Whoever wins the crouching dragon wins the world

Throughout July, I had nothing to do at Sima's house.Le Wen Novel|In the beginning, there were boys staring at me with the pretext of leading the way and fearing that I would stray away. I don’t know when the tail behind me disappeared. With the increase in the number of games between Kong Ming and Sima Yi, even if I deliberately went to Sima Yi No one would step forward to stop him from spying in the bookstore at home.

There is only one place that has always been a restricted area - the ancestral hall.

The ancestral house is the place where the family inherits. The houses of the Sima family are distributed in the shape of a back. , lifelike and lifelike.

I couldn't help feeling sorry: "The appearance is so extraordinary, and there are so many universes hidden inside. It's a pity that I don't have the chance to take a look inside."

"Women who are not in the grave are not allowed to enter the ancestral temple." Zhang Chunhua sat on a high chair with a big belly, a gentle smile on his amiable face, and dignified eyebrows, "In the entire Sima family, only the old lady and sister-in-law went in when they were first married. Once." The ancients valued patriarchal rights, and their customs believed that unmarried daughters would become other people's wives in the future, so they could not enter the ancestral hall.The daughter-in-law who married into the family belongs to a person with a different surname. Except for the wife who is crucial to the development of the family and needs to be seen by the ancestors after the ceremony, other people cannot take half a step into the ancestral hall, otherwise it is disrespectful.

When I was in Chang'an, there was a similar place in the Han Palace for enshrining ancestral tablets, but neither I nor Liu Xi had the opportunity to visit it.During the Dong Zhuo Rebellion, even Liu Bian, who was the Ninth Five-Year Supreme, could not protect himself, and it was even more impossible for others to have the energy to protect the dead. The dozens of imperial tablets carved from real gold and jade had long since disappeared in the flames of war.

"What's so interesting about the ancestral temple? In my opinion, my sister's study is the best. There are calligraphy and paintings of famous artists everywhere, and every calligraphy and painting is a treasure." Zhang Qiushi pouted and joked, his palm-sized face was full of innocence, " My biggest dream now is to go to the study room and read a book for an hour every morning!"

"Nerd!" Zhang Chunhua cursed in a good-tempered manner, holding his sister's hand and looking at me, "I don't know who she followed, but she is so addicted to books that she makes Madam Kong a joke."

"Where is it?" I smiled kindly.

Because Kong Ming said that the hexagrams that Sima Yi said when we met for the first time alluded to my identity, so since then I changed back to a woman's attire and falsely claimed to be the wife of "Mr. Kong" in Nanyang.Zhang Chunhua didn't know whether it was because of Sima Yi's instructions or because of the responsibility of the housewife. After that, he chatted with me every day, and even took out grapes, watermelons, peaches and other seasonal fruits that cost a thousand dollars to feed me, and I didn't get tired of it for a short time. Then a circle of fat.

I am reticent by nature, and Zhang Chunhua is not a person who is good at finding topics. Although I can share my pregnancy experience, there is always a time to finish talking. Therefore, after a few days of hard work to avoid cold silence, Zhang Chunhua finally realized what the problem was. I found Zhang Qiushi, the second sister of her family, to accompany me to save me from the danger of fat death.

But I don't like Zhang Qiushi.

She is the concubine sister of Zhang Chunhua's natal family, and her personality is completely different from that of her first sister.Zhang Chunhua is introverted and quick-witted, but Zhang Qiushi only learns a little bit of cleverness. Although she won the title of "Hanoi's No. [-] Talented Woman" through diligence, she always has a small family spirit that is integrated into the flesh and blood, which makes people unconsciously feel respectful and far away.

I don't know what Zhang Chunhua said to his sister, but Zhang Qiushi seemed very reserved in his speech.When we met for the first time, her back was tense and stiff, and although she tried her best to support her, she kept holding her breath involuntarily, and her complexion turned red and white.

I originally thought that Zhang Chunhua deliberately asked this sister out to enliven the atmosphere, but after seeing her performance, I became unsure.

Zhang Chunhua had a calm demeanor, as if he hadn't noticed his sister's gaffe at all, and said softly: "The summer is hard to endure, my husband wants to invite singing and dancing girls in the hall to relieve his fatigue, I wonder if Mrs. Kong has a favorite prostitute to recommend?"

I shook my head and declined politely: "I'm new here, if the second wife asks me about the Nanyang song hall, I can still talk a little bit about it. I really don't know anything about prostitutes in Hanoi."

