This winter's snow is coming earlier than last year's.

The snow covering the streets of Chang'an City has not yet been cleared, and people have left messy footprints on it, and the snow has also entered the Guo family's mansion with their shoes.

The people of the Guo family returned to Chang'an City late one night, as quietly as when they left, and when it was dawn, they integrated into the daily life of Chang'an City as before.

The naughty boy who climbed up the horse stone in front of the door was scolded by the doorman, and the merchant who was selling was called out by the servant woman and maid who came out of the corner gate.

The neighbors were surprised and took it for granted, and occasionally people came forward to greet and visit, but it did not arouse onlookers.

The Guo family did things for the emperor, and now everyone in Chang'an Mansion knows it.

The reason why General Guo suddenly resigned and went home that year was actually to protect the emperor who had taken refuge in the refugee room.

No one ridiculed the Guo family's military generals for being rude, only praised their loyalty and bravery.

The second master Guo and the third master Guo were very unaccustomed to this praise, and felt that it was not convenient to bully people in the future, so they proposed to move the family to another place to live, and were scolded by the old man Guo for being honest.

Live your life how you should live, and you are the real hero if you are not shocked, this is what Master Guo warned the Guo family, and the days will return to normal as Lord Guo wishes, but ......

There were a few pheasant cries in the hall, and the pheasant was colorful and fat, and it tasted delicious when stewed without adding anything.

The pheasant is good, but the 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 Master Ge?" Guo Huaichun said.

The woman was short and sturdy, her face was dark, and she had a simple smile on her face: "Yes, yes, General Guo, you forgot, my man and you also worshipped your brother and kowtowed..."

Guo Huaichun raised his hand and said: "Stop, stop, how many people have I Guo Huaichun worshipped with? It's too casual, there are no outsiders here, you can talk to this adult." ”

The woman smiled and said, "This reason is convenient, otherwise I said that it is General Guo, your distant relative?"

What's the matter, Guo Huaichun's eyes turned to the boy standing next to the woman, the boy was thin, wearing a coarse cloth torn jacket, his face was black and dirty, his eyes were staring at the pheasant, his eyes were round, it seemed that he had seen it for the first time, I didn't know whether it was curiosity or greed, saliva flowed down, he raised his sleeve and wiped it, and his mouth revealed white and tender skin.....

"This is..."Guo Huaichun pressed his forehead and said.

"My name is Son. The boy turned his head and said with a smile on Guo Huaichun, "I'm thirteen years old this year, my father went up the mountain to hunt and fell to death, I can't live with my mother, my father said before he died..."

"Okay, good..."Guo Huaichun raised his hand again to stop, "Why don't you even change the words?

"My mother asked me to speak. The son said, looking happy and proud, "My mother said that I can say whatever I want, say that I am good and clear, let me say, Uncle Guo, please look at the face of my dead father..."

Saying that, he knelt down and was about to hug Guo Huaichun's leg, but fortunately, Guo Huaichun quickly raised his leg to avoid it, and Rao was still startled.

"Alright, alright, get up. He said.

The son stood up in response, and the black on his face was washed away by tears: "I still have a lot to say, I also learned the beggar song sung by the beggars on the way, I sang it well, you ask me why I have fallen to such a point now, hey, the money has run out..."

Saying that, he really sang, Guo Huaichun was one head and two big, and raised his voice to call the housekeeper.

Steward Wu ran in from outside the door, and Guo Huaichun ordered him to leave with the mother and son.

The hall fell silent, and the boy's voice could be heard again in the distance.

“... Are you Wu's housekeeper? You take care of me and my mother, we orphans and widows..."

Guo Huaichun shook his head and shook off the shiver.

"It's a chatterbox. He said, "Strange, I've never heard of the little emperor..."

There is only one emperor now, and he can't talk nonsense.

Then I had a headache again.

Why did this Xue Qing send people here, what did he treat him here! This is bullying an honest man.

There was a sound of footsteps outside the door, Guo Huaichun glanced at it and saw that Master Guo San was probing outside.

When Master Guo San saw him coming, he frowned.

"Brother, there is another one who takes refuge, this child, does he need to be married?" he said.

Guo Huaichun said: "Get out." ”

.....

.....

There are many empty houses in the courtyard next to the Guo family's mansion.

"This is..."Steward Wu pointed to a small courtyard, and stopped talking halfway.

Everyone understands the meaning.

