Chapter 421: The Fish-Eating Fish
The sound of the piano is melodious and quiet, and the autumn is cool; There was a slight hot warmth on Madame Blossom's face. When you drink this kind of wine, you don't feel much alcohol in your mouth, but you don't have a lot of stamina; She had just drunk half a glass and was already feeling a little hot.
If she pays a little attention, she can feel Guo Shao's carefulness and attention...... For example, Guo Shao's timing of persuading wine was very appropriate, and he only picked up the wine glass after she took a small bite of a piece of fish and swallowed it. Everything fell into place, and Madame Blossom would not have the haste of chewing something in her mouth and having to be forced to raise her glass.
"In ancient times, people didn't have a house to live in, they generally lived in caves." Guo Shao put down the cup and said.
Madame Blossom watched and listened to him with great interest. This kind of comfortable mood is like the feeling of drinking a little wine, fluttering. She felt that her complexion had become better, her eyes were brighter, and her whole person was much more beautiful...... This kind of self-affirmation is wonderful, like the joy of putting on a very beautiful new garment.
It's a pity that I didn't pay attention to myself before going out today, and Mrs. Hua Rui was very dissatisfied with the dress on her body, and she knew that she would have put a little thought into it. This dress is not well cut and makes the body look a little bloated.
Guo Shao's voice said: "Men go up the mountain to hunt, and women sew and mend in the cave to protect their children. The cold, moisture, beasts and insects in the cave can harm the lives of women and children, so women are very alert and sensitive to their surroundings. Does Madame feel that this is still the case? ”
Madame Hua Rui thought for a moment and smiled: "General Guo is quite good at pondering. ”
"Hey, hey." Guo Shaohan laughed, picked up a large piece of fish meat with chopsticks, and put it in Mrs. Hua Rui's small bowl, "This is mullet, eat more." There is a miracle doctor in our family who said that it has the effect of removing stasis and renewing, nourishing and recuperating. ”
Madame Blossom followed his gaze and gently placed her hand on her left cheek.
Guo Shao said indifferently: "That person will pay the price." ”
Madame Blossom was trying to pretend to be tolerant, and she was in a good mood and broad-minded. When her words came to her lips, she found that Guo Shao's gaze shifted from her cheeks to her chest. Madame Blossom's heart was slightly confused, and she couldn't speak.
She silently took a sip of the fish, and it tasted good. The belly of the fish is stuffed with seasonings such as bean drums, large incense, green onions, etc., which can remove the heavy fishy smell of freshwater fish; It retains the unique flavor of meat dishes.
Madame Hua Rui was very fond of food, and when she ate the fish, she stopped mentioning Governor Wang, and said, "The mullet has few spines, and it is very delicious." ”
"Grass carp and silver carp are vegetarians, so the meat is full of spines, which has a self-defense effect on carnivores." Guo Shao said, "The mullet feeds on fish and shrimp, and it doesn't need a lot of fish bones. ”
Madame Blossom glanced up at him, and felt a wild aggression in her words.
But she is not afraid, she has experienced countless times that the weak eat the strong in this world. I also know that the cruelty of the powerful is afraid of the same power. Just like Governor Wang, he can ** others unscrupulously, but as soon as he heard Guo Shao, he behaved harmless.
What's more, Guo Shao's dangerous side is not his own people. He has a tall and sturdy body full of violent power, but he also has a decent and polite demeanor.
…… After the two had lunch, Guo Shao asked someone to arrange for Mrs. Hua Rui to rest in this side room, and he had something to leave.
It was very quiet here, and Mrs. Hua Rui felt very lazy when she was full, and saw that there was a collapse in the side room, and there was a quilt. He lay on the couch with his body, wanting to squint casually for a while.
Unexpectedly, she fell asleep and slept soundly.
When she awoke, Madame Blossom found that the light around her was a little dim, and the sun was gone. Immediately hurriedly got up, a moment of annoyance, and felt incredible.
Usually 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 at most close your eyes for a while in the afternoon...... Now in someone else's house, I fall asleep without paying attention.
Maybe it's because Guo Shao is so reassuring here! Madame Blossom felt comfortable and safe, and she didn't have any worries, so she slept so deadly.
She walked out of the wing room and ran into Jing Niang. Seeing that the sky was like this, I didn't dare to stay too long, and I said a few words to Jing Niang, and refused dinner. Hurry up and go home, otherwise it would be too unpleasant to go back alone after dark.
…… But when Mrs. Hua Rui returned home, she found that she was worried too much, and when she returned, Meng Chang had not yet arrived home.
After she had dinner, she waited for Meng Chang in the hall while thinking about how to talk to Meng Chang. If he asks about today, how will he pay for the promise...... Mrs. Hua Rui is a little weak-hearted, although she can't talk about betraying Meng Chang, she is really nostalgic for being with Guo Shao in her heart.
Late at night, Meng Chang came home. As soon as Madame Blossom saw him, she again found herself worried too much.
But seeing Meng Chang's depressed face, he was a little distracted, obviously not caring about Mrs. Hua Rui's affairs.
"Lost?" Madame Blossom asked directly.
