Chapter 266: Rejoice
Guo Yu got out of the car and stood in front of Liang's house, when a servant in Tsing Yi walked out and smiled after just one look at him.
"Guo Jun is here."
Guo Yu nodded politely, and naturally stuffed the usual money into the servant's hands. "Is Mrs. Liang at home?"
The servant rubbed it lightly and smiled more earnestly. "Yes, yes. Guo Jun, please wait, I will tell Madame. After speaking, he arched his hand, stuffed the money into his arms, and walked quickly to the inner courtyard.
Guo Yu arched his hands and waited in front of the door, in a happy mood. His luck was good, relying on Liang Xiao's relationship, he successfully settled in Maoling, and also got in touch with Shi Zheng at that time, and became Maoling's sitting. Although Maoling was only just built, the Son of Heaven moved a lot of powerful people, these people had strong financial resources, and the luxury goods he sold back from the Western Regions were in short supply, and he made a lot of money.
Today, he came to Liang's house to thank him, and by the way, he also inquired about Liang Xiao's news. His son Guo Wenbin was still by Liang Xiao's side, and there was no news, and he was very worried.
Soon, the servant in Tsing Yi came out and welcomed Guo Yu into the atrium. Guo Yu sat down for a long time, and Liang Yuan walked out. The two said some kind words, Liang Yuan asked some about Guo Yu's recent situation, Guo Yu thanked him again and again, and gave a generous gift.
Seeing the heavy boxes, Liang Yuan hurriedly said, "Guo Jun, you are too polite." If you sponsor my son's westward journey, the Liang family owes you a favor, and you should help, how can you be so respectful. You have just settled down, and there are a lot of places that need to be touched, so it's better to keep them for yourself. β
Guo Yu smiled: "Thank you Madame for your concern." However, with Lord Zheng's care, I have already settled it properly. Not only does it save time. It also cost a lot of money. Maoling is a good place. There are many rich people, the business is easy to do, and I also made a fortune. These things are not worth anything, just a little thought. β
Liang Yuan repeatedly excused herself, but Guo Yu just refused to take it back. Liang Yuan had no choice but to accept it. She also knew that a lot of rich people had recently moved to Maoling, all of whom were big and powerful in various counties. These people have a lot of money, and they are the best customers of Guo Yu's goods. Catching up with the New Year again, Guo Yu said that it is entirely possible to make a profit. In this case, the Liang family, as a middleman, should receive a little remuneration.
The two gossiped for a while, Guo Yu asked about the news of the Western Regions, and Liang Yuan's mood couldn't help but be a little heavy. Liang Xiao has been gone for more than half a year, and there is no news. The life of the Liang family is getting better and better, and Liang Yuan's worries are getting heavier and heavier, and she often has nightmares.
"No news yet." Liang Yuan sighed softly. Guo Yu's son Guo Wenbin and Liang Xiao are together, and she and Guo Yu are not purely interested. There is no need to hide it. "The concubine prays to God every day, and may my son turn evil into good fortune. Return safely. β
"Madame, and be relieved, let Lang be wise and brave, and he will definitely be able to return safely."
The two were comforting each other, and the servant in Tsing Yi walked in quickly, hurriedly walked in front of Liang Yuan, and said in a low voice: "Lord, a distinguished guest is here." β
Liang Yuan was taken aback. She knew who the distinguished guest was, either Liu Ling or the Marquis of Pingyang. She glanced at Guo Yu. Guo Yu stood up and prepared to leave. Liang Yuan thought about it and stopped him again. "Guo Jun, please wait aside, let the concubine introduce this noble person as Guo Jun."
Guo Yu was overjoyed and even said thank you. Liang Yuan asked him to stay in the side corridor first, waiting for the call, got up by himself, and personally greeted him outside the door. As soon as she walked to the door, the Son of Heaven in a strong suit walked in, followed by Li Danghu, Han Yan, Wei Qing and others. Seeing Liang Yuan, the Son of Heaven smiled and bowed his hand.
"Madame, how's it going?"
Liang Yuan was startled, and hurriedly turned sideways to the side. "The status of a prince is noble, and the women dare not be it."
"Deserved, deserved." The Son of Heaven laughed, and his mood couldn't be better. Liang Yuan didn't know what she meant, and Li Danghu said with a smile: "Mrs. Liang, the prince has received the news that Liang Xiao has made meritorious service in the Western Regions." β
Liang Yuan was overjoyed, and couldn't help but put her hands together and thanked the gods and goddesses. When the Son of Heaven saw it, he was overjoyed, and he didn't speak, but watched quietly. After a long while, Liang Yuan opened her eyes and warmly invited the Son of Heaven and others to sit in the hall.
The Son of Heaven relayed the news he had just received to Liang Yuan. Hearing Liang Xiao's hardships along the way, Liang Xiao was happy and nervous at the same time, and smiled with tears. The Son of Heaven was also emotional. "Liang Xiao is brave and strategic, young and promising, and he is a wife and a child."
