The heavens from Bailuyuan

Chapter 231 Is It Really Just Playing Backgammon?
With this stubble, Guo Juren felt that Bai Gui had good moral character and was a good friend.

Otherwise, ordinary people would not think about the problem that his body can bear it.

Guo's breakfast is much more ordinary than yesterday.

After all, yesterday was the first reception, so it was a good meal.

But still quite rich.

"It is estimated that the snow will not stop for a while, and it will continue to fall for five or six days."

During the meal, the caravan steward said.

He has traveled far and wide, has seen a lot, and with experience, he can estimate how long a snow can last.

"After a snowfall, and then clear the road, you have to stay at the General's Village for at least a ten-day period."

"I don't know the food in Guo Juren's house..."

asked the caravan steward.

Food is not a small amount for a caravan that wants to feed hundreds of people.

Plan ahead.

"It's not like I'm bragging. Most of the fields below the General Slope are my ancestral property. It's close to the Weihe River and well-irrigated. There's not enough food every year, and I have to go to the provincial capital to sell it..."

Guo Juren slowly twirled the yellow and soft shredded tobacco, put it into the chimney, blew on the fire paper with a puff, pinched the hookah pipe with his lips, two puffs of thick smoke suddenly came out of his nostrils, and said, "Put your Xin, even if there is a shortage of food, I can still borrow food for you if I speak within a radius of tens of miles."

"It's snowing, it looks like it's not far from the provincial capital, but we don't dare to send horses out to report a letter..."

The caravan steward sighed.

The country is full of dirt roads, even if the horseshoes are covered with cloth, they will slip. Moreover, the terrain in Guanzhong is not as flat as the Central Plains. Some places look like flat rivers, but there are valleys and valleys when you walk over them.

With Guo Juren's promise, the caravan and his party temporarily stayed in Jiangjunzhai.

However, even though Guo's house is five-entry, it is still crowded with more than [-] people. Rest in Guo's wing.

Bai Gui is not in a hurry, it is normal in this era that it will be delayed for more than ten days when it snows.

Accidents happen from time to time.

By the evening of the fourth day, Bai Gui was about to rest.

The door latch of the wing clicked lightly.

The sound of footsteps outside was very light. Bai Gui had practiced martial arts for so long, and the cicadas sensed it before the autumn wind moved. As soon as his ears moved, he recognized that it was Guo Juren's concubine, Muror Tian Xiao'e.

There is a charcoal brazier in the house for heating, so the house is not very dark, and the orange fire light is reflected on the beams and powder walls.

He coughed softly, got out of bed, kicked off his shoes, and lit the kerosene lamp.

The fire light shot up along the body of the glass bottle, making the whole room much brighter.

Bai Gui put on his robe and opened the door.

"Bai Xianggong, you want..."

When the young woman saw Bai Gui, her mind was immediately moved, and she was about to speak.

He was interrupted by Bai Gui.

"Guo Tangke, let's play backgammon for a while."

Bai Gui pointed to the chess set on the round table in the wing room, and said with a faint smile.

In the Qing Dynasty, women were generally called "tangke" after marriage.

For example, "Scholars" No. 20 six chapters: "When I get home, I ask my guest to talk to him, and the package will be completed.", No. 20 seven chapters, "Bring four pieces of jewelry tomorrow, and I still ask my guest to send them to him."

In "Great Changes in the Mountain and Country", "Contrary to him, his guest is a fried hot temper."

The tangke here refers to married women, inner chambers and the like.

"Five sons?"

Tian Xiaoe was startled.

She is the daughter of Tian Xiucai, and she has been a scholarly family since she was a child. How can she not know about backgammon.According to legend, before Yao made Go, there were backgammon games in the folk, but it was not called backgammon generally, and it was called "Lian Wuzi" or "Lianzhu", "Wumukeng" and other names.

But now in the dark night, playing with five sons is really a bit of a shame.

But Tian Xiaoe thought about it, maybe this is the taste of literati.

She twisted her hips, her eyes were watery, and she sat on the round stool very charmingly.

Very moist!

"Play chess!"

Bai Gui took his seat, calm and relaxed.

Although he thought Qi would have an affair, he thought about it and did it.Guo Juren treated him well, how could he do such dirty things, but Tian Xiaoe couldn't stop seducing him these days...

His collusion is inhumane to Guo Juren.As for Tian Xiaoe hooking him up, it is another way of saying it.

That night, Tian Xiaoe broke into his room directly.

Although the door of the side room is bolted, the windows are half closed because of the need for ventilation. The ancients also knew that there might be gas poisoning.

For example, Qin Guan was poisoned by gas. It is recorded in "Plum Blossom Thatched Cottage Notes": "Qin Guan once said: Fang Bi was poisoned by coal, he would suffer disasters, he was dry and thirsty, and he had recovered from lying down."

Qin Guan had a relatively good ending. During the Kangxi period, Feng Tingyue, a Jinshi, died of coal poisoning on September [-]th in the year of Gengchen.

Therefore, in the "First Aid Prescription", the method of preventing coal poisoning is specifically explained, "Put a basin of water in the house and make the windows ventilated. Although the coal smells bad, it cannot cause harm."

Therefore, water basins are placed in the wing rooms, and the windows are half-opened to prevent coal poisoning.

If you climb in through the window...,
It's not a problem, it's a problem!
Instead of this, it is better to welcome them in generously.

Anyway, Tian Xiaoe is just a concubine, and she went to his wing to seduce him, even if Guo Ju knew it, she wouldn't blame him too much.

In addition, he has a little sympathy for Tian Xiao'e. He married Guo Juren and was sold to the Guo family by Tian Xiucai. If he can help a little, he will help a little.

This seems to be incompatible with secular morality, but he is not really integrated into this era.

