Whoever wins the crouching dragon wins the world

When the winter jasmine blossoms, Ah Xiang told me that a distinguished guest came to the wine shop to look for me.

"Who is it?" I was surprised.Although I have been in Nanyang for a long time, because I am not sociable, I don't know many people, and there are very few dignitaries.

Axiang tilted her head and tried to describe: "He didn't give his last name, he just said he was an old friend, and he brought two young servants, and he was very well dressed." After thinking about it, he guessed, "He is wearing summer clothes and looks very cool, could it be Just from the South?"

But I have no old friends from the south.

After washing the wine lees from his hands, he came out to meet him, and saw a short and fat man leaning leisurely on the locust tree, his shape was like cartilaginous insects, and the two servants behind him were unusually tall and straight, who easily caught him The foil became scum.

"Hey, Nanshuang, stay safe and sound!" Shi Guangyuan pushed the folding fan away with a "swish", and he hasn't seen him for several months. He still looks like a bastard full of funny things, as annoying as ever.

I was stunned, and managed to calm the twitching veins on my forehead, and stepped forward to salute.

"Your wine shop is really good, business is booming!" He touched the table and tapped the chair very familiarly, without treating himself as an outsider at all, "You can earn a month? The salary must be very generous, right?"

...it's none of your business!

I can't figure out what he's doing in the liquor store, but I have a strong feeling it won't be a good thing.Kong Ming once said that talking to Shi Guangyuan should not be too obtrusive, otherwise he will be selectively deaf. Referring to his consistent conduct, I deeply agree: "What are you doing here today?" The robe was put on, and the color was particularly eye-catching, challenging my fragile nerves all the time.

There are no men in the Three Kingdoms who wear green, and it's not the 21st century with diverse aesthetics!

Shi Guangyuan didn't care, and excitedly spun back and forth, showing off his beautiful new clothes happily: "This is just made by my embroiderer, and it's the only one in the world. What do you think, but it's very beautiful?"

Is he crazy?I glanced at his head sympathetically, tried my best not to make trouble with a patient, and said against my will: "It's okay, compare, especially...hehe, as long as you are happy."

Shi Guangyuan was dissatisfied, so he broke the casserole and asked: "Is it really good-looking or not?"

"Uh." I choked, "No..." Shi Guangyuan lowered his head, like a punctured balloon, pitifully, "...it looks good."

"Really? Do you really think it looks good?" The second-rate youth revived with full blood.

I was speechless, so I just tried to coax the husky: "It looks good, it looks good."

"Yeah!" Shi Guangyuan cheered, jumped and hugged one of the young servants' necks, shaking desperately, "Did you hear that? Nanshuang said that the clothes are beautiful, so hurry up and help me take them off! xx! Too It’s shameful, young master, I’ve never been so shamed when I grow up, I’ve thrown it all at my grandma’s house! Yes, I’ve wandered around the streets so much, my grandma and her elders must already know about it!”

what happened?The painting style changed too fast and I couldn't get used to it. I saw Shi Guangyuan rushing into the ear room at an incredible speed, and drove out the shopkeeper who was cooking wine in a moment.

Meeting my puzzled gaze, the shopkeeper shrugged his shoulders in a good-tempered manner, and Monk Erzhang was also puzzled: "Mr. Shi said that he wants to borrow a room to change clothes."

This is a majestic occupation of residential buildings!I looked at each other with the shopkeeper.

"You two are strange." Shi Guangyuan's servant sighed, resigned to help the master clean up the mess, and answered our questions, "My husband offended Mr. Zhuge, and Mr. Zhuge asked him to parade in green clothes. He needs Nanshuang You can only take it off with a compliment from Miss." That's why the unimaginable scene happened just now.

I said speechlessly, "How did Mr. Guangyuan offend Mr. Zhuge?"

"I don't know, sir didn't mention it." Family ugliness should not be publicized. The servant has served his foolish master for several years, and he has long learned to cover up for Shi Guangyuan, keeping his mouth shut with professional ethics.However, Xiao Xiao gave a hint that would not damage his loyalty: "Xiao Xiao guessed that this matter was probably related to serving tea. When my husband and I came out of the thatched hut, we saw Feng Cha being punished standing in a corner with a crown on his head. The boss has a fish tank, it's horrible."

Corporal punishment is legal in the Three Kingdoms, and a candle is offered for serving tea.

Shi Guangyuan's visit was too high-profile, and many drinkers were attracted by his green clothes. They were as excited as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, and they wished to rush into the ear room to get first-hand information so that they could go back and tell their relatives and friends. ——As long as Shi Guangyuan can be the protagonist, it is a major event that challenges the ability of normal people to accept it. Anyone who has stayed in Nanyang for a while will know this.

