house slave heavy five

The king of Wei sent someone here.

Come to pick up the third young master Shen Yunxi.

Shen Yunxi wanted to go alone.

Chongwu asked him: "Does the third young master want to come back in three to five years or in three to five days?"

He replied: "If it is three to five years, I will already be in duckweed, so why come back."

"Then I implore you to bring the heavy five, it may be useful."

Shen Yunxi finally took the heavy five.

Master Shen didn't show up.Not showing up meant that he couldn't refuse.

The person who picked them up was a steward of Wei Wangfu, surnamed Zhan.King Wei did not appear.

It wasn't Wei Wang's mansion they went to, but "Tingxue Courtyard".

It was a garden.

For several days, King Wei did not appear.

When he appeared, Chong Wu felt as if he was being targeted by a poisonous snake.

"You, that servant?" He didn't have a crown, but simply fixed the hair behind his ears with a black hairpin, highlighting the outline of his face.The graceful demeanor and strong sense of presence that spread to the fingertips are well matched with his three-dimensional facial features, making his brows look masculine.

Chong Wu stared at him blankly.

"Huh?" He turned his head to look at Zhong Wu.

"Damn it, servant!" Chong Wu hurriedly knelt on the ground, terrified.

Before he knew anything about this man, any attention he paid to himself would only lead to disaster for him.

"Take good care of your young master." He put down the teacup in his hand, left behind these words and left.

Chong Wu once thought that there were only two kinds of people in this world, one could see through at a glance, and the other could not see through at all, but he was neither of them.

He put the third young master into another garden, but he didn't show up for several days.When he appeared, he left again without even seeing the third young master.

Chong Wu could feel that he had a little doubt about himself, and he didn't even pursue his recklessness. Maybe he didn't care, maybe he was busy, or maybe... who knows?

The third young master reads books all day long.Chongwu had nothing to do, just wandered around.

The first thing he went to was his favorite kitchen, but it was obvious that the back kitchen of an official house was usually an important place for management, and ordinary people were not allowed to enter it casually.He, an outsider, can't even go in.

Then he strolled to the gate and talked to the two door gods on the left and right, but of course they ignored him.

He had no choice but to come back in despair, planning to go to the garden to learn gardening from Old Zhaotou.

Originally, Old Zhao didn't pay attention to him, but he couldn't help but he kept talking behind him, and by the way, he trampled a lot of flowers, so he had to remind him more, and he chatted after coming and going.

When he passed by, Old Zhao was potting peonies one by one.

"Zhao Tou, didn't you say that these are rare varieties, so don't transplant them easily?"

"Recently, there are often banquets in the palace, and the potted flowers are not enough, so we need to move over here. Stop talking nonsense, and come here to help."

"Hey, okay." Chong Wu was always helpful.

After working for a long time, he loaded the pots of flowers into the car. Old Zhao didn't dare to delay, so he pulled up the car and went to the palace.

Chong Wu went back to wash his hands, changed his clothes, and then went to the gate and said to the two door gods: "My young master asked me to buy some snacks."

The door god waved his hand and let him go out.

He followed Old Zhaotou from a distance to the street where Wei Wangfu was located.

Sure enough, there was a lot of traffic in front of Wei Wang's mansion, some came in sedan chairs, and some came in horse-drawn carriages.

But rarely come on horseback.

Most of the sedan chairs are small green woolen sedan chairs, and the people who want to sit in the sedan chairs should be low-level civil servants.The carriages that come and go are more common, and the decorations on them are also very simple, without any obvious family name signs hanging. They are not young people from the noble family, but should be ordinary young masters of officials or offshoots of nobles.

Chong Wu looked at it for a long time before walking back slowly.

Several days passed.

A voice of greeting came from the door.

That person is here.

Chong Wu hurriedly went to make tea.

"My lord, please have some tea." Chongwu served the tea, exited the hall, and waited at the door.

Wei Wang picked up the teacup, opened the lid, looked at the full cup of tea leaves and a shallow layer of tea soup, and said without expression: "Go down, call Chongwu in."

Chong Wu entered the hall, bowed his head and knelt down, and the guards exited the second door.

"Go ahead."

"I implore the prince to assist the prince to go to Xiyue."

"How did you know about the matter of Xiyue?" King Wei seemed surprised that a servant knew a lot.

"Recently, the fast horses at the post station have been coming and going frequently. Beidi has been pacified by the prince, Dongling is weak, and the chaos in the south is too busy to take care of. The report must be that there are changes in the West."

"Assist the prince?"

