Chapter 21 Shouqiu

"Skull, left front hoof. Good, good. Pei Guo caught the left front hoof raised by the yellow horse with one hand, and held the hoof hook in the other, and with a slight click, he had already hooked out the stone embedded in the horse's palm, and then took the mane brush to brush away the dry mud around him, and took care of it carefully.

Huang Qima seems to have a heart with Pei Guo, and he doesn't need to touch and pat him, just open his mouth, and the horse or side neck, or raise the hoof, and cooperate properly.

There was a little guy with a bucket standing on the side, and at this time, his eyes lit up, and he said, "Lang Jun, this horse is really a god!" Even in the palace of the king of Jiangyang, I have never seen a horse that can understand human language. ”

This is a courtyard in Pei Guo's new residence, a small courtyard, about three zhang square. In the bleak winter, the yard was empty, there were no flowers and plants, but there was a newly repaired trough and trough, and the whole was the territory of the yellow horse.

This whole house is just a small second entrance, located in the west of Luoyang City, Shouqiuli.

The east of Zhang Fanggou, the west of the retreat, the south of Luoshui, the north of the mountain, between the east and west two miles, the north and south fifteen miles, a vast piece, that is, Shouqiuli, is the residence of the great Wei clan, the folk number is "Prince Fang".

In the past, when the four seas were clear, that is, the people were also Yinfu, and these princes of the Yuan family in Luoyang were even more said to be "good at the wealth of mountains and seas, and the rao of living in rivers and forests". Therefore, in the Shouqiu where the princes and nobles lived, there were high platforms and pavilions, flowers and forests, and the wind was everywhere, and the heavy buildings were foggy, and the officials and nobles were constantly coming and going, and they were extremely extravagant.

Time has changed, the Great Wei Dynasty has gradually become chaotic, and the four seas are endless, especially the changes in Heyin, the Yuan Yuan has been annihilated, and this Shouqiu has also suffered a great loss of vitality, and it has lost its prosperity as it used to be. Even so, Shouqiuli is still high and deep, and it is not a place for ordinary people to reach. The hustle and bustle faded away, but there was no quietness.

Pei Guo actually lived in Shouqiu, the reason is simple--- if you look down from the sky, you can see that this second-entry mansion is close to a continuous giant mansion, and it is attached to the giant mansion. Then look at the main gate of the huge mansion, the plaque on the door is shining, and the four big golden characters of "Jiangyang Palace" jump on it.

Since the imperial party has reached a consensus, it will naturally step up its operation. Yang Chun and Yuan Yu came forward together and privately persuaded the former Taiwei and Jiangyang Wang Yuanji to help. The old man went out of the horse, he should not hesitate to rely on the old and sell the old, after a toss, all parties gave enough face, Pei Guo with a noble family background, and on the work of quelling the rebellion of the six towns, he was named the secretary Zhong Lulang, and the secretary of the provincial officials. As for the matter of his throwing, as expected, no one pursued it.

There's actually a bit of a bit of a focus here.

First, the secretary Zhong Lulang can really be regarded as an idle position among idle positions, and he has no authority at all. Yuan Ji got this position for Pei Guo, and no matter which faction in the DPRK and China did not take it to heart, this so-called low-key is also. Because of this, although Erzhu and his party knew that Pei Guo was once a member of the white-robed army, because of the face of King Jiangyang, no one did anything for a while.

Second, Pei Guo is the secretary Zhong Lulang, and his official position is not high, and he can't take his turn in the small court meeting every day, and he only has to go to the court once on the fifteenth. The chief official of the secretary province is the secretary supervisor Yu Jin, Pei Guo doesn't point on weekdays, Yu Jin doesn't ask, who cares? In this way, Pei Guo has a lot of time to go out. This is also the proper meaning of the question--- the imperial party knows that Pei Guo is very skilled, he is waiting for himself to be targeted by Erzhu's party, and it is inconvenient to make a living in those secrets, so he just uses Pei Guo as a spy. Pei Guo couldn't ask for it--- looking for "Ying Mei" in the vast sea of people in Luoyang, and the arrangement made by the imperial party for him can be called "tailor-made".

