[Red Chamber] Jagged Lin Daiyu

Chapter 185 Wind and Cloud + Suspicion

The Fourth Sister Wen, who is far away at the border, has not yet set off to go home. While recuperating from her injuries, she is also the actress.

She was sitting on a golden chair covered with tiger skin, a big horse with a golden knife, wearing a dark blue straight gown, her face was slightly painted, her eyebrows were thicker, her peach eyes were more serious, and she had fine hair. There are fine wrinkles around the eyes, and some things are painted on the face, and the nasolabial folds are painted on. She looks a little older than her actual age, like a 40-year-old middle-aged woman who is well maintained and dignified.

The room was filled with the smell of knife wound medicine, and a pot of medicine was boiling on the small red clay stove next to it, which gave off an unpleasant smell.

Usually the central hall is facing the door, with two chairs in front of a table, separated by the Eight Immortals table in the middle, with only the left as the honor and the right as the guest seat.

But these things are removed here, and there is only the tiger-skin gold chair facing the door, and there are two low tables on the left and right sides, dried fruits and nuts are placed on the left, and fruits and teacups are placed on the right. The knife stood by.

Zhuo Donglai sat on the left side of the lower hand, pretending that he respected Fourth Sister Wen and that he was only her subordinate.

All the furnishings in the room are designed to set off her majesty and supremacy. The room is semi-dark, and the light is cleverly illuminated. Her waist and legs are in the sun, but her face is hidden in the darkness.

Fourth Sister Wen looked at herself with a target mirror in her hand: "Draw me so old!"

"Nian Gao Dezhao."

"(ˉ▽￣～) Cut~~ Don't need to wear gold and silver, why don't you bring some jewelry?"

Zhuo Donglai said: "You don't like it all the time, and you don't need it now. Just because of you, how many gold utensils will be eclipsed."

Fourth Sister Wen knew that he was talking about her own reputation, but let's pretend you were talking about my beauty!Although I have gained a lot of weight now, but if a gentleman is not serious, he is not powerful.

"Ready? There are many people begging to see you, and you have an hour to see them." Zhuo Donglai asked, seeing her nodding, he beckoned for people to come in.

The Hall Master Baihu of the Great Sword Society was ushered in by his attendants. He was originally an important figure on the ground, but when he arrived at the border, he found that there were big men walking everywhere, and there were as many heroes and hall masters as dogs.Going out to fight outside the city, not to mention losing a few brothers, it's really not as good as this long-renowned Fourth Sister Wen who can kill people.He and his disciples beat the generals to capture the flag, and when he came back in despair, he received her favor again, the doctor's wound medicine and sesame cakes.Today I had something to ask for an appointment. When I got to the house, I saw that the inside and outside were heavily guarded, and I was a bit timid again.

"Wen Daxia, our ears are full of your name, and I finally see you today. That's great, hey." I'm so stupid.

Fourth Sister Wen only said a few polite words, praising him for his efforts for the country. Her voice was calm and magnetic (she was pressing her throat), and her tone was not rushed, but every word she uttered was heard by the other party. It is very important to keep it in my heart.

Her reputation is greater than what she has done, and her martial arts are stronger than her own. Brother Zhuo is clearly an ancient man but very proficient in marketing. With a reputation, he can do everything easily.All the people in the Jianghu world have heard of Wen Nvxia—but it doesn’t matter that Miss Wen ran away from home in a rage. .

The Hall Master Baihu bought a coffin from nearby because some of the brothers who came together were injured and died. He was afraid of being robbed or attacked by the enemy on the way back, so he came to ask Wen Daxia to send some people to escort the coffin back. , Now that I have no money on me, I will give money when I get home.

Fourth Sister Wen sighed "benevolently", nodded slightly, and agreed.

The next few people did the same thing. My brother died and I was injured. I was afraid that those who did not come to the frontier would not know that there was no treasure. They planned to intercept and kill them on the road. The rule is to pay half of the deposit first.

