Daming: Mixed in Dangzhi County, Beiping

Chapter 123 Guo An Returns to His Hometown
at the same time.

In the inner courtyard of Yanwang Palace.

After listening to Zhu Di's words, Xu Miaoyun's eyes flashed a strange look, and said, "Your Highness, what was your reaction? Is there any excuse?"

Zhu Di said: "Hey, Guo Qing didn't even say a word of excuses, but she was full of excitement, thank you again and again!"

The corners of Xu Miaoyun's mouth rose slightly, "This Guo Changshi is really a wonderful person!"

"What a wonderful person, he is obviously a thief official who is greedy for those good things in our house!"

Although he was cursing, Zhu Di's face was full of complacency.

Xu Miaoyun didn't continue to ask, but thought for a while, and said: "Your Highness, the Liu family is also a big family, and they don't like ordinary things, and there is no shortage of luxury and precious things in Ming Dynasty.

How about picking a few larger branches of Korean ginseng, two-knife Korean tribute paper, and some ivory, rhinoceros horn, glazed vessels, coral, gemstones, etc. from the treasury?In addition, bring some sea fish to Guo Changshi. "

"Very good, bring these items to Guo Qing..."

The next day.

Guo An went straight to the Palace of King Yan in a carriage.

At the gate of the palace, there were already two carriages waiting.

Beside the carriage, Li Wang led more than a dozen soldiers in plain clothes with steel knives on their waists as guards.

"Li Baihu, what is this?" Guo An asked in surprise.

"His Royal Highness is worried that Guo Changshi will inevitably attract some unsuspecting thieves along the way with so many items.

Therefore, Guo Changshi was specially ordered to guard Guo Changshi all the way. "Li Wang explained.

Guo An was overjoyed, and hurriedly bowed towards the palace gate.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your kindness."

Then, he cupped his hands towards Li Wang again, "Thank you, Li Baihu and all the brothers!"

"What is Guo Changshi talking about? It's our fight to protect Guo Changshi when he travels!"

Li Wang said quickly.

……

Beiping Mansion is more than 800 miles away from Shunde Mansion.

Guo An and his party set off from Beiping Mansion, passed Baoding Mansion, Zhending Mansion all the way, and then entered Shunde Mansion.

Along the way, I really encountered some robbery.

However, it was all small fights, and they were directly slaughtered by Li Wang and others without any effort.

After walking for eight days, Guo An returned to Guojia Village, Shunde Prefecture.

Guojia Village is said to be a village, but in fact, under the gathering of the Guo family, it has become a large village with a population of hundreds of households.

And the Guo family is the real talker in Guojia Village.

Every year, the chief of the armor and the chief of the village are basically determined by the Guo family.

There are quite a few villages like Guojia Village in Daming.

However, some big households in the village were too presumptuous, and Lao Zhu sent people to clean them up.

Some big households in the villages are law-abiding, and they are often willing to do good things. When they are raised in the countryside, no one comes to provoke them.

Just like the Guo family.

The Guo family has lived in Guojia Village for hundreds of years, and the old house has been refurbished many times. By the generation of Guo’s father, the Guo family’s house has occupied an area of ​​more than 20 mu. As for the houses, there are dozens of them, and servants There are also dozens of people, a proper little overlord in the countryside.

"Master is back!"

As soon as Guo An and his party entered the village entrance, someone greeted them.

When Guo An arrived at the door, the door was already wide open. Guo's father, Guo's mother, and a half-grown boy, Guo An's second brother, Guo Gui.

When relatives meet, they should hug each other and cry, which is extremely touching.

However, when he arrived at Guo An's place, Guo An was a little embarrassed, not knowing how to deal with the blood relatives of this family.

However, fortunately, there are still a group of soldiers such as Li Wang who can use it to change the subject.