"There is no general in the court, and the prince cannot win the battle against West Vietnam, but the emperor will never allow the prince to take the lead in pacifying West Vietnam. If the crown prince is in command and the prince is the deputy commander, then the battle will be successful."

"Why the prince?"

"The prince is incompetent, the mother's wife's family is not obvious, and the emperor has long intended to abolish the prince. If the prince invites him, the prince will definitely invite him to fight for military merit. The second prince is cruel and cunning. The birth mother, the imperial concubine, belongs to the Ji family. As the prince, he will definitely be allowed to stay in the capital. The rest of the princes are nothing to worry about."

"You know that it is a capital offense to presume the holy will!"

"The servant knows, and the servant knows even more, the prince is now in a dangerous situation with a sharp sword in his throat."

"Oh?" He casually stroked the jasper finger wrench in his hand, and squinted at him, as if he was telling a joke.

"There is a banquet in the palace, and there are no generals, ministers, or royal relatives among the guests."

"So what?" He began to be interested in this little minion.

"My lord has been stationed in the north for many years, and I just returned home in triumph after pacifying Beidi three months ago. The trees are beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy them. My lord's military achievements are too great, like standing on the top of a mountain, or like a pile of eggs. Therefore, my lord held a banquet and did not invite generals. First of all, the concubine Yuxian is the princess of Xiyue, and her mother has no support. The prince has been in the border for many years, and there is no one in the court. Therefore, there are no powerful officials to attend the banquet. The second is that the blood of Xiyue has no possibility of succession , Therefore, there is no royal family to attend the banquet. This is the third. The combination of the three, the prince has no possibility of succeeding to the throne, and he has made great achievements, and has no one to rely on, so he is undoubtedly in danger."

"You are a sharp-eyed slave." Wei Wang said this with a smile, but he had no doubt that this cruel prince would kill him in the next second, but Chong Wu had to continue talking.

"If the prince invites the war and goes to Xiyue, he can enjoy at most two years of life. Xiyue Wang Kuotu once killed his half-brother, which is your own uncle, in order to succeed to the throne. Based on this, the emperor may agree with you The request, but will definitely send the deputy commander and the supervising army to follow. The prince has been sealed and there is no reward, and the military exploits are too great, endangering his life. At that time, the West Vietnamese army will retreat, and the prince will definitely lose his life."

"If the prince still throws banquets and has fun and doesn't participate in the affairs of Xiyue, he can enjoy five years of life at most. If he fights, he will lose. If the southern border and Dongling join forces to take advantage of the fire, our Dongqi country will be in danger of being destroyed. And, then Kuotu will definitely ask the prince to be a hostage, at that time, people will be the sword and I will be the fish, for a maximum of five years, Kuotu will kill the prince."

"If the prince asks for a battle, he will be in command, and the prince will be the deputy commander. The prince will be able to succeed to the throne because of his military achievements, and the prince will enjoy ten years of peace of mind from the merits of the dragon. Ten years later, the prince's throne will be stabilized, and the prince will also die. Worrying."

"So, this king will definitely die?" King Wei didn't worry about his own life, he just wanted to see what else the little servant could say.

"The lord of Dongqi regarded himself as the descendant of the lord of Shengyuan, and was able to establish the country. The most sage and lord of Shengyuan was Emperor Zhengde, and his biological mother was the princess of the Beihu royal family. The Beihu at that time was like Xiyue today, and Emperor Zhengde could If he succeeds to the throne, the prince will naturally be able to."

"At that time, Beihu had been merged into the Shengyuan Kingdom." This period of history is little known, but the little servant also knows it?

"Two years after the merger, Emperor Zhengde succeeded to the throne. Beihu back then was like Xiyue today. If Xiyue was also incorporated into our Dongqi Kingdom, the people of Xiyue would also be our citizens of Dongqi Kingdom, with foreign blood The theory is naturally self-defeating."

"Aren't you from the prince?" He was almost certain of this.

"No."

"What do you want?" If you risk your life to speak, you must have something in mind.

"The eldest young master of the Shen family saved my life, I can't repay him, I just want to protect the third young master of the Shen family as much as I can."

The little servant's request was quite beyond his expectation.Apart from being good-looking, Shen Yunxi is useless, so sending him back will not be a problem.only……

Seeing that he was silent, Chong Wu hurriedly kowtowed to the ground, making a loud bang.

The little slave was not proud of speaking out, and still knew clearly that he was begging for help.What an interesting minion.So, he thought for a while and said, "The day after tomorrow, someone will send him back."

"Thank you, my lord." The fate of myself and the third young master was saved.

So far, he has never seen Third Young Master Shen again, because the prince returned to the palace at that time and took him with him.

