Chapter three hundred and nineteen three earrings
The east sky is slightly white, and the sun is far from rising. The windless morning is shrouded in a faint mist. The scattered lanterns on the long street are still emitting lights, hazy in the fog, and the light is blurred.
Listening to the "jigu" of the car wheels turning boringly, feeling the chill of early winter on the back of his hand, Fu Jinzhan sat silently on the carriage returning to the palace. Guo Shao sat next to him, and the long and intimate whispers of last night were still in his ears, but they didn't say anything now. Fu Jinzhan picked up a corner of the curtain and observed the scene outside for a while. Occasionally, he could see one or two shops taking the door panels in front of the door and preparing to open the door to do business. A new day is beginning.
"What are you going to do in a while?" Fu Jinzhan asked softly.
Guo Shao said: "I will wait to pick up my second sister home first, and then I will go to the front hall of the palace to Dianmao. The distance from Donghuamen is not too far from home."
Fu Jinzhan responded quietly, "I don't know why, but I feel strange and a little sour."
At this time, Fu Jinzhan's back of his hand felt a warm feeling, and Guo Shao said kindly: "Maybe because of separation. Think about it, I didn't say it just now. The palace and Guo's mansion are very close, and we are all in Tokyo, and it is easy to see each other again."
"Yeah." Fu Jinzhan tried to show a smile on her face, her curved eyes as gentle as the light of the moon. She whispered, "It's such a cold day, your hands are so warm."
When the people arrived at Xihuamen, the eunuch Cao Tai brought "Fu Ermei" into the palace. Guo Shao took the people to Donghuamen and waited.
...In the bedroom of Wansui Palace, Fu Ermei rubbed her sleepy eyes. Seeing Fu Jinzhan covered her mouth with her hands and yawned, she couldn't help asking, "Sister didn't sleep last night?"
Fu Jinzhan: "I slept late. Because I was too late at night after I finished my work, I rested in the warm pavilion of Jinxiang Palace for a night."
Fu Ermei paid attention to her sister's expression. The face that looked very similar to her was obviously tired, but she was very calm and indifferent, and could not see anything wrong at all.
"What big thing happened?" Fu Ermei asked softly again.
Fu Jinzhan said: "About Shu Kingdom, I have reported it back in detail. The Lord of Shu Kingdom is stepping up defense and I don't know where to find out that we will attack Shu."
"Oh..." The second sister nodded thoughtfully and turned to laugh, "I don't understand those things anyway, so it's useless to tell me. I'm going to get up and wash up." Fu Ermei got up from the bed lightly, and her sister helped her dress in an intimate way.
There was no unusual thing on my elder sister's face, but my second sister's intuition was still a bit strange. Including my father and brother, I was too lazy to explain anything serious to her. Most of the time, you don't understand and ask me is useless. Why would my elder sister explain in detail to herself this morning?
Fu Ermei is self-aware and her mind is not as good as that of her elder sister. She also knows her elder sister and her heart is as quiet as the sea. If she doesn't want others to see her thoughts, no one can know any news from her... But Fu Ermei is not a rough person, and her heart is also very delicate.
Fu Jinzhan seemed to be suppressing her tiredness and patiently accompanied her second sister to finish her breakfast and tidy up. At this time, Cao Tai came in to report that Guo Shao had arrived outside Jinxiang Hall early in the morning to wait for his wife.
The second sister said goodbye to Fu Jinzhan, who gave her some jewelry and silk fabrics, which were very generous.
She was very happy to see Guo Shao, followed him home, and then advised him to go to the duty station. She returned to the quiet garden by the lake. Fu Ermei didn't have to do anything, she just needed to find interesting things to enjoy.
She took out the things given by her elder sister first and looked at them with interest. Fu Ermei was already very interested in these exquisite and beautiful gadgets, not to mention the tributes from the palace, and the exquisite craftsmanship was different than those bought on the market. But Fu Ermei soon discovered that although these things were expensive, it was obvious that the elder sister didn't take any time to choose them, and there were three earrings... This scene appeared in Fu Ermei's mind, and the elder sister was absent-minded and grabbed a handful of them in her jewelry box.
The second sister dropped the jewelry in her hand, stood up, held her hands together and walked a few steps in Mingjing's bedroom. When she raised her head, Yuqing was standing silently at the door... She had long been used to Yuqing being by her side, and she was a good person to accompany her; when she was in a low mood and didn't want to talk, Yuqing would never annoy her. When she was in a good mood and wanted to find someone to share the joy, Yuqing would listen carefully to her and never mind that she was too trivial.
"Yuqing." The second sister called out softly.
The absent-minded Yuqing immediately turned around and said, "Second Lady."
Fu Ermei said, "Go and see where Dong Sanniang is and call her over."
She remembered that Dong Sanniang's brother Dong Er was a guard beside her husband. Although Fu Ermei had not returned from her parents' home for a long time and stayed in the palace for another month, she also heard about Dong Sanniang; because her second brother was rescued by Guo Shao from the death prison, someone occasionally told her about this in the garden.
