At this moment, Deng Zhen was also holding Yuan Sui's hands tightly, as if the Yuan and Deng families were old friends and hoped that the Yuan family would take more care of them.
In fact, both sides were scolding each other for being useless. Yuan Sui was better, after all, he spoke first and was somewhat sincere. Although Deng Zhen agreed, he didn't say anything substantial and just waited for the Deng family.
Professionals come and have a good talk with the Yuan family.
Of course, Deng Zhen had already made plans to break his promise and make a fortune if he could not reach an agreement.
Anyway, there are basically few good people who can secure this position. Even if Deng Zhen is right, he doesn't say anything and is always ready to talk nonsense.
When Yuan Sui came into contact with Deng Zhen, Yuan Tao and Yuan Da also waited for the families they were waiting for. However, compared to the old fritters like the Deng family, although Wang Ling of the Wang family in Taiyuan is not lacking in wisdom, he is not as good as this kind of family.
Compared to guys who have been in the officialdom for decades, they are still far behind.
Compared to Deng Zhen, who was ready to break his promise and get rich, Wang Ling directly accepted Yuan Tao's proposal. For the Taiyuan Wang family, which now only has one legitimate son and one legitimate daughter, money or not is not that important.
.
What's more, Wang Ling originally wanted to see the situation. If there were other families following the Yuan family's trick, their family would burn these things. Anyway, there were only two people left, and the younger sister Wang Fan was only in her early teens.
, Wang Ling decides everything about the Wang family with one word.
Therefore, when Yuan Tao talked about using his own money to invite the Wang family, Wang Ling didn't care. His idea was very simple. If there were other families, he would follow them. If there were no other families, forget it. He just didn't want to be the first. The Wang family just wanted to be the first.
With only two people left, the decision is actually easy.
On the other hand, the situation of the Cui family in Qinghe is more complicated. Although they tend to burn these things and get out, unlike other families, Cui Yan, the head of the Cui family, is working with Liu Bei, and he is doing a good job.
Although it is good to go out and build a country or something, you can't throw away the family leader, even though the family leader is sometimes useless, or he can be sacrificed for the sake of the family.
But the current situation is that the head of the family has done a good job, leading the Cui family to prosper. It is really difficult to throw away the head of the house for the sake of founding the country. But if you don't throw away the head of the house, you can't include the head of the house. If the family is outside, the snake has no head. As for changing the head of the house, the Cui family
There are not many people who can hold on now.
For this matter, Qinghe Cui and Boling Cui have recently sat down to talk to see if they should merge. The two families were one in the early years and later separated.
The separation of the Cui family is a normal family separation. It is not like the Chen family where a monster is directly created and a surname is created based on the family's fiefdom and official position. It is different from other people's surnames, which are like
It is equivalent to leaving a family and calling yourself the ancestor of the clan.
In other words, for the latter who were killed in this way, the first name written on their genealogy is themselves, and they are the source of this clan. Although the Cui family is said to be powerful, it has not been exaggerated to that extent.
My family's surname is still Cui, but the place name is added.
Qinghe Cui and Boling Cui have been thinking about merging recently, and after the two families revealed a little bit of their intentions, they discovered that the two parties were interested in the relationship between the husband and the concubine.
Prepare to become a family.
Fortunately, this is the Three Kingdoms era. Qinghe Cui and Boling Cui have not yet grown in size. They can only be said to be wealthy families. If this develops into the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, if these two merge, there will probably be no way for other families to survive. Two families with five surnames and seven looks.
What does it feel like when two big players merge?
But now, although the two have not grown in size, their merger is still very exciting. At least after the Yuan family heard the news, they had a feeling of liver pain. They really had to accept this operation. The two giants merged and directly jumped to the top.
extent.
Yuan Da thought about it for a while, he couldn't take over this pot. After the merger, it was said that it was a family. In fact, the capital of two wealthy families was fully secured. If he took over this thing, he would probably be exposed, so he had to forget it, so Yuan Da could only give up the plan.
out, and keep in mind the merger of the two Cui.
The Yuan family would kill any one of the two Cui families in front of the Yuan family, but if the two Cui families merged, Yuan Da thought carefully about the business of the two families, and he wanted to scold his mother. These two families were actually
They are completely complementary. When you think about their background, you will know that these two families have probably made plans since they separated. As expected, those who can get into the top wealthy families are not good people!
Naturally, Yuan Da could only keep silent all the way, and the Cui family calmly stopped talking about this aspect. However, seeing that Yuan Da could mention this matter, the scale in the Cui family's agent's heart silently moved toward burning.
The direction in which those things were dropped was slightly tilted.
[This incident of the Yuan family is a reminder to us. Since the overall situation in the Central Plains is like this, then go and ask Chen Zichuan, explain the situation, and borrow a sum of money to turn over, and the other party will most likely agree. 】
Qinghe Cui's agent silently turned around in his heart.
The Cui family's agent pretended not to have heard the Yuan family's proposal. Since it was possible to borrow a sum of money from Chen Xi for turnover, the Cui family could accept burning those things.