In fact, when Kong Ming took me to visit Fangshi earlier, I heard passers-by chatting, saying that Miss Tianyinge Suwan's neon dress dance is as light as spring swallows brushing willows and as light as butterflies, which is a masterpiece.It's a pity that the owner of Tianyin Pavilion is very rich, and Miss Suwan is proud of herself, saying that she will not dance unless she is a daughter. Therefore, although her dancing skills are excellent, it is rare to be on stage, which is a pity.

Now I am just a foreigner, even if I am curious about the legendary "Partridge Flying Spring Sleeves" dance, I don't want to let the master spend money rashly.

Zhang Chunhua smiled: "The local song halls are not as numerous as Jingxiang, but there are many practitioners. Jiang Yue, Su Wan, Shao Yi, and Rou Xian are the four who are excellent in singing and dancing. Among them, Jiang Yue and Shao Yi are famous for their songs, and Su Wan , Rouxian is famous for dancing, my old lady celebrated her birthday half a month ago, and she invited the girl in Shaoyi from the Yanlai Pavilion. The song "Xianghe Song" was sung thousands of times, and it circled the beam for three days, and it lasted for a long time. "

Shaoyi's worth is only about one-third of Suwan's. Although Sima's family is rich, they are not wealthy local tyrants. He said that he was looking forward to listening to "Song of Xianghe" praised by Zhang Chunhua.

"Then I'll ask the steward to make arrangements early." Zhang Chunhua pursed his lips and smiled lightly. "At that time, a stage will be set up next to the lotus pond. Madam Kong must appreciate it."

I agreed: "Then Nan Shuang will be disrespectful, thank you Second Madam for your kindness."

Zhang Qiushi sat on the side with tense facial muscles. From my perspective, I could clearly see that her chest was already wet with sweat, but she bit her lips subconsciously and never participated in the discussion between Zhang Chunhua and me from the beginning to the end.

"Did Zhang Chunhua tell her my identity?" Back at the hostel, I asked Kong Ming suspiciously.The ancients valued imperial power, and it didn't seem so strange for a little girl who had never seen the world to be frightened by a high-ranking princess.

But Kong Ming shook his head: "Zhongda is cautious, even if he is as close as Zhang, he may not tell the truth, let alone his wife and sister."

"Then she has no reason to be afraid of being like that? I'm not a tiger that can eat people." I couldn't understand it, "Zhang Qiushi has a rare talent and reputation, and she has a very good reputation in Hanoi. Many people praise her for her manners. It's so generous."

"Maybe there are other reasons." Kong Ming's thoughts were all on business, and he didn't care about Zhang Qiushi's abnormality, "Twelve days ago, the prince had entered Yizhou, but because of the long distance, the news did not reach Hanoi until today. , the details are currently unknown.”

There is already a riot on the street!

It has been more than [-] years since Liu Zhang's father, Liu Yan, was welcomed into Yizhou by Jia Long, who was in charge of Yizhou at the time. It is common for the state to separate itself and defend itself, and suddenly Liu Xi seized Liu Zhang's territory. Even though everyone knew that this country should belong to Liu Xie in name, they couldn't help but discuss a few words.

"Liu Zhang is the successor of King Lugong Liu Yu of the Han Dynasty. It is reasonable to occupy the family business established by Emperor Guangwu, but he is not orthodox after all. In terms of it, he is still the king of Pingan. He is the youngest son of the former emperor, and he is a dragon with red roots!"

"No matter how well-known King Ping'an is, it's not him who is sitting on the dragon chair now, but just making wedding clothes for others."

"Cut~ What do you know, there are still few brothers in the royal family? Didn't you see that King Ping'an played the ground under the banner of 'reviving the Han Dynasty', and he didn't say that it would be returned to the original owner in the future. Just look at it with your bull's eyes wide open." It is said that if King Pingan fights back to Chang'an in the future, he will definitely take away brother's dragon chair and put the crown on his head.

"Oh, you old man, what are you talking about? You dare to say such decapitation, don't you want to kill yourself?"

……

I calmly sat in front of the food stall and waited for the shopkeeper to serve the delicious zongzi to the table. I was surrounded by traffickers coming and going, and it was extensive and lively.

"You really want to eat here?" Zhang Qiushi looked at me with a frown, showing hesitation, "What's so delicious here?" She poked the rice dumpling just out of the pot with her chopsticks, as if she didn't know what to do.

