Three Kingdoms

The backyard of Jinyang Posthouse.

"Sister Zhen, is this really useful?" 』

Wang Ying actually didn't have any confidence in her heart, and since it was related to herself, it was inevitable that she would feel unhappy and uneasy.

Zhen Mi smiled, "Actually, I'm not sure. 』

"ah? ” Wang Ying was immediately startled.

"Hehe," Zhen Mi chuckled, "But as long as we can calm down, half the battle is won." 』

"Then...what about the other half?" ” Wang Ying asked.

Zhen Mi, who was sitting in the hall, raised her eyebrows, her long and thin eyebrows, as if she had some sharpness, "Now let's see how they respond to this..."

"Sister Zhen?" Wang Ying was a little confused, "We, no, Sister Zhen, what have we done?" 』

"It's not us..." Zhen Mi smiled, "Don't forget, there are still some people outside the city gate..."

"Sister Zhen is saying..." Wang Ying seemed to understand something.

Zhen Mi smoothed the wrinkles on her sleeves, "Actually, this is similar to doing business... One party wants to get a good price, and the other party wants to get a bargain, so what should we do?" At this time, it would be meaningless to honestly talk about the quality of these items. Because the people who want to buy have already determined the quality of the item. They just want a lower price. No matter how clearly you explain the item or how well you explain it, it will not make any difference. effect……"

"So..." Wang Ying nodded and said, "Let people rush to buy it!" If you don’t buy it, it’s gone! 』

Zhen Mi smiled like a cat that had bitten a fish.

……(\u003e^ω^\u003c)\u003c·)))\u003e\u003c\u003c……

Jinyang Market.

A middle-aged man looked gentle and said with a smile: "You haven't heard of it?" 』

"I haven't heard of it," the shopkeeper in the shop was startled and said, "What should I have heard of?" 』

The middle-aged man shook his fan and put it away with a click. A mysterious smile appeared on his face, "It sounds incredible, but this time... someone is going to be unlucky." 』

"Who, who?" ”The shopkeeper stretched his neck.

"Hey, how can you say this?" Can't say the name, can't say. ” The middle-aged man waved his hand, “If I tell this, people will think that I am a rumor and put me in jail. Wouldn’t it be unfair? 』

"Then use an asterisk... bah, just give a rough idea?" "The shopkeeper said, "It's okay if you just give me a name or something. How boring is it for you to say this and keep half of it? Just say something, and I’ll give you a discount next time..."

"Why next time?" Not this time? ” The middle-aged man raised his eyebrows.

"It's all settled this time...next time, next time, definitely next time..." The shopkeeper said this very smoothly, and he must have fooled many people with these words.

The middle-aged man banged his hands twice with the folding fan, seemed to think about it for a moment, and then said: "Okay, you and I have been friends for a long time. You can't tell me what I said!" 』

"How can it be?" ” The shopkeeper leaned over with a smile. The word "can" seemed to be spinning around in the throat before rolling out like a gurgling sound. I don't know if it was missing some sounds or some words.

"If you knew about this recent incident, you should have guessed something..." The middle-aged man gently tapped his palms with a folding fan, "You know about the lotus spoon that was locked up before, right?" Do you know how this wealthy lotus owner was discovered to have engaged in illegal activities? 』

The shopkeeper shook his head.

"Hi! ” The middle-aged man slapped his fan heavily and said, “It’s money! 』

"money? ” the shopkeeper repeated.

The middle-aged man nodded, "Think about it, where did the money come from?" Can money fall from the sky? Like how do you make money? Don't you have to buy the goods first, and then I will come to you to buy them, and then you make money, and then buy the goods, and then someone will buy..."

The shopkeeper subconsciously waved his hand and said: "It's all hard-earned money, so just make some hard-earned money..."

