Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

Chapter 138 Prosperity and Lost

Two days later is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. Guo Shao has nothing to do these days, if he hadn't been waiting for the Khitan generals and soldiers to go to Youzhou to find Gao Huaide's sister, he would have wanted to go back to Tokyo; anyway, he won't see the second sister Fu, so he can't discuss marriage this time.

There is nothing interesting to do during the Lantern Festival during the day, but the lantern festival at night is worth looking forward to.

There is nothing left and right, so instead of being bored in the house, of course it is better to go to the Lantern Festival. Guo Shao got ready early, and before it was dark, the lights on the long street began to light up one after another, so he asked the maid in Wei Wang's mansion to find out the direction of the Lantern City, and went to the street with a group of brothers.

The snow on the street has not yet melted, and the night has not yet fallen, but the street is already brightly lit. A street on the side of Prince Wei's Mansion was the most densely lit, and then radiated to the surroundings. The whole city was particularly bright and prosperous tonight. If Guo Shao hadn't just returned from the battlefield not long ago and knew that it was still the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, if he only looked at the scene of this famous city tonight, he would definitely think that it is a peaceful and prosperous age of singing and dancing.

"Look, is there anyone you like?" An old woman who was opening a shop on the road greeted Guo Shao and the others.

This is a shop selling palace lanterns and handicrafts. Guo Shao smiled kindly: "Let's just look around and see the excitement."

Guo Shao observed carefully. The streets were heavily guarded. The Palace of Wei sent a large number of soldiers to station on duty at various intersections, and some officials patrolled around. There were also many large earthen vats near the houses, which seemed to be used to prevent fires. Immediately, he felt that the Tianxiong Army Shogunate had already made arrangements for the Shangyuan Festival, so he turned around and said to everyone: "Everyone do your own thing, have fun on your own, and don't need to follow me."

At the beginning, there were not many people on the street, and the busy ones were the vendors and shops. There are also houses near the Lantern Market that also do business, decorate the front door, set up a booth, guess lantern fans, and hang palace lanterns. It seems that they can make money while making fun.

When the night just fell, the color of the lights became more and more prominent, and soon the street was full of traffic and people, and tourists were like a weaving, and the spacious avenue also began to be crowded.

Especially at the intersection of Dengshi Street, a huge paper-wrapped semi-arched decoration is glowing red, as if a rainbow born out of thin air is very beautiful; countless palace lanterns hanging on the surrounding tree branches are also lit up, and the bare branches suddenly become extraordinarily gorgeous. If you looked a little farther, you could see that the entire block seemed to be shining with stars, which made the night sky dim.

"Kang kuang..." A burst of gongs and drums made the noisy street even more noisy. When Guo Shao followed the sound, he saw a lantern dragon dancing beside the half-arched rainbow, and a group of people in bright clothes danced happily while beating gongs and drums. It attracted people to stop and watch.

Guo Shao also watched with great interest, and a little girl of a few years old was riding on the shoulders of the adults, licking|licking the candied radish in her hand, and giggling straight at the same time.

In this day and age, apart from going to Hualiu Lane to look for sex, there is really not much entertainment, and it is rare for Guo Shao to have such a leisurely time to go shopping. I feel that the Daming Mansion in Fu Yanqing's hands is still well managed, but tonight I still feel that there are some shortcomings... By the way, I was looking forward to hearing that Fu Ermei would appear in the Lantern Market on the Lantern Festival at the posthouse, but the people in the palace confirmed that it was just bragging, and I was somewhat disappointed.

Just thinking about this, I suddenly saw a group of horses and horses approaching. There were tall horses in the front and back, and there were many maids and servants on the left and right, guarding a gorgeously decorated carriage. The carriage had no sideboards on all sides, and was covered with light red silk. One could tell from the decoration that it was some noble lady or the daughter of a wealthy family... Who would ride in this kind of carriage?

There is a person sitting faintly in the curtain, and a shadow is printed in the lamplight, it is indeed a woman. Suddenly someone shouted loudly: "This is the chariot battle of Prince Wei's residence! Isn't that the second lady of the Fu family?"

Many people's eyes were immediately attracted from the dragon lantern, and they all watched with their necks stretched out, and some booed. There may be people from the post house that day. Even Guo Shao was a little surprised, Ermei Fu really came to the Lantern Festival this year?

The streets were bustling with people, and the carriages slowed down as soon as they entered the City of Lights, and were often stuck in the middle. Even the chariot battle in Prince Wei's mansion will not drive away the rejoicing people tonight.

So people walked slowly and could keep up with the carriage. Guo Shao was one of the people who followed the carriage and watched on foot, and Zuo You also followed. A man next to him laughed and said what everyone was thinking: "Come on, let's have a gust of wind and blow the curtain, so that we can feast our eyes and learn a lot!"

"General Guo, do you really want to see Erniang Fu?" A woman's voice said from behind.

