The New Year is a happy event, but not everyone is happy.
For example, Shin Qixian.
At this time, he was wrapped in a thick quilt in his big house at home, with the doors and windows closed and the stove burning brightly.
Even so, he still looked pale and felt cold.
He has been a little afraid of the cold since he was a child. It was okay when he was young. If he wears thicker clothes, it will be no problem.
But after middle age, it becomes a little easier to freeze.
Especially last year, because I was busy with government affairs, I accidentally contracted Laohan's leg.
This year, I was deeply saddened by the death of my wife, and I accidentally caught the cold while keeping a vigil at the funeral of my deeply affectionate wife.
His symptoms of wind and cold were much more severe than those of ordinary people. Even though he now controls the seven prefectures of Pingzhou and has sufficient resources to find the best doctors, it is of no use. He is still as cold as his grandson.
Even though he was freezing, no one else dared to underestimate him.
Since the death of the old magistrate, since the imperial court was gone, he had won over the new magistrate. Now he was in charge of all military and political affairs in Pingzhou. His awe-inspiring righteousness had long since dissipated, replaced by a strong royal aura.
Not to mention people, even many ghosts and ghosts would flee when they saw him, not daring to face him.
Therefore, the maid responsible for serving him was very careful, for fear of offending this man.
Of course, Shin Qixian has a good temper when dealing with people around him. He never beats or scolds villains at will. Many times, he won't even say harsh words.
So everyone not only respects him, but also sincerely supports him.
Shen Qixian was wrapped in a quilt by the stove, and he did not forget to review and deal with small and large matters.
The biggest headache for him now is Goxide, who occupies the four palaces in the south.
In fact, he had long wanted to send troops to destroy Gauxide.
But after all, the opponent is not a soft persimmon, and has many capable people, so Shen Qixian is not absolutely sure.
Moreover, both Gao Xide himself and Princess Lingbi are the royal family of the Xu Kingdom.
Even though everyone now knows that the Xu Kingdom has long existed in name only, this banner still needs to be held up.
In short, due to multiple concerns, Shen Qixian has not sent troops until now.
While she was reviewing official documents, a waitress came in cautiously from the outside. She only dared to open the door a little, for fear that the cold wind would flow in and freeze Mr. Shen.
The waitress bowed and reported:
"Sir, the master of Wuyin Cult has arrived."
Hearing this, Shen Qixian nodded and said:
"welcome."
The waitress left and went outside to call someone.
Not long after, the door opened, and strangely, no cold wind came in.
The person at the door was a beautiful woman who looked to be in her late thirties, almost forty, but still had some charm.
This beautiful woman has a gentle smile on her face, and her movements are graceful. At first glance, you will feel that she is a well-educated and well-behaved matron of a large family.
Behind the beautiful woman were two women with veils on their faces, pretty faces and graceful figures.
The clothes on the beautiful woman and the two women are somewhat similar, and they are both embroidered with patterns of the same sect that are obviously related.
It's just that the patterns on the beautiful women's clothes are more complicated, symbolizing a higher status.
The beautiful woman stepped forward, and the two women behind her closed the door consciously.
The beautiful woman came five steps in front of Shen Qixian, bowed and said:
"The owner of the Gongzi Pavilion of Wuyinjiao, a civilian woman, has heard the music in the palace and has met the Lord."
"No gift, is it that you have been selling the so-called 'miraculous medicine' all over Pingzhou recently?"
Shen Qixian looked at the beautiful woman in front of him who called himself Gong Wenle, and did not see a trace of fear or discomfort in her eyes.
Seeing this, you know that the other party is by no means an ordinary person.
Gong Wenle replied politely and thoughtfully:
"To answer people's questions, it's me who is selling elixirs to earn some fees."
"Aren't you music professionals? You should be able to make a lot of money. What kind of magic medicine are you selling?"
"Sir, in these troubled times, music and music, which were so popular in the prosperous times, can't make much money now.