Shi Guangyuan, who has returned to normal in terms of his attire, is completely unaware of his influence. When he walked out of the ear room and saw dozens of pairs of piercing and bright eyes, he was quite puzzled: "What's the matter? Could it be that my face is stained with blood? Is something dirty?"

The onlookers burst into laughter, and the atmosphere in the wine shop suddenly became lively.

Some drinkers, who feared that the world would not be chaotic, shouted at the top of their voices: "Mr. Shi, why did you take off your green clothes? What a pity to take off such chic clothes!"

Shi Guangyuan was not annoyed, and bowed to the audience without embarrassment, like a movie star walking on the red carpet in later generations.

"Mr. Shi is thick-skinned..." Ah Xiang was amazed.

Shi Guangyuan is not ashamed but proud: "The matter has come to this point, but cowardice cannot avoid tongues, and it is easy to fall into the ground for daring to do what you dare not to do. It is not as good as being generous and letting others judge, and it will become a romantic story."

Although he lacks in IQ, he has a very good appearance. He puts on brocade clothes and fine jade pendants.

Sure enough, someone was deceived by his appearance, and they praised him loudly: "Don't worry about fame, you can be unruly and at ease, Mr. Guangyuan is also a real celebrity!"

Mr. Guangyuan was triumphant, I suppressed the rolling of my eyes from the bottom of my heart*, and drove people away mercilessly: "Earlier I heard that you were grounded, did you sneak out today? Now there is such a big joke Hurry up and go home, or your wife will come here!" Shi Guangyuan has already reached the weak crown, and the elders in the family are busy making love to him.Ordinarily, with the Shi family's family background, it is also possible to match the county guard's wife.Mrs. Shi was very angry at first, comparing her family background to helping her son choose a daughter from a prosperous family, who would have thought that this guy's reputation for absurdity was so great that the woman refused to live or die, and almost made Mrs. Shi sick from anger.After this incident, Mrs. Shi forced her son to follow the rules at home, and at the same time made persistent efforts and searched everywhere.It is said that recently, he has taken a fancy to a prominent family and is in the critical period of inquiry, so Shi Guangyuan's discipline is extremely strict, and he is not allowed to step out of the gate with repeated orders.

Shi Guangyuan had a headache and said: "My wife's eyesight is not good. Those girls who are talking about are either pock-marked, snub-nosed or buck-toothed and dark-skinned. What's the use of having a good family background? Wife is not Kong Ming, so she has to point to her husband's family to support her! Hey, No, that's not what I meant..." He spoke too quickly, and only realized something was wrong when he spoke, almost biting off his tongue, with deep regret.

However, even if you are 12 annoyed, the words you say are like water that is poured out, and it is difficult to cover the water.

I lowered my eyes and asked him seriously: "What did you mean, sir? Kong Ming pointed at the father-in-law's support?"

"Oh, yes and no! I'm wrong, don't take it seriously!" Shi Guangyuan kept complaining, bowing repeatedly in an attempt to get away with it, but I didn't accept his tricks.Others may say this out of jealousy and insult to Kong Ming, so I can laugh it off.But Shi Guangyuan is Kong Ming's younger brother and best friend, he also has this idea, there must be a reason.

Shi Guangyuan almost wanted to bump his head to death: "You girl, how can you be so serious... If Kong Ming finds out, I... I will die for my confidant. Say, if you say it, I'm afraid Kong Ming will silence you..."

He babbled for a long time, I exhausted my patience, and directly pinched his weakness: "The girl Yihong from Cuihua Courtyard has admired Mr. for a long time, and at this point, I don't mind talking to Mrs. Shi about her affair with Mr. Shi. "

Shi Guangyuan was dumbfounded, with an expression of disbelief: "You, how do you know Yihong girl!"

... As for his little shit, it has long been spread in the Nanyang market, and only the noble ladies who locked themselves in the courtyard all day long were kept in the dark.

Shi Guangyuan gritted his teeth and confessed, "Forget it, my mother is very skilled, Yihong girl is slender and weak, you must not cut off her life! I, I can tell you the reason, but you forget it after hearing it." Forget it, don't let Kong Ming know that these words came from me, or I'm afraid..."

"Stop talking nonsense!"

"Okay!" Shi Guangyuan wiped the sweat from his forehead, and looked at me with a guilty conscience, "Didn't Kong Ming and Ms. Huang have similar temperaments before, and it stands to reason that the two met Yu Cardamom, and they should have been engaged long ago—don't look at me like that , you hadn’t come to Nanyang at that time—the reason why they delayed their marriage was because Kong Ming refused to let go.”

"Why?" He confused me. "The Huang family is a prominent family in Jingxiang. Mr. Huang Chengyan is well-educated and has many friends. If Mr. Kong Ming wants to find a capable Yue family, there is no one more suitable than him."

