Daily life of noble ladies of the Three Kingdoms

Zhen Shu was not as excited as Si Qi imagined, but Zhen Mi was obviously comforted, and her mood was much better than when Si Qi saw her last time.

Zhen Mi wants to salute and thank Si Qi, but Si Qi stops her.

Si Qi also knew that Zhen Mi had completely cut off contact with the Yuan family now, and she had nothing else to worry about. Only when Zhen Shu was done, could she feel at ease.

But Zhen Shu obviously didn't intend to work for the Cao family, and with Zhen Mi's current status, he couldn't arrange any good place for him.

Thinking of this, Si Qi thoughtfully said: "Sister, what wish do you have? The young master is not as good as Yecheng now, and he needs a new job if he wants to come. What does my sister think is more suitable for the young master? I You can ask Father to help arrange it."

Zhen Mi said: "I have already received your great kindness, so I can't ask Zhen Shu to trouble you anymore."

Si Qi said, after all, my father and Master Zhen were also good friends in the past, if I didn't ask, my father might say that I am ignorant.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was no concept of imperial examination, and the arrangement of official positions was mostly based on the examination system and recommendation system, also known as "examination of filial piety and honesty".

Zhen Shu is Liu Yun's old son, Liu Yun is also very concerned about him, even if she doesn't have to speak, I believe Liu Yun will give the old man's son a way out.

She said this to Zhen Mi in advance to give her a reassurance, so that her life is already bad enough, and she has some hope, don't be too self-sufficient.

Only then did Zhen Mi say: "My heart is the same as that of my mother, I hope that he can follow the text, but Asu has his own ideas... To get King Li to hang down the curtain, arrange for him to be a soldier in the army, to be able to mix It is enough to have a mouthful of food.”

Si Qi nodded in response.

After Si Qi returned home, the first thing he did was to go to his old father Liu Yun to discuss the matter with him.

Liu Yun was working in the sugarcane field, Si Qi tied her skirt around her waist, and walked over to help Liu Yun water the water.

But Liu Yun directly took the kettle from her hand: "How can you do these things? Don't come here to make trouble for Father. If you have anything to do, you might as well just talk about it."

Facing his biological father, Si Qi didn't think about how to beat around the bush, and he said bluntly when he heard Liu Yun's questioning: "Today I took Zhen Shu to see the sister of Zhen's family, and we talked a lot along the way back, so I got It is known that he has been practicing martial arts since he was three years old, and he has also studied with several great Confucian scholars. Whether it is books on sages, history, poetry or military, he has read a lot. He is a rare talent. "

Liu Yun nodded with a smile: "So?"

Si Qi said: "Sister Zhen's life is going through a difficult time, and she can't take care of her younger brother. I thought that the late Master Zhen had friendship with you, and you would never ignore Young Master Zhen, so I will do more I asked the sister of the Zhen family. Their siblings discussed and arranged for Mr. Zhen to be an ordinary soldier in the army, but if he was only a soldier by His Majesty's side, wouldn't it be a pity to rely on Mr. Zhen's talent and character? There is a shortage of talented people in the current dynasty, and it is even rarer to be as loyal to the Han family as he is, so it should not be difficult for my father to ask His Majesty to arrange a decent military position for him."

Liu Yun thought for a while, and said, "Aying's words are not unreasonable. I also talked to Chu Bai when I was in the camp before, and he said that their young master's skills are not bad, especially after they came to Yecheng, they were also affected by it." He was instructed by many famous masters, and he was fine after so many battles with Yuan Xi. The battlefield was really dangerous that day. He fell in an ambush and was cut from behind. This child is not bad, why not... just stay by your side?"

Si Qi raised his eyes: "Father, what do you mean by that?"

Liu Yun said: "Isn't there a lack of a captain of the guard with a rank of more than [-] shi? Until you left Chengping, Chen Xing still hadn't been selected. Why don't you give me face and let him go."

The head of the guard has to guard himself at all times, similar to the relationship between the princess and the guard in the costume dramas I saw before.

The head of the guard with a rank ratio of [-] shi was the head of the guard next to Si Qi. It was not a difficult position to choose, but because it was a personal protection, it was inevitable that they were a bit harsh in the selection.

Liu Yun could not accept that the head of the guard who accompanied his daughter everyday was an uneducated person, not from a noble family; Credibility; Chang Shi asked this person to be loyal to the Han Dynasty and Chengping, so as to ensure the absolute safety of the king.

Si Qi's requirements are relatively simple, and she cannot accept a married man as her chief guard. After all, this position is too close to her, and it is inconvenient to get along with a married man day and night. Si Qi does not want to cause unnecessary troubles because of these things.

Cheng Ping originally had limited talents, and after a few people raised these requirements, they basically restricted this position to death.

