Chapter 148 As always
The snow this winter comes much earlier than last year.
The snow covered on Chang'an City Street has not been cleared yet, and people have left messy footprints on it, and the snow has also entered the Guo family's mansion with their shoes.
The people from the Guo family returned to Chang'an City late one night, as silent as they left, and at dawn, they merged into the daily life of Chang'an City as before.
The naughty boy climbing onto the horse stone in front of the door was scolded by the door, and the hawking peddler was shouted by the servants and maids who walked out of the corner gate. He surrounded the picky and picky houses and drove mules and horses and laughed out. This was Mr. Guo Er who was going to the farm, and he always had to go and see it when it snowed.
The neighbors were surprised and took it for granted. Occasionally, someone came forward to say hello to see it, but it did not attract onlookers.
The Guo family works for the emperor, and now everyone in Chang'an Prefecture knows it.
The reason why General Guo suddenly stepped down and returned home was actually to protect the emperor among the refugees.
No one laughed at the vulgarity of the Guo generals, but only praised his loyalty and courage.
Mr. Guo Er and Mr. Guo San were very unaccustomed to this praise. They felt that it was not convenient to bully people in the future. They suggested that their family move to another place, but Mr. Guo scolded him for being honest.
Living your life will be as you wish. A true hero is not surprised by the favor and disgrace. This is what Master Guo warned the people of the Guo family. Life is like Master Guo wishing to return to normal, but...
A few pheasant cries sounded in the hall. The pheasant was colorful and plump. It was so delicious that it was stewed without adding anything.
Pheasant is good, but its origin is a headache. Guo Huaichun reached out and pressed his forehead, and his eyes moved from the pheasant on the ground to the woman sitting on the chair next to him.
"Do you know Lord Ge?" Guo Huaichun said.
The woman was short and strong, with a dark face, and a simple smile on her face: "Yes, yes, General Guo, you forgot that my man had bowed to you, too..."
Guo Huaichun raised his hand and said, "Stop, how many people did I, Guo Huaichun, have you ever worshipped? It's too casual. There are no outsiders here. You can just talk well, sir."
The woman smiled and said, "This reason is convenient, otherwise I would say it is General Guo's distant relative?"
Anything can do, Guo Huaichun turned his gaze to the boy standing next to the woman. The boy was thin, wearing a torn cloth jacket, with a dark and dirty face. His eyes were staring at the pheasant, his eyes widened, as if he had seen him for the first time. I don’t know if he was curious or greedy, but saliva flowed down. He raised his sleeves and wiped it, and his white skin appeared on his mouth...
"This is..." Guo Huaichun pressed his forehead and said.
"My name is Yizi." The boy turned his head and said when he heard this, and smiled at Guo Huaichun. "I am thirteen years old this year. My father went up the mountain to hunt and fell to death. My mother and I couldn't survive. My father said before he died..."
"Okay, okay..." Guo Huaichun raised his hand again to stop him, "Why didn't you even change the words? And you should let your mother say this..."
"My mother asked me to say it." Yizi said, looking happy and proud, "My mother said whatever she wanted, and said I could say it clearly. I said, Uncle Guo, please be for the sake of my dead father..."
As he said that, he knelt down and was about to hug Guo Huaichun's legs. Fortunately, Guo Huaichun almost lifted his legs and avoided them. Even so, he was still shocked.
"Okay, okay, get up." He said.
Yizi stood up and the black on her face was washed away by tears: "I have a lot to say. I also learned begging songs sung by beggars on the way. I sang them so well. Ask me why I have fallen to such a point now. Alas, the money has been used up..."
As he said that, he started singing. Guo Huaichun was one head and two big, calling the butler.
Butler Wu ran in from outside the door, and Guo Huaichun gave him a few instructions, asking him to take the mother and son away.
The hall was quiet and the boy's voice could be heard from afar.
"...Are you Butler Wu? Is the Butler? Take care of me and my mother, we orphans and widows..."
Guo Huaichun shook his head and shook his chills.
"It turned out to be a chatterbox." He said, "Strange, I have never heard of Xiaohuang..." He hurriedly swallowed it back.
There is only one emperor now, so you can't talk nonsense.
Immediately I had a headache again.
Why did Xue Qing send someone here? What did he think of him here? This is bullying honest people.
There was footsteps outside the door, and Guo Huaichun glanced at him and saw Master Guo San poking his head outside.
When Mr. Guo San saw him, he winked at him.
"Brother, another one has come to surrender. Does this child need to get engaged?" he said.
