Planting a Tech Tree in Three Kingdoms
Chapter 21
Of course, after enjoying the convenient life, Xun Yu still left.As for Guo Jia...he actually stayed!On the surface, he said that he wanted to stay longer and taste delicious food. Who knows what he thinks?
In fact, after spending a short time with Nan Xing, Xun Yu also believed in this boy who was only two years older than him from the bottom of his heart, and hoped to spend more time together.It's a pity that Xun You wrote a letter saying that the Xun family asked the two of them to return home as soon as possible, so he could only leave with regret.
After promising to keep the secret from Nan Xing, Xun Yu bowed deeply to her, and said with a little deep meaning, "If the Xun family encounters disaster, I hope you will not abandon me." He is the established heir to the head of the family. It represents the Xun family.
Nan Xing shook his head and bowed to him, "If Ruuo Xing's life is in danger, I hope Mr. Xun will save me."
Xun Yu didn't say anything, and seemed to be indifferent to the words.It can also be understood that Nan Xing is Zhang Gui's adopted son, as long as Zhang Gui is not dead, Nan Xing will not have any worries about his life.Even if we took ten thousand steps back, Nanxing was really in great trouble. How could the Xun family, which had lost its former prosperity because of the two party chaos and could not protect itself, save a person who had committed a serious crime?
Nan Xing saw Xun Yu's indifference and didn't explain.How could she say that this person in front of her will become Shang Shuling in the future and be honored as "Xun Lingjun"?
Guo Jia watched the conversation between the two in front of him boredly, feeling a little heavy on his mind.From the present point of view, the Han Dynasty is at its end. If they are lucky, they can still enjoy a peaceful life in their lifetime. If they are unlucky...whether it is a poor family like him or a noble family like Xun Yu, they must make plans early up.
He looked at Nan Xing who was sending Xun Yu off, secretly planning something in his heart.
Before Xun Yu got into the car, he turned his head to look at Guo Jia.The corners of Yin Hong's eyes were shining with an unknown light, Guo Jia smiled cynically, nodded slightly, and looked away without going to see him off.
Nan Xing didn't see the tacit look of the two towards each other. Until many years later, when Nan Xing stood on the court, she didn't know when the counselor who followed her first decided to be loyal.
"Congratulations, Ah Xing, you're going to be an adult." Guo Jia handed the letter to Nan Xing who was reaching for the candy. Nan Xing stuffed him with the maltose in his hand and took the letter.
The letter was sent by Zhang Gui, and the time for her coronation ceremony has been fixed.Cheng Sheng's favor for Zhang Gui, he casually mentioned a few words of Nan Xing's name "born to know" beside the queen mother and emperor, and Nan Xing, his "adopted son", was about to be crowned and entered the court in advance.
"I will invite you to the border. What about Fengxiao?" Nan Xing casually folded the letter, and licked it with a piece of candy.The maltose was made on her whim, but because the raw materials are all food, so even if she has a lot of income from bamboo paper and ironware, she doesn't want to waste it.
Nan Xing asked such a question because she actually wanted Guo Jia to go with her.Guo Jia lived in Zhuangzi for a long time, and Nan Xing also asked the disease doctor around him to check his body. He didn't have any natural diseases and he was in good health.
Is it because of overthinking and overwork?After learning about his physical condition, Nan Xing carefully recalled Cao Jun's situation when Guo Jia was working for Boss Cao. passed away.
But... With such a capable subordinate, who wouldn't want to entrust him with more important tasks?So, she decided to take Guo Jia to the frontier with her.
With sugar in his mouth, Nan Xing looked at Guo Jia who was sorting out this month's summary.The documents in front of me are categorized as "important and urgent", "important but not urgent", "urgent and not important", "not important and not urgent", and the income and expenditure reports are processed quickly and well.Guo Jia sorted out these things even better than Tang Butler, who has been working for nearly ten years. Who would have thought that this boy under the age of 15 only learned the multiplication formula in less than two days?
"Border? Does Ah Xing want to make contributions in the army?" Guo Jia packed up the form at hand, pretending that he didn't understand Nan Xing's invitation, and reached out to Butler Tang to continue asking for the report.With Nan Xing's acquiescence, Tang Butler handed over some non-confidential documents to him for handling.Since he learned the multiplication formula, he is now indulging in the joy of spelling, playing the statistics table like a game. "I thought that your father would arrange for you an official position in the Gyeonggi area."
To be an official, you have to be at the feet of the emperor to have room for advancement. This is the truth that everyone understands.From the rumors and Nan Xing's few words, Guo Jia can probably guess the mutual use relationship between her and her adoptive father.For now, Nan Xing does not have much ability to get rid of Zhang Gui, and her going to the border will not bring any substantial benefits to Zhang Gui, so naturally it will not be easy.
"He will arrange it." Nan Xing swept his eyes away, Tang Butler retreated knowingly, and stopped all the servants outside the study. "So, I don't know what good plan there is for filial piety?"
