Chapter 39: How the Sycophants Came About
"You let go of me, Duan Chuyi, don't think that if you save me, you can do whatever you want to me, this girl also has a temper!" Su Liuyin struggled and said.
"Laughing with a bunch of reckless people, what a system!" Duan Chuyi stopped and looked at Su Liuyin and said coldly.
"Duan Chuyi, don't think that you can look down on people if you are the son of the world, do you know that Cai Jing, the traitor of the Northern Song Dynasty, who was called the "head of the six thieves", was in power for a while, looked down on the society, and did not have the right way in his heart, and followed Wang Mang's self-reliance as the commonplace, and followed Cao Cao's self-reliance as the Duke of Wei. After Song Qinzong ascended the throne, he dismissed the traitor Cai Jing and exiled him to Lingnan, this traitor was an official and corrupt, so he went to Lingnan with several cars of gold and silver treasures, but he never thought that no one sold him a grain of grain all the way from Kaifeng to Changsha, and finally starved to death in a broken temple in the south of Changsha City. Su Liuyin said as she broke free of her wrist and turned around and walked forward.
The corners of Duan Chuyi's mouth couldn't help but rise slightly, and he thought: This woman really knows astronomy and geography, why doesn't she know anything about female virtues, starving to death, this woman is really interesting.
……
"Miss, their corpses were thrown into the river, saying that there were too many corpses piled up, and there was still a long way to go, so there was no way to bury them!" Aunt Qing said slightly apologetically when she saw Su Liuyin.
"I already know, let's have a good family to bury, we can do everything we can do!" Su Liuyin said lightly.
She was secretly sad again: Pity them for leaving like this, and for a while I remembered many things in my heart, those fresh lives were still so young, they were just teenagers, how scared they were at that time! He also hated those assassins so much, and if he was lucky enough to catch these bad guys one day, he would definitely avenge them!
Aunt Qing looked at her young lady, and thought of Shen Qingying's demeanor, she only hoped that they were safe!
"Miss, Mrs. Cao sent someone to invite you, but you weren't there, so she replied to her that she would wait for you to go back!" Qu'er said while bringing the tea to Su Liuyin's hand.
Su Liuyin wondered why this Mrs. Cao invited me again, was there something important that she had to solve? As if he didn't have any ability, he said, "I know, I'll go when I rest for a while, where is Xing'er?"
"I said I was looking for you, Miss, but I haven't come back yet!" Qu'er said and went to sort out the things on the case.
Su Liuyin lazily finished drinking tea, sat idly for a while, explained a few words to Aunt Qing, and then walked towards Mrs. Cao's residence, thinking: I have only seen a few glances at this Mrs. Cao's Yu, about forty years old, beautiful appearance, no fat powder, thin body, slightly sickly, and not too much intersection, only met a few times at the dinner table, and did not say much, and then did not see her again when he ate, I heard Cao Youguang say that she was not in good health, so she ate in the room, and she couldn't say a few words when she saw it. Why are you looking for me now?
Before I knew it, I had already walked to the door, and after lingering for a while, I knocked lightly on the door.
The door was opened, and I saw a girl about seventeen or eighteen years old, with bright eyes and bright teeth, and saluted her slightly: "Miss Su, you are here, Madame is waiting for you!" ”
Su Liuyin thought that this girl was really smart, and she could be regarded as a beautiful girl, but she should be married at this age! Could it be that Mrs. Cao's daughter is not successful, thinking about it is not right, looking at this dress, it should be her maid!
"Lan'er, but Miss Su is here! Please! A weak voice from inside the room interrupted Su Liuyin's thinking, such a weak voice sounded a little sick, but it made people not tired of listening to it.
"Madame, exactly! Rest there! Lan'er, let's invite Miss Su in! Lan'er said and retreated to the side of the door.
He said with a smile in his eyebrows: "Miss Su, please come in quickly!" ”
Su Liuyin slowly entered the house, first looked around, clean and elegant, the furniture was very simple, and the incense was also fresh and smelly.
I saw Yu lying on the bed with a pale face, and when he saw Su Liuyin, he struggled to get up from the bed.
Seeing this, Su Liuyin hurriedly greeted her and said, "Mrs. Cao, lie down quickly!" ”
Lan'er put the medicine pillow behind Yu's, and Yu took a long breath and said, "I've long wanted to talk to Yin'er, but my body is not angry!" ”
Su Liuyin saluted slightly and said with a smile: "Yin'er also wanted to come to visit her aunt, but she never looked for an opportunity!" ”
Yu smiled and pulled Su Liuyin's hand and said: "Yin'er is even my heart, and she looks like this, I'm afraid that the women in this Gusu City are not in a hurry Yin'er!" The first time I saw Yin'er, I was already shocked, and I didn't dare to talk to you! It's a pity that the little sister left early and couldn't see Yin'er, if she did, she would be happy! I can't do it anymore, so I invited you over! Although it is troublesome, I hope Yin'er will not dislike my old wife! ”
Su Liuyin saw that there was kindness between the words of the Yu family, so she sat on the edge of the bed and said with a smile: "What kind of nonsense is my aunt talking about, Yin'er is so good, but she will be ashamed to death!" ”
"Yi'er is a good child, I have lived most of my life, Fu Lu is shallow, and I have not had a son and a half daughter, and I have long regarded Yi'er as my own child! This child is a good child, but it's a pity that he lost his mother early, and his father is also far away at the border all the year round and can't see each other, so he has been lonely since he was a child! Our Yin'er is so smart and clever, Yi'er will definitely be happy! As he spoke, he touched Su Liuyin's sideburns dotingly.