After hearing that Li Wang turned out to be guarding hundreds of households in the Prince Yan's Mansion, Father Guo hurriedly made some polite remarks, and then ordered his servants to arrange guest rooms for Li Wang and the others.

Then, they all looked curiously at the objects that King Yan brought back to Guo An.

Then, there was another burst of praise.

On the second day after Guo An came back, a large number of people came to visit, including gentry, wealthy businessmen, and some small officials in Shunde Mansion.

For these people, Guo An talked politely, and as for the gifts from these people, he handed them over to Father Guo to take care of them.

Day three.

Under the leadership of Guo's father, Guo An and his group went to the Liu family mansion in Shunde Prefecture.

Even if they live in the prefectural city of Shunde Mansion, the house of the Liu family is many times larger than that of the Guo family.

At the gate of Liu's family, Guo An, led by his father, visited Liu's elders one by one.

"Little nephew Guo An Guo Ningyi met Uncle Liu, Aunt Liu, met..."

"Hahaha, Ning Yi is really a good-looking talent, a young hero!"

Liu Huiyuan was still very satisfied with Guo An's appearance.

In fact, the appearance of the members of the old Guo family is still of the type of delicate and good-natured, giving people an extremely good impression at first glance.

While everyone was exchanging greetings, Guo Lin, an old servant of the Guo family, had already brought a group of Guo family servants, and moved the gifts brought back by Guo An to the carriage one by one.

"Please don't be offended by my uncle. When my nephew came to the house for the first time, I didn't know what my uncle and aunt liked, so I brought some Korean ginseng, Korean tribute paper, ivory, rhino horn, glass vessels, coral, precious stones... In addition, there are a few Sea fish, give uncles, aunts and others a taste!"

"Korea tribute paper, coral, gemstones..."

Liu Huiyuan is also a person who knows the goods, and when he heard the names of these prices, he immediately showed shock.

"Ning Yi, if the old man is not mistaken, these objects are all tributes from Fanbang!"

"Uncle Liu has good eyesight. These are the items that His Highness King Yan deliberately took out from the treasury when he learned that his nephew had returned home."

Guo An explained.

"His Royal Highness King Yan actually values ​​Ning Yi so much!" Liu Huiyuan's eyes flashed with amazement.

"My little nephew has won the love of His Royal Highness King Yan for nothing, I am extremely ashamed!"

Guo An said with some embarrassment and humility.

Hearing this, the corners of Liu Huiyuan's mouth twitched slightly, "Ning Yi is too modest. Now that I am a few prefectures in the north of Ming Dynasty, who doesn't know that Guo An, Guo Ningyi, the right chief of Yanwang's mansion in Beiping?"

As he said that, Liu Huiyuan seemed to think of something, so he turned to Guo An and said, "Has Ning Yi not met Bai Wei yet?"

Immediately, without waiting for Guo An to speak, he directed to the butler at the side and said, "Uncle Fu, take Ning Yi to the back house."

"Yes, sir!"

Uncle Fu, the housekeeper of Liu's house, responded, and quickly said to Guo An: "Master Guo, this way please."

Guo An got up and gave it.

"Master Guo, please come inside!"

However, what Guo An didn't expect was that after the Uncle Fu took him into a garden, he disappeared without a trace.

Guo An raised his head and looked around, but couldn't find it.

He could only sigh helplessly and walked towards the inside.

Ok?
Suddenly, Guo An stopped and subconsciously looked towards the pavilion not far ahead.

A beautiful figure was sitting in the gazebo, holding an ancient book in her hand, and seemed to be reading it seriously, but according to Guo An's years of experience in reading books, the beautiful figure in the gazebo was not paying attention at all.

But waiting for someone.

Guo An took a deep breath and walked in slowly.

"I'm Guo An Guo Ningyi."

After Lang Sheng introduced himself, Guo An sat on the stool beside him, picked up the melons and fruits beside him, and ate them.

After wandering around Liu's residence for so long, he was really thirsty.

