Chapter 343: Woe to the Water (Part II)

Mrs. Zhang in front of her is no longer the witch who can turn all beings in the world upside down at this moment, but is more like a pure elf in the cool breeze of early autumn.

What caused this woman to change?

Xu Ji couldn't help but carefully observe the Mrs. Zhang in front of him again. There is no excessive makeup, just plain face, there is no decoration on the whole body, the long black hair is extremely tamely fluttering down, the light veil all over the body, although the delicate body is still looming under this light veil, the peaks and peaks are undulating, but there is no tempting taste at all, it will only make people pity, and people can't help but hold her in their arms and comfort her softly.

If there is anything else that Mrs. Zhang at this moment reminds people of men and women, it is Mrs. Zhang's pair of bare little feet, round heels that are smoother than the skin of a newborn baby, and those ten small and delicate cute toes, which will arouse strong impulses, but with Mrs. Zhang's incredible innocence now, it will only give people a strong sense of guilt and feel that their thoughts are very dirty. But no matter what, Mrs. Zhang in front of her is really like two people compared to before.

But Xu Ji firmly believes in one sentence, that is, "the country is easy to change, but the nature is difficult to change".

Once a person's character is formed, it is very difficult to change it, unless something special stimulates her.

Could it be that Zhen Mi's incident had such a big impact on her? Seeing that Xu Ji was a little stunned, Mrs. Zhang's face actually showed a cheering smile like a little girl, patting her delicate chest. said softly: "It's so good, I didn't expect that Lord Pony, who has always turned a blind eye to others, would be in a daze for the concubine!"

Looking at Mrs. Zhang's moving appearance with a clever smile, Xu Jixin became inexplicably relaxed.

In the face of Mrs. Zhang, he didn't seem to be able to take the slightest defense against this woman.

This thought made Xu Ji surprised. How can you be merciful in the face of your enemies? Especially for this Mrs. Zhang, who is absolutely a woman in terms of intrigue and trickery, Xu Ji does not dare to ignore it.

In a trance. Mrs. Zhang had already come to Xu Ji's side like a breeze, and her little feet were as smooth and delicate as ivory. kissed Xu Jidi on the face like a dragonfly dotting water.

The plump and soft feeling suddenly made Xu Ji sober up. When Xu Ji realized what was going on. Mrs. Zhang had already stepped back a lot, standing there prettyly, looking at Xu Ji with a slightly red jade face, indescribably moving.

Xu Ji's heart rippled, and there was still the intimate taste of this lady on his face, and he was speechless for a while.

Mrs. Zhang looked at Xu Ji for a while. He returned to the small table in the room and sat down in front of the small table of competition, poured another cup of fragrant tea, and smiled at Xu Ji: "The general's great kindness and great virtue concubine have nothing to repay, but to offer a cup of fragrant tea." Talk about the heart. ”

Although Xu Ji was slightly embarrassed because of Mrs. Zhang's actions, after all, the age gap between him and Mrs. Zhang was really not small, but he was a free and casual person. In a blink of an eye, he recovered, heard the words, and came to sit down in front of Mrs. Zhang. looked at the pretty face that seemed to be anxious for all the mountains and rivers in the world, and said with a smile: "Mrs. Zhang still said that she was talking about her heart?" The beauty kiss is a priceless treasure in the world, if today's events are known to others, then I, Xu Ji, the public enemy of the world, will immediately have another crime, and I will be mistaken for deceiving my wife's heart. ”

Mrs. Zhang sneered. I only felt that Xu Ji's witty words were like beads, and it was indescribably comfortable to talk to him, and after exhaling a breath, he smiled and said: "Since the incident in Mi'erdi." It's been a long time since the concubine has been so happy. No, I should say I've never been so happy. Looking at Xu Ji's submissive look, he was obviously insincere and disbelieving. couldn't help but sneer: "Is the concubine so unworthy of the trust of adults?" ”

Xu Ji shook his head again and again, feeling that this troubled woman was really tricky. It's really a headache on one side, but it's also inexplicably sweet.

