Whoever wins the crouching dragon wins the world

Dealing with small affairs is an extremely energy-consuming thing. After I take care of the bold and reckless local officials, the treetops in the courtyard have already lost all their leaves.This year's winter snow came very late, but the industrious Donghan put away the old quilt early and replaced it with warmer quilts, and Wodong became a very happy thing.

Because of the nostalgia for the warmth in the bed, as the weather turns cold, I, who never take a nap, gradually develop the habit of taking a nap at noon.

Chunhong came into the room with the stove, and sat crookedly beside Xia Lu to watch her play according to the orange-red firelight. As her fingers fluttered, beautiful patterns jumped out of her palms, so bright and lovely, with a sense of home. Relaxed and cozy.

Yawning all over the place, I sat on the bed and let Qiu Shuang arrange my grooming.

"Calculating the time, it's time for Mr. Zhonglang to enter the city." After a moment of silence, Chunhong's voice came in through the hollowed-out pane, with hesitation in her words, "Is the princess really not going to welcome you? The prince just now They even sent someone to ask... Zhaocai is waiting outside the door."

"Don't go, let Zhaocai go back and return to life." My nose is blocked, my eyes are sore, and I may shed tears at any time, "I have a cold...the wind and cold are so annoying...Ah Choo!" Such a cold day, I hate it You can't hibernate in your room, so don't stand and suffer in the cold wind.

Although, I do miss Kong Ming a little bit.

It's been half a year in a flash.His trip was as smooth as it was recorded in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms". Not only was the grass boat borrowed arrows to gain fame, but he also told Liu Xi that Sun Shangxiang was a close relative. in law.The spring breeze is proud of the horseshoe disease, and the promising young man returns to his hometown in fine clothes. I don't know how many girls' hearts he will reap.

However, I am not at all worried that Kong Ming will empathize with others.

Since his mission to Jiangdong, I have received so many gifts that they almost occupy the entire dormitory.As big as a screen and as small as a wooden comb, Kong Ming seems to have made up his mind to imprint his mark on all my daily necessities. Meteor horses running back and forth between Jiangdong and Xiangyang are more frequent than Prince Ping'an's Mansion.

Such self-serving will of course arouse Liu Xi's strong dissatisfaction: "He also gave me a little bit of moderation. Although these details are insignificant compared with his merits, I will be criticized by civil officials and say that I treat my subordinates harshly. Xiu Enai's abuse of a single dog is really annoying, and I can't help but want to abuse it back!"

I am speechless.

If before the Battle of Chibi, Kong Ming was just a strategist in Liu Xi's camp relying on nepotism, then after the Battle of Chibi, he has the confidence and confidence to fight for the right to speak.The name of Wolong Zhuge Lang spread throughout the country with the defeat of more than [-] Cao troops. In the past, soldiers always showed disdain when they talked about the "Feather Fan Lord" who played the piano in front of the princess mansion, but the status determines the direction of public opinion. Now , no one dared to mock his lack of self-knowledge anymore.

They would only say that the princess and the Zhonglang general are both talented and beautiful, and they are a match made in heaven.

Giving gifts is the most blatant conspiracy. Kong Ming clearly told me in the letter that he thought it was the best way to deter his rivals: "My fair lady, a gentleman is very good. The princess has entered the age of marriage, and Liangyuan is beyond the reach of Jiangdong, lest she be caught. Others are too late to regret it, so they can only make this bad plan."

Confucian style is very characteristic.Guo Jia once joked with me in private, saying that his nephew Guo Ju originally wanted to be a son-in-law, but because of Kong Ming's strength and understanding of current affairs, he backed down and married Huang Chengyan's cousin's daughter instead.

The corner of my mouth raised unconsciously: "Sir, you are joking. The Guo family in Yingchuan is a family of Zhongming Dingshi. How can you have to worry about other people's faces when you propose marriage." The son-in-law's mother-in-law doesn't know how many things there are, only Shi Guangyuan, who protects the short-term and frantic, can say, "The princess is the bright moon in the sky, and only the light of Kong Ming can shine with it. How can the faintness of the torch compete with the sun and the moon?" Word.In the eyes of the world, Kong Ming's lineage, which has shown signs of dilapidation, has no power to fight against the thriving Guo family.

But Guo Jia valued Kong Ming's potential very much: "Langya is the heir of Zhuge's poems and books, and his sons are diligent and upright. As if thinking of something funny, his eyes were like crescent moons: "Even if Ah Ju doesn't need to care about other people, he still needs to ask the newlyweds what he wants to do in his life. From what I can see, Kong Ming is following the example of Jiang Taigong, who was fishing. Those who wish will be hooked!"

I was speechless by what he said.

That's right, I was the stupid fish who voluntarily took the bait. Although I was very dissatisfied with Kong Ming, I still couldn't say a word of rejection when he held the gift in front of him from thousands of miles away.

It was never Kong Ming's announcement that stopped Jing Xiang Junjie, but my ambiguous attitude.

"Anyone with eyes can tell that you are determined to hang yourself on Zhuge Liang's crooked neck tree. Who would want to make fun of you!" Liu Xi had already seen through Kong Ming's plan, and pointed at my forehead as a lesson, "Since If you can't bear it in your heart, then you should marry him earlier, otherwise, if he changes his mind, you will have no place to cry."

