(67) King of Liang
The leader is a young man, wearing a brocade robe with dark silver pine and bamboo patterns, the outside is a gray squirrel skin, a pair of upward phoenix eyes, but he also took a fan in his hand in the winter, and looked around as soon as he entered the room, and saw that there were three people in the room, and frowned unconsciously, but he didn't say much, standing next to the crystal curtain, waiting for the person behind.
The curtain should be the young man's little servant, but the lips are red and the teeth are white, and he is born with a good appearance, but the eyes are faintly blue, but the spirit is good, looking at the age of only twelve or thirteen years old, I saw that he took the trouble to slightly cushion his feet to lift the curtain high, pursed his lips, and looked towards the young man. The young man gave the little man an approving look and stared at the door.
was staring, a pair of hands reached in from outside, only to see that the hands were white and small, the fingers were just like green onions, painted with pink Kodan, and there was a white jade bracelet hanging on the wrist, which made the hands more and more white. The hands came in, but the owner of the hands did not come in, but turned around, and climbed on the crystal curtain opposite the little man, and lifted his hands to one side, and picked up the other side of the crystal curtain.
Only then did I hear someone outside speak: "Master, slow down your steps." ”
The voice was crisp and clever, as if the beads had fallen on the jade plate, and with this voice, a woman walked in.
I saw that the woman was wearing a bright red thousand-pleated ruyi moon skirt, on which was a smoky gray flowing color and dark light of the gold and hundred butterflies wearing a narrow jacket of flower satin, the jacket should be densely woven with layers of fur, from the cuffs and the neckline of the jacket faintly visible out of the fine fluff, the outside of the jacket, covered with a multicolored carved silk stone blue and silver mouse gown, and the outside of the same red emerald brocade feather satin cloak, wearing a magnificent and extravagant end, before the woman's appearance was clearly seen, she was robbed of her eyes by the bright jewels on her body. I saw that she was wearing a red gold plate and a red ring on her chest, and several thumb-sized rubies were inlaid on it, and the gold and red complemented each other, so the inside of Zhen Yi Pavilion was brighter, and she combed a Yaotai bun on her head, but she saw a little delicate, and wore a pair of Chaoyang Qingluan hanging jade hairpins on her hair bun, with a small comb-style rhino horn earrings in her ears, and a bean green palace silk pisces flounder rose jade pendant. I saw that the woman raised her head slightly, walked in from under the curtain, and stood diagonally in front of the young man, and saw that there were other people in the room, and immediately frowned, and looked around to find the shopkeeper.
The woman behind the curtain also walked in with the young man's little girl, she wore a smoke-blue narrow-sleeved shirt, a cigarette-pink silk cotton placket on the outside, and a royal blue moire skirt below, but there was also a little gold jewelry on her head, but compared to the woman before, it was the difference between fluorite and sunlight, and it was clear to others at a glance: such a delicate girl was actually a maid.
The maid walked into the room, and naturally found out why her master frowned and was dissatisfied, and when she walked to the shopkeeper who was standing beside Song Mier with his back to the door, she opened her mouth delicately: "Shopkeeper, please clear the field, my master wants to choose some jewelry, there are some broken silver here, give a cheap." ”
This girl is smiling when she speaks, and looking at it makes people's hearts feel happy, but the words she says are indeed very harsh. Especially for Shen Zhan and Song Mier, two superiors who can walk sideways in the world, they are even more displeased.
As soon as the maid's words fell, Shen Zhan, who was sitting on the chair and playing with the jade pendant on his body, raised his head, and Song Mier, who was holding the ghost work ball, also frowned and tilted his head.
