Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

Chapter 63 Can't Stop Suffering

(I went to the hospital yesterday, and I just came back this morning. It has been off for a day, and I will update three chapters today, please forgive me.)

After a night, the morning sun is very bright, and the warm light shines on the leaves of the plants in the yard, as if one can feel the dewdrops on the leaves evaporate little by little.

The young lady of the Li family was lying sideways on a bamboo couch, her face was flushed, and she looked listless. Her bones were already petite, so lying down like this made her limp, as if she had no strength at all.

A middle-aged woman was her nanny. Seeing this scene, she came forward worriedly, and touched the little lady's forehead with the back of her hand: "Madam, are you sick?"

Li Shi said faintly: "It seems to be sick."

The nanny hurriedly said: "Do you want to see the doctor? Why are you uncomfortable?"

Li lifted her arm softly, and pressed her soft chest into a nest with her fingers: "Here. I feel flustered, I can't calm down for anything, and I simply don't want to move. It's been plopping all morning, a little numb...and a little painful. It's so uncomfortable. Why is it like this? It's never happened before."

The nanny's face changed slightly: "I'll go to the doctor immediately! Ask the doctor to heal you."

"Don't go, I won't see you even if you call me." Li Shi said.

The nanny said seriously: "If you are sick, you have to see the doctor, but you can't stay next to him!"

Li Shi said: "Although it is very painful, I don't want to be cured... I want to continue."

Yesterday, the servant girl happened to walk to the door and heard the last two sentences, so she smiled and said: "The lady has a heart disease, let the nanny leave her alone, you don't understand!"

The nanny suddenly became unhappy and said: "San'er, do you understand? I eat more salt than you eat, and I have crossed more bridges than you have walked! You are still pretending to be in front of my mother..." That maid is the third servant to enter the Li family, and the people in the house call her San'er. According to seniority, the nanny is obviously much older than San'er, so San'er is very unconvinced if he contradicts the nanny a little.

After hearing this, Mrs. Li said unhappy: "Oh, don't argue in front of me! The horses are scared away by you!"

"Horse?" The nanny turned around and looked around. How could there be any horses in the inner courtyard? She immediately said in a hurry: "I'm confused, what's wrong with this! I have to report to Madam immediately."

The nurse went out without any explanation, and San'er walked to the bamboo couch, but he was not nervous, instead he asked with a smile: "Miss, you saw the horse, where is the horse?"

Li's eyes were blank, and he said quietly: "There is a man riding, running fast, like an arrow that leaves the string, I dare not go up, it is too scary, what if I fall... um, no."

San'er coaxed her and asked, "What's wrong?"

Li Shi said: "That person should not be so unruly, he is not an unruly person. When he was sitting yesterday, his body should be very upright, with a bit of restraint, and his speech should be humble and restrained... He must move like a rabbit, but he is very disciplined, I can't think of it..."

She murmured again: "The demeanor seems to be very open-minded, but when he recites|poetry, he seems to be standing against the wind, with a trace of worry and sympathy in his eyes. His worry can be seen and touched, how can he be like me? I can't figure it out, I don't know why..."

Mrs. Li slowly wanted to get up: "San'er, sharpen the ink for me, I want to write something." She put on her shoes and stood up, at this time the maid had already gone to fill the inkstone with water, but Mrs. Li hesitated and said, "I can't do this, he is not me, if I am a woman, if I deliver a letter abruptly, wouldn't it make people think I am frivolous?"

San'er shook his head and said, "Then do I want to grind ink, or not?"

After waiting for a while without hearing a response, San'er said again: "I heard from Alang and his wife that Guo Dushi is only visiting friends in Binzhou, and they will leave after a short stay. Maybe they won't stay for a few days. If my wife just thinks here and waits for someone to leave, I don't know when he will come to Binzhou again. Where can I find someone then?"

After hearing this, Mrs. Li was stunned, paced back and forth a few times in the room, then sat in front of the dressing table and combed her hair, and looked around in front of the bronze mirror. In the mirror, she had weak bones and strong muscles, with a sense of beauty in her roundness. She thought to herself: There were so many guests yesterday, out of etiquette, my young lady who was not out of the cabinet didn't have a chance to let him take a look. If he could see it, maybe she wouldn't be here by herself, thinking about it like she is now.

Mrs. Li put away her soft demeanor, and said, "There is a pavilion by the river in Guangdefang, go find Guo Dushi and ask him to meet in the pavilion."

"Ah?" San'er was surprised at once, and then hesitated, "The lady is going out for a tryst? A Lang knows, and he will blame me for instigating the lady."

"How do you put it so harshly? In broad daylight, what kind of tryst is it? It's just a meeting." Li Shi said, "The envoy Guo lives in a posthouse outside the city. You go to ask him out, and the time is set to be around Si time."

San'er wronged and said: "If Alang and his wife blame him, the lady will help me speak well."

"Understood, go!"

