Chapter 354 354: Shen·Whetstone·Tang【Two in one】
“Mama, is there something wrong?”
Although he was drunk, Gong Xiqiu still separated. Part of his mind was focused on Zhiyin's expression, and he was puzzled when he saw Shen Tang's face switching flexibly between white, cyan and black.
_(:з)∠)_
Could it be that I accidentally offended someone again?
Gong Xiqiu sipped his wine.
I was mentally preparing to draft an apology.
Don't ask why he is so proficient and unresisting. Ask him that it is a passive skill that is born with the cubs from the matrilineal clan.
Because Gongxiqiu Daxiao was pretty and showed outstanding talent in singing and dancing at a young age, the clan elders concluded at a glance that he would be a prodigy with both singing and dancing in the future. Many people of the same age in the clan are vying to be his future son's mother-in-law.
Gong Xiqiu has seen many disputes in this environment.
They argued together, and he apologized to calm it down.
It would be better for him to apologize than for a fight between a few people to turn into a melee with gavels, right? Gong Xiqiu often looked at himself near the water, wondering why the people in the water were so handsome.
You are already like this at such a young age, can you grow up?
As he was a little older, Gong Xiqiu knew that he thought too much. His mother-in-law and uncle deceived his son/nephew without blinking an eye. Gong Xiqiu had been practicing boy skills since he was a child. Before your cultivation reaches a certain level, you cannot get involved with women.
I still remember that my uncle gave him a serious warning.
[You can’t have sex with men either. 】
Gong Xiqiu: […]
【We must dedicate it to the gods. 】
Gong Xiqiu knew how to pierce his heart at a young age, and asked his uncle with an innocent and ignorant face: "It turns out that my uncle was dedicated to the gods, so that's why Mama doesn't like him, right?" 】
That day, Gong Xiqiu’s butt blossomed.
His cries were heard from one end of the clan to the other.
Recalling the trivial matters in his childhood, Gong Xiqiu, who was already facing separation from his close friend, became even more depressed: "Mama?"
Shen Tang was brought back to his senses by this sound.
"Huh? Haha, I'm fine. I'm just a little surprised when I suddenly come across this... fact that is different from the science I've known in the past..." Shen Tang waved his hands repeatedly and smiled to cover up the matter of being distracted. , all kinds of inner chaos.
She felt something wasn't quite right.
It was in vain that she was talking nonsense in front of Wang Chao during the day, inviting him to smell her fresh meat. Good guy, in less than half a day, she was slapped in the face at the speed of light. The vest she is currently using is perhaps, highly likely, possible... the not-so-new sacred object from the Gongxi Qiu Clan? What should we do?
She was at a loss for words.
My heart skipped a beat, and I suppressed the twitching corners of my mouth.
A coincidence is a coincidence, but when several coincidences are added together, it is no longer a mere coincidence.
According to the description of the dowry maid and later dancer, Mr. Shen of the Shen family is a master who loves antiques and antiques. Maybe the coffin he brought back to the Shen Mansion overnight came from those inverters. Bought in hand. After opening the coffin, they saw that the deceptive sacred object lying inside was somewhat similar to the missing eldest lady of the Shen family. As the wedding was approaching, they let the sacred object take her place.
Later, the "holy object" farted on the distribution road.
Shen Tang came through at this juncture.
So, everything is smoothed out!
Shen Tang took a breath of air.
If the science of this world is really suppressed by theology, not only will there be literary minds and courage, a sacred object that has been sleeping for two hundred years and can be deceived, and people who keep saying that they will come back The benefactor of the Gongxi tribe...
Then his face turned pale again.
What should she do as an outsider who accidentally takes possession of the sacred vest? Will it be seen through at a glance? Will he be burned alive as a monster? Will he be slapped on the wall by the benefactor of the Gongxi tribe who was so embarrassed that he couldn't dig it off?
No, no!
Shen Tang shivered suddenly.
Slap on the table: "Absolutely not!"
Gong Xiqiu was so frightened by her that he almost couldn't hold the pottery bowl steady, his eyes were blank: "Mama, what's 'definitely not possible'?"
Shen Tang laughed and laughed: "It's nothing, it's just his own inspiration. The story that appeared in a flash made me angry. "
Looking at Gong Xiqiu, he secretly said sorry.
Unless Gong Xiqiu follows the clues and traces her body, she will not take the initiative to tell Gong Xiqiu that the vest she is wearing now is most likely from two hundred people buried in their clan's holy land. Years old rice dumplings.
Moreover——
Given that the Gongxi clan has kept their benefactor's promise for more than two hundred years, and only one member of the clan is left, Ui Xing, who refuses to give up easily, and coupled with Gong Xi Qiu's enigmatic brain circuitry, it is difficult to guarantee that once Gong Xi Qiu finds out about his The vest is a sacred object, and he won't do anything with it. Shen Tang guessed that this guy might politely invite Shen Tang to lie back in the coffin and wait with him for the reincarnation of his benefactor.
