Invincible son

Chapter 79 079

Xingyefang, Guangping Houfu.

This place is not far from Duke Ding's Mansion, Pei Yue and Gu Fan rode slowly and arrived in less than a quarter of an hour.

After the two dismounted, the servant of the Hou Mansion who had been waiting for a long time stepped forward to take the reins.

Pei Yue looked up, and saw a plaque on the overhanging eaves gate, with the words "Guangping Houdi" inscribed on it. There were three main entrances, with gold-lacquered animal-faced tin rings.On both sides of the gate, there are a pair of Ruyi Drum Stones. The drum base is embossed with curly grass peony reliefs, and the drum surface is a five-lion guardrail pattern, showing the majesty of a wealthy family.

At this time, the main gate was wide open, and two rows of gates stood with hands hanging down.

Pei Yue's expression was astonished. After coming to this world for more than half a year, he already understood some basic rules. The scene in front of him was really shocking.The Duke's Mansion is very particular about etiquette, and only when the most distinguished guests arrive, the main entrance will be opened, otherwise they can only enter through the side door next to the main entrance.He is very clear about his current status, no matter from which angle he looks at it, he cannot afford this level of etiquette.

Seeing his expression, Gu Fan felt amused, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't think about it, I don't like those red tapes the most, but whenever someone he values ​​comes, the door will be opened at home. Less times. Let's go, my mother is waiting at home."

Pei Yue responded, feeling skeptical in his heart, although now he did not doubt Gu Liang's intentions, but this kindness was really sudden and inexplicable, making people puzzled.

The layout of Guangping Marquis Mansion is slightly different from that of Dingguo Mansion. The house is of brick and wood structure, and the overall layout is symmetrical along the central axis.After entering the main entrance, there is no rockery in front of you, but two wide inner flats on the left and right, and wing rooms on both sides.To the left is a large grassland, and to the right is a lotus pond. Although it is early autumn, the grassland is withered and yellow, and the flowers and branches are decaying, but this pattern is undoubtedly more open-minded.

There are weapon racks on the left and right inner flats, and a main road with bluestone ground in the middle leads directly to the two main houses adjacent to the front and back.

Gu Fan led Pei Yue into the main house, and sighed: "My house is not as elegant and beautiful as the Duke's Mansion, with a deep courtyard."

Pei Yue shook his head and said, "I think this kind of house is more comfortable to live in. But, why do you suddenly start to be polite? Don't tell me, you are always like this at home."

Gu Fan scolded with a smile: "Fart! It's not my father who said, be more careful when you are with you, don't scare you with that quack air. Hey, I can't figure it out. The young master is a genius with extraordinary talent. You are amazingly talented, how can you not compare to you? My old man is too lazy to look at me."

Pei Yue gave him a thumbs up and praised: "It seems that I have indeed read a lot of books recently."

Gu Fan curled his lips: "It doesn't sound like a good word."

Pei Yue smiled and said, "You actually discovered it."

While the two were talking and laughing, they came to the main hall. A middle-aged woman with a gentle complexion sat on the main seat, looking at them with a smile, and a few maidservants stood beside them holding their breath.

Pei Yue stepped forward and saluted, "Pei Yue has seen Auntie."

Guliang's wife, Mrs. Zhao, quickly raised her hand and smiled, "Brother, you don't need to be polite. Your Uncle Gu sent someone back early to report that you would come to the mansion as a guest later, and let Zhen'er and I cook in person. I want to drink a few cups with you for some special dishes. Brother, sit down and talk, and taste the excellent tea that you, Uncle Gu, ordered someone to prepare."

Pei Yue pleaded guilty, then sat down, and said anxiously: "Uncle Gu's kind heart, the younger generation is very grateful, but how dare Auntie and Sister Gu cook for me?"

He doesn't resist other people's enthusiasm for him. After all, no one likes to be looked at by others all day long, but the problem is that this enthusiasm is a bit too much, which is a bit unbearable.When Mr. Xi was studying how to guard against bandits, he himself denied the way to seek help from Gu Liang, just because he was worried that he would not be able to return the favor in the future.Now, although it is confirmed that Gu Liang has no malicious intentions, it is still a bit exaggerated to achieve this level.No matter how close his nephew is, it would be a great honor for Mrs. Zhao to cook, why would Gu Zhen need to prepare a plate of dishes?Although this era is not very friendly to women, cooking has never been a skill that needs to be mastered for the ladies of the Duke's Mansion.

What's more, if he remembers correctly, Gu Zhen is younger than Pei Ning, she looks weak, can she really handle those pots and pans in the kitchen?After all, I've seen it in Green Willow Manor before, Pei Yue really can't imagine what it's like to see Gu Zhen holding the stove with her left hand and holding a spatula in her right.

Mrs. Zhao said kindly: "Don't worry too much. Our family is different from other honorable mansions. We don't pay much attention to etiquette, but we are afraid that we will make you laugh if we tell it. Usually, when your Uncle Gu's old stories come, I will also cook. When cooking a few dishes, Zhen'er is more filial than her older brothers, and although she has never actually done it, she will help me with some chores."

Pei Yue praised: "Uncle is unparalleled in martial arts, and auntie manages the family well. Although she is a noble family, she has no such troubles. In the eyes of the younger generation, she is much better than those who blindly abide by etiquette and rules."

