Chapter four hundred and twentieth self-injection
Gao Yanqi said goodbye, Guo Shao stood up and sent him out. He passed by Mrs. Huarui and turned his head and said, "Madam, sit here for a while, I'll go see General Gao off."
His tone was very casual and his eyes passed by, but just this sentence made Mrs. Huarui feel a sense of being cared for and missed... It was like family members and close friends who would usually say hello when they were going to do something, which was very casual and natural.
In just one sentence, Guo Shao does have a hard-to-speaking meaning to people. No wonder Gao Yanjun and Guo Shao get along so happily.
"Yeah." Mrs. Huarui responded softly. At this time, she could not feel inferiority and fear at all, and seemed to have forgotten her situation. It was amazing. Before meeting Guo Shao, Mrs. Huarui felt that she was a person who might be homeless at any time and had no sense of trust in the world, and was full of uncertainty about the future; but for a moment she suddenly felt very at ease.
Guo Shao disappeared outside the door, and Mrs. Huarui sat in the living room a little bored and waited.
She couldn't help but reach out and touched her cheek. The injury a few days ago was almost healed, and she shouldn't see any flaws. But before she came today, she was in a bad mood and was not interested in anything. She didn't dress up, didn't even apply light makeup at all, and didn't pick out the clothes... Will she be a little embarrassed now? Mrs. Huarui became a little annoyed.
Soon, Guo Shao returned to the living room. Mrs. Huarui lowered her eyes, leaving only the two of them. She suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
Guo Shao sat down directly on the chair next to her, and the two of them were separated by a coffee table. He spoke, "The demise of Shu Kingdom, and the court was quite kind to the monarch and ministers of Shu Kingdom. It is really regrettable for Duke Qin to write secret letters; but as long as he stops doing that kind of thing in the future, safety can be guaranteed. Don't worry, Madam."
Mrs. Huarui hurriedly said, "Alang is very regretful and scared now."
After saying that, her face became slightly hot when she recalled Meng Chang's happy expression this morning and put all the dangers behind her head.
"Since the Duke of Qin regrets it, there is still a chance now." Guo Shao said gently, "Madam, you must believe my sincerity. There are many kings in the world. Apart from the Northern Han Dynasty, only the Lord of Shu is unwilling to give up the throne. If the court could tolerate even the Lord of Shu, other kings would not be so worried...especially the Lord of Wu and Yue."
Mrs. Huarui immediately believed his words because it was indeed such a truth. Even she had never thought about this kind of consideration. Guo Shao thought farther than her.
She observed Guo Shao quietly, feeling that his appearance was not that attractive, probably because he was a little dark and his skin was relatively rough. He was not the one who could be liked by women after seeing it. It was very ordinary. But if you stayed with him for a little longer and pay attention, Mrs. Huarui could feel his breath that made people feel clean and comfortable... Perhaps it was because of the white teeth he showed when he spoke, although his face was a little dark, his teeth were very clean; perhaps it was his correct sitting posture, his modest and gentle restrained temperament; or perhaps it was his old but clean clothes.
In short, Mrs. Huarui felt that the man in front of her had no taste of the dust and had no sense of power. Although she was of a low origin, she had indeed seen many powerful people. The woman's intuition was also very sensitive, and she had never seen someone like Guo Shao.
At this moment, a young general came in, clasped his fists and said, "Report to lord, Cao Bin asks for a meeting."
"Cao Bin is back to Tokyo?" Guo Shao said, "You go and welcome him in."
"Here." The general replied.
Mrs. Huarui hurriedly said, "Will I delay Guo Du's investigation work here?"
"Haha, I don't know what's going on today. The guests who want to meet are the people I want to meet." Guo Shao smiled. "There are not so many guests at home to meet. Most of them don't have to come out in person... There is a screen inside, so let's sit behind for a while. Cao Bin may not be able to stay for long, and I am not very familiar with him."
Mrs. Huarui stood up and changed into a place as she spoke. At this time, Guo Shao also walked out of the living room and waited outside the door.
There was a voice outside, and Guo Shao talked about Shu Kingdom with the man named Cao Bin. It could be heard that Cao Bin was stationed in Shu Kingdom before... Mrs. Huarui had no one to accompany her, but she didn't find it boring. It was quite interesting to listen to them. This was probably why Guo Shao did not let her leave the living room. If she was waiting for Jing Niang in a room and sitting there without doing anything, she would feel very difficult.
The business of the generals does not sound particularly interesting, just like reading the classics and history, it is a bit boring, but it is still quite interesting as long as you can calm down and read it.
Guo Shao's voice said: "I originally planned to send envoys to Wuyue Kingdom, but if it is too early, the timing is inappropriate. Recently, Li Chuyun has made great progress in Wuping, and the timing is almost the same. I will write a letter to recommend candidates recently. I think it is better to send military generals, and there is no need to rush to return to China after going on a mission... Is General Cao interested in this trip?"
Cao Bin's voice said: "The last general is to serve the country to serve. If there is a place to use force, he will definitely work hard."
"Very good, Xiang Gongya really didn't see the wrong person." Guo Shao praised his voice.
The two of them said a while, then they calmed down and went out.
