Ji Han Da Sima

Chapter 144: Famous Assassin’s Car
She County, Bu's house.

In the small courtyard, a young girl in her twenties and eighties stood up straight, smiling as sweetly as possible in the cold wind.The dark coat made of brocade is slightly larger, but in the girl's sitting posture, she still shows her graceful figure. Her waist is slender and her round hips are slightly wider than her shoulders.

"The girl must not move lightly."

The painter holds the brush, sometimes raising his head, sometimes writing, and outlines the girl's appearance and figure on the scarf.

"Ok!"

The girl faced the afterglow from the west and straightened her aching waist.The bright rays of rays of light shone on her pure face, making her skin look like rosy clouds, like condensed fat.The long eyelashes trembled slightly, and there was a hint of shyness in the clear spring-like eyes.

The painter who painted the girl's heart beat rapidly, secretly marveling at the appearance of Bu's girl.

A beautiful young woman in her 40s or [-]s who still retains her charm touched the portrait of the girl on the scarf with her finger and said, "Make both cheeks smaller."

When Miss Bu wrinkled her nose when her mother said this, her chubby cheeks were quite cute.

"promise!"

The painter smelled the fragrant aroma and did not dare to think about anything else.This girl's mother is beautiful, but her eyebrows are too cold, which makes people feel fearful.

"We are relatives of Magistrate Bu of Haiyang County. If you paint well, you will be rewarded a lot." The young woman's clothes did not look like that of a noble lady. She was afraid that the painter would not be dedicated to her work, so he tried his best to emphasize her identity.

After a while, under the guidance of Bu Mu, the painter finally finished the portrait of the girl.

Stepmother picked up the scarf, looked at the portrait on it carefully, nodded slightly, and said, "Thank you, painter."

I saw that the girl in the portrait looked very much like a Bu girl sitting upright, with well-proportioned eyebrows, mouth and nose, and extremely beautiful face. Under the artist's slight touch-up, her face had a bit of seductive charm, which was different from Bu's mother. The expressions reflected in the smile on her face are similar, less pure and more delicate. It seems that this is the appearance of Bu's girl after she is a few years older.

After receiving the approval, the painter packed up his pen and ink, resigned and left under the guidance of his attendants.

Miss Bu stood up from the couch, walked up to her mother's side with her slender thighs, and pouted, "Mom, do you really want to send this painting to Nanchang?"

"It's so embarrassing!" the girl said with a blushing face, "It's like someone is choosing."

Stepmother touched the girl's face with her calloused palms and said: "This is Huo Taishou of Poyang County, a man with an official rank of two thousand shi, and a well-known man in Jianghuai. If you can marry him, you will not have to use it from now on." Even though I have to suffer the hardships of running around and toil, and enjoy the glory and wealth, my mother doesn’t have to endure the hardships of weaving day and night.”

"And you are not the only one who sent the portrait. I learned from your cousin Zishan's letter that the Lei family and the Mo family in Yuzhang all put portraits in their famous thorns. The girls from Jingzhou are famous for their thorns. Now if you want Huo Huo This is the only way for the governor to remember you."

Bumu suffered from displacement, fleeing from Xuzhou to Lujiang, and then from Lujiang to Shanyin in Kuaiji.Now because Bu Zhi became an official for Liu Bei, he moved from Shanyin to Danyang She County.

When he first arrived in Jiangdong, the Bu family was so poor that they had to grow melons. Bu Zhao was subordinate to the powerful men in the county and could only sell the melons of the family.In this way, Bu's mother worked hard to bring Bu Lianshi up, tried her best to give her a good education, and trained her to be a lady from a famous family.

The dark clothes Bu Lianshi is wearing today are still the clothes Bu's mother wore when she got married. It can be said that life is not easy.Today's step mothers are no different from some mothers in later generations. They only think about their livelihood and their daughter's future.

Trainer Bu leaned on his mother's arms, blinking his big eyes, his thoughts confused.Having been instilled with this idea by her mother since she was a child, she has long been accustomed to abide by her mother's ideas.

……

Nanchang, county government.

Liu Bei was looking at the map of Jiangdong, holding the slips in his hand and unconsciously tapping them in his hands, making a rhythmic sound.

Xu Shu entered the mansion holding the documents and asked, "My lord, are you thinking about the war in Jiangdong?"

Liu Bei stopped and said, "No, someone in Sizhongmiao used Jiang Gan's mouth to show weakness to Cao Cao." There were too many documents piled up, and Xu Shu could not bend down, so he shouted: "Jian Jun, can you help me get the official documents? "

"I'll do it!"

Tai Shiheng who was outside the door trotted in and helped Xu Shu put the documents on the desk.