Mrs. Zhang gave Xu Ji a blank look. There are all kinds of indescribable amorousness, and then he said softly: "Don't misunderstand me, the reason why the concubine is happy is not just because of adults, but because she has thought about some things clearly and feels that she doesn't have to live so hard anymore." ”

Xu Ji looked at Mrs. Zhang and listened to her quietly, between which Mrs. Zhang's eyes showed a sad look, and said to Xu Ji in a dreamy voice: "I was born in the Zhang family in Yizhou, which is the leading family in Yizhou, and I have always had no worries about food and clothing, and my parents are even more fond of me, and will not let me be hurt a little, I have always been the heart and soul of my parents." However, I have always wondered that every time outsiders see me and praise me for being a beautiful embryo, my father is always very upset. So I was curious and asked my father why, didn't he want his daughter to be likeable? ”

When Xu Ji heard this, he couldn't help but answer: "Since ancient times, there have been many thin lives, and the most miserable thing is the disaster that is considered to be a disaster for the country and the people, just like a compliment, what does the destruction of the Western Zhou Dynasty have to do with her?" That's King Zhou You's own confusion, but it's a pity that Bao Xi is not only infamous through the ages, but also snatched up like goods. I think Zunjun must have doubts because he saw that his wife would be peerless in the future, but he hoped that his wife could be ordinary. ”

A look of surprise flashed in Mrs. Zhang's eyes, and she nodded and sighed: "It's the first time that the concubine has heard such words from a man's mouth for the sake of us women, and General Xu Ji is really different. ”

Xu Ji blushed even more when he heard this, these truths are just things that everyone knows in later generations, there is really nothing remarkable, Xu Ji can't help but feel a little sorry at this time, this lady Zhang seems to have unlimited life, but she is also a person who is depressed in her heart. How much more can a woman who stands in a high position be like this, let alone the thousands of women who live at the bottom?

Mrs. Zhang sighed faintly, and then said softly: "It's a pity that I didn't understand my father's mind at the time, but I just knew that my parents would try their best to meet all my needs, and now I know that they are worried that their daughter will not have a good life after she gets married in the future." That's why I enjoyed life when I was still free. Do more of what you want to do. ”

"When I was twelve years old, my name spread all over Jizhou because of my appearance. Gradually, it spread to other states and counties, and there were countless princes and grandsons who came to visit. They all wanted to take concubines as wives. It's a pity that they all came home, and they are not the people who are young and my heart is excited. It's a pity that family interests cut me off from all choices. At that moment, I realized that my destiny was to lose the most precious right in a girl's life, and I had no way to control my marriage. "Later, driven by the interests of the family, I resigned myself to marrying my husband, that is, Mi'er's father, although I never really liked him from beginning to end. But he was really good to me, maybe he was the only person I was grateful to in my life before the adults rescued Mi'er, I gave birth to several children for him, but Mi'er was the one I loved the most, because I was in Mi'er. It was as if I saw myself. From the moment Mi'er was born, look at her unusually beautiful face and eyes. I knew that one day she would follow my old path, especially after the great minister Liu Liang said that she had the order of the queen, I firmly believed in this even more, so I loved Mi'er as much as my parents loved me. I want her to be happy in her childhood. Xu Ji was silent, it seems that this Zhang family is really very discerning. You must know that although the Zhen family is a powerful family in Jizhou. But academically, it is not a family heirloom, and compared with Yuan Shao's Yuan family, it is even more incomparable.