The young man happened to set his eyes on the maid and the shopkeeper, and immediately saw Song Mier's side face, and his eyes lit up at the moment, and he was about to walk towards Song Mier with a folding fan. Before the young man could make a move, the woman on the other side had already walked up to Shen Zhan, holding her head high at Shen Zhan who was sitting, and her tone was a little shy: "Dare to ask this son's surname?" ”
It turned out that when Shen Zhan raised his head, the whole face happened to fall in the eyes of this woman, she had lived in a domain near the northwest since she was a child, and most of the men she saw were rough and foolish. In the past few days, I have come into contact with a few sons, I thought that this is already an excellent boy raised by the son of heaven in the capital, but now I see the son in front of me, I know what it means to be amazing, and the first few sons to contact him compared, it is like the difference between the grass chicken and the phoenix, the hibiscus species and the old pit glass imperial green, the hills and streams and the mountains and the sea. She didn't learn much, and she couldn't think of any sentence to use to describe the boy in front of her, but she was completely taken by this appearance, and as soon as her brain was hot, she rushed to this son and asked for his name.
When the words came out, she regretted that she would be too reckless, so that this son could see if she was not, but she thought about it again, her appearance and identity, which ordinary man saw was not pasted with a blank eye, and today she was a little reckless, but with her own dress, this good look, and then she revealed her identity, can the man in front of her still be able to resist?
Thinking of this, the woman straightened her chest again, put on a posture that she thought was beautiful, and waited for the answer of the boy in front of her with a smug face.
But the head was raised for a long time but there was no movement, the woman looked fixedly, but saw that the son in front of her was still playing with the jade pendant in his hand unhurriedly as if he hadn't heard. The woman was about to say something more shyly, but when she saw the child's clothes, they were dressed in a half-new plain white robe, and her heart, which had just been full of enthusiasm, suddenly seemed to be poured with a basin of cold water, and she had no interest. This is the New Year's Day, today is the Shangyuan Festival, and he only wears a plain white torn robe, and he is not the son of a big family, I'm afraid he is just a scholar who has broken down his household!
The woman was about to leave disappointed, but a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind: Isn't the scholar just right! With this appearance, if he is just a scholar with no identity background, isn't it just right to take him directly to the domain, and there is no trouble, if he knows his identity, then it is not easy to capture?
As soon as she thought of this, the woman's originally cool blood immediately boiled again, and she looked at the man with a high spirit, her eyes turned around again, thinking to herself that she had to find a way to let this man know that he was worth clinging to.
She looked around for a long time, and happened to see the ghost ball in Song Mier's hand, and walked quickly to Song Mier's side, interrupting what the young man who came with her was about to say to Song Mier, pointing at the ghost ball and saying to the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, I want this thing!" With that, he took out a silver ticket worth five hundred taels from his arms, slapped it on the counter with a "snap", and then threw a look at Shen Zhan's side, asking Shen Zhan to take a good look at his magnanimity and wealth. She glanced over, but saw that Shen Zhan had raised his head to look in her direction, and she was even more happy at the moment, feeling that this trick was really effective, and it seemed that this scholar would definitely get it. When the time comes, I will have to play with him in those postures that itch when I look at the fire avoidance map······
The young man next to the woman saw that she took a silver ticket out, and the clothes in front of her were ordinary, and he only gave himself a beautiful woman with a side face, and she seemed to be surprised, so he straightened his back, and smiled gently and gracefully, and said to the woman: "Girl, can you transfer this ghost ball to us, the things here, you can pick whatever you want, girl, count it in the account, and it can be regarded as an apology to the girl." ”
After that, he smiled again, waiting for the answer of the woman in front of him.
Song Mier was very speechless, why couldn't she see what the intentions of the two people in front of her were, they were just wearing a relatively simple dress, and they were not even the clothes of the cloth people, so they were going to be so casually despised and talked without manners?
Song Mier sighed softly in his heart, and turned to face the man and woman who came in behind.
As soon as he turned his face, he heard the man breathe slightly: What's the matter today, I can meet two people with such a good appearance in Zhen Yi Pavilion, and that man is just that, although he is a celestial appearance, he is not feminine enough, and he is not his own good mouthful, and it is obvious that his female companion has taken a fancy to him, and he does not want to go into this troubled water to have a bad relationship with him. But this woman is exactly the appearance of the most perfect wife that he has imagined countless times in his mind, this man looked at Song Mier, and actually derived an impulse: if he can get this woman, he will immediately dismiss the concubine and prostitute in his backyard, marry only this person, and enjoy the pleasure of the boudoir every day!
