Chapter 289: A generation of famous generals who almost froze to death
Guo Xing's family can't say that they have suffered for a few lifetimes, and they are by no means people who can climb the high branches of the royal family, but Xianfeng just said that there is a sister of Guo Xing'a in the palace, which makes Guo Xing'a have a question mark in his head. However, the emperor stayed to eat, and Guo Xing'a couldn't say that he couldn't remember who his relatives were, so Lao Tzu didn't eat. I could only say goodbye to Su Shun and the others obediently, and then stayed to talk to Xianfeng and wait for dinner in the evening.
Xianfeng is also to give face, Yanbo Zhishuang Hall is where he lives, and summoning Guoxinga here is also to show his special favor to Guoxinga. Dinner is not eaten here, Xianfeng deliberately picked Ruyizhou. Ruyizhou has both palaces and temples, both the northern courtyard and the small garden in the south, the layout is exquisite and flexible, and the scenery is very elegant. After asking about Guo Xing'a's injury, and grinding his teeth for a while, Xianfeng moved to the Yanxun Mountain Pavilion in Ruyizhou, preparing to have two drinks with Guo Xing'a.
Xianfeng has a warm sedan chair to sit on, but Guo Xing'a can only follow on foot, so the infinite grace in Xianfeng's eyes has become a living sin when it comes to Guo Xing'a. There is only a close-fitting single coat inside Guoxing'a, and on the outside is a big official uniform that leaks from all sides, and the snot is frozen out. Yanbo Zhishuang Hall is not close to Ruyizhou, Guoxing'a bounced all the way and barely insisted, and when he arrived at the place, he was almost frozen.
As soon as Xianfeng entered the Yanxun Mountain Pavilion, Guoxing fell to his knees in a puff, and he kept trembling. His face was pale and expressionless, his lips were blue and purple, and his body curled up into a strange shape. Seeing Guo Xing's appearance, Xianfeng's face suddenly became ugly, how could he be careless as an emperor? Guo Xing'a looked very scared, and he was so afraid of inviting Guo Xing'a to dinner. It must be that there is a ghost in his heart, and he is afraid of being like this when he enters the deep palace and is worried that the ghost tricks will be exposed.
"This is the fifth brother! Long live the lord deliberately set the imperial meal, let our sisters and brothers reunite, the fifth brother is grateful for the grace of heaven, and it shouldn't be so unceremonious! Xian was full of doubts, and Guo Xing'a seemed to be evil again, neither of them spoke, and the scene was embarrassing all of a sudden. A fair-skinned young woman came out and asked about Guo Xing'a with concern, which was considered to have broken the deadlock, otherwise the two monarchs and ministers would be so stiff, but something big would happen.
This young woman is Concubine Yi, she is already shrewd and capable, and she knows Xianfeng very well, seeing Guo Xing's appearance and Xianfeng's face, she knows what Xianfeng is thinking. However, she knows that there can be no accidents in today's field no matter what, otherwise even if Xianfeng wins Guoxinga, a big chaos is inevitable. How can it be so easy to capture a general with a heavy army for no reason, the army that has lost its commander can do anything, and the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses of the Gu'an army will immediately kill Xianfeng.
"Go and help General Guoxinga get up!" Concubine Yi took the steps, but Guo Xing'a didn't react at all, just shivering on the ground, and her body curled up even more. Concubine Yi couldn't get started in person, so she could only send her personal eunuch An Dehai to support Guoxing.
"General Guoxinga, get up quickly! Long live the Lord and the concubine are waiting for you to eat! An Dehai smiled and came to help Guo Xing'a, but he was startled when he touched Guo Xing'a's hand, and Guo Xing'a's hand was as cold as ice.
When the eunuch was naturally not as ignorant as Xianfeng, he touched Guo Xing'a's hand, and then looked at Guo Xing'a's state and the clothes on his body, and immediately understood what was going on. This kind of cold day was summoned by the emperor, and the ministers who froze out of the sick, they eunuchs have seen a lot. However, it was the first time he had seen someone like Goxinga who almost froze to death. This is not to blame others, it is purely Guoxing's own doing. Others don't use their clothes outside, and they will definitely wear more thick ones inside, but Guo Xing'a has always been dressed in Western style, and his close-fitting clothes have collars, so he can't put on official clothes, so he only wears single clothes. He thought that there was a coat wrapped in him on the road, and when he saw the emperor, there was a stove in the house, so it would definitely not be cold. Which Cheng wanted to see Xianfeng once, and he had to stay in the open field for so long.
