Chapter 138 Prosperity and Loss

Two days later, it was the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. Guo Shao had nothing to do. If he hadn't been waiting for the news of Khitan generals and his personal soldiers to go to Youzhou to find Gao Huaide's sister, he would have wanted to go back to Tokyo. Anyway, he would not have seen Fu Ermei, so he would not have discussed marriage this time.

There is nothing interesting during the day of the Lantern Festival, but the lantern festival at night is worth looking forward to.

There was nothing to do, so instead of being stuck in the house, of course it would be better to go for a lantern festival. Guo Shao prepared early. Before it was dark, the lights on the long street began to light up one after another. He asked the maids in the Wei Wang Mansion to find out the location of the lantern market and went out with his brothers.

The snow on the street has not melted and night has not yet arrived, but the street is already brightly lit. With a street on the side of the Wei Palace, the lights are the most dense and radiating to the surroundings, the entire city is particularly radiant tonight. If Guo Shao had not just returned from the battlefield not long ago, he knew that it was still the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, if he only looked at the scene of this famous city tonight, he would definitely think that it is a peaceful and prosperous era with singing and dancing.

"Look, is there anyone you like?" An old woman who was setting up a shop on the way greeted Guo Shao and others.

This is a shop selling palace lanterns and handmade things. Guo Shao smiled kindly and said, "Let's just watch the fun everywhere."

Guo Shao paid attention and observed the streets. The streets were very tightly guarded. The Wei Wang Mansion sent a large number of soldiers to station at various intersections, and some officials patrolled everywhere. There were also many large clay tanks near the houses, as if used to prevent fires. He felt that the Tianxiong Army shogunate had already made arrangements for Shangyuan Festival, so he turned around and said to everyone: "Everyone is willing to have fun, so you don't have to follow me."

At first, there were not many people on the street, and the busy ones were all the vendors and shops. There were also houses near the lantern market who also followed the business, decorated and decorated the doors, set up a stall, guessed the lantern fans, and hung palace lanterns, which seemed to make money even if you wanted to be lively.

When night fell just now, the color of the lights became more and more prominent, and the streets soon became crowded with traffic and crowds, with tourists everywhere, and the spacious streets began to crowd.

Especially at the intersection of Dengshi Street, a huge paper-shaped half-arched decoration was red, like a rainbow that had emerged out of thin air. The countless palace lanterns hanging on the surrounding branches were also lit up, and the bare branches turned into a particularly gorgeous one. If you look farther away, you will see that the entire block is like stars shining, making the night sky look dull.

"Bang bang..." A sound of gongs and drums made the noisy streets even more noisy. When Guo Shao looked at it, he saw a dragon of lanterns dancing next to the half-arched rainbow. A group of people in bright clothes danced happily while beating gongs and drums, which attracted people to stop and watch.

Guo Shao was also watching with great enthusiasm. A girl from a few years old was riding on the adult's shoulder, licking the candy radish in her hand while smiling.

In this era, besides going to the Hualiu Lane to find the sounds and colors, there is really not much entertainment. Guo Shao is also rare to have such leisure and leisure shopping. I feel that the Daming Mansion in Fu Yanqing is still well managed, but I still feel that it is a shortcoming tonight... By the way, I heard that Fu Ermei would appear in the Lantern Festival in the inn. I was very excited at the inn, but the people in the palace proved that they were just bragging and felt a little disappointed.

Just now, I saw a fleet of carriages coming in a row. There were tall horses in front and behind, and there were many maids and servants on both sides, protecting a gorgeously decorated carriage. The carriage was covered with light red silk, and when I saw the decoration, I knew it was a noble lady or a wealthy family's daughter... Who is the man riding this kind of carriage?

A man sat faintly in the curtain, and a shadow was printed in the lights. It was indeed a woman. Suddenly someone heard someone shouting loudly: "This is a car battle in the King of Wei's Mansion! Isn't that the second wife of the Fu family?"

Many people's eyes were immediately attracted by the dragon lanterns, and they all looked around and watched, and some people started to make a fuss. Maybe there were people in the inn that day. Even Guo Shao was a little surprised. Is Fu Ermei really here to watch the lantern festival this year?

The streets are bustling, and the carriages slowly get off as soon as they enter the lantern market and are often blocked in the middle. Even the carriages in the King of Wei's Mansion will not drive away the celebratory people tonight.

So people were able to follow the carriage slowly, and Guo Shao was one of the members who followed the carriage and watched, and Zuo You followed. A man next to him laughed and said something that expressed everyone's heart: "After a gust of wind, blow open the curtain, so that we can enjoy the eyes and see it for a long time!"

"General Guo, do you really want to see Fu Erniang?" A woman said in a voice behind her back.

Guo Shao subconsciously looked back and saw a lady wearing a man's green robe and a veil. A piece of gauze drooped from the hat, covering her front face. However, when it was close, you could still faintly see the light inside the gauze; but there was a facial scarf covering most of her face. Although the lights were gorgeous, the light was not as bright as the daytime. It was very hazy, and you could only see a pair of smiling eyes vaguely.

