Chapter 203: Special Love (Part 2)
Liu looked at Shu'er and found a plum and ink jade hairpin stuck in her bun. He smiled and said: "Your hairpin is well made. It seems that the richest man in Chen country can still buy some good things." Then he stretched out his hand to pick it up.
I picked up a red plum and pinned it next to the small jade sword. I nodded and praised: "The red plum and the dark plum look good."
Shu'er touched the hairpin on her head, lowered her head shyly, and said, "I didn't buy this hairpin, but speaking of it, it does have something to do with me. This originally belonged to Empress Xiao, who was the crown prince of Weiguo back then.
An engagement gift for the princess of Qi."
When Liu first saw Shu'er acting shy in front of him, lowering her eyebrows and whispering, it was like a red plum blossoming for the first time, which made him extremely excited.
Shu'er continued: "This was given to me by the Lord of Zhuge Island when I got married. He was the Crown Prince of the Kingdom of Wei back then and is now the Lord of the Kingdom of Wei. I recognized the Lord of Qi as my adoptive father, and I married the Crown Prince of Wei.
His adopted son was getting married, so Lord Zhuge Island gave me this hairpin made of diamond from the Wei Kingdom, and asked me and Conong Rong to complete the old marriage agreement of Qi Wei for him."
Liu looked at the red plums and black plums on Shu'er's bun, and the emotions that had just been rippling were now filled with pain. Qi Wei's old marriage alliance? Why should you, a princess of the Song Dynasty, complete it? Although the black plums are dark, they are
As strong as a diamond, although the red plum blossoms are beautiful, they will fall into mud, leaving only the lingering fragrance...
Sorry, I never thought we would meet again in this life. I am already married and you are also married.
Liu couldn't help asking: "How is that leader of the Restoration Alliance treating you well?"
Seeing Liu's picky and disgusted look, Shu'er smiled and asked, "How are Mei Qiao and Mei Ling treating you well?"
Liu sighed: "They each have their own twisted thoughts, but I can see through those thoughts at a glance, and they are meaningless. Therefore, talking to them is even more boring and boring than talking to those old ministers."
Shu'er consoled her: "The girls' thoughts are always twisted. They are both top ladies in the Song Dynasty. They are high-spirited and inevitably competitive. Since my brother can see through their thoughts, he can
You must know how to be compassionate and cherish the jade.”
Liu raised his eyebrows: "Have you been pretending to be a man for too long? When you see a woman, do you feel pity for her?"
Shu'er chuckled and said, "I'm a little girl wearing a man's skin. I actually have more twists and turns than anyone else about those sweet and jade little thoughts. I try hard to prevent you from seeing through them. Talking to me won't do it."
It will feel boring.”
Liu Dao: "I have learned a lot about your eloquence from the Pingliang Chamber of Commerce."
Shu'er turned his head to admire the plum blossoms, with an arrogant look on his face, and said: "A good man is not brave enough. However, I don't know if that old Zhao King has listened to my suggestion and repaired his dilapidated palace."
When Liu saw that she was more delicate than a flower and her skin was better than snow, it was hard to hide his feelings. Although he knew that there was little hope, he couldn't help but asked tentatively: "Since you have come back, why don't you stay for a while and help me?"
To deal with the private business circles of the Song Dynasty or the money and food of the Ministry of Household Affairs?"
Shu'er turned around and looked at Liu with a smile. Liu saw her big eyes blinking and suddenly felt that her smile was fake. No wonder she said that her thoughts were more twisted than anyone else's. Liu asked
Said: "Why, Boss Yan thinks that our country, Song Dynasty, has shallow water and cannot accommodate greedy big fish?"
Shu'er shook his head and explained: "The Song State is different from the Chen State. The folk commerce of the Chen State is flourishing, but the official business of the Chen State is very small. The largest income of the Chen State only comes from exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes. In recent years, the Chen State has been extremely
He paid attention to military training, so he spent money like water. Chen Wang and Li Chen actually had little money. But the Song Dynasty was different. The Song Dynasty had a lot of official business, and it did not just rely on miscellaneous taxes to support the country. Since His Highness the Song Dynasty is already the richest man in the Song Dynasty, there is no room for two tigers in one mountain.
