Chapter 203: Affection (Part II)
Liu Jing looked at Shu'er and found that she had an engraved plum ink jade hairpin in her bun, and said with a smile: "Your hairpin is very good, it seems that the richest man in Chen can still buy some good things." So he stretched out his hand and pinned a red plum next to the King Kong small jade sword, nodded and praised: "Red plum with ink plum, it looks good." ”
Shu'er touched the hairpin on her head, lowered her head shyly, and said, "I didn't buy this hairpin, but speaking of it, it has some relationship with me." This was originally Xiao Niangniang's thing, and it was a gift from the prince of Wei Guo to the princess of Qi back then. ”
Liu Jing first saw Shu'er showing a shy attitude in front of him, and the appearance of low eyebrows and whispering was like a red plum blooming, which made him extremely excited.
Shu'er continued: "This was given to me by the Lord of Zhuge Island when I got married. He is the prince of the country back then, and the current lord of the country. I recognized the lord of Qi as my father-in-law, and married the righteous son of the prince of Weiguo, so the lord of Zhuge Island gave me this hairpin made of Weiguo diamond jade, so that I could calmly complete the old marriage alliance of Qi Wei for him. ”
Liu Jing looked at the red plum and ink plum on Shu'er's bun, and the mood that had just rippled was twisted into a sore feeling at this time. Qi Wei's old marriage alliance? Why do you want to be a princess of the Song Kingdom to finish? Although the ink plum is dark, it is as strong as King Kong, and although the red plum is beautiful, it will be scattered into mud, only the lingering fragrance......
Shu'er, I didn't expect to meet again in this life, I am married, and you are also married.
Liu Jing couldn't help asking, "That Restoration Alliance Leader, is it good for you?" ”
Seeing Liu Jing's critical and disgusted look, Shu'er smiled and asked, "Then Qiao Meiren and Ling Meiren, are they good to you?" ”
Liu Jing sighed: "They each have their own twists and turns, but I can see through those thoughts at a glance, and they are not interesting." So I was even more boring and dull talking to them than I was to those old ministers. ”
Shu'er comforted: "The girl's mind is always crooked. Both of them are first-class ladies in the Song Kingdom, with high morale, and they are inevitably competitive. Since my brother can see through their minds, he must know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade. ”
Liu Jing raised his eyebrows: "You have been pretending to be a man for too long, right?" When you see a woman, you pity the jade? ”
Shu'er sneered and said, "I'm a little girl in a man's skin, and I actually bend more than anyone else in those fragrant and jade thoughts." Try to make you unable to see through, and talk to me without feeling dull. ”
Liu Jing said: "Your clever tongue is like a spring, I learned it in the Pingliang Chamber of Commerce." ”
Shu'er looked sideways to admire the plum, looked arrogant, and said: "The hero doesn't mention the courage of the year." However, I don't know if that old man Zhao listened to my advice and repaired his dilapidated palace. ”
Liu Jing saw that she was more delicate than flowers and her skin was better than snow, which was really hard to hide. Although he knew that there was little hope, he couldn't help but ask tentatively: "Since you have returned, why don't you stay for some time and help me sort out the private business community or household money and grain in the Song Kingdom?" ”
Shu'er turned her head and looked at Liu Jing with a smile. Liu Jing saw her big eyes flickering and blinking, and felt that she was smiling hypocritically, no wonder she said that her mind was more tortuous than anyone else's. Liu Jing asked: "What, Boss Yan thinks that my Song country is shallow, and I can't tolerate greedy big fish?" ”
Shu'er shook her head and explained, "Song Guo is different from Chen Guo. Chen Guomin had a thriving business, but Chen Guo's government business was very small. King Chen's largest income comes only from exacting taxes and miscellaneous taxes. In recent years, King Chen has paid great attention to military training, so he spends money like water. Chen Wang Li Chen, in fact, has no money. However, the Song State is different, the Song State has a lot of official business, and it does not just rely on miscellaneous taxes to support the country. Since His Royal Highness the King of Song is already the richest man in the Song Kingdom, and there is no room for two tigers in one mountain, I, a wealthy businessman in the Chen Kingdom, should not come to disturb the business of the Song Kingdom. ”
Liu Jing sighed: "Actually, you can retreat or advance, take a step back, you are the princess of Qi Kingdom, and further, you are the princess of Song Kingdom." Why do you have to let go of the smooth road of the princess of the Song Kingdom, and you have to take the thorny road to restore the country? Although Xiao Niangniang gave birth to you, but Lin Niangniang raised you, you grew up in the Song Palace, why do you have no feelings for the Song Kingdom? ”
Why don't you have any feelings for me?
