Chapter 418 As long as you stay steady

"Don't fight, enough!" Mrs. Huarui frowned.

Wang Zhenfu's voice was distorted because of his swollen face: "Have you forgiven my fault?"

Mrs. Huarui is also a person who is used to being praised for being generous and praised. She was insulted and trampled by a small official. Of course she was angry. At first, this guy was a little happy to beg for mercy, but now she has no pleasure in pleasure and hatred, and some are upset! The ugly scene made her only disgusted, and she was just a naked power game, not even a fig leaf left.

"I don't care about that anymore, you can leave." Mrs. Huarui said.

She turned to see Meng Chang looking excited. The man seemed to be particularly obsessed with power. Power could bring them dignity and everything, but Mrs. Huarui did not think Meng Chang had any face. Didn’t he understand why this little official dared to be unscrupulous and why he servile here?

It was nothing more than leveraging Guo Shao's power, and the capital he used to leverage was actually the beauty of his own woman! Mrs. Huarui felt that the whole world seemed to be full of filth.

Wang Zhenfu stood up in a pleasing manner and pointed at the bag of money and property in Meng Chang: "A little respect, I hope my wife will say a few good words to the previous ones at Guodu's inspection."

Meng Chang was a little hesitant, but Mrs. Huarui refused: "I will not receive any reward without merit. Take your money back!"

Wang Zhenfu said with a shy face: "You are not remembering the misfortune of a villain. It's just a matter of two words. We have resolved our grudges, and the officials will no longer dare to be disrespectful to Duke Qin and their wife."

"I can't see Guo Du checking!" Mrs. Huarui said angrily, "Besides, I have nothing to do with him..."

Wang Zhenfu looked disbelief. Indeed, if Mrs. Huarui hadn't been due to Guo Shao's relationship, how could Wang Zhenfu be unlucky?

Wang Zhenfu held his fists and said goodbye and wanted to leave: "It doesn't matter if you don't want to speak for the officials. Those belongings are for free."

"Stop!" Mrs. Huarui quickly walked to Meng Chang, snatched the sack from him, and threw it in front of Wang Zhenfu. "Governor Wang fell to this point today, and he was completely self-inflicted..."

"Yes, yes. The lower official knew he was wrong." Wang Zhenfu nodded quickly.

Mrs. Huarui said, "We did not take revenge on you, but Zuo Shaoqing happened to visit and discovered the truth; and those things were done by you. Now I am no longer concerned, and I will not add any harm to you, nor can I excuse you. Governor Wang and us have already settled each other. Please keep the money and find another way."

She advised Meng Chang again: "Don't be greedy for small profits. If you start with something, you will not be able to control it. If you take advantage of it and don't do anything to others, you will not be able to get a clear relationship!"

Wang Zhenfu smiled dryly, and said with a ugly face: "It's good, it's good." He turned to Meng Chang again and said: "Since the wife is not grateful, it's hard to force the subordinates. In the past, he was rude to treat the Duke of Qin and wanted to invite the Duke of Qin out for a meal, so he apologized as a tribute. Isn't this a big deal?"

Meng Chang had no intention of refusing immediately, and Wang Zhenfu immediately said: "The Duke of Qin was under house arrest here and could not go out all day long. Just think that it was just going out for a relaxing time."

Mrs. Huarui was already moved by Meng Chang and lowered her face and said, "Alang, have you forgotten Wang Zhaoyuan? You are still deceived by these people enough!"

Meng Chang said: "What can he deceive me? I have nothing now."

Wang Zhenfu hurriedly said, "The Duke of Qin said, "Your High School can't afford your money, nor can you afford your title, but you just want to make friends. Think about it, you are also familiar with the officialdom in Tokyo. You may be able to make things convenient for the Duke of Qin. It's easier to walk if the road is wide."

Before, Wang Zhenfu vented himself to Meng Chang, but now his attitude is so respectful, Meng Chang is no longer angry. He immediately turned to look at Mrs. Huarui: "I have nothing to do in this yard all day long, I'm suffocating me to death! I won't go out for some breathing, it's so uncomfortable... You say, Governor Wang invites me to dinner, what can't I go?"

Mrs. Huarui was asked by him, and she didn't even know what was wrong with her. She just felt that the King of Governors could not make friends with her. She was not a woman who was irrefutable and couldn't tell the reason at the moment, so she had to take a step back and say, "Alang, change his clothes first and then go out."

Mrs. Huarui planned to stabilize him first and persuade him in private.

Unexpectedly, Meng Chang looked down at his body: "This is a pretty good dress, Governor Wang, let's go!"

Mrs. Huarui chased her to the door and told her to think about everything. There was no way, so she had to watch Meng Chang go out. Huaruifu couldn't control Meng Chang at all. He did a lot of ridiculous things when he was in Shu before and never persuaded him to stay.

She returned to the bedroom boredly to spend time, fiddling with the few remaining jewelry, and then looking at the bruises on her face in the bronze mirror. No wonder Meng Chang couldn't help it when he had the chance. The days here were indeed boring.

