Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

The sound of the piano is melodious and quiet, and the autumn is cool; but Mrs. Huarui's face has a slightly burning warmth. The wine she drank didn't feel much alcohol in the mouth, but it had a lot of aftertaste; she had just drank half a glass, and she already felt a little hot.

If she paid a little attention, she could feel Guo Shao's carefulness and attention... For example, the timing of Guo Shao's persuasion was very appropriate. He only picked up the wine glass after she took a small bite of a piece of fish and swallowed it. Everything will fall into place, Mrs. Huarui will not be in a hurry to drink a glass while still chewing.

"When Rao Shunyu was in ancient times, people didn't have houses to live in. They usually lived in caves." Guo Shao put down his cup and said.

Mrs. Huarui watched and listened to him with great interest. This kind of comfortable mood is like the feeling of drinking some wine, light and floating. She felt that her complexion had become better, her eyes were brighter, and her whole body looked a lot more beautiful... This kind of self-affirmation was very wonderful, just like the joy of wearing a very beautiful new dress.

It's a pity that she didn't pay attention to herself before going out today, Mrs. Huarui is very dissatisfied with her attire, if she had known that she would put a little effort into it. The dress is not well cut and makes the body look a bit bloated.

Guo Shao's voice continued: "Men go hunting in the mountains, while women sew and protect the children in the cave. The cold, humidity, wild animals and insects in the cave may harm the lives of women and children, so women are very alert and sensitive to the surrounding environment. Madam, do you still feel this way?"

Mrs. Huarui thought for a while and smiled, "General Guo is quite good at thinking."

"Hey." Guo Shaohan laughed, picked up a large piece of fish with chopsticks, and put it in Mrs. Huarui's small bowl, "This is mullet, eat more. A genius doctor in our family said that it has the effect of removing blood stasis and promoting new life, nourishing and recuperating."

Mrs. Huarui followed his gaze and gently put her hand on her left cheek.

Guo Shao said calmly again: "That person will pay the price."

Mrs. Huarui was trying to pretend to be tolerant, and when she was in a good mood, she became more open-minded. When she reached her mouth, she found that Guo Shao's eyes shifted from her cheeks to her chest. Mrs. Huarui's heart was slightly flustered, and she couldn't speak.

She silently sips the fish meat, it tastes very good. The belly of the fish is stuffed with seasonings such as bean drum, dahexiang, scallions, etc., which can remove the heavy fishy smell of freshwater fish and retain the unique deliciousness of meat dishes.

Mrs. Huarui likes delicious food very much. After eating fish, she stopped talking about Governor Wang and said, "The mullet has very few spines and is quite delicious."

"Grass carp and silver carp are vegetarians, so the meat is full of spines, which can protect themselves against predators." Guo Shao said, "Mulletfish feed on fish and shrimp, so they don't need many fish bones."

Mrs. Huarui raised her head and glanced at him, feeling a kind of aggressive wildness from the words.

But she is not afraid, she has personally experienced countless times, the jungle of the jungle preys on the weak in this world. I also know that the cruelty of the powerful fears the same power. Just like the governor Wang, he can bully others unscrupulously, but when he hears about Guo Shao, he acts harmless to humans and animals.

What's more, Guo Shao's dangerous side is not against his own people. He has a tall and strong body full of violence, but also has a correct and polite manner.

... After the two of them had lunch, Guo Shao asked someone to arrange for Mrs. Huarui to rest in this side room, and he left on business.

It is very quiet here, Mrs. Huarui feels very lazy after eating a full meal, and there is a collapse in the wing room, and there are quilts. He lay on the couch with his body, wanting to squint for a while to rest his mind.

Unexpectedly, she fell asleep, and slept soundly.

When she woke up, Mrs. Huarui found that the surrounding light was dim, and the sun had disappeared. Immediately got up in a hurry, a burst of annoyance, but also felt incredible.

Normally, she is quite alert even when she sleeps at night, and she wakes up easily; it is even more difficult to fall asleep during the day, and she can close her eyes and rest for a while in the afternoon at most... Now in someone else's house, she suddenly fell asleep without paying attention.

Perhaps because Guo Shao is so reassuring here! Mrs. Huarui felt comfortable and very safe, she didn't have any worries at all, that's why she slept so soundly.

She walked out of the wing room and met Jing Niang. Seeing the weather like this, he didn't dare to stay too long, so he said a few words to Jing Niang and declined dinner. Hurry up and go home, otherwise it would be shameful to go back after dark alone.

... But when Mrs. Huarui returned home, she found that she was too worried. When she returned, Meng Chang hadn't arrived yet.

After dinner, she waited for Meng Chang in the hall, thinking about how to talk to Meng Chang. If he asked about today's affairs, how would he deal with it... Mrs. Huarui felt a little guilty. Although she could not say that she had betrayed Meng Chang, she really missed being with Guo Shao in her heart.

Late at night, Meng Chang came home. When Mrs. Huarui saw him, she found herself worrying too much again.

But seeing Meng Chang's dejected face, he was a little absent-minded, obviously not caring about Mrs. Huarui's affairs.

"Losing?" Madam Huarui asked directly.

