Chapter 1144 This Life Can Only Be Ruthless
Outside the gate of the other garden, seeing Princess Changping's guard of honor go away, Liu turned around, raised his eyebrows and looked at Ruan Erniang, who was still slightly hanging her face and looking at Ruan Erniang, with a respectful gesture, and the corners of her lips slanted a touch of pride: "What, what I promised you, I didn't break my promise, right?" ”
Eleven Niang hurriedly laughed: "Princess Changping favors her, of course, it is difficult for the mediocre to ascend to the sky, but for Mrs., it is as easy as a snap, Mrs. does what she says, just like a gentleman among women, since she promised the concubine to help each other in the middle, how can the concubine be suspicious?" Therefore, at this time, I didn't feel how ecstatic, only Ming's heart, and the grass and ring were rewarded. But he had to look at Shu: "Because the Empress Dowager Wei fled eastward, there are many servants in the palace who are scattered, and all kinds of utensils are also missing, and the Khan King has not been in charge of the palace for a long time, and many regulations are not yet perfect, but with the power of the Khan, he will definitely dominate the world in the future, and I hope that it can last." ”
The Great Zhou royal court needs to use, although there are specific ministry supervision, some of them, such as the rouge gouache consumed by the palace female officials and low-level concubines, and even the consumables required for the preparation of concubine fat powder and incense, are actually purchased from a specific firm, and then processed by the craftsman as a supervised processing product, presented to the worship, the "lasting" expected by the eleventh mother refers to the fact that after the Turkic court re-perfects the regulations, the Luoyang Ruan family can officially be the "imperial businessman" of long-term cooperation with the court.
Of course, she didn't think that the Turks would be able to occupy Chang'an for a long time, and there would be a day when they would be called the emperor of Daming Palace, but it was the norm for merchants to look at Shu in Long, and if she was satisfied with this little benefit in front of her, it would be too inconsistent with Ruan Erniang's identity.
Liu really didn't get tired of her inches, and squinted his eyes again: "You are shrewd and have a long-term view, unlike Jiannan Chen and other businessmen, who only know how to bribe officials and eunuchs, and even Turkic generals, they don't look at Princess Changping at all, they think that in the future, when the King of Khan welcomes Da Kedun into Beijing, Princess Changping will have to give up the harem mastership, too flattery and useless, but a little negligent...... Although Ashina and Ashde's generations are married, Da Kedun's position seems unshakable, but this old system can only be applied to the barbarian period, when the Khan King really unified the world and was the lord of China, the status of Ashi De's clan, where can he deter all nobles, not to mention the Turkic Da Kedun, who only knows herding, and knows nothing about the Central Plains etiquette, how can it be enough to honor the world? ”
Eleven Niang's face was full of admiration: "How can the concubine have such foresight, but she has always admired the talent and wisdom of Princess Changping, and she is impressed by the fact that your lord's women are not weak and have eyebrows, and it is a privilege to be able to serve one or two." ”
Liu snorted lightly: "You, didn't you see the idea of speculation and profit? However, the still water flows deeply, although it can be a pillar of talent, at this time to take the initiative to work, but it will inevitably make people wary, but you are such a shallow person, the scheming is clear at a glance, your lord does not need to be everywhere embankment, your tongue will only be sycophant, but at this time you can let your lord take advantage of it, this is about to hit the right right. ”
"Concubinage is not just speculation." Eleven Niang became more and more flattering: "Although Mrs. may not be eye-catching, but the concubine body must always be a little dedicated, Luoyang Ruan has set up these new businesses in Chang'an, seventy percent of the dividends, and I hope that Mrs. is not too shallow." ”
Although Liu has the name of "second noblewoman" at this time, but the situation is chaotic, there are not too many opportunities to make huge profits, listening to Ruan Erniang's mouth, she promised such heavy profits, naturally her heart was full of joy, but her face was calm: "I can't refuse your sincerity, that's it, just like this now...... There are too many gold and silver treasures, but it has become a burden, if Erniang is not too troublesome, Mo Ruo for me to buy some land in private, not in Chang'an. ”
Of course, Eleven Niang will not be troublesome, but after taking a closer look at the meaning of Liu's words, she exclaimed: "Madame, isn't she worried......
