Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

Chapter 27 Fermentation

From morning to dusk, Yulian had been waiting inside Chen Qiaomen. Yesterday, I heard that many people went to Tokyo to welcome the imperial army who returned to the imperial court. The emperor led the imperial army to Chenqiaoyi, and they may go to Tokyo today.

The dog days of the sun have been basking all day, and the streets of Tokyo are as hot as a steamer. Yulian had been drying under a pear tree for a whole day, her whole face was flushed, beads of sweat were dripping from the tip of her nose, and her body was covered with greasy sweat. But she didn't dare to leave half a step away, she didn't even eat lunch, and drank a bowl of herbal tea on the side of the street when she couldn't get thirsty. She could hardly feel the heat, because there was a stronger feeling in her heart, worry. If the news of Brother Shao's death came, I really don't know how to relieve my sadness.

Yulian has lived in this world for twenty years and has met many people, but she knows very well that the only person who is really kind to her is Brother Shao... Even if his kindness is so silent and usually so indifferent, it is often necessary to suppress it in order to maintain morality.

Brother Shao is good, surpassing everyone, including his own father. She believed that Brother Shao would not sell her! She didn't have such a strong feeling before, but after the separation, when she felt that she might lose him, this fear brewed in her heart and became more exaggerated.

Maybe brother Shao didn't take himself so seriously, maybe he just sympathized with pity...just like he pities the man of the Chen family. But Yulian can't control her emotions, because no one has ever really cared about her and treated her as a human being. Others either covet beauty, or treat her as a commodity that can be exchanged for money.

If there is no Brother Shao, will there still be people in this world who care about their own lives?

At dusk, a large number of troops finally entered the city, and the people waiting silently by the road were in an uproar. Some people have already found their own men in the ranks, jumping up and down, waving and shouting, completely disregarding military discipline, many ordinary people put tea and porridge in bowls for the soldiers to drink; There was an old woman who was told by the soldiers that so-and-so died in battle in Jinyang. She knelt on the side of the road and screamed, crying: "My son..."

Yulian stretched her neck, panting lightly, staring at each other with wide eyes without blinking.

God, don't let him die!

At this moment, she suddenly saw a man in a brocade robe riding a tall horse. The bright brocade robe and high position made him very conspicuous. The soldiers were all on foot, respectful to him, and someone led the horse... Isn't that Brother Shao?

Yulian opened her mouth, and found that she couldn't make a sound, her voice was not hoarse, but she couldn't yell. She bit her lip, and looked at Brother Shao intently. It seemed that he had made great achievements and was promoted, and the brocade robe on his body was obviously something that could only be rewarded by the royal family. Otherwise, he would buy himself a fancy brocade robe on the way back from the expedition?

After a while, an eunuch led people to drive away the crowd, walked up to Brother Shao's horse and said something, the street was too noisy and it was impossible to hear it. Then I saw Brother Shao riding his horse to speed up, moving forward from the side of the brigade.

He caught up with the queen's guard of honor...

Guo Shao approached the driver and jumped off the horse. A thin, grey-haired eunuch changed Fuchen's hand and made a gesture of please. Guo Shao led the horse and walked to the side of the car. There was a colorful curtain on the side. The air-permeable woven gaps made the roller blind seem translucent, and the head of the person inside could be vaguely seen, but it was not clear.

"My minister is summoned to meet the queen." Guo Shao kept up with the driver as he walked, because the team didn't stop.

Fu's voice said softly: "I heard that you distributed all the money rewarded by the government to your subordinates?"

Guo Shao thought to himself that the queen's eyes and ears are quite sharp, but the money seems to be nothing, and it's not like giving away the robes and silver belts bestowed by the emperor. He replied truthfully: "Reply to the Queen's words, yes."

Fu said: "I also heard that you live in Longjinfang, but it is not suitable for your status. Fu's family has a courtyard near the Daxiangguo Temple, which is vacant and unoccupied. You should settle there first, and don't go back to the market where fish and dragons are mixed together."

A corner of the curtain was slightly opened, and another woman in the car got up dimly, and after a while, she stretched out a tender hand, gently holding a copper key with her fingertips.

Guo Shao was a little far away from the car, and when he saw someone handing something out, he wanted to get closer and go up to pick it up...Unexpectedly, just as he was about to go that way, the eunuch next to him hurriedly stopped him and said, "Hey! You still want to go get it yourself in public?" Guo Shao suddenly realized, and nervously pulled away and turned around.

"Puchi!" The inside burst out laughing, held back the laughter, and said in a calm voice again, "Cao Tai, don't blame him, he still doesn't understand the rules, it's understandable."

Guo Shao hurriedly said: "Please come down to the queen."

Inside said: "That's all."

Guo Shao was moved again: "The queen's reward is meticulous, and the humble minister will never forget it."

Inside said: "Yes."

When the old eunuch named Cao Tai heard this, he quietly waved to Guo Shao, and Guo Shao hurriedly said, "Retire." Soon an eunuch followed, probably to take Guo Shao to the courtyard.

