Chapter 169: Melancholy

Although Adou is young, he still looks very clever now, and in the process of teaching Fang Shao, he will take the initiative to ask whenever he doesn't understand, so that Fang Shao has to spend a lot of saliva to explain to him.

Fang Shao suddenly had a thought, in the original history, Adou threw Liu Bei to the ground, did he have a problem with his head, so he failed to develop into a talented monarch in the later period. And now Adou has saved himself, avoiding the fate of being fallen, and it is very likely that his head will develop normally.

Of course, this is also Fang Shao's guess under boredom, in the romance, it is said that Liu Bei fell Adou, whether it happened in the real history, no one knows.

After more than an hour, seeing that Adou was also a little sleepy, Fang Shao said: "That's all for today's schoolwork, the eldest son can rest, but remember to review what he has learned today." ”

As soon as Adou heard that class was over, he almost jumped up with joy.

At this moment, Mrs. Mi also entered, and saw that Adou was about to run out, so she said: "Adou, why don't you listen to Mr. Lecture, and where are you going to play." ”

Fang Shao hurriedly explained: "The eldest prince is still young, and his studies should not be too heavy, today's lesson has been finished, so let him play." ”

Mrs. Mi agreed, and asked the maids to take Adou to play in the garden.

"Zhongzheng, thank you for your hard work, sit down for a while, drink tea and rest for a while before leaving." Mifu said and asked someone to watch the tea.

Fang Shao knew that she must have something to say to herself, so she didn't leave in a hurry.

The two of them sat down, and the maids were waiting outside, and Mrs. Mi's indifferent face suddenly showed a deep sense of worry, and said: "Zhongzheng, the husband wants to accept the matter of the side room, I guess you all already know." ”

Fang Shao knew that she would ask this, no wonder, her wife had been pressed by Mrs. Gan, a concubine with a son, but now Mrs. Gan hung up, gave birth to a son by herself, and lived in a prosperous and stable place like Chengdu.

"Well, Shao has also heard a little, the lord sits on the land of two states, his status is extremely noble, and it is normal to have a few side rooms, so Mrs. doesn't have to worry too much."

Fang Shao could only be relieved with such words, but Mrs. Mi obviously couldn't be relieved, she frowned and said, "Husband, he hasn't accepted concubines before, but this time it seems to be very unusual. I heard that my husband is planning to marry the Wu family in a beautiful way, and the whole house is busy these days, and it seems that he wants to make a big show, which is very different from when the husband took a concubine before, but I don't know where this Wu family came from, I feel very uneasy in my heart. ”

Although Mrs. Mi is not a smart person in ice and snow, she will not be so stupid that she can't see the difference between Liu Bei's concubine this time.

Fang Shao was not easy to hide, so he had to say truthfully: "Don't hide it from Mrs., this Wu family is the sister of Wu Ziyuan, a famous scholar in Yizhou, and the lord accepts him as a concubine, so he naturally has the intention of winning over the Yizhou scholars, so he has to make the scenery beautiful, so that the faces of the Yizhou scholars will be bright." ”

"So that's the case, the two military advisors, and the eldest brother, didn't they react at all?"

Mrs. Mi still has a little political consciousness and knows that this involves the interests of the scholars of Jingzhou and Yizhou.

Fang Shao said patiently: "Well, they also know about this, but for the sake of the overall situation, they weighed it again and again, so they didn't object." But Madame, please rest assured, the acquiescence of the military advisors is also conditional, that is, the lord personally promised that the status of Madame's main room must be unbreakable, so Madame does not have to worry. ”

Mrs. Mi breathed a sigh of relief, but her expression was still not very comfortable, and she lowered her head and muttered, "Since this is the case, then I don't have anything to worry about." ”

Fang Shao was worried about Mrs. Mi's depressed attitude, so he said: "Madam, when you are in front of the lord in this matter, try to be as generous as possible, in short, the lord is thinking of the good of the lady in his heart, as long as the lady serves the lord with peace of mind, plus I am outside to protect it, no one wants to shake the status of the lady." ”

Fang Shao's words of relief could only be said to this, Mrs. Mi's mood was finally a little better, she raised her head to look at him, barely showed a smile on her melancholy face, and sighed softly: "It's good to be able to talk to you, I have been very worried in my heart before, but now I am finally a little safer." ”

Fang Shao inadvertently found that the corners of Mrs. Mi's eyes seemed to have wrinkles, if it was calculated, she was only thirty years old now, but it seemed to be much older than in previous years, this is because of women's physiological reasons, and secondly, most of them were also displaced in the early years, after life and death, and their mental strength was greatly damaged, so as they grew older, they were more likely to look old.

Fang Shao unconsciously remembered that when he was in Changbanpo, the Mrs. Mi he saw at that time was still a young woman of Peugeot, and her face was smooth and could not see the traces of half a cent of time, but now her face was gradually showing her withering, and he couldn't help but feel a little pity in his heart.

He suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly said: "Madam, didn't that Zhang Zhongjing Divine Doctor enter Sichuan with us, this person has superb medical skills, and he must also have that beauty and health prescription, Madame should also take care of her body." ”

When Mrs. Mi heard him say this, she didn't feel worried, caressed her face with her hand, and muttered, "Could it be that I look a lot older?" ”

Exposing the fact that a woman is getting old in person, of course Fang Shao will not do such an ungentlemanly thing, so he had to smile euphemistically: "Madame is naturally beautiful, where is there a little bit of old looks, but birth, old age, sickness and death are the common sense of heaven and earth, wouldn't it be better if Madam could take care of herself early." ”

"Alas! You don't have to comfort me, I also know that I have aged very quickly in recent years, but I am afraid that in a few years, I will be old and yellow, and even if my husband thinks of me again, his heart will gradually become estranged. ”

Fang Shao has not known Mrs. Mi for a day or two, and her surname Ge Ge, who likes to feel sorry for herself, also knows very well, in short, this woman seems to be gentle and virtuous, but in fact she is sentimental, and a woman who has a lot of things in her heart often does not live long.

Fang Shao had no choice but to patiently enlighten the surname: "Madam, you don't have to worry too much, life is short, and you should also find fun in time." Anyway, you already have the second son-in-law to rely on, so why don't you think about the future. ”

At the mention of the second son, Mrs. Mi's expression perked up, she suddenly leaned forward a little, took Fang Shao's hand, and said: "Zhongzheng, I only have one son, Atai, no matter what the future, you must protect him well." ”

Mrs. Mi's emotions suddenly became so excited, and she even forgot to catch her hand, Fang Shao couldn't help but be taken aback, but she pretended to be indifferent, as if it was fine, she naturally pulled out her hand, arched slightly, and said with a smile: "Madame, don't worry, Atai Gongzi is the son of the lord, and Madame trusts Shao so much, Shao Zi will protect the little son." ”

Mrs. Mi also realized that her actions were a little inappropriate, and she didn't feel dizzy on her face, so she didn't dare to meet his gaze, so she only bowed her head and said: "Atai, he is different from Adou, Zhongzheng, you must protect him well." ”

Mrs. Mi's behavior was quite strange, Fang Shao only said that she was disturbed by Liu Bei's concubine, and her mood was a little unusual, so she had such abnormal words and actions.

So, Fang Shao said with a straight face: "Madame, don't worry, Shao promises that as long as I am there for one day, I will definitely ensure that the little boy is thorough." ”

Mrs. Mi's mood calmed down a little, she exhaled slightly, and said with a shallow smile: "With the sentence Zhongzheng, I will be relieved." ”

Fang Shao persuaded Mrs. Mi to feel a lot better, and this is Liu Bei's mansion, so if he is alone with his mother for too long, it is inevitable that he will give people a tongue, in order to avoid suspicion, Fang Shao said a few words and got up to leave.

So, after nearly a month of preparation, a grand wedding was held in Chengdu, and Liu Bei, the general of Zuo and the pastor of Yizhou, officially accepted Wu as his concubine. At the same time, Liu Bei ordered a great reward for civil and military affairs, and held a banquet in the state capital for three days as a congratulatory event.

And in this marriage, in addition to the groom, the most dazzling thing is Fa Zheng, who is a good matchmaker, and Liu Bei in order to thank Fa Zheng, the old man, also rewarded another 100 gold and 500 silver gold to show his favor and gratitude.

As a result, Fazheng's limelight was more prosperous for a while, and there was a lot of traffic every day in front of his house, some of the Dongzhou scholars came to receive Liu Bei's bounty, some of the Yizhou indigenous scholars came to pull the relationship, and some of the people who offended the Fazheng came to make amends, so as not to let the butcher's knife of the Fazheng fall on their necks one day.

And Fa Zheng does have the style of a national scholar, Liu Bei gave him a bounty, he didn't take anything, all of it was rewarded to Dongzhou scholars, and those who had offended him, no matter how he made amends, he refused to let go. As a result, in the month that Liu Bei took Wu as a concubine, more than 20 officials were convicted, and those who were assigned were distributed, and those who were executed were executed.

However, just when Fazheng was at its peak, the counterattack of Jingzhou scholars quietly unfolded.

Early that morning, Liu Bei got up early in the morning to deal with official business, and suddenly found that there were dozens of impeachment notes on his case overnight, up to the officials of Chengdu and down to the border county Taishou, and the targets of their impeachment were all engaged in Peng Yi in Zhizhong, saying that this person abused his private power, formed a party for personal gain, embezzled and accepted bribes, etc., in short, there were all kinds of crimes.

With Liu Bei's knowledge, he immediately realized that this collective impeachment was extraordinary, and then looked closely at those who participated in the impeachment, and sure enough, he found that these people were all from Jingxiang.

"I knew that they didn't agree to this marriage so simply, and they jointly impeached this Peng Yi, I think it's actually for Fa Xiaozhi. The one who can come up with such a means must be Kong Ming's military division. Well, but Xiaozhi is indeed too flamboyant, and it's time to suppress him. ”
