Gao Yanyan said goodbye, and Guo Shao got up to send him out. He passed by Mrs. Hua Rui and turned his head and said, "Madame, sit here for a while, and I'll send General Gao off." ”

His tone of voice was very casual, and his gaze was hurried, but it was just such a sentence that made Mrs. Hua Rui inexplicably feel a kind of care and concern...... It's like family and close friends, when they want to do something, they usually say hello, which is very casual and natural.

In just one sentence, Guo Shao does have an indescribable meaning to people. No wonder Gao Yanyan and Guo Shao get along so happily.

"Hmm." Madame Blossom replied softly. At this time, she completely felt inferiority and panic, and seemed to have forgotten her situation. It's amazing that before meeting Guo Shao, Mrs. Hua Rui still felt that she was a person who could be homeless at any time, had no sense of trust in the world, and was full of uncertainty about the future; But for a while, she suddenly felt very relieved.

Guo Shao disappeared outside the door, and Mrs. Hua Rui sat in the living room a little bored and waited.

She couldn't help but reach out and touch her cheek, the injury from a few days ago was almost healed, and she shouldn't be able to see any flaws. But before I came today, she was in a bad mood and was not interested in anything, she didn't dress up, she didn't even wear a little light makeup, and she didn't pick out her clothes...... Wouldn't you be a little embarrassed now? Madame Blossom was a little annoyed.

After a while, Guo Shao returned to the living room, Mrs. Hua Rui lowered her gaze, only the two of them were left, and she suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

Guo Shao sat down on the chair next to her, and the two of them were separated by a coffee table. He opened his mouth and said: "The Shu Kingdom has perished, and the imperial court is still kind to the monarchs and ministers of the Shu Kingdom. The matter of Qin Guogong writing a secret letter is really regrettable; But as long as he doesn't do that kind of thing in the future, safety can still be guaranteed. Madame can rest assured, don't worry. ”

Madame Hua Rui hurriedly said: "Ah Lang is very remorseful and scared now. ”

Thinking of Meng Chang's happy performance of going out in high spirits this morning, leaving all dangers behind, her face was slightly hot.

"Since Qin Guogong regretted it, there is still a chance now." Guo Shao said gently, "Madame, believe in my sincerity. There are many monarchs in the world, except for the Northern Han Dynasty, only the lord of Shu is unwilling to give up the throne. If the imperial court could tolerate even the lord of Shu, the other monarchs would not be so worried...... Especially the lord of Wu Yue. ”

Madame Blossom immediately believed him, for it was true. This kind of consideration, even she didn't think about it, Guo Shao thought farther than her.

She observed Guo Shao quietly, and felt that his appearance was not so attractive, probably because he was a little tanned and his skin was relatively rough, and he was not a person who could make a woman like it when she saw it, it was very ordinary. But if you stay with him a little longer, and pay attention, Madame Blossom will feel a clean and comfortable aura from him...... Maybe it's because of the white teeth that show when he speaks, and although his face is a little dark, his teeth are very clean; Perhaps it was his upright sitting posture, humble and gentle restraint temperament; Or maybe it's his old, but well-washed clothes.

In short, Mrs. Hua Rui felt that the man in front of her had no smell of wind and dust at all, and he was not stained with the breath of power at all. Although she has a low background, she has indeed seen many powerful people, and the woman's intuition is also very sensitive, so she has never seen someone like Guo Shao.

At this moment, a young military general walked in, hugged his fists and said, "My lord, Cao Bin asks to see you." ”

"Cao Bin is back in Tokyo?" Guo Shao said, "You go and welcome him in." ”

"Whoa." The general replied.

Mrs. Hua Rui hurriedly said: "I'm here to delay Guo Du's inspection, right?" ”

"Haha, I don't know what's going on today, the guests I want to see are the people I want to meet." Guo Shao said with a smile, "I don't have so many guests to see at home, and I don't have to show up in person for most people...... There's a screen inside, and Madame will sit in the back for a while. Cao Bin may not stay long, and I don't know him very well. ”

Madame Blossom got up and changed places as she was told. At this time, Guo Shao also walked out of the living room and waited outside the door.

There was a sound of talking outside, Guo Shao and the man named Cao Bin talked about the affairs of Shu, and it could be heard that Cao Bin had been stationed in Shu before...... Madame Blossom was unaccompanied, but she was not bored, and it was interesting to listen to them; This is probably the reason why Guo Shao didn't let her leave the living room, if she waited for Jing Niang in a certain room, she would feel very difficult to sit idle.

The generals' official business doesn't sound particularly interesting, it's like reading the history of the scriptures, it's a bit boring, but as long as you can calm down and read it, it's still interesting.

Guo Shao's voice said: "I originally planned to send an envoy to Wu Yue Kingdom, but if it was too early, the timing was inappropriate." Recently, Li Chuyun has been going well in Wuping, and the time is almost up. Recently, I have to write a book to recommend candidates, and I think it is better to send military generals to go, and there is no need to rush back to China after the envoy...... Is General Cao interested in this trip? ”

Cao Bin's voice said: "The last general is to serve the country, and if there is a place to help, he will definitely fight." ”

"Very good, Xiang Gong really didn't see the wrong person." Guo Shao's voice praised.

The two talked for a while, then they quieted down, and they went out.

