Chapter 178: Tea has the scent of rouge flowers

Guo Shao's expression changed, and he couldn't take his eyes off Mrs. Chen for a while. It's no wonder that he saw a beautiful woman with soft legs, in fact, Guo Shao felt that his holding power was okay, and he was not short of women, so there was no need to be too greedy for beautiful women; But I only blame that there are too many beauties in this world, which are too amazing. Is it true that heroes and beauties are born in troubled times?

No wonder people are so pretentious, Guo Shao, a senior general of the Great Zhou Forbidden Army, is rare to see. Otherwise, if she often shows up with this look, she doesn't know how much right and wrong she will provoke.

No wonder the head of the Shen family insisted on marrying this one regardless of the pros and cons of marriage. Guo Shao estimated that if the dead head of the Shen family was a person who was interested in beauty, let alone marriage, even if he asked him to exchange more than half of the family property, he was also willing. Sometimes people consider the pros and cons and make wise choices, simply because the temptation is not enough.

Of course, Guo Shao felt that Mrs. Chen's appearance was a little worse than Fu's second sister; What's more, Second Sister Fu is not only beautiful to him.

However, Chen Jiali and Fu Ermei are not the same kind of people at all, and they are meaningless in comparison.

A face in the veil that is extremely beautiful, with a smile, so beautiful at first glance, and a slight smile on the left cheek like white jade is a dimple; But the gaze in his eyes was full of thoughts...... It seems to be sophisticated, but it is not vicissitudes, and it is very divine, as if it is always interested in all things in the world. The look in his eyes was not at all the weariness of a person who had been ored, nor was it the weariness of the dust; But it's as curious and clear as a new life.

She has experience, insight, and vision, otherwise she would not be willing to lose a large amount of benefits and want to make friends with Guo Shao; Even if a big businessman makes money every day, people don't pick it up when they make some money. But her experience did not allow her to show the vicissitudes of life (the bureaucrats Guo Shao has seen in the officialdom will be vicissitudes again, such as Li Gu, who is only in his early thirties)...... Mrs. Chen is not like that, but she remains beautiful and optimistic.

Two completely contradictory things were displayed on a woman's face at the same time, and they were very strong, which really made Guo Shao feel very strange.

If you are touched by the eyes of Queen Fu or the second sister, you will be moved by the warm touch like a spring breeze; Then when Mrs. Chen looks at it, she will feel full of spirit, her emotions will be raised, and she will feel that everything is colorful, rich and interesting.

"The concubine said that she should make tea with spring water and entertain General Guo to make up for the rude when we met in the downtown last time." Mrs. Chen stepped forward, knelt down beside several cases, and put the wooden plates, clay pots, and small cups one by one.

At this time, Guo Shao noticed that although her voice was crisp and gentle, there was a powerful qi hidden in it, so the words were correct and round. With needles in the cotton, Guo Shao thought of this word.

She and the Yang family, who is soft and weak as water, have essential differences in temperament.

Guo Shaoxing said excitedly: "I am fortunate to drink the tea made by Mrs. Chen, and I must taste it well." ”

He forgot about the fight and the pressure for a while, and his interest was very high, as if there was a momentum in his heart, and he instinctively had the urge to express himself in front of her...... It's like some people pretending to be full of interest in this world and this life before they do those useless things; With that kind of mood, there will be mood, demeanor, elegance and so on. If people think that this world is bleak and there is no joy in life, what do they care about those things?

Guo Shao secretly sighed: Pretending is also a kind of love for life and a high-spirited mentality.

"Knock knock knock ......" The clear light green tea flows from the spout into a wonderful arc and falls accurately from the height into the teacup. The white jade-like fingers, the delicate nails depicted, the movements are smooth and graceful, like a dance.

A thin puff of white smoke rose from the surface of the teacup, filling the cold hall with a vivid vitality out of thin air, like fog and smoke.

In the faint fragrance of tea, Guo Shao felt that the tea itself was no longer important, and with such a posture, any mood was spontaneously born. That's what it feels like!

He couldn't help but smile and said, "The color here is dull, there is no bright color, and even the furnishings are wood. It was supposed to be a boring place...... But with Mrs. Chen here, all this immediately has a soul, as if there is a unique elegance and poetry. ”

Mrs. Chen pursed her lips and chuckled, her left cheek showing a dimple. She picked up the teacup with her middle finger and thumb, gently supported the bottom of the cup with the fingers of her other hand, and brought it up with both hands, saying: "I only said that General Guo is a generous and righteous brave man, but I didn't expect you to be flamboyant." ”

Guo Shao shook his head lightly and praised: "I'm not complimenting, Madam is really a wonderful person, who can turn decay into magic." Mrs. is independent, soft and rigid, not only can make people feel loved, but also have some admiration...... "Guo Shao was careful to pick up the teacup, he didn't want to take the opportunity to touch other people's fingers and do it too frivolously.

The two of them were fighting fiercely as if no one was around, but Guo Shao hadn't touched the cup yet, and suddenly Jing Niang next to him bent down and gently pressed his wrist, and said expressionlessly: "This first cup, let me drink it first." ”

The atmosphere of happiness just now immediately froze in mid-air. Mrs. Chen's smile disappeared little by little, and she said coldly: "This lady, don't you suspect that I will do something in the tea?" ”

Jing Niang replied: "Are we very familiar with you, why can't I doubt it?" ”

"Jing Niang is also well-intentioned, she has no other meaning, and please Mrs. Chen not to blame her." Guo Shao was busy with the round field.