I, a group of weak women, had no choice but to sell the ancestral elixir, just to make some money and survive in this troubled world. "
What Gong Wenle said was so sincere that one couldn't help but sympathize with their difficulties.
However, Shen Qixian was not moved by his performance and just said:
"It's true that you are women, but the word weak doesn't go hand in hand."
"My lord, I'm afraid you have some misunderstandings about us. We are just a group of helpless and weak women who gather together to make a living by doing some people-pleasing business."
Shen Qixian waved his hand and said:
"I didn't call you here to talk about this with you. I believe you can see my needs, right?"
When Gong Wenle heard this, the smile on his face remained unchanged, and the woman behind him bowed and handed over an exquisite box.
Opening the box in front of Shen Qixian, he saw that there were pills inside that were as round and plump as pearls.
"Sir, this is an elixir handed down from our ancestors, called 'Five Stone Powder', also known as 'Five Immortals Powder' and 'Hanshi Powder'."
Shen Qixian looked at the pills in the box, his eyes moved slightly, and he said:
"I heard rumors that if you take this stuff regularly, you can live forever and live as long as the sky?"
Gong Wenle maintained a standard smile and said:
“My lord, please forgive me, this is just a gimmick that we put up to sell this medicine, so naturally we don’t dare to deceive you.
This Five Stone Powder is not a longevity medicine, so it naturally has no such effect.
However, it is true that long-term use can prolong life. "
Shen Qixian asked again:
"Is it possible to cure my cold syndrome?"
"I don't dare to say too much about anything else, but your cold syndrome can definitely be cured by the medicine."
Gong Wenle said confidently.
Shen Qixian didn't say anything. There was already a waiter walking up to him and taking the box of "Five Stone Powder" from Gong Wenle.
"grown ups."
The waiter presented the things to Shen Qixian.
Shen Qixian looked at the pills in the box and hesitated.
Seeing this, the waiter understood this man's worries.
Thinking that this person was very kind to them on weekdays, and the waiter just wanted to show his loyalty, he said:
"Please allow me to test the medicine."
Shen Qixian did not refuse this and nodded slightly.
The waiter picked up a pill and drank it in front of Shen Qixian.
He didn't feel much at first, but after a while, the waiter felt full of energy, his whole body became hot, and he couldn't help but want to take off his clothes to cool down.
There was even white smoke rising from the top of his head.
"Sir, this medicine is very good!
The little man felt full of strength all over his body, as if he was several years younger. "
The waiter said a little excitedly.
Seeing this, Shen Qixian asked again:
"Is there any discomfort?"
The waiter moved around a lot, standing, sitting, lying down, and even doing a set of Wang Ba boxing without any problem.
This made Shen Qixian feel relieved, so he picked up a pill of "Five Stone Powder", carefully observed it for a while, and then tried to take it.
Gong Wen was happy to see this and still maintained his standard smile without any change in his expression.
After taking "Five Stone Powder", Shen Qixian felt a stream of heat in his body, and the chill that had been causing him pain was quickly dissipating.
Especially on Lao Han's legs, he could clearly feel the heat dissipating the cold air lingering on his legs.
After a while, I felt heat flowing throughout my body.
Even Shen Qixian, who was wrapped in a quilt, felt a little too hot. He tried to lift the quilt and found that he could not feel the cold feeling before, which made him overjoyed.
For a person who has great power, his body is his greatest constraint.
Many things will be hindered by this.
And now, he seems to have found a way to break free...
Seeing Shen Qixian's excited look, Gong Wenle still maintained his composure, with a smile on his face, bowed and said:
"Sir, you should believe that the medicine I sent is fine now, right?"
Hearing this, Shen Qixian realized that his performance was a bit unsteady, so he immediately sat down again and said in a deep voice:
"It looks pretty good so far."
"As long as you are satisfied, this box of lunch is my gift to you.
If you want to buy it later, I will give you a 20% discount. "
After hearing this, Shen Qixian was basically relieved.
The other party obviously intends to do it long-term, and it doesn't look like a scam.
Gong Wen was pleased to see that the matter was completed, so he took the initiative to resign.
