Mei Xiaotong smiled, flipped through the post twice, and then said, "Now we are under the roof, and we have to bow our heads." Besides, didn't we already know that we couldn't escape this in the capital after all, and it wasn't worth being angry about this. ”

Mrs. Li also advised: "Even if you don't want to recognize him, but what kind of pot and bowl is he, as soon as he hears this official, he is big, and he really speaks, even if he is not his son, don't you have to go?" What do you do with him? It's good to ask clearly, see what your dad wants to do, we also have a number in our hearts, otherwise it's not a matter to keep mentioning it like this! ”

Mei Xiaotong stood up: "Okay, it's just right, this just changed into the clothes that went out, let's go see it like this!" ”

An Huahao nodded with a dark face, took the name post, walked to the front yard, and saw that the old man had already welcomed the two people who sent the name card to the gatehouse, and was serving them tea and pouring water.

The two people who delivered the letter, while waiting for tea, chatted with the old man and asked about the master's situation.

Although Lao Yutou was scared, he also knew that he was getting the monthly money, and he only vaguely said that he had just arrived, and he didn't know the situation of the master's family.

The two messengers, look at each other.

They are all the pro-soldiers who followed Grandpa Guo to Qicheng at the beginning, and after Grandpa Guo came back last time, although he looked angry, but since that August, Grandpa Guo received a letter from Jingxian County, he was really happy, and he drank wine all night in the study alone.

Even the brothers made a small mistake, if it was on weekdays, Grandpa Guo would not spare it lightly, and he let it go lightly for a few days.

In those days, they often heard Grandpa Guo chattering, saying that this stinky boy didn't say that he couldn't come to the capital, and he had to come if he didn't come, right?

At the same time, he instructed their brothers to clean up the house under the name of Grandpa Guo, and pick out two or three large and quiet yards.

Grandpa Guo didn't say it, but their brothers knew that this was only for the young master of Najing County.

Sure enough, in November, Grandpa Guo began to care about the people who gradually rushed to the capital from all over the place.

Until the end of November, there was a personal waiter, and there was gossip, saying that the young master of Jing County had entered Beijing and was now staying at the inn.

Their brothers watched Grandpa Guo push away all unnecessary entertainment in the past few days, stayed in the house, and didn't go to the backyard, just in the front yard, looking at the front yard from time to time, thinking about it, they were looking forward to the young master coming to meet him.

At the same time, he also instructed the steward to pick up a lot of good things from Grandpa Guo's own private treasury, which were all prepared for the young master.

The next day, when he heard that the young master had gone to the Du family, Grandpa Guo was stunned for a moment, but he immediately recovered, and said: "This stinky boy has a heart, and knows that the old fox of the Du family is kind to him——"

On the third and fourth days, Grandpa Guo looked forward to the young master every day, but every day started from anticipation and ended with disappointment.

Grandpa Guo's temper is also becoming more and more irritable, and he will be ruthless for the time being, and he will prepare various celebrity calligraphy and paintings for the young master.

Calligraphy posts, as well as precious inkstones and the like, are all put away by people.

But the next day, he packed up all the things and waited for the young master to come to the door.

Day after day, I heard the people sent out by the grandfather of the country to keep an eye on the young master's family, and came back every day to report, what young master and fellow villagers had a party, what was taken out by the son of the Gu family to expand his contacts, what young master bought an unclean and unhealthy yard, what young lady and the nine young young masters of the Li family went to buy a useless Zhuangzi......

Hearing this news, the young master's family had no intention of coming to the door at all, and directly became the father of the grandfather of the country, and when he arrived in the capital, he relied on himself to do things properly, the yard was also bought, the Zhuangzi was also purchased, the interpersonal circle was also expanded, and the small life seemed to be nourishing.

Look at your grandfather again, his face is as black as a day, and the people around him don't even dare to come out of the atmosphere recently.

There was the unlucky one, who came to visit Grandpa Guo, and when he encountered Grandpa Guo's anger, he was scolded so much that he didn't know what he was wrong with.

Even the backyard was panicked, and the grandfather and wife of the country sent people to ask, but things were not going well in the court? Why didn't Grandpa Guo go to the backyard these days, not to mention, how could even a few sons come to ask for peace and be driven back?

