The next development was exactly like in Han Zhan's secret letter to Xu Shu. Xu Shu was shocked, and silently made a spectator, watching these things develop according to the steps Han Zhan said.

After Mrs. Yang visited the general's mansion, four or five days later, Li Wei sent someone to invite Guo Yan to his home for a banquet. When Guo Yan was changing clothes and preparing to leave, Mrs. Guo saw her, and she hurriedly asked, "Where does the husband want to go?" ”

Guo Yan said casually: "Zhiran invited me to his house for a banquet, and after I finished changing my clothes, I went to Dasikong Mansion." ”

"Husband and wife, slowly." Knowing that Guo Yan was going to Li Wei's mansion, Mrs. Guo remembered Mrs. Yang's words a few days ago, and was afraid that her husband would seduce Li Wei's wife again, so she hurriedly stopped Guo Yan and said: "In the opinion of concubines, don't go to Dasikong Mansion." ”

"Why is that?" Mrs. Guo's words made Guo Yan is second monk puzzled.

Mrs. Guo hurriedly said the words that had been hidden in her heart for a few days: "The fate is unpredictable, and now the two males do not stand side by side, if he is poisoned after drinking, what will the concubine do?" ”

Guo Yan laughed after hearing this, and said to Mrs. Guo: "Madame is too worried, I am like brothers to Zhiran, how could he poison me." With that, he prepared to walk outside.

Mrs. Guo grabbed Guo Yan's sleeve, wiped her tears and said, "Husband, if you have any three strengths and two weaknesses, what should the concubine be." After saying that, he sat in the corner and kept wiping his tears.

Guo Yan has always been a little afraid of guilt at home, and seeing that his wife tried her best to dissuade herself from going to Dasikong Mansion, and it was not easy to save her face, she shouted outside: "Someone! ”

With a shout, a subordinate walked in from outside. Guo Yan instructed him: "You go and tell the person who came from Dasikong Mansion, and say that the general is ill and can't go to the banquet, and please don't be embarrassed." ”

After waiting for the next person to leave, Guo Yan walked to his wife's side, put his hand around her shoulder, and said with a smile: "Since my wife doesn't want me to go to Dasikong Mansion, then I won't go." Please don't be angry, Madame. ”

Hearing Guo Yan personally say that she would not go to Dasikong Mansion, Mrs. Guo immediately burst into tears and laughed. She said to Guo Yan: "What does the husband want to eat, the concubine orders someone to prepare, why do you have to go so far to Sikong Mansion." ”

Li Wei received a reward from his subordinates, saying that Guo Yan was unable to go to the mansion for a banquet because he was unwell, and he couldn't help but feel a little lost. Li Bei, who was sitting on the side, heard that Guo Yan didn't come, so he would think about more problems than Li Wei, and he said in a low voice: "Uncle, is this Guo Yan resentful because his uncle's official position is higher than him, so he deliberately didn't come today?" ”

Regarding Li Bei's statement, Li Dao immediately waved his hand to deny it: "I am as close as brothers and sisters to Guo Aduo, how can he have a grudge against Uncle Wei?" You don't have to talk nonsense. ”

When Li Wei saw the wine and food on the table, he thought that Guo Yan couldn't come to perfunctory, and he inevitably felt a little regretful in his heart, so he called a subordinate and instructed the other party: "You send this table of wine banquet to General Guo Aduo." ”

"The little one understands." The servant agreed, found a food box, and put the wine and food on the table into the food box in the same way. When he was done, he quietly walked out of the living room with the food box in his hand.

The subordinate came to the general's mansion by carriage, and after getting off the carriage, he said to the team guarding the door: "This military master, the small one is from the Great Sikong Mansion, this is the wine and food that my great Sikong Lord ordered me to send to the general, please make it convenient and let me send it in." ”

When the team heard that it was the wine and food sent by Da Sikong, where did he dare to slack off, he hurriedly took this subordinate to the mansion and found the housekeeper in the mansion. After handing over the food and wine to the butler, he took his leave and left.

The housekeeper carried the food box and walked to Guo Yan's study. As soon as he walked halfway, he saw Mrs. Guo coming, and he hurriedly flashed to the side and gave Mrs. a salute.

