Chapter 222: Chaos
"Miss surnamed Ma?"
Zhuge Rong glanced at Fang Shao, and her eyes were strange, as if to say: Okay, you, you are messing with flowers and grass outside, the young lady surnamed Sun has not yet married into the door, and the young lady surnamed Ma has come to the door again!
Fang Shao was also stunned for a moment before guessing who it was, but this time he was very calm, not doing anything wrong, of course, he was not afraid to face his wife's questioning eyes.
"Who could the young lady surnamed Ma be?"
Fang Shao pretended to be very puzzled, but Zhuge Rong snorted coldly and said, "Husband, since there is a guest visiting, then I will accompany my husband to go out to meet this Miss Ma." ”
Zhuge Rong accentuated the three words "Miss Ma", but Fang Shao didn't know, so he smiled and said, "Okay, let's go out and see who it is." ”
So, he and his wife went out of the front hall together, but saw a tall woman in the hall boredly playing with the antiques displayed in the hall, the woman's nose bridge was high, her hair color was slightly yellow, and she was dressed in an exotic style, and she knew at a glance that it was not a woman from the Han family in the Central Plains.
With such looks and dress, there are few people in the entire Chengdu City, who else can there be except Ma Yunlu.
Fang Shao hurriedly smiled and said, "It turned out to be Miss Ma, what a rare guest, it turns out that Miss Ma is also in Chengdu." ”
As soon as Ma Yunlu heard Fang Shao's voice, his face was suddenly full of smiles, but when he turned around, he found that there was a dignified and beautiful young woman standing beside him, and the smile on his face was weird. She put the antique in her hand back in place, clapped her hands, and said with a smile: "General Fang, what do you remember your surname, have you forgotten it for a few days, you and I are back to Chengdu together." ”
Fang Shao was stunned again, but only then did he remember that according to the convention, this Ma Yunlu was sent to Chengdu as a hostage of Ma Chao's family, along with the families of all the subordinates in Hanzhong, Fang Shao went back to Chengdu with this group of people by the way, but there was no entanglement with this Ma Yunlu on the way, and now she said this, the facts are also facts, but it sounds a little wrong.
Zhuge Rong beside him, his face suddenly turned cloudy, Fang Shao hurriedly explained with a smile: "Oh, you look at my surname, I forgot, didn't Miss Ma also go back to Chengdu with that group of Hanzhong family members?" ”
Fang Shao was euphemistically explaining to his wife that I came back with this woman surnamed Ma, but nothing happened on the way.
"Of course it is, I still think that General Fang and I are also old friends, but this time we are peers on the way to Chengdu, but I don't see General Fang to talk, and it is really boring and tight along the way."
Ma Yunlu seems to be deliberately trying to embarrass him, and the more Fang Shao wants to get rid of the relationship, the more she insists on getting closer.
Zhuge Rong smiled and said, "It turns out that the husband of the Hanzhong battle is not only to give advice to the king, but also to make a confidant like Miss Ma, the husband is really very leisurely." ”
Zhuge Rong's words were obviously ironic, Fang Shao had to pretend to be calm, and said: "Madame said that it was funny, this Miss Ma is the sister-in-law of General Ma Mengqi, I was ordered by the king to welcome General Meng Qi back, and by the way, I met Miss Ma, and I just knew her, how dare I have the cheekiness to make friends with Miss Ma." ”
Ma Yunlu was not happy when he heard it, and hurriedly said: "General Fang, I don't like to listen to what you say, what is a friendship, it seems that you and I have a relationship, have you forgotten what happened that night?" ”
As soon as these words came out, Zhuge Rong's face was not gloomy, there was a thundercloud storm on the spot, no wonder, Ma Yunlu's words were too ambiguous, what "forgot the things at night", what could happen in this night, how could this not make Zhuge Rong have some associations.
"Damn, you're here to provoke on purpose!"
Fang Shao was innocent, and he didn't know how to explain it for a while.
At this time, Zhuge Rong didn't want to listen to the two of her "singing and singing" anymore, seeing that this woman was ambiguous with her husband in front of her, she was angry, so she said: "Miss Ma is a guest, I should have greeted you well, but my husband is going to go out for a long time, and I don't have time to entertain Miss Ma today." ”
Ma Yunlu was surprised and said, "Is General Fang going far away?" Where are you going, and are you going to Hanzhong? ”
"This ......" Fang Shao didn't know how to speak.
Zhuge Rong said: "Miss Ma guessed wrong, husband, he is going to Jingzhou to marry Miss Sun of Eastern Wu this time." ”
"What?"
Ma Yunlu looked very surprised, obviously she had just entered Yizhou, she was unfamiliar with the place, and her understanding of Fang Shao was limited to knowing that she had a smart and virtuous wife, but she didn't expect him to have something to do with the eldest lady of Dongwu.
"I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it." Ma Yunlu looked him up and down again, as if he was looking at an alien.
