Wang Li and Ma Jindao sat aside, shouting with a straight face and lowering their voices.
"Now she is getting more and more outrageous. What are the rumors outside?"
Wu Ya'er held back her laughter and asked, "How about spreading the word? Of course, the more you spread it, the more outrageous it becomes."
Wang Lidao: "Don't take it seriously. There was no evidence before, so let's just say it was a rumor. But now the businessman said that Lian Xiaojun ate, lived, and traveled with Mrs. Chu Guo in the same car, and went out to reward her every day.
Flowers, riding, hunting.”
"Everyone in the Yangzhou Prefecture went out to enjoy the flowers, ride horses and hunt. Mrs. Chu didn't shy away from it, and even invited everyone to play with her and that Lian Xiaojun."
"They were drinking and barbecuing. No matter how many people came, except for a silly big guy holding an umbrella next to Mrs. Chu, only Lian Xiaojun was always sitting with her, pouring wine, barbecuing, cutting meat, and giving her handkerchiefs wet with water.
Wipe your hands..."
Wang Li relayed what the businessman said, but what he said was not as beautiful as what the businessman said. Mixed with his own description, the picture became less beautiful.
Wu Ya'er looked outside the door. There were bare trees in the yard, and the flowers on Huainan Road were all in bloom.
Will she send you pictures of flowers?
Even if she takes the initiative to send it, he must take the initiative to write to her to ask for it, so as to show his expectation and cherishment of the painting.
Fortunately, the reply has not been written yet.
"Everyone has seen it!" Wang Li shouted loudly, "This time it is not a rumor."
Wu Ya'er said nothing and looked at him.
"That Lian Xiaojun is as beautiful as a fairy." Wang Li gestured, "I compared that Han Xu. Han Xu sent several carts of gold, silver, jewelry, and food to Mrs. Chu, but Mrs. Chu ignored her.
he."
Food, Wu Ya'er nodded, what is the most important thing now in late winter and early spring, food. Of course, no one in Great Xia had to worry about food in the past. Even if they didn't have food at home, they could go out and buy whatever they wanted. But now the world is in chaos, he said.
If the government is isolated and trade routes are blocked, food cannot be bought with money.
Jiannan Road is a land in the middle of Shu, rich in products and full of granaries.
"That Lian Xiaojun is so loved by Mrs. Chu. Many people in Yangzhou City are imitating him. If they can't imitate his face, they imitate his clothes. It's simply outrageous!" Wang Li patted the armrest of the chair, "What is it now?
At that time, the world was in chaos and there were endless wars."
They have eaten one meal but not the next, and they don’t know if they will survive today or tomorrow, and some people only think about food, clothing, and beauty.
Wu Ya'er smiled: "The world is in chaos, wars are endless, life and death are uncertain, and people can only find some fun for themselves."
Wang Li snorted and glanced sideways at Wu Ya'er: "I understand, you are making excuses for that woman again, but this time the excuse is really useless. She is a arrogant and extravagant person. She was like this before, because of the chaos of the war.
Covered it up, now that the Huainan Road is stable, she has been granted the title of concubine by the emperor, and has a powerful soldier in her hands, now as the leader of the Huainan Road, she can no longer hide her true nature."
Wu Ya'er laughed.
"What's so funny about this!" Wang Li was annoyed, "Look how many times you've laughed? What are you laughing at?"
As soon as he started talking about Mrs. Chu, he would laugh.
Wu Ya'er pursed his lips. He actually didn't know why he was laughing, but he just wanted to laugh anyway.
Wang Li exhaled and inhaled again, and he had to continue speaking.
"This is not a joke or a rumor."
"It used to be said that she was rich. She often cooked porridge, had flowing wine, and showered everyone with gold, silver and jewelry. She was extravagant and generous."
"But she is extravagant and greedy for money. She is so greedy for money that when Huainan Road is recovered, all she needs to do is give her gifts and she can become an official."
"So the officials in the prefectures and counties of Huainan Province are all very ugly. There are old officials who have been useless for many years, there are squires who have never been an official, and there are even many officials who had previously voted for the rebels. As long as they give her a lot of money, she will
Don’t worry about continuing to let them serve as officials.”
