Although Shangguan Ji was the auxiliary minister designated by the first emperor, he had not yet received this gift, because Huo Guang, the head of the auxiliary ministers, had no interest in Beique Jiadi. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Not counting the shogunate of the great general and the hussar general, the most prominent of the former Beique Jiadi is the mansion belonging to the Marquis of Changping and the Champion Marquis, if the Son of Heaven wants to give the first, he must first consider the two mansions that have no owner, after all, those two are closest to the Beique, which is most in line with their identity.

For those two mansions that carried too many good memories, Huo Guang had some thoughts to avoid, so after becoming the general of Da Sima, Huo Guang did not move.

Shangguan Ji moved to Xuanping Gate after ascending the throne today, where the powerful gathered, and the residences of many princes and kings were also located here, known as "Xuanping's Guili".

It was not the first time Huo Guang had come to Shangguan's house, but this time, he felt deeply disobedient before he entered the door.

- Maybe it's been too long......

——The last time he came to Shangguan's house, it was the day when his eldest daughter was exempted...... It was also the day of her death.

This time, it was for the granddaughter's gift.

Shangguan An solemnly asked: "The edict is weak (Note 1) to enter, and it will be added to its head, and I hope that the teachings of the adults will also be followed." ”

This is a fairly formal prayer.

Huo Guang didn't expect that the Shangguan family would invite him to add money to Xijun's entry into the palace, and after being stunned, he was already unhappy because of this, and he immediately became a little annoyed.

Without giving any more courtesy, Huo Guang directly refused: "A woman agrees to marry and add a marriage, and she has always acted by her relatives, so you shouldn't invite me!" ”

Shangguan An, who was originally bowing his head to attend the ceremony, raised his head when he heard this, glanced at his wife and father, lowered his head again, and said softly: "Xijun misses his grandfather very much. ”

Xijun and his younger brother returned home in September, and now it is less than a month, Huo Guang naturally has not seen them again, and after the ceremony, the woman to be married does not have a foreign surname.

Thinking of this, Huo Guang hesitated.

After hesitating for a moment, Huo Guang sighed and said a formal courtesy: "I am not sensitive, I am afraid that I can't work together, so I dare to resign." ”

Shangguan bowed his head and bowed again: "A certain person wishes to be the final teacher of the adult!" ”

"You have a life, dare not obey?"

Since he agreed to be the guest of honor, the night before the official ceremony, Huo Guang needed to stay at Shangguan's house.

Shangguan An welcomed Huo Guang into the main hall, and after dealing with the usual courtesy, he led Huo Guang to the guest house.

"The West Courtyard is the residence of Xijun and Wuji, does Ah Gong go to see them now, or will he go after feeding?" Shangguan An respectfully asked for instructions.

Huo Guang didn't say too eagerly: "Let's feed first!" "He came from the palace, exhausted, and really unrefreshed.

Shangguan An knew that the trouble of the solar eclipse at the beginning of the month was still in trouble, and Yizhou reported that the southwest was unstable, and Huo Guang could still remember the day of his granddaughter's ceremony, and he took the initiative to come, he was a little surprised - he thought that he needed to wait until after sunset and send someone into the palace to remind Huo Guang.

"Who's the praiser?" Waiting for the slave maid to deliver the meal, Huo Guang asked casually.

Shangguan An replied solemnly: "The minister invited ......."

"Father!" The polite salute between the two sons and sons was interrupted by a cheerful children's voice, Huo Guang immediately eased his original serious expression, and looked at the inner door blocked by the screen with a smile.

The clear voice seemed to be still echoing, and Huo Guang and Shangguan An saw Xijun in a red brocade robe rushing in from the screen.

"Ah Weng ......" saw that Shangguan An was also there, and Xijun immediately stopped and saluted with his hands.

Shangguan An saw his daughter frequently looking at himself and Huo Guang's small movements from the corner of his eye, and couldn't help but reach out to pick up his daughter and walk to Huo Guang's side: "Tomorrow, my grandfather will give you a word, now, you can accompany your grandfather to thank you with food!" ”

"Xijun must accompany the eldest father well!" Holding his father's neck, Xijun replied happily.

After taking over his granddaughter from Shangguan An's hands, before he could talk to Shangguan An, he heard Xijun's obedient greeting, Huo Guang could only bow his head lightly to his son-in-law who bowed and retired, and then bowed his head to talk to his granddaughter.

As soon as he said for a while, Xijun suddenly thought of something, and complained to his grandfather with a bitter face: "Father, my brother is sick again...... Xijun is so scared......"

Thinking of his grandson, who lost his mother when he was born, Huo Guang couldn't help but look worried. After Shangguan Hong was born, his health has been bad, and after the last accident, he often had convulsions and high fevers.

"It's okay!" Huo Guang comforted his granddaughter softly, and at the same time motioned to the maid who delivered the meal to put the food table on the long table in front of the bed, "Your grandfather has invited a doctor, and he will be fine." ”

"Hmm!" Xijun nodded, as if he finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Father, eat." ”

"Have you used it?" Seeing his granddaughter looking at the sweet soup, Huo Guang immediately asked knowingly, and Xijun shook his head: "No." ”

"Let's use it together!" Putting the sweet soup and spoon in front of his granddaughter, watching her happily drink his favorite sweet soup, Huo Guang couldn't help but smile.

After taking two bites of the dish, Huo Guang put down the silver chopstick, hugged Xijun into his arms, and whispered in her ear at the same time: "Don't make a sound." ”

Xi Jun didn't say anything, but he still put down the spoon in confusion, and just wanted to look up, he felt that there was something more on his neck.

- Verdant ......

