The eunuch and his party entered the city of Guangzhou. Unimpeded to a stop outside the gate of the Admiral's Palace.

The accompanying soldiers spread the word, and the soldiers guarding the door immediately went to report the news to Li Zhen and hurriedly came out to greet him, his face was full of tiredness, and his eyes were bloodshot. There was a large-scale flood in Guangzhou, and he was so busy that his feet did not touch the ground, and he was always thinking about the food, clothing and accommodation of the people. There are many things to do to settle the people affected by the disaster, and to plan for the aftermath after the flood recedes.

Li Zhen rushed to the gate and looked at the eunuch who got out of the carriage, and was stunned. This time, it was not an ordinary eunuch who came to deliver the decree, but Han Laiyu, the big eunuch beside Xianfeng.

"Father-in-law Han, why are you here to deliver the decree?"

Li Zhen was surprised, he didn't expect the great eunuch Han Laiyu to come to Guangzhou.

Han Laiyu said with a smile: "Admiral Li, this time it's not just me, there are the rest of the people. Han Laiyu waved his hand at a carriage behind him, and saw the curtain of the carriage door lifted, and a man and a woman walked down from the carriage. The man was neatly dressed, with gorgeous hair and a frosty face, and he was already in his early sixties. He didn't smile, pursed his lips, his eyes were like electricity, and he had a faint majesty, and he looked like a person in a high position.

The woman is in her early forties, graceful and luxurious, and looks a little beautiful.

The two of them walked after getting out of the carriage, both staring at Li Zhen scrutinically.

Especially the woman, her eyes looked at Li Zhen without blinking, which made Li Zhen goosebumps all over his body, and he suddenly felt creepy. Seeing this situation, Li Zhen asked, "Gonggong Han, who is this adult?" ”

The old man snorted, unhappy that Li Zhen didn't know him.

Han Laiyu stretched out his hand and pointed at the middle-aged man, and said with a smile: "Admiral Li, the miscellaneous family will introduce you to you." This lord is Guiliang, the secretary of the Ministry of War, and this time he was ordered by the emperor to come to Guangzhou. The person next to Lord Gui Liang is Lord Gui Liang's Great Fortune Jin. ”

Li Zhen's expression did not move, but there was a storm in his heart.

Gui Liang! Gui Liang's wife!

One is Zhilan's father, and the other is Zhilan's mother. In other words, the two were Li Zhen's father-in-law and mother-in-law, but the two suddenly arrived in Guangzhou and immediately caught Li Zhen off guard.

Li Zhen thought about what to call it, and finally said: "Xiaguan Li Zhen, I have seen Lord Shangshu." ”

Gui Liang hummed and nodded.

The two sides met officially, and it was reasonable in terms of official rank, after all, there was still the eunuch Han Laiyu standing next to him. Li Zhen cheered up and didn't dare to slack off, and immediately led Han Laiyu and Gui Liang and his wife into the Governor's Mansion, and asked Ye Chengxin to take Gui Liang's wife to the backyard to meet Zhilan.

In the hall, only Han Laiyu, Li Zhen and Gui Liang remained.

Li Zhen asked: "Is there any big deal when Gonggong Han came to Guangzhou in person?" ”

Han Laiyu chuckled twice and said: "There are two things that the miscellaneous family came to Guangzhou, the first is that the emperor adopted Ye Mingchen's suggestion and agreed to Admiral Li to serve as the governor of Guangdong. Admiral Li holds the military and political power in Guangdong, which is the emperor's great trust! Admiral Li is only twenty-three or four years old this year, and he has become a feudal official, and his future is limitless. ”

Li Zhen immediately expressed his loyalty to Xianfeng, who did not know that he was thousands of miles away, and thanked him again and again.

Immediately, Li Zhen asked again: "What about the second thing?" ”

Han Laiyu looked at Gui Liang and said, "The second thing is related to Lord Gui Liang, let's say it." ”

Gui Liang did not shirk, and continued: "Zhilan is already a twenty-one eldest girl, and if she drags it on, she will become an old girl." You're twenty-three or four-year-old, and it's time to get married. As the saying goes, start a family, and when you reach your age, you should start a family. When the old man was as old as you, he had already married a wife. Now the emperor has issued a holy decree to marry you and Zhilan, which is the glory of my Guerjia family and the glory of your Li Zhen, so the old man came to Guangzhou to officiate at the wedding for you. ”

Han Laiyu said with a smile: "Admiral Li got married, and the miscellaneous family got the emperor's approval to join in the fun for the emperor, and after Admiral Li got married, the miscellaneous family and Lord Shangshu returned to Beijing together." During this time, it's time to be bothered. ”

After Li Zhen heard this, his brows were tightly locked.

