Text 161 Study
Naturally, Xiao Hengyan personally sent him back when he returned home, and Xiao Hengyan did not avoid anyone at this point. The gate of Guo's mansion is facing the street, and people come and go on the street, and I don't know who is looking at it. For this point, Guo Shu acquiesced, and when he returned home, there was still no one who went out to greet him, only one of the stewards who used to follow the Xu family and who was now in charge of Guo's account came out to greet him. Guo Shu went back to Zhilan Courtyard directly, and after Xiao Hengyan sent Guo Shu into the courtyard, he turned around and went to Guo Shun's study.
A more accurate description of the study room is the White Tiger Festival Hall, which can be used as a study or as a place for soldiers to gather. It's just that Guo Shun controls the Imperial Forest Army in the capital, and he doesn't need to gather troops at all, so he is used to calling it the study, unless Guo Shun points the general to go on the expedition, the study is the White Tiger Festival Hall.
"Your Highness. Guo Shun saw Xiao Hengyan come in, and arched his hand casually, even if it was a salute, in fact, even if Guo Shun saw the prince, he didn't need to do any etiquette, unless it was an official audience with the Son of Heaven, he needed to make a salute. And at this time, even if you meet the Son of Heaven, you don't need to kneel and bow, just bend down.
"The general is working hard," Xiao Hengyan slowly walked to the front of a giant map hanging in the study, "The general is about to marry his daughter, why don't you see joy in this mansion?"
"The red silk will be hung up, but in the spring, there are a lot of flowers to rush to the joy, the marriage of the concubine is regulated, too ostentatious is not good, and then this Guo Mansion is simple, no matter how festive it is, it is a little lighter, these days, it is annoying His Royal Highness to take care of the little girl. ”
"It should be," Xiao Hengyan said lightly, "General, here is the map of Qiantang?"
"Yes," Guo said cheerfully, "Qiantang is the land of Wuxing, and this ground faces the East China Sea, and this place is also an important logistics place for the East China Sea Division, so it is okay to know more." ”
Xiao Hengyan looked at this military map with no details, nodded and said, "The general's sword is not old, and his ambition is not gone. ”
"There is no battle to fight in the capital, so I can only look at this, and it is also used for entertainment, and it is rare for His Highness to be able to see it. ”
In fact, this is just to say, Guo Shunrong has been a horse for half his life, and his prestige in the army is very high, when the former commander of the Royal Forest Army had an accident, and the dragons in the Royal Forest Army were leaderless, Guo Shuncai was urgently transferred back to the capital, and no one was dissatisfied, which shows its influence. With such a character, no emperor can rest assured that he will stay in the frontier to lead the army, and it will be difficult to have a chance to go on an expedition. In particular, Guo Sheng's father guarded the frontier and deterred the northern border, and in recent years, there has been nothing to do, and Guo Shun has fewer opportunities to go back to fight. If a general doesn't show some kind of ambition to fight, others will suspect that you have some other ambitions, which is also something that must be done.
"According to the general, if you go to Qiantang to oversee the army to change the guard at this time, is it a good opportunity?" Xiao Hengyan continued like this.
"No, Qiantang is the perennial guard of the Qinglin Army, at this time, if you change the guard, the forces are intertwined, and it will be a trouble to move, and it is difficult for the capital to have the energy to deal with these things now, and the commander of the Qinglin Army, Xu Moran, is old and serious, and he has outstanding military achievements, so replace the ......" Guo Shun did not say it again, but the meaning is also obvious, the veteran needs to be appeased, Qiantang is rich, if it is changed to other places, it will chill the heart of the veteran, but if a veteran who is guarded goes to the border at this time to stay, it is inevitable that he will be a little unkind.
"Well......" Xiao Hengyan groaned, Guo Shun's words were not just from the perspective of a coach, or rather, he was teaching Xiao Hengyan to look at it from the perspective of a superior, of course, it must not be empathy, and even has great limitations. These words are actually a reminder, there is no special significance, Guo Shun has no objection to changing the guard, whether to change the guard or not, it is all out of political considerations, but how to change, this is where Guo Shun wants to remind Xiao Hengyan, after all, there are too many things involved in this place, and it is not easy to coordinate all parties.