Su Liuyin listened, and remembered Duan Chuyi's cold appearance on weekdays, and she also understood how lonely she should be without her parents since she was a child! Thinking of her parents again, what would they do without her?
"Auntie, Yin'er knows!" Su Liuyin said with a smile in her eyebrows, and she was adorable in her eyebrows.
"My body is not good, I don't want to suffer from the bumps in the road and tire others, Youguang insists on accompanying me, I'm afraid that my days are numbered!" Yu Shi let go of Su Liuyin's hand as he spoke, covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief, and coughed violently.
Su Liuyin hurriedly stroked her back to help her breathe, and Yu spread out her handkerchief only to see a cloud of black blood.
Lan'er, who was on the side, hurriedly took the handkerchief and said worriedly, "Madam......"
Yu waved his hand, signaling that it was okay.
Su Liuyin said with a little worry in her eyes: "Uncle, don't say that, don't give up, when you get to the capital, you will be fine!" ”
Yu smiled weakly: "I know my body bones, I am sick, I have been sick for decades, and I can't get better!" ”
When Su Liuyin heard this, she was very emotional in her heart, the taste of being tortured by illness for decades must be very painful, so she thought about how to fork this topic, and suddenly thought about it: "Uncle, let me tell you a joke, you will be very happy when you hear it, this person should live happily, so that the illness will be cured!" ”
"Very good!" Yu looked at the woman in front of him, but he loved it more and more in his heart.
Su Liuyin nodded with satisfaction and said, "Auntie, listen well, Yin'er is about to talk!" "I thought about how I was a bit like Mr. Xiaosa, and I actually told the story!
Wang Hao, the general of the Northern Qi Dynasty of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, was a civil and military all-rounder, and was deeply loved by Emperor Wenxuan, so he was able to follow Emperor Wenxuan to go north in the ocean.
On one occasion, the army was tired during the march and repaired the night, intending to set out early the next morning. On the second day, when the morning was foggy and the figures were blurred, Wang Hao saw that the red horse in the place where he was tied last night had turned into a white horse, so he asked in confusion: "Where is my red horse?" Who stole my red horse? The soldiers didn't know, he had no choice but to ride a white horse on the road, but he didn't expect that when the sun came out, the weather became warmer, and the white horse turned back into a red horse, and Wang Hao was very happy and said: "The sun has sent my red horse back!" ”
It turned out that it was the frost that stained the red horse, and when the sun came out, the frost on the horse melted away, and the white horse turned back into a red horse!
Yu Shi smiled slightly when he heard this: "This all-round person of civil and military affairs also has such a thing!" ”
"It seems that this joke is not very funny, then Yin'er will tell you another joke" Su Liuyin said with a smile when she looked at Yu's happy face.
During the period of Song Renzong, the general Di Qing was born as a small soldier, and liked to wear a bronze mask when charging into battle, and was called "General Mian Ni", because of his outstanding military achievements, he was promoted to a privy envoy. A group of civil officials and hundreds of officials have exploded, some are jealous, some feel that he can't get on the stage, and all the dirty and smelly water is poured on him, only this great writer Ouyang Xiu desperately praised Di Qing, holding it to the ground, and then turned his pen and said: "The water is yin, the soldiers are yin, and the generals are also yin." In this way, Ouyang Xiu easily detained the flood that occurred at that time on Di Qing's head, and the Song Dynasty was heavy on literature and suppression of martial arts, the emperor and the civil official group were suspicious of Di Qing, and were demoted to Chen Zhou's general judgment, and finally became depressed and died of hatred, this invincible hero on the battlefield, I didn't expect to be killed by the civil official Ouyang Xiu.
Yu said: "This person is miserable, he died unjustly, he is really wronged!" ”
Su Liuyin bowed her hand and said, "This is not funny, change it!" ”
"Auntie, do you know how the "sycophancy" came about? ”
Yu shook his head with a smile, this Yin'er is really interesting!
In the past, when the nomads met on the steppe, they would dismount and greet each other, pat each other's buttocks, and compliment each other and say, "What a good horse!" Good horse! "That's how the sycophants came about! Haha, it's not funny! ”
Su Liuyin also hid her face and laughed when she talked about Yu, and even Lan'er on the side couldn't help laughing.
"Where did Yin'er learn these jokes, my aunt was also amused by you when she heard it!" Yu Shi touched Su Liuyi's head with a smile and petting, thinking: What a spiritual child, I haven't met him for many years, I hope Chu Yi and this girl can get along well!
"What are you laughing at, so happy!" Someone said and walked in through the door.