The pity on Miss Wen's face was no longer feigned. She took advantage of the team coach's resignation contentedly, before the next person came: "I found out that a friend of mine died too, and that was a very good friend. Well, I still owe him three taels of silver. The friends we met when we were teenagers died and died, and those who survived by luck disappeared. "

Zhuo Donglai sighed: "I don't feel sorry for others, but Zhou Xiaomao's failure is too regrettable. A young hero like him is worthy of being a generation's pride. You and I can only look up to him. Now 20 years passed in a blink of an eye. However, you are the number one, and after I retire to the forest, it can be considered a vicissitudes of life."

Fourth Sister Wen snorted, "When did you step back from others? From the very beginning, you knew that those who rush forward to fight are the most likely to die. You have always sent others to the front, and you are behind the scenes to control."

"Ze Lan, what you said is not pertinent." Zhuo Donglai smiled and said, "I was seriously injured several times and I was taken care of by you so that I was lucky enough to be safe. You can see the bones from the knife edge. You took my blood and tried to make blood tofu. Have you forgotten? When no one else is available, I have always been by your side."

Fourth Sister Wen couldn't help laughing when she thought of smashing other people's houses together, grabbing land for herself, and opening up roads to do business together when she was young.The blood tofu caught her by surprise, and she laughed randomly: "Yes, whoops. You were bleeding profusely at that time, and cotton cloth couldn't stop the wound. It's a pity to wring out the blood and attract flies. I'll do it I ordered blood tofu, and you said it was delicious after two bites."

Zhuo Donglai smiled and said: "You ate the rest of the bowl, thanks to my kindness, if it were someone else, I would vomit blood."

Fourth Sister Wen raised her eyebrows with a smile: "Hey, at that time you still had blood to vomit? All that could be bleed out."

Zhuo Donglai was silent for a while: "I've always wanted to ask, you killed a lot of people, and you killed a lot of people when you caught them, why don't you use other people's blood to make blood tofu?"

Fourth Sister Wen smiled briskly: "I'm not a goblin, and I don't like cannibalism. I just wonder if human blood can be used to make blood tofu. I think other people's blood is dirty."

"My talent entrance?"

"Although it sounds like I'm a pervert, but well, yes. I can eat it myself, but I forget to keep it every time I get hurt."

I also met some people, some who were negotiating business, some who were severely injured by force and could not keep their wealth among the coveted neighbors, wanted to attach themselves to Wen Daxia, and were willing to pay protection fees.

These people are very polite, no matter what kind of person they are, when he/she sees a famous hero in the rivers and lakes appearing in front of him, he will be very polite.They had just seen this hero enter the army, and Zhuo Donglai spoke in a very gentle and respectful tone, deliberately guiding their emotions.

Every business deal is easy to negotiate. If you rent your own people to the other party at a high price and charge a high protection fee, these people are grateful and honored—this is the role of reputation.

A celebrity is often different. If she can remain mysterious for several years, people keep hearing her miraculous deeds, but they never have a deep understanding of her, and they hear about this person again and again. Shenwei, this image will be deeply rooted in people's hearts-Song Heipang (Song Jiang) did this, and Wen Heipang did the same.

Her face turned pale, and she smiled wearily: "If it wasn't for today, I would have forgotten that it is my dream to be respected like this."

"There are still many people who will be dealt with by me. These people are enough to make you famous. Your complexion is not good, please rest for a while."

She looked in the mirror suspiciously: "Are you sure this face can make them say that I am a stunning beauty?"

Zhuo Donglai walked to the door with a smile, and stood where many people had been standing just now—the visitors who came to visit usually did not sit down, but they had no complaints, because Zhuo Donglai also stood the whole time, deliberately giving people a feeling: No one is qualified to sit down in front of Fourth Sister - look at her here: "Here I can only see your pale but blurred face in the shadows, and a pair of bright eyes."

"Oh ho ho~" she asked again: "When I chatted with Jia Min last time, she seemed to have said that many people talked about me behind my back and asked her about me. My real information is in the mortal world,,, in Didn’t the people spread the word?”

"Ha, it will take decades for the news of the circulation among officials to spread to the people, and before that, no one is interested in you. You rest at ease, go to bed early, and we will leave for Beijing tomorrow. The plan is to change Well, I originally said that I would go back to Miansheng first, but I am worried about the situation around you, and Mi Zhe should go to the capital today."