Naturally, this is the place where the emperor once lived when he took refuge, and the small courtyard is neatly trimmed and the door is locked.

"You can't live here, this is a place where our entire Chang'an City is provided. Steward Wu said with his thick sleeves and walked to the back, "Sister-in-law Song was taken into the capital by her daughter Cicada Yi, and her house is vacant, you live here." ”

The woman took her son by the hand and said, "It's all good, it's all good, it's good to have a place to stay." ”

The courtyard is no better than the Guo family's mansion, there is snow everywhere, and with the laughter of the children, a few snowballs smashed over.

Steward Wu stomped his feet angrily: "Naughty!"

A bunch of children in front of them scattered as birds and beasts.

The son happily picked up the snowballs scattered on the ground: "Mother, I want to play too." ”

The woman laughed and said, "Go ahead." ”

The son happily chased the children with a snowball.

Steward Wu said: "This child doesn't recognize life. ”

The woman laughed and said, "The children in the mountains are used to being wild. ”

Steward Wu smiled and didn't say anything, and didn't ask where this woman came from, as the housekeeper of the Guo family, of course he knew the current courtyard of the Guo family, and it was not something that any person from the top of the mountain could come to borrow.

In line with the attitude of not asking, not talking, not being attentive and not alienated, Steward Wu placed the woman and left, just walked to the back door, and saw a rabbit-eared hat poking out of the wall, followed by a crisp female voice.

"Steward Wu, my mother asked me to ask if the eldest master is there?"

A smile suddenly spread on Steward Wu's reserved face: "Nuan Nuan, are you going out?"

The rabbit ears on the hat nodded, and the warm face grew a little, but I don't know if it was too good to eat, it was still fat, and the eyes blinked when I looked at it.

"Go ahead, go ahead, the car is ready, don't ask the master. Steward Wu waved his hand.

Nuan Nuan sighed, turned around, pedaled and ran away.

Steward Wu returned to the hall, Guo Huaichun was still sitting in a daze, and the pheasants on the ground were also fluttering.

"Master, shall I take this down?" asked Steward Wu.

Guo Huaichun came back to his senses, and said fiercely: "Send me stewed and send it over, and I'll make up for it." ”

"Dad, what are you making up?" Guo Bao'er came in from outside, threw the whip in his hand on the table, and said, "Make it up for me." ”

"What do you make up. Guo Huaichun didn't have a good breath, looking at her cloak deerskin boots, "Where did you run away again? ”

Guo Bao'er said: "I'm going to find Liu Wu'er, Dad, Liu Wu'er may be crazy." ”

Old lady Liu is arrogant and almost crazy, Guo Huaichun snorted, what does Xue Qing have to do with him when he becomes the emperor.

"That Liu Wu'er actually invited a bunch of gentlemen to study, and it is said that he also cantiltens the beam and stabbed the strands, as if he was going to take the top prize. Guo Baoer pouted and said, "I called her out to play, but she actually said that the country's heavy responsibility can't be delayed, she is a little girl, what is the country's heavy responsibility." ”

Guo Huaichun had a headache when he heard it, and he didn't pay attention to it, but Guo Baoer didn't stop talking.

"Dad, speaking of heavy responsibility, you give that... Have you written a recital for the emperor? When will I join the army and become a general?"

"Then Song Ying could still promise me at the beginning, isn't she as good as others...."

Guo Huaichun slapped the table: "Get out." ”

.....

.....

The unknown woman and boy, the brainless daughter, and the crowing pheasant all left, and the hall was finally quiet.

Guo Huaichun sat on the chair, looking at the snow scene outside with a sad face, how could this day really be the same as before, there was no time to stop!

What iniquity has been created?

Compared with Guo Huaichun's sad face, Old Lady Liu was full of joy, and the golden ball in his hand turned quickly.

"Old lady, ask clearly. A steward said in a low voice and paused, "Young Master Chunyang did see His Majesty before leaving the capital. ”

"Dad, then what does this mean? Did Your Majesty drive him away?" The old man of the Liu family, who was sitting on the other side, said in a low voice with an uneasy face.

Old lady Liu said: "If Your Majesty drove him away, he would have come back early, just with his cheeks..." ”

So, the people sitting in the room breathed a sigh of relief, and the atmosphere became joyful again.

"I don't know what it is, so private. ”

"Don't ask about this, just pretend you don't know. ”

"It's only handed over to our Young Master Chunyang to do it, doesn't it mean that our Young Master Chunyang is the only one to be favored?"
