Daily life of noble ladies of the Three Kingdoms

After Si Qi discussed with Liu Yun, it was a certainty that the whole family would move to Yecheng.Zhen Shu, Tan Xin and others took the first step and went to Yecheng to help King Li and Lord Weng decorate the courtyard.

Anyway, going to Yecheng this time, Liu Yun, other Han clan relatives and several ministers went all the way, and Cao Cao sent troops to escort them, so there was no danger at all.

Along the way, I couldn't see Mr. Zhen's prosperous beauty, and the maidservants felt a little pity. A Fei even complained to Si Qi: "My lord, you have changed. You didn't treat Mr. Zhen like this in the past. of."

"What's so strange about this?" Si Qi said disapprovingly: "People are all the same, and they don't know how to cherish it when they get it. In this world, there are not only men who like the new and dislike the old, they can all? Why can't I?"

The first time she met Zhen Shu, she felt astonished as a man of heaven, and the second time she was still astonished, but it didn't mean that she would be astonished as a man of heaven every time she saw him in her life.

But having said that, it is true that when she sees young gentlemen who used to look good-looking, she thinks they are not so good-looking.

Even He Yan didn't look good, let alone others.

Besides, Zhen Mi is so beautiful, didn't Cao Pi empathize with Queen Guo in the end?It is also enough to show that even in the face of a real beauty, this is the truth.

Now there is no need to worry about Zhen Mi, but in the future it will be uncertain.

Zhen Mi's beauty-preserving technique and modeling technique are well-known in history, and there is also an allusion of "Spiritual Snake Bun".

If Zhen Mi's life is good in the future, that's fine. If it's not as good as in history, Si Qi thinks that when she has the ability in the future, she will also get the sister of Zhen's family to teach in Chengping, specializing in beauty electives Classes, so that all the girls under her control can be beautiful every day.

The house Cao Cao arranged for Liu Yun in Yecheng was similar in size to the garden, but the scenery was much worse.

But when Si Qi settled down and visited a few houses with the Zhang family, he realized that Cao Cao treated Liu Yun really well, and the houses of other Han family clans were far worse than his own.

During these days in Yecheng, Si Qi also had a lot of emotions.

Compared with other cities in the late Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms period, Yecheng was indeed well governed, with reasonable urban planning, complete infrastructure, prosperous commercial areas, stable residential areas, and people living and working in peace and contentment. No wonder it was so attractive to Cao Cao .

I have to say that there are talents everywhere in troubled times. Although Yuan Shao, who was born in the "Four Generations and Three Dukes", was defeated by Cao Cao, he is a very capable person. It is natural that he has been able to have so many heroes by his side for so many years. reason.

One day, when Si Qi accompanied his grandmother to Shan Tinghou's house, a porter came forward to report that he had seen a few soldiers on the street inquiring about Mr. I know that these people are the subordinates of Dong Sheng, the deputy general of Zhang Yan, the general of the Black Mountain Army.

Speaking of the Black Mountain Army, Si Qi thought of Liao Kun he met in Hebei before, and had a bad feeling in his heart.

Zhen Shu knew something about Dong Sheng, and he knew about Si Qidao, who had been active in the Hebei area before. He was an uprising team in Heishan, Jizhou, and he had fought against Yuan Xi before.

Si Qi frowned: "What kind of person is this Dong Sheng?"

Zhen Shu said: "I heard from Yuan Jiasanlang that when the war broke out, the Black Mountain Army invaded Guiyuan Township, and Dong's family was a well-known wealthy family in that area. In order to please the other party, Dong Sheng gave his sister to the leader of the army. After the general of the army joined the Black Mountain Army, he offered his elder sister to Zhang Yan, but was rejected by the other party."

Speaking of this, Zhen Shu paused for a moment, and then continued: "Later, Dong Sheng was very active in the Black Mountain Army, becoming bigger and bigger in the army, and later, he even let out the word... to marry a clan A woman is a wife."

When Zhen Shu said this, he looked at Si Qi worriedly, and felt relieved when he saw that Si Qi's mood didn't fluctuate much.

Si Qi thought for a while, and said: "Since he has already sent someone to inquire, I can't help but worry about it. You can find someone to check Dong Sheng for me, and give me some feedback as soon as possible."

