The sun outside the lobby was dusty and foggy, and the sound of horses' hooves was full of hustle and bustle.

Zan Jurun rubbed his sore shoulder and talked with great interest. Guo Shao's attentive eyes full of interest gave him encouragement, and Zan Ju Runyi was simply gushing when he said it.

Guo Shao listened while flipping through the file drawings in his hand, and after a while stretched out his palm. Zan Jurun subconsciously wanted to hide, and after a while, he gritted his teeth and stood there; Seeing this, Guo Shao changed the direction of his hand and stroked his back, and said kindly: "These things provided by Envoy Zan are very attentive, I didn't find out your virtuous ability before, it's really a mistake. ”

"Don't dare, don't dare to call a Magi." Zan Jurun said busily.

Guo Shao put away the paper in his hand and said: "As Zan Envoy Jun said, Han Tong led the water division to go south from Bianshui to the south, and the attack on the Southern Tang Dynasty is well known to passers-by. In this battle, I want to form a marching shogunate, and I want to ask the privy envoy Wang Pu to preside over it. ”

Zan Jurun listened to it and groaned: "Xia Guan has always admired Guo Dashuai......"

The two glanced at each other, and Guo Shao smiled: "Let's not talk about personal relations first, I still have something I want to ask for help from Envoy Zan Jun." ”

"Please ask Guo Dashuai to command." Zan Jurun arched his hand.

Guo Shaodao: "A few years ago, I was ordered to attack Qin Feng, and I once submitted a topographic map and combat strategy; Maps are size-sensitive, strategic and information-oriented, and easy to use and consult. The things should now be stored in the Privy Council, and the envoy went to the Privy Council to find the king's envoy and borrowed the thing in my name, and rearranged a copy of the quarry rock and the terrain of the river...... In this way, I will save trouble, I wonder if the envoy is willing to do it for me? ”

Zan Jurun thought for a while: "I'll try it first?" ”

Guo Shao handed him back the stack of papers in his hand and said, "Envoy Zan must have that talent." ”

…… As usual, Guo Shao's range of activities was only between the palace, the front division of the palace, and the military camp, and then went straight home. It was still early today, so he asked Lu Chengyong to go to the weaving shop in Dongshi to ask if the clothes he had ordered a few days ago were ready; When he got his things, he went home with two packages.

At this time, the gossip of the war is spreading everywhere in Tokyo, and it can't be hidden; Half a month ago, a large number of warships went south on Bianshui, but anyone with a little insight could guess with their toes what the imperial court was going to do...... If you don't fight the Southern Tang Dynasty, there is no need to transfer so many sailors from the central government.

But Guo Shao was still calm, and there was no panic and nervousness at all. His life and rest are very regular, he gets up in the morning to exercise, goes straight and goes home. He doesn't make friends with ordinary people, and he hardly does anything concrete; But everything he thinks and does is very keen and careful. It's like the state of mind after bathing and fasting.

When I first returned to the living room hall on the south shore of the nameless lake in the back garden, there was no one here; Because Guo Shao came back early today, the family members have their own affairs during the day. But soon Fu Ermei and others came over one after another, helping Guo Shao take off the leather armor on his body and change into loose and comfortable regular clothes. Second Sister Fu is the hostess, but she is not a strict woman, and Guo Shao doesn't care about any family etiquette, so that the rules in the house are very relaxed; But people will take care of it in front of people, and they will naturally pay attention to their words and deeds so that they can look more decent, so no one is playing around for a while.

At this moment, Second Sister Fu picked up the package that Guo Shao put on the table and asked, "What did the husband bring back, I'll help you clean it up." ”

Guo Shao said calmly: "The clothes I bought for you, do you want to see how they fit?" ”

After hearing this, Fu Ermei immediately opened the package in surprise, took out two sets of dresses from it, and unfolded it to see. Li Yuan'er, Yang Yue'e and others also looked sideways, looking at the light red clothes in Fu Ermei's hands with great interest.

"Oh......" Second Sister Fu smiled, "It's so loose, my husband bought it specifically for me and Li Yuan'er!" ”

Guo Shao said: "It's the clothes worn by pregnant women, I see that your stomachs are gradually bulging, and I am afraid that those clothes will be tighter before." ”

Second Sister Fu's face was flushed, she looked up at him and pursed her lips, and said happily, "I'll go in and change it for you." ”

"Wait, the second sister took this one for Yuan'er, and the clothes in the other package are yours." Guo Shaodao.

Fu Ermei smiled: "The two of us are different? ”

"Of course not." Guo Shao turned his head to look at Li Yuan'er, and said seriously, "Anyway, they are all loose clothes, so you don't have to care too much about the size." However, I think Yuan'er's appearance is more rounded, and his plain temperament is also more elegant, and he may like to wear light pigments a little more elegantly. ”

Li Yuan'er's eyes flickered, lowered her eyebrows, and said embarrassedly: "Thank you Ah Lang for giving me clothes." ”

"Haha......" Guo Shao smiled, "What are you polite to the family?" ”

Seeing that the second sister Fu went to pick up another package, Guo Shao said: "Madame's complexion is white and her facial features are more beautiful, but it is better to wear a darker color, which can have a contrasting effect, and there is a set of cyan and red in it...... That's my opinion, so I bought it as I thought. ”

Second Sister Fu was a little carried away with joy, and said coquettishly: "Anyway, I'm wearing it for you." With that, he picked up the package and ran to the bedroom.

