Chapter Thirty-Six: Knowing It
Yin Shisan thought about the plan for him, and it was really very ingenious.
It's just that Gou Jian and Fan Li don't dare to ask for it, so will King Wu dare to ask for it himself?
Yin 13 wrote three words on his husband's hand: What about you?
Fucha smiled and replied to him unhurriedly: Only a strong country deserves to have a beauty, and no one dares to fight for me. When Shih Tzu comes, I will give her to you.
Yin 13 was stunned and didn't immediately show an excited reaction, but after reacting, he hurriedly saluted his husband and thanked him.
On the other side, Xi Shi Hao Fan Li has been getting better and better since he released his previous suspicions. Seeing that Xi Shi was about to get married, the two discussed and prepared to ask the king for marriage.
But before Fan Li went to the king of Yue to ask for marriage, there was a rumor in the royal city that "those who get Xi Shi win the world", and the country described by Xi Shi as a natural fragrance, peerless, and unparalleled in the world, and it didn't take long for it to spread to the palace, and it was also spreading to the surrounding countries at a very fast speed.
Xi Shi quickly understood that this rumor was intended to prevent her and Fan Li's marriage, but it was difficult to determine who was behind it. In this way, the two discussed that they wanted to suppress the matter and go to the king again. Fortunately, Xi Shi is also very considerate of Fan Li.
The speed of the rumors was very fast, and soon it reached the ears of King Yue, and after thinking for a long time, King Yue sent someone to summon Fan Li into the palace.
As soon as Fan Li entered the door, Gou Jian politely gave him a seat, but Fan Li didn't do it, and still waited beside him.
Gou Jian smiled gently and said: "The widow remembers that Miss Xi Shi is about to be in time, and Aiqing and her are also in love, but you can set a suitable date?" ”
Fan Li humbly returned: "Back to the king, Shi Er originally planned to wait until next year after the Yue girls finished their practice, and then send Zheng Dan girl to Wu Guo to marry Yu Weichen." However, Weichen thought that it would not be in the way to marry Shi'er home as soon as possible, and it would still be possible to fulfill their sisterhood, and it would also be possible to fulfill the good relationship between me and her as soon as possible. ”
Gou Jian stretched out his hand and put it next to the stove to warm his hands, and then said with a smile: "Yes." In fact, when the widow knew that you were in love, he wanted to marry you, but unfortunately Miss Xi Shi was still young last year, and she became a big girl after only a year. ”
Fan Li smiled and was about to reply, but the eunuch Lin Temple next to Gou Jian also smiled and responded to Gou Jian: "Miss Xi Shi is indeed a good person, the old slave saw it from a distance a few days ago, but it is really slim and slim, like a fairy descending to earth!" No wonder the market boasts so much about the Shih Tzu girl. ”
Fan Li's heart tightened, and he understood the deep meaning of King Yue calling him over.
Gou Jian listened to the words of the Lin Temple people and asked curiously, "Oh? Has Miss Shih Tzu's beauty spread outside the palace? ”
The people of Lin Temple hurriedly returned: "Yes, and I heard that there have been a lot of rumors recently, what kind of beauty of the Xi Shi girl can make the fish in the pond timid, fall to the bottom of the river; What Shih Tzu girl is seven points soft and three points sick, which makes people see pity; What else do you say, 'Those who get Xi Shi win the world'......"
The people of Lin Temple suddenly stopped halfway through their words, as if they had said something sinful, and slapped their mouths, kneeling on the ground and saying something like "the king atons for his sins" and "the slave has many mouths".
Fan Li quietly watched the interpretation of the people of Lin Temple in his heart, but asked with some curiosity: "Speaking of Shi'er, why did the people of Lin Temple say this?" And what is the sin? ”
Gou Jian also asked curiously: "Yes, what's the matter with you?" ”
The people of Lin Temple replied tremblingly: "Back to the king, there are rumors in the market, saying that 'those who win Xi Shi win the world', the old slave just said how popular the Xi Shi girl is in the market, and he didn't control his mouth for a while, and said these pickled words. I forgot for a moment that Miss Xi Shi was going to marry General Fan, how could she ......"
Fan Li already knew what they were going to sell, so he knelt down decently, bowed to Gou Jian again and again, and then looked at Gou Jian with sincere eyes and said, "King, Weichen has no such intention!" ”
Gou Jian smiled and waved his hand widely, and was about to stand up and help him.
Fan Li immediately fell to the ground again, and said: "The king, Weichen and Miss Xi Shi are in love, and they are also willing to saddle the horse and horse for the king." If the king is willing to give the Xi Shi girl to Wei Chen, Wei Chen is willing to relinquish all his powers, live with Xi Shi in the village landscape, and live this life freely! ”
Gou Jian stood and listened to his words, then leaned down and pulled Fan Li up, and then said earnestly: "How can a widow be a person who is unkind and unrighteous, how can he ruin Aiqing's good relationship because of this gossip?" ”
Fan Li bowed down again and begged: "Ask the king to be fulfilled." ”
Gou Jian put his hands behind his back and said, "Lovely Qing is like the right arm of a widow, and a widow can't give up his arm." That's it, rumors are just rumors, let him go, the widow won't embarrass Aiqing because of these. Your marriage with Xi Shi will be arranged as usual, and if necessary, tell the widow. ”
As soon as Gou Jian finished speaking, the people of Lin Temple hurriedly knelt down, pulled the corner of Gou Jian's clothes, and said, "The king is benevolent, let the old slave talk a lot." The king doesn't want to embarrass General Fan, but the mouths of the people are like surging rivers, and people know that they are deep in love with the monarch and ministers, but most people are afraid that they will only chew the root of their tongues and put you and General Fan in an embarrassing situation......"