This time it was my turn to be surprised: "You haven't eaten this before?" Unlikely?When I was in Nanyang, on the fifth day of May every year, every household would wrap a few rice dumplings to commemorate Qu Yuan. I thought it was the same in Hanoi, but I didn’t expect the people in Hanoi not to eat rice dumplings?In comparison, the dispute between the sweet party and the salty party in later generations seems trivial.

"Of course I've eaten it!" Zhang Qiushi glared at me dissatisfied, with a proud expression of "I really misunderstood you", "I just haven't peeled the rice dumpling shell myself, this is the maid's job!"

A group of bodyguards who are big and thick behind you look at me and look at you, and they all express that they dare not touch Miss Biao's zongzi with their dirty hands.

My hand, which was quickly undressing the rice dumpling, involuntarily paused for a moment, belatedly realizing that I was being despised: "It's just peeling a rice dumpling, and it's easy to do it yourself." I am so superior that I don't need to bother teaching her.What's more, instead of looking at the monk's face and looking at the Buddha's face, today I came to Fangshi on a whim.Zhang Chunhua was too polite, he couldn't accompany her with a big belly, so he forced the girl over, saying that he must not neglect me, a distinguished guest.

Zhang Qiushi didn't know what to think, he hesitated a little, and said hesitantly: "You, how can your hands be so rough?"

Of course, it was because I did a lot of rough work in the thatched cottage, even if I tried many methods to nourish it later, I couldn't recover the previous loss.Almost all the noble ladies of the Three Kingdoms do not touch the spring water with their fingers. My hands of the working people clearly made Zhang Qiushi suspicious: "Aren't you the daughter-in-law of the Taizhong doctor?"

"Of course not." Taizhong doctor sounds like an official position, but unfortunately Liu Xi has completely reformed the official position in the Han Dynasty after he came to power. I don't know anything about this title.

"Really..." Zhang Qiushi responded with a strange expression, poked the rice dumpling with his chopsticks again, and then said to me: "Then please help me peel the rice dumpling."

Since then, she has never shown any nervous and fearful emotions in front of me.

After hearing about this, Kongming explained: "The Taizhong doctor was first established in Qin Dynasty, and he was in charge of discussing it, and it has been used until now. The Taizhong doctor in Zhang's mouth should refer to Kong Rong, whose word Wenju is the No. 19 grandson of Confucius. , capable of poetry and prose, intelligent and excellent, and of noble character, his virtuous reputation spread far and wide."

"But even if I am 'Mrs. Kong', I can't be Kong Rong's daughter-in-law. Although he has passed the age of knowing the destiny, his son is still young this year." The reason why I remember the age of Kong Rong's son , because of the source of the allusion that "there are eggs under the overturned nest" that was answered in the exam in the previous life.When Kong Rong was killed by Cao Cao, his two sons and daughters were not yet ten years old, but they could already say, "Where is there a nest that can't be destroyed if the eggs are not broken?"

"The second lady must have said your identity too vaguely, so that Mrs. Zhang misunderstood." Kong Ming inferred absently, and immediately changed the subject.Zhang Qiushi is just a small person. Kong Ming has already negotiated with Sima Yi to send him to be an undercover agent next to Cao Cao. We will leave Hanoi tomorrow, and the mountains and rivers will be far away. A waste of time pondering her mind.

Our attention is entirely on the future of the trip.

"Tomorrow we are going to Luoyang." Luoyang is the old capital, and Rongwei is not the same as the cities we passed through before.Although I persuaded Kong Ming to take me with me, considering my increasingly clumsy body and the risks I might face, I couldn't help but feel a little worried.According to the original plan, we were going to Luoyang to wreak havoc...

"Don't frown, otherwise it would be a good idea to raise the child in my womb into an angry temper." Kong Ming gently smoothed my frowning brows, and his tone was soothing and unreasonably trustworthy, "My husband will arrange everything by himself. It will not put my wife in danger."

I naturally believe in his ability, but as the saying goes, don't be afraid of ten thousand, only in case...

Forget it, this trip to Luoyang is far more than a thousand miles away, and we have to plan to make a fortune on the way, so it's too early to start worrying now.Suppressing my worries, I packed my luggage with Kong Ming, took an early rest and prepared to leave the city tomorrow.

When the sky fell and Kong Ming supported it, maybe the boat would really straighten up when it reached the front.Thinking of this, I drifted off into dreamland.