After a while, Fu Ermei returned from the bedroom, she had changed into the loose jacket skirt, the blouse did not need to be put in the skirt to look very wide, and the waist had indeed become a little clumsy, not as delicate as before. But her movements were still light and flexible, and she turned around in front of Guo Shao with a smile: "Husband, look at how I dress?" ”

"You'd better slow down and be steady." Guo Shao said, "It's very good-looking, but in fact, people are good-looking, so they don't pick clothes." ”

Fu Ermei covered her face and said, "How embarrassed you are to say this in public......"

The atmosphere that was originally relatively dull gradually became noisy. As soon as Fu Ermei was in a good mood, she didn't care about her identity and stability, and laughed in front of Guo Shao. Guo Shao just smiled, watching them jokingly and talking, and he was in a good mood. A good woman will make people feel that everything is beautiful.

At this time, Yulian said: "I'll go to the kitchen first, today Ah Lang and his wife are happy, I'll cook." ”

Guo Shao nodded.

Fu Ermei praised happily: "Yulian is skillful, and the dishes are delicious." She sat down at the table, took a sip of tea, and finally stopped.

Only then did Guo Shao mention: "I'm going to go on the expedition again in a while." ”

Fu Ermei and Li Yuan'er stopped talking.

Guo Shao said: "The second sister still goes to the palace, and your eldest sister can accompany you to take care of you...... Yuan'er, how about you go back to Li's house for a while? That's what I thought, I'm not in Tokyo, and your mother's relatives are closer and more familiar, so it's better. ”

Li Yuan'er said softly: "The concubine will follow Ah Lang's arrangement." ”

Guo Shao groaned: "If the battle against the Southern Tang Dynasty can be concluded within half a year, I will return to Beijing before you give birth...... I hope it can be solved quickly. ”

Second Sister Fu said: "Husband, don't worry too much about your own private affairs, I can tell the weight clearly." ”

"With me, I won't let your mother and son suffer." Guo Shao said, "...... Soon I will be able to stabilize the situation. ”

The three of them talked for a while, and Guo Shao pretended to think about things alone and paced by the lake. Then he quietly paced to the kitchen to the east, and saw Yulian busy cutting meat inside, and a stout woman washing vegetables in a wooden barrel beside her. The woman found Guo Shao first, and immediately stood up, blushing and unable to speak for a long time, these people were stupid, they didn't ask her to speak, she didn't know how to say.

"Alang?" Yulian turned her head to look at Guo Shao with a look of surprise.

Guo Shao raised his chin towards the door, and the stout woman got up and went out.

Yulian said: "Why did you come to the kitchen, what do you want to tell me?" ”

Guo Shao said: "In another month or two, you can help me take care of someone." ”

"Who?" Yulian saw that Guo Shao's tone was calm, so she went back to her own work and asked casually.

Guo Shao groaned: "Jing Niang will talk to you when the time comes...... How do you wear old clothes? I remember buying you clothes and some silk material. ”

Yulian said softly: "I often have to work, it's a pity that the silk and satin are easy to get dirty, and I keep those good clothes and wear them during the New Year's Festival or when I meet guests." ”

Guo Shao suddenly remembered that when she went to Longjinfang to pick up Yulian to this courtyard a few years ago, she almost couldn't eat enough at that time, but she had decent clothes. She's not a faceless woman.

"You don't have to work, I didn't hire a cook." Guo Shaodao.

Yulian said: "I'm not like Sister Yang who knows piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and it's better to do some work." ”

She turned her head to look at Guo Shao and said with a smile: "I know what you have in mind...... I'm really satisfied, and I cherish my days. It's like before, you have to keep your head down when you go out, there are always people scolding behind you, and you don't know if someone will bully you one day, and you are full of anger. Now even if I am a concubine, no one will look down on me. ”

Guo Shao was also not polite, and replied: "That's the same, don't talk about the concubine room, Mrs. Hua Rui is just confused and has nothing to do with me, and no one dares to do anything to her." ”

He thought for a moment, and then whispered: "It won't be long before I will make you more dignified and gain a truly justifiable and honorable status." ”

Yulian stopped with the kitchen knife in her hand after hearing this, and after a while, she lowered her head and said without looking back: "I know that Ah Lang is measured, and he won't do anything that he is not sure of." I can't help you with a woman's big things, I just want you to be good and be cautious. ”

"Yulian rest assured, just wait." Guo Shao paced a few steps behind his back in the kitchen, "I am now clear and in good shape." ”

Yulian didn't even know much about words, but from her performance, she should understand what Guo Shao wanted to do. Guo Shao has known her for a long time, and of course he can trust her.

A woman from a maid background and a rough background, when she knew that she might become an imperial concubine, she was speechless......
