5days ago traverse Novels 2
Before Guo Shao left the inn, he sent Lu Chengyong to Chen Jiali's mansion to say hello.

Lu Chengyong rode his horse to the front of Chen Mansion. This remote area in the west of the city was blocked for a long time today. The street was full of cars and horses, and a group of people were queuing outside the gate.

Lu Chengyong was not wearing armor at this moment, and he didn't even wear a hat on his robes and hoods. He rode his horse straight on, but heard some people cursing: There was a little rule of coming first and then coming, waiting behind.

After hearing this, he asked: What are you doing?

We will do whatever you come.A fat man in silk robe snorted.

Lu Chengyong ignored them and went straight to the door and shouted.

...In a wing room in the front yard, there was only a bamboo curtain hanging at the door, and a few people stood under the eaves, but did not enter.They were bowing and talking to the inside.

In the room, Chen Jiali held her hands in front of her belly, walked slowly for a few steps, and sighed: I am a widowed and pretty woman. I am usually careful to cause trouble. You are all husbands, so why do you always do at home?

A middle-aged man bent down and said, "Madam Chen (Shen Chen) is still a member of our Shen family after all. If you don't care about the former head of the family, Dalang has called you a mother for several years." For the sake of Dalang, we came forward to preside over the major business events, and everyone is looking forward to your coming out.

Chen Jiali showed a smile on her lips, but her tone was very resentful: How dare I say this? Brother Chen really ruined me. I hid in this secluded place. My second sister-in-law didn't say me behind my back... Oh, it's so ugly, I can't speak.

I will definitely deal with this woman who doesn’t know the general situation when I go back!The middle-aged man said annoyed, we are here to apologize today. We used to treat our wife too badly. We have a lot of wives, but we don’t care about it, so we can help us get the goods back.This kindness is unforgettable to our Shen family.

An old man said annoyed: What bad things did she really say? In the afternoon, I went to the mansion and kowtowed to Mrs. Chen in person to admit my mistake!

Chen Jiali hurriedly said: Don’t do this. Although the second sister-in-law is not from the family, she is older than me. Do you want her to hate me so much?

Another young man wearing a robe and a fan hurriedly said: Now that Shu Road has been controlled by Zhou Jun, we can't wait to seize the supply of goods and make other companies a waste of money.Since the wife has such a big backer, if she comes forward, many people are waiting to send money to invest, and we have nothing to lack.

Someone excitedly said: With the great backer of the Zhou imperial relatives, we can get involved in the salt industry in the future...

Chen Jiali said with ease: What a backer? It’s just that she has done a few business with her family and has a little friendship.You are so ugly, and there are some gossips, as if I am not a wife.

The middle-aged merchant immediately said seriously: Who in our business gang dares to slander his wife's pure reputation? Both the gods and gods are angry!No one can forgive him!

Everyone immediately agreed: Yes, yes... The lady was widowed and refused to marry at a young age. She raised Shen Dalang with great difficulty. I suggested that the officials of Kaifeng Prefecture report to establish a chastity arch for the wife. In this chaotic world, there are not many people who are as polite as Madam Chen, and there are people who slander their reputations. They are really inferior to pigs and dogs!

Why didn’t Chen Weng come? It would be easier if you invite Chen Weng…

At this moment, a middle-aged woman hurried in and called out at the door: Madam.Chen Jiali responded, and the woman lifted the curtain and walked in, whispering a few words in front of Chen Jiali.

Chen Jiali was immediately delighted and said: Get a carriage and horse.

She hurriedly took off the veil and put it on, walked out of the door, and everyone looked at her respectfully: Madam...

Chen Jiali said: This is such a big deal, let’s talk about it later.I want to deal with some urgent matters.

She took a carriage out and walked all the way north to the west market.

Aunt Sun was riding in the same car as her. Chen Jiali's face turned red and she whispered: Those people just said they wanted to set up a chastity arch for me, which made me laugh so much. Will I be able to like that thing?

Aunt Sun said: The Zhou army's martial arts man was unmoved to return the goods. Not to mention the Chen-Li Shang Gang, those small merchants all believed that their wife's road was open to the sky.

Chen Jiali whispered: It's just his words, and I didn't do anything.

Aunt Sun smiled and said: The Nanping National High School Baoxu, who had our piece of goods, was so scared that he didn't say that he had eaten all the food, and he also told us that he had so many wealth of unknown origins were vain.

That's nothing, I've never seen money.Chen Jiali raised her head and said, "I'm going to let out a vent but it's very comfortable. The shrew who only knows how to say bad things behind my back, I wonder if I will come to kowtow to me tomorrow, hum!"I don't even look at what I am, and I have the face to humiliate me.

Aunt Sun echoed: I heard that Chen Er bought a house outside and raised a concubine, and he didn't go home once every ten days and half a month, and that woman seemed to be a widow.

Soon after, they arrived at the place. The group entered through the warehouse entrance behind the shop and asked clearly where Guo Shao was.

Chen Jiali stopped her entourage and walked in with Aunt Sun one after another. She saw Guo Shao and a young lady sitting next to the table waiting.

Chen Jiali glanced at her and couldn't help but be slightly stunned.This guy Shao made friends with is strange. Last time, he brought someone who was dirty and smelly and hungry. This time, he would be better, bring a village girl!

