Chapter 229
It turned out that although the Red Lady rescued Li Yan from prison that day, Li Yan was a little bookish and a little brainless, thinking that he was bent on becoming the king, but he ended up in such a field, and his loyalty was recognized by the king as a collaborator with the enemy.
So he was disheartened, and secretly touched the dagger on the red lady's waist, and after breaking her away, he actually pulled out the dagger and stabbed it at his heart.
Fortunately, since the red lady received Cai Wei's message, she kept her reminder in mind and paid great attention to Li Yan's every move. Although he was pushed away, he had just walked a few steps, and heard the sound of the dagger coming out of the sheath, and hurriedly looked back, and at the last moment, he had to smash the water bladder in his hand, and smashed the dagger in his hand by an inch, and finally avoided the heart vein, stabbed under the ribs, and the wound was not deep.
But Li Yan didn't know if it was because of this injury or because he was depressed, he fell seriously ill, and he had a high fever and was unconscious.
"Sister Princess, thank you for sending us a letter, and remind us to beware of Gao Zicheng's suspicion, and will be dissatisfied with Li Yan because the defenders of Shandong suddenly beat us. It's really thanks to you, if it weren't for the last sentence you mentioned, saying that Mr. Li was thoughtful and a little bookish, I was afraid that if he was really wronged by Gao Zicheng, he would be disheartened and die Mingzhi, I really didn't expect him to be so stupid, I tried my best to save him from Gao Zicheng's knife, and he still wanted to kill himself? This indisputable thing, really, really angry old lady! ”
Cai Wei was about to persuade her a few words, but the red lady suddenly patted her thigh and said: "Oh, look at my memory, princess sister, in addition to thanking you, I have one more important thing to tell you quickly." ”
"The dog official surnamed Shi, he is not a thing, in order to tie up with your prince's husband, he actually sent two charming goblins to your husband's house, and the people have already carried them to the front yard, but I am afraid that they will be sent to the backyard after a while. Hmph, the men in this world are all like the new and hate the old, eat the big carrot with a heart, if you are afraid of the princess's dignity and it is inconvenient to come forward, I will beat those two goblins away for you, and it can be regarded as repaying you for saving my family's life. ”
Cai Wei saw that she was gearing up, and even pulled out the whip, so she hurriedly persuaded her: "Thank you sister for helping me when the road is uneven, but His Royal Highness will take care of these things by himself, and he doesn't bother me, and my sister doesn't have to worry about me." ”
Where is the red lady willing to believe, "I said princess sister, don't think too well of your man, if this man can believe it, the sow will go up the tree!" All the men in this world are like the gluttonous cats, how can they not steal? Besides, I glanced at those two little goblins a few times just now, don't say it, they are indeed strangely handsome, I heard that they are still the list eyes and tanhua in Qin Huai Bayan! ”
So Cai Wei knew who these two daughters were, and she was about to speak, when she saw a close attendant beside Qin Fei walk in and say to her: "Princess, Shi Shangshu sent two beauties to His Royal Highness, and His Royal Highness has placed those two beauties in the guest rooms of the outer courtyard, and ordered them to be treated as courtesy, and the special one came to report to the princess." ”
The red lady waited for the waiter to leave, stomped her feet and said, "Look, what am I talking about, this man is not reliable!" You're still here to speak for him, he's settled down in front of him! ”
Cai Wei was still smiling and smiling, without the slightest hint of worry, "Since my sister said this, it can be seen that Mr. Li Yan is also unreliable as a man, why does my sister not even want to give up her life for him?" ”
The red lady smacked her lips, and it took a long time before she said: "He, he is actually quite trustworthy, just a nerd!" If you can't learn from anyone, you have to learn from that willow, called Liu Blind, no matter how beautiful a woman comes to him, he can see you as a wooden man. The man next to him has too many lust hearts, but he is good, but he has no lust at all. ”
"You can trust your Mr. Li, and I can trust my Royal Highness, he must have done this for his sake, before he explains it to me, why should I bother myself."
Sure enough, when it was time for lunch, Qin Fei told her what her plan was to keep the two daughters.
"That Liu Rushi and Li Xiangjun are the most outstanding characters in Qin Huai Bayan, one was accepted as a female disciple by Qian Muzhai, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and the other was just combed by Hou Chaozong, the son of the Hubu Shangshu, and the two of them are like glue and knee."
Cai Wei heard the meaning of his words, frowned, and said: "It seems that Shi Daolin specially sent her two to you, not only to make you indulge in beauty, but also to let you offend the Donglin Party in Jiangnan and hinder you." ”
It turned out that most of the officials and scholars in the Jiangnan area came from Donglin Academy, so naturally they had many contacts with each other, and the relationship was close, and they gradually became a faction. These people not only hold official positions, but their family members and friends often run all kinds of land and property shops, and they can not only influence the current situation in Jiangnan, but also control most of the economic lifeline in Jiangnan, and their power should not be underestimated.