…………

The little princess held her heart like Xizi, endured the nausea for a while, and rested within the range of the 'expulsion curse' at the entrance of the restaurant.

Yao Sanlang chased after him instinctively: "What's wrong with my sister?"

"Hmph!" Daiyu kicked the side of his calf lightly, causing him to stagger: "You brought me to a good place."

Yao Sanlang flattened his mouth, a little wronged: "I didn't expect that either. It's just that the seafood here is very fresh. I thought it was a few big monsters who caught another goblin and cut it up for sale. I didn't expect this owner to be so dutiful. .”

Daiyu hurriedly covered her heart: "Stop talking, it's really painful."

"Okay, okay, I won't talk about it. Let's go. Just leave it to the two senior brothers. They should be able to handle it. If it doesn't work, you can ask the senior brother to come."

"Don't look for senior brother for everything, it seems that you and I are so incompetent."

Yao Sanlang looked at her innocently: "Even if the two of us have the power to penetrate the heavens and the earth, a talent like Guan Zhongleyi will still look like a waste in front of the elder brother." Seeing that she was a little unhappy, he tentatively asked: "I'm not good at handling things, what's your sister's opinion?"

"You are good at making troubles and making troubles." Daiyu lowered her eyes and thought for a while, "Let's go back and find out."

"Okay." Yao Sanlang handed over a pack of licorice olives. She took one and squeezed it in her mouth. Out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of several colorful lights and shadows in the sky, moving slowly: "What is that? Xu Ping said The kind of sect disciples coming here?"

Yao Sanlang looked at it for a while: "Look at this speed is indeed, if someone has the ability, the speed can be fast."

The two turned around and went back to the store. Zi Shu just walked to the door and wanted to come out: "Junior Sister, are you feeling better?"

The big octopus, Pippi shrimp, and little hippocampus returned to human form, and they knelt on the ground side by side with Xu Ping.

Zishu handed her a bouquet of Daphne flowers: "Smell it, it can overwhelm the smell of the sea in the house." If he didn't say it, Daiyu would not know that the smell in the room was the smell of the sea, she had never seen it before. Sea, I have never seen raw seafood.

Daiyu sat next to him again, covering her face with flowers. The scent was strong and pungent, better than the wet smell in the room: "Why do you come here to sell meat? Doesn't it hurt to sell your own meat?"

The chubby and chubby shopkeeper knelt pitifully on the ground, and looked at her with big moist and bright eyes without blinking: "Shangxian Mingjian, we come here to sell meat for the purpose of cultivation. Our family practice is very difficult. It is even more difficult to take shape. Later, I found out that I have to absorb the essence of a thousand people to transform into a shape. But, if you simply absorb the essence of people, you will be punished by the gods. The child is here to make trouble." He glanced at Xu Ping.

Xu Ping was furious, seeing that the two immortals above and the little girl didn't speak, he endured it, lowered his head and scratched the floor without speaking.

The octopus shopkeeper said: "My claws grow fast, and it doesn't hurt to cut one. It can be sold for a few days. Pippi shrimp has many hands, and is good at rubbing and cooking balls. The little seahorse is good at cooking. The three of us are here to do business. Cut it yourself. A claw, sliced ​​or made into meat sauce and boiled balls, sold at a low price, and then sucked the equivalent energy of the person who ate the balls, then you can evade taxes-to escape the measurement and punishment of God, I have several The elders have all succeeded in transforming themselves with this trick, and there is no thunder calamity, and there is a grandfather who gives free fish tofu made by himself to the poor, and has cultivated the Buddha's light, which probably means feeding an eagle with his body."

Xu Ping: "What?" I heard that eating the meat of big monsters is very nourishing, but you, you, you really give people vitality.

Bi Lu couldn't help applauding: "You have done your calculations clearly! Sustainable development."

Zi Shu also smiled: "Smart guy." In the eyes of God, this kind of behavior means that you have not absorbed other people's energy.

The octopus shopkeeper said frightenedly: "From what this little boy said, it seems that many practitioners are coming to the capital. We want to go back to the East China Sea first, and then come back to open the shop after the capital settles down. I implore the three gods to give you permission." .”

