Chen Jiali was silent for a while, with a slight embarrassment on Xiuli's face, she said: "Although I was born in Southern Tang, the Chen family has lived in Yangzhou for generations. Now Huainan belongs to the Zhou Dynasty. We are from the Zhou Dynasty... …It’s not a betrayal of the Southern Tang Dynasty now? What's more, no matter which country it is, it was originally the same family and the same ancestor, but it was only after the Tang Dynasty that the mountains and rivers were divided. The Chen family is only a merchant, not the clan and officials of the Southern Tang state, and it cannot be said to be loyal to the Southern Tang royal family... …"

Guo Shao nodded solemnly after hearing this, and said with a seriousness: "Mrs. Chen is reasonable and understands the righteousness."

Chen Jiali breathed a sigh of relief, thinking it was okay not to explain just now. With so much defense, he seemed to be a person who cares too much about vanity, and a bit hypocritical.

However, looking at Guo Shaoshen's approval, Chen Jiali is very relaxed with him. She paid attention to Guo Shao's expression, and said softly: "General Guo didn't think I was hypocritical?"

She asked this because she occasionally heard bad things about her behind her back, and the people of the Shen family said it even more awkwardly behind her back. She was very sad when she was a **** and set up an archway.

Guo Shao has a nice magnetism when his voice is low: "It's a bit hypocritical."

Chen Jiali was slightly startled. Although more than one person said bad things about her, it was still a bit uncomfortable for Guo Shao to be said to her face to face.

At this time, Guo Shao thoughtfully said: "But there is nothing wrong with being hypocritical. People who are too rational, too rigid and practical, feel very boring and boring to get along with, as if they are just waiting for death for decades and have no fun; Too much attention to the surface, too much, and playful, outrageous, people feel unreliable. Madam Chen gave me the feeling just right, adding one point is too much, minus one point is the shortcomings and style, after having the basic sincerity of life , Full of playfulness about life... the love of life is aroused by you, as if the surrounding plants and trees make every move of people interesting, full of sentiment and poetry."

Chen Jiali was overjoyed when she heard her, and her voice became softer and softer: "What style, even a person like General Guo is not serious...Is it as good as you said?"

Guo Shaoxiu pointed to the furnishings in the hall, then glanced at Chen Jiali's clothes, and said: "I'm just telling the truth, because you are a very good person. I just noticed that Mrs. Chen is good. Here The objects and people all show the master’s meticulous and interesting intentions."

Chen Jiali's cheeks are hot and she is in a very good mood. She looked at Guo Shao boldly and found him very pleasing to her eyes. The back of his hand is particularly heartwarming. The large palms and fingers are long but not thin, and the tendons on the back of his hand are rising, giving a strong and powerful feeling. The thick and long image made Chen Jiali feel itchy in her imagination.

"The Confucian scholars make people think that the whole person is soft, and I also think that General Guo is so masculine and mighty." Chen Jiali said in a very low voice, "General Guo is sometimes bad, always Implying _ seduce a woman, but not a bad person. As you said, just right."

At this moment, a figure appeared at the door, and Chen Jiali's face was flushed flushing, she took the gentle smile and sat indifferently.

Auntie Sun came over silently, handed a red post, and said: "According to Madam, take it here."

Chen Jiali picked up the gift form, waved her sleeve gently, and handed it to Guo Shao.

Guo Shao also looked at it solemnly: "The amount is not higher than the previous offer?"

Chen Jiali said: "Slightly inferior, but not much worse. Didn't General Guo prepare it for the Li family? The concubine thinks that the courtesy should be thicker."

She looked at Guo Shao with interest. Sometimes he still looked a little dull and didn't give the impression of frivolousness at all, but she couldn't tell why he always felt that his dull and serious appearance was still very popular. . Also, his bronzed skin is a bit rough, but it is always clean and tidy. It doesn't look like a dude at all, but it's inexplicably close.

Chen Jiali said softly again: "Li Chuyun is now a high-ranking person in the Forbidden Army. General Guo accepts his daughter as a concubine, will he be in trouble?"

Guo Shao smiled and said: "I will have trouble if I don't accept it...but you have a point. People will gossip about this matter, right?"

"Of course it will." Chen Jiali smiled and looked at his face, "but I usually don't say it to the public. After all, Lady Li is their daughter. Others will speak bad things behind their backs."

Guo Shao pondered: "Ms. Chen thought, what would the world say?"

Chen Jiali said: "It will be said that Li Chuyun, for the sake of high-ranking officials and generous salaries, tried all means to indulge in the rich and powerful, and even sent his daughter. Maybe the meeting said that he was in high position by nepotism."

Guo Shao said: "Our own brothers know the ins and outs of this matter, the insiders would not say that... But Mrs. Chen made a point of reminding." He received the gift form and immediately got up and said: "Thank you Chen for this matter. Madam, it’s inconvenient to talk too much, so I’m going to say goodbye."

Chen Jiali also stood up, feeling a little bit unwilling in her heart. She usually doesn't lack food or clothing. She also has her own affairs to worry about. She is not too busy, but she always feels shortcomings. But she was not good at keeping Guo Shao, and finally couldn't help but say in a casual tone: "If General Guo has free time, he can sit in the humble house. The new song I compiled wants people to appreciate."

