Chapter 217: Visitation
Yesterday, King Wen's Mansion sent something, and today the long-term general of Andinghou's Mansion came, and when did the Chengguo Mansion become so lively.
Lin Hao was still sick, so naturally she didn't know about Gu Jinyang's visit.
Lin Shaohai personally entertained, this is Gu Jinyang who has just returned from a victory, although His Majesty has only awarded him a second-class meritorious service now, and he will also be promoted to an official in the future, but according to the product, he is also on an equal footing with him, so young and promising, Lin Shaohai does not dare to despise it.
"General Gu didn't know that he was coming, and he was not welcomed. Quick, please be seated. Lin Shaohai hurriedly beckoned Gu Jinyang to sit down.
"Thank you, uncle!"
This uncle made Lin Shaohai stunned for a while, he had no friendship with the Marquis of Anding, and secondly, except for the elderly, the two of them were officials in the same dynasty, and he really didn't dare to respond to this uncle.
"General Gu must not, you and I are officials in the same dynasty and have the same rank, this uncle is worthy ......of it," Lin Shaohai said, very polite, nothing to do in the Three Treasures Palace, why did Gu Jinyang suddenly come to the Chengguo Mansion to visit, Lin Shaohai still thought about it.
"Lord Guogong, in fact, I took the liberty to come here, and I didn't bring any courtesy, I just heard that you like fine wine, so I specially brought some for you to taste."
Gu Jinyang is also dealing with Cheng Guogong for the first time, and if he wants to marry his daughter from him, he naturally has to please his future father-in-law, and valuable things are out of place at this time. This wine is the most common, and he can't refuse it.
Lin Shaohai was confused, he really didn't know that Gu Jinyang suddenly came to visit and actually gave him wine, but there was a reason for it, and he would never send it to a bar for no reason?
"It's all in the next sentence that I haven't made it clear, I am friends with Miss Lin, the first time I came to visit, the etiquette is not good, and I ask Lord Guogong not to be surprised."
Gu Jinyang saw that he didn't understand very well, and he couldn't answer the words, so he had to bite the bullet.
"Oh! I see, but the little girl hasn't gone out in the cold for the past few days, General Gu, you ......"
Before Lin Shaohai's words were finished, he saw that Gu Jinyang had already gotten up, "Caught in the cold?" Is it serious? ”
is a person who fights on the battlefield, this fierce together, the innate courage is undoubtedly revealed, Lin Shaohai only raised his head and waved his hand repeatedly, "No, it's not in the way." General Gu was worried. ”
When Gu Jinyang heard this, he immediately put his heart back, and when he saw that Lin Shaohai didn't come back to his senses, he realized that he was out of shape, and hurriedly said, "It's rude to be here, Lord Guogong don't be surprised, I'm just worried about her illness ......."
Speaking of this, I realized that this explanation was even more inappropriate, and I wanted to cover it up more and more.
Gu Jinyang originally wanted to come to the mansion to meet her in the bright light, but when he heard that she was sick, his heart was raised, and he couldn't wait to see her, but because of the etiquette, he couldn't be so willful, so he had to endure it.
Lin Shaohai suddenly realized, it turned out that this General Gu was actually interested in Lin Hao, no wonder he would suddenly come to visit, and he was so anxious, and the concern on his face was naturally revealed, but he was afraid that people were not good at words, and after talking for a long time, he figured out his intentions, and blamed himself for not thinking well.
"Then it's ...... below"
Gu Jinyang stammered, and before he finished his sentence, Lin Shaohai said, "If General Gu doesn't dislike it, why don't you have a glass of wine together in the mansion at noon?" Also tell me about the scenery of this northern Xinjiang. ”
Gu Jinyang was immediately stunned, and then replied cheerfully, "Then it will disturb Lord Guogong." ”
"Where is it a nuisance, General Gu is too polite, coarse tea and light rice, I hope you don't dislike it."
"Don't dislike, don't dislike ......"
Lin Shaohairan knew the status of the Marquis of Anding in the court, unlike the Marquis of Zhennan, the Marquis of Anding was loyal, fought against the tile spurs all the year round, won the trust of the emperor, and did not return to Beijing, and did not associate with the courtiers in the court, this alone made the emperor feel much more at ease.
What's more, Gu Jinyang is young and promising, and he is extremely calm, so he has made such great military achievements.
Since everyone has come to the door, he also thinks about it, and if he likes it, it's useless, he wants his daughter to like it, but if he can form an in-law, the position of the Chengguo Mansion in the court is stable and rocky, and it will not arouse His Majesty's suspicion, and the door is right, very good!
…………
After eating and drinking, Gu Jinyang couldn't find any reason to stay, so he just said, "Wait a few days for Miss Lin to get better, I'll come to visit again, thank you Lord Guogong for your hospitality." ”
"What did General Gu say, I haven't drunk and chatted with people like this for a long time, General Gu's insight will definitely be extraordinary in the future......"
Lin Shaohai's words are half sincere and half promised, Gu Jinyang is the same age as Lin Chen, but his ability to see is far above his two sons, and he is calm, when it comes to the war, there is no exaggeration and boasting, he is very stable, Lin Shaohai likes it more and more he comes into contact with him, and he has a dignified appearance and an extraordinary appearance.
"Lord Guogong praised it falsely, but it's just a humble opinion, I'm still young, and I haven't seen many things thoroughly." Gu Jinyang also drank a lot of wine just now, and he didn't lose his temper in the end, and said sincerely.
"You often come and sit when you have time, and I don't have someone to talk to." Lin Shaohai is telling the truth, since he saw the true face of officialdom, he knows that human affection is just icing on the cake, who has ever been willing to lend a helping hand in times of crisis?
Therefore, he does not make friends, and he is a good person of his elegance, and he no longer has to accept those officials, and he does not have to have a different face before and after.
"Thank you, Lord Kokuto."
Gu Jinyang was already unexpected, after having a meal together, he didn't expect Cheng Guogong to have such a good impression of him, and asked him to come often, so that he could see her without mentioning it, and he could still mention the marriage logically?
I never thought it would go so smoothly, today's trip is the right one, Gu Jinyang can't show his joy in front of Lin Shaohai, but he is really happy, the person he has been concerned about for a long time is about to meet!
"Then I'll come back in a few days."
Gu Jinyang struck while the iron was hot, this daughter-in-law didn't pass the door, he still needed to cheer up and do this as soon as possible, otherwise he would miss it all day long.
"Steward Zhang, send General Gu out well......" Lin Shaohai's face was pale, it seemed that he was happy today, Steward Zhang didn't know how to look at the road, he looked at the road carefully, and personally sent Gu Jinyang out of the mansion, Gu Jinyang got on the horse and looked at the Chengguo Mansion for a while, before whipping away!
Steward Zhang turned around and went back to the house, it's strange these days, so many people have come to care about the girl, and they have come to the door in person.
Thinking about it, he still told the girl about it, he had never heard the girl say that he knew General Gu of the Marquis of Anding, and the purpose of coming today was also for the girl, what kind of thoughts did he have, he could understand it at a glance, but I don't know what the girl's attitude is?
Steward Zhang thought like this but changed his way in the middle of the road, he still went to talk to his wife about this matter, the old man stayed for dinner, and it was impossible for Mrs. not to know, since he was waiting by the side, he knew better than others.
