As soon as the sky was bright, Guo Shao woke up. Yulian rested on his arm, snuggled in his arms and slept soundly, her rhythmic warm breath on his neck. Guo Shao found that her entire arm had been numbed by her head, and suddenly felt that her left arm was completely numb; But the skin-to-skin blind date between the two made him feel that the taste was very beautiful, and for a while it was painful and happy.

He was ready to wake up early, and there was one more thing on his mind. Today's greetings to Xun...... Xiang Xun is like a noble person who appreciates him to Guo Shao, without Xiang Xun's recommendation from Prime Minister Wang Pu, whether Guo Shao can do it all at once in the inner hall; This favor must be remembered in my heart. Today, Xiang Xun held a banquet in Tokyo to invite his youngest son for a year-old drink, and Xiang Xun mentioned this a while ago; Guo Shao not only had to go, but he couldn't go too late.

It's just that the child is one year old, it's nothing, it's just that relatives and friends find a way to walk around and share the joys and sorrows of each family. But Guo Shao was also afraid of being late for negligence...... Since we have to keep in mind the favor of Xiang Xun, the affairs of other people's families are indeed a matter worth caring about.

He saw that Yulian was sleeping so soundly, so he carefully supported her head with his right hand, trying to pull out the pressed left arm.

Unexpectedly, Yulian was suddenly woken up, she yawned, stretched lazily with her eyes closed, opened her worried eyes and glanced at Guo Shao, and was stunned...... As if he had just remembered that Guo Shao slept with her last night, he immediately hugged Guo Shao's neck again and hugged him.

Guo Shao said kindly: "I have something important today. ”

"Press the ......" looks like the tone of the third tone, and the tone goes down and up, forming a tactful taste, a little coquettish.

"General Xiang Xun's kid is one year old, I have to go to Zuo You first and ask him what the etiquette is, I don't understand those things in the officialdom for the time being, I have to prepare." Guo Shao coaxed.

Yulian said: "Got it, can you lie down for a while...... I'm so soft, I've got up and cooked for you. ”

Guo Shao smiled: "Forget it this morning, I'll go to the shop outside and eat a little casually." ”

"Okay, let's be lazy this morning...... I really don't have the strength. Yulian said slightly apologetically, and then put her mouth to Guo Shao's ear and whispered, as if the legendary pillow wind is like this, right?

"How did you do it, I didn't have any pain at all...... Well, there's a little bit of it, but I won't care about it at the moment. Yulian whispered in a low voice, "I've had two times before, and both of them hurt terribly...... I always thought that that kind of thing was like giving birth to a child, and the pain was inevitable, but the woman had to endure it. ”

"What kind of thing?" Guo Shao blurted out.

Yulian blushed and pinched his shoulder, "You are still pretending to be confused." ”

Guo Shao didn't mean to pretend to be confused, just now he couldn't help but ponder Xiang Xun. Hearing this, seeing that she was shy and coquettish, she simply followed the nonsense: "Yesterday, I saw you frowning and blushing, and you cried. I thought you were so uncomfortable that you cried in pain...... Isn't it? ”

Yulian lowered her face and said, "You actually said this, I'm angry!" ”

Seeing this, Guo Shao hurriedly said: "Only if you feel that you are a victim, forced and helpless, will you be miserable." But this time, you and me, recall yesterday's events, are you a victim? ”

As soon as Yulian thought about it, she easily figured it out, and immediately said in surprise: "You mean, that kind of physical thing has something to do with being unhappy in my heart?" ”

"Of course it does." Guo Shao smiled. From letting her appear in the market in the morning to meet her face appeals, to trying to encourage her to make her feel cared for in the afternoon, the atmosphere, feelings, and mood are really created, can she be happy? If she hadn't been willing, she wouldn't have come to bed, because no one forced her, and there was no need to do that.

He can now feel Yulian's happiness, and said in his heart: Only those who have really despaired can understand true happiness; It's like only those who have tasted hunger know the deliciousness of food.

After being lazy to get out of bed for a while, Guo Shao got up straight and asked Yulian to sleep a little longer. He searched and searched, but there was not a single regular clothes that he liked...... When you go to eat the first birthday wine of the Xun family, you can't wear armor or official uniforms, right?

Moreover, Xiang Xun, as a general, is the Xuanhui envoy of the Southern Yuan, which is equivalent to the commander-in-chief of a large military region in the southern region, and is a person with status; There are definitely many guests who go to dignitaries. What do you say on such an occasion, dressed in old cloth?

Guo Shao plans to find a ready-to-wear store for a while, buy a dress and change it out. It's no wonder that Yulian didn't come here until noon yesterday, and there is only one person to take care of the housework, so she must have been in a hurry to pay attention to so many things...... Guo Shao also forgot to tell her yesterday that there was something today, and he was even more negligent, who would think of what clothes to wear?

……

Zuo You suggested that in addition to buying a little gift, Guo Shao only needs to give a gift of sixty yuan, the child's first birthday is a good thing, good things come in pairs, sixty is a double number and has the implication of being smooth. And in terms of quantity, it is just right, that Xiang Xun has eaten imperial grain for many years, and people are actually not short of this money...... There are too many, how can it be embarrassing to call those who have a higher position than Guo Shao, is it to show off their wealth and then compare others to be very stingy? If it is too little, Xiang Xun's care and friendship with Guo Shao seems light.

Guo Shao thought it was kind and adopted Zuo You's reminder.

