"Madam, the money has been delivered." Through a curtain, Hu Shang knelt on the ground with his head bent.
"Did he agree?" The voice was charming and mature.
"No, I'm still thinking about it." Hu Shangtou didn't dare to look up.
"If you are wise, he will probably agree to your request soon. If you are not wise, just treat him as a reward for his kindness." The woman said casually.
"My subordinates understand." Hu Shang put his head on the ground, his expression tense, and he did not dare to show any slightest care.
"His arithmetic skills are acceptable. If you can use him, forget about it and leave." The woman said before leaving.
"Lan Qiu, You State is too powerful and cannot be allowed to grow bigger and annex Yu State. Yu State has asked Cheng State for reinforcements and sent an order to Cheng State's people to do their best to facilitate it." Hu Shangtou left, and the woman approached him. The maid ordered.
"As ordered." The maid lifted up the bead curtain and caught a glimpse of her stunning face.
The lonely palace concubine in the sky, with a face as bright as the moonlight, as plump and pleasant as a peach, as cold and proud as a snow lotus, with brocade robes and woven hairpins, charming eyebrows, a pair of charming autumn eyes, red lips and white teeth. Fresh, with skin as white as jade, jade wrists as bright as snow, blue birds clinging to each other, surrounding each other, the beauty is full of fairy spirit, and it is indescribably precious.
Lan Qiu left, and the beautiful woman was leisurely and contented. In her jade-white palms, cyan birds danced happily, forming a beautiful picture with the charming beauty. The beauty chuckled, like a dream.
After a long time, Lan Qiu came back and brought a letter.
"Madam, secret report."
The beautiful woman teasing the blue bird waved her hand, and the blue bird dispersed like smoke. She took the letter and glanced at it, her beautiful eyebrows furrowed.
"You are really not a human being. Traitors like Si Qin Shengjing will go to hell." The beautiful woman commented.
"Not only did he surrender to the enemy country, but he also served as an official for the enemy country to attack his own country. He has no shame. All the achievements he made in the first half of his life have been wiped out. And he still bears such a serious crime. Now he has been punished by an additional level and will be banned from rebirth forever." The beautiful woman sighed.
"Attacking his own country? The king of You Country is not afraid of him rebelling again?" Lan Qiu couldn't understand what the beautiful woman said.
"Why are you not afraid? We sent out the left and right armies, with Chen Zhao and Zhao Heng as deputy generals, but did not give him his original soldiers and generals, and only used him as a flag to persuade him to surrender. This is to destroy the Yu State, but even if he is given his original soldiers It would be difficult for him to mobilize the generals. A few days ago, thousands of heads fell to the ground on the execution ground, and evil spirits were floating in the sky. But they were all family members of these generals. It would be better for him to leave an unpopular concubine to bear the blame, and the whole family They all ran away." The beautiful woman sneered.
"On the contrary, this married concubine has a pure spirit and is not contaminated by evil spirits. She can become an immortal in her next life, but she doesn't know how long she will live as an immortal or when she will be born." The beautiful woman said regretfully.
"Is this why Madam helped Zhuang Xiaolian? Then why not just help the Siqin daughter collect the body." Lan Qiu couldn't understand.
"The world of mortals is rolling, and the threads are blending together. The most important thing in cultivating immortality is one kind of fate. There is fate but not fate. I have no fate with this girl. Forcibly inserting it will destroy my fate. But if this son is destined to me, I can help him." Beautiful woman Said with a faint smile.
"I don't understand, this slave, what is fate and what is not fate." Lan Qiu shook her head and said.
"That is the human relationship in the world of mortals. Take the daughter of the Si Qin family as an example. She had no relationship with me before her death. She neither knew nor knew each other. It was like two parallel lines. As a practitioner, I restrained myself for her. Corpse bones, to make her grateful to me, is to pull my thread to touch her thread. A practitioner's thread is straight, and if it deviates slightly, it will be broken, which is to destroy one's own conditioning. Zhuang Xun and I, I heard He has the ability of arithmetic and the desire to recruit him. Maybe originally this thought was not important, but because he wanted to bury other people's bones, it was just two intersecting threads that were tightened. It didn't matter." Xiang Lan, a beautiful woman Qiu explained.
"Madam, I understand, this means that only cultivators with connections can interfere. Practitioners without connections can only pretend they didn't see it even if they saw it." Lan Qiu said understandingly.
"That's it. This is why in many stories, the villain must first insult and hurt the immortal family before being punished by the immortal family. This is because the lines of the mortals are messy and touch the lines of the immortal family. In some stories, there is no one to deal with the evildoers." The beautiful woman smiled happily.
"Then why don't you recruit him directly with a few hundred taels? He must have never seen so much money, but you have to show him filial piety and integrity." Lan Qiu had new confusion.
"Not only do I want to promote him as a filial and honest person, I also want to spend money to make him an official. Of course, it will be fine if he follows the caravan to Chengguo." The beautiful woman said with a chuckle.
"This slave doesn't understand." Lan Qiu frowned, thinking about the deeper meaning.
"You and I, as practitioners, have three cultivations: cultivating luck, cultivating the mind, and cultivating skills. The most important thing is luck. If you have good luck, you know everything. The second is cultivating the mind, and finally the skills. There are two types of luck, personal and national. For example, if you become a heavenly master of a country, you can gain the protection of a country's destiny. As an individual, you can gain the good karma accumulated in your previous life and this life. Both are equally important in no particular order. As mentioned before, practitioners cannot interfere with themselves. Mortals who have no relationship, and people who have a relationship with them cannot be free, because if you help him, he will do evil things. Not only will it not accumulate your merits and luck, but it will harm yourself. In many stories, gods give benefits to mortals, and in the end Take it back, these are timely stop losses for people who don’t know people.” The beautiful woman sighed.
"Among the people who are sure to help, who can get the most luck by helping? Officials, of course. Officials carry the official aura transformed from the dynasty's aura and have greater ability to do good deeds. Therefore, most of the people in the story are helped by the immortals. We have all become officials. Since we are sure that Zhuang Xun has both good character and good character, we can gain merit and luck by recommending him as an official." The beautiful woman continued to teach Lan Qiu.
"But recommending him to be an official and recruiting him are two different things? How can they be put together?" Lan Qiu's brows knitted together.
"It's good to point out this problem, but I don't just admire his arithmetic skills. As the Queen Mother of Zhao State, I naturally hope that there will be more people like this and less people like Siqin Shengjing, so that You State cannot He annexed Yu State and then turned against Zhao State, so I recommended him to be an official.
Noticed?
This is a progressive relationship. First, he developed a love for talents because his caravan had a cooperative relationship with him. Then he noticed his righteous deeds of burying the daughter of the Siqin family. Finally, he hoped that more people like this would resist You. Recommended by the country, practitioners should sort out this series of relationships to ensure that they are both detached from the world and yet within them. Remember to force the connection, otherwise you will be like a bug stuck in a spider web, and it will be difficult to escape this world of mortals no matter what. net. "The beautiful woman taught.
"If he is a good official, he has merit and luck and can earn money, but what if he is just fishing for fame and reputation? After becoming an official, he will become corrupt very quickly. After all, it is too difficult for Yu State to survive the current situation." Lan Qiu Tangled said.
"I also want to see how he behaves next. If he can still maintain his original character, I will donate an official position to him. As for corruption, in the story, what is the ending of the corrupted mortals, then that should be his ending. "The beautiful woman smiled, and a blue bird popped out of her hand. It was jumping lively, and she said leisurely and casually: "If he is vigilant enough, he should go to Chengguo with the caravan. I also appreciate smart people."
