Chapter Fifty-Eight: A Surprise Encounter with Skipping Shifts
readx;?“ All right! I knew you were still scheming on me! You can say whatever you want, I can say it, when you become a big official, you have to find a way to promote me! You're going to make it up to me! It's not okay if the official is small! Count what you owe me! Gao Huaiyuan said half-jokingly. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"It's done, it's done! Do as you say! But you also know that a county marquis like me is in name only, even if he is really promoted in the future, at most he will always be a nominal county king, and he has no power! Promise you in vain! Guicheng laughed.
"Don't you dare to say that, the world is impermanent, anything can happen, and if one day you become in power, this matter may not be said! Okay, so let's talk about what the queen mother mentioned she wanted! Gao Huaiyuan said to Guicheng with a knock on the side.
Guicheng didn't take it seriously, so far, Shi Miyuan and Zheng Qingzhi are still hiding from Guicheng and haven't revealed the slightest news to Guicheng, so Guicheng thinks that he is just the stepson of King Yi, and it will be good to be a prince of peace in the future.
"There's really something that makes the queen mother worry! When I went to the palace a few days ago to say hello to the saint and the queen, the queen really mentioned something to me, Brother Gao, have you ever heard that Shi Xiang has a treasure? I heard that Shi Xiang is old and can't see clearly, and then he got a treasure, which he hangs around his neck all day long, and when he reads a book or reviews*, he can see things clearly when he wears it?
Niangniang mentioned this matter to the saint one day, and it seemed that she also wanted such a thing, but the saint said that Shi Xiang's treasure was an overseas domain, and there was no more in the world, so I didn't know where to find this thing! So I think you have a lot of ways, big brother, you might as well think of a way to see if you can find this baby! Gui Cheng blinked and said to Gao Huaiyuan.
Gao Huaiyuan almost fell back, and said in his heart that this Guicheng is becoming more and more cunning now, he must have heard Zheng Qingzhi say that Shi Miyuan's tortoiseshell reading glasses were given to Shi Miyuan by him, so he hit the idea on him, and he actually made such a big detour, wanting to circle himself and say it.
Gao Huaiyuan made a contemptuous look at Guicheng again, Guicheng laughed with a mouthful of white teeth, Gao Huaiyuan shook his head and stood up: "Hou Ye, Hou Ye!" You're getting more cunning now! I'm almost learning the skills of Master Zheng! I actually went around the bend to ask me to say it!
Yes! Yes! I said okay, Shi Xiang's reading glasses were indeed given by me, but there is only that precious thing in the world, there is no second one, I can't help you in this matter! Think about what to give to the queen as a birthday gift! ”
Guicheng's face fell again, and he grabbed Gao Huaiyuan's sleeve and said, "No way, no way!" This matter can only be done by you, big brother, in my eyes, there is no one in this world who has a better way than you, and you have to help me get a pair of talents!
There is one more thing I want to tell you, in fact, the queen mother said, let me take you to the palace in a few days, she said that she wants to see you! ”
When Gao Huaiyuan heard this, he stopped, shook his hands and said, "Quickly let go, this is the clothes my wife just made for me, don't tear it for me, it's hard to explain when you go back!" ”
"Ma'am? What lady? I didn't hear you got married! You don't mean that you secretly married Liu'er, right? Ha ha! Now your father is estimated to be in Lin'an City, see what you do! As soon as Guicheng heard Gao Huaiyuan say the word wife, he laughed.
"Cut! I've already asked my father, my father has agreed to let me marry Liu'er, and I've already exchanged greetings with Liu'er, and I've gone to Lin'an Mansion to go through the procedures for redeeming Liu'er! Liu'er is my wife now!
Don't talk about that! How does the queen know about me? Why did you ask you to take me to the palace to meet her old man? Gao Huaiyuan still asked about this.
"I didn't say it to the queen mother! I gave my mother so many good things, my mother was very curious, asked me where to get them, you know, I usually stay at home, where to get those things! So I had to confess you, the queen mother was very interested, so I asked about you, I told her about you as it was, and she heard that you had killed the enemy in front of the army and made a lot of achievements, so she proposed that the next time I go to meet her, I will take you with me, and I want to see you! So you'll have to help me figure it out this time! Gui Cheng shook his head and said with a smile on his face that he had succeeded in his tricks.
Gao Huaiyuan's heart moved, he knew that the degree of influence of Empress Yang on the political situation today was Shi Miyuan's final say outside, but this Empress Yang had the final say in the palace, and he had now stammered with Shi Miyuan, although he had the heart to talk to Empress Yang, but because he couldn't enter the palace to meet him, he never had the opportunity to see this Empress Yang who was calling for wind and rain in the palace, but he didn't expect Guicheng to help him achieve this wish unintentionally.