In fact, I have enough energy, and when I come back, it will be other brothers and sisters.Hee hee hee, only us octopuses can use this trick. Look at the snake demon and fox demon, it is not easy to practice, they have nothing to do business~

Yao Sanlang took out a talisman: "I just saw some people coming with swords, the speed is really hot, but if you run into it, you will suffer, this talisman can ensure that you return to the East China Sea safe and sound, but it cannot For nothing."

The shopkeeper threw out a tentacle and wrapped a cash box over: "A little filial piety."

Yao Sanlang snorted contemptuously, and put on a look of money like dirt: "I just want the meatballs left in the kitchen."

Three minutes later, after the handover was completed, the shopkeeper held a spell in his mouth, strolled to the side of the ditch with his three godsons in his arms, and jumped into the water.All the water in the world returns to the sea, and he only needs to return the water.

Xu Ping was also ordered to leave.

Zi Shu and Bi Lu didn't have much interest in meatballs, grilled fish is better, now people go to the empty building, they told Daiyu to be more careful, it's better to stay at home if there are too many people, and don't even look at the stupid junior brother , walk away.

Those young practitioners driving the clouds in the sky thought that they were so powerful and mighty in the clouds, but those who controlled the sword even despised the gentle girls who were driving the clouds. Suddenly, they saw two streamers of light flying from the capital and leaping in front of everyone. , like a white horse passing by, disappearing into the sky in the blink of an eye, they were all confused, and looked left and right: "What is that?"

"Should be a fairy? A real fairy?"

"My God, it's so fast, is there anyone chasing after me?"

"There are really immortals in the capital, there are actually immortals in such a filthy place!"

"Which Shangxian is this, it's really majestic."

"When we go to the capital, can we really find the legendary fairy fate?"

"Not to mention anything else, I'm going to take a look at that Xuanyu eldest princess. It must be suspicious that she was named the eldest princess for no reason."

"I'd like to see that real person who is pure and clear, who came out of nowhere, has no foundation and is not a disciple of our famous sects, and became a national teacher! Tsk! He is not afraid of the wind." Tongue out!"

"Brother Yue is a savage who has not even become a national teacher. I don't know where he came from. After learning two-handed Taoism, he went to deceive people and cheat money. He ruined our reputation in the cultivation world for nothing."

"What do you two immortals go to the capital? They don't go to eat, drink and have fun, do they? Is there some hermit in the capital? I heard that they want to practice their xinxing in the busy city."

"I don't care what they do, hehe, when I get to the capital, I must drink flower wine~"

"Look at the immortal energy in front of you, there are thousands of auspicious colors in the palace, is there a strange treasure born?"

Daiyu watched Yao Sanlang enter the kitchen empty-handed and come out again empty-handed, knowing that he had filled up the balls, she beckoned: "Come here. Xu Ping said that many people came to look for 'Xianyuan', referring to What is it?"

"Be rewarded with a elixir by the gods, change the meridians, give a kung fu, or even better be taken away by the gods as an apprentice."

Daiyu used to be a little ignorant of the sufferings of the human world, but now she knows about them after going out, but she doesn't know the sufferings of the cultivation world: "They can't become immortals through their own cultivation, so they must seek external force?"

Yao Sanlang laughed: "It is very difficult to become a fairy. The more eager for quick success, the harder it is to become a fairy. Those who really strive to become a fairy will not be able to become a fairy. Those who can become a fairy must use other things to enter the Tao, and the only way to be eternal."

"(⊙v⊙) Huh?"

Yao Sanlang sat down and gave her detailed examples: "I don't know how Master became immortal. Senior brother became immortal when Chi You was defeated. His heart was ashamed, and all he had to do was to train his body and care about Master, and he became a fairy." Immortal. The ancestor of Wang Chan (Gui Guzi) understood the relationship between people and countries in the world, and the art of yin and yang, and became an immortal. Shaolin Dharma came to the East to teach the Dharma, and gradually became discouraged. Those who receive the Dharma don't pay much attention to it, they only have the Dharma in their hearts, and they become immortals immediately. Master Zhang Sanfeng of Wudang Mountain also entered Taoism through martial arts, and what he loves deeply is martial arts.

Daiyu felt that Yao Sanlang, who talked about these things with a serious face and clear eyes, was more handsome than usual. ?”

