Chapter 307: Old Man Guo
Guo Xingyu's house is about 10 kilometers away from a mansion outside Huzhou City, behind this mansion is a huge barracks, spread to a depth of more than 30 kilometers, the east is the port, from here less than 10 minutes can directly reach the Bund, the north is directly connected to Suzhou, the south is next to Jiangzhou, only one side is facing Huzhou City, no matter where you go is accessible in all directions.
And Guo Xingyu's mansion is much more low-key than that in Huzhou City, it is completely relying on the Dahua style building, the mahogany gate, and a plaque on the door that reads the word "Guo Mansion", and there is a large school field on the side.
Guo Xingyu's car stopped at the intersection, and the two guards in armor at the door walked over with two ninety-five styles on their bodies and saluted Guo Xingyu.
"Battalion commander, you're back." The other party stepped forward and did not call Zhou Ruo a young master, but directly reported the title.
Guo Xingyu walked out of the car and returned to the other party with a military salute.
"Who is this?" The other party also discovered Zhou Ruocheng.
"This is the captain's guest." Guo Xingyu said.
When the other party heard that it was the commander's guest, he also nodded and returned to his post.
Guo Xingyu and Zhou Ruocheng also walked in.
As soon as he walked into the front hall of Guo's mansion, Zhou Ruocheng was shocked by the scene in front of him.
Generally, the front hall of the family is generally a little decorated in the middle of the river, or more professional decoration of the family.
For example, there are eighteen kinds of weapons in the front hall of the dart game, and there are a few dye vats in the front hall of the dye shop, and the rich people may dig a pond or something.
But the front hall of Guo Xingyu's house subverted Zhou Ruocheng's perception of the front hall.
As soon as I walked in, I was greeted by an obstacle made of sandbags, in the middle was a Maxim heavy machine gun, and on the shelves on both sides were also a long spear, all Mosin Nagant were neatly placed there, and the side halls on both sides were also of a unified design, with small doors open, as if as long as there was an order, how many people would be killed directly from both sides.
"This..." Zhou Ruocheng was also a little surprised when he looked at this posture, after all, this posture was the first time he had seen it.
"Don't worry about Brother Ruocheng, these guns are just pretending, after all, no one will use the guns of the next era in this era, right?" Guo Xingyu said.
"Then the guy with the pestle at the door is not an ornament, is it?" Zhou Ruocheng pointed to the muzzle of the Makqin gun and asked.
"Oh, this is mainly because if our position is breached, then this home is the last line of defense of our army, and this is our last position, my grandfather said, the last battle, we must use the most classic weapons." Guo Xingyu walked to the side of the machine gun and said with a righteous face.
"Oh. . . Such.. Zhou Ruocheng also can't understand it, maybe this is the so-called romance of men.
With such a baptism in the front hall, Zhou Ruocheng was not surprised, and walked into the living room to take a look, sure enough, there was a miniature version of the road model of Huzhou City and the surrounding areas in the living room.
"Oh, this is mainly because my father is not very accustomed to using information warfare, so we arranged these maps according to the habits of their command back then, if Brother Cheng wants to see modern weapons, I can take you to the position to have a look, our front-line command post is full of information equipment." Guo Xingyu said.
"Okay, okay, okay, I'm just sighing, we're mainly here to see your father, aren't we?" Zhou Ruocheng also said with a wry smile.
Guo Xingyu also nodded, "Come to Brother Ruocheng's side, please." ”
After passing through the living room, I came to the inner hall, which was somewhat homely, and the servants in plain clothes were busy shuttling back and forth.
Wrong! These servants are all like tigers, and they seem to have pistol holsters around their waists! How ready is this old man Guo!? Zhou Ruocheng was a little devastated.
"Steward Li, where is my father now?" Guo Xing
Yu asked a man who looked relatively normal, but had a scar on his face.
"The master is in the study now, is this Mr. Zhou?" Steward Li asked.
Zhou Ruocheng also hurriedly saluted.