At this time, Shen Qixian said:
"You are a bunch of helpless and weak women. If you sell these things, you will inevitably be coveted and bullied. Don't you plan to find someone to rely on?"
"What do you mean, sir?"
"I have a good friend named Song Cheng. He has made great achievements in the business world in recent years. Your faction can talk to him about cooperation.
When the time comes, I will ensure that you can settle down in Pingzhou and settle down. "
After hearing this, Gong Wenle bowed and thanked:
"How dare you refuse Your Excellency's kindness? We, weak women, are in need of someone to protect us. We are truly lucky to have Your Excellency protect us."
Shen Qixian was not good at this kind of business affairs and didn't want to talk more, so he sent the other party away.
Before leaving, Gong Wenle smiled and said to Shen Qixian:
"Sir, this Five Stone Powder can not only cure diseases, but also provide you with some help. You will like it. Even if you are not sick, you can take it regularly."
After that, he took the two girls and left.
After he left, Shen Qixian felt it and found that there was indeed a little surprise.
Since his wife passed away and he contracted the cold, he has been unresponsive for a long time.
Now, there seems to be a tendency to return to the state of his youth.
He unconsciously looked at the maid next to him and found that his thoughts were becoming uncontrollably obscene.
But after all, he has self-control, and he still misses his deceased wife very much, so he doesn't want to do these things for the time being.
He didn't completely believe the people of the Wuyin Sect. After thinking about it, he asked someone to send two pills of "Five Stone Powder" to several old doctors in the house to let them see if there was anything wrong with it.
Afterwards, I straightened my robes and started to deal with official duties again...
...
"Hey, is he your long-lost biological father? He looks so much like him."
Luyi looked at General Bingsha in front of him, then at Ye Ming, and couldn't help but ask.
As soon as he asked, Ye Ming hit him twice on the head.
The pained Luyi immediately covered his head with one hand and held Caiwei's arm with the other hand, complaining:
"Miss, look at him, he's bullying me again, punish him quickly!"
Caiwei smiled, rubbed Lu Yi's head, and didn't say anything.
Ye Ming said angrily:
“I don’t know who shouted ‘No~~’ before, kneeling in the snow and crying.
If Caiwei hadn't kissed you, you wouldn't have gotten up. "
When he mentioned this, Lu Yi suddenly went crazy again and wanted to come up and bite someone.
But Caiwei stopped her in front of outsiders!
Green Yi also knew how to behave and did not really stalk him, but he still pointed at General Bingsha who looked very similar to Ye Ming unconvinced:
"Then tell me, he is not your father, why does he look so similar to you?"
After saying this, Ye Ming really wanted to give her two more violent shocks.
However, Caiwei was protecting her and had no choice but to endure it.
In fact, it is not surprising that there is a misunderstanding on this matter.
After all, the appearance of General Ye Ming and General Bing Sha are based on that General Ye Ming.
It's just that Ye Ming is what he looked like in his youth, and General Bingsha is what he looked like in his middle age.
It is normal for the two of them to stand together and be mistaken for father and son.
But Ye Ming is not the one who suffers such a loss, so naturally he cannot admit it.
"He was an admirer of mine and he was copying my face."
Ye Ming said without shame.
General Bingsha didn't care about this kind of thing and didn't express any opinion.
Ye Ming said to him again:
"Veteran, let's go to the City God's Office with me to make a name for myself.
From now on, you will also be a member of the Chenghuang Division.
If there is a need to manifest the Holy Spirit, you can just go on my behalf.
It's just right, you don't even need to put on makeup. "
General Bingsha glanced at him and said:
"I have a new understanding of your laziness."
"Hey, what are you talking about? I'm afraid you'll be bored, so I'll help you find something to do.
If people are too idle, they will become useless. "
Seeing that General Bingsha had no clear objection, Ye Ming took him as if he agreed and took him to the Fucheng God Temple.
Caiwei also smiled and said:
"It just so happens that I have a surprise for you, so come with me!"
"Surprise? I like surprises the most!"
