Chapter 276
Guo Yu got out of the car and stood still in front of Liang's house. A servant in blue came out, only took one look at him and then smiled.

"Mr. Guo is here."

Guo Yu nodded politely, and naturally stuffed the consistent money into the servant's hands. "Is Mrs. Liang at home?"

The servant weighed it lightly, and smiled even more attentively. "Yes, yes. Guo Jun, please wait a moment, I will tell Madam right away." After speaking, he cupped his hands, stuffed the money into his arms, and walked quickly to the inner courtyard.

Guo Yu crossed his hands and waited in front of the door, feeling happy.He was lucky. Relying on Liang Xiao's relationship, he successfully settled in Maoling, and also got in touch with Zheng Shi, the right internal historian, and became the seat of Maoling.Although the Maoling Mausoleum was just built, the emperor moved in a lot of powerful people with strong financial resources. The supply of luxury goods he brought back from the Western Regions was in short supply, and he made a fortune.

Today, he came to Liang's house to thank him, and also to inquire about Liang Xiao's news.His son Guo Wenbin was still by Liang Xiao's side, and there was no news from him. He was very worried.

Soon, a servant in Tsing Yi came out and welcomed Guo Yu into the atrium.Guo Yu sat down for a long time, and Liang Yu came out.The two said some kind words, Liang asked about Guo Yu's recent situation, Guo Yu thanked him again and again, and offered him a generous gift.

Seeing those heavy boxes, Mrs. Liang hurriedly said: "Guo Jun, you are too polite. The Liang family owes you a favor for helping my son go west, and it is right to help. How can you be so respectful. You have just settled down, and there are a lot of places to take care of, so let's keep it for yourself first."

Guo Yu smiled and said, "Thank you Madam for your concern. However, with Mr. Zheng taking care of me, I have settled down properly, which not only saves time, but also saves a lot of money. Maoling is a good place. There are many rich people and good business. I also made a fortune by doing it. These things are not worth anything, just a little token of my heart."

Liang Yu refused repeatedly, but Guo Yu just refused to take it back.Liang Yu had no choice but to accept it.She also knew that many rich people had moved to Maoling recently, and they were all big and powerful families from various counties.These people are rich, and they are the best customers of Guo Yu's goods, and it is also in time for the New Year, so Guo Yu said that it is entirely possible to make a fortune.That being the case, as a middleman, the Liang family should receive a little remuneration.

The two gossiped for a while, and when Guo Yu asked about news from the Western Regions, Liang Yu couldn't help but feel a little heavy.Liang Xiao has been gone for more than half a year, and there is no news.The life of Liang's family is getting better and better, and Liang's worries are getting heavier and heavier, and she often has nightmares.

"There is no news yet." Liang Wei sighed softly.Guo Wenbin, Guo Yu's son, was with Liang Xiao, and she and Guo Yu were not purely interested, and there was no need to hide it. "My concubine prays to the gods every day, may my son come back safe and sound."

"Ma'am, don't worry, your son is very wise and brave, and he will definitely return safely."

The two were comforting each other, the servant in Tsing Yi walked in quickly, hurried to Liang Yu, and said in a low voice: "My lord, a distinguished guest has arrived."

Liang Yu was startled.She knew who the distinguished guest was, either Liu Ling or the Marquis of Pingyang.She glanced at Guo Yu.Guo Yu stood up knowingly, ready to leave.After thinking about it, Liang Yu stopped him again. "Guo Jun, please wait on the sidelines. As Guo Jun, I will introduce this nobleman."

Guo Yu was overjoyed and thanked him repeatedly.Liang Yu asked him to stay in the side porch, waiting for the call, then got up and greeted him outside the door.As soon as she walked to the door, the emperor in full attire walked in, followed by Li Danghu, Han Yan, Wei Qing and others.Seeing Liang Yu, the emperor smiled and bowed his hands to salute.

"How is Ma'am?"

Liang Yu was taken aback, and quickly stepped aside. "The status of a prince is noble, but a commoner's wife dare not be one."

"It's right, it's right." The emperor laughed, his mood couldn't be better.Madam Liang didn't know what it meant, Li Danghu smiled and said, "Madam Liang, the Lord has received the news that Liang Xiao has made meritorious service in the Western Regions."

Liang Yu was overjoyed and couldn't help clasping his hands together, thanking all the gods and gods.When the emperor saw it, he was overjoyed and didn't speak, just watched quietly from the side.After a while, Liang Yu opened her eyes and warmly invited the emperor and others to sit in the hall.

The emperor told Liang Yu the news he had just received.Hearing Liang Xiao's arduous journey, Liang Nai was both happy and nervous, smiling with tears in her eyes.The emperor was also full of emotion. "Liang Xiao is courageous and resourceful, young and promising, it's all due to his wife's ability to teach his children well."

Liang Yu repeatedly said: "The princes and marquises praise me, but women dare not be a woman." She paused, and then said: "A dog can do something small, first of all inherit the wiseness of the court, and secondly be taught by Master Huan and General Li. At the same time, he can't do without The assistance of colleagues. For example, Guo Wenbin, a native of Yanmen who volunteered to be a guide, without him, let alone meritorious service, it would be a problem whether the dog could go to Dawan smoothly."

