canals to divert water, helping farmers, and tax relief. The emperor was not particularly concerned: it was only a few months before the summer began. Who said it would not rain? These memorials were just asking for tax cuts on the ground. Who doesn't know that the money and food will be left to themselves if they are not handed over to the capital. Farmers can really pay less food to deceive anyone who thinks that the emperor does not understand these tricks. Besides, there are plenty of granaries everywhere, and there is a small drought, what can I worry about?
After a long period of discussion, the emperor did not implement any major measures. The last thing is to let the local governments save themselves, failing to agree to tax cuts and other requirements.
undefinedThe prince listened to the comments of the ministers, and muttered in his heart: Last year he played against the three princes. He bet that this year would be a good year and the price of food would fall, but the three princes let people store food for shortage. Why did it dry out this spring, and there was rain in the back, and this year's harvest has also been discounted. On the market, the price of food is getting higher day by day. Does this mean that the three princes won the emperor, do you remember that incident last year and felt that they were not as accurate as the three princes?
Every time a minister stated that he wanted to prepare for disaster relief, the prince became suspicious, thinking that the other party was building momentum for the three princes and vigorously exaggerating the possibility of drought. He privately remembered the names of these people one by one, and planned to save them all when he went back. In the future, he would keep track of the actions of these people. If he can replace them, he can replace them if they can. Don't let those who have listened to the words of the three princes stay on the front. .
The prince was extremely afraid that the spring drought would intensify and it would turn into a real drought. Seeing that the emperor was not so serious, he screamed luck in his heart, so naturally he would not respond to the words of the ministers who reminded the emperor to make some preparations. He was completely obsessed with the emperor's head. He fully agreed with what the emperor said. When asked if he had any suggestions, he said that he wanted to "listen to the emperor's father" or "the emperor father just said..." This kind of courtesy allowed the emperor. I like it, but the prince said too much, and he seemed very clueless, which made the emperor look down on it a bit.
At the end of the day, waiting for the ministers to retreat, the emperor motioned to the prince to come and see him.
When the prince walked to the royal study room, a civil servant of the Eastern Palace hurriedly rushed to the prince and whispered: "His Royal Highness, this spring drought is coming so fiercely. We are looking forward to a good year, but we must also prepare countermeasures. Your Royal Highness can persuade the emperor to advance. If you are preparing for disaster relief, you will not be in a hurry if you really become a disaster. You can't wait for the real particles to be harvested and the farmers have left their homes before implementing emergency rescue measures. We must calm the people's hearts early, otherwise they will cause chaos..."
The prince frowned and reprimanded in a low voice: "Did you also listen to the fallacy of the three princes! What kind of disaster year! Now it has been drought for a few months, what kind of disaster is going to be rescued! It's really a snake shadow!"
The civil official hurriedly apologized: "Your minister has not considered it well, and I hope your highness will forgive you."
The prince hummed away, ignoring the civil official who bowed and saluted.
The emperor sat firmly in the imperial study room, drank a cup of tea, and the prince arrived. The emperor looked at the prince, and said indifferently: "You don't have any suggestions this day, but because you don't want to speak in front of the ministers, do you want to tell me privately?"
The prince hurriedly saluted: "My father is very wise, and the child dare not make an axe. Now it is only a drought in spring, and the child thinks that there is no need to worry too much, maybe midsummer rains are abundant, and the drought will be self-solving. Even if there is a summer drought, I will pay taxes these years. The grain is sufficient, even if there is no harvest for two years, there should be enough grain to cope."
The emperor nodded in approval and said, "I also don't think I need to panic at this time. Those people have become frightened by the disaster year, and I can't wait to fight when there is a turmoil."
The prince hurriedly said: "Father, the emperor calmly dealt with it, he is really a master of the ages."
The emperor laughed: "My family doesn't need to be so complimented." But he felt very comfortable.
The prince saluted again: "The father and the emperor are worthy of his name, comparable to Yao and Shun, radiant as the sun never sets, and indeed the emperor of China."
The emperor laughed even more: "Okay, okay, your mouth is getting sweeter and sweeter, let's go down!"