Zhen Shu complied.

==

During the month of moving to Yecheng, two strange things happened in the city.

The first is that Xu You was killed by Cao Cao because he offended Cao Cao.

During the Battle of Guandu, Xu You jumped from Yuan Shao's camp to Cao Cao's camp, offered a plan to burn Yuan Shao's supplies in Wuchao, and helped Cao Cao win the battle of winning more with less.

After Liu Yun heard this, he felt a little displeased, and felt that he and Xu You had many similarities, which meant that something hurt their kind.

Si Qi felt that Liu Yun was thinking too much.

First, Liu Yun only helped Cao Cao deal with some clan affairs, and he still owes a lot to Xu You in terms of achievements; Cao Cao has more contacts; third, Xu You is smart, a little arrogant, and recently he especially does not regard himself as an outsider, and he has repeatedly made wild words, which will anger Cao Cao.

To sum up, an inconspicuous person like Liu Yun is not qualified enough for Cao Cao to target him, so let's hurry up and get some sleep.

The second event was the surrender of Zhang Yan, the leader of the Black Mountain Army.

In order to celebrate this event, Cao Cao held a large banquet on the second day after the army returned, and invited all the clan and family members and ministers who moved to Yecheng with him to attend the banquet.

Si Qi also received the invitation as usual, and went to the banquet with Liu Yun.

When Si Qi arrived at the banquet, there were relatively few people on the side of the women's family. Apart from Si Qi, there were two lords and three concubines, one eldest princess and one elder princess.Cao Cao is a real boss, and he will appear at the banquet last as usual.

After Si Qi sat for about two quarters of an hour, the banquet officially began.

After drinking for three rounds, Cao Cao got up to add clothes, and the generals of the Montenegrin Army at the banquet broke the rules just now, and commented on today's banquet more and more unscrupulously, and the words also involved the clan women who were present today.

Not long after Cao Cao himself left, Dong Sheng stood up drunk, and said loudly to everyone at the table: "When I was marching around Jizhou, I always heard the name of Weng Lord Chengping, and now I heard that Lord Weng also followed Sikong to the north. Yecheng, today is at the banquet. Dong is not talented, but also has a heart for beauty, and intends to marry Mrs. Weng as his wife, but I don’t know what Mrs. Weng will do."

Liu Yun said angrily, "This matter is definitely not going to happen."

However, Dong Sheng didn't take Liu Yun seriously, and asked Mr. Weng to answer.

Angrily, Liu Yun cast his eyes on Zhang Yan, signaling to take care of his subordinates, stop such absurd behavior immediately, and don't make such a farce on this happy day.

But Zhang Yan lowered her head, as if she didn't want to embarrass Dong Sheng on this occasion and lose face to the Black Mountain Army.

Guo Jia and Xun Yuyao looked at each other, and they could see the other's worry in each other's eyes.

If the ranking is based on kinship, the master is always in front of the uncle. Just when Guo Jia was about to stand up to speak, a loud voice suddenly sounded from the banquet: "I also think this is not possible."

And the person who said this was Ma Chao, the young master of Xiliang.

Dong Sheng didn't know Ma Chao, so he just asked him back: "You're not Lord Chengping himself, how do you know that this matter won't work?"

When Ma Chao was about to speak, Si Qi stood up and said loudly to Dong Sheng: "I never remember seeing the general before, and when did the general recognize me?"

Dong Sheng didn't play cards according to common sense, impromptu impromptu farce, disregarding his father Liu Yun's opinion, and came straight to him, which made Si Qi feel more pressured.

As far as today's situation is concerned, although the offended Si Qi is a girl from the clan, but the other party is also a general who has just led his army back to surrender, and everyone present must give him some face.

Because of this unexpected situation at the table, Si Qi saw Cao Cao's attendants quickly leave, and went to Cao Cao to come back to deal with it.

But Si Qi also knew that what happened today was a difficult matter even for Cao Cao.

One is the daughter of the emperor's uncle's family. Behind him are the clan and former ministers of the Han Dynasty. On the other side is the favorite general of Zhang Yan, the commander of the newly surrendered Black Mountain Army. Cao Cao's attitude towards him today will undoubtedly affect the direction of other troops' surrender later.

