Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

Chapter 338 Rings and Wine

Good things are often extra busy. The New Year is approaching, Guo Shao can't go straight, but the schedule is already full. All he wants to do is to visit the homes of relatives, friends, and court colleagues (such as Li Yuaner's home, Guo Shao must accompany her to visit during the New Year).

In the back garden of the Guo Mansion, there is a large piece of white flat land... It is a lake, the bottom is frozen, and the top is covered with snow, which has become the current situation. Fu Ermei pointed to the place under a dead tree, looked around solemnly, and said to the strong black woman next to her who was holding a hoe: "This is here, just dig."

"When did you bury it?" Guo Shao asked curiously.

Second Sister Fu smiled and said, "Last year, I buried several jars of wine here just after I got married."

Guo Shao said casually: "It would be great if drinking fruit wine became popular. Most of the people in the north still don't have enough to eat, so it would be a pity to use the food to make wine."

After hearing this, Second Sister Fu turned her head and said softly, "Your husband thinks so much...I just think about how to dig out the ice in the lake and hide it in the cellar. It will be of great use in summer!"

Guo Shao laughed and said, "Second Sister is really far-sighted."

At this moment, the soil was lifted and several jars appeared. Fu Ermei knelt down and came out with a jar in her arms. Guo Shao hurried up to help. I saw her jade-white fingers stained with dark brown soil, which looked particularly abrupt.

"It's not my intention, you're not allowed to dig...it's best not to say anything about it." Second Sister Fu told the strong woman who was helping, "These altars are specially prepared for the Queen Mother."

When the strong woman heard what the queen mother said, she was startled for a while, and hurriedly said that she would kill her without saying a word.

Guo Shao jokingly said: "It seems that your older sister is closer." Fu Ermei said with a smile: "That's because only my older sister likes to drink sweet things, so I put sugar in these jars; I didn't put sugar in the others."

He memorized this detail... In retrospect, he and Fu Jinzhan often talked in abstract terms, but rarely asked her what she likes to eat and what she hates, the simplest things.

Guo Shao and Fu Ermei prepared a special gift, and immediately went out to the palace to meet the Queen Mother. Fu Ermei chose this time to say: "I usually don't visit relatives before the year, because the door-to-door visits are to collect debts; I don't go until after the New Year. But my husband has too many places to go around in the first month. My sister's place is my family, and I can arrange it before the year to save a day."

Guo Shao couldn't help laughing out loud when he heard "collecting debts at home".

He is in a very good state now, but occasionally he feels a little guilty and can't figure it out. So he can often still laugh, and laugh very happily.

The two entered the palace, met with Fu Jinzhan, and were left to eat in the dining room of Jinxiang Palace at noon.

Fu Ermei went to the Long Live Hall to accompany her sister first, and Guo Shao was a male relative, so he had to stay in the restaurant of Jinxiang Hall to drink tea and wait. This restaurant is the most high-end restaurant that Guo Shao has seen, very rich and elegant.

Magnificence is what you see in front of you. The exquisite yellow curtains and spotless brass lampstands reflect the light yellow brilliance. The calligraphy and painting Guo Shao hanging on the wall is really not an expert. I don’t understand it, but it looks very precious and powerful at first glance. The wood of the tables and stools is very elegant. But such a place full of light and light is very quiet and quiet. Not only did the maid standing at the door not speak, she didn't even make a sound... It was as if she was in the middle of the night, so quiet and elegant.

Guo Shao waited for the sisters from the Fu family to go to the banquet, because it was too quiet and he was a little cautious, so he pretended to be an expert and looked at the calligraphy and paintings on the wall with great interest... In fact, he felt that this lady's appearance alone seemed a bit ugly.

...Fu Jinzhan changed out of his dress, and beside him was a folded red jacket and skirt. Just about to put on trousers first, he suddenly found that his legs were very beautiful, white and slender and tight, with just the right fat and thin lines. For a while, he felt a little pity for himself, thinking that there was a charcoal fire in the room anyway, so he put on his jacket and skirt without his trousers.

She came out from the curtain and saw Second Sister was fiddling with her jewelry in front of the dressing table. Then he went forward and took the second younger sister's hand: "Let's go...your hands are so cold."

Fu Ermei whispered: "What's the matter? My husband said that my hands are cold, but my heart is warm."

After hearing this, Jinzhan showed a very reluctant smile on his face, pretending to be joking, and just two steps away, he found that Fu Ermei was wearing a ring on her left ring finger. Although Jinzhan is in daily contact with memorials and military affairs, she still loves to pay attention to these little gadgets. He glanced at it casually, and said: "I have some rings with beautiful gemstones here, you can pick one later, gold ones are not rare."

Second Sister Fu smiled and said, "I like to wear this one, it's a gift from my husband."

Jinzhan was even more troubled for no reason, so he said angrily, "You're so stingy, how much gold is it for such a small piece?"

Fu Ermei didn't seem to understand Jinzhan's mood, so she thought she was joking, and said, "He said that those precious stones are just stones and are useless, only gold is called... hard currency, which can be exchanged for money. People go up and down in the world, and if one day they fall down, gold can more or less be used in an emergency."