The prince left and breathed a sigh of relief, but the worries in his heart did not abate at all: He now wholeheartedly hopes that there will not be a disaster year, lest he loses his face to the third prince completely. Really like that, what would the father think about his courtiers...-thinking of the ending, he sweated all over, wishing to kneel on the spot and beg God for help. He decided to ask his staff to entrust the monks and priests in the surrounding monasteries to pray for the heavens and pray for rain on his behalf.
Back in the courtyard of the East Palace, the **** reported that the four princesses had been waiting for him for half an hour, and the prince was also about to inquire whether the four princesses were willing to wrong her for her own'done done', so he went to see the four princesses in the living room.
"Brother prince!" Finally seeing the prince, the fourth princess said anxiously: "I don't want to change the marriage you ordered me!"
The prince sighed and whispered: "My sister also knows that neither mother nor father wants to agree to this marriage."
The four princesses stomped their feet again and again: "I promise! You arrange for me!"
The prince looked around, the palace people all stepped back, and the prince whispered: "Are you willing to...try to use a done-for-you plan?"
The fourth princess blushed a little, but immediately said eagerly: "Whatever it is, I must have this marriage! Today I went to my uncle's house, where a bunch of gangsters came to show me their courtesy! One by one. It's just a trash snack! I don't want to marry those people! Pingyuan Hou Mansion is so rich! The capital is full of their businesses. Prince elder brother, help me!"
Since the staff pointed out that Pingyuan Hou Mansion had great wealth, the more the prince thought about it, the more he felt that it was an excellent thing for the four princesses to get married with Pingyuan Hou Mansion. People feel the reliability of power and money when they are unpredictable. The prince thinks that if the four princesses become the long-term wife of the Pingyuan Hou Mansion in the future, it will definitely help him a lot. At the very least, in the event that there is another competition with the three princes in the market like last year, relying on the many businesses controlled by the Pingyuan Houfu, he can easily win.
The crown prince nodded and said: "Well, you will be in a hurry next year. We should not move too early, otherwise if the father refuses to propose marriage because you are not in time, Ping Yuan Hou will be able to find a reason to reject it. Next year, as soon as you reach the temple, we will make arrangements. After the accident, he will be responsible immediately and get married immediately, otherwise you will find life and death, and I will not believe that the father is not allowed to marry."
The fourth princess smiled with joy and said to the prince, "Brother prince, you are so kind!" Thinking of marrying the young man who smiled in the spring breeze I saw today, the fourth princess's chest was immediately refreshed, and the gloom after the shame was wiped out. ! Such a chic gentleman, such a big family business! Your future is full of sunshine! I'm so angry with the five princesses, what's the use of going to make friends with the young lady of Pingyuanhou's Mansion?
The fourth princess smiled uncontrollably behind the veil, and returned to her palace. She was in such a good mood that even the scratched Chai Pa Krypton didn't stop her from leading her, and she was only deducted from her salary for half a month.
Chai Ba Qiu Pinnai and Yao resented that they had not received this half-month salary. If it were not for the middle and lower family, she would not have to suffer for her livelihood and future generations at such an age. What I thought was that it was an honor to teach the princess, and she could attract more customers by playing this sign in the future, so she didn't care too much about the small amount of money raised with the queen. But now not only has been doing nothing for half a month, my face has been scratched, and I have to ask a doctor, and there are expenses again, and the compensation is large inside and outside.
Chai Pao spent half the night, and early the next morning, he went to Pingyuanhou's Mansion and asked to see Li's.
At the beginning, the Li family met almost all the teachers in the capital, Ai Chai, Cai Cai, in order to ask Zhang Yunjin for advice.
Hearing that there was a teacher Chai Hake who saw him, Li was puzzled, he couldn't remember this person anymore, but worried that this Ang Sheng Xing Cai Chui Pao Ni Mu Dai Yu took a moment from his busy schedule and asked him to press Chai Chai. Came in.
