Guo Shao's expression changed, and he couldn't look away from Madam Chen for a while. It's no wonder that he sees beautiful women with weak legs. In fact, Guo Shao feels that his control is okay, and he doesn't lack women, so he doesn't need to be too greedy for beautiful women; but he only blames too many beautiful women in this world. Are heroes and beautiful women only in troubled times?
No wonder people are so pretentious, Guo Shao, a senior general of the Forbidden Army, is rarely seen. Otherwise, if she often shows up with this face, she doesn't know how much right and wrong she will cause.
It’s no wonder that the head of the Shen family insisted on marrying this one despite the pros and cons of the marriage. Guo Shao guessed that if the dead Patriarch of the Shen family was a person interested in beauty, let alone a marriage, he would be willing to exchange more than half of his wealth. Sometimes people consider pros and cons and make wise choices simply because the temptation is not enough.
Of course, Guo Shao thinks that Mrs. Chen's appearance is worse than Ermei Fu; not to mention that Ermei Fu is not only pretty to him.
However, Chen Jiali and Fu Ermei are not the same kind of people at all, and the comparison is meaningless.
An extremely beautiful face in the veil, with a smile, looks so beautiful at first glance, the white jade-like left cheek with a light smile is a dimple; but the eyes in the eyes are full of thought... Experienced, but not vicissitudes of life, very energetic, as if at any time interested in everything in the world. The look in his eyes is not at all the exhaustion of a person who has experienced training, nor is it the tiredness of the wind and dust; but it is the curiosity and clarity of a new life.
She has experience, insight, and vision, otherwise she would not be willing to lose a large amount of profit, and would like to make friends with Guo Shao; even if the big merchants make money every day, they won't get some money. But her experience did not make her show the vicissitudes of life (the bureaucrats Guo Shao met in the officialdom would have vicissitudes of life, such as Li Gu, who was only in her early thirties)... Mrs. Chen was not like that, instead she remained clear and optimistic.
Two completely contradictory things showed up on a woman's face at the same time, and they were very strong, which really made Guo Shao very strange.
If you are touched by the eyes of Empress Fu or the second sister, you will be moved by the warm touch of the spring breeze; then when Mrs. Chen sees it, you will feel full of energy, emotions will be lifted, and everything will be colorful. Rich and interesting.
"As my concubine said, you should make tea with spring water by yourself and entertain General Guo to make up for the faux pas." Madam Chen stepped forward and knelt down beside a few cases. The wooden plates, clay pots, and small cups were placed one by one.
At this time, Guo Shao noticed that although her voice was crisp and gentle, there was a strong air hidden behind her, so her words were round. With a needle in Mianli, Guo Shao thought of the word.
She and Yang, who is soft and weak as water, are fundamentally different in temperament.
Guo Shaoxing said vigorously: "I am fortunate to drink the tea made by Mrs. Chen, and I must taste it well."
He forgot about the fight and the pressure for a while, and he was very interested. He seemed to have a vigor in his heart. He instinctively had an urge to express himself in front of her...It was like some people pretending to be, in fact, to this world, This life is full of interest, so you can do the useless. With that mood, you will have the sentiment, demeanor, and elegance. If people feel that the world is bleak and dull, life is not fun, what do they care about those things?
Guo Shao sighed secretly: Pretending is also a kind of love for life and an enthusiastic state of mind.
"Boom boom boom..." The clear, light green tea flows from the spout into a wonderful arc, falling accurately into the cup from a height. The white jade-like fingers and the delicate nails painted, the movements are smooth and elegant, just like dancing.
A thin white smoke rises from the water surface of the teacup, filling this cold-keyed hall with vivid vitality out of thin air, like mist like smoke.
In the light tea fragrance, Guo Shao feels that tea itself is not important. With such a posture, all moods are spontaneously alive. That's how it feels!
He couldn't help smiling and said: "The color here is dim, there is no bright color, and even the furnishings are the natural color of wood. It was originally a boring place... But with Mrs. Chen, all this immediately has a soul, as if There is a unique elegance and poetry."
Mrs. Chen pursed her lips and chuckled, dimples on her left cheek. She held up the tea cup with her **** and thumb, and gently supported the bottom of the cup with the fingers of the other hand. She brought it up with both hands, saying: "I only say that General Guo is a generous and upright brave man, but you are also glib and glib." /
Guo Shao gently shook his head and praised: "I'm not complimenting. Madam is really a wonderful person who can turn decay into magic. Madam is independent, soft and strong, not only can make life admire, but also admire... …" Guo Shao was careful to pick up the teacup. He didn't want to take the opportunity to touch other people's fingers and be too frivolous.
The two were fighting fiercely without anyone else. Unexpectedly, Guo Shao hadn’t touched the cup. Suddenly Jingniang beside him bent down and gently pressed his wrist, and said blankly: "This first cup, let me first Drink."
The happy atmosphere just now freezes in midair. Mrs. Chen's smile disappeared little by little, and said coldly: "This lady, do you suspect that I will do anything in the tea?"
