Three Kingdoms.

  Chapter 1884 Small Compromise, Big Compromise

  A person with a strong head is often admired. Because the head is so hard, it is often **** and bloody. Occasionally, those who break through the thorns and stand out are applauded, and most of them forget the scars and bloodstains all over their bodies, and it is easy to ignore all kinds of flowers and fertilizers that died under the thorns.

  And most people, the direction they choose is basically a compromise.

  Huang Yueying chose to compromise for the sake of prosperity. Liu Biao compromised in military power and let Cai make meritorious deeds. Cao Hong compromised his reputation and provoked the Cao family to collect money. Cao Cao compromised in personnel matters, and sent a signal to Chen Qun and other Yingchuan gentry. From the perspective of Hussar General Fei Qian, he naturally compromised, but what Fei Qian compromised was his own emotions and desires.

  Although Huang Yueying has spoken, but Fei Qian is still unable to marry Cai Yan, not because Lang Ruqing's concubine has no intentions, but because Fei Qian has to use Cai Yan's current name to do something before marrying Cai Yan.

Using someone you like to seek profit, this will feel a little uncomfortable, but for the overall strategic layout, it has to be like this, because up to now, under Fei Qian's rule, even if there is Zhao Zhangxu Wei Taishi Waiting for outstanding military generals, but they are all men, which is not helpful for the political system that Fei Qian intends to implement for women to serve as officials and have the right to heirs.

Only when Cai Yan is pushed out first, after serving for a period of time, and even when other female officials begin to bloom, can Fei Qian truly marry Cai Yan, otherwise he will inevitably suffer verbal criticism, and then not only will Fei Qian be criticized, It will even implicate Cai Yan, because the language must be vicious and humiliate the ancestors. The keyboard warriors of the Han Dynasty are not much weaker than those of later generations.

At the same time, when withdrawing from the card of Cai Yan, it cannot be said that Cai Yan is completely facing the thorns, and Cai Yan must be given some protection, or it is easier to stand next to Cai Yan. target under attack.

for example…

  …(..)づ…

  In Chang'an, Zhen Mi's other courtyard.

Although Mrs. Zhen said that she lived in Chang'an for a while, according to her previous habits in Jizhou, how could she get less money for her glory, but the wealth she brought to Chang'an was not endless, so unconsciously, she was I began to feel the malice of life.

  『Now that Mrs. Zhen is like this, she mourns under the roof of others and loses all face! Could it be that she still needs to show off her **** skills and seek a trick? Zhen Mi said a little angrily, "If Guanshi Li feels that Mrs. Zhen is unbearable, he can let go of the annual contract he signed, and there is no need to refund the monthly salary, he can just go away!" 』

Although it is said that Mrs. Zhen came to Chang'an with the intention of flattering General Hushi, but if she wanted to make Mrs. Zhen act like a prostitute and recommend herself as a pillow for Hushi, Zhen Mi would not be able to do it anyway, so Hearing that the steward suggested to let her visit Fei Qian again, and even vaguely expressed that she could dress up more gorgeously, etc., Zhen Mi was somewhat irritated, and immediately scolded her coldly.

   After hearing Zhen Mi's words, Li Guanshi also frowned slightly, slightly displeased. Although it is said that there is an affiliation relationship between Guan Shi and the Zhen family, unlike the sons of the so-called Zhen family who came from Jizhou, Li Guanshi was originally from Chang'an, and it was the Zhen family who came to Chang'an for more convenient activities and connections. They will be hired after Chang'an.

  In Li Guanshi's view, isn't Zhen's only good looks and posture now? Why bother to be hypocritical? In addition, General Hussars now only has one wife and one concubine, if Zhen Shi can use his appearance to entertain people and enter the Hussars hall, wouldn't it be a hundred times better than it is now?

   Butler Li cupped his hands and said: "This is only for the sake of the master, and under the urgency of the situation, most of them are slips of the tongue, and they should be punished..."

Zhen Mi took a breath, calmed down a bit, and said, "If that's the case, Guanshi Li is worrying too much... General Hussar's affairs are cumbersome, so if he goes rashly, it will be ineffective. If he stays for a few days, if the Hussar wants to See you, nature calls...」

   Guanshi Li lowered his eyelids, "What the master said is true! 』You also know that Hussar General has complicated affairs? What will happen if you are forgotten by then, or if you leave Chang'an for other matters?

  If you want to be rich, is there any reason to sit and wait?

  But since Zhen Mi was already like this, and he didn't listen to persuasion, Guan Shi didn't bother to say anything more. After a few promises, he excused Zhen Mi to leave because he had something to deal with.

