Chapter 19, the white jade beauty
Chen Deng said that it is impossible for me to betray Tao Qian, but Xun was shocked when he heard it-alas, we originally said it well, what kind of medicine did you take, why did you suddenly change your mind? Just as he was about to ask, Chen Deng grabbed his hand and continued:
"Today's situation must not make Xuzhou chaotic, but you and I have a change, someone will be able to profit from it. The pottery envoy is still here, the pottery merchant follows it, you can keep the peace, and wait for the pottery envoy to pass away, at that time, with the ability of the pottery merchant, can you still harm you and me? ”
I see, it was Xun Xin who said that you should not speak so loudly, which scared the little family's liver to flutter. According to Chen Deng's meaning, it is impossible for me to betray Tao Qian and tear Tao Qian off the throne, but if I change the position of Tao merchant, then I will say another story. Now Tao Qian wants to pass on the throne to whoever he wants, and he must try his best to ensure that there is no chaos and no division, so that he will have the opportunity to dedicate a complete Xuzhou to Cao Cao in the future. If Tao Qian's inheritance to the pottery merchants is obstructed at this moment, causing the ministers to split, then Yuan in the south will be able to get a chance, and there may be greater twists and turns between advance and retreat.
It was Xun who agreed with his statement, thinking about the later Liu Biao, even if he passed on the throne to Liu Cong, he would not be able to stop the ministers from working together to sell the lord for glory after all. Now that Tao Qian is still there, not to mention anything else, it is impossible for Danyang soldiers to obey the orders of others, and when Tao Qian hangs up, even Xu Tan may not be willing to be assigned by him wholeheartedly.
So he nodded heavily at Chen Deng, indicating that he fully understood what the other party meant. Chen Deng's expression relaxed slightly, and he smiled slightly: "Tao Envoy Jun summoned Hongfu in, let's go in quickly." "Yes Hoon, I was about to ask. It's normal for Tao Qian to look for you, and discuss things with Cao Hong, Lu Zhu, and Shi Kuan. Or arrange the aftermath, which is also normal. Why did he come to me? Chen Deng shook his head lightly, that means, you ask me, who am I going to ask?
Okay, then let's go and meet Tao Qian myself, after all, it's not a Longtan tiger's den, and there will be no ambush of any knife and axe hand behind the screen - if Tao Qian or someone else wants to kill him, do they still need to set up an ambush? So he followed a slave of the Tao family to the backyard dormitory and entered the door. The first smell of incense and the bitterness of herbs in the air was so irritating that he almost sneezed. As soon as he opened his mouth, he saw Tao Qian lying stiffly on the sick seat, so he quickly pinched his nose and held back.
Two meters away, Shi Xun knelt down at the door and said, "Yanzhou minister is Xun asking to see Tao Envoy." Only then did I find that Tao Qian was not the only one in the house, in front of the screen. In the smoke of cigarettes, a woman's figure was faintly revealed. At first, he was just an ordinary maid or concubine serving Tao Qian, but he saw Tao Qian slowly stretch out a hand from the quilt and pat the mat beside him: "Hongfu." Let's talk about it closely. Shi Xun walked a few steps, came to Tao Qian's side, and raised his head. Only then did I realize that this woman was extraordinary-
Seeing that she was gorgeously dressed, she was by no means something that ordinary maids could afford. Long hair tied up at the back of the head and not combed. It's a maid's dress, and it's definitely not a concubine. Of course, if that's all there is, Shihoon wouldn't be interested in her, but just the woman's appearance, her appearance......
This woman's appearance is really glamorous! I saw that she had a slightly narrow goose egg face, two curved eyebrows that were black but not thick, a pair of big eyes that were crystal clear, a nose like a hanging gall, and red lips like fire, even the second lady of the family and the sister of the elk family were all willing to bow down in front of her, not to mention the wife she had just married. Damn, this must be more than 90 points! The most conspicuous thing is that this woman's skin is extremely white, and when Xun saw it, he felt that his eyes lit up, and his head was shaken a little dizzy - he lowered his eyes slightly and glanced at one of her hands exposed outside his sleeve, which was also as white as if there was no blood, and his face was definitely not painted white with powder, it was not artificial and completely natural!
Who is this woman? I don't want to be so beautiful in this life! Could it be Tao Qian's daughter? Or a granddaughter? Haven't you heard anyone say that the Tao family has such a beautiful lady?
Shixun stared at this beauty in a daze, as if there were a hundred caterpillars crawling in his heart, and the itch was so uncomfortable that he almost couldn't help but want to whistle. It wasn't until Tao Qian coughed lightly that he finally pulled his soul back. Tao Qian said: "In addition, my niece Gan is also. As he spoke, he instructed Gan: "You go out first, and I will call you if there is something." ”
Ah, it turns out that this is the Gan family, the famous Mrs. Gan who was originally taken back by Liu Bei to play with Gu Yuren in history! No wonder, it is said that when Liu Bei was in Xuzhou, his favorite was the jade beauty given by others and this concubine, Mrs. Gan, and compared them with each other to see who was whiter - it was really a pink and white beauty, and he should have thought of it a long time ago.
He watched as Gan leaned over gently, gave a salute, then stood up and stepped back with a graceful twist - well, although there were several layers of silk wrapped in it, and it was impossible to see the figure, this ass was very touching...... Shihoon almost drooled.