Grandpa Guo impatiently sent the people from his wife's side back, and for a while, there was a lot of noise in the Guogong Mansion, and even his wife had no face, who would dare to be a bird?

In the end, the old lady couldn't stand it anymore, and called Grandpa Guo, and the mother and son didn't know what to say, after coming out, Grandpa Guo didn't sleep all night.

said that it was a door sticker, but in fact, it was to bring the young master and the young lady back to meet the grandfather of the country.

These two people had dealt with An Huahao and Mei Xiaotong at the beginning, and they all knew that this was a tricky errand. Between this father and son, it is not a father-son filial piety type, at the beginning, the young master was still a showman, so he was able to categorically refuse the courtship of the grandfather, but now, I am afraid that it is even more difficult.

But in the end, they also saw that Grandpa Guo really wanted to compensate the young master, and also wanted to repair the relationship between father and son. At the beginning, even if Grandpa Guo, who was a father, was a little sorry for the young master, but now Grandpa Guo wants to make up for it, why is this son so ruthless?

Of course, these two pro-soldiers only dared to think about it in their hearts.

They know very well who Grandpa Guo is, and what they hate the most is that people meddle in his affairs, so when they saw An Huahao and Mei Xiaotong, they only respectfully stepped forward to say hello.

An Huahao took a step back and said coldly: "I don't dare to greet the two officials, dare to ask the two officials, but where do you want to take the two of us?" ”

The two pro-soldiers looked embarrassed, and only laughed and said: "The young master is joking, we are on the orders of the grandfather of the country, and I want to invite the young master and the young lady to go and talk about it." The grandfather of this country was afraid that the two of them would not be comfortable, so he would go to the inn in front

It's all wrapped, and now Grandpa Guo is already waiting for the two of you in the private room on the second floor, please-"

An Huahao snorted coldly, didn't ask any more, and just buried his head and walked forward.

The two soldiers smiled bitterly and led the way.

It was Mei Xiaotong who took the initiative to gossip with the two pro-soldiers: "Two big brothers, how did the grandfather of this country know that we have arrived in the capital?" Still know we live here? ”

The soldier said with a grin: "Grandpa Guo has always been concerned about this young master and young lady, especially when the young master was lifted, Grandpa Guo was happy and drank wine all night." Since that day, I have been looking forward to the two coming to the capital and reuniting as a family. ”

"Since the young master's family arrived in the capital, our grandfather knew that except for the last dynasty, all the entertainment was postponed, just waiting for the young master to come to the door, the result——"

Needless to say, the latter words naturally went without saying, but the result was that An Huahao didn't think about recognizing his father at all, and Song Hong's arrangement was naturally flattering and thrown to the blind man, and it was wasted.

An Huahao walked in front, and when he heard this, his footsteps paused, and his whole body suddenly exuded coldness, and his eyes seemed to be condensed with frost.

This change in the momentum of the whole body, the two pro-soldiers were immediately keenly aware of it.

The two looked at An Huahao suspiciously, not understanding what was wrong with this young master?

Mei Xiaotong pulled the corners of her mouth sarcastically, these two people were from Song Hong's side, so she naturally didn't think there was anything wrong.

But in their ears, that is, Song Hong had already known that they had arrived in the capital, but he was just watching from the sidelines, waiting for An Huahao to come to the door and beg him to go.

Come to think of it, have you forgotten, or have you never taken An Huahao's rejection to heart?

When he was in Qicheng, An Huahao had already made it clear that he almost turned his face with Song Hong, okay?

Not to mention, did Song Hong ever think about how An Huahao went to the Guogong Mansion to see Song Hong? He is a small person from other places, so he went to the Mansion to ask to see the grandfather? Is it a long life?

Or do you want to force An Huahao to admit that he is the first child born by Wei Guogong in front of everyone? If this spreads, Song Hong is the Duke of Weiguo, and at most he has an innocuous reputation on his back.

But what about An Huahao? The name of the outer room is tightly buttoned, and there is no need to have an impression of being inflammatory, how can he deal with himself among the literati and his classmates?

He hasn't participated in the spring festival in February, and his reputation is about to be ruined, so what will he talk about in the future? What is the future?

