Legend has it that Wang Kai, the uncle of Emperor Wu of Jin Dynasty, who had been competing with Shi Zhong for wealth, fell seriously ill when he returned home after entering Zize Garden for the first time. From then on, he never competed with Shi Chong for wealth again.
Everyone in Shangluo wants to go to Zize Garden to see what's going on. Everyone in Shangluo is proud to go to Zize Garden to have a feast.
It is the royal Fanglin Garden. Although everyone in Shangluo doesn't say it, they all think in their hearts that Fanglin Garden is far inferior to the luxury and grandeur of Zize Garden.
Cui Zhu is the daughter of the Boling Cui family, and Cui Zhu is the mistress of Zize Garden!
It has been many years since Shen Xiu came to Shangluo, but he and she have never met once. Since the two of them started working together, they have never met again.
Even if it’s close at hand!
Even though Shen Xiu misses her deeply!
Shi Zhong knew that Shen Xiu and his wife had been together before, and Shi Zhong looked down on Shen Xiu from the bottom of his heart. How could a poor man want to eat swan meat?
How ridiculous!
Only I, Shi Zhong, can be worthy of a peerless beauty like Cui Zhu and a background like Cui Zhu's.
What kind of a piece of shit are you, Shen Xiu!
A despicable villain who rose through the ranks by relying on opportunism, conspiracy, and holding on to the thighs of King Zhao, Huangfulun, and even Empress Jia!
Shi Zhong never mentioned the name Shen Xiu, not only in front of his wife, but also in front of anyone. It was as if these two words would be dirty to him if they were spoken from his mouth.
He has an average mouth. If he talks about Shen Xiu, he will only talk about the Langya clerk.
Cui Zhu would never say the word Shen Xiu in front of Shi Zhong. Even if something was related to Shen Xiu, Cui Zhu would never talk about it in front of Shi Zhong.
It was as if that person had never existed in her life. He had not appeared in the past, did not appear now, and would not appear in the future.
She and he are already people in two different worlds.
She is already the mother of three children, and he is also the father of two. Even in a few months, she will become a grandmother for the first time. But in the eyes of outsiders, Mrs. Shi is still so
She is graceful and graceful, and her beauty is still astonishing. The traces of time have not only not faded the beauty of this great beauty who was famous in the five states, but also added to her mature and luxurious style. She is still the most talked about by countless male monks in Shangluo
One of the dream lovers, I don’t know how many people, do not envy Shi Chongfu’s unparalleled wealth, but only envy Shi Chongfu’s beautiful house with gold and the ability to bring home a beauty like Cui Zhu who comes from a luxurious family and is the most beautiful woman in the world.
.
Shen Xiu held a piece of pure white silk in her right hand and carefully wiped the sword body, which was like a stream of autumn water. The sharp blade was as cold as autumn frost. On the spine of the sword, those mysterious and complex talismans were engraved and embellished like patterns.
With it on it, it looks even more simple and noble.
This is a sword worth thousands of gold!
This is a gift with deep affection!
This sword has never drunk blood.
Shen Xiu has always believed that a man should fight with his wits rather than strength, and he has always despised those who rely on brute force and force to solve problems.
Vulgar, vulgar!
Therefore, most of the time, this sword is just an accessory and a status symbol for Shen Xiu.
He wiped it for a long time, and the flawless white silk still looked flawless. Just watch him raise his left hand to make the sword stand upright. The sword was three feet and four inches long, and it was the longest sword used by monks in the Jin Dynasty.
Standard length. He raised his head slightly and looked at the tip of the sword. The gentleness in his eyes gradually faded away. Slowly, the gaze in his eyes began to become sharp.
"Dang!" There was a clear cry, and the sound of the clear cry lingered in the small pavilion.
"Zhu'er." Although Shen Xiu's eyes were sharp, her voice was still gentle at this time, "Do you know that I have missed you day and night over the years. Do you know that I gnashed my teeth with hatred every time I passed by Shifu. You
Do you know why I like the night? Because only at night, I can stand unscrupulously on a high place and look at the Shifu, and I can work hard to find your familiar back. How much I want to rush into the Shifu at all costs, I am
How I want to get you back to me."
"It's almost, it's almost." Shen Xiu paused for a while and continued to murmur, "You know, I hate the rich families, I hate the distinction between high and poor families in this world, and I hate why people who come from high families and those who come from poor families
We can't come together. I hate this damn world that separates you and me. You gave me this sword. This sword was born to drink blood. Things in this world must ultimately be solved by force. In the end,
You have to rely on the sword in your hand to solve this world. Look at how I, Shen Xiu, can cut this world to pieces with the sword in my hand."
