Chapter 54 Spring Red Peony
Li Ji was good at physiognomy, and judging people's appearance was his forte.
He looked at Chunhong's watery eyes and suddenly thought of three words from physiognomy.
Eyes like Chunhong's are called "peach blossom eyes" in physiognomy books.
Girls with this kind of eyes are charming, seductive and affectionate.
His eyes contain the most beautiful mountains and rivers in the world, and his heart is as pure as ice and as clear as a jade pot.
Li Ji discovered that Chunhong always had a smile in her eyes and her cheeks were flushed, as if she had endless poetic and picturesque feelings.
Moreover, as her eyes moved, a kind of soul-stirring charm was naturally revealed.
In Li Ji's eyes, Chunhong is the most beautiful girl.
Most men, if they lack self-control, would be so distracted and fainted in less than a quarter of an hour when they see a girl with peach blossom eyes like Chunhong .
Li Ji had already experienced the most magnificent mountains and ridges in the world, and he had already taken a Hercules pill rewarded by the system in Dahai Temple.
First, maintain your physical strength and always stay energetic.
In a turbulent world where things change rapidly, a strong body is necessary.
Secondly, the system’s prizes also have a redemption period. If you don’t consume them, not only will the system no longer reward you, but the system may also be locked.
What Li Ji thought of was timely consumption to stimulate the system to reward more prizes.
When traveling through the Sui Dynasty, one must first seize territory, occupy the mountains and become the king, and then expand the territory and achieve hegemony.
The second is to bring honor to the family and expand the family line, which is the mainstream of the patriarchal society.
In this end times, Li Ji is not the only one who dreams of becoming an emperor.
At the end of the Sui Dynasty, many heroes emerged, but only a few of them were able to take on the overall situation.
There were only Tang who occupied the Western Capital, Zhai Rang and Wang Shichong who fought for the Eastern Capital, Yu Wenhuaji who occupied Jiangdu, and Dou Jiande who occupied Hebei.
When Li Ji consulted Zhang Xutuo at Dahai Temple, he once analyzed that the warlords were all in the north.
As for the south, even though there are Xiao Xin and Du Fuwei, who occupy a larger territory and have stronger military forces, it will not take long for them to be defeated.
It can be seen that the political center at that time was actually in the north.
Li Ji thought that if he wanted to gain a foothold in the late Sui Dynasty, he must have great ambitions in his heart and the world in his hands.
He sighed in his heart, the food will be on your plate sooner or later, so why are you in such a hurry?
When Chunhong's passion was as strong as wine, he still adjusted his mood.
He responded softly, "A cup of tea please."
Chunhong smiled and said, "Yes, sir."
When she leaned over to serve the tea, she smelled the aroma of wine and the unique body odor of a young boy.
She called softly:
"Sir, please have some tea first and rest for a while before going into the inner room."
Li Ji stretched out his hand and accidentally touched Chunhong's soft little finger, which caused ripples in Chunhong's heart.
He actually pinched it hard, and Chunhong trembled all over.
A soft sigh: "Oh, sir, you..."
"Chunhong, is the master back?"
Just when Chunhong was feeling distracted, the young lady's voice came from the inner room.
Her face turned red and she hurriedly straightened her clothes.
"Oh, miss, the master is drinking tea."
After a while, the young lady came out from the inner room and bowed slightly, saying:
"My Lord! It's so late, it's time to wash up and go to bed."
Li Ji nodded slightly, and the ripples in his heart calmed down.
He saw Xun Mei wearing a pink and white three-piece suit and she had removed her heavy makeup.
With light makeup and a slender figure, she always exudes charming grace.
Li Ji put down the teacup in his hand and took Xun Mei's hand.
"Come on, let's look at the poem you wrote."
Chunhong poured out the tea that Li Ji had drunk and replaced it with a bowl of ginseng soup.
She walked into the inner room, placed the ginseng soup on the table in front of Li Ji, and said softly:
"My Lord, please drink it while it's hot."
Li Ji looked at Chunhong's red face and drank the ginseng soup in front of Chunhong.
Chunhong turned and went out. After a while, the young lady's giggling sound came from inside.
Suddenly, the lady's voice was heard.
"Chunhong, let Shaoyao come with me to visit the old lady."
"Alas, miss."
Not long after Chunhong went out, a maid about twelve or thirteen years old came in.
"Peony, I want to go and pay my respects to the old lady. Let's go."
Xun Mei walked out of the room and said to Chun Hong, "Is the master's bath water ready?"
Chunhong was stunned for a moment, then replied with a smile: "It's ready."
"Well, why don't you help the master take a bath so that he can have a good rest."
Shaoyao glanced at Chunhong and quickly closed the door.
The young lady came to the back room and saw an old lady over a hundred years old, sitting upright on a soft couch, leaning on a dragon-headed cane.
"Hello, Grandma."
"Here he comes, come closer to me. Mei, is that master here again?"
The old lady scolded sternly: "You must not forget the revenge for your father's murder."
Xun Mei trembled as she replied, "Grandma, I won't forget it for a moment."
"That's good. Women have their own ways. Although knives and guns can kill people, that's not your strong point."
The old lady touched Xun Mei's little hand and looked into her eyes with deep eyes.
"But your eyes can take his soul away."
She said leisurely:
"Heaven and earth are the origin, and the one origin gives birth to the two principles of yin and yang. Yang is divided into Taiyang and Shaoyin, and Yin is divided into Taiyin and Shaoyang. These are the four symbols."
"So everything in the world can be said to have yin and yang. Yin and yang exist at the same time, both promoting and restraining each other."
"Men are yang, and women are yin. Likes subdue each other, and opposites attract each other. You have to find a way to overcome yang with yin."
Xun Mei said shyly:
"Grandma, Mei'er has tried. But, he..."
Xun Mei looked embarrassed.
The old lady's face changed and she squeezed out a word from between her teeth.
"Girl, with your charm, can't you conquer the heart of an ignorant boy?"
Xun Mei stammered, "It's easy to conquer a normal man, but it may take more than one day to make him submit."
The old lady took a sip of the ginseng soup, smacked her lips and asked:
"This is strange. Is his body made of iron?"
The lady chuckled and said implicitly:
"Grandma doesn't know that adults often take a rare pill. Once taken, the supernatural power increases dramatically."
The old lady turned her eyes and whispered:
"Then you should insist on taking Lengxiang Pills. If he wants to be hot, you should be cold. Use yin to overcome yang, absorb essence and marrow, and use yin to overcome yang."
Xun Mei blushed and smiled while covering her mouth: "Mei'er knows."
An hour later, Shaoyao had helped the old lady to sleep.
"Mei'er, it's time for you to go back. Take the Lengxiang Pills quickly and read more of Huangdi Neijing and Suwen. There will always be a way."
"Grandfather, you should take a rest. Mei'er has gone out."
Xunmei turned around, closed the door, and walked towards the Yongmei Poetry Society with Shaoyao.
Shaoyao pushed open the door, went to the warm room outside and took off her coat.
Xun Mei was just about to sit down on the chair in the outer room when she heard Chunhong's panting from the inner room.
Shaoyao was surprised and said, "Miss, Sister Chunhong is really something. Why is she putting so much effort into helping you take a bath? You should take a break when you are tired. I can't do that."
Xun Mei smiled and said, "Little girl, you are still young, of course you are not motivated, you really can't do it."
Shaoyao asked naively, "Does this have anything to do with strength?"
She was stunned and Chunhong's breathing stopped abruptly.
Chunhong came out and Xunmei was shocked:
"Chunhong you..."