Meng Chang nodded dejectedly, and sat down on the chair. The maid said at the door: "Ah Lang, wait a minute, my servant will go to the kitchen to fetch hot water for you."

Mrs. Huarui didn't take it seriously: "Money is something other than money, as long as you understand what the game is about. If Governor Wang is dismissed, the government should not dare to withhold Alang's salary; after two days, you may have money to spend. Don't pay too much attention to the money you lose."

Meng Chang said: "Not only did I lose all the money I won yesterday, but I also borrowed 600,000 yuan, which is almost more than 1,000 guan (copper coins at this time are regarded as worthwhile, and 400 to 800 guan is consistent)... I borrowed my salary as collateral."

Mrs. Huarui's face changed slightly after hearing this: "When you lost everything, why didn't you come to your senses? Six hundred thousand yuan, even if you get two months' salary back, it's still not enough...how much profit?"

Meng Chang said: "Ten coins, four coins per month. Less than one month is four coins."

"This..." Mrs. Huarui couldn't sit still, "Then you won't be able to pay back your salary!"

"Yeah." Meng Chang said helplessly, "In the beginning, there were losses and wins, but I didn't know how to lose it all. I didn't pay attention to it. Later, I said I could borrow it... I think I used to reward ministers with thousands of pennies! What is more than one thousand pennies? I borrowed money, and I won some at first; but I didn't get back what I won yesterday.

Meng Chang patted the table, and said with frustration, "I'm still careless! When I'm unlucky, I should stop; if I knew I'd written back a part of the book, I'd let the two ladies spend the afternoon comfortably, so I didn't lose that much!"

"If you lose, you lose. Don't worry about it anymore." Mrs. Huarui said, "Let's pay off the high interest debt as soon as possible, and don't touch that kind of thing in the future."

Meng Chang said, "How can I pay it back?"

Mrs. Huarui didn't talk about how to pay it back, and she focused on persuading: "Those people in the gambling shop are treacherous, slick, and mercenary. A Lang is different from them. A person like you will definitely be used in that kind of place."

Meng Chang said: "That Governor Wang is rich, didn't he want to bribe yesterday..."

"You can't take Governor Wang's money!" Mrs. Huarui frowned, "His official status has been cut off by the Ministry of Officials, you took his money, how can you get him back to his post? Don't forget why we are in Tokyo! Six hundred thousand... When I get my salary, I will pay back some, and I have some left over, which is almost enough.

If you owe money, pay it off in full. This is the easiest and least troublesome way. If you lose some money, take it as a lesson. "

After saying that, Mrs. Huarui got up and went back to the bedroom. After a long time, she came out with a box and some new silk clothes; the rouge pollen that Meng Chang bought last night.

She opened the box and saw some precious stones and gold and silver jewelry inside. She rummaged inside for a while with her hands, and after doing some calculations, Mrs. Huarui took off the ring on her finger and the bracelet on her wrist and threw them in.

Meng Chang watched silently, his face was very ugly, and he sighed with shame: "It's just more than a thousand yuan, and I was forced to this point."

"Ah Lang, as the Duke of Qin, has no power, so he can only get some salary; he has neither land property nor management. Even the title deed of this mansion is not yours." Mrs. Huarui sighed, "What do you have, you know what you have, how can you afford to squander it?"

After some calculations, she said: "Tomorrow I will ask Wei Zhong to go out with you. The rouge pollen I bought is unused, so I return it at a low price; the clothes and jewelry are pawned at the pawnshop. Pay back some money first, and the rest can be paid off after receiving the salary."

Meng Chang bowed his head and said, "Madam doesn't even have any jewelry, how shabby it is in front of people..."

Mrs. Huarui glanced at him. When Meng Chang was the emperor, how could he say such words of caring for others? She immediately said nicely: "It doesn't matter, they are all belongings outside the body. Those lowly gamblers just cheated Alang of some money. Alang is still the Duke of Qin, and a person with a title of title does not need to be as knowledgeable as those people."

After Mrs. Huarui finished speaking, she remembered the mullet at noon. A person like Meng Chang who has lived in the palace for a long time is probably not a mullet outside, but grass carp and silver carp eaten by mullet. She was really disappointed... But when she thought about how she felt with Guo Shao, she was very ashamed; she felt that she was a woman who was quick to change her mind and flirtatious.

Mrs. Huarui couldn't help questioning herself, could a woman who had been a singing girl be so ruthless?

"Pay off the debt, and Ah Lang can live a life without worrying about food and clothing." Mrs. Huarui persuaded, "You don't want to mess with the women in the fireworks land. They don't tell the truth, they just want to cheat your money. If you think Tweety is not enough, wait until you have saved up your salary and buy a few maidservants and concubines; at least you can add a few more people with the money."

Meng Chang fully agreed that the matter could be resolved, so he relaxed, and said with a smile: "Tonight, Fu Rong will serve you in bed, let me go to get rid of bad luck."

Mrs. Huarui felt conflicted in her heart immediately, and hurriedly said: "I'm not feeling well, let's talk about it later."

She was struggling again. When Meng Chang was the emperor, she didn't dislike him. She had to compete with thousands of women, and she might not be able to get lucky once a month; but now she has long been disgusted with being close to him. Sure enough, likes and dislikes are things that can easily change.
