Chapter 12: Supplication

In summer and autumn, the days are long, and it gets dark very late, and when Xun Guanniang returns to the bedroom from the living room on this day, it is actually past the time of the usual meal, but the room is still clear and transparent, and there is no need to light candles.

Xun Guanniang's tired face was covered by the heavy fat powder, and her head was full of pearls, and she felt more tired than wearing a helmet, so as soon as she entered the door, she collapsed on the couch without any manners. After taking two breaths, she beckoned: "Take the mirror, first remove these things from my head for me!" ”

The two maids came over with a low table and placed it in front of Xun Guanniang, and then went out to fetch water for the housewife to remove her makeup and clean her face. The cat took out a bronze mirror from the box, and hugged her hands around her chest like a baby.

It is indeed a treasure, this mirror is half a foot wide, smooth and clear, with red sandalwood as a frame, and embedded with eight treasures, or the seizures in the battle of Pei Cai Dali I don't know which Hu general looted from what dignitary's house. However, when Pei should have given this bronze mirror to his wife, his expression seemed to be a little regretful, and he said: "The mirror of this world, that's it, let's talk about helping Qing tidy up his head." ”

Xun Guanniang slandered her belly, as if you had seen the mirror of the afterlife...... Like my Xun family, the same Gaomen, I have never seen such a good mirror, I am afraid it is an antiquity of the Han Dynasty, could it be that when your Pei family was prosperous in the past, could there be a better one? Unless you don't have the surname Pei, but the surname Shi, or the surname Wang......

The cat carefully unfolded the wooden frame, installed the bronze mirror, and then climbed onto the couch to remove the gold and jade jewelry on the wig for Xun Guanniang one by one. Xun Guanniang couldn't help but complain again: "Zhenri wears these, and requires that the body can't, and the head can't be tilted, and I don't want to be a woman to be so troublesome!" ”

The cat glanced at her and crooked her mouth, which means: You don't want to give it to me, I don't have to wear it yet! Xun Guanniang glimpsed the cat's expression in the mirror, and immediately smiled: "Do you want to either?" Unless you marry first...... Do you want me to talk about your family? ”

The cat frowned and didn't refute, but it was obviously a little unhappy. She left Xun Song, who was like an adoptive father, and followed Xun Guanniang to Pei's house, so what happened, naturally she didn't have countless hearts in her heart, so what do you mean by saying this today? Don't you want me to get close to your husband? Originally, as a barbarian girl, she was almost unfortunate to be a Chinese scholar, and since she was adopted by the Xun family, it was a blessing to be able to climb into a second-rate family, and she should not have any extravagant hopes; It's just that since he vaguely pointed out a brighter path to himself, how can he be like Pei's? And Pei Lang is such a hero, but he broke his dream with a slap, and the cat is naturally difficult to let go.

Xun Guanniang noticed the cat's expression, and couldn't help but sigh softly: "If you enter my house, it will be difficult for me to cope with today's affairs, let alone you?" ”

What is going on today? To put it bluntly, it is "boudoir diplomacy". Since Pei Gai entered Chang'an City and took charge of the country, there have been aristocratic women who have come to visit the Xun family, in fact, they want to pass through the Xun family's door, so that their father or husband's family can smoothly squeeze into Pei Gai's big ship. Although Xun Guanniang has been arrogant since she was a child, and behaves like a man, after all, she was born in a scholarly family, and she is still a young lady in her bones, and her moral code is not contrary to the current theory, she does regret that she can't be a man, but she doesn't think that her indulgence in the boudoir is forgivable, and she always feels that in this regard, what her father said is more reasonable than the nonsense of her husband's wedding night......

