Chapter 0625 - It's Like a Stranger
More than 100 guards escorted a carriage slowly into Ximen Street, stopped in front of a large mansion opposite the Nanping Palace, and the attendant Bai Chang stepped forward to talk to the Shu army guards guarding the door, and the guards quickly went in to report.

After a while, the front door opened, and an old court attendant dressed in civilian clothes, but white and chubby, trotted out with his entourage and greeted him respectfully at the foot of the front steps.
The attendant who drove the carriage took a short ladder and put it on the front wheel of the carriage, and then retreated to the side, the curtain of the carriage was opened, and a pretty maid of fifteen or sixteen years old helped the carriage to get out of the carriage first, and stood beside the short ladder to help the hostess Han Furong get out of the carriage.
"Greetings, Madame! The concubine is personally greeted at the middle gate! The old waiter bowed the bucket waist, stepped forward with small steps, quietly raised his head and glanced at Han Furong quickly, the look of surprise quickly disappeared, and he continued to look expressionless and cautious.
When Han Furong was originally in Shuzhong, she often entered the palace, so she naturally knew this waiter who usually waited by Mrs. Hua Rui's side, and nodded with a smile: "There is Young Eunuch Lao Zhang to guide the way!" ”
In front of the middle gate, Mrs. Hua Rui combed high to the sky, although only a little light makeup, but it was difficult to hide its beauty, wearing a hibiscus light red collared shirt, under the light green tunic skirt, draped a moon-white thin red flower wide-sleeved shawl with a hem mopping the floor, shoulders and arms with pink gold thread Shu brocade shoulders, in the maid's entourage slowly walked out.
Han Furong took a few steps forward and squatted down, but saw Mrs. Hua Rui bending her knees at the same time, and saluted: "The former concubine Fei of the Shu Kingdom has seen Mrs. Han!" ”
Han Furong was stunned for a while, now that there is a gap in the reunion in a different place, the former best friend in the boudoir is now a stranger, so she smiled bitterly: "Why is the concubine like this?" The world is changing, and it is not for you and me that the women can influence it, and the concubines come to visit without other intentions. ”
"In that case, then please come in!" Madame Hua Rui smiled reluctantly, and saw that Han Furong only brought a maidservant, obviously not sent by the princess of Longxi, so she led her to the atrium painting hall to sit down, and turned around to summon the maid to serve sencha.
Han Furong knelt behind the case, carefully observed Mrs. Hua Rui, and saw that the expression on her face could not hide her sadness and loss, and comforted softly: "Guanzhong is not as cold as Chengdu, but it is much colder, if there is any shortage in the house, the concubine Niangniang can send someone to notify you at any time, and the concubine will let someone prepare for you." ”
"You have a heart, thank you for your kindness! The concubine is a person who has lost the country, you still call Niangniang, it sounds strange and harsh, call the concubine the small character Ling Niang! Mrs. Hua Rui frowned slightly, and said: "Speaking of which, I haven't congratulated you yet, but I admire you, I have worked hard for so many years for marriage, and finally married a good husband, and the concubine owes you a gift!" ”
Han Furong was stunned, she married Zhang Yue as a concubine, and she also had the element of marriage, but she was also forced by the helpless situation, and of course she had a relationship for a few years. And because of her participation in the business of Huihe Commercial Bank, she is still quite respected in Zhang Yue's family, and on the day she first arrived in Guanzhong, her mother Fu Jinqiong also treated her very well and did not embarrass her, which made Han Furong very satisfied in her heart.
But Mrs. Hua Rui's heart was full of taste when she heard this, seeing her brows stretched, and the smile on her lips did not seem to be sarcastic, but seemed to be sincerely happy for her, and she breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and replied with a smile: "But it's not a concubine, and her status is low, so what is it." Although Niangniang's life experience has encountered some twists and turns, she is a concubine after all! ”
Originally, one of the two was a favorite concubine of the palace court, and the other was a noble girl of the gate, and they had some personal relations, but they made people happy, but now they are reversed, and it makes no sense to theorize, but it will be discordant. Madame Blossom is intelligent by nature, and is not as easy to compare as ordinary little women, and she laughs at it without saying a word.
