"Mama, is something wrong?"
Although he was drunk, Gong Xiqiu still focused part of his attention on Zhiyin's expression. He was puzzled when he saw Shen Tang's face switching flexibly between white, cyan and black.
_(:з)∠?)_
Could it be that I accidentally offended someone again?
Gong Xiqiu sipped his wine.
I was mentally preparing to draft an apology.
Don't ask why he is so proficient and has no resistance, ask: it is a passive skill that is born with the cubs from the matrilineal clan.
Because Gongxiqiu Daxiao was pretty and showed outstanding talent in singing and dancing at a young age, the clan elders immediately concluded that he would be a prodigy with both singing and dancing in the future. Many people of the same age in the clan were vying to be him. The mother-in-law of my future son.
Gong Xiqiu saw many disputes in this environment.
They argued together, and he apologized to calm it down.
It's better to ask him to apologize than to have a fight between a few people turn into a melee with a mallet, right? Gong Xiqiu often took photos of himself near the water, wondering why the people in the water were so handsome.
You are already like this at a young age, can you grow up?
When he was a little older, Gong Xiqiu knew that he thought too much. His mother-in-law and uncle deceived his son/nephew without blinking an eye. Gong Xiqiu had been practicing boy's skills since he was a child. After his cultivation reached a certain level, Before the realm, you can't get involved with women.
I still remember that my uncle gave him a serious warning.
[You can’t have sex with men either.]
Gong Xiqiu: [……]
【We want to dedicate it to God.】
Gong Xiqiu knew how to hurt his heart at a young age. He asked his uncle innocently and ignorantly: "So my uncle was dedicated to the gods, so that's why Mama doesn't like him, right?"
That day, Gong Xiqiu's butt blossomed.
His cries were heard from one end of the clan to the other.
Thinking of the trivial matters in his childhood, he was already facing Gong Xiqiu, who was separated from his close friend, and became even more depressed: "Mama?"
Shen Tang was brought back to his senses by this sound.
"Ah? Haha, I'm fine. It's just that I was a little surprised when I suddenly came into contact with this... fact that is different from the science I have known in the past..." Shen Tang waved his hands repeatedly and dismissed the matter of distraction with a smile, and his heart was in a state of confusion.
She felt something wasn't quite right about herself.
It's in vain that she was talking nonsense in front of Wang Chao during the day, inviting him to smell her fresh flesh. Good guy, in less than half a day, she turned around at the speed of light and slapped him in the face. The vest she is currently wearing, maybe, with a high probability, is... a male That sacred object that is not too new among the Xiqiu tribe? What should we do about it?
She was at a loss for words.
My heart skipped a beat, and I suppressed the twitching of the corners of my mouth.
A coincidence is a coincidence, but when several coincidences are added together, it is no longer a mere coincidence.
According to the description of the dowry maid and later the dancer in the dance studio, Mr. Shen of the Shen family is a master who loves antiques and antiques. I bet the coffin he brought back to the Shen residence overnight was bought from those inverters. Open the coffin Later, he saw that the deceptive corpse lying inside was somewhat similar to the missing eldest lady of the Shen family. As the wedding was approaching, he let the holy object take the place of the bride.
Later, the "holy object" farted on the way to distribution.
Shen Tang came through at this juncture.
In this way, everything is smoothed out!
Shen Tang took a breath of air.
If the science of this world is really suppressed by theology, there will not only be literary minds and bravery, but also the holy relic that has been sleeping for two hundred years and can still be deceived, and the benefactor of the Gongxi tribe who keeps saying that he will come back...
Then his face turned pale again.
So what should she do as an outsider who unintentionally took possession of the holy relic vest? Will she be seen through at a glance? Will she be burned alive as a monster? Will she be killed by the benefactor of the Gongxi tribe who is so embarrassed that she becomes angry? Can't you slap your hand on the wall and dig it out?
No, no!
Shen Tang shuddered violently.
He slapped the table and said, "Absolutely not!"
Gong Xiqiu was so frightened by her that he almost couldn't hold the pottery bowl steady, his eyes were blank: "Mama, what's the 'absolutely impossible' thing?"
Shen Tang laughed and laughed: "It's nothing, it's just that I was annoyed by the story where I had an idea."
Looking at Gong Xiqiu, he secretly said, "I'm sorry."
Unless Gong Xiqiu follows the clues and traces her body, she will not take the initiative to tell Gong Xiqiu that the vest she is wearing now is most likely an old man who has been buried in their clan's holy land for more than two hundred years. Zongzi.
Furthermore--
Given that the Gongxi clan has kept their benefactor's promise for more than two hundred years, there is only one person left in the clan who is still unwilling to give up easily. Coupled with Gongxi Qiu's mysterious brain circuit, it is difficult to guarantee that once Gongxi Qiu learns about his identity, The vest is a sacred object, and he won't do anything. Shen Tang guessed that this guy might politely invite Shen Tang to lie back in the coffin and wait for the reincarnation of his benefactor with him.
