The four hundred and thirteenth chapter is a major event
Guo Shao has been busy expanding his military equipment these days and is full of energy all day long. But it is a different situation in the "Qin Duke Mansion". The Duke Mansion of Qin is just an ordinary house with a plaque hanging on it; the door is deserted, and it is very boring.
Mrs. Huarui held the chopsticks and lowered her head to get distracted, thinking in her heart: Guo Shao seemed to have forgotten herself.
At this moment, Mrs. Huarui was startled and looked up at the side. Seeing Meng Chang's angry look, she kept the chopsticks in her hand on the table, and immediately cursed: "What's the matter! There is sand in the meal!"
"It's all my fault that the master is angry, I blame me for not picking it clean." The eunuch Wei Zhong said hurriedly bent down.
Mrs. Huarui said quietly: "The rice is harvested. If there are no stone stalls around, they can only be dried on the earth dam. Usually there is sand and soil mixed in it, which is difficult to pick. Ah Lang will just do it."
Meng Chang said angrily: "I won't eat it anymore! It's enough to have no wine, it's fine if there's no meat and fish in the dishes, what's the matter with bland and tasteless?"
Wei Zhong said: "Salt is very expensive, 200 min per pound."
"Aren't I a Duke of Qin? Where did my salary go, I can't afford salt?" Meng Chang asked with a frown.
Wei Zhong looked back and went up to whisper, "Two hundred citations are just the price on the market... Here are officials from Xuanhuiyuan guarding them. If you want to go out to buy things, or ask them to buy them on their behalf, the price will increase at least ten times. There is also the agreed salary, but we haven't seen it yet. We have little money, and we see less every day, so I can only save some for our master."
After hearing this, Mrs. Huarui reached out and untied a necklace from her neck and handed it to Wei Zhong: "Let's find a way to exchange for some money."
Wei Zhong shook his head quickly: "There are still some. The lady can't do it. I don't know how many of them will be left after I get it. I'd better keep it."
Mrs. Huarui stuffed it into Wei Zhong's hand: "It's useless to hold it, it's a few that can be replaced."
Meng Chang stood up, walked around the dining table with his hands behind his back, and panted for a while, holding the table and said, "The Zhou Dynasty court is so proud of his face. What is Qin Duke? Bastard! What is the difference between me and prisoners?"
"Alang is calm, don't let anyone hear it." Mrs. Huarui pointed her finger outside the door and said softly, "You were the lord of Shu Kingdom and the lord of millions of people in Shu Kingdom. The court will naturally be wary. After they wait for a while, when they think Alang is not threatened, and when Shu land is settled, the court naturally has no need to waste people's care and life will be better slowly."
She thought for a while and said, "I heard that many civil and military officials in Shu were re-appointed by the court. These people had received favors from Alang; you are also the Duke of Qin who was granted by the royal family with a legitimate reputation. Can you still find anyone to help with your salary in the future? Alang was patient and it would be not difficult to have a rich life with rich clothes and food in the future... It is much easier than those who were born poor and humble."
She pulled Meng Chang down and said, "Eat some more meals and keep your body healthy. Perhaps after a life of being pure and simple, Alang's body was damaged by those alchemists and could be well maintained."
"Don't worry, these hard days will come to an end soon." Meng Chang suddenly felt a little excited on his face, "You are right, I still have many ministers."
Mrs. Huarui observed his emotions and felt something was wrong. After thinking for a while, she suddenly asked, "Where is Li De?"
"I told him to do business." Meng Chang hummed.
Mrs. Huarui hurriedly asked, "What is Alang going to do?"
Meng Chang whispered mysteriously: "Gao Yanqi and Hou Mao have regained the military power of the Great Shu Imperial Army. I will send someone to contact him to seek great events!"
Mrs. Huarui suddenly lost her appearance, her face turned white immediately, and chopsticks fell from her hand, and fell on the bowl with a "clang" and jumped to the ground. She grabbed Meng Chang's sleeve, tears flashing in her eyes, and she was already crying, "Alang... why can't you live a good life? Why do you have to do that..."
"What kind of life do you want to live well?" Meng Chang stared at Mrs. Huarui, "Life is worse than pigs and dogs! Maybe one day I will send poisoned wine and it will be a good life?"
Mrs. Huarui cried for a while, then took out a handkerchief to wipe away her tears, lowered her head and faced Meng Chang. She was speechless and the atmosphere became cold. Only Wei Zhong and the only remaining maid left the sound of a jingling sound of collide with the bowl.
In fact, even if she is in a downturn now, she thinks it is okay, and there are slaves around her working and serving. Some little rich and small landlords in the countryside who have a little family property in the local area do not have slaves to serve her. So even if she becomes a pampered concubine, she can still bear it now. But she feels uneasy and never feels at ease... In the past, the Great Shu Kingdom had a large area of territory and many armies, and the worry was very faint; but now the threat is gradually magnifying, and Mrs. Huarui finally woke up. She felt that Meng Chang was not reliable at all!
I don’t know what happened, but it’s unreliable for him to do something from time to time. Perhaps it was because of his long-term addiction to alcohol and sex, or perhaps it was because of his great foundation left by Emperor Gaozu of Shu, and he could withstand trouble...
