Chapter 338 Rings and Wine
Good things often get extra busy. As the New Year Festival approaches, Guo Shao is no longer straight, but the schedule is full. What he wants to do is to visit relatives, friends, and colleagues in the court (for example, Li Yuan'er's house, Guo Shao must accompany her during the New Year).
There was a large white flat ground in the back garden of Guo Mansion... It was a lake with freezing underneath and covered with snow, which became the current situation. Fu Ermei pointed to the place under a dead tree, looked around and seriously, and said to the black and strong woman holding a hoe next to her: "It's here, dig it."
"When did you buried it?" Guo Shao said curiously.
Fu Ermei smiled and said, "Last year, I just got married and buried several jars of wine here."
Guo Shao said casually: "It would be better if you could drink fruit wine in a popular way. Now most people in the north still don't have enough food, so it would be a pity to use the grain to make wine."
After hearing this, Fu Ermei turned her head and said softly: "Husband is thinking so much... I just wonder how to dig out the ice in the lake and hide it in the cellar, and it will be of great use until summer!"
Guo Shao smiled and said, "My second sister is really far-sighted."
At this moment, several jars appeared when the soil was lifted. Fu Ermei squatted down and hugged a jar. Guo Shao hurried up to help. She saw that her jade white fingers were stained with dark brown soil, which looked particularly abrupt.
"If I don't mean it, you are not allowed to dig... It's better not to say it out." Fu Ermei reminded the strong woman who helped, "These cauldrons are specially prepared for the Queen Mother."
The strong woman was stunned when she heard the queen mother and said that she would not say a word if she was beaten to death.
Guo Shao joked: "It seems that your sister is a little more close." Fu Ermei smiled and said, "That's because only my sister likes to drink sweet things, so I specially put sugar in these jars; nothing else is added."
He remembered this detail... Looking back, he often said abstract words when talking to Fu Jinzhan, but rarely asked her the simplest things like what she likes to eat or hate.
Guo Shao and Fu Ermei prepared special gifts and immediately went out to the palace to meet the queen mother. Fu Ermei chose this time as saying: "Before the New Year, I usually don't visit relatives, because before the New Year, I came to collect debts; I had to go until after the New Year. However, there are too many places for my husband to go around in the first month, and my sister's place is my own family, so I can arrange it before the New Year to save a day."
When Guo Shao heard that he was "coming to collect debts at home", he couldn't help laughing.
He is in good condition now, but occasionally he feels a little guilty and can't figure it out. So he can often laugh and laugh happily.
The two entered the palace and paid homage to Fu Jinzhan. At noon, they were left to eat in the restaurant of Jinxiang Hall.
Fu Ermei went to Wansui Palace to accompany her sister first. Guo Shao was a male relative, so she had to stay in Jinxiang Palace restaurant for tea and wait. This restaurant is the most advanced restaurant that Guo Shao had seen, and it was very elegant.
The magnificent is the furnishings seen in front of you. The exquisite yellow curtains and spotless brass lamp stands, which reflect the glory of goose yellow. Guo Shao is really not very expert in calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall. But at first glance, it looks very precious and powerful. The wood painted on the table and stools is very exquisite, and the ceramic cups placed on the table are even white. Cheng Liang is obviously a specially customized tribute. But the place where the floating light flows is very quiet and quiet. The palace maid standing at the door not only doesn't speak, but doesn't even make any sound... as if she is in the middle of the night, quiet and elegant.
Guo Shao waited for the Fu sisters to attend the banquet, but because he was too quiet, he was a little restrained, so he pretended to be an expert and watched the calligraphy and paintings on the wall with great interest... In fact, he felt that the appearance of this lady seemed a bit ugly.
... Fu Jinzhan changed out of her dress and placed a set of folded red jacket and skirt next to her. She was about to put on her trousers first, but suddenly she found that her legs were very beautiful, snow-white, slender and tight, and her fat and thin lines were just right. She felt a little self-pity for a moment. Thinking that there was charcoal fire in the room, she didn't wear her trousers straight on her jacket and skirt.
She walked out of the curtain and saw her second sister fiddling with her jewelry in front of the dressing table. She stepped forward and pulled her second sister's hand: "Let's go... your hands are so cold."
Fu Ermei whispered: "What's there? My husband said that my hands are cold and my heart is warm."
After hearing this, Jinzhan showed a very reluctant smile on his face and pretended to be a joke. After walking for a few steps, he found that Fu Ermei was wearing a ring on her left ring finger. Although Jinzhan was in contact with memorials and military affairs in daily life, she still couldn't help but pay attention to these gadgets. She took a casual look and said, "I have some beautiful gem rings here. You can pick one later. It's not rare to use gold."
Fu Ermei smiled and said, "I just like wearing this one, given by my husband."
Jinzhan felt even more inexplicably disturbed, so he said angrily: "So stingy, how much is that small amount of gold?"
