The 272nd chapter sorrow (4)
No one can understand Chen Jiali's discomfort at this time, and she had great doubts about her value and character! She suddenly hated herself very much. ()...
She always felt that she was a pure and refined person who deserves all the favors and loves. She was so beautiful that she was superior to all the beauty, but... since Yu was born, why did she have Liang? Since God gave birth to Chen Jiali, why would there be someone like Zhou Xian?
It would be great if Zhou Xian was not in this world! At least it would be good if she hadn't seen her in Tokyo... This reunion first hit Chen Jiali's arrogance from her appearance and temperament, making her feel that she was not the peerless beauty who thought she was like an immortal, but just a vulgar person! Then, Chen Jiali's "joking" mistake made her feel very ashamed. Is her character so bad?
She shouldn't have made that joke. She now feels that she has fallen from a "vulgar woman" and becomes a "bad woman". When she is a proud and arrogant beauty, she suddenly questions herself and hates herself, she feels more uncomfortable than being killed!
Chen Jiali's heart was bleeding: No! I am not that kind of person, I am a beautiful and white woman from the outside to the inside, I don't want to become a vulgar woman...
But, can you stop now?
Now that she stopped, she felt that she was even more despised by others, and her character fell again... Even her mind was hit and fell to the level of "stupidity". She was just "vicious" in her mind, but she was played with applause and was teased by Zhou Xian while talking and laughing. Even when she was still in a downturn, she could completely defeat herself!
...Chen Jiali's heart was surging and she found a reason for herself: I am a very sincere businessman. Shouldn't Guo Shao give me a priceless treasure? Shouldn't he be repaid if he doesn't give me back? Besides, Guo Shao has kindness to me, and revenge for killing his husband is greater than that; can friends in the boudoir be compared with those who are very kind?
Yes, I should think so. What I did this time was to repay my kindness. I am a woman with clear grudges.
"Cousin, come with me." Chen Jiali said calmly.
The two beautiful ladies with both figures and appearances moved their lotus steps and arrived in a secret room inside. They saw many calligraphy, paintings and utensils placed on and down the shelf inside. Zhou Xian had agreed and admired and inspected them casually.
"The Zhou Dynasty rebel Zhao Pu moved here at home." Chen Jiali said, "There are Zhao Pu's seals and handwritten catalogs in many places. Zhao Pu is a criminal official in the Zhou Dynasty. How could the things in the family come to me?"
Zhou Xian asked: "Did Guo Shao take it?"
Chen Jiali nodded: "It's just yesterday that you know that he sent something. It's priceless?"
"It's really not cheap." Zhou Xian frowned.
Chen Jiali said: "He gave me good things, and threatened me again, asking me to do his job."
Zhou Xian remained silent.
Chen Jiali said carefully again: "Guo Shao also threatened me. Now he is powerful, so he told us not to toast or eat and punish the wine. If he doesn't appreciate it, he will chop the sixth young master with one knife!" Chen Jiali deliberately stretched out her palm and slashed downwards.
Sure enough, Zhou Xian's shoulders were trembling! Chen Jiali felt a sense of pleasure in her heart and said quietly: "If you kill the sixth young master, you can take your cousin! Don't you know how lawless the martial artists of the Zhou Dynasty are? He can really do it, and we can't do it with him... More than 100,000 elite soldiers are in hand, and the world can only tremble under the iron hooves! In the Great Zhou, force is everything, there is no right or wrong!"
Zhou Xian's face turned pale. Chen Jiali paid attention to the observation and felt that she shouldn't be pretending this time, right?
...When Zhou Xian returned to Li Yu, Li Yu asked, "Have you said goodbye to your cousin?"
"No, why don't we stay for two more days, I still have something to talk to my cousin." Zhou Xian's face was not bloody.
Li Yu said in confusion: "What's the matter?"
Zhou Xian said: "Do you still remember my exam for "Dance of the Rainbow Dance"? I used to write a letter that was high and the road was far and wide. Now I finally saw it. I just took the opportunity to discuss it with my cousin."
"In this situation, you still have the heart to do that." Li Yu pondered.
Zhou Xian had to patiently advise him: "Everyone has a hobby and can't let go at any time."
She didn't want to tell what Chen Jiali said, because Li Yu was a little suspicious about herself recently. When she said it, she was afraid that he would be too concerned, and suspected that she would betray him. In addition, Li Yu was already worried enough now, so she told him to increase his worries.
Zhou Xian was skeptical about Chen Jiali's words... This time Chen Jiali said it very reasonable, but she could deceive Zhou Xian once, but she might cheat him again; so Zhou Xian was not particularly convinced.
But I still agree with Chen Jiali's reason: Zhou Xian and his wife are now in Tokyo, and the Southern Tang Kingdom is relatively weaker than the Great Zhou Dynasty. What is their fate really matters the one-word question of the powerful.
Sure enough, Li Yu said anxiously: "We should prepare a generous gift for Chen Jiali. It would be even better if we could speak in front of Guo Shao. These strong and cruel people can kill people's lives in just one word!"
...
At that time, officials of the Zhou court received an envoy from the Southern Tang Kingdom. They were sent by the newly promoted king Li Hongji, and submitted a letter of nationality to continue to submit to the Great Zhou Dynasty.
