Chapter 714 Suspicious Madness
Xue Huaian shook his head and said, "Actually, it's not a difficult thing. You'll know this sooner or later, but it's not revealed for the time being." After a pause, he leaned close to Chu Huan's ear and lowered his voice, "The King of Han is already crazy!"
Chu Huan didn't react for a moment and asked, "What?"
"The King of Han is crazy." Xue Huaian said softly: "That night, the King of Han, Huang Ju and others were captured by Xuanyuan Shao and suddenly fainted... Everyone thought he was just frightened, but after he woke up, he felt something was wrong...!"
Chu Huan was stunned and then realized that he had a brow locked up, "This... how is this possible?"
"Ma Zhongheng came that night to report the matter." Xue Huaian said: "I also find it incredible, but naturally I have to report to the Lord. When the Lord learned about this, he exclaimed the thunderous anger."
"Crazy?" Chu Huan leaned on the chair and felt incredible. Although Yingping participated in the rebellion, in Chu Huan's image, Yingping's jade tree was in the wind, with a noble temperament and outstanding style. Such a character suddenly went crazy, and Chu Huan always felt a little strange.
Seeing Chu Huan frowning, Xue Huaian seemed to be thinking, approached and asked in a low voice: "Does Brother Chu have any doubts?"
"Ah?" Chu Huan hurriedly said, "No. Just...!" After thinking about it, he didn't say anything.
Xue Huaian chuckled and said, "Does Brother Chu suspect that King Han is pretending to be crazy and stupid?"
"Pretending to be crazy?"
Xue Huai comforted his beard and said, "Sun Bin used this trick back then. He was in danger and pretended to be crazy and avoided the disaster." He smiled faintly, "Although the King of Han took the wrong path this time, he is an extremely smart person and may not be able to pretend to be crazy and stupid."
Chu Huan laughed and said, "It's not impossible. The King of Han is now in danger. If he is really crazy, the emperor may have a look at him."
Xue Huaian coughed twice and said softly: "I'm afraid there is another reason in the middle."
"What does brother mean?"
"I'm afraid that the King of Han is not pretending to be crazy, but is really crazy." Xue Huaian whispered: "This King of Han is not an ordinary person, and his literary talent and martial arts. If someone takes this opportunity to attack him..." He said this, but he didn't continue.
Chu Huan's eyes twitched twice and he whispered: "Do you think King Han was being driven crazy?"
Xue Huaian sighed, "This is unknown."
...
Su Niang led Mrs. Xue to the mansion for a while. She looked at Mrs. Xue from time to time and saw that Mrs. Xue was elegant and luxurious, and looked obviously bigger than her, but her skin seemed not inferior to her, and she felt very strange.
She saw Xue Huaian before, who was nearly fifty years old, and she felt that even if Mrs. Xue was not as old as Xue Huaian, she would not be too young. She just looked at Mrs. Xue's skin and seemed to be less than thirty years old. She felt a little strange. When Mrs. Xue saw Su Niang's appearance, she smiled and said, "Girl, where do you like to stroll around on weekdays?"
Su Niang smiled shyly and said, "Su Niang just arrived in the capital. She is not familiar with the capital and doesn't know where to go. She is always staying at home."
"That's not possible." Mrs. Xue held Su Niang's hand and smiled kindly: "What are the people in the world who want to come to the capital because they break their heads? Isn't it just to see the prosperity of the capital? You are in the capital now but don't turn around the capital. That's a lot of grievances." said: "There are many places to go to in this capital, including theaters, teahouses, and Qinyuan. There are many places for men to go to, and there are many places for women to go to. In our Luoan capital, there are many rivers and many cruise ships. It's better to go on a cruise together tomorrow than to be bored in the mansion."
Su Niang blinked her eyes and said strangely: "Cruise boat?"
Mrs. Xue smiled and said, "Yes. There are also rouge shops and jewelry shops. By the way, the silk shops are also indispensable." She took Su Niang's hand, looked at them, and said, "The girl is so handsome. If she dresses up carefully, she will definitely be an unparalleled beauty. At that time, Lord Chu will not even be willing to leave even her eyes."
Su Niang's face turned red, but the other party praised her handsomeness, but she still felt a little happy in her heart. Mrs. Xue is elegant and luxurious, which makes Su Niang feel admiration. When she hears her kindness and gentleness, she even feels good. At this time, she loses her nervousness and smiles: "When my wife has time, I will accompany her to make a walk."
Mrs. Xue nodded with a smile, then put her hand on her forehead and said, "I'm a little tired, girl, where is your residence? Let's go over and take a look!"
"Just in front." Su Niang said: "I will take my wife over."
The two of them came to the yard where Su Niang lived and entered the room. They saw Ru Lian sitting at the table, with one hand on her cheeks and reading a book. Mrs. Xue was stunned. Su Niang said, "Little sister, this is Mrs. Xue, come and see it." She said to Mrs. Xue again, "Madam, this is my little sister Ru Lian!"
"Ru Lian?" Mrs. Xue smiled and said, "This name is Qingya". She glanced at the book on the table and said, "So sister Ru Lian still likes reading?"
Ru Lian was a little nervous, got up and bowed to Mrs. Xue. Mrs. Xue had already walked to the table, glanced at her, and said strangely: "This seems to be a Buddhist scripture!"
Su Niang said, "My little sister likes to chant Buddha's name and chant scriptures. She hopes for peace at home."
Mrs. Xue said, "Actually, there is a Buddhist temple in my house. However, in our Daqin, we regard Taoism as the national religion, but not many believe in Buddhism." Looking at Ru Lian a few times, she smiled and said, "My sister Ru Lian likes Buddhism, but she is a fellow Taoist with me." She asked, "I wonder which Buddhist scripture is this?"
