Chapter 405: The Residual Smell
After bathing and changing clothes, Gao Shi wore a light and thin layer of clothes, and lay down in the bedroom with the lights out for a long time. Expectant and nervous, she kept thinking crankily, didn't move, and the arm supporting her head was numb.
With a "squeak", she timidly sat up from the bed, and then got up to look for the embroidered shoes next to the bed, the light was too dim, and it took a while to put on the shoes and get up. Gao put on another dark brown coat and went out.
I heard the faint sound of beating the third watch before, and it was already midnight at this time. The lanterns under the eaves, the moonlight in the sky shone quietly, and the mist shrouded in mist between the houses and the grass and trees, and there was no one around. Gao's heart was beating violently, a little breathless, her chest was rising and falling, she lifted the thin silk skirt, and carefully quickened her pace.
What if I meet someone? Excuse to go to the toilet...... Or get up when you're thirsty and get up to find water to drink? Gao Shi was thinking of excuses in her heart, none of them could be reasonable, in short, it would be quite strange for her to be found walking outside alone in the middle of the night.
Fortunately, the early hours of the morning after midnight are usually the time when people sleep most soundly, and Gao can only take a chance not to touch anyone. Feeling like a frightened thief, she opened the door to the inner house and quickly went out sideways.
Soon the nervousness of being afraid of being discovered became something else. Gao had already walked to the corridor outside the door of Guo Shao's room, and she saw the closed door...... Is there a latch? If the door has been bolted, it is a kind of euphemism of Guo Shao's refusal, and at this time, Gao's rational approach is to give up in order to save some face. But she must have felt very lost.
Gao Shi approached step by step, it was really not easy to get close to him tonight, and his heart was broken at night. But she desperately tried her best to get closer without restraint, and was lured and tormented to approach step by step.
What you get is heartbeat, or is it loss?
Gao walked lightly to the door, pursed his lips, stretched out his right hand, and carefully supported the wide sleeve of his right hand with his left hand. I put my finger on the door panel and tried it gently, although it didn't open it as soon as it was lifted, but the door suddenly opened a crack, and there was a "rattle" inside, as if something was being placed behind the door. Gao's hanging half of her heart was suddenly climbing, and her sudden joy and high mood made her a little dizzy.
She immediately opened the door carefully and gently, making as little noise as possible, and only opened a gap before she squeezed sideways in. A lantern in the room was still on, but there was only a fire, and the light was very dim. Gao immediately turned his head and glanced at the place where the bed was placed.
"Sister Yi, you're here." Guo Shao leaned on the pillow and turned his head to lower his voice. He hadn't slept yet, he was sitting on the bed, and he hadn't even put down the mosquito net.
He was waiting for himself. Gao's face suddenly turned red, and he was temporarily excited and still felt a little embarrassed. "Hmm......" Gao answered, and soon found that the latch was placed on the cabinet next to the door, so she picked it up, blushed, and silently latched the door.
Countless temptations are because they are speculating on the other party's mind. Now that he understands what he is thinking, Gao is still a little restrained...... After all, there is no way to find a reason for such a thing.
Gao was embarrassed to say anything else, and asked casually, "Did you pick up that latch?" ”
"Well, it fell under the cupboard." Guo Shao's eyes looked very sober, and he probably had a heart tensed.
Gao had difficulty breathing, and felt like she was suffocating, and her legs were trembling slightly when she slowly approached, but she asked softly, "Why didn't you latch the door?" ”
Guo Shao said: "I guess Sister Yi will come, if you come and find that you didn't keep the door, how sad you should be." I've been waiting for my sister-in-law. ”
After hearing this, Gao Shi was sure that she was not waiting alone in the torment, and she was sure that Guo Shao was thinking the same thing in the long wait just now, not wishful thinking, her heart was suddenly soft and warm, and she was indescribably comfortable, and she felt that the torture she suffered tonight was worth it.
It was getting closer and closer, and the uncomfortable sense of anticipation made her heart palpitate, as if her whole body was roasted by fire. The clothes she changed after bathing were light and soft, and they were very comfortable, but at this time she also felt a slight pain in her chest as she walked. She walked on the side of the bed, Guo Shao's fiery eyes stared at her, without even blinking her eyes, she became more and more ashamed, and her hands tightly grabbed the dark brown coat draped outside.
I didn't know what excuse to come with, Gao's mind was dizzy, so he had to blush and silently open his coat, allowing the clothes outside to slip off his body and fall to the ground. She climbed onto the bed and kicked off her shoes.
"Sister Yi......" Guo Shao looked at her with round eyes.
Gao Shi stretched out his hand and put it on Guo Shao's cheek, and said softly: "Don't be afraid, I won't say anything to anyone, and I won't let you have any trouble." Don't be nervous, there's nothing wrong with that. ”
Guo Shao's hand reached out from the thin quilt and placed it on the back of Gao's hand.
Guo Shao said: "I think Sister Yi is more nervous. Gao's face turned crimson, bit his lip lightly, and said in a trembling voice: "Although I am old and not as good as those little girls, there are still some places that are well raised, do you want to take a look?" ”
Guo Shao looked into her eyes: "I think Sister Yi is very beautiful, the most beautiful of those women tonight." ”
Gao lowered her head, lifted the quilt and got in, she lowered her eyebrows and lowered her eyes, with a look of shame, reached out to hold Guo Shao's hand, and stuffed it into the quilt.
