Chapter 33: Hu Zhen
I then picked up the teacup in front of me and continued to listen to the conversation at the next table.
But the conversation that followed had no special content and significance, it was nothing more than Marshal Du, how heroic His Highness the Ninth was, and how Hu Man was not able to measure himself this time. The whole content is full of blind worship of the Ming Dynasty and contempt for Hu Zhenguo.
I listened and shook my head slightly.
"Childe doesn't seem to agree with the next table?" The person on the other side spoke.
I smiled and replied, "Don't take the enemy lightly." In fact, the new king of Hu Zhenguo ascended the throne, and I heard that he was young and promising, and he advocated Sinology. originally thought that after he ascended the throne, there should be no southern invasion in the short term, but this time he directly declared war, which should be something happened in the country. And it should have other schemes. We are also used to calling people "Hu Man", but in fact, the official name of the country is "Hu Zhenguo", and Zao Si is not a barbarian. Although others bow down to us, we should still have basic respect for others. If we still look at new problems with old eyes, we will definitely suffer. ”
He frowned, maybe some of the language barriers were a little bit, but it was normal. What's more, I didn't tell him in the first place.
But in an instant, he showed admiration again, and said: "The opinion is very special and very appropriate. Originally, it was not easy for ordinary people to have such an opinion, not to mention that the girl was a daughter, which was even more rare. ”
"No, it's not that obvious, is it?" I screamed in my heart and looked up at him, and that's when I really noticed him. At this time, the corners of his mouth smiled, a pair of Danfeng eyes were slightly slanted upward, there was a trace of less obvious cunning in his eyes, the contours of his face were slightly darker than ordinary people, and his skin was tanned. He was dressed in white satin clothes, which didn't look special, but I could see that his clothes were all precious materials, with embroidered hidden lines under the white. The same is true of the clothing for the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Thinking that this person is either rich or expensive, in my current situation, it is best to deal less with it, not to mention that he said that I am a woman, which shows that his insight is not ordinary.
Seeing that my eyes were puzzled, he smiled evilly and said: "The main thing is that the girl is too beautiful, the pretending to be a man is too beautiful, and the voice is not as rough as that of ordinary men, so I dared to guess, but I didn't expect to be right." ”
It turned out to be a guess! I felt a little furious in my heart, and asked unwillingly, "Are you praising me?" So if I'm not a woman, aren't you afraid that I'll turn my face and get angry on the spot? Or do you have to care about other people's reactions? ”
He grinned, revealing a very scoundrel expression: "The girl is kind-hearted and easy-going, just because of my apology, she won't blame me for sitting down directly, even if she is really offended, she is sure that she can make the girl angry." ”
I couldn't cry or laugh, and I didn't want to entangle with him anymore, so I pulled Rulan up and said goodbye and wanted to leave.
He said softly: "I see that the girl was very concerned about the situation in Ancheng just now, could it be that there are any relatives and friends there?" is not talented in the next generation, but often travels back and forth between the Ming Dynasty and Hu Zhenguo to do business, and has a better understanding of Hu Zhenguo's situation. ”
This man is thoughtful, and I am a little afraid of him from the bottom of my heart. But when he said this, it poked me straight to the bottom of my heart, making me unconsciously stop and sit back again.
He saw me sitting back, smiled slightly, and said, "The girl actually guessed well, although Hu Zhenguo's lord Wan Yanyue is young, he has great ambitions. He has always advocated learning Han culture first and living in peace with the Ming, because Hu Zhenguo did not have the conditions for foreign invasion at this stage. In other words, it was impossible to occupy it for a long time after foreign invasion, so Hu Zhenguo had to trade with the Han people, and even intermarry. But it's a pity that his uncle Wan Yan Bing is an old stubborn and main battle faction. At present, the DPRK and China are divided into two factions, most of the main battle factions are more senior military generals, who support Wan Yan Bing, and most of the newly elected ministers support the new lord. Originally, the two factions were unable to hold each other, but some time ago, the lord of the country suddenly suffered from a bad illness and did not go to the court for a long time, so he was controlled by Wan Yan Bing. This incident was actually led by Wan Yan Bing, because he had military power, but Wan Yan Yue was not long on the throne, and the two sides were lower than the lord of the country. Therefore, all the actions against the Ming Dynasty this time, the lord of the country did not participate, and they all had the meaning of finishing Yan Bing. ”
I raised my eyebrows at him and said, "Then you mean that Wan Yan Yue does not approve of this war?" ”
He was stunned, then nodded and said, "I don't agree." ”
I looked up into his eyes and said, "I wonder how Gongzi knows about Hu Zhen's internal court affairs so clearly?" ”
He looked back at me, his eyes were as calm as water: "This matter is well known to everyone in Hu Zhenguo, it is not a secret matter in the inner court, and he has been doing business in Hu Zhenguo all the year round, so it is not unusual to know this." It's just that if the girl wants to ask me about this strategy, I don't know anything about it. ”
I couldn't fully relieve the doubts in my heart, so I had to smile and say: "I just look at my son's young age, but he seems to have been in business for several years, and sighs that he is young and promising." ”
With that, he got up again and said goodbye. He hurriedly stood up, clasped his fists and said: "In Xia Mengxizhi, I want to ask the girl's name, I have a premonition in Xia, we will definitely meet again." Wouldn't it be funny if you still be called a girl and a son when you say goodbye? ”
I nodded with a smile and said, "Meng Gongzi's words are true, but I don't believe in any ghosts and gods have premonitions. Since Childe has a hunch that he will see him again, the little woman will tell her name when she says goodbye. Meng Gongzi took his leave. ”
After saying that, he turned around and left the teahouse with Rulan quickly. I didn't say goodbye because I really didn't want to say goodbye.
Back at the inn, I asked Rulan to pack her luggage immediately and prepare to leave, I wanted to go to Anseong, I wanted to ...... Meet the third brother. Rulan began to be busy and packed up her things. By the time we had hired the carriage and were ready to set off, it was almost mid-afternoon. And the sky began to sigh and sigh again. Rulan knew that I would be very uncomfortable in this kind of weather, so I proposed to leave tomorrow, but I always thought about the war on the border, as if I couldn't stay for a moment, although reluctantly, I still insisted on going my own way.
Rulan couldn't resist me, so she had to pour two soup women and bring them, and put the carriage very soft before setting off, basically it was almost dusk. He instructed the coachman to hurry up the official road overnight, hoping to get to a large town in front of him to rest at dusk to-morrow. It may be that this period of time has made me quite confident in walking at night, and I have not even worried about the problems I may encounter on the road. Much later, I was still afraid of the willfulness of the time.
But what should happen will happen, even if you want to hide, you can't escape it, people call it fate.
It's like, as fate should have it, and it should have met him.
