172: Uncle Guo
Previously, when Lianchenghuo, known as "the first master of the meritorious army in Baiyujing" and the title of "Uncle Shenyong", rebelled, he once attacked the Son of Heaven. At that time, Father-in-law An was by the side of the Son of Heaven, so he didn't think about it, and stood up to protect the Lord as soon as possible, so that he was seriously injured by Lianchenghuo. After recuperating for a long time, I barely recovered.
Father-in-law An is so desperate and loyal to protect the Lord, the Son of Heaven naturally praises it greatly. Therefore, when the affairs of the desert world came to an end, after the Son of Heaven returned to the palace, he rewarded Father-in-law An heavily.
Gonggong An himself is already an old minister of the Three Dynasties, and now he has gone one step further and has a very transcendent status in the palace. From the Queen Mother and the Son of Heaven to the ordinary palace maids, everyone was polite and even respectful when they saw Grandpa An.
Cheng Li and Father-in-law An also have some friendship. There is no conflict of interest between the two sides. So when they met suddenly, Cheng Li smiled, said hello to Father-in-law An, and said hello.
Father-in-law An also stopped, and saluted Cheng Li with a smile on his face: "The old slave sees the grandfather of the country." Grandpa Guo is blessed with Jin'an. ”
Cheng Li also smiled: "Don't dare to be." It seems that Grandpa An's health is very good. Congratulations. ”
Grandpa An snorted. He said, "Grandpa Guo, did you just come back from an errand, or are you going out on an errand?"
Cheng Li said casually: "I just came back from running errands." ”
Gonggong An smiled happily: "It couldn't be better, it couldn't be better." Grandpa Guo, since you have just returned from errands, you must have some free time now, right?"
Cheng Li groaned slightly and said, "That's indeed there." What, is there something wrong with my father-in-law?"
Grandpa An smiled: "It's not a big deal. It's just that there is a noble man who admires you very much. I also knew that the old slave finally had some friendship with Grandpa Guo, so I asked the old slave to be a boss and invited Grandpa Guo to drink two cups. ”
Cheng Liqi said: "What nobleman?"
Gonggong An smiled: "Uncle Guo." ”
Cheng Li was slightly stunned and said, "Uncle Guo?"
Father-in-law An nodded and said, "Yes, the Queen Mother also knows about this." And specially gave a few bottles of imperial wine to Uncle Guo, so that he could treat you well. ”
In the court of the Great Wei Dynasty, there were two uncles. One is the younger brother of the queen, the happy Hou Fang raised his eyebrows. His true identity is the Sect Master of the Demon Gate Blood River Sect. But the Son of Heaven was married only a few years ago. Therefore, the time when Fang Zhanmei became the uncle of Shangguo was only a few years.
In contrast, the other uncle is much older, having been in this position for more than thirty years. He is the biological brother of the Queen Mother, and Bian Bufu, who was named Xiong Xinbo.
However, compared with Fang Zhanmei's flamboyant and high-profile, this veteran national uncle is much more restrained. has always been behind closed doors, living honestly. When the people in Bai Yujing mentioned this, they all gave a thumbs up and praised the old uncle for being a sincere person.
Some time ago, the Son of Heaven was taken out of Baiyujing by the King of Extermination. At that time, there was chaos in Bai Yujing, and the dragons were leaderless. It was all thanks to the Queen Mother's timely appearance and calming the scene, so that the situation would not deteriorate completely.
At the same time, it was also the Empress Dowager who authorized Zhuge Taifu to let him supervise the government and let Cheng Li take full responsibility for rescuing the Son of Heaven. Therefore, speaking seriously, Cheng Li still owes the Queen Mother a favor.
Now the Queen Mother's biological brother wants to befriend Cheng Li, and the Queen Mother also knows about it. So for the sake of the queen, Cheng Li can't be too rejecting people thousands of miles away.
At that moment, Cheng Li smiled and said, "Xiong Xinbo didn't know that I would come back to Bai Yujing today, right?"