Madame Hua Rui pondered their conversation and guessed that the Great Zhou Dynasty was already deploying troops against the Southern Tang Kingdom...... She thought to herself, the Southern Tang Kingdom may not have existed for long; Her judgment was not an analysis of the military strength and deployment of the two sides, but was completely intuitive, because she believed in Guo Shao's ability.

At this time, Mrs. Hua Rui suddenly had an idea, if Guo Shao was the emperor of Shu, she might not have been caught in Tokyo now, and she was not worried about being arrested.

Guo Shao walked behind the screen, and Mrs. Hua Rui hurriedly got up and said a little restrainedly: "It's too bothering Guo Du to check." ”

Guo Shao ignored her politeness, and just muttered: "It's almost noon, Jing Niang hasn't come back yet, I guess she will have lunch in the Taoist temple." If Madame has nothing important, I wonder if I can invite you to lunch? ”

"Guo Du inspected and treated each other politely......" Mrs. Hua Rui didn't want to refuse, and she was reluctant to say anything politely refusal.

Guo Shao said dryly: "It's just a casual meal, so don't you have to be polite, right?" ”

Madame Blossom felt a little spicy on her face, and she didn't say anything for a while. She did like this place a little bit and stayed by Guo Shao's side.

Guo Shao said again: "Jing Niang lives in the second courtyard, I will take you around, and Mrs. can often come to her when she is free in the future." I instructed the servants to prepare some simple food and wine at noon...... I just got a cook this year, and her skills are not bad, it is said that her family specializes in giving people a banquet at red and white ceremonies, and the family inherits the craft. ”

Madame Hua Rui followed Guo Shao out of the living room and into a gatehouse. She was a little dazed, and after coming in, she realized that if Guo Shao wanted to do something to her, she was simply throwing herself into the net. But she was not afraid at all...... She knows herself very well, but it is actually difficult to trust others, and her strong sense of defense is related to experience; But I don't know what's going on, Guo Shao, a martial artist who is almost a stranger, didn't worry at all after seeing her a few times.

Madame Hua Rui thought to herself, it is useless for a person of his status to guard against him, I am afraid that he will look down on him if he is embraced...... It was a shame to be rejected last time.

Walking to the north, a gatehouse further inside attracted the attention of Madame Blossom. The arc-shaped bridge corridor erected in mid-air is indeed a bit special, faintly with the style of the Qin and Han dynasties. The two talked for a while as they walked, and then came to a dining room and took a seat. There was no one else, only Guo Shao invited her to dinner, and it was really a casual banquet.

Guo Shao said with a smile: "My yard, the work will be completed in a while, and there is a back garden inside, which is not much bigger than this second courtyard." There is no comparison between here and the Shu Imperial Palace, I have been to the Shu Imperial Palace, and it is estimated that it will take a whole day to complete the walk in a circle. ”

Madame Hua Rui said softly casually: "Your mansion is naturally much smaller than the imperial palace, but no matter how big the palace is, it does not belong to me, and this is General Guo's own mansion. It is also beautifully furnished, and the gatehouse on the north side is as round as a rainbow. ”

Guo Shao said: "That's right. Not to mention people, it is said that there is a kind of bird that builds a nest, and will also specially select beautiful flowers and plants, decorate their nests beautifully, and then attract female birds. ”

Madame Blossom blushed and said, "I've never heard of anything like this......"

At this time, two middle-aged women with ordinary appearances came in with food boxes to set the meal, several delicate white porcelain plates containing dishes were placed on the table, and then there was a steamed fish. The fuchsia wine is crystal clear in a glass jug, and it is very beautiful. There were not many dishes, but they were made very carefully, and Madame Blossom felt very pleasant.

The faint sound of the piano in the distance to the north rippled leisurely in the quiet air. The sound of the piano was far away, obviously not for the meal here, maybe one of Guo Shao's wives or prostitutes was still practicing the rhythm...... But inadvertently, it adds a bit of elegance to this place.

The voice was just right, when they were talking, because the distance did not interfere with the conversation; When it is quiet, it can affect the atmosphere, and you can listen attentively without feeling embarrassed. In this way, Guo Shao and Mrs. Hua Rui don't have to talk all the time, they only talk when they want to, and they feel very relaxed and casual.

Guo Shao took the glass cup, poured the wine with his own hands, and handed a cup to Mrs. Hua Rui. He said: "Originally, I don't usually drink at noon, but Madame is a guest, and I always feel a little less interesting when you invite you to eat without drinking, maybe this is 'no wine and no banquet'." ”

Mrs. Hua Rui picked up the glass cup, and Guo Shao took the initiative to toast. Madame Hua Rui said softly: "Concubine thank you General Guo for your hospitality. With that, he took a sip.

The taste was not very good, and Madame Blossom remembered that wine was generally sweet. But this wine is not very sweet, and it lacks the mellow aroma of white wine and rice wine, so I am really not used to drinking it. But of course Madame Blossom didn't say it, otherwise it would be a bit rude as if she disliked other people's wine.

Guo Shao glanced at her: "The insiders brewed sweet, but I think that if you drink sweet wine during dinner, it is not very compatible with salty dishes." This kind of fruit wine may not taste very good at first, but after a while, you will feel that it is quite smooth, and Mrs. will know if you try it. ”

When Madame Blossom heard this, she felt that the wine was a bit similar to her own feelings.
