Shao Ge'er rescued Gao Huaide's sister. I just learned about it. Fu Yanqing sat down steadily on a cork chair. A beautiful middle-aged woman in silk and satin put her arm around him and handed him a teacup.
The woman said: His trip to Hebei was well worth it.
No, Fu Yanqing nodded calmly.
At this moment, two young ladies, one tall and one short, walked in from outside the curtain of the warm room. As soon as they entered the room, they knelt down and bowed softly, saying: "Daughter asks whether father and aunt are well."
Good, good. Fu Yanqing laughed and was very pleased. The woman also laughed and said: Alang has three precious pearls, these are them, each one is more beautiful and well-behaved than the other.
Fu Yanqing laughed and said: "No matter how good it is to have a daughter, she will be raised by someone else.
My father's petite wife immediately lifted the curtain and walked in, looking angry, her voice full of childishness. I am not from someone else's family, so I have to accompany my father and aunt.
Fu Yanqing said: "Stop talking nonsense. If you were a girl from a commoner family, you would have to be the head of the family when you were your sixth sister's age. Look at you, you still look terrible and you haven't even grown tall yet."
The young lady grabbed Fu Yanqing's arm and said in a soft voice: "Isn't my second sister still at home? It's still early for me."
Upon hearing this, Fu Yanqing ignored the young lady, looked up at the silent Fu Er outside the curtain, and scolded with a smile: "My daughters have grown up, each one is more opinionated than the other, and has more to say than their father. Why don't you just be the head of the Fu family? Just say that your eldest sister has become the queen and is giving orders to me."
The middle-aged woman smiled and said: Alang, that is the Empress Yizhi, the mother of the country, she understands it very well, you are right to listen to what she means.
After hearing this, Fu Yanqing looked up and asked: "Now that everyone has seen it, why don't you say anything today? Shao Ge'er may have only two things to do in Hebei this time. He will return to Tokyo after finishing both of them. Why don't you give me a clear idea and drag your feet? If this matter is dragged on, you will delay Lao Liu." He added: "If the second sister is picky, I still have Lao Liu.
Oh, what is Dad talking about? The girl at his knee raised her pink fist and hit Fu Yanqing on the leg.
The middle-aged woman said: Ah Lang, no, there must be a sequence. Fu Liu also said: I dare not compete with my second sister for my second brother-in-law, hehe, second sister, just give in. It is better than the Sanlang of Zhao Hongyin's family mentioned last time. I heard that Zhao Sanlang is a fat black man.
The woman said: It's not that dark at all, it's just that my age is not suitable.
Fu Yanqing snorted: The Queen doesn’t agree.
The tall and graceful woman outside the curtain did not act like a spoiled child in front of Fu Yanqing like Fu Liu did. At this time, she finally spoke softly: Dad said that he had to do two things, wasn't it to save Gao Huaide's sister, and the other was to form an alliance with our Fu family? Dad, you have to ask him, which of the two things he came to Hebei for, is more important
Fu Yanqing was annoyed when he heard this: "You are still immature. You keep thinking about messy and useless things. You should think more about practical things. You should be as sensible as your elder sister."
Fu Er whispered: My eldest sister and I grew up together and I know what she is thinking. My eldest sister is not the kind of person my father said she was.
Fu Yanqing said: "Then you should listen to your sister. The matter of Guo's Shao was your sister's idea. But I think your sister is very thoughtful and reasonable."
The woman hurriedly advised: Alang, stop talking about her. Second sister, don't be angry with your father. He scolds you but feels pain in his heart. He is the father who loves you the most. Our Fu family is a wealthy family. For such matters between children, other families would still ask their children whether they agree or not. Don't you think so
Fu Ermei's voice was a little strange: I know in my heart that my daughter can't bear to leave her father. In this world, besides my father, who else is sincere to us sisters
Fu Yanqing sighed, with a complicated expression. I have said it before, no matter how good a daughter you raise is, she is still someone else's.
Soon, a woman came to the door and called out "Alang" carefully.
Fu Yanqing said: Come in and tell me what’s the matter.
The man knelt on the ground and said, "Alang, Mr. Li sent someone to say that General Guo has returned from Dingzhou and was slightly injured but it's not serious. General Guo is now in the ceremonial hall outside the mansion, and he and Madam Gao want to thank Alang for sending troops to help."
Fu Yanqing said: Ask Li Da to make arrangements and hold a banquet at noon to welcome Madam Gao.
Because Madam Gao was a female member of the family, the banquet was not held in the main hall, nor were a group of famous civil and military officials invited to accompany them. Instead, it was held in a quiet and elegant dining room in the inner house. This place was fully equipped with halls, teahouses, and rest rooms. Although it was not as grand as receiving high-ranking officials and generals, it was like a family banquet; Fu Yanqing even brought his wife to the banquet, which showed that their friendship was extraordinary.