Not long after, Dong Sanniang walked to the bedroom door timidly, bent her knees and said, "Madam, call me?"
Seeing her timid appearance and looking young, Fu Ermei quickly showed a gentle smile and said kindly: "Don't be afraid, am I good to you?"
Dong Sanniang whispered: "Okay."
Fu Ermei nodded and waved her to come. Dong Sanniang buried her head and slowly moved to her. Fu Ermei picked up a pair of gold earrings from the dressing table and gently put them on Dong Sanniang's ears.
Dong Sanniang blushed, she reached out and touched her, and it was neither right to take it nor not to take it, and she said, "That's something like this..."
"It's okay. If you get married in the future, you will have more things to take to your in-laws' house. It's useful to keep the gold." Fu Ermei smiled. Dong Sanniang said carefully: "Thank you, my wife."
Fu Ermei said softly: "I have something I want you to help me. In the afternoon, you go to the front yard and wait for your brother and Alang to come back. Ask your brother, where did Alang go last night, and who did he be with. Are you willing to help me?"
Dong Sanniang was silent for a while and nodded hesitantly.
Fu Ermei's face suddenly showed a warm smile and she whispered: "If you have any grievances in the future, tell me and I'll help you stand up."
...In the afternoon, Guo Shao went to the military camp of the Guards Division, which had just been reorganized, and then went home from the military camp without staying anywhere. He got off the carriage and immediately saw Dong Sanniang standing alone beside the corridor and looking at this side.
Dong Er, who was behind, got off the horse's back, handed the reins to a companion and said, "Do you a favor, my sister is waiting for me."
Guo Shao did not ask Dong Er and turned around and said, "Today, the rotation brothers will lead the horse to the stable and then go home." Everyone clasped their fists and said, "The Lord said goodbye."
Unexpectedly, just after he took a few steps, he saw Dong Er running back and said, "Lord, my sister is waiting for you..."
Guo Shao smiled awkwardly: "Then I'll walk over there and go over and ask the third sister what's going on."
He turned around to the corridor, and the third sister followed him, turned around and glanced at the back quickly, and whispered: "Alang, my wife asked me to ask my second brother today, where did Alang go last night, who was with..."
Guo Shao stopped immediately, and turned around and asked, "What did Dong Er say?"
The third sister lowered her head and said, "I didn't ask... how should I answer my wife?"
Guo Shao's expression became very ugly. He didn't say a word and continued walking slowly, without saying a word for a long time. He was with Fu Jinzhan, but the pressure was not too great because he had been considering Fu Jinzhan for a long time. In addition, after his second sister got married, he didn't see how she cared about herself and other women. She was like Fu Jinzhan who was used to men's three wives and four concubines... Guo Shao didn't think that there was something wrong with Fu Jinzhan's change of heart, but it was wrong to deceive Fu Ermei, and he was very sad.
He still treats his second sister with his heart. He must first be sincere in his heart to gain trust and equal sincerity; without sincerity, no matter how high the means, the longer the time, it will always make people feel wrong. Besides, Guo Shao has no means to deal with women.
I really don't want to deceive Fu Ermei.
He took the petite Dong Sanmei, one by one, one behind and one behind, silently entered a Yuedong Gate, and then walked through the middle yard. The overpass in front was very conspicuous, which was the entrance to the gatehouse of the back garden.
The third sister asked again: "Alang, my wife will definitely ask me later, how should I answer her?"
Tell her the truth? How to say, can you say that you were with "Second Sister" last night, and Fu Ermei was in the palace last night... She is not a fool, and she can even think of who "Second Sister" outside last night was with her toes.
Guo Shao realized a very simple and inevitable contradiction: if you hide it from Fu Ermei, you must deceive her; if you don’t want to deceive her, you can’t hide it from her.
I suddenly told her that I and your sister are actually the same... Guo Shao felt that doing this was too bad, and maybe he should have told her in the end, but the opportunity is inappropriate; I need to think carefully and find a good opportunity.
He turned around and said, "I said I'm going to Li Chuyun's mansion."
"Yes." The third sister responded softly.
Guo Shao said: "Fortunately, you tell me first...Aren't you very brave? Are you afraid of offending your wife?"
The third sister looked at the ground without saying a word.
Guo Shao didn't continue to ask her, but he had already entered the gatehouse, but he didn't see Fu Ermei. He went straight to the living room, but no one saw anyone, only saw a strong and black woman cleaning the stone path outside, so he called in and taught her to help unload her armor.
Soon, Fu Ermei finally walked to the door of the hall and said with a smile: "Husband!" She came forward happily and threw herself into Guo Shao's arms, hugged him and ignored the stout stout woman beside her.
Seeing this, the woman said embarrassedly: "I, I'll go out first, the yard has not been cleaned yet."
Guo Shao said: "Where did you go just now?"
"I won't tell you." Fu Ermei's face flushed and she stood on tiptoe and whispered in his ear, "I want to reward you tonight."
