Chapter 4 Chapter 4 Examination Questionnaire Curtain Man (2)

So I started to wander around the southeast with Meng Yin, selling silk from the east to the south, and selling famous tea and cotton cloth from the south to the east, because I was the only businessman who dared to go out of the south in recent years, and the goods I sold were authentic. The merchants in the east recognized me, and the ones in the south couldn’t get through in King Guangyi’s territory. However, as Yugang’s family slowly encroached on King Guangyi’s territory, I entered more business. I remember the first time I handed over money to Yugang's family, his eyes were a little disbelieving, and then he looked happy, and Duan Yuerong was also smiling.

I hand over a batch of silver to Prince Yugang every year. I don’t know if he has enough money. In short, he rarely asks me for more money except asking me to report to his son. Later, Duan Yuerong told me that every year as long as Pay a fixed amount of money, and I can use the rest freely as long as it is not used to help other heroes. I have my own business, and every time I have the opportunity to see him, I will repeatedly mention the words "intent to fight". There is no need for the Xi'an massacre. Only by restraining the subordinates with fair and strict military discipline can all the ministries be sincerely obedient. At the same time, I hope that the Yugang Duan family can treat the Han people well. I don’t know how much they have listened to it, but the Yugang family’s rebels have gradually spread the reputation of the rebel army in Nanzhao, and many villages even opened their villages privately to welcome the arrival of the Yugang family. .

Prince Yugang occasionally invites me and Duan Yuerong to discuss the current affairs of the world and the war strategy against King Guangyi. I always talk very little. I'm just good at business, military administration is really not my strong point, not to mention the rules of the Han people, women in the harem are never allowed to participate in politics, and the faces of the two of them turned pale. Gradually, Prince Yugang seemed to accept me as a chicken that can only lay golden eggs, and later sent me a wizard to make me medicine, thinking it was to cure the poison that was inseparable from my body, every time I poured it out, Duan Yuerong found out, and grabbed my hand fiercely, her gaze was as sharp as a falcon, and it hurt like a knife, I smiled lightly and said: "Ms. ? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Duan Yuerong and I know each other too well, he knows that coercion is useless to me, it will only make me reject him even more, not to mention that I have been involved in too many things with him, and he and his father also need to rely on my business experience Mind, so he could only slowly let go of his hand, looking bleak. On February 2nd of the fourth year of Yongye, a good day when the dragon raised its head, Chuhua gave birth to Mengzhao's favorite son, Meng Huashan. A Tianshan snow lotus, together with the thousand-year-old ginseng bestowed by Duan Gang, saved the frail Huashan's life, but the first painting fell into a severe coma. The sad Meng Zhao sat on the bedside of the first painting every night, a straight and strong man But tears flowed down her face all day long, and she called her name foolishly, and everyone who heard it shed tears, even Duan Yuerong, who had always been hard-hearted, sighed.

Meng Zhao joined forces with Duan Gang, but as long as there is an opportunity, he will take care of all the food and daily life of Chuhua himself. In the sixth year of Yongye, at Huashan's birthday party, Chuhua who was in a coma suddenly opened his eyes, just as all of us Excitedly preparing to set off firecrackers to celebrate, the doctor shook her head and said that it was a flashback. Chuhua's eyes were not so beautiful. She looked at Huashan and the red-eyed Mengzhao with a smile, and stopped breathing after hearing Huashan call mother. Meng Zhao almost died, and all the precious medicinal materials I brought for the first painting were supplied to Meng Zhao. We cried and tried to persuade Meng Zhao. Three months later, Meng Zhao with a bleak face held the first painting The ashes of the painting and the weak Huashan returned to Banzhou.