And as Guo An sat down, the beautiful figure finally raised her head, and her pair of beautiful eyes also looked at Guo An.

"The folk girl Liu Baiwei met Guo Changshi!"

Guo An was stunned subconsciously, and his fiancée was three points more beautiful than the portrait.

"Liu's sister is indeed waiting for us."

“How come you see?”

"If it wasn't for waiting for us, why did the sisters of the Liu family call us Guo Changshi as soon as they saw us?"

"Today, only Uncle Guo brought Elder Guo to the mansion, and about Elder Guo admonishing King Yan to send people to go fishing in the sea, I am afraid that everyone in the whole Shunde Mansion knows about it. .

Naturally, Bai Wei also knew that the elder brother of the Guo family, who had met once when she was a child, had already made such a great achievement now! "

"I see!"

Guo An nodded slightly, and then said with emotion: "Yes, the world is unpredictable, who would have thought of the slug in childhood..."

Before he finished speaking, Guo An quickly shut up.

However, the delicate face in front of her turned red immediately, like a steamed crayfish!

Guo An wanted to give himself a slap, and quickly explained with a smile: "Sister Liu, don't blame me, Ning Yi somehow speaks a little fast today..."

"No, it's not..."

Guo An found that the more he talked, the more unclear he became.

Seeing Guo An's appearance, Qianying on the opposite side gave Guo An a look of shame and annoyance, picked up the book in her hand, and ran out.

When Guo An came back to his senses, there was no one in the gazebo.

In addition to the faint lingering fragrance in the air, it was like a dream.

……

afternoon.

On the way back, Father Guo asked directly in the carriage: "Ning Yi, how do you feel about the second daughter of the Liu family today?"

"Very good!"

Guo An said directly.

"Very good!"

Father Guo raised his beard in excitement, and said, "I will go to brother Liu to discuss the marriage tomorrow!"

"Father, be reserved!"

Guo An said quickly.

Father Guo glared at Guo An directly, and Guo An quickly explained: "We have to give the Liu family a chance to react!"

"Hmph, what's your reaction? Why didn't they hold back when they accepted the gift you brought today?" Father Guo said.

Guo An: "..."

at the same time.

The same scene happened in Liu's Mansion, but the atmosphere in Liu's Mansion was much more relaxed than the atmosphere in Guo An's carriage.

On the second day, Father Guo still did not go to Liu's residence.

Because Guo An was leaving.

Zhu Di only gave Guo An a 20-day leave.

Now, Guo An has used it for twelve days.

The remaining eight days were just spent on the return journey.

It's just that the sky doesn't follow people's wishes.

Just as Guo An and the others entered Zhending Mansion, they encountered heavy rain.

After finally waiting for the rain to clear up, when we arrived at Baoding Mansion, there was another heavy rain.

In this way, by the time Guo An returned to Beiping Mansion, it had been over four days.

The second day back to Beiping Mansion.

Guo An came to Yanwang Palace to meet Zhu Di.

The first thing Zhu Di said surprised Guo An, "What Guo Qing said is indeed true, these days, Zhu Liang led people to arrest three waves of thieves who spied on the Iron Smelting Institute directly near the Iron Smelting Institute. "

"Your Highness, can you find out who sent it?" Guo An asked quickly.

Zhu Di said coldly: "Hmph, after those thieves were blocked by Zhu Liang, they either ran out desperately, or committed suicide!"

"Someone actually dared to pull His Highness's tiger whiskers!"

Guo An exclaimed, and then asked again: "Your Highness, I don't know what good strategy Master Yan has?"

"After three waves of failure, the thief will retreat!"

Zhu Di said bitterly.

"It's good to go back!"

Guo An felt relieved, and asked again: "Your Highness, I wonder if there are thieves spying on the wool washing factory at Dagukou?"

Zhu Di said: "It's just some wool, who would waste such a big effort to spy?"

"Too!"