Fortunately, Gan's appearance was very fast, otherwise it was estimated that Xun would not have the heart to listen to Tao Qian's speech at all. It was not easy for him to get rid of all kinds of delusions and distracting thoughts in his mind, and turned his head to look at that Tao Gongzu again, and heard Tao Qian say hatefully: "Brother Ru misunderstood me! ”
Ah, it was Xun who was taken aback when he heard this, and said in his heart What happened to the third child, how did he offend Tao Qian? Could it be Tao Qian who he sent someone to assassinate? Can't it, if he has this evil heart and guts, there is no reason why he can't see it at all, what kind of treachery and evil do you have to hide your heart so deeply? Then what he meows is the real "slanderous villain"! Hurriedly asked: "Xun doesn't understand what Tao Yuanjun means." ”
Tao Qian's face was sallow, just like Guan Hai in the courtyard of the family village outside Yanzhou Juancheng now, I saw him gasping for breath with his eyes closed for a while, as if he was desperately condensing the strength to speak, and it took a long time before he asked: "Hongfu can know that the Ru family is only after the late Doctor Qi, and the Cao family is the Miao descendant of Prime Minister Cao, the Ru family is just a foreigner in exile in Xuzhou, and the Elk family is an indigenous rich man, why does the old man want to match the marriage of the three families, and want to use the family as a link to connect Cao and Moose?" ”
Shixun shook his head slightly, and said in his heart that I really hadn't thought about this problem before. Indeed, in terms of identity and status, there is still a distance between the family and the Cao family and the Elk family, and these two marriages cannot be regarded as very matched, and I don't know how the third child persuaded you at the beginning.
Tao Qian continued to speak with his eyes closed: "Hugh wants to underestimate your third brother, he once learned from Henan Fuzi Shen ......"
Fu Zishen, whose real name is Fu Chong, later changed his name to Fu Yi, and then changed his name to Fu Qian, is a famous Confucian in the late Han Dynasty, and wrote "Spring and Autumn Zuo's Biography". It was Xun Xin who said that he was a wide and godly apprentice, why had he never heard him talk about it? Although this title is three points worse than that of "Disciple Zheng Xuan", it can almost walk sideways in the crowd of scholars.
I only heard Tao Qian continue: "...... and from Chen Guo Yingziyan (Yingrong, also a famous Confucian at that time), he traveled extensively. That year, he came from Jingzhou, Wang Juwei (Wang Rong) was a genius in the world, and Miao Wenya (Miao Fei) was cited as a friend of the year, and signed a letter of recommendation and came to see me. Therefore, I not only want to take your family as the link between Moose and Cao, but also want to reuse your brother, so that I can be with Moose and Cao. ”
Yes Xun understood, it turns out that you don't look at it as a young man, with an ordinary family background, but he can't stand his high education, he has worshiped piety and Yingrong as his teacher, and he has been appreciated by Wang Rong, the head of the Linyi Wang family, and even the scholar Miao Fei can be called a brother and a brother - it seems that as long as he spends a little time and energy, his third brother can make a very famous name among the scholars in Xuzhou. Therefore, Tao Qian wants to use his reputation for learning to restrain the two families of Elk and Cao, who are attacking all day long - the Elk family is rich, the Cao family has soldiers, the family is learned, and may have a reputation in the future, so there is a chance to form a new balance.
And it's not just balance, the three families are also in-laws of each other, even if they fight, they won't be as ugly as before, and they all have to save some face. It was a wide suggestion, maybe Tao Qian also thought that in this way, Xuzhou would be too peaceful, and there would be no more chaos.
But will it really turn out the way they want? I heard Tao Qian say again: "The third brother originally recommended that the fourth brother of you was Wen Tong who broke the promise of the Wang family and married the daughter of the Cao family, and did not want Hongfu to return from Yuanjun, so he recommended Hongfu to the old man to carry out this marriage plan." He was not mistaken, Hongfuguo was a genius in the world, but unfortunately once he went to Yanzhou, he refused to come back......"
It was Xun Xin who said, "Yanzhou Le, don't think about Xu", of course I don't want to come back, and the fool will quit Boss Cao to serve you, and I don't know how many days I have to live. But he naturally couldn't say this to his face, and he couldn't think of any other words to speak, so he just hung his head, looked at Tao Qian's old face, and continued to listen silently.
Tao Qian let out a long sigh, repeated "Brother Ru misunderstood me", and then explained: "I was assassinated yesterday, and the old man was very afraid that he would leave here, and it would be difficult for his children to be saved, so he thought about it a lot...... It's a pity, all kinds of schemes are useless, in today's world, masculine replacement, monarchs and ministers are transposed, and people's hearts are lost, what about the marriage? In order to compete for power, both father and son can turn against each other, and wanting to make Elk and Cao Yixin is just wishful thinking after all. Lu Zizhong's party and Zhu Weiming summoned Liu Xuande as an arm, while Cao Zhonghui, Chen Yuanlong and you are Hongfu, and they worked hard to drive Liu Bei out of the county, do you think I am really old and dizzy, can't I see it? ”
Ah, it's Xun Xin who said that I really can't underestimate this old man Tao, it turns out that all our plans haven't escaped his eyes, it turns out that we jumped up and down in front of him, and he was like watching a monkey show, not to say it on the surface, but inside it is clear! I really can't be deceived by this old model's clicking appearance!
Just as he was almost at a loss with the consternation, he saw Tao Qian slowly open his eyes, a pair of cloudy eyes firmly fixed on his face, and said word by word: "Hongfu, you want to dedicate Xuzhou to the Cao family, right?" ”
One sentence broke his mind, and Shixun couldn't help but be so frightened that his soul flew out of the sky, and he couldn't help but reach out and touch his waist...... (To be continued......)