But the woman who came with this man, who fell in love with Shen Zhan, didn't think so, and looked at the girl who was holding the ghost ball and was not dressed very well, but she didn't expect to have this look! How can anyone in this world be so beautiful than himself! What's more, it's an ordinary woman! She doesn't deserve this look! Don't deserve to take that hell ball!
Thinking of this, the woman's jealousy burned brightly, and she gritted her teeth and looked at Song Mier, the hatred in her eyes almost poked Song Mier out of a hole. Besides, in front of the man he fancied, I am afraid that he had already seen that there was a girl with such a look here, so he stayed here! That's it! The appearance can be ruined in the future, and now it is to compare this slut in other places!
She stretched out her slender jade and pointed at the ghost ball in Song Mier's hand, and her tone was gentle but arrogant and harsh: "This girl, do you know that this ghost ball is a rare treasure, not a treasure that ordinary people can afford, so you can put it down gently, so as not to accidentally bump it when you get it, but you can't cry." After that, he smiled again, and his beautiful eyes flowed, "Our brother Xu has already said, if you like anything else, he will pay for you, this ghost ball, let us people who can enjoy it!" ”
Thinking that more is better than less, Song Mier originally planned to talk to the two people in front of him, and whoever bids high will win this ghost ball, but he didn't expect that this pair of men and women would even want to grab what they already have in hand. In Song Mier's concept, there is no such thing as giving up to others what he likes. So when his face sank, his tone was cold: "This girl, I can't understand what you say, where can you see that we can't afford it?" ”
"We?"
The man and woman didn't hear each other clearly, but they caught the word. In the midst of doubt, I saw the handsome man sitting on the side standing up slowly, pacing to the woman's side, standing beside her, his voice was low and magnetic, and his tone was gentle: "Madam, don't worry about being angry with others, hurting your body, we will pay for this ghost ball and take it away first." With that, he had to take out the money from his sleeve pocket to pay for it and leave.
The couple who came in later realized that these two people were actually together! At that moment, I felt in my heart that the faces of these two people should be together. Immediately another meal: What am I thinking?! These two are already married? How does this work?!
A man who wants this fairy, a woman who wants this fairy, seeing that the two of them toasted and didn't eat, they hit it off at the moment, and showed the punishment wine quite tacitly:
"Dogs look down on people! Do you know who I am? ”
"This son, don't talk so much, and aren't you afraid of offending people?"
Want to put on an identity to oppress people?
Shen Zhan's expression moved, put it in his sleeve and was about to take out the sleeve pocket, and said quietly: "Oh? I don't know who the two are? ”
As soon as Shen Zhan said this, Song Mi'er immediately understood, and immediately smiled lightly, and said softly: "The little girl would like to hear about it." ”
The man was fascinated by Song Mier's laughter, and now forgot that his father warned himself that the new emperor must not behave nonsense in the first year or two of his ascension to the throne, he has been holding back for a year, and he finally saw a person who looks like a fairy, but he still tasted personnel early, and he is afraid that it will be more elegant to play, where can he take care of anything else? Immediately waved his hand, beckoned his little guy with clear eyebrows, beautiful lips and white teeth, picked up the little guy's chin with the tip of the fan, made a chic and graceful gesture, and spit at the little guy but slanted at Song Mier, "Come, you come to tell this little lady, who am my little master?" ”
The woman raised her chin at her maid, and the delicate maid came over as well.
The little guy was made red by his own son-in-law, and the red glow on his face flew away, which made the little guy's originally delicate face more coquettish, and he only answered his son-in-law's question with shyness, but he didn't notice that the pair of fairy men and women opposite had a flash of disgust in their eyes.