When Li saw Chai Ba Pa's panic, Chai Aocheng's Emperor Lei Ying still scratched some of her eyelids, and the corners of her mouth were cracked. Chai Diao Xin died, and Li hurriedly let her sit, and asked with concern: "Chai Ba stalks and pokes
Chai Baiguyan was enthusiasm for Song Qu. After returning home, he couldn't cry in front of the juniors. He originally wanted to come to sue, but Li was always polite and his tone was touching. Chai Aunghui started crying immediately after he swayed and said: "Madam! I'm... because the eldest son..."
Li was shocked, and immediately pressed his unhappiness, and asked politely:
The owner of the tomb of Pan, the relict of the sandfly and the miasma, came back from the Changle Houfu. When he passed the Fushun Tower, the old man Zhang was chatting with the shopkeeper there, and then got on his horse and left. The fourth princess asked me who it was, but I didn't answer immediately. The fourth princess said that he wanted the prince to kill me. I could only tell her that it was Prince Zhang. She was even more furious when she heard that, saying that I was deliberately hiding from her, scratching and scratching me all the way, kicked me out of the car when I got to the palace, and went to see the prince. When she came back, although she was happy again, but I asked to resign, she didn't even pay me half a month's salary! I have to go to see a doctor, my life is so terrible! ..."
Li came out in a cold sweat, barely kept his face calm, and hurried people to fetch twenty taels of silver, and wandered around Chai Badanmu's bank in secret to learn from my lady's teaching position. I haven't seen it for many years. Silver is regarded as a reward, please forgive the addiction!
Chai Scar said it was twenty taels. It was her salary for two months. She felt happy and stopped crying. He took the silver and said, "Thank you, Madam for being compassionate, but you have to be careful..."
Li interrupted: "Aoyanta's pure stupid Shao Xiao school has to heal the wounds cut by branches earlier." There was no mention of the four princesses.
Dad Chai said that Li was pretending to be confused, but he brought the words to him and took the money. He thanked him again with a smile and left.
Li hurriedly invited Ping Yuanhou, and whispered the Chai Dark Screen Eight Pirate Ship Huai Miao Ping Yuanhou to play with Yuqiu, with a sneer on his face.
Li asked: "Master Hou, what does she mean?"
Ping Yuan Hou smiled: "No matter what she means, madam, don't worry, everything is mine."
Li sighed: "You didn't see Chai Aocheng's daughter-in-law, Mei Xianzi, as if you met a mad dog."
Pingyuan Hou laughed: "I didn't meet a mad dog."
Li's groans: "Don't take it seriously. If such a person gets married, our house will have no peace at all."
Ping Yuan Hou snorted: "How could they treat our mansion as something"
-------------------------------------------
"She treats your house as a fat sheep!" Shen Wen said.
This night she went to the small courtyard that Zhang Yunming bought again. This time Zhang Yunming opened the door for her - Zhang Yunzheng was wiping the wall.
Shen Wen sat down, Zhang Yunming was a little depressed, his face drooping, Shen Wen asked curiously: "What's wrong with you?"
Zhang Yunzheng said happily: "What else can the peach blossoms come here! I heard that the fourth princess saw him, so she went crazy with the teaching and went to see the prince, and then came back happily!"
Shen Wen suddenly said: "Oh! She must be asking the prince, and the prince promised her!"
Zhang Yunzheng smiled at Zhang Yunming: "I really don't know what she asked for! I don't want to be a maid for you, the prince promised."
Zhang Yunming was angry: "You dare to laugh at me! You provoked me! It's not because you want to go there!"
Zhang Yunzheng pouted: "If she can't see you there, she doesn't want to marry in. Don't you know what she thinks of our house"
Shen Wen then gave a summary of the "fat sheep".
Zhang Yunzheng smirked and winked at Zhang Yunming: "Our mansion is a fat sheep, you are a big piece of fat! Let them succeed, and they will definitely be fattened."
Zhang Yunming said with some emotion: "Just because we are rich, they think that rich people are big fat pigs and should be slaughtered."
Zhang Yunzheng looked at Shen Wen sideways: "Do you think so too"
Shen Wen hurriedly said with a soft voice: "How come! Am I not for our two residences nor for myself, I am not that stupid."