This year, I met Qi Fang by accident in Bozhou. I pretended not to know him, and he smartly pretended not to know me, and then quietly entered Junji. I promoted him all the way, and only then did I know that, Yuan Feiguo was really imprisoned by Yuan Qingjiang in the dark palace for three years because of stealing the fish talisman and killing his aunt. My elder brother was also demoted to a commoner because of this incident. The hut with bamboo fence really lived a life of picking chrysanthemums and east fences as the stick said. As for me, maybe I know too many secrets of the original Qingjiang, maybe it's Qiu Laodao's criticism that I can't let me fall into the hands of other lords, or I really ordered to kill Princess Baishang in order to force, It turned out that Fei Bai was unable to protect himself, so he asked the Dark God to tell me to run away. Xiao Fang wanted to sneak into the dark palace after recovering, but he never succeeded. Later, there were rumors in the world that I was kidnapped to Bashu, and they chased me to where Dou Yinghua was. In Guandi in Bashu, it was reported that I surrendered to Duan Yuerong. When he chased me to Meiying Villa, I disappeared again. He almost fell into the hands of Sima Lian. Later, I met Zhang Demao, who kept saying that I was dead. Huang Quan, but Qi Fang's eldest brother is still alive, but he has been drugged in the water and wine given to him. Qi Fang is a student of Jingu Zhenren, who has a lot of research on drugs, so he pretends to be fascinated, and then escapes by taking the opportunity. He lived a life of wandering in the rivers and lakes, and quietly searched for his elder brother along the way until he met me.

I think Qi Fang and I escaped from Yuan's house, but we still couldn't escape our fate? I told Qi Fang about my situation, but I didn't expect Qi Fang to stay by my side heartily, and he never thought of going back to Yuan's house. He said disdainfully, "I only stayed in Yuan's house for the sake of Miss." In the seventh year of Yongye, the Deng family bandits in the Central Plains were wiped out by Zhang Zhiyan, so I established a branch in the Central Plains as I wished. In that year, Prince Yugang also fought back to Bozhou, reoccupied the land in central Guizhou, and joined forces with King Guangyi to fight against each other. He accepted my proposal and established the name of the country as Dali.

On the eighth day of June in the seventh year of Yongye, Prince Yugang ascended the throne, and Duan Yuerong was granted the title of crown prince. At the same time, he married Jiaxina from Buzhong's family as his first wife. On the day of the wedding, I was also preparing goods in Bozhou, ready to be shipped to the first family in the Central Plains, so I did not go to their wedding, but gave a generous gift. That night, I fell asleep and woke up in the middle of the night , but saw Duan Yuerong standing in front of my bed with a stern face, I was scared to death, he didn't speak, just lay down, hugged me tightly and passed the night.

Every year in the future, he will always tell me proudly how many villages he has occupied and how many wives he has married. He probably married all the ethnic minorities in southern China. At the beginning, I could listen to him patiently. See how he settles these many wives, as well as the military and political mess, interject a few words, tease him a few times, just like before in Jun's village, and then fall asleep in his arms. But later, as my business got bigger and bigger, I became more and more busy, and started to set up the main number in Jingkou and Guazhou. The two people wanted to be separated from each other, and the chances of seeing each other became less and less.

In the seventh year of Yongye, I asked someone to present Erhai pearls to the most beautiful woman in Wuyue, Luo Yuhua, the famous wife of Huadong in Dongting. She was so happy that she introduced her husband, Zhang Zhiyan, a warlord of Dongwu. Although Zhang Zhiyan inherits his father's title to guard the southeast, he is quite smart. The Dou family and the Yuan family send hundreds of lobbyists to lobby him every year, but he never makes a move. He just guards the southeast area. To intervene in the battle between the two families, he is also very elegant, and he is a master of poetry. I have met him quite late, and he intends to recruit me to be his staff. The two declined politely, and the two called them brothers, and the relationship became closer.