"That's right, without a guide, you can't get out of this thousand-mile grassland." The emperor nodded in agreement. "Speaking of which, I'm a big man. It's really exciting news that a few people can run amok on the grassland and kill King Hunxie. This trip to the west, even if the alliance with the Yue Clan fails, it's still a great way to broaden your horizons. A great achievement. Madam, when Liang Xiao returns, I will visit the door again to congratulate and ask for a glass of wine."

"Your Majesty is coming, the humble house is really full of splendor, women dare not embrace Hui Qingdao, and welcome the whole family. Not only that, but also invite neighbors, relatives and friends to gather together." Liang Yu stood up and bowed A salute. "Since the lord is concerned about the news of the Western Regions, the women have the courage to recommend to the lord a great businessman who is familiar with the customs of the Western Regions."

The Son of Heaven was silent for a moment, then chuckled lightly: "I wonder which great Jia it is?"

"He is none other than the father of Guo Wenbin, Gouzi's guide, and Guo Jun, the great merchant of Yanmen who assisted Gouzi to go west."

Hearing that it was Guo Wenbin's father, the emperor nodded. "It turned out to be him, see you, see you."

Liang Yu didn't dare to neglect, and immediately invited Guo Yu out.

Although Guo Yu didn't know that the young man in front of him was the Son of Heaven, he knew that the status of this prince was not comparable to that of the Liang family.He stepped forward to salute tremblingly, lowered his head, and listened respectfully.When the Son of Heaven asked a question, he would answer one sentence, not much, and not much.The emperor was very satisfied with his attitude, and was also very interested in what he said about the situation in the Western Regions, so he talked with him for a long time.

Seeing that they were talking speculatively, Liang Wei tentatively asked the emperor to stay for dinner.The emperor was in a good mood and agreed.Liang Yu was overjoyed, and invited Li Rongqing and Tu Hua'er to prepare a banquet, and took out the wine Guo Yu sent, preparing to invite the emperor to taste it.

Wine is very common in the Western Regions, but not so much in Chang'an.The wine that Guo Yu brought back was not much, and most of it was given to Liang Xiao, and only a few bottles were brought to Chang'an, and they were not sold at all, and only two bottles were given to Liang Yu.Liang Yu was not willing to drink it, and now she took it out to entertain the distinguished guests.

Drinking wine and listening to the affairs of the Western Regions, the emperor was in a good mood, and the worries brought about by King Huainan's letter were swept away.

……

In the side yard, Wei Qing hugged the infant Mrs. Wei, overjoyed.

With a cloth scarf tied on his head, Zheng Er was wearing a large and bulky winter coat, leaning lazily on the head of the bed, watching Wei Qing tease the child. "Zhongqing, when will you pick me up?"

Wei Qing froze for a moment, with an unnatural smile on his face. "What's the matter, not enough money?"

"It's not about money." Zheng Er was a little impatient. "I live in my brother's house, and I don't have to worry about eating and drinking, but it's not my home after all. I want to live with you."

Wei Qing scratched his head, sat next to Zheng Er, and smiled embarrassedly.

"Second, you also know that although I have a residence in the Marquis of Pingyang, I work in the palace most of the time. Even if you move there, you won't see me. My residence is not big, my mother, two sisters , two younger brothers, and a little nephew, it's quite crowded, it's not as spacious as here. I'm looking for a house, and once I find a suitable one, I'll move you there. "

"You've said it several times, when are you going to wait?" Zheng Er shook Wei Qing's arm vigorously. "Zhongqing, I want to be with you, do you know that?"

"I also want to be with you, with my wife and son." Wei Qing held Zheng Er's face, looked around to see if there was no one around, and quickly kissed Zheng Er on the lips.Zheng Er wasn't doing much, his face turned red first, as if someone had caught him as a thief.Seeing Zheng Er, angry and funny, he stretched out his finger and tapped Wei Qing's forehead forcefully. "You, if only you had half the courage of my senior brother."

"How dare I compare with your senior brother." Wei Qing smiled without hesitation, and was a little lost in thought for a while. "He dares to go to the Western Regions without waiting for the edict, but I can't do it. It takes several months to send a message. If something happens, there is no time to ask the imperial court. What should I do?"

Zheng Er disagrees. "What's wrong with this, just decide for yourself. Isn't my senior brother doing a good job?"

Wei Qing licked his lips, hesitant. "But... you don't know how many people in the court said that he was wrong. If he did well this time, next time... he might not necessarily do well. What if..."

"In case, in case, you are as careful as you, what merits are there?" Zheng Er snorted, let go of Wei Qing, turned his back, and got angry to himself.Wei Qing didn't dare to say any more, and quickly persuaded him softly. "Second, do you think this is good? Next time I sleep, I'll come and see you first, and go out with you."

"You count?"

"Account, count."

"It's more or less the same." Zheng Er turned his anger into joy, and pinched Wei Qing hard. "If you dare to lie to me, I won't spare you." She glanced at Wei Qing, her face slightly dizzy, and said in a low voice, "Tell me, have you missed me recently?"

"I...I..." Wei Qing blushed.

"Think—" Qin Ge's playful laughter sounded outside. "I said sister-in-law, can you hurry up, the banquet is about to end, if you keep holding on to Zhongqing, we will have to leave him here."

Zheng Er cried out without showing any weakness. "If you have the ability, you can leave him here and see if I will starve him."

Qin Ge laughed loudly: "I'm not worried about starving him, but I'm worried that my little nephew won't have enough to eat."

"You...how did you tell them this?" Zheng Er covered his face with his hands, and squeezed out a low moan from between his fingers. "It's a shame."
