Spring and Autumn GL

9. Yue Nv Becomes Famous

Azhi lived in the palace for another seven days and nights, and according to Fan Li's wishes, he completely beat his elite soldiers into crippled soldiers, and finally compiled a decent sword manual.Among these sergeants, some were seriously injured and disabled. Fan Li gave them a large sum of money to send them home to retire in peace of mind. Some of them were treated with good medicine, and those with minor injuries continued to serve in the army.He carefully selected dozens of people, regrouped two hundred elite soldiers, and asked them to practice according to the sword manual.

Except for the delicious food, everything in the palace is restricted. Although the carved beams and painted buildings, you will get tired of looking at them for a long time. Ah Zhi feels that he really doesn't feel comfortable living with the white ape in the mountains. Wait for him to come home.

As soon as Fan Li entered the door, Ah Zhi jumped down from the beam excitedly. Fan Li was shocked, thinking that it was an assassin from somewhere, so he drew his sword and stabbed him.Ah Zhi didn't dodge or dodge, he squeezed lightly with two fingers, and the sword couldn't move at all.

When Fan Li saw that it was Ah Zhi, he breathed a sigh of relief, put away his sword and asked:

"Miss Azhi, I'm visiting late at night, what's the matter?"

Ah Zhi smiled and said: "There is nothing important, but I have to go! Your palace is too boring, although the food is delicious, but no one plays with me, walking around is only such a big place, boring!"

Fan Li hurriedly said, "Don't worry, what's wrong with the girl, I'll send someone to do it for you, so why leave in such a hurry?"

Azhi said: "Although you don't marry me, I only come to say goodbye to you as a friend. If you stop me, I won't be a friend anymore!"

Fan Li waved his hand: "Okay, okay, go if you feel bored, but how can I find you in the future?"

"What do you want me for?" Azhi smiled and said, "You want to marry me? Forget it, I just want to marry you because I like you. If I want to live in the palace all day like you, then that's a shame." No. By the way, who is your sweetheart?"

Fan Li spread his hands, "This...it's inconvenient to talk about."

Ah Zhi pouted: "It's fine if you don't say it, I will find out sooner or later. Eunuch Bai hasn't seen me go back for so many days, I'm afraid he's going to die of anxiety, do you have any wine?"

Fan Li remembered the good wine that Ah Zhi was talking about, Eunuch Bai, and hurriedly took her to the warehouse, and brought her two altars of old wine.

Ah Zhi opened the wine jar, took a sip, and said, "Well, it's really good wine, so that Eunuch Bai won't be angry. If you want to find me, you can go to Mount Zhuluo to find me, haha, but you may not be able to find me." !"

After finishing speaking, he gave a soft laugh, soared into the air, jumped onto the room with one step, and disappeared in two or three strokes.

Fan Li was flustered after hearing "Zhuluo Mountain". How could it be so well-behaved, and it has something to do with this ghost place?Fortunately, that Ah Zhi is young, looks innocent, doesn't seem like a person full of scheming, and rarely interacts with people, so he probably won't cause obstacles to the King's plan... But even if he wants to kill the grass, where should he start?Not to mention whether he can find her, but even if he does, there are not a thousand or eight hundred people, and I'm afraid they can't hurt her even a single hair.At that time, a mighty group of people will patrol the mountain, and it will be strange if they are not suspected. It is better to wait and see what happens, the soldiers will block it, and the water will cover it.

Xi Shi and Zheng Dan only kept their filial piety for seven days, and then they were called by Fan Li to a majestic palace in Xiyuan, where they took off their filial attire and changed into gorgeous clothes and accessories.The two of them were naturally elegant and refined, but once they were lined with this gorgeous clothes, they immediately became like a country and a city.Fan Li greatly admired and said seriously:

"The two girls are indeed natural beauties! Just being beautiful is not enough. The two of you grew up in a remote place, and you don't know much about court affairs. From today, I will teach you some history, state affairs, and some Strategies and conspiracies, art of war, etc. There are really many things to learn, I hope you will not get bored."

When Xi Shi and Zheng Dan heard these words they had never heard before, they became curious and looked at Fan Li with smiles on both sides.Fan Li put his hands behind his back, walked in front of Zheng Dan, and said:

"I know your backgrounds, but you must not mention them to others. From now on, you will still be called Zheng Dan, and Xi Shi will still be called Yi Guang. It's just that you have to explain your backgrounds differently."

