Chapter 50: Making the Bed and Folding the Quilt
The queen was on the futon, her long loose skirt covering her legs, and it was not even possible to tell whether she was sitting or kneeling. But it should be kneeling, people can be deceived, how can God deceive?
She was dressed in a plain white silk robe, and the patterns and workmanship on the material were very delicate, but it was obviously not fitting and too wide. In Guo Shao's opinion, it's a bit like maternity clothes...... Generally, women who wear such thick clothes are either too bloated and ugly to be seen by others, or they are too good-looking but unwilling to be seen by others. The queen is clearly the latter.
"Knock, knock, knock......" The soothing sound of the wooden fish came from a distance, faintly.
Fu knelt on the futon for a long time. The incense and candles in the courtyard had burned out, but no one had renewed them...... After such a long wait, I could eat two or three meals, but hundreds of people waited in the temple courtyard, unable to do anything.
But the Fu clan is not afraid to let so many people wait, they wait for them, and there are people who are willing to wait here but are not qualified. She knelt unhurriedly in front of the Buddha, occasionally faintly hearing a faint voice, as if she was really talking to God.
She finally got up from the futon, but she didn't bother to turn around, and continued to stand there with her back to the person.
Suddenly, she spoke, very softly, but the door on Guo Shao's side was very close and she could hear it.
"It may be a few days before your letter of appointment comes down. Both armies on the left side of Hujie commanded envoys. ”
Are you talking to me? When Guo Shao heard this, he felt that he should be talking to himself. He didn't answer, the queen carried her back, obviously she didn't want others to see her talking to Guo Shao. He listened silently.
And the old eunuch Cao Tai on the other side of the door half-squinted his eyes as if he was about to fall asleep, it was true that everyone had been standing for too long...... The eunuch didn't seem to hear anything.
"You will be sent to the west to conquer the two states of Qin and Feng, and I hope you can show a place to write on the battlefield this time." Fu Shi paused, and said calmly and lightly as if talking to himself, "In this way, you can have enough qualifications to make achievements in the next war against Huainan."
The Southern Tang Dynasty was the strongest country outside of China (called China in the Central Plains), and its wealth and population even surpassed that of our dynasty. The purpose of fighting Huainan was to occupy the salt, iron and elite areas of the Southern Tang State in the Huai River valley, so that they would lose the ability to advance north. This battle will be crucial. If you can make achievements in this battle, you will have enough prestige and ability to become a minister of the humerus that the official family relies on. ”
"At that time, I will promise you the second sister of the Fu family. You're going to like her, she looks like me, and she's younger and more beautiful...... I won't say much about what you will get if you marry the queen's sister and marry the Fu family......
The last few words are for you: first the north and then the south, focusing on the Khitan. ”
Guo Shao was ecstatic!
He just coped with the rest in a daze, and his mind seemed to have drifted to the clouds. The big pie on the head makes people a little unbelievable.
marrying the queen's sister and the daughter of the prince Fu Yanqing's family is bound to be in a high position and power, and she has a heavy army and power; Moreover, as the queen said herself, the girl is very similar to her, and she is younger and more beautiful. Is there really such a good thing in the world?
Second Sister Fu...... Guo Shao returned to the imperial city from Daxiangguo Temple, and then went home again, thinking about this all the time. Although I don't know each other yet, the ladies of prominent and high-ranking families are supposed to get married first and then talk about their feelings.
When he returned home and saw Yulian again, he tried to control his feelings.
…… Thinking of Yulian's reaction a few days ago, her inexplicable emotions towards the Fu family, Guo Shao pondered again. She may not be completely jealous and jealous, but she just doesn't want to work hard for Queen Fu and be like the "young man" before, right?
He fully understood Yulian's thoughts, and finally had a support, if she died for a woman who lacked nothing, she would definitely be very sad.
Of course, Guo Shao is not the same person as before, but he doesn't know how to explain it to Yulian.
But she should have been informed about the expedition earlier, after all, it would be a few months to go out.
So after eating, when she was making the bed and folding the quilt, Guo Shao said dryly: "I got the news today that I will be reappointed as the Hujie Army, and then go west to conquer Shu, Qin, Feng and other states in Guanzhong, and may be away from home for a while." When to go is not yet known. ”
Guo Shao said these words very briskly, and he couldn't pretend to be anything, which was indeed the expectation that he wanted to make a contribution at the moment.
Yulian was stunned for a moment...... However, Guo Shao was originally a military general, and it was his duty to go to war, and it was inevitable that she should be able to understand it.
Not only did she not persuade, but she was silent for a long time and did not say anything.
Guo Shao gradually wondered a little, no matter what, she should always have a reaction.
Yulian was stunned for a while, then silently made the bed, and then came up to serve Guo Shao to untie his clothes...... She really waited for Guo Shao very well, a huge yard, almost just she and Dong Sanmei were working, and Dong Sanmei was small. But she still washed, cooked, and cleaned up the yard for Guo Shao, everything was in order, and Guo Shao was served like an uncle, and she didn't have to do anything when she went home.
On the contrary, Guo Shao finally couldn't help it and asked, "Yulian, why don't you say something?" ”
She suddenly replied softly, "Did you ever have a sister?" ”
Guo Shao was surprised: "I said that I went on an expedition, so you didn't care about it?" What do you do with this suddenly? ”
Yulian said: "It's nothing, I just want to ask you." I asked you in Longjin Bridge before, but you didn't answer me, and I didn't dare to continue to ask at that time. ”
"I do have a sister." Guo Shao, who was originally indulged in the ecstasy of great hope, was much lower for a while.
After hearing this, Yulian's eyes became serious, and she hurriedly said, "You tell me something about her, can you?" ”
Guo Shao should be glad that Yulian didn't ask where her sister is now, whether she is dead or alive...... Otherwise, it's really hard to answer, only lying; He can't say that he is a man a thousand years later, and he can't care about things over there, and even if he says such strange things, it is not easy for people to understand.
And he really doesn't like to make up lies unless he has to, and would rather not tell them.
He pondered for a moment, and felt that it was okay to say some things, so he said: "The situation of the family was very difficult in the past, and my sister seemed to be a little hasty when she got married, but later she paid a lot for me to study...... I have something I really want to ask her, is it because she wants to help me, she did that......" Speaking of this, Guo Shao's mood was very low, and there was an inexplicable frustration in his heart, and the voice of the last sentence was already very small, and he was weak, "But I didn't have a chance to ask her again, and I didn't have a chance to do my own wish." ”
Yulian asked in a low voice, "Did she die?" ”
Guo Shao did not answer.
