Guo Shao has been busy expanding his armaments for a while, and he is full of energy all day long. But in the "Qin State Mansion" is a different situation, the Qin State Mansion is an ordinary mansion with a plaque hanging on it; The door is full of birds, and it is a very boring place.

Mrs. Hua Rui held the chopsticks and lowered her head to wander, thinking in her heart: Guo Shao seems to have forgotten himself.

At this moment, a few "babaa" sounds were heard, and Mrs. Blossom was startled and looked up to the side. Seeing Meng Chang's annoyed face, he "snapped" the chopsticks in his hand and was still on the table, and immediately scolded: "What a thing!" There was sand in the rice! ”

"The master is angry, and he blames the slave for not picking it up." Eunuch Wei Zhong hurriedly bent down and said.

Mrs. Hua Rui said quietly: "The rice is harvested, if there are no stone stalls around, only to dry on the earthen dam, there is usually sand mixed in it, it is difficult to pick." Ah Lang will just do it. ”

Meng Chang said angrily: "Don't eat it!" If there is no wine, there is no meat in the dish, what's the matter with the blandness and tastelessness? ”

Wei Zhong said: "Salt is very expensive, two hundred wen a catty. ”

"Am I not the Duke of Qin? Where is Yulu, I can't afford to eat salt? Meng Chang frowned and asked.

Wei Zhong glanced back, stepped forward and whispered, "Two hundred wen is just the price on the market...... The officials of the Xuanhui Yuan are guarding here, and if they want to go out to buy things, or ask them to buy things on their behalf, the price will have to rise at least tenfold. There is also the good Yulu, which has not been seen yet. We don't have much money, and we see less every day, and the slave family can only save a little for the master. ”

After hearing this, Madame Hua Rui reached out and untied a necklace from her neck and handed it to Wei Zhong: "Find a way to exchange some money." ”

Wei Zhong hurriedly shook his head: "There are still some more." Madame can't help it, this thing is exchanged for money, and I don't know how many will be left after I get it. It's better to keep it. ”

Mrs. Hua Rui stuffed it into Wei Zhong's hand: "It's useless for me to take it, I can exchange a few for a few." ”

Meng Chang stood up, walked around the dining table with his hands behind his back, panted for a while, held on to the table and said: "Zhou Imperial Court has made a good face, what Qin Guogong,!" What is the difference between Lao Tzu and a prisoner? ”

"Ah Lang, don't be impatient, don't let people hear." Madame Hua Rui pointed to the door and said softly, "You were once the lord of Shu and the lord of tens of millions of people in Shu, so the court will naturally be wary. Stay up for a while, and when they think that Ah Lang is not a threat, and when Shu has been stabilized, the imperial court naturally has no need to waste manpower to take care of it, and life can slowly get better. ”

She thought for a while and said, "I heard that there are many civil and military forces of the Shu Kingdom that have been reused by the imperial court, and these people have all received the favor of Ah Lang; You are also the Duke of Qin who is rightfully given by the royal family, can you still find no one to help you in the future? Ah Lang has a little patience, and it will not be difficult to have a rich life in the future...... It's much easier than those who were born poor. ”

She pulled Meng Chang to sit down: "Eat some more food and take care of your body." Maybe after a period of pure heart and few desires, Ah Lang's body that was crushed by those monks can be healed. ”

"Don't worry, this kind of hard life will soon come to an end." Meng Chang suddenly had a slight excitement on his face, "You're right, I still have a lot of courtiers." ”

Madame Blossom observed his emotions, and her intuition was a little wrong, and after thinking for a while, she suddenly asked, "Where is Li De?" ”

"I told him to run errands." Meng Chang snorted.

Madame Hua Rui hurriedly asked, "What is Ah Lang going to do?" ”

Meng Chang whispered mysteriously: "Gao Yanyu and Hou Mao are back in charge of the Great Shu Forbidden Army, and I will send someone to contact him in order to make a big deal!" ”

Mrs. Hua Rui suddenly lost her face, her face immediately turned white, and the chopsticks fell from her hand, and she fell on the rice bowl with a "bang" and jumped to the ground. She grabbed Meng Chang's sleeve, tears flashed in her eyes, and she couldn't cry anymore, "Ah Lang...... Why can't you live a good life? Why do you do that......

"What kind of life is it like?" Meng Chang stared at Mrs. Hua Rui, "Trembling is not as good as a pig and a dog!" Maybe one day the poisonous wine will be sent again, and it will be a good day? ”

Mrs. Hua Rui cried for a while, then took out a handkerchief to wipe away her tears, lowered her head and faced Meng Chang, she was speechless, and the atmosphere became cold. Only the jingle of Wei Zhong and the only remaining maid colliding with the bowl was left.

In fact, even if she is down now, she thinks it's okay, and there are still slaves waiting for her to work. In the villages, some small rich and small landlords who have a lot of property in the local area do not have slaves and maids to serve. So even if she changes from a pampered princess to the way she is now, Madame Blossom can still bear it; But in my heart, I was restless, and I never lived in peace...... In the past, there were still large areas of territory and many armies in the Great Shu Kingdom, and that worry was very vague; And now that the threat is gradually magnifying, Madame Hua Rui has finally woken up, she feels that Meng Chang is simply unreliable!

I don't know what's going on, he's unreliable when he does something from time to time. Maybe it's because of the long-term addiction to wine-colored arts, or maybe it's because of the great foundation left by (Shu) Gaozu and can afford to toss......

