After living in Chang'an City for so many years, Mrs. Guo Guo has never seen how the daughters of ordinary people celebrate the Chinese Valentine's Day. She was in a rare good mood today, so she simply ordered the coachman Lao Zhou to stop the carriage by the side of the road, took the maid's arm and chanted incense, and gave Shiran Joined the crowd on the roadside.
Both her master and servant were dressed as Confucian scholars, with slim figures, long waists, pink faces and red lips, which fit the most popular standards of handsome men in Chang'an City. Soon, they attracted the burning eyes of countless girls.
Chinese Valentine's Day is originally a day for young men and women to get to know each other, and Hu Feng is very popular in Chang'an City. Seeing two young men also asking for a fortune from the City God, many girls with tall noses and deep eyes did not care about being shy, and chatted with them for a few words. She took the initiative to send the sachets over. At first, Mrs. Guo Guo accepted two of them as a joke, and made up her family background and address to make the girls happy. Later, she actually received more and more sachets, and there was a vague feeling. He couldn't bear the trend in his arms. He quickly pulled Xiangyin, who was already falling down from laughing, jumped into the carriage and fled.
After such a delay, it was already two o'clock when the two returned to Qujiangfang. There were few residents near Qujiang Pool, and everything was quiet. Compared with the bustle in front of the City God's Temple just now, they were two completely different worlds. The former was noisy. In the human world, the latter seems so lonely. Looking at the gloomy home in the distance, Mrs. Guo Guo couldn't help but sigh lowly again, "Alas——!"
"Madam, why are you sighing? You think the sachet is not filled enough?" Knowing clearly what Madam Guo Guo was thinking at this moment, the little maid Xiang Yin still smiled and joked.
"Go! If you are interested, take all these sachets away!" Giving the other party a soft look, Mrs. Guo Guo took out all the sachets she had just received and threw them into the other party's arms. "Look at which girl If you are good at needlework, I will find someone to be a matchmaker for you. I will treat you as a boy and give you to your mother-in-law, so as not to annoy me every day!"
"How dare you, my maid, upset Madam!" Xiangyin replied with a smile, stacked up her purses, and carefully selected them by the candlelight in the car, "There are indeed a few good needleworkers. It's a pity that I am not a man, otherwise, it would be really difficult for me to do so." They are not willing to let go of any of them. How about this? One day I will find out whose daughter they are and send a matchmaker to offer them as concubines to Master He..."
"Seek death! You are becoming more and more daring!" Mrs. Guo Guo pursed her lips, punched the opponent a few times with a smile, and the depression in her heart was swept away.
The young master they mentioned was Yang Guozhong's second son Yang Ba. He was handsome, with red lips and white teeth. He was no less handsome than Cui Zongzhi, and he was good at playing music, chess, calligraphy and painting. But this man had a fatal flaw. She is henpecked. Ever since she married Princess Wan'an, she has gone out at a certain time every day and returned home at a certain time, never daring to stay outside for a moment. Less than half a month after the marriage, the girl who had grown up with her daughter-in-law was looking for her. He got a chance to leave the house, and from then on he could no longer get close to his concubine. As for the things that men usually loved to do, such as naming concubines, raising singers, admiring flowers, and tasting tender lotuses, the consort didn't even have to think about it. Later, it got to the point where they were not even allowed to participate in social gatherings among colleagues. If there was any violation, the family would be in a state of unrest.
When His Majesty the Emperor heard about this from Concubine Yang, he also felt that his daughter was too domineering. He once sent Princess Wan'an to the palace to reprimand him, and gave two young maids in front of her to warm the prince's bed. Unexpectedly, the princess His Highness still cried bitterly in front of his father and vowed never to do it again. After returning home, His Highness sent the two maids to a farm outside the city. He announced that if the other party dared to leave the farm even half a step without his permission, they would meet each other with swords drawn. , until death.
The two helpless palace maids could not dare to fight against the princess. They had no choice but to accept themselves as unlucky and went to the farm to look after the barn for the Yang family. When the emperor heard the news, he could only laugh it off.
Xiao Xiangyin encouraged Mrs. Guo Guo to take a concubine for her nephew Yang Bao, which was clearly pushing girls into the pit of fire. Not only would the chosen girl have to shed tears for the rest of her life, I am afraid that the consort himself would also be disgraced for a long time in the future.
Of course, Mrs. Guo Guo would not really do this. Although she has been very disgusted with her clan brother Yang Guozhong recently. Ever since he defeated King Jingzhao Yin with the help of Mrs. Guo Guo, Yang Guozhong's behavior has become more and more arrogant.
In the past, he knew that his status was hard-earned, and he expressed his gratitude to his sisters for their help. Now, he often assumes the posture of an eldest brother and scolds the other three sisters except the imperial concubine.
Today, it seemed that Yang Guozhong's driver was here again. The carriage turned a corner and suddenly saw a large line of honor guards at the door of the house. The smile that Mrs. Guo Guo had just shown immediately turned cold again. "Old Zhou, drive the carriage directly to the back door.
Xiangyin, lock the middle door from the backyard to the front yard for me in a moment. When someone asks, they say I was drunk outside and couldn’t wake up no matter how I woke up!"
"I got it!" The coachman, Lao Zhou, didn't feel cold to Yang Guozhong who kept coming to visit him recently. He agreed and turned the car around.