"That's right, hard-earned money!" Are you willing to spend your hard-earned money lavishly, buying this or that? ” The middle-aged man said, “For example, if you go out for a trip outside the city, should you spend a few cents to hire a car, or should you spend a lot of money to buy a Dawanma? 』

The shopkeeper grumbled in his stomach because I didn't spend any money at all. Wouldn't it be nice to let the clerk harness my own mules and horses? But he still said: "Of course you can't spend a lot of money... Oh, you mean..."

The middle-aged man said seriously: "I didn't say anything, I meant you and me!" Anyway, my money is not easy to come by, so I have to be frugal in spending it. These days, I may run out of money at some point, so how can I do it if I don’t frugal with it? Are you right? 』

"Yep! exactly! "The shopkeeper said, "Everything here is cheap and high-quality. It's definitely a good deal to buy things here..."

"Okay, stop bragging..." The middle-aged man stood up and shook his sleeves, "That's what I said, just listen to it, don't spread it... These people, their money is not right!" If the money is not right, I will feel uneasy. I always want to spend it before it can be regarded as my own... but I also don't think about it, can his family's property... have so much money? Ha, this is called being weak and unable to hold back a windfall! Sooner or later it will bring disaster! 』

"ah! Brother, what you said makes sense! 』

……ｂ（￣▽￣）d……

Jinyang government office.

"There are rumors in the market? 』

Cui Jun frowned, then waved his hand to ask the inquiring followers to step back. Then he slowly turned around in the hall with his hands behind his back, like a donkey with the task of grinding.

In later generations, there were more things about latecomers taking precedence, and people gradually stopped caring about it. However, in the Han Dynasty, most of the time it was the seniors who were lagging behind and waiting in line to share the fruits. The sudden rise of Feiqian not only made people in Shandong uncomfortable. , in fact, it will make the seniors who were once at the forefront of Fei Qian somewhat uncomfortable.

Cui Jun admires Fei Qian, admires him, respects Fei Qian, he also respects him.

But can admiration and respect replace comfort?

Obviously not.

that year……

Cui Jun wandered around the hall and sighed after a while.

I am getting old.

Yes, Hussar is also old, but he himself is old, just from Xihe to Taiyuan. Compared with General Hussar, well...

Only when you are old can you recall and think about how good it would have been if you were young, and how wonderful it would have been back then. But in fact, you are not really old at this time, and when you are really old, you will be sick all day long. Being haunted, either lingering or dying, I no longer particularly look back on those years.

It's like a modern time-travel novel at a certain point in later generations. If you look forward, you will travel from the 1970s, then to the 1980s, then to the 1990s, and then to the 2000s. Wait a few more years, and it will definitely appear. Traveling through the 10s...

Why?

The truth is actually very simple.

Cui Jun sighed slightly, then stood still, "Here comes someone!" 』

Today's young people...

Cui Jun heard this sentence said by others when he was young, and then he smiled.

Now, it is Cui Jun's turn to say this himself.

He once thought that Wang Ying and that Zhen Mi would lose their composure because they were young, and would take the lead in making some moves. However, he did not expect that now they could not keep their composure, but they looked a bit like himself.

"Your Majesty..." The attendants responded and bowed their heads in salute.

Cui Jun pondered.

Cui Jun is like a shopkeeper who opens a shop in Jinyang, Taiyuan. Now that the situation has become somewhat incapable of making big profits, it becomes acceptable to make a little money.

These days, if the shopkeeper who opens the store is not smart and flexible, and fails to straighten out all aspects of the relationship, he may die without knowing how he died.

"Let's go and write a notice on the left of the order book, saying that according to the order of the Hussar, all officials in Taiyuan must declare their personal and family property..."

"only. ” The followers at a lower political level had no idea what such a notice meant. They just followed Cui Jun’s instructions and followed them.

……ㄟ(▔,▔)ㄏ……

Most people actually like to relax when they can.

If there really is such a thing...

Well, this is a serious needle.

Anyway, if you seize all the time to study and work hard, and don't go somewhere to feast and sweat, then you can naturally achieve some achievements. Of course, having said that, if everyone studies and works so hard, naturally there will be no such thing as some kind of success. The feasting and feasting of the place made me sweat like rain.

