Chapter 242: Gan Mei and Mi Zhen
Although the situation of heavy agriculture and suppression of business in the late Han Dynasty has changed, many warlords can make friends with some wealthy businessmen for their own development, such as Tao Qian worshiped Mi Zhu as a farewell driver, Liu Bei's start also relied on the help of two big businessmen Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping, there are many examples like this, but on the whole, the status of businessmen is still relatively low, Mi Zhu is a wealthy businessman in Xuzhou, but it is still flattered to be greeted by someone like Pei Qing in person.
The reason why Pei Qing personally greeted him, of course, was not only to move Mi Zhu, this was mainly because Pei Qing really rare Mi Zhu such talents, his command is very lacking in this kind of business talents, and now Mi Zhu comes to vote, which is really equivalent to someone sending steamed buns when hungry, and sending pillows when sleepy, and this is an indispensable character for the development of business in the future.
Of course, Pei Qing also said a few words of greeting to Tao Qian, but Tao Qian's face was full of shame, and he didn't want to stay for a long time, and even the banquet held by Pei Qing to welcome them found a reason to prevaricate.
At this time, Mi Shi, the younger sister Mi who came to greet Mi Zhu together, saw Gan Shi in the crowd, and was immediately surprised, and asked Mi Zhu: "Brother, who is this little lady?" Is it your new concubine? ”
Mi Zhu was embarrassed when she heard this: "My sister said that she laughed, for her brother's age, what kind of concubine do you accept?" This is Tao Gong's niece, Miss Gan. ”
When Mi Shi heard this, he immediately smiled and said: "I have long heard that Tao Gong has a niece, who looks like a flower and jade, and is gentle and virtuous. ”
Gan Shi hurriedly said humbly: "My name is Gan Mei, I am eighteen years old this year, I have long heard that Mr. Mi has a younger sister, although she is a woman, but she is good at running a family, and her business talent is not weaker than that of her brother. ”
"It turns out that you are still a year older than me, so I will call you sister in the future, I don't know what my sister's plans are in the future?" Mi Zhen hurriedly took Ganmei's hand and asked very affectionately.
Gan Mei smiled bitterly, shook her head and said, "I'm already a wanderer in troubled times now, what else can I plan?" One step at a time. ”
Mi Zhen heard this but said: "Sister, my sister has an idea, I don't know if it will work out?" I heard that female officials are being recruited in the princess's mansion now, although these female officials are only responsible for maintaining the daily operation of the princess's mansion, but this is something to do for us, it is much better than being at a loss and having no future, right? ”
Because Liu Ning's princess is the eldest princess of Kaifu, this is equivalent to those princes and kings who have actual power at the beginning of the founding of the Han Dynasty, and the power is particularly great, although Liu Ning handed over the army of Kaiyang State to Pei Qing for unified management, because she was in Chang'an, she just recommended a Kaiyang State Minister to manage the state affairs on her behalf, so what she really has to do is only food, clothing, rent and tax, Kaiyang State Minister and the general State Minister are not much different in status, but there is one difference, one is regardless of the military, and the other is that she must be responsible for the princess's mansion, Liu Ning will regularly and irregularly send some officials to supervise and evaluate the administration of officials there, so as to ensure that the people there can live a relatively stable life and will not be exploited by corrupt officials.
And these officials are generally appointed by Liu Ning herself, and in order to avoid someone holding the place for a long time and blinding their own hearing and hearing, the term of office of some of Liu Ning's subordinate officials is generally not too long, and there is even one, Liu Ning trusts women even more, she has heard the story of Ban Jieyu and Ban Ji and others before, since she got acquainted with strange women like Cai Zhaoji, Liu Ning believes even more that there are talented people among women, and after the incident of Dong Bai and Yuqi, Liu Ning understands a little more, as long as there is Pei Qing's elixir, In fact, it doesn't matter if you don't have the ability, as a woman, the first thing is naturally good character, as long as the character is good, as long as there is Pei Qing's elixir, the cultivation of ability is not a matter of words?
Although Liu Ning didn't know how many immortal pills Pei Qing still had? I don't know how Pei Qing's immortal medicine came from, let alone the specific operation of "taking" that kind of immortal medicine, but I believe that Pei Qing must still have that kind of immortal medicine in his hands.
In fact, Liu Ning is Pei Qing's pillow person after all, if she really secretly learns Pei Qing's method of giving people immortal medicine, she may not be able to learn, and even if she wants to ask for it positively, Pei Qing will not agree at first, but Liu Ning did not do it, on the one hand, everyone has their own secrets, although he is his wife, he can't disrespect the other party's secrets, and on the other hand, although Liu Ning is the eldest princess in power, she also does not forget her identity as a wife, and she will never go beyond it, even such a thing as recruiting talents to restrain the prime minister is carried out with the support of Pei Qing, and she will give her husband the greatest respect whenever she wants.
After listening to Mi Zhen's words, Gan Mei's expression suddenly moved, and then she shook her head and said, "What virtue do I have? How dare you pretend to be a female official in the princess's mansion? My sister is a decisive person, so it's more suitable, but I'll forget it......"
"Hehe, that's not necessarily, my sister's talent sister has heard of it, both excellent in appearance, both talent and appearance, virtuous and virtuous, in short, you have all the excellent qualities of a good wife and mother, I believe that the eldest princess will like you when she sees you, maybe she will be entrusted with her heart in the future, no, you can't say maybe, but you should say that it will, okay, it's decided, two days later is the day when the princess's mansion openly selects female officials, and then we will go together, see you and disperse."
Mi Zhen pulled Gan Mei and chattered a lot of words, the two of them hit it off at first sight, and quickly established a friendship, but they didn't know that their friendship was actually destined, but with Pei Qing coming to this era, the trajectory of their fate has also quietly changed, in the original fate, they will meet a man named Liu Bei a year or two later, and become the man's wife and concubine, and then suffer from displacement, often abandoned or captured after defeat, perennial frightened, thrillingIn the end, Mrs. Gan died of illness when Liu Bei was in Jingzhou, and Mrs. Mi didn't even have any news, she was unknown, and she didn't even know when she died, let alone why she died.
Only in the romance, the image of Mrs. Mi was deeply portrayed, the Battle of Changbanpo, Mrs. Mi refused to ride Zhao Yun's war horse in order to avoid involving Zhao Yun, and later committed suicide by throwing herself into a well in order to avoid being humiliated.
But they didn't know that since Mi Zhen made this decision, they had no chance with Liu Bei in this life, but this was not a bad thing for them at all, because they lived a very happy and comfortable life in this life......
