Chapter 35: Beauty
I saw a woman standing at the door, wearing a snow-white cloak, her face was red from the cold, and she was lowering her head and stomping her feet gently, it was Shi Huangwen, the woman in the palace.
Seeing that Wu Yingying stayed at the door and didn't speak, just staring at herself, Huang Wen couldn't help blushing slightly, and said softly: "Don't let me in yet, it's not good if you are seen by others." ”
Wu Yingying hurriedly agreed with an "ah", hurriedly opened the door to let her in, and said in a low voice: "I have a friend in the army who drinks here, but he doesn't know you." ”
Huang Wen lowered her head and said "um", and walked into the house with Wu Yingying.
Hu Ze saw that Wu Yingying brought in a woman and joked to Wu Yingying: "Sure enough, it's a debt collector." After speaking, he stood up and arched his hand: "Brother, I am an adult, so I will leave first." As he spoke, he stared at Huang Wen fiercely, so ashamed that Huang Wen blushed to the neck, and just wanted to bury his face in the cloak, but he laughed and left his seat.
Wu Yingying sent him to the door, and when he turned around, he saw that Huang Wen was already sitting in Hu Zegang's seat, holding a wine glass in his hand, and looking at him with joy and disgust in a pair of wonderful eyes.
Wu Yingying said gently: "My eldest brother is a coarse and delicate person, although his words are more straightforward, don't be surprised." He raised his glass again and said, "It's rare for you to visit the Humble House, the weather is cold, let's have a toast to warm our stomachs first." ”
Huang Wen raised his wine glass with him, put it to his lips and took a shallow sip, and said with a smile: "Hu Yuhou is a great hero, how can I blame him." ”
Wu Yingying said curiously: "You actually know him, I thought you had never met." ”
Huang Wen said: "I happened to be on the side when he met His Majesty once, but Hu Yuhou kept his head down and talked to His Majesty all the time, and he didn't see me. ”
Wu Yingying said: "I see. ”
Huang Wen glanced at him and said angrily: "You are like everyone like you, and your eyes are not honest when you arrive in the palace." ”
Wu Yingying smiled: "If it weren't for this, wouldn't you miss a lot of beautiful scenery." Hold her hand and feel the delicate skin.
Huang Wen struggled slightly, spilled a little of the wine in her hand, lowered her head and said softly: "Just because I heard that you put all the slaves and maids in the house back for the New Year, so I came to see you today, don't look down on me." ”
Wu Yingying still held her hand and said softly, "Of course." By the way, where do you live, but in Jinling, do you want me to visit the second elder?"
Hearing this, Huang Wen's eyes darkened, she lowered her head, and she didn't speak for a long time, tears dripped on her clothes.
Wu Yingying felt distressed, stretched out his hand and gently hugged her in his arms, Huang Wen's body trembled slightly, and then relaxed his body and leaned on Wu Yingying's shoulder, and said faintly: "My father was originally also a general in the army, and he died in battle when I was very young. I was still young and was sent to the palace. Now there is no one left. ”
Wu Yingying stroked her soft long hair and comforted: "And me, from now on, I will be your relative." ”
"Really?" Huang Wen raised her head, her cheeks flushed, as if she was drunk, and then said gloomily: "You are a big hero, your wife must have a prominent family background to be worthy of you, not a helpless woman like me." ”
Wu Yingying said distressedly: "Who said that you are helpless, I am your dependence." Do you believe me?"
"I believe it. Huang Wen smiled, there were still undried tears in the corners of his crooked eyes, like the first sunny day after the rain, Wu Yingying was stunned for a while, he reached out to hold Huang Wen's soft twing, and said: "I have no relatives in this world, from now on, we will rely on each other." ”
Huang Wen nodded, buried herself deeper in Wu Yingying's chest, and the two of them sat quietly in the heavy snow, until it was getting late, Huang Wen suddenly remembered something, looked up and said to Wu Yingying: "I still want to visit a good sister who used to be in the palace, I have to go first." ”
Seeing that there was a look of reluctance on her face, Wu Yingying smiled and said, "Why don't you spend the night here?"
Seeing that he was deliberately teasing, Huang Wen pushed his hand away, let go of half a step and said, "Think beautifully." While putting on his cloak, he smiled skillfully, grimaced at Wu Yingying, and then turned to leave.
Wu Yingying had been watching her back disappear into the vast wind and snow, and suddenly felt that someone had tapped her shoulder, and an extremely annoying voice said in her ear: "Hey, stop smirking, your jaw will freeze if you laugh again." ”
Wu Yingying turned his head to look, but it was Wang Yu who was staring at him with an ambiguous smile. He almost cramped when he quickly closed his mouth just now, which made Wu Yingying feel the urge to flatten his smiling face, but he still held back his anger and asked, "How did you get out without my permission?"