According to Mrs. Zhang's charm, in fact, the Zhang family can have more choices. But the Zhang family chose the Zhen family, which clearly saw the instability of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Troubled times are coming, in troubled times. Whoever can control the food can speak loudly. That's why he gave up those flashy prisoners and married Mrs. Zhang to Zhen Mi's father. Mrs. Zhang didn't look at Xu Ji's heart-wrenched appearance. He just said to himself: "If my husband had not passed away very early, maybe my life would have been uneventful, and I would have been a beautiful but ordinary and virtuous wife." It's a pity that God didn't fulfill people's wishes, and the husband passed away when Mi'er was very young. Only our orphans and widows were left, and my eldest son died of illness at a very early age, when she was still young, and Mi'er was babbling again. What makes me even more chilling is that as soon as my husband died, the people in the Zhen family immediately began to steal my husband's property as the head of the Zhen family. ”

"People say that people are forced out, it doesn't matter if I die, my Mi'er can't be left unattended, if it weren't for me, I hardly dare to imagine what terrible things would happen to Mi'er's beauty when he grew up. So I have to live."

"My beauty Zhen family is famous, so as long as I want, there are many people who help me, but I know that those men just covet my beauty and body, and they think that getting me is the greatest happiness and glory in life, so I will not let them get my body easily, I always leave them at the most critical time, which makes them itch and itch, and provokes them to compete with each other for thinking of me, so that they will compete with me, so that they will compete with me, will meet more and more of my requirements, gradually, I mastered the power of the family soldiers, and made several big deals in a row, gradually established prestige in the Zhen family, and then began to fight my enemies in the family, eliminate dissidents, and only then did I really grasp the power of the Zhen family. Xu Ji heard her say it lightly when she talked about the struggle for power in the Zhen family, but he knew that there must be countless dangers and swords and swords in it, and it was really difficult for this woman to survive. Maybe the past events made Mrs. Zhang very depressed, so after she let out a long breath, she said again: "The higher a person stands, the farther he can see, when I stand in the highest position of the Zhen family, I found that the enemies I have to face are far more and stronger than the enemies in the family, the Xin family, the Cui family, the Gao family, the Guan family, the Geng family, there are too many." I knew at that time that I wanted to expand my strength, so the Zhen family's business was no longer based on food, but also joined the business operation. I Jizhou is connected to the state in the west, Yanzhou in the east, and Sizhou in the south. Not only can it cooperate with the big businessmen of Bingzhou, but also can continuously transport all kinds of novelties from Yanzhou to the mainland, and Sizhou is the place where the country's dignitaries and nobles are located, and the commercial profits are amazing. ”

"With a lot of money, I have only organized the huge Zhen family's clan soldiers, which originally only had more than 10,000 people. By the time you took possession of Yizhou, it had become fifty-eight thousand. ”

Xu Ji's eyes sparkled when he heard this: This Mrs. Zhang is really a business wizard.

Mrs. Zhang seems to have returned to the time when she was surprised. His spirit soared and he said, "At that time, I was already convinced that no one could shake my Zhen family. After a pause, he said to Xu Ji: "I know that I have met Yuan Benchu and General Xu Ji." Yuan Benchu's prestige is incomparable. I couldn't resist, but this man was so happy. I can make more use of it. But in the face of General Xu Ji, I don't have the slightest hope of success, from the last time Mr. Guo Jia happened, I knew that General Xu Ji was not something I could resist. ”

Xu Ji had already understood the different names of Mrs. Zhang when he heard him, and at this time he also turned his head to look at Mrs. Zhang, and said with a wry smile: "Mrs. Zhang doesn't have to be presumptuous. Therefore, heroes are sad to pass the beauty pass, there are many people who love the country and love the beauty more, and the charm of the lady is irresistible. ”

Mrs. Zhang smiled innocently like a little girl. "Am I so nervous about you?" I know that General Xu Ji must not be someone who will be deceived. Xu Ji was embarrassed by what Mrs. Zhang said smartly, and he was not really a true gentleman who sat still. It's just because I always have a kind of vigilance against Mrs. Zhang, so I am almost unmoved in the face of this trouble. Of course, Xu Ji also had to admit that the age gap between the two also made Xu Ji, as a descendant, a little unacceptable, but this reason is not enough to say.

