Chapter 184: A Delaying Tactic
The next day, when the first rays of golden light fell into the house through the window, Zhuang Shaoyou, who was used to getting up early, slowly opened his eyes and wanted to get up, but he felt as if he was entangled by something, and when he looked down, it turned out that he was entangled by the pair of twin sisters left and right, and suddenly he couldn't cry or laugh! These two girls are really persistent!
However, judging from the complete clothes of the three people, there must have been no major moves last night!
Zhuang Shaoyou gently took the arm of the second daughter wrapped around him and sat up, and as a result, the two sisters also woke up.
When the two daughters saw Zhuang Shaoyou get up, they all hurriedly got up and got out of bed, and one of them also said: "General, wait a minute, the slave maid will go to wash her face!" ”
Zhuang Shaoyou didn't refuse, nodded slightly, got up and walked towards the yard, moved his hands and feet slightly, checked the wound healing, it seems to be not bad, the wound that cracked yesterday did not deteriorate, Zhang Zhongjing's medicine really has a miraculous effect, it is estimated that it will be completely cured in another three or five days!
"General, the water is here, wash your face!"
Zhuang Shaoyou asked while washing his face, "What's your name?" Is it sister or sister? ”
The maid said shyly: "The slave maid is called Ruyu! It's my sister! Sister, her name is Ruhua! ”
Zhuang Shaoyou, who was washing his face, "Poof! He squirted out loud and laughed.
Ruyu blushed and said angrily: "Does the general think the name of the slave is very ugly? ”
Zhuang Shaoyou shook his head and smiled: "It's not hard to hear, it's very good!" ”
Ruyu pouted and asked, "Then general, what are you laughing at?" ”
Zhuang Shaoyou didn't know how to explain to her for a while, but at this moment, Ruhua came in, holding a big wooden box in her hand, put it on the table, gently opened the lid of the box, took out a few simple and exquisite meals from it, and said softly: "General, let's have breakfast!" ”
Zhuang Shaoyou took the dry towel handed over by Ruyu, wiped it vigorously on his face, and then sat down at the table and prepared to eat!
"Like a flower, like a jade, a good name!"
Ruhua was slightly blessed: "It's good if the general likes it, the slave hopes that the general also likes our two sisters!" ”
Zhuang Shaoyou didn't know how to answer, so he had to divert the topic and said: "Like a flower and a jade, come, eat together!" ”
The two daughters all looked at Zhuang Shaoyou with resentment, Zhuang Shaoyou was helpless, so he had to pretend not to see it and bury his head in eating!
…………
Early in the morning, Sun Qian came to Zhuang Shaoyou's courtyard.
"General, this is a letter from Mr. Xun to you, Mr. Xun said that it is inconvenient for him to come, please forgive me!"
Zhuang Shaoyou looked at Sun Qian with some doubts, but he didn't ask, Xun You is a smart person, there must be his reason, although he couldn't think through it for a while, but he didn't have to care too much, he just wanted to take the letter, but he retracted his hand again.
Sun Qian suddenly understood, and directly opened the letter and said: "General, there are only eight words on Mr. Xun's letter: The emperor star will fall, and the plan to delay the army!" ”
Zhuang Shaoyou was shocked when he heard this, Xun You also said that the emperor star is about to fall, it seems that Liu Hong is really dying! But what does this delaying tactic mean?
Seeing that Zhuang Shaoyou was a little puzzled, Sun Qian explained: "General, Mr. Xun may be worried that the emperor will summon the general!" That's why I came up with this suggestion! The subordinates thought that the general should call him sick immediately! ”
Zhuang Shaoyou suddenly realized, too, if Liu Hong summoned himself into the palace, would he go or not? Pretending to be sick is a good trick!
Sun Qian stepped forward and said, "General, why don't you just announce to the outside world that the old injury last night has recurred, it is very serious, and you have to let the whole city know as soon as possible, why don't we go and invite Dr. Zhongjing?" ”
Zhuang Shaoyou nodded lightly and shook his head lightly: "Doctor Zhongjing is an upright person, it seems a bit difficult for him to lie for us!" ”
Sun Qian smiled and said, "Don't worry, general, this matter will be handed over to his subordinates!" Guaranteed! ”
Zhuang Shaoyou glanced at Sun Qian, nodded slightly in agreement, and as for how Sun Qian fooled Zhang Zhongjing, he didn't bother to pay attention!
Last night's auction turmoil quickly spread in Luoyang City, all kinds of versions flew all over the sky, at the same time, I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, Zhuang Shaoyou's old injury recurred when he started with the son of the Wei family last night, which was very serious! Need to stay in bed for a month! This is what Dr. Zhongjing himself said!
Zhuang Shaoyou pretended to be sick in Ronghua Mansion, but he listened to the report of his subordinates in the house.
Zhou Tian sighed and said with a smile: "General, this Luoyang City is really cold, when the general was injured before, countless courtiers and officials sent gifts and greetings, shh But who would have thought that today's general's old injury recurred, but there were many people in this house, and few people came to greet him.