Father-in-law An said with joy on his face: "Of course I don't know." Uncle Guo doesn't know divination. However, Uncle Guo once instructed the old slave that whenever he saw Grandpa Guo, as long as Grandpa Guo was not busy, he should immediately invite Grandpa Guo to come to the door. He must have been waiting. As the saying goes, it's better to meet by chance, I don't know if Grandpa Guo may appreciate his face now?"
Cheng Li thought about it, anyway, there was nothing important now. Although he made an appointment with Huang Xiaoshi, it would take at least two hours for Huang Xiaoshi to go back to help arrange affairs, so that things could be completely arranged. He drank two glasses of wine with Uncle Xiong Xinbo, and he didn't delay anything.
At that moment, Cheng Li said happily: "It's okay." Then Father-in-law An, you have to arrange it. I hope it won't be too much of a hassle. ”
Father-in-law An was overjoyed and said: "No trouble, no trouble." Grandpa Guo, please, please. ”
At that moment, Gonggong An led the way and walked out of the palace with Cheng Li. Father-in-law An found a little eunuch and whispered a few words. The content is nothing more than asking him to hurry up and inform Uncle Bian Guo and the like. Then Cheng Li got into the carriage, and the two rode together, heading to the earl's palace of Xiongxin.
About half an hour later, the carriage stopped in front of Xiongxin's house. I saw that the middle door of the mansion was wide open, and Xiongxin Bobian was no longer wearing a Confucian shirt and stood in front of the gate to greet him. Seeing Cheng Li get out of the carriage, he immediately stepped forward to greet him, and enthusiastically admired him for a long time.
Cheng Li watched intently, and saw that this uncle was tall and had a short beard on his chin. Although he is over fifty years old, he is very well maintained, and his appearance seems to be around forty at most. Dressed as a monk, he looks like a crown of jade and has a graceful demeanor. It is conceivable that when you are young, you must be the kind of romantic character who can easily make a girl's heart move.
Uncle Bian Guo has a warm attitude and speaks well, which is very easy to make people feel good. In a few words, the distance between each other has been shortened a lot. After a brief greeting, Uncle Bian Guo invited Cheng Li and Father-in-law An to enter, but they did not enter the main hall, so they set up a banquet in the pavilion in the back garden to entertain Cheng Li and his father-in-law.
Cheng Li originally thought that Uncle Bian Guo wanted to see him, maybe he had something to help him. But at the banquet, Uncle Bian Guo was really just talking, and he didn't mean to ask Cheng Li for help at all.
Drink slowly, talk and talk. Before I knew it, the two jugs of wine that had been served were empty. Uncle Bian Guo was in high spirits, clapped his hands and called the servants over and asked them to serve wine again. Cheng Li was already slightly drunk, and said with a smile: "I drank a lot of wine today." It's too much, so you don't have to go on it again. It's not too early, and it's time for me to take my leave. ”
Although Uncle Bian Guo is still unsatisfied, he still wants to keep guests. But seeing that Cheng Li's intention to go was very strong, he no longer forced him to stay. Get up and see off the guests at the moment.
The three of them left the back garden and walked down the hallway to the front yard. After walking a few steps, Cheng Li suddenly floated under his feet, stumbled, and was almost about to fall. Fortunately, I held on to the wall in time, so as not to make a fool of myself in public.
Uncle Bian Guo hurriedly stepped forward and asked with concern, "Yan Guogong, are you drunk?"
Cheng Li was surprised: "Maybe I'm really a little drunk." I was very energetic just now. ”
Uncle Bian Guo said with a smile: "That is the imperial wine given by the Queen Mother, the first drink is not good, and it is very easy to eat." But the stamina is really strong. Yan Guogong drank a lot just now, and he must be a little drunk at this time. Otherwise, I immediately ordered the kitchen to make two bowls of sour and hot decanting fish soup. Yan Guogong and An Gonggong drank it and promised to relieve the hangover immediately. ”
