Gao Yanqiu said goodbye, and Guo Shao stood up to see him out.He passed by Mrs. Huarui and turned his head and said, "Madam, sit here for a while, I'll go see General Gao off."

His tone was very casual and his eyes passed by, but just this sentence made Mrs. Huarui feel a sense of being cared for and missed... It was like family members and close friends who usually greeted him when they wanted to do something, which was very casual and natural.

In just one sentence, Guo Shao does have a difficult meaning to people.No wonder Gao Yanjun and Guo Shao got along so happily.

Um.Mrs. Huarui responded softly.

At this time, she could not feel inferiority and panic at all, and seemed to have forgotten her situation.

It was amazing. Before meeting Guo Shao, Mrs. Huarui felt that she was a person who might be homeless at any time and had no sense of trust in the world, and was full of uncertainty about the future; but for a moment she suddenly felt very at ease.

Guo Shao disappeared outside the door, and Mrs. Huarui sat in the living room a little bored and waited.

She couldn't help but reach out and touch her cheek. The injury she had been healed a few days ago, so she shouldn't see any flaws.

But before coming today, I was in a bad mood and had no interest in anything. She didn't dress up, didn't even apply light makeup at all, and didn't pick out the clothes... Will she be a little embarrassed now?

Mrs. Huarui became a little annoyed.

Soon, Guo Shao returned to the living room. Mrs. Huarui lowered her eyes, leaving only the two of them. She suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

Guo Shao sat down directly on the chair next to her, and the two of them were separated by a tea table.

He spoke: The Shu Kingdom was destroyed, and the court was quite kind to the monarch and ministers of Shu Kingdom.It is really regrettable that Duke Qin wrote a secret letter; but as long as he stops doing that kind of thing in the future, safety can still be guaranteed.Don't worry, madam, don't worry.

Mrs. Huarui hurriedly said: Alang is very regretful and scared now.

After saying that, her face became slightly hot when she remembered Meng Chang's happy expression this morning and put all the dangers behind her.

Since Duke Qin regretted it, there is still a chance now.Guo Shao said gently, Madam, you must believe in my sincerity.There are many kings in the world. Apart from the Northern Han Dynasty, only the king of Shu was unwilling to give up the throne.If the court could tolerate even the lord of Shu, other monarchs would not be so worried...especially the lord of Wu and Yue.

Mrs. Huarui immediately believed his words because it was indeed the case.Even she had never thought about this kind of consideration, and Guo Shao thought farther than her.

She observed Guo Shao quietly, feeling that his appearance was not that attractive, probably because he was a little dark and had rough skin. She was not the one who could be liked by women after seeing it. It was very ordinary.

But if you stay with him for a while, and with your attention, Mrs. Huarui can feel his breath that makes people feel clean and comfortable... Perhaps it is because of the white teeth he showed when he spoke, although his face was a little black, his teeth were very clean; perhaps it is because of his upright sitting posture, his modest and gentle restrained temperament; or perhaps it is his old, but clean and tidy clothes.

In short, Mrs. Huarui felt that the man in front of her had no sense of dust and had no breath of power.

Although she is of a low origin, she has indeed seen many powerful people. The woman's intuition is also very sensitive, and she has never seen someone like Guo Shao.

At this moment, a young general walked in and clasped his fists and said: "Lord, Cao Bin is asking for a meeting."

Cao Bin has returned to Tokyo?Guo Shao said, go and welcome him in.

Look.The general replied.

Mrs. Huarui hurriedly said: I will delay Guo Du’s investigation work here, right?

Haha, I don’t know what’s going on today, the guests I want to meet are the people I want to meet.Guo Shao smiled and said, "There are not so many guests at home to meet you." Most of the people, I don't have to come out in person... There is a screen inside, so let's sit behind for a while."Cao Bin may not be able to stay for long, and I am not very familiar with him.

Mrs. Huarui stood up and changed into a place as she spoke.At this time, Guo Shao also walked out of the living room and waited outside the door.

There was a voice outside, and Guo Shao talked about the Shu Kingdom with the man named Cao Bin. It could be heard that Cao Bin was stationed in Shu Kingdom before... Mrs. Huarui had no one to accompany her, but she didn't find it boring. It was quite interesting to hear them talking; this was probably why Guo Shao didn't let her leave the living room. If she waited for the mother of Jing in a room and sat there without doing anything, she would feel very difficult.

The business of the generals does not sound particularly interesting, just like reading the classics and history, which is a bit boring, but it is still quite interesting as long as you can calm down and read it.

Guo Shao's voice said: I originally planned to send envoys to Wuyue Kingdom, but if it was too early, the time would be inappropriate.Li Chuyun has made great progress in Wuping recently, and the time is almost the same.I will write a letter to recommend candidates recently. I think it is better to send military generals to you, and you don’t have to rush back to China after you go on a mission... Is General Cao interested in this trip?

Cao Bin's voice said: The last general is to serve the country in order to serve the country. If there is a place to use force, he will definitely work hard.

Very good, Xiang Gong really didn't see the wrong person.Guo Shao's voice praised.

The two of them said a while, then they calmed down and went out.

