Don’t be too poisonous to the concubine of the Wu family who was born in Wu

Chapter 521 179. The grace of knowing each other (Situ and Dongfang become friends with Marquis Shangguan)
  Shangguan Marquis drank the wine in one gulp and put the wine glass in his hand on the table without any haste. A rare smile appeared on his lips. Whenever this action appeared, Dongfang Shuo and Situ Lan felt chilled in their hearts. They were afraid that the Lord would send them again. Do the work for yourself.

Sure enough, as soon as the two of them drank the wine from the glass, Shangguan Marquis opened his mouth and issued an order: "This Huang Shiliang has a bad heart and is so bold that he doesn't know who he is even if he has some power. If he is allowed to continue to develop wantonly, It won't be long before he forgets who his master is! This villain just can't give him too many rights. If he doesn't make full use of his rights, he will use them for personal use. Who granted the rights in his hands, and what is they used for?"

Since Situ Lan had just been reprimanded, he shouldn't be too pretentious at this moment. He restrained his temper, kept silent, and looked at Dongfang Shuo.

Dongfang Shuo put on his artificial eyebrows and eyebrows, feeling cold in his heart. His face remained calm, without looking sideways, with a stern look on his face.

After all, Dongfang Shuo still saw Situ Lan's eyes. He knew that Situ Lan was no longer suitable to speak at this time, and if he couldn't help himself, the atmosphere would become cold and awkward...

Although Dongfang Shuo doesn't like to talk, he is a person who assesses the situation and knows what he should and should not say.

At this point, Dongfang Shuo understood and spoke modestly -

"Then what the Lord means is..."

Marquis Shangguan was not in a hurry to answer Dongfang Shuo's question. He turned around, thought for a moment, sat down steadily, and subconsciously took another look at the wine glass.

This Situ Lan is quite smart. He never rushes to do any hand or foot work. Before Dongfang Shuo can step forward, he quickly eats his own food and gets ahead of Dongfang Shuo. He hurriedly lowers his head and lowers his waist to pour wine for his master. Pour water, and serve diligently with hands and feet.

Seeing this, Dongfang Shuo felt enlightened and was not in a hurry to compete with Situ Lan for credit. By handing over the work of serving people to him, it was also a chance to give him a chance to perform.

Situ Lan has always been fond of talking, and is known as a "coloratura". Situ Lan is definitely a cadre material. He can talk, deceive, deceive and cajole. If someone uses his words, he will break his legs.

It's not that Dongfang Shuo can't speak, but he doesn't want to say so much. It's enough for Marquis Shangguan to have such a clever mouthed brother next to him. Any excess is worthless. One person has his own specialty. If Situ Lan talks, someone has to move his legs. Why bother with others? Strive to speak quickly, talk less and work more is Dongfang Shuo's way of survival.

Instead of playing around with his thoughts, trying to please others, making calculations, spitting at the mouth, and using his mind to kill, Dongfang Shuo would rather do more physical work.

Although I am physically tired, my mind is not tired, and that is enough...

Who would have thought that with the turn of events, Situ Lan, who prided himself on his verbal skills every day, would now have to rely on his hands and feet to please his master, which is really a bit sad.

As the saying goes, don't offend anyone with power, so what if you are talented? If you make your superior uncomfortable, he will make your hero useless. If it is a dragon, you can coil it for me, if it is a tiger, you can lie down for me.

Marquis Shangguan didn't look at Situ Lan seriously at all, but he actually enjoyed his service. He raised his glass and held it on his lips. He thought about it for a long time before speaking.

"In this way, you two are looking for an opportunity to unknowingly do this to Huang Shiliang and make it look like he died unexpectedly. I will find a way to explain it to my eldest brother. Remember, no matter what this guy says, I'm trying to shut him up completely. I don't want to hear what he explains, and I don't want his mouth to say anything that is not helpful to others. Do you understand?"

Upon hearing this, Situ Lan and Dongfang Shuo immediately bowed their heads respectfully and accepted the order: "Yes - I obey your order, my lord."

Shangguan Marquis secretly thought to himself: This person is probably referring to the eldest young master... It seems that the relationship between the second young master and the eldest young master is really extraordinary, not what others have said.

