The bright lights in the dark night, the banquets in the high gate, and the crisp laughter of women in the beautiful and antique buildings. Although it is only a small place under the endless night, the atmosphere of the Dong family brings a sense of prosperity and peace.
My dear brother, you are indeed a trickster. Gao is smiling coquettishly and says, "Let's drink."
Guo Shao had no choice but to pick up the wine glass, shielding it with his left hand, and drank it all in one gulp. The young woman in a corset beside him carefully picked up the wine pot and skillfully poured the wine, not a drop of it spilled in the trembling sound.
General Gao is here. According to the rules, whoever loses will be replaced. Guo Shao turned around and said.
Gao Huaide declined and said: "Guo Du Dianjian, please accompany elder sister to shake the ball a few more times, and then we will become familiar with each other."
The two rolled the dice again, and when Gao called out the number, she joked: "Don't cheat this time, you're not being honest." While she was talking, she could look at Guo Shao carefully, which made her look more natural.
The young man in front of her made her feel like she couldn't let him go. She couldn't tell what was so good about him, but Gao wished he could throw himself into her arms and get closer to her. Guo Shao was wearing a thin and breathable flax coat. Cotton, the worst material besides coarse linen, was still scarce at that time, and its price was close to that of silk. Flax could not even be ironed flat, but when worn by Guo Shao, he looked elegant and didn't look shabby at all. Gao took a closer look and found that it was Guo Shao's collar. Inside was a white silk stand-up collar lining. The collar was casually half-open, but it gave people a very sophisticated and neat feeling. It might be mainly because of his straight neck and posture. He looked very good. If this was worn by someone else, it might not feel that way.
If Gao had not known Guo Shao's background very well, they would not have thought that he was a warrior from a lower class background. Instead, they might have thought that he came from a noble family that was richer than the Gao and Dong families.
The delicate white silk material makes the relatively coarse sesame look very textured, adding a bit of plainness and low-keyness, bringing a sense of restraint that silk and satin cannot achieve. There is another gold clip on the collar that is decorated with something unknown, as if he is wearing an expensive piece of clothing with unknown hidden value. In fact, sesame is sesame, and it cannot be more expensive than silk.
Gao saw this and felt that Guo Shao looked rough at first, but was actually very meticulous in details. Gao had this intuition: such a person is very knowledgeable and capable, and in fact he is like that.
Should I believe you? Gao looked at Guo Shao with a smile, a bit of joking and playful, her eyes full of charm and joy from the heart.
She couldn't see what she looked like, but she felt that she was the most beautiful and attractive when she was very charming, as if she was trying her best to seduce Guo Shao. This self-feeling was very wonderful, just like a woman in a good mood dressed up and appeared in front of others, just to make people think she was very beautiful, a double satisfaction of vanity and self-identity. Only a woman in a low mood would be sloppy and disregard her image.
Gao no longer felt that she was an insignificant widow whose sons had grown up. She had a feeling of spring, as if she had returned to her youth. She was just a beautiful woman with amorous feelings and a love for daydreaming.
At this time, Gao felt that the two of them seemed to be teasing each other, full of ambiguity and high emotions. However, she had to suppress herself and kept covering up and restraining herself.
Because she knew her identity and her relationship with Guo Shao. She also had her brothers and her own sons, as well as several family members and women, so she couldn't make it too obvious. It was a great pleasure for the two families of Dong and Gao to have a good relationship with the most powerful generals in the world, but if there was a scandal, it would be bad for their reputation, and everyone had to save face.
So Gao only pretended to be in a love-forgetting game and made some ambiguous gestures. Perhaps others could still feel that the relationship was a bit too much, but no one was sure, just thinking it was a joke and that the lady was in a good mood on her birthday today.
Seven Three Guo Shao pretended to be confident and shouted, and said, Sister Yi, please note that two points are a leopard and can be regarded as any number of points.
I don't believe it, open it and see. Gao looked at Guo Shao's face and smiled. She leaned forward, eager to see Guo Shao's dice. When she met Guo Shao's eyes with shyness, she wished her eyes could sparkle.
Guo Shaodao: You win.
No, I want to see it. Gao refused and reached out to grab the dice tube from Guo Shao's hand. Her fingers touched his strong hand with thick veins. She trembled in her heart and tried hard to search for the body temperature that she could vaguely feel.
When the dice roll was opened, Guo Shao's points were all different. It was a really bad hand. Gao laughed with a mocking look on her face. She put her hands on her chest and laughed. In this action, she secretly pressed her round chest with her fingers to make a dimple, which made people think of their touch. She looked breathless, and her chest was also heaving.
Sure enough, Guo Shao's eyes quickly swept across Gao's chest. She saw it all and felt beautiful in her heart.
