"The grace of the princess is great, and the concubine has nothing to repay. These silver taels also hope that Engong will not refuse. ”

The host family is destitute, and this money can be used to improve their lives. Guo Yi accepted it honestly and unceremoniously.

Assist Zhao's mother and daughter to pack up the goods and salute and say goodbye to them. Carrying the burden of dragon meat, he continued to walk in the direction of Zhending County.

"Eun Gong!" Zhao's shout came from behind, she was a woman, it was not easy to control the carriage, and her palm had been strangled by the reins. "Engong is going to Zhending County?"

"Hmm. I'll go home. ”

"In this way, we can give Engong a ride."

"Good. Thank you very much. Guo Yi is easy-going by nature and has always been happy to accept help from others. He put the dragon meat on the carriage, took the reins, and said, "I'll drive the horses." ”

"Thank you." Zhao bowed slightly and returned to the carriage. In the Han Dynasty, the carriage door was at the back, and there was no window in front, so there was no opportunity for the two sides to communicate along the way.

In the evening, we arrived at the county seat of Yuanshi, which was the seat of Changshan State, and the guards were very guarded, and the guards checked the pedestrians one by one.

In the memory of the host, the guards will not be embarrassed, and they will not be able to get oil and water anyway. But for the merchants, it is indispensable to exploit it.

The guards stopped Guo Yi's carriage and asked, "What's your name?" Where are the people? ”

Guo Yi arched his hand and said: "Grass people Guo Yi, people from Zhending County." ”

"Hey! Talking to Lao Tzu, do you dare to sit in the car? ! The guard reached out and grabbed Guo Yi's collar and pulled it violently.

Guo Yi was taken for a while, and he was immediately angry. Thinking that he is a modern aspiring young man, where can he stand this kind of bright oppression? Immediately stabilize your body, raise your hand and go to pinch the guard's neck!

"Stop!" An old voice sounded, and a white-bearded official approached, and the arrogance of the guards immediately turned into flattery.

Guo Yi quickly withdrew the hand that was about to hold the guard, and said to the official: "Grass people Guo Yi, I have seen my lord." ”

The official smiled and asked, "Do you remember who the old man is?" ”

Is it an acquaintance? Guo Yi quickly flipped through the host's memory, and the official's face flashed. Hurriedly got out of the car and saluted: "Juniors meet Lord Wang!" ”

Wang Guoxiang looked at him and was satisfied: "I have heard that you are uninhibited, it seems that it is all rumors." You are polite and courteous, a talent, Guo Hong's godson is well-organized! ”

This kingdom is now the number one person in Changshan Kingdom, Guo Yi's father Guo Hong has been the chief bookkeeper under him for 12 years, Guo Yi has met him several times when he was a child, and naturally he has some old feelings.

"The prime minister praised it. The younger generation does not learn and has no skills, which humiliates the family. ”

"Haha. Young people, it's always good to be humble and polite. The more Wang Guoxiang looked at it, the more satisfied he became, Guo Yi was the son of the old man, he naturally paid attention to it, but he had become a street gangster after hearing that his parents died. When I saw it with my own eyes today, I realized that it was all false rumors. looked at Guo Yi's outfit again, and said in surprise: "How did the virtuous nephew become a businessman?" ”

"It's not a junior's furniture." Guo Yi briefly introduced the ins and outs, omitted the part of cutting snakes, and only said that he returned from hunting, and the road was uneven.

"Good! Guo Hong gave birth to a good son! The kingdom shook his hands and laughed, and drank the order, "Set up a banquet and prepare wine!" The old man wants to entertain the son of the deceased. The virtuous nephew comes with me. ”

Wang Guoxiang took Guo Yi's hand and led him into the city. For the habit of holding hands of the ancients, Guo Yi was quite uncomfortable. But seeing that Wang Guoxiang was gray-haired, and he was right to be holding hands with his grandfather, he felt a lot more comfortable.

Along the way, the kingdom asked about poetry and books, and the host didn't learn and didn't know how to do it, how did he know this? However, Guo Yi has been familiar with Chinese classical literature since he was a child, and he has a strong memory, and the content is vivid. At present, the answers are fluent, without losing the demeanor of students.

"The virtuous nephew is brilliant and will be the pillar of the country." The kingdom was overjoyed, and he was familiar with poetry and books, and it was rare to meet someone with whom he could talk to him. liked Guo Yi more and more, and pulled him to sit in the main seat.

