With Nanzi, Wei Linggong's glorious image as a "king" in front of the world was finally "corrected" by force.
Also because of Nanzi, Mi Zixia breathed a sigh of relief. He no longer had to be criticized by the world and could concentrate on being his "General Zuo".
Of course, this is only on the surface.
How could Ji Yuan change his mind so easily?
Although it goes without saying that Nanzi is beautiful, for Ji Yuanlai, it is not difficult to let go of Mizi's beauty.
Compared with before marrying Nanzi, Wei Linggong seemed to be more interested in hunting and patrolling. He was so diligent and obsessed with government affairs that he couldn't extricate himself.
Moreover, every time you travel, you must take "General Zuo" with you.
Nanzi originally felt that she was "married", and coupled with such days of "one hot day and three cold days", she couldn't let go.
She wrote to her mother-in-law about her difficult situation, but she could only get a reply asking her to "slowly adapt".
Only a letter from Brother Chao, who she grew up with, could give her some comfort.
Chao and Nanzi were both sons and princesses of the Song Dynasty. Although their mothers were different, in the final analysis, they were still half-brothers and sisters.
Both of them are good-looking, noble, and have a good relationship. But now that Nanzi is marrying far away, the good times the two can joke and fight together can only be remembered as past events.
They exchanged letters and told each other how much they missed each other. Although the distance between the two became wider, the relationship became deeper because of the "distance".
It really lives up to the saying "distance creates beauty".
Of course, the noble beauty of the two people has long been a "beautiful" model passed down by the people.
While "marriages" continued among the royal family, the ever restless minister was also nervously planning his "mission".
Rather than killing the owner of "Zhuoyu Pavilion" and the two teenagers at once, he prefers to play games with "chain effects":
Princess Lu wanted Zhiyu to die, but he knew that if Yang Zhen knew about it, he would definitely stop it; and what he wanted was to see Yang Zhen and his family all die, and the more complete the death, the better. It would be best if everyone, from Wang Dan to Wang Dan, could die in front of his eyes to avenge the shame of being deceived and demoted.
Through two "pseudo wars", Shou Chen has accumulated a lot of wealth and connections for himself, which allows him to travel between Wei, Lu and Tan with ease; and Yang Hu is also interested in this "fake war" that can operate back and forth. Villain", he has a different view, and even has a certain "trust" in him.
By using money to open up the "information line", Shou Chen even instilled this technique into the "Zeofu" merchant gang team built by Yang Zhen himself, and could make this group of people work for him; while for Yang Zhen Pour “information shielding”.
As long as you have money, there are plenty of channels for this "will" to flow!
This method, no matter where it is used: from officers and soldiers to merchants, will always be detrimental.
Shou Chen and Yang Hu got closer and closer easily just because they had such "common values".
"It is unkind to be rich", Yang Hu's words gave the minister great "theoretical support", allowing him to use these words to give himself a "strong" reputation even though he had obviously committed many "evils" by taking advantage of the national conditions of various countries. Heart needle".
The ministers have left the officialdom and pursue wealth wholeheartedly, and do not care about reputation or image. But the officials in the officialdom are different. They not only want to have power, but also want to have a "fame" and be "incorruptible" in their words. Requires packaging.
The saying "a gentleman is like jade" gave them an excellent "packaging": jade.
In the trade of various countries at that time, the consumption of jade products was very large. It was also due to the national and folk customs of the Wei Kingdom. It inherited the legacy of the Zhou royal family and used "jade" to show the virtue and quality of a gentleman. It was used in civil and official circles. When it is difficult to tell the difference between true and false, a gentleman or a villain, carrying a jade with you and holding something in your hand has become the standard outfit for those "pretentious" "hypocrites".
As for the "Zhuoyu Pavilion" that Zhiyu is responsible for managing, the "official purchase" orders it already has are enough to meet the store's expenses for more than three years. Therefore, the store decoration is also extremely luxurious, using the most precious materials for construction, and also It's all childish; just for each small "jade piece", the value of the rosewood simulated miniature furniture alone is enough to put ordinary people at a loss.
But on this day, one of the distinguished guests who came to the door was not an "ordinary citizen".
Taking advantage of Ji Yuan's absence, Nanzi dressed up as a "gongzi" and went shopping in this market. When passing by "Zhuoyu Pavilion", I saw the long queue in front of the door and became curious, so I went in to watch the excitement.
After seeing this, I could no longer “take it in”.
The handsome young man with starry eyes and sharp eyebrows who was the manager of the store had a "looking and looking" look that was deeply ingrained in her mind.
On this trip, she not only bought a bunch of jade jewelry, but also put down a deposit, saying that she would come back soon to buy more large jade jewelry.
Although the two beautiful young men still looked respectful, their eyes had already shown the look of someone who had "read a thousand sails". They were calm and did not show a humble and flattering attitude of being "flattered". This kind of "neither humble nor overbearing" attitude. Their calmness aroused Nanzi's excitement, and he secretly thought: These two young men are of noble character and are not moved by wealth.
In fact, Nanzi didn't need to show her kindness. From her various actions as soon as she entered the door, the young manager had already guessed her identity and intentions, so he didn't show any special attitude.
In their minds, the only person who is truly good to them in this world is "Zhiyu".
The insults from the guards, the Lu princess's abandonment, and the rewards and support from the guests were all motivated by "lust", "curiosity" and to satisfy one's own selfish desires; only "knowing jade", Not only did he save them and give them a living, but he never did anything "unruly" to their bodies, but showed pure love and respect.
In front of "Zhiyu", that's when the two of them can truly let go of all their grudges and defenses.
Although the two of them had wanted to do something personally, as a kind of "thank you" or "repay", Zhiyu would tenderly hold each other in his arms and say:
"I understand your intentions! I'm sorry for now. If there is a good opportunity in the future, I will find a better place for you!"
The "better place" that Zhiyu wants to go to is Yangzhen's place.
She knew that under "General Zhao", there were many opportunities for "good men" to win military exploits; they also had a legitimate way to rise, instead of being "slaves" who rolled out from under someone's bed and were despised by the world. Shame, unable to hold one's head high and stand among the people.
However, since she was driven out of the Tan Kingdom by the guardian, she has never had the opportunity to see Yang Zhen again.
The "cold feeling" from the Princess of Lu has reached her. It would be false to say that she did not take some precautions.
"Life is extremely difficult! Keep going and work hard!"
While she was still the master of "Zhuoyu Pavilion" and was far away in Weiguo, Zhiyu began to plan the future for herself and the two young men she had protected.