"I'm not worried." Liu waved his hand to stop Eleven Niang's words: "I just think that it is more safe to replace it with an industry, born in troubled times, you always need to take precautions, Erniang must not speculate, the Great Zhou court, the Empress Dowager Wei can even abandon Chang'an, forced to Jinling by the Turkic soldiers, the intention is to be in the southeast corner, how can the Great Zhou Guozuo be preserved, it is nothing more than a long breath, the country changes hands, just around the corner." ”
I didn't want to talk about the current situation anymore, Liu just walked a few steps to the door, but saw that the "son-in-law of the Ruan family" just sent He Zhan out, and the two saluted each other in front of the door, as if they knew each other, regardless of the dignity and humility, she was happy in her heart, and she wanted to show her merit: "He Lang feels that this trip is worthwhile, and he won't complain about the concubine's troubles after all, right?" ”
He Zhan squinted at Liu, snorted softly, but saluted "Ruan Erniang": "In the future, He may disturb the house a lot, and I hope that the lady Haihan will be there." ”
"Ruan Erniang" was so shocked that she was at a loss, and hurriedly returned the salute, as if she was subconsciously flattering, and cautiously glanced at the face of the "husband", and finally didn't dare to greet her more, just a polite word.
"It's getting late, I don't dare to violate the curfew, so I'll go back, Brother Zhen and Ruan Niang are busy all day for you to rise up at this time, and you have to be more considerate." He Zhan said a long sentence lukewarmly to the Liu family, beckoned his hand to the private guard to take over the mount, and said "stay" to Lu Li, who had caused "Zhen Langjun" by pinching the "fake son-in-law", stepped on the saddle, and slowly walked away.
Liu was somewhat regretful, and actually took Eleven Niang's hand and teased: "I will send people to protect and send your husband back safely, Erniang Mo Ruo stays here, and I will introduce you to a few official eunuchs, but they are all wonderful people." ”
The implication of the words was not ambiguous, so panicked that "Ruan Erniang" spied on the look of the "husband" again and again, and said with a smile: "Madame is gracious, I didn't dare to resign, but I was a concubine...... It's really hard to drink, but I'm afraid it will ruin Mrs. Mood. ”
Liu Fang pushed her gently, and also glanced at the side face of "Zhen Langjun" staring at the sunset with a serious face, and snorted lightly: "Erniang and I are both ordinary hard-working, we don't need to look at people's eyes, but we can't do what we want." ”
Eleven Niang secretly snorted again and again: You can't do what you want? Even if the customs of the Great Zhou Dynasty are civilized, you can also be called the best among them, and this princess is willing to bow to the wind, and she is very "in awe".
Liu didn't know what Eleven Niang said in her heart, and she didn't embarrass her in the end: "Zhen Lang can win He Lang's favor, and it is also the luck of your husband and wife, He Lang will visit the house in the future, and Erniang can be more and more convenient, if there is a lack of things at home, you might as well open your mouth to me, He Lang can be very picky." ”
Eleven Niang will understand, this is Liu's euphemistic signal, to hurry to his house to offer courtesy to He Zhan, of course, it will not hinder the business, horizontally and vertically with Liu's family, where can I detect the organ of that house? On the contrary, she was present, and it had the effect of hiding people's eyes, so that He Zhan would inevitably be even more aggrieved and had to endure the annoyance and persecution of this woman.
She remembered that when He Zhan was leaving earlier, he stared at her quietly but meaningfully, only such a vague gesture Although only she can "have a soul", the strange thing is that she can't understand the extremely complex meaning of Qingming, like depression, like encouragement, like sadness, and a little relieved, so that she inexplicably feels that there is an extra layer of estrangement between her and Shishilang, as if there is something unspeakable, but it is not estranged from each other, in short, it is difficult to describe it in exact words.
Therefore, although it is smooth today, Eleven Niang always feels that she is haunted and not comfortable.
When they returned to their residences, they took off their disguises on their faces, and then met Lu Li, and finally they could talk happily, Eleven Niang said: "Since returning to Chang'an, reuniting with Fourteen Lang, returning to see each other in a hurry, and there is no real heart-to-heart conversation, I know that he has been persecuted a lot recently, and it is inevitable that he will act against his will, he intends to avoid it, and I can't bear to expose his sores. ”
Lu Li knew why He Zhan was so depressed, in fact, he had nothing to do with forbearance, he probably knew that his life was short, and he would survive this paragraph, and he might not even be able to wait until the Pei Zheng and his family could show their snow, but before he died, he could still be "commensurate with Wo Dan", although it was a disguise, in fact, there was no overstepping the norm, but He Zhan would feel that the creation made people feel sad and depressed, and he couldn't expose it to Wo Dan.