Zhuge Liang entered with a wooden box weighing several kilograms. When he saw everyone in the hall, he complained: "Zhongmiao wants to take his wife, and the eldest son and I let the news out. In a few months, he actually received nearly a hundred famous nobles and portraits of girls. It seems that the name of Nanjun Huo Lang has already spread throughout Wu Chu!"

"What kind of noble families are there?"

Jian Yong walked over, opened the lid of the wooden box with curiosity, looked through the famous tattoos, and muttered: "Nanyang Zhu family, Yin family, Deng family, Wu family, Zong family, Lai family, Feng family... ; Yang family, Ma family, Xi family, Pang family, Fanzhong family, Luo family in Xiangyang...; Lei family, Zhou family, Peng family in Yuzhang..."

Looking at these nobles whom he had heard of and those he had never heard of, Jian Yong took a deep breath, shook his head and said, "If I had known that a certain person would take a wife more than ten years ago, I might not be able to choose one or two of these noble girls today." .”

As he spoke, Jian Yong subconsciously wanted to pick up a portrait of a certain girl.

Seeing this, Liu Bei held the slip and stretched out his hand to stop Jian Yong, and said with a smile: "These portraits of girls are given to Zhong Miao. It is not convenient for outsiders like me to see them."

Zhuge Liang also picked up the lid and closed it, saying: "Liang has never seen it. Wang Zhongxuan compiled these, and Liang just handed them over to Zhong Miao."

Jian Yong was not angry either. He pointed at Tai Shiheng who was eavesdropping and said, "My lord, why don't you find a wife for Yuan Fu? After all, Yuan Fu is already 16 years old."

Taishi Heng, an innocent young man, blushed instantly and fled away. Everyone in the hall burst into laughter.

After the fun was over, everyone began to be busy with military and political affairs.

"Lord!"

Zhuge Liang sent Liu Bei the report of the previous campaign against Chen Pu and Zu Shan, and said: "General Zhang pacified Linli Mountain. Chen Pu and Zushan died, and more than a thousand people were beheaded. The [-] households in Linli Mountain have been relocated separately. When they reach Lingyang, Yixian and Haiyang counties, they will be resettled by the county magistrates and their subordinate officials."

Liu Bei flipped through the content and said, "Is there someone to supervise the relocation situation?"

Xu Shu stood up from the table, cupped his hands and said, "My lord, from now on, I will drive to inspect the nine counties of Danyang to see if any of the county officials are corrupt, perverting the law, or derelict in their duties."

"Thank you!"

After Zhuge Liang joined Liu Bei's army, Xu Shu completely switched to administration, assisting Zhuge Liang in governing Danyang, and transferred to overseeing military supplies.Zhuge Liang admired Xu Shu for his rigorous work. The two were not only tacit partners in work, but also close friends in life.

Liu Bei put the text on the desk and said: "Kong Ming, Yunchang Wenjiu persuaded the brothers Sun Bi and Sun Fu to surrender, and sent them to Xuchang. To the south of Yuzhang, the land of Luling has been used by our army. Today Cao Cao pacified Hebei. Although Zhongmiao envoy Ce was arrogant, our army must seize the time and seek self-improvement. I don’t know from the perspective of military advisors, when can our army attack Wu Hui?"

Zhuge Liang gently shook his feather fan and said: "Sun Quan is sitting in Wu Commandery, connected to the river and down to Kuaiji. If you want to destroy it, you need to plan for the long term. In the spring of next year, the four counties of Yuzhang, Poyang, Luling, and Danyang can provide money and food. Lord If you want to destroy Sun Quan, you can wait until now to send troops."

After a pause, Zhuge Liang emphasized again: "The two Yuans are still here and fled north to Youzhou; Zhongmiao envoys are worried about arrogance. In the short term, Cao Cao has no intention of going south to Jiangdong. The Lord can send troops in the spring and withdraw his troops in the autumn and winter. , take advantage of the entire land east of the Yangtze River to recuperate and wait for Cao Cao."

Liu Bei pondered for a while and said: "Next year, Yunchang will lead an army to conquer Kuaiji and sweep away the barbarians; I will lead the main force out of Yishan, conquer the counties of Wujun, fight decisively with the Sun family, and then destroy them. How about that?"

Zhuge Liang gently shook his feather fan and said: "Zhongmiao is about to arrive in Nanchang, so why not discuss the important matter of conquering Wu together at that time? After all, Zhongmiao is good at water warfare."

"Can!"

"Shishuo Xinyu·Rong Zhi": "At that time, Huo Zhongmiao, the governor of Poyang, was very handsome and famous all over the world. He was twenty-six years old and wanted to marry a wife. Wu Chu Jiang Huai girls threw themselves into the carriages, and the portraits lingered in the house, begging to be his wife. Huo Wenying, a member of the same tribe, imitated this and went to the city and countryside to seek wives, and the women all spit on her."