Jingniang replied: "Are we familiar with you, why can't I doubt it?"
"Jingniang is also kind, she has no other intentions, and I ask Mrs. Chen not to blame her." Guo Shao said hurriedly.
He didn't think there was any danger. He could still see good people and bad people. If there is no trust in Chen Jiali, then why is he here today... If he shrinks because he is about to be assassinated, it will affect the expansion of his network. That would stop eating because of choking.
But he is not an old social fritters after all, and the round is not well rounded. This is obviously just to excuse Jingniang, but does not dispel the "suspicion".
Sure enough, Madam Chen was unhappy, took the tea cup back in her hand, and took a sip of herself like a puff. The temperature of the water in the teapot should be set to the right temperature, plus the slender water line when pouring the tea from a high place, it is cold again, not hot. Mrs. Chen took a sip and then drank the whole cup of tea.
Guo Shao sat there awkwardly for a while, not knowing what to say. There is nothing wrong with Jingniang. She is also concerned about her own safety and uses herself to test her. If she can’t see the beautiful woman, she reprimands Jingniang to calm her down; but Madam Chen is also kind, and she offends her inexplicably. Isn’t the preparation for mutual understanding and contact, and the mutual trust gradually built up in vain?
Ms. Chen finished drinking a cup of tea, took a glance at Guo Shao, then refilled it calmly, and then handed it over. The faint voice again implied provocation: "General Guo, do you dare to drink now?"
The word "dare" is really powerful! Guo Shao took the cup, and suddenly saw a light red lip mark on the edge. This cup was drunk by Madam Chen just now! I just didn't pay attention to what I said earlier. Guo Shao was stunned...but she didn't know if she was accidental or intentional.
If it is unintentional, it must be anxious and negligent. If it is intentional, is it to deliberately indicate that the cup has not been changed and there is no poison on the cup? Or something else?
Guo Shao was hard to guess. He couldn't say anything when he saw this very pale lip print. The tea cup was already in his hand, so he had to drink like this. At this moment, I saw Madam Chen's cheeks reddened, she opened her mouth for a while, and her embarrassment and shame suddenly came alive. The embarrassment was resolved naturally and replaced by a new embarrassment. .
There was a short period of coldness. Jingniang stood still, but Yang just smiled and didn't interrupt at all. And the grandmother Sun, who should be just a subordinate serving Madam Chen, let alone the master's affairs.
In this cold field, Guo Shao was able to taste this tea carefully... To be honest, he didn’t taste the tea. It seemed to drink more smoothly and smell better than ordinary tea, but it was limited to this. He was really bad at this, and didn't understand the difference. However, he drank the tea with a faint floral rouge smell...the rouge on the lips. The light tea smell is mixed with rouge, that elegant feeling has been completely destroyed, the two compartments are mixed, there is an indescribable feeling.
Guo Shao finally broke the silence and said: "This tea is good and has a floral fragrance."
Ms. Chen's face turned red after hearing this.
A teacup that others have drunk, but a beautiful woman has drunk it. Guo Shao said that he was not disgusted at all, and his heartstrings became sensitive, just like the bowstrings between moments and moments.
...But Guo Shao doesn't want to bother about the strange thoughts between the women.
He finally remembered what he was here for today and what was most important to him. After pondering for a moment, he said: "It's true that I took the liberty to visit Mrs. Chen today. I have something to discuss, but I don't know..." After he said, he glanced sideways at Aunt Sun.
Mrs. Chen also received the tea cups and said softly: "Aunt Sun has been with her concubine for more than 20 years."
Guo Shao listened, thinking that Jiali Chen is in her early twenties at most. This auntie Sun is probably someone who has served her since she was born.
Guo Shao thought for a long time, but did not speak for a long time. When Chen Jiali saw this, she said: "The concubine knows that General Guo is a military commander, so she won't care. You don't need to pay too much attention to the etiquette. If you have anything, just tell your concubine."
"That's good." Guo Shao nodded, "It is true that there is a military plane that is not classified as a secret. Everyone in the court knows that it is not kept secret; but the people may not know it. The court has made a decision to expedite the North. Liao State."
Mrs. Chen listened attentively after listening, looking very concerned. If it weren't for knowing her details in advance and seeing that she is so interested in military affairs, Guo Shao might still suspect that she is a spy in the Liao Dynasty.
Guo Shao said: "I am a general of the Department of Guards, and I will lead a part of the important elite forces of the Zhou army. I dare not play with it. The art of war, knowing myself and knowing the enemy is not dead. I want to learn more about Youzhou and other places before the war breaks out. Geography, climate, and some detailed information about Liao’s military policy, deployment, and force composition. However, because there is no way out for a while, it is dangerous to send scouts into enemy territory, and it is not easy to go deep. Ask ordinary merchants, you may only know some fur .
So I have an idea. When Mrs.'s firm went to Youzhou to buy and sell, some of my people would be placed in the merchant's gang, and they would go to Liao to collect information under the same identity. Of course, in order to cooperate for mutual benefit, I also thought of what I could do to give you something in return..."