"Eunuchs value profits but are short-sighted, suspicious and ungrateful, and they are not easy to persuade." Guo Jia threw another candy into his mouth and continued, "Show him weakness, express loyalty, and lower his defenses." , and then lure them with heavy profits, this matter will be accomplished."
"Ming repairs the plank road, and the darkness becomes a warehouse." Nan Xing stared at the teacup in her hand, the green tea was rippling layer by layer, reflecting her face was uncertain.
"It's good that Ah Xing understands."
To express loyalty, it is natural to say that leaving the frontier is for Zhang Gui's sake, and to hand over all the profitable shops that he is currently in charge of in order to gain his trust.As for what to do in secret... Isn't it a lot of time to hire an official to take office?
That night.
Nan Xing leaned against the window, watching the lingling moon shining brightly in the courtyard.She has worked hard to get rid of Zhang Gui for ten years, and now she has the opportunity to leave, but it feels a little unreal.In fact, Zhang Gui didn't care much about her in the past few years, and the relationship between the two of them was no longer as turbulent as it used to be.
But she still has a grudge in her heart, although the two of them will not plan to let each other die now, but that's all.
Nan Xing looked at the moonlight and didn't speak for a long time.After a long silence, she asked Lu Shui to bring Tang Butler over.
"Let's arrange it, and you should also be prepared. I'm afraid we won't see each other for years after this farewell."
Butler Tang bowed deeply to Nan Xing, and then silently withdrew.Nan Xing turned his back to him and didn't see it, he looked at Lu Shui's eyes.
"host……"
When Nanxing was resting at night, Lushui hesitated to speak.To be honest, Nan Xing was a rare good master, he never shorted her food and clothing, and never severely beat or scolded her.
But it may also be because of this that he has become a little greedy.Lu Shui wasn't sure if Nan Xing would be angry if she said such a thing, after all slaves' marriage and childbirth were also under the master's control.
"Just tell me what you have. You have served me for so long, and I won't be angry with you." Nan Xing gently closed his eyes and said lightly. "Can I eat you?"
With a "plop", Lu Shui knelt directly under the bed, "The slave girl knows that she is delusional, and I only ask the Lord to forgive me."
"Slave girl... slave girl wants to stay in Biezhuang."
"Oh?" Nan Xing opened her eyes after hearing this, and looked at the green water above her head in surprise. "It's okay to stay as long as you want. If I go to the border, I can't take you with me. If I can't go...it doesn't make much difference whether I take you or not."
"It's just that I want to know why?" Nan Xing was not angry. In fact, a few years ago, her personal things stopped letting Lu Shui touch her hands.One is that as a woman, she came to Kuishui.It's easy to fool those elders, but Lu Shui is a woman, if you want to hide it from her, you have to stop her from doing laundry, and those clothes during menstruation are burned directly; No matter male or female, they are all picked by Steward Tang from the children he cultivated, and they will be changed every few months. In the end, these children who have been with Nan Xing will go to various departments and intelligence networks to serve as the eyes and ears of Nan Xing.
Therefore, she was not angry when she heard Lu Shui's request to leave her side.Nan Xing thanked Lu Shui for his dedication in the past few years, but he didn't feel betrayed by the latter.
She calmly waited for Lu Shui's answer, but Lu Shui kowtowed directly.When she pulled Lu Shui up, Lu Shui's forehead was already swollen.
"What are you doing?"
"A slave girl is a big crime... A slave girl doesn't want to climb up to Steward Tang, she just wants to work in another village. It's good to see her in a few days..." Lu Shui ignored her forehead, reached out to grab Nan Xing's clothes, and said firmly look at her.
"You... Xinyue Tang Shuo?" Nan Xing was a little unbelievable. Tang Shuo was Tang Butler's name. That man was nothing but a gourd, with a sad face all day long, but there was still a woman who liked him?
"Yes... This is the slave girl's own wish. It has nothing to do with Steward Tang. I hope the master will not take his anger out on him." Whether it is a steward or a slave, the contract of prostitution is in the hands of the master, and they cannot fall in love and marry freely.The combination of the two requires the order of the master, and even the birth of a child requires the consent of the master.Therefore, Lu Shui admired Butler Tang in private, which was almost a capital offense in the official's house.Even the government won't care about killing her.
Nan Xing took his clothes out of Lu Shui's hands, walked up and down the room, frowning tightly, and didn't speak for a long time.Seeing that Nan Xing didn't express his opinion, Lu Shui couldn't stop beating his heart, so he could only kneel on the ground and kowtow continuously.
"Shut up." Nan Xing was very irritated by the kowtowing, and he couldn't help but sternly said.As expected, Lu Shui no longer kowtowed.
"I'll decide on this matter in a few days, you step back first!" Nan Xing finally finished struggling, and then said to Lu Shui.
On the second day, Nan Xing set off to meet Zhang Gui to prepare for his coronation ceremony.
In fact, after spending a short time with Nan Xing, Xun Yu also believed in this boy who was only two years older than him from the bottom of his heart, and hoped to spend more time together.It's a pity that Xun You wrote a letter saying that the Xun family asked the two of them to return home as soon as possible, so he could only leave with regret.