"Do you know me?" Guo Shao couldn't help but look up and down. This is indeed a woman, and it doesn't matter what she wears. Nothing on her body is not a woman. It's useless to dress up as a man, so she covers her face with a hat.

The woman's voice was calm and calm, and she had a bit of joking jokes: "General Guo's eyes are high, I don't remember me. Haven't we seen it in the front hall of King Wei?"

After saying this, Guo Shao suddenly felt that his smiling eyes were really familiar, and he had seen them where he had seen them. The front hall of the King of Wei’s mansion? Is it the maid who poured wine or a dancer who was dancing? Guo Shao really didn’t pay attention, especially the group of dancer. He was not interested at that time, and was thinking about Sister Gao Huaide in his heart, and didn’t pay attention to those beauties... Could it be that someone in the dancer had quietly thrown his eyes at him?

"Oh, oh..." Guo Shao had no choice but to fool him, not trying to point out that he had no impression of her.

He pointed to the carriage on the street and asked, "Is she Fu Er's wife?"

The woman in the green robe smiled and said, "Yes."

Guo Shao thought this woman was very interesting. Although her smiling eyes were separated by a veil, they made people relaxed and warm. She had a good figure, not to mention the breasts that could support her wide robe and clothes, her slim back, her waist, and any clothes could not be concealed. Anyone with a discerning eye could guess any lines at a glance.

Maybe it was the dancer who danced that day, and the dancer usually picked up his figure. However, the lady in front of her was very spiritual and naturally exuded a kind of loving thing that was hard to explain... But the woman dancing that day always made Guo Shao feel that there was something missing. Perhaps people's moods were different, and what they saw in their eyes was different.

Guo Shao was not disgusted with such a woman walking with him. He suddenly said, "It's going to be a wind blowing. The direction we are standing in the wrong way, so change to the opposite side."

"Huh?" the woman was surprised.

Guo Shao smiled and said, "You have to believe me. I am good at shooting archery. Every sharpshooter has to feel the direction of the wind. Now the wind is small, maybe it will be strong in a while."

There was a follower next to the woman, and Zuo You were also behind her, and a group of four people crossed the bustling streets.

At this moment, the wind really blew heavily, and it happened to blow from this direction. "Ah!" The woman in the green veil and hat shouted softly in surprise, and she might think Guo Shao was amazing.

Guo Shao ignored her and quickly looked at the curtain on the carriage. It floated up all of a sudden. Although it was only a short while, he had seen the lady sitting in the carriage, a white young woman wearing luxurious silk and satin.

The round face was very excited, and the face was flushed.

Guo Shao couldn't help but frowned slightly. There was nothing wrong with being happy in such a lively occasion, but the second lady with a round face seemed to be shy at all, and she wanted people to look at her... It reminded people of the waiter in the inn, who was sensational and crazy, and the impression flashed through Guo Shao's mind.

Maybe it's an illusion, and you can't make a conclusion by just seeing it.

But Guo Shao still couldn't hide his loss. Even if he didn't care about his temperament and his appearance were not very good, his skin seemed pretty good, but his round face was a little baby fat and his double chin was completely in line with Guo Shao's aesthetic. If he didn't consider his temperament at all, the excited smile was not annoying, but a little cute, but it was not the kind of love that men and women admired.

As expected, marriage is nonsense. If you want to take advantage of other people's status and identity, you have to choose beauty. That would be too picky... Isn't that kind of fat and black woman who should burn high incense?

Guo Shao kept persuading and comforting himself: Only by marrying a concubine can he gain sex.

"General Guo, are you disappointed?" The woman in the green robe next to her looked at his face.

"No, no..." Guo Shao's smile was already very reluctant and ugly.

The woman in the green robe chuckled and said, "It's really insincere. You're writing everything on your face."

The girl beside her is a dancer or maid from the Prince Wei’s Mansion. Of course, Guo Shao would not say what he said. If she went back to tell King Wei or Fu Erniang, then this would be awful... I have really thought about it and wouldn’t marry King Wei?

Damn! The one born of a father, why is the queen and Fu Ermei so far apart? Maybe the two sisters are not the same mother.

Guo Shao was in a heavy mood and couldn't help but consider the foundation of the queen and Fu Yanqing. He recalled the woman in the car he saw just now, and he really felt that she was not ugly, young and had white skin. However, compared to Yulian and Yang at home, her appearance was really a world of difference.

The "online love" in my previous life died in the light, but I didn't see anyone investing too much personal fantasy and thinking that the other party was like a fairy. As a result, the imagination was beautiful and the reality was skinny. Guo Shao now has this mood.

Sometimes there is no way. A real beauty without makeup is a rare product after all... If you can't marry a beautiful woman as a wife, you still have to live a life. Fortunately, Guo Shao has two beautiful concubines in his family, who are legitimately kept at home, and I think he can still accept reality.

Guo Shao gritted his teeth and said: The support of the queen and the in-laws of the Fu family, these real benefits should be more important.