It is said that the eldest young master secretly squeezed and squeezed out the second young master in the wealthy family, but the second young master never cared about the past grudges and was still respectful and polite to the first young master. He did not dare to make any mistakes. It was obvious that the second young master's ability was already superior to the first young master. He is always so forbearing, and sometimes even his servant feels aggrieved.

But then again, the Second Young Master, who values ​​love and justice, is so protective of an elder brother who has been trying to squeeze him out, let alone the servants who follow him.

Therefore, I really did not make a mistake. Being able to follow a master like the Second Young Master, I regard this as a blessing that I, as a servant, have cultivated for eight lifetimes. What else can I be dissatisfied about?

What's more, the second young master was kind to me in those years and spared no effort to save his terminally ill mother. If the second young master hadn't set out to find the unique Tianshan Snow Lotus in the world, his mother would have died three years ago. Before, I was destined to return to the west...

Dongfang Shuo's mother was not an inconspicuous second wife in the Dongfang family. His father Dongfang Ming was a soft persimmon. He was afraid that the eldest family would come from an official family. However, his mother had a special status and was not favored in the Dongfang family. Being ostracized and cold.

A woman who fell out of favor was naturally ostracized and neglected in a big family. Soon Dongfang Shuo's mother fell ill for a long time. If Marquis Shangguan hadn't ordered his military doctor to come to Dongfang Mansion to personally treat Dongfang Shuo's mother, the consequences would have been disastrous.

After Dongfang Shuo's mother recovered, Marquis Shangguan actually asked for an imperial edict from Dongfang Shuo's mother——

Because Dongfang Shuo repeatedly broke records and had outstanding military exploits, he specially named Dongfang Shuo's mother as the third-grade imperial concubine. Her official rank was second only to Dongfang Shuo's eldest mother.

Such a great gift, Dongfang Shuo understood that this was the special favor of Marquis Shangguan. His mother's status in the Dongfang family was improved, and her life became much easier.

From then on, Dongfang Shuo's respect for Marquis Shangguan came from the bottom of his heart. He always told himself that his life belonged to Marquis Shangguan. No matter whether he was on the sword or in the sea of ​​fire, he would do his best and never refuse.

At this point, Dongfang Shuo lowered his head and glanced at Marquis Shangguan, sighing secretly——

My Lord is such a person. He handles everything without showing any signs of failure. He always steps forward to help you resolve crises and eliminate all difficulties at critical moments. He doesn’t ask for credit afterwards. He is always like this. Pan Jingruo is calm, following such a master, he has no regrets.

At this time, Marquis Shangguan drank another drink, and Situ Lan's face was full of hospitality, like a child who had done something wrong, showing off all kinds of grievances and pity in front of his mother, trying to please his parents.

Situ Lan was picking up food and serving Marquis Shangguan a drink. He looked aggrieved and pitiful just to make Marquis Shangguan express his feelings just now.

This is what the saying goes, accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger. If he offends his master, Situ Lan knows that his good days will come to an end...

I think back then, because Situ Lan only loved drama and was obsessed with the role of Huadan, her performance on stage was a masterpiece. Her lifelike female costumes fascinated many audiences in the audience and praised them. No one would have thought that behind this famous Huadan , turned out to be a man.

Forget about being a man, Situ Lan is a man who understands women better than women. His figure is more enchanting than women, his singing voice is more ecstatic than women's, and his eyebrows are more charming than women's.

It's a pity that Situ Lan is the eldest son of the famous Situ family and the eldest son. He actually likes to dress up as a woman. He doesn't like martial arts or politics, but he only falls in love with this opera.

Situ Lan enjoyed it endlessly and was addicted to the drama. He put on heavy makeup and costumes every day, and looked like a ghost or a ghost, a man or a woman, which completely disgraced the Situ family.

For this reason, the Situ family burned Situ Lan's costumes more than once, demolished his stage, drove away the audience, and responded with violence with violence. They just hoped that the rebellious son of their own family, the prodigal son, would turn around, clearly understand his identity, and return to the world. He has the responsibility and responsibility as the eldest son of the Situ family.

However, when a person is obsessed with his own hobby, how can others interfere with it? Situ Lan ignored the opposition of his tribe and family and continued his hobby as always. No matter how much his family objected or how extreme his methods were, he gritted his teeth and persisted. own interests.

