Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

No one can understand the pain in Chen Jiali's heart at this time, and she has greatly doubted her own value and character! Suddenly I hated myself. () ..

She has always thought that she is a beautiful and refined person who deserves all kinds of favors and loves. She is beautiful and intelligent beyond the crowd, but...how can she be bright if she is born! Since God gave birth to Chen Jiali, why would there be such a person as Zhou Xian?

It would be great if there was no Zhou Xian in this world! At least it's good if I didn't see her in Tokyo... This reunion first hit Chen Jiali's arrogance in terms of appearance and temperament, making her feel that she is not the kind of fairy-like beauty she thought she was, but just a layman! Then, Chen Jiali's "joke" went wrong, which made her feel very ashamed. Could it be that her character is so bad?

Shouldn't have made that joke. She now feels that she has fallen from a "vulgar woman" to a "wicked woman". When an arrogant beauty like her suddenly questioned and loathed herself, she felt worse than being killed!

Chen Jiali's heart was bleeding: No! I am not that kind of person, I am a beautiful and white jade woman from the outside to the inside, I don't want to become a vulgar woman...

But, can you stop now?

Now that she stopped, she felt that she was even more spurned by others, and her character fell again... Even her mind would be hit, and she fell to the level of "stupid" again. It's all about being "vicious" in his mind, and if he doesn't do harm to others, he will be played with in the applause and teased by Zhou Xian while talking and laughing; even when he is still in despair, he can completely defeat himself!

...Chen Jiali's heart was churning, and she found a reason for herself: I am a very sincere businessman, Guo Shao gave me a priceless treasure, shouldn't I return it? Do you feel bad if you don't reciprocate? What's more, Guo Shao still has kindness to me, avenging my husband's death is greater than heaven; can a best friend be compared with a person with great kindness?

Yes, that's the way to think about it. What I've done this time is to repay my kindness. I'm a woman with clear grievances.

"Cousin, come with me." Chen Jiali said calmly.

Two beauties with beautiful figures and appearances moved lightly and entered a secret room inside. I saw many calligraphy, paintings and utensils on the shelf inside. Zhou Xian asked for permission, and casually admired and inspected it.

"Zhao Pu's family moved here from the Chaotic Party of the Zhou Dynasty." Chen Jiali said, "There are many places with Zhao Pu's seal and autographed catalogues. Zhao Pu is a criminal official of the Zhou Dynasty. How could the family's things come to me?"

Zhou Xian asked: "Guo Shao brought it here?"

Chen Jiali nodded: "Even yesterday, you knew he sent something. Is it priceless?"

"It's really expensive." Zhou Xian frowned.

Chen Jiali said: "He gave me favors, then threatened me and asked me to do things for him."

Zhou Xian was silent.

Chen Jiali said cautiously again: "Guo Shao is still threatening me. Now he is so powerful that he tells us not to toast and not eat or drink fines. If he doesn't appreciate it, he will chop the man with a knife!" Chen Jiali deliberately stretched out her palm and slashed down hard.

Sure enough, seeing Zhou Xian's shaved shoulders trembled! Chen Jiali felt a surge of joy in her heart, and said quietly: "If you kill the father, you can take away the cousin! Don't you know how lawless the warriors of the Zhou Dynasty were? He really can do it, and we can't do anything against him...With hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers in hand, the world can only tremble under the iron hoof! In the Great Zhou, force is everything, there is no right and wrong!"

Zhou Xian's face turned pale. Chen Jiali observed carefully, thinking that she shouldn't be pretending this time, right?

... Zhou Xian saw Li Yu back, and Li Yu asked, "Have you bid farewell to your cousin?"

"No, why don't we stay for two more days, I still have something to tell my cousin." Zhou Xian's face was pale.

Li Yu wondered: "What's the matter?"

Zhou Xiandao: "Do you still remember that I took the exam for "Neon Clothes and Feather Clothes Dance"? It was not easy to write a letter before, but now I finally saw it. I just seized the opportunity to discuss it with my cousin."

"In this situation, you still have your mind on that matter." Li Yu pondered.

Zhou Xian had no choice but to persuade him patiently: "Everyone has hobbies, and they can't let go of them at any time."

She didn't want to tell what Chen Jiali said, because Li Yu was a little suspicious of herself recently, and she was afraid that he would be paranoid and suspected that she would betray him; besides, Li Yu was already worried enough now, and told him to add more troubles.

Zhou Xian was skeptical of Chen Jiali's words... This time Chen Jiali's words were very reasonable, but if she could lie to Zhou Xian once, she might lie to her a second time; so Zhou Xian didn't particularly believe it.

But I still agree with Chen Jiali's reasoning: Zhou Xian and his wife are now in Tokyo, and the Southern Tang Kingdom is also a weak country compared to the Great Zhou Dynasty. Their fate is really a question of the powerful.

Sure enough, Li Yu said anxiously: "We should prepare a generous gift for Chen Jiali. It would be even better if we could speak in front of Guo Shao. These strong people are ruthless, and a word can kill people!"

...

At that time, the officials of the court of the Zhou Dynasty received the envoys from the Southern Tang Dynasty, who were sent by the new lord Li Hongji, and presented the letter of credence to continue to be a minister to the Great Zhou Dynasty.