As expected, as soon as I arrived at Xiang Xun's mansion in Tokyo, I immediately saw a lot of traffic and a lot of guests. From high-ranking officials and nobles to people from all walks of life who want to take advantage of other people's good things, they blocked the door of Xiangxun's mansion. The slaves were busy, and there was a lively atmosphere.

The large courtyard of the first three entrances can no longer accommodate guests. After Guo Shao reported his position, he was barely qualified to enter the inner courtyard, and the servant was also polite, saying: "The inner family has avoided it, but it is cleaner inside." ”

Guo Shao was ushered into a hall in the inner courtyard, where four tables were set. Several people at this table saw the newcomers, and they all got up to salute, and Guo Shao didn't know anyone. These people first talked about their official positions, and finally put their names on them...... There are many people, and Guo Shao has worked hard to remember them all, and some have memorized their names, but they have forgotten what they said before and what they are officials.

The same table didn't see his boss Wang Xianqi, and the inner temple made Wang Xianqi one level older than himself, could it be that the senior level was not at the same table and did not belong to the same circle? This table is already full, and Wang Xianqi obviously won't sit at this table. Guo Shao looked around for a while, but he didn't see Wang Xianqi in this hall.

After a while, I finally saw Wang Xianqi coming, he was not alone, there were eleven or twelve people in the group. The one who walked in front turned out to be the "military general's version" Bao Qingtian, Zhao Kuangyin!

Suddenly a group of people, except for Wang Xianqi and Zhao Kuangyin, the others, Guo Shao saw a young man who was very familiar...... It's not that I've seen it somewhere, but that young man and Zhao Kuangyin look so similar!

He has a flat face, a wide forehead, few eyebrows, large eyes, a nose with thick lips, a double chin, and a thick and short neck. The waist is thick and the arms are round, and the body is wide and fat.

It's almost a mold, but when the Creator made them, it seems that they were just the same shape and the type of "material" used was completely different. The young man is not black and rough at all, but the skin on his face is red***, white and red, and he looks very good. When the two of them walk together, it will give people the illusion that they are a little dazzled.

Is this young man Zhao Kuangyin's son or brother? Zhao Kuangyin should be less than thirty years old, and the young man is at least sixteen, seventy-eight, and he is a complete adult, so he should not be Zhao Kuangyin's son, it must be his younger brother; Otherwise, he can't look so much like Zhao Kuangyin, and he shouldn't go with Zhao Kuangyin.

Guo Shaoxin said: Could it be "Song Taizong" Zhao Kuangyi?

Sure enough, Guo Shao guessed correctly, and a group of people greeted each other and introduced each other when they came in; paid special attention to listening to the introduction of the young man, and sure enough, his name was "Zhao Kuangyi"!

Xiang Xun's banquet this time is really amazing, two generations of emperors of the Song Dynasty came to one room!

Zhao Kuangyin and the others were not at the same table as Guo Shao, but took a seat at the top table. Then those people called each other brothers, one "big brother" and "second brother", which made Guo Shao feel that they were like Yang Biao and Luo Mengzi. Wang Xianqi also talked and laughed in it, and he was very familiar with them.

But they are different from Yang Biaoluo Mengzi, most of them are middle-level generals of the forbidden army, and between the words, it seems that one or two of them are senior generals like "Yu Hou in front of the palace". Otherwise, you are not qualified to come to the inner courtyard of Xiang Xun's house.

Guo Shaoxin said: You are pulling a small hill in the forbidden army, does Brother Chai know?

The table here is the farthest away, and some people can't help but whisper: "Those people have long had a name called 'Ten Brothers', I heard that Zhao Kuangyin is waiting before he is going to ascend to the palace, and you have to pay attention after drinking wine for a while, don't offend people." ”

The voice of the voice was very small, but fortunately, Guo Shao was at the same table, but he heard it...... Ten brothers? Could it be referring to the "Ten Brothers of the Righteous Society"?

The side eye next to him whispered: "I didn't have much impression before, how did he rise so fast?" ”

The man just now whispered: "The skill of saving the driver is very capable, so the official family relies on ...... When the forbidden army returned to the dynasty, the official family wanted to rectify the soldiers and horses of the whole country, and let Zhao Yuhou eliminate and select the soldiers of the forbidden army in the name of 'Yuhou in front of the palace', leaving the elite into the army...... He can't move a military general with status; But if you offend someone and let him find fault, he won't move you, and the people under you will be unlucky. ”

"That's that, let's drink according to the amount for a while, don't persuade too much."

At this moment, I saw some more people coming to the door, and the host's family Xiang Xun was also there, Xiang Xun was happy at this time, and said in a loud voice: "Prime Minister Wang Cheng please first." Then he hugged his fists at the people in the room and said: "Colleagues, my house is shining today, ha!" I didn't expect so many people to come, if I have negligence and inconsiderate greetings, please do a lot of Haihan, don't go to your heart! Xiang is very happy in his heart, and he has no slackness! ”

Everyone stood up, and someone said, "Please sit down with Prime Minister Wang first." ”

Guo Shao couldn't figure out which Wang Prime Minister this Wang Cheng was, and there were Wang Pu and Wang Pu in the court...... But I think it should be Wang Pu, and the last time Xiang Xun said that he was looking for him to talk in front of the official family, it proves that Wang Pu and Xiang Xun have a good relationship.

He thought about it again, Wang Pu and the "Ten Brothers of the Righteous Society" did not come in all the way, so it can obviously be deduced that these people should have nothing to do with Wang Pu.