Jinyang City is a place full of feasting and feasting.

Wang Huaizheng organized a bureau, invited some people, served a banquet of wine, and wanted to do something...

For Wang Huai himself, this is definitely not to stir up trouble, but to protect himself.

How to "protect yourself"? Of course, it is better to protect yourself when there are more people.

Just like group buying, if a group of people go up and say something here and there, it will definitely be much better than going to the merchants one by one to talk. Of course, this kind of group buying principle can also be used in other aspects, such as where a group of people are going...

Then the kidnapping horse came, rushing the crowd to pieces.

This shows what?

China has been afraid of group buying since ancient times!

But Wang Huai’s group buying is a little different now.

The banquet is set.

Bought drinks.

But no one came.

Wang Huai was a little panicked and felt very angry. He was angry and flustered at the same time.

From noon to sunset, Wang Huai finally saw a familiar figure before, sneaking, wandering, and hesitantly arriving near the restaurant.

"Brother Tiansheng!" Here, here! 』

Wang Huai greeted him, feeling greatly relieved. What does it mean to see a friend in need, and this is it!

At first Wang Huai looked down on Zhang Sheng, thinking that Zhang Tiansheng just came from a poor country. He had a poor aura, and even if he laughed with him, he would look like a dog with only eight big teeth. , there is no elegant style at all.

But looking at it today, this person still has some merits!

Wang Huai's warm greeting shocked Zhang Sheng Zhang Tiansheng. He gestured quickly, stretched his head and looked around, not daring to approach the restaurant, so he stood on the other side of the road and signaled.

Wang Huai was a little helpless, but he still left the restaurant and went to the other side of the street, "Brother Tiansheng, what do you mean?" 』

"Shh..." Zhang Sheng quickly moved Wang Huai to the side and under the eaves, and said nervously, "Don't wait any longer, he won't come... Your Majesty, your Majesty gave an order to require Taiyuan officials to declare their personal and family property." ...』

"What does this have to do with anything?" Just repay...hiss..." Wang Huai said half of what he said, and then he realized what he was saying and couldn't help but widen his eyes.

Seeing that Wang Huai understood, Zhang Sheng took out a small bag from his pocket and stuffed it into Wang Huai, "Thank you so much, Brother Wang, for your kindness. I don't dare to accept this, I don't dare to accept it... Farewell, farewell..." 』

Wang Huai was stunned for a moment, subconsciously pinched with his hand, and then realized that he wanted to chase Zhang Sheng again, only to see Zhang Sheng scurrying like a rabbit and disappearing in the streets.

Wang Huai didn't need to open the bag specifically. He could generally guess what was inside the bag. It contained mostly flying tickets, perhaps the one he sent out before.

Although Wang Huai had never experienced such a scene before, he instinctively realized that when these officials, regardless of whether they were senior officials or junior officials, refused to accept money or even refund money, things would get serious... …

……《(;′Д`)》……

Inside the post house, Zhen Mi was arranging flowers.

March in spring is a good season for flower arrangements, with all kinds of flowers available.

"On my side, I'm just playing the drums. If the time comes, I still need you to come forward..." Zhen Mi stood a red flower in the middle and tapped the bright red flower with her white fingers. petals, "Look, it's like this flower... If you don't come forward, this scene won't happen... Flowers have priorities, and so do people. You are the most important in this matter, so When you appear, it must be at the end... Just like this, everything outside is surrounded by small flowers and grass..."

Wang Ying nodded, his serious eyes seeming to remember Zhen Mi's every word and deed.

"The most important thing when arranging flowers is to know it well..." Zhen Mi said slowly, sometimes as if she just picked up something and inserted it into the vase, and sometimes as if she was carefully measuring the distance between flowers and plants. Fast and sometimes slow, there is a pleasing rhythm, "What flowers and plants should be placed where, and then how to match them... right?" In fact, it’s all the same...』

"Who are you showing this flower to?" Is it for you to see? Or is it for other people to see? And whose opinion is the most important? ” Zhen Mi was still selecting among the flowers and grassland materials, picking up one from time to time for comparison or trimming it slightly, “You have to know this... Is this difficult? In fact, it's not difficult... It's like wearing clothes. Who knows how to wear clothes since they were born? Do they know how to match them? Or does it just get better if you wear too much? If you don’t remember and think about it, you may not be able to wear a piece of clothing well even if you wear it for a lifetime..."