Mrs. Huarui pondered about their conversation and guessed that the Great Zhou Dynasty had already deployed military service to the Southern Tang State... She thought to herself that the Southern Tang State might have existed for a short time; her judgment was not an analysis of the military strength and deployment of both sides, but was entirely intuitive because she believed in Guo Shao's ability.

At this time, Mrs. Huarui suddenly had an idea. If Guo Shao was the emperor of Shu, she might not have been arrested in Tokyo yet, and she would not have been worried about being arrested.

Guo Shao walked behind the screen and came. Mrs. Huarui hurriedly got up and said a little restrainedly: It's too much trouble for Guo Du to check.

Guo Shao ignored her politeness and just muttered: It's almost noon, and my mother hasn't come back yet. I guess she's going to have lunch in the Taoist temple.If there is nothing important to you, I wonder if I can invite you to have lunch together?

Guo Du treated him with courtesy... Mrs. Huarui didn't want to refuse, and she couldn't even say anything politely refused.

Guo Shao simply said: It’s just a casual meal, so you shouldn’t be polite, right?

Mrs. Huarui felt her face was a little spicy and didn't make a sound for a while.She does like this place a little bit and stays next to Guo Shao.

Guo Shao said again: I live in the second yard, I will take you over and have a walk around. In the future, my wife can come to her if she has time.I told the servant to prepare some simple wine and dishes at noon... I just got a chef this year and his craftsmanship is pretty good. It is said that her family specializes in serving meals for people at weddings and weddings, and her family-born craftsmanship is passed down.

Mrs. Huarui followed Guo Shao out of the living room and entered a gatehouse.

She was a little dizzy, and after she came in, she realized that if Guo Shao wanted to do anything to her, she would be just falling into the trap.

But she was not afraid at all... She knew herself very well, but it was difficult to trust others. Her strong sense of prevention was related to her experience; but for some reason, Guo Shao, a martial artist who was almost a stranger, made her not worried at all after meeting her for a few times.

Mrs. Huarui thought to herself that if a person with his status is useless to prevent him, he may look down on him even if he throws himself into his arms... I was rejected last time, which is really embarrassing.

Walking to the north, a gatehouse inside attracted Mrs. Huarui's attention.

The arc-shaped bridge in mid-air was indeed a bit special, with a faint wind of the Qin and Han dynasties.

The two of them talked for a while while walking, and then they came to a dining room to take a seat.

There was no one else, only Guo Shao invited her to have a meal, which was indeed a very casual banquet.

Guo Shao smiled and said: My yard will be transferred in a short time. There is also a back garden inside, which is not much bigger than the second yard.This place is incomparable to the Shu Palace. I have been to Shu Palace. It will take a whole day to walk around.

Mrs. Huarui said casually: Your mansion is naturally much smaller than the palace, but no matter how big the palace is, it does not belong to me, and this is General Guo’s own mansion.The layout is also very beautiful, and the gatehouse in the north is as round as a rainbow.

Guo Shao said: That's right.Not to mention humans, it is said that there is a kind of birds building nests, which can also specially choose beautiful flowers and plants, arrange their nests to look very beautiful, and then attract female birds to come.

Mrs. Huarui blushed and said: I have never heard of such a thing...

At this time, two middle-aged women with ordinary appearance came in with food boxes to prepare the meal. A few exquisite white porcelain plates containing dishes were placed on the table, and then there was a steamed fish.

The purple-red wine is crystal clear and beautiful in the glass wine pot.

There were not many dishes, but they were very careful and Mrs. Huarui felt very comfortable.

The sound of piano coming from the distance in the north is leisurely rippling in the quiet air.

The sound of the piano was far away, obviously not for the meal here. It might be that a certain wife and concubine or prostitute of Guo Shao was still practicing the rhythm... but it accidentally added a bit of elegant interest to the place.

The sound is just right. When they are talking, it will not affect the conversation because it is farther away; when it is quiet, it can affect the atmosphere, and you can listen to it without feeling embarrassed.

In this way, Guo Shao and Mrs. Huarui don’t have to keep talking, but they just want to speak, and they feel very relaxed and casual.

Guo Shao took the glass, poured wine with his own hands, and handed a cup to Mrs. Huarui.

He said: Originally, I usually don’t drink at noon, but my wife is a guest. I always feel that it’s less meaningful if I don’t drink some wine. Maybe this is the “no wine can’t be a meal”.

Mrs. Huarui picked up the glass, and Guo Shao took the initiative to toast.Mrs. Huarui said softly: I would like to thank General Guo for your hospitality.After saying that, he took a sip.

The taste is not very good, Mrs. Huarui remembers that the wine is generally sweet.

But this wine is not very sweet, and it lacks the mellow aroma of white wine and rice wine, so I really don’t get used to it.

But Mrs. Huarui certainly didn't say it, otherwise it would be a bit rude if she disliked her wine.

Guo Shao glanced at her: The insider made sweet, but I think it was not very harmonious with the salty dishes when drinking sweet wine during meals.This kind of wine made from fruit may not be very delicious at the beginning, but when you get used to it, you will feel that it is quite easy. Madam will tell you.

When Mrs. Huarui heard this, she felt that the wine was a bit like her own feelings.