The maids let down his hair coiled in the turban, and put on a small jasper hair crown.He changed into a crescent-white robe and a light green gauze over it.There is also a ring around his waist, which jingles when he moves.

When he was wearing linen clothes, he felt a bit cold, but now that he was wearing silk, he began to miss his linen clothes again.At least when wearing linen clothes, I feel free and at ease in my heart.

Sure enough, he began to miss the time in Shen Mansion again.Chong Wu hurriedly shook his head, trying to get rid of these thoughts.

"My lord, please don't move, the hair crown has not been tightened yet." The servant girl hurriedly reminded.

"It must be because your hands are too heavy, and you are strangling him, let me come." Wei Wang came in at some point, and took the hair crown from the servant girl's hand.

This person who can crush him to death is helping him to tie the crown!

Chong Wu felt that he should panic, but the truth was that he was very calm, and he didn't even bother to show panic.

"Okay." King Wei looked at his work with satisfaction.She even rubbed his cheek casually, "Have you put on powder?"

"Going back to the lord, I didn't put any powder on, but just washed my face with soap locust." The servant girl replied hastily.

"So that's how it is." King Wei said meaningfully.

Chong Wu's skin color is fairer. In order to conform to his status as a slave, he bought a box of dark contouring powder from a hawker and blended turmeric powder and lard. He used it to wipe his face and hands every day. What he presented to everyone was a sallow The image of a slave.

Obviously, there was nothing to hide in front of the maid and Zaojiao.

"It seems that the king has found a treasure." After speaking, he naturally took the other hand and walked out.

"May I ask where the lord is taking the slaves?" Chong Wu asked.

"You are no longer a slave, you are my new guest 'Master Yumian'." The prince seemed to be in a very good mood, and he walked with a high-spirited look.

"Yes, my lord. Dare I ask where you want to take Yumian?" Although the name is quite frivolous, he has no right to refuse.So far, Chongwu has become Yumian.

"Go to the banquet."

It was an old man's birthday banquet.

The old man is a great historian. Although he has resigned from office, he used to be the prince and tutor. Therefore, his birthday banquet was quite large, and there were many visitors, most of whom were literati.

During the banquet, the king of Wei took good care of him and behaved intimately, but he has always had a lot of power, and no one dared to accuse him of making things difficult.

It wasn't until a few days later that Yumian felt the impact of this banquet.

First of all, Master Shen came.

As soon as he saw him, he bowed deeply and said, "Shen Shiqing thanked Mr. Yumian for saving my son's life."

He hurried up to help him up, "Master Shen is too serious."

"If Mr. Yumian hadn't replaced him with his body, the one who would be scolded now would be my son Shen Yunxi. He has a strong temper and is easy to break. If he is insulted like this, he will die to prove his innocence." He sighed, shook his head and said: " I have punished him many times to kneel in the ancestral hall to reflect on himself, but it was useless. This time, the son was rescued, and the entire Shen family is very grateful."

"Master Shen, you don't have to be polite, Eldest Young Master Shen also saved my life. The Shen family has always done good deeds, this is your blessing, not Yumian's work."

"Young Master Yumian is righteous! But the kindness of saving your life is no small matter. If you are in trouble, the Shen family will definitely sacrifice their lives to repay you."

"I admire the majesty and decisiveness of the prince. I voluntarily stay in the palace. There is nothing wrong with the basic necessities of life. Master Shen is too worried."

"That's good! That's good! Just ignore the rumors outside."

"I've never been afraid of rumors, you know that." Yu Mian was referring to an interesting incident when he first arrived in Shen's residence.

He was brought back by Eldest Young Master Shen in a coma, and he has been recuperating in the backyard since he first entered Shen's residence.Everyone only knew that the Eldest Young Master took a person into the backyard, and then mysteriously did not come out.The servants began to talk about it, and some people swore that they saw a peerless beauty lying sickly on the bed.Some people also said that although what he saw was also a beauty, it should be a handsome man.Just like that, after all the chatter, everyone guessed that this man and woman is probably a fox demon.The more everyone guessed, the more bizarre it became, and rumors began to spread in the mansion.

At this time, the young master had already left, and no one could explain his identity.After he woke up, he didn't explain anything, and moved directly to Datongpu.He also regards himself as a slave, and does not refuse any dirty work.Over time, the rumors dissipated.

"Young Master Yumian has a calm mind. If Yunxi can pick up one or two, he will be able to benefit from it forever." Master Shen said with emotion.

"How is the third young master?"

"Still studying, but I have already arranged a marriage for him, and he will be married by the end of the year. I also hope that he will be able to take care of himself after he gets married."

