The mountains and city walls in the distance outline dark blue patches, while the emerald green and the reddish colors of the melons and fruits in front of you present hope.
Wang Shu suddenly felt that the complicated things that had been weighing on her heart became clear at this moment. She sat under the tree, thinking about her own affairs. In fact, she had been thinking, reflecting and summarizing in the past few days.
It seems, seems, probably, that after all these years, I don’t actually know what I need.
When she was young, she was forced to practice martial arts because her father was lamenting that his martial arts knowledge had no successor. So Wang Shu wanted to tell her father that she could also be his successor.
For such a word and a promise, she spent all her childhood playing time.
Until she received the news of her father's death and obtained the heavy Juzi Order...
It was like a mountain, pressing down on her shoulders without saying a word.
No matter how small the authority is, there will always be people fighting for it, no matter what dynasty it is in. Those who regard a chicken feather as a command arrow are as big as the sky, and there are not a few in the fish and meat village. Those who covet the order of Juzi are self-proclaimed veterans.
The woman pounced on her like a vicious wolf, feeling that after her father died, there was only such a woman left. She could be easily captured, and she could be kneaded in any way she wanted.
But these people did not expect that Wang Shu had developed a tough and unyielding character due to her young martial arts practice. The more oppressed she was, the more she resisted. She killed those who dared to stretch her claws towards her, but she also offended some local powerful people.
, had to embark on the road of exile, and moved to Chang'an...
Thin footsteps came from the side.
Zao Zhi is here.
Wang Shu was very familiar with the sound of his footsteps.
In retrospect, Wang Shu and Zao Zhi actually don't have much so-called lovers' emotions. Their union is not so much the product of feelings as it is a mutual transaction, each getting what they need. But living under the same roof,
Sleeping on the same bed, strangers have gradually become familiar with each other, just like the left hand is familiar with the right hand.
Originally, Wang Shu thought that this kind of life would continue, but she didn't expect that her thoughts, which had been silent for a long time, would be stimulated by others in the past few days, and they would beat vigorously, reminding her of the time when she solemnly stood before her father's tomb.
A vow of commitment.
The Langya Wang family is not just the Wang Ji and Wang Xiang family!
Zao Zhi frowned slightly, and there was still some dirt on his clothes. It was obvious that he had just been to the fields before.
Wang Shu is very familiar with this expression, which means that Zao Zhi doesn't like her current behavior very much, but Zao Zhi has a gentle temper. Even if he is impatient, he will only frown at most and will not get angry at Wang Shu. Of course,
If Zao Zhi dared to get angry and scold him for no reason, he would have to ask his own fist.
Anyway, soon after her wedding, Zao Zhi had such a gentle temperament after seeing Wang Shu break eggs, uh, wrong, bricks and stones with one hand...
Zao Zhi motioned to the followers behind him not to follow him, then walked across the field ridge to the other side of the field, looked up at the sky, and then walked to Wang Shu's side.
Wang Shu also signaled his maid to step back, and then walked a little further to the other side of the shade of the tree, facing forward, looking at the rolling fields, interspersed roads, green mountains, green water, blue sky, and white clouds.
The world is still very big.
Is not it?
Wang Shu smiled.
"What are you going to do?" Zao Zhi felt that Wang Shu sometimes gave people a headache, and Wang Shu's answer made Zao Zhi feel that his head hurt even more.
"I am going to recommend myself as Tian Ling. Of course, I also need your recommendation." Wang Shu said calmly.
"Ji Tian Ling?" Zao Zhi wondered if he heard wrongly, "Are you talking about the Ji Tian Ling who is in charge of cultivating the fields of Sheji?"
Wang Shu's face seemed to emit a transparent light under the sun, "That's right."
"Why?" Zao Zhi couldn't help but pinch his forehead twice.
Wang Shu glanced at Zao Zhi, "Do I have to say it?"