_(:з)∠)_
Since we have to wait anyway——
She should wait outside the coffin.
Thinking of this, Shen Tang felt extremely sad.
Seeing the table full of delicious food, I lost my appetite for chopsticks.
Seeing that she was sad, Gong Xiqiu also thought that their close friends would part ways soon. He groaned, cried, banged the bowl with chopsticks, and sang a cappella the song that he had just recently been inspired to compose. That tune can make people urinate.
After hearing this, Shen Tang held his head and sobbed.
Gong Xiqiu burst into tears as he sang.
In such a large lobby, no one dared to approach the pair of snakes. Gu Chi felt embarrassed and raised his hand to recall Yu Zi and Xian Yujian. The latter two had expressions as if they were struck by lightning.
Xian Yujian is pretty good.
After all, he doesn’t know much about music theory.
Yu Zi understands.
She bit her lower lip: "Sir, Master Lang and the others..."
Gu Chi smiled towards the lobby, with a smile that was profound and complicated that Yu Zi didn't understand. Said: "Don't pay attention to them. One is drunk after drinking too much, and the other is drunk without drinking. Let them have a drunken madness... After all, there will not be many such opportunities in the future. Once is a once. …”
Yu Zi only felt that Mr. Gu was so gentle.
Mr. Kang is much more reasonable.
However, Mr. Kang is also very good.
Xian Yujian felt that there was something in what this gentleman said, because judging from the literary scholars he had come into contact with, there was something wrong with this group, and what they said on their lips was very different from what they thought in their hearts. The former cannot be believed, while the latter has to guess.
The young man nodded to Mr. Gu.
Gu Chi stood in the corridor, watching the young man raise his hand, his martial energy condensed into a spear, and his figure vigorously danced with exquisite marksmanship. After doing it three or five times, he started to sweat a little. Even a layman can tell that the young man has solid foundation and excellent martial arts skills.
But Gu Chi had no intention of admiring it.
He looked up at the bright moon in the sky.
I suddenly remembered that day when he and Shen Tang were walking by the stream in the cold and biting night wind, chatting while walking.
It is more accurate to say that it is chatting, but to test each other.
He tested whether Shen Tang was the person he was looking for.
Shen Tang is testing whether he is a useful person.
Afterwards, in order to gain his trust, Shen Tang opened her mouth to reveal her biggest secret. She also said that if he listened to the secret but refused to keep his heart, then she could only keep his body.
Gu Chi naturally chose to refuse without even thinking about it.
He didn't want to separate from Shen Tang one day and be killed by the other party for this reason. This worry was not without reason.
People's hearts are inherently changeable. At this time, they can cherish each other, treat each other sincerely, and rely on each other externally and internally, but it does not mean that this will still be the case in the future. As Shen Tang keeps going down, her power will expand, and more and more people will follow her.
No longer limited to Gu Chi.
There will be struggle if there are people. Struggle requires unity.
Divided into different factions based on inheritance, region, interests, and relationships, each fights for interests, positions, or morality.
The more people and factions there are, the more likely it is to cause trouble. Shen Tang will have to learn how to balance them in the future, and will also drift further and further away from some people in the process of balancing. This is inevitable.
Just like today, Shen Tang is still satisfied with riding a pig in addition to her heavy official duties, but in the future, this trivial happiness will not satisfy her. Even though he had the skills of a scribe who could read the hearts of his listeners, he could not say that he could fully control the changes in people's hearts.
Shen Tang will change, and so will the people who follow her.
The human heart is something that is difficult to understand.
Think about it, this is the secret that the Lord wanted to tell you that day, right? Gu Chi folded his hands in his sleeves and stared at the moon for an hour, while Xian Yujian thought he was watching him practice. Gritting my teeth, I dare not slack off more and more, and work hard.
The second day.
Gong Xiqiu woke up from a hangover and found himself back on the bed in the inn room. He heard the sound of water behind the screen.
Knowing who that person was, he pulled up the quilt, lay on his side and curled up, preparing to lie down for a while. Then I heard footsteps approaching.
"Parents, please cleanse your face."
It turned out to be the boy disguised as a man.
Gong Xiqiu saw that he couldn't stay in bed, and his mouth was full of anger under the quilt. The moment he lifted the quilt, his expression returned to normal - he secretly said, this is a maid, not his subordinate officer, and she can't be angry in bed. To a weak and defenseless woman.
"Why am I back?"
"It was Mr. Shen who sent you back."
To be precise, he dragged you back.
He also refused the help of Gongxi Qiu's official.
She could only watch as Gong Xi Qiu rushed forward, face down, and was dragged all the way back to the room by Shen Tang while lying on her back. For a moment, the subordinate officials couldn't tell whether Shen Tang was kind or intentional.
_(:з)∠)_
Tell this to Gong Xiqiu, and he will probably roll his eyes - nonsense, Mama is a kind-hearted person, she must have good intentions!