, as a wealthy businessman of Chen State, it is best not to disturb Song State’s business.”
Liu sighed: "Actually, you can go back or forward. If you take one step back, you are the princess of Qi. If you take a step further, you are the princess of Song. Why do you have to leave the princess of Song on the smooth road and have to go through the thorns to restore the country?
Lu? Although Empress Xiao gave birth to you, Empress Lin raised you and you grew up in the Song Palace. Why don’t you have any feelings for the Song Kingdom?"
Why don't you have any feelings for me?
You know that I am your brother, but last year you put your sword on my neck, so close, why don't you recognize me?
Shu'er turned his head to look at the red plums in the garden, and explained eloquently: "Brother, when I was seven years old, after I left the Song Kingdom, I first went to the Chu Kingdom, and then in order to avoid the disaster of the Seven Kings, I wandered all the way.
We went to Chen State with our three aunts and Lin Ying, the young prince of Prince Sheng's Mansion. The prince of Prince Sheng's Mansion is actually the one you have seen. Su Ying, the master of piano and painting in Chen State. In Chen State, we
I did a lot of business. In the meantime, I went to Xiling of Shu in order to discuss business with Biliang Ningxiang’s workshop. In Xiling, I got to know brothers from ten sects and eight sects, and even became a
I met the lord of Xiling. But I didn’t know at that time that they were actually a group of knights who defended the country. Later, in order to return to the Song Dynasty, I went to the Pingliang Chamber of Commerce organized by King Zhao, thinking that if I could get to know a few wealthy people from the Song Dynasty,
It is unknown if the Shang Dynasty could sneak into the Song Dynasty with them."
Liu listened to Shu'er's experience of traveling to the five countries, and couldn't help but feel the hardships for her and feel proud of her. He said: "So, you met the richest man in Song Dynasty, your brother and me, in Zhao Palace, Pingliang.
You are really a discerning person."
Although Shu'er heard what Liu said was humorous and light-hearted, she couldn't be happy when she thought about her state of mind when she returned to Jade City. She had to smile bitterly and said: "Brother, before I returned to Jade City, I missed the Song Dynasty and Jade City very much every day."
Du, I miss my mother and you in the White Jade Palace. Because it is almost impossible for Chen Guoren to go to Song Dynasty, so the greater the obstacle, the deeper my thoughts. But brother, I really came back in Chun Sheng last year.
, what I saw was full of strangeness. In fact, I don’t know Song Guo at all. I even spent many days with you and Ling Fei, but I didn’t recognize you at all. I suddenly realized that I had missed Song Guo for many years.
, seems to be all fake.”
Liu felt sad when he heard this and gently held Shu'er's hand.
Shu'er continued: "When I miss the State of Chen, I can clearly recall the arty people coming and going on the old city tower in Fanjing, and the appearance of each vendor in the black market. When I miss the State of Chu, I clearly remember
Linjiang Restaurant has gone from a prosperous business to only seven dishes. I remember the orange grove in Prince Yuling Sheng's Mansion, I remember Xianhu, I remember Jintan... When I miss the Kingdom of Shu, I remember the peerless peaks in Xiling, and King Yao
The giant pythons and medicinal springs in the mountains, I remember the Zichuan Yilan Palace... Even if I have only been to Zhao for a few days, I still remember the pastoral scenery there and the disrepair of the Pingliang Zhao Palace. But what about the Song Dynasty? Except for my mother
My brother and I have only one memory of the Song Dynasty: a White Jade Palace that did not welcome me and did not belong to me."
Liu Wangqing took Shu'er into his arms, caressed her head, and said softly: "In your colorful memory, I will be satisfied if you can leave a place for a person like me who has no experience. Shu'er
, Brother, the same thing is said, no matter whose daughter you are, I am your brother, and I will love you and pamper you forever."
Shu'er's cheek rested on Liu's shoulder, and tears suddenly fell down. She choked and said: "Actually, the Empress Dowager asked me for the Sword of Huai Wang that day. I held it with all my strength and refused to give it to anyone, because I was always stubborn.
I thought that since I could not find any information about my biological father after traveling to the five countries, King Huai of Song Dynasty is my father, and you, my brother, are my biological brothers. But...you...after all, you are not...so I have missed you for fourteen years.
