The 269th chapter sorrow (1)
The man talking behind Mrs. Chen's hall was Li Yu. Not long ago, the coup occurred in the Southern Tang Kingdom, and he fled to the Zhou Dynasty to seek protection from the emperor.
Li Yu and his wife were entertained in the hall at the beginning. When Guo Shao came, he had just retreated and didn't walk far away, so his voice was heard. Not long after, after Mrs. Chen met Guo Shao, Li Yu was invited to the hall again; his wife went to take a shower and change clothes.
Mrs. Chen wore a hat on her face and came out to salute her, saying, "I have just had a distinguished guest. I have neglected the Sixth Prince. Please forgive me."
"I dare not, don't dare." Li Yu sighed with sadness, "I dare not call him a prince again, especially in Tokyo. How can I be born if I hear him?" He was elegant and had a very Confucian manner, but his face looked average at first glance... Li Yu had a double pupil, one eyeball, two pupils, and a slightly larger cheek. It is said that his face was like a return to his ancestors, and he was a rare person.
Seeing Li Yu's melancholy, Mrs. Chen understood him. Because the coup had just occurred in the Southern Tang Kingdom, Li Yu had gone from a prince to a loser. (Otherwise, as Mrs. Chen, could not meet the noble prince in such a manner as Mrs. Chen; but now Li Yu is in a downturn, Mrs. Chen only needs to meet as a relative of Zhou Xian's cousin.)
... During the Battle of Huainan, Li Hongji, the prince of the Southern Tang Dynasty and Li Yu's brother, recommended Chai Kehong as a general, and divided his troops to defeat the Wu Yue army with Chai Kehong, so he was appointed as the crown prince. After Li Hongji took the position of Crown Prince, his power was expanded and his power became increasingly powerful. Unexpectedly, Chai Kehong's defeat in Haozhou directly led to the turmoil of the Southern Tang army in the entire Huainan region, greatly accelerating the defeat in Huainan; Li Jingsui (uncle Li Hongji) led his ministers to use this matter to jointly attack Li Hongji.
Li Hongji did not do anything and simply poisoned his uncle to death. The government and the country were afraid for a while. Even the king of the country Li Jing was afraid and was forced to abdicate and appointed Prince Li Hongji as the king of the Southern Tang Dynasty. He retreated behind the scenes and sought peace.
This is the recent change in the Southern Tang Dynasty. Some people talk about it occasionally in Tokyo, but the Zhou Dynasty also experienced severe turmoil, so the whole Tokyo did not pay much attention to the south and could not take care of itself.
Mrs. Chen was originally from Yangzhou, the Southern Tang Dynasty, but she was very clear about this matter.
I heard that the sixth prince was famous for a long time. Mrs. Chen originally admired Li Yu very much, but now she has seen him, but she feels indescribable... Yes, it is a contempt! Although she can't show it, she does begin to look down on this noble prince in her heart.
Compared with Li Hongji's political methods, Li Yu was simply too weak. After Li Hongji succeeded, he hinted that his younger brother secretly offered Zhou Xian to bed. In addition to being greedy for beauty, he also wanted to test his younger brother Li Yu's attitude. Li Yu was so scared that he directly asked Zhou Dynasty for help, while writing a letter to seek protection, while running away with Zhou Xian.
There is not even a little resistance!
Mrs. Chen also knew about the recent series of mutinies in Tokyo. She just met Guo Shao. Compared with Li Yu, she felt that it was impossible to compare... It can be seen that Li Yu was a kind and good person, but his wife could not even protect him, so she could only ask people everywhere to pity him. Fortunately, he was born in the Southern Tang Kingdom. If he was in the Great Zhou Dynasty, where the arrogant soldiers and generals were rampant, he would probably die faster and would be unable to resist.
Mrs. Chen thought to herself: If Guo Shao was a person like Li Yu, the second wife of the Fu family who married him would have been insulted by countless people. But Guo Shao still has nothing to do and his power is getting stronger and stronger. It can be seen that his ability and wisdom have been trained in the sea of swords, fire and powerful generals.
...Li Yu spoke, and then Mrs. Chen came back from her somewhat distracted state just now.
Li Yu said casually: "I heard from Ehuang (Zhou Xian) that she had a cousin who was not in the eunuch's house, but had a lot of friends. Today, she suddenly felt that her reputation was well-deserved. The followers around the guest were really strange."
"The Sixth Master is saying..." Mrs. Chen suddenly said, "It is said that his name is Dong Er. Although he is a villain, he is a dead soldier, and he can be regarded as a hero."
"It's just too smelly." Li Yu shook his head and said, "When I just avoided it, I could smell the scent inside. Mrs. Chen could bear it."
Mrs. Chen's eyes showed a smile: "Smell is just a small matter. I think General Guo treats his subordinates without any care. He is well-behaved and sincere. No wonder he can accomplish great things. Even if that man is from a low-class man and dirty and smelly, he is wearing a cloak taken off by the most powerful general of the Great Zhou Dynasty. I don't know if the sixth prince has discovered that General Guo is wearing military uniforms but does not have a cloak. Obviously he does not dislike the people who serve him."
"Oh?" Li Yu said in a daze, "The most powerful general in the Great Zhou Dynasty now?"
At this moment, I suddenly heard a gentle and gentle voice in the curtain of the small door and said, "Is the cousin talking about the name Guo Shao?"
When Chen Jiali turned her head, she saw a tall and graceful figure. It was her cousin Zhou Xian who was talking. Chen Jiali said: "It's him. I think General Guo should be very famous in the Southern Tang Kingdom. No wonder my cousin got it right after guessing it."
