Chapter Seventy-One: Brainwashing
"Sea vessels?" Li Zhi muttered, and then said: "I heard that the sea is not as good as the land, and it is extremely easy to get lost when sailing on the sea. If there is no good ship, the boss is afraid that the entire fleet will be lost at sea. ”
Zhang Wenyi didn't expect that Li Zhi didn't know about shipping, she also thought that only she knew that there was such a thing among the upper-class people in this era.
In fact, Zhang Wenyi's knowledge of ancient Chinese shipping originated from a game called "The Age of Discovery", which she had a cousin who used to be obsessed with. Zhang Wenyi still remembers that he once said that there are two Chinese ports in this game, one of which is the port of Quanzhou. It seems that there is still some operation to buy silver in Japan to make money.
Zhang Wenyi herself had no experience of going to southern Fujian, so she had to say that the source of this idea was Wen Zheng.
Li Zhi expressed his doubts, and Zhang Wenyi, in order to dispel his doubts, said with a smile: "I heard that there is a fleet to Goryeo, and I also heard that many people have made a fortune on this route. ”
Poor Zhang Wenyi herself has not played "The Age of Discovery", just some hearsay. She only knew that she could go to Japan to sell silver in the game, and thought that since Japan had a "Tang envoy" in the Tang Dynasty, maybe there was already a route to Japan in this era.
If there is a route to Japan, then there should be a route to Goryeo, after all, the ginseng and mink skins in the Northeast have been famous since ancient times.
Li Zhi was suspicious of Zhang Wenyi's proposal, calculated the time, and needed to deal with it quickly. Otherwise, it will be too late.
Stretched out his hand and grabbed Zhang Wenyi, and Wen saved it, making her gasp again and again, and then let her go satisfied. Looking at the back of Li Zhishi Shiran leaving triumphantly, Zhang Wenyi helplessly smoothed the dress that was messed up by him.
walked to the side of the strip to find the bronze mirror, and looked at the crooked image of the sideburns, Zhang Wenyi had to do it to recomb the bun that was rubbed by Li Zhi.
She knew that Li Zhi had been molesting her a lot recently, but she knew that she would stop as long as she felt a little uncomfortable. When she was full of confidence in Chen Juan on the surface, she actually had no bottom in her heart.
Li Zhi has not left her since they met, even if he can only watch and not eat, Li Zhi has not touched other women. Zhang Wenyi couldn't imagine if a beautiful girl like Chen Juan climbed into his bed, Li Zhi would really be able to hold it.
Just finished tidying up her appearance, Chen Juan also returned to the sleeping tent.
I took a closer look at the things she brought back, and the purchases were all complete and the quantity was enough. Looking at Chen Juan's flushed face and toned figure, Zhang Wenyi felt more and more empty.
Zhang Wenyi asked intentionally or unintentionally: "Didn't you meet anything on the road?" ”
Chen Juan knelt down when she heard this, and said, "Back to Your Highness, the maid met Sister Xiaoyan on the way back, and she took the maid to see Princess Pingyang Zhao. ”
"Where did you meet Xiaoyan?" Zhang Wenyi asked expressionlessly.
Chen Juan didn't know how much Zhang Wenyi knew, so she didn't dare to hide it. He replied, "On the way back from the servant." ”
Chen Juan's answer was not unexpected by Zhang Wenyi, since Princess Pingyang Zhao brought such a person in, it was not normal not to use her to spy on Li Zhi and her.
Zhang Wenyi asked, "What did you say?" After asking, he hurriedly added: "It doesn't matter what you say, but you must tell me to know." ”
Chen Juan replied tremblingly, and said, "The maid only said that he found someone peeping at the camp and His Royal Highness asked the maid to go shopping. ”
Zhang Wenyi nodded, she expected that Chen Juan would not dare to tell Li Yirou her threatening words. If she told Princess Pingyang Zhao that she had expressed the intention of threatening to win over, then Chen Juan would probably not return here.
Zhang Wenyi glanced at Chen Juan and raised her hand to signal her to get up. Seeing this, Chen Juan knew that she had passed the test, so she quickly stood up and walked to Zhang Wenyi's side to please her.
Zhang Wenyi sat on the bed, took out a needle and thread, and wanted to continue sewing underwear for Li Zhi. Seeing Chen Juan standing beside him, he smiled and said, "I'm fine here, you go down and rest." ”
Seeing Zhang Wenyi's pleasant face, Chen Juan was stunned for a long time before she mustered up the courage to ask: "Isn't it true that Your Highness wants to marry the slave to that barbarian?" ”
When Zhang Wenyi heard her ask, she instantly understood Chen Juan's intentions. She smiled and asked, "Why are you not satisfied with him?" ”
Chen Juan looked at Zhang Wenyi's slightly mocking smile, and knew in her heart that it was not good, but she was indeed unwilling to accept Zhang Wenyi's arrangement.
She finally mustered up her courage and said: "The slave and maid are His Highness's people, and they swear to protect His Highness loyally, and the maid does not want to marry." ”
Zhang Wenyi smiled faintly, she could understand Chen Juan's thoughts. After all, this is the trend of ancient women looking for a home, and she may not be the kind of person who climbs high branches.
