Chapter 807: Hitting an old friend at the post house at night
Once the feeling of homesickness is aroused, it is really like a prairie fire raging, the wind does not stop, and the water does not go out.
One night, all night, Guo Ye tossed and turned on the bed, unable to sleep all night, constantly recalling the happy life in Longxi in the past.
The images of the old lady, Zhiru, Zhenniang, cheap father-in-law Wu Maocai, and cheap father-in-law Kang Yueshan all appeared in my mind one by one, and they were clearly visible.
Of course, the most concerned is the child in the womb of Zhen Niang, whether in the past life or in this life, Guo Ye has never had the experience of being a father, when he thinks of the unborn baby, his heart suddenly swelled with a softness.
At this time, there is no more killing in my heart, no more anger, no more intrigue, conspiracy and calculation, and all the steel is turned into finger wrapping, maybe this is the feeling of being a father for the first time.
He can't guarantee the birth of his first child, he can be there in person, but he can't be pregnant in October, and he won't be with him, right?
The urgency of homesickness is becoming more and more overflowing, and it is out of control.
I'm homesick, I'm really homesick.
stayed up all night until dawn, and when Wu Xiuxiu got up sleepily, she was startled.
Because she saw her husband Guo Ye, she didn't sleep all night, looking at herself with a pair of black panda eyes with black eyes, and shouted at herself again and again: "Xiuxiu, prepare to prepare, let's go home in a few days and go back to our hometown in Longxi for the New Year." ”
Wu Xiuxiu didn't know how her husband survived this long night, but she could see that her husband really didn't sleep all night, and she had to bear it all night before telling her decision.
In the middle of falling asleep, I didn't wake myself up.
Suddenly, Wu Xiuxiu's heart was filled with sweetness, if she has such a husband, what do you want for her wife?
Then, Wu Xiuxiu laughed and said, "Aren't you going back home for the New Year?" Are you so excited that you don't sleep until dawn? Husband, I will prepare in advance for going home, so you can get some sleep and make up for sleep. ”
Crash~
Guo Ye lifted the brocade quilt and jumped off the bed, hurriedly put on the cloth shoes and put on his clothes, and then said hurriedly: "If you don't sleep, don't sleep, I have to find Chen Jitao to make arrangements, otherwise even if I leave Yangzhou and return to Longxi, I will not feel at ease." ”
The voice fell, and the people had already rushed out of the door.
Seeing this, Wu Xiuxiu shook her head secretly, where is this frizzy appearance or the Yangzhou thorn history that Zhizhu is holding? It's really a half-grown child who hasn't grown up.
Suddenly, Wu Xiuxiu was suddenly startled, and ran to the door to find Guo Ye's figure and called: "Husband, husband, come back quickly, you haven't washed up in the morning?" ”
It's a pity that Guo Ye has long been gone, and it is estimated that he has gone to the official office of Juncheng to look for Chen Jitao
In the official office of Juncheng, Chen Jitao was also taken aback by Guo Ye's abrupt incursion.
He was flipping through the official documents sent by the counties under the jurisdiction of Yangzhou, but he saw a wind shadow blowing into the room.
When I looked closely, I saw that Guo Ye was unkempt, his eyes were full of feces, his eyes were red and bloodshot, and his blowing and exhaling were full of fishy smell.
Chen Jitao stood up in a daze, completely shocked!
Could it be that last night, Lord Thorn Shi went to pretend to be a chicken thief?
Who knew that Guo Ye opened his mouth with the first sentence was: "Mingren, this official is going to prepare to return to his hometown and province in the near future, after I leave, everything in Yangzhou Mansion will be up to you!" ”
As soon as the words came out, Chen Jitao was shocked and dumbfounded.
Because now Yangzhou is in ruins, where can we leave Guo Ye, the person in charge?
When he thought about excuse himself, Guo Ye rushed out of the door like a whirlwind and left quickly, leaving only a faint fishy smell in the air
Three days later, Guo Ye and his wife set off for Dongmen Ferry Terminal to leave Yangzhou by boat and return to their hometown in Longxi, Shuzhong.
On this trip, he only brought two brothers, Zhang Jiujin and Wang Bajin, as well as about twenty or thirty guards brought back from Chang'an, as well as some authentic local products from Yangzhou. Other than that, there is nothing else.
In this way, the light car is basically simple, and even Liu Zhenxuan didn't bring it, because in the next year's closing account of the Yanyun Yamen, Guan Jiu Jiu still needs to borrow heavy money to rush to many places in the Governor's Mansion. If he left Liu Zhenxuan, he was worried that Guan Jiujiu would really not be able to play alone.
After walking for a few days by water, I changed to a car and a horse and took a land route, and traveled slowly all the way through the state and province, and it took nearly ten days to enter the territory of Shuzhong.
When he arrived in Shuzhong, he was moving forward in a low-key manner, and basically he didn't go to visit local officials if he couldn't meet them, which saved some time.
When I arrived in Yizhou County, it was the evening of the 28th lunar calendar, and there were still two days before the Chinese New Year's Eve.
When you arrive at Yizhou Mansion, you will be considered to have reached your own home.
Guo Ye knew that although he could find a boat from the Cao Gang at the ferry terminal at night to send him back to Longxi. But seeing his wife Wu Xiuxiu return to Shuzhong with him from the mountains and rivers of Yangzhou, he was already so tired that his face was a little pale, so he dispelled the idea of returning to Longxi at night. So, he rested for a night in Yizhou City, and waited for tomorrow dawn to take a boat back to Longxi.