Guo Shao looked back subconsciously, and saw a woman in a man's green robe and a veiled hat. A piece of veil was hanging from the hood, covering her front face, but she could faintly see the scene inside the veil when she was close; unexpectedly, there was a kerchief covering most of her face inside the veil. Although the lights are gorgeous, the light is not as good as that of the daytime. It is very hazy, and only a pair of smiling eyes can be seen vaguely.

"You know me?" Guo Shao couldn't help but look him up and down. This is indeed a woman, it doesn't matter what she wears, there is no part of her body that is not female. Dressing up as a man was useless, so she covered her face with a hood.

The woman's voice was light and calm, with a bit of playfulness: "General Guo has high eyes, I don't remember me, didn't we meet in the front hall of King Wei?"

Having said that, Guo Shao immediately felt that those smiling eyes seemed familiar, as if he had seen them somewhere. The front hall of King Wei's Mansion? Is it the maid serving the wine, or some dancing girl? Guo Shao really didn't pay attention, especially the group of dancers. At that time, he was not interested, he was thinking about sister Gao Huaide, and didn't pay attention to those beauties... Could it be that someone among the dancers winked at him quietly.

"Oh, oh..." Guo Shao had no choice but to fool around, not wanting to reveal that he had no impression of her.

Pointing to the carriage on the street, he asked, "Is she Fu Er's wife?"

The green-robed woman smiled and said, "Yes."

Guo Shao thinks this woman is very interesting, although the smiling eyes are separated by a veil, it makes people relaxed and warm. The figure is also well-born, not to mention the chest that can support the wide robes of the common people, the shaved back, the waist, no clothes can hide it at all, and a discerning person can guess the lines at a glance.

It was probably the dancer who was dancing that day, and the dancing girls usually have a good figure. But the lady in front of him is very spiritual, and she naturally exudes a kind of love, which is hard to explain... But the girl who danced that day always made Guo Shao feel that something was missing. Maybe people's moods are different, and what they see in their eyes is different.

Guo Shao didn't dislike such a woman being with him. He suddenly said: "The wind is going to blow, we are standing in the wrong direction, change to the opposite side."

"Huh?" The woman was surprised.

Guo Shao said with a smile: "You have to believe me, I am good at archery, and every marksman needs to feel the direction of the wind. Now the wind is low, maybe it will be strong in a while."

There was an attendant beside the woman, Zuo You was also behind, and a group of four people crossed the bustling street.

At this moment, the wind really blew up, and it happened to blow from this direction. "Ah!" The woman in green clothes and veiled hat whispered in surprise, she might think that Guo Shao is very magical.

Guo Shao ignored her and quickly looked at the curtain on the carriage. It floated up all of a sudden, although it was only for a short while, but he had already seen the lady sitting in the carriage, a young woman with white hair and luxurious silk and satin.

The round face is very excited and jubilant, with flushed cheeks.

Guo Shao couldn't help frowning slightly. There is nothing wrong with being happy in such a lively occasion, but the round-faced second lady doesn't seem to be shy at all, wishing that people would look at her... It reminds people of the waiter in the post house.

Maybe it's an illusion, just seeing it can't give others a conclusion.

But Guo Shao still couldn't hide his disappointment. Even if he didn't care about his temperament, his appearance was not very good. His skin seemed to be pretty good, but his round face was a bit fat and double chin, which didn't meet Guo Shao's aesthetics at all. If temperament and demeanor are not considered at all, that excited smiling face is not annoying, and it is a bit cute, but it is really not the kind of love between men and women.

Sure enough, marriage is nonsense? If you want to show someone's status and status, and also pick on their looks, then you are too picky... Isn't it the kind of fat and dark woman that should be burned?

Guo Shao kept persuading and comforting himself: marrying a concubine is the only way to get sex.

"General Guo, are you disappointed?" The green-robed woman next to him looked at his face.

"No, no..." Guo Shao's smile was already forced and ugly.

The green-robed woman smiled lightly and said, "It's really insincere, you have everything written on your face."

The girl next to her is a dancer or maid in Prince Wei's mansion. Of course, Guo Shao doesn't know what to say. If she goes back and tells King Wei or Erniang Fu, it will be a bad thing... I really think about it, don't marry King Wei?

Nima! Born by a father, why is there such a big distance between the queen and the second younger sister Fu? Maybe the two sisters are not the same mother.

Guo Shao's heart was heavy, and he couldn't help thinking about the foundation of the queen and Fu Yanqing. He once again recalled the woman in the car he saw just now, and he really didn't think it was ugly, young and fair-skinned. It's just that compared with Yulian and Yang's at home, the beauty is really different.

The "online dating" in the previous life died when I saw the light, but I didn't see people put too much personal fantasy into it, thinking that the other party was like a fairy, but in the end, the imagination was beautiful, but the reality was very skinny. Now Guo Shao has this feeling.

Sometimes there is really no way out, real beauties without makeup are scarce after all... If you can't marry a beautiful woman as your wife, you still have to live. Fortunately, there are two beautiful concubines in Guo Shao's family, who justifiably raise them at home, and they can accept the reality if they think about it.

Guo Shao gritted his teeth and said: The Queen's support, the Fu family's in-laws, these real benefits should be more important.