In fact, even he himself can't tell whether this last time is more regretful or more gratified than better.
However, at this time, he can only be light and clear, and the still water flows deeply: "Chengtai asked today, how His Royal Highness treats the fifth sister, which shows that Chengtai and I, even if we are facing victory or defeat at this time, we will inevitably worry about the future...... Fifth sister, you regard me as a brother, regard Chengtai as a brother, me and him, and have always regarded the fifth sister as better than siblings, putting aside many interests and disadvantages, we all hope that the fifth sister and His Royal Highness will not go to the ...... Righteousness and love! ”
At that time, Shi Niang had just reached Lu, and she remembered that there seemed to be a conversation with Lu Li on a similar topic, but time flew by, and this topic never seemed to be mentioned again, even if it was slightly touched, Lu Li had never been so solemn and solemn as at this time.
"In my opinion, His Royal Highness treats the fifth sister with deep affection, but the fifth sister has always had reservations about His Royal Highness, although the brother knows, the fifth sister has always been not very trusting of the relationship between men and women, not to mention that His Royal Highness is determined to be on the throne, in the power field, it seems that children are not allowed to grow up, throughout the ages, all of them are based on interests first, but the world's personnel, sometimes not only according to the law of normality, maybe there are exceptions, just like, I and Chengtai, and the fifth sister is not a blood relative, but the two generations intersect, how to deviate from the heart-to-heart of each other, you and I know that the friendship can still be better than the interests of the blood, Why doesn't the fifth sister believe that His Royal Highness and you are a husband and wife in distress, but can't live and die together? ”
"Brother Lu, you shouldn't dwell on this matter right now." Eleven Niang lowered her eyelids: "I have always known how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and I also know that it is not the best policy to draw a knife with He Ye, putting aside the interests and disadvantages, only talking about emotions, Brother Lu should know me, and I am not willing to bow down on this word, so I never give easily, I have no expectations, and I have no resentment, only in this way can I always maintain my sanity and make the right choice, I am not sure if His Royal Highness is an exception, but I know what to do in order to maintain peace of mind and not deviate from the path of the step." ”
In the final analysis, He Ye and her are not only husband and wife, but also monarchs and ministers, they are destined not to insist on staying together for life just because of their beliefs, but whether it is Pei Wudan or Liu Zaimei, there has always been a belief that cannot be tarnished with the word "feelings", such as that since they are two hearts, they should be consistent.
But this kind of belief is obviously too extravagant in this era of coexistence of wives and concubines, even when she was still Wu Dan, when she was about to marry the boudoir, she never had delusions, so she knew that He Yan was not her expectation, but she was willing to obey the family, and dedicate herself to this marriage that was destined to be carefully maintained, she knew what kind of princess His Royal Highness the crown prince needed, she knew how to become a qualified queen, one of the most basic conditions is that she could not expect the supreme and noble husband around her, and always put Qing first, However, this is the bottom line that lovers cannot compromise, so once you marry the king's wife, you can't expect the relationship to last long, and you should keep in mind that there is a difference between the monarch and the minister.
Although He Ye is not He Yan, there is no difference in his identity and status.
She needs He Ye's deep affection to help her take revenge, but she can't expect this kind of affection to be maintained forever, she knows very well that when He Ye's identity changes with the passage of time, when he becomes the Ninety-Five, his harem will definitely be full of other women, he will definitely face more trade-offs, trade-offs, and trade-offs, her weight in his mind will gradually decrease, and after taking a back seat, as a courtier, she can understand and take it for granted, provided that she has never imagined a lifetime and a couple.
She doesn't want to live with resentment and suffering, so she can't fall in love with such a person.
To follow him can only be in the righteousness of a courtier, and the emperor's wife is just a special courtier.
"Fifth sister really thinks it's more relaxed like this?" Lu Li asked, and what he got was Shi Niang's silence in response, and he finally smiled: "If you think this is better, I can rest assured." ”
As if relieved, there was really no concern, but his smile made Shi Niang's heart sink down, and the inexplicable pain clenched her chest, as if she had a premonition that she was finally going to lose a crucial thing, and she didn't even dare to investigate the source of the premonition, which hindered how cruel the foreshadowing.
"It's come to the most urgent moment, we really can't be distracted, fifth sister, we need to sort out many deployments again, and strive to make no mistakes in any link." Lu Li said.
And before his words fell, He Yan sent a piece of good news, Tiger Prison Pass, successfully controlled by Henan Yin, and now the garrison has been replaced by Wang Hengshi.