Fu Ermei was very familiar with this inner house, having lived here almost every day for these years. She first spoke to the housekeeper so that they wouldn't look for her everywhere, and then she quietly hid in an ear room.
She put her jade-like finger on the tip of her tongue and licked it, then reached out and poked a small hole in the window paper, then squinted one eye and leaned in to look outside. She was immediately amused and quickly covered her mouth and laughed secretly for a while.
After waiting for a long time, she leaned on a Xiangfei bamboo couch and waited in boredom. She fell asleep and was awakened by the noise outside. She hurriedly stood up timidly and looked through the prepared hole. As expected, she could see and hear the people and voices outside clearly.
Guo Shaozheng said that he wanted to worship Madam Gao as his sister. Guo Shao was so shameless to get close to a woman he had just met once. He almost felt that he was eager to become a family with Gao Huaide. This man was too utilitarian. Fu Ermei reminded herself: You must see his true face. He was just for fame and fortune, so he tried his best to be so nice to Madam Gao, whom he had never met. Look at his virtue, he is more filial than his son.
He also came to Daming Mansion with great enthusiasm to seek marriage alliance and borrow the influence of Fu family. He was willing to marry the maid in the BMW car during the Lantern Festival.
Fu Ermei felt a little regretful when she thought of this: Why didn't she let the dark and strong woman who swept the yard play Fu Erniang? I wanted to see what his attitude would be. But that seemed too fake. How could a woman from the Wei Wang family be so tanned
Well, Aunt Wang San, who was responsible for doing the dirty work of emptying the toilet in the concubine's room, is quite suitable. She is not black, but has a crooked mouth and a few big moles on her face.
Fu Ermei was lost in thought, and the banquet outside had already ended. The four people at the banquet left the cups, plates, wine and food on the table for the servants to clean up, and got up to drink tea in another place.
The teahouse happened to be right next to it, so Fu Ermei only needed to dig another hole in the window paper on the other side.
Guo Shao was already drunk and his face was red. Madam Gao had a scar on the left side of her forehead, but she had put on makeup to cover it up. The servants served tea, desserts and fruits, and then retreated to the door.
At this time, Fu Yanqing stood up and said, "General Guo, Madam Gao, you two brothers and sisters can have tea here. I am old, and I have to rest for a while after lunch. Sorry, please sit down, just treat it as home, no need to be polite. If you want to rest later, call the servants outside the door. There are several side rooms in this yard.
Fu Yanqing and his wife said goodbye and left.
At this time, Gao said with some emotion: These two days have really felt like a dream. I have escaped from the sea of suffering and have a good younger brother.
Sister Guo Shao said softly, I really want to treat you as a sister. I need a sister. Without a sister, I don’t know why, I feel like a hollow walking corpse.
Gao smiled and said: Look at what you said, many people don’t have sisters, it’s nothing, Brother Guo, do you have sisters
There was a time when Guo Shao looked a little dazed and had indeed drunk a lot of wine.
Gao quickly stopped smiling, and the smile on her face froze there: What's wrong
Guo Shao choked up and said in a very low voice: "My sister has suffered so much and has never had a good day. I want to repay her after I succeed in life and make up for everything she has done for me."
There was nothing fake about his expression; it was completely from the heart.
My dear brother, things in this world are unpredictable, so you should think positively. Your sister will be happy in heaven if she knows that you have this heart. Gao was busy trying to comfort him.
Guo Shao shook his head, not knowing which of Gao's words he was denying.
He fell silent, as if recalling something. After a long while, he murmured in a soft and low voice, as if he was confessing something: When I was a child, I lived in the countryside, far from the school. I had to leave very early to go to school. In winter, before dawn, my sister would send me to a faraway place on a hillside. Every time, I would be there and could see the school. She would stand there and look at me. After walking for a while, I would look back and see a figure, and I would feel at ease.
Guo Shao suddenly wiped away tears with his sleeve: Later I heard from my mother that my sister was most afraid of the dark. She was most afraid of walking on a dark road alone, so she would not let me walk on a dark road alone.
My dear brother Gao was also moved.
Guo Shao shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, what happened to me today? I drank too much and lost my composure. I shouldn't have told you this."
It's okay. Gao said in a trembling voice, some people have known him for decades, but they are still strangers; some people have only known him for a few days, but they are like old friends. I was able to escape from the tiger's mouth, all thanks to my dear brother, you don't have to treat me as an outsider.
Guo Shaomeng took a sip of tea and asked: I am now the military governor of Xuzhou, the military governor of the imperial guards of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Is this considered a success
Gao said without hesitation: Of course, there are countless people in the world who can be ranked above you, my dear brother.
Guo Shaozui was dizzy, but his face had regained confidence. He nodded and said, "Very good. I believe in myself. Even if I change to another dynasty or any era, there will always be a day when I can stand out. My sister can no longer see me, but there are still people who care about me here. I should keep all of this and let them live a stable and good life."