In the past few years, he has spent much less time with Duan Yuerong than when he was in Junjiazhai, but he seems to have gradually forgotten the fact that he is inseparable from life to life. Several times, I got entangled with him so much that our clothes were disheveled, and I kept pressing his restless mouth, and he left me gasping for breath, but just hugged me tightly and wouldn't let me back away. Later, Xiyan, who kept bumping into her, became a good reminder of abstinence. After so many years, Duan Yuerong has more or less developed feelings for Xiyan. She hasn't seen Xiyan for a while, but she can check her homework with a pleasant face and hug her. Hold her and give her some lessons in dominance. In the first two years when Prince Yugang celebrated his birthday, Duan Yuerong would definitely bring Xiyan back with him. King Dali also liked the lively and bold Xiyan very much. The only complaint that came and went was the same sentence: It's a pity that she doesn't look like Rong'er. And every time Xiyan returns to Bozhou, she will definitely visit Huashan, who is sallow and emaciated, and stays in bed all year round. The first time I met Huashan, she pulled Huashan to climb a tree, but Huashan was finally supported by the girl, and moved to the bottom of the tree panting. Xiyan had already gone up the tree and down the ditch to catch him A big green caterpillar and a big black scorpion. Xi Yan solemnly told Hua Shan to watch the scorpion eat the caterpillar, the big caterpillar twisted in pain, and the green body fluid splashed onto Hua Shan's yellow and thin face, Hua Shan's small face had already turned black. And my big baby is still talking about her plan vigorously: Later, I will catch a poisonous snake with colorful spots, a big centipede, let the centipede eat this big scorpion, let the poisonous snake eat the centipede, this poisonous snake It is the poison king, and finally let Huashan eat the poisonous snake again. This is called fighting poison with poison, and Huashan will be cured immediately. While talking about dancing and dancing, the faces of the girls on both sides of Huashan turned pale, and one of them vomited. It was the first time for Huashan to take such a unique biology class, and it was also the first time to see the method of using poison to fight poison with his own eyes. Especially when he thought of eating snakes like the big black scorpion in front of him, he was excited, panting and narrowing his eyes. Turn it over, and poke it over at once. Huashan fainted for two days, scaring us to the point of disorientation. Meng Zhao didn't close his eyes for two days, and almost went blind from crying. Xiyan's small face was miserable, and she answered for an hour in a rare twitch: Brother Yange said that the Poison King was made in this way, wouldn't Huashan recover after eating the Poison King? Since then, Xiyan, who has always been mischievous and lawless, will coax Huashan like an adult when she sees Huashan. Every time she starts with three sentences. The first sentence is: Your son is free! The second sentence is: have you taken medicine? The third sentence is: My father found some xx medicine for you again, I have already prepared it, you must try it. However, the turmoil of the Poison King did not frighten Huashan, on the contrary, it made him remember Xiyan from now on, and every festival he would look up at his yellow face and ask: Is Princess Xiyan coming this year? Later, the King of Dali also invited me to go with him, and I still showed off in men's clothing, but he treated me better and better, and often asked Duan Yuerong to bring me and Xiyan some rare furs, pearls, jade ornaments and other things for women. After eight years of fighting, the political and war trends have obviously favored the Dali Duan family. The King of Dali has hinted many times that my return to Yeyu is just around the corner. , I always play sloppy and prevaricate, Duan Yuerong's face will be clear and cold, and his eyes will be gloomy. Like me, he is also considered to be twenty-four "old". In ancient times, whether he was a Han or a minority, as a healthy man, he should be the father of groups of children. However, none of them seemed to have given birth to a son or a daughter for him. Sometimes I curiously asked him why he didn't have a child. "Children are all devils," he said to me seriously, his gaze drifted far away in time and space, as if he had returned to changing Xiyan's diaper all day long, and occasionally she poked her purple eyes and burst into tears , and then laughed loudly: "Everyone in the world calls me an evildoer. I simply did what they wanted. If I have no heirs, there will be no little evildoers. Besides, we have Xiyan. Although I am a woman, I am also a Nanzhao I don't care if the king is a man or a woman, she can also inherit my incense. Of course, unless..." His purple eyes glanced at me, and he lowered his body with passion: "Unless you want a child from us, Naturally, I will do my best to satisfy your wish." From then on I never brought up the subject again. I have been busy with business in the past few years, and I have kept him