Anyone can put on clothes.

It's not difficult to wear good clothes, as long as you have money. Basically, as long as you have money, you can get any good clothes.

But when it comes to wearing clothes well, it depends on each person's level.

Some people are wearing expensive clothes, but they look like a rag or a sheet, and some people are just wearing plain white, but it looks like some colors are reflected on their bodies.

Being a person is one aspect, and how you dress is also another aspect.

Wang Ying wrung her fingers, "I...I don't really understand these..."

Zhen Mi tilted her head slightly, her eyes moved, she glanced at Wang Ying, and suddenly asked, "Sister Wang, are you...what are you so afraid of others laughing at?" Or do you care about what others say about you? 』

"ah? "Wang Ying raised her head, and then her eyes dropped a little bit, one by one, "It seems... it seems a little bit..."

Zhen Mi sighed softly and sat down next to Wang Ying. After being silent for a while, she slowly said, "My father...my father died young..."

Wang Ying stretched out a hand and held Zhen Mi's hand.

Zhen Mi smiled and gently covered it with her hand, "Back then, there were many people in the family who wanted to covet my family's property... My brother, to put it nicely, was loyal and honest... So, at that time, the family When the people inside bullied them, they were all confused..."

"and after? ” Wang Ying asked softly.

"Later, haha," Zhen Mi smiled, "My mother, my mother found a sorcerer and gave me a lot of money... Then I became famous... so famous that I became famous even among the tribesmen who originally planned to do something. , I don’t dare to take action anymore..."

"I have four older sisters above me, Jiang, Tuo, Dao, and Rong... Why am I a noble person but none of my four older sisters are?" "Zhen Mi said, "It's very simple... because I am the youngest... so I am the most "noble"... What does my mother mean, even if it takes such a long time, the family business will be able to recover... ...But I didn't understand this at the time. Wherever I went, I was always looked at and commented on by others, no matter what I did... You know, when I was eight years old, a juggler came to the yard. , everyone went to see it, and I wanted to go too... But I couldn't go, because I thought I was really what the alchemist said about a noble person... Does a noble person have to look like a noble person? So I can only stand on the high platform, through the railing, secretly, and then take one look, just take one look, and then turn around and go down..."

"I've been telling lies for a long time, and they all turned out to be true..." Zhen Mi said softly, her eyelashes trembling slightly, "At that time, I really thought I was a noble person, haha... I would have taught me a lesson then. Sister...it feels really stupid now that I think about it...until, until one day..."

Zhen Mi's body trembled a little, "They, they treat me like a commodity... Haha, huh... What kind of noble person is there... It's all business, it's all business... I just know that it doesn't matter what others say." What are they? They are all nonsense... Phew..."

Zhen Mi exhaled a long breath.

Wang Ying held Zhen Mi's hand tightly.

"You, you think I know more, but in fact I don't understand this..." After a moment, Zhen Mi turned to look at Wang Ying, "I just know how to do business, and then I will do these things in business. It’s all about this... buyers and sellers, money exchanges, authenticity of items, I turned the things I’m not good at into what I’m good at, isn’t it simple? And you? Think about it, what are you good at? 』

Wang Ying was silent for a long time, and then said tentatively: "I... I am good at... good at woodcutting, can that be counted?" 』

Zhen Mi smiled softly, "Okay, just treat it like a woodcutter. Think about where you want to go, what you want to chop, what difficulties you will encounter, what beasts or bad people you encounter... and then like It's like picking firewood, seizing the most important thing...and then, Katcha! 』

"Well," Wang Ying nodded heavily, "Kacha!" 』