Because in his eyes, opera is no longer as simple as a hobby or interest, but an enjoyment of beauty, an interpretation and attitude towards life.

Situ Lan doesn't like tactics and doesn't like human affairs. He just wants to be immersed in his own stage and just be the golden star in the center of the stage——

Life is like a drama, drama is like life.

Seeing that the bastard's eldest son was terminally ill and hopeless, the Situ family simply gave up on treatment and let his unsatisfactory son go away as he wished.

It's just that Situ Lan's identity is embarrassing, but he is the eldest son who is envied and hated by many children of the Situ family.

Therefore, when Mr. Situ completely gave up on Situ Lan, his misfortune truly began -

From then on, many of Situ Lan's younger brothers tried to assassinate, poison, frame, and frame him in order to take his own identity. They did everything they could to remove themselves from that position. One can imagine how vicious the methods were. Situ Lan was desperate. He knew that without the protection of his father, he was nothing but a basket of mud. Without the support of powerful people, even a decent costume was a luxury.

With the impact of various forces coming, Situ Lan saw through life, hated it, and even laughed at himself for being the stupidest fool in the world.

That night, Situ Lan put on the most beautiful clothes on his stage, put on the colorful clothes that he sewed stitch by stitch, sang a song without regrets, and ended the rest of his life...

I just hope that in the next life, I will never be reincarnated into a high-ranking and powerful family, and it will be enough to just be a leading actress in a theater troupe.

Situ Lan sang and performed with great joy, "Farewell My Concubine". Without her, Yu Concubine still passed away with tears in her eyes...

Just when Situ Lan was about to commit suicide, a burst of bright applause came from the audience.

Situ Lan was stunned, put down the sword in his hand, eyes brimming with tears, and stared down.

I saw Shangguan Marquis alone, sitting in the midfield. He was obviously looking at a gentle young man, but he had a good temperament and a domineering aura that made people unable to take their eyes away.

Situ Lan lowered his hands. He had clearly prepared for the worst tonight. Why would such a man appear in his theater at this time?

"Who are you? This place is closed today. Who let you in?"

Marquis Shangguan put his hands on his chest, leaned back, and said with a curl of his lips: "Who else is there in this theater? Apart from you, the stage leader? Can't I just come and go as I please without anyone stopping me?"

Hearing this, Situ Lan lowered his head and smiled bitterly, muttering in a low voice: "Isn't it true...Who else is here besides myself? I think too highly of myself..."

But unexpectedly, Shangguan Marquis suddenly answered: "That's not right~ In addition to me, there are also a group of uninvited black knights, Mr. Su Ailan, who are spreading around the corner of your west courtyard, eavesdropping on your show~~ "

As he said that, the Shangguan princes clapped their hands, and saw a sudden influx of a group of black mercenaries in green. In the hands of these mercenaries was a group of assassins in black...

Seeing this, Situ Lan suddenly realized it, and immediately burst into tears and smiled bitterly——

"Hehehe~~ My brothers and sisters!! It doesn't look like I'm down-to-earth enough, right? Do you have to kill me? Today... I would have killed myself without them taking action. They were too impatient... …”

While Situ Lan was screaming and screaming, at some unknown moment, Marquis Shangguan had already rushed to the stage, stood upright, started singing, and sounded like a military commander, with the arrogance of the Overlord of Chu. With all his clothes and accessories, Marquis Shangguan has already sung the charm and momentum of his overlord.

Situ Lan was stunned, with tears in his eyes, and suddenly he was smiling again and again, and he didn't even feel that he was joking...

The strength can lift the mountains and the world is overwhelming, but the times are not good and the glory will not pass away;
  What can be done if the glory is not gone, what can be done if there is a danger;
  Success or failure is temporary, but we must also know that victory and defeat are common;

The road ahead is dim and full of storms, I bow my head and sigh alone;

Love should never be forgotten in your mood, and you should not worry about the coming of bad luck;
  Love should be cut off even if it is not cold, but I am speechless at this moment;

The Han soldiers have plundered the land, and they are besieged on all sides;
  The king is exhausted, how can I survive this humble concubine...