Therefore, when you are in the boudoir, you can rely on the pampering of your parents to act recklessly, since you are married to a wife, you must shoulder the internal affairs, and deal with other wives and young ladies, it must be inevitable. In addition, Xun Guanniang also has a certain understanding of Pei Gai's current situation, based on her background, talent, and knowledge, I am afraid that her understanding is clearer than that of many important generals under Pei Gai

Although the husband is in charge of the country, he is an outsider after all. The Chang'an Imperial Court was originally controlled by a group of Guanxi people, and Pei Gai killed Suo one by one, and directly destroyed the leader of the Guanxi scholars, so how could they not hate and doubt? Based on Pei's high position and heavy troops, it is estimated that there are few people who hate, but there will be many doubts, how will he treat the Guanxi scholars? Is it possible to attach to it, or does it have to make room for the Kanto people?

Therefore, the visits of wives and young ladies, Xun Guanniang must be received, and for their temptations, they must also occasionally make intimate gestures on the premise of maintaining a certain distance, so as to give them a certain hope mainly for the people behind them. Of course, in the end, using someone instead of someone, it is up to the husband to have the final say, and Xun Guanniang tries not to exceed her duty.

It's just that this kind of thing is against its nature, and it is not its strength, so every time Xun Guanniang receives the nobles and returns, in front of her cronies and maids, such as cats, she will inevitably complain and pour out wantonly. She can only hypnotize herself, this is purely a war, my husband is fighting on the front line, I am fighting in the rear, I can help him stabilize the regime.

When Pei Gai was still in Chang'an City, many families did not dare to be presumptuous in order to avoid suspicion; When Pei Gai led the troops to the battle, the number of people who handed over the post in front of Xun Guanniang's door increased sharply, and she was exhausted from being busy for several days. Therefore, when she said casually, it was really not a temptation, and she didn't have the spirit to say it at this time, so she couldn't help but sigh: It's hard to marry a big family, you see how much headache I have now, can you still be better than me?

Of course, these words couldn't make the cat's mood better, so Xun Guanniang had to turn around, take the cat's hand, and think about how to soothe it. But at this time, I suddenly heard the voice of the servant Pei Fu outside the door: "Madam, what is that...... Xin asked to see him again at the door. ”

When Xun Guanniang heard this, she couldn't help frowning, raised her voice and asked, "Haven't you already rejected it twice?" What kind of identity did you come to see me? Then he sneered slightly: "Could it be that you have gained some benefits from her, so you report it again and again for her?" ”

Outside the door, Pei Fu couldn't help but smile awkwardly, and defended: "I don't get anything...... But I looked at her very pitiful, and I asked to see her very strongly......"

Pei Fu is the old man of the Pei family, and even Pei should be polite to him, although Xun Guanniang knows that this person is lazy, greedy for money and lustful, and is really not a good servant, but if he has not committed any big mistake that pierces the sky, it is inconvenient to face him coldly. She was in a bad mood, so she casually stabbed Pei Fu, and then felt a little remorseful, so she said in her heart, "Okay, I'll let her in." ”

It didn't take long for Pei Fu to lead a woman to the door. The woman signed up by herself: "Liangmen Xin, ask to see Mrs. Pei." "The sound is very crisp and pleasant, like a yellow warbler chirping. The cat commanded, "Come in." So the woman went in and fell down by the door, far from the couch.

Xun Guanniang took advantage of the still bright skylight, looked up, and saw that the woman was wearing a light red embroidered shirt, a plain white long skirt, and her hair was combed with green eyebrows, but only two silver hairpins were inserted. In terms of overall dress, it is dignified and elegant, showing the state of a high family, but it does not show off its wealth.

This first impression was not bad, Xun Guanniang said: "You can raise your head." ”

The woman immediately raised her head and faced Xun Guanniang, whether it was Xun or the cat, when she saw it, she couldn't help but be surprised that there was such a beautiful woman in the world!

Xun Guanniang couldn't help but think: ""Zhuangzi" cloud: 'Mao Yan, Liji, the beauty of people; The fish saw it deeply, the birds saw it flying high, and the elk saw it with determination...... 'I should be exaggerating, I don't want to be so beautiful!' "The first reaction was: Don't let my husband see her! But then he laughed at himself and thought nonsense, man has his own husband, and my husband is not a womanizer...... Presumably.