"What the general said is that this king must think about it carefully...... "Just get down to business, today is not a good time to speak," Shu'er ...... There is ...... in the palace," Xiao Hengyan said slowly.
"She is still young, and it is not suitable for her to marry, this is mentioned in her master's letter to His Majesty personally, I heard that it was specially mentioned when he left Yuezhou, and His Majesty has a lot of hesitation about this, if she wants to get married, she will go as early as next year," Guo Shun paused for a moment, as if he was a little aware of Xiao Hengyan's concern, "But the holy decree has been issued, and it will not be delayed for too long." ”
Xiao Hengyan seemed to have caught something, and blurted out, "The Pure Heart Daoist and his father know each other?"
Guo Shun nodded, but he didn't hesitate, as if he remembered something, he smiled again and shook his head. All the reactions fell in Xiao Hengyan's eyes, and naturally it was a different situation, but he had never heard of the elders. He had an intuition that Guo Shu knew something, but if Guo Shu didn't say it, it wouldn't be good for him to ask, and after thinking about it, he still suppressed his curiosity.
Xiao Hengyan remembered something again, "When I was in Yuezhou, the doctor in my house benefited a lot from Shu'er, and I also expressed in front of me that I wanted to learn medical skills with Shu'er, I want to ......"
"When she goes out, I'm afraid no one in my house can stop her, but it's not good for the girl's family to spend the night outside, and I bother His Highness to send it more. ”
Guo Shun doesn't understand Xiao Hengyan's lame excuse, he also has a marriage contract, walk around, in Guo Shun's opinion, there are not so many rules and taboos, of course, if there is something embarrassing, no one can end it, this point still has to be explained in advance.
Xiao Hengyan also understood, nodded, and took his leave, and when he went out, he glanced at Zhilan Courtyard, but he couldn't help but see Guo Cai under a peach blossom tree that was desperately spitting out buds, and he also looked at the direction of Zhilan Courtyard, and seemed to be very lonely.
The two are the same age, Xiao Hengyan followed Guo Shun when he first entered the army, and most of the mounted archery was also taught in Guo's family. In addition, Guo Cai is a cheerful and comfortable character, coming and going, the two are almost in a small relationship, and they are about to go out of the house but they run into it, Xiao Hengyan naturally wants to come forward to say hello.
"Guo Cai, what are you doing standing here? Xiao Hengyan stood behind Guo Cai and called him, after all, Guo Cai also has kung fu, and it is not low, but he is a civil official who has passed the imperial examination, but many people don't remember this. But Xiao Hengyan knew, so Xiao Hengyan didn't shoot Guo Cai from behind, but even so, Guo Cai almost turned around, and his defensive posture didn't dare to relax until he saw the person who came.
Guo Cai turned around and Xiao Hengyan saw the bloodshot in Guo Cai's eyes, which almost startled Xiao Hengyan.
"What's wrong with you, you didn't sleep well? You're too busy? For Guo Cai, Xiao Hengyan didn't chew the words so much.
“......”
"I thought that with your temperament, you would definitely come to pick up Shu'er in person, you want to see why she didn't go directly and what she was doing standing here," Xiao Hengyan said easily, but he only saw a flash of light in Guo Cai's eyes, so he said: "I heard her say on the way that she would dig up a few more jars of wine to drink, and you are not afraid that your inventory will be drunk by her." ”
The jokes finally played a role, Guo Cai's wine is his life, who dares to move, not to be chased and killed by him, at least to have a black face for a few days, the people who dare to steal wine unscrupulously in this house are actually Guo Shu alone. For Guo Shu, the only sister-in-law, Guo Cai has been the most favored since he was a child, although he usually fights, but whoever wants to hurt her a hair, Guo Cai will completely blow up his hair, he can't lift the sky, his own sister steals wine, can't beat, scold, and can't bear to have a black face.
It's just that if you drink too much wine, it will inevitably hurt your flesh, but the strange thing is that Guo Cai seems to be preoccupied, and Xiao Hengyan came back to his senses as soon as he joked, but his spirit was still sluggish.
Guo Cai just glanced back at Xiao Hengyan, nodded, said hello, turned around and wanted to leave. But before he could step out, he stopped in mid-air.
"Going out for a walk?" Guo Cai asked as if he had come back to his senses.