dusty in my mind with many past events. What happened today, why do I remember so much? Ever since I got Yoyo, every time I talked about business, Yoyo stepped forward and smiled lightly, or played a song, twisted her waist and danced, and it was indeed much easier to talk about business. "Yuyou, are you going to be eighteen this year?" I put down the tea cover, it's already the beginning of autumn, and the sky is getting a bit cold, so Yoyo thoughtfully stepped forward to add a shirt for me. "Well, Lord Jun." Youyou looked at me shyly, I looked at her shameful face, and couldn't help but sigh, Hua Mujin is dead, Jun Mowen only has Sauvignon Blanc left in this life, those of mine Concubines Ji are all fallen people who have met in the past few years. They all have indelible hurts in their hearts. They seem to see through the world in this life and don't want to leave me. What about this beautiful girl who is in her twenties?Do you also want to accompany me to die alone? I smiled lightly and took her hand: "Yuyou, you are a good girl. You have helped me through many difficulties for so many years. Although you and I have the friendship of master and servant, I also hold you in my heart." As a good friend, you are not young, if there is someone who cares, just tell me, and I will definitely host a good relationship for you." But Yoyo's face became paler and paler, and her little hands trembled: "Master Jun, don't you think there's something wrong with Yoyo?" ah? !I was tongue-tied, but Yoyo knelt down on the ground: "Master Jun is a good person, Yoyo has been with you for the rest of his life, if you think there is something wrong with Yoyo, just scold Yoyo, but please don't abandon each other." As I kowtowed desperately, seeing my forehead was red and swollen, I panicked for a long time: "Don't get me wrong, Yoyo, I really want you to be happy..." Just as they were in a mess, a voice came from Qi Fang: "Master, there is a word from the mansion that the young lady is fighting with the young master, I can't persuade you, please go back quickly." I hula sat up all of a sudden, only feeling dry mouth. God!Xiyan dares to hit the present prince. I hurriedly straightened my clothes, comforted Yoyo again, and hurried back. The North East Court finally became the domain of the Dou family. The Dou family changed the name of the country to Zhou, which was called the Later Zhou in history. After the death of Xi Zong, Dou Yinghua forced Xiao Zong to Zen at the enthronement ceremony of Xiao Zong Xuanyuan Yi, and was crowned as Zhou Shizu Yuan Emperor. Xuanyuan Yi was conferred the title of King Yu and enjoyed the courtesy from generation to generation. But very few people know that the real Xuanyuan Yi was sent out of Zhaoming Palace by the secret way on the day Xi Zong died of anger, under the behest of the Empress, by Dou Ting and Yin Shen, the eunuch's servants who were loyal to Xuanyuan. In the fifth year of Yongye, Yin Shen and I met once in Wancheng. He was full of worries about the country. Many of the five gentlemen of Luoyang who died were his classmates. Lu Bangchun also had the kindness to know him. I killed Dou's dog, got drunk that day, and went berserk on the banks of the Huaihe River, cursing Dou's family with poems. I didn't know his identity at the time, so I rescued him on the bank and returned to my mansion. On the second day, he had long disappeared. When I went to the capital to do business, he saw my business card and remembered me, so he secretly helped me get through the joints, but he never had any contact with me in secret until the tenth year of Yongye , he and Dou Ting used a bookcase to smuggle the prince out of Zhaoming Palace, and I was one of the few businessmen who dared to go to Kyoto to do business at that time, so I sent this bookcase to my house. Suddenly, all of us didn't know what to do, the prince got out of the bookcase, saw clearly that Qi Fang and I were people he didn't know, and stayed there, and immediately asked calmly at a young age: Do you know Taifu Yinshen, the Crown Prince of the Ministry of Punishment, and Taibao Dou Ting, the Crown Prince of the Ministry of Rites? I nodded, and took out a white jade pot that Yin Shen once gave me. I once privately sighed to him that a heart of ice is in the jade pot. The prince looked at the inscription on the jade pot, which was his teacher's handwriting, and immediately said that Gu is the current prince Xuanyuan Yi, and that all the country and society in Dongting are in Qing Zai's hands... I smiled first and asked if there was a certificate, the little prince took out a seal from his bulging arms, and when Xiao Fang and I knelt down, we couldn't laugh anymore. I was in danger of riding a tiger, and at the critical moment, Yin Shen came to rescue us and sent me an official document, but just to be on the safe side, I used Dou Yinghua's customs clearance certificate, and then escaped at risk, but The matter is not over yet. In order to calm people's hearts and seek to usurp the throne, Dou Yinghua naturally did not make a big statement about the prince's escape from the palace. Instead, he used a school-age