Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

The eastern sky is slightly white, the sun is far from rising, and the windless morning is shrouded in a faint mist. The sporadic lanterns on the long street were dimly lit, dimly and dimly in the fog.

Hearing the dull turning of the wheels, feeling the chill of early winter on the back of his hands, Fu Jinzhan sat silently on the carriage back to the palace. Guo Shao sat next to him, he still heard the intimate and intimate whispers last night, but now they are not talking. Fu Jinzhan lifted a corner of the car curtain and observed the scene outside for a while. Occasionally, one or two shops can be seen taking the door panels in front of the door, ready to open for business, and a new day is beginning.

"What are you going to do later?" Fu Jinzhan asked softly.

Guo Shaodao: "I'll wait to pick up my second sister to go home first, and then go to Si Dianmao in front of the hall. There should be time. Donghua Gate is not too far from home."

Fu Jinzhan responded quietly, "I don't know why, but I feel weird and a little sour."

At this moment, Fu Jinzhan's back of his hand felt warm, and Guo Shao said nicely, "Maybe it's because of parting. Think about it, didn't you just say that the palace and Guo's mansion are very close, we are both in Tokyo and it is easy to see each other again."

"Yeah." Fu Jinzhan tried to show a smile on her face, her crooked eyes were as gentle as the light of the moon, and she whispered again, "Your hands are so warm in such a cold day."

When the troops arrived at Xihua Gate, the eunuch Cao Tai brought "Second Sister Fu" into the palace. Guo Shao took people to Donghua Gate and waited.

...In the bedroom of the Long Live Palace, Second Sister Fu rubbed her sleepy eyes, and seeing Fu Jinzhan covered her mouth with her hands and yawned, she couldn't help but ask, "Did you not sleep last night?"

Fu Jinzhan: "I slept late. Because it was too late after finishing my work, I rested overnight in the warm pavilion of Jinxiang Palace."

Second Sister Fu paid attention to her elder sister's expression. The face that looked very similar to her was obviously tired, but she was very calm and indifferent, and there was nothing wrong with it at all.

"What happened?" Fu Ermei asked softly again.

Fu Jinzhan said: "Regarding the Kingdom of Shu, there is a secret report back. The Lord of the Kingdom of Shu is stepping up his defenses. I don't know where to find out that we will attack Shu."

"Oh..." Second Sister Fu nodded thoughtfully, then smiled, "I don't understand those things anyway, and it's useless for Elder Sister to tell me. I'm going to get up and wash up." Second Sister Fu got up briskly from the bed, and her elder sister helped her get dressed in a surprisingly affectionate manner.

The eldest sister couldn't see anything unusual on her face, but the second sister felt something strange. Including my father, brother and eldest sister, I don't bother to explain anything serious to her. Most of the time, if you don't understand something, it's useless to ask. Why did the eldest sister explain it to herself in detail this morning?

Second Sister Fu has self-knowledge, her mind is not as good as that of Elder Sister; she also understands Elder Sister, her heart is as calm as the sea, if she doesn't want others to see her thoughts, no one will know the slightest bit of wind from her... But Second Sister Fu is not a careless person, her heart is also very delicate.

Fu Jinzhan seemed to be suppressing his tiredness, and patiently accompanied his second sister to finish her breakfast and tidy up. At this time Cao Tai came in to report that Guo Shao had been waiting outside the Jinxiang Hall to pick up his wife early in the morning.

The second sister bid farewell to Fu Jinzhan, and Jinzhan rewarded her with some jewelry and silk fabrics, which was very generous.

She was very happy to see Guo Shao, followed him home, and then persuaded him to go on duty. Back in the secluded garden by the lake again, Second Sister Fu doesn't have to do anything, she just needs to find something interesting to entertain her.

She first took out the things that her elder sister gave her, and looked at them with great interest. Fu Ermei was very interested in these exquisite and beautiful gadgets, not to mention the tributes from the palace, the exquisite craftsmanship was different from the casually bought ones on the market. But Ermei Fu soon discovered that although these things were expensive, the elder sister obviously didn't spend any time choosing them, and there were actually three earrings... A scene appeared in Ermei Fu's mind, the elder sister was absent-mindedly grabbing a handful out of her jewelry box.

The second sister dropped the jewelry in her hand, stood up, clasped her hands together and walked a few steps in the bright and clean bedroom. When she raised her head, Yuqing was standing silently at the door... She has been used to Yuqing's side for a long time, she is a good person to accompany her; when she is down and doesn't want to talk, Yuqing never bothers her;

"Yuqing." The second sister called softly.

The absent-minded Yuqing immediately turned around: "Second lady."

Fu Ermei said: "Go and see where Dong Sanniang is, and call her over."

She remembered that Dong Sanniang's elder brother Dong Er was the bodyguard beside her husband. Although Fu Ermei didn't come back from her natal family for a long time and stayed in the palace for another month, she also heard about Dong Sanniang; because her second brother was rescued from death row by Guo Shao, people occasionally talked about it in the garden.

Not long after, Dong Sanniang walked timidly to the door of the bedroom, knelt down and said, "Madam is calling me?"