In the blink of an eye, Xijun lifted the jade ornament hanging from his neck with a red rope and looked at his grandfather with puzzled eyes.

"This is made in the same way as a gourd (Note 2)." Huo Guang picked up the jade ornament and explained softly in a whispered voice to his granddaughter, and then motioned to Xijun to pay attention to his movements.

The left hand pinched the big ball below, the right held the small ball above, slowly twisted, turned five times, the two balls separated, Xijun saw that the big ball was filled with cyan juice, couldn't help but be curious, so he wanted to reach out and test.

"Can't touch it!" Huo Guang immediately stretched out his left hand, and when Xijun withdrew his hand, he asked in a low voice, "Remember?" ”

Xijun nodded, and then watched Huo Guang screw the two small balls back together, and solemnly put the jade ornament into the collar.

Huo Guang held his granddaughter's shoulder, stared at her eyes, and explained seriously: "This thing is close to you, and you can't leave it for a moment." Remember? ”

"Remember!" Xijun whispered yes.

"Xijun, the forbidden is no better than other places, whether I am or your father and ancestors, they may not be able to protect you, you have to learn to protect yourself." Holding Xijun in his arms, Huo Guang explained in detail, "Of course, we will try our best to protect you, but if one day, no one can protect you, such a thing...... It's your last protection. Looking at his granddaughter's ignorant appearance, Huo Guang stroked her soft forehead: "It's okay if you don't understand, put it away closely, don't let others know." Later, you will understand. ”

"Oh!" Xijun nodded and wrote down all of her grandfather's words, even though she didn't understand most of them.

"Let's eat!" Huo Guang chuckled, touched her hair, and motioned for her to continue eating.

- She's too young to understand anything......

- She won't understand what it means for her to enter the palace......

——From the moment she entered the palace, she was the bargaining chip of the Shangguan family against him.

- She will no longer be under his protection!

"The etiquette is ready, the moon is auspicious, and the word is announced."

After the three plus, the liquor, and the three Jiao, Huo Guang stood in the east and solemnly congratulated him.

Xijun faces south and stands on the east of the west steps, with three kinds of long hairpins of jing, horn and jade on the round bun, and is dressed in a black robe.

"The word Kongjia, the fashionable person is more appropriate."

The sun is rising, and under the heavy ceremonial clothes, Xijun has a solemn face, but he is even more immature. Huo Guang's heart suddenly tingled, but he couldn't help but complete the last step of the ceremony.

"It is advisable to be fake, and it will always be protected, and it is said to be a gentleman."

——Huge people, dressed in fine clothes. The son of the Marquis of Qi, the wife of the Marquis of Wei, the sister of the East Palace, the aunt of the Marquis of Xing, and Tan Gongwei. (Note 3)

"Jieyu Xuanxia?"

Du Yannian took the note handed by Huo Guang, only glanced at it, and then exclaimed, but when he saw Huo Guang looking at him with a smile, he couldn't help laughing twice, returned the note with both hands, and said softly: "When you enter the palace, Jieyu will announce it, it seems that the middle palace must be the grandson of the general." ”

Huo Guang didn't take the note presented by Shaofu, motioned for Du Yannian to put it on the lacquer table, helped himself up, and paced back and forth in the study.

Du Yannian sat on the couch, looking at Huo Guang's obviously irritable demeanor, and didn't need to think much to understand the reason: "The general doesn't want his grandson to be the middle palace?" ”

"Can you still leave me up to me?" Huo Guang stopped and asked rhetorically, glancing at his cronies who asked knowingly with dissatisfaction, "Besides, since you have entered the palace, of course Xijun will be the queen!" ”

Du Yannian bowed his hand: "Then why is the general like this?" ”

Huo Guang was stunned for a moment when he asked, but he smiled, turned back to the lacquer table, and sat down on the square lacquer scale: "Why am I like this?" You know? My military Sima, this is the note of the Shaofu after the palace ordered by the court. ”

"Is this what the county magistrate meant?" Du Yannian couldn't help but stare in, "Didn't you mean the eldest princess?" ”

Huo Guang shook his head and denied it - he still believed Zhang He's judgment.

Du Yannian thought for a while, and immediately understood Huo Guang's worries: "The general is worried, the county officials are dissatisfied with the auxiliary ministers' governance?" ”

"Isn't it?" Huo Guang smiled lightly, "Shangguan Ji made a clear posture and fully supported the county official, and the county official's move was ...... Vote for the reward? ”

Du Yannian frowned: "The general is too worried, the big Sima is in charge of the inner court, and the soldiers and seals are all in the hands of the general, what can the county officials do?" ”

- Even the emperor's six seals are in Huo Guang's hands, is it necessary?

"Look at this again." Huo Guang handed him another note.

"Riding the Captain?" Du Yannian was awe-inspiring.

——The rank of the cavalry captain is more than 2,000 stones, he belongs to Guangluxun, and he is a superintendent of the cavalry, and his position is very heavy.

"Shangguan An has been the Yulin Order for three years, and he has been relocated to the cavalry captain......" Huo Guang chuckled, "I can't refute it......"

"General......" Du Yannian said thoughtfully, "Or, this is what the Shangguan family meant." ”

Huo Guang was silent for a moment: "Is there a difference?" ”

Note 1: Weak breath, a humble name for one's daughter.

Note 2: gourd, the ancient name of the gourd. (Confessionally, the word gourd did not appear until after the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and I actually used it directly in the previous article...... Tear...... I modified it to ...... ）

Note 3: There is no clear procedure for the ceremony, and all dialogues and procedures are based on the "Etiquette. Shi Guanli", please do not delve into it.