Unexpectedly, before Xiangyin could close the door from the backyard to the living room, Yang Guozhong had already gotten the news and barged in desperately. Pushing aside anyone who dared to block him, he kicked open his sister's bedroom door.
Roaring loudly at the inside: "Where have you been? Why did you come back so late? I have been waiting for you since Shen Shi until now!"
"Brother, what's the matter? I'm changing clothes!" Unexpectedly, her brother would be so reckless. Mrs. Guo Guo immediately turned cold and asked with a frown.
"It's okay, who ran all the way to the Qujiang Pool? Do you think I like the scenery here?" Seeing his sister's breasts half exposed, Yang Guozhong immediately felt a wave of heat in his heart. He resisted the urge to look away.
He opened the door and continued to scold loudly, "Stop pretending, you think I don't know you? It's just that kind of light wine that costs three pennies a bowl and tastes like boiled water. How could I drink you unconscious?"
"Are you following me?!" What she thought was a very secret action actually fell into the eyes of the other party. Mrs. Guo Guo felt as if she had been stripped naked in public. She couldn't help feeling ashamed and angry. She couldn't help covering up her half-revealed part.
body, raised his hand, pointed at the other person's nose and shouted loudly. "How could you do this, how dare you do this!"
"I'm too lazy to put in the effort to follow you!" Yang Guozhong stretched out his hand to push away the fingers in front of him, walked to the bed, and sat down. "Jingzhao Yin Yamen, now everyone from top to bottom belongs to me. Even if
If one more fly flies into Chang'an City, the report will be delivered to me within half an hour. With the way you are dressed, the material money used to make the clothes is enough to feed a poor family for two years. But it is also
Riding in a carriage that was about to fall apart..."
"I do, it's none of your business!" Finally understanding what the problem was, Mrs. Guo Guo calmed down a little. She had never lived a truly poor life, so she couldn't pretend to be a commoner no matter how hard she tried. She was targeted by Yang Guozhong's spies.
It's normal. But what does that have to do with the other party? Do you still need to report every move you make to the other party?
"Of course it's none of my business!" Yang Guozhong raised his eyes and sneered, "At least, you are still my sister. At least, what kind of person is the brother-in-law you are going to find for me? As an elder brother, you have the right to ask, right?"
"Brother?" Mrs. Guo Guo's anger, which had just weakened, was suddenly ignited again, "I dare to ask, brother, how are you going to care about my little sister? Are you going to send someone to be a matchmaker for my little sister, or are you looking down upon you?
He will find a way to get rid of him. But I advise you not to play with his crooked ideas. Otherwise, what consequences will happen that you will regret deeply?"
"Just him?" Yang Guozhong's face was filled with disdain, "He's just a brave and ruthless commoner. What can he do to me? Just raise two fingers and I can smash him to pieces."
"Then you might as well give it a try!" Mrs. Guo Guo's face turned pale with anger, and she gritted her teeth and began to yell, "I'm worried that I can't find a creditor? From today on, if he loses a hair, I will go directly to the palace and take these things.
Tell your Majesty everything I saw in the year one by one. Let’s see who is shattered to pieces in the end!”
"How dare you!" Yang Guozhong jumped up from the bed and raised his hands to fight. Mrs. Guo Guo did not show weakness, stepped back half a step, and picked up the sword hanging on the wall. Xiang Yin, Qi Mo and other maids
Seeing this, some grabbed sticks, some grabbed sticks, and some yelled for people when they went out. For a while, it was a chaotic mess.
Hearing the noise outside the window, Yang Guozhong suddenly realized that this was the residence of Mrs. Guo Guo. He was currently stomping around half of Chang'an City, but he might not be able to get any benefits at his sister's house. He endured it and put down his palms with a smile, "
Look at my bad temper, and I always ignore it when I get angry. Okay, good sister, put down your sword and let the servants disperse. Could it be that you can really poke a transparent hole in me?"
"That's hard to say. If you really want to force me to the point of no return, I will have to fight to the death!" Mrs. Guo Guo glared at him again and slowly pushed the sword into the scabbard. No matter what, the other party is his clan brother.
.She really can't do things that make her relatives feel pain and enemies feel happy.
"Do whatever you have to do. I'm teasing my sister, what are you slaves doing?" Not wanting to make the atmosphere more tense, Yang Guozhong avoided Mrs. Guo Guo's eyes and turned his head to the maids and servants who were surrounding him.
Servant. "You, you, and you, don't you know this is the back house? Why did you grown men break in so casually!"
"They are my servants, it seems it is not your turn to take care of them!" Mrs. Guo Guo smiled and interrupted coldly. Turning around, she stuck her head towards the window, "Okay, everyone, let's go and have a rest.
Remember next time, no matter who wants to enter the back house without my permission, I will directly break their legs. Don’t be afraid, I will bear all the responsibilities! Even if the lawsuit is brought to Tai Chi Palace, we will still occupy it.
reason!"
"Sister, what are you talking about? Aren't I anxious today?" After hearing this, Yang Guozhong's face finally turned red and he said coquettishly.
"Who do you care who I drank with or slept with?" Mrs. Guo Guo closed the window, turned her back to Yang Guozhong, and wrapped her chest tightly with a shawl. She used to not care about showing her beauty in front of others.
Plump, but from today on, she hopes that only one person can see her beauty.