The little girl and the maid are probably "battle-hardened" people, and they are used to their own masters using their identities to oppress others, and they can't talk about their master's identity.
I saw the little guy looking at Song Mier, and his tone was quite proud: "This lady probably doesn't know that the suave young master in front of you, surnamed Xu Mingchen, is the son of the Xu family and the only concubine of Lord Xu." ”
"Oh, I don't know ······ this Lord Xu?"
Shen Zhan's voice was faint, but Song Mier knew that he was already angry, and I was afraid that this Lord Xu was going to be unlucky.
"Hah!" This little guy saw that he said that it was Lord Xu, but the two people in front of him still didn't react, thinking that either they were not people from the capital, or they were those small families who lived behind closed doors and never cared about the direction of the wind in the capital, and they were even more contemptuous in their hearts at the moment: It's a pity that this good appearance, his tone was even more arrogant and unkind, and he learned his master's demeanor ten out of ten: "This Lord Xu is the most powerful official around today, and Xu Nanjiang, the secretary of the ministry, is also!" Do you know the authority of the minister's book? This son is going to participate in the scientific examination? Even if you win the champion and want to be a weighty official, if you don't have Lord Xu's nod, you can only eat in the Hanlin Academy and wait for death for the rest of your life! After the little guy finished speaking, he said, "How about it, are you scared?" He looked at Shen Zhan and Song Mier, and his eyes were full of arrogance and pride.
"Oh, I see." Shen Zhan's tone was still very indifferent, listening to the ears of the boy and the woman, but this person didn't know what to do and was a dull person, so the woman's maid also opened her mouth, and there was a little contempt in her tone.
When this son heard the name of this adult, he was also indifferent, and he must not be very enthusiastic about his career. In fact, if the son comes to our Liang Wangfu to be a staff member, but with my young lady's love for the son, he must be able to rise step by step and get the attention of my prince. ”
As soon as these words came out, Song Mier knew that the father of these two people was afraid that he had made an extremely profound mark in Shen Zhan's heart. It's just a matter of bullying men and women, is there still less domineering in this capital? The key is, how did King Liang, who entered Beijing during the Chinese New Year, get mixed with the official department who was in charge of the promotion and debasement of officials?
If it is an ordinary person, he may only see that this adult Xu's son is clever and can play with King Liang's daughter.
If you are smarter, you will think again, but this King Liang is ready to marry his daughter Xu to Lord Xu's son, one of these two is obsessed with male sex, and the other is obsessed with beauty, but it is also a match made in heaven.
And Shen Zhan and Song Mier, who are not only smart, but also people in the center of political power, have long stretched their thoughts far away, and they have not shown it on their faces, but they have already set off turbulent waves in their hearts: King Liang's daughter and the son of the official Shangshu are mixed in a bunch and do the ugly act of bullying men and women together without scruples, which can only prove that King Liang has a close relationship with this Xu Nanfeng, and I am afraid that they have been hooked up early. A vassal king who has lived in the domain for a long time and can only enter Beijing after being called during the New Year and festivals, now comes to this capital, and does not interact with his own people in the palace, but he goes to find the book of the ministry, the book of this official department, and the relationship between these vassal kings and the eight poles of these vassal kings, why do you have nothing to do to attach to this king of Liang? Besides, there is no relationship between Xu Nanfeng and this King of Liang, a representative of a civil and official group, and a leader of the clan, why are these two people implicated?
Xu Nanfeng's son-in-law Xu Chen and King Liang's daughter-in-law Shen Yao probably never dreamed that the things that their father tried to hide in every possible way were shaken out by themselves because of their addiction to beauty, and this tremor was directly shaken in front of the supreme ruler.