"Not only Qian Muzhai and Hou Shangshu are both members of the Donglin Party, but also Cui Xiang in the court, and the old fox has long been wearing a pair of pants with the Donglin Party. He strongly agreed with the advice of the Donglin Party members, and lowered the salt tax, tea tax, silk tax, and shipping tax and other commercial taxes again and again, and even reduced them to three thousandths, so that eighty percent of the imperial court's taxes and silver could only rely on the collection of land taxes. It is that all kinds of natural disasters continue, and the grain harvest is not harvested year after year, and they are unwilling to pay more commercial taxes so that the imperial court can take care of the peasants in the north to collect some field taxes, and as a result, the people of the north can't even eat, and there are a bunch of harsh taxes to pay, so it's no wonder that there is no uprising! But let the Tartars take advantage of the weakness and pick up a bargain! ”
"I'm afraid that this is probably An Chengxu's idea to Shi Daolin, and he wants to use these two beauties to provoke the relationship between you and the Donglin party on Cui Xiang's side, it is best to make you on the same page, so that Empress Sun and his party can reap the benefits of the fisherman."
Qin Fei sneered: "What beauty does he think? Do you really think that this king is a brainless sandpiper mussel? This beauty trick can be used on other men or work, it can be used on me, it is useless! ”
Cai Wei deliberately disagreed: "It is said that there are no men in this world who are not lustful, is it because those two beauties are not rich and beautiful enough, and their bodies are graceful?" ”
"The two of them are also rare beauties, they can be described as thin and fat, and they are good at winning. It's just that no matter how beautiful they are, they are not as beautiful as you. Although this king is lustful, I am better for you! ”
Who doesn't like to listen to sweet words, Cai Wei sandwiched a piece of his favorite braised pork into his bowl, "Then why does His Highness want to keep them?" ”
"Naturally, when the moon is old, Shi Daolin wants me to be infamous for winning people's love, then the king will give him a pearl to return the king, to see who will buy people's hearts more?"
So the two beauties were sent to the mansion of the king of Linchuan for less than three days, and the king of Linchuan was escorted by the media, and they sat in a sedan chair respectively, one married to the Qian Shilang's family and became the stepwife, and the other was carried into the Hou Mansion to become the concubine of the prince.
The red lady was very relieved that the two goblins were carried out of the mansion, but Cai Wei was quite regretful, and she couldn't keep the two of them in the mansion for a few more days before sending them to get married.
Although she was raised in a deep boudoir, because of the legends she had read, she often mentioned the women in the Goolan Yard, such as the Red Whisk Girl, Du Shi Niang, Zhao Paner, etc., and her various amorous chivalrous deeds all made her curious, but she also knew that in a place like Goolan Courtyard, she could not set foot in this life.
I didn't want someone to send these two famous women to her house, Qin Fei threw these two beauties into the guest room and didn't care anymore, but she went to visit them out of curiosity, but in the next two days, she spent most of her time in the guest room with Liu and Li Ernu, and even ate lunch with them, which made Qin Fei very dissatisfied and jealous, so she married them off early.
Sending away the two oiran ladies who were competing with him, Qin Fei saw Cai Wei's sullen look, and couldn't help but say depressedly: "This Qin Huai Bayan didn't hook my man's eyes, why did he hook away your woman's soul!" You like those two Qinglou women so much? ”
"So what? I had never seen a woman like them before, although they were in the Qinglou, and as lowly people, they were despised by many ladies, and they felt that they were extremely lowly. But I think sometimes they live more freely than the ladies. ”
Qin Fei was interested, "Oh? How do you say that? ”
"In addition to the boring women's books such as the fourth female book, everyone is not allowed to read the books next to them, and they are not even allowed to read poetry and songs, but the two ladies of Naliu and Li are not only good at poetry and writing, but also versatile. And you can choose the person you like by yourself. ”
"Like that Li Niangzi, there was a General Tian who took a fancy to her before, but she didn't like her, so she would rather die than be combed by him, until she met Hou Gongzi. Compared with the daughters of good families who only know how to obey their parents' orders, they dare to love and hate, and they can live freely and chicly! ”
"I just don't know what they will do in the future when they get what they want this time and marry the lover in their hearts?"
Qin Fei was jealous in his heart, and took her over, "It's that they won't have a good time in the future, how do you stay, is it possible that you still want to take them back?" I sue you, since you marry me, not only are you not allowed to think about other men, but you also don't think much about the women next to you, you can only think of me alone, thinking of me alone, and no one except me is allowed to put them in your heart. ”
Cai Weiying's lips opened slightly, and she threw out a sentence lightly, "What about my father?" Don't you even want my father to miss him? ”
