Guo Ye listened to Wu Maocai's howling of killing pigs and screaming in pain, and immediately quickly pulled away the hands that were pressed on Wu Maocai's shoulders, and said with an embarrassed smile: "Father-in-law, don't blame, I was too excited to hear the news when I first heard it, so I was in a hurry... Ha ha... There are a lot of old people in your family, and you are one or two of them. ”

Wu Maocai snorted, shook his shoulders and grinned again, and finally glared at Guo Ye and said: "Zhenniang's health is very good, she is in confinement, and she is taking care of your old lady, and she is recovering very well." And Zhenniang also gave birth to a daughter who is a full seven pounds and eight taels, you Guo Mansion has a queen! ”

A girl of seven pounds and eight taels?

Guo Ye was overjoyed and said in surprise: "Father-in-law, do you mean that Zhenniang has added a daughter to our Guo family?" ”

Wu Maocai was still thinking about Guo Ye's hot hand destroying his father just now, where would he have a good face for him, and said impatiently: "It's not your daughter, is it still someone else's?" ”

"Bah, who's scolding, who likes to be a daddy?"

Guo Ye was unhappy now, and muttered: "Zhenniang, this child is definitely my Guo Ye's species, it's seven catties and eight taels, tsk, it's really weighty." Happy event, this is a great happy event, no, I have to celebrate. ”

"What is it that deserves your pleasure? Husband! ”

Listening to the voice, it was as if Chai Xiuxiu had returned from Huo Guogong's mansion after hearing the news.

Wu Maocai immediately rushed over when he heard his daughter's voice, I don't know if it was because of his daughter's heart, or because Guo Ye didn't make a shot just now, anyway, he came to Chai Xiuxiu's side with tears in his eyes, crying and crying: "My daughter, I miss my father, woo woo......"

Chai Xiuxiu hadn't seen her father for a long time, to be exact, it should be her adoptive father, so she couldn't help but be excited, and immediately took Wu Maocai's arm and re-entered the flower hall together, and the father and daughter complained to each other.

And Guo Ye completely ignored the sensational scene of Wu Maocai and Chai Xiuxiu's reunion, and continued to immerse himself in the joy and happiness of being a father.

After gossiping about the father and daughter, Chai Xiuxiu asked Guo Ye and said, "Husband, the concubine heard you talk about the big joy outside the flower hall just now, where did this joy come from?" ”

Guo Ye smirked and told Xiuxiu about Zhenniang's birth in Longxi and the birth of a girl who was seven pounds and eight taels.

Chai Xiuxiu's face couldn't help but be stunned when she heard it, and then after hearing that Zhenniang only gave birth to a daughter, she couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief in her heart, and then sincerely felt happy for Guo Ye, and said: "Husband, today is a double happiness, one is that my father came to Chang'an from Longxi to visit you and me, and the second is that Zhenniang's sister gave birth to a daughter for you, and she won a daughter." Okay, don't stand in the flower hall with a pestle, go to the dining room in the back hall, and the concubine will go to the kitchen to fry a few dishes in person, and let her father and husband drink a few cups. ”

Guo Ye nodded a few times suddenly, thinking good, but Wu Maocai stopped: "Girl, you are the county lord, how can you still cook and stir-fry?" Let the subordinates do this kind of rough work, let my father take a good look at you, yo, this Ziluo Palace skirt is actually woven by Shu brocade, this fabric, this handwork, it is really amazing. The county lord is the county lord, and he wears expensive goods. ”

I saw Wu Maocai circling around there, and immediately showed his true face, and a strong atmosphere of landlord and old wealth came to his face.

Xiuxiu was also amused by her father's appearance, and said with a smile in her heart, she hadn't seen her for such a long time, and her father was still the same philistine as always, and there had been no change in the slightest.

But she still said: "Dad, I don't work on weekdays, and my fingers don't touch the spring water, so it's rare to be happy today." You go to the back hall with your husband first, and your daughter will fry the vegetables and hot the wine in a while. ”

After that, he smiled at Guo Ye, walked out of the flower hall, and went straight to the direction of the back kitchen.

Wu Maocai watched his daughter leave in a hurry, and muttered: "This is the county lord, what kind of kitchen are you stir-frying?" ”

Guo Ye glanced at his cheap father-in-law, pursed his lips and couldn't help but taunt: "Why can't the county lord go to the kitchen?" She's my wife, what's wrong with the next kitchen? What's wrong? Don't eat the county lord? Have you ever seen a county lord who doesn't need to eat and drink Lazar? Let's go, let's go to the dining room first and wait for food and drink. ”

After some ridicule, Guo Ye hummed a little song with both hands on his back, and walked towards the back hall with a swagger in a good mood.

Wu Maocai followed behind Guo Ye, listening to Guo Ye's ridicule just now, and couldn't help but pop out of his mouth with two words: "Vulgar!" ”

It is not easy for these two words to come out of Wu Maocai's mouth.

After entering the dining room, after Weng and his son-in-law sat down, after about half an hour, Chai Xiuxiu took his subordinates into the dining room with a few hot dishes and two pots of hot wine.

The hot dishes were served, and after Chai Xiuxiu poured the glass of wine for her father and husband one by one, she sat down and accompanied her at the same table.