When Mrs. Guo saw the food box in his hand, she stopped and asked, "Housekeeper, what are you carrying in your hand?" ”

The housekeeper hurriedly replied, "Mrs. Qiyu, it was the wine and food sent by the Great Sikong to the Great General. The small one was going to be sent to the general's study. ”

When Mrs. Guo heard what the housekeeper said, she turned her head and rushed to the several maids behind her and said, "You guys take a few steps back, Mrs. Ben has something to say to the housekeeper." When the maid heard Mrs. Guo say this, she hurriedly turned around and left, and walked twenty or thirty steps away before stopping. Standing at this distance, they could not hear what Mrs. Guo said, and if Mrs. Guo had anything, as long as she beckoned, they could rush over immediately.

Seeing that Mrs. Guo had sent the maids away, the housekeeper guessed that there must be something important, and hurriedly said respectfully: "Madame has something, please do not hesitate to tell me." ”

"Come here with your ears!" Don't look at the fact that there are no idlers around Mrs. Guo and the housekeeper, but Mrs. Guo is still worried about leaking the news, so she leaned close to the butler's ear and whispered a few words.

When the housekeeper heard this, he couldn't help but be shocked, and he said in a bit of a panic: "Madam, the little ones don't dare, the little ones don't dare!" Please take back your fate~! ”

"Don't worry, the general will be fine." Mrs. Guo stared at the housekeeper and said coldly, "Just do what Mrs. Ben tells you to do." ”

The housekeeper looked at Mrs. Guo's cold face, and couldn't help but shudder, he knew that if he didn't follow this lady's order, he was afraid that his little life would be explained here, so he could only say helplessly: "Little obey!" ”

After Mrs. Guo and the housekeeper walked in the direction of the kitchen with the food box, she turned around and took the maid to Guo Yan's study. Guo Yan, who was reading a book, saw his wife coming in from outside, hurriedly put down the scroll in his hand, got up and greeted him with a smile: "Why does Mrs. have Yaxing today, come to my study?" ”

Mrs. Guo replied with a smile: "The concubine passed by outside and saw that her husband was reading, so she came in to take a look." ”

After the husband and wife chatted for a while, the housekeeper walked in from outside with a food box. When he saw that Mrs. Guo was also here, he couldn't help but shudder. When Guo Yan saw him, he asked curiously, "Butler, what are you carrying in your hand?" ”

"Go back to the general." The butler cautiously replied, "This is the wine and food sent to you by the big sikong, and the small one specially sent it to you." ”

"It's the wine and food sent by Zhiran." When Guo Yan heard the housekeeper say this, his eyebrows couldn't help but rise, and he hurriedly instructed the housekeeper: "Hurry up, I want to have a drink with my wife." ”

When the housekeeper heard Guo Yan say this, he couldn't help but be shocked into a cold sweat, but it was impossible for him to remind Guo Yan that the wine and food were poisonous in this situation, so he could only open the food box and prepare to put the wine and food inside on the table. Mrs. Guo didn't speak, just stared intently at the housekeeper's every move.

As soon as the wine and food were arranged, Guo Yan picked up the chopsticks and couldn't wait to get ready to do it, but was stopped by Mrs. Guo's words: "Husband, slow down!" I can't eat this food. ”

"Madame, what do you mean by that?" Guo Yan held up his chopsticks and asked with a puzzled expression: "Why don't you let me eat this table of wine and food?" ”

Mrs. Guo snorted, and then said, "How can you eat from outside?" After saying that, he said to the butler, "Butler, go and lead a dog here." ”

When the housekeeper heard that Mrs. Guo let her lead the dog, he couldn't help but be stunned, and said in his heart You just let me poison me, and now you let me lead the dog, what kind of medicine is sold in your gourd. Seeing the housekeeper standing still, Guo Yan was a little unhappy, and he said unhappily to the housekeeper: "What are you still standing here doing, haven't you heard Madame's words?" Why don't you hurry up and find a dog to come in! When the housekeeper heard Guo Yan's order, he hurriedly agreed, then turned around and ran out of the study and went outside to look for the dog.

Li Wei received a reward from his subordinates, saying that Guo Yan was unable to go to the mansion for a banquet because he was unwell, and he couldn't help but feel a little lost. Li Bei, who was sitting on the side, heard that Guo Yan didn't come, so he would think about more problems than Li Wei, and he said in a low voice: "Uncle, is this Guo Yan resentful because his uncle's official position is higher than him, so he deliberately didn't come today?" ”

Why don't you hurry up and find a dog to come in! When the housekeeper heard Guo Yan's order, he hurriedly agreed, then turned around and ran out of the study and went outside to look for the dog.

It didn't take much effort, and the butler brought in a half-sized dog from the outside, knelt in front of the two of them and said, "General, the dog has been led." ”
