Chapter 118: Empress Xiao II

readx;

Most of the streets of Chang'an have been melted or swept away, and winter is barely felt, except that the weather is too cold. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

The luxurious carriage of the Guo family went straight to Xingdaoli from Laitingfang, and Guo Shan changed into a cotton robe and wore a hood to cover his injured forehead. Because of the winter, the burned skin loses the sensation of burning. In the case of thick clothes tightly wrapped in three layers inside and three layers outside, Guo Shan looks clean and beautiful.

Steward Hu personally drove the carriage outside, and ran for a long distance before finally stopping at the gate of Xiao Mansion in Xingdao. Steward Hu led Guo Shan out of the carriage and immediately stepped forward to knock on the door.

After a long time, a woman opened the door. He looked at Steward Hu and Guo Shan behind Steward Hu. Steward Hu hurriedly handed over the famous thorn, looked at Guo Shan slightly sideways and said, "This is our master Guo Shan, and I am his housekeeper." This time, I accompanied our master to visit Mrs. Xiao. ”

The woman who opened the door looked at Guo Shan when she heard this, and when she saw Guo Shan saluting her, she heard Guo Shan say very politely to her: "The annoying girl has a good word with your master." ”

The woman hurriedly returned the salute, and then carefully read the message on Guo Shan's famous thorn, and then handed the famous thorn back to Guo Shan, and said apologetically: "I'm really sorry, my master went out in the morning." I'm afraid I won't be able to come back for a while, so I'll teach you a few people to run for nothing. ”

Guo Shan was stunned when he heard this, and his face was disappointed. He immediately smiled and said, "It's okay, I have some drinks and snacks here that I want to give to Mrs. Xiao." ”

Steward Hu had already gone to open the curtain of the carriage, revealing the wine, wine and mooncakes inside.

But the woman shook her head and said, "I accept your affection, but my master won't let me accept the gift, please bring the gift back." ”

Guo Shan was stunned again, and heard the woman say: "The house is full of women, and it is inconvenient to stay guests, please come again next time." ”

After saying that, he bowed apologetically and closed the door lightly.

Softly ate a closed door, which made Guo Shan dumbfounded. Steward Hu said angrily after seeing the door closed: "She is already a down-and-out queen, why is her subordinate still playing such a big shelf?" ”

Guo Shan was silent when he heard this, and then said: "I'm afraid the old lady is a cautious person, she doesn't want to mess with the rights and wrongs in the red dust anymore, and she wants to live a quiet life." Or, people knew that the people who came to visit her wanted to ask her brother to do something, so they simply closed the door to welcome the guests so as not to embarrass her brother. ”

Hearing this, Steward Hu couldn't help but ask, "Master, what should I do now?" ”

Guo Shandao: "What else can I do?" Go home, and come back tomorrow. ”

The two got into the carriage and went home.

In the afternoon, Li Tai ran to Guo Shan's place to play. Because Guo Shan didn't have to be on duty, he accompanied Li Tai to the East Market to buy some strange playthings.

Li Tai spent 20 times to buy a beautifully decorated stone peacock from a Hu merchant in the Western Regions, ready to send it to his mother during the Chinese New Year.

Guo Shan bought some miscellaneous small items that he didn't even know what they were and returned to Guo's mansion, preparing to distribute some gifts to Xiaoyou and Steward Hu and some of Guo's subordinates.

The day passed like this, and at night, Zhang Wenshu ran over with three peacock suits made by the teaching workshop according to Guo Shan's drawings.

Because the lyrics and songs of "Phoenix Tail Bamboo in the Moonlight" were all created by Guo Shan, the choreography of the dance also needed Guo Shan's help.

There is a ready-made female music Guo Mansion.

His family has more than 40 singers, all of whom can sing and dance.

After discussing it with Zhang Wen, he began to let those singers dance one by one.

The peacock dance costumes come in different colors, but they are beautiful to match. Guo Shan choreographed the dance with the peacock dance in the impression of later generations, so that the 'female peacocks' in the yard were very busy.

Zhang Wenshu wrote down the choreography of the dance, and then left in a hurry.

There was no word all night, until the next morning, Guo Shan urged Steward Hu to go to Xiao Mansion on horseback.

Guo Shan's dress is still the same as yesterday, but he has an extra stove in his arms.

It was still knocked on by Steward Hu as yesterday, but it was not the woman from yesterday who opened the door, but a little girl about twelve years old.

The little girl curiously glanced at the handsome young man Guo Dalang, and then at the wealthy housekeeper Hu, and asked, "Who are you?" ”

Guo Shan smiled and handed over his name thorn from his sleeve and said, "I am Guo Shan from Tingfang Guo Mansion, and I am here to visit Mrs. Xiao." ”

The little girl took the thorn and glanced at the message on the thorn, and asked curiously, "You were here yesterday, right?" ”

Guo Shan said: "Don't hide it from the girl, we did come yesterday." ”

The little girl said, "My great-grandmother is not here today, so go back." ”

This is a direct eviction order, how can Steward Hu not be angry?

On the contrary, Guo Shan was stunned but not angry, and carefully looked at the little girl in front of him.

Could it be that he is the daughter of Yang Zhengdao? Your own sister?

Guo Shan's brows jumped, and his breathing was a little short. I don't know if it's because of the illusion or what, I feel that the eyebrows of the little girl in front of me look like myself.