Because Zheng Dan lived in Kuaiji when she was a child, Fan Li made up a story for her that she grew up in a merchant's family and fell into poverty. Xi Shi was given the status of an orphan, and there was a man who worked in a yarn mill. story.It took the two of them a day to memorize these two stories by heart. Fan Li questioned and filled them in, and he didn't feel relieved until there was really nothing wrong.

The next day, Fan Li asked again. The two girls were extremely smart, they never forgot a single word, and they remembered everything by heart, but Fan Li shook his head:

"You are just endorsing. You have to forget your original life experience and take the story I told you as your life experience. You can't even deceive yourself, so who can you deceive?"

Xi Shi frowned, it was too difficult for others.

Fan Li hurriedly said: "It's okay, don't rush it for a while, as long as you try your best, you will get better. Let's not talk about this matter, you two, playing the piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, silk, bamboo and music, what can you do?"

The two shook their heads.Fan Li patted his forehead helplessly, and said:

"I'll find a musician this afternoon. You should learn the piano from him first. Now I'll tell you about the history of Wuyue and the other adults. Although there is no need to show these things in front of Fucha, you should know what you know. People need to be protected, who needs to be eliminated, and the stakes are very complicated."

Xi Shi and Zheng Dan were devastated all day long, learning one thing and another, Fan Li also knew that it was a bit of a blow to the seedlings, but fortunately these two women were careful and smart.Two years have passed, although he can't be said to be proficient in everything, but they all look good. Xi Shi is especially good at playing the pipa, and Zheng Dan is good at chess.

During this period, Fan Li reminded them of the country's hatred and family hatred from time to time, and the two had only these words, and gradually got used to hating Wu and being loyal to the King of Yue, and developed great admiration for Fan Li and Goujian.It's just that when Zheng Dan looked at Fan Li, even if his gaze wandered, Fan Li often avoided it, and was afraid that she would think too much, so he secretly wrote to her, asking her to let go of her love for her children.

The temperament of the two has become very different from before in the past few years. Xi Shi is elegant, Zheng Dan is generous, and the two are compatible and complementary. The youthfulness before is gone, and there is a touch of tenderness in the brows.Gou Jian came to see him from time to time, and was amazed every time.

Fan Li's new store opened on this day, and he thought it would be a good time to spread the reputation of the two, so that Fucha would not be dissatisfied with Yue State when he said that Yue State gave him two little-known women.So he took Xi Shi and Zheng Dan to the market, went to the second floor of the newly opened tea house, and sat in the house.

When everything was ready, he beat gongs and drums to attract all the nearby neighbors. Seeing that there were many people gathered, he called Xi Shi and Zheng Dan out, but saw that their faces were covered with Light gauze, wearing a big cloak.But just that elegant or majestic figure attracted the people downstairs to sigh in admiration.

Fan Li then said: "Everyone, Fan Li's new store opened today, and I specially invited two of the most beautiful women from my country of Yue to join in the fun. Are you interested in taking a look?"

All the common people exploded, they have never heard of the "two most beautiful women" in the country of Yue, but since Dr. Fan has spoken, with his high reputation, who can not believe it?At this time, how many people remembered that Fan Li had been looking for beauties in the streets and alleys a year ago, and when he mentioned it to everyone, everyone suddenly realized that the result of his search was these two?

"Doctor Fan, which family's woman is this?" a commoner boldly asked.

Fan Li smiled: "These two, one is Xi Shi and the other is Zheng Dan. I found them after searching all over the country. It's a pity that they are poor and have no relatives. Both of them are beautiful people. Your Majesty and I really love each other." I can't tell who is more beautiful, so I have to let you all help to appreciate it. After a while, everyone will come to I listen to Xuexuan, and I will treat everyone to free tea. Then the two girls will show their faces and decide which one you think is more beautiful. Looks good, please put a cloth coin under their feet, after dusk, whoever gets the most will win, how about that?"

One cloth coin is really not much, and there are peerless beauties to watch, and free tea to eat, who would not go?Immediately, the crowd poured into the teahouse.

Xi Shi and Zheng Dan turned in and came to a small open table on the second floor of the teahouse.The pipa, silk bamboo and other things were already prepared on that stage, and after a while the crowd filled the second-floor teahouse, making the floor creak.Fan Li saw that the time had come, and winked at Zheng Dan and Xi Shi. The two understood, took off their cloaks, and removed their veils. Zheng Dan played the guqin, and Xi Shi played the hole Xiao, and the elegant and simple music spread leisurely. come out.