If he really wanted to rebuild the old friendship with An Huahao's father and son, when he knew that An Huahao needed to find a suitable yard to settle the next family, why didn't he Wei Guogong take a hand?

Why didn't you create an opportunity to introduce Anhua Hao to more contacts?

I did something wrong, which led to An Huahao's miserable life for nearly 20 years, and if I wanted to fix it, I actually sat in the home of a big family deep in the courtyard, waiting to climb out of the abyss and embark on the road of Qingyun.

This is the meaning of Song Hong's reconciliation?

bah

！ It's just a selfish and arrogant scumbag who has no one else in his eyes but himself.

The humiliation and anger in An Huahao's heart were even stronger, last time Song Hong showed how to regret in front of himself, how he couldn't live with his own mother, how he couldn't stand himself, how sorry he was, and he wanted to make up for himself.

Now it seems that it is just a middle-aged man who has achieved fame, power and women are at his fingertips, and when he is complacent, he occasionally recalls the little regret or unwillingness when he was young, and a little sigh on a whim.

I never felt guilty, I never regretted it, I just made a show that moved me.

Fortunately, An Huahao has no admiration for this so-called father, and the only softness, gratitude, respect and love in his life have been given to Xiaotong and his mother-in-law. So don't feel sad and sad, just angry and disgusting!

Suppressing the anger in his heart, An Huahao only quickened his pace.

Soon arrived at the front lobby of the inn, the front and back of the lobby was surrounded by a team of guards, the lobby was quiet, no one spoke, and there was not a single guest in sight.

Even the shopkeeper and those guys didn't know where they were arranged, and they couldn't see anyone.

At the entrance of the staircase, there are three steps and one post, five steps and one sentry, and there is a guard man with a long knife at his waist.

Seeing that the two pro-soldiers brought An Huahao and Mei Xiaotong in, no one showed surprise.

Mei Xiaotong chuckled psychologically, this patriotic prince Song Hong, being a father and a scumbag, but this can be seen from the guards around him, but he is quite talented.

Therefore put away the contempt.

In the largest private room on the second floor, there were four pro-soldiers standing at the door, and when they saw An Huahao and Mei Xiaotong coming up, one of them knocked lightly on the door, and then posted a report to the door: "Grandpa Yuguo, the young master and the young lady have arrived." ”

Song Hong's voice came from inside: "Let them in." ”

The soldier pushed the door open, and a warm fragrance mixed with the smell of wine, meat and vegetables came to his nose.

An Huahao raised his feet and walked in, Mei Xiaotong also followed, and as soon as he entered the room, the warmth hit his face.

A large pot of charcoal fire was lit in each of the four corners of the room, the room was warm, Song Hongxu came for a while, and the big puff on his body was thrown aside when he entered the room, and he was wearing a homely brocade robe at the moment, and he was crooked on the soft couch in the middle of the room, and in the incense burner of green jade next to him, a thin wisp of smoke slowly rose.

Looking at it this way, he doesn't look like a bloody killing god, but more like a pampered and suave celebrity.

Hearing the footsteps of the two, Song Hong, who was looking out the window in a daze, withdrew his eyes, glanced at An Huahao and Mei Xiaotong, and his face was quite peaceful: "Sit down." ”

An Huahao bowed respectfully: ": I saw Grandpa Guo in my late life!" ”

Mei Xiaotong also followed behind and made a blessing salute: "The woman has seen the grandfather of the country!" ”

Both polite and distant.

After arriving at the secret letter, Grandpa Guo was happy for a while, for a while

worried, and ruthless for a while. Song Hong's originally peaceful face froze, and he paused before reluctantly nodding.

For a while, An Huahao and Mei Xiaotong picked up the farthest position in the room from Song Hong and sat down, then closed their eyes and noses, and bowed their heads in concern and said nothing.

There was silence in the room.

After a long time, Song Hongcai broke the silence: "You can take the Zhongya Yuan exam this autumn, very good!" Can you be sure of next spring? ”

When An Huahao heard this, he hurriedly stood up and saluted, as if he had followed Gu Zikai out to meet the court officials in the past few days, respectful and humble: "Grandpa Xie Guo praised, and he didn't dare to be ashamed in his later life!" It is a fluke that Qiu Yu can be a central Asian dollar, and he does not dare to assert whether he is sure or not, he can only say that he will do his best when the time comes, and he will be worthy of his heart! ”

I didn't even change my rhetoric, I just changed my title.