Meng Chang nodded dejectedly and sat down in his chair dejectedly. The palace maid said at the door: "Ah Lang, wait, the slave family will go to the kitchen to get hot water for you." ”
Madame Blossom disagreed: "Money and other things, just understand what the gambling game is all about." The governor of the king was dismissed, and the government should not dare to intercept Ah Lang's fortune again; Wait another two days and you might have money to spend. Don't worry too much about losing money. ”
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 yuan (at this time, the copper coins are considered to be fine, and 400 to 800 wen is consistent)...... He who borrowed money as collateral. ”
Mrs. Blossom's face changed slightly after hearing this: "Why didn't you wake up when you lost everything?" 600,000 yuan, even if you get two months' worth of money, it's not enough...... How much profit? ”
Meng Chang said: "Ten cents, four cents per month." Less than a month is also four texts. ”
"This ......," Madame Blossom couldn't sit still, "then you won't be able to pay it back if you take it!" ”
"yes." Meng Chang said helplessly, "At the beginning, there were losses and wins, but I didn't know what was going on, and I slowly lost everything, and I didn't pay attention to it." Later, I said that I could borrow ...... I think that back then, I often rewarded the ministers! What is more than a thousand? borrowed money and won some at first; But as soon as I calculated, I haven't gotten back what I won yesterday, and I was greedy for a while, but I lost more and more......"
Meng Chang patted the table and said with a look of chagrin: "It's still careless!" When I'm unlucky, I should stop; I knew that after returning to a part of the book, I asked the two little ladies to spend the afternoon comfortably, and I didn't lose so much! ”
"If you lose, you lose, don't worry about it." Madame Blossom said, "Let's pay off the debts of usury as soon as possible, and don't touch that kind of thing in the future." ”
Meng Chang said: "But how can you pay it back?" ”
Mrs. Hua Rui didn't say how to pay it back, and tried to persuade her: "Those people in the gambling house are treacherous and mercenary, Ah Lang is different from them, people like you will definitely be used when they go to that kind of place." ”
Meng Chang said: "That Governor Wang is rich, didn't he want to bribe ...... yesterday?"
"You can't ask for Governor Wang's money!" Madame Hua Rui frowned and said, "His official status has been stripped by the officials, and you have received his money, what is there to do to reinstate him?" Don't forget why we're in Tokyo! 600,000 ...... When I get some of the money, I still have a little bit of the rest, which is almost enough.
You owe money, pay it off in 1510, this is the easiest and least troublesome way. Losing some money is a lesson. ”
Madame Blossom got up and went back to the bedchamber, and after a long time came out with a box, and a few new silk garments; The rouge pollen that Meng Chang bought back last night.
She opened the box and saw that it contained some precious stones and gold and silver jewelry. After rummaging through it for a while, Madame Blossom took off the ring on her finger and the bracelet on her wrist and threw it in.
Meng Chang watched silently, his face was very ugly, and he sighed with shame: "It's just more than a thousand dollars, and it was forced to this point." ”
"Ah Lang is the identity of the Duke of Qin, and he has no power, so he can only take some money; There is no land industry or business. Not even the title deed of this mansion is yours. Madame Blossom sighed, "What do you have, you have a number in your heart, how can you afford to squander and lose?" ”
She calculated and said, "Tomorrow I will ask Wei Zhong to go out with you, and the rouge pollen I bought has not been used, and I will return it at a low price; Clothes and jewelry were taken to the pawnshop. Pay back some money first, and the rest will be paid off after receiving it. ”
Meng Chang lowered his head and said: "Madame doesn't even have a piece of jewelry, how cold it is in front of people......
Madame Hua Rui glanced at him, when Meng Chang was the emperor in the past, how could he say such distressing words to others? She immediately said, "It doesn't matter, it's all outside the body." Those lowly gamblers just cheated Ah Lang for a little money. Ah Lang is still the Duke of Qin, a person with a knighthood, so he doesn't have to be familiar with those people. ”
After Mrs. Blossom 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 a grass carp and silver carp that are eaten by mullets. She was a little disappointed...... However, when I thought of Guo Shao's feelings, I was very ashamed; She felt that she was a woman who had seen strange thoughts and watery poplars.
Madame Blossom couldn't help but question herself, could a woman who had been a courtesan be so ruthless and unrighteous?
"After paying off the debt, Ah Lang can still live a worry-free life." Madame Blossom persuaded with good words, "You don't mess with the women of the land of fireworks, they don't tell the truth, they all want to cheat you out of your money." If you feel that Cui'er is not enough, wait for you to accumulate a lot of money, and then buy a few maidservants and concubines to come back; After spending money, you can at least add a few people. ”
Meng Chang promised that if the matter could be solved, he relaxed and said with a smile: "Furong will sleep tonight, let me go to bad luck." ”
Mrs. Hua Rui suddenly resisted in her heart, and hurriedly said: "I'm not feeling well, let's talk about it later." ”
She was entangled again, when Meng Chang was the emperor, she didn't dislike him, and she had to compete with thousands of women for favor, and she might not be able to be lucky once a month; Now I've been disgusted with being close to him for a long time.,Sure enough, any likes and dislikes are things that are easy to change.。