……
When Guo Shao woke up, he found that the strong sunlight had already penetrated through the curtains in front of the window, and the bright light from the skylight also projected into the middle of the room, and the room was bright.
He sat up suddenly, rubbed his eyes, and gradually came back to his senses that he was in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, and was a guest at the Dong family, and understood where he was and what happened last night.
Guo Shao turned his head and saw that the person next to the pillow was no longer there, and there was only one in the whole room. He looked at it for a while, and found that there was a very long hair on the pillow, so he leaned over and picked it up, and at this time he could still smell the good smell of the woman on the pillow, with a slight smell of rouge, and other smells. Guo Shao's mind suddenly came back to the lingering scene that he felt last night.
He suddenly had a little complicated tangled feelings, what Gao said would not be known to anyone, and there would be no trouble, in fact, it was equivalent to the joy of Pingshui, but he couldn't tell why, Guo Shao was faintly reluctant in his heart.
Only then did he remember that the sun had shone into the room, and the daily meeting of the temple secretary was probably already late. Usually he is presiding, and it is a bit inappropriate to be absent without saying hello...... But now it's too late. irreparable, Guo Shao had no choice but to give up.
Now that I'm absent, there's nothing important to do today. Guo Shao lay back again, staring at the top of the hood for a while.
Lying like this, he felt very strange when he recalled the dream he had had in the haze of the previous night. In the dream, he seems to have returned to his childhood hometown (the hometown of his previous life), a countryside, and the surrounding mountains and hills are both familiar and unfamiliar, not a road that is often walked...... Maybe I walked that road once at some point, but I don't remember it anymore, but I have a vague impression of the scenery along the way. He didn't know why he was walking on that road, and then he wanted to go home, but he got lost and couldn't find his way for a long time. It was getting late, and he was flustered.
All sides are hills, paddy fields, and paths wind through crop fields and hillsides. Tiankan is the road, countless forks and countless roads......
It's just a dream anyway, and you don't have to find your way when you wake up. Guo Shao shook his head, got up, dressed and washed.
The maid brought breakfast to the hall outside, Guo Shao ate and stopped a person and asked, "Where is my sister-in-law?" ”
"I haven't gotten up yet, maybe I was too late for the banquet last night, and I was tired." This little lady is very articulate, "Does General Guo want the slave family to call Mrs.?" ”
Guo Shao said: "No need, you can say goodbye to her for me in a while." ”
"Yes." The little lady replied.
Unexpectedly, she soon saw Gao coming over, her face was still tired, but with a smile, and she appeared at the door before she had time to dress up. Guo Shao turned his head and said, "Just now the people in the house said that Sister Yi didn't sleep well last night and hasn't gotten up yet, why don't you sleep for a while?" ”
"How can I sleep well?" Gao Shi stared at him faintly and said, but she didn't tease him too much, and immediately changed the conversation, "It's midnight when the banquet is over, and I drink so much wine, of course I didn't sleep as well." ”
Guo Shao said: "After staying overnight, I don't want to stay longer, so I will leave." Sister Yi doesn't need to send it, go back and rest for a while. ”
"I'll send you." Gao said, and then smiled again, "Otherwise, I'm afraid that the virtuous brother will blame our family for not counting the etiquette." ”
The two walked to the gate one after the other, Guo Shao went out with his entourage, turned over on his horse, hugged his fists and said: "Sister Yi, stay here, brother, thank you for your hospitality." After saying that, she rode away, walked for a while and couldn't help but look back, and saw that Gao was still looking at herself at the door, she saw Guo Shao turn around, and stretched out her hand and waved it with a smile.
It's a bit bad to go to the front division of the palace too late, Guo Shao sent a military general to tell Li Chuyun, explain that he has other urgent matters today, and let him preside over everything. Then he rode home.
In the past few days, Second Sister Fu and Li Yuan'er are not at home, Yulian happened to be here, she came forward to ask a few words, and suddenly said softly: "Fortunately, Madame is not at home, otherwise I would have to ask you about last night." ”
"On my sister's birthday, I drank a few more glasses." Guo Shao said casually.
Yulian said: "You have the smell of a woman on your body, and you can smell it at once." ”
"Oh......" Guo Shao sniffed a few times on his clothes, but he really couldn't smell it.
Yulian said: "You wore this one yesterday, why don't you take a bath and change your clothes." ”
"It's fine." Guo Shao nodded, grabbed Yulian's hand at the moment, remembered her expression when the second sister was happy last time, and couldn't help but say, "It's hard for you." People sometimes think something in their hearts, and occasionally it is exposed from small movements, Guo Shao glanced at Yulian's stomach when he said this.
Yulian saw it in her eyes, shook her head and said, "If I can't rely on Ah Lang, I don't know what kind of life I'm living now, how can I be embarrassed?" ”
Guo Shao didn't know how to comfort her, took off his clothes outside, and waited for a bath.