"The third young master will definitely live up to Master Shen's expectations."

"Young Master Cheng said auspicious words!" Master Shen said and took out a wooden box, "Please don't refuse, Young Master."

"Okay, I'll accept it, thank you Master Shen." Yu Mian accepted the wooden box.

"If there is anything that can be used by Shen's residence, I hope you can tell me directly."

"it is good."

"Then I'll take my leave."

"You walk slowly."

Not long after Master Shen left, King Wei came.

"This is the wooden box brought by Mr. Shen. It has not been opened yet. Please take a look at it." Yu Mian put the wooden box in front of King Wei.

"Open it up and take a look."

"Yes."

Inside are several hundred taels of silver notes, a document and a jade pendant with blessings and longevity patterns.

According to the document, Shen Shiqing and Master Shen have regarded Chong Wu as his adopted son and named him Shen Yumian. He has entered the official documents and entered the genealogy, and uses the jade pendant with the blessing and longevity pattern as a token.

"Master Shen is a man of great affection." King Wei said after reading the document.

"Dare to ask the prince, what are the rumors outside?" Yu Mian asked him.

"Do you care?"

"Of course Yu Mian doesn't care. It's just that Yu Mian wants to know that if the rumors are unbearable, Master Shen will take me in as his adopted son at this time, and he may lose the reputation of the Shen family."

"So, this king said that Master Shen is a person who values ​​affection." The prince replied.

It seems that the rumors must be unbearable.

"Put these away." King Wei acknowledged his identity as Shen Yumian.

"Thank you, Lord."

"Don't blame me for ruining your reputation?"

"Only by the prince's side can he gain fame. Without the prince, Yu Mian is just a mere slave."

"You are a transparent person. The king also told you that this is because the emperor wants to marry the southern border, but this king does not want to be a door-to-door son-in-law."

"My lord is wise."

"Sleeve-cutting is taboo in the southern border. At first, this king only planned to use Shen Yunxi to win the name of "sleeve-cutting."

"The prince is wise, it is indeed better. In the name of lewdness, you cannot refuse to marry a regular wife, but in the name of affection, you can refuse to marry a wife."

"You just understand."

What King Wei meant was that he may be needed to cooperate with acting in the future, but he must be careful not to fake a fake show for real.

On this point, he thinks the prince is too worried, even if he has not met the person he likes, he will not like a man, let alone this man is a cold prince who treats slaves as worthless.

"Dare to ask my lord, why me?" This is where he was very puzzled.

"Because of your mysterious background, even this lord can't find out your details, and naturally others can't find out; it's also because you are smart and transparent, and you can cooperate with this lord without making people bored; of course, it's also because you are good-looking enough. "As he spoke, he leaned closer and whispered in his ear: "Actors also need to find someone who can talk, don't you think so?"

"My lord is wise." Besides this, what else could he say.

"Just now the crown prince sent someone to send a letter. The letter said that he will write a letter requesting to go to Xiyue. If the king is willing to be the deputy commander and help him, there will be great achievements in the future."

"Did you say anything to the prince's ex-teacher?"

"This king just mentioned to him that he doesn't want to marry a wife."

The crown prince never wanted to see the king of Wei on the side of the second prince, and it was the safest way to let him lead the army.If the emperor doesn't let the King of Wei take command, then he will take the command. As long as the King of Wei agrees to help, it means that he is on his side, and the military merits are also his own.The prince's idea is very good, and it is in line with King Wei's expectations.

It was just sent with the letter, and there was also a retainer from the prince's house.His name was Zhao Henian, he was handsome in appearance, good at calligraphy, painting and poetry, and because he admired the decisive majesty of King Wei, he came here to serve in the mansion.

"You admire my majesty and decisiveness, and he admires my decisiveness and majesty. Tell me, which of you is sincere?" King Wei asked him with a smile.

"Of course I am sincere. He heard rumors, but I saw the real person. You have only met me twice, and you dare to summon me to question me because of a cup of full-leaf tea, which shows that the prince is wise, brave, and broad-minded. . ” When necessary, he still wants to flatter, of course, this is also what he has in mind.

"This king is a master of martial arts, and he is used to summoning strangers alone."

"But if it were any other prince, he wouldn't dare to do this."

"You are very good at talking." Wei Wang looked at him, paused, and said, "Well, I will stay with you tonight."

"Yes." Yumian remained calm as usual.

When Zhao Henian arrived at the mansion, it was normal for him to see the prince staying with him.

The prince didn't see his shocked expression, he shook his head in disappointment or admiration, and went to the study.