_(:з)∠?)_
Since it’s all about waiting—
She should wait outside the coffin.
Thinking of this, Shen Tang felt extremely sad.
Seeing the table full of delicious food, I lost my appetite for chopsticks.
Seeing that she was sad, Gong Xiqiu also thought that their close friends would part ways soon, so he groaned, sighed and shed tears, banging the bowl with chopsticks, singing a cappella the tune that he had just recently been inspired to compose. The tune could make people urinate. All branched.
Shen Tang hugged his head and sobbed.
Gong Xiqiu burst into tears while singing.
In such a large lobby, no one dared to approach the pair of snakes. Gu Chi felt embarrassed and raised his hand to recall Yu Zi and Xian Yujian. The latter two had expressions as if struck by lightning.
Xian Yujian is pretty good.
After all, he doesn't know anything about music theory.
But Yu Zi understands.
She bit her lower lip: "Sir, Master Lang and the others..."
Gu Chi smiled towards the lobby, with a deep meaning and complexity that Yu Zi didn't understand, and said: "Ignore them. One is drunk because he drank too much, and the other is drunk when he is not drunk. Let them do their best." Let's have a drinking session... After all, there won't be many opportunities like this in the future. Once counts as one..."
Yu Zi only felt that Mr. Gu was so gentle.
He is much more reasonable than Mr. Kang.
However, Mr. Kang is also very good.
Xian Yujian felt that there was something in what this gentleman said, because judging from the literary scholars he had come into contact with, there was something wrong with this group. What they said on their lips was very different from what they thought in their hearts. The former could not be believed, while the latter had to guess. .
The young man nodded towards Mr. Gu.
Gu Chi stood in the corridor and watched the young man raise his hand, condense his martial energy into the spear, and perform a vigorous dance with exquisite marksmanship. After doing it three or five times, he was just a little sweaty. Even a layman could tell that the young man Solid foundation and excellent martial arts.
But Gu Chi had no intention of admiring it.
He looked up at the bright moon in the sky.
Suddenly he remembered that day, he and Shen Tang were walking by the stream in the cold and biting night wind, chatting while walking.
It's more accurate to say it's chatting, but testing each other out.
He tested whether Shen Tang was the person he was looking for.
Shen Tang was testing whether he was someone he could use.
Later, in order to gain his trust, Shen Tang opened her mouth to reveal her biggest secret. She also said that if he listened to the secret but refused to keep his heart, then she could only keep his body.
Gu Chi naturally chose to refuse without even thinking about it.
He didn't want to break up with Shen Tang one day and be killed by the other party for this reason. This worry was not without reason.
People's hearts are inherently fickle. At this time, they can cherish each other, treat each other sincerely, and rely on each other externally and internally, but it does not mean that it will still be the same in the future. As Shen Tang continues to go down, her power will expand, and those who follow her will more and more.
It is no longer limited to Gu Chi.
Some people will have a struggle.
Struggle requires unity.
Different factions are divided into different factions based on their inheritance, region, interests, and relationships, and each fights for interests, positions, or morality.
The more people and factions there are, the easier it is to cause trouble. Shen Tang will have to learn how to balance them in the future, and will also drift further and further away from some people in the process of balancing, which is inevitable.
Just like Shen Tang today, she will be satisfied with riding a pig in addition to her heavy official duties, but in the future, this trivial happiness will not be able to satisfy her. Even if he has the ability to read the hearts of the audience, he does not dare to tell the changes in people's hearts. It's all under control.
Shen Tang will change, and so will the people who follow her.
The human heart is something that cannot be understood.
Come to think of it, this is the secret that the Lord was going to tell you that day, right? Gu Chi put his hands in his sleeves and stared at the moon for an hour, while Xian Yujian thought he was watching his practice. He gritted his teeth and became more and more afraid to slack off. , full of effort.
The second day.
Gong Xiqiu woke up from a hangover and found that he was back on the bed in the inn room and heard the sound of water behind the screen.
Knowing who the person was, he pulled up the quilt, lay on his side and curled up, preparing to lie down for a while. Then he heard footsteps approaching.
"Parents, please cleanse your face."
It turned out to be the young boy disguised as a man.
Gong Xiqiu saw that he couldn't stay in bed, and his mouth was full of anger under the quilt. The moment he lifted the quilt, his expression returned to normal - he secretly said, this is a maid and not an official of his tribe, and she can't do it even if she is angry in bed. To a defenseless weak woman.
"Why am I back?"
"It was Mr. Shen who sent you back."
To be precise, it's drag and drop.
He also refused help from Gongxi Qiu's subordinate officer.
She could only watch as Gong Xi Qiu rushed forward, face down, and was dragged all the way back to the room by Shen Tang. For a moment, the officials couldn't tell whether Shen Tang was kind or intentional.
_(:з)∠?)_
If you tell Gong Xiqiu, he will probably roll his eyes - nonsense, Mama is a kind-hearted person, so she must have good intentions!
as expected.