  Zhen Mi's slender eyebrows were slightly frowned, like ripples on the surface of a lake, and her expression also changed a lot, which was quite complicated for a while. I have been in Chang'an for some time, and I know some things about General Hushi better than I did in Jizhou. Looking at it from a general perspective, regardless of other things, but personally, Zhen Mi also really admires Hushi General Fei Qian as a wonderful person.

   Throughout the ages, self-made successful people are often admirable, and the same is true for hussars. Born as an offshoot of the Fei family, when the imperial court was turbulent, instead of being submerged in the blood rain and the underworld, instead, it was soaring all the way, from the four walls of the family to the power pass, dominating the north and south, all kinds of things here, thinking about it All of them were shaken and extremely emotional.

Although the Zhen family is incomparable to the family of the fourth generation and the third lord, it is not the family of Bai Ding. It has been known in the family since childhood, but most of those who use **** to entertain people will suffer bad fate, just like things for people to play for fun. , I like it today and hate it tomorrow, and the children of the gentry often do dirty things in the name of elegance, there are so many things, and Zhen Mi is not uncommon. When I think that if I really become a plaything of flesh and blood one day, I can only flirt. Wouldn't it be like a street prostitute?

  If it is really reduced to this point, life would be worse than death!

   Zhen Mi's eyes gradually dropped, and she couldn't help but also fell to her own slim place. Now that the age is getting older and the 28th is the best season, this figure is like a peony that is about to bloom. The bright colors are really hard to hide, and the clothes are floating and faintly visible.

   Zhen Mi sighed quietly.

  Nowadays, like a person carrying a jade, walking in the busy city, who knows that under the lead, it is unspeakable suffering?

  Some things can be compromised, but some things are hard to find.

  When Zhengzheng Zhen Mi sighed, a servant came to report that it was Mr. Webster's birthday, the young master, who came to visit.

If the Zhen family wants to gain a foothold in Chang'an, it is naturally impossible to do nothing, not to mention that the Zhen family's business studies must be prepared to get involved in the Chang'an business circle, so they will also communicate with the children of the Chang'an indigenous gentry. Among the Chang'an gentry, the three families of Wei Du and Li couldn't get around.

  Du Ji's people, although they can be regarded as high-ranking people, as the guardian of the Baling, they basically have no intention of being merchants, and only seek scriptures and poems, so it is not very easy for the Zhen family to get in touch. And although Li Yuan is now rebuilding his clan in Chang'an, increasing his property, and recruiting and expanding Li's assets, his personnel is a bit messy now, and he is not very inclined to poetry books or merchants, but Li Yuan is loyal to Huqi. Qi didn't have a definite arrangement with Zhen Shi, so he didn't meet Zhen Mi. After rejecting it several times, he felt that it was inappropriate to ignore it completely, so he sent a person to deal with it, that is, the former Manager Li, and then marked Li Guanshi is Li Guanshi, and it doesn't mean what Li Yuan means.

   In comparison, Wei Shi seems to be more enthusiastic about Zhen Shi, especially Wei Dan.

The queens of the Han Dynasty were not as imprisoned as the later generations. In the Tang Dynasty, the power was even worse. It was not until the appearance of a female devil like Wu Zetian that everything was reversed. Only then was the male emperor who survived the disaster, and began to cooperate tacitly to suppress it. , and even added tortures such as corsets and feet, coupled with brainwashing techniques, to put shackles on women layer by layer.

  So from this point of view, even though Wu Zetian had various reasons at that time, or had to do it, when did the evil result be planted, which made the subsequent daughter of Huaxia suffer for thousands of years.

  Originally, men and women are not mutually exclusive, but complementary. It is inappropriate to abandon one side and elevate the other, and it is wrong to overcorrect.

  The customs of the Han Dynasty, adhering to the legacy of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, are used to matters such as relatives, queen mothers, etc., and there are women who communicate with each other on a daily basis, so showing up in public will not attract gossip.

Wei Dan was wearing a brocade robe, and when he saw Zhen Mi appearing in the courtyard gate, he hurried forward a few steps, cupped his hands and said, "Your fifth lady is here to welcome you, please be polite..." There were four older sisters on Zhen Mi, Naturally, it was ranked fifth, but it was a common name for the fifth lady in the Han Dynasty, but in the eyes of some hopeless people in later generations, it changed its taste.

