Early in the morning, it happened to be the tenth day, the day when the officials in the capital rested, and if you want to say that this day is worth mentioning, it is the birthday of the eldest daughter of the Duke of Qi. The King of Chu, the King of Rui, the King of Ning, and the three princes in the capital visited one after another, the nobles above the earl, the officials above the third rank, and the generals above the fourth rank in the Imperial Forest Army, all of whom could be present, all came, and the small and wide streets were filled with all kinds of carriages. The gifts piled up in the gatehouse could not be stuffed at all, so they could only be put in a part of the warehouse first, and then they could barely be vacated. This is the scene that the top noble family should have, and such a scene, ten days later, may have to come again.

In fact, according to the Guo family's always low-key attitude towards doing things, so many people would not have come after sending an invitation. The main reason is that Guo Shun, as a highly prestigious veteran in the army, should avoid suspicion in guarding the capital in order to show his loyalty. However, Guo Shun has been abnormal in the past few months, soaking in the barracks all day to train soldiers, and also brought Guo Jin, who was not originally part of the Royal Forest Army, over. Just for this matter, the officials have participated in several books, and some people secretly deliberately spread rumors that Guo Shun has a heart of disobedience.

But the strange thing is that the suspicious Emperor Yue turned a deaf ear and blindly connived. Guo Shun then took advantage of Guo Shu's attack on Dongting Lake in Yuezhou, and said that Guo Shu, as the county lord, had fewer 300 guards, and asked to increase the number to 350. This is already a great challenge to the imperial power. You must know that the Guo family, as the government mansion, originally had 500 guards and 300 soldiers, all of whom were paid by the emperor, not including the more than 100 retainers owned by the Guo family itself. This part of the retainers, even the emperor did not move, and there were already more than 1,000 people in total Lin Zong, plus the three hundred personal guards that Guo Shu himself should have, this was already a force to be reckoned with in the capital.

At this moment, even the people who are friends with the Guo family have advised them in the name of visiting the newborn son, and the hostile ones are waiting to see a good show. Who knows, Emperor Yue just scolded the water bandits on the top of the main hall, which made people indignant. Then Guo Shun was summoned to the study for a private chat for a long time, and then Emperor Yue not only agreed to add people, but also increased to 500 people in one go, saying that it was a whole number of celebrations.

After this incident, no one in the capital dared to underestimate this person's low-key family that has lasted for a hundred years, taking advantage of this opportunity, everyone who could come to stammer, but Guo Shu looked at it, his father seemed to be a little haggard, and he muttered from time to time: "Why doesn't he talk about it?

Of course, for these are small episodes, Wang Yu took people to patrol several days in advance, and checked everything inside and out, and on this morning, Wang Yu specially guarded the street to guide and maintain law and order by the way. Of course, this is Guo Shu's arrangement.

Guo Shu stood in front of the door and followed Guo Shun, with a not thick veil, just entertaining guests, but from time to time, Guo Shu would take a look at Wang Yu.

Qing'er leaned into Guo Shu's ear and said, "It's here." ”

Mrs. Ni took care of it early in the morning and brought her daughter, although her health was not very good, but the necessary etiquette still had to be fulfilled. Just walked nearby, her car was blocked at the door, although Ni Zheng could drive a horse over, but he couldn't leave them behind, so he could only accompany them to move slowly. After a while, I was really impatient to wait, and I didn't have time to wait for the person in front of me to guide the people and vehicles to divert the traffic, so I hurriedly got out of the car and walked, and there were not a few steps left and right.

"Wang Yu. Guo Shuyao shouted.

"You go over and take a look, I see it's been blocked for so long, you go and guide them around the other street to the back door, by the way, this car is mixed with people, in case something happens, it's not good. Guo Shu commanded.

"Good. Wang Yu received the order and immediately took people to dredge it.

Guo Shu watched quietly, seeing Wang Yu and Mrs. Ni passing by, moved a few steps, raised his hand slightly, and a cold glow emanated from the plain silver bracelet.

A horse was suddenly frightened, its hooves neighed and raised high, and between the lightning and flint, Mrs. Ni, who was next to her, was suddenly frightened, and was pulled heavily by Ni Zheng beside her, hit the wall, and immediately coughed violently. However, the horse's hooves suddenly turned at this time, and only stepped towards Mrs. Ni, if this foot was steady, the sturdy man would have to lose most of his life.

said that it was too late, and Wang Yu, who was next to him, saw that the horse was stepping on the person, but he couldn't save the person directly, so he pulled the reins and turned over on the horse. The horse's head was pulled fiercely, Wang Yu's body turned to the other side, the horse lost its balance and fell down, but it didn't press Mrs. Ni, only Wang Yu's legs.

Everything happened too fast, and before the people next to him could react, Wang Yu had already fallen to the ground. Guo Shu ran to Wang Yu's side with an anxious face, checked it carefully, and by the way, took advantage of people's inattention to take away the silver mang.