Immediately, he straightened up his demeanor and asked, "You have asked to see me several times and three times, why is it that you are the same?" ”

The woman replied, "The woman of the people came to understand, with the dignity of a lady, why ask? ”

Xun Guanniang asked angrily: "Like you, is it the way to ask for people?" ”

The woman's face couldn't help but show some sadness: "The woman really doesn't want to come here, only the husband and son-in-law are strong." May my wife listen to the woman's plea, and my husband will be innocent!" ”

Xun Guanniang sneered: "Since he is not guilty, he can make a statement to the court, and he even asked his wife to come to see my husband, is it still a man?!" ”

The woman replied, "Even if the husband is not a husband, a woman cannot be without a wife." And there is no guilt and depreciation, who has no resentment in his heart, both resentment and hope, it will not be the blessing of the court, but also the wisdom of hurting General Pei. Please also show me a clear path......"

Xun Guanniang sighed softly: "Rufu's matter, I also know a little about one or two books that have a smooth road that is feasible, but it is a pity that Uncle Ru is mistaken!" ”

The cat gently poked Xun Guanniang from behind, and asked in a low voice, "Who is this person?" Who is her husband? ”

Liangmen Xin's family, originally from Yingchuan's famous family, was married to Hedong Liang Wei after Cao Wei's famous minister Xinbi. To tell the truth, although Liang Wei is Suo's nephew, he has no evil deeds, since he was defeated by Liu Yao in Feng Yi's Taishou office, he has deeply blamed himself, and he has closed the door every day, and it is said that he has repeatedly advised him to unite his colleagues and fight Hu with one heart.

Therefore, the Xin family came to beg Xun Guanniang, and said: "Asking for power is evil, my husband is really not his henchman, and it will cause trouble to the three clans, and he will not be able to go to the outside family." Now that the rope is defeated, my husband is only demoted at most, how can he be dismissed as a city dan, and he must atone for his sins with money! What is the sin? ”

Xun Guanniang reminded Xin: "Rufu is really tired of his brother. Liang Zhenzheng (Liang Su) was in Hongnong, my husband made people ridicule him to enter the court to apologize for his crimes, and rescued Rufu, but he not only did not obey, but abandoned the official and left, did he think that my husband was the king of Chuping, and he boasted that Wu Zixu could not succeed? If this is the case, once the soldiers are gone, Wu Lu will not be in the wok, it is my husband's kindness, what more can I ask for? ! "Whether it is disobedience or abandonment of officials, it is a felony, so since the younger brother has run away, won't the elder brother be implicated?

Xin hurriedly defended: "The leaves of a tree still have withered glory, let alone brothers? And the third uncle is really not my husband and mother, and he also ...... "Liang Su is from the stepfamily, and Liang Wei and Liang Zong are brothers"...... It's hard to restrain it on a daily basis. Madame Mingcha, my husband used to be in Feng Yi, mentioning the weak journey, fighting with Hu Kou for seven days, blood-stained heart, almost inevitably, but for the tribe to hijack and leave; After returning to Chang'an, please guard Feng Yi with a heavy general, ask for no permission, and change to Zhengzheng, who expected that he would meet Hu and run away from the virtuous and unscrupulous, which can be seen. After my husband returned, he also blamed himself deeply, and every time he wanted to die for the country, he was now innocent and dismissed. Now I ask my wife, not to seek fame, but to serve Pei Gong, to atone for my past sorrows, otherwise, I can go with my heart and go away......"

Xun Guanniang frowned, looking at the other party's tears, she really couldn't bear to refuse the so-called "I see pity", born good-looking has this advantage, even if she is a woman, she will inevitably feel compassion, so she thought about it, and said: "If you want to serve the country, it is useless to beg me, it only depends on whether you have the courage to ...... you."
