In terms of beauty or coquettishness, Zheng Ci was indeed not as good as the two women in front of her, but there was no wave in her heart, let alone the slightest bit of jealousy.
Liu Jian handed the two women sent by Yuan Shao and Yang Biao into his hands, which is enough to prove the depth of the relationship between them.
It is a kind of trust that can be completely assured, and all weaknesses and weaknesses can be safely put into the hands of the other party.
This kind of tenacious love between husband and wife goes far beyond the attraction of beauty and sensuality. Zheng Ci is confident that even if one day she is old and has achieved great success, Liu Jian will be surrounded by many beauties, but it will still be called
The only virtuous wife in Liu Jian's backyard was Zheng Ci.
The couple met each other, and from the time of initial embarrassment, they have worked together until now. Although they were separated several times during this period, they have forged an indestructible deep love and trust.
Zheng Ci looked back and forth between the two beauties, thinking secretly in her heart.
Cai Mi was the daughter of Cai Xi, a prominent family in Xiangyang. She was from a high background. If we ignore the achievements of her father's generation in Confucian classics and just look at the family, the Xiangyang Cai family's local prosperity was far higher than that of her own family.
And another peerless beauty, Du Yan, although of ordinary origin, had already worshiped the servant Wang Yun as her adoptive father before she came here. At any rate, she had a good status. The key is that this woman is really a beauty that is hard to find in the world.
Zheng Ci has never seen such a beautiful woman in her whole life.
The ancient Xi Shi was probably nothing more than this.
Zheng Ci smiled, waved gently at the two people, and said: "You two sisters, please sit down."
Du Yan was a little shy, but after all, Cai Mi came from a wealthy family and behaved appropriately. He responded generously and led Du Yan to sit next to him.
Zheng Ci smiled and said to the two of them:
"I don't know how young you two are? But since I entered General Zuo's Mansion before you two, I consider myself a sister, okay?"
Cai Mi said with a smile: "Sister is General Zuo's wife, and her status is respected. Not to mention calling her sister, even though she is called mistress, she has never insulted the two of us."
Zheng Ci smiled and said: "I heard that in Jingxiang, Zhucai is the most prosperous. When I see it today, it is indeed well-deserved."
"Two sisters, one is Yuan Shijun as a matchmaker, and the other is Yang Gong as a matchmaker, come to the General's Mansion to serve General Zuo. However, this General's Mansion still has some rules after all. I want to tell the two sisters today to avoid future troubles.
It caused unnecessary trouble and made everyone look bad."
Zheng Ci seems to speak softly but firmly, and has a calm demeanor, which is very typical of everyone.
As the daughter of the Cai family, Cai Mi has naturally seen many powerful people, but among women, this is the first time she has seen an outstanding person like Zheng Ci, who is soft yet strong.
In Cai Mi's mind, he couldn't help but think of the heroic figure he saw Liu Jian cheering everyone on the high platform that day.
She couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
Sure enough, behind every man who can achieve great things, there is indeed a powerful woman!
Only a woman like Zheng Ci is worthy of being Liu Jian's wife.
Cai Mi stood up slowly and saluted Zheng Ci gracefully.
Du Yan, who had been silent beside her, also hurriedly stood up and followed Cai Mi's example in saluting Zheng Ci.
"I am willing to listen to my sister's instructions."
Zheng Ci's voice was not loud, but her tone seemed extremely sharp at the moment.
"Even if you enter General Zuo's mansion and become General Zuo's woman like me, from now on you must put General Zuo first in your actions. As the saying goes, obey your husband when you marry. Both sisters are also people who understand the righteousness.
You must be aware of this simple courtesy, right?"
Cai Mi said: "Sister, don't worry, we naturally understand this little thing."
Zheng Ci nodded and said: "Since you understand, that's the best. But there are some things that you can't just understand, but you must also do them."
Cai Mi smiled and said, "What about?"
Zheng Ci said: "For example, one of the two sisters has Mr. Yuan as a matchmaker, and the other has Mr. Yang as a matchmaker. When they come here to serve the general, they must have received some special instructions from Mr. Yuan or Mr. Yang, right?"
Du Yan blushed a little when she heard what Zheng Ci said.
Although she is extremely beautiful, she is not from a wealthy family. In this aspect, her status is much different from that of Zheng Ci and Cai Mi.
Zheng Ci just revealed the matter a little bit, and Du Yan felt a little embarrassed.
Cai Mi didn't expect that Zheng Ci would speak so directly.
She considers herself to be the number one among women, but only today did she know that there is someone else.