"Yes, we're going to see my father now." Guo Xingyu said.
"I know, Mr. Zhou, it's not too early, if you don't dislike it, you can eat at our house in a while." Steward Wang said.
"Uh... How embarrassing is this? Zhou Ruocheng also shirked a little.
Just when the two of them were about to continue to shirk, someone in the study suddenly shouted, "Who is making noise outside?!" ”
This shout was like a lion's roar, which frightened Zhou Ruocheng.
Guo Xingyu hurriedly stepped forward, "Father, it's me, Zhou Ruocheng, I've already invited it." ”
"What?!" There was another roaring question in the room, and then an old man came out of the study, with the same voice, about a height of about one meter eight, his hair was combed, his temples were a little white, and the wrinkles on his face were carved out, but he looked old at all, but he looked unusually hard, although he was wearing ordinary clothes, he always felt that there was a kind of bearing, which was a kind of bearing as a soldier, which could not be covered up no matter what he worn.
The old man walked out, and his resolute eyes stared at Zhou Ruocheng at a glance, as if he was examining something.
"Meet Commander Guo, Xiaomin Zhou Ruocheng, I don't want you to worry about Xiaomin, Commander Guo, Brother Xingyu's invitation is sudden, I don't have any empty hands, and when I come back, I will definitely bring our Jingzhou special brewed soju to honor your old man." Zhou Ruocheng bowed his head.
Regarding the piece of flattery, Zhou Ruocheng really didn't lose anyone, and by the way, he also prevented him from looking at Old Man Guo and feeling empty.
"Since I asked you to come and bring something? Hypocrisy. Old Man Guo said, and then asked, "That's Zhou Ruocheng?" ”
"It's Xiaomin." Zhou Ruocheng replied.
"You look up and talk to me." Old man Guo said.
Only then did Zhou Ruocheng look up at Old Man Guo.
The eyes that seemed to be about to take Zhou Ruocheng to slice finally became soft, and the original serious eyes suddenly became kind, and he stepped forward, "Little Brother Zhou, I can be regarded as looking forward to you." ”
As he spoke, he personally helped Zhou Ruocheng up, looking at the old man who suddenly became cheerful, Zhou Ruocheng also had some doubts in his heart, but at this time he could only echo and laugh.
"Uh... Master Guo. It's the first time we've met, right? Zhou Ruocheng bowed his back again.
"Yes, it's the first time we've met, but it's not the first time I've heard of you." Old Man Guo said with a smile.
"Ah, all my has reached your old ears?" Zhou Ruocheng smiled bitterly: "It's too shameful." ”
"What's there to be ashamed of here, the big husband stands up to the sky, and he has to admit what he has done!" Old man Guo said.
"Yes, yes, sir, that's what you said." Zhou Ruocheng nodded only slightly.
"This is not the place to talk, come, let's go into the house and talk." After speaking, Old Man Guo took Zhou Ruocheng with one hand and walked inside. "I have a lot to say to you, don't leave today, let's eat at our house before leaving, that Li Guang! Count Brother Zhou's rice as well! ”
"Yes, sir." Steward Li saluted and walked away.
Zhou Ruocheng was also half-pushed and half-taken to the study by Old Man Guo.
As soon as I entered the study, I saw a set of gilded armor on a shelf, a sword on the side, a dead wall of war books on one side, and as for the rest, it was a table and a chess board on it.
"That little brother Zhou, do you know how to play chess?" Old Man Guo asked.
"Uh... I know how to get off, but I'm not very good at it. Zhou Ruocheng replied.
"Or will we have a game?" Old Man Guo asked again.
"Father, today we are going to talk about business, this chess matter, I still hope you can postpone it for the time being." Guo Xingyu said on the side.
"Eh~ Brother Xingyu, why bother, it's rare for Master Guo to have this
Interest, how can we fall into the nature of the lord? Isn't it just a game of chess, just a game? Zhou Ruocheng said with a smile.