Yao Sanlang covered his face in embarrassment: "I, I don't know, I have already become a fairy when I can remember. There are two versions. The fifth senior brother set up a spirit gathering array, and bet with the elder brother that this gathering spirit array It can directly elevate people with good foundations to the height of being able to become immortals. After reading Lei Jie, they can become immortals. The two of them did experiments and threw me into it.

Another theory is that when I was a child, I liked to cause trouble as much as I do now. One day, I was bitten by a green lion, and I was injured half to death. The master gave me a elixir, and then I became a fairy.Big Brother never told me. "

Daiyu was a little speechless, and now she doesn't look handsome anymore! "Ordinary people don't hesitate to try their own methods for the sake of profit, will the practitioners do the same?"

"Yes, for some people, as long as they are valuable, burning, killing and looting can be done. When such people are civilians, they are called gangsters, bullies and thieves. When they become officials, they are called corrupt officials. When they are replaced by blind people into the cultivation sect, They will do the same thing. There will be no change in human nature.”

"Let's go back to the palace, they just left without seeing anything. Hey, just now that person said you are a demon, heh, will someone assassinate you at night?" Daiyu felt a little bored, and felt that these people were very pitiful .

"Assassination, probably not, but some temptations are inevitable."

Daiyu played with the string of jasmine flowers: "I just asked you, what is your precious light, why didn't you tell me? Quickly release it for me to see. I won't say anything when there is no one in private."

Yao Sanlang's face went through red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple, and he slapped his thigh: "Oh, it's not good! Go, go!"

"what happened?"

"Erlang just came to me and said that he didn't sleep well recently and asked me to give him a lecture. He should be sleeping soundly in a Taoist temple now. Don't dare to go in and see the emperor in the middle of the day. Tsk tsk tsk, how could I?" Didn't he become Dong Xian and Deng Tong?"

"Bah, it's unlucky!" Daiyu pulled him to speed up Yufeng's speed, and rushed back to the palace as soon as possible.

In the Taoist temple, the emperor was sleeping peacefully with the quilt in his arms. The queen came slowly by her shoulders when she got the news.

The queen, who has always liked to read Taoist scriptures, sighed, picked up a scripture and tried to explain it.

The emperor hadn't heard three sentences before he burst into tears.

The empress was so frightened, why did Immortal Yao speak so well that the emperor could fall asleep after listening to it, but the emperor cried out when I didn't speak well?Although I don't understand the Dao deeply enough, it won't scare people to tears, right?

The emperor cried and said: "Uncle, don't, don't be like this, don't, don't." He kept his eyes closed, obviously talking in his sleep.

The queen sat beside her, not knowing what was going on, her hairs stood on end, and her mind was churning: Uncle?The emperor had two uncles, the eldest uncle was raised at home when he was old, and the second uncle was the head of the House of Internal Affairs.

I remembered!The emperor just went to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to settle the accounts of this corruption, and it was settled on Uncle.

Erlang has four major hatreds in his life: first, he hated being lost when he was young, and in the end he took revenge on the emperor and empress dowager. A group of officials; the third hates someone to lie to him, no matter how big or small, as long as he dares to conceal a little, he will remember it in his heart; the fourth, hates corruption and bribery, and small money is really sweet.

Uncle has three ties... There are not many relatives in his mother's family. The only people who have seen Empress Mingde are these two old fathers-in-law. The emperor talks to them to comfort his mother. He stabbed a knife in the heart.

Thinking of this, the queen stood up gently, walked to the next room where the Taoist ancestor of the Sanqing was worshiped, knelt down, and prayed silently.

The emperor was crying and a tear flowed into his ears. He felt very uncomfortable. He woke up in his sleep, sat up and wiped his ears, and looked around in panic, but there was no one in the room. "Come here! Good luck!"

Duofu hurried in: "Your Majesty, are you awake?"

The emperor casually grabbed the pillow and wiped his face: "Where is Yao Sanlang?"

"Two hours ago, Yao Shenxian went out after you fell asleep."

"Prefer sex over friends!" The emperor said angrily, "Where's the queen? Didn't she come to see me?"

