Chapter 121: Gathering the Merchants
In the morning, Jia Fu got up, looked out the window and stretched out, he slept really well last night. opened the door and was about to wash, but Liu Sheng was not there in the courtyard.
After shaking his head and washing up, he put his ears in front of Liu Sheng's bedroom door like a thief. After Jia Fu confirmed that it was correct, he muttered: "Brother Sheng'er's feng shui takes turns, you let Jun'er play tricks on me, and now I will go to take revenge."
The door was secretly pushed open, and Jia Fu tiptoed in and saw Liu Sheng sleeping soundly. Stretched out his hand to lift his quilt, but he didn't expect that the sky was not beautiful, and Liu Sheng just opened his sleepy eyes.
"Ah, blessed you today, you got up so early." Liu Sheng saw Jia Fu tiptoeing and asked in surprise.
Seeing that the treacherous plan could not succeed, Jia Fu looked unhappy. I was not angry, and pointed out the window: "At this time, it is already three poles in the sun, what is it early."
"Let me lie down, I slept too late yesterday". Liu Sheng looked at the sunlight outside the window, and only felt that his eyelids were heavy. A hint of sleepiness struck again.
Jia Fu hurriedly shook his head, not allowing Liu Sheng to fall asleep: "You entered the palace last night and came back late?"
"No, it's just that halfway through, I met Yelujing. I talked to him for a while." Liu Sheng yawned, dazed, and chatted with Jia Fu.
Jia Fu looked at Liu Sheng suspiciously, remembering the scene when he met Yelujing in the restaurant that day: "Yelujing? How did he go. When he returned to the embassy, did he continue, but was embarrassed by the guards of the Liao State".
"After Li Miao returned from us, he took action on the same day and separated Yelujing from those guards." A trace of sleepiness lingered for a long time, but Liu Sheng couldn't sleep, and looked at Jia Fu angrily.
When Jia Fu heard this, he was suddenly very interested: "I didn't expect Li Miao, this fox, to be interesting enough, and to shoot quickly."
"Poor Yelujing, trapped by love, miserable." If you want to sleep and can't sleep, just sit up. Liu Sheng yawned, recalling the scene late yesterday night, and sighed in his heart.
Jia Fu suddenly became excited, and looked like a gossip: "Trapped in love? It's miserable".
"His beloved has been engaged to the prince of Liao ......". Then Liu Sheng told Jia Fu everything that happened late last night.
After listening to this, Jia Fu sighed non-stop, looked at Liu Sheng and asked: "Brother Sheng, why is there such a big difference between you saying the same prince."
"It's the same as Jerejing said, because of discrimination. The Han people were inferior people in the Liao State and were naturally looked down upon by the Khitans. Although he is a prince, he can't change it, and half of his blood belongs to the Han people." Liu Sheng recalled the dreams that Ye Lujing said last night, and there was a trace of admiration in his heart. Suddenly, I thought of the calligraphy and painting left to him by the meditation monk, the green lotus. Maybe only he Yelujing is worthy of the lotus flower that comes out of the mud and is not stained.
Jia Fu couldn't help but repeat the sentence that Liu Sheng said just now: "May I grow old with my beloved in this life." Eliminate the Khitan and discrimination against the Han people in the Liao State. Let the two become, without separating each other as a whole. Brother Sheng, how do I feel. Yelujing's dream is silly and cute."
"Silly? Ahh But how do I feel, Yelujing's dream. That is, it is incomparably real, but incomparably great." Liu Sheng thought in his heart that the Liao State was a multi-ethnic state, and it recognized the legitimacy of slaves. Under such circumstances, it is very difficult to eliminate the discrimination against the Han people in the Khitan.
Jia Fu was stunned, incomparably great. The first time I heard it, Liu Sheng had such a high opinion of a person: "Brother Sheng, I feel that you have a high opinion of him."
"Growing up in such an environment, and not forgetting his sincerity, you say that Yelujing is not admirable." Liu Sheng looked at Jia Fu and explained, if it is an ordinary person. I'm afraid that the character has long been distorted.