"He won't." I was very sure in my heart, "I'm a princess, as long as you don't fail, I'll be the only one who dumps him, and he doesn't have the right to dump me." Otherwise, is his future going to end?

The confession in the carriage that day made it very clear that the premise that Kong Ming liked me was that I was not Cao Cao's daughter.Conditional love is always easy to disappoint, but once I got over my initial anger, I realized it wasn't all unhealthy.At least now, I will no longer feel panic because of Kong Ming's indifferent attitude, because I know very well what his weakness is, and I have those weights in my hand.

When I looked at this relationship from a rational perspective, it suddenly became very manageable and manageable overnight.

"After all, you still have resentment in your heart." Liu Xi stared at my face for a long time before concluding, "But you didn't intend to really reject him, so what's the point of procrastinating like this? I heard he planned to Ask for another kiss after returning to Xiangyang...what are you going to do?"

"Promise him." After half a year, I have thought clearly, "You are right, I can't let him go, so I won't let him marry someone else. But I really can't get back because of him. In a word, a gift and a state of ecstasy, so let's just make do with it." Now even I can't tell how much love I have left.

"What a happy wedding, how can you describe it as so miserable!" Liu Xi shuddered for no reason, and probed, "Why didn't I see that you still have the potential to become black? How can you change your personality in a second? That kind of type who abuses the heart and abuses others and himself, Zhuge Liang, who embraced the beauty, suddenly became a tragedy."

"I didn't retaliate against him, I'm just a little discouraged." I rolled my eyes at him, dissatisfied with the messy adjectives he used, "Kong Ming sent this one today and another tomorrow, the city is full of trouble, but who can guarantee his How much sincerity is there in the gift? As long as there is an order, some people are willing to do his best for him. Those exquisite objects that attract people's attention are not even the things he picked. Come on, men are reliable, sows can climb trees!"

In fact, if you think about it carefully, most of the love in this era is like this.Except for a very small number of childhood sweethearts, men and women are blindly married, and they are lucky not to be resentful couples, so how can they dare to expect anything else?Even Zhuo Wenjun, who is regarded as a model of conjugal love, also has the determination of "Wen Jun has two opinions" in "White Head Yin".

Compared with Sima Xiangru, who has empathized with another, Kong Ming's problem may be more serious. With his rationality, can he really have such emotions as "love madness"?Even if I was really his favorite woman, he would give up without hesitation compared to my family and country and achievements.

"You used to be too emotional, but now you are too rational." Liu Xi's mentality is like a parent who cares for a child's growth. He is worried that the child's personality is innocent and unreal, and he is also worried that the child has experienced too much and is sensible and distressing. , "When the water is clear, there will be no fish, and when people observe it, there will be no disciples. If you see the land too clearly, it will not be easy to be happy."

But I can't control the cranky thoughts in my mind.Whenever I think of Kong Ming, after the initial sweet joy fades away, there will always be hidden worries that will overwhelm the mountains and seas.

"Why is the disease so serious?" After half a year, Kong Ming was even more gentle and handsome than before, while I was shaking my nose and coughing, and I was very sorry for the princess's demeanor.Kong Ming did not expect to see me wrapped up like a cicada pupa when he came back from the trek, and his eyes showed helplessness: "Have you taken any medicine? I warn you to be careful, how are you now..."

"It's getting cold too fast." I will not admit that I didn't sleep well, and I kicked off the quilt in the middle of the night, which caused disaster. "I just took the medicine. What did you give Qiushuang? It's also for food?" It's a big paper bag, it looks good from a distance, but unfortunately I can't smell the fragrance because my nose is blocked.

"It's small pancakes, Jiangdong local products strongly recommended by Zhou Dudu's wife Qiao." Kong Ming tried my body temperature and explained, "It's not for you, it's for running. It especially liked small pancakes when it was young." .”

"Oh." Liar, for a dog, can the best cake taste as good as meat?He was obviously afraid that I would be gluttonous and greasy during my illness, so he used Paopao as a shield. I can't go grabbing cakes with a dog.

However, except for the delicacies produced in Prince Pingan's Mansion, the food of the Three Kingdoms is hell mode for me, and I am not interested at all: "How does Xiao Qiao look, is she really as shameful as the rumors say?

"You really have problems." Kong Ming sighed, and gave an answer that pleases me without ignoring my conscience, "How do you ask me to answer? Naturally, I am not as beautiful as you in my eyes, but Feng Cha said, Joe She's the most beautiful girl he's ever seen."

... You don't need to say the second half of the sentence.

"That's serving tea without vision." Shrugging, I felt that the snot had almost touched the opening of the nostril, so I sucked it quickly, and hummed in a concealed manner, "When I recover from illness, I have to call him to take care of him." An education."

"Okay, okay!" Kong Ming followed suit and suggested, "You'd better rest early, and when you're healthy, I'll take you to the suburbs to see the stars."

"You can see the stars looking up, what are you going to do in the suburbs?" Halfway through the sentence, I suddenly thought of Liu Xi's speculation that Kong Ming was going to confess his love again, so I quickly stopped talking and shrank my body into the thick quilt, "I'm sleepy, I'm going to sleep .”

"Then you have a good rest." Kong Ming stood up without doubting him, "I'm leaving first, and I'll come to see you when I have free time in three days."

"Okay." Drowsiness hit me, and I yawned. It seemed that before Kong Ming walked out of the princess mansion, he had dreamed of meeting Duke Zhou.