"It's a great honor." Guo Shao's eyes are bright and sincere. He thought for a while and said, "Mrs. Chen should have a lot of shops and markets in Shu and Nantang. I would like to send someone to help you."

Chen Jiali agreed easily.

……

Guo Shao hasn't been busy for a while. The central government of the imperial court agreed on major issues, and the Privy Council revised the letter twice and decided on the deployment plan for the attack on Shu. In a short period of time, it was a bit weak and insufficient to fully deploy troops to Shu. The Zhou Dynasty decided to take Hanzhong first.

The prime minister, Wang Pu, continued to recommend Xiang Gong (Xiang Xun) to attack Shu. Three years ago, Xiang Gong performed well in taking the land of Qin Feng. The Queen Mother, the Second Envoy of the Privy Council, and Guo Shao all agreed with the candidates recommended by Wang Pu and agreed to use Xianggong as the Shannan West Road to recruit envoys and the deployment of the former camp to control the town's Heyang Sancheng soldiers, northwest Wang Jing and his eldest son Wang Tingyi. Tens of thousands of soldiers from the northwestern Zhejia town, from the land of Qin and Feng, went south to attack Hanzhong. He also used Prime Minister Li Gu as the former battalion supervising army and sentenced Xingyuan government officials (Hanzhong).

However, the signs of the use of force are still not obvious, and the news is still limited to a few ministers in the center. Waiting for another half month, when the large-scale deployment of troops in the northwest and other places cannot conceal it, the court will publicly criticize Shu and find some famous excuses for being a teacher... Even then, maybe Shu might not take it seriously, because the Zhou Dynasty threatened by force. Shu, at every turn, said that he wanted to beat them not once or twice; it is possible that Shu would still think it was a threat in the early stage.

The court officials agreed to do this in order to reduce the preparation time of the Shu army.

Guo Shao went home and pulled out a map drawn when he attacked Shu, including detailed routes and topography of Qingniling and other places; he wrote a letter to Xiang Gong, telling him Qingniling There is a small road next to it called Baishui Road, which can be bypassed behind Qingniling.

Guo Shao walked once in the past. The Shu army suffered a loss and might be prepared for that path. But did the Shu general who was stationed in three years later know about it? In short, there is no harm in telling Xiang Gong that Guo Shao can only help him in this way.

The target of this battle is only Hanzhong. Zhou Jun had Qin Fengcheng to march into the base camp, not far from Hanzhong; plus the Shu army may not be well prepared. Guo Shao thought that Xiang Gong was still very capable of military affairs and should be able to accomplish this.

He walked to the front yard and heard the deputy general Lu Chengyong, ordering him to send two people to Heyang to deliver the letter.

At this moment, Zuo You also walked in. He was wearing a red round-neck official uniform. He didn't need to enter the gate of Guo's mansion to communicate with him, just like entering his own home. Guo Shao looked at his dress, still a little uncomfortable, and then remembered that he had just made up a good position: Taichang Temple Shaoqing. Now he is the Fourth Grade Commander who is eating the royal food. I asked before that the official position of Zuo You was mainly responsible for the sacrificial rites of the imperial court... something that happened only during the New Years and holidays, it was a good position with identity and leisure.

"Meet the lord." Zuo You, wearing black gauze, stretched out his sleeves under the steps and made thoughts.

Guo Shao only said: "Come in and talk."

The two entered the hall back and forth, and Guo Shao looked at Zuo You with a smile on his face. Zuo You was surprised, stretched out his hand to hold his black hat, glanced at Guo Shao, and looked down at himself.

"How does it feel to be an official?" Guo Shao casually smiled.

Zuo You said in a serious manner: "Hmph, put on this robe, the neighbors looked at each other with admiration, quite a feeling of returning home. Relatives and friends are also very flattering, the world is simply intolerable."

Guo Shao laughed loudly, and Zuo You sighed indifferently.

After laughing, Guo Shao took out a gift form from his arms and handed it over: "You help me as a matchmaker and give a gift to Li Chuyun's house."

Zuo You took a look and said, "This is easy. The lord takes a concubine. You can't be too polite, put things on the table, send things over, and pick a good day to get Lady Li back. Up."

After Guo Shao listened, the smile on his face gradually disappeared, and he pondered for a moment and said: "If you do this, you first go to see Li Chuyun, and don't mention the next gift for the time being. Ask him carefully if he prefers. Then do the work."

Zuo You nodded thoughtfully, and said, "Don't worry, I know what to do."

The two chatted for a while, and Zuo You casually mentioned: "Xu Zhou's Zhou Duan...seems to send people to Tokyo often. He often contacts the lord?"

Guo Shao said: "No, it's been a long time since I saw his words."

"No wonder..." Zuo You frowned, "I heard that Zhou Duan has a close relationship with the sixth son of the Southern Tang State (Li Yu). It seems that this happened."

Guo Shao glanced at Zuo You calmly: "That Zhou Duan was originally a member of the Zhou family. It's normal to interact with Emperor Zhou'e of the Zhou family, so don't worry about it. I can never ask Zhou Duan to vote for me. , Let his six relatives deny it. Let’s treat our subordinates not too tightly to make people feel insecure."

"The Lord's words are reasonable." Zuo You worshipped.