Guo Shao drank some wine and asked Gao Huaide to take over. Most of the people had watched it for a while, so they took turns to play. Those who hadn't played watched from the sidelines, joined in the fun and had a lot of fun.
At this time, Dong Zunhui was fighting with his wife. Guo Shao, who was sitting next to Dong Zunhui, leaned forward and chatted with Gao, making Gao laugh again. Gao blushed and looked at Guo Shao seriously and said: "Thank you very much today. Although there is no big banquet, this year's birthday is the happiest one for me."
As long as my sister is happy, it's good. Guo Shao nodded and said, you see Dong Zunhui is a pillar of the Great Zhou, the Gao family and the Dong family are both rich, and my sister should enjoy her own happiness.
"Hmm," Gao replied softly, and tried her best to make her words sound decent and polite. "My dear brother, you are young and promising, and you hold a high position, but you treat me, a woman, like this. It is really a blessing for me."
Gao felt very comfortable when hearing Guo Shao's low and gentle voice. "Sister Yi has suffered in the enemy country. Now that you have returned to our capital, we should all treat you well." Men are in power in this world, but because of this, the more civilized the place, the higher the status of women.
Gao smiled and said: I like what you said, my dear brother. I wish everyone in the world thought like you.
The woman next to them heard their conversation and said to Gao Huaide: Alang, your elder sister has a good brother.
Gao Huaide laughed and said: Are you talking about me
Gao Shi really has everything she needs now. The Dong family has accumulated a lot of wealth, and her mother's family is also a wealthy family. She can buy whatever she wants, but there are still some things she can't buy. If she can spend money to buy it like a man likes her, she is willing to pay an extremely high price to buy Guo Shao to accompany her. The problem is that Guo Shao is not short of money.
Gradually, several people were drunk. They didn't know what time it was, but it was late. Everyone was still not satisfied, but it was too late and some people had already started yawning. The dishes on the table had already gone cold, and some dishes had been reheated several times. No one was eating anymore.
The banquet was over, leaving the table littered with cups and plates, and the dice had fallen to the ground.
Gao Huaide stood up shakily: Zunhui, your house has a place for your uncle to sleep.
His elder sister Gao immediately said: "Of course not, my child's father is gone, and my uncle is the closest person to me." The eldest brother treated this place as his own home.
Mother is right. Dong Zunhui nodded and turned to look at Guo Shao. It was getting late. Uncle Guo was staying overnight. He had everything he needed. Yu'er, accompany Uncle Guo to find a wing room.
Yu'er was the maid who served wine to Guo Shao.
After hearing this, Gao gave the young lady a look: Zunhui is drunk and making trouble. You go and arrange a place for your uncle and aunt to sleep first.
After a little hesitation, Guo Shao agreed and asked Gao to send someone to arrange a place for his followers to rest.
Gao had a good alcohol tolerance, and although she couldn't drink much, she was sober and not drunk at all. She and two maids took Guo Shao to the sleeping place. One maid walked in front holding a lantern, she followed, and the other maid walked at the back holding a lantern.
The group walked north along the corridor, and Gao pointed to the path to the west: People often walk up and down this side, and I was afraid they would disturb you, so the house over there is quiet.
Several people entered a house, and Gao personally took Guo Shao, who had drunk a little too much, into the bedroom. The servant took out a mat and a quilt from the cabinet. Gao whispered: "You go wait outside first, don't stay here for long." General Guo and Dalang were of different generations, and he was drunk, and he was afraid that if something happened, he would be laughed at.
The two maids hurried out of the room. Gao personally made the bed for Guo Shao.
Although Guo Shao had drunk a lot of wine, he still looked sober and spoke politely: "Please trouble my sister to do this yourself."
You are in my house, so of course I have to take good care of you. Gao said calmly. Suddenly she had the opportunity to be alone in a room with Guo Shao, which made her heart beat fast. She really expected Guo Shao to hug her now, even a hug. She felt that her body was about to go limp, as if something was caressing her whole body, and she felt flustered and uncomfortable. But she couldn't find a proper excuse to touch his body. Etiquette and ethics did not allow it, so she could only endure this torment.
But Guo Shao was not as drunk as he was last time, so he did not dare to do anything rash. Gao slowly and carefully prepared the mat while thinking. She felt that Guo Shao still had improper thoughts after that incident, otherwise why would he give her such a shameful thing? He was hinting that she should throw herself into his arms.
But Gao recalled his hesitation when she asked him to stay overnight. Gao couldn't figure out what he was thinking. If she took the initiative, it would be embarrassing if she was rejected. Most importantly, it might destroy the close relationship between siblings, which was not as solid as that between real siblings.
At this time, Gao whispered: Why did you give me that kind of thing
