Chapter 55: A Woman's Mind
Feelings are the most elusive things in the world.
Gu Yunniang has a bright and cheerful personality, daring to love, hate, speak out and be angry. That time in Zhao Ben's house, when facing the Xingyang County Lieutenant who had the power of life and death, she could remain calm and show off her anger.
Swords facing each other.
Such a woman should be able to take things up and put them down, but now, Gu Yunniang was very irritable. Facing Aunt Gongsun's inquiry, she felt uncomfortable for the first time.
"Auntie, can you leave this matter to other sisters?" Gu Yunniang thought for a while and finally made up her mind to refuse this once.
The north refers to the frontier forces that have always been connected with Mudanlou. Gu Yunniang used to have a good impression of this army that had survived under the protection of the elites of the Qin State such as Prince Fusu and General Meng Tian. But now, her thoughts
Changed. The performance of the Qin border army led by Wang Li after going south was extremely disappointing.
In the Battle of Gangli, Su Jiaobu, the frontier army known as the most elite army of the Qin State, was actually defeated by Liu Bang's peasant army who had just formed a team and was still carrying hoes and selling cloth a few months ago.
After taking the credit, Wang Li led the army to capture Handan without hesitation, completely ignoring the overall situation of suppressing the rebellion. Now, more than 200,000 Qin troops from Zhang Han and Wang Li have gathered in the hometown of Zhao State. This is really
It's a huge waste.
The former Qin border army that defeated the Xiongnu and expelled the foreign barbarians has disappeared. The soldiers' vigor has been worn away in the constant struggle for power. The current army is more of the generals' private soldiers, and it was Wang Li and the others who sought to gain power.
Tools for more benefits.
"Mother Yun, you know that although there are many people in this building, there are only a few available. And the only one I can trust, aunt, is you. There is nothing I can do about it. If it weren't for this face -" Gongsun
The aunt was crying pitifully, her hoarse voice was filled with a bit of sadness, and the scarf covering her face began to tremble with excitement.
"Aunt——!" Gu Yunniang murmured. Aunt Gongsun's words touched the deepest part of her heart. Among the sisters in Peony House, none of them had a miserable life experience, even the one in charge, Gongsun, was the same.
Seven years ago, Aunt Gongsun's reputation in Xianyang was louder than that of any singer; seven years later, who would remember who the owner of the Peony House in Xingyang City was? When Aunt Gongsun's face was at its reddest, someone called her
The evil boy who won over Hu Hai was disfigured. Not only that, her voice was also muted by the poison. This is one of the reasons why she has been hiding behind the scenes and unwilling to show her face.
Now, that evil boy has become the emperor of Qin, but he still has not changed his bad habits. He only knows how to eat, drink, have fun, and indulge in government affairs. At the insistence of Aunt Gongsun, Gu Yunniang once again took over a more difficult task than her previous contact with Li Yuan. This
For her, whether the task itself is difficult or not is secondary, the key lies in her psychological resistance.
Before meeting Li Yuan, Gu Yunniang’s entire mind was focused on the development of the forces of Peony House. She was more of Aunt Gongsun’s spokesperson outside. After the Xingyang Incident, Gu Yunniang was deeply concerned about the conspiracies and machinations of these forces.
Suddenly she lost interest and began to worry about gains and losses.
I don’t know since when, Gu Yunniang changed. She no longer had a lively personality, no longer had a cheerful personality, and she became a stranger to those who came into contact with her.
Maybe it’s the distance that creates beauty.
After breaking away from Li Yuanjun, Gu Yunniang wanted to return to her previous sense of freedom of intervening among various forces, but suddenly, she found that she could not go back.
There is a person in her heart, a person that she hates and wants to miss every day but dare not see.
"Zi Li, will he like me like this?"
"Is it too unfeminine, that's why he keeps ignoring me? Could it be that he likes someone as soft and weak as the eldest princess——."
Gu Yunniang's heart was in a state of confusion. Her intelligence began to decline as she was caught in the emotional whirlpool. She couldn't muster up the courage to ask Li Yuan what he was thinking. In terms of feelings, even if she met a more aggressive woman, she would still be in trouble.
I hope it is the man who brings it up first, rather than the woman taking the initiative to pursue it. Of course, except for a few top-notch women, and Gu Yunniang is obviously not.
The Gu family can be considered a scholarly family, and the family rules are not bad. Gu Yunniang's temperament is not so much innate as it is forced by the environment.
In the north, Gu Yunniang knew that those who had been in contact with Aunt Gongsun were a group of people from the border army, or more specifically, the generals in the border army.
"Just do it one more time. Once you've done it, you'll be able to repay your kindness. When the time comes, no matter where you are, no matter where you are, I will always stand by your side!" Gu Yunniang bit her red lips tightly with her pair of white teeth.
With a hint of reluctance and a bit of longing.
——.
Mr. Li, whom Gu Yunniang was talking about in detail, has not been idle these days. After the coarse cloth flag at the top of the city was hung up, Li Yuan's reputation in Xingyang City suddenly became louder.
The role of a limerick, coupled with the strict control laws of the Qin State, made Li Yuan's casual tune a topic that was passed down word-of-mouth and stressed by the people of Xingyang. With fame, it is easier to do things than in silence, Li Yuan
It doesn’t matter how you got this reputation, as long as someone recognizes you and comes to join you, you will be greeted with a smile and waiting for you.
Li Youfu.
Ying Yushu kept a low profile as always. After assisting Li Yuan in playing drums at the North Gate, she habitually hid herself.
The title of the eldest princess of the Qin Dynasty sounds scary, but in fact, Ying Yushu knows that even if she comes to the stage, she is just a puppet of those with unpredictable intentions.
After meeting Li Yuan, her heart was no longer so eager and expectant.
"I guess he has long forgotten the little caring friendship in the past. It's okay to just treat him like the most familiar stranger." Ying Yu washed his heart, feeling a little sour and a little painful.
, I want to cry but I can’t.
"Your Highness Princess, Lieutenant Li is outside asking to see you!" Just as Ying Yushu was thinking wildly, a slave ran in in a panic, panting.
"Why are you panicking? There are people with the surname Li in this house, but there are no school captains?" Before Ying Yushu could say anything, Hongxiu, the maid next to him, opened his mouth to reprimand.
Hongxiu has been following Ying Yushu for six or seven years. Not long after she married into the Li family, Hongxiu was elected into the family and became Ying Yushu's personal maid. Hongxiu, who was good at observing her master's thoughts, could always guess.
By seven or eight points. These days, Hong Xiu hates Li Yuan with itch.
This man is not a thing.
He always stirs up other people's thoughts, but pretends not to know anything. Is it possible that it is so difficult to come to visit him once? Now, Li Yuan is finally here, and of course Hong Xiu is not polite to give away the resentment he has accumulated for many days.