Song Hong couldn't hear the perfunctory words, just looked at An Huahao's face that looked like himself, and then remembered his experience in Qicheng, and knew in his heart that the son in front of him was not the one who was raised by his side, and he could really turn his face if he didn't agree with him.

So he endured it again, and turned his face to look at Mei Xiaotong, "Are you used to coming to the capital?" Are you all settled? But what's so hard and tricky? ”

Mei Xiaotong smiled: "Thank you Grandpa Guo for your concern!" If Grandpa Guo asked a few days earlier, there are really two tricky and troublesome things, and now they have been solved, so I won't bother Grandpa Guo. Our family is settled, there is a place to live, food, and a few friends from the same village, there is nothing inconvenient! ”

When he said this, Song Hong's face stiffened, and a gloomy color suddenly flashed in his eyes, he was like an old fox, how could he not know that Mei Xiaotong's words were deliberately said to him.

Mocking him, if he really cared, he wouldn't wait for them to settle down before he came to behave.

Song Hong was also a little weak-hearted, he was holding a breath at that time, and he was also thinking about suppressing An Huahao's arrogance, he said that he didn't rely on him at the beginning, but now he has been admitted to the lifting of people, and he can't say that Chun Yu can go further.

At this time, if you don't press it, when An Hua Hao really takes the Jinshi exam and enters today's eyes, you really can't hold it if you can't say it, after all, there is a difference between civil and military, those people who are scholars, forget it when they are other times, but when dealing with their generals, it is a united heart.

If he could, he didn't want to do it, it would hurt the relationship between father and son.

But isn't it impossible? To outsiders, it seems that the Weiguo Mansion is imposing, and it is favored by the emperor, and he is the minister of the humerus.

The people in the family only know how to enjoy the various conveniences of the current Guogong Mansion, and no one sees the crisis behind this glamour.

For example, if he has been stable for a long time today, he has already seen that His Majesty has slowly begun to emphasize literature over military force, not to mention anything else, in recent years, most of the people promoted by His Majesty the Emperor are civil ministers.

For example, Zhu Haoran, who has only been an official in the court for a few years, but his promotion speed is fast, and he has not made an inch, but now he is climbing fast and is as tall as a person like him who has experienced a hundred battles and galloped on the field.

Of course, His Majesty the Emperor superficially treated him

These old ministers and the old people around them that day were still quite favorable.

But Song Hong had already smelled the crisis.

Now that he is still here, the emperor looks at the past love and his contributions, and the Weiguo Mansion can stand unharmed.

But if he is gone, what will happen to the Patriotic Mansion? Could it be that he watched the brand of the Patriotic Mansion slowly fall silent in the hands of his next generation, and finally became a third- or fourth-rate magnate?

Of course Song Hong didn't want to!

He wants the Song family to be glorious forever, at least to be able to become a century-old family, right?

After pondering for a long time, he thought of a way for the Song family, changed the court, and abandoned martial arts!

Let the next generation learn literature, with him watching, as long as there is a scholar in the next generation, who can be a jinshi, as long as he manages it well, gains a firm foothold in the court, and cultivates it for several generations, even if it is silent for a while, he will not leave the center of the court after all.

He planned well, but he pulled his sons and suddenly pricked his heart.

In the past, I was dedicated to making achievements, but I really didn't discipline my sons, but now I want to discipline them, but I find that it is too late.

In addition to An Huahao, he has five sons, the eldest is now 17 years old, and he is also married to his own son, but he only relied on him to find a position as the small leader of the Royal Forest Guard.

The others are not proficient, and the youngest fifth child looks smart and clever, but he is still young, and he really can't say what will happen in the future.

Song Hong worries every day, there is no successor to this Patriotic Mansion, but how can it be good? He promised when his father was dying that he would work hard to ensure that the Duke of Wei Guo would not fade for a hundred years!

Is it possible to work hard to live past the age of 100?

Therefore, the appearance of An Huahao made Song Hong see hope.