"Master Dean." Just as Shen Xiu was murmuring in a low voice, two voices sounded outside the door, "Zhao Yu (Zhang Bu) has been summoned to come and pay his respects!"
"Ouch!" With a sound, Shen Xiu put the sword in his hand back into the sheath and hung it on the wall again. He stroked his temples with his hands and moved them backwards. In the blink of an eye, he calmed down and his face immediately changed into a
With an easy-going smile, he said with a smile: "Please come in quickly!"
Zhang Bu has been very irritable these days. Several students in the college were beaten up by their senior Zhang for various reasons. The reason for Zhang Bu's irritability was simple. Wang Tianyun left and only left him a letter.
On the night when Wang Tianyun left, he ran to the door of Situ's house in Ziyi Lane and called him, but the answer was a slap from Uncle Wu, a big man in blue robes who was as strong as a bear.
He didn't fight back.
Because the other party also said something: "Dignified Ziyi Lane, Dignified Situ Mansion, you can shout here? Do you know how much rouge and gouache can be exchanged for the eldest lady in a month? Do you know what she wears on weekdays?
How much is your jewelry worth? Go to Shangluoxi City and have a look. When you think you can afford it, come back and call me."
So Zhang Bu went to the Western Market.
The West Market in Shangluo is the most prosperous place in Shangluo. Different from the Nan City, the Nan City is where small merchants and hawkers set up stalls every market day. The West Market is where the big businessmen and wealthy people gather to buy and sell things.
.
Zhang Bu vaguely remembered that Wang Tianyun once said that he bought his rouge from a store called Piaoxiang Pavilion and his jewelry from a store called Jinyulou.
The signboard of Piaoxiang Pavilion is very big in Xishi and is easy to find.
Zhang Bu didn't sleep all night. As soon as the door opened in the morning, he walked in. In the fragrant environment of Piaoxiang Pavilion, he was dressed in coarse cloth and had a sour smell that naturally dried on his body.
It was so eye-catching. When he saw the disgusting look in the waiter's eyes at Piaoxiang Pavilion, he, who was always arrogant, almost got angry and beat him up.
I am a monk, and you are just commoners. How dare you look at me like this?
But he didn't get violent and hit anyone in the end, because before he raised his arm, a customer happened to ask about the price of the rouge Wang Tianyun usually used.
When he heard that price, he was completely shocked.
The price of that box of rouge fully covered his expenses for two years!
"Zhang Bu," Wang Tianyun vaguely turned around in her long skirt, "Do you think this dress looks good?"
Wang Tianyun looked at him vaguely and asked him softly: "Hey, Zhang Bu, which kind of rouge should I buy? Is it better to be heavier or lighter?"
"It turns out that we have always been people from two worlds." This thought finally flashed through Zhang Bu's mind.
He could no longer remember how he walked out of Piaoxiang Pavilion, nor could he remember how he returned to Hongdu College. He just remembered that he drank a lot of wine, a lot, and then had a fight with the wine seller.
He forgot the reason, but of course the wine seller didn't.
After he staggered away drunkenly, the bartender spit bloodshot spit at his back and cursed viciously: "Damn the monks of Hongdu College, you don't even pay for your drink."
Money?”
Shen Xiu looked at Zhao Yu and Zhang Bu in confusion as they pushed the door open.
Zhao Yu is still as calm as before, but Zhang Bu turned out to be a drunkard!
Hongdu Zhangbu, who had always been strict with himself, actually got extremely drunk!
"Zhao Yu, what's going on?"
Zhao Yu first glanced at Zhang Bu, who still smelled of alcohol, and without hesitation, told Shen Xiu the reason.
"Pa!" There was a crisp sound, and Shen Xiu slapped Zhang Bu on the face. The slap was so hard that the left side of Zhang Bu's face, which had been swollen by Uncle Wu, became swollen again.
This time, Zhang Bu's originally groggy head immediately woke up.
"Look what you look like now!" After hearing Zhao Yu's explanation, Shen Xiu looked like she was heartbroken and resentful that iron could not become steel. She pointed her right halberd at Zhang Bu's face and shouted sternly, "Isn't it just a woman? How can women in the world be so different?
Taye, do you have to hang yourself from a tree?"
"Think about your parents, think about your original intention, are you practicing for women? A real man should carry a three-foot long sword and make achievements and become a general, instead of being entangled in such trivial matters between men and women every day. Zhang Bu,
Have you forgotten the ambition you once had?"
"Report to the dean, Zhang Bu has not forgotten!"
"Have you forgotten your parents' heroic deeds?"
"Report to the dean, Zhang Bu will not forget it for a moment!"
"Do you want to be content with being ordinary for the rest of your life?"
Zhang Bu heard this, and as soon as he hesitated, Shen Xiu immediately shouted in a more stern voice: "Speak louder!"