At this time, it is not good to ask anyone to come forward, the best way is to save yourself, let Zhang Yan speak up, suppress the arrogance of the lieutenant general, and pinch Dong Sheng's unrealistic ideas from the source.

Thinking of this time, Si Qi already had an idea.

After seeing Si Qi clearly, Dong Sheng couldn't help being stunned for a moment.

In the past, he only heard that Mrs. Cheng Ping was intelligent, quick-witted, and talented, but he never imagined that he was just a twelve or thirteen-year-old doll.

But it doesn't matter even if it's a female doll, it will grow up after two years of raising it, and it will be able to pass through the family in two or three years. The child born in the future will also have the noble blood of the Han royal family, and it is not in vain for him today. There was a commotion at the table.

Thinking of this, the smile on Dong Sheng's face became wider: "Although we didn't know each other before, we will know each other after we meet today."

Si Qi didn't follow his words, but said to himself: "Since the general didn't know me before, he probably doesn't know me well enough."

Now Zhang Yan led tens of thousands of soldiers to Cao Cao to help him pacify Hebei and other places and complete the unification of Jiangbei. This is also the time when they are most embarrassed in front of Cao Cao.

Dong Sheng is Zhang Yan's number one confidant, and he knows that as long as he can work harder and force this girl to let go of him at the banquet, even Liu Yun and Cao Cao can't stop him from asking to marry the old man. pace of.

Zhang Yan will decide for herself.

Therefore, facing Si Qi, who was only 12 years old, Dong Sheng dealt with her slowly with [-]% patience. He asked Si Qi, "Is there anything I don't understand, and I can't wait until later to understand it?"

Si Qi said: "I grew up reading sage books. The marriage was ordered by my parents and the matchmaker. Just now my father spoke out against this marriage, but you didn't even look at my father. But today Here, not only my father, but also my mentor and my uncle, you crossed these people, but came to me alone, how can you be a gentleman?"

Everyone present here knows how noble Lord Chengping's background is. His mother Xun Yue came from the Xun family in Yingchuan, and his mentor Guo Jia was one of Cao Cao's most effective advisors.

As soon as Si Qi said this, no matter whether he had a good relationship with Li Wang's family in the past or a family with a mediocre relationship, the balance has tilted towards Si Qi at this time.

Dong Sheng is a rough man, he used to go up mountains and seas with the Black Mountain Army, and did a lot of work similar to bandits, so he naturally didn't understand the meaning of Si Qi's words.

He laughed loudly, and said to Si Qi: "Those who achieve great things don't care about small things, why should the Lord stick to these vain rituals?"

Si Qi nodded and said: "Then let me ask General Dong, where is the ancestor? How much land and how many people did the family have? There are only two elder brothers in my family and no sisters. I wonder if there are any sisters in the general's family?"

Zhen Shu still didn't talk much that day, but after inquiring later, he found out that Dong Sheng was pretty good-looking, and his sisters were all young and beautiful. At the beginning, he tasted the sweetness of sending his sister to Shangfeng, and it became more and more difficult to take shortcuts. Since then, the sisters in the family and even the cousins, cousins, etc. have been sent by him all over the place.

Dong Sheng also knew that the members of these aristocratic families here despise these things the most, so he got stuck for a while when Si Qi asked, and he didn't know how to answer.

This was obviously the simplest question, but Dong Sheng stopped him from asking it.

Such a simple question, but the other party doesn't speak, everyone knows that there must be tricks in it.

Dong Sheng is very famous in the Montenegro Army. Knowing that he was the one who sent his sisters to climb up step by step, soon someone who knew the truth whispered science to the people around him, and everyone changed from watching the excitement to being deeply fond of Dong Sheng disdain.

Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Si Qi stopped being obsessed with this question, and then asked Dong Sheng: "I heard that General Dong is also a well-known family in the village. How many years did you study? ?”

According to Zhen Shu's investigation, Dong Sheng was born as a landlord, and his father was a well-known local gentry, but he hadn't studied for a few days.It's not because his family is poor that he can't afford to study, but because he doesn't like reading by nature.