As for what the Yuan family said before, the Cui family will not spread it outside, nor will they tell Chen Xi to exchange for their own interests. It can just be treated as a casual conversation.
In the back hall of Weiyang Palace in Chang'an, the eldest princess Liu Tong rarely wakes up at dawn. Even if Liu Tong has been lazy, she still knows the priorities, and today is a very important day, even if she has been pretending to be dead in court.
Liu Tong has also become much more serious.
"It's rare to see you get up so early." Si Niang said lazily while holding the silk quilt and looking at Liu Tong who had already stood up.
"Today is the meeting of the great dynasty, and we have to welcome the civil and military officials into the dynasty. After this time, the Central Plains will be truly unified. Speaking of which, I originally wanted to go, but unfortunately my identity is destined to not be able to join the army this time." Liu Tong woke up for the first time.
All of a sudden, the palace maid came over with the toiletries that had been prepared, and the female official who was the attendant brought up the prepared palace clothes.
Even Liu Tong, who has always been willful, cannot continue to be willful this time. This time is a major event that really affects everyone in the Central Plains. Even Liu Tong must show the majesty of the eldest princess, which has never been used before.
The palace guards will also serve as bodyguards this time.
"Does everyone want to come?" Si Niang vaguely combed her hair and smoothed the messy hair. Compared with Liu Tong, who took a long time to take care of it, Si Niang only needed to wake up and she could do it in an instant.
You can make yourself look brand new.
"Yes, today will be the most complete visit of the Central Plains high-level officials. Anyone who doesn't come can be included in the list of disrespectful kings." Liu Tong was wearing loose pajamas, washing himself in front of the huge round mirror, and said calmly
Explained to Si Niang, "Also Si Niang, you should also change into the palace concubine's clothes this time. Don't use magic to change your clothes."
"No, palace clothes are too difficult to wear. It only takes me a moment to use the spell." Si Niang suddenly woke up and ran to Liu Tong and said.
"You can't be disrespectful this time. You'd better put on palace clothes, and you'll have to go to the temple later. The whole process is very complicated, and you can't make mistakes." Liu Tong opened his half-closed eyes lazily, and stared at the mirror.
Si Niang said.
"Okay..." Si Niang said helplessly. If you use magic to decorate the palace attire, it will only be an appearance and there will be no sense of restraint. However, for the formal lady's attire, in line with the dignity of the Han family, the quality alone is enough.
Gives people a headache.
However, seeing that Liu Tong warned her so carefully, Si Niang felt that it was better to follow Liu Tong's instructions and wear formal palace clothes again.
With Si Niang's consent, Liu Tong and Si Niang sat side by side in front of the large round mirror, and let the palace maids wash and dress up. Finally, they put on wide palace clothes, put on the steps, tassels, and tied the forbidden steps.
Mother opened her eyes and looked at herself in the mirror, then turned her head and looked at Liu Tong with her mouth pursed.
Different from Si Niang's golden-red color and her soap-colored half-sleeved gauze coat, Liu Tong's clothing is closer to the imperial costume. It is mainly soap color, the most commonly used color in the Han Dynasty. He wears a sword on his waist. If it weren't for the bright and white teeth, he might not be able to wear it.
It really looks a bit like an emperor.
"It's so heavy." Si Niang stood up and felt the weight of her coat and the gold jewelry on her head. She looked at Liu Tong beside her with a distressed look on her face and said.
"No matter how heavy it is, you have to put it on. This time is different from the past. Let's go, my beloved concubine!" A slight smile appeared on Liu Tong's eyebrows, and he stretched out his hand to hold Si Niang and said with a smile.
"There won't be more in the future, right?" Si Niang, who looked better after Liu Tong grabbed her hand, asked with a little hesitation.
The maids and officials behind him turned a blind eye to Liu Tong's gentle smile. Maybe they were a little surprised at first, but now they can turn a blind eye and ignore it. Aren't they just the lord and mistress?
?What’s so amazing.
"This kind of thing won't happen too much." Liu Tong reassured. In fact, it was difficult for Si Niang to take off these clothes. After all, when there were only two of them, Si Niang didn't want to just dissipate.
But in front of others, Si Niang also needs to pay attention to some etiquette in front of others.
[Sure enough, even if you are an immortal, as long as you are bound by the etiquette and rules of the human world, there is really no difference from a mortal. Well, Si Niang is so cute~] Liu Tong thought with a smile as he looked at the dizzy Si Niang.
[Why did I become like this?] As a noble concubine, Si Niang thought with her little nimble head. Seeing Liu Tong stepping forward and stepping out of Weiyang Palace, she also followed Liu Tong step by step, [
But it’s not important anymore, the Immortal Way can be completely given up.】
Si Niang, who was following Liu Tong, suddenly caught up with Liu Tong quickly. The messy and crisp sound of the forbidden step made Liu Tong look sideways. Si Niang mustered up the courage to catch up and took Liu Tong's hand.
He raised his head and looked into Liu Tong's eyes, using all his courage, "If things go wrong in the future, I will follow you. What I protect is not the royal family surnamed Liu, but you."