"I don't want to!"
"Okay, tell me your ambition."
"I want to become a top monk."
"Is this your ambition?" There was a sneer on Shen Xiu's lips.
"I, I," Zhang Bu muttered.
"A man should be aboveboard and say whatever he thinks in his heart."
Hearing this, Zhang Bu puffed up his chest, his heart skipped a beat, and said loudly: "I want to report to the dean, I want to become a general and a marquis, I want to wear a purple belt, and I dream of becoming a first-class black-robed grand master one day!
"
"Okay! This is Hanoi Zhangbu, and these are our three heroes of Hongdu!" Shen Xiu shouted loudly, "Today we have a great opportunity to become a general and a marquis, Zhangbu, you can be willing to use your life
Are you going to use everything you have to gain this opportunity to be a general and a lord?"
When Zhang Bu heard Shen Xiu's words, his face suddenly became excited, and even his breathing became much faster. He took a deep breath, and then loudly replied: "The dean treats Zhang Bu like a reborn parent.
Zhang Bu is alone and has nothing but this life and his cultivation. As long as the dean does not give up, Zhang Bu is willing to fight for the dean without any regrets!"
"Okay, okay!" Shen Xiu patted Zhang Bu's shoulder with satisfaction, "You are my most valued student in Hongdu College, and your performance has always been my pride. Master and apprentice, you and I will work together to achieve tomorrow.
That big event, when the master and apprentice were granted the title of marquis together, it was also a good story. Encourage it! Zhang Bu!"
"Yes! Zhang Bu swears to follow the dean to the death, and he will only obey the orders of the dean."
"Okay, you are indeed my good student." Shen Xiu's eyes were full of approval at this time, "Tonight you find a group of people who are also willing to work hard, keep your spirits up, and arrive on time at 9:00 tomorrow morning
Stand by in front of Prince Zhao's Mansion in Ziyi Lane."
"Student, take your orders!" Zhang Bu saluted with clasped fists and then walked out of the room with excitement on his face.
"Ahem." Seeing Zhang Bu going out, Shen Xiu coughed twice, then changed his tone and said to Zhao Yu, who had been standing quietly aside with a calm face, "Zhao Yu, sit down."
"The students are all ears to listen to your instructions, Mr. Dean." Zhao Yu still stood there and said calmly.
"Zhao Yu," Shen Xiu looked at Zhao Yu and said sincerely: "You are different from Zhang Bu. Zhang Bu is a fierce general who charges into battle. Unlike you, you will definitely be a great talent who can strategize and win thousands of miles in the future. I have always
Since then, I have valued you even more, and you should know it very well."
"Zhao Yu is very grateful to the dean for your attention and preference for Zhao Yu." Zhao Yu said lightly, "I just hope that the dean can tell you what you want tomorrow?"
"With your intelligence, couldn't you guess it?" Shen Xiu did not answer directly.
"Huang Fuyu, a common man, committed suicide out of fear of crime, haha." Zhao Yu sneered a few times, "This matter is like lice on a bald man's head. I'm afraid everyone in Shangluo knows what is going on. If Zhao Yu expected
That's right, the dean is planning to attack the queen and force Jia Hou to abdicate under the pretext of finding justice for the commoner Huang Fu Yu."
When Shen Xiu heard Zhao Yu's words, the admiration in his eyes became more intense. He nodded: "So Zhao Yu, what do you think is the probability of success in this matter?"
"The dean is a close confidant of His Highness King Zhao, who is in charge of the most important central army in Shangluo. Huang Fuyu, a common man, was innocently killed, and everyone in Shangluo sympathizes. Your Excellency, together with His Highness King Zhao, are holding high the banner of revenge for the prince.
There is no gain without success. I just want to ask the dean, what will happen after you capture the palace?"
"Depose Empress Jia and King Yuzhang as common people." Shen Xiu said without hesitation.
"Then what? Your Excellency decides who will be crown prince, crown prince, crown prince, or crown prince?"
Shen Xiu didn't answer. He narrowed his eyes slightly, and the two parties' eyes met. Shen Xiu said in a deep voice: "If we get along in a different place, Zhao Yu, what will you do?"
"The student dared to make a mistake." Zhao Yu pondered for a moment and then said, "The student has three strategies to tell you, sir."
Zhao Yu cleared his throat twice due to thirst, organized his words in his mind, and then said calmly: "The best solution is to depose Empress Jia and King Yuzhang as common people, and directly let the emperor's throne be given to Crown Prince Huangfu Yu's eldest son Huangfu Zang
.The King of Zhao should not assist the government according to the story of Emperor Jing and Wen, but should return the government to the three princes and return the government to the court."
