Chapter 262: Mi Zizhong
Liu Bei smiled and said:
"Zizhong don't panic, not to mention that he has been preparing for ten years, he has tasted scars, and he is not a man who has no power to restrain the chicken, just saying that Taozhou treats me sincerely, Tao Gongzi's status is noble, and my Liu Bei's sword is also bearable. As for the sword that fought back later, it was not caused by resentment in his heart, but in order to prevent Tao Gongzi from making people criticize. β
"Xuande Gong Gao Yi!" Mi Zhu sat up and bowed, and then said with some worry: "But in this way, everyone in the world regards Gongzu Gong's Xuzhou as unjust, and the strong soldiers of Xuande Gong may also be resentful." β
"At least Liu Bei, have a clear conscience."
Mi Zhu took a sip of tea gently, and the rising heat filled his eyes, as if he had put an unfathomable veil on Liu Bei on the opposite seat.
"Maybe that's the master?" Mi Zhu inexplicably had such an idea in his heart.
Xuzhou is rich and vast, and it is a place where soldiers must fight, and if it is in troubled times, it will be deeply trapped in swordsmen. However, now, Yu Neizhou Mu Tao Qian is old, the family is opposed, the pottery merchant is incompetent, Tao Ying is young, surrounded by strong enemies outside, Cao Jun is eyeing the tiger, and the slightest carelessness is the destruction of the situation.
The person in front of him has the name of benevolence and virtue, and the posture of the hero, and he is far away from Tao Qian, if he can welcome him into Xuzhou...... But this is not a gentleman's doing.
With a sigh to drive away the fog, Mi Zhu drank the tea, and felt that this good green tea had a little more complicated taste.
Mi Zhu was drinking tea on one side, and Liu Bei on the other side took out the jade pendant from the placket.
"Zizhong, this thingβ"
"This! Xuande Gong! Mi Zhu's eyes lit up suddenly, and then he suddenly remembered that the second brother Mi Fang hastily mentioned a sentence to himself after welcoming Liu Bei into the mansion, "I don't know where you got this jade pendant?" β
Liu Bei couldn't help but be curious when he saw his performance, and guessed that the preciousness of this jade pendant was extraordinary, so he retold Mi Zhu about the ins and outs of seeing Mi Zhen.
In this way, in this way, Liu Bei concisely restated it, and after talking about the peddler throwing the jade pendant to himself, Mi Zhu, who was concentrating on the side, moved.
"In this way, God destined Xuande Gong to have a relationship with my Mi family."
"Oh?" Liu Bei Yile, "How is it destined by God?" β
"Xuande Gong doesn't know, this jade pendant is not an extraordinary thing, it is left by an immortal!"
"Immortals?" Liu Bei's eyes opened slightly, but he didn't think so, he couldn't help but think of the Yellow Turban Sect that called the wind and rain and pretended to be a ghost, and it was rumored that no matter how advanced the mana of that horn was, it was not inevitable that he would be defeated.
"Yes, Immortals." Mi Zhu didn't know what Liu Bei was thinking, but opened his mouth to talk about an incident a long time ago......
About ten years ago, when Mi Zhu was about 20 years old, he once went to Luoyang to do business. On the way home, dozens of miles away, there was a beautiful woman standing there waiting on the side of the road where her carriage and horses passed.
Seeing Mi Zhu stop, the beautiful woman stepped forward and asked him for a ride. Mi Zhu saw that the sun was scorching, so he asked the woman to get into the car, and in order to take care of the woman's reputation, he chose to get off the car and ride a horse.
The two walked together for more than 20 miles, and the beautiful woman stopped the carriage and horse to thank her and say goodbye, and said to Mi Zhu before leaving: "I am the messenger of the Emperor of Heaven, and I am ordered to go to the East China Sea to burn the Mi family. Because I thank you for letting me ride this time, I would like to inform you about it. β
Mi Zhu was shocked when she heard this, and saw that the woman's face was gradually blurred and more beautiful, and even her clothes became flying streamers, so she quickly pleaded with her in private.
This beautiful woman, who is the envoy of the Emperor of Heaven, also seems to be unbearable, and hesitates for a moment and says: "The order of the Emperor of Heaven must be obeyed, and the Mi family of the East China Sea cannot be burned." But since it's Childe's house, you can go back as soon as possible, and I'll go slowly. By noon, Childe's house would definitely catch fire. β
So, Mi Zhu Sazi drove home in a hurry, and when she got home, she instructed men, women, and children to move out their belongings.
Just when the last batch of belongings was placed in the open space outside the house, the noon sunlight shone directly down, and it shone on the window edge of the west courtyard of the Mi family, and the fire burned violently all of a sudden.
"Fortunately, with the guidance of that immortal, my Mi family was saved from this catastrophe." Mi Zhu's mood is still a little turbulent, "It's strange to say, since this fire, my Mi family rebuilt the mansion on the original site, and after the mansion was completed until today, the family's old and young have increased their official positions and fortunes, which is also a strange thing." β
Thinking of the happy place, Mi Zhu smiled and shook his head, "At that time, the fire was extinguished, and I settled everyone a little, and then hurried towards the way we came. At that time, in broad daylight, the official road was empty, and only one thing was left on the street. β
"Is this the jade pendant?" Liu Bei was stunned.
"Exactly." Mi Zhu nodded, "Since then, this jade pendant has become the most precious treasure of my Mi family." β
"And how does it end up on the streets?"
"This jade pendant is not very exquisite, but because it is very protected on weekdays, it attracted Zhen'er's attention early. When my little sister was fifteen years old, she said that she wanted to borrow this jade pendant to wear, and I thought that since it was a fairy thing, it should be beneficial to Zhen'er, so I gave it to her. β
Liu Bei waited for a while, and when he saw that Mi Zhu was no longer speechless, he took the initiative to ask: "Did Sister Ling lose this thing?" β
"Exactly," Mi Zhu said again, "Zhen'er's temperament has been much more restrained since this incident, and my Mi family has spent a lot of money to search the whole city, and painted portraits to help find it, but it has never been successful.
Even in the end, my Mi family has said that the person who holds the jade pendant can make the Mi family go all out to fulfill a wish, and even the status of my Mi family is not inferior to the head of the family, this condition has caused a sensation in the entire Xuzhou City, but the jade pendant is still like a stone sinking into the sea. β
"Is it worth it?"
"Money, but nothing outside of the body."
Liu Bei knew in his heart, and from this incident, he saw Mi Zhuzhi as a person, and he really had the style of a gentleman.
For the so-called immortals, they can't bear to discard even the ordinary jade pendant, and they are willing to pay a great price for it. And his sister lost the jade pendant that he regarded as a treasure, but he did not blame it, focusing his energy on the things that needed to be solved, confident in humility and coexistence, with a chic bearing of "the daughter is scattered and returned".
Liu Bei admitted that he already had a very good impression of Mi Zhu at the moment. I also understand why the potter is reluctant to return the jade pendant, and Mi Fang has so much respect for herself who got the jade pendant.
What's more, with the power of the Mi family, it is not too easy to seize an object from a hawker, but Mi Zhen was still able to maintain peace and negotiation at that time, which is the embodiment of family style and family education, which is really not easy.
While thinking about it, I only heard Mi Zhu suddenly say: "Mi Zhu has no great talent, but it is difficult for the Mi family's savings to sit and watch Xuzhou have a competitive generation." The promise made before still works today, so Zhu is here to ask Xuan Degongββ"
Mi Zhu paused, "Is there a big thing that needs the help of the Mi family?" β