Gou Jian shook off the hands of the people of Lin Temple and said sharply: "They chew the root of their tongues, and the widow is worthy of his heart, and he can't help but understand Fan Aiqing's eagerness to ask for a wife." Lin Temple people, you are now more and more arrogant, and you will be fined for three months, but you must remember the lesson. ”
Only then did the people of Lin Temple kneel in place and stop making a sound.
Fan Li had already expected this in his heart, but he still showed a grateful tone and said, "King, King Xie is compassionate. Weichen can accompany the king from birth to death, and he is really grateful for the king's kindness. In this life, since he has no chance with Xi Shi, he also asks the king to be kind to Xi Shi. ”
Gou Jian patted Fan Li's shoulder with a pleased smile and said, "It's hard to think that Aiqing is willing to stay for the widow." But Aiqing rest assured, even if this rumor is true, the widow will not snatch your sweetheart. Besides, this rumor came so suddenly, and it reached my ears so quickly, and it must soon reach the ears of Wu Guo. At that time, I'm afraid that except for him, no one will dare to ask for Miss Shih Tzu. ”
Fan Li sighed and said sadly: "Shi'er is so sincere with me, I, I can only ...... Disappointed by her ......"
Gou Jian patted Fan Li's shoulder again, beckoned him to sit down, and then walked back to his position and sat down.
Fan Li waited for him to sit down before slowly sitting down.
Gou Jian returned to his daily state, and said in a caring tone: "Aiqing just said that Miss Xi Shi treats you sincerely, in fact, the widow thinks that if she is really sincere, she must not be inconsiderate of Aiqing." Aiqing is a rare general good talent, with his own mind and ambitions, if it is because of a woman who covets the happiness of the world, will he not regret it when he is old? ”
Fan Li smiled helplessly and said: "Where did Weichen get any ambition, but he didn't want to live up to the king, and he didn't want to live up to the beauty." ”
Gou Jian also smiled and said, "Presumably, if Miss Xi Shi knew that Aiqing was willing to give up all her authority for her today, she would definitely be very moved." Like the widow's wife, Yayu, even if the widow has fallen into such a field, he is still willing to follow me as a slave in that Wu land. Therefore, the widow treats the harem as nothing, and the beauty who is one in a thousand is also secretly executed, only putting the lady in his heart, and giving the best to Yayu. Presumably, Miss Xi Shi will also be willing to go to Wu Country for you and help you achieve your dreams, and Aiqing will also pick up Xi Shi when she is victorious and compensate her well. ”
Fan Li heard the hint in Gou Jian's words, but was stimulated by Yue Wang's unintentional "I", as well as his admiration and showing off to his wife.
But fortunately, he quickly came back to his senses and said, "Weichen will explain to Shi'er well, I hope she can understand." ”
Gou Jian stretched his brows, smiled deeper, and said, "Don't worry, the widow will help Aiqing." If you are difficult to persuade, another day, the widow and his wife will hold a family banquet with you, which can be regarded as a promise to Xi Shi and you. After the matter is completed, you will be asked to marry Xi Shi with the gift of the princess. ”
Fan Li kowtowed to thank him, and after a few words of greeting with King Yue, he retired.
After Fan Li left, Gou Jian stretched out his hand to the stove to warm up, and when he saw that the flame was weak, he muttered: "It's burned out so quickly." ”
The people of the Lin Temple, who were kneeling underground, immediately stepped forward to add carbon to warm up the house.
Gou Jian said to the people of Lin Temple with relief: "After so many years, you are still caring. ”
The people of Lin Temple knelt beside him obediently and said, "The old slave has no skills, and he will only worry about these words and trivial matters for the king." ”
Gou Jian smiled and said, "It's okay to have no skills, it's good to be smart." ”
The people of Lin Temple should be harmonious: "The old slave is not as smart as General Fan. ”
"Oh?" Gou Jian looked at the fire and asked as if unintentionally.
Lin Si said: "General Fan knew the king's deep meaning, but he still said those words, first, he knew that the king would not let him go; second, he knew that if Xi Shi heard that he was willing to give up everything for himself, he would definitely not leave him; The third is also the smartest point of General Fan, his thoughts and those of the king coincide, but this idea cannot be said by himself, so his dialogue with you is really meaningful. ”
Gou Jian raised a smile and said casually: "Today is a conversation that knows each other, but they all want to achieve their goals decently." You know, I know, why bother to say it. ”
The people of Lin Temple patted their mouths lightly, and said with a smile: "The old slave is too talkative, and when he sees something, he wants to show off in front of the king, but he doesn't know that what can really be seen by the old slave is something that has no intention of concealing it." ”
Gou Jian smiled and patted the face of the Lin Temple man, then tapped him with his hand, and said, "So, when the world reaches your point, it is enough." It's hard to be confused, you don't have to be too fine. ”
The people of the forest temple obediently called "yes".
Gou Jian thought about it for a while, and instructed the people of Lin Temple: "Lao Lin, you go to the queen and prepare for a family banquet in a few days, presumably we have to help Fan Li talk about it." ”
The people of Lin Temple immediately returned seriously: "Yes." The old slave understood. ”
With that, the people of Lin Temple retreated.
The fire burned more and more, and the fiery red fireworks were reflected in Gou Jian's eyes, as if his eyes were burning with fire, showing endless desire.