Squinting his eyes, Guo Shan smiled and said, "Since the old lady is not here, then we won't bother." I only hope that Miss Yang can mention my name to the old lady when she comes back, and say that Guo Shanming'er will come to greet her old man again. ”

When the little girl heard this, she said apologetically: "It's just like this, it's inconvenient to entertain the two of you in the house, so that the two of you can laugh." ”

Guo Shan smiled and said that it was okay, and then looked at her with a smile and closed the door.

Steward Hu was furious: "Master, I see that we won't see that old lady Xiao when we come back tomorrow." ”

Guo Shanbu smiled angrily: "In ancient times, Liu Xuande looked at the thatched house three times, what is wrong with our two mansion doors?" ”

Guo Shan turned his head and saw a small vendor carrying a burden to sell dumplings, so he said, "Let's have breakfast and then go home." ”

Steward Hu hurriedly beckoned the vendor to stop.

The little vendor hurriedly set up his stall on the side of the street, laid down his burden and began to cook.

Hu Laohan also drove the carriage to the side of the road, took the charcoal fire from the carriage and put it aside.

The little vendor looked at Guo Shan and the others and said with a smile: "You are also here to visit Mrs. Xiao?" ”

Guo Shan was stunned for a moment, and asked funny: "What do you say?" ”

The small vendor said: "I live next to me, and I often see some people coming to visit the Xiao Mansion, especially you nobles. ”

Guo Shan was stunned, 'Oh? Surprised, he asked, "Who are they?" ”

"There are more princes and nobles. None of them came for Mrs. Xiao, but for Miss Yang. ”

Guo Shan was even more puzzled when he heard this: "Which Yang girl?" ”

The vendor said, "It's the Yang girl you saw earlier." I heard that her identity is not ordinary, she is a former dynasty"

The vendor was silent, and did not finish his sentence. But Guo Shan knew that what this little vendor was talking about was nothing more than the royal daughter of the previous dynasty.

Then it must be Yang Zhengdao's daughter.

In 630, Dingxiang was attacked by the Tang army, Yang Zhengdao was captured in Chang'an, and some imperial daughters were not killed by the Tang army, but I am afraid they were also captured in Chang'an City. If it is the princess, then this Yang girl is the daughter of Yang Zhengdao. Perhaps, it's his own sister.

Guo Shan smashed his mouth and said casually: "Well, that little lady Yang is indeed extremely beautiful." However, there are many beautiful women in Chang'an City, why do those princes and nobles like her? ”

The vendor said, "You don't understand this, do you?" There are only two branches of Chang'an City that are beautiful and noble-blooded, one is the dragon sons and dragon girls of today, and the other is "

Guo Shan nodded abruptly and said, "Since they are the princesses of the previous dynasty, why do those princes and nobles dare to be disrespectful to them rashly?" Aren't you afraid that Mrs. Xiao will be angry? ”

The vendor said, "The phoenix that has fallen to the ground is not as good as a chicken." What's more, it's the Tang Dynasty now, and the name of Emperor Xiao Laotai is gone. ”

Guo Shan smiled and ate the last bit of noodles, and Hu Laohan hurriedly handed Guo Shan warm wine from the side.

Guo Shan took a sip of wine, drank it, looked at the vendor and said, "Thank you for your gluttony, this is the money for you." ”

The vendor smiled and took the money, and was about to leave. Who knew that Guo Shan suddenly grabbed his burden and smiled at him: "Your gluttony is good, but you have too many words." You have to change it, or one day your life will be ruined by this mouth of yours. ”

Without waiting for the vendor to react, Guo Shan had already withdrawn his hand and turned around and walked towards the Xiao Mansion.

Steward Hu hurriedly chased after him with a charcoal stove and asked Guo Shandao, "Master, where are we going now?" ”

Guo Shan didn't answer and asked, "Steward Hu, you say, the bloodline of the Yang family is really that important?" Even if they are down, there are still heroes who want to marry them? ”

Steward Hu said with a smile: "Master, the bloodline is naturally important, and the noble bloodline is inherently noble. You see, didn't we just say in Tang Law that untouchables and beloveds can't intermarry? Isn't this just keeping the blood pure? I heard that we have five surnames and seven wangs in the Tang Dynasty, and they are very depressed now, but the emperor really wants the prince to marry their daughter. But the people with the five surnames and seven hopes refused, thinking that the bloodline of the present day is not as noble as theirs. ”

Guo Shan said with a smile: "I don't know where you heard this, but I do know the five surnames and seven wangs." A group of down-and-out aristocrats tried in vain to use the name of their ancestors to raise their worth. Arrogant and arrogant look down on the bloodline of today, they are doing death. You see, if one day their reputation is not so famous, the emperor will definitely cut them. But I've heard a very interesting anecdote that the nerds with the five surnames and seven wangs think that the blood of the royal family of the previous dynasty is far better than the blood of the royal family of the current dynasty, you say, why do I have a sense of pride when I think of this rumor? ”

Guo Shan laughed and said to Steward Hu: "After eating a lot of gluttony, your master and I have strength again." Now, let's knock on the door of the Xiao Mansion again. ”

Hu Laohan was surprised: "Master, why do you still knock?" Didn't the previous Miss Yang let us not use it today? ”

Guo Shandao: "I dare to categorically treat us as bad people, so we won't let us in, let's not knock on the door now, next time I don't know which family of kings and nobles will knock on the door." ”

Hu Laohan suddenly realized: "Master, you also want to marry that Miss Yang?" ”