Wu Ya'er smiled again: "Be greedy for money, who is not greedy for money? We are greedy too. When we were in Mobei, Governor Zhang strictly inspected the checkpoints. If there were businessmen who gave us money, we secretly let them go."
Thinking of the past, Wang Li grinned: "Who told Zhang not to give us food and grass, so we can only feed ourselves!"
After saying this, he sighed and returned to the present moment.
"Is this the same thing? We are helpless. Now that businessmen are giving us money, will we pay attention to them?"
Wu Ya'er thought for a while and nodded: "You are right. From now on, merchants will have to pay when they come in and out of our place. After all, it is we who keep them safe. No, whether they are merchants or others, as long as they look rich,
Yes, they all charge money."
Wang Li was stunned, but when he heard the word "qian" he couldn't help but his heart was churning: "...If you don't give me money, I'll give you food and grass."
No, he was scolding Mrs. Chu, why did he imitate her behavior instead?
"She is not that kind at all. She is only kind to those who compliment her according to her wishes. In other words, she previously won over people's hearts, but now that she is firmly entrenched in Huainan Road, she starts to do whatever she wants."
Wang Li changed his mind and said another thing.
"The eunuch who Zhou Xian was looking for was beaten severely by her, blaming him for not guarding the northern front and allowing An Shouzhong to raid. Anyone who has the brains to think about it knows that Yizhou is a ghost on the northern front! She just took her anger out on him.
, If you beat that eunuch this time, you will beat Zhou Xian next time."
Wu Ya'er thought for a while and glanced at the map on the side: "This An Shouzhong raid was indeed a defensive mistake. It is reasonable for her to be angry. It is a defensive mistake. If you are happy with this kind of thing, you don't care about it. As the leader of a group,
, on the contrary, unclear rewards and punishments are a bit of a joke..."
Wang Li shouted: "She beat people!"
"It's just beating people." Wu Ya'er said, "Did we fight too few? Over there in Mobei, the generals of the Zhenwu Army, did we fight too few?"
They must have attacked the entire Zhenwu Army, right? Those who could fight were attacked openly, while those who could not be attacked were beaten secretly with sacks and ambushes, Wang Li thought, but said angrily: "We all fight for a reason."
Wu Ya'er said: "There are reasons for beating people. Some reasons can be explained, and some reasons cannot be disclosed to the public."
Wang Li slapped the chair again: "She loves beautiful men and is surrounded by beautiful men. Let's not talk about Han Xulian Xiaojun. Old nonsense said that back in Dou County, you saw with your own eyes that she doted on a beautiful ranger."
Wu Ya'er didn't speak.
Wang Li sneered: "Are you looking for excuses again? Are you saying that we are too?"
Wu Ya'er stretched out his hand and touched his face and said, "I love beauties too, don't you? You went to spy on Governor Zhang's concubine taking a bath, and you whistled when you saw the little girl herding sheep on the road...
..”
Wang Li sighed and blushed: "Don't talk nonsense, I didn't go, it wasn't me."
Wu Ya'er did not ask him to find out who did it, and said: "But beauties don't love us and don't support us. Those beauties don't want to be loved by us. If Cui Xiangye loves me, I don't have to worry about being loved by the ministers."
They slandered them, it’s a pity..."
Wang Li was stunned and burst into laughter, then spat again with a smile: "That's really nonsense."
"But this is a fact." Wu Ya'er said.
Wang Li was speechless: "Yes, everyone likes her, but no matter what, she has to remember her identity..."
Wu Ya'er smiled and said: "She remembers her identity. I think you have forgotten her identity."
Wang Li was startled and understood what he meant. The couple was fake. Mrs. Chu knew that she was not Mrs. Wu, so of course she could like other men. However, he regarded Mrs. Chu as the real Mrs. Wu, so
It's not pleasing to the eye. If it's a woman who has nothing to do with them, he doesn't care whether she likes this today or that tomorrow!
"But she faked this identity." Wang Li said helplessly, "By virtue of this identity, she was given the title of Lady of Chu and gained the Huainan Road. She made a profit. She must respect this identity."
Wu Ya'er looked at Wang Li: "What are you thinking? She got Huainan Road and got Mrs. Chu not because of her status as Mrs. Wu. In this world, no one owes anyone a favor, let alone no one owes anyone.