Sometimes, he chooses to abide by some rules, because such a choice can make the little people live a more suitable and calm life.Recklessly breaking the rules, on the contrary, makes the little people feel uncomfortable and panic all day long.I am happy, but for the little people, it is like the sky falling and the earth falling.

"If the sage is removed from the wisdom, the people will benefit a hundred times." - "Tao Te Ching"

But... the rules at this time are obviously inappropriate.

Destroy, just destroy!
A gentleman hides his utensils in his body and waits for the occasion to move!

The two started playing chess.

Backgammon is quite interesting, Bai Gui deliberately let Tian Xiaoe, so Tian Xiaoe finds it interesting to play backgammon, and can win Bai Gui, the "Ximen official".

Unconsciously time passed.

Then from midnight, until... until four or five o'clock in the morning.

The rooster in the backyard crowed.

Then.

Dogs barked again and again.

"Bai Xianggong... really intends to be with me for so long?"

A trace of resentment flashed in Tian Xiao'e's eyes, she held the white chess piece in her plain hand, she came to her senses and couldn't help asking.

"Guo Tang visited me tonight because of his elegance."

"Is there any other attempt?"

"Mr. Bai is a gentleman who governs the Spring and Autumn Period, and he would never dare to do those acts of stealing wives..."

Bai Gui smiled lightly and continued to drop sunspots.

Two hobbies for men.

One is to pull prostitutes to be good, and the other is to pull women from Liang's family into the water.Although the current Tian Xiao'e is not a romantic woman, she is similar to a romantic woman. He also finds it interesting to pull Cong Liang.

"Bai Xianggong...it's really interesting."

Tian Xiao'e was stunned, got up and saluted slightly, her posture became much more dignified, and she continued to play chess with her white pieces in her hands.

She understood what Bai Gui said.

Bai Gui knew why she came here, and someone who knows how to read is by no means just a wooden stump, pretending to be stupid.But Bai Gui knew it, and he gave her a bit of face, saying that it was because of his desire to come and play chess, not anything else.

Count... it's a respect for her.

Of course, if ordinary people do this, she will definitely not be able to resist spitting.But she took a look at Baigui... and felt that it was still tolerable, and instead felt a little grateful in her heart.

After a while, she realized that the time had come and she was about to leave.

"If Guo Tangke wants to play Lian Wuzi with me in the future... I can accompany you again."

Bai Gui shook his head and smiled.

Tian Xiao'e ran to him tonight, this matter may or may not be hidden.So what he said was to give Tian Xiaoe a guarantee after the Dongchuang incident, so that she would not have to worry too much about the future.

He held an umbrella for Xunzi.

When he saw Tian Xiaoe, he wouldn't mind holding another umbrella.

Tian Xiao'e walked to the door, thought for a while, and thanked her again. Although she still had the curvaceous beauty under the hazy night, her expression and movements at this moment were solemn and solemn, and she changed a little in a trance.

……

In the morning of the next day, I finished my martial arts practice in the martial arts field in the backyard of the Guo family.

Guo Juren mentioned this matter.

"As Mr. Bai, if you are able to be married to a noble girl like Baifu, you must look down on Xiao'e. I have also investigated a couple of times. It is because she is debauched, and it is true that when it comes to me At my age, you should be prepared for this when you marry her..."

"Xiao'e, I don't mind too much, I'm a concubine after all."

Guo Juren put down the "thirty catties" stone lock, his face was flushed, and he was full of energy, and said with emotion.

As he said, who hasn't read a few books and doesn't know what it will be like to marry a concubine who is in full bloom at his age.But if you know it, you know it, if you really dare to hook up with some bastard, you will definitely not be able to please.

But in front of Bai Gui, Guo Juren had no temper or anger.

First of all, this is Tian Xiaoe's own practice, and it has nothing to do with Bai Gui. With Bai Gui's status and wealth, I really want to get a concubine's room. It is not a big deal to carry ten or eight concubines to the house. Although a wife is not as good as a concubine, it is better to steal. It's better not to steal it, but Guo Juren still doesn't think Tian Xiao'e can get to this point, it's not because she is indispensable, secondly, it's the custom that scholar-bureaucrats live in boarding houses and give concubines from time to time, it's not a coincidence, it's just that he's generous once in a while.

In addition, he heard from his servants that Bai Gui really only played backgammon with Tian Xiaoe and did nothing.

A gentleman.

Liu Xiahui, sitting still in her arms.

"When you leave, you can take her away, but listen to my advice, such a woman..."

Guo Juren sighed and stopped.

"It made Guo Juren laugh, I've always been afraid of my wife..."

"When I came back from Yanjing, she told me not to mess with flowers and grass."

Bai Gui's face remained unchanged, and he said with a smile: "Our marriage is coming soon, and I don't want to make any more troubles. How about this, I will pay some money to buy her back, and I will decide what to do with her afterwards. I don't know what Guo Juren wants? "

He is not a gentleman, but sometimes it is no big deal to be a gentleman.

And what he told Guo Juren at the moment was also the truth.

As the wedding day approaches, do this...

"Wife's current crime"? !

If Tian Xiao'e had been bolder and more proactive, with his determination... Maybe he wouldn't be talking like he is now.

Whether it's Xunzi, or Tanabe Ryuko...,
He is passive, more!
"Fear?"

Guo Juren couldn't help laughing, "It seems that Mr. Bai is the same as me. When I was young, I was full of energy and blood. I thought about taking a concubine, but my wife stopped me. When I was old, I married a wife."

"Unexpectedly, Bai Xianggong is also like this, whether it is monogamous or monogamous."

He believed Bai Gui's words.

Because Bai Gui really had no reason to deceive him.

Bai Gui: "..."