You know that I am your brother, and you put your sword on my neck last year, so close at hand, why don't you recognize me?
Shu'er turned her head sideways to look at the red plums in the garden, and explained: "Brother, when I was seven years old, after I left the Song Kingdom, I first went to the Chu Kingdom, and later, in order to avoid the disaster of the Seven Kings, I went all the way to the Chen Kingdom with my three aunts and Lin Ying, the little lord of the Shengwang Mansion. The lord of King Sheng's Mansion is actually the one you have seen, Chen Guo's piano and painting are unique, Su Ying. In Chen, we do a lot of business. In the middle of that, in order to negotiate business with the workshop of Biliang Ningxiang, I went to Xiling of Shu Kingdom. In Xiling, I got acquainted with the brothers of the ten sects and eight sects, and I also became the lord of Xiling. But I didn't know at the time that they were actually a group of patriotic rangers. Later, in order to return to the Song Kingdom, I went to the Pingliang Chamber of Commerce held by King Zhao, thinking that if I could get acquainted with a few wealthy merchants of the Song Kingdom, I would be able to blend into the Song Kingdom with them. ”
Liu Jing listened to Shu'er's experience of traveling to five countries, and couldn't help but feel hard for her and proud of her. He said: "So, you are in Pingliang Zhao Palace and got acquainted with the richest man in the Song Kingdom, your brother and me." It seems that you are really a discerning person. ”
Although Shu'er listened to Liu Jing's witty and light words, she couldn't be happy when she thought of her state of mind when she returned to the Jade Capital, so she had to smile bitterly: "Brother, in fact, before returning to the Jade Capital, I missed the Song Kingdom every day, missed the Jade Capital, and missed the mother and you in the White Jade Palace. Because it is almost impossible for Chen Guoren to go to Song Kingdom, the greater the obstacle, the deeper my thoughts. But brother, in the spring of last year, I really came back, but what I saw was full of strangeness. I actually don't know anything about Song Guo, and I didn't even recognize you at all when I spent many days with you and Ling Fei. I suddenly realized that my longing for Song Guo for many years seemed to be all fake. ”
Liu Jing was sad when she heard this, and gently shook Shu'er's hand.
Shu'er continued: "When I miss Chen Guo, I can clearly think of the vassal and elegant people who came and went on the upper floors of the old city of Fanjing, and the appearance of the vendors in the black market. When I miss the state of Chu, I clearly remember that Linjiang Restaurant has changed from a prosperous business to only seven dishes, I remember the orange grove in Yulingsheng's mansion, I remember Xianhu, I remember Jintan...... When I miss the Shu Kingdom, I remember the peerless peaks in Xiling, the giant pythons and medicinal springs in Yaowang Mountain, and the Zichuan Yihui Palace...... Even if I have only been to Zhao Kingdom for a few days, I remember the idyllic scenery there and the disrepair of the Zhao Palace of Pingliang. But what about Song Guo? In addition to my mother and brother, my memory of the Song Kingdom is only one White Jade Palace, which is not welcome and does not belong to me. ”
Liu Jing took Shu'er into his arms mercilessly, stroked her head, and said gently: "In your colorful memory, I will be content if you can leave a corner for me, a person with rough knowledge." Shu'er, brother is still the same sentence, no matter whose daughter you are, I am your brother, and I will love you and spoil you for the rest of my life. ”
Shu'er's cheek leaned against Liu Jing's shoulder, and tears suddenly fell. She choked up and said: "Actually, that day the Empress Dowager asked me for the Huaiwang Sword, and I desperately took it and didn't give it to anyone, because I have always stubbornly believed that since I have traveled all over the five countries, I can't find out the news of my biological father, Song Huaiwang, is my father, brother, you, are my own brother." But...... You...... Not after all...... Therefore the thoughts of the fourteen years are true, and all are false.