There has been a large-scale flood in Guangzhou, and the people are in suffering, can he get married now?

Han Laiyu saw Li Zhen's expression and chuckled in his heart.

Gui Liang's face was gloomy, thinking that Zhilan married Li Zhen, this is already Li Zhen's ancestor accumulation, but Li Zhen frowned and didn't speak, what does this mean? Don't you like Zhilan?

Gui Liangliang was unhappy and wanted to be angry, but he thought that Zhilan had a deep affection for Li Zhen, especially for Li Zhen to run from Beijing to Shanghai and from Shanghai to Guangzhou, so he endured his anger and said: "Admiral Li, aren't you going to marry Zhilan?" ”

"No, no!"

As soon as Li Zhen saw Gui Liang's expression, he knew that the other party had misunderstood.

Li Zhen hurriedly explained: "Father-in-law, Zhilan and I have already made up our minds, and we must be married." It's just that the heavy rain in Guangzhou for several days has caused disasters, and there have been mudslides, landslides, floods, etc. The people are in difficulty, and I am busy dealing with this matter all day, and I can't find time to get married for the time being. ”

"The most important thing is that the people suffered from this great disaster, and I, the governor of Guangzhou, did not take the initiative to stand up to appease the people, but I still had to marry a wife and marry with great fanfare, which is a bit ...... Therefore, I wonder if I can postpone for a while, wait until the flood is resolved, and then discuss the marriage carefully, so that Zhilan can't be wronged. ”

Li Zhen looked at Han Laiyu and Gui Liang with a look of anticipation in his eyes.

Han Laiyu didn't speak, just looked at Gui Liang.

He is just an outsider, he is here to join in the fun, and he can get married at any time. Besides, Xianfeng has no time limit, and he can also have a good time outside. The gloomy expression on Gui Liang's face also disappeared and turned into a dignified color. Li Zhen's words are reasonable, as the governor of Guangzhou, he can't enjoy himself in such a difficult moment, and he must stand up and think about the people.

Gui Liang was just about to speak, when a voice came from outside the hall: "No! ”

There was a sound of heels stepping on the ground, and Li Zhen looked up, but it was Dafujin and Zhilan who came.

Zhilan looked ashamed, but Da Fujin had a cold face.

Li Zhen scratched his head and felt a big headache. It would certainly not be appropriate to prepare for the wedding immediately.

Li Zhen got up and asked Da Fujin to sit down, and said slowly: "Mother-in-law, you and your father-in-law have clearly seen the situation in Guangzhou all the way. Now that the people of Guangzhou are suffering, and there are homeless people everywhere, the son-in-law, as a parent official, must stand up at this time to stabilize people's hearts. It's not that the son-in-law doesn't take Zhilan, but wants to solve the flood first, what do you say? ”

Da Fu Jin said coldly: "No, I want to hold a wedding during this time." Anyway, I am also the daughter of the clan of Prince Su's mansion, and my daughter also has the blood of the Aixin Jueluo family in her body, and she is a royal prince. The Guerjia family is also a famous family, and Zhilan's marriage cannot be affected by a group of untouchables. ”

When Zhilan heard this, she chuckled in her heart.

He looked at Li Zhen and found that Li Zhen had a gloomy face.

Li Zhen glanced at Gui Liang, and saw that Gui Liang vaguely meant to watch the play, and smiled coldly in his heart. The people in front of him are his father-in-law and mother-in-law, but when it comes to issues of principle, it is impossible for Li Zhen to back down.

He looked at Da Fujin at eye level, and said in a deep voice: "Mother-in-law, you are a 'pariah', and the son-in-law categorically does not dare to agree. The ancients said that water can carry boats and capsize boats, and the people are the cornerstone of the world, so how can they be called 'untouchables'. The people cultivate food and supply the world, and if you don't have what you call 'untouchables', I'm afraid you won't have three meals a day, let alone gorgeous clothes. ”

Da Fu Jin's eyes were cold, and his face seemed to be frozen.
