Chapter 235 Staying in the Xu Mansion
"Cousin Jia'er!"
Guo Jia heard the voice and looked back, only to see Xu Song's eldest son Xu Tong and Xu Song's brother Xu He's second son Xu Bing leading a number of men and horses to the Zhongxin Marquis's mansion. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Cousin, how's it going? Are you hurt? Xu Tong looked at the mess all over the ground and asked.
Guo Jia looked at him apologetically and said, "Brother Lao is worried, but it has affected so many family members!" ”
Xu Tong said something softly to Xu Bing, Xu Bing walked to one of the family members and comforted him softly: "After returning to Xu's Mansion, there is a doctor to treat the brothers in hand, and those who are unfortunately killed go to the account office to receive the settlement fee!" ”
After hearing this, Guo Jia hurriedly added: "There is also the Loyal Marquis Mansion!" When this matter is finished, Guo Jia will personally send it to Xu's mansion! Brother Xiao, how is it outside now? ”
Xu Tong said: "The thieves have retreated, and the government is now searching everywhere for the black-clothed people who didn't have time to escape. My sister has suffered such a heavy blow here, so let's go back to Xufu with me to live for a while! ”
Guo Jia glanced at the mess in the room, and politely refused: "Brother is thoughtful, but don't worry, this house is full of rags, and someone always needs to clean it up!" ”
Xu Bing echoed: "Sister doesn't have to be so polite, now is not the time to be reckless, the thief doesn't know when he will come back, my sister used her wits to hit the enemy hard, it's hard to guarantee that the enemy won't come to retaliate!" Leave two people here to clean up! ”
Guo Jia thought for a while, saluted, and said, "In this case, my sister will thank the two brothers!" ”
Xu Tong was an anxious child, so he immediately called someone to help Guo Jia's sister and brother clean up their things. Half an hour later, Guo Jia's sister and brother went to Xufu with their personal girls Hongyi and Wenxin, as well as the escorts Wanli and Shaoling.
Cai had already led everyone to stand at the gate to greet them, and when the Guo Jia sisters got out of the carriage, Cai choked twice, and wiped her tears. The Guo Jia sisters saluted, and Cai said ashamedly: "It's hard for your sister and brother!" Now that your uncle has just left, the thieves have come to the capital to make trouble again, and you blame your aunt, this body is not good, as soon as you lie down, it is an endless medicine jar, and even your sister and brother can't protect it! If you have any longs and two shorts, so that your aunt will go in the future, how will you explain it to your uncle······"
Guo Jia helped Cai's family, choked up and said, "What nonsense is my aunt talking about!" My aunt has worked hard all her life, and she will live a long life! The three of us sisters and brothers have inherited too much love from our aunt, and my aunt has treated us well enough······"
Guo Sheng held Cai's hand and comforted him softly: "Uncle should take care of herself, don't cry!" Our brother and sister are all right! But my aunt, have you been harassed by thieves? ”
Cai said: "No, the Holy Lord sent soldiers to protect him, and the thieves don't have the courage!" Let's stop standing stupidly at the door, let's go in first, and go in and put incense on your uncle!" ”
The Guo Jia sisters lived in Xu's house. The day later, Guo Jia learned that when there was chaos in the city the day before, Guo Minzhi, Guo Sheng's fiancé Chu Rui and others had sent people to Guo's mansion, but there was more chaos on the road, and the government happened to block the only way to the Zhongxin Marquis' Mansion to arrest the man in black. This is why Xun Fu finally decided to withdraw his troops.
Guo Jia's heroic deeds of repelling the men in black with only these dozens of people soon spread in the city. Guo Jia became famous in the city, and received countless praises in an instant, and even the late Guo Wangzhi was mentioned again by the forgetful world, and people sighed that he taught his son well!
In addition, the biggest surprise for Guo Jia was that Mrs. Chen took the children of the Chen Mansion to General Xu's Mansion with rich gifts to thank Guo Jia!
It's just because, among the people brought by Mrs. Chen, there is a Chen Yu who stands out from the crowd!
Only then did Guo Jia understand that the old lady Chen whom he saved by chance was Chen Yu's grandmother!
So...
Wonderful fate!
Guo Jia lived in Xu Mansion, and Cai, as the head of the family, received Mrs. Chen very warmly. Mrs. Chen praised Guo Jia, and when Cai heard it, she smiled as if she was praising her daughter. Chen Yu has been standing silently behind Lao Taijun, Guo Jia is also standing quietly behind Cai, the two of them looked at each other, but until Lao Taijun left, the two of them did not say a word.
Not many days after the chaos in the city, the body of the great general Xu Song was transported back from outside the gate. The battle was so great that the people of the whole city were moved!
Guo Jia originally thought that even if this "body" was sent back, it would just be a well-dressed mound or an unrecognizable corpse, just because this was not the real Xu Song, Xu Song was still alive, this was just a plan that Wei Lan had discussed with Xu Song in advance.
However, in order not to let everyone see the slightest flaw, on the day she greeted her at the city gate, she still went with the people of the Xu Mansion to wear linen and filial piety.
After the team transporting Xu Song arrived, everyone in the Xu Mansion knelt on the ground, crying silently. Cai Shi was even worse, she hugged Xu Song's coffin, and immediately cried, almost fainting several times!
Although Guo Jia's heart was not very sad, looking at the crying people in front of her, her heart was also very uncomfortable!
She couldn't tell them that she had been outside the border a few days ago and had seen Xu Song; What she couldn't say was that Xu Song was actually not dead at all, all of this was just a ploy!
She looked at the crying Cai, who was guarding at all times, for fear that she wouldn't be able to think about it for a while, so she followed. She glanced at Wanli in the crowd, and saw that he was fidgeting on the side, and the expression on his face was about to speak, but when he saw Guo Jia's gaze, he quickly avoided it.
Guo Jia felt strange, but at the moment he didn't bother to ask him what happened, so he went with him.
The mighty men and horses of the Xu Mansion escorted Xu Song's coffin back to the Xu Mansion, and the mourning hall had already been set up in the house. After the coffin was placed, Cai knelt in front of the coffin and cried again!
According to the custom of Bactria , the coffin of the general who returned from afar could not be closed. There is a small gap in the coffin so that the family can see each other one last time when they return home.
After reciting a spell for the mage who had passed Xu Song's soul, the lid of the coffin slowly opened under the gaze of everyone in the Xu Mansion. Guo Jia expected to see a pile of clothes worn by Xu Song, but as the lid was lifted, a pair of feet were displayed in front of everyone. Guo Jia's heart tightened, and he secretly thought, this may be another soldier who died in battle! is also an admirable man!
Originally, it had been delayed for a long time on the way, and it was expected that it had long since decayed, but as the lid was lifted, a fragrance slowly wafted in, and it seemed that the body was well preserved. (To be continued.) )