The queen smiled and answered outside: "How dare you not come."

The frizzy emperor saw her walk in gracefully, her appearance was not a beauty, but more gentle and demure.Slowly relaxing, he stretched out his hand and said, "Zi Tong, come here and stay with me for a while. The head of the House of Internal Affairs was dismissed for corruption and investigated, and handed over to the Ministry of Criminal Justice for trial. Wuwuwu, you said that my mother has a spirit in heaven, and she will Won't you say I'm wrong?"

The queen gave him a smooth hair: "Don't worry, I used to like my brother the most besides you. Now that I have a prince, the order has been rearranged. I like you the most, followed by the prince, and then the elder brother of my natal family."

The emperor burst into tears when he heard this, and plunged into the queen's arms: "The prince is really blessed. Not only do he have both parents, but they are also very good. I'm a little jealous."

The true and false beautiful boy duo Invisible Yufeng hurried back to the palace, saw the empress hugging and rolling on the bed, turned around in embarrassment and ran towards the imperial garden.

The emperor also complained full of resentment: "Did I give my uncle very little money? Other honorables only get 1000 taels of silver rewards during festivals, and I will give him 3000 taels! It's all white money! He The family is small and the salary is high, isn’t it enough to spend? Why do you want to be corrupt! Corruption is fine, blah blah, he often lies to me! He always said that he saved hundreds of taels of silver this time by making dragon robes, next time The newly made books and inkstones saved hundreds of taels of silver. I was so stupid and happy. I felt that my uncle and I were really of the same mind. But he embezzled tens of millions of taels of silver! The household officials said that only the grain and noodles used in the palace In terms of fish and meat, he can embezzle 10 taels every year!"

The queen also felt pain when she heard this: "Then I must have embezzled a lot of money for making clothes and jewelry."

The emperor raised his head, his temples were burning with smoke, and he broke the bed: "It's okay if the censor never said that, but Zhuo Donglai never told me, did he conspire with uncle to embezzle my money?"

"Isn't it?"

"Why not? The firm under him is sometimes in charge of purchasing and supplying goods. It's hard to check if the hatchback is fake! Oh, I used to have a Qin Ajiang who needed to use him. He has no friends and is a lonely minister. Became his relative! What a powerful force!"

The queen comforted: "Don't worry, investigate slowly, and everything will come to light. Your Majesty's use of the old uncle is nepotism, and Zhuo Donglai is carefully selected and carefully considered. It is not good to be suspicious and slander people for no reason."

The emperor jumped up: "You are right! Since he is not in the capital and has no time to give false testimony, I will check his family's account as well."

The queen quickly stopped him: "Think twice! Erlang, I heard that what he wants him to do is confidential and important. If you send someone to check, but they don't find out the account books, you will be photographed to check the account books of officials at all levels in private. Come out, how will that end?

Who do you want to send to search, if the person who goes there is not upright and has bad intentions, he will show you some perjury, not to mention alienating the monarch and his ministers, and implicating other things.At this time, you might as well make a long-term plan. You can also send someone to investigate privately, and then ask him about this matter when he comes back. The sage said to observe his words and observe his deeds. "

The emperor was persuaded, and sat there for a while, hugging the queen and sighing: "Without you, I would really be alone."

Thinking about it, it shouldn’t be possible, and there’s no way to check it. The business he told me covers all walks of life, and he also collects various protection fees. Matouhe transports salt to help him eat a portion, and the ginseng from Yudongbei in Lantian sells everything. .I am also reimbursed every quarter. If it weren’t for spending money to maintain the pervasive intelligence agencies and news transmission, and still expanding to other countries, I would have received 20 taels of silver every quarter.

This is different from my uncle. The Ministry of Internal Affairs asks for money all the year round. Donglai only asked me for some money and his status to act cheaply at the beginning.

The author has something to say: Is it really easy for famous people to do things?Otherwise there wouldn't be so many entrepreneurs working hard on self-promotion and marketing.

I don't know if I can make blood tofu with human blood, I'm curious.

@文漫的技 is the interpretation of Yiwa's WB, which can be hooked up or chatted with.

I have written psychoanalysis specifically for emperors and empresses.I'm really serious.No one else has psychoanalysis.