Han Furong also realized that the two were in a different situation now, and besides, those who had fallen behind were inferior, so she changed the topic and asked tentatively: "Our housewife wants to take time to meet you, I don't know when I am free?" ”
"Oh...... Princess Longxi? All right! Just send someone to summon you, and the concubine can go at any time! Of course, Mrs. Hua Rui has heard that this Princess of Longxi is the youngest daughter of Fu Yanlin, the sixth brother of King Wei, and she is also from a famous family, although it is not yet an official decree, but sooner or later she will be the queen, she can't refuse.
"Then tomorrow morning, the one in our family will usually go to the official office in the morning, and the concubine will come to pick you up then!" Seeing that Mrs. Hua Rui nodded, Han Furong took out a slip from her sleeve pocket and handed it forward: "In addition, the concubine has brought some household things here, and I don't know if it is in line with your wishes, but please accept it!" ”
"Mrs. Han is so generous, and the concubine is a down-and-out person, I am very grateful!" Madame Blossom thanked her repeatedly.
Han Furong was in a complicated mood, she was sympathetic to Hua Ruifu, but she also wanted to show her happy life in front of her, no longer like in the past, when she was in Shuzhong, she had to rely on Mrs. Hua Rui for help in many things, that is, the marriage that she hated before was the result of Mrs. Hua Rui's help, otherwise she didn't get rid of the Sun family now. But she also knew that if this would hurt the friendship between the two, she should stop at the moment and get up to leave.
Madame Blossom personally sent her out, and when she arrived at the front yard, she saw that the chamber was carrying the cage, some silk cloth and porcelain supplies at home, and even all kinds of small objects. He summoned a maid to whisper, took a small wooden box, and saw that Han Furong was about to get into the carriage, and asked the maid to send it as a reward.
Han Furong waved her hand at the carriage window, closed the curtain and took the wooden box to open it, and saw that it was a butterfly hairpin inlaid with gold and jasper.
The maidservant saw a look of amazement on her face, and her eyes were full of light and she grinned: "Ah...... It's so pretty! ”
"Dead Niko! You know what! Han Furong pursed her lips and muttered with some emotion: "The country that was taken from others is not as good as your own after all!" Once in trouble, involving countless people, how can it be like a concubine to help her own husband, even if her status is low, but it is really ......"
Han Furong has never lacked these jewelry and other things, what she has is money, and she can let the craftsman create whatever style she wants, if there is anything she envy but can't get, it is Wencai, and this Mrs. Hua Rui has it, and she feels that she can't compare.
But as a woman, what can compare to a man who really loves herself and can accompany him. And now that she has it, in contrast, Mrs. Blossom's one is in a worrying situation, so Han Furong still has a full sense of superiority in her heart, and she is even more pleased that her relationship for five or six years has a good result.
Just when Han Furong was thinking about it, the carriage arrived at the archway outside the palace gate, and saw that Zhang Yue also happened to get out of the car and was about to go inside the door, when Han Furong waved his hand from the window of the car and shouted sweetly: "Lang Jun!" I'm back too! ”
Zhang Yue was walking up the steps, and when he heard Han Furong's sweet and greasy shout, he was obviously very useful, and immediately trotted over and helped Han Furong down the lane: "Where did you go?" It's a pity that I'm busy now and don't have time to accompany you! ”
"Lang Jun is a person who does big things, and it is right to be busy! Like the one in Madame Blossom's house, who only knows how to quarrel with women all day long, it is really sympathetic now! Han Furong said, very happy in her heart, and unconsciously revealed her tone.
"Huh? You just went to see her? Zhang Yue was surprised for a while, and then remembered something and felt relieved.