At this moment, a clerk walked outside the hall. The eunuch Wei Zhong, with fine skin and tender flesh, saw this and greeted him. The two of them muttered for a while outside. Wei Zhong turned around and said, "Wang Zhenfu, the governor of Xuanhui Court, was in the wing room outside, saying that he had something to do to meet his wife."
Mrs. Huarui immediately remembered Meng Chang's sending someone to contact the generals of the Shu army. When she was in Tokyo, others were obviously very wary. She might have been exposed quickly for such small actions. But she immediately felt that it was not right: "If you have any trouble, you should see Alang. What should I do when I see a woman?"
Wei Zhong said: "The man didn't say anything, but said he wanted to discuss an important matter with his wife. Please be sure to see you."
After hearing this, Meng Chang said, "I will go with my wife."
So the three of them walked to the entrance of the cave, but were stopped by a clerk: "Governor Wang only saw Mrs. Huarui, you can wait first."
Mrs. Huarui said, "It is not etiquette for me to see someone. Since you don't see Duke Qin, then forget it."
The clerk said, "Then you can do whatever you want. Xuanhuiyuan is in charge of the affairs of the old ministers. There is still some way to talk about some things now."
"What's the matter?" Mrs. Huarui asked with a frown.
The clerk said: "I don't know, I heard it is a big deal."
Mrs. Huarui hesitated for a moment and finally went to see Wang Zhenfu, wanting to determine whether Meng Chang was exposed. Compared to knowing the worst result, it was even more uncomfortable to worry about it in my heart.
Mrs. Huarui went out of the cave and was taken to the door of a wing room not far away. She saw a rich and wealthy wife in her forties and fifties sitting steadily beside the table waiting. The official was tall and fat, with a big face and small eyes, looking very greasy, and her temples on both sides of the black hat were already gray.
"I have seen Governor Wang." Mrs. Huarui made a blessing at the door.
Wang Zhenfu's little eyes stared at Mrs. Huarui and immediately shine. Mrs. Huarui is dressed very simply now, wearing an old light blue skirt and silk material that matches the identity of the Duke of the country. However, because of her situation, she dared not dress up too brightly, and her old clothes faded. However, her beautiful face with bright eyes and white teeth and fair and smooth skin cannot be concealed. She also has a bulging and swollen breasts and a graceful figure are also rare in the world. When Meng Chang was the emperor, she liked women with big breasts and beautiful shapes. Mrs. Huarui was favored in line with his aesthetic.
"Come in quickly, let's sit down and talk." Wang Zhenfu excitedly picked up the teapot and poured her a cup of tea.
Mrs. Huarui stood still and asked softly, "But I don't know what happened to Governor Wang summoned me as a woman?"
Wang Zhenfu owed his body and felt like he wanted to stand up. He finally calmed down and took out a letter and threw it on the table: "Come in first, do you want everyone to know about this when you say this? Madam should know what this letter is written."
"I don't know." Mrs. Huarui frowned and glanced at the table.
Wang Zhenfu said coldly: "Meng Chang secretly communicates with Gao Yanqiu and intends to rebel! Don't pretend to behave, how can you not know such a big deal?"
Mrs. Huarui was nervous, believing that the letter was true, otherwise Wang Zhenfu would not have used secret letters to blackmail at this time. She felt that her mind was constantly sinking, and she felt a panic about the coming of trouble.
Wang Zhenfu said again: "Madam, what will happen if you submit this letter?"
Mrs. Huarui was also thinking about the fate. The court probably didn't want to raise Meng Chang at first, so he let him live just to show his kindness. Now that he has obtained real evidence, he can blatantly get rid of Meng Chang... Then, will he be buried with him, or will he kill Meng Chang and be stolen as a concubine?
Will Guo Shao steal her? Mrs. Huarui feel at all now. Guo Shao doesn't seem to value him very much. She ignored him for so long and seemed to have forgotten... He is a young and extremely minister, younger than him, with a bright future, and he can't tell that he is lustful. He has so many concubines and palace maids in Chengdu, but he has not moved. He and Wang Zhaoyuan's daughter take the initiative to show her lust. Thinking about this, Guo Shao is really not willing to steal him. He might have done that long ago if he wants to do something.
So Mrs. Huarui didn't say anything, but her face turned very pale.
Wang Zhenfu took a breath and said kindly: "As long as you listen to me, we will burn this letter quietly, not report the report, and destroy the evidence as if nothing had happened."
"How do you want me to listen to you?" Mrs. Huarui's tone was depressed and her face was ashamed.
Wang Zhenfu said: "Come in first."
Mrs. Huarui didn't know what to do, so she stepped into the door as she said, but was careful to beware of this strange bureaucrat. She met this person for the first time, and of course she didn't trust him. Moreover, the light exposed in Governor Wang's little eyes was obviously tinny and malicious. Mrs. Huarui's heart was raised in her throat.
Fortunately, Wang Zhenfu did not make any intense moves to scare Mrs. Huarui. He just said calmly: "I don't believe you don't understand what I mean, as long as you..." Wang Zhenfu's eyes moved from Mrs. Huarui's beautiful face to her full breast that she could not hide.
