Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

Before Guo Shao left the inn, he sent Lu Chengyong to the Chen Jiali Mansion to say hello. Bi·qi·zhong·wen·net·first·post

Lu Chengyong rode to the front of Chen Mansion. This relatively remote part of the west of the city was blocked for a long way today. The street was full of carts and horses, and a group of people were queuing outside the gate. Lu Chengyong didn't wear armor at the moment, and he didn't wear a robe or hat. He rode straight up, but he heard some people cursing: "It's a bit of a rule of first come, first come, wait behind."

He listened and asked, "What are you doing?"

"What are you here for? Let's do what." A fat man in silk robe snorted.

Lu Chengyong ignored them and went straight to the door and shouted.

... In a wing room in the front yard, only a bamboo curtain was hung at the door. Several people stood under the eaves but did not enter. One by one was bowing and speaking to the inside.

Inside the room, Chen Jiali held her hands in front of her abdomen, and walked slowly for a few steps. She sighed "Oh", "I am a widowed poor woman, who is always careful not to make trouble. You are all bearded husbands, always What are you doing at home?"

A middle-aged man bent over and said, "Mrs. Shen (Chen Chen), after all, we are still from the Shen family. It doesn't matter to the former owner of the house, but Da Lang called your mother for several years. Look at Da Lang. Last, come forward to preside over major business events, everyone is looking forward to your coming out."

A faint smile appeared at the corner of Chen Jiali's mouth, but her tone was very resentful: "How dare, Brother Shen said that is really shameful to me, I have hid in this secluded place, the second sister-in-law didn't say that I was secretly... I’m not talking about it."

"This ignorant woman, I must take care of her when I go back!" The middle-aged man was annoyed. "We are here to apologize for treating the wife so badly before; there are a lot of madams, but don't care, help us get the goods back. . This kindness, our Shen family can hardly remember."

An old man was annoyed: "What did she really say badly? She turned to the house in the afternoon and kowtowed to Madam Shen to admit her mistake in person!"

Chen Jiali hurriedly said: "Don't be like that. Although the second sister-in-law is not in the family, she is older than me. You want her to hate me?"

Another young man wearing a robe and holding a fan hurriedly said, "Now that the road of Shu is under the control of Zhou Jun, I can’t wait to seize the supply of goods and sell it for nothing, and it has made other homes for nothing. Madam has such a large backer, if she comes forward, many people will Waiting to send money to buy shares, we have nothing left."

Someone excitedly said: "With the great backer of the Zhou court, relatives and relatives, in the future, we will become royal merchants and we can also get involved in the salt industry..."

Chen Jiali said quietly: "What kind of backer, it's just doing a few business with his family, and having a little friendship. You are so ugly, and there are people gossiping, as if I am not obedient to women."

The middle-aged merchant immediately said with a stern face: "The people in our merchants, who dare to slander Mrs. Bingqingyujie's fame, people and gods are angry! No one can spare him!"

Everyone immediately agreed: "Yes, yes..." "Madam is widowed at a young age and does not marry, and she takes pains to raise Shen Dalang. I propose to let the officials of Kaifeng prefecture to play and set up a chastity memorial for his wife." "This chaotic world is like this. There are not many people like Madam Shen who keep the festival like jade, and some people slander the reputation. It is really a pig and a dog!"

"Why didn't Chen Weng come here? It would be easier if we asked Chen Weng to do something..."

At this moment, a middle-aged woman hurriedly walked in and called out at the door: "Madam." Chen Jiali responded, and the woman opened the curtain and walked in, and whispered a few words in front of Chen Jiali.

Chen Jiali was overjoyed and said, "Get your cart and horse."

She hurriedly took the veil and put it on, and walked out from the door. Everyone looked at her respectfully: "Madam..."

Chen Jiali said: "Such a big matter, let's talk about it later. I have to deal with something urgent."

She went out in a carriage and walked all the way north to the West Market. Aunt Sun was in the same car with her. Chen Jiali's face flushed and she whispered: "Those people just said they were going to set up a chastity memorial for me. They laughed so hard, would I like that?"

Aunt Sun said: "As many as hundreds of thousands of goods, Zhou Jun Wufu is not affected by the number of return, not to mention the Shen Chen Li merchants, those small merchants all believe that the wife's road can pass the sky."

Chen Jiali whispered: "It's just a word from him, I didn't do anything."

Aunt Sun smiled: "The Nanping Guo Gaobao who intercepted our goods was terribly scared, and all that was eaten vomited out without telling us, and it caused us to have so many goods of unknown origin."

"That's okay, I haven't seen money." Chen Jiali raised her head and said, "Tell me to take a breath of anger but feel very comfortable. The shrew who only speaks badly behind her back, I wonder if she will come over and kowtow to me tomorrow. Humph! Don't look at what I am, and have the face to humiliate me."

Aunt Sun agreed: "I heard that Shen Er bought a house outside and raised a concubine. She didn't return home once for ten and a half months. That woman seemed like a widow."

They arrived at the place in a short time, and the group of them entered through the warehouse entrance behind the shop and asked about the location of Guo Shao. Chen Jiali stopped her entourage and walked in one after the other with Aunt Sun, only to see Guo Shao and a young lady sitting at the table waiting.