Yu Ji drew her sword and sealed her throat. When she was about to bid farewell to the Overlord, Shangguan Marquis grabbed the hilt of Yu Ji's sword, took her into his arms, and whispered in his ear——

"Are you willing to just leave like this?"

Situ Lan was disheartened, lowered his head and sneered: "Isn't this the result that everyone in the Situ family wants? If I leave, the Situ family will not be humiliated because of me, an actor..."

Marquis Shangguan came out of the blue and held Situ Lan's chin with one hand, forcing him to watch the scene under the stage.

A group of men in black were forced to kneel on the ground. After a group of men in green stood up, bright blades were placed on the necks of the men in black, forcing them to watch the performance on the stage.

Shangguan Marquis whispered in a whisper and said unhurriedly: "Do you know that those villains will only hide in the dark and not be seen in the light of others? If you die, not only will your Situ family not be able to eliminate any scandals, but on the contrary, because The death of you, the eldest son, will become the biggest doubt and disaster for the Situ family - your position is unresolved. In order to compete for the position of the eldest son, the brothers will fight one after another and kill each other. In the face of fame and fortune, who cares about the sibling relationship? Woolen cloth?"

At this point, Situ Lan's eyes trembled, and for some reason, his heart suddenly throbbed.

Shangguan Marquis continued to speak: "No one is happy in life. Happiness only lasts for a moment. If you think you are tired or miserable, who doesn't? It's not your fault that you love opera..."

Situ Lan was so excited that she said: "The mistake is that I was born into the wrong family. If I were not the eldest son of the Situ family, my life would not be so miserable!"

Marquis Shangguan was silent for a moment, thought for a long time, and then said, "Do you want to continue singing?"

Situ Lan was stunned, slowly turned around, and said with a dazed look: "What do you mean?"

Marquis Shangguan did not show off, and spoke frankly: "I can guarantee your prosperity for the rest of your life. No one dares to bully you. You can secure your position as the eldest son of your family, and you can also continue your life-long love of opera."

Situ Lan's eyes flashed with doubt, "Haha~~ There is no free lunch in the world. For such a good condition, you have to pay a corresponding price, right?"

The corners of Marquis Shangguan's lips curled up with a hint of ghostliness and he said: "That's right. I don't ask for much. As long as you, Situ Lan, are willing to follow me, Marquis Shangguan, for the rest of your life, I will give you everything you want. If you are a descendant of your family, I will give you everything." If you give the order to the person who made the mistake, I will destroy his body. If you like drama, I will give you the most expensive costume in the world. Even if you travel around and perform, you will not lose your demeanor as a great master of Situ. , the only one who can protect your reputation and take care of your interests these days is Shangguan Marquis - think about it for yourself, my Marquis Mansion will always open the door for you."

After saying this, Marquis Shangguan pushed the sword away from Situ Lan's hand. Hearing a "clang", the sword fell to the ground, followed by Situ Lan and collapsed to the ground.

Looking at the majestic back of Marquis Shangguan, Situ Lan already had the answer in his heart——

"A woman will look good for someone who pleases her, but she will die for her confidant. Lord Shangguan Marquis... I will only look out for you in this life..."

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, Situ Lan has followed Marquis Shangguan for five years. In these years, Situ Lan's life has been quite comfortable——

Situ Lan understood the significance of staying with Marquis Shangguan. He was clinging to the position of the eldest son of the Situ family, and at the same time he got what he wanted. He went further and further on the road of his opera, with only a few changes.

Situ Lan took advantage of his status as a famous actor and actor to find out some necessary relevant information while singing and singing in wealthy families. This also created favorable conditions for his repeated military exploits with Marquis Shangguan.

And Situ Lan also clearly understood that everything he wanted was due to Marquis Shangguan. With his order, he could ascend to the sky and enjoy the blessings of thousands of people. He could do whatever he wanted, and his family would not dare to interfere with him like before. He despises himself, but instead tries to fawn over himself and act based on his own expression.

It was also an order from Marquis Shangguan, and his life would fall into hell, and he would go back to the days when even his younger brother could kick his nose in the face and make all kinds of mistakes...

Such a world of difference made Situ Lan's heart feel cold, and he did not want to go back to the old self that he couldn't bear to look back on...