"Long live the lord, the noble concubine, General Guoxing'a is wearing too little, I'm afraid it's frozen!" After An Dehai judged that Guo Xing'a was stupid, he hurriedly returned to Xianfeng and his master.
"What?" Xianfeng is thinking in his heart how to take Guoxing'a, and then collect Guoxing'a's military power! Suddenly, after listening to An Dehai's words, he almost didn't fall off the chair.
"Back to Long Live Lord, General Guo Xing'a only wore a single coat inside, and the official uniform outside did not fit well, so he couldn't keep out the cold. If you stay outside for a long time, I'm afraid you'll freeze! An Dehai hurriedly said carefully.
"Quick! Pass on the Imperial Doctor! Xianfeng was a little crying and laughing, but he was also really anxious, if Guo Xing'a froze out in the palace, his plan to win over Guo Xing'a and the Gu'an army would all fall through. The royal banquet arranged by himself with good intentions, if it failed to entrap Guo Xing'a, but made Guo Xing'a feel that he was intent on rectifying him and had a grudge, it would be too nonsense.
"First help General Guoxinga to get up, go to the cool clothes, find a few warm clothes to wrap up, and pour some hot wine!" Concubine Yi also knew Xianfeng's worries, but Guo Xing'a was so cold that the imperial doctor was useless, just let him warm up quickly.
An Dehai and a few little eunuchs hurriedly set up Guo Xing'a from the ground. didn't care if it was rude in front of Concubine Yi, and took off Guo Xing'a's official uniform and close-fitting single clothes. Yi Guifei hurriedly turned her head away from looking at Guo Xing'a, but Xianfeng suddenly said "Huh", which caused Yi Guifei to be a little curious, and glanced at Guo Xing'a secretly, but when she looked back, she couldn't take it back. Guo Xing'a hasn't tossed lightly for more than a year, and although his body is thin and thin, it is all muscles. However, it is not the muscles that attract Xianfeng and Yi Guifei, but the scars on Guo Xing'a's body.
Goxinga has been fighting for more than a year, but in fact, the skin has not broken a few pieces, and these injuries are all just left from the melee with Montauban. It is precisely because of the short time that these wounds that are not deep in the flesh look very hideous. More than a month later, the gauze has just been removed, and the skin around the wound is still a little red. The five scars are not very deep, but they are all long, and the slender scars have a dense feeling, and there are almost no good places to be seen on Goxinga's front chest and back.
"Get dressed!" An Dehai saw that Xianfeng and Concubine Yi were looking at Guo Xing'a's scar, so he stopped moving. Supporting Guoxinga, like the exhibition, invite the two nobles to visit. Xianfeng looked at it for a while before reacting, and hurriedly asked An Dehai to quickly change into warm clothes for Guo Xing'a.
After putting on four or five layers of clothes and pouring three or five cups of hot rice wine, Guo Xing'a, who was already strong, slowly eased up. He put his fist on his forehead and leaned back in the chair for a while before he fully recovered. However, Guo Xing'a still clung to his clothes, as if he was afraid that someone would rob him.
"The slave is guilty, please punish the master!" Guo Xing'a slowed down for a while, only to find that Xianfeng had been looking at him crying and laughing, and hurriedly got up and knelt down and pleaded guilty to Xianfeng. The loss of honor in front of the emperor can be big or small, Guo Xing's level, as long as he doesn't scold the emperor in person, he will be fine, but the attitude still has to be there.
"Quickly help Yun to be idle, your body is important, you can rest again! Rest again! Today is a family feast, don't talk about those false courtesies! Xianfeng waved his hand again and again, and even let his personal eunuch Liu Ruyi come to help Guoxing.
"Thank you, master, the slave is ashamed!" Guo Xing'a was helped back to his seat by several eunuchs, and smiled at Xianfeng a little embarrassed.
"It's been cold recently, why is Yun Xian wearing so little?" Xianfeng was very curious, Guo Xing's behavior was too strange, and he had never seen it.
