The carriage stopped at the gate of the palace city, and the honor guard welcomed Li Shimin back to the palace. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

A major earthquake caused the half-repaired Daming Palace to collapse. However, most of the palaces in the harem in the imperial city were safe and sound because of their good quality, except for a few small buildings that collapsed.

Under the command and dispatch of Empress Changsun, there were no casualties in the harem.

Outside the imperial city, the officials of various departments also did a good job of post-earthquake protection under the arrangement of Wei Zheng and others. Guo Shan, who was just crowned a courtier among this wave of civil and military ministers, joined the disaster relief plan to rescue and maintain law and order.

After nearly two months of busyness, Chang'an City has returned to calm. In the inner courtyard of the Guo Mansion, the eunuch read out the will, and in the joy of everyone in the Guo family, the inner attendant accepted the silver taels, thanked Guo Shan, and left.

"Master, you will be a real adult in the future." Steward Hu blushed, looked at Guo Shan and said with a smile.

Guo Shan snorted coldly: "It's just a court's invitation, it's just a loose official who only takes a fortune, is it that your lord still lacks the little money given by the court?" ”

Steward Hu immediately said, "You can't say that; Loose officials are also officials, and they are officials of the seventh grade. If it weren't for your meritorious work, it would be very difficult to become a loose official of the seventh grade. ”

After some chatter, the people came to say hello to Guo Shan euphemistically.

In fact, there is nothing to be gratifying, on the day of the earthquake, Li Shimin gave Guo Shan a promise when he returned to the palace, and at that time Guo Shan knew that he would be crowned as a courtier. So now that the imperial decree has been issued, Guo Shan doesn't feel so frightened. And the only thing that is quite satisfying is that the word 'test' of the previous test Xieyulang was given after the earthquake.

Now, he Guo Shan is the court's invitation lang, and he is actually the assistant of Taichang Temple.

"Master, Miss Su Su and Miss Ning are here." Xiao You walked in and talked to Guo Shan.

Before Guo Shan could speak, he heard Sister Ning's voice come over: "Yo, why are there so many things here?" ”

I saw Sister Ning and Wang Susu coming together, both of them wearing quite thick clothes. As soon as Sister Ning entered the courtyard, she was attracted by the satin sent from the palace, and stepped forward to look through it.

Guo Shan smiled bitterly and said, "This is given by the emperor." ”

Sister Ning smiled and said, "That's good, it seems that the emperor still loves you very much." ”

Guo Shan was speechless, and listened to Sister Ning say to him: "Congratulations on becoming a real official now, and you have an official position as a courtier on the seventh grade." ”

"It's just a civil official, although it's a seven-grade official, but it doesn't matter what happened." Guo Shan said modestly.

Sister Ning glared: "The seventh-rank official is the seventh-rank official, even if it doesn't matter, it is bigger than your Xielulang's eighth-grade official." What do you think? This is considered a promotion, do you want to celebrate? ”

Guo Shan shook his head and said, "Earlier, you also knew that the emperor promised to crown me as the court's inviter, so why celebrate again." ”

Sister Ning didn't speak this time, but Wang Susu said with a smile: "That's different again." Although the emperor promised you earlier, the emperor did not count what he promised before the court documents came down. Sister Ning continued: "Yes, so now you are really the court." ”

As he was talking, Xiao You said again: "Master, King Wei is here." ”

I heard someone in the courtyard shouting, "Dalang, this king has come to give you a gift." ”

Sister Ning and Wang Susu glanced at each other and wanted to avoid it. Guo Shan said: "It's not an outsider, what is there to avoid?" ”

Sister Ning raised her eyebrows: "I don't like to see those people." After speaking, he really pulled Wang Susu away.

Guo Shan was helpless, and he couldn't stop him, so he hurriedly asked Steward Hu to go down to greet him. In the courtyard over there, I saw Li Tai walking into the courtyard with a big sting.

At this time, it was winter, and Li Tai also wore a cotton robe. Wanton and arrogant entered the house, and saw Guo Shan lying on the chair at a glance.

He hurriedly stepped forward and gathered in front of Guo Shan's charcoal fire, and said, "I have already seen the proclamation of the imperial court, and the Lord Shizhong also told me about you. Dalang, congratulations on becoming the minister of Zhengqipin. ”

Guo Shan sneered: "Are there still few seven-grade officials in our Chang'an City?" The three products are considered to be adults, and I am at most a small cadre. ”

"What is a small cadre?" Li Tai asked.

Guo Shandao: "It's a small official." ”

Seeing Guo Shan's attitude, Li Tai immediately said: "You can't say that, Da Lang, it's rare in ancient times for a person of your age to be able to achieve seven grades, how can you compare the current you with the current servants." ”

Guo Shan was stunned and smiled bitterly. I secretly thought that the people I saw every day were big names like Wei Zheng and them, could I think that the seven-rank official was a big official?

didn't dwell on this matter, and listened to Li Tai ask: "Da Lang, how is our moon cake shop?" In the past two months, have you delayed our mooncake shop? ”

Guo Shan said angrily: "You didn't come to me to congratulate me, but to ask if the moon cake shop you invested in had any losses, right?" ”

Li Tai hurriedly shook his head and said, "Do you think Gu is that kind of person?" ”

At first glance, I think Li Tai is a very honest and friendly person, but think about it carefully. Fang Yiai, Chai Lingwu, which of the people who were with Li Tai in this wave have not been cheated by Li Tai?