"Stupid!" Shi Guangyuan is a good teacher. Seeing that I was puzzled, he thought he had found a sense of superiority in IQ, and explained, "You don't even know which is Miss Huang's mother's family? Mrs. Cai! Mr. Cai sent Miss Huang back then. Liu Biao’s aunt married Liu Biao as his step-wife, so she tied the whole family’s honor and disgrace to Liu Biao. After Liu Biao’s second son Liu Cong married his cousin Cai, the Liu and Cai families became closer. When Liu Biao prospered, the Cai family prospered. When Liu Biao died, the Cai family died .”

I understood: "You mean, Mr. Kong Ming doesn't like Liu Biao?"

"Of course! Kong Ming's background is not obvious, and there are not many people he can rely on. Marriage has been like a springboard since ancient times, but it is also like a double-edged sword. It is very easy to hurt others and yourself." Shi Guangyuan put on a "children can teach" pose, taught me, "Guo Xiaofeng said: 'Biao, sit and talk with guest ears', which can be described as appropriate. Liu Biao is suspicious and unresolved. The eldest son Liu Qi and the second son Liu Cong are involved in a dispute over the heirs. The Cai family must stand out because of their kinship. Help the second son to ascend to the throne, but Liu Cong is cowardly, with little talent and little virtue, so he is not a clear master. If you think about it carefully, if Liu Cong loses in the future when heroes compete, no matter who wins in the end, the Cai family will be jealous of the new master. At that time, Kong Ming’s situation will inevitably be difficult. The position of the two masters is awkward, and Kong Ming hopes to get help from the marriage, but does not want to be dragged down by it, so he has not been able to make up his mind.”

"However, marrying Miss Huang's family does not mean that he must be loyal to Liu Biao." In real history, he married Huang Yueying, but voted for Liu Bei.

"Besides Liu Biao, who else can he rely on?" Shi Guangyuan looked at me like an idiot, "Kong Ming's elder brother is an official in Soochow, but Jiangdong already has a deep-rooted Zhou Yu, and one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers. Cao Cao's soldiers There are so many generals, so many talented people, and the number of wise generals is unknown. It is not easy to stand out. Others such as Zhang Lu and Liu Zhang are in a corner, and they only care about success, so it is difficult to make achievements."

Kong Ming has great ambitions, and it is impossible for him to remain in office for a lifetime.But looking at the world, I am afraid that there is only one Liu Bei who can trust him wholeheartedly, and put all his wealth on his strategy when he is not well-known.

And now, Liu Bei is dead.

Shi Guangyuan concluded: "Once Kong Ming marries Miss Huang, it is imperative for him to become an official in Jingzhou."

It dawned on me.Historically, when Liu Bei asked Kong Ming to help him out of the mountain, he sent it to Liu Biao, so strictly speaking, he still voted for Liu Biao at that time—it was Liu Biao who gave Liu Bei the territory and let him live in Xinye, so that he could complete the original accumulation before his fortune. .

It can be seen from this that the relationship between Kong Ming and Liu Bei's monarchs and ministers is the result of the harmony between the right time and place.Because Liu Bei is attached to Liu Biao, the in-law relationship between Kong Ming and the Cai family is a help rather than a hindrance to him.After Liu Biao died of illness, Liu Bei had no doubts and relied more on Kong Ming's talents-aside from Kong Ming's personal ability, this was also Kong Ming's opportunity.If the protagonist is changed, I am afraid that he may not be able to gain the trust of the superior.

Time and life.

Now, Kong Ming rejected the marriage with Huang Yueying, did he make up his mind to make a clean break with the Cai family?Although Liu Cong is weak, Kong Ming's choice is not unreasonable, but with the relationship between him and Huang Yueying for more than ten years, such a choice is chilling.Huang Yueying exhausted her youth for him, but in the end she waited for a merciless rejection.

For no reason, I had a feeling of cold lips and teeth, as if I had some terrible emergency, and the blood in my whole body was frozen.I'm afraid I never really saw him clearly.

I was too naive, how could the loyal Marquis Wu, who has power in the government and the public and is famous in history, be a little white sheep who is obsessed with the love of his sons and daughters?

Mrs. Shi sent a housekeeper to the wine shop to catch the rebellious son and go home. Shi Guangyuan saw that my expression was uncertain, his eyes were dark, and he struggled to talk to me: "Nan Shuang, why is your face so ugly——Hey, Shi An, wait, let me Say a few more words! I haven't finished my sentence yet! Nanshuang, I came to apologize today, but you interrupted me just now and made me forget my business..." Before he could finish speaking, he was forcibly taken away by the butler.

I don't want to hear anything.The sky is cloudy and the sun is gone.