Wang Yu spread his hands and said: "The soldiers and servants in your house are gone, and when you think about it, I'm afraid I will be starved to death." In desperation, I made this decision and came out over the wall, which was really insulting. As he spoke, he showed Wu Yingying the stains on his sleeves.
Wu Yingying has always ignored this person, only by his own soldiers and servants to take care of his diet and daily life, who expected that these people have returned home for the New Year, and the last servants to leave are not the ones who were originally responsible for taking care of Wang Yu, and they really forgot this Jiangbei celebrity, the son of a generation of virtuous ministers. Wang Yu thought at first that Wu Yingying deliberately tortured him, so he stood up for a day, and then the more he thought about it, the more he listened, and listened quietly to the movement outside the door, there was no sound outside the courtyard where he was under house arrest except for the chirping of birds and rats, and the sergeant guarding the courtyard gate did not know where to go, so he dared to climb the wall and come out to find food.
Hearing him say this, Wu Yingying was really a little upset, turned around and pointed to the broth that was still half left, and said: "If you don't dislike it, you just cooked the pot of broth, and Brother Secret Power can talk to satisfy your hunger." ”
Wang Yu "snorted", and was not polite to him, walked to the soup pot and sat down, picked up the dishes and chopsticks and chewed happily, from time to time he took a sip of the wine glass, ate a tornado, and finally stroked his stomach while burping, and said to Wu Yingying: "Brother Wu, I see that the woman's appearance just now is so familiar, it shouldn't be the talented woman I saw on the day I met the lord of the country." You are really bold enough, abducting a palace maid is a capital crime. Wasn't Cai Yuan forced to rebel because of this?"
Wu Yingying listened with a gloomy face, and seeing that the more he spoke, the more unreasonable he became, he pressed his hand on the hilt of the knife and said in a deep voice: "It's too troublesome to rebel, and it's easier to kill people and kill people." While looking at Wang Yu coldly.
Wang Yu really felt numb in his neck, regretted that he shouldn't use this to blackmail Wu Yingying, and said with a smile: "Maybe it's because my brother has been hungry for a long time, and I'm dazzled, how can the palace maid walk around outside at any time, it must be Brother Wu's confidante in the outside, I don't know which celebrity it is?" You might as well plan a plan for you, and marry the daughter of which family can help you rise to the top. After saying that, he hiccuped again.
Wu Yingying said coldly: "You don't have to worry about this, since you are full of food and drink, Brother Secret Quan might as well go back to your house and stay well." ”
Wang Yu stretched his waist, raised his hand to look out, and said: "Such a snowy scene reminds me of my hometown in the north, can't Brother Wu be an adult, let me sit here less." At present, how about you and I cook wine and talk while enjoying the snow?"
Just after exchanging heart-to-heart songs with the beautiful woman, Wu Yingying was still in a good mood, and he was not afraid of any tricks Wang Yu played, so he no longer forced him to go back to the courtyard to stay, and took a glass of wine to his lips and drank it.
Wang Yu also picked up a glass of wine and poured it into his throat, and said leisurely: "In the past, Wei Wu and Emperor Zhaolie cooked wine with green plums, tasting the heroes of the world, how heroic they were. Brother Wu is interested, don't let the ancients specialize in the past, and talk to me about today's figures?"
Wu Yingying drank another glass of wine and said with a smile: "It's a pity that you are not Cao Mengde, and I am not Liu Bei, how can you talk about heroes." ”
Wang Yu smiled and said: "Out of the mouth of the king, into my ears, why not?" He didn't wait for Wu Yingying to refute, and said first: "Brother Wu, in your opinion, how many characters can be called heroes today?"
Wu Yingying picked up a glass of wine, thought for a while, and said: "Yang Ye of Linzhou, attacking the Khitan in the north, resisting the Great Song Dynasty in the south, a generation of famous generals, can he be called a hero?"
Wang Yu raised his glass and touched him, took a sip first, and then said: "Yang Ye is a brave general, loves the people like a son, but he is too good and has a strong personality." Sun Tzu said: Anger can be insulted, honesty can be humiliated, love the people, but annoying. Yang Ye has all three, and he is loyal to the lord of mediocrity, so he is not a hero. With that, he drained a glass of wine.
Wu Yingying thought about it, isn't Yang Ye forced to death by you, it is indeed a bit difficult for you to admit that Yang Ye is a hero, and said: "Kaifeng is the one who sits in the Dragon Court, a pole and a stick are all equal, and hundreds of military states in the world are surnamed Zhao, can he be called a hero?"
Wang Yu smiled and said: "It's taboo to talk about the king, Brother Wu, you can embarrass me, can you punish yourself first?"
Seeing Wu Yingying drink the wine, Wang Yufang said: "If you talk about eloquence, the princes of the Quartet, including the lord of Jiangnan, can't catch up with Your Majesty in my court, it's a pity that ......"