Mrs. Zhao smiled happily and said, "No wonder your Uncle Gu praised you for being well-educated. You are indeed much more sensible than my Fan'er. It's a pity that his three older brothers are not in the capital, otherwise you and them would be able to chat together."

Pei Yue slightly enviously said: "I heard from Brother Gu that the three elder brothers are all leading troops in the army, and they will surely have a great future in the future. It may not be impossible to have a family of four nobles."

This sentence made Mrs. Zhao very happy, and said with a smile on her face: "I don't expect them to be appointed as marquises or ministers, as long as they can be safe and sound."

Sitting next to him, Gu Fan gasped, and looked sideways at Pei Yue: Good guy, do you really dare to say it just to flatter you, a four-ranked one?Go ask Wang Pingzhang, does he dare to ask his sons and grandsons for so many titles?Believe it or not, the emperor will send people to search the house tomorrow after rewarding him with a title today?Moreover, my father is already the Marquis of Guangping, and I have three elder brothers above me. What do you mean by being a four-ranked prince?
Pei Yue could only give him an apologetic look: I'm sorry, I forgot about you.

Gu Fan lip-synced to him: Your uncle!

Pei Yue replied innocently and silently: My uncle is your father.

Gu Fan wished he could give him a set of Gu Changquan on the spot.

Seeing the eye contact between the two, Mrs. Zhao smiled more and more gently on her face, but her eyes still stayed on Pei Yue most of the time.

I haven't seen him for half a year, but the boy's stature is much taller, and his body seems to have become stronger. Compared with before, he seems to be a different person.Although the calmness of his body has not changed, his demeanor is much more condensed and steady, and he looks more mature than Gu Fan, who is three years older than him next to him.She knew that her fourth child was a little out of character and couldn't reason normally, but seeing Pei Yue's better and better changes, she finally felt a little more comfortable.

Gu Fan said half a year ago that if Gu Zhen didn't object, she could let the two children get in touch with each other. Anyway, they are still young, so there is no need to worry about getting married.It's just that Mrs. Zhao also thought that the husband's intention should be to settle the marriage at the right time, and wait for them to grow up in a few years before doing it.

At first, Mrs. Zhao was reluctant, and it had nothing to do with Pei Yue's background. She just felt that the child was too thin and weak, and it really didn't seem like a long life.Gu Zhen is her only daughter, a mother would not want her daughter to become a widow early.Seeing him now, Pei Yue's change shows that he has no congenital deficiencies. The previous appearance was just that he was severely abused in Dingguo's mansion, so it will be fine to raise him.

Now that it can be raised well, Mrs. Zhao doesn't have to worry about it. The Wu Xun General's family is best at polishing and conditioning the body.

This worry is gone, the next thing is to look at Gu Zhen's own attitude, although Gu Fan took her to the Green Willow Manor before, and after returning, the Zhao family made side attacks, but the girl didn't show the slightest hint, neither did she express her love for Pei Yue Appreciation, and no obvious resistance.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Zhao said to Gu Fan: "Fan Er, take your brother around the mansion. I have to go to the kitchen. I can't ask the servants to simmer your father's favorite pheasant bird's nest soup." gone."

Then he said to Pei Yue: "Brother Yue, treat this place as your own home, don't be restrained, just feel at ease."

Pei Yue got up and said: "The junior understands, thank you, Auntie."

Gu Fan led him out of the main hall, passed by the inner courtyard on the right, and then passed through the corridor next to the wing room. The scenery in front of him suddenly opened up, and not far away was the lotus pond.

Walking along the gravel path by the pool, Pei Yue discovered that although the layout of the Guangping Marquis Mansion seemed simple, it occupied a large area, and it felt that it was comparable to the Dingguo Mansion.Behind the adjacent two-entry main house are three rows of courtyards, and behind it is a back hill, but the slope is extremely gentle, and it is more appropriate to describe it as a green hill.

Pei Yue only knew that the rich mansion had a back garden, and this was the first time he had seen such a luxurious scene.

This is the capital where every inch of land is expensive, not an uninhabited wilderness.Although the area of ​​Qingqiu is not particularly large, Pei Yue was still shocked by appearing in a Marquis' mansion.

Gu Fan seemed to be used to this kind of reaction from the guests, he said in a low voice: "Actually, my family didn't live here before, when His Majesty promoted my old man to be the commander of the South Camp of Nanjing Town eight years ago, he also gave this house as a reward. I heard that this used to be a palace of the king, more grand than yours, I am naturally not used to it, sent someone to ask His Majesty for instructions, and then it was completely demolished and rebuilt, and it looks like it is now."

Pei Yue couldn't help but praise a few times, and at the same time had a clearer understanding of Gu Liang's weight in the emperor's heart.

After walking for a while, they came to Qingqiu and saw a chess pavilion built on the highest point in the northeast.

Gu Fan led Pei Yue to the outside of the pavilion, looked at the weak girl in the pavilion who had stood up to greet her, and said with some surprise: "Little sister, what a coincidence, you are here too."

Accompanied by two maids, Gu Zhen walked out of the chess pavilion, bowed to the two of them one by one, and then said softly, "It's really a coincidence."

Pei Yue looked at the pair of brothers and sisters speechlessly, wondering if I look like a mentally retarded person?Why such a lame opening line?
While complaining in his heart, he still clasped his hands to Gu Zhen honestly and said, "I met Gu's sister."

The autumn wind is very cool, and the atmosphere is a little awkward.