Seeing her timid appearance and young age, Fu Ermei hurriedly showed a gentle smile and said kindly: "Don't be afraid, I have always been good to you, okay?"

Dong Sanniang whispered: "Okay."

Fu Ermei nodded and beckoned her to come over. Dong Sanniang lowered her head and moved slowly to the second sister. Fu Ermei picked up a pair of gold earrings from the dressing table, and gently put them on Dong Sanniang's ears.

Dong Sanniang blushed, stretched out her hand to touch it, and said, "This kind of thing..."

"It's okay. If you get married in the future, you can bring a little extra to your in-law's house. It's useful to keep the golden ones." Second Sister Fu laughed. Dong Sanniang said cautiously: "Thank you, madam."

Second Sister Fu said softly: "I want you to help me with something. Go to the front yard in the afternoon and wait for your brother and A Lang to come back. Ask your brother, where did A Lang go and who was he with when A Lang didn't come home last night. Are you willing to help me?"

Dong Sanniang was silent for a while, then nodded hesitantly.

Fu Ermei's face suddenly showed a warm smile, and said softly: "If you have any grievances in the future, just tell me, and I will help you out."

... In the afternoon, Guo Shao went to the Guard Division barracks that had just been reorganized, and then went home directly from the barracks, without staying anywhere. He got off the carriage, and immediately saw Dong Sanniang standing by the corridor alone, looking over here.

Dong Er who was behind got off his horse, handed the reins to a companion and said, "Do me a favor, my sister is waiting for me."

Guo Shao didn't ask Dong Er, but turned around and said: "Today, the value is changed. Brothers in rotation will lead the horses to the stables, and then they can go home." Everyone clasped their fists together and said, "The lord will resign."

Unexpectedly, he had just walked a few steps when he saw Dong Er running back and saying, "My lord, my sister is waiting for you..."

Guo Shao smiled awkwardly: "Then I'll take the road over there and drop by to ask Sanmei what's going on."

He then turned around and went to the corridor. The third sister followed behind him. She turned her head and took a quick glance at the back, and said in a low voice, "Ah Lang, Madam asked me to ask my second brother today, where did Alang go last night, and who was he with..."

Guo Shao stopped immediately, turned around and asked, "What did Dong Er say?"

The third sister lowered her head and said, "I didn't ask...how should I answer Madam?"

Guo Shao's expression became very ugly. He didn't say a word, and continued walking slowly inside, without saying a word for a long time. When he was with Fu Jinzhan, the pressure was actually not too great, because he had a heart for Fu Jinzhan very early on, and after his second sister got married, she didn't see that she cared about herself and other women.

He still treats his second sister with care. To treat a person with sincerity must first be sincere, in order to gain trust and the same sincerity; without sincerity, no matter how high the method is, it will always make people feel wrong if it takes a long time, and Guo Shao has no means to deal with women.

I really don't want to deceive Second Sister Fu.

He took the petite Dong Sanmei one by one, silently entered a moon cave gate, and passed through the middle courtyard. The rainbow-like overpass in front was very conspicuous, and that was the entrance to the gatehouse in the back garden.

The third sister asked again: "Ah Lang, Madam will definitely ask me later, how should I answer her?"

Tell her the truth? How should I put it, could it be that she was with "Second Sister" last night, and Fu Second Sister was in the palace last night... She is not a fool, she can figure out who the "Second Sister" was outside last night with her toes.

Guo Shao realized a very simple and unavoidable contradiction: if you don't hide the truth from Fu Ermei, you must lie to her; if you don't want to lie to her, you can't hide it from her.

Just like this, I suddenly told her that my sister and I were actually the same... Guo Shao felt that it was too bad to do so, and maybe he should tell her in the end, but the opportunity is not right now; he needs to think carefully and find a good opportunity.

He immediately turned his head and said: "Said that I went to Li Chuyun's residence."

"En." Third Sister responded lightly.

Guo Shaodao: "Fortunately, you told me first... Aren't you very timid, aren't you afraid of offending Madam?"

Third Sister looked at the ground and said nothing.

Guo Shao didn't continue to ask her, just happened to have entered the gatehouse, but he didn't see Second Sister Fu. He went straight to the living room. He didn't see anyone, but he saw a black and strong woman cleaning the stone path outside, so he called her in and taught her to help remove the armor.

Not long after, Second Sister Fu finally came to the entrance of the hall, and said with a smile: "Husband!" She happily stepped forward and threw herself into Guo Shao's arms, hugging him tightly, completely ignoring the thick woman next to her.

Seeing this, the woman said awkwardly: "I, I went out first, the yard hasn't been cleaned yet."

Guo Shao said: "Where did you go just now?"

"I won't tell you." Fu Ermei blushed, tiptoed and whispered in his ear, "I will reward you tonight."

Guo Shao's face twitched slightly. Seeing the second sister's happy look, he felt as if he had knocked over a five-flavored bottle. He felt guilty for a while, held her hand and said softly: "Second sister, I will treat you with all my heart for the rest of my life."