The depths of Zhen Mi's eyes seemed to move, but she also saluted slightly: "Fang Ziyan visited your mansion again, but he did not expect his elder brother to come first, so he was really rude..." Although Zhen Mi was a woman, there was no stagnation or stagnation in her speech. Sticking to the form of a little girl, she was quite generous, raised her hand, and invited Wei Dan to sit in the hospital, and then said with a smile, "Brother Wen Shi has to enter the court and get close to the center. He must be favored by the hussars, which is really enviable." . 』

   Wei Dan raised his head and laughed, somewhat smug. Wei Dan wrote good handwriting, so he was awarded the post of secretary. Although the position of secretary is minor, he often needs to copy government orders, rewrite texts, etc. It can be said that it is easier to get in touch with some core content, plus It also belongs to the ones that often appear in front of the nobles, so it is also considered a starting point of being noble.

  『The case is bothering you, how can it be as pleasant and comfortable as Fifth Lady? Wei Dan said with a smile, "Recently the hussars are busy with the general ceremony, I'm afraid they have no time to take care of it..."

Although the Zhen family can be called a big family in Jizhou, and they can influence the situation in Jizhou by raising their hands, they are not a noble family between Jingzhao and Jingzhao. If they want to establish roots in Chang'an, even if they have a lot of wealth to pave the way, it may not be easy. What's more, if there is no cover, the money that is suddenly revealed will attract others' coveting.

Zhen Mi wanted to open up the situation in Chang'an, but she didn't expect that when she came, the hussars had already been dispatched to attack Yuzhou, and then Mrs. Huang, she was naturally lukewarm towards Zhen's family, and she didn't hear anything after meeting her once. Not asking, made Zhen Mi a little embarrassed, and even some business contacts with the Guanzhong nobles seemed a little indifferent due to Huang Yueying's attitude.

Many of Zhen's properties belong to Jizhou, and they don't have much layout in Chang'an. This time, when they came to Jingzhao, they tried to start a new business next to General Hussar's couch. In fact, it was because the original investment in Yuan Shao was tantamount to a complete failure. , the family business suddenly entered a dead end, and Cao Cao was aggressive, and the Jizhou gentry took advantage of the fire to loot, it can be said that the situation was in dire straits, and they had to seek foreign aid.

But it is just a family of merchants, and it is still a female body. Even the Han Dynasty did not pay too much attention to the so-called female household, but it was still a bit inconvenient after all. The neglect and contempt it received is naturally conceivable. There are many, and at the same time, there are not many people who try to get some benefits and get some cheap ones.

  It's like Li Guanshi, who was sent by Li Yuan to help before, and he is also outspoken. He almost said that since Zhen Mi is asking for hussars, why put on airs, just go up and lie down...

  The reason why Zhen Mi was angry was because she didn't want to become a plaything of flesh and blood in her personal will, but she was also a little afraid. After all, those who achieve great things are often not obsessed with female sex. Many times, even if they dote on a certain woman, it is just a momentary pleasure, and what follows is often to abandon her like a shoe. No more, on the other hand, he is like duckweed, rootless and rootless. When it really comes to that, it is the greatest tragedy in the world!

At the same time, the reason why Zhen Mi didn't take the initiative to meet Hu Qi was because she kept an unknown, like the lid of the dice has not been lifted, so the size has not yet been fixed, and it is naturally a deterrent to those around who covet her appearance. If the lid is really opened, it's okay to open a large one, but if you open a small one, the surrounding wolves will rush to bite you in no time!

  It's like Wei Dan.

   Zhen Mi naturally knew what Wei Dan was thinking, even if she didn't have to look, she could still feel that Wei Dan's gaze was like a thief's, lingering on her face, waist, chest and buttocks.

  Even though Wei Dan tried to hide it as much as possible, Zhen Mi has seen a lot of the greedy desire in her eyes since she started to stretch her figure when she was young, so why is she still unclear?

  Women mature earlier than men. In addition, when young men see beautiful women, their blood tends to go downhill. The blood supply to the brain is insufficient. Not to mention some obstacles between actions, the wisdom index often drops a lot. In fact, Wei Duan had already told Wei Dan not to get too close to Zhen Mi, it would not be too late when the dust settled, but Wei Dan was young and young, so it would be fine if he didn't see Zhen Mi at all. Hua Jiao, with a trembling and graceful figure, coupled with a pair of pure and clear eyes and face, felt that the so-called beautiful maidservant in the family was nothing but dust, and Zhen Mi was the exiled fairy!

All in all, women's **** is like a poison to young people. Although he knows it's wrong, he can't stop it. Wei Dan can't control himself. Arrived at Zhen Mi's mansion.

Zhen Mi wanted to borrow the power of the hussars, but she also knew what it meant, not to mention that the hussars were in high positions, so they might not care about the life and death of a merchant family that was at the end of their lives. Said, I'm afraid it's not the hussars, and I'm afraid of guilt...