"It's not just famous!" Li Yu also glared at his eyes, "A famous general like Liu Renzhan and Chai Kehong were once known as the god of war in our country. No one believed that they could be defeated by the Zhou army, but they were defeated by Guo Shao one after another! Alas... If there are such people in the Zhou Dynasty, how can they be strong?"
Chen Jiali said softly: "This kind of person is not uncommon in the Zhou Dynasty, but it is not so easy to control. Does the Sixth Prince know Zhao Kuangyin's name?"
"It's like thunder." Li Yu said, "but this person's intentions are not right and intends to rebel."
After hearing this, Chen Jiali felt that she was not speculative and didn't want to talk about military and political affairs anymore.
Zhou Xian said in a gentle voice: "Husband, come in."
Li Yu clasped his fists at Chen Jiali and said, "I'm really sorry, I'll delay it."
Soon, Chen Jiali heard her cousin's voice inside and said in a coquettish tone: "Although I have a servant to help me, I still like my husband's weight, it is appropriate to be tight, and it feels uncomfortable to increase one point or one point."
After a while, Li Yu's voice said, "Is this okay? I've been upset and a little uneasy."
Zhou Xian's voice sounds very nice, more charm than any melody of silk and bamboo orchestrals. Just listening to her words is a kind of enjoyment. Chen Jiali, a woman, felt a little soft, "Husband, don't you panic, no matter what happens, aren't I still accompanying you?"
Li Yu sighed: "The luckiest thing in my life is to meet Ehuang. I wish to win the heart of one person and never be separated from me forever."
"Husband..." Zhou Xian's voice was about to turn into water.
Chen Jiali was about to get goose bumps when she heard this. The two of them were too distorted. They came to my house from the Zhou Dynasty Pavilion to visit, but left the owner aside, just like a bondage. She couldn't help but think of her deceased husband, and felt a sense of desolation... Humph! The husband was obedient to me back then, and was not worse than the two of you!
Chen Jiali angrily picked up the newly brewed tea and poured it into a cup, and poured it down, "Ah!" Chen Jiali screamed in pain, and tears immediately soaked her eyes.
"Cousin!" Zhou Xian heard the scream and hurriedly lifted the curtain and walked out, looking at her with concern.
When Chen Jiali saw her, she had to admit defeat. Everyone here was her own foil! Chen Jiali was also a very rare beauty, so rare that she dared not see people, and she usually covered up her pretentiously; but in front of Zhou Xian, she was really not pretentious.
No matter how beautiful a woman is, she is afraid of comparison. Chen Jiali has only been born and has seen many women, including the most beautiful ladies from noble families in various places. However, Zhou Xian is the most beautiful woman she has ever seen in this world. She far surpasses the beauties in the world, and even Chen Jiali is overshadowed in front of her.
I'm afraid even the flowers will be ashamed of their appearance. The bright and flawless gaze, the bright and flawless color, the beautiful and well-proportioned face... not only the beautiful outlines of the face, chest, waist, hips, and legs cannot be concealed, but they are natural and just right... The gentle temperament, elegant and soft manners that are so elegant and soft, the whole person's taste is simply the woman among women. Why is God so unfair? The beauty of millions of people gives her one person without hesitation.
The beautiful Chen Jiali who hides and dares not show up in front of the world, a woman who is rich enough to win the country and wants to re-enter the strings at any cost... She suddenly felt that she was just a vulgar and ordinary person, not that special. Chen Jiali, who is proud of her beauty, felt lost at this moment.
"I was accidentally burned." Chen Jiali hurriedly turned around and took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears, leaving behind purple tea cups and water stains poured on the table.
Zhou Xian whispered: "Don't say anything, husband, I'm afraid my cousin will be sad."
When Chen Jiali heard this, she thought to herself: I just said a few words to Li Yu here. You were just angry with me on purpose! You said this hypocritically... I thought I didn't know that you were jealous and timid.
Chen Jiali swallowed her tears into her stomach, tried to make herself smile, and turned around and said, "I just got burned, why did I say sad? I saw that my cousin and younger brother were going to be good, and I envy you, and it was too late to be happy for you."
Her envy is not fake. When she saw it, Chen Jiali was a joke about Li Yu's military and political ability, and it was probably not serious to let him preside over the military and country. However, Li Yu was pretty good, talented, elegant, and had a noble and generous background. She was dedicated, sincere and careful with her wife. As the woman he loved, her cousin was also a blessing in life, which was very enviable. Even Chen Jiali had to admit that in a woman's heart, love was more important than the military and country.
"My cousin should find another person, everyone can understand your hard work." Zhou Xian said softly.
Chen Jiali remained silent, but Zhou Xian's little moves could not be hidden from others, but she could not be hidden from her. Chen Jiali only looked at her shoulders and knew that Zhou Xian, who had just sat down, quietly grabbed Li Yu's hand under the table, as if she was afraid that others would steal her.
"If I don't look for someone, I don't have to worry about other people." Chen Jiali said angrily.
Zhou Xian said quietly: "My cousin is still so stingy."
"I don't know who is stingy!" Chen Jiali said.
When Li Yu saw the two of them quarrel, he smiled and said, "Forget it, Ehuang said less. We are not familiar with the place when we come to Tokyo. The officials of the Zhou Dynasty Liquor Center also ignored us. Only my cousin treated us as our own people."
Chen Jiali said: "I am a poor family here. I can receive the sixth son and cousin. It is too late to be honored."
Zhou Xian said at this time: "After all, I'm still a stubborn person in the boudoir. Just don't treat us as an outsider." He turned to look at Li Yu and said, "You are more close to me than your own."
Li Yu hurriedly poured a cup of tea, blew it in person, tasted the hot and cold, and then handed it to Zhou Xian, and said gently: "It's not hot or cold, it's just right to drink it. I know that after taking a shower and soaking it in water, I'm prone to thirst."
