Ximen Caiyun opened his doors early to do business. Now she has her own shop. The houses facing the street were empty, with a few tables and benches, and a small counter against the back wall. And the business got going.

If someone is willing to eat in the store, she will cut the pig's head meat and put it on a plate, then put the tea eggs on the plate, pour a jar of wine, and the customers will eat and drink slowly in the store.

Someone wanted to buy it and take it away, so she cut the pig's head meat, wrapped it in lotus leaves with tea eggs, and tied it up. Let the guests carry them along.

Business has been very good. They have made a lot of money and decided to buy this house, the price has been negotiated, the deposit has been paid, and the rest of the money is still a little short, Fan Li said to lend them and buy the house first. When you make money in the future, you will return it to Fan Li. In fact, Fan Li is given for nothing, where do you want him to pay him back?

Ximen Caiyun is becoming more and more beautiful, and the bigger joy is that Ximen Caiyun is pregnant. Afraid that Ximen Caiyun would be tired, Sima Zhe went back to the countryside to pick up his parents, and the family was in harmony.

Of course, all this is thanks to Fan Li, Sima Zhe is grateful, regards Fan Li as a benefactor, and leads more than a dozen soldiers to serve the king and queen of Haoyue wholeheartedly.

This benign interaction has greatly improved the situation of the Yue Wang couple.

Soon after Ximen Caiyun opened the door, he saw a beautiful young man, surrounded by more than a dozen people, approaching the store. This may be the son-in-law of a doctor, and it's another big business.

Ximen Caiyun greeted him with a smile: "Childe, please take a seat." She brought two tea eggs and a few slices of pig's head meat: "Childe, please taste it, buy it after eating, this is free." ”

The young man said, "Okay, I know how to do business!" He picked up the tea egg and took a bite, exclaiming, "Ah! It's so delicious! He put another slice of pork head meat in his mouth and exclaimed, "This one is even better!" ”

Then he said to those who followed, "Sit down and eat together." Then one said to Ximen Caiyun: "Sixty tea eggs, cut five catties of pig's head meat." ”

It's a big deal. Ximen Caiyun said, "Guests, please be seated." Right away. ”

These dozen or so people ate very gently.

At this time, a red-faced old man came in, followed by a young man, walked directly to the counter, slapped out a piece of gold with a "snap", and whispered, "I want a room behind you to use it for a while." ”

Ximen Caiyun was stunned. There is a seat in the back, but it doesn't take so much money. The man said impatiently, "No change!" ”

The man, under the leadership of Ximen Caiyun's father-in-law, entered the backyard, and the entourage pulled aside a person who was eating tea eggs and muttered a few words, and the man whispered a few words to the beautiful young man.

The young man's face changed slightly, and then he stood up and said, Let's eat first, and someone will look for me later. If I don't call you, don't come. ”

With that, he stood up and went into the backyard.

You may know that this beautiful young man is Mrs. Gou Xuan, Queen Wu, and the red-faced man is Wu Zixu of Xiangguo.

Wu Zixu was in the private seat, and when he saw Mrs. Gou Yu coming in, he quickly knelt on the ground, lowered his head and said, "Minister Wu Zixu greets the queen!" ”

Mrs. Gou Yu's face was slightly red, he couldn't imagine that he would be discovered by Xiangguo when he traveled in micro-clothes. This old man always has a tiger face and likes to teach people. I don't know what he's going to say today. He said, "Lord Sangkoku, please get up, sit down and speak." ”

Wu Zixu got up, hugged his fists and said, "The old minister took the liberty to disturb the queen Yaxing, please forgive the queen." But the old minister had some important things to say to the queen, so he risked his life to speak. ”

Mrs. Gou Yu said, "Xiangguo, what's the matter?" So serious? ”

She has never asked about national politics, and she has blindly endured her misfortune. Actually, she is also an honest girl.

Wu Zixu said: "The old minister wants to ask about the affairs in the queen's boudoir. This matter should not have been asked by the old minister, but it is related to the fortune of the country, so I have to ask, please ask the queen for forgiveness. ”

Mrs. Gou Yu blushed and said: "Lord Xiangguo, according to the rules, foreign ministers don't ask about the affairs of the harem, and the harem does not ask about state affairs. Why did you ask about the court? ”

Wu Zixu knelt down again, tears flowed from his eyes, and said, "The queen forgives her sins!" How can the old minister not understand this rule? But this matter is also related to military affairs, and the old minister dared to offend the queen as a last resort, and asked the queen to allow the old minister to play. ”

Mrs. Gou Yu was soft-hearted, and when she saw Wu Zixu kneeling there crying, she said: "Xiangguo doesn't have to be like this, get up, if there is anything, tell the palace." ”

Wu Zixu stood up. He said, "Queen, keep today's conversation secret, and don't speak to the king." ”

Mrs. Gou Yu was stunned for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay." I promise you. ”

Wu Zixu said: "If the topic is a little private, it is not that the old minister intends to offend, but I have to say, please forgive the queen." ”

Mrs. Gou said, "Okay, promise you." ”

Wu Zixu said: "May I ask the queen, how long has the king not stayed in Zhengyang Palace?" ”

Mrs. Gou Yu felt a fire on her face, and Xiang Guo actually asked about the secret matter of the boudoir! Looking at Wu Zixu again, his face was serious, and there was no frivolity at all.

In fact, Madame Gou couldn't remember how long it had been since King Wu had spent the night with him, she was young and energetic, and she was the age of burning desire. The court life was very luxurious, and it was fine. How many times have I woken up in the middle of the night and touched my side, the cold quilt was empty. In the unbearable torment, tears quietly wet the pillow towel.

But how can you say this kind of thing to this old man? Mrs. Gou Yu blushed and hesitated. Wu Zixu said, "Madam, please answer." ”

Mrs. Gou Yu said: "The king has not come to Zhengyang Palace for a long time. I can't remember how long it has been, but I think it's been more than half a year. ”

Wu Zixu said: "With all due respect, you are the queen, and you are extremely respected, although you can't ask the king to favor you, but you should also take care of your feelings." The old minister is a person who has come over, and he has also been young, and the old minister can understand the queen's feelings and understand your pain. It is clear that the queen has been bullied. Do you know who bullied you? ”

These words suddenly reached Mrs. Gou's heart. Thinking about his pain, tears actually flowed: "Xiangguo, I don't know who bullied me." ”

Wu Zixu said: "Then let me ask you, where do the kings stay?" ”

Mrs. Gou Yu said: "If you want Chaoyang Palace, or Chunyang Palace." ”

Wu Zixu said: "That's Xi Shi and Zheng Dan who bullied you." You are the queen, you were born in a princely family, how can you let the two little girls from the mountains and wilderness bully? ”

Mrs. Gou said, "If the king does not come to my palace, what can I do?" ”

Wu Zixu said: "You are the queen, and you are in charge of the affairs of the harem." The old minister told you that these two girls not only bullied you, but also confused the king. The king has not been in court for a long time, and in the long run, the state affairs will be wasted, and the state of Wu will be in danger. The queen has a great responsibility, not only to save herself, but also to save the king, but also to save the kingdom of Wu. ”

Mrs. Gou said, "What should I do? Xiangguo taught me. ”

Wu Zixu said: "Okay, the old minister came to teach the queen how to do it." ”