Liang Yuan said repeatedly: "The prince and the marquis praise falsely, and the women dare not be it." She paused, and then said: "The dog can make a small difference, first of all, the wisdom of the imperial court, and secondly, the lessons of Master Huan and General Li, and at the same time, it is inseparable from the assistance of your colleagues." For example, Guo Wenbin, a Yanmen man who volunteered to be a guide, without him, let alone meritorious service, I am afraid that it is a problem whether he can go to Dawan smoothly. β
"That's right, without a guide, you can't get out of this 10,000-mile grassland." The Son of Heaven nodded in agreement. "Speaking of which, it's also my big man who is happy, just a few people can run rampant on the grassland and kill the evil king, which is really exciting good news. This trip to the west, even if the alliance with the Yue clan failed, it was a great achievement to broaden his horizons. Madam, when Liang Xiao returns, I will come to the door again to congratulate and ask for a glass of wine. β
"The prince is coming, the humble house is really full of brilliance, and the women dare not embrace the comet Qingdao, leading the whole family to welcome them. Not only that, but also invite neighbors, relatives and friends to get together. Liang Yuan stood up and bowed. Since the prince cared about the news of the Western Regions, the women dared to recommend a master who was familiar with the customs of the Western Regions to the prince. β
The Son of Heaven was silent for a moment, and chuckled: "I don't know which big guy it is?" β
"He is none other than the father of the dog guide Guo Wenbin, the Yanmen master Guo Jun who funded the dog's westward journey."
Hearing that it was Guo Wenbin's father, the Son of Heaven nodded. "It turned out to be him, when you see, when you see."
Liang Yuan didn't dare to slack off, and immediately invited Guo Yu out.
Although Guo Yu didn't know that the young man in front of him was the Son of Heaven, he knew that this prince's status was noble, and he was by no means comparable to the Liang family. He trembled and saluted, bowed his head, and listened respectfully. When the Son of Heaven asked, he replied, not more, not less. The Son of Heaven was very satisfied with his attitude, and was also very interested in what he said about the situation in the Western Regions, and dragged him to talk for a long time.
Liang Yuan saw that they were talking speculatively, so she tentatively asked the Son of Heaven to stay for dinner. The Son of Heaven was in a good mood and agreed. Liang Yuan was overjoyed, and invited Li Rongqing and Tuhuaer to prepare a banquet, and took out the wine sent by Guo Yu, ready to invite the Son of Heaven to taste it.
Wine is very common in the Western Regions, but it is rare in Chang'an. Guo Yu didn't bring much wine back, and most of it was given to Liang Xiao, and only a few bottles were brought to Chang'an, and they were not sold at all, and only two bottles were given to Liang Xiao. Liang Yuan was not willing to drink, and now she took it out to entertain distinguished guests.
Drinking wine and listening to the affairs of the Western Regions, the Son of Heaven was in a good mood, and the troubles caused by the book of King Huainan were swept away.

In the side yard, Wei Qing hugged the swaddling Wei Ling, and he was overjoyed.
Zheng Er had a cloth towel tied on his head, wearing a wide and bloated winter coat, leaning lazily on the head of the bed, watching Wei Qing tease the child. "Zhongqing, when are you going to pick me up?"
Wei Qing was stunned for a moment, and the smile on his face was a little unnatural. "What's wrong, not enough money?"
"It's not about the money." Zheng Er was a little impatient. "I live in my brother's house, and I don't have to worry about eating and drinking, but it's not my home after all. I'm going to live with you. β
Wei Qing scratched his head, sat next to Zheng Er, and smiled embarrassedly.
"Er, you also know that although I have a place to live in the Pingyang Hou Mansion, I spend most of my time in the palace on errands, and you can't see me even if you move there. My house is not big, my mother, two sisters, two younger brothers, and a little nephew, it is quite cramped, not as spacious as here. I'm looking for a house, and I'll move you in as soon as I find a suitable one. β
"You've said this a few times, when is it going to be?" Zheng Er hugged Wei Qing's arm and shook it vigorously. "Zhongqing, I want to be with you, do you know it?"
"I want to be with you too, I want to be with you." Wei Qing held Zheng Er's face, looked at no one around, and quickly kissed Zheng Er's lips. Before Zheng Er was doing anything, his face turned red first, as if he had been caught as a thief. Seeing this, Zheng Er was angry and funny, stretched out his finger, and tapped Wei Qing's head hard. "You, if only you had half the courage of my senior brother."
"How dare I compare with your senior brother." Wei Qing smiled unmindfully, a little distracted for a while. "He dares to go to the Western Regions without waiting for the edict, I can't do it. It's a long way, and it takes months to send a message, and if something happens, it's too late to ask the court, but how can it be good? β
Zheng Er disagreed. "What's so bad about this, just decide for yourself. Didn't my brother do a good job? β
Wei Qing licked his lips, a little hesitant. "But...... You don't know how many people in the DPRK say that he is not, this time he did well, next time ...... It doesn't have to be done well. In case ......"
"In case, in case, if you are so careful, what kind of merit will you make." Zheng Er snorted, let go of Wei Qing, turned his back, and was angry to himself. Wei Qing didn't dare to say any more, and hurriedly persuaded him softly. "Er, do you think this is good, next time I take a break, I will come to see you first and accompany you out for a walk."
"You talk counts?"
"Count, count."
"That's pretty much it." Zheng Er turned his anger into joy and pinched Wei Qing fiercely. "If you dare to lie to me, I won't spare you." She glanced at Wei Qing, her face was slightly dilushed, and she said in a low voice: "Say, have you missed me recently?" β
"I ...... I ......" Wei Qing's face was red and his ears were red.
"Thinkβ" Qin Ge's playful laughter sounded outside. "I said sister-in-law, can you hurry up, the banquet is about to disperse, if you hold Zhong Qing again, we can only leave him here."
Zheng Er shouted without showing weakness. "If you have the ability, you can leave him here and see if I will starve him."
Qin Ge laughed: "I'm not worried about starving him, but I'm worried that my little nephew won't have enough to eat." β
"You...... How do you tell them that? Zheng Er covered his face with his hands, and a low groan squeezed out of his fingers. Shame on the dead. βββ