"
Wu Ya'er Niang was still being supported by others. In terms of respect, they should respect her. Wang Li sat down angrily: "Anyway, this woman behaves too perversely and will get into trouble sooner or later. Nowadays, the world is changing day by day. Today she sat down."
I am proud of the Huainan Road, but I don’t know what will happen tomorrow, for example, Xiang Yun appears now."
Wu Ya'er reassured: "You are right, the world is unpredictable, you must think more carefully and prepare for everything ahead of time."
"Now we are in a stalemate with Ankang Mountain. He can't take back what we captured, and no matter how much more we capture, we can't capture it. We will definitely occupy a section here." Wang Lida said, "We know that we are accumulating strength in this section.
In the shock of Ankang Mountain, but to
As far as Linzhou is concerned, we just have no achievements and no military exploits. Others are now prosperous, especially Xiang Yun's nephew, Xiang Nan. It is said that Xuanwu Dao has also been reorganized into an army. Xuanwu Dao is the key point of the capital. This
Xiang's contribution is even greater."
Wu Ya'er smiled: "Speaking of this, this is not only the credit of Mr. Xiang, but half of it is my wife's credit. My wife's credit is naturally my credit."
Wang Li jumped up and thought, besides Lian Xiaojun, there was this one!
There was a life-and-death relationship between Mr. Xiang and Mrs. Chu when they were aiding Yizhou. Later, Mr. Xiang followed Mrs. Chu to attack Anton. Of course, some people reminded that the attack on Anton was done by the lady herself, but no one paid attention...
.. Later it was Mr. Xiang who guarded Anton, for his wife.
Now Madam is working with him to reorganize Xuanwu Dao. Mr. Xiang's white-robed soldiers are fighting for the vanguard, and Mrs. Chu sent people to appease the people and organize the government offices. The cooperation is flawless and they are in love...
The businessman was so moved that he was so intoxicated with himself that Wang Li poured a basin of water over his head.
"You also know about this? That was your daughter-in-law's gift to the pretty boy, not for you." Wang Lidao, reaching out to grab his hair, this woman has so many friends! "Fortunately she is not a real daughter-in-law, otherwise you would
How can you live!"
Anyway, if he had such a wife, he wouldn't be able to survive.
He will never find a wife again in this life.
Wang Li grabbed his hair and ran out screaming.
Wu Ya'er was the only one left in the room. No one said anything about Mrs. Chu Guo, but he was still smiling.
He lowered his head to read a letter on the table. It was a thin letter. It didn't mention the weather or Huainan Road affairs. It didn't even say anything about his mother's current situation. The writing had no format. It was like she was sitting next to him, thinking of
What, turned around and asked.
She asked: "How is your health recently?" "Have the injuries on your body healed?" "Are there any hidden injuries?" "Has the doctor seen it? How to say it?" "Have you been injured before? Are there any old diseases left behind?"
"
She finally said: "I care about your body. I am afraid that you will be injured or sick. Tell me where you are injured or sick. Don't hide it from me."
And she also told her children to care about him too.
Although Xiao Wan didn't say it, he must have received her order to check his body every five days.
The corners of Wu Ya'er's mouth turned up. There were rumors about how Mrs. Chu was nice to Han Xu, how she corresponded with Xiang Nan, and how she took Lian Xiaojun on flower-viewing trips. In fact, she also sent him letters to care about him and miss him...
..You don’t even know.
Well, if other people know this, they will also think that it is natural for a wife to care about her husband, but he knows that he is not her husband, and this concern is not natural, but her...
Wu Ya'er rubbed his fingers to get rid of the numbness and itch.
She probably likes him.
Wu Ya'er stood up and wanted to take a few steps, but felt it was unnecessary, so he sat down again.
As for the other men…
She likes beautiful things and people in the world, so what he should do is to become a beautiful person in the world, so that she can like her and like her even more...
What to do?
Wu Ya'er put down the pen he was holding, hesitated for a moment, and called out who was coming.
A private soldier came in and waited for orders.
Governor Wu did not give orders immediately, but motioned for him to take a few steps closer.
Confidential instructions! The soldiers understood and Su Rong stepped forward and leaned forward.
Wu Ya'er whispered to him: "General Wang just arrested a merchant, go and bring me some of the confiscated fabric from that merchant."