When Xu Nanfeng was alive in the first emperor, he sat in the position of the secretary of the ministry early, and reigned for more than ten years, and when Shen Zhan ascended the throne, although he did not fully support Shen Zhan before Shen Zhan ascended the throne, he was also loyal to the court and the emperor, although it did not help Shen Zhan to ascend the throne, but it did not play any counterrole, therefore, after Shen Zhan registered, looking at this year of confusion, he was diligent and diligent in his own work, and looked at the loyal and honest elders of the two dynasties, and he also attached great importance to it. But he never took the initiative to stand on the sidelines, and the issuance of several decrees was the role that hindered others from obstructing, besides, the position of the official secretary was the key to the appointment and dismissal of officials in the imperial court, so Shen Zhan did not think about moving this Xu Nanfeng for the time being, but today he did not think about it but found another side of him Xu Xu is unknown, although even if Xu Nanfeng and King Liang are friendly, it can't really prove anything, but in fact, the court is still quite scruples about the dealings between the vassal king and the court officials, and the two have no kinship connection. The son and daughter of the two who had already grown up played in one place like this, but they had to attract Shen Zhan's attention.
And speaking of Shen Zhen, the king of Liang, he was originally the elder brother of the first emperor and Shen Zhan's own uncle. When the first emperor did not ascend the throne, the father of the first emperor never set up a prince, so the first emperor and several of his brothers fought very fiercely for that position, and finally died, wounded, and disabled, and only the first emperor and his elder brother Liang Wang Shen Shao and younger brother An Wang Shen Zhu, An Wang Shen Zhu since childhood and the first emperor Shen Fu befriended, has been helping his brother Shen Fu to compete for the throne, has been pulling hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses to stand behind Shen Fu, who was still the prince at the time, for Shen Fu to look at the horse, And Shen Zhen, who was also the prince at the time, saw that the shape was wrong, and he was no longer able to return to the sky, so he took the initiative to show weakness and arched Shen Fu to the throne with Shen Zhu.
After the first emperor Shen Fu succeeded to the throne, in order to express his gratitude and appease his brother, he immediately named Shen as the king of An, divided the southeast into a domain, and took charge of 400,000 troops for himself, and although Shen Zhen took the initiative to give up the fight for the throne, the first emperor hated that Shen Zhen indirectly killed his own sister for the throne, and was forced to seal Shen Shao as the king of Liang, but the remote and barren northwest was divided into his domain, and because the king of Liang still had an army of 600,000 in his hands, it was the last life talisman of the king of Liang. The first emperor refused to hand over the king of Liang no matter how he knocked on the side, and the first emperor was afraid that the situation would be turbulent when he had just ascended the throne, so he had to endure his anger and let King Liang have one more responsibility, and together with Yuan Peilin, the general who protected the country, to guard the northwest border pass.
Then the first emperor died, Shen Zhan ascended the throne, the relationship between King Liang and the court is more delicate, this time into Beijing, King Liang brought his daughter and the eldest son, but the daughter because of the water and soil on the way, after arriving in the capital fell ill, so the palace Laba dinner and then the clan gathering did not participate, now the body is just better, and read that the Spring Festival will be over as soon as the road back to the house, thinking that he came to the capital and lay on the couch for a few days, in addition to greeting the children brought by the officials who came to their father's New Year's greetings, I didn't play anything, and I didn't enjoy it, so I ate, drank and had fun with Xu Chen, who I am now very familiar with, and today was the first time I was walking around the capital. It's also strange that King Liang is busy, he didn't tell his daughter well, don't be as willful as in the northwest, it just so happened that Shen Yao called Xu Chen, who was already a second-rate son who was not stingy, but it was so coincidental that the first person he fell in love with in the capital was actually a cousin who was not on the right path with his father, which could be regarded as unlucky.
At this time, Shen Yao and Xu Chen didn't know what the identities of the pair of men and women in front of them were, they just waited for themselves to show their identity background, and then scared the pair of jade people in front of them to soften into a puddle of water.
But he didn't want Shen Zhan to listen to the words of the two, his mind was no longer on the matter at hand, he just wanted to call Bo Yin immediately, and let the secret guard investigate the collusion between King Liang and Xu Nanfeng.
