atypical prostitute

Chapter 172

Li Ci was playing a sand table deduction game with Ye Chuan when someone from the Liu Manor came to ask for an interview.

……

……

As one of the skills that generals must master, sand table deduction has developed quite maturely in the Xie dynasty. The mountains in the large sand table with a square meter of one foot are undulating, and even the curved part of the river is done vividly. However, Li Ci is not interested in sand table deduction. Because of the sand table itself.

The usual sand table simulation tutorial for enterprise management in the previous life is an extension of the military sand table.

Ye Chuan is not a conservative person. After Li Ci explained the core content of the sand table simulation tutorial to him in detail, he made inferences. However, in a few days, the military craftsmen transformed the new sand table with the world as the pattern. .

Treat all wealthy and powerful families that may have an impact on the political situation as enterprise groups, take the political changes in China in the past 20 years, the success or failure of major families, and the ups and downs of each other as simulation objects to examine the overall situation, so as to understand the true meaning of decision-making, and analyze Reasons for success and failure, sort out strategic gains and losses, and find your own shortcomings.

It just so happened that Ye Chuan had more than ten days of New Year's vacation, so the two simply hid in the inner garden and played sand table deduction games, and both felt that they had benefited a lot.

Just after the first round was over, the two were exhausted and could not hide their excitement. Suddenly, the mother came to report that someone from the Liu family had come.

Li Ci knew why she came, but said calmly: Let her in. "

The fact that Lu Mochou took her slaves to Duan Qinger to find trouble and was ridiculed by the knife had already spread to Lici's ears. Since she first met at the Peony Flower Banquet three years ago, she has always been instinctive towards Lu Mochou. If she didn't like it, now that Lu Mochou was making a fool of herself, it was impossible for her to sympathize.

Ye Chuan looked at the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and knew that she must be thinking of something happy, and his heart was also warm, but with a serious attitude on his face, he said: "Madam's sand table deduction after improvement is really extraordinary, it is actually stripping Appearances point directly to the essence, which coincides with the warring states' tactics."

Li Ci said seriously: "I have lost too many tricks to King Liang, so I can only work hard on these foreign things."

"King Liang... is indeed a difficult existence."

While pondering, Ye Chuan's expression became gloomy. So far, no one has found the bottom line of King Liang, and the cards are thrown out one by one, and they always sink into the sea without making a sound.Even insidious tricks such as abortion can't force King Liang's anger out. One can imagine how deep his city is.

The more unfathomable King Liang is, the more scruples Xiao Zhiqian will have towards him, and the less attention he will give to Li Ci.

But this delicate balance cannot be maintained for a long time. Xiao Zhiqian is the one who controls the world. One day he will tear off the mask of harmony between his uncle and nephew and act recklessly. At that time, no one can help him.

Therefore, Li Ci must strengthen himself before the storm comes, and reveal the true strength of the opponent through clues.

At this time, the Liu family's envoy had already arrived at Nanyuan.

Li Ci then walked around the screen with Ye Chuan to meet the people from the Liu residence.

……

……

The person who came was a nanny who used to be a servant in the palace. In her forty years, her gray hair was combed meticulously. Although there were many wrinkles on her face, she did not show any sign of decay. She was wearing a dark flowered jacket and her body was as tall and straight as a green pine. Obviously a strong character.

Sure enough, when she entered and saw that Shaohou was also there, the nanny showed no surprise, and after saluting respectfully, she said straight to the point: "Shaohou, Mrs. Shaohou, this old slave came here today at the order of my old lady, for the sake of two Lord."

"Second master...cousin...what happened?"

Li Ci said exaggeratedly, how shrewd is that nanny, she immediately saw that her expression was contrived to be gloating, but she was a servant, and there was no difference in dignity, so she had to respectfully say: "The second master and the second mistress got together because of trivial matters in the evening. After the dispute, she left home in a fit of anger. The old lady knew that the second master and the young master were close friends, so she specially sent the old slave to the door, hoping that the young master would send a message for him when he saw the second master: all matters in the family can be discussed , don't be impulsive."

All affairs in the family can be discussed, don't be emotional.

In other words, it was Qing'er's entry, and the old lady was willing to step back.

Li Ci knew the weight of these words, so he took a special look at Ye Chuan, and saw that he nodded slightly, so he nodded.That nanny is also quite knowledgeable, knowing that Shaohou and his wife don't like Mrs. Wei Guogong and Second Mistress very much, now that the words have been brought, it's time to say goodbye.

So Nanny La took her down to receive the reward, just as she walked out of Nanyuan, Li Ci turned to the screen and said, "My cousin heard what Madam Cai just said, how do you plan to discuss it?"

"Mother would actually give in? It's because I'm afraid that if I persist in divorcing my wife, I'll insult the Lu family and make a death feud for nothing."

Liu Erlang snorted, and walked out from behind the bead curtain, the woman in red was Duan Qing'er who followed closely beside her.

It turned out that Liu Erlang knew that Lu Mochou would make him say bad things, and he didn't dare to do anything to Duan Qing'er in the short term, but his old lady's methods as a son are still very clear, and immediately after leaving Liu's house, he took Duan Qing'er with his personal guards. Qing'er and Xiaoqi picked it up and came to Ye Mansion together.

Unlike Liu Erlang's carelessness, Duan Qing'er's face is always full of happiness and sorrow.

Happiness, because Liu Erlang's feelings for her are indeed sincere; worry, because he is worried that he will delay Liu Erlang's future.

She is from a cheap family, no matter what the story is behind it, the time in Pingkang cannot be erased.

Marrying a lowly woman as a concubine will make Liu Erlang lose his head in front of his colleagues.

