Chapter 194: The Guo Family
These people who are suspected of coming to ask for relatives have a smile on their faces when they come, but when they leave, their expressions are different, some are happy and some are worried, and they don't know what they mean.
Finally, on this day, a person came who surprised everyone, Guo Hongye!
Guo Hongye's big victory a year ago made him the best among the young generation in the capital, although he later returned to the north, but there were many girls in the capital who missed him. Guo Hongye is already twenty-four years old, and he has not yet decided to marry, this time, so that the girls in the capital, even a few princesses, can't sit still, secretly prepare, when Guo Shizi returns to Beijing in the future, they must leave an impression in front of him, maybe they will become the princess of Anguo, the future Duchess of Anguo!
This time, Guo Hongye returned to the capital, and not many people received the news, until he came to the Wu'an Hou Mansion, he was seen by many people, and the people in the capital knew that Guo Shizi had returned to Beijing.
Because of Guo Hongye's arrival, the Zhou family moved, and after Zhou Mao received the news, he stood outside the door and greeted him personally, and then welcomed Guo Hongye into the study with a smile.
"Zhou Mao participates in His Royal Highness the Prince of Anguo!" Although Zhou Mao, as a Hou Ye, is strictly on the same level as Guo Hongye, how dare he be on the same level as Guo Hongye.
But Guo Hongye would not accept his salute, because as soon as he said it, Guo Hongye immediately helped Zhou Mao up, "What is the old marquis doing, don't you like the younger generation to visit, and deliberately want to embarrass me?" ”
Zhou Mao immediately looked frightened and didn't dare to say, so Guo Hongye smiled and said: "The old marquis has been on the battlefield for many years, and the younger generation admires it in my heart, as soon as I returned to Beijing yesterday, I wanted to visit, but I thought that it was late, and the old marquis, you were injured again, so early this morning, Guiyuan came." If you don't have a reason to dislike it, then I won't do it again in the future. ”
Guo Hongye's beautiful words made Zhou Mao even useful in his heart, but he was an old fox, so he saw it at the first time, this prince of An Guo is a little fox, and he is still a little fox who is about to become a refinement!
Since the death of the Empress Dowager Taizu, the Guo family has been silent, and it is not until this generation that several young talents have appeared, among them, the son Guo Hongye is one of the best, and he was pushed to the forefront because of a beautiful battle last year.
It also happened that it was that big battle that Zhou Ren blocked a fatal arrow for Guo Hongye on Tuesday of the Northern Xinjiang Army, so Guo Hongye was unscathed and commanded the army to a great victory, but Zhou Ren was completely discarded because of this.
But because of this, Guo Hongye remembered Zhou Ren's kindness, and at this time last year, he had already started to contact the Zhou family, and the Zhou family also agreed.
And the Guo family, because of decades of silence, has now been overtaken by the latecomers of the Mo family and has fallen behind a lot, so in order to revive, the Guo family also needs many followers to support them.
When Guo Hongye arrived, Zhou Xiao and Zhou Yizi also received the news, so they hurriedly put down what they were doing and rushed to Zhou Mao's study. Because they had met before, Zhou Yi and Guo Hongye were relatively familiar, and Guo Hongye said something from time to time, while Zhou Xiao stood silently on the side, and when no one asked him, he would never say anything.
Guo Hongye secretly looked at the three fathers and sons of the Zhou family, including Zhou Ren, who was still in northern Xinjiang, the four sons of the Zhou family, all of whom were capable of doing the same.
Zhou Mao has become a farmer in a village from a street to a government today, and he is a legend in his life. The eldest son, Zhou Xiao, has a reputation for loyalty and honesty, and now looking at his silent appearance, the rumors seem to be true. Zhou Ren is a ghost talent on Tuesday, and he has a lot of ideas for marching and fighting, although his force is not as good as that of the fierce general Zhou Xiao, but he is not a weak scholar. The only "weak scholar" is the third Zhou Yi. Zhou Yi is a concubine, at first he just trained him to manage the affairs of the Zhou family, but later he was like a fish in water in the court, and the official rank over the years has also jumped up step by step, envying others.
As for the second and third rooms of the Zhou family, which are not very concerned, they are also in office in the court, not big or small, and no one looks down on them.
But after his investigation, compared with the outstanding men of the Zhou family, the women of the Zhou family are really not on the stage.
The old lady Yan, born in a village woman, vulgar and immoral, should have kept the agreement to marry the Song family who helped him Zhou family as Mrs. Hou, who knew that Yan couldn't look down on the Song family later, and forced her son to marry the concubine of the Wenchang Hou Mansion as a flat wife, and was complacent and finally married a daughter-in-law of equal status, in fact, she didn't know, outsiders were waiting to see her jokes, a heavy soldier, the Hou Shizi of Wu'an, who was favored by the saints, actually wanted to marry a concubine as a flat wife, it was really a big laugh!
And the Song family is not angry, and every two years they give birth to a daughter who dies, which just makes way for the Su family to become a serious Mrs. Hou, showing off her power and complacent, and then secretly persecuting the only daughter Zhou Huaiyu left by the Song family, and raising her crookedly for more than ten years. Although I later heard that Zhou Huaiyu himself had grown straight again, hasn't the good time of more than ten years been wasted? It is expected that although her appearance has returned to her normal girl's appearance now, she must still be a straw bale girl inside.
As for the second and third rooms, a down-and-out noble girl who has no strength and only spare dignity, and a woman with a long tongue who can't control her mouth, which makes people disdainful.
The reason why Guo Hongye knows so clearly is not because he wants to cooperate with the Zhou family, and how to feel at ease if he doesn't find out, but after this is clear, it is better not to check, because he is even more uneasy in his heart, just because he came today, and he also has the same purpose as those who came to the Zhou family a few days ago, to propose marriage, to Zhou Huaiyu!
After chatting about business and gossip, it was already noon, of course, the Zhou family left Guo Hongye to eat at home, and Guo Hongye also readily agreed because the most important thing had not yet been said, and then found an opportunity, drank three rounds, and finally opened his mouth.
"It's not a secret, today's juniors came to ask for something."
When Zhou Mao heard this, he immediately agreed: "His Royal Highness the Prince of the World has any orders, just say, where is the word 'ask'!" ”
Guo Hongye smiled bitterly: "Old Marquis, I'm serious, don't be so weird and happy to agree, and then regret it after listening to it for a while!" ”
Zhou Mao saw Guo Hongye's expression, and his heartbeat began to speed up a little, in case Guo Hongye, this kid, suddenly made a thing that asked him to assassinate an adult, or "stand in line" in public, he really couldn't agree!
