Whoever wins the crouching dragon wins the world

When Lin Yuejie entered the room, Chunxiang had already been dragged out.Her cry just now was so loud that it was impossible for Lin Yuejie who had been waiting in the side hall not to have heard it, but she pretended to be ignorant and bowed down to me very naturally: "Mr. It’s been a few months, and I’m glad to see the princess is well.”

He didn't mention those thousands of years of congratulations, just said it's been a long time, obviously wanting to recount my old friendship with me.

But I have no old relationship with her to talk about!In terms of business, she ran out of my family's wine shop and almost closed down, making me almost unemployed and living on the street; in terms of private affairs, her wet nurse, Mrs. Liu, refused to save her, and Kong Ming's fake body was exposed to the street and was pointed out by others.I originally thought that she would develop with Zhuge Jun in Jiangdong from now on and never see me again. Who would have thought that she would kill me and brazenly post her as a visit to my house.

However, Lin Yuejie is not too stupid after all, the maid standing behind her has changed to a strange face, it is not the Liu family whom I wish I could cut to pieces.

It must have been prepared, and before I could ask, Lin Yuejie took the initiative to introduce with a smile: "This is the servant girl Youshi I recently brought up. The previous Liu family had a wicked mind, and I ordered someone to beat her to death with a stick." I hope that Princess Nian will not be mad at her because of her age and lack of knowledge."

She sternly listed Liu's three major crimes: seeing death in the thatched hut and refusing to save him, which is the same crime; knowing the news of Kong Ming's death but not lying or reporting it, keeping her and Zhuge in the dark, This is the second crime; having eyes but no eyes and seeing no one, repeatedly bumping into the princess without repentance, this is the third crime.Such a slave who "has committed a heinous crime and deceived the master" is naturally not to be tolerated, and "must never remain in the world."

...With just a few words, all the crimes were blamed on Mrs. Liu, and Lin Yuejie's biggest mistake was to trust the wet nurse so much that she was deceived by her.

I suddenly felt that there was some reason for the ancients to despise merchants. Merchants valued profits and neglected divorce. Even Lin Yuejie could easily abandon a wet nurse who was with her day and night. After thinking about it, it was chilling.

From this point of view, although Mrs. Liu is a hateful person, there are also pitiful things.

Of course, Liu's life and death have nothing to do with me.

Putting aside my unnecessary thoughts, I asked Lin Yuejie: ​​"I heard that you and your husband went to Jiangdong in the last year of the twelfth lunar month, planning to serve as officials under Sun Quan. I don't know what to do when you visit Xinye now?" I took over the affairs of Xinye, Liu Xi then shared with me the eyes and ears he had been operating for many years.It was only then that I realized that the nameless teahouses all over the place were actually Liu Xi's property, and those "hundreds of young people in the rivers and lakes" who were popular with tea drinkers and thousands of people were the leaders of public opinion that Liu Xi spent a lot of energy cultivating.They subtly convey Liu Xi's views on current affairs to ordinary people through storytelling, a popular activity among the masses.The fact that Princess Shengyang and King Pingan are still popular for many years after the official obituary was issued is actually thanks to the deliberate guidance of Bai Xiaosheng.Among the folks, even a three-year-old child can tell a story about "King Ping An escaped from Xudu, and Princess Shengyang traveled thousands of miles with her brother". No one really believes that we have died of illness in the deep palace.

With such a huge news network as the backing, I got the news as soon as "Zhuge Jun, the younger brother of Zhuge Military Adviser" entered Xinye two days ago.According to the secret report, Zhuge Jun rented a secondary house in Wupeng Lane in the south of the city, and ordered his servants to sweep and clean it, as if he planned to live there for a long time.The editor in charge of collecting information added a special note at the end of the report, reminding me that "Zhuge Ziheng came from Jiangdong and made friends with Zhuge Jin. In this extraordinary period, beware of fraud."But I think that although Sun Quan may not be a hero who never engages in conspiracy and tricks, he should not send a subordinate who is old with me to Xinye as a spy because he is afraid of Liu Xi.I don't worry about Lin Yuejie's character, but Zhuge Jun has always had a good character, and he is not a person who uses old love as a bargaining chip.

However, Lin Yuejie didn't know that I had already grasped the whereabouts of her and Zhuge Jun, so she said cleverly that she only arrived in Xinye last night, and there was no time to rest and recuperate today, so she couldn't wait to visit my extremely important "old friend".She weighed her stomach unintentionally, and replied with a smile: "My husband took me to Jiangdong just to meet my eldest brother, just to talk about relatives, nothing else. Partial belief, misunderstood me and Ziheng. Although Sun Zhongmou possesses Jiangdong, but his intelligence is weak, he can only limit Jiang to protect himself, how can he be as decisive as Pingan Wang, and he is definitely not a person who can achieve great things." He completely overthrew those who were close to Soochow before Behavior, declared that he would come to Xinye to serve as an official.

I clearly remember that she once said to Kong Ming before, "General Sun inherits the ambitions of his father and brother. He is benevolent and righteous. His teachers and friends are loyal and virtuous. He is a hero in the world. If Ziheng is in Jiangdong, there will be a master who knows how to use him well, and a brother who will be subordinate." With the support of Zhong Sima, she will definitely stand out and have a bright future." I just feel that this woman's ability to speak eloquently and tell lies with her eyes open is simply amazing.

Seeing that I didn't talk to me, Lin Yuejie didn't feel annoyed at all, and touched her stomach again, and further explained: "Ziheng grew up with his second brother in Longzhong since he was a child, and he has a deep brotherhood. Advancing and retreating. King Ping'an is the son of the first emperor, with both ability and political integrity, and a kind heart. The women only hope that the husband can be a small official with a salary of five or six hundred shi under the prince's command, and do his best to restore the Han Dynasty. It's gone."