If it is just boring, you can calm down and endure it. The most important thing is to be calm down because she feels uneasy... She always has a kind of intuition. Everything accumulated in her daily life is like a house with a weak foundation, which may collapse at any time. Who can not be impetuous?

After the hour of You, the sound of bells and drums from afar came. Although it didn't sound loud here, Mrs. Huarui felt that the sound of bells and drums on the city tower could spread throughout Tokyo. What I heard here should be the sound of the bells and drums on the city tower on the east side of the inner city, because the Duke of Qin's mansion is in the east of the inner city, not far from the imperial city; Wangchun Gate is closest to this location.

The supper was very punctual, and Wei Zhong came to invite Mrs. Huarui to dinner. There was only a stack of steamed dried fish, a plate of fried lettuce poles, a bowl of lettuce leaf clear soup, no oil, little salt, and no seasonings commonly used in Shu Kingdom; Wei Zhong and the palace maid were not good at cooking, and it can be said that it was a bland and tasteless dish... Without ingredients, Mrs. Huarui was not in the mood to cook. Fortunately, the staple food was rice, and Mrs. Huarui was used to rice and was not used to the pasta cakes in the north, unless it was a snack.

She picked up the bowl and ate only and chewed the rice in small mouthfuls. The rice seemed to be the survival of the old warehouse. The rice grains were not as white as the white teeth of Lady Huali, and the black smelled of mold.

Wei Zhong hurriedly said: "I will go to the market to buy things tomorrow morning. Now Zaoli, who is open, dare not greed for our money."

Mrs. Huarui didn't say anything, and slowly ate half a bowl of rice. She was not full, and she just wanted to not be hungry. Then she drank half a bowl of green leaf clear soup, rinsed the warm soup in her mouth and spit it down.

She left the dining table in a depressed spirit and went to the hall to ask someone to make a cup of tea to continue to kill time.

In the middle of the night, when she heard the door creaking, Mrs. Huarui turned her head and finally saw Meng Chang come back. A smell of alcohol came over her face. Meng Chang's face was red, but she didn't seem to be drunk. When Meng Chang was the emperor, she was addicted to alcohol for a long time and was very weak, but she had developed alcohol tolerance.

"Alang, you are back." Mrs. Huarui stood up and greeted her, and asked anxiously, "You and Governor Wang are just having a banquet?"

Meng Chang put a basket on the table and took out a large bag of rouge powder, white silver and yellow copper from his arms: "I brought good things to my wife. There was mutton in the basket, which was a little warm, so eat it first."

Mrs. Huarui opened her eyes and said, "I won't eat it at night. After eating greasy sleeping meat, it will grow on my waist. Keep it for the hot tomorrow... Where do these things come from?"

Meng Chang said proudly: "I won."

"Are you going to bet?" Mrs. Huarui frowned.

Meng Chang said: "Tokyo is Tokyo after all, and there is still a good place! After we had enough food and drinks, we went around the gambling house not far away, which really opened my eyes; later we went... to drink some wine."

Mrs. Huarui said angrily: "You didn't gamble before, how could you learn this?"

Meng Chang disagreed and said, "What's the point of playing two games? Look, you can still win so many things if you have fun."

"There are wins and losses. If you can survive by relying on this, what are you doing?" Mrs. Huarui advised him earnestly.

Meng Chang said calmly: "Gambling money depends on your knowledge and courage. I think there is a saying by Governor Wang. Don't be greedy, stop when you win; as long as you are more stable, the money will be given for free. Those who lose money can win, but they lose because they are greedy."

Mrs. Huarui sighed softly, sat softly on the chair, with her arms on the back of the chair, and she was sitting and sulking.

Meng Chang's excitement was beyond words. Although he pretended to be calm, he could not hide the new and exciting glory. He continued to talk: "It's really interesting. It's just betting, there are losses and wins. When he sat there, he didn't feel anything. He just felt that time passed very quickly. One night was like a blink of an eye, and he didn't come back to his senses. When he won the money, he could almost stop. After he came back to count the money, he remembered happiness!"

"Alang, why don't you think more about it? What is that place? Can you take advantage of it for nothing?" Mrs. Huarui looked helpless and sad, "You can win money, I guess it was arranged by Wang Zhenfu, who deliberately gave you benefits."

Meng Chang shook his head and said, "What you didn't see with your own eyes, just speculation! The place is very elegant and quiet. It's not a messy lobby gambling at all. No one dares to cheat, no one dares to do anything, everyone is in a proper manner."

Mrs. Huarui muttered: "I remember Shu also issued a policy ban on gambling. Can it be ruled?"

Meng Chang said: "It depends on the place. It is said that the gambling house is very large and the government cannot move. In the officialdom, all the people have done their jobs, and even the officials will go in and play. The rules are set. Winning and losing depends on their ability, and it is very fair."