Since he settled down to be an official in Luoyang, Pei Guo always had to find a place to live. He is a "penniless" lord, where can he afford to rent a house? When looking for someone to help, when the imperial party is in the family, Pei Guoming wants to clean up the relationship in his face, so he naturally "avoids it". Yu Jin was worried that Erzhu and his party were jealous of Pei Guo's former white-robed army, so he simply asked Yuan Yu to find Yuan Ji to help him again. Yuan Ji was also refreshed, and directly opened a separate courtyard in the corner of the palace, and temporarily made Pei Guo's residence. Yu Jin was overjoyed--- in this Luoyang City today, Jiangyang Wangfu is really a safest place.

Therefore, Pei Guo's new residence was originally a corner of Jiangyang Palace, small and small, but it was quite elegant. The materials are exquisite, the workmanship is fine, where the gable of the wall is illuminated, and the verandah flower door is readily available. Not only that, but Yuan Ji also sent a little maid and a maidservant. Now this Shouqiu Li Pei Mansion is also a little weather.

A few days ago, Pei Guo was running the official department, going to the secretary and supervisor, reporting and archiving, plus picking up the new house, he was quite busy for a while, and today he found free time, and went out of the city to the farmer to get the yellow horse back. I haven't seen each other for a few days, one person and one horse, it's really affectionate.

Pei Guo finished cleaning the horseshoe and was about to brush the horse's bristles again, when he suddenly heard the sound of cars and horses outside the door, and someone screamed: "The king is back home!" ”

"King Jiangyang is back?" Pei Guo was stunned for a moment, and then shouted hurriedly: "Quick! Go open the door! ”

The little guy left in response, Pei Guo threw away the brush, wiped his hand on the robe a few times, and followed quickly.

When the door of the house opened, Pei Guo grabbed it out, ran quickly in the alley, and at the corner, he saw Jiangyang Wang Yuanji getting out of the carriage. Pei Guo stepped forward and bowed, and said, "Boy Pei Guo, I have seen the king." ”

Yuan Ji frowned: "Something?" ”

Pei Guo laughed dryly: "It's nothing." It's just a salute. ”

"Where do you get so many politeness? If you're young, don't you have anything else to do? After Yuan Ji finished speaking, he didn't look back, leaving Pei Guo to return in a huff.

Jiangyang Wang Yuan continued to run back and forth, seeking a position in the court for Pei Guo, and even borrowed the house to send servants, Pei Guo was grateful for this kind of affection. On the day he moved into this new house, he went to Jiangyang Palace to visit and wanted to thank him in person. As a result... But it was unsatisfactory, although he had never eaten a closed door, he was just cold and indifferent, and sent him away in a few words.

Yuan Ji, this old man is not kind, every time Pei Guo bumps into it, when he comes forward to salute, this old man is like this time, always ignoring, Pei Guo is very depressed, but he is helpless.

But if someone asks about Pei Guo, this old man is never ambiguous: "Pei Guo's father, Pei Zun, when he was in Luoyang in the past, he really forgot to make friends." The two of us have similar temperaments and like-minded interests, as if they were in the boyage period. I regret that the old man drove the crane, and I thought about it. Now that the son of an old friend is downcast and has come to vote, why don't I help? "Pei Shuye raised the clan to join Wei, it was almost thirty years ago, the time is long, Yuan Ji is talking like this, who will take the test?

It is normal for the son of a close friend to come to defect and take care of one or two. So those who inquired, whether intentionally or not, said, "I see." ”

If someone still asks, why did Pei Guo defect to Yuan Ji instead of looking for the Pei clan?

Just because after the Pei family came to the north, they were first in Luoyang, and gradually moved to various places, especially Guanzhong was the most --- Guanzhong's four surnames "Wei Pei Liuxue", and Guanzhong was actually the place where Pei's heirs prospered. In the present day, there is no branch of Pei Shuye in Luozhong. What's more, Pei Zun was not in harmony with the clan at the beginning, and left Wuchuan in anger, and today Pei Guo did not join the sect, which is also understandable.