How dare I say it!The rank salary of Zhongsan doctor is six hundred shi, and the minister's servant is five hundred shi. In this life, Liu Bei will be mixed with a Yuzhou shepherd until he dies. The rank salary is only six or seven hundred shi. been.Lin Yuejie said that she was a "little official" with a rank and salary of five or six hundred shi, and she didn't know whether to praise her for her ambition or scold her for being high-minded but incompetent.

The most important thing is, since you hated each other with Kong Ming before, you are so stubborn. What does it mean to come back and hug your thigh when you see that someone is showing signs of prosperity?Besides, Zhuge Jin still has the official title of Zhong Sima in Jiangdong. Although he is not a high-ranking official, he has been in business for many years and has won the trust of Sun Quan. One of them doesn't seem to have much right to speak.

In fact, Liu Xi was at the time when he was employing people, and he was thirsty for talents, and he was eager for talents from all over the world to come to vote.But Zhuge Jun himself has not expressed anything yet, Lin Yuejie jumped out first to take care of his nepotism, which inevitably makes people feel absurd.With Zhuge Jun's talent, he could go through the front door to become an official, so why bother to go through the back door to provoke criticism?

I didn't want to follow Lin Yuejie's words to discuss Zhuge Jun's official position, so I could only focus on her obviously protruding belly, and changed the subject: "How many months have you been?"

Different from the cautiousness of pregnant women in later generations, although the death rate of women in ancient times was extremely high, not many people took it seriously. Husbands should sleep with beautiful concubines and beautiful concubines should be at home or not. Lin Yuejie even followed Zhuge Jun with her first child After a tiring journey all the way, I returned to Xinye after traveling thousands of miles from Jiangdong.Except for a few freckles that appeared faintly on her face, Lin Yuejie was in very good condition: "I just turned May, please ask the princess for more information."

"That's it." I didn't care about her child at all, and I couldn't arouse the interest in chatting with her, so I just nodded indiscriminately.If Chunxiang hadn't accepted her salutation on her own initiative, I could have completely shut her down.

It's a pity that Lin Yuejie has no sense of being unpopular at all, and suggested very familiarly: "Experienced old people say that this fetus looks like a boy, and the women are wondering if they can ask the princess to give him a name, so that the little baby can also get a taste of it." Your honor?"

Hehe, it's pretty nice of you to think: "Choosing a name is the joy of being a father, so I won't take away the beauty of others."

Lin Yuejie was stunned for a second, as if she didn't expect that I would refuse, and the atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.However, she is used to wind and rain in charge of the family business, so she quickly adjusted her mood, without even a trace of resentment on her face, and euphemistically mentioned the flower viewing feast seven days later: "The women are just here, and I just vaguely heard the servant girl in the mansion say that the princess will do it. The lotus banquet is roughly meant to celebrate the princess' birthday?"

"It's not a big deal, it's just an excuse to invite some friends to get together." If there were no reminders from good people, I would have almost forgotten this so-called birthday.In the winter of my previous life, the day when there was cake to eat and birthday singing was my real birthday.

But obviously Lin Yuejie doesn't think so: "The women came from Jiangdong and brought some special local products for the princess. In addition to Jiangdong's famous luminous brocade and sea pearls, there is also a birthday gift specially prepared for the princess. A rare nine-color lotus, it is said that it has the same root and origin as the nine-color lotus seat of the Heavenly Venerable Taiyi, I wonder if the princess would be interested in taking a look?"

Nine-color lotus?Liar, I have only seen it in fantasy movies in my two lifetimes.

I watched Youshi take out the lotus from an exquisite iron box without much hope. To my surprise, there were really nine colors of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, white, and black, but the distribution was not even. It's not aesthetically pleasing, and looks shoddy and funny.

Don't it fade when you touch it?This doesn't look very solid.

Just as I was about to reach out to have a try, Lin Yuejie stopped her and said, "Princess, this flower is a sacred object, you can only watch it from a distance and not play with it!"

...It is clearly because I am afraid that I will stick to the dye!

It was the first time I was coaxed into such a serious fool, and I was also drunk in my heart. I just felt that Lin Yuejie's brain circuit was incomprehensible.What is the point of telling such a lie that can be seen through at a glance?

However, it was only at the Lotus Banquet seven days later that I realized that there were fools everywhere in the Three Kingdoms, and Lin Yuejie absolutely did not mean to underestimate my IQ because of my obsessive love for Kong Ming.

The "nine-color sacred lotus" that I planned to hide in the snow was not only asked by the guests many times, but also the wife of Yilang Wang Min's family, Qiao Shi, prostrated herself under the holy light of the lotus on the spot after seeing the real thing. She was so excited that she could hardly speak , there is no doubt that it was processed after the day after tomorrow: "Infinite longevity, auspiciousness from heaven! Taiyi saves suffering and descends the incarnation of the nine-color lotus seat to purify the suffering of the world and save all living beings. This is the blessing of His Highness and the blessing of the common people." !"

I stared dumbfounded at the banquet where all the guests knelt down one after another, and I was the only one standing alone, standing out from the crowd.

The feeling that everyone is drunk and I am sober is actually not very good.

After a long time, thinking of the good news I received last night, I slowly knelt down and said, "The blessing of the holy lotus, King Ping'an was enlightened by the Queen Mother, Taiyi rescued the suffering, and the heavenly deity favored him, and the Han Dynasty will be revived, and the world will be restored to peace!"