Zao Zhi rubbed his forehead twice harder, "Well, I think it would be better to make it clear."
Wang Shu looked directly at Zao Zhi, staring at Zao Zhi's eyes, then looked at Zao Zhi's tanned skin, looking at Zao Zhi's hair stained with mud, "First of all, I can help you... Secondly,
Why do I have to stay at home if I can do a good job?"
"Can you help me?" Zao Zhi smiled, obviously not believing Wang Shu's words, "Can you plow the fields or weed? How can you help?"
Wang Shu suddenly laughed, but there was a hint of sadness in the laughter, "So... what do you think I can do? Help you take care of your children? Have you forgotten what I was doing before I married you? I originally thought you should
He has some outstanding wisdom and broad thinking, but now..."
Zao Zhi suddenly felt a little guilty. He looked away and did not continue to refute this question, "Then tell me, for example, what can you help me now?"
Wang Shu still looked at Zao Zhi without flinching and said, "There is no doubt that your position is too high... so you can't see the things at the bottom. Even if you bend down to cultivate it yourself, your distance
The real land is far away...haven't you noticed? Look back for yourself..."
"..." Zao Zhi took a breath and looked back.
On the far side of the field ridge, dozens of people are waiting for Zaozhi. Some are holding utensils and things, some are wearing scale armor and holding flags, some are wearing crowns and brocade robes, and some are wearing linen clothes trying to be the same as Zaozhi.
of decorative...
I don't know why, but after seeing those people, Zao Zhi's heart suddenly jumped.
When did these people appear?
When did there start to be so many people behind me?
"It's not your fault..." I don't know when Wang Shu had already walked to Zao Zhi's side, "After all, you are standing in this position now... Just like a hussar general, he is the same... too
It is impossible to leave these people, so you need me...just like a hussar general..."
Having said this, Wang Shu paused deliberately, and his tone seemed a little heavy.
"What about General Hussar?" Zao Zhi couldn't help but ask.
Could it be that the Cavalry General is also aware of this problem and is already dissatisfied with his current situation? And he is not aware of it at all?
Wang Shu suddenly laughed out loud, "Of course the same goes for General Hussar... Wherever he goes, there are a bunch of people. This is... This is the price of power. Of course, General Hussar seems to know this, so he
They don't come out often... And you, don't you really think that when you go to the fields with a lot of people, you will still face those old farmers like before, talk to each other, tell the truth
Tell the truth?』
Zao Zhi looked at Wang Shu and was speechless for a moment.
Some things are actually very simple, but sometimes they are just invisible.
Until it is exposed by others, it is like the emperor's new clothes.
The corners of Zao Zhi's mouth twitched slightly, "This...why didn't you say it earlier? Since you have noticed it a long time ago, why didn't you tell me earlier? I can make them less..."
As he spoke, Zao Zhi's voice dropped, "Maybe this can't be completely banned... but at least it's better..."
Wang Shu looked at Zao Zhi, "Are you sure?"
"..." Zao Zhi's face showed some confusion.
"Now not only Sanfu of Guanzhong, but also Jiangdong of Shandong know about you..." Wang Shu patted Zao Zhi on the shoulder as if patting his own brother, "You think the number of guards and entourage has really been reduced, right?"
Who benefits?"
Zao Zhi fell silent.
"If I were the enemy and knew that there was someone like you..." Wang Shu pointed at the surrounding guards and followers, "If necessary, would I attack you like you? Even if the hussar general catches the murderer,
Tracking down the real culprit... Well, can you still survive? The only loss is for our family?』
"This is the reason why General Hussar knows, but he won't tell..." Wang Shu continued to pat Zao Zhi on the shoulder and said with a smile, "You don't understand these things... and now I can help you."
, and the only one who can really help you is me. Is it possible that you want to choose that charming concubine? Or your other wife?"
Zao Zhi's face wrinkled up.
This life-threatening question...
