People tend to have a fluke mentality. If they are not careful, they will only think about what will happen if good things happen. Qin Liang was indeed a little over the top at the Wu Mansion dinner a few days ago, but when he calmed down and thought about it, it was still because he had too much expectations.
The reason. Just like the saying: without hope, there will be no disappointment.
Today, the fifth day of October, the sky is cloudy and gray, with neither rain nor snow.
But the weather did not affect Qin Liang's mood much, and the depression that night had passed. It was not that he had never experienced setbacks and depression. Not to mention that he had lived in anxiety for almost half of his previous life. Even in the Wei Dynasty, when he was under Cao Shuang
The people of Fu Gan and Yu had to wait for Wu soldiers in Huainan for a long time. They just had to wait a little longer and continue to look for opportunities.
Qin Liang went to the palace early in the morning to attend the court meeting and listened to the ministers talk about national affairs. Qin Liang came with Wang Guang in the morning, but when he went back, Qin Liang chose to go with his cousin Linghuyu to the general's mansion.
We talked about our long history for a long time, and we were very happy.
Linghuyu didn't have a good reputation, but he should have a good temperament and was easy to get along with. Qin Liang and Linghuyu rode together in the same car until they arrived near the General's Mansion before saying goodbye.
After returning to the school affairs office, Qin Liang quickly met someone from Mrs. Wu's house. The visitor said that Mrs. Wu did not thank her properly that night, and had specially prepared a lunch today to please the governor.
The Wu Mansion is indeed not far from the school affairs office. After lunch, he can go back to the government office to continue his duties. Qin Liang first thought of Master Sima, but they had only met a few days ago. What else could happen now? Anyway,
Qin Liang felt that he should go there, since it was just for lunch anyway.
Near noon, Qin Liang got on the carriage. The carriage was light and easy, and the only companions were Wang Kang and Wu Xin. Yinci asked Wu Xin to accompany him as a guard, and Wu Xin was almost always by Qin Liang's side during the day.
Qin Liang thought about it along the way: Master Sima sent a girl to be a spy last time, and he might want to send another one. Could it be Mrs. Wu?
If it is Mrs. Wu, Qin Liang can still accept it, not only because of her beauty, but mainly because it is impossible for Mrs. Wu to live in the Qin family. Even if she is an abandoned woman, she is also the daughter of a Chou Hou and will not be Qin Liang's concubine.
Qin Liang had asked Lingjun before, if you encounter a situation where it is difficult to refuse in the officialdom and have an intimate affair with a girl, will you be angry? As a result, Lingjun doesn't care about such things at all, and said that if you care too much, others will
She is said to be jealous; but your Majesty has a request, that is, you cannot take the girl home casually, and you must obtain her consent. Otherwise, if you meet someone you don't like, you will be very upset in front of her all day long.
Of course, Qin Liang felt that it was impossible for Master Sima to send the Wu family away.
The journey was not far, and they soon arrived at Wu's house. Qin Liang was led to the gatehouse from last time, and sure enough he saw Mrs. Wu waiting for her.
The two bowed to each other and then entered the gatehouse and walked up the corridor. Because it had only been a few days since the last banquet, Qin Liang remembered this road, but today was noon. The room where the banquet was held had changed, this time it was in the courtyard.
In the hall. When Qin Liang walked in, he didn't see Master Sima.
Qin Liang couldn't help but turn his head and glance at Mrs. Wu.
Mrs. Wu said: "Sima Ziyuan did not come today. I invited you."
Qin Liang smiled a little awkwardly, cupped his hands and said: "Mrs. Wu is so polite." But everyone has come, and the banquet is in the hall during the day. After dinner, there is nothing to do. Otherwise, it would be a bit awkward to leave like this.
Don’t give me face. Didn’t Master Sima say that if you have any problem, you can go to Mrs. Wu?
The food and wine were on the same table. Mrs. Wu knelt down opposite and poured wine for Qin Liang. Qin Liang stretched out his hand to hold the wine glass.