Zhang Yunzheng shuddered and said with a sullen face: "Can you not talk like this! Why are you not stupid! What is meant by not for yourself?"
Shen Wen waved his hand: "Who didn't know that your father only wanted money, but the Li family, the richest man in the south of the Yangtze River, married his most important eldest daughter, and added a lot of dowries."
Zhang Yunming asked: "What can we see from this?"
Shen Wen said of course: "It can be seen that your father can not only keep the money, but also help the Li family to keep rich! The Li family is so rich and must be a successful businessman. The nature of the businessman is not to make a loss-making business. Putting a good daughter and so much money on your dad is not for the sake of making money! It's not clear that it's almost 20 years, your mother's money is a little bit less, but the parents of Li will not fall in the year, it can be seen that You invested the wrong money. Your father must be very good, so I won't be so stupid to mess with him."
Zhang Yunzheng vented his nose with contempt, and Zhang Yunming laughed: "You can see it right."
Shen Wen asked: "Then what are you worried about?"
Zhang Yunming sighed: "It's not worried, it's upset!"
Shen Wen smiled and said: "You don't need to be upset, I will give you some advice then, it will be fine."
Zhang Yunzheng coldly snorted: "Of course, she is a little liar, she will definitely be better than those people."
Shen Wen looked back and glared at Zhang Yunzheng: "You don't know how to say good things! Little bastard! Didn't grow up at all!"
Zhang Yunzheng said: "Why do you have to say good things? Isn't it true? When you grow up, you can't tell the truth."
Shen Wen saw that Zhang Yunzheng could not be said, so she immediately changed the way, clapped her hands and smiled and said, "I hate it, you have grown up! You are so sensible!" She has been playing tricks on the people around her to get what she wants since she was a child. Sweet talks, good talks, and the tone is always empty. Speak out now, with a light tone and sultry.
Zhang Yunzheng immediately blushed with anger, ignored Shen Wen, and concentrated on wiping the wall. Shen Wen was surprised that Zhang Yunzheng turned around and seemed to be a little older than the boy who was confused in his head before.
Zhang Yunming smiled and handed over a bag of clothing, and said: "This is the night clothes for you."
Just as Shen Wen was about to decline, Zhang Yunzheng turned his head and said with a sneer: "You won't pretend to ignore this kind of advantage."
Shen Wen took it and grimaced at Zhang Yunzheng: "Do you want me or not, can you control it!"
Zhang Yunming clapped his hands and laughed. When Shen Wen just came in, his frustration was wiped out.
Shen Wen looked at the almost finished white wall and said, "It's great, I can use the secret room when I come back."
Zhang Yunming said: "If it weren't for someone's horns, you could have come this time." Seeing Shen Wen's doubts, he snarled at the wall. Shen Wen took a closer look and yelled to Zhang Yunzheng: "What are you doing back and forth! This is not already very smooth!"
Zhang Yunzheng said contemptuously: "You are really ignorant! Look, here, here! So many pimple!"
Shen Wen stamped his foot: "This is the outer wall of the secret room! It must be blocked by furniture outside. Why are you so delicate? I have to start working!"
Zhang Yunzheng coldly snorted: "You didn't come a few days ago, you must have eaten and slept at home! I have been working here for an extra day to delay you little liar!"
Shen Wen wowed: "Asshole! You wipe it so flat, no one will see it in the future!"
Zhang Yunzheng glared: "I just need to look comfortable, and don't care what others think! You don't care about me!"
Shen Wen picked up the fabric: "I don't care about you. I will come next time. If you are still mopping the wall, I will give you everything!"
In Zhang Yunming's laughter, Zhang Yunzheng shouted at Shen Wen's back: "Dare you! I will draw a big **** on your face!"
Zhang Yunming smiled and bends over: "She is a girl, what's the point of drawing a bastard?"
Zhang Yunzheng also stared at Zhang Yunming: "You don't care! I can paint whatever I want!"
Zhang Yunming pointed at him: "Why don't you tell her that you bought her the material"
Zhang Yunzheng pouted: "What do you mean by buying it for her? Would she ask for it? Didn't you say that it was just a loss to her, and she would accept it."
