Chapter 2: The Life Xi Shi Wants (1)
"Yiguang, Yiguang, wake up!"
A woman in a green palace costume can vigorously shake the woman in a pink suit who fainted to the ground. Han Ruo was shaken dizzy, and she reluctantly opened her eyes and saw a beautiful woman looking at her anxiously, her eyes full of concern. After thinking about it for a while, she knew that she had crossed into Xi Shi of the Yue Kingdom in the late Spring and Autumn Period, and the one in front of her was Zheng Dan, a beautiful woman known as "Huansha Shuangshu" with her.
"Sister, what's wrong with me?" Han Ruo only felt weak and wanted to stand up, but he could only lean on Zheng Dan's arm. Zheng Dan hurriedly helped her up with the maid and explained, "You just came back from meeting Keqing just now, and you suddenly fainted. Fan Gongzi invited Lang Zhong to come, saying that it might be that the water and soil are unwell, you have a heart disease, your body is weak, and you are far away from your hometown, you miss your parents, and you faint at home and abroad. You can rest for a long time! Fan Gongzi, the person outside, has already sent him away, and he has personally taken medicine for you. After boiling the medicine, just drink a few payments. You don't have to worry too much. We have Fan Gongzi to take care of us in Kyoto, so there will be nothing wrong. ”
When Han Ruo heard it, she thought about it carefully, Xi Shi and Zheng Dan had indeed come to Kyoto with Fan Li, and knew that there was no turning back, so she could only go on according to the life that Fan Li had planned for her, so she sighed. Zheng Dan saw that she looked sad, but when she was still uncomfortable, he comforted her a few more words, let her rest in the room, and left.
Han Ruo thought that Fan Li would come in a while, and he didn't want to see him, so he instructed his subordinates to tell him that he had rested after Fan Li came, and let his subordinates leave the medicine.
After Han Ruo sent everyone out, he took a smooth carved bronze mirror from the makeup mirror box, and the self in the mirror was white and snowy, with picturesque eyebrows, clouds and foggy sideburns, and a beautiful appearance. suddenly became a big beauty, and Han Ruo was really a little unaccustomed.
She moved the bronze mirror to the side of her face, and saw a red rouge mole under her right earlobe, and her heart calmed down. The qiē she had experienced before was like a dream, and when she saw this mole, she could be sure that this qiē was real.
Lying on the bed, looking at the red silk tent embroidered with golden silk peony above his head, Han Ruo fell into deep thought.
According to the memory in his mind, Xi Shi was born in the ramie village of Zhuji, Yueguo, with his father cutting wood and selling salaries, and his mother weaving ragon yarn for a living. The parents have a harmonious relationship, and only Xi Shi, a child, is naturally spoiled like a pearl in the palm of his hand. However, the family was poor and had to eat and wear, and Xi Shi did not have so much arrogance. The children of the poor are in charge of the family at an early age. Xi Shi knew that his parents were hard, and after he was six years old, he told his parents that he could not be a useless person in the family, and began to follow his mother Huansha.
Zheng Dan is two years old and is a sister with her. Zheng Dan has a gorgeous face since he was a child, and he has few beautiful and outstanding girl friends, because the people around him are easy to be lined with green leaves. When I saw Xi Shi for the first time, I saw that she was such a little jade snow and a lovely person stretched out her little arms like lotus roots to scoop water, and she was worried that she would fall into the Huansha Creek, so she gave her her piece of Huansha Stone. The gauze stone is not high or low, the stone surface is just flush with the water surface, the surface is smooth and flat, and the yarn is very convenient. After going back and forth like this, the two gradually became good sisters. In addition, both of them are beautiful and talented, far better than ordinary people, friends are scarce, and they have a sense of sympathy, and their feelings are becoming more and more harmonious. When the two grew up, they were rumored to be "Huansha Shuangshu" by the countryside.
When Xi Shi was twelve years old, when he and Zheng Dan were working by the stream, they met Fan Li, who was traveling around. At that time, he was crowned with a broad belt, standing in the wind in a jade belt robe, suddenly like a fairy. The two little girls who had never seen the world fell in love when they saw it.
At that time, Goujian, the king of Yue, had been defeated by Wu Wangfu and put back to the Yue country, and was sending Fan Li to look for beauties to dedicate to the king of Wu, on the one hand, to please and paralyze the king of Wu, on the other hand, if these beauties can be favored by the king of Wu, they can also pass the news for the Yue country, and in turn help the Yue country influence the king of Wu and help the king of Yue to avenge.
Xi Shi and Zheng Dan are beautiful and have their own characteristics, Xi Shi has a cold personality and a dusty temperament, such as flying immortals outside the sky, and is not stained with turbidity in the world. Zheng Dan is like the most gorgeous peony, so beautiful that people can't turn their eyes when they look at it. When Fan Li saw the sisters for the first time, her eyes lit up, and her heart really helped me, so she designed to bring them to the capital.
According to the information about their past lives left in the consciousness of the West Lake Fairy Xi Shi, Fan Li spread their good names before they entered Beijing, so that when they entered Beijing, they attracted pedestrians to watch, resulting in traffic jams and difficulty in moving an inch. After bringing them to Kyoto, they bought a gorgeous attic on the most prosperous and lively West Street, decorated it luxuriously, and then posted everywhere: Those who want to see the most beautiful woman in Yue will pay 1 penny, only for three days. The time and place are indicated at the end of the list.
