Chapter 111: Don't do it, don't do it
"Lord Wang, I heard that you are generous and benevolent, and love the people like a son. Although I am a woman, I respect you as a wise man. Therefore, I plan to donate all the silver taels I have earned in the past few years, a total of five million taels, to the Shu army, which will be used to strengthen the army and increase the troops and fill the treasury. "I didn't expect Chen Jiaren, as a woman, to have such a mind and bearing, and I immediately looked at her.
He was also very surprised, he was very moved by this gesture of the beautiful woman, and praised her for her feat of worrying about the country and the people. For the first time in history, Chen Jiajia was specially appointed as the lord of Junning County, gave her a token of free access to the palace, and allowed her to live in the palace for a long time.
The "Qingben Beauty" store has opened a number of branches in Shudi, and the beauty has been busy with the opening of the branch in Chengdu during this time. That's why you were able to meet me on the street. I invited her to stay with me in the palace, and she readily agreed.
I haven't seen her for two years, and the beauty is more charming than before. Not only that, she is becoming more and more calm and introverted, exuding the charm of a mature woman. She takes care of all kinds of business affairs in an orderly manner. Managing people is also rewarding and punishing, and everyone respects her.
With her support, I prepared a thick dowry for Zhang Yan and gave her a beautiful scenery to marry into the Huan family. Although Zhang Yan is not a wife, she is just a concubine, but such a decent concubine is rare. It was not in vain that she went down the mountain with me, and she was a master and servant for many years.
After Zhang Yan got married, she would occasionally go back to the palace and walk around. It's just that she's really different from before. In the past, she was timid and cautious, and she was careful in everything she did, for fear that something would go wrong. But now, her head is raised proudly, and every time she comes to my Youlan Garden, she is very arrogant. It's a bit mean to support the sisters she used to work with. Yun Duo, who has always been straightforward, stomped his feet angrily: "Isn't it just to be a concubine?" As for being so arrogant! ”
I looked at Yun Duo's stupid appearance and asked her, "Do you also want to be like Zhang Yan and find a wishful husband to marry?" ”
"If I want to marry, I will marry the only one in my heart, if I am asked to be a concubine, I am naturally unwilling." She blushed and said.
"Yunduo, after this period of time, I will also hurry up your marriage!" I say.
"Sister, don't marry anyone casually, Yunduo has someone in his heart!" She was in a hurry and blurted out.
"I naturally know who my cloud likes in my heart, don't worry! Sister calls the shots for you! I quipped her. ”
This time with the beautiful woman, her temperament has changed greatly, and she is like two people like the parsley who was born in the dust. The girl who used to be smug is now quiet and full of worries.
I asked her about her experience in the past two years, and she said that Fengxian County is now occupied by Liu Yu's people, and if she wants to run a good business, she needs to deal with many people, and it is precisely because of this that she has shifted the focus of her business to Shudi.
"Do you know Liu Yu?" She asked me.
"Yes, why did you suddenly ask me that?" I asked her.
"I heard that once upon a time he had a wife named Zang Qing'er. I remembered that when you were in the Chunxiang Pavilion, wasn't that the name also the same, so I asked you. ”
"I don't know him enough, we ...... between us"
"I heard that Zang Qing'er is dead, and now there is only Xia Yunyun by the side of the King of Shu in this world, am I right?" She had her back to me and I couldn't see the expression on her face.
"Why did you suddenly ask about this, Pretty Woman?"
"No, I'm just asking, don't you mind." She turned around and took my hand affectionately: "Life is not easy, as long as you live, it's better to be with the person you like, right, Qing'er?" ”
"You're right, county lord." I smiled in agreement.
Liu Yu's sphere of influence is now getting bigger and bigger, and I heard that the Jiangning area has been owned by him. Liu Yi, the former Jiangning Taishou, was arrogant and contemptuous of the imperial court, and was dismissed and beheaded, and the nine clans were scattered.
Liu Yu's ambition has reached the point of infinite expansion, and his iron hooves step on Sima Xiuzhi in the south and cross the Qinling Mountains in the north, to the point that no one can defeat him.
Now that his eyes have been fixed on Shudi, a place where soldiers must fight, he must have smelled the smell of danger. During this time, he became extremely agitated and often stayed up all night.
I watched as his hair was half white, and his original straight body was gradually losing its majesty. My heart hurts indescribably.
"Is it too late now?" I asked him.
"Qing'er, I'm afraid." He said.
"What are you afraid of? Are you afraid of his retaliation? I asked.
"I'm afraid of losing." He said. "If that day does come and I lose, do you know what I'm afraid of?" He asked.
"Afraid of what?"
"I'm afraid I won't be able to protect you anymore! If I die, the world is left with you, what will you do? He hugged my face, and his loving eyes were about to sink into my bone marrow.
"No, if you die one day, I'll go with you. I won't live alone! I threw myself into his arms and hugged him tightly.
"Qing'er, let's escape! Just like you used to go to a secluded valley, find a place off the beaten track and hide. I don't want any country, any king, I just want you, okay? "At this point, the indulgence, which has always been as hard as steel, cried like a child." From the beginning, I only wanted you, but step by step, why did it become the situation it is today! ”
"There's no going back! After all, we were wrong! Ke Long'er is not wrong, Xing'er is not wrong, and the people of the entire palace are not wrong. What will happen to them if we are gone? ”
"You're right, we can't go." He muttered.
I will leave a letter to Liu Yu. I'll go and beg him, and I'll throw in the towel. I gave him the entire land of Shu, and I only begged him to spare the lives of the whole family and you. He said.

"Did you really hear what the prince said?" Hu Rouan asked the housekeeper Cui Jing.
"I heard it really! That's what the prince said! ”
"Confused! How difficult it is for the prince to fight today, how can he give it to others? Go quickly, and invite the general to come. Hu Rouan ordered.
"The prince is really confused! There are hundreds of thousands of people in the Shu army, but they can't compare to a woman? Hou Hui also beat his chest and paused. I really regret that I should have sunk her into the sinkhole despite the prince's opposition in the first place! ”
"The prince is a person with a strong and weak personality, and he was able to bear the king of Shu back then, and you also know the reason. If it weren't for the hard work of a few of you, plus Mrs. Zang's sake, how could he take on the heavy responsibility? Hu Rouan asked rhetorically.
"How's that to be? I have worked hard for most of my life for the great cause, how can I give up at this time? Hou Hui said: "Niangniang, it's better for us to keep doing it......
"What do you mean?"
Hou Hui made a head-killing move.
"When the time comes, let the prince inherit the king of Shu, and the Shu army will obey the orders of the mother, what do you think?" Hou Hui said.
Hu Rouan fell silent, and after a long time, she said: "The only way to do this now is to take one step at a time." ”
"As long as the mother gives her an order, you will go to the soup and the fire, and you will not give up!" Hou Hui expressed his loyalty to Hu Rou'an.
