In the afternoon, Qin Liang came to Guo Mansion again and had dinner here.
Everyone ate in the attic hall of the inner house, each with a small wooden table and a banquet table, and the meals were separate. Therefore, the dishes served to the guests included meat, but Wang, his son and daughter-in-law only ate vegetarian meals.
Qin Liang finished his meal and left the Guo Mansion without staying for a while. Wang and others saw off the guests, and it was still dark. The sun had set and the light gradually dimmed, but there was still sunset glow in the west.
The family returned to the attic of the inner house. After a while, the eldest son Guo Tong left with his wife and asked his mother to rest early. The children also returned to their homes one after another.
Mrs. Wang was left alone in the hall. The place that had been lively just now suddenly became deserted. She suddenly felt empty in her heart.
When Guo Huai was alive, the Wang family often didn't see his people, and it seemed no different. In the past, even Guo Huai's concubines were rarely seen, but now those concubines come to greet them every day, for fear that their mistress will take care of them.
They drove away.
In fact, Wang knew that she was just deliberately avoiding a certain thought. That was that Qin Liang had just come and now left again.
Some things are just like this. If you don't think about it and don't think about it, you won't feel so uncomfortable. Just like Wang and Guo Huai haven't had sex for many years, she was used to it before; until Qin Liang had sex in Chang'an last time
Only after ridiculous things happened would she find the time difficult.
Ms. Wang sighed to herself. It was too early to go back to her room to rest, so she walked up the stairs as a habit.
As soon as she walked up to the attic, she subconsciously glanced sideways and glanced into the open wooden door next to her. She immediately saw faint nail scratches on the edge of the wooden cabinet.
Several years have passed, and no one has moved such heavy furniture, which has become covered with dust again, and no one has noticed the traces, which have remained there.
In Wang's eyes, she seemed to see herself on the wooden cabinet instead of an empty cabinet. Some images appeared in her mind from time to time like pieces of painted cloth. She stared blankly at the patterns on the wood.
There were tiny scratches, and I even seemed to hear the sound of fingernails. The sound was still fresh in my memory, and it sounded disturbing and uncomfortable.
"Huh..." Ms. Wang let out a long breath and felt uncomfortable all over. She seemed to have lost her patience and interest in everything.
After a while, she suddenly remembered something and couldn't help but mutter to herself: "I shouldn't think about those things."
When she came to her senses, she hurriedly looked up and looked around, only to see that there was no one nearby. The maid in the hall below had already gone out after clearing the desk.
Wang's heart was still uneasy. When Guo Huai was alive, Wang was not too afraid of him, but was a little worried about being discovered by him. Moreover, Guo Huai had never had any doubts and was very relieved about Wang. But unexpectedly, he passed away. She
Instead, I felt a little scared.
After all, living people don't have magic, and their abilities can be predicted; ghosts' abilities are unpredictable, and they seem to be everywhere.
Mrs. Wang said silently in her heart: Don't blame me. It's not me who seduced him. He forced me to do that the first time. How could I dare to speak out?
Wang thought about it, and it was also her fault that Guo Boji failed to rescue him in time during the Battle of Shu, causing Qin Liang to almost die in Qinchuan. She felt resentful and resentful, so she used that method to retaliate against Guo Boji.
Although Qin Liang later explained that his aunt was too beautiful and he made the mistake because he couldn't help it, Wang knew in her heart that Qin Liang wanted to take revenge on Guo Huai at first.
Mrs. Wang stood at the top of the stairs for a while. She originally wanted to spend some time in the attic, but looking at the cabinets in the next room and the position in front of the window in the attic, she finally couldn't stay here calmly, so she turned around again
Go down the stairs.
She didn't sleep well all night, and she was so tired that she fell asleep in the early morning. She knew that she couldn't even think about it, and just thinking about it was wrong. She spent all her energy to restrain her inner demons, so she didn't do anything, and she felt very sad.
tired.
In the next few days, Wang was also absent-minded in everything she did and felt a little irritable. No matter whether she was standing or sitting, she felt flustered and uncomfortable after a while.
A few days later, Mrs. Wang was really bored at home, so she asked her daughter-in-law to go to another courtyard to catch some chickens she had raised before, and also took out some bacon that had been stored in the ice cellar at the end of last year. She then packed two sets of bedding.
Wrap it yourself.
Guo Tong entered the house and found his mother doing something. Seeing that she was about to go out, he asked: "Where are you going?" While Wang was busy, he said in a casual tone: "We have already lived here.
For many years, I have been considered a landlord. Although spring has begun, it is still quite cold at night. Qin Zhongming came to work in the fields, and he was surrounded by officials and soldiers. Don't get sick in Guanzhong, and we felt sorry. I was just thinking of sending some quilts to Wugong County. I wanted to take a look at them.
Look, Qin Zhongming still lacks something."
Guo Tong pondered for a moment and said, "I will go with my mother."
Wang glanced at him and knew that he had no suspicion, and probably just wanted to establish a relationship with Qin Liang. Although the Guo family was a wealthy family, Guo Boji had passed away, and Guo Tong had no prestige and credit, so he wanted to maintain the Guo family's reputation among the gentry.
For status, he has to rely more or less on himself.
Wang and Qin Liang were two generations apart. Even Guo Boji had no doubt before, and others could not even dream of it.
However, Wang did not lie to her son just now. She really just wanted to visit Qin Liang. The time was not right and she was not willing to do anything. Qin Liang finally came to Guanzhong and stayed for a day and met twice.
Tian was gone, and Wang really wanted to talk to him again.
She then said in a deep voice: "Only women can go there. How can a man do such a thing to make a good impression on others?"
Guo Tong suddenly realized: "My mother is more thoughtful." He looked at the things placed beside him and said, "These bacon and the like are not worth anything."
Wang said: "We are relatives. What valuable things does Qin Zhongming want? Useful things and care are important."
Guo Tong nodded and said, "That's what happened."
Mrs. Wang said calmly: "The Wang family, the Qin family, and the Linghu family are all relatives, and your uncle's family is naturally the closest. However, the Qin family treats us better than the Linghu family. Your Majesty has also written several letters to me.
I also asked for help."
So Guo Tong sent a team of troops to escort Wang. Wang told him not to worry, so he set off with two maids and several followers.
Wugong County is also located in the Guanzhong Plain, less than a hundred miles away from Chang'an; you can leave early in the morning and arrive very early in the afternoon.
And there is indeed no danger. The Shu army has attacked Guanzhong before, but has not been there for many years. What's more, Wugong County is still on the north bank of the Wei River. Even Zhuge Kongming had never been to that place back then.