The servant girl had no choice but to tidy up and slipped out of the house through the small gate of the mansion, heading straight for the gate of the city. Unexpectedly, she walked in a panic with something on her mind, and ran into Mr. Zhe and others on the road, and was recognized.

At this time, it was the end of August, and it was going to be September soon. Although the weather was sunny and sunny, it was long past the heat. Mr. Zhe satin held a paper fan in his hand, the autumn wind painting fan, which was obviously useless. However, he held the fan in his hand and played with it, and he flung it away from time to time while talking and laughing, Mr. Zhe thought that his movements were very free and easy.

"Isn't that the maidservant of Li Chuyun's mansion?" Zhe Deliang recognized it at a glance, this maid served tea and water in the hall of Li's mansion just yesterday, walked back and forth many times, Zhe Deliang saw familiar eyes, and recognized it all at once.

There are four people around him, two friends and two servants. The other two young scribes heard the voice and recognized it after a careful look, and they all agreed. One of them said: "Hustle and panic, what's the matter with her?"

This place is not far from the south gate of Binzhou City, and the direction of the servant girl's journey is also just south. Master Zhe just lost his limelight in front of Guo Dushi yesterday, how could he forget it after only one night? Zhe Deliang's face suddenly sank. The friend next to him observed his words and said softly: "You won't go out to find that general surnamed Guo, will you?"

Another added fuel to the flames: "If the maidservant is going to meet the surname Guo, it must be sent by the lady of the Li family in private. If Li Chuyun wants to send someone, he doesn't send a servant or tooth soldier. What is the woman he is looking for?"

Zhe Deliang's face was covered with a dark cloud: "Everyone has been busy, did you dare to make wedding dresses for others yesterday?"

A young boy at the back said: "Follow me, let's see if the maid is going to the post house." With Zhe Deliang's nod of approval, the young boy quickly walked across the street.

Zhe Deliang put away the paper fan, tapped it three times on the palm of his left hand, and looked back: "Let's go to the other end and wait."

...

Guo Shao and the others really didn't plan to stay longer. He met Luo Yanhuan early in the morning and learned that Li Chuyun politely refused to join him.

On this trip to Guanzhong, it was just a way to find out the talents recommended by Luo Yanhuan. There was a more important thing, which was to find out the general terrain of Qin, Feng and other states. Guo Shao had already started arranging manpower early in the morning, preparing for this time.

Jing Niang brought two attendants, a woman in her thirties and a thick black woman. The woman in her thirties was more reasonable, and she was also a leader in Yuzhen Temple in Tokyo. Guo Shao asked Jing Niang to tell them that the two women should go first with their money and go to the nunnery in Fengzhou as a monk.

Luo Yanhuan has a clan in Qinzhou who migrated from Hedong many years ago. Now that Li Chuyun's business can't be done, Guo Shao asked him to put aside the matter of courting Li Chuyun first, and asked him and his two soldiers, Qiao Zhuang, master and servant, to visit relatives in Qinzhou.

A group of people discussed, and only waited for the errands of the two groups to have some clues, and everyone met in Fengxiang Town. Beforehand, Guo Shao asked Wang Pu for a favor, and asked Wang Pu to send a letter to Fengxiang Jiedu envoy Wang Jing in person, so that Fengxiang's Wang Jing could help Guo Shao's affairs nearby;

Once Wang Jing receives the prime minister's private entrustment, send some people to assist, and infiltrate through the path opened in the early stage, and then he can get a lot of useful information... These things can be shared with Wang Jing through the helper, but Guo Shao is the host, and he is bound to get the most information.

As soon as everyone made an agreement, someone asked to see him, claiming to be from Li Chuyun's residence. Guo Shao hurriedly asked someone to bring him in for a meeting.

It turned out to be a little girl, Guo Shaochu was a little puzzled at the beginning, but soon felt that the little girl looked familiar, remembering that she was the maid who often went in and out of the hall yesterday, he could almost believe that she was indeed from Li Chuyun's residence.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Zuo You and the rest of the group wanted to avoid them calmly or with a smile on their faces. Only Jing Niang pretended not to understand and sat still. Jingniang is a woman, and she is not in the same way as Zuo You, Yang Luo and others, and it is not easy for everyone to remind her.

The servant girl was timid at first, but when Guo Shao greeted him with good words, she spoke in a series of eloquent words: "My wife wants to see Guo Dushi, and she will wait for you by the Guangdefang River. If Guo Dushi is not familiar with the roads in Binzhou, I will take you there; if the appointment is at Sishi, if Guo Dushi refuses, the lady will have to wait there... If the time is too long, Alang will notice, and there will be more alarmed people. "

Guo Shao heard her speak so neatly, so he looked back at Jing Niang: "Hearing what she said, I must go."

Jing Niang said coldly: "No one is stopping you, you can do whatever you want, what do you want me to do?"

Guo Shao hesitated a little. Although Li Chuyun was not considered a wealthy family, he was still a dignified figure after all, and his daughter was not as good as a girl from an ordinary family. If this entanglement continues, will something happen... It's nothing to think about it, does the girl still post back?