child to cover up people's eyes and ears, and then sent various martial arts masters to hunt down the prince in private. It's too big, I think Meng Yin sent a letter to Duan Yuerong early in the morning, and he rushed to Guazhou to ask me about it. He met the prince immediately, and in front of me, he restored his heroic men's clothes and confessed that he was the prince of Dali in Nanzhao, and then promised to embrace the prince to ascend the throne, and then ignored my eyebrows that gradually turned upside down and promised to send New Year coins to Dali every year, etc. A series of unequal treaties. Although Xuanyuan Yi is small, he said sharply, Gu will not sign a treaty with you that would hurt the power and humiliate the country for the sake of restoration, and immediately subtracted a lot of conditions. Marry with the princess to prove the reconciliation between Dongtingyuan and Dali Yongxiu. Duan Yuerong said with a smile: "Gu believes that Prince Xuanyuan can ensure that Dongting and Dali will be reconciled, but how can Dongting stop my Dali's gold and iron soldiers?" Is this man here to negotiate?Or to bully children? My heart was on fire, Xuanyuan Yi walked up to me calmly, politely asked me for a loan, and then cut off his little hand without warning, when it was too late for us to react, Xuanyuan Yi firmly said: "Gu natural There is a way, I am willing to spend all costs to make Dongting prosperous and strong again, and I will definitely make the neighboring countries in the four directions respect my Xuanyuan royal family again, and I will make an oath with Prince Duan's blood." Duan Yuerong's eyes flashed with praise, and she praised: "Okay, when Xiyan is eighteen years old, no matter whether the crown prince is restored or not, Gu will marry Xiyan to the crown prince." I am not willing to set Xiyan's life like this, her destiny should be in her own hands, but Duan Yuerong laughed at me for being too bookish. "Who in this world can control his own destiny, let alone Xiyan, who is eighteen years old and far away, will Xuanyuan Yi be there or not?" He habitually rubbed the phoenix hairpin, bowing his head in thought . I looked at him speechlessly, thinking that this kid was probably planning some political conspiracy again. But he suddenly raised his head, gently inserted the phoenix hairpin on my head, then pressed my hands, not letting me take it off, smiled at me and looked at me for a long time and said: "Ladies' clothes look better." I was taken aback, but he embraced me: "Our daughter Xi Yan... is eight years old, Mu Jin." He rested his chin on my forehead and said in a low voice, "How long do you want me to wait?" I looked at him for a while, those purple pupils were full of anticipation and helplessness, I was about to speak, but he covered my mouth in time, and escaped my sight: "Don't say it, forget it, don't say it... ..." He raised his head again, smiled at me, and looked at me with purple eyes: "Forget it, as long as you are by my side... that's fine." is this okay?He has been away for more than a month, and sent many experts to protect me, but I don't know why, I often think about this problem, is this okay? After returning to Jun's Mansion, the two children wrestled together, and next to them were a group of students cheering and cheering, my adopted children. "Fight, Xiyan, fix this Huangchuan well." All the children were clearly leaning towards Xiyan, Qi Fang said indifferently: "This is already the second battle today, the beans were thrown by Xiyan and knocked out. " I got angry and couldn't help shouting: "Stop it all." The children were too frightened to speak, the full-haired Xiyan and Xuanyuan Yi, whose pseudonym was Huang Chuan, were pulled away by Yange and Chunlai, but Xiyan claimed that I secretly slapped Xuanyuan Yi on the head when I was speaking. I scolded Xiyan loudly, and beat Xuanyuan Yi back with the handle of my elegant ivory bone fan. The little girl immediately burst into tears, yelled that I was biased, and threatened to tell her grandpa and empress? I was also so angry that my face twitched, this little girl is really getting worse and worse, she must be educated. I asked Yange to take the crown prince to apply the medicine, and I took Xiyan to the room to apply the medicine: "Why are you bullying the new cousin?" Xiyan stopped crying, and sobbed there: "He is not polite, his eyes grow to the top, and he ignores people when talking to him, bad boy, and said that I can't disobey him, I have to kneel down and admit my mistakes !" The little girl said bitterly: "Your Majesty said that Xi Yan is a princess!" She specially emphasized her tone above the princess, and snorted heavily in her mouth, her little chin was so high that she lived a short period of time: "Except for Madam, Daddy , Grandpa, there is no need to kneel down to anyone." I raised my eyebrows, this section of Yuerong, I patiently educated my daughter: "Xiyan, beating someone is wrong." "Daddy said, whoever bullies Xiyan, Xiyan will beat him back severely, and no one can bully him." This damned Duan Yuerong, she didn't behave well, and even taught Xiyan badly. .