Fu Ermei didn't seem to understand Jinzhan's mood, and thought she was joking, so she said, "He said those gems are just stones, useless. Only gold is called hard currency at any time, which means it can be exchanged for money. People are ups and downs in the world. If they are in a bad mood one day, gold can be more or less urgent."
Jinzhang raised his eyebrows, and his vermilion lips and white teeth, "Sweeping" softly: "Will the people of the Fu family be in such a state of misery? When they really reach that point, you won't have the chance to exchange gold for money, and you will definitely be imprisoned."
"That's it." Ermei said softly, "but I like him to say that, it's quite stable. As I accumulate bit by bit, I feel very relaxed by my side, and I don't have to be afraid of anything I encounter."
While talking, the two arrived at the restaurant. Guo Shao came up and said, "I pay homage to the Queen Mother."
Fu Jinzhan looked at him coldly, his tone was calm, and his tone seemed to be a kind word that sounded good, but in fact it was just a polite and polite word, "Today is a family dinner, so there is no need to be too polite."
Guo Shao said again: "Thank you Empress Dowager."
When the palace maids came up with delicious food, a woman specially brought up the wine jar that had been wiped clean... The jar of wine given by Fu Ermei was filled with a small glass pot. Fu Jinzhan waved her sleeves gently, and they bowed and held back.
Fu Jinzhan picked up the glass pot with his own hands to pour wine for them and said, "You will be guests today."
Fu Ermei smiled and said, "I have added candy specifically for this jar. Will the elder sister taste it delicious?"
Jinzhang picked up the glass, took a sip, and smiled and said, "It's sweet, it's best to drink the second sister's wine. But it's rare to taste it now."
"It's indeed a treasure." Guo Shao followed, "but I know there is a cup that specializes in drinking precious and good wine. The glass cup is poured on a high foot, and the bottom is a flat surface as the bottom of the cup."
Fu Jinzhan looked at his face with a smile and said softly: "What shape is that? Why do you have to do it so strangely?"
Guo Shao said: "It is said that the temperature of high-quality wine should be just right after opening; the fingers are hot, and directly on the cup will affect the temperature of the wine. Therefore, a thin waist is needed to hold the cup."
Fu Jinzhan covered her mouth gently and smiled, "The person who came up with that thing must be a drunkard. She can do it so carefully when taking a sip of wine."
"It must be a drunkard." Guo Shao smiled, "When the drunkard thinks something is particularly precious and likes it very much, he will naturally do everything he wants. He is also quite meticulous when drinking it. He takes a sip and lets the tongue coating fully taste the taste of the wine, and then he is willing to swallow it."
He paused and looked at Fu Jinzhan with a teasing look, and said softly: "Of course, you have to taste the most with the tip of your tongue, right?"
Fu Jinzhan noticed Fu Ermei from the light of the light. She felt that her cheeks were hot, but she had to look serious with fear, which was really uncomfortable. She thought about it slightly, and even her body became hot, as if a goose feather was gently sweeping on her body, but it was not light or heavy, which made people feel a little nervous.
After saying that, he took a breath and was intoxicated. Fu Ermei looked at him with interest: "What did you have your husband tasted?"
"The sweetness seems to be a little heavier, which is not much worse than drinking sugar water." Guo Shao said helplessly, "but the fragrance is still quite good."
Fu Ermei couldn't help laughing, and after a moment of thought, she turned her head and bowed, and whispered: "I have a strange feeling. Every time my husband meets her elder sister, it's extra different."
Fu Jinzhan felt a little nervous. When she looked at Guo Shao, she saw a trace of discomfort flashing across his face. Guo Shao asked, "Your eldest sister is the queen mother after all, so I am different in front of the queen mother."
The second sister shook her head and said, "Maybe I'm thinking about it."
Fu Jinzhan paid attention to the second sister and found that she smiled and quickly continued to talk and laughed. Then she felt a little relieved... Guo Shao was also, why did he show off in front of the second sister?
The three of them were talking and laughing in the quiet room. The voices of the Fu sisters were very nice, and the voices of the Jinzhang were even more melodious. This exquisite dining room seemed to be infused with souls, making it extra wonderful.
Guo Shao was embarrassed to chew heavily in such an elegant environment and ate half full. After the palace maids cleaned up the dining table, they continued to chat and discuss afternoon entertainment. At this moment, Fu Ermei had a slightly embarrassed face and walked to Jinzhan and whispered a few words.
Fu Jinzhan whispered: "You go, I know where you are. Didn't you live in the palace for more than a month?"
The second sister went out quietly, leaving Guo Shao and Fu Jinzhan to sit in front of the table and look at each other. Guo Shao suddenly asked in a low voice: "What have you done with the second sister?"
Fu Jinzhan said, "She told me that I was feeling uncomfortable."