Fang Shao was a little awkward when he heard her strange tone, so he frowned and said, "Miss Ma didn't think of anything?" ”
Ma Yunlu suddenly smiled, bumped his elbow into him, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect it, General Fang, you look serious, but I didn't expect that you are also a merry son, and you are not satisfied with such a beautiful wife at home, and you still have the heart to hook up with the eldest lady of Dongwu." ”
Ma Yunlu's words made Fang Shao extremely embarrassed, and Zhuge Rong saw that she was actually doing something to her husband in front of her, and she seemed to be mocking herself when she said that, so she became angry on the spot, sneered, and said: "Miss Ma's words are wrong, now that the king is in alliance with Dongwu, and his husband marries Miss Sun of Dongwu, it is completely for the sake of state affairs, and Miss Ma doesn't have to be so disdainful." ”
Ma Yunlu set his eyes on Zhuge Rong, his smile retracted, but then he sighed, and said, "I have heard that Mrs. Fang is both talented and beautiful, and she is a rare strange woman. I'm still thinking, General Fang has such a good wife as Madame, how can he have the heart to enjoy other women, and now, Yunlu really feels a little pity for Madam Fang. ”
Zhuge Rong immediately said: "Although I am not as smart as Miss Ma Bingxue and delicate, I also know how to be a wife, so I have to put myself in my husband's shoes, and it is not a pity to talk about it." ”
The two of them actually ignored Fang Shao, a big living person, and they fought as soon as you said a word, although they didn't see the sword light and sword shadow, but they were secretly killing, and they only heard Fang Shao as if they were on the battlefield.
"Damn, women are such troublesome animals. If they continue to fight like this, I'm afraid they won't be able to end. ”
Fang Shao couldn't bear it anymore, so he said: "That Miss Ma, thank you for your care, Shao Shao will come to the door another day to thank you." It's just that Shao has something to do today, and he has to rush on the road, so he won't leave Miss Ma. ”
Fang Shao is giving an eviction order.
Ma Yunlu seemed to come here only to see Fang Shao's wife, and after seeing it, she patted her ass and left, since Fang Shao gave the order to evict the guest, she rubbed Fang Shao again, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, I won't bother you to hug the beauty, don't forget that you promised me to learn swordsmanship, and said goodbye." ”
Ma Yunlu squeezed his eyebrows at him, turned around and walked away, leaving only a wisp of indescribable exotic fragrance.
As soon as Ma Yunlu left, Zhuge Rong's still tense face turned blue, and she turned around and walked into the hall indignantly, and couldn't help scolding: "What Miss Ma, how can there be such a scratching woman, don't have any face at all!" ”
Fang Shao followed in and said with relief: "This Miss Ma is from Xiliang, her surname is somewhat similar to the Hu people, and there have always been no rules for doing things, Madame Mo is like her." ”
Zhuge Rong turned her head, looked at him squarely, and asked, "Let me ask you, what is the matter between you and this Miss Ma?" ”
Fang Shao was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "I don't understand what Madame said, I am a friend of Miss Ma, what can I do." ”
Zhuge Rong didn't believe it, and said: "You lied to me again, if it's just a one-sided friend, how can people come to the door and look at you in front of me." ”
Fang Shao felt aggrieved and said unhappily: "How do I know this, didn't I say that this Miss Ma's surname is like Hu Ren, she is so idle that she has to come to talk nonsense, what can I do!" ”
Zhuge Rong was originally angry in her heart, but she was amused by giving him a sentence of "idle eggs", and couldn't help laughing: "What is it called idle eggs, and what nonsense are you talking about." ”
Fang Shao realized that he had missed his mouth again, but it was good to make his wife laugh, so he stepped forward and hugged his wife, and said very solemnly: "Ah Rong, you and I have gone through so many ups and downs, don't you understand, if you really doubt me like this, then my heart is really uncomfortable." ”
Who made her put on a generous posture before, but now that Fang Shao has said this, if she still has a temper, wouldn't she lift a stone and shoot herself in the foot.
So, Zhuge Rong had to put on a faint smile and said, "How can I not believe you, it's just Miss Ma to blame, the Hu Ren habit is really disgusting." ”
Fang Shao saw that Zhuge Rong didn't lose his temper, but he was relieved, and at this time, Ah Shan outside came to report, saying that the carriage and horse dowry had been prepared, and he was waiting to leave.
So, Zhuge Rong straightened his clothes for him and advised: "It's not too early, husband should set off early, you must be careful on the road and take good care of yourself." ”
Fang Shao also comforted his wife a few words, and then said goodbye and went out.
Out of Chengdu, go straight by waterway, pass through the treacherous Yangtze River waterway in Padang, enter Jingzhou in a few days, and reach Lukou.
At this time, Guan Yu, Guan Ping, Xu Shu, Jiang Wan, Mi Wei and other important officials in Jingzhou had all gathered in Lukou. According to Liu Bei's previous arrangement, Fang Shao's wedding was to be held at Lukou at the junction of Sun and Liu, which was naturally for the purpose of further easing the hostility between the border soldiers of the two sides, and the other purpose was also to show the world the determination of the Liu and Sun families to rebuild through this wedding, and its political purpose was self-evident.
However, the friendliness on the surface has never been able to hide the inner detachment.
At this moment, when I heard that the fleet sent by Dongwu was about to arrive, the Jingzhou army stationed in Lukou entered the first-level combat readiness state early, and the same was true for the naval army in Xiakou.
At dusk on this day, Fang Shao, accompanied by Guan Ping, waited at the Lukou wharf, looking eastward, but saw more than 50 Dongwu ships wearing ribbons entering the field of vision.
Guan Ping patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Big brother, the bride is here, you have to work hard again tonight, haha-"