Chen Jiali really couldn't tell what it felt. It would be fine if a woman like her cousin Zhou Xian could make Guo Shao care about her. What kind of relationship he had with a village girl was, and she didn't think about what kind of person she was, so why bother to destroy herself.

However, Chen Jiali certainly would not show her thoughts, but she smiled and made a happy wish: I am polite, and congratulate General Guo on his victory in the attack on Shu.

Guo Shao casually clasped his fists and replied with a smile: Congratulations and joys together, and calm the war in the world, which is good for all industries.

General Guo made sense. Those powerful people who hold fertile land may not care so much, but people like us who do business most hope that the business road will be smooth and the road will be safe.Chen Jiali said casually.

Unexpectedly, Guo Shao felt thoughtful after hearing this and didn't answer the topic for a long time.

Chen Jiali naturally turned her eyes to the village girl next to her, with a favorite smile on her face. The village girl had never seen the world at first sight, so she wouldn't say anything about her dressing in rustic style. She didn't even have some etiquette just now.

Chen Jiali said: What a beautiful little lady, I wonder who General Guo is?

Guo Shao said: Her surname is Lu, and her father is named Doctor Lu, and he is an old friend of me.Mrs. Chen, don’t look at Miss Lu’s age. Her medical skills have become very famous early on.Madam Lu, this is my good friend Mrs. Chen.

Sure enough, the little lady looked at herself with bright eyes and was quite imposing.Chen Jiali saluted with a smile: The wall can receive Mrs. Lu, and it is a great honor.Lu Lan still said nothing.

Guo Shao said: Mrs. Chen took Lady Lu to pick up a few clothes without using silk and satin. She may not be used to wearing them for the time being, just a simpler one is enough.After saying that, he turned around and advised Lu Lan very gently: The linen is too thick and uncomfortable to wear. This is the reward you deserve, so don’t mind.

Lu Lan said helplessly: OK.I only said two words, and the accent was completely different from that of Tokyoites.

Chen Jiali said: Let’s change the place, it’s upstairs.

The group got up and went to a very luxurious room.

There are several ready-to-wear pieces hanging outside, tables and chairs, and even chessboards; there is a round hole door with exquisite embroidery inside, which is where women's underwear and clothes are placed.

Since Guo Shao brought the people in person, how could Chen Jiali be negligent? She brought her little lady into the warm room to pick expensive materials.

Chen Jiali smiled and said: Mrs. Lu took off her clothes first, let’s try the one inside first.

I saw Lu Lan pulling her clothes, feeling very upset.

Chen Jiali said softly: You see, all the people serving you are women, there is not even a window here.Some rich ladies in Tokyo dare to change their clothes here, don’t worry.

Only then did Lu Lan untied her clothes.

Chen Jiali looked at her calmly, thinking that Guo Shao's eyes were actually quite poisonous. Although this girl was petite, her figure and skin were very good, and few women could compare with her breasts.

However, wearing a fat dress with insignificant tailoring affects his appearance, and his whole body is as pure and unrestrained as a lotus root with a rough shell.

I just heard General Guo say that he didn't bring any money and probably had to pay on credit.Lu Lan seemed to like Chen Jiali a little, and finally talked to her, so she didn't have to choose something too expensive.

Chen Jiali laughed at this and said: Don’t worry, I’ll choose the cheap one. If he loses money, I won’t lose much.

Lu Lan said: It’s not enough to be dependent on the debt.

Chen Jiali took a light-colored floral and dark collared top: Try this one, you see, it’s cloth, it’s not worth much money.

This material is made of two threads of silk and cotton. This kind of cotton has to be trafficked from the Western Regions, and it is very slow to weave, requiring the most skilled and careful weaver; the patterns on it are even more laborious.

This material does not look brighter than silk, but it is more than ten times more expensive than ordinary silk. It is sweat-absorbing and breathable when worn. Lady prefers to wear it in summer.

The quality of cutting and the stitches on it are not something that ordinary tailors can do, and the clothes in the palace may not be as specialized as merchants.

Lady Lu picked up the corner of her clothes and took a look: The things in the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty are indeed very good.

Chen Jiali smiled but said nothing, thinking: This little lady is not an ordinary village girl, she is quite sensible.

Moreover, Chen Jiali took a casual look and found that the little lady had pierced her ears but she didn't wear earrings. The little lady was obviously not a regular person, and she probably just had a bad family background.

Chen Jiali asked someone to serve her clothes and called Aunt Sun over. Soon, Aunt Sun took a jewelry box in.

Chen Jiali picked a pair of the smallest gold earrings for her to wear for Mrs. Lu. At first glance, it was not obvious, but the carved patterns of the earrings were very small, which fits the simple appearance and exquisite inner dress... Just like what Guo Shao said.

After a while, Miss Lu changed her clothes from inside to outside and dressed neatly.

Guo Shao's expression was stunned.

Chen Jiali praised beside her: There is a mirror over there, but you don’t look down on you, but no woman dares to look down on you.If there is, she must be an inexperienced vulgar person.

Lady Lu looked at the bronze mirror, not saying anything, but her face turned red, and she should be very happy.