At this moment, a maid came in and whispered something in Mrs. Wu's ear. Qin Liang was kneeling opposite, and he heard it too. The maid said: "Mrs. Zhen is here."
"I understand." Mrs. Wu said. The maid then bent down and stepped away.
Mrs. Wu turned around and said to Qin Liang: "Forgive me, I have to go and greet you."
Qin Liang said calmly: "Madam, please excuse me."
When Mrs. Wu stood up, she suddenly whispered: "Mrs. Zhen is a widow and her reputation is not very good."
"Oh." Qin Liangming nodded, not knowing what to say. It was impossible for him to say that there was not much difference between a deposed woman and a widow.
He thought to himself: Let me just say that Master Sima cannot send Mrs. Wu away.
Qin Liang's drinking capacity is not very good, but he can eat meat very well. He doesn't care so much and eats alone first. Don't leave hungry like last time.
After waiting for a while, Qin Liang felt someone coming outside the door, so he took out his handkerchief and wiped his mouth. When the two people walked to the door, he stood up from the banquet. Before he could stand up, he was stunned for a moment.
Because Qin Liang had seen the beautiful woman Mrs. Wu brought in.
Isn't this the Taoist priest next to Queen Mother Guo? It turns out that this female Taoist priest is a spy of the Sima family.
No wonder Queen Mother Guo is so cautious, as if she has no power, and everyone around her is controlled by others. She probably can't do anything, and everything is under the supervision of others.
"You are here too." Mrs. Zhen first smiled and then bowed to Qin Liang.
Qin Liang said: "Nice to meet you, nice to meet you."
Wu's voice said: "Do you two know each other?"
Mrs. Zhen said with a smile: "We have met."
Qin Liang looked at this Zhen family and thought: This is a fake Taoist priest.
She was not wearing a Taoist robe today. She was wearing a dark black dress with peach blossom embroidery on the edge. She had real gold hairpins on her temples and flower-shaped gold earrings on her ears. She was also painted with makeup. Qin Liang had never seen a real Taoist priest before.
She would dress up and make up so carefully and wear gold and silver.
However, Mrs. Zhen was very beautiful, with a well-proportioned oval face, a pair of almond-shaped eyes, a charming smile, and fair skin. When Qin Liang saw her for the first time, he had secretly thought that the women in the palace were indeed extraordinary.
Zhen is probably in her twenties or thirties, and it is rare for her skin to be so well maintained. Qin Liang is used to seeing girls in their teens, so when he looks at Zhen, he can still tell the difference. The bones and skin of a beautiful woman of this age are very different.
The feeling is different from that of a girl. However, Zhen's figure is curvy and bulging, and she is more plump and plump than the young Mrs. Wu's figure.
Moreover, this beautiful woman is very good at dressing up. The dark clothes can be cut to fit her perfectly, showing off the curves of her figure. Looking at her waist, it doesn’t look like she has given birth to a child. If the clothes are to be cut and sewn according to the size of each part of the body,
If it is made, it will actually consume more fabric and need to cut out a lot of leftover materials. If Mrs. Zhen didn't deliberately show off her figure, why would she bother with that?
Mrs. Wu asked the maid to bring bowls, chopsticks and cups, and said to Mrs. Zhen: "Previously, Yin Mo from the school affairs office had set up a trap and came to search the house again and again. It was Qin Jun who helped me, and today I have a special banquet to express my gratitude."
Qin Liang said: "Mrs. Wu is very polite and courteous. Liang is just a simple effort, not worth mentioning."
As he spoke, he paid attention to Mrs. Zhen. Mrs. Zhen had already put away her smile and nodded seriously to cooperate.
Mrs. Wu picked up the wine glass and said, "I shouldn't have criticized the emperor harshly that day. Please punish yourself with three glasses of wine." After saying this, she drank it with her sleeve and continued to pour the wine.
Qin Liang said hurriedly: "It's okay, it's just an angry remark. Who would be so stingy?"