So Gao Huaiyuan pretended to be embarrassed and said, "Well! I'm going to think of a way, but you have to help me take a leave of absence for more than ten days, I have to go to Qingyuan Mansion in person, and find a way to find it there, after all, this is an overseas import, and I'm not sure I can find a second one! If you don't say yes, then I can't help it! Gao Huaiyuan immediately took the opportunity to blackmail a few days of vacation to come out, otherwise he felt that he would suffer too much.
When Guicheng heard this, he quickly nodded: "I'm no problem here, I'll help you talk about it!" As for the front division of the palace, I can't help much, you can find a way to take leave yourself! ”
Gao Huaiyuan nodded and stood up: "Then it's decided, I won't come here tomorrow, go to the front of the palace to take leave, where is Lord Zheng, you can help me talk about it!" It's hard! It's not easy to be a servant for you! Ahem! ”
In Guicheng's laughter, Gao Huaiyuan left the palace and returned to his residence.
Early the next morning, Gao Huaiyuan went to the front of the palace to take leave, saying that he wanted to help the Marquis of Guicheng go out to run errands, Fu Tong and Xia Zhen immediately agreed, because Xia Zhen had already received news from Shi Miyuan at this time, and knew that Guicheng was likely to become their master in the future, and he didn't dare to underestimate Guicheng and this Gao Huaiyuan, so he agreed very happily.
Gao Huanyuan left Lin'an City with Li Ruohu on the same day, first detoured in the direction of Shaoxing, rushed to Shaoxing City that night, and returned to Gaofu in the city.
When he returned here again, Gao Huaiyuan really felt a little like a world away, every time he came back before, he felt quite uncomfortable, but this time he came back to feel very different, because Gao Jian had already arrived in Yangzhou to take up his post, and most of the people here had already gone to Yangzhou City, leaving only a few people to take care of their homes.
And when Gao Jian went to work, he told Gao Huaiyuan that if Gao Huaiyuan had the opportunity, he would come back and take care of his home in Shaoxing, so Gao Huaiyuan returned here as the master this time, standing in front of the door of Gao's mansion, Gao Huaiyuan sighed, is this an honor to return to his hometown?
When I knocked on the door, soon someone inside answered, came out to see who came to Gaofu at this time, and as soon as I opened the door, I saw Gao Huaiyuan, froze for a moment, and hurriedly bowed down to greet him: "I don't know if it was San Lang who came back, I was delayed just now, please bear with me a lot!" ”
Gao Huaiyuan took a look at this old servant and knew that he was also an old servant of the Gao family, and this old guy seemed to have teased him when he was young, but he didn't bother to bother with this gang at this time.
So he waved his hand and said, "Prepare a room for me, I'm going to stay here for a day, arrange a meal by the way, let us eat!" ”
Originally, he could go directly to the drunken immortal building in Shaoxing, but he ran back to Gaofu to see this so-called home again.
The old servant's expression flickered a little, and his expression seemed a little nervous, but he promised but did not immediately follow Gao Huaiyuan's instructions, but couldn't help but turn his head and look into the courtyard.
Gao Huaiyuan immediately felt that this old servant had something wrong with his demeanor, and he couldn't guess that there would be anything in the courtyard that he didn't want him to see, so he sank his face and shouted: "Bold!" Didn't you hear me, you old servant? Who else is in the yard? Can't you let me know? ”
The old servant now knows Gao Huaiyuan's identity, in addition to the old man Gao Jian, the Gao family is now Gao Huaiyuan's biggest, and Gao Jian is now going to Yangzhou to take up his post, as long as Gao Huaiyuan comes back here, it is Gao Huaiyuan who has the final say, and was reprimanded by Gao Huaiyuan like this, the old servant knelt on the ground and kowtowed again and again: "Don't be angry with the third young master, it's not that the old slave deliberately hides from the young master!" But...... It's ......"
At this time, a person's voice suddenly came from the courtyard: "Yan Laosan, what are you doing?" It's so late, what are you doing running to the door? ”
As soon as Gao Huaiyuan heard this voice, he immediately felt very familiar, so he immediately retreated from the old slave surnamed Yan who was kneeling at the door, and strode into the Gao Mansion.
When he met him, he ran into a person, and they all immediately froze on the spot.
After that person saw Gao Huaiyuan, his face became pale and ugly under the light of the lantern, Gao Huaiyuan's face became not very good-looking, and the two of them had a bit of an enemy posture, and the atmosphere in the courtyard immediately became tense.
The old servant surnamed Yan ran in and hurriedly explained, "Third Young Master, it's no wonder that the old slave is in this matter!" The second young master hasn't come back for many years, and he only came back here yesterday, he is also the master of the Gao Mansion, and the old slave can't help it! ”
Gao Huaiyuan waved his hand and said: "Go and close the gate, it's none of your business, let the idle people in the yard go back to sleep, find me a clean place, I want to talk to the second brother!" Gao Huaiyuan didn't expect that he was occasionally lazy, ran out to breathe and go home to take a look, and actually ran into Gao Huairen, who had been away from home for many years, and it was really a coincidence that there was no book in this world!