As expected.
Gong Xiqiu washed his face.
The hangover smell seems to have faded a lot.
“Mama, that little girl, brought me back, it’s really hard on her.” Gong Xiqiu’s reply left the maid speechless for a while.
I couldn’t tell for a moment whether Gong Xiqiu was thanking him or mocking him.
Gong Xiqiu asked again: "Where is she?"
The maid hesitated for a while, observing Gong Xiqiu's face.
"I went out at dawn. The people brought by Mr. Shen began to pack their bags and left the inn after noon. They have only left for a short time. Do you want to catch up, parents?"
Who would have known that Gong Xiqiu was not left by Shen Tang without saying goodbye? Unhappily, he hummed the score from last night in his mouth. After humming, he clapped his thighs and sighed: "Oh, Mama still understands my thoughts."
Knowing that he hated separation, he held a practice banquet, Tianyi Liang packed up his things and left to avoid unnecessary sadness.
Same!
Where in life do we not meet!
If we are separated today, how can we know that we will not meet again tomorrow?
As everyone knows -
Gu Chixiao asked Shen Tang: "Master, why are you in such a hurry?"
Shen Tang looked back while riding his motorcycle.
Don’t worry until you are sure that there is no dust raised by the horses behind you.
"Don't worry, Gong Xiqiu will catch up and beat you up?"
Shen Tang admitted that she was a little unhappy, so she deliberately dragged Gong Xiqiu. Who made the drunk Gong Xiqiu easy to bully? If you don't bully him now, it will be hard to tell on the battlefield in the future. She quickly negotiated a deal with the people brought by Zhang He, signed the contract in triplicate, and then took the people to grease their soles.
Gu Chi couldn't help laughing.
However, his smile froze when he heard Shen Tang also start humming the score Gong Xiqiu improvised last night.
Try to find other topics to digress from.
"Lord."
"What?"
"I felt a little emotional for a moment."
Monk Shen Tang Zhang Er was confused: "Emotional?"
She thought Gu Chi was insulated from this word.
He asked along the way: "What are you feeling?"
Gu Chi smiled and said: "Of course I feel that we have been used as a grindstone again. There was Wu Zhaode before me, and Zhang Yongqing behind..."
< br>“Where did this come from?”
“The few people Zhang Yongqing brought today are all members of prominent families in Lingzhou. The plague in the early years The epidemic helped Zhang Yongqing gain a foothold in Lingzhou, and then he took down Yiru without any effort, which somewhat annoyed the local prominent families. However, due to Zhang Yongqing's high reputation and his cunning and cautious nature, he could not be killed by any means. , but he took the opportunity to cultivate a lot of power..."
Shen Tang: "Are they hostile?"
Gu Chi smiled: "The relationship between people sitting in this kind of seat can never be described as 'friendly' or 'hostile'. They are wary of each other and kill each other, and they also cooperate and depend on each other for development. It depends. What is needed at the moment. In the eyes of outsiders, exchanging spiritual wine for medicinal materials is a sure-profit deal. We have made so much profit, but Zhang Yongqing actually doesn’t take a bite of the cake himself, and is still interacting to build bridges, which is a bit of a show of goodwill. I guess the latter also thinks so about the plans of these famous families."
Shen Tang understands this trick: "You said that Zhang Yongqing is a traitor and deliberately uses this method to deceive people?"
After years of operation, the medicinal materials market has become a major source of income for Yiru. In addition, the harvests in recent years have been very poor. The income from the fields owned by these noble families is almost always in deficit. The difference lies in the size of the deficit. There are so many people in the clan, and the annual expenses are a huge amount. Sooner or later, we will have to eat all the food we have.
Many people have set their sights on the medicinal materials industry.
The current world is so chaotic, wars are going on everywhere, and it is noisy. It is not only rice that is popular, but also medicinal materials.
The former fills the stomach, the latter can save lives.
Every company will focus on it.
Is this Zhang Yongqing’s move just to pull the trigger?
Take this opportunity to suppress and gain power?
It’s not impossible.
There are also local nobles investing in Zhang Yongqing, hoping that other competitors and enemies will fall behind and let them eat the cake.
Gu Chi said: "It's almost the same."
"What's going on with Wu Zhaode?"
Gu Chi said with a smile: "Wu Zhaode also used spiritual wine to drink it away." There are few benefits. The Wu family is originally from the Tianhai family, and it is much easier to get started than Zhang Yongqing. The Lord is probably smiling when he looks at them. Don't you want to give it a try? "
A game of external fighting and internal fighting.
Shen Tang thought for a while.
Embarrassed: "He Yin territory can barely be regarded as belonging to the family. It seems that I have shaved it clean, and all the family property has been confiscated... If King Yama handles it more diligently, I guess they will all be here now. Is it six or seven months old in the mother’s womb?”
She probably won’t be able to experience this kind of fun.