Wang Shu paused for a moment and then said: "I didn't think so much originally...but now...yes, what you said originally was not wrong. Taking care of children is also one of my responsibilities, but sometimes I think about it, this is really
Is this the ideal I came to Chang'an for? To deliver a baby to you and then take care of it?"
"Then I gave up for a while...until recently...I suddenly figured it out. In fact, I can do more and better, right? It's not like any of your wives or concubines can do it."
"What they can do, I can do, and what they can't do, I can do!" Wang Shu straightened her back and raised her head.
Zao Zhiba smacked his lips, "Can you tell me why you suddenly... think like this?"
Wang Shu glanced at Zao Zhi sideways, "I originally planned to remind you again after a while... Well, to be honest, I'm too lazy to remind you. Anyway, you and your family think that I have food, drink, and clothing, so...
I should be obedient to give birth to and take care of your child, and I didn’t bother to care about it... But Sister Zhen found us a few days ago... She reminded me..."
This Zhen Mi is looking for trouble.
Zao Zhi just muttered in his heart, but before he could say anything, he heard Wang Shu say from the side: "You must think that I am looking for trouble, right? But have you ever thought that I am also a member of the family, and I can do it too"
Give you support? Just like the things in front of you, it is actually very simple to solve it...』
Zao Zhi perked up after hearing this and asked without hesitation: "Then tell me, tell me!"
As for Zao Zhi, he could actually figure it out after thinking about it for a while, but he was suddenly pricked by Wang Shu and didn't react for a while. After all, Zao Zhi was not as quick-witted as Jia Xu, who could do ten things in an instant.
There are seven or eight types of ideas, but after thinking for a long time, you can come up with some solutions.
Wang Shu pointed at himself.
"You?" Zao Zhi asked, and immediately fell into thinking.
Wang Shu nodded. "The problem you have now is that you are in a high position, and then you have problems communicating with the most basic people. But if you abandon these guards and followers, it is wrong. This will put you in danger, very dangerous."
It’s not safe...but I can! You can’t go in the fields, but I can! Even if a spy comes, I can fight him!”
Wang Shu clenched his fist and shook it in front of Zao Zhi.
Zao Zhi suddenly felt a headache again, "Wait, don't use force yet! A gentleman talks but doesn't take action! Let me ask you, are you really willing to stay in the fields like me? Thinking about Zhuang He and Ni Ba? If you don't want to,
It's better not to do it, so as not to dislike this and complain about that..."
"Have you forgotten the first time we met?" Wang Shu said with a smile, "I have served these Zhuang He before, and it is easier than serving you... What's more important is that what you are doing here is
What is researched must always be promoted, right? How can you know the real situation? How can you ensure that the reported situation is true and not copied by scribes? Even if those scribes follow the true situation
Write, can they tell the difference between wheat and millet? Do they know when to water more and when to cultivate more soil? Can you confirm what they reported as "the crops are good" and "the grains are acceptable"
Is there a difference between them?』
"Um...have you read my submitted documents?" Zao Zhi frowned.
Wang Shu snorted, "You just threw it on the desk... Do you think that the desk will be clean when you go back every day and that the desk will clean it up for you?"
"Hi, no," Zao Zhi subconsciously changed the topic, "You haven't practiced for many days, haven't you? Didn't you hear that this martial art needs to be practiced every day?"
"So I have been practicing martial arts these days!" Wang Shu made a few slow gestures in the air, "In another ten days or so, I will be able to recover to about 40% to 50%, and in a month or two I will be basically 70% to 80%.
It’s time to break up... hum..."
"And I can also go to the peasant women... Women will definitely talk about more topics than you! At the same time, this information will be conveyed to you accurately, instead of being covered up and modified! In this regard, you
You can’t deny it? So, I can help you! And I’m your best assistant!』
Zao Zhi listened very attentively, and finally nodded slightly, "That's true..."
There are some topics that women are more likely to talk about.