"Let the master laugh! Slaves have no clothes except military uniforms! Seeing that driving is a big deal, you must wear an official uniform, but the military uniform of a slave has a collar, and there is no way to wear it into the official uniform. has relied on official uniforms to keep out the cold, who would have thought that the official uniforms that Gong Wang Ye gave to his slaves are too ill-fitting, and wearing them is not much better than not wearing them! Guo Xing'a made a pun, not only explaining the reason why he was ugly, but also ordering Xianfeng, Yixin is good to Lao Tzu.
"The official uniform was given to you by Prince Gong?" Xianfeng didn't like to listen to it all of a sudden, and he didn't notice the problem of why Guoxing's military uniform had a collar.
"Back to the master, the slave was confused, and after the slave Ama was killed, the slave gave the ancestral official uniform to Ama for burial, and there was no official uniform at home. Later, the slaves did not wear official uniforms all the way to the war, and after receiving the will in Beijing, they began to look for official uniforms in a hurry, but the office did not have it for a while. It is also thanks to Prince Gong that he does not hold a grudge against the slave and generously saves the slave's urgency, otherwise the slave will see the driver today, but I am afraid that there will be a greater sin! "Guo Xing'a seems to be a little bit of a miss Yixin, otherwise Guo Xing'a, who doesn't have an official uniform, is really not good to see Xianfeng.
"It's ridiculous that the minions in the office actually let you, a first-class master, go to someone else to borrow official uniforms!" Xianfeng listened to Guo Xing's feelings for Yixin, and hated it so much that the roots of his teeth were a little itchy.
"After all, it's the slave himself who is ridiculous, and he has lost his official uniform, and he can't complain about others! The slave should not have received the things rewarded by the prince, but the slave didn't know anyone in the Jingshi, and without the help of the prince, the slave would be really embarrassed! "Guo Xing'a is looking forward to Xianfeng being jealous of Yixin! The more angry Xianfeng is, the more benefits he will give himself.
"You gave your official uniform to Ama for burial, this is a great act of filial piety, how ridiculous!" Xianfeng is still very sure of Guoxing's filial piety, as the saying goes, loyal ministers are filial sons, filial sons generally have very good character, and the probability of becoming loyal ministers is also very high.
"It's also Prince Gong's generosity! The slave is a stubborn character, and after Ama was loyal to the country, he lacked people to control him, and he collided with Prince Gong many times. This is a matter of losing the duty of a slave, Gong Wang Ye Mo said that he hated the slave, even if he punished the slave heavily, it should also be punished. However, Prince Gong did not remember the old evils, and helped many times in military supplies and personal matters of the minions, and the minions felt five guilty. That is, the younger brother who came out of the master's long live master* can have such a heavenly bearing! Guo Xing's last sentence was a small handful of Xianfeng, but his gratitude to Yixin was beyond words.
"Bastard minion, why did you put your pickled clothes on Yun Xian, and go and get my fox brocade fur!" Xianfeng listened to Guo Xing'a's various praises for Yixin, and his heart was very uncomfortable. But I can't blame Guo Xing'a, after all, Yi Xin is really very good to Guo Xing'a, and she can only scold the eunuch to vent her anger. Yixin can send official uniforms, and Xianfeng will naturally not be stingy with a fur.
"The master is generous, and the slave will not dare to receive it until he dies! How can the master's clothes be worn by slaves! Guo Xing'a hurriedly knelt down and excused himself, but he was thinking about what this fox brocade fur was.
"Don't shirk Yun Xian, what's the matter with a piece of clothing. Don't say that Yun Xian has made great contributions to the country, even if it is not successful, we are also relatives, and it is too common for relatives to send some clothes! The weather is cold, the clouds can no longer bear the cold, you are the pillar of the country, you must take care of your body! Xianfeng pretended to be generous.
"Thank you, master!" Goshinga's politeness is nothing short of a hypocritical diplomatic rhetoric.
The fox brocade fur was brought, and Guo Xing'a immediately threw the eunuch's padded jacket aside, and proudly put the brocade fur on his body. Although Guo Xing'a does not discriminate against eunuchs, he is still a little tired of wearing eunuch clothes.
"The fifth brother is dressed and fits!" Concubine Yi looked at Guo Xing'a with a childlike look on her face, and said with a smile.
"I forgot! Come and see you soon! This is my concubine Yi, the eldest sister of your second uncle's family, you are my brother-in-law! Xianfeng pointed at Yi Guifei and smiled.
"Sister?" Guo Xing's eyes almost didn't pop out, Yi Guifei Cixi was actually his relative.
