Chapter 326: Unreliable Jing Niang
Zhou Xian walked to the high-level residence hall in the auditorium and realized that it was really not a good weather today, and Tokyo was not a good place...... Cold! There was neither snow nor rain, the sky was gray and cold.
She could see the messenger waiting in the hall all over her body at a glance, and she only felt that this person was very annoying, maybe there was no one around Zhou Duan who could be used. The messenger was indeed sent by Zhou Duan, and Zhou Xian recognized him, and he had sent two letters before.
"Bring it." Zhou Xian suddenly looked very rude.
The messenger respectfully took out the letter and handed it over. After Zhou Xian took it, he said angrily: "Don't send a letter if you have anything to do!" ”
"What did the villain do wrong?" The messenger looked confused.
Zhou Xian came back to his senses, didn't say anything, turned around and left. She went back and opened the letter haphazardly, and read it in distraught, only to think that Zhou Duan was full of nonsense, all about their departure from Tokyo, and it was purely a courtesy letter.
She sat sullenly at a round table, her snow-white teeth biting her scarlet lip, and said in her heart: I will never take the initiative to have anything to do with him, that's all! Now, even if he wants to meet again, I won't agree.
At this moment, the slave maid who had just come to report the news came in again and said, "Madam, there is someone who wants to see you again, it is a woman. ”
"Nope!" Zhou Xian blurted out.
The slave was startled and whispered, "Then I'll go and refuse her, what excuse can I find......"
"Wait." Zhou Xian frowned and said, "Since it's a woman, you bring her in, let's ask what's the matter." ”
"Whoa." The slave answered.
After a while, I saw a tall and plump beauty with an indifferent expression being brought in, she was wearing a lapel robe, looking at that expression, as if she was a noble lady with more status than Zhou Xian...... But Zhou Xian recognized her, she was a follower by Guo Shao's side, called Jing Niang. Jing Niang glanced at Zhou Xian, and said with a complicated expression: "Mrs. Li, can you take a step to speak?" ”
This woman deliberately bit the three words of Mrs. Li very hard, and seemed to have a faint tone of disdain.
"Come here." Zhou Xian glanced at the doors and windows and calmed his breath.
The woman approached and said coldly, "My Ah Lang is afraid that you can't confirm that it is someone he sent, so he specially sent me, have you seen me?" If it weren't for that, I really wouldn't want to do that. ”
Zhou Xian said coldly: "What is he doing business, you speak directly, you don't have to say what is useful or not." ”
Jing Niang said: "Turn left when you go out of the hall, and then go south, you can see Daxiangguo Temple, the largest 'Tokyo Spring Tea' building in the north of the temple, go upstairs to see my family." ”
Jing Niang's tone was very stiff: "Your husband is now going to see the Ministry of Rites, and he can't come back before dark." ”
Zhou Xian said coldly: "He inquired very clearly. ”
Jing Niang said: "What inquiry? Wang Pu invited your husband, who was instigated by Ah Lang, saying that he wanted to befriend the Southern Tang Kingdom. ”
Jing Niang's tone made Zhou Xian feel an insult, and he was ashamed and annoyed, and blurted out at the moment: "Don't go!" What he wants to do is bright and bright, I am not his person, what kind of friendship does he have, why can he come and go as soon as he calls? ”
"Really?" Jing Niang asked, looking Zhou Xian up and down.
Zhou Xian said: "If you don't go, you won't go." You can go, don't stay. ”
Jing Niang nodded: "Then I'll go back and say something." ”
After Zhou Xian waited for her to leave, he grabbed the teacup on the table, and wanted to fall down in the air, but finally put it back on the table heavily. Her chest rose and fell with anger, and her face flushed.
After grinding for a long time, she realized: This matter is completely due to the incompetence of that Jing Niang, otherwise what would Guo Shaofei do so much? But Guo Shao doesn't seem to have a better choice, something like this that she has to go out privately must make sure that she is the person sent by Guo Shao; Otherwise, Zhou Xian would not easily go out without permission for safety. Zhou Xian couldn't confirm Guo Shao's handwriting, what kind of handwriting could there be in the letter last time, written with his left hand!
Zhou Xian can't blame Guo Shao, only blame the most unreliable thing about women! It's just that there is only one person around him who has seen him.
She understood that it had nothing to do with Guo Shao, but her mood had been completely ruined. If it were normal, she would never have hesitated...... But today, it's the last chance to say goodbye.
Zhou Xian hesitated for a while, always feeling that he couldn't feel at ease. At the moment, I was very impetuous, and I was not in the mood to do anything at all, so I was worried about what had just happened.
"Someone!" She finally shouted, stood up, frowned, and said, "Go and ask someone to prepare the carriage and horses, and I will go to my cousin's house to say goodbye to her." ”
The slave and maid answered and went out. Zhou Xian hurriedly entered the house to find a relatively new clothes to change into, looked at the bronze mirror, and quickly changed again; Then I cleaned up my hair in the mirror and applied some light makeup to touch it up, especially my lips, which have not yet adapted to the winter climate in Tokyo, and my hair is a little dry, so I need to apply some rouge to look better.
After tossing and turning, Zhou Xiancai pondered, he had rejected Jingniang just now, and Guo Shao was still waiting stupidly in the teahouse? This powerful general, I'm afraid he doesn't have so much spare time to do such useless idle things.
Zhou Xian was suddenly depressed, feeling that nothing was going well today! You can't do anything!
At this moment, the slave said, "Madam, the carriage and horses are ready." ”
"Hmm." Zhou Xian pulled his face and stood up expressionlessly. Completely unpurposeful to do this, maybe...... It's okay to make a special trip to say goodbye to Chen Jiali, but there's nothing to do anyway. Although she and Chen Jiali are intrigued, the contradictions have not yet reached the level of tearing their faces and not getting along, and most of the relationships between the family and the court are not like this?
The streets of Tokyo are still very peaceful, and although this is a war-torn country, this is the capital of the city. Each street has at least one official shop, which is on duty day and night to maintain law and order. There are also forbidden troops stationed on the important roads.
Zhou Xian took a carriage all the way to Chen Jiali's mansion in the west of the city.
As soon as she said goodbye to Chen Jiali, Chen Jiali covered her mouth and laughed softly: "I think you want to ask someone to help, see General Guo, right?" ”
Zhou Xian said: "We are going to leave for Jinling tomorrow, but he sent someone to say goodbye, but I refused." I'm afraid I'm gone to the place where he made an appointment now. ”
"Where?" Chen Jiali said, "If my cousin regrets rejecting him, it's not a big deal. Let's go see if he's not there; If he is gone, I will send someone to tell him to go again, what a big deal. ”
Zhou Xian was silent.
Chen Jiali glanced at her with a smile, turned around and called Aunt Sun in, and instructed: "After settling the people brought by my cousin, she said that she was going to eat in the house." A few more people were sent, and my cousin and I were going on a trip. ”
At this point, Zhou Xian said: "Just go and see, if he is gone, send me back." It's not that there is anything important, you must see ...... I just want to thank him for helping my husband...... That's all. ”
Chen Jiali said seriously: "General Guo has helped a lot, compared to my cousin's loss, it is nothing." We should still be a little more thoughtful in terms of etiquette. ”