Mrs. Wu drank three cups in a row, filled the cup again and said: "The Lord saved me from the siege and drove away Yin Mo. I would like to offer you a cup to express my gratitude."
After the two drank, Mrs. Wu said again: "You acted righteously and killed the evil thief Yin Mo. This is very satisfying. I respect you."
Qin Liang saw that Mrs. Wu's face was very red, and she seemed to be incapable of drinking, so he quickly advised her: "Mrs. Wu, be more casual, don't drink too much, and have some food."
Mrs. Zhen still sat beside her without saying a word, nor did she offer a toast. Her kneeling posture was very upright and elegant.
As expected, Mrs. Wu's drinking capacity was probably worse than Qin Liang's. After a few drinks, she hurriedly covered her mouth, got up from the banquet, and tried her best to say, "Excuse me."
Now only Qin Liang and Zhen were left, with Zhen sitting on her knees on one side.
She put her hand to her lips, but did not bite her fingers. Her movements were very seductive. She looked at Qin Liang and said softly: "Where were you peeking just now? What bad things were you thinking about?"
This beautiful woman was incredible. She changed the atmosphere with just one sentence. The polite and respectful atmosphere just now was completely gone.
Qin Liang said casually: "Let's see, it's not illegal."
The beautiful woman's almond-shaped eyes suddenly curled up with a smile, and she said softly in a coaxing tone: "I didn't say that I wouldn't let you see it. I am such a ruined flower, but I can still be in your eyes. How happy can I be?"
Qin Liang said: "You can't say that. Sometimes wine tastes better if it's stored for a while."
The beautiful woman smiled even more joyfully and said, "You are really good at talking." She paused for a while and whispered, "I said that I keep my integrity like a jade and don't give things to others easily. Do you believe it?"
Qin Liang said casually: "Why don't I believe it?"
Compared with later generations, the women of the Wei Dynasty were very conservative. Even the prostitute Chaoyun was not easily touched.
It is not easy to take the initiative to pay someone. In addition to the fact that Confucian women's morality is still the mainstream value, she is probably also afraid that no one will be responsible for the pregnancy. Qin Liang has never seen a woman take the initiative, let alone in front of someone she just met. What's more, this Zhen in front of him
Although she is a little older, she is much more beautiful than Chaoyun. She is not on the same level at all.
He thought for a while and then said calmly, "There don't seem to be many people with the surname Zhen."
The beautiful woman said softly: "It turns out that my surname is not Zhen."
Qin Liang pondered for a moment and then asked: "Do you want to live in my house?" Zhen glared at her almond-shaped eyes: "You have such a beautiful idea! Do I know that you are married and want to take a concubine?" Qin Liang confirmed again:
"You really don't need to stay at my house?"
Zhen shook her head and smiled: "I don't want to be a concubine."
Qin Liang said: "This is Mrs. Wu's house, it seems inconvenient. How about we go to the guest house later?" Zhen asked in surprise: "What to do?" Qin Liang frowned and said: "What did you say? Of course it's friendship.
|Hehe. I think you have a good figure and are very beautiful, a hundred times better than the last time."
Mrs. Zhen was stunned for a while and looked at Qin Liang's face carefully, "Have you had sex with many girls?"
Qin Liang said: "There are only two in total, and one of them is the wife I am marrying. I didn't touch that one last time, and she asked me to take her home. That would be troublesome."
Mrs. Zhen shook her head, "I don't believe it."
Qin Liang said seriously: "I almost never lie to others. Besides, I trust you. Why don't you trust me?"
Mrs. Zhen looked at Qin Liang's eyes carefully, her breathing gradually became heavy and her voice became very low: "Will you tell me?"
Qin Liang said: "Of course not, I have a good mouth."
Mrs. Zhen's smile completely disappeared, she seemed very nervous, and she asked in a low voice: "Who is the other one? You said there were two girls."
Qin Liang was silent for a moment and said seriously: "I can't talk about her in front of others. Of course I won't talk about Qing in front of others."
Zhen's voice was lower than a mosquito: "I have never done such a thing."