"It's not impossible to let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince accept you. Do you really think that's where you belong? Zhang Wenyi still said with a smile.
Seeing Zhang Wenyi's attitude, Chen Juan's courage was a little bigger, and she said: "The maid is His Royal Highness's person, even if she follows His Royal Highness the Prince, it will be a help from His Highness, at least it will not drag His Highness back." ”
Zhang Wenyi looked at Chen Juan and said with a smile: "Now His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has only one side concubine, and I, the crown princess, are not official." Do you think I will let you serve His Royal Highness the Crown Prince now? Do you think that with the affection of the army, His Royal Highness the Prince will treat you differently, do you think I can't think of it? ”
Looking at Zhang Wenyi's smiling face, Chen Juan knew that she had no hope. Her two questions had clearly guessed her thoughts, and she really couldn't figure out how this girl could be so cunning.
Zhang Wenyi lowered her head and finished sewing the last few stitches in her hand, and folded the clothes carefully. Then he turned around and stood up from the bed, calmly walked to the basin shelf and washed his face.
Then he sat back on the edge of the bed and leaned back comfortably on the bed. Suddenly, she looked at Chen Juan with silky eyes and said, "I am also a woman, and when I didn't have a man, I also thought that a person like His Highness could not have only one woman." ”
Looking at Zhang Wenyi's sudden appearance, Chen Juan's heart couldn't help but skip a beat. After listening to Zhang Wenyi's words, she completely understood that this crown princess would never give any woman a chance.
And she also has such capital now, and the crown princess is proving it to her just now. With the crown princess's current capital, even if she climbed into the prince's bed, she would have a way to take the prince away from her, thinking of this, Chen Juan couldn't help but hang her head.
Zhang Wenyi saw that the heat was almost over, so she put away her coquettishness.
She sat up from the bed and said solemnly, "Do you know what is the stupidest thing about a woman?" ”
Chen Juan is now completely convinced of this woman who is one year younger than herself, she shook her head honestly and did not speak.
Zhang Wenyi told her: "The stupidest thing about a woman is that she always wants to prove that she is better than others, and she always uses her man to prove it." ”
Seeing Chen Juan looking at her with a pair of beautiful big eyes and puzzled, Zhang Wenyi continued: "Take you as an example, you are bent on marrying the prince. Why is that? How much do you know about the Prince? Do you know what kind of clothes he likes to wear and what flavors of food he eats? Maybe you don't think it's important, you think the prince just needs to like you. Have you ever thought that there are thousands of women in the world, and a person like the crown prince who was born to have the women he wants at will, why should he spoil you alone? ”
Chen Juan bit her lip and didn't dare to speak, Zhang Wenyi seemed to see through her mind, and sneered: "Do you think you are beautiful enough?" ”
Chen Juan didn't dare to answer this sentence, because she had already thought of the experience of the woman in front of her in the Changsheng Nunnery. Not only does she have a peerless and stunning face, it is said that His Majesty stayed in the Eternal Temple for three days because he was obsessed with her body.
Even so, when His Majesty realized the crisis, he decisively chose to give up on her and let Princess Pingyang Zhao put her to death.
For men, no matter how beautiful a woman is, no matter how difficult it is to give up, they can still be given up in the end. Because there are so many choices for men like them, and so is His Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
Where Zhang Wenyi was sitting at the moment, he let out a long sigh and said, "If I had a choice, I would not have married His Highness." ”
Chen Juan didn't speak, just listened quietly.
Zhang Wenyi looked at her, smiled reluctantly, and said: "I don't know how long I can last, maybe one day I will fight and fight like other women, in order to win a little more favor from His Royal Highness the Prince." In the end, it became something that even I hated and spurned. ”
Chen Juan asked timidly: "Wouldn't it be okay to marry that barbarian?" ”
Zhang Wenyi looked at Chen Juan's eyes and said seriously: "I can't be sure about the future, I only know that if you marry him now and marry him in the future, there is a difference." ”
Chen Juan asked, "What's the difference?" ”
Zhang Wenyi said with a smile: "Marry him now, you are a husband and wife in distress." No matter how prosperous he is and you are old and decrepit in the future, there will always be a place for you in his heart. If he really soars, you are just tending to be inflammatory, and in his heart you are no different from any woman. ”
Chen Juan asked again: "How can His Highness assert that he can soar?" ”
Zhang Wenyi said appreciatively: "You got to the point in this sentence. Because the current prince needs people, and I also need people. As long as we want, chickens and dogs can ascend to heaven. ”
Although Chen Juan didn't understand why the crown prince and the crown princess needed people, she could understand that it was not difficult to promote someone in the status of the crown prince and the crown princess.
Zhang Wenyi said with a smile: "Although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and I are both short of people, we will never choose mediocre talents. Which general has the ability to do it, and it is the person that the prince and I need. ”
Chen Juan looked at Zhang Wenyi suspiciously, not knowing how she could see that this barbarian was capable.
Zhang Wenyi didn't want to explain it so clearly, she still needed to see what Chen Juan could do. If she can't meet her requirements, she won't hand over a talent like Ja Jie to Chen Juan.