Just then, a scribe walked out of the hall. Seeing this, Wei Zhong, the eunuch with fine skin and tender meat, greeted him out, and the two of them muttered outside the door for a while. Wei Zhong turned around and said, "Wang Zhenfu, the governor of Xuanhui Academy, is in the room outside, saying that he has something important to see his wife. ”

Madame Hua Rui immediately remembered that Meng Chang sent someone to contact the generals of the Shu army, and in Tokyo, others were obviously very wary, and I am afraid that such a small move would be revealed quickly. But she immediately felt that something was not right: "The officials of the Zhou Dynasty should see Ah Lang if they have something, what are they doing when they see me as a woman?" ”

Wei Zhong said: "That person didn't say anything, he just said that he wanted to discuss something important with his wife, please be sure to see it." ”

Meng Chang listened and said, "I'll go with my wife." ”

So the three of them walked to the entrance of the cave, but were stopped by a scribe: "Governor Wang only saw Mrs. Hua Rui, you wait first." ”

Mrs. Hua Rui said: "It's not etiquette for me to go to meet people, since you don't see Qin Guogong, then forget it." ”

The scribe said: "Then you are free, the Xuanhui Yuan is in charge of the affairs of the old ministers, and there are some things that can be interceded now." ”

"What's the matter?" Madame Blossom asked with a frown.

The scribe said, "I don't know, I heard it's a big deal." ”

Madame Hua Rui hesitated for a moment, and finally went to see Wang Zhenfu, wanting to determine whether Meng Chang had been exposed. It's more uncomfortable to worry about it in your heart than to know the worst outcome.

Madame Hua Rui came out of the cave door and was taken to the door of a side room not far away, where she saw a rich lady in her forties and fifties sitting at the table and waiting. The official was tall and fat, with a large, small-eyed face and a greasy look, and the sideburns on both sides of the black gauze hat were already gray.

"The concubine has seen Governor Wang." Madame Blossom made a blessing at the door.

Wang Zhenfu's small eyes stared at Mrs. Hua Rui, and immediately lit up. Madame Blossom is now dressed very plainly, wearing an old light blue skirt, and the silk material is in line with her status as a duchess of the country, but because of the situation, she does not dare to dress too brightly, and her old clothes have faded. However, her beautiful face with bright eyes and bright teeth and fair and smooth skin can't be hidden, as well as bulging breasts and graceful figure, which are also rare in the world.

"Come in, let's sit down and talk." Wang Zhenfu excitedly picked up the teapot and poured her a cup of tea.

Madame Hua Rui stood still, and asked softly, "But I don't know what happened when Governor Wang summoned a concubine?" ”

Wang Zhenfu owed, and there was a gesture of wanting to stand up, but he finally stabilized, took out a letter and threw it on the table: "You came in first, do you want everyone to know about this by talking like this?" Madame should know what this letter is about. ”

"I don't know about the concubine." Madame Blossom frowned and glanced at the table.

Wang Zhenfu said coldly: "Meng Chang is secretly communicating with Gao Yanyu, and he intends to rebel!" Don't pretend, can you know such a big thing? ”

Mrs. Hua Rui's heart was tense, believing that the letter was true, otherwise Wang Zhenfu would not have used the secret letter to blackmail at this time. She felt her mind sinking down, a panic that something was coming.

Wang Zhenfu said again: "Madame, do you know, what will happen to you if you hand over this letter?" ”

Mrs. Hua Rui is also thinking about the end, the imperial court probably didn't want to support Meng Chang in the first place, and let him live just to show benevolence; Now that he has obtained real evidence, he can blatantly get rid of Meng Chang...... What about himself, will he be buried with him, or will he kill Meng Chang and be robbed to be a concubine?

Will Guo Shao snatch her, Mrs. Hua Rui has no bottom in her heart now, Guo Shao doesn't seem to value herself very much, and she seems to have forgotten about it if she has ignored it for so long...... He is a young and extremely popular person, younger than himself, rich and promising, and he can't see that he is lustful, and he has so many concubines and palace maids in Chengdu Mansion, he has not moved; He and Wang Zhaoyuan's daughter took the initiative to offer colors, but he was unmoved. Thinking about it like this, Guo Shao is really not willing to rob himself, if he wants to do such a thing, he may have done it a long time ago.

So Madame Blossom did not say anything, but her face had become very pale.

Wang Zhenfu breathed a sigh of relief and said kindly: "As long as you listen to me, we will quietly burn this letter, not play it, and destroy the credentials as if nothing happened." ”

"How does Governor Wang want me to listen to you?" Mrs. Blossom's mouth was depressed, and her face was like ashes.

Wang Zhenfu said: "You come in first." ”

Madame Blossom did not know what to do, so she stepped into the doorway, but she was careful to watch out for this strange bureaucrat. The first time she met this man, of course she didn't trust him, and the light in Governor Wang's little eyes was obviously full of lust and ill will, and Madame Blossom's heart was raised in her throat.

Fortunately, Wang Zhenfu didn't make any drastic movements to scare Mrs. Hua Rui, he just said calmly: "I don't believe you still don't understand what I mean, as long as you ......" Wang Zhenfu's gaze moved from Mrs. Hua Rui's beautiful face to her full breasts that she couldn't hide.

Mrs. Blossom's scalp suddenly tingled, and she felt an uncomfortable chill on her body.
