Shuhan

Liu Chan's residence in Langzhong.

In the school grounds.

Zhou Che, dressed in military uniform and holding a sword in his hand, was dancing vigorously in the school grounds.

At this moment, she was considered the most special existence in the mansion.

Ability to enter and exit the backyard.

He can wield swords and guns, and can even enter the study and see Liu Chan directly.

The servants in the mansion and the foreign ministers all regarded her as Liu Chan's woman.

But only she knew in her heart that she was not yet, not at all.

"Ahhh~"

As if thinking of something unpleasant, Zhou Che waved his sword and slashed hard at the straw man in front of him.

Looking at this empty straw man without eyes, Zhou Che regarded the straw man in front of her as the man who made her mood fluctuate greatly.

Call ~

After chopping for a while, the straw man was already in disrepair, and Zhou Che's chest was rising and falling violently, and he seemed to be tired.

why!

Zhou Che raised his head and looked at the sky, with doubts in his heart.

why?

When we were hunting in the fields of Langshan that day, didn't we say we wanted to stay in Fuzhong?

What about you?

but

Who said I would give it to you?

Even if I were in the mansion, I would not agree.

Zhou Che was so conflicted that in the end, she didn't even know what she was thinking.

Whether she wants it or not.

Does she like it or not?

do not know.

She really doesn't know.

She just felt that she had encountered the most difficult problem in her life. Normally, she could answer all the questions and understand them clearly. However, when faced with this problem, she was at a loss.

"Little thief, little thief, little thief!"

Zhou Che struck hard, and the straw man's head was chopped off with his sword.

at this time.

In the school grounds, a maid slowly stepped forward and said softly: "Girl, Mrs. Xiao Qiao invites you."

Auntie?

What is she looking for me for?

Is it because of the little thief?

Qiang~

Zhou Che returned the sword to its sheath, jumped off the school grounds, and said, "I know."

After saying that, he headed towards the backyard.

When he arrived at Xiao Qiao's room, Zhou Che was still in a daze.

Because of Liu Chan, she hadn't been to Xiao Qiao's room for a long time, but now she discovered that this house had changed a lot in this short period of time.

There are many more decorative items, such as bronze mirror dressing table, rouge box, perfume, and powder.

There are also many more rewards from Liu Chan.

Seeing these things, Zhou Che realized in his heart that his mother had completely set her heart on that man and was willing to be his woman.

There's nothing wrong with that

Zhou Che thought unwillingly and bitterly, with a little ambivalence.

"Mother, I wonder why you asked your daughter to come here?"

Xiao Qiao looked at Zhou Che in martial arts uniform, stepped forward and asked, "Are you going to the school to practice martial arts again?"

Zhou Che nodded.

"Not to kill the enemy, just to defend myself."

Seeing the toughness in her daughter's words, Xiao Qiao felt that her relationship with her daughter had unconsciously become estranged.

yes~

A few days ago, her heart was focused on that man. Even before she met her daughter, she was still thinking about that man.

But now after meeting Zhou Che, her mind suddenly changed.

In order to win favor, he has to embarrass his daughter and push her into the fire pit. Is this worth it?

"Mom, why did you call your daughter here?"

Seeing his mother hesitating and hesitating to speak, Zhou Che raised his eyebrows and asked, "Did he bully my mother?"

Bully?

Xiao Qiao shook his head and said: "He didn't bully me, just"

Seeing the unspeakable expression on Xiao Qiao's face, Zhou Che became even more anxious.

Could it be that.

Did that little thief force his mother?

Forcing her to do shameful things that she wouldn't normally do?

"It doesn't matter if I say it, my daughter will seek justice for her, and she will definitely stop him from bullying her."

Who said he was here to bully me?

It was me who was thinking and begging him to 'bully' me!

Da Qiao looked at Xiao Qiao's appearance, and for the sake of the happiness of his lower body, he immediately stepped forward and said, "Actually, we asked you to come here because we asked Che'er to come up with the idea."

Come up with ideas to deal with that little thief?

it is good!

Zhou Che nodded immediately and said, "I have been dissatisfied with that little thief for a long time. If I can deal with him now, Che'er will definitely give advice to my aunt and grandma and seek justice for you!"

Da Qiao knew that Zhou Che was thinking wrongly, and his expression froze.

She could only smile awkwardly and said with some embarrassment: "Auntie really wants you to come up with an idea, but this idea is not to deal with His Highness, but how to snatch His Highness away from those beauties. return."

Stealing people?

It's not easy to rob people.

Wait a moment?