So until Siqi left Chengping, no suitable candidate had been found.

Liu Yun proposed that Zhen Shu be the head of the guard next to Siqi, not only because he met all the requirements mentioned above, but also for some reasons that it was not easy to get it out in the open.

Liu Yuneng has reached the position he is today in the troubled times. When he interacts with so many bigwigs, he can be at peace with each other, and he can stand firm in the torrent of the times. Naturally, he has two brushes.

In the past, Empress Dowager Dong and Liu Hong's mother and son didn't want to see him like that. He has learned to observe the situation and the situation since he was a child, and he is the best at grasping the situation.

The current situation is that Cao Pi likes Zhen Mi to the core of his heart.

Zhen Shu is Zhen Mi's youngest brother, and Cao Pi and his original wife are already at loggerheads.

Cao Pi has no son yet, and Cao Cao values ​​​​Cao Pi, and has always wanted him to inherit his foundation...

To sum up, this Mrs. Zhen has a bright future, and so does Young Master Zhen and the Zhen family.

Seeing that Si Qi hadn't made a statement, Liu Yun couldn't help asking Si Qi earnestly: "What do you think, Ah Ying?"

Si Qi was lost in thought.

Now that Chen Xing has money and food in his hand, and he got the instruction from Lord Weng to select soldiers to study, he built a military academy far away from the official academy.

200 years ago was the heyday of the Zhen family. The ancestor of the Zhen family, Zhen Han, was granted the title of Marquis of Chengyang during the reign of Emperor Ping of the Han Dynasty. All held important positions in the court.

During that time, the Zhen family rose rapidly, completed primitive accumulation and left a large collection of heirlooms.

From the chat with Zhen Shu, we can know that although the Zhen family is now in decline, the foundation is still there. His family has a large collection of books, and he has read a lot of military books since he was a child. He has also read a lot of books during the years in the Yuan family. He is quite familiar with the experience and lessons of the Yuan family's several battles, so he can be regarded as a military talent with both theoretical knowledge and practical experience.

In fact, rather than letting Zhen Shu become his head of guards, Si Qi hopes that he can become a lecturer in the military academy of his fiefdom official school, dismantling the knowledge in the art of war books one by one to those soldiers who had no chance to study before. .

This can not only realize Zhen Shu's personal value, but also relieve Chen Xing's pressure on talent recruitment.

After all, Zhen Shu was the one she saved, and it is not a problem to live in Hua Tuo's house all the time now. Thinking of this, Si Qi agreed to Liu Yun for the time being, and gave him the position of chief guard first, and then arranged others in the future. The task of Hua Tuo is just like Hua Tuo's medical order in Chengping County and can also be a part-time teacher, there is no conflict between the two sides.

Thinking of this, Si Qi agreed to Liu Yun's proposal: "Tomorrow, someone will prepare a letter of appointment. After I use the seal, let him take office."

Si Qi quickly sent the printed appointment documents to Zhen Shu.

Looking at the document, Zhen Shu felt an unknown feeling in his heart.

Thinking of what happened in these days, I have to sigh, the things between him and Weng Lord Chengping are full of twists and turns, which can be regarded as a rare fate.

Siqi is the orthodox of the Han Dynasty, and doing things for her is to support the revival of the Han Dynasty, and it can be regarded as the realization of her childhood wish.

She saved herself, and arranged for herself the military position she wanted. At the beginning, she said that she would repay her for saving her life. It was not a lie to do anything for her. As long as she didn't abandon him, he was willing to keep his promise. Promise, to be loyal to her for the rest of my life, and to do my best to guard her.

Early in the morning of the second day after receiving the document, Zhen Shu brought Chu Bai to Siqi to report.

After this period of recuperation, Zhen Shu has basically recovered, his complexion is much better than when he was sick, and Si Qi seems to be more eye-catching.

Zhen Shu used to call her "Wangzhu", but now he also calls her "Wangzhu".

Si Qi had just made tea here, so he invited them to sit down and have tea.

Compared with Zhen Shu's calmness, Chu Bai seemed more lively, and he was full of enthusiasm towards Si Qi: "I never thought that you would still think about me, my lord."

Si Qi heard from Hua Tuo before that Chu Bai was also a descendant of an aristocratic family. Later, his family fell into decline and he was sent to the distant relative Zhen’s family. He grew up with Zhen Shu as a playmate. talent.

Si Qi then gave him the position of Zhen Shu's lieutenant general, and it would be shameful for the head of the guard to be a polished commander.Chu Bai is also only 16 years old. Both of them are still young, and they still have a lot of room for shaping. They fought several battles with Yuan Xi in the past. They have both foundation and practical experience. They will find a famous teacher in the future Do some pointers, presumably can be alone in the army.

It's just that she didn't expect that she was still a little girl, and she also got the script for nurturing.