Mrs. Zhang said softly again: "Originally, I was not convinced, and I wanted to find a chance to take revenge on Lord Xu, but the incident of Mi'er being robbed made me think about a lot of things. ”

"At the beginning, I was almost crazy, but fortunately, with the news of Master Liang Xi, I stabilized, but it was not until that time that I realized that the most important thing in my life was my Mi'er. I also remembered that all the hard work in this half of my life was for Mi'er. Once Mi'er is lost, everything means nothing to me. ”

"So I repented at that time, it turned out that I had missed a lot of good things, and now I had nothing else to ask for. I just want my daughter to be happy. I'm tired of the struggle for power, and I don't want to fight anymore. ”

Only then did Xu Ji understand why Mrs. Zhang was so unusual today. However, Xu Ji would not trust others so easily, in the face of Mrs. Zhang's confession. Xu Ji really didn't know whether he should believe it or not, but Xu Ji was at least sure of one thing. That is, until now, this Mrs. Zhang has not used her own meaning, and this alone has made Xu Ji's impression of Mrs. Zhang greatly changed. Mrs. Zhang looked at Xu Ji's contemplative appearance, and said with a smile: "If it was before, I would definitely be wondering what Lord Xu was thinking about at the moment, whether it would be good for me, but not now." ”

Xu Ji was surprised and couldn't help asking, "Oh? Why did Madame say this? ”

Mrs. Zhang looked at Xu Ji boldly, her eyes were so hot that Xu Ji's cold heart almost melted, Mrs. Zhang said softly: "Lord Xu, since Mi'er was rescued, plus I went to Yanzhou alone some time ago to relax, and I saw all kinds of Yanzhou politics, I realized that for me, Lord Xu was a strong and benevolent lord, just like my parents tolerated me when I made mistakes, I used Mr. Guo Jia so much, Lord Xu did not kill me, On the contrary, I also gave the Zhen family all kinds of help in business, which means that I can completely trust Lord Xu, because I have finally found someone who is so strong that he has no interest in the Zhen family and my mother and daughter, and this person is worthy of complete trust. Xu Ji had fully understood Mrs. Zhang's mentality at this moment.

Mrs. Zhang said softly: "I don't want to be Lord Xu's enemy anymore, and I don't want to be intrigued, because I know that Lord Xu will protect us well." This may be called loving the people like a son! ”

After a pause, Mrs. Zhang said again: "But, does Lord Xu know why the concubine still knows why at this moment the concubine still knows how to call you Lord Xu instead of the lord?" Xu Ji was having mixed feelings about Mrs. Zhang's words at this time, and he was stunned when he heard the words, which was indeed a strange thing. Immediately, he was secretly shocked in his heart, and then he became vigilant: What conditions does this calamity want to tell me?

Looking at Xu Ji's inquiring gaze, Mrs. Zhang smiled and said, "Because I'm not sure if Lord Xu can protect my daughter." Only those who can protect my daughter are my heavens, my earths, and my masters. ”

Xu Ji was a little incomprehensible. Mrs. Zhang looked at Xu Ji and said softly: "I just hope that there is someone who can let my daughter no longer follow my old path, and let my daughter choose her spouse as she likes." ”

Xu Ji's heart relaxed, he can still make decisions in this matter, after all, the law of Yanzhou is here.

Mrs. Zhang looked at Xu Ji's relaxed appearance, sighed and said: "Lord Xu must think clearly, my daughter is a person with the queen's order, although I don't believe it, but I can't stand the crowd, will Lord Xu marry An'er to today's saints in the future?" Xu Ji was stunned when he heard this, and then he understood what Mrs. Zhang was worried about.

To be honest, I really can't guarantee this, after all, politics is difficult to say, if you need to ease the relationship with Liu Xie in the future and give the outside world an image of your own harmony with Liu Xie, it is definitely a good idea to marry Zhen Mi, the person who ordered the queen, to Liu Xie.

Xu Ji was a little hesitant, and when he looked up at Mrs. Zhang, he found that Mrs. Zhang's eyes were full of anticipation, and her heart was hot, and she said, "Okay!" I promise Madame! (To be continued......)