Zhou Che's expression suddenly froze.

"Auntie, what do you mean by this?"

Zhou Che's eyes widened, and every pore on her face seemed to express her disbelief.

Steal a man?

Fight for favor!

This.

How could this be something that my mother and aunt came to me to ask for my advice on?

"My aunt and your aunt came from Jiangdong, and all their wealth and wealth are pinned on Your Highness. If your love is gone, we are afraid that our life will be very sad. Che'er, think about your mother and your aunt. Come up with an idea!"

Zhou Che shook his head, smiled bitterly, and said, "Can't beauties like aunt and grandma not be able to attract that little thief?"

Although Da Qiao felt ashamed, he tried his best to pretend that he didn't care and said: "Because those beauties, with their extraordinary looks and noble status, are the wives and concubines of Lord Badi Lin, and they are sisters to each other."

"Even what?"

Now, even Da Qiao had an unspeakable expression on his face.

Zhou Che felt something was wrong.

But at this moment, Da Qiao is willing to risk everything for his own happy life.

"Even, there are even two beauties who are their daughters."

daughter?

Zhou Che's eyes widened even more.

daughter?

Mother and daughter?

She looked at Da Qiao in disbelief, then turned to look at Xiao Qiao.

"Mother, is this what you mean?"

"I?"

Xiao Qiao argued: "I don't have it for my mother."

You didn't have it until you met me, right?

Hey ~

Zhou Che sighed in his heart.

She looked at her aunt and then at her mother.

Everyone said that the burly Prince Liu Gongsi was good at playing with people's hearts, but they didn't know that he was even better at playing with the bodies and people of women like them.

The aunt and mother have only been together for a long time, and they have changed from the fierce women they were before to what they are now.

Thinking of those two words, Zhou Che found it difficult to speak.

"If it is to compete for favor, it is natural for the daughter to help the aunt and the mother-in-law." Zhou Che smiled bitterly and said: "Anyway, the daughter is already the prey and plaything of the little thief, so she sacrifices herself in advance, so what?"

As he spoke, Zhou Che's eyes were already filled with tears.

"Mother doesn't mean that."

Seeing his daughter's pear blossoms with rain, Xiao Qiao couldn't stand it any longer. He immediately stepped forward and held Zhou Che in his arms.

"It's my mother who has no sense of shame. Che'er doesn't have to wrong herself."

Zhou Che stopped his tears in Xiao Qiao's arms. When he looked up again, except for the slightly red and swollen eyes, there were no more tears.

"Don't worry, my daughter will not wrong her. However, in troubled times, we women can only drift with the waves like duckweeds. Besides being men's playthings and men's vassals, what else can we do? "

How great would it be if I were a man?

The thoughts that have appeared in my mind countless times have arisen in my mind again.

But this time, Zhou Che completely shattered this idea.

She chuckled bitterly and said, "Maybe I should say goodbye to my willful self once and for all."

Women have to do women's things.

This era, after all, is not the era of women.

It’s time to recognize yourself.

Zhou Che stood up from Xiao Qiao's arms and said with a smile: "Men like the new and dislike the old. No matter how favored that beautiful woman is, it is only temporary. It won't be long before she will naturally return to her aunt and grandma." around."

But the smile on Zhou Che's face seemed a little forced.

"My daughter has a way to ask His Highness to come to Grandma's room tonight."

Zhou Che pursed his lips slightly. She originally came to prevent Liu Chan from entering her mother and aunt's room, but now she wanted to invite him instead.

The changes in the past few months made even Zhou Che himself feel like he was in another world.

"Che'er, what can you do?"

Zhou Che turned around and touched his eyes, and found that there were no tears on them. Then he said coldly: "A daughter has her own way."

With that said, she left without waiting for Er Qiao to continue speaking.

"Cher?"

Xiao Qiao called out, but saw his daughter walking further and further away.

She looked at her sister with a miserable look on her face, her lips trembling slightly.

"Sister, did we do something wrong?"

make a mistake?

Da Qiao sighed deeply and said: "It is impossible for us to return to Jiangdong, and it is impossible for Cheer to return to Jiangdong. Even if we return to Jiangdong, there will be no good end. Now we are all prosperous, and even our lives. It all depends on His Highness, there is no other way."

She walked up to Xiao Qiao, gently held him in her arms, and whispered softly: "Che'er has entered His Highness's backyard for a long time. Although he has not done anything as a couple, in the eyes of outsiders, Che'er Erbian is already His Highness's woman, and she has no other destination. Does anyone dare to marry her? Besides, is there a better match in the world than Your Highness?"