After a few chopsticks of hot dishes and a few sips of warm wine, Guo Ye also calmed down from the happy and joyful longing of being a father, and then asked suspiciously: "Xiuxiu, it's strange for you to say, Zhenniang gave birth to such a big thing, and my hometown didn't send me a letter, even if I asked someone to send a message." Although my mother is old, she is not so careless. ”

Chai Xiuxiu picked up the wine jug, poured a glass of wine for Guo Ye, and then also questioned: "Yes, if it weren't for my father's visit to Chang'an this time, we wouldn't have known about it." But it's also to blame the concubine for being careless, and it's time for Sister Zhenniang to give birth to the day. ”

"Hiccup...... Why didn't you send it? ”

Wu Maocai suddenly raised a glass to his daughter, motioned for her to pour herself a glass, and then said to Guo Ye: "If I remember correctly, on the second day after Zhenniang gave birth to a child, your mother asked the people in the house to come to Chang'an to send you a letter." Oh. I remembered, on the way out of Shu to Chang'an, I passed through Yongzhou, where there was a riot, and I was almost trapped in Yongzhou and couldn't get out of the city. Alas, my luck is not bad, I'm afraid that the person sent by your mother is still trapped in Yongzhou and can't get out. That's why you haven't received this letter. ”

"Yongzhou, riots?"

Guo Ye was surprised: "What's the matter?" ”

Wu Maocai scratched his right cheek and said confusedly: "I don't know very well, anyway, it seems that I heard that the monks of Yongzhou Buddhism and the Taoist priests of Taoism did something about it, and finally made the entire Yongzhou Buddhist believers and Taoist believers become fire and water, that guy, the two sides are really moving guys, I heard about the temples and Taoist temples in Yongzhou."

A lot of them were burned, and a lot of people died. ”

"The dispute between Buddhism and Taoism? In Yongzhou?? ”

Guo Ye was confused, what is this?

Driven by curiosity, he secretly made up his mind, and he would go to the military department tomorrow to ask for clarification, this kind of local riot, the military department should have received an urgent letter from the Yongzhou Zhichong Governor's Mansion, right?

Chai Xiuxiu saw that the good atmosphere just now was said by the Yongzhou riot, and immediately diluted a lot of joy, glanced at her father angrily, and then saw Guo Ye stunned, and quickly changed the topic and reminded: "Husband, now that Sister Zhenniang has given birth to a daughter for our Guo family, then you, the father, should always give your daughter a name, right?" ”

Sure enough, Guo Ye was so diverted from the topic by Xiuxiu that he immediately dispelled his thoughts about the affairs of Yongzhou, then scratched his head and said with a smile: "Yes, this is my Guo Ye's first daughter, and I have to choose this name myself." Hmm, what's a good name? Don't worry, wait for me to weigh it up. ”

"Xiuxiu, what kind of meat is this? Why is it so fragrant and chewy? ”

Wu Maocai was eating and drinking, he didn't care about Guo Ye's child's name, but held a piece of meat on his chopsticks and asked his daughter.

Xiuxiu glanced at the piece of meat, and subconsciously replied: "This is my father, oh, it's Huo Guogong's biological father, and this is sent by an old ministry trustee of my biological father in Xiangyang." Not... Yes, this is a specialty of Xiangyang, called Xiangyang bacon, it smells very fragrant, and my daughter brought some back from Huo Guogong's mansion. ”

"Xiangyang bacon?"

Wu Maocai took a closer look at the slices of meat on the chopsticks, stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it, and praised while chewing: "This Xiangyang bacon is good, good, it's really the best!" Xiu'er, go back and bring your dad to pack it up, and my dad will bring it back to Longxi to give the neighbors a try. ”

When Wu Xiuxiu heard this, she immediately smiled and said, "Okay, go back and bring all these things back to Longxi for your old man, so that you can eat enough." ”

"Wait a minute, father-in-law, what did you just say?"

Guo Ye, who was thinking hard about choosing a name for his daughter, suddenly asked Wu Maocai and said, "What did your old man say just now?" ”

Wu Maocai was startled by Guo Ye, and then pointed to a plate of dishes on the table with chopsticks for some reason, and said: "This thing is the best, the Xiangyang bacon that Xiu'er brought back from Huo Guogong's Mansion." ”

"Okay, I figured it out!"

Guo Ye jumped up happily, pointed to the dish guided by Wu Maocai's chopsticks, and said, "Just use Xiangyang bacon to name my daughter?" ”

Chai Xiuxiu was dumbfounded when she heard this, covered her mouth and exclaimed softly: "Huh? How can this be? ”

Wu Maocai was also dumbfounded by Guo Ye's words, and asked in disbelief, "What?" You use this dish to name your child? Call... Guo bacon? ”

"Bah, your name is Guo Bacon?"

Guo Ye bowed to Wu Maocai without being big or small, and then said to Wu Xiuxiu: "Xiuxiu, instead of racking your brains to ponder, it is better to choose a name for the child as fate is, I have decided, and this daughter of Zhenniang and I will take the first word of this dish." ”

Wu Xiuxiu didn't know why Guo Ye was so lazy to choose a name, so she thought to herself: "The first word is Xiang, then the eldest daughter of our Guo Mansion is called Guo Xiang?" Guo Xiang Guo Xiang, it's also good! ”

A smile full of remembrance appeared on Guo Ye's face, and then he stretched out his arms and shouted: "That's right, the first daughter of our Guo family is called this name, surnamed Guo Mingxiang, Guo Xiang!! ”