Mrs. Huarui pondered about their conversation and guessed that the Great Zhou Dynasty had already deployed military service to the Southern Tang Kingdom... She thought to herself that the Southern Tang Kingdom might have existed for a short time; her judgment was not to analyze the military strength and deployment of both sides, but was entirely intuitive because she believed in Guo Shao's ability.
At this time, Mrs. Huarui suddenly had an idea. If Guo Shao was the emperor of Shu, she might not have been arrested in Tokyo yet, and she would not have been worried about being arrested.
Guo Shao walked behind the screen and came. Mrs. Huarui hurriedly got up and said a little restrainedly: "It's too much trouble for Guo Du to check."
Guo Shao ignored her politeness and just muttered: "It's almost noon. My mother in Jing hasn't come back yet. I guess she wants to have lunch in the Taoist temple. If the lady has nothing to do, I wonder if she can invite you to have lunch together?"
"Guo Du treats him with courtesy..." Mrs. Huarui a little unwilling to refuse, and she couldn't even say anything politely refused.
Guo Shao simply said, "It's just a meal, so you don't have to be polite, Mrs., right?"
Mrs. Huarui felt her face was a little spicy and didn't say anything for a while. She really liked this place a little and stayed next to Guo Shao.
Guo Shao said again: "My grandmother lives in the second yard. I will take you over and take a walk. In the future, the wife can come to her often when she has time. I told the servants to prepare some simple wine and dishes at noon... I just got a chef this year and his craftsmanship is pretty good. It is said that her family specializes in serving meals for people on weddings and weddings, and her family-born craftsmanship."
Mrs. Huarui followed Guo Shao out of the living room and entered a gatehouse. She was a little dizzy. After coming in, she realized that if Guo Shao wanted to do anything to her, she would be just throwing herself into the trap. But she was not afraid at all... She knew herself very well, but it was difficult for her to trust others. Her strong sense of prevention was related to her experience. But for some reason, Guo Shao, a martial artist who was almost a stranger, had no worries at all after meeting her for a few times.
Mrs. Huarui thought to herself that if a person with his status is useless to prevent him, he may look down on him even if he throws himself into his arms... I was rejected last time, which is really embarrassing.
Walking to the north, a gatehouse inside attracted Mrs. Huarui's attention. The arc-shaped bridge corridor in mid-air was indeed a bit special, with a faint Qin and Han dynasty. The two of them walked and talked for a while, and then came to a dining room to sit. There was no one else, only Guo Shao invited her to have a meal, which was indeed a casual banquet.
Guo Shao smiled and said, "My yard will be transferred in a short time. There is also a back garden inside, which is not much bigger than the second yard. This place is not comparable to the Shu Palace. I have been to Shu Palace. It will take a whole day to go around and walk around."
Mrs. Huarui said casually: "The palace is naturally much smaller than the palace, but the palace is not mine no matter how big it is. This is General Guo's own mansion. It is also beautifully decorated. The gatehouse in the north is as round as a rainbow."
Guo Shao said: "That's right. Not to mention humans, it is said that there is a kind of birds building nests, and they will also specially choose beautiful flowers and plants to arrange their nests well, and then attract female birds to come."
Mrs. Huarui blushed and said, "I have never heard of such a thing..."
At this time, two middle-aged women with ordinary appearance came in to prepare the meal with food boxes. A few exquisite white porcelain plates containing dishes were placed on the table, and then there was a steamed fish. The purple-red wine was crystal clear and beautiful in the glass wine pot. There were not many dishes, but they were very careful and Mrs. Huarui felt very comfortable.
The sound of piano from the distance from the north was leisurely rippling in the quiet air. The sound of piano was far away, obviously not for the meal here, but maybe a certain wife or concubine of Guo Shao or a prostitute was still practicing the rhythm... but it accidentally added a bit of elegant interest to the place.
The sound was just right. When they were talking, it would not affect the conversation because it was farther away; when it was quiet, it could affect the atmosphere, so you could listen to it without feeling embarrassed. In this way, Guo Shao and Mrs. Huarui didn't have to keep talking, but they just wanted to speak, and felt very relaxed and casual.
Guo Shao took the glass, poured wine with his own hands, and handed a cup to Mrs. Huarui. He said, "I usually don't drink at noon, but my wife is a guest. I always feel that it's less meaningful if I don't drink some wine. Maybe this is 'no meal without wine'."
Mrs. Huarui picked up the glass, and Guo Shao took the initiative to toast. Mrs. Huarui said softly: "I thank General Guo for your hospitality." After that, she took a sip.
The taste is not very good. Mrs. Huarui remembers that wine is generally sweet. However, the wine is not very sweet, and it lacks the mellow aroma of white wine and rice wine, so I really don’t drink it very much. But Mrs. Huarui certainly didn’t say it, otherwise it would be a bit rude if she dislikes other people’s wine.
Guo Shao looked at her: "The sweet ones made from the inside, but I think it is not very harmonious with the salty dishes when drinking sweet wine. This kind of fruit-making wine may not be very delicious at the beginning, but when you get used to it, you will feel it is quite easy. Madam will tell you."