The book asked the court to send his brother Li Yu back to the country, but the wording was not "brothers and couples", and only asked Li Yu alone; if Dazhou recognized Li Hongji's title as the king and repatriated Li Yu, the Southern Tang Kingdom was willing to pay an additional tribute worth one million guan.

One million! This is a very generous sum of money for the Zhou Dynasty, which has been worrying about military expenses for a long time.

...But Guo Shao doesn't know about the Southern Tang Kingdom for the time being. All his body, mind and mind are focused on the great internal crisis, and he doesn't care about the Southern Tang Kingdom at all. Now he feels a bit exhausted physically and mentally, and finally relaxes, and he didn't go to court.

When they returned to the mansion, they happened to see Zuo You, and they sat in the hall of the front yard for a while. At this time, Blacksmith Huang sent up a large stack of greeting cards, Zuo You picked it up without looking outside and read it, and said with a smile, "There are a lot of people who want to see the Lord."

"There is a pile of waste paper every day." Guo Shao smiled. "But I dare not accept gifts from officials. If I collect money, will I help with affairs? If I don't help, it would be disingenuous. If I help, I will sell the official porridge... The way of killing chickens and eggs, since it is rule by man, the selection of officials cannot be sloppy."

Zuo You nodded appreciatively: "The lord has revealed the aura of the lord."

"The effect of power is really immediate. Even a month ago, there were not so many people who wanted to make friends with me." Guo Shao pondered, "The right way is that justice does not depend on people's hearts, right and wrong care about strength."

Zuo You smiled and said: "Although the lord said so, how could he let Zhao Pu's family go... In fact, there is nothing wrong with picking a few of those beautiful concubines."

Guo Shaoxing was unimpressed: "They are just afraid of my power and force, I don't need to force others..."

He still cares about his women, even the two concubines in the family are very caring, and they don't treat them as playthings. After all, people are people, not things. Besides, Fu Jinzhan was in his heart, and his wife was Fu's second younger sister. Guo Shao felt that as long as he had them, it was enough, and he had no interest in robbing other people's wives and concubines.

"I'm not as lecherous as the rumors. I don't know who made the rumors. I really want to shoot while lying down." Guo Shao and Zuo You are close, so he leaned over and leaned his head towards him, and laughed softly: "The best thing about a woman is not her body and sex, but her heart; raising is for cherishing, and greed can't take care of it. We don't want to see how miserable their lives are... If that is the case, it will only add guilt and unhappiness to ourselves, asking for trouble, why bother?"

Zuo You chimed in and said, "My lord is a romantic person."

Guo Shao laughed and said: "I'm just a martial artist... Hey, Mr. Zuo, why don't you become an official in the court? I will meet the Queen Mother another day and ask her to make you an official."

Zuo You listened to Guo Shao's understatement of "asking the queen mother to be an official", with a look of admiration on his face, he almost gave a thumbs up, and then pretended to be indifferent: "How can it be so easy and happy to work with the lord or work with the lord every day, or talk about elegance?"

Guo Shaodao: "If you have leisure time, find a position in the Imperial Academy or some young minister to do it first, go to report a few times a month and it will be fine. I can get a salary, and I will save money."

Zuo You joked, "I thought the lord wanted to appreciate meritorious deeds, but that's the idea!"

It was Hanlin Academy and Xiaoqing who opened the mouth. Guo Shao knew that Zuo You was drooling secretly, so he was still pretending! He immediately said calmly: "Forget it, let's talk about it later."

After speaking, pay attention to observe Zuo You's face.

Sure enough, Zuo You couldn't hide his anxiety. He stroked a strand of beard on his chin and said, "Actually... I also met friends in the officialdom. If you have some status and a better-looking face, it's not impossible to be an official..."

Guo Shao laughed out loud after hearing this.

Zuo You blushed, looked at Guo Shao and sighed "ah".

At this moment, another servant came to the door and came in with a post. Guo Shao smiled and said, "Let's show it to Mr. Zuo, he likes to read."

Just as Zuo You was about to reach out to pick it up, he suddenly stopped and said softly, "Mrs. Chen..."

"Uh! Bring it here." Guo Shao hurriedly said. He hurriedly took it and tore it apart. It was not only a greeting card, but also a letter inside.

Zuo You waved his hand and told the servants of the Guo Mansion to back down, and immediately said in a mocking tone: "My lord, what did you say not long ago, are you not a womanizer?"

Zuo You was always very respectful, but whenever he was in a good mood after accomplishing a major event, Guo Shao took the initiative to joke with him, and over time the two of them got used to a more casual way of getting along.

Guo Shao ignored his joke and read the letter. Mrs. Chen mentioned in the letter that the things she gave last time were too expensive, but she deserved her disrespect. She wanted to return a particularly rare treasure, and she was sure that Guo Shao would be satisfied.

Is Madam Chen willing to sacrifice herself? Guo Shao thought about it for a while, and suddenly remembered that Chen Jiali's flexible, slender and very powerful waist due to long-term dance practice is indeed superb! Who doesn't like beauty? The main reason is that after Guo Shao married Fu Ermei, his taste became high. Ordinary women really can't attract his interest, but Chen Jiali is an exception.