In the evening, the prince really stayed in the "Wenxin Courtyard" where he lived, but the prince slept on the bed, and he could only sleep on the footsteps in front of the bed.

He has never had too many requirements for food, clothing, housing and transportation, and his only hobby is to have a good night's sleep.

This damn Zhao Henian!

When he went to court the next day, the prince really asked for a battle, and the emperor agreed.It's just that the emperor, on the grounds that the prince's personal conquest is of great importance and seeking security, sent the veteran Yuan Yu as the deputy commander, and the king of Wei as the forward, obeying the command.

After the king of Wei came back, several beneficiary generals entered the palace to discuss together.

"My lord, it's dangerous to go here, please let Wang Tong follow." Wang Tong is the tallest and the loudest.

"This expedition is the standing army led by Yuan Wei, how can you go with the prince as a frontier general?" Li Zimu said with a sad face.

"Then I'll be the prince's personal soldier. No matter what, I will stay by the prince's side this time." Wang Tong anxiously poked Lai Yuan next to him, "Laitou, tell me!"

"How can a general be dispatched as a soldier!" Lai Yuan was in his 40s, with a calm face, dressed like a scholar, and his words were elegant. "My lord, this trip is full of dangers. Although your lord is a vanguard, you must also consider us. You must not enter the enemy's line lightly." Wei Wang always likes to take the lead and rush into the enemy's line.Now the rate is less than 2000 people, and it is dangerous to enter the enemy's line again.

Everyone fell silent, looking at King Wei who had not spoken.

"Go and call Yumian," Wei Wang said.

When Yu Mian arrived, she asked, "Is the lord confident that he will get out every time?"

"Among thousands of troops, there is no certainty."

"My lord, please take care of yourself." When the lord is here, only those who follow will have the possibility to make contributions, and only then can he realize his wish.

"Ah."

"Beidi has been pacified, and there is no worry in the north for the time being. There are 15 frontier troops, [-] left behind, and the remaining [-] elite soldiers are incorporated into the vanguard led by the prince."

"Yuan Wei will not agree." Li Zimu said.

"Yuan Wei's second son will marry Ji's family. The [-] elite soldiers will go to war, and the second will protect the prince's safety. The prince will agree. The prince agrees, and the emperor will agree under the pressure of the officials."

"My lord, I will visit Teacher Xia at night." Lai Yuan said.

Lai Yuan's teacher was good friends with the former prince Taifu.

"Okay." This is agreed.

"Yumian resigns." He didn't understand the formation of troops, and in order to avoid suspicion, it was best not to listen.What's more, the eyes of those people looking at him were really weird. First they were contemptuous, then surprised, and finally regretful. They just shook their heads and sighed, so let's go quickly.

"Laitou, when the time comes, you stay in the north, Li Zimu and I will go, and they will be beaten to the brim, hahahaha!" The impatient Wang Tong felt that such an arrangement was very enjoyable.

"My lord, the marriage is known to everyone, but the intended but unconcluded marriage contract is rarely known. How did Mr. Yumian know about the affairs of Yuan Yu's mansion?" Lai Yuan wondered.

"Even he himself, I know very little." Wei Wang didn't care.

"Do you want to interrogate?" Lai Yuan was a little worried.

"No, he didn't mean me badly." He could feel it.

Although King Wei was sure that Yu Mian had no malice towards him, he was also curious about how Yu Mian knew about Yuan Yu's house.

"I guessed it." Yumian said.

"Guess?" Wei Wang was very curious about what kind of moth this little slave was going to make.

"Actually, I only know that Yuan Wei has two sons from the first line. The eldest son is married and the second son is unmarried. That's all. No matter what the facts are, as long as the crown prince is suspicious, things can be done."

"Yumian is good at tricks, I believe all the lies." Wei Wang smiled.

Yu Mian hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed: "My lord, calm down. Yu Mian has never lied to my lord. It's just that it takes time to dispatch troops. Yu Mian can only tell the future possibility as a lie in advance. The second son is engaged to the Ji family, so what Yu Mian said is true. If the two are not engaged, Yu Mian is willing to be punished."

If the emperor wants to establish the second prince, Yuan Yu must stand by the second prince's side. Marriage is the most convenient and quick way.

Fortunately, he was right.

When he went out to fight, the prince said: "Unfortunately, I didn't see what you looked like when you were punished."

"Thank you, my lord, for your kindness." He can treat himself whatever he wants, no need to make excuses, but he didn't do that, Yu Mian sincerely thanked him.

"Are you sure you don't want to take the car?"

"Yumian can ride a horse."

"Okay, let's follow." After speaking, he ran away with a whip.

Yu Mian hurriedly followed.