The daughter of the great scholar Zheng Xuan is indeed no ordinary person.
Zheng Ci continued: "The situation in the world today is complicated. Even though I am a woman, I can still get a glimpse of it. It doesn't matter if you come with a mission."
"But General Zuo's Mansion does not welcome anyone who is half-hearted here. I just hope that from this moment on, all the tasks you were assigned in Jingzhou or Chang'an will be given up."
"From now on, we will treat each other as sisters and work together as one husband. We will work together to make this family better and better. I wonder what you two sisters think?"
"Things of the past are clouded. Women, it is better to run their own homes and husbands well, so that their life will not be in vain."
Du Yan finally spoke, her voice was like an oriole, and her voice was like the sound of nature: "I have remembered my sister's golden words."
Seeing how obedient Du Yan was, Zheng Ci couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction.
It seems that this peerless beauty is an honest child.
Zheng Ci then turned his head and looked at Cai Mi aside.
After Cai Mi pondered for a moment, he gave a gentle salute to Zheng Ci.
"Replying to my sister, before I came to Hebei, I was indeed entrusted by Yuan Jingzhou to use a beauty trick to encourage General Zuo to make King Chenliu the emperor."
As soon as these words came out, even Zheng Ci was in a daze.
Zheng Ci thought that what she said was direct enough, but no matter how direct she was, she still didn't break the window paper.
Who would have thought that Mrs. Cai could speak more directly than she did, even telling her the tasks that Yuan Shao had given her.
This is quite blunt.
Zheng Ci looked at Cai Mi in surprise and said, "My sister is a frank person."
Cai Mi saluted Zheng Ci again.
"Replying to my sister, I am not a frank person, but I can't help but be honest in front of my sister."
"To be honest, before I met General Zuo, my sister still wanted to fulfill Yuan Jingzhou's entrustment to me. She would try to persuade General Zuo to support King Chenliu as emperor no matter what."
"But last time on the high platform of Dunqiu, I saw General Zuo's heroic spirit and heroic spirit."
"I have lived for twenty years and have never seen anyone as heavenly as General Zuo. I admire him very much."
"When I saw Madam's heroic appearance today, I understand even more. How can I shake Mount Tai with the power of a mere female?"
"I may not be able to complete the tasks assigned by Yuan Jingzhou, even if I try my best."
"It's better to just tell everything. If General Zuo and his wife can tolerate me, I would like to stay in the general's mansion as a slave."
"If the general and his wife are incompatible, I am willing to take a car back to Jingzhou and never appear in front of the general and his wife in this life."
After hearing Cai Mi's words, Zheng Ci pondered for a moment, and then saw Du Yan beside her.
Du Yan was a sincere girl. She immediately lowered her head and whispered the purpose of her trip.
It turns out that it is indeed the same as Cai Mi's purpose.
Zheng Ci smiled slightly and said, "That's all. Now that the two sisters have spoken to this point, it shows how frank the two sisters are. I feel very relieved."
"From now on, we are a family. I have no control over others. But today, I will first recognize you two sisters."
Cai Mi and Du Yan were both overjoyed when they heard this and hurriedly bowed and thanked Zheng Ci.
…
…
After Zheng Ci finished talking with the two people, he ordered people to put them in temporary accommodation.
Afterwards, Zheng Ci went to see Liu Jian.
At this time, Liu Jian was playing with his children in his backyard, enjoying family happiness.
Bian Yuer stood aside and smiled happily.
Not long after, I saw Zheng Ci walking over.
She greeted Bian Yu'er and asked Bian Yu'er to lead the children into the room to rest.
Bian Yu'er is naturally a virtuous woman and can understand the situation in front of her.
Liu Jian and Zheng Ci have something to discuss.
She immediately led the children into the house.
Liu Jian and Zheng Ci walked to the pavilion in the courtyard. Zheng Ci cooked wine in the pavilion and held it for Liu Jian.
Liu Jian looked at Zheng Ci with a look of pity.
"Thank you for working so hard for these trivial matters, Madam."
Zheng Ci smiled and said, "What are you talking about, husband? We are husband and wife of the same mind and run this family together. Isn't this husband's heirs my business?"
"My father-in-law and mother-in-law have come here from Zhuojun. Now, although we have four children in our family, it is still too few for a husband. Although my father-in-law and mother-in-law do not say it, I know what they are thinking in their hearts. of."
"My husband cares about the country and ignores other things. However, this is a matter of family affairs. I will still have to worry about my husband after all."
Liu Jian blushed somewhat when he heard what Zheng Ci said.
My own wife is worried about how to let other women give birth to her children...