Thinking of this, Si Qi's mood lightened inexplicably: "Let's go, I'll take you to the residence to have a look. If you need anything in the future, just ask someone to tell me."

Si Qi took the two of them out, and ran into Zhang Shi who had used Chaoshi to go out for a walk.

No matter what age a woman is, she will always have no resistance to a handsome young man.

Zhang is no exception.

After watching Zhen Shu for about a minute, she turned to Si Qi and asked, "Whose son is this?"

Si Qi said: "It's the head of the guard that my father picked for me."

Zhang nodded.

She never imagined that there is such a good-looking young gentleman in the world, and she just felt her heart melt when she looked at him more.

In the past, Mrs. Zhang only thought that her son was good-looking, but now after seeing Zhen Shu, her thoughts changed suddenly, and she felt that her son could only be called "good-looking".

Speaking of which, her granddaughter is really amazing, she has such an outstanding head of guard at such a young age.

Since the old lady has become more determined to follow her granddaughter, as for the incompetent son who only farms the land and has no fiefdom, he can't count on it, so he should do what he should do.

Liu Heng's marriage has been going smoothly, and the day was chosen in the pleasant weather in late summer and early autumn.

Liu Yun's popularity in Xu Capital City has always been good, this time Liu Heng's wedding, there are quite a few clan members and ministers who came to support him.

It is worth mentioning that many people from the Cao family and Liu Heng's generation came here, and the first person Siqi met was He Yan, Cao Cao's adopted son.

For the sake of good things coming in pairs, Cao Cao sent out the two girls in his family in one go, and betrothed He Yan and Xun Yun.

Now these two are the future son-in-law of the ironclad, and Si Qi can't see He Yan's slick peach blossom eyes looking at him, combined with He Yan's romantic affairs in history, he suddenly felt a chill on his back, and said hello hastily After that, she turned her head and distanced herself from him.

After all, she cherishes her life and wants to live in peace and stability for two more years.

After walking for about a quarter of an hour, Si Qi met his acquaintance Cao Chong again.

Si Qi didn't have much contact with Cao Chong, but looking at him today, he seems to be much thinner than before.

I don't know if it's because she has a good relationship with Cao Zhang and Cao Zhi, Cao Chong always treats her a little lightly.

It was a young son who was by Cao Chong's side today.

Now that the two have met, and they are both acquaintances, it is necessary to make an introduction.

Cao Chong first said to Zhou Buyi: "This is the Lord Chengping that my father often mentioned at home." Then he said to Siqi: "This is Zhou Buyi, the character is straight, it is Liu Biao, the shepherd of Jingzhou. nephew."

After the ceremony between the two, Zhou Buyi said, "I've heard of the Lord's name for a long time, but I just haven't had the chance to meet him."

Si Qi raised his eyes: "You recognize me?"

"Yes." Zhou Buyi said, "Zhou Ke is my uncle, and he highly respects Weng Lord. He always said that Weng Lord is unparalleled in intelligence and wisdom."

Si Qi smiled a little embarrassedly.

Zhou Buji was one of the most famous "child prodigies" in the late Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms period. Hearing him say this, Si Qi always felt somewhat ashamed.

After all, Zhou Buyi is the original one, but he is the one who opened it up, so the comparison cannot be done like this.

But she really didn't expect that Zhou Ke and Zhou Buyi had such a close relationship. Sure enough, this family has intelligence in their genes.

Cao Chong still had a meeting ahead, so he left first. Zhou Buyi and Si Qi walked side by side on the road, chatting about the construction of the royal city, and even expressed his yearning, saying that he had always wanted to visit her place .

Zhou Buyi is indeed a rare talent in this era, Si Qi immediately seized the opportunity: "Next time?"

Zhou Buyi was stunned for a moment: "What?"

Si Qi said: "The next time I go to Cheng Ping, I will find someone to inform you."

Zhou Buyi is a well-known child prodigy, rarely known for his talents, and has always been friends with Cao Chong. Cao Cao is also happy to look at Zhou Buyi.

It's just that Cao Chong's health has never been good. Although Cao Cao favored him, his body was weak after all, and he died of illness early before reaching adulthood.

Among Cao Cao's many heirs, Zhou Buyi only had good friends with Cao Chong. Cao Cao was afraid that Zhou Buyi was too smart and difficult to control. In order to prevent Cao Pi, who was in power, from being able to control him in the future, he sent someone to get rid of Zhou Buyi as soon as possible. In Cao Chong's face, he was left with a whole body.

It's a pity that such a smart person was killed because of jealousy. If possible, Si Qi is willing to provide Zhou Buyi with a chance to take refuge in the future.

If he is willing to stay and stay in Chengping with his uncle Zhou Ke to carry out construction, it is even more her wish.