Guo Shan easily came to a conclusion and said, "You are such a person. ”

I listened to Xiao You's report again: "Master, Fang Gongzi and Chai Gongzi are here." ”

As soon as the words fell, the voices of Chai Lingwu and Fang Yiai came from outside, and Li Hui came with them.

The three of them walked hand in hand, wrapped in thick clothes. Li Hui also carried a charcoal fire and amused the two.

Over there, Chai Lingwu's eyes were sharp, and he folded the fan in his brush handle and said, "Qingque is also here?" ”

Li Tai got up and saluted them, and beckoned to them, "Everyone has come just in time, sit down together." ”

Fang Yiai laughed and said, "I just said that you still don't believe Qingque here, how about it?" Now I believe what this son says. ”

Chai Lingwu opened the folding fan again, shook the fan on his chest and said to Guo Shan: "Lingwu congratulates Dalang on being crowned as a courtier, and I am here to congratulate you." ”

Guo Shan rolled his eyes, looking at Chai Lingwu's fan on his chest, he didn't know what he was pretending to be in the winter.

People moved stools, and several people chatted around the coals in the courtyard. The topic naturally shifted to the mooncake shop, after all, the mooncake shop was run by their partner.

However, nothing happened to the mooncake shop in the earthquake, even the earthquake in Chang'an City hardly delayed the operation of the mooncake shop.

Nothing happened to the mooncake shop, but there were a lot of things happened to the Guo family.

Guo Shan complained to Li Tai and others: "Now my Guo family's pastoral is flooded, and many tenant farmers have no harvest. Don't say that I can't collect a grain of rent this year, but I have cloth and grain. At the time of the earthquake, more than a dozen tenant farmers in Chang'an City were unfortunately killed, leaving orphans, widows and a few elderly people at home, and I had to find a way to help them. It can be said that this natural disaster made Guo Shan in debt. ”

How good is Li Tai? asked Guo Shandao: "Then what did Da Lang tell us about this?" ”

Guo Shan immediately got up and saluted Li Tai and said, "Qingque has the opportunity to tell me about my suffering in front of His Majesty, even if it is a help for my brother." ”

He wanted to show his righteous, kind, and great side to Li Tai to Li Shimin.

But Li Tai was not stupid, and nodded and agreed: "Leave this matter to me." ”

In fact, Ying Cheng is Ying Cheng, but Li Taizhen, who is most afraid of seeing Li Shimin, will be stupid enough to run to Li Shimin to say good things to Guo Shan? That's impossible.

"What do you do with this? Dalang, bring out your wine. Fang Yiai said.

Li Hui touched his stomach and said with a smile: "Everyone came on an empty stomach, why didn't Da Lang entertain us?" ”

Guo Shanqi was happy.

They're all like this, and they're embarrassed to say that they're here to congratulate themselves? I didn't bring a gift, I ran here to eat and drink.

In fact, the kitchen had already prepared wine and food, and as soon as I greeted the hot meal, shochu was served.

Guo Shan has been busy in the past two months, and it has been a long time since he has been able to get together with Li Tai and others to drink recklessly.

"Ming'er Qingque's lady is back in Beijing, Da Lang, let's pick it up together?" Fang Yiai asked.

Guo Shan knew that Fang Yiai was talking about Li Tai's wife Yan Wan, a girl who was not a few years older than him.

"I'm afraid it won't work, I have to go to Taichang Temple tomorrow." Guo Shan shook his head, and thought in his heart, what are you going to do when the other man's wife comes back?

Li Tai waved his hand and said, "It's okay, it's enough to go alone." ”

Fang Yiai shook his head and said: "The people who have become a family are really troublesome, which is more free than me." ”

Chai Lingwu said with a smile: "You have to marry a wife after all, don't you have to do it at that time?" I heard my father say that Uncle Fang intends to ask you to marry the seventh lady of the eldest grandson's family. ”

Fang Yiai's face changed greatly, and he said, "Is that crazy girl eldest grandson?" He immediately shook his head into a rattle, and said categorically: "Kill me and don't marry that crazy girl, won't that kill me?" ”

Everyone thought it was funny, Li Tai suddenly seemed to remember something, and said to Guo Shan: "By the way, Da Lang, I only remembered when I mentioned the matter of marrying, and the queen mother seems to want to find you a suitable family among the royal family." ”

Guo Shan frowned when he heard this, and suddenly his face changed greatly: "What did you say?" ”

Li Tai said with a smile: "Things haven't settled yet, what are you excited about now." ”

Guo Shan almost vomited blood, did he look like he was excited?

immediately said: "Qingque Hugh wants to talk nonsense, Xu is a joke made by Niangniang." ”

Li Tai said: "That may not be said again, finding you a family affair is just right for you to take care of yourself, and you will not be in trouble everywhere when you become a family in the future." ”

Guo Shan thought to himself, if he really became a relative, the responsibility would be great at that time.

He suddenly thought of Yuan Tiangang's statement that he would marry a wife within three years, and then, exterminate the clan.
