Chapter 20, The Purpose of the Reception

Guo Yi enjoyed Ling'er's sister's adoring little eyes, and preferred her melodious voice like a yellow warbler, wanting to hear her say the title of "Brother Xiaoyao" from her mouth.

If you hear it on the night of the cave house. Well, I'm going to lose my soul.

"Brother Xiaoyao, what about the other sentences of this poem?"

"I'll talk about this later, Lord Tingwei Yang's mansion has arrived."

Guo Yi smiled secretly, relying on his little sister not understanding the true meaning of the words, and wantonly taking advantage of his mouth.

Zhao Ling'er was not annoyed, pursed her lips and smiled: "Then I'll wait." ”

By this time, the carriage had stopped, and the two of them stepped out of the carriage one after the other.

At this time, it was already evening, because Yang Xiu held a cocktail party, today's Tingwei Mansion was particularly lively, many dignitaries and nobles, and the children of the family were invited to come, and there was an endless stream of people coming and going at the gate.

Among them are the elderly ministers, the high-spirited young man, and the young lady of the family in her prime.

When they saw the carriage surrounded by many brocade guards, everyone looked sideways, secretly speculating about the identity of the owner of the carriage, until the two showed up.

"Guo Zilin!"

I don't know who shouted, and then I saw a man in brocade walking out of the crowd and looking at Guo Yi with a puzzled expression.

"Didn't you fall overboard, how did you get here?"

But when he saw Zhao Ling'er who followed him out of the carriage, his heart suddenly brightened.

Who doesn't know that the Guo family's Qilin'er is as romantic as his father, and the emperor's edict may not be able to invite him, but he will not fail to come when the beautiful woman invites him.

"Your Excellency?" Guo Yi stared at the young man in brocade for a while, but he couldn't find out his identity.

"Okay, you Guo Zilin, you don't even recognize your own brothers, I see that you only make a beautiful woman in your eyes, and you don't recognize your brothers." The boy in brocade was slightly angry when he heard this, after all, he took the initiative to come up to say hello, but the other party didn't know him.

Brothers of the same kind?

Guo Yi still didn't expect it, after all, there was no such person in the memory of his predecessor.

When Zhao Ling'er got out of the carriage, she explained to him: "Brother, this is Guo Zizheng, the son of the Guo family, and Ling's cousin!" ”

Guo Yi asked in a low voice, "Who are you Guo?" ”

Zhao Ling'er shook his head secretly when he heard this, his uncle really didn't have anything to do with the Yingchuan Guo family, and his brother didn't even know his cousin.

So he explained in a low voice: "Guo Tu, the lord of the Yingchuan Guo clan, Mr. Gongze." ”

Guo Tu!!

Can Guo Tu also be called everyone?

Guo Yi's face is strange, am I wrong?

Or is the world wrong?

Guo Xian saw that Guo Yi didn't recognize him, so he immediately left angrily, but was stopped by Guo Yi.

Guo Yi said with a smile: "Brother Xian, I haven't seen you for many years, but you are becoming more and more suave, no wonder my brother can't recognize you." ”

In his memory, when his father was far away, Guo Tu took Guo Xian from his youth to see him.

It's just that a few years have passed, and the faces of the two brothers have changed, and Guo Yi naturally can't recognize them.

Guo Xian's face softened a lot when he heard this, but he said: "I still have Brother Dao Zilin, and I don't recognize me as a down-and-out brother!" ”

"Wherever and wherever my father and uncle have a deep relationship, no matter what, you will always be my brother."

Guo Yi firmly believes that it is far better to have one more friend than one more enemy, so he never makes enemies easily.

Because you never know if you're going to be down, and at that time, people will pull you or push you down.

"That's pretty much it." Guo Xian felt very comfortable when he heard this, but he was a little arrogant and refused to admit it.

Then he asked, "I heard that my brother was assassinated, but is it better?" ”

Guo Yi smiled, patted his chest, showed off his weak lean flesh and said, "Naturally, how can the men of my Guo family be so easy to murder?" Those ups and downs only make us stronger and more fearless. ”

Unexpectedly, Guo Xian agreed: "That is, with Jinyiwei's ability, he will definitely be able to find out the origin of the assassin, and the assassin and the mastermind will definitely be cut by a thousand knives." ”

When he saw that Jin Yiwei was with him to protect Guo Yi, he knew that this notorious organization had intervened, and the assassin couldn't escape!

Guo Yi asked: "By the way, isn't my uncle an official in Jizhou, why did you come to Chang'an?" ”

As far as he knows, Guo Tu in this life is the history of Jizhou Thorn.

Guo Xian explained: "My father has been transferred back to Chang'an by His Majesty and will be appointed as Taichang, and I will come back with me. ”

"It's too often."

"Xu Shu, Xu Yuanzhi, he will take over my father's position as the assassin of Jizhou."

Guo Yi nodded abruptly, secretly speculating in his heart about Liu Bei's intentions.

It is undeniable that in this peaceful and prosperous era, the significance of Taichang's Jiuqing is far better than the position of Jizhou Assassin.

But if it is placed in this extraordinary period, it can even be said that it is rising and descending secretly, and Guo Tu, the head of the Guo family, is staring at it under his nose.

Is it to co-opt, or to be on guard?

Or is it both?

Looking at his cousin's face, he seemed to be quite happy with this transfer.

Guo Yi didn't break it, and said with a smile: "Congratulations, it seems that my uncle is going to be reused by His Majesty." ”

Guo Xian said modestly: "My brother has said it, you have a bright future in this family, you have two marquis at a young age, and the honor and favor of the Son of Heaven are fully revealed, but it's a pity for my uncle."

His words came to an abrupt end, and in his memory, Guo Yi did not allow others to mention his father's departure.

I heard that he still does not want to be an official because of the influence of his father.

Guo Yi shook his head and said: "It's a pity, my father retired and retired to the countryside, this is the way to escape." ”

"Brother Gaoyi, it seems that you have seen through it."

"People always have to look forward, and besides, I can't change my father's choice."

Several people immediately walked towards Yang Xiu's mansion.

Halfway through, Guo Yi casually asked, "Zizheng, do you know the reason why Yang Tingwei held this drinking party?" ”

Guo Xian was silent, seemingly a little embarrassed.

Seeing this, Guo Yi smiled and said, "If it's inconvenient, it doesn't hurt to tell me." ”

"Where, my brother is also a child of a family, there is nothing to say. To tell the truth, this time it is called the Poetry Society, but it is actually for the imperial examination. ”

Guo Xian said in a low voice: "This imperial examination is obviously digging up our foundation, once the books are popularized in the world, the influence of our family will be greatly reduced."

At this time, the imperial examination was no secret, from the advent of printing, to the construction of academies in various places, the recruitment of students regardless of their origin, and then to the current public examination, the emperor's intention has been fully revealed.

He wants to break the monopoly of officialdom by the family, so that the world is poor, and the common people are qualified to be officials.

Although it is not possible to achieve equal employment for the time being, at least the family cannot be allowed to cover the sky with one hand, otherwise future monarchs will inevitably encounter a situation of being hollowed out.

Guo Yi echoed: "Yes, Your Majesty has laid down the country with the support of our family, but now he wants to unload the mill and kill the donkey."

"Who's to say it isn