Guo Yi pleaded, "My lord." Zhao's mother and son were still waiting in the car, and they were allowed to settle down first. ”

Wang Guoxiang waved his hand indifferently and said unceremoniously: "But the widow of Shangjia, why should the virtuous nephew care." Just let them go back like that. ”

Guo Yi Zhengse said: "Everything has a beginning and an end. Since the younger generation has agreed to go along, they should do their best. ”

"Hmm......" Wang Guoxiang touched his beard and thought for a long time, and when he saw Guo Yi's resolute expression, he sighed: "The virtuous nephew is really a righteous man!" In this case, I invited Zhao's mother and son into the house and ate some delicacies. ”

"Thank you, sir."

Zhao's mother and son entered the house, and they ran all the way, and they didn't have time to make up, so they sat down in the last seat.

Wang Guoxiang looked at them carefully, and whispered to Guo Yi: "This mother and daughter are extraordinary, can the virtuous nephew be interested in accepting them?" ”

"Not really." Zhao's mother and son are indeed good-looking, but Guo Yi does not have the habit of accepting beauties when he sees them, and it is difficult to understand the behavior of people in the late Han Dynasty who casually marry wives and take concubines.

"Very good." Wang Guoxiang smiled, raised his glass and said, "Serve food to Zhao's mother and daughter." ”

The mother and daughter thanked them, then bowed their heads to eat and said nothing.

After three rounds of drinking, Wang Guoxiang chatted happily with Guo Yi. He said to the servant, "Go and bring the young lady." ”

A moment later, a gorgeously dressed and petite girl walked in. Wang Guoxiang beckoned her to sit down and introduced to Guo Yi: "This is the granddaughter of the old man, fourteen this year, to be in the boudoir." The old man wants to promise her to you as his wife, but I don't know what to do? ”

On the surface, it is an inquiry, but the attitude is unquestionable. Guo Yi felt an invisible pressure coming, and the power of the superior made him a little breathless. This is the exaltation of the kingdom against him. As long as he gets married, then he is his own family, and of course he will do more in his career. For a poor kid like Guo Yi, this is an opportunity for pie in the sky.

But he had to refuse, nothing else, he couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart! A fourteen-year-old girl has not yet developed well and has just had her first period, where can she take on the responsibility of having children, husband and children? I am also a modern person no matter how I say it, and the moral bottom line is very solid!

What's more, in this troubled world, even if there is no promotion from the kingdom, he can break through the sky.

Say no, but don't die. Euphemistically: "Thank you for your love." The younger generation's family is surrounded by walls, but they are afraid that they will wronged the young lady, so the younger generation refuses to do so. ”

Wang Guoxiang's happy face sank suddenly, and he raised his hand to beckon his granddaughter to retire. stared at Guo Yi and asked, "If you read poetry and books to your heart's content, you will have achievements." Is there any other reason? ”

Guo Yi looked at him calmly, neither humble nor arrogant: "The Huns have not been destroyed, why should they be at home." ”

"Hah!" Wang Guoxiang laughed and sneered: "You want to learn from the hussar general? Where is the turn of the marquis to get the children of the poor family? ”

Guo Yi is still a little naïve, where can he calm his dissatisfaction with rejecting such a big man with a few bold words? There were also many gentry and officials at this banquet, and he was equivalent to losing the face of the kingdom minister and the value of his granddaughter.

But the matter has come to this point, and we can only deal with it calmly. Guo Yi smiled slightly, and said indifferently: "I don't want to be a marquis, I hope Hai Boping is peaceful." ”

Wang Guoxiang was angry and married Guo Yi, which was worthy of him. Let him, a poor boy, struggle for decades. This kid is so unappreciative? And after being rejected today, gossip is indispensable for his granddaughter to marry again. He said coldly: "If there is no one to recommend, you will be useless if you are full of money!" You read a lot, why don't you understand the reason? ”

Guo Yi said proudly: "Born in troubled times, the younger generation is willing to be a centurion, how can he be a scholar." ”

Wang Xiang said sharply: "I'm afraid that no one will collect the remnants of the bones!" ”

"Only solve the battlefield and die for the country, why should the horse leather shroud be returned." Guo Yi got up and saluted goodbye, "Thank you for your love, the younger generation has made up its mind." It's getting late, so let the juniors say goodbye. ”