Guo Huaichun said: "Get out."
.....
.....
There are many empty houses in the yard next to the Guo family's mansion.
"This is..." Butler Wu pointed to a small courtyard road and stopped talking halfway.
Everyone understands the meaning.
This place is naturally the place where the emperor lived during his shelter. The courtyard was cleaned and locked on the door.
"You can't live here. This is the place where our entire Chang'an City is offered." Butler Wu said with thick sleeves in his arms and walked backwards. "Sister-in-law Song was taken to the capital by her daughter Chanyi. Her house was vacant. You live here."
The woman held Yizi and said, "It's all good, it's all good, just have a place to stay."
The slums are no better than the Guo family's mansion. There is snow everywhere. With a thud of children, a few snowballs hit me.
Butler Wu stamped his feet in anger: "Naughty!"
A bunch of children in front of them scattered birds and beasts.
Yizi happily picked up the snowballs scattered on the ground: "Mom, I want to play too."
The woman laughed and said, "Go."
Weizi happily held the snowball and chased the children.
Butler Wu said: "This child does not admit to having children."
The woman smiled and said, "Children in the mountains are used to wild."
Butler Wu smiled without saying a word and didn't ask where the woman came from. As the butler of the Guo family, of course he knew that the current family of the Guo family was not allowed to live in by any person on the hill.
With the attitude of not asking, saying, not being attentive and not being alienated, Butler Wu arranged the woman and left. As soon as he walked to the back door, he saw a rabbit-eared hat poking out from the wall, and then the female voice was crisp.
"Butler Wu, my mother asked me to ask if the master is here?"
Butler Wu's reserved face suddenly dissipated his smile: "Nuannuan, are you going out?"
The rabbit ears on the hat were dotted, and Nuannuan's face grew a little bit, but I don't know if it was too good to eat, but she was still fat and blinked as she looked here.
"Go and go, the car is ready, no need to ask the master." Butler Wu waved his hand.
Nuannuan turned around and ran away.
When Butler Wu returned to the hall, Guo Huaichun was still sitting in a daze, and the pheasants on the ground were also flapping.
"Master, I'll take this down?" asked Butler Wu.
Guo Huaichun came back to his senses and said fiercely: "I stew it for me and I'll make up for it."
"Dad, what are you doing?" Guo Baoer came in from outside, threw the whip in his hand on the table, and said, "Replenish it for me."
"What are you going to make up for?" Guo Huaichun said angrily, looking at her cloaked deer leather boots, "Where have you gone? She doesn't stay at home when it snows."
Guo Baoer said: "I'm going to find Liu Wuer. Dad, Liu Wuer may be crazy."
Old Master Liu was so crazy that he was almost crazy. Guo Huaichun snorted, what does Xue Qing have to do with him when he became the emperor?
"Then Liu Wu'er actually invited a bunch of gentlemen to study. It is said that she was hanging her head and stabbing her legs, making her look like she was going to be the top scorer." Guo Baoer curled her lips, "I called her out to play, but she actually said that the country's important responsibilities should not be indulged in having fun. She is a little girl, what kind of important responsibilities should she have."
Guo Huaichun felt a headache when he heard this and ignored it. Guo Baoer did not stop talking.
"Dad, say the important task, have you written a memorial to that... for the emperor? When will I let me join the army and become a general?"
"Then Song Ying could still agree to me at the beginning. Is she not as good as others..."
Guo Huaichun slapped the table and said, "Get out."
.....
.....
The women and boys of unknown origin, their brainless daughters, and the pheasants who were screaming all left, and the hall finally returned to quiet.
Guo Huaichun sat on the chair and looked at the snow outside with a sad look on his face. Why is this life still the same as before, and there is no time to stop!
What kind of evil did you do?
Compared to Guo Huaichun's sad face, Old Master Liu was full of joy and the golden ball in his hand was spinning very fast.
"Old Master, ask clearly." A manager whispered, pausing, "Young Master Chunyang did see His Majesty before leaving the capital."
"Dad, what does this mean? Is Your Majesty driving him away?" The master of the Liu family sitting on the other side said in a low voice.
Old Master Liu said, "If His Majesty drove him away, he would have come back long ago, just relying on his shamelessness..." He said, "It was clearly His Majesty who told him to do things."
That's right, everyone sitting in the room breathed a sigh of relief, and the atmosphere became happy again.
"I don't know what it is, so private."
"Don't ask about this anymore, just pretend you don't know."
"Isn't it said that we, Mr. Chunyang, are we the only ones who are favored?"