He didn't feel any danger, he could probably still see that if he didn't have a sense of trust in Chen Jiali, then why did he come here today...... If you shrink back because you are in danger of being assassinated, which affects the expansion of your network power, then you will lose food because of choking.

But he is not a social old fritter after all, and the round field is not good, which is obviously only defending Jingniang, but does not dispel the meaning of "suspicion".

Sure enough, Mrs. Chen was unhappy, took back the teacup in her hand, and took a sip of it herself. The temperature of the water in the teapot should be placed at the right temperature, and the slender water line when pouring tea from a high place is cool again, and it is not hot. Mrs. Chen took a sip and then drank the whole cup of tea.

Guo Shao sat there awkwardly for a while, not knowing what to say. There is nothing wrong with Jing Niang, she also cares about her own safety, and she uses herself to tempt, and when she can't see a beautiful woman, she scolds Jing Niang to dissipate her anger for the beauty; But Mrs. Chen is also kind, this time she offended her inexplicably, the preparation for mutual understanding and contact in the early stage, and the gradual establishment of mutual trust are not in vain?

Mrs. Chen drank a cup of tea, glanced at Guo Shao, then quietly refilled it, and then handed it over, and the faint voice implied provocation: "General Guo, do you dare to drink it now?" ”

This word "dare" is really powerful! Guo Shao took the cup, and suddenly saw a light red lip print on the edge, this cup was drunk by Mrs. Chen just now! I just didn't pay attention to what I was talking about. Guo Shao was stunned...... But I don't know if she was unintentional or intentional.

If it is unintentional, it must be angry and negligent. If it is intentional, is it to deliberately indicate that the cup has not been changed and there is no poison on the cup? Or something else?

Guo Shao was hard to guess, and he couldn't say anything when he saw this very light lip print, the tea cup was already in his hand, so he had to drink it like this. At this moment, I suddenly saw Mrs. Chen's cheeks flush, and she opened her mouth to stop talking, and her embarrassed and shy appearance suddenly became vivid, and the embarrassment just now was naturally resolved and replaced by a new unspeakable embarrassment.

There was a brief cold scene for a while. Jing Niang stood silent, and Yang sat just smiling and didn't intervene at all. and that Aunt Sun, who should only serve Mrs. Chen's subordinates, let alone care about her master's affairs.

In this cold field, Guo Shao can taste this tea carefully...... To be honest, he didn't know what was good about the tea, it seemed to taste smoother than ordinary tea, and the aroma was good, but that's all. He was so bad at it that he didn't understand the difference. However, he drank the tea, with a faint floral rouge flavor...... The rouge on that lip. The light tea taste is mixed with rouge, and the elegant feeling has been completely destroyed, and the two compartments are stirred, and there is an indescribable feeling.

Guo Shao finally broke the silence and said, "This tea is good, and it has a floral fragrance." ”

Mrs. Chen's face turned redder when she heard this.

Other people have drunk teacups, but beautiful women have drunk them, Guo Shao said that he was not disgusted at all, and his heartstrings became sensitive, just like the bowstring between the machines at that moment.

…… But Guo Shao didn't want to pay attention to the strange thoughts between the women.

He finally remembered what he was here for today, what was most important to him. After pondering for a moment, he said: "I can't hide it, I took the liberty to visit Mrs. Chen today, because I wanted to discuss some things, but I didn't know ......" He said and looked slightly sideways at Aunt Sun next to him.

Mrs. Chen also accepted the teacup and said softly: "Aunt Sun has been by the concubine's side for more than 20 years. ”

After listening to this, Guo Shao thought that Chen Jiali was only in her early twenties at most, and this Aunt Sun was probably the person who had served by her side since she was born.

Guo Shao pondered for a long time, but he didn't speak for a long time. Seeing this, Chen Jiali said again: "The concubine knows that General Guo is a military general, so she won't care." You don't have to worry too much about the etiquette, if there is anything, just tell the concubine directly. ”

"That's good." Guo Shao nodded and said, "It's not a secret, there is a military plane that is not a secret, and everyone in the court knows about it, but it is not secret; But the people may not know about it yet. The imperial court has decided to invade the Liao Kingdom in the north. ”

Mrs. Chen immediately listened attentively and looked very concerned. If he hadn't known her details in advance, seeing that she was so interested in military affairs, Guo Shao might have suspected that she was a spy in the Liao Kingdom.

Guo Shaodao: "I am the general of the Guards Division, and I will definitely lead some of the important elite troops of the Zhou army, and I dare not play with it." The art of war is cloudy, knowing oneself and knowing the other side will not be defeated in a hundred battles. I want to know more about the geography and climate of Youzhou and other places before the war breaks out, and know some detailed information about the military and political affairs, defense deployment, and troop composition of the Liao State. However, because there was no way for a while, it was very dangerous to send scouts into enemy territory, and it was not easy to go deeper. If you ask the average businessman, you may only know a little scratch about it.

So I have an idea, when my wife's trading house goes to Youzhou to buy and sell, I will install some of my people in the merchant gang and borrow an identity to go to Liaoguo to collect intelligence. Of course, for the sake of mutually beneficial cooperation, I also thought of what I could to give you something in return......"
