Because she slept late last night, it was already dawn when Madame Blossom got up. She lay on the bed for a while, and heard the sound of "whooshing" clothes in the courtyard, most likely the palace maid was washing clothes.

When Ben came to Tokyo, there were two eunuchs and a palace maid left, but one of the eunuchs was arrested for delivering a secret letter and has not been released. The food and clothing of several people are all handled by Wei Zhong and the palace maid, and there is still a lot of work every day. They didn't have many complaints, firstly, because these two people really had nowhere to go, and secondly, Meng Chang was still Qin Guogong after all, and they were probably looking forward to getting better in the future.

In addition to working, the palace maid also had to sleep, and Mrs. Hua Rui had not slept for a long time.

Madame Blossom got up, dressed casually, and opened the door of the bedroom with her messy hair, and fetched water from a wooden shelf at the door. Anyway, no one is watching here, and she is not interested in dressing up to compete for favor, so she is too lazy to bother to clean up her appearance.

"Madam, do you want the slave to help you fetch water?" The palace maid looked up and asked.

"I'll just go by myself, you're too busy." Madame Blossom said, "There's hot water in the kitchen?" ”

The palace maid said: "Yes, there is still a bowl of porridge in the pot, which is reserved for the lady." ”

Of course, this place is completely inferior to the Shu Imperial Palace, and Madame Hua Rui slowly walked from under the eaves to the kitchen to the east with the basin. The leaves on the treetops in the yard have been sparse, the ground is littered, and most of the surrounding houses are on the top of the hill...... Because there is less rain in the north, most of the houses are in this style, and the appearance is not as good-looking as the hanging hilltop houses of high-ranking families in Shudi.

Madame Blossom does everything slowly, anyway, there is nothing to do all day, and just grinding like this can make time pass faster.

After she washed, she didn't find the eunuch Wei Zhong, and remembered that Wei Zhong said last night that he was going out to buy something, and he was probably allowed to go out. Then I heard Governor Wang shouting outside the courtyard gate, Meng Chang walked out of the door, and hurriedly said, "Governor Wang just come in, the courtyard door is open." ”

Meng Chang turned his head with a smile on his face, and said hello to Mrs. Hua Rui again.

Seeing that he was dressed neatly, wearing a brand-new silk robe and soap boots, Madame Hua Rui looked like he was going out, and she should have been waiting for Governor Wang early. Madame Blossom was even more uneasy.

At this time, the tall and fat Wang Zhenfu walked in the door, with a flattering smile on his face, and stepped forward to salute Mrs. Hua Rui. Then he met Meng Chang again, and the two walked into the hall to talk.

Madame Blossom looked unconcerned and did not go in under the eaves. She is already a person with a strong sense of crisis, and at this time she can't help but think about her own way out in the future. pondering various circumstances, at present, except for relying on Guo Shao's back road, no one seems to dare to accept her; Even if there were, Madame Blossom wouldn't believe it. The question is, what is Guo Shao's mind?

This was originally an enemy's martial artist, and although Madame Hua Rui was killed, she could not hate him, because the devouring of nations did not stem from hatred; What would he do to himself, or would he be a woman at all...... At this time, Mrs. Hua Rui remembered the scene when she took the initiative to throw herself into her arms in Chengdu Mansion, and Guo Shao's physical reaction was obvious. He may not be a bad woman, but he doesn't take beauty very seriously.

But Madame Hua Rui had no choice, and Meng Chang made her feel unreliable. can only plan early, you can't rely on Guo Shao, at least Jing Niang is also a more reliable person in this place where she is not familiar with her life and has no relatives.

At this moment, Meng Chang and Governor Wang walked out of the hall. Governor Wang bowed down and said: "The lower officials have something to ask for, and I want to ask Mrs. to introduce Guo Du for inspection, and the great kindness is unforgettable." ”

Madame Blossom said casually, "I won't see him either." ”

Governor Wang glanced at Meng Chang slightly, and said quietly: "Guo Du checks people with such status, and it is easy to forget things......

Madame Hua Rui pursed her lips, and understood that Governor Wang had bewitched Meng Chang, and wanted to encourage herself to take the initiative...... took the initiative to hook up with Guo Shao. But Meng Chang didn't react, as if he didn't understand Governor Wang's vague hints.

Wang Zhenfu said again: "Originally, the Duke and Mrs. Qin couldn't go out casually, but it's another matter for the lower officials to take you out...... The lower official did not dare to persecute him, that is, it was a proposal, and if the lady did not want to, he would just do it......"

"Okay, I'll try to do Governor Wang a favor." Mrs. Blossom spoke, and even she felt a little incredible, and she had not weighed it at all. Maybe she thinks that Governor Wang is reasonable, even if she wants to see Jingniang or Guo Shao, it is inconvenient to go out.

This villain, who was a bully and wanted to insult himself, even if Mrs. Hua Rui didn't care about him, she was very disgusted. Now that she had to cooperate with him again, Madame Blossom felt very helpless.

Wang Zhenfu's face showed a look of surprise, and he was very surprised.