While Mrs. Xue spoke, she reached out to get the Buddhist scripture. Rulian was like a frightened little white rabbit. She grabbed the Buddhist scripture in her hand before Mrs. Xue. She was very suddenly. Mrs. Xue was stunned, and Su Niang was also a little surprised. Rulian held the Buddhist scripture in her arms. When she saw Mrs. Xue's surprised expression, she knew that she had lost her composure and hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, I... sorry..." She seemed very guilty.
Mrs. Xue instantly recovered and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's me that I'm rude."
Rulian waved her hand and said, "No...no..." She was so anxious that she was about to cry. When Su Niang saw her expression, she came over and hugged Rulian in her arms. She smiled at Mrs. Xue, "You little sister sees a few people, don't blame her."
Su Niang and Ru Lian are now in a deep relationship. She cares for Ru Lian very much. At this time, Ru Lian loses her composure in front of outsiders. However, seeing Ru Lian's anxious look as if she was about to cry, she still felt protective and did not blame Ru Lian for being rude.
Mrs. Xue is a person who has seen the world and doesn't care. She smiled and said, "Then the girl will take Rulian out for a walk from now on. As she sees more people, she will be more courageous."
Rulian lowered her head and finally raised her head and said, "This is...This is the "Sutra of No Self"!"
"The Sutra of No Self-Preface"?" Mrs. Xue was stunned, then shook her head and said, "I really haven't heard of this sutra."
Ru Lian seemed to be very uncomfortable with this kind of occasion and said to Su Niang: "Sister, I...I will go down first!" Without waiting for Su Niang to speak, she was already holding the scriptures and bowing her head and hurried out.
Mrs. Xue looked at Rulian's back and was very strange. Su Niang had already said, "Madam, this is my residence."
Mrs. Xue moved her steps and wandered around the room for a while. She reached out and touched the gauze tent, then looked at the screen and dressing table in the room, and whispered: "My girl is so frugal!"
Su Niang was stunned.
When buying the things in this house, I really spent a lot of money. In Su Niang's opinion, this was already a place of great wealth, but Mrs. Xue's words "frugality" immediately made Su Niang feel a little embarrassed.
Seeing Su Niang's expression, Mrs. Xue hurriedly apologized: "Sister, don't blame me for being straightforward."
Su Niang shook her head and said, "No." But she thought to herself, "You said that the frugality here means that the things in my house are not good? Are the things in your house very good?" But she felt quite unwilling.
Although Su Niang was born in a farm family and was simple and natural, she was a competitive girl. She was dependent on each other in Liujia Village. Although she had no male family, she forced herself to support her family and would not be underestimated by others. Now she followed Chu Huan and her life was far better than before. She was a woman who protected Chu Li in the past and later protected Ru Lian. Now, as Chu Huan's wife, she naturally also had her full strength to protect Chu Huan. She also knew that Chu Huan was in the capital, and men paid the most attention to face. The quality of her performance was directly related to Chu Huan's face. At this time, Mrs. Xue said that she was frugal here. If she said that her things were not good, she felt that it made Chu Huan lose face and felt a little unhappy.
Mrs. Xue pointed to the screen and said, "Girl, there is a screen made of fragrant wood in my house. The embroidery paintings on the screen are made by skilled craftsmen, and they will have a strange fragrance when placed in the room. If you don't dislike it, I will send it to you."
When Su Niang heard that the other party was going to give her something, she immediately smiled and said, "How can you be so embarrassed... Madam, can the screen you mentioned still smell?" She approached her screen, sniffed it slightly, shook her head and said, "I don't have this one."
Mrs. Xue smiled and said, "This screen is also very good, but it is not made of fragrant wood. The screen in my mansion has been a bit old, but it is a screen passed down by my ancestors." She also said, "This gauze tent has cloud tent in my mansion. As a gauze tent, I will send someone to send it to you..."
Su Niang had some objections to Mrs. Xue because of Mrs. Xue's words. At this time, she wanted to send a screen and a cloud sha. Her heart suddenly became warm and she felt very comfortable, but she smiled and said, "That's not good."
"What's wrong with it?" Mrs. Xue said deliberately unhappy, "Girl, you don't know. My master and Lord Chu went to Xiliang together. If Lord Chu was not helping him, he would not be able to come back so safely. They are friends of life and death, and you and me will be like sisters in the future."
"Madam is a godlike person, how dare Su Niang?" Compared to Madam Xue, Su Niang felt somewhat ashamed. After all, she was elegant and noble, and was born into a noble family. She was called sisters, but Su Niang was still a little nervous.
"What kind of lady is not a lady?" Mrs. Xue held Su Niang's hand, "I'll call me sister from now on."
Su Niang said, "Then... that lady is not sure how old is Su Niang older?"
"How old?" Mrs. Xue laughed and said, "Girl, I'm almost forty, I'm an old woman..."
Su Niang didn't believe it, and opened her eyes wide. Looking at Mrs. Xue's skin, she didn't look like a forty-year-old. Mrs. Xue naturally knew what Su Niang was thinking and smiled and said, "All of us women want to stay young forever, but time is like water, and inadvertently pass by. Although they were all as beautiful as flowers when they were young, they were as old as a flower, but over time, they became old and yellow. If the husband didn't dislike him, he was already Amitabha...!"
"But... but the lady doesn't look like a forty-year-old at all. She looks... she looks only thirty years old..." Su Niang said sincerely.
When Mrs. Xue heard this, she was a little happy and pulled Su Niang to sit down and said, "It's just a little maintenance when she's free. It's naturally impossible for this woman to stay young forever, but more maintenance can also delay aging. As the saying goes, women rely on the sky and seventy percent of maintenance. If you want to delay aging, you must pay attention to more maintenance."