The book asked the court to send his brother Li Yu back to the country, but the wording was not "brothers and couples", and Li Yu was only asked to be alone; if the Great Zhou recognized Li Hongji's title of lord and repatriated Li Yu, the Southern Tang Kingdom was willing to pay an additional tribute to property worth one million yuan.
One million coins! This was a very generous amount of money for the Zhou Dynasty, which had been worried about military expenditure for a long time. The Zhou Dynasty was in a state of military service and had many soldiers inside and outside, and was always tight.
...But Guo Shao didn't know about the Southern Tang Kingdom for the time being. He was all in his body and mind a while ago and was in the great internal crisis, so he didn't care about the Southern Tang Kingdom at all. Now he felt a little exhausted and finally relaxed and didn't even go to court.
When they returned to the mansion, they happened to see Zuo You, so the two of them sat in the front yard hall for a while. At this time, the blacksmith Huang brought a large stack of worship books. Zuo You picked it up and looked at it without seeing him, and smiled and said, "There are many people who want to see the lord."
"There is a pile of waste paper every day." Guo Shao smiled, "But I dare not accept the official gifts. If I collect the money, I will not help you. If I don't help you, wouldn't it be sincere? If I help you, I will sell official porridge and entitlements... The way to kill chickens and get eggs is. Since it is ruled by man, you can't be careless when choosing officials."
Zuo You nodded in admiration: "The lord has revealed his aura of a bright lord."
"The effect of power is really immediate. Even a month ago, not so many people wanted to make friends with me." Guo Shao pondered, "The right way is, justice is not in people's hearts, right and wrong cares about strength."
Zuo You smiled and said, "Although the lord said that, how could he let Zhao Pu's family go... In fact, it is understandable to pick a few of those beautiful concubines back."
Guo Shaoxing said: "They just feared my power and force, so I don't need to force others..."
He was very attentive to his women, even though both concubines at home were very concerned about them and did not treat them as playthings. After all, people are also humans, not things. Besides, Fu Jinzhan is Fu Ermei in his heart, and Guo Shao felt that as long as they were there, it was enough, and he had no interest in looting other people's wives and concubines.
"I am not as lustful as rumors. I don't know who made the rumors. I was really shot while lying down." Guo Shao and Zuo You were close to each other, so they bowed and leaned over and laughed: "The best thing for a woman is not her body and lust, but her heart; raising her is for care, and she can't take care of her. We don't have to see how miserable they live... In that case, it will only add guilt and unhappiness to themselves and cause trouble. Why bother?"
Zuo You echoed, "The lord is a romantic man."
Guo Shao laughed and said, "I'm just a martial artist... Hey, why don't Mr. Zuo be an official in the morning? I will meet the queen mother and ask her to give you an official."
Zuo You heard Guo Shao's understatement, "I asked the Empress Dowager to be an official", and his face showed a look of admiration, and almost gave him a thumbs up. He pretended to be calm and calm: "It's so hard to do the work with the lord or talk about elegance every day?"
Guo Shao said: "If you have some leisure time, find a seat or a little Jiuqing in the Hanlin Academy to do it first. Just go to report a few times a month. If you can get a salary, I will save money."
Zuo You joked: "I thought the lord wanted to appreciate the merits, but it turned out that he had the idea!"
The Hanlin Academy opened his mouth, Xiao Jiuqing, Guo Shao knew that Zuo You was almost drooling in secret, and he was still pretending! He said calmly: "Then forget it, let's talk about it later."
After saying that, pay attention to Zuo You's expression.
Sure enough, Zuo You couldn't hide his anxiety and touched a beard on his chin and said, "Actually... I met my friend in the officialdom. If I had a good identity and had a better face, it would be better to be an official..."
After hearing this, Guo Shao slapped the table and laughed.
Zuo You's face turned red, and he looked at Guo Shao and sighed "ah".
At this moment, another servant walked to the door and sent a post in. Guo Shao smiled and said, "Show it to Mr. Zuo, he likes to read the words."
Zuo You was about to reach out to pick it up, but he stopped and said softly: "Mrs. Chen..."
"Uh! Take it." Guo Shao said hurriedly. He hurriedly took it and pulled it away. This was not only a reply, but also a letter.
Zuo You waved his hand and asked the servants of Guo’s family to retreat. He immediately said in a mocking tone: “What did the lord say just now? Isn’t it a good woman?”
Zuo Youping was still very respectful, but whenever he got into a good mood when he got through a big thing, Guo Shao took the initiative to ask him to joke. Over time, the two of them got used to a more casual way of getting along.
Guo Shao ignored his jokes and looked like the letter. In the letter, Mrs. Chen mentioned that the thing she gave last time was too expensive, but she felt guilty and wanted to repay a particularly rare treasure, and she was sure that Guo Shao would be satisfied.
Could it be that Mrs. Chen should take the initiative to sacrifice herself? Guo Shao thought in his heart, and immediately remembered Chen Jiali's waist, which was flexible, slender and very powerful for long-term dancing, was indeed very excellent! Who doesn't like beauty? Mainly, Guo Shao's taste was high after marrying Fu Ermei, and ordinary women really couldn't arouse his interest, but Chen Jiali was an exception.