Gong Xiqiu washed his face.
The hangover smell seems to have faded a lot.
"Mama, that little girl, brought me back, it's really hard for her." Gong Xiqiu's reply left the maid speechless for a while.
For a moment, I couldn't tell whether Gong Xiqiu was thanking him or mocking him.
Gong Xiqiu asked again: "Where is she?"
The maid hesitated for a while, observing Gong Xiqiu's expression.
"I went out at dawn. The people brought by Mr. Shen started packing their bags and left the inn as soon as noon. They have only left for a short time. Do you want to catch up with me?"
Unexpectedly, Gong Xiqiu was not unhappy at being left without saying goodbye by Shen Tang. He hummed the music score from last night in his mouth. After humming, he patted his thigh and sighed: "Oh, Mama still understands my thoughts."
Knowing that he hated separation, he held a wedding banquet and packed up his things at dawn to avoid unnecessary sadness.
Too!
Where in life do we not meet!
If we are separated today, how can we know that we will not meet again tomorrow?
As everyone knows——
Gu Chixiao asked Shen Tang: "Master, why are you in such a hurry?"
Shen Tang looked back while riding his motorcycle.
Don't worry until you are sure that there is no dust kicked up by the horses behind you.
"Don't worry, Gong Xiqiu will catch up and beat you?"
Shen Tang admitted that he was a little unhappy, so he deliberately dragged Gong Xiqiu. Who made the drunken Gong Xiqiu look easy to bully? If he didn't bully him now, it would be hard to tell when he went to the battlefield in the future. He quickly brought Zhang He with him After negotiating a deal with the person, she signed a deed in triplicate, and then she took the person and rubbed oil on his soles.
Gu Chi couldn't help laughing.
However, his smile froze when he heard Shen Tang also start humming the score that Gong Xiqiu improvised last night.
Try to find other topics to talk about.
"Lord."
"What?"
"I felt a little emotional for a moment."
Monk Shen Tang Zhang Er was confused: "Sentiment?"
She thought Gu Chi was insulated from this word.
I asked along the way: "What are you feeling?"
Gu Chi smiled and said: "Of course I feel that we have been used as a grindstone again. There was Wu Zhaode before me, and Zhang Yongqing behind..."
"Where did this come from?"
"The people Zhang Yongqing brought today are all members of prominent families in Lingzhou. The plague in the early years helped Zhang Yongqing gain a foothold in Lingzhou, and later he took down Yiru without any effort, which somewhat annoyed the local prominent families. .It’s just that due to Zhang Yongqing’s high reputation and his cunning and cautious nature, he couldn’t kill him by any means. Instead, he took the opportunity to cultivate a lot of power..."
Shen Tang: "Are they hostile?"
Gu Chi smiled: "The relationship between people sitting in this kind of seat can never be described as 'friendly' or 'hostile'. They are wary of each other and kill each other, and they also cooperate and depend on each other for development. It depends. What is needed at the moment. In the eyes of outsiders, exchanging spiritual wine for medicinal materials is a sure-profit deal. We have made so much profit, but Zhang Yongqing actually doesn’t take a bite of the cake himself, and is still interacting to build bridges. He is showing some goodwill. The latter probably thinks the same way about the plan of a prominent family."
Shen Tang knew this trick: "If you put it this way, Zhang Yongqing is a fool and a traitor, and he deliberately uses this method to deceive people?"
After many years of operation, the medicinal material market has become a major source of income for Yiru. In addition, the harvests in recent years have been very poor. The income from the fields owned by these noble clans is almost always in deficit. The difference lies in the size of the deficit. There are many people in the clan, so the annual expenses are It's a huge number, and sooner or later it will be eaten up.
Many people have set their sights on the medicinal materials industry.
The current world is so chaotic, wars are going on everywhere, and it is noisy. It is not only rice that is popular, but also medicinal materials.
The former fills the stomach, the latter can save lives.
Everyone will focus on it.
Could it be that Zhang Yongqing’s move is to draw out the fire under the kettle?
Taking the opportunity to suppress and gain power?
It's not impossible.
There are also local nobles investing in Zhang Yongqing, hoping that other competitors and enemies will fall behind and let them eat the cake themselves.
Gu Chi said: "Almost."
"What's going on with Wu Zhaode?"
Gu Chi said with a smile: "Wu Zhaode also used spiritual wine to get away with a lot of benefits. The Wu family is originally from the Tianhai family, and it is much easier to do things than Zhang Yongqing. This time, he probably made money so much that he smiled crookedly. The lord looked at them and didn't want to Want to give it a try?”
This kind of game of fighting with outsiders and fighting with within.
Shen Tang thought for a while.
Difficulty: "The territory of Heyin is barely considered a family. It seems that I have shaved it clean and all the family property has been confiscated... If King Yama had been more diligent, I estimate that they would all have grown to six or seven in their mother's womb by now." Months old?"
She probably won't be able to experience this kind of fun anymore.