  Otherwise, for so many years, the hussars were young and strong, but they didn't have many romantic affairs.

   This is a real headache.

Zhen Mi wanted to get more information about the hussars, but it was obviously impossible to be alone in the courtyard, so even if she thought Wei Dan was annoying like a caterpillar, she still needed to greet her with a fake smile and pry from the side. Some information about Fei Qian's whereabouts and actions, as a basis for judging his next move.

   Hussar's wife, Mrs. Huang, is undoubtedly highly valued by the Hussar General, and the reason for this importance, Zhen Mi thinks, is that Huang's is good at armor and equipment, which no one can replace.

   There are also rumors that Huqi and Cai Yancai are having an affair. Zhen Mi feels that if Huqi really intends to marry Cai, it may not be because of the so-called color, but more important than Cai's talent...

   And what can I have that can make the hussar value?

The key is that most of Zhen Mi's business affairs are close to Jizhou, which was a good thing before. After all, Jizhou is a county with the largest population in the world, but now it has become a kind of imprisonment, and it is difficult for Zhen Mi to say that if she wants to change her family, she can Easily transformable.

  Therefore, for the hussars, the addition of the Zhen family may just be an extra source of income, but for the Zhen family, the name of the hussars is an important help to overcome difficulties.

  The difference in severity is naturally obvious.

  Recommending yourself on the pillow mat is undoubtedly the most contemptuous practice.

Among the Zhen family, and even among the other Jizhou gentry, there are quite a few women who think that they can use some tenderness to win the hearts of their husbands. He was resold in a brothel by a philandering man, and died of all kinds of bullying.

"By the way, I heard that there is something special about Huqi's conferment. I don't know if Wu Niangzi heard about it or not..." Wei Dan didn't know how many thoughts passed through the mind of the stunning woman who was smiling across the way. He only felt that Zhen Mi's eyes were as pure as black jade. If you cast it, you want to show off everything on your body and win the laughter of the beauties, so naturally you will tell the news you have heard in the past two days and show off.

  『Brother Shi was joking, Mi came from a local place and lived in a deep courtyard. How can he know the important events in Guanzhong? If it wasn't for the fact that the elder brother missed the old friendship between the two families and often walked around, there would be almost no news from Mi...』

  Zhen Mi slightly bowed her head to Wei Dan to salute, the supple neck that was inadvertently revealed showed a warm jade color in the light, which almost made Wei Dan suffocate.

"Cough cough..." Wei Dan coughed to cover up his gaffe, and then said, "I am dissatisfied with Wu Niangzi, my father is now in the middle of the official career, and the family has been neglected for a long time, and now it will get better, otherwise the matter of Wu Niangzi will be like this." trouble? But there is no need to be anxious, Hushi wants to try again now, and it is scheduled to be held after the general obeisance ceremony, to promote talents from the countryside! Although a certain person is not talented, he can still show his mind. If he can show it at that time, he will definitely help Wu Niangzi stand in Jingzhao! 』

  『The hussars want to show mercy? 』Zhen Mi did not approve of Wei Dan's heroic words, nor did she refuse, but asked.

  『Exactly! ’Wei Dan didn’t doubt that he was there, and was still immersed in the imagination of spreading his wings, ‘There are orders for hussars, and there are great sages in the countryside. People in the world, under the pretense of fame, commit disasters and chaos, so they take the test of the emperor's favor. Anyone with talent and learning can take part in the test. Those who can go to Guanzhong, those who want to vote in Shandong, are also recommended before His Majesty's Dan rank! 』

   Zhen Mi was taken aback for a moment, and then gave the maid beside her a wink. The servant girl beside her, who looked like a docile bunny, immediately understood, stepped forward and confessed: "Report to Fifth Lady, the nuns in the courtyard have something else to report..."

  『The honored guest is in front of you, how can you be so ignorant! Zhen Mi pretended to reprimand, and then apologized to Wei Dan, "I'm being rude today, and I still look forward to Brother Haihan... It just so happens that the family has a new roseberry wine, which is just to repay the friendship of Brother..."

  Wei Dan hastily declined, and then saw Zhen Mi angry, so he accepted it, turned his head three times, and left reluctantly.

Seeing Wei Dan walking away, Zhen Mi stopped laughing, frowned and exposed half of her fingers from inside her sleeves, as if she didn't feel comfortable showing any more, and pointed to the mat that Wei Dan sat on, "Quickly take it to the backyard." , burn it! 』

  As the personal servant girl stepped forward, she rolled up the mat with her fingers and said angrily, "This man is so rude!" How can the call of "Five Ladies" be called lightly? Greedy people, but they think they are romantic, it's really disgusting...』