As soon as the notice was posted, it caused a sensation. Xi Shi and Zheng Dan climbed the Zhu Tower, standing by the railing, fluttering like a fairy descending to earth. Viewers lined up in a long line, in order to see the beauty of the two sisters, generously donated, some even paid as much as two or three times, really never tired of watching. In three days, Fan Li received a lot of money. After entering Beijing, he was selfless in order to show his public service and handed over all the money to the state treasury.
I have to say that Fan Li is really a genius in business. In the Spring and Autumn Period, when the folk customs were so simple, they could come up with such a trick! Not much money, even the peddlers and pawns could afford it. The gimmick of "the most beautiful woman" in Yue is enough to attract anyone to watch. Everyone passed ten, ten, hundred, hundred, and only three days to watch the beauty, the situation of thousands of empty alleys is obvious. Fan Li also made a lot of money in the short term with this idea, but making money came second, and after the reputation of Xi Shi and Zheng Dan went out, Wu Guo's spies would naturally spread the news to the ears of Fucha. Gou Jian sent the two beauties again, and when the husband was happy, he would naturally be more at ease with Gou Jian. You see that others have sent you the best beauties in the country, and they didn't hide their secrets, isn't this a deference to you?
This is the last of those three days. Zheng Dan refers to the fact that Xi Shi and Zheng Dan were watched in the attic.
Xi Shi and Zheng Dan had a deep affection for Fan Li, and were persuaded by Fan Li's incorruptible tongue, moved by his deep understanding of righteousness, and were willing to go to Wu to serve as a spy for Yue.
However, Fan Li seems to be a beautiful son on the surface, affectionate and righteous, but in fact, he just uses them. Otherwise, how could they be allowed to do such a showy thing?
Although women nowadays have a relatively high status, and they do not pay attention to three obedience and four virtues and stay at home as in later generations, there is no reason to deliberately let people pay for it on the street. If Xi Shi and Zheng Dan don't go to Wu and marry in Yue, this matter will be extremely detrimental to their reputation. What's more, Zheng Dan's death ......
Han Ruo suddenly felt a burst of heartache, this was the remorse and pain left in Xi Shi's heart, her eyes condensed, and she bit her lip fiercely.
Zheng Dan and Xi Shi are sisters, because they are slightly older than Xi Shi, they usually take care of her, and Xi Shi has always regarded Zheng Dan as his relatives. Even if the two fall in love with the same person, they don't have a relationship. Even because he didn't want Xi Shi to be sad, Zheng Dan gradually restrained his feelings, and promoted Xi Shi and Fan Li many times, so that the friendship between them deepened day by day.
This relationship has become a sharp weapon for Fan Li to control zhì Xi Shi, and he promised to take Xi Shi to sail on the West Lake after the revenge of the country is avenged, not asking about the world, holding his hand.
Later, in the palace of Wu Guo, King Wu treated Xi Shi and Zheng Dan sincerely, and was very pampered and sincere. The girl's heart is easily moved, and she is always embarrassed to live up to the person who is really good to herself, and after a long time, the two of them feel guilty when they see King Wu, and they are naturally embarrassed to spy on more news.
Zheng Dan was shallow in his previous affection for Fan Li, and in this case, he slowly moved his sincerity to the heroic and wise King Wu. How could Gou Jian and Fan Li allow this to happen? They designed to kill her and blame King Wu, so that Xi Shi thought that King Wu was just treating his sisters as playthings. With the intention of avenging Zheng Dan and the promise to his lover, Xi Shi was desperate to become the most hidden spy in Yue and the most influential to King Wu.
Xi Shi fell into the clutches of Gou Jian, couldn't get rid of it, and finally died tragically, unable to die well. The so-called Fan Li and Xi Shi resigned from seclusion and boated on the West Lake is just the beautiful imagination of the common people.
The original owner Xi Shi's wish is to be able to get rid of the control of Gou Jian and Fan Li, no longer become someone else's pawn, love each other with his husband who loves him deeply, and live his life happily. In addition, it is necessary to prevent Zheng Dan from being used to death, so that his good sister can also have a better life.
Now Xi Shi and Zheng Dan have been brought to Kyoto Huiji, and they are famous under Fan Li's design. After a few days, they would meet the king Goujian with other famous beauties, and finally they were designated as the most beautiful women in the Yue Kingdom, underwent a year of rigorous training, and finally sent to the state of Wu to be dedicated to their husbands.
Han Ruo came not too early or late, the matter has not developed to the end, there is still something to be done, but Xi Shi and Zheng Dan have been accused of being in the hands of Fan Li, and they can't escape, so they can only cooperate with his plan for the time being.
After fusing Xi Shi's divine sense, Han Ruo closed his eyes slightly, thinking that now he only needs to rest for a few days according to Fan Li's original arrangement and wait for the face king. But he must not be allowed to discover that he is no longer the same. Otherwise, with his ruthlessness, he and Zheng Dan will not be able to save their lives. Only by making him feel that he is extremely adored and infatuated with him, and is willing to do anything for him, even if he goes to the soup and fire, can he be safe. After that, for more than a year, I had to continue to fall in love with him and complain to each other. It's really meaty to think about.
Anyway, if you come, you will be safe, and Gou Jian Fan Li, the pair of jackals, fight, see me turn over the world with my own hands, control my own life, and live a life of chic and happy!
Thinking about this section, Han Ruo and his clothes lie down, cultivate his spirit, and turn it over without mentioning it.
Early in the morning three days later, Zheng Dan happily ran to Xi Shi's room, "Sister, sister, I just went out and met Fan Gongzi, and he said that he had important news to tell us!"
Before the sound fell, Xi Shi, that is, Han Ruo, caught a glimpse of a person behind Zheng Dan walking slowly, with a white robe and a rich and handsome demeanor.