Zhang Yunming smiled and raised his hand: "Okay, it's a loss, can it be considered that I bought her for her"
Zhang Yunzheng wielded a brick knife: "I want to fight!"
Zhang Yunming said hurriedly: "Don't fight, don't fight, break this wall a bit, you won't be smearing it for ten and a half days."
Zhang Yunzheng wiped it out angrily for a long time, and only after Zhang Yunming yawned and urged him to stop working.
Shen Wen returned to his room, gave the fabric to Su Wanniang and went to bed. When she got up the next day, Su Wanniang whispered to Shen Wen: "The material is very good, where did you get it?"
Shen Wen said: "It was given by Mr. Zhang, because that **** soiled my night clothes, I asked him to pay..." At this point, Shen Wen was startled: At that time, Zhang Yunzheng was asked to pay, but what happened? Zhang Yunming who paid for this to herself is supposed to be Zhang Yunzheng... But before she can figure it out, Su Wanniang said anxiously, "How can you be so stingy! How can I make people pay for your night clothes because I was outside? It's made of burlap and it's worthless."
Shen Wen smiled and said, "But you embroidered it, it's precious!"
Su Wanniang sighed: "Oh my God! This is going to be a joke! Are you still a lady in the Hou Mansion? It's a lady selling broad beans! Asking for money bit by bit."
Shen Wen giggled, forgetting what had just been thought.
Su Wanniang touched the exquisite material and said: "This material is a waste of night clothes, and it has become a jinyi night clothes."
Shen Wen said indifferently: "If you don't do it, you can't give it to the old lady and mother. Do it, it's easy to cause trouble if you leave it there." There is black cloth in the little girl's room, which is to be suspicious.
Su Wanniang felt violent, but she still cut her hands and made night clothes for Shen Wen. Shen Wen now grows more than two inches a year, and at least the pants have to be made three times a year before they will become suspenders.
She saw that Shen Wen had brought back dried fruit last time, and this time he had brought back the ingredients. The only thing she said was that Mr. Zhang looked at Shen Wenxiao and didn't usually give some food. When she heard Shen Wen said that he would lose his clothes, it was very difficult. She gave the material gracefully, and she never thought that Zhang Yunzheng would buy it. Having said that, if it is privately given, it is generally not always given to a jade hairpin, who would give a piece of black material to her. Under the influence of the four princes, her vision is not broad enough, so she has no suspicion.
-------------------------------------------------
Yang's daily activity now is to pack Shen Jian. This was the second son she was going to send away, and Yang felt that his heart was going to hurt to death.
She began to really regret marrying a military commander, and the sons who had been together with Zhenbeihou over the years, who had been able to raise them so easily, were sent to the remote border one after another.
Yang quickly became haggard, and gray hair appeared on his forehead before he was forty years old. She has a short temper every day, speaks frequently and yells loudly. The old lady avoids her and usually doesn't get along with her. Because the Liu family had to take care of most of the affairs in the mansion, he had to take care of two young children, and he didn't always guard the Yang family. Yang felt ashamed of Yan, so she wouldn't let her stand and behave. Shen Xiang only asked to see you in the morning and evening, and then there was no shadow in one day. Shen Qiang, who was only three years old, did not hesitate to come and provoke the Yang clan.
In the past life, Shen Wen hid in her yard every day during this period. She felt that the farther away from the Yang family, the better. In this life, she went to the Yang family every day, demanding this and that, to please a sentence or two.
This morning after the invitation, I saw Yang frowned again, and all the children, except Shen Wen, looked like they were about to leave. Yang was impatient and motioned for them to leave. Yan wanted to leave because Shen Jian, Yang asked her to leave with Shen Jian. Liu also retired with his two young children. The old lady Yang left in the room, Shen Qiang, who was three years old but about the same height as the five or six-year-old child, and Shen Wen, who was twisting her handkerchief on one side.
Yang frowned and looked at Shen Wen: "What do you want?"
Shen Wen groaned: "I want my mother to accept my sister Wanniang as a righteous daughter..." She deliberately picked Yang and said when she looked upset.
Sure enough, Yang's brows furrowed tighter, a little embarrassed: "This..."
