Chapter 021: After the Storm

The burning of the national mansion is a big event, although the surface is calm, but in the officialdom, it is definitely no less than a super earthquake, even the emperor, also got the news for the first time, when the British public entered the palace violently, other officials also entered the palace one after another, there are accusations, self-justification, throwing off the involvement, fanning the flames, and making noise are all turned upside down.

But no matter what, this is all in the Imperial City, and out of the Imperial City, everyone is silent, still as if this has never happened.

Guogong has entered the palace, and the Guogong Mansion is taken care of by the eldest lady Zhang Cuiyan, and the chaos of last night is long gone, and the entire mansion has become orderly again.

Zhao Xing returned to his courtyard and said to the people who fled with him: "What happened last night, I think it has passed for the time being, no matter how stupid the enemy is, he will not come back." According to my estimates, the enemy's goal may have been achieved, and the matter may end there. ”

The little fat man asked in surprise: "How does my brother say that?" Desperately chasing and killing us, not hesitating to chase into the British government, and not killing us, will they give up? ”

Zhao Xing shook his head helplessly: "I don't understand the chaos either, but my intuition tells me that this matter has passed, at least in our place, it is in the past, and everyone can return to normal life with peace of mind." ”

Guo Guangsheng, who changed into the Confucian shirt given by Cui Yan again, also became normal, and when he heard Zhao Xing say this, he also nodded calmly at that time: "Lord Zhao is right, for our affairs are in the past, but how much turmoil will be set off in the court, then it is not something we should take care of, what can be managed, let's continue to live our lives." Then he arched his hand to Zhao Xing: "Thank you for rescuing and taking care of you, and please help me again." ”

Zhao Xing asked curiously: "What are you busy?" ”

Guo Guangsheng said: "I also ask the adults to borrow a chair at the next table, a set of four treasures in the study, and I will take my granddaughter to the street to write some letters and sell some calligraphy and paintings to make a living." ”

The little fat man asked in surprise: "The old gentleman still has this ability?" ”

Guo Guangsheng immediately said proudly: "I think back then, in the local area, it was difficult to find a painting." Then his expression changed gloomy: "It's just that I went into exile all the way, my wife died and my daughter-in-law died, and even the pen and ink for eating were robbed of my mouth, so I had such a situation." "It's embarrassing.

Zhao Xing said with a smile: "Old gentleman doesn't have to be like this, now you can go home with me." ”

"Can't bother the adults anymore."

Zhao Xing smiled helplessly: "It's not to bother, I'm also forced to do it." Because, Huang Gongzi explained that he will temporarily take in your grandson, as long as he doesn't say anything to let me go, I have to keep it like this, otherwise, I won't be able to make a difference. ”

Zhao Xingniang also came up and gave Guo Guangsheng a salute: "Uncle, I should be entrusted by others to treat it as my business." As the saying goes, you can't violate your promises. Although my cottage is simple, I still have to fulfill my promise, so please don't postpone it. ”

Guo Guangsheng thought for a while, stroked his beard and sighed: "Loyalty, righteousness, and promise are more from poor families, and my nephew and daughter-in-law have a good tutor." ”

The reason why he said this was that his granddaughter and Zhao Xing's sister seemed to be around the same age, and second, he promised Zhao Xing that he would still live in his house temporarily, and his mother was widowed, so if he was the same generation, of course it would be very inconvenient. I am a generation taller, and I solved all the future gossip.

The little fat man retained: "My house is big, let's live here, and get along day and night, and have a response." ”

Zhao Xing refused, and his mother thanked him politely: "Although your mansion is spacious, it is not as good as home after all." What's more, there is still a soul of the ancestor at home, and I can't bear it, auntie. ”

Wang Dazhuang stood up and said to Gao Sheng: "Master, let's go back and see the restaurant." ”

Gao Sheng immediately shook his hand like a windmill: "It's different now, I don't dare to hire a group of generals as buddies." ”

Yes, now that Wang Dazhuang and the other ten people are already in the forbidden army, Gao Sheng will assign a group of them to greet them inside and outside, which is really unreasonable.

Hearing Gao Sheng say this, everyone suddenly felt a sense of confusion, after all, Gao Sheng is at least stingy, but not mean, Xiufen is spicy and bold, and treats people sincerely, everyone has long regarded the restaurant as their home, and was rejected by Gao Sheng for a while, and everyone has a sense of homelessness.

The little fat man stood up with a loud voice: "I am your general, you are my subordinates, what else do you say, of course you live here with me." Then let's go to the street every day to find those real shitbucks, go to Xiufen's sister's house to eat and drink, and find Brother Zhao Xing to talk and fart, how happy. ”

was arranged like this, and everyone couldn't help but let out a cheer.

Gao Sheng took the hand of Gao Guangsheng, who was regarded as the righteous son, and asked with red circles in his eyes: "Originally, I had other thoughts about you, but forget it today, I Gao Pan, can I accept you as a righteous son?" ”

Everyone understands this, Gao Sheng lost his wife and no children, and he had a baby daughter, so he planned to pick up this orphan, but after careful observation, he cultivated it carefully, and recruited an elderly son-in-law in the future, so that the young couple inherited the ancestral business.

But seeing the changes in this day and night, he finally understood that his daughter Xiufen's heart had long been on Zhao Xing, and Zhao Xing's future should be great, and he couldn't grieve his daughter. Only then did it be decided that Gao Guangsheng would directly accept the righteous son.

Gao Guangsheng involuntarily glanced at Xiufen, a trace of loss in his eyes, but disappeared in a blink of an eye. took a step back, tidied up his clothes, solemnly knelt down in front of Gao Sheng, and arched his hand: "Father-in-law." Then he said with tears in his eyes: "I don't know who my parents are, it was my father-in-law who raised me as an adult, and you are my father." Then he kowtowed solemnly: "Dad-"

Just this sentence made Gao Shenglao cry, pulled Gao Guangsheng up, took him in his arms, and cried and shouted: "Son-"

Xiufen stepped forward with red circles in her eyes and gave Gao Guangsheng a blessing: "Sister Xiufen, I've seen my brother." ”

Gao Sheng put his arm around Gao Guangsheng with one hand, hugged his daughter with the other, and muttered to the sky: "Wife, look, we have both children and daughters." ”

The little fat man was overjoyed at the time: "Good thing, good thing, subordinates." ”

The ten generals immediately performed the non-standard military salute together and agreed together.

"Let's go, let's go to the restaurant together, help clean up, and then let's ask the uncle to clean up the banquet, and we celebrate the success of the uncle's family."

A stingy Gao Sheng nodded again and again: "Okay, what you want to eat, as long as it is available in this Beijing city, the uncle will make it for you, showing the skills that the uncle has not shown for many years." ”

Zhao Xing refused to go, because he still had to take the family home to settle down.

When everyone rumbled out of the door, Xiufen quietly fell behind, lowered her head and whispered to Zhao Xing: "After settling down, please bring my brother over with a family." Then he stuffed a small purse into Zhao Xing's hand, turned around and ran away to catch up with the team.

Zhao Xing pinched the small purse and looked at Xiufen's back from afar, and was stupid for a while, Xiufen is a good girl.

"If you have a love object, you won't be a human being if you spend your heart." An elegant voice came, and he raised his head sharply, but it was the eldest lady Zhang Cuiyan staring at him.

At that time, Zhao Xing hurriedly hid his hand holding the purse behind his back, embarrassed and didn't know what to do.

Hey? I accept my beloved's purse, why should I be embarrassed in front of her, as if I was a thief?