Is that a good match?

There are so many warblers around him, and Zhou Che's girl is so stubborn, isn't this a fire pit?

Besides

What kind of thing is a mother and daughter serving the same husband?

"But the scattered vegetation is a fear of the twilight of beauty. Once the spring is gone, the beauty will grow old, and the flowers will fall and people will die. Sister, how long can our beauty last? If we cannot give birth to an heir for His Highness, what can we rely on? , that’s Cheer.”

After hearing this, even Xiao Qiao could only remain silent.

In troubled times, human life is like a piece of grass.

Women are like clothing.

This is especially true for women with color and appearance.

As the world drifts with the tide, can they, weak women, still buck the trend?
-

I am the dividing line——

Langzhong Mansion.

In the main meeting hall.

Liu Chan was sitting upright on the main seat.

After being absent from Badi for more than a month, Liu Chan is now diligent and comes to the main hall early every day.

One is to set an example for the ministers.

After all, as the lord, if he remains in this lazy state, how can his subordinates be diligent in their duties?

Your Highness has set an example. If it is not worthwhile to take the lead, then we don’t need to come, or we may arrive late.

Liu Chan must curb this unhealthy trend.

There is no king's soil under the whole world, and there is no king's ministers on the coast of leading the soil.

The ministers are just like cows and horses. Is that okay if you don't work hard for me?

This is not good!

Second, the construction of Bati is now in a critical period, and Liu Chan has to follow up on some key decisions. After all, this phase of the project is to serve as a prototype and demonstration site for the subsequent construction of Bati.

The demonstration project must be done well.

Third, Liu Chan was feeling tired after enjoying too much beauty.

Now when I get along with beautiful women, I feel like I am just doing something to carry on the family line, and the fun is suddenly reduced by half.

is the reason

Liu Chan would rather work than go to the backyard these days.

The feeling of being left out arose in Xiao Qiao's heart. This was really an injustice to Liu Chan.

Even for those beauties, Liu Chan only went there once.

"Your Highness, the Jianjunsi stall is too big. There are even some non-staff personnel who only communicate on one or two lines. They are directly under the jurisdiction of hundreds or thousands of households. Even I, the acting commander, don't know. All kinds of money and silk are spent from unknown sources. , it cost a lot of money, and there may be corruption among them, so Your Highness has to investigate!"

Jian Junsi was able to obtain intelligence in advance and set off a public opinion offensive in the enemy's country, relying on the strength of numbers and Liu Chan's willingness to spend money.

Just the money and silk that Jian Junsi pays is probably enough to support an army of tens of thousands.

There are various open and hidden lines intertwined endlessly, and even the commander in charge of the military department may not necessarily know everything.

After all, some households, even small banners and general banners, were directly responsible to him, the prince of Han Dynasty.

"Don't worry about a little money and silk. Besides, if you dare to be greedy for money, Lian Fengjie is not a person who only gets paid for free."

All money and silk expenditures of the Jianjun Division are clear.

Regardless of whether it is an open line or a hidden line, whether the matter is successful or failed, the situation will be summarized at the headquarters, and then the various expenditures will be clear.

"This"

Ma Su still wanted to argue, but Liu Chan was already a little impatient.

"It's late tonight, so that's all for now."

Ma Su opened his mouth. Although he still had a lot to say, Liu Chan had already spoken like this. What else could he do?

I had to make a promise.

Return to the backyard of the mansion.

Sitting in the study, Liu Chan had a thoughtful look on his face.

Military Division.

This organization is indeed too large and has too many functions.

Maybe get a point?

This Jianjunsi is similar to the Jinyiwei in later generations. The person in charge of the Jianjunsi must be a person with great power.

It’s really uneasy to hand over such a powerful person to a foreign minister!

Like this Ma Su, although his intentions are not bad, he wants to make Junsi Jian better.

But

If you command the unification of military division authority, what if it bites the Lord?

When Liu Chan was thinking about how to arrange the military affairs duties, the guard announced at the door of the study: "Your Highness, Madam Zhou Che wishes to see you."

Zhou Che?

Liu Chan nodded immediately and said, "Let her come in."

As for the word madam, Liu Chan naturally ignored it.

But even when he noticed it, he smiled sarcastically.

This woman, who is my heiress Liu, should be called Madam in advance. Why not?

"Little girl Zhou Che, please pay homage to His Highness!"

Zhou Che lowered his head and his clothes looked a little "cool".

Liu Chan could clearly feel that Zhou Che seemed a little different today than before. (End of chapter)