He hurriedly said to Meng Chang: "There is a little one who goes out with Qin Guogong for a while, you don't have to pay attention to him, just watch where Qin Guogong goes, and do his business." The people in that gambling house are familiar with you, you just need to bring your capital and go to play by yourself. ”

Mrs. Hua Rui frowned and said, "Ah Lang only went to gamble once yesterday, so you don't have to go every day, right?" ”

Meng Chang said: "What's the fun of staying in this courtyard and doing nothing?" Since I can go out, I just don't feel so bored when I go around. Are you going to meet Guo Shao with Governor Wang? ”

Mrs. Hua Rui said: "Governor Wang wants to ask to see Guo Du for inspection, but I don't see him as a woman, and I want to see Jing Niang for something." ”

Wang Zhenfu hurriedly said: "Duke Qin can rest assured, the lower officials have changed their past mistakes, how dare they be disrespectful to their wife again?" ”

……

Guo Shao happened to come back early, because the general Gao Yanyu sent someone to pay a visit yesterday and wanted to see him. Guo Shao just welcomed Gao Yanyu into the door, sat down in the living room in the front yard, and exchanged pleasantries.

Before he could talk about business, Lu Chengyong walked in and whispered in Guo Shao's ear: "Mrs. Hua Rui and Wang Zhenfu have already arrived at the gate of the mansion to see each other." ”

Guo Shao asked, "Qin Guogong didn't come?" ”

Lu Chengyong said: "If you go back to the lord, no. ”

When Gao Yanyan heard Qin Guogong, his expression changed slightly.

Guo Shao glanced at Gao Yanyan, pondered for a moment, and then said: "What is Wang Zhenfu, wasting my time, you have to deal with him." Invite Mrs. Blossom in. Guo Shao had already guessed that Wang Zhenfu was going to cry and cry to his mother and grovel, and Guo Shao really had no interest in the submission of this person, nor did he get any pleasure.

"Whoa." Lu Chengyong replied with a fist.

Guo Shao and Gao Yanyu were in the living room of the front yard, less than a stone's throw from the door. After a while, Madame Hua Rui was invited in, she walked to the door of the living room, Gao Yanyan hurriedly got up from the chair, and saluted, "The last general will meet Madame." ”

When Mrs. Hua Rui saw that Gao Yanyan was actually here, she was stunned and said, "General Gao, don't be polite." After that, he bent his knees slightly and clasped his hands on his side, "The concubine has seen Guo Du check...... I took the liberty to come to the door today, originally I wanted to see Jingniang, and Governor Wang begged me to introduce me in front of Guodu. ”

Guo Shao returned the salute: "Madame is very polite." Turning his head to Gao Yanyu and smiling, "Jingniang, the person in my house, she received the favor of Mrs. Hua Rui when she was in Emei Mountain, and the two have been friends for many years and often have contacts. ”

"I see, it's fate." Gao Yanyan said casually, without mentioning the old master.

Guo Shao said: "Jing Niang has something to go out, Madame, please sit down and wait for her here." I'll be back by noon. ”

Mrs. Hua Rui said: "The concubine is here, will disturb the two of you to discuss business, right?" Or I'll be here in the afternoon. ”

"It's okay, you wait for her for a while, Jingniang will come here when she comes back." Guo Shao spoke crisply and quickly, "That Wang Zhenfu, Mrs. doesn't need to intercede with him, he doesn't bother to care about his life or death, staying in the officialdom can only make him miserable." ”

Mrs. Hua Rui couldn't help asking, "How will Guo Du punish him?" ”

Guo Shao said: "This matter is Zuo You's doing, and it should be done soon." The evidence of corruption and perversion of the law is conclusive, and the official is dismissed and his status is reduced, and he will never be used; The official department is recorded, no matter how he tosses, he can't change the file of the ministry. ”

After saying a few words to Mrs. Hua Rui, he turned his head and smiled at Gao Yanyan: "When will General Gao leave Beijing to take up his post?" ”

Gao Yanyu said: "I'll leave in three days." At the end, he will go to Huainan to take over the soldiers of the Shu army who have settled in advance, and then wait for the men and horses to arrive by water. ”

"Three days later...... I have to remember. Guo Shao said, "At that time, it will be practiced for General Gao." There is a batch of new armor in the armor workshop, and General Gao also took it away, which can equip the elite soldiers of the pro-army. ”

Gao Yanyan said movingly: "The number of Su Wen Jing Armor is limited, and only the elite of the front division of the palace can be transferred...... Asking to see Guo Du for inspection today, there is actually one more thing. He looked at Madame Blossom like a stamen, and stopped talking.

Guo Shao thought that he had no military opportunities to discuss, so he said: "General Gao, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

Gao Yanyu said: "I heard that a secret letter sent to me a few days ago was intercepted by the court officials. Cao Tai, the eunuch of the Inner Servant Province, had a discussion with me, and he originally planned to send it to me to see what I could do. Guo Du checked the matter, but put an end to it, and took into account my dilemma...... Guo Du checked the heart of understanding, and the end will be very grateful. ”

Guo Shao said calmly: "Since I recommended General Gao, I should believe you; I believe that not only General Gao, but also the Shu soldiers, will understand that all Han people are one, and what they are fighting for now is to end the melee and resist foreign humiliation; This is not only the duty of the Central Plains soldiers. General Gao doesn't have to worry about anything, with me in the court, you just have to lead the troops with peace of mind. ”

Gao Yan said excitedly: "I can't wait to meet Guo Dashuai!" ”

Guo Shao looked at Gao Yanyan with a sincere face and said, "It's not too late. The brotherhood between us lacks the test of time, but you and I have the opportunity to fight side by side, and the future will be long. ”

Gao Yanyan clenched his fists and said in a categorical tone: "Guo Du checked the grace of the encounter, and the general will never dare to live up to it." In the future, only Guo will check the horse's head! ”