Fu Shi who was driving in the car was inexplicably nervous, but his face was very calm, except for a slight flush on his cheeks, he couldn't see any integrity. She reflected on the situation just now, although she deliberately asked the maid to deliver the key on the spot and was a little nervous about handling the matter, but nothing seemed wrong... The only omission was that she actually laughed, such a low-level mistake should not have been made!

After thinking about it, Cao Tai is very knowledgeable about current affairs, besides, people around him dare to slander officials with trivial matters? So she gradually calmed down.

Fu Shi recalled what Brother Shao said in Hezhong Mansion: Let me serve my wife for the last time. She is not stupid, what kind of heart does this brother have, how can she not understand?

Why did he follow from Yanzhou to Hezhong, and then remarried to Chai Rong himself, and whoever he didn't vote for went to Guo Wei's subordinates? He thought that if he didn't say it, others wouldn't be able to guess?

snort! I'm afraid that when brother Shao often dreams at night or thinks wildly, it's simply shameful, disrespectful and nasty things!

Thinking of this, Fu Shi suddenly came to his senses, why did he think of going to that kind of place, and suddenly felt very ashamed... Fortunately, as long as you don't say what a person thinks, no one will ever know; so thoughts are the most free.

So Fu Shi gradually felt safe again, and thought: I didn't think about these things before. Maybe just like hearing those slaves say foul language occasionally, the older a woman is, the less ashamed she is?

Fu Shi is already twenty-six years old this year. She has been married twice and has never tasted love between a man and a woman. She is indeed a little curious sometimes. When she first married Li Shouzhen's son, she was very high-minded because of her background and appearance, but when she saw Li Chongxun's submissive appearance in front of his father and his young age, she felt contemptuous, and out of resistance, she temporarily forbade Li Chongxun to touch her. Li Chongxun was timid, but he was bullied by Fu Shi, so he didn't dare to force him. This missed the first opportunity to be a woman, because soon Li Shouzhen's family was wiped out.

Because of this, she was unwilling to accompany Li Shouzhen to die. Later, her father wanted to force her to become a monk, but she refused to do so. She felt that she had a good background and good looks, and she had never even been a woman when she married once, so what crime did she have?

Fortunately, Guo Wei took the initiative to marry her adopted daughter to Chai Rong, so her father, Fu Yanqing, stopped forcing her to become a monk... At that time, Guo Wei's strength was determined, and his father couldn't help but look forward to this marriage, regardless of whether he was guilty or not!

Married to Chai Rong's family again, Fu Shi was also slightly disappointed, because Chai Rong's appearance was slightly inferior, but Fu Shi also accepted it. After all, it was a marriage, and she had married once herself, so she should be content with such a good marriage. Moreover, Chai Rong's reputation is very good, he is generous, knowledgeable...these are more important than a skin.

This time Fu Shi was ready and accepted. But it turns out that Chai Rong doesn't like female sex, and he hasn't been lucky since he got married.

Sometimes the officials let her sit in bed, but fell asleep without touching her. Is he ill? But Fu knew that Chai Rong had already married a wife and had children. If he hadn't been killed by Emperor Yin of the Han Dynasty, his son Chai Yi would have been in his teens;

Fu Shi didn't feel like she was falling out of favor. Except for being unlucky, the officials were almost obedient in everything else; even when she intervened in military affairs and often pleaded for innocent soldiers, the officials could follow her advice. Such a situation, like falling out of favor? If she really fell out of favor, she wouldn't have been named queen not long ago.

There may also be a reason, the official just thinks that he is magnanimous and knowledgeable, but it is not a relationship between a man and a woman. He doesn't like himself like this? Therefore, Fu Shi took advantage of this official's expedition and came back, and went out of the city for dozens of miles to greet him; after the victory, the atmosphere was very good, the official family's mood was good, and Fu Shi also made him happy... Hmph, after several months of expedition, I didn't even see a single woman in the army. I think you are still picking and choosing!

But still nothing happened last night.

Fu's family has lost track of the pulse of the official family, and suspects that he has encountered some misfortune, and there is something unspeakable. Of course she didn't dare to ask, nor did she dare to ask anyone in the palace. If this matter makes the officials feel humiliated, it will be very serious when they become angry from embarrassment!

Fu thought about it, it's just a little thing, and it's not a big deal to bear it once in a while. She is very smart and sees everything clearly: she is indeed born noble, but she has not reached the point where she can do whatever she wants. In front of the royal family, the Fu family is still vulnerable; unless it is a princess in the Tang Dynasty, who is favored by her natal relatives, no one can be bigger than the emperor, and those princesses can do whatever they want.

If for the sake of a little bit of selfish desire, he ruined himself as a small child, then the big Fu family and so many people would be implicated, the loss outweighs the gain!

What's more, Fu Shi thinks that she is a queen, the most respected woman in the world; she feels that she is so pure and pure, if she wants to imitate the princess of the Tang Dynasty, it is really hard to condescend, and she can't bear the disgusting feeling in it.