Jinzhan raised his eyebrows, and his vermilion lips and white teeth let out a soft "sneak": "Will the people of the Fu family be so miserable? If it really gets to that point, you won't have a chance to exchange gold for money. You must be a prisoner."

"That said." Second Sister said softly, "But I like what he said, it's very stable. With the accumulation of stability bit by bit, I feel very relaxed when I'm by his side, and I feel that no matter what happens, I don't have to be afraid."

The two went to the restaurant while talking. Guo Shao came up to pay respects and said, "I pay homage to the Queen Mother."

Fu Jinzhan looked at him pretending to be indifferent, and his tone was calm, as if it sounded like a good word, but in fact it was just polite words, "Today is a family banquet, so there is no need to be more polite."

Guo Shao said again: "Thank you, Queen Mother."

When the ladies of the palace brought the food, a woman specially brought up the wine jar that had been wiped clean...the wine jar given by Fu Ermei, and then filled a small glazed jug. Fu Jinzhan waved his sleeves lightly, and they bowed and retreated.

Fu Jinzhan personally picked up the glazed jug and poured wine for them, saying: "You are the guests today."

Fu Ermei said with a smile: "I put sugar in this jar, do you want to taste it?"

Jinzhan picked up the glass, took a sip, and said with a smile, "It's sweet, and Second Sister's wine is the best. But it's rare to taste it now."

"It is indeed a treasure." Guo Shao chatted, "But I know that there is a special kind of cup for drinking precious wine. The glass cup is filled with a tall foot, and the bottom is a flat surface."

Fu Jinzhan looked at his face with a half-smile, and said softly: "What shape is that, why is it made so strange?"

Guo Shaodao: "It is said that the time and temperature of the first-class wine should be just right after opening; fingers are hot, and directly touching the glass will affect the temperature of the wine. Therefore, a thin waist is specially used to hold the glass."

Fu Jinzhan covered his mouth and smiled lightly: "The person who came up with that thing must be an alcoholic, and he can do it so meticulously after a sip of wine."

"It must be an alcoholic." Guo Shao smiled. "When an alcoholic thinks something is particularly precious and likes it, he will naturally use it to the utmost. He is also quite careful when drinking it. He takes a sip so that his tongue can fully taste the taste of the wine, and then he is willing to swallow it."

He paused and looked at Fu Jinzhan teasingly, and said softly: "Of course you have to taste the most desired thing with the tip of your tongue, don't you?"

Fu Jinzhan paid attention to Fu Ermei from the corner of her eye, and felt that her cheeks were hot, but she had to put on a dignified look, which was a bit uncomfortable; she followed Guo Shao's intentions, and even her body became hot, as if a goose feather was gently sweeping and sweeping her body, but it was neither light nor heavy, which made people feel a little flustered.

After he finished speaking, he took a breath, his face intoxicated. Fu Ermei looked at him with interest: "What did my husband taste?"

"The sweetness seems to be a bit stronger, not much different from drinking sugar water." Guo Shao said helplessly, "But the fragrance is still very good."

Fu Ermei couldn't help laughing, and after a while she was thoughtful again, turned her head and bowed her body, and said in a low voice, "I have a strange feeling that my husband is different every time I see my eldest sister."

Fu Jinzhan felt slightly nervous, and when she looked at Guo Shao, she saw a trace of uneasiness flashing across his face. Guo Shao asked: "Your eldest sister is the queen mother after all, so I am different in front of the queen mother."

The second sister shook her head and said, "Maybe I'm just thinking wildly."

Fu Jinzhan observed the second younger sister carefully, found that she was smiling, and soon continued talking and laughing, and then felt relieved... Guo Shao is also, what are you doing in front of the second younger sister?

The three of them talked and laughed in a quiet room. The voices of the sisters of the Fu family are particularly pleasant, and Jinzhan's voice is even more mellow. This exquisite dining room seems to be infused with soul, making it extra wonderful.

Guo Shao was embarrassed to chew in such an elegant environment and ate half full. After the maids cleared the dining table, they continued to chat and discuss the pastimes of the afternoon. At this moment, Second Sister Fu was a little embarrassed, and walked up to Jinzhan and whispered something in her ear.

Fu Jinzhan said softly: "You go, you know where it is, didn't you live in the palace for more than a month before?"

The second sister went out calmly, leaving Guo Shao and Fu Jinzhan sitting alone at the table and looking at each other. Guo Shao suddenly asked in a low voice, "What did Second Sister do?"

Fu Jinzhan said: "She told me I was not feeling well."

As she spoke, she gently lifted the golden spoon in her hand to the ground with a "jingle". There was no one else in the dining room, so Guo Shao got up to pick it up, Fu Jinzhan also got up, and lifted the skirt lightly, the thick skirt was easily lifted up, revealing a small piece of skin on the jade white ankle and calf, the other hand also scrambled to pick it up, and the voice became more and more gentle: "Let me do it..."