The old lady also looked at Yang, and Yang hesitated: Su Wanniang has been very good to Shen Wen over the years, and she is really like a sister. Even if she took her as a righteous daughter, what happened at most was accompanied by a hundred or two dowry. She also gave her daughter a sincere friend... She nodded and just about to agree, the old lady rushed and said: "Wen'er is about to be twelve years old, wait two or three years, wait until Wen'er arrives, then then Yes, I can also give the two children a gift together."
Yang is much lazy now, and her mother-in-law opened her mouth and said, "That's fine."
Shen Wen pouted a little bit, looking disappointed, but didn't ask any more: the old lady agreed, what else is there to be noisy, it's just that the days are a bit farther, the night is long and there are many dreams, I don't know when it will be. What's it like?
Shen Qiang yelled, holding a cloth tiger in his hand, and crawling on Yang's knee. The old lady smiled and said, "Qiang'er said that you are a mother."
Yang struggled to hold the heavy Shen Qiang on his lap, and said, "It's nothing if you don't talk. It's better not to talk for the rest of your life! It's so good to be with your mother!" She cried at the end of her speech.
The old lady is dissatisfied: How old is she still talking angry! Just about to ask Shen Wen to help her go back, someone came to report that the Yan family's Sanfang couple came to visit the Yan family, and first came to say hello to the old lady and the Yang family.
The Yang family was afraid that Yan's family would be instigated by the teacher: the daughter of the family was married for only a year, and there are no children, and the husband will go to the border, which is too sorry. I was busy asking someone to ask him, put Shen Qiang on his knees on the ground, got up to arrange his clothes and headwear, and greeted him.
Shen Wen took Su Wanniang and pulled Shen Qiang to the side of the hall. Shen Qiang grabbed Su Wanniang and yelled. He was too heavy. Su Wanniang could not hold him anymore, so she had to sit down and Shen Qiang also climbed onto Su Wanniang's knees. , And yelled twice, and then even honestly, leaning on Su Wanniang's arm to play with his cloth tiger.
Yang's voice came from outside the house, and Shen Wen walked to the curtain and looked out quietly.
Yang let two people in. The woman should be thirty-four or five years old, with long curved eyebrows, big eyes with double eyelids, and red lips. He was dressed in colorful, red and purple shirts with narrow sleeves and cross-necked collars. The long skirt underneath was dark and light green, and he was holding a colorful napkin in his hand.
As soon as she came in, the house seemed to fly into a large variegated flower. The man next to her was thin, ordinary-looking, and unusually simple in clothes, just light gray in summer with black borders.
Yang introduced to the old lady: "This is Yan's third uncle and third aunt, Yan Sanguanren and Yansan wife."
Both of them saluted the old lady. The old lady smiled back and hurriedly said, "Sit down, please!"
A few people sat down, and the old lady said, "It's summer now. It must have been a hard time for the two of you to come here."
Mrs. Yan San said in a refreshing voice: "No hard work, no hard work, my husband and I have been walking outside all the year round. This season is pretty good, isn't it?" She turned to ask Yan Sanguan.
Yan Sanguan smiled and nodded: "Hey."
Mrs. Yan San said again: "Old madam, madam, don't you know that the hardest thing to walk is not now, it's ninety-nine cold winters! It's snowing and windy, no matter how much clothes you wear, it's the cold wind blowing in. , I can't hide it. Isn't it"
Yan Sanguan nodded again: "Hey."
Yang thought she was talking about the weather in the border, and her face was embarrassed, so she smiled reluctantly: "Since the two are here, we will live more in the capital."
Mrs. Yan San waved the colorful handkerchief in her hand, and a small rainbow appeared in the sky, and said: "We came to see my niece. When she got married, we were far away and couldn't make it. At that time, we said we were walking back and forth. I will come to see her often, and don't feel sad if you miss the wedding, is it right?" She looked at the three officials.
Yan Sanguan nodded: "Hey."