Dong Sheng snorted coldly, and said: "There are only two private schools in our village, and there are no such famous scholars. I don't like to be restrained by nature, and I only study martial arts with teachers since I was a child. How can I have the heart to study those books?"

Si Qi said "Oh": "No wonder I heard that the general used to ask others to write letters for him in the army, but he never thought that the general had never studied. The general never went to a private school but could To achieve today's position, he is indeed very talented and talented, which is admirable."

Although everyone doesn't look like Dong Sheng has ever studied, but looking like it and admitting it are two different things.

Although among those illiterate people there are people with extraordinary abilities, it is really inappropriate to be matched with a patriarch who has been familiar with sage books since childhood and studied under Guo Jia.

After the discussion between the two, more people chose to side with Siqi.

Si Qi smiled slightly, and said again: "There is a lot of talk about the general in the city. I also heard a few words and learned that you have a son and a daughter born to your wife. Since you are married, why do you still ask to marry me? This matter Is it too unruly?"

Dong Sheng lost the arrogance he had just now, and his voice subconsciously lowered: "I divorced Mrs. Zhao a few years ago, don't mention this matter again."

Mrs. Zhao is the child bride-in-law chosen by his mother for him, and she gave birth to a bunch of children for him in the early years.Later, when he gained power, he disliked the vulgarity of the Zhao family, and divorced the Zhao family in order to marry a noble daughter.Even though Mrs. Zhao was seriously ill at that time, the three of them were kicked out.

After going through this incident, the son and daughter born to his former wife no longer recognize him, and even the brothers who follow him think he is cold.

A soft knife cuts people, the most invisible.

After the question and answer with Mr. Cheng Ping, Dong felt as if he had been stripped naked and placed in the sun, being surrounded by people, with burning sensations on his face.

All of a sudden, the surroundings were full of whispers aimed at him, all cursing him for being overwhelmed.

Cao Zhang, who had been pinching sweat for Si Qi just now, sat up straight.

Ah Ying is really powerful, she really deserves to be Mr. Guo's disciple.

I remember that when Mr. Guo was arguing with people in the past, he could corner people with a few words, and he couldn't refute them with a word.

Today's situation is just like the scene of that day reappearing, but at this time, it is Mr. Guo's female disciple A Ying who has the upper hand.

Cao Zhi raised his head and smiled brightly at Si Qi.

Although Ah Ying lacked a bit of talent for reciting poems and composing prose, in some respects she was a star that no one else could catch up to. She was worthy of being Xun Yu's niece.

Zhen Shu silently breathed a sigh of relief.

He found that he didn't know the king well enough.It turned out that she was such an aggressive beauty, completely different from those delicate girls who would only cry when encountering these things.It's just that her personality is relatively peaceful, and she doesn't easily target anyone on weekdays, but when she makes a move, it is also a stormy sea.

Zhou Buyi nodded and smiled, and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.

It really deserves to be the master Chengping who is excellent in both martial arts and martial arts in the uncle's mouth, and it really seems like something she can do.

Seeing that Dong Sheng's arrogance had been suppressed by himself, Si Qi also knew that it was almost time for fire, and it would be useless to say too much, so he quickly concluded: "I heard that the generals have been active in Jizhou and Bingzhou in the past, and my fief is also in the area. Bingzhou, the general hopes that after he proposes to me, he will also take care of my fief?"

Since Dong Sheng followed Zhang Yan to surrender to Cao Cao, the most ideal way to end today's farce is to let Zhang Yan take action and personally deny Dong Sheng.

What Si Qi said before was just foreshadowing, not only to vent her anger, but also to let everyone know that even though the Han Dynasty is now in decline and the women of the Han Dynasty are having a difficult life, don't take her ideas casually.

If anyone messes with his mind, she still has the ability to keep him from stepping down.

And that last sentence is the crux of the matter.

Zhang Yan came to surrender to Cao Cao today, and his people and land have now been entrusted to Cao Cao.

But if Dong Sheng was allowed to get his own fief and develop in the Bingzhou area, not only Cao Cao would not allow it, but even Zhang Yan would be afraid.

Sure enough, as soon as Si Qi said this, everyone present at the banquet changed their expressions.

Just now Zhang Yan, who had been playing with the amber gold cup and watching from the sidelines, also put down the wine glass in his hand at this time.