Sun Qian held a thin stack of posts in his hand, and smiled: "General, this road has been known for a long time, and the general has made some friends in this Luoyang City!" Rong subordinates chattered to the general, for example, Henan Yin Wangyun sent someone to send 10 million yuan for last night's auction, and a generous gift to comfort the general's illness! There is also a post by Cao Cao, a military captain, a post by Sima Lang, oh, and a post by Zongzheng Liu Yan, saying that there were some things that I didn't have time to talk to the general about last time, and then ask the general to come over to talk about it on a certain day! ”
Zhuang Shaoyou listened with relish, anyone who dared to come to send a post at this time was generally a little sincere, but when he heard Zongzheng Liu Yan's post, he immediately frowned, the last time he invited himself to dinner, it happened that the palace was on fire, and Liu Yan drove himself out directly, for fear of affecting him, and now he is embarrassed to send the post?
"Don't go!"
Sun Qian was stunned and didn't say anything, the general seemed to have a lot of opinions about this Liu Yan!
Rong Hua stepped forward and said: "General, four treasures were actually auctioned at the auction yesterday, this morning Lord Yin of Henan sent 10 million yuan of auction money to the house, and the Wei family also sent 15 million yuan of auction money, and 10 million yuan is being raised and sent back in a few days!" ”
Zhuang Shaoyou nodded slightly and said, "It's okay! Sunday, what conditions did Jian Shuo promise last night? ”
Zhou Tian hurriedly stepped forward and said: "General, my subordinates are in charge of their own decisions and promise to give 50 million money to that Jianshuo!" Please, general! ”
Zhuang Shaoyou was a little surprised, but he quickly regained his composure, Cai Yan, the daughter-in-law, is really a loser! If every daughter-in-law is so able to toss, she really can't afford to raise it! However, he waved his hand at Zhou Tianyi and said: "Brother Zhantian, this matter has nothing to do with you, it is General Ben's insistence!" Besides, some things are not a matter of more money and less money, and any problem that can be solved with money is not called a problem! By the way, send the 25 million money sent by Lord Wang and the Wei family to Jian Shuo quickly, and say that the other half is raising it! You can't give him so much money at once! also counted on him to delay the emperor in the palace! If you give it to him, you might turn around and deal with us! ”
Zhou Tianyi arched his hand and said: "What the general said is very true! ”
At this moment, a guard hurriedly ran in, knelt down on one knee and saluted: "General, no, someone is in the palace!" ”
When everyone heard this, they were shocked, but then they looked at each other and smiled, and acted very tacitly.
Soon, a eunuch entered the Rong Mansion with two Yu Linwei and asked in a cold voice: "The emperor has an order to announce that Jinwuzhuang Shaoyou will meet you!" ”
Rong Hua stepped forward and said flatteringly: "Father-in-law, General Zhuang, his old injury recurred last night and he is bedridden!" ”
When the eunuch heard this, he immediately frowned: "Presumptuous!" The emperor dared to prevaricate when he summoned him, could he not resist the decree? ”
Ronghua was not annoyed, stepped forward, took out a heavy bag from his arms, quietly stuffed it to the eunuch, and said flatteringly: "Father-in-law, the general, he is indeed bedridden, I don't believe that my father-in-law can go and investigate it himself!" The general's injuries were confirmed by Dr. Zhongjing himself! ”
The eunuch weighed the bag in his hand, it seemed to be quite heavy, hesitated slightly, and said, "Let's go, take our family in and have a look!" ”
Zhuang Shaoyou was lying on the couch, his upper body was **, his entire back was wrapped in bandages, and the room was filled with a pungent smell of herbs, the eunuch entered the house and was smoked by the sudden smell of herbs, and suddenly frowned, covered his nose with his sleeves and walked to the side of the couch, looked at Zhuang Shaoyou, who was tightly wrapped in bandages, and said: "Untie the bandages, let our family see if there is really an injury!" ”
Ronghua hurriedly persuaded on the side: "The father-in-law can't do it!" Dr. Zhongjing finally bandaged it, but if it is opened, it will deteriorate when it is windy! ”
The eunuch snorted coldly: "Seeing is believing!" If you can't see the wound, our family is not at ease! Why are you prevaricating? Don't you want to deceive the king? ”
Everyone shook their heads and sighed when they heard this, and the private doctor of the Rong Mansion next to him hurriedly stepped forward and began to carefully untie the bandage, one after another, the deeper and deeper red began to appear, and it was oozing blood, which looked very seeping, and when it reached the last layer, the bandage had been completely attached to the wound, and the doctor turned around to look at the eunuch, which meant that it had to be completely lifted?
The eunuch hesitated for a moment and said, "Open it all!" ”
The doctor had to carefully open the last layer of bandages when he heard the order, and at this moment, Zhuang Shaoyou, who was asleep, let out a "Wow! ~", the people in the room were startled, and the doctor was so frightened that he quickly stopped and looked back at the eunuch.
Ronghua hurriedly stepped forward and took out a bag to stuff it over, and said, "Father-in-law, you also saw it with your own eyes!" That's true! The wound burst when the general was working with the son of the Wei family last night, and then the emperor arrived, which caused the bandaging to be untimely, so it became what it is now! When the general came back last night, he fainted and fell to the ground, unconscious! ”
The eunuch touched the bag in his hand, looked at Zhuang Shaoyou's devastated back, gritted his teeth, and said: "Our family didn't mean to embarrass you, you don't know, the emperor almost demolished the West Garden when he went back last night, and our family can't help it!" That's it! Let's go back like this and report it truthfully! As for what the emperor will do, it has nothing to do with our family! ”
Ronghua said carefully: "Thank you, father-in-law! Father-in-law, let's go! ”