"But don't you also have the position of Zhiyin Supervisor?" Zaozhi said, "Zhiyin Supervisor can also do these things. What kind of Ji Tianling is necessary?"
"The Zhiyin Supervisor and the Shenlu Yuan actually feel to me like the "Guang Luxun" of the Cavalry General," Wang Ju looked in the direction of Chang'an, "They are both preliminary candidates, and it seems that there are some things, but in reality
There are not many people who can really do things, or have practical things... You still have to step out! Zhiyin Supervisor is just a step, you still have to decide how to go next! 』
Supervisor Zhiyin, Guang Luxun?
Zao Zhi was silent for a moment and nodded, "Okay, you have convinced me... I will recommend you to the lord, but whether you can become the "Ji Tian Ling" is not up to me... Also, don't do it next time
Pat me on the shoulder again..."
Wang Shu laughed and patted Zao Zhi on the shoulder like a buddy, "No problem! I'll go back first..."
"Hmm..." Zao Zhi responded helplessly, then suddenly thought of something and asked quickly, "By the way, what do you think Zhen's daughter is going to do?"
"She, she said she wants to go to Zhiyin Prison... She wants to abandon business and become political..." Wang Shu replied as he walked, "I think she should focus on the Shaofu..."
"Young Master?" Zao Zhi couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
Shaofu?
This position…
After Zao Zhi came to his senses and wanted to ask more questions, he realized that Wang Shu had already walked away with several maids.
Forget it, I'll discuss it with Pang Shiyuan after I get back. These girls seem to be causing trouble!
On the other side, Fei Qian finally took the time to meet Zhen Mi.
Zhen Mi was dressed simply.
The plain-colored deep-skirted dress does not have too many decorations. Only the sleeves and collar are trimmed with red. The body is tight and narrow, and the waist is tied with a black belt, showing its slender curves and long skirt.
Swinging on the ground, it was in the shape of a trumpet, not revealing enough. The sleeves were wide, and the collar opened at the intersection to reveal the light yellow lining, which highlighted Zhen Mi's jade-like complexion, as if she had stepped out of a painting of a beautiful lady.
Zhen Mi's current performance surprised Fei Qian.
In the impression, or in other words, this Zhen Mi who lives in history has become more of a symbol than a real person. Under Cao Zhi's vigorous promotion, she not only became the object of pad printing by literati and poets, but also became a faint
It brings out a sense of ethical excitement that the dumplings are delicious.
Of course, this is only the interpretation of some historical scholars. Others say that the so-called Luo Shen is actually Cao Zhi lamenting the gain and loss of power, because for a Cao son, perhaps power is the most beautiful lover.
But these are not very important now. What is important is what Zhen Mi is thinking in front of her.
"What do you want to do?" Fei Qian asked slowly.
Zhen Mi's long eyelashes trembled under the sunlight that penetrated the hall, and then she raised her eyes slightly to look at Fei Qian, like a cat stretching its paws out of its white gloves and scratching in the air.
Then she lowered her head and said, "A civilian girl is willing to serve the general."
Zhen Mi's voice was not loud, but every word was clear and she seemed very calm.
"So if you give all your family wealth, it will be regarded as a service?" Fei Qian said with a smile.
Zhen Mi shook her head. The black hair on her face was slightly reddish-brown and a little transparent under the sunlight. "I gave all my family wealth just to forgive my brother. From then on, the daughter of the people reunited with Zhen."
No connection.』
Zhen Mi is undoubtedly smart. This was evident when Fei Qian held a meeting of several big business leaders of the Han Dynasty Chamber of Commerce. In terms of reaction speed and literary quality, Zhen Mi is even better than Cui Hou, who once had three sons in his family.
They are all a bit stronger. Although Cui's San Gong was also bought with money, he is somewhat watery.
And now Zhen Mi said that she wanted to donate her family property and break up with the Zhen family...