Then Zhou Ruocheng ignored the dissuasion in Guo Xingyu's eyes and sat in front of Old Man Guo, "That Master Guo, explain in advance, I really haven't done much, you have to be merciful." ”
"It's okay, it's okay, I'm also playing after dinner, let's just talk about it." Old Man Guo smiled, "Brother Zhou, this red side goes first, you go first." ”
"You are an elder, you go first." Zhou Ruocheng also shirked.
"Eh, what's on the chessboard? According to the rules, you will go. Old man Guo said again.
"You're welcome." Zhou Ruocheng was not polite anymore, and directly set up the first cannon.
Old man Guo also jumped off the horse and started the regular start.
Guo Xingyu stood aside and watched the two of them go back and forth.
Although it is said that the two are playing chess, they are not idle.
"That little brother Zhou." Old man Guo said.
"Eh, you say." Zhou Ruocheng replied.
"I want to thank you for something the other day." Old man Guo said.
"Oh? I don't remember anything I need to remember about Master Guo. Zhou Ruocheng replied.
"It's my daughter-in-law's Luoying." Old man Guo replied.
"Princess?" Zhou Ruocheng1 was also stunned for a moment: "Old man? What's there to thank you for? ”
"You still said it's okay, Luoying, I started to watch grow up, this girl just has a tendon, she didn't care about the things around her, what she thinks about every day is to serve the court, eh, the more I look at it, the more I like it, our family Xingyu has always liked Luoying, for her, he is so hard-working, and this is why there are too many people." Old man Guo said.
Zhou Ruocheng glanced at Guo Xingyu on the side, Guo Xingyu just lowered his head, this was the truth, and he didn't refute it.
"Brother Xingyu works so hard, I guess Master Guo, you are also very happy in your heart, right?" Zhou Ruocheng said with a smile.
"Our old Guo family also has cultivated for eight lifetimes, and it is such an opportunity to cultivate it, so that Luoying has become the daughter-in-law of our family." Old man Guo said.
"That also shows that Brother Xingyu is good enough to enter the eyes of the emperor, so he is willing to marry the baby to him." Zhou Ruocheng said again.
"But then again, although it is said that likes are liked, these two are twenty years old, and their relationship is still improving, which is somewhat anxious." The old man said again.
Sure enough, it's a family, and the direction of this anxiety is also an aspect.
"Old man, this princess is your family's appointed daughter-in-law, what else are you worried about?" Zhou Ruocheng said with a smile.
"That's right, there is no improvement between the two of them, no matter how anxious we are, it's useless, it's also thanks to you, Brother Zhou." Old Man Guo said with a smile.
"Thank me? Thank you for what I do? Zhou Ruocheng suddenly became a little innocent and looked at Old Man Guo.
"You're still pretending to be with me, aren't you? If you hadn't come up with an idea, I think the two of you would still want to meet strangers by now. Old man Guo said.
"I just had a bad idea." Zhou Ruocheng smiled and slapped the horse forward, "General." ”
When the old man Guo saw it, he pushed the taxi up and pressed Zhou Ruocheng's horse's feet, but Zhou Ruocheng's horse jumped to the side and ate one of the old man's cars.
"Oh roar, this guy is good." Old man Guo smiled, but he also ran sideways to knock out Zhou Ruocheng's horse, exchanging a horse for a car, it seemed that Zhou Ruocheng earned it, "But no matter what, thank you, I still have to thank you." ”
"There's nothing to thank you for." Zhou Ruocheng smiled.
"But then again." Old Man Guo rushed down the cannon that knocked out the horse again, and went directly to the bottom line, "What is the relationship between you and this Luoying, little brother, this week?" ”
"Huh?" This question also made Zhou Ruocheng stunned for a moment, and looked up at Old Man Guo.
"What are your intentions in helping to match my son and daughter-in-law so much?" The head cannon that Old Man Guo had been putting in front of him went down, and the horse that was originally used to watch the horse's mouth was also taken by Zhou Ruocheng to draw the car. "General."