If we met, Yan cried out. Will the slick-spoken Mrs. Yan San come to tell her that Yang's heart is prematurely imaginary, and smiled: "Then I will take you to see my second daughter-in-law. "
Mrs. Yan San said "Oh," and waved her handkerchief again: "Madam, there's something else! It's time to be busy! Let someone take us there, right?"
Yan Sanguan nodded: "Hey."
Yang said to Qian next to him: "You take the guests..."
The old lady said: "Let the second son and his wife come to see you. The elders have come so far, so let them pick them up in person."
Mrs. Yan San smiled and said: "Oh! Old lady, you don't need to be so polite. I watched that child grow up! Isn't it?"
Yan Sanguan: "Hey."
The old lady smiled and said, "This should be the reason."
The Yang clan motioned to the Qian family. Not long after, Shen Jian and Yan clan came to pay respects to Yan Sanguanren and Mrs. Yan San. Shen Jian asked Yan Sanguanmen to come forward, and Mrs. Yan San would follow Yan to return to the yard. .
Waiting for Shen Jian and the others to go out, the old lady said, "Let the second lady also come out and meet with relatives."
Yang asked Shen Wen to come out, and Shen Wen saluted Mrs. Yan San. Mrs. Yan San stretched out her hand and said: "Oh! Such a blessed child! Let me take a look! Go, let's come to your second wife together. Go there, I will tell you how to do it..."
Yan interrupted hurriedly, "Third aunt, let's go back to the yard and talk about it!"
The old lady smiled and said, "Go ahead, the second lady will do our best for us."
Mrs. Yan San also laughed: "You are so polite, she is so young, just go and laugh together."
Su Wanniang was carried out by Shen Qiang's thigh with difficulty, and she wanted to go with Shen Wen. When Mrs. Yan San saw Su Wanniang, she opened her eyes and said in surprise: "Oh! Such a beautiful girl, this is no better than the painting. Ah!" Looking at Shen Qiang again: "Oh! Such a strong child, he is six or seven years old!"
The old lady was pleased that she said: "I am only four years old."
Mrs. Yan San was shocked: "How could it be possible! You are kidding me!"
The old lady laughed: "Really!"
Mrs. Yan San waved her handkerchief: "Oh! You are so powerful at Jiangmen Huzi."
The Yang family was afraid of hearing this now, so he came over to pull Shen Qiang hard, and Shen Qiang yelled, but Yang still pulled him away. Su Wanniang saluted Mrs. Yan San.
The Yan family took Mrs. Yan San, Shen Wen and Su Wanniang to the Yan family's yard, along the way, Mrs. Yan San whispered: "Before I come, your father and mother asked me to tell you if I can help. Yes, you don't have to be polite, just tell me..."
Yan was smiling and listening, looking shy and obedient, but he entered his yard, and when the door was closed, Yan's tears came out and said to Mrs. Yan, "Third aunt, you are lucky to be here. Up!"
Mrs. Yan San waved her handkerchief exaggeratedly: "Oh! Don't you dare to cry! How ugly to cry a big swollen eye bubble! There will be wrinkles under the eyes in the future! We women can't look old..."
Yan stomped: "Don't talk about wrinkles, I can't live anymore!"
Mrs. Yan San glanced at Shen Wen, and Yan cried and said, "She knows me."
Mrs. Yan San lowered her voice and said, "Isn't it just my uncle who is going to the border gate? Oh! That young man is so handsome! I really didn't teach you for nothing! My two elm heads, how can you look like you? I asked them to see a few of them, and they didn't like the one I picked..."
Yan stomped again: "Three aunts!"
Mrs. Yan San hurriedly said, "Oh, oh! I mean, even if my uncle is gone, you should go with me too!"
Shen Wen was stupid, she now knows where Yan got the courage.
Yan cried: "I want to do it too, but he said that the past two years will not work. He has to wait until Sister-in-law is fourteen."
Mrs. Yan San wondered: "What does this have to do with your sister-in-law?"
Yan cried and raised his head: "Third aunt, you must help me! Otherwise I will die! Really, I will die!"
Mrs. Yan San was terrified: "Yeah! What nonsense are you talking about! As long as you are alive, everything can be done, how can you say that you are not dead! Tell me, how do you want me to help you"