As soon as the common people saw the clothes and faces of those two people, they all gasped - how could there be such a beautiful woman in the world?Are they really Vietnamese?Shouldn't it be a fairy in the sky?It wasn't until someone suddenly shouted "Okay!" that everyone came back to their senses and cheered one after another.Not long after, a young man in fluttering white clothes came forward, put a cloth coin into the basket in front of Xi Shi, frowned and thought for a while, then took out another cloth coin and put it in front of Zheng Dan, turned around and cupped his hands and smiled at Fan Li road:

"Doctor Fan, I'm really sorry, I can't tell which one is more beautiful, so I can only express my thanks in this way."

When everyone saw it, they remembered the purpose of their trip, took out money and put it in front of the two of them.Half an hour later, when the two got tired of playing the piano, Xi Shi pushed the guqin aside, picked up the pipa and played it, while Zheng Dan picked up a brush and began to write on a piece of white silk.A moment later, the writing was finished, and two attendants unfolded the white silk, and saw four big characters displayed in front of everyone, which were the four characters of heaven, earth, black and yellow.Seeing that the word was written vigorously yet tenderly, gentle yet domineering, everyone clapped their hands and applauded.

The two showed their talents one by one, and the people were full of praise. Before dusk, the names of Xi Shi and Zheng Dan had spread all over the streets and alleys. Ting Xuexuan's tea had run out, and only water was left.Even so, there was still a long line in front of the door, and everyone wanted to go upstairs to have a look.

The crowd had changed several times, and some of them didn't know how many times they lined up. The baskets in front of Xi Shi and Zheng Dan were full and then empty, empty and full again, and finally it was dusk.The two of them were so tired that their mouths were dry, their backs were sore and their backs ached, but they still had smiles on their faces as usual, and no one could see that they were actually complaining in their hearts.

Fan Li knocked a gong, announcing that the time had come.He sent people to count the cloth coins, and the four of them counted for a long time, and found that Xi Shi got 230 four pieces, but Zheng Dan got 230 and [-] pieces, only one more than Xi Shi.Fan Li smiled, and secretly took out two cloth coins and put them on Xi Shi's side.When the results are announced, it is natural that Xi Shi beat Zheng Dan by only one coin.

Such a result was not unexpected, no one felt that Zheng Dan was inferior to Xi Shi because of this, they just thought it was God's will, each of them laughed and left Tingxuelou.

Zheng Dan is not unhappy either, she and Xi Shi have become a little indifferent now, and nothing can arouse their interest.The happiest one was Fan Li. Firstly, he made the two girls famous, and secondly, he actually made a lot of money.

Someone reported this matter to Gou Jian long ago, Gou Jian nodded and praised Fan Li, but felt a little unhappy.Xi Shi and Zheng Dan are from Yue, so they are naturally his.Fan Li didn't have his consent on this matter, although Gou Jian understood his intentions, he felt that although Fan Li acted cleverly, he didn't take him as the king of Yue seriously.In comparison, the language is much better. Regardless of the big or small things, it is a bit annoying to report everything, but it is a respect anyway.

Fan Li rewarded some of the money to the servants hired by the teahouse, and gave more than half of the remaining money to Xishi Zheng Dan, and kept some for himself.Zheng Dan reluctantly returned the coin to Fan Li, saying:

"We can't go out of the palace, and now my mother has passed away, and I don't have any relatives. Where are we going to spend the money?"

Fan Li thought about it, accepted the money and said, "Those two girls want some gadgets, I'll send someone to buy them for you."

Zheng Dan said with a smile: "Don't bother Dr. Fan, the country's hatred has not been reported, and I have no intention of having fun."

Fan Li's expression turned serious, and he looked at Xi Shi, but Xi Shi had a smile in his eyes, and said:

"I want to eat cornbread made by my mother, will you go and buy it for me?"

Seeing that the two were clearly complaining in their hearts, yet they were still smiling like this, Fan Li felt a little creepy, but it was okay, it showed that the two of them had a lot more resilience.It's just that the acting skills have not been perfected, strangers can't see their thoughts, but after getting along for a long time, they will inevitably show their flaws.