After hearing this, Jia Fu nodded, looked at Liu Sheng and remembered a question: "Is it time for Brother Sheng to get up, no matter what Yelujing is, he can only realize his dream if he ascends to the supreme position of the Liao Kingdom."
"Okay, okay, I'll get up. Don't forget, the Chamber of Commerce." Liu Sheng saw Jia Fu urging him to get up, and shook his head helplessly. This is really feng shui in turn, and today the two of them are upside down.
Liu Sheng got up to wash up for a while, and the two had breakfast. Jia Fu patted his chest, with a proud face: "Brother Sheng, you just wait and see, I, Jia Fu, am in Luoyang, the prestige among the merchants."
"Go early and come back early, dinner in the evening. We also need to prepare well." Liu Sheng looked at Jia Fu, who was full of ambition, and instructed.
Jia Fu smiled and nodded, and walked to the horse ring. He took out his mount, Baiyun, and turned over on his horse. The horse's hooves galloped towards the West Market. Liu Sheng saw Jia Fu walking away, and commanded Yihun in the distance: "Yihun instructed the people in the mansion that we will hold a banquet tonight, don't be rude."
"Don't worry, the villain will go and convey." Yi Hun walked over and listened to Liu Sheng's instructions. Hurriedly bowed down to receive the order and ran to the house.
Seeing that it was still early, Liu Sheng pulled out the snow dust from the horse pen, turned over on the horse, and galloped out of the city. Under a tree in the good hall, Duan Zhaorong and Wang Kexin were playing chess with Uncle Xue, and the three of them laughed constantly.
Duan Zhaorong watched Wang Kexin play chess on the side, and hurriedly admonished Uncle Xue: "Uncle Xue, why do you regret chess again."
"If I make a mistake, I'll restore the chess. It's not that I'm talking about you, Rong girl is a true gentleman watching chess and silent." Uncle Xue was embarrassed and restored the chess he had just regretted. looked at Duan Zhaorong and complained with a smile.
Duan Zhaorong looked at Uncle Xue and deliberately asked, "But Zhaorong is a woman, not a gentleman." Uncle, you say, isn't it?"
"Yes, yes, what Rong girl said, it's not wrong at all." Uncle Xue hurriedly agreed. During this time, the two of them came to play chess with him when they had nothing to do. The days are leisurely and leisurely, so unhappy. For him, this is a day when there is chess to play, even if he gives a god without changing.
Wang Kexin listened to the conversation between the two and couldn't help laughing: "Sister Rong will be yours soon, and I'll play chess with Uncle Xue."
"Oops, how did you lose again. Kexin girl, weren't you a chess piece just now, aren't you here? “。 Uncle Xue looked at the chessboard with a sad face, just chatting with Duan Zhaorong, and relaxed his vigilance for a while, but he didn't expect that in such a moment, he would lose his armor and abandon his armor after being killed.
Wang Kexin looked at Uncle Xue with a sad face, and couldn't help but smile slightly: "Uncle Xue, you are thinking about it yourself."
"This chess piece...... It looks like it's really here." Uncle Xue deducted his mouth in distress, and kept sighing.
Wang Kexin stood up with a smile. Duan Zhaorong sat over and looked at Uncle Xue, who kept grabbing his hair: "Uncle is willing to gamble and lose, let's play a few games."
"Miss Rong is right, I don't want to. Come on, come on, let's move on to chess". Uncle Xue was distressed for a while, and heard Duan Zhaorong's comforting words. Like a child, he changes his face quickly. Keep setting up the pieces and get ready to start over.
Wang Kexin looked at Uncle Xue, who was like a child, and laughed knowingly. Everyone said, old child, this is really true: "Uncle, wait a minute, as long as you win Sister Rong, I will continue to play with you." Otherwise, you'll have to wait until next time."
"You two girls, quirky. But little old man, I'll eat you guys. Rong girl, you have to be careful, I will win this game." Uncle Xue once again swore that he had spoken the words that he had said countless times. If nothing else, every time he says this, it is accompanied by a fiasco.
Looking at the scene in front of her, Wang Kexin felt a trace of warmth, permeating her heart.