"How are you?" Guo Shu dragged Wang Yu out from under the horse and everyone worked together to check it, because of the armor, it was only a bone crack, and there was no fracture as Guo Shu imagined.

"Fortunately, although the muscles and bones are broken, there is no fracture, help the handle, carry him in to rest, and the rest of the people step up patrols and guidance, pay attention to separating the carriage and horses from the people, to avoid such a situation again, Mrs. Ni, I'm really sorry, because our negligence frightened you, can you go first and rest for a while?" Guo Shu said calmly.

It's just that Ni Zheng and Mrs. Ni didn't seem to hear what Guo Shu said, staring at Wang Yu's face in a cold sweat, with a look of shock, even the cultivation of the old fox who had been immersed in officialdom for many years could not suppress this shock.

"Lord Ni, Lord Ni?" Guo Shu exhaled twice, but there was no response, and the person next to him said worriedly: "Won't you be surprised, find a doctor to take a look?"

This sentence reminded Guo Shu, Guo Shu rushed forward, grabbed Mrs. Ni's hand and carefully checked the pulse, and took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, and carefully stabbed Ni Zheng with the cold light on the chain. The two of them suddenly felt pain and came to their senses, and Miss Ni was relieved when she saw this situation.

"Lord Ni is frightened, please go and rest for a while, someone here will deal with it." Guo Shu smiled decently, Ni Zheng and Mrs. Ni were obviously preoccupied, and naturally they had no time to care about whether Guo Shu's arrangement was decent or indecent, so they nodded in response.

Guo Shu naturally knew why they were so preoccupied, but he didn't say anything, they had done a good job in front of them, and things would go naturally.

Of course, there was another person in this incident who was frightened, and he was a wealthy man who had the most business dealings with the Guo family. The policy of the Yue Dynasty was enlightened, and the status of merchants was not as low as that of the previous dynasty, and the Guo family relied on commerce to gain benefits, and they didn't care much about that, so they invited them to come. It's just that they didn't expect them to be unlucky to catch up with such a mess, and the merchant was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat, for fear that Mrs. Ni would make a mistake. Guo Shu comforted him for a long time before he could barely put his mind at ease, but in the next banquet, he sat in the most marginal corner, for fear that Ni Zheng would notice them.

After the diversion of people and vehicles, the speed was obviously much faster, and Guo Shun took pity on Guo Shu's poor health, so he let Guo Shu go back to rest early. Guo Shu didn't shirk either, seeing that the play was over, he naturally lost his interest in staying and working hard.

"The county lord. A shallow voice came, Guo Shu looked back, King Ning was shaking the folding fan and came over, the rainy season is the end, although it is not raining today, but it is definitely not hot, King Ning's golden silk Nanmu folding fan is purely for show.

"The county lord is really glorious today, and this king wishes the county lord eternal youth and beauty like a flower......

"You can keep this and praise my sister. Guo Shu pushed back unappreciatively.

King Ning was pierced in his mind, and he was not angry, he was still smiling, and he hadn't seen it, knowing that Guo Shu had always disliked too much superficial work, he stretched his neck and shook it twice, and asked, "May I ask where Miss Guo Er is?"

"Of course it's in your boudoir, where do you think it's there? Just wait, she will come out soon, if you want to resort to the pain of lovesickness, there will be this opportunity, just find a small courtyard where no one is, as soon as the door is closed, this lovesickness ......" Guo Shu still smiled, but no matter how you look at it, there is a smell of ridicule in it.

For some reason, what Concubine Mingde promised has not been implemented. Maybe it's to appease the face of the Northern Zhou, maybe it's just because the Guo family has had a lot of things recently, and all the piles are not suitable for marriage, and the will of Guo Shu said by the pure heart Taoist has not come down.

However, Guo Shu didn't care about it originally, he didn't want to marry before, but now he doesn't resist at most. After all, I am also old in my heart, and some things can be seen openly, but it does not mean that I can accept them happily and look forward to them as shy as a little girl.

King Ning turned his head, how could this kind of thing be appealed to in broad daylight, although he wanted to say a rude word, but in the end today is her birthday, it seems that it is not very good, it is a loss of grace, do not care about it, if it is really a girl from the countryside, it is not as good as a gentle and virtuous lady......

Guo Shu glanced at it, knowing that King Ning must look down on him, and smiled slightly with satisfaction, "It's not appropriate for His Royal Highness King Ning to stay in the backyard all the time, so please ask Your Highness to go back to the living room and take a seat first, the banquet will start soon, and you will have the strength to enjoy the flowers in the afternoon." Guo Shu said sincerely, King Ning's eyes lit up, he smiled knowingly, nodded and turned to leave.

This kind of reaction actually made Guo Shu feel like a mother, but after thinking about it, isn't what he is doing his mother's work now! Thinking about this clearly, Guo Shu is not entangled, and happily goes to prepare for the seat.
