Chapter 55: A Woman's Mind
Feelings are the most unpredictable thing in the world.
Gu Yunniang's personality is cheerful and refreshing, and her daring love and hate, and her daring voice and anger are her marks. When she was in Zhao Ben's mansion, she could face the Xingyang County Magistrate who held the power of life and death, and she could not change her face and face her with anger.
Such a woman should be able to take it and let it go, but now, Gu Yunniang is very irritable. She felt uncomfortable for the first time when facing Mrs. Gongsun’s inquiry.
"Auntie, can you leave this matter to other sisters?" Gu Yunniang thought for a while, and finally made up her mind to refuse.
The north refers to the border army forces that have always been connected to Mudan Tower. Gu Yunniang had a good impression of this army that had survived under the protection of the Qin elites such as Prince Fusu and General Meng Tian, but now, her ideas have changed. The performance of the Qin border army led by Wang Li after heading south was extremely disappointing.
In the battle of the gang, the border army Su Jiaote, known as the most elite army of Qin, was defeated by Liu Bang's peasant army who had just pulled up the team and was carrying hoes and selling cloth a few months ago. After seeing that Zhao's land had a contribution, Wang Li could not wait to lead the army to capture Handan, completely disregarding the overall situation of rebellion. Now, the mere old place of Zhao State gathered Zhang Han and Wang Li's two major groups of more than 200,000 Qin troops, which was really a huge waste.
The former Qin border army that defeated the Huns and drove out foreign enemies disappeared, and the spirit of the soldiers was eroded in the constant struggle for power and profit. The current army is more of the private soldiers of the generals and a tool for Wang Li and others to seek more benefits.
"Yunniang, you know, although there are many people in this building, there are not many available. But I am the only one who can trust the aunt. The aunt has no choice. If it weren't for this face--." Aunt Gongsun was sobbing with grief, and a bit of sadness was soaked in his hoarse voice. The magic scarf covering his face also trembled because of excitement.
"Auntie--!" Gu Yunniang murmured, and the words of Mrs. Gongsun touched the deepest part of her heart. Which sister in Mudan Tower, is either a miserable life experience or an aunt in charge of Mrs. Gongsun.
Seven years ago, Aunt Gongsun's reputation in Xianyang was louder than that of any singer; Seven years later, who remembered who the owner of Mudan Tower in Xingyang City was? When Aunt Gongsun's face was disfigured by a evil boy named Ying Hu Hai when she was the redtest. Not only that, her voice was also hoarse. This is one of the reasons why she has been hiding behind the scenes and is unwilling to show up in public.
Now, the evil boy has become the emperor of Qin, and he still has bad habits. He only knows how to eat, drink, play and debauchery. Under the insistence of Gongsun Auntie, Gu Yunniang once again took over a task that was more difficult than before with Li Yuan. For her, whether the task itself is difficult or not is second to her. The key lies in her psychological resistance.
Before meeting Li Yuan, Gu Yunniang focused all her attention on the development of the Mudan Tower power. She was more of the spokesperson for Gongsun’s outside. After the Xingyang Incident, Gu Yunniang suddenly lost interest in the conspiracy and tricks of these forces, and she began to worry about gains and losses.
I don’t know when Gu Yunniang has changed, no longer has become popular, no longer has a cheerful personality, and has become strangers to those who come into contact with her.
Perhaps it is the reason why distance produces beauty.
After leaving Li Yuanjun, Gu Yunniang wanted to restore the previous feeling of being happy between various forces, but suddenly, she found that she could not go back.
There was a person in her heart, someone who made her hate and wanted her to think about it every day but didn't dare to see it.
"Li Daizi, will he like me like this?"
"Will he be too unfeminine, that's why he ignores me? Could it be that he likes the soft and weak princesses--."
In Gu Yunniang's heart, the little girl who was trapped in the vortex of love began to decline infinitely. She couldn't be brave enough to ask Li Yuan what she was thinking. In terms of feelings, even if a woman was a fierce woman, she hoped that the man would speak up first, rather than the woman who took the initiative to chase her. Of course, except for some women who were the best, Gu Yunniang obviously was not.
The Gu family can be regarded as a scholarly disciple, and the family rules are not bad. Gu Yunniang's temperament is more forced by the environment than being born.
In the north, Gu Yunniang knew that the one who had been in contact with Gongsun was a group of people from the border army, or rather, the generals in the border army.
"Just do it again, and after doing it, I will repay the favor of the aunt. At that time, no matter where the sea is, no matter where the world is, I will stand by you!" Gu Yunniang's pair of beard teeth bit her red lips tightly, with a hint of unwillingness and a little longing.
——.
Gu Yunniang was muttering carefully that Mr. Li has not been idle these days. After the coarse cloth banner on the top of the city was hung out, Li Yuan's reputation in Xingyang City suddenly became louder.
The role of a limerick and the strict regulatory laws of Qin made Li Yuan's random speech a topic that was passed down by word of mouth and pressure-free by the people of Xingyang. With fame, it is better to do things than to be unknown. Li Yuan doesn't care how this reputation is obtained. As long as someone recognizes it and comes to join, it will be a smile to greet you and wait for the banquet.
Li You Mansion.
Ying Yushu was as low-key as ever. After assisting Li Yuan in beating drums at the North Gate to help fight, she habitually hid herself.
Princess Daqin, this title sounds scary, but in fact, Ying Yushu knew that even if she walked to the front of the stage, she was just a puppet of those who were unpredictable.
After seeing Li Yuan, her heart was no longer so eager and anticipated.
"He probably forgot the little bit of care in the past, so he would just think of it as the most familiar stranger." Ying Yushu's heart was a little sour and a little painful, and he wanted to cry but couldn't cry.
"Your Highness Princess, Li Zhengwei outside is asking for a meeting!" Just as Ying Yushu was thinking about it, a slave ran in panic and said breathlessly.
"What's so panic? The mansion is full of Li, but there is no lieutenant?" Before Ying Yushu could speak, the maid Hongxiu, who was beside him, rebuked.
Hongxiu has been following Ying Yushu for six or seven years. Shortly after she married into the Li Mansion, Hongxiu was selected into the mansion and became Ying Yushu's personal girl. Hongxiu, who is good at observing his words and expressions, can always guess seven or eight points. These days, when talking about Li Yuan, Hongxiu is so angry that she is talking about it.
This man is not a thing.