Chen Jiali took a look, and she couldn't help but startled slightly. This brother Shao’s friends are surprising. Last time I brought a dirty, smelly and hungry person. This time I’m going to take a village girl!

Chen Jiali really can’t tell what it feels like. It’s fine for a woman like her cousin Zhou Xian to make Guo Shao take care of her. What is the relationship between him and a village girl, and she doesn’t want to think about who she is, why bother to practice herself. .

But of course Chen Jiali will not show her thoughts, but she has a smile on her face, and she makes a blessing: "The concubine is polite, congratulations to General Guo for his victory in the attack on Shu."

Guo Shao casually clasped his fists in return and smiled: "He and Tongxi, the world will quell wars, which is good for all industries."

"General Guo is reasonable. Those tycoons who hold fertile fields may not care so much, but they are business people like us, who most expect smooth business routes and safe roads." Chen Jiali said casually.

Unexpectedly, Guo Shao was thoughtful after listening, and did not answer the topic for a long time.

Chen Jiali naturally turned her gaze to the "village girl" next to her, with a fond smile on her face. This village girl had never seen the world at the first glance, so she didn't say anything in her rustic style. Chen Jiali said, "What a beautiful little lady, who is General Guo?"

Guo Shao said: "Her surname is Lu, and her father has the name of Lu's genius doctor. She is an old friend with me. Don't look at Lady Lu at her young age. Her medical skills have long been famous. Lady Lu, this is my good friend Chen. lady."

Sure enough, the young lady's bright eyes looked at herself, her style was not small. Chen Jiali smiled and saluted: "It is a great honor for the shelter to receive Lady Lu." Lu Lan still said nothing.

Guo Shao said: "Mrs. Chen took Lu Niangzi to pick up some clothes. She doesn't need silk or silk. She may not be used to wearing it for a while, just plain ones." After that, she turned her head to persuade Lu Lan very gently: "The linen cloth is too thick to wear. It’s uncomfortable, this is the reward you deserve, don’t mind.”

Lu Lan said helplessly: "Okay." With only two words, the accent was completely different from that of a Tokyo native.

Chen Jiali said: "Let's change a place, it's upstairs."

The group got upstairs and reached a very luxurious room. In this place, there are several pieces of ready-made clothes hanging outside, a few tables and chairs, and even a chess board; inside the warm pavilion is a round door with delicate embroidery, and inside is a place for women’s underwear and changing clothes.

Since Guo Shao brought the people in person, how could Chen Jiali neglect to take the little girl into the warming pavilion, specially picking expensive materials. Chen Jiali smiled and said, "Lady Lu takes off her clothes first, let's try the ones inside."

I saw Lu Lan tugging at the clothes, very embarrassed. Chen Jiali said softly: "You see women serving you, and there are no windows in it. Some young ladies in Tokyo dare to change clothes here. Don't worry."

Lu Lan just undressed.

Chen Jiali looked at it calmly, and felt that Guo Shao's eyes were actually quite poisonous. Although this lady was petite and had very good skin, few women could match her **** alone. However, wearing that kind of undercut fat coat and skirt affected the appearance, and the whole figure was as pure and refined as a lotus root with a rough shell peeled off.

"I heard from General Guo just now that he didn't have any money, so he might have to take credit." Lu Lan seemed to like Chen Jiali a little bit, and finally talked to her, "Don't choose too expensive."

Chen Jiali heard this laugh from ear to ear, and said: "Don't worry, I will pick the cheapest one. If he fails, I will not lose much."

Lu Lan said, "It won't be enough to fail."

Chen Jiali casually took a light-colored floral, dark-colored collared top: "Try this one, you see it is cloth, it's not worth a few dollars."

This material is interlaced with silk and cotton threads. This kind of cotton is transported from the Western Regions, and the weaving is very slow, requiring the most skilled and careful weavers; the patterns above are even more laborious. This material does not look as shiny as silk, but it is more than ten times more expensive than ordinary silk. It absorbs sweat and breathes when worn, and ladies like to wear it in summer.

The tailoring is exquisite and the stitches on the top are not what ordinary tailors can do~www.readwn.com~ The clothes in the court may not be professionally done by merchants.

Lu Xiaoniang picked up the corner of her clothes and glanced at it: "The things in the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty are indeed very good."

Chen Jiali smiled without saying a word, and said to her heart: This little girl is not an ordinary village girl, she is quite knowledgeable. And Chen Jiali casually took a look. The little lady had pierced her ears but she didn't wear earrings. This little lady was obviously not a stodgy person, she probably just had a bad family background.

Chen Jiali asked someone to serve her in dressing, and greeted Aunt Sun by herself. A little while later, Aunt Sun took a jewelry box and came in. Chen Jiali chose the smallest pair of gold earrings for Lu Xiaoniang to wear. It is not obvious at first glance, but the carved patterns of the earrings are very small, which is in line with the simple appearance and elegant interior...just like Guo Shao said.

After a while, Lu Xiaoniang changed her outfit from the inside out and came out neatly. Guo Shao's expression was taken aback. Chen Jiali praised her by her side: "There is a mirror over there. You don't look so publicly. But no one dares to look down upon you. If there is, then she must be an ignorant layman."

Lu Xiaoniang glanced in front of the bronze mirror, she didn't say anything, but her face was flushed, she should be very happy.