Duan Qing'er's worries were seen by Li Ci, and she couldn't help but sighed: "Although the Lu family is far behind, it is a famous family after all. Cousin, if you insist on going your own way and insist on breaking up with her, I'm afraid--"

"I earned my fame in the army. If I can't be the servant of the Huangmen, I'll just go back to the border! Is it possible that the Lu family can still prevent me from making meritorious service!"

As Liu Erlang said it nonchalantly, Duan Qing'er felt her heart warm when she heard it, her eyes were slightly red, and she said: "Qing'er is lowly, Erlang is not worth it for me to pay for my bright future. Besides, the nanny also said it, the old lady has already let go , willing to accept me, Erlang...why not let it go...after all..."

"I don't want you to be wronged."

Liu Erlang said categorically that the Liu family's so-called retreat was nothing more than allowing Duan Qing'er to become a concubine, but a concubine with a low status is a lowly concubine, and her status is only slightly higher than that of a maid. .

"But... being a concubine is the best result I can get. Xiaoqi... being adopted by the Liu family, and becoming a family slave in the future is much better than wandering outside."

"Who said Xiao Qi was made a servant of the family? Xiao Qi is my adopted son, the young master Qi of the Liu family!"

Liu Erlang spoke seriously, but Li Ci was taken aback.

The Gou family is just a shabby householder, even if Xiaoqi is recognized, what kind of good nurturing can a child born to a woman who is not even considered a concubine?The name of a young master is used, but the genealogy cannot even be uploaded, and it is still unknown whether he can read and write.However, the family of military generals pays the most attention to the accumulation of talents. Most of the adopted sons will be sent to the army for training, and the worst in the future will be the status of an officer.

Duan Qing'er was so excited that she almost shed tears.It doesn't matter if he treats him like this, even if he is not the person he remembers most deeply.

With a body of duckweed and a life as thin as paper, I am already satisfied to have a hug to shelter me from the wind and rain, so I dare not expect to be single-minded.

Sui said: "Erlang don't talk about it, accepting Xiaoqi as a foster son... such a big event... is too grand, Qinger's fate is poor, I'm afraid I can't bear it."

Hearing Ying's warm words, Liu Erlang's heart was inexplicably excited, he was about to hold Duan Qing'er's soft and boneless little hand, but he heard Li Ci's soft coughing, he couldn't help being embarrassed, and raised his head embarrassingly.

Li Ci knew that they finally connected with each other after many trials and tribulations. It was because of their deep affection, and the coughing sound was not to spoil the scenery. She took a step forward, held Duan Qing'er's hands, and comforted her: "Qing'er don't need to underestimate, you have now got Yes, it's all what you deserve. I know you love your cousin and don't care about your status, but no matter what, it's not good if you don't get the recognition from the Liu family. "

"If the name is not correct, the words will not go well. Although the name is a false title, many things in the world need this false title."

Ye Chuan helped out, with a bitter face, he actually felt the same feeling for a moment, nostalgic for his grandmother.

Li Ci quickly changed the subject and said, "I know that my cousin got really angry this time, but since Lu Mochou didn't get anything good, and she took the initiative to show weakness and hope to reconcile, why should my cousin be bothered? There is a saying that an enemy should be resolved rather than resolved." In conclusion, although the Lu family is in decline, they are still worried about everyone, offending them for no reason is not good for the Liu family or the Fu family."

She spoke peacefully, breaking apart the interests of each other, in order to convince Liu Erlang.

Liu Erlang is not a radical person either, he has branded harsh words in front of Lu Mochou, but he still remembers why the Liu family and the Lu family formed such a marriage.Among the upper-class nobles, it is through these marriages that they are connected in a line, forming an alliance, and maintaining it.

The Liu family has been operating in the Northwest for many years, and has long been regarded as a confidant's trouble by His Majesty who intends to weaken the local power. If he rashly breaks up with the Lu family at this moment, there is no guarantee that the saint will not take the opportunity to revolt!

After thinking this through, Liu Erlang sighed, and said: "What my cousin said is absolutely true, I was the one who went too far."

"It's not extreme, it's chaos if you care about it."

Li Ci said slowly: "It's hard for you to stay rational when Qing'er is involved. Why don't you leave this matter to me for the time being and let me figure out what the old lady's plan is before I make any fuss about it."

"it is good."

Liu Erlang said bluntly that it was related to Duan Qing'er, so it was inevitable that he would be irritable. If he had been in contact with Lu Mochou, there might have been an argument before he got to the point, and when he was negotiating with his mother, because it involved filial piety, he couldn't speak freely.

Now that the matter is handed over to Li Ci to take full responsibility, he immediately felt relieved, but he was relieved, and felt a little regret, maybe Lu Mochou was right, he was kind to Duan Qing'er because he begged Fourth Lady.

In order to divert attention, Liu Erlang turned his face and saw the deduction sand table in the middle. He was born in the army, so he could tell at a glance that this was a sand table, but it was quite different from the sand table he was familiar with in the past, so he asked, "What is this?"

"Sand table simulation, a game that Li Ci came up with. It can show the changes of various forces in the court in the past 20 years. Each color of villain represents a force, and blue is..."

Ye Chuan explained with great interest. Liu Erlang originally asked about the details of the sand table deduction in order to divert attention, but after listening to Ye Chuan's explanation, he gradually realized the fun of it, and couldn't help but become serious. A new game has started.

Li Ci watched from the sidelines, and suddenly found that Duan Qinger didn't know anything about the sand table deduction, but she was able to wait aside with a smile, without resentment for being forgotten, and couldn't help smiling: He and she really are a match made in heaven.