It sounds really ridiculous.
However, I feel so happy.
"Mrs. Youlao, how do you feel about those two ladies?"
Zheng Cidao: "Both in terms of appearance and mind, he is excellent."
In this era, with someone like Liu Jian, the more descendants the better.
But it's impossible to just find a woman and have sex.
On this point, Zheng Ci, as his wife, thought very clearly.
You must have children, but it cannot just be a large number of children, you must also consider eugenics and upbringing.
What is eugenics and eugenics?
First of all, the woman who matches her husband and has children must be beautiful enough.
Because only children born to beautiful women can have outstanding looks and dignified temperament.
Otherwise, if you find a bunch of ugly women and give birth to a bunch of crooked melons and cracked dates for the old Liu family, it will be embarrassing to take them out. Not to mention Liu Jian is embarrassing, Zheng Ci will also lose value.
Furthermore, the woman who gave birth to Liu Jian's child must have some intelligence.
Needless to say, Liu Jian's own IQ was of course very high. If the children he gave birth to were as tall as him, there is no doubt that they would all be human beings.
But children may not necessarily follow Liu Jian.
Maybe I'll follow my mother's lead more.
In this way, the spouse found for Liu Jian must be somewhat intelligent, so as not to affect the IQ of the next generation.
The ancients actually had a certain awareness of genetic inheritance.
But this time, Zheng Ci was very satisfied with the verification of the two women, Cai Mi and Du Yan.
Judging from the appearance and emotional intelligence of these two women, if Liu Jian gives birth to a child, the child will definitely be good in the future.
…
After hearing what Zheng Ci said, Liu Jian felt very emotional.
He felt proud that he had such a good wife.
"Madam, I heard from you that these two women seemed to have told you their purpose of coming to Hebei this time in front of you?"
Zheng Ci smiled and said: "That's right. Although it is somewhat speculative and flattering, for a woman who is out of town, such an approach is understandable. Moreover, both of them also have longing for their husbands. This point
My identity is guaranteed."
"oh?"
When Liu Jian heard this, he couldn't help but be curious.
"How did Madam know that the two of them have a crush on me?"
Zheng Ci said: "Husband, you have forgotten that I am also a woman. In this world, women know women best and know best. They may be able to lie to me about other things, but when it comes to men, I
I believe I won’t take my eyes off you.”
"Besides, my husband is a top-notch hero in the world, and whose daughter doesn't have longing for her husband in her heart and longing for him."
"Hahaha, as an old married couple, what you said really makes me ashamed."
After that, Liu Jian poured a glass of wine for Zheng Ci, and then raised his wine glass: "From now on, I'd like to ask Madam to take more care of matters in the mansion."
Zheng Ci smiled and said: "This is a matter of concubine status, why should my husband thank me?"
…
That night, Liu Jian ordered someone to take Du Yan to his room first.
After these two women entered the palace, although Liu Jian never met them face to face, he quietly observed their appearance in secret.
Cai Mi, also known as Cai Mao's sister in history, Mrs. Cai of Jingzhou, was a beauty, and extremely coquettish. She was the kind of charming woman who made men want to stop at the first sight. She made people's blood flow and took off their clothes without saying a word.
That kind of.
And Du Yan is the kind of pure beauty that makes people astonished!
Words such as "Sinking fish and falling geese", "Sinking fish and falling geese", "Sinking the moon and shying flowers" are all used to describe a woman like her.
Although Cai Mi was more able to arouse the fire of desire in Liu Jian's heart than Du Yan, Liu Jian still decided to start with Du Yan first.
After all, he has lived two lifetimes, and such a top-notch beauty was not something he had the chance to get his hands on in his previous life.
That night, Du Yan was sent to Liu Jian's room. Liu Jian barely spoke to her, and immediately took off his long water-colored clothes, then turned off the lights and began to enjoy herself.
You know, over the past year or so, Bian Yu'er and Zheng Ci have been pregnant one after another, and Liu Jian has been on frequent military expeditions. The relationship between men and women has been suppressed for too long.
And he is not the kind of person who can just find a vulgar fan and use it against him.
…
And just a few days later, the imperial court finally promulgated the New Deal.
The new tax policy is on hold for now.
The first new policy announced by the imperial court was to abolish the imperial examination and implement the imperial examination.
And Hebei, Jiangnan, Xuzhou, Guanzhong, Liangzhou and other places are used as pilot projects for full implementation.
Resume the update. Today is the first day. I am still a little weak and my joints are aching all over. I will update 4,000 first. I will officially resume the update tomorrow with increments.