He did not stay at the inn, but came to the post house in Yizhou Mansion and asked Zhang Jiujin and Wang Bajin to show their whitebait bags to complain about the inn.
In the whitebait bag, there is Guo Ye's official rank and position, as well as proof of Guo Ye's Yangzhou assassination history.
Because there are clear regulations in various post houses, only past court officials will be accepted, and merchants who are not court officials will not be accepted.
This is not only to facilitate officials to go out on business or travel long distances to return to their hometowns and provinces, but also to improve the welfare of officials.
And usually the post house under the rule of the state capital, compared with the inn, is more high-end and atmospheric, and there is hot water supply for taking a bath at night.
This is also the real reason why Guo Ye does not invest in inns and stays in post houses.
Think about it, after a long day's journey, if you can take a hot bath and soak your feet, how comfortable and wonderful it is.
Soon, the officials of the post house led dozens of post guards out of the gate with lanterns, and led Guo Ye and his wife and his party into the post house respectfully.
You must know that Guo Ye is the history of Yangzhou Thorn, which is the history of the thorn of the upper-class state and county, which is half a level higher than their Yizhou Thorn History.
Not only that, Guo Ye is also a veritable founding marquis, his food is in Yizhou, and the reputation of Guo Ye, the marquis of Yizhou, is not unfamiliar in Yizhou Mansion.
The most important thing is that Guo Ye is a native of their Yizhou, and the four words Guo Ye in Longxi were well-known at the beginning, even if it is said to be Weizhen Shuzhong, it is not an exaggeration at all.
Yizhou territory can produce such a high-class state and county thorn history, can produce such a marquis, that is also the only one.
Whether it is a small official in the post house or dozens of post guards, they are all natives of Yizhou.
To have such a glorious fellow Guo Ye, and Guo Ye can stay in the post house, it is also their supreme honor, and it is an honor to have it.
After welcoming Guo Ye and his party into the post house, the little official of the post house gave Guo Ye and his wife a first-class room facing north and south in the post house.
After Guo Ye exchanged a few words with the little official, he sent him away.
After a while, several post guards came into the room with buckets of hot water, and temporarily found a few maids from nowhere, saying that they were going to wait for the Hou of Yizhou and Mrs. Hou to bathe and change clothes.
Wu Xiuxiu's wife is expensive with her husband, and she is naturally happy to enjoy such courtesy, and she agrees in every way.
Guo Ye also secretly sighed, the position of power is really a good thing, and he can be regarded as a guest of honor anywhere. I think when I was a little servant, who the hell cared if I lived or died.
However, he finally dismissed the maids, because he was not accustomed to stripping naked in front of these strange women; Second, he also thought that he could take a mandarin duck bath with Xiuxiu.
When several maids went out, he personally closed the door, poured hot water, and prepared to sprinkle and beg Wu Xiuxiu to let her take a mandarin duck bath with him.
But who knew that a discordant voice sounded from outside the room, tuk tuk tuk......
After the knock on the door, someone outside the room shouted: "Xiaguan Tang suddenly disturbed the Marquis of Yizhou, and our Yizhou Mansion Jun came to visit." ”
Yizhou Fujun naturally refers to the history of Yizhou Thorn.
Guo Ye heard that the person who shouted was the affectionate post house official just now, but he didn't know this Yizhou assassin history, he only remembered that Lu Chengqing, a bastard, had sat in this position before, and now this new Yizhou assassin has never even heard of anyone.
And now it's too late and his body is too tired, he also wants to take a mandarin duck bath with Xiuxiu earlier, and then go to bed early.
Immediately, he rushed out of the door and refused very shamelessly: "It's too late, tell your family Assassin Shi, Ben Hou is tired and has fallen asleep, see you tomorrow!" ”
"Uh......"
The post house official didn't expect Guo Ye to be so faceless, and he was suddenly choked up and didn't know how to reply.
Unexpectedly, a man's voice suddenly sounded outside the door: "Lord Guo, is it not that the old man is visiting, don't you even give this little face?" ”
Guo Ye was annoyed now, and blurted out: "I know who you are?" Who are you...... Hey, this voice is a little familiar, could it be that you are Lord Zhao Feixuan Zhao of Ruzhou Thorn History? ”
The man outside the door first smiled, and then replied one after another: "Hehe, it's someone Zhao." It's really a coincidence, Zhao was transferred to Yizhou and could bump into Mr. Guo returning to his hometown, what a coincidence, what a coincidence. Mr. Guo, it's not a way to be hospitable when you don't see guests behind closed doors, so please show up and see Mr. Guo! ”
Guo Ye heard the other party admit his identity, and Zhao Feixuan was spinning quickly in his mind, but he really wondered in his heart, didn't Zhao Feixuan work in Anzhou? Why did you suddenly come to Yizhou in Shuzhong? It's weird.
In a thought, he suddenly remembered that Zhao Feixuan's wife Huiniang and Zhenniang were still sisters, so he and Zhao Feixuan actually became brothers-in-law.
Thinking of the bits and pieces he had with his eldest sister-in-law Huiniang in Ruzhou, his heart moved for no reason, and while walking to the door to open the door, he couldn't help blurting out: "Zhao Tingshi, it's been a long time, has your lady ever accompanied you in Yizhou?" ”
