Chapter 867: Letter from Lingzhou
"Later, Wei Yi will meet the ancestor." After Guo Xiaocheng entered the door, he bowed down on his knees respectfully.
Guo Huai was the first confidant general to be reused after Li Zhongyi started from Shu to train the township army, and was entrusted with the important task of guarding Lingzhou in the northwest.
Objectively speaking, although Guo Huai and Lingzhou Jun's envoy Yao Hong and Li Zhongyi do not have the name of master and apprentice, they have the reality of master and apprentice.
Guo Xiaocheng is Guo Huai's only son, and in terms of seniority, Li Zhongyi should be called his ancestor. Li Zhongyi is also the grandson-in-law of Ruan, so Guo Xiaocheng shouts the ancestor, in terms of etiquette, it is not an exaggeration.
Of course, the rivers and lakes have no size, just look at the fate of each person. When Guo Xiaocheng came to Fuzhou last time on his father's orders, Guo Huai repeatedly told him to be extra respectful of Ruan.
Zhe Congruan Fuxu smiled: "Haha, since the last goodbye, Wei Yi, your alcohol consumption has grown a lot, right?" ”
Guo Xiaocheng knew in his heart that the old lady almost let him be poured down last time, and he was always thinking about fighting wine again.
"Back to my ancestors, my father was worried that Wei Yi would drink and make a mistake, so he had already issued a ban on alcohol." Guo Xiaocheng pushed the risk to Guo Huai without slipping, the so-called father's life is greater than the sky, but let Zhi Congruan unable to find a reasonable excuse to fight with him.
In fact, Guo Huai's original words are that the old lady is old, in case of an accident caused by excessive drinking, who can afford such a big responsibility?
Zhe Congruan is already an old man, and he knew as soon as he heard it that Guo Xiaocheng was not telling the truth. However, the reason for this is understandable.
Lingzhou and Fuzhou are not too far apart, and the two sides often write back and forth, so Ruan is also very familiar with and understands the movements in Lingzhou.
In the entire northwest, not many people know about Guo Huai's name. But when it comes to the nickname "Ghost Slaughter", it is really known to everyone, because Guo Huai's hands are stained with the blood of the party members and the Khitans, which makes the foreign barbarians want to eat their flesh and sleep on their skin.
Not only that, don't look at Guo Xiaocheng's years of being weak and crowned, he has also broken out of the name of "blood wolf" in the northwest territory, which has terrified countless party members and Khitan people.
The famous Guo family's Xiaoyanei, in front of Zhecongruan, is as obedient as a pet cat, not to mention how beautiful this tastes!
Zhe Congruan couldn't help but squint a pair of old eyes, and he was secretly proud in his heart, he married Saihuaer to Li Zhongyi, which must be the biggest and most successful decision in his life.
"Xiao Weizi, this time I came to Fuzhou, don't leave, stay longer." Folded from Ruan's little guard, Guo Xiaocheng choked and rolled his eyes, didn't he just not accompany him to fight, as for squeezing him with words like this?
In recent years, Zhe Congruan has gradually stopped showing his face, and he has his own worries about major events in the army, he only needs to retire with peace of mind, and he can take care of his great-grandson.
It is precisely because of this that Ruan Chengri is so idle, it is rare for a clever ghost to come to the door, and if he doesn't take the opportunity to pass the idle time, his whole body will itch.
Guo Xiaocheng knew that he couldn't afford to offend the living ancestor in front of him, so he hurriedly said with a smiling face: "Old ancestor, my father will bring a letter to you when he is too late." ”
"Letter?" Zhe Congruan narrowed his eyes, looked at Guo Xiaocheng cautiously took out a thick letter from his arms, and held it to his hand with both hands.
After taking the letter, he gently rested it on the bookcase, not only did he not read the letter immediately, but called out loudly: "Come, tell the cook, prepare a few more good dishes with wine, the old man has not drunk for a long time." ”
Guo Xiaocheng secretly complained in his heart, if he drank a good thing from Ruan Zhen, would his immature shoulders be able to bear such a heavy responsibility?
But the problem is that Zhe Congruan's seniority is too high, not to mention his junior, who is several generations behind, even if his father Guo Huai comes, he can't stand such a toss.
Zhi Congruan caught a glimpse of Guo Xiaocheng's bitter gourd face, and he couldn't help but laugh secretly in his heart, even if you Li Jiajun are powerful and have a lot of money, hehe, in front of the old man, they are all juniors!
"Xiao Weizi, the last time you went to Kaifeng, did you see the old man's obedient heart?" Zhe Congruan made up his mind that he must continue to toss until Guo Xiaocheng bowed his head and drank with him.
Guo Xiaocheng naturally understands that the obedient heart in the mouth of the old lady can only be the young master born to the fold Saihua-Brother Xing.
At that time, Guo Xiaocheng had just turned nineteen years old and was twenty years old, and he was ordered to open the cover to see Li Zhongyi. When he went, Guo Huai didn't say anything, but solemnly wrote a letter to his family, respectfully asking Li Zhongyi to give Guo Xiaocheng the following words: Wei Yi.
After Li Zhongyi read the letter, he didn't say anything, but the reward he gave Guo Xiaocheng was extraordinarily rich, and he even rewarded two beautiful Goryeo maids.
No matter how smart Guo Xiaocheng is, after all, he is still too young, and the dumb riddle between the two elders was finally broken by the old lady in Fuzhou.
"Hehe, little baby, you're still too tender." The demeanor and tone of Ruan's speech at that time still make Guo Xiaocheng remember it vividly, "What does your father rely on to be able to control the military power of Lingzhou alone?" Little baby, you have figured out this big thing, and the rest is not a problem. ”
Guo Xiaocheng relayed the original words of the old lady to Guo Huai, but Guo Huai smiled and said, "The old man actually said that I am in charge of the military power of Lingzhou? Hehe, your Uncle Yao, the pacification envoy, eats dry rice? In non-wartime, the military orders issued for my father, without the signature of your Uncle Yao, are guilty of rebellion, who dares to carry them out? Also, the Judge Advocate General's Department under your Uncle Zuo is blind? ”
After Guo Huai's careful allocation, Guo Xiaocheng completely figured out that although the Li Jiajun and the Zhejia Army were both soldiers and horses of the feudal town, the whole system was completely different and could not be compared at all.
However, Guo Xiaocheng can partially accept the words of the old lady. The Guo family has today, and it really depends on the appreciation and promotion of Master Li.
Guo Huai often said that it is up to people to make things happen, things are in the sky, and wealth is up to fate, and it is indeed a great blessing that he can follow Li Zhongyi from the beginning.
"Back to the ancestor, when I saw your heart later, that kid was so heavy that he almost couldn't hold it." Guo Xiaocheng's words were very artistic, and he was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth with his beard, and praised repeatedly, "Good boy, you can really talk, and you love to listen to this when you know the old man." ”
In the end, Guo Xiaocheng still did not escape the "poisonous hand" of Zhecongruan, and the grandfather pushed the cup to change the lamp, and Leng drank more than a dozen jars of wine.
After the banquet, he returned to the inner study from Ruan's changing clothes, took out the crucial letter from his arms, and read it carefully by the bright candlelight.
That night, the servants who were in charge of personal service were surprised to find that the candlelight in the old lady's study had not been extinguished all night.
PS: There is time, and there is at least one more!
