163 Prepare the soup ding

Soochow attacked twice, both times it was a fierce posture of not being able to win and not retreat. The eldest lady is also tough and uncompromising.

Xu Shu thought more than once that if this kind of temperament grew on a boy, with a long robe and wide sleeves, wherever he pointed his fingers, there would be wolf smoke everywhere, and war would break out. How majestic. However, she has always been just a girl, a girl who has just turned ten years old.

Just don't think about it. He took back the thoughts that floated out: he had already made a decision, tied the future to her, and accompanied her no matter what result she wanted, anyway, he would not vote for Cao Cao, nor could he vote for Liu Bei, let alone vote for Dongwu. The world is so big, except for the corner of Changsha, there is no other choice.

The master and apprentice thought of going together, and Kou Yan was very satisfied with Wang Tao's radical expression. I was really right, this person is the most suitable diplomat. After this matter is over, the teacher comes back and transfers Ma Jian over, and Ma Jing can withdraw and go behind the scenes with peace of mind.

Time passes day by day, Kou Yan has not been in a hurry, but Zhang Wen is in a hurry, not for anything else, this is almost the New Year, it's okay for a day or two, at least he can celebrate the New Year on the ship, Changsha is too shou for ten days and half a month, isn't he going to spend the New Year in Changsha?

The most important thing is that the front line is fighting a war! The money and grain spent every day is hundreds of millions, and the national treasury is not abundant, and Chaisang, which is an important base in the rear, is under siege, and logistics are tight. He can't afford it!

The apparent composure broke in front of Kou Yan's true patience, Zhang Wen took the initiative to find Ma Jing in the mansion and asked Taishou when he would be free to see him, Ma Jing replied that the adult was busy with the important matter of opening a warehouse to help the people, and he lacked skills.

Zhang Wen thought that he had heard the Arabian Nights, if there was a war in the front, the rear should be in wartime mode, Changsha's foundation was weak, and it was already too unexpected not to double down on the people, what is the situation now? This Taishou actually opened a position to help the people? Is she crazy or stupid?

Perhaps, Shi this Ma Jing simply found a reason to prevaricate herself: "Ma Zhi, you said that Changsha Taishou is busy opening a warehouse to help the people? ”

"Eh, this, this ......" Ma Jing didn't expect Zhang Wen to be so persistent, and suddenly the kraft candy rose. It's just that Kou Yanfen has instructed that if you can drag it out, you can drag it out, and if you can't drag it out, just bring him to see him directly. It's about the same right now, right?

After thinking about it silently, he really felt that the time had come, Ma Jing pretended to understand Zhang Wen's difficulties very well: "The old man understands Lord Zhang's feelings, since Lord Zhang has this request, the old man should introduce you to him, Lord Taishou is in the mansion, you can come with me." ”

Zhang Wen didn't expect it to be so smooth, and was suddenly overjoyed: "See you today?" "To see it or not, it is up to Lord Taishou to decide." Ma Jing's words faded Zhang Wen's passion by eight feet: "Okay, I'm tired of introduction." ”

The two boarded the car, all the way to the Taishou Mansion, the people on the street came and went, each with a happy face, seeing the car passing by and standing to the side, leading their necks to look at each other.

The carriages of the two men were kneeling and uncovered. The people could recognize at a glance that the people in the car were Ma Cheng and envoys from Eastern Wu. What Zhang Wen didn't expect was that as soon as the people saw him, the anger came up, and they didn't smile at all.

Some aunts and aunts even hummed and chirped, grabbed the green leafy vegetables in the basket and raised their hands to throw them, Zhang Wen was frightened, raised his hand to cover his face with wide sleeves, and fortunately, the guards who maintained order on the side hurriedly stopped it.

But instead of suppressing the anger of the masses, the suppression has only intensified. Ma Jing in front saw that the situation was not right, and ordered the coachman to speed up the horse and get through guò quickly. Zhang Wen had never been out of the realm of Dongwu in his life, and he had never seen such a battle, and he was embarrassed and embarrassed in his heart.

Since the Wu people's greed for Changsha led to Kou Yan's assumption of office, Changsha has faced war twice a year, and the people's hatred for the Wu people has reached its highest point. In the final analysis, as long as the people can live with enough food and clothing, and they can live comfortably, who is trying to give them a good life, and who is trying to destroy their good life, their eyes are clear.

Besides, Changsha is Chu, and Dongwu is Wu, and the folk customs are different, but the taste of drinking the same river water is completely different. Many factors are mixed together, and Changsha and Soochow are now two completely opposite systems. It's not that there is disharmony from above, it's that there is no harmony at the bottom.

Zhang Wen evaded the "pursuit" of the eldest girl and the little daughter-in-law very wolfly, and arrived at the door of the Taishou Mansion. Naturally, the guards did not dare to slack off, and asked them to stop for inspection while going in to report. Who knew that in just such a short period of time, the aunts who were chasing and intercepting on the street chased after them. In front of the Taishou Mansion, everyone knew that they had to be restrained, so they stood far away one by one, staring silently, with a posture of wanting to kill Zhang Wen with their eyes.

Rao is Zhang Wen is already a handful of years old, that is, the patriarch of a famous family in Jiangdong, in the face of the anger of the aunt from the grassroots level, he still can't parry, and he breaks out in a cold sweat. How do you want him to explain to this group of housewives to be calm and restrained, and take care of the overall situation?

Fortunately, the soldier who rushed in to report the news quickly rushed out again: "Lord Taishou has an order, please Jiangdong to pass on the message after entering the mansion!" Although it is not said that you will see you immediately, but "passing after entering the mansion" is much better than "passing after entering the door", poor Zhang Wen now doesn't care about people belittling his identity, just to get rid of the eyes of the group of people behind him as soon as possible.

In the study of Taishou Mansion, Kou Yan was sitting, still dressed at home, dressed in indigo curly clothes, combing the virgin hair of ordinary people, and had no intention of changing into men's clothes at all. To be honest, it was too hasty to use this ready-made outfit to meet guests and conduct armistice negotiations that were crucial to the war and the well-being of the people of Changsha. But Kou Yan just didn't move and continued to read.

What she held in her hand was an excerpt from Xu Shu's hand-copied Analects. The teacher was not around, and at first, she felt that she was not confident enough to do anything, and she always wanted to ask the teacher before making a decision. However, after the passage of time, fighting local tyrants and squires has eliminated spies, and everything along the way has strengthened her self-confidence. Now she doesn't need to hide anything with clothes and dresses in front of her subordinates, the whole world knows that she is a girl, what else is she pretending?

I heard that the scene of the people "welcoming Jiangdong" envoys was being staged on the street outside, she was in a good mood, and as soon as she was in a good mood, she thought about adding a little more block to Zhang Wen. Then he ordered the guards to bring him in, and let him wait for him. Although the winter in Changsha is not as low as in the north, the cold in the south also has its unique and difficult places.

So, Zhang Wen's good days came to an end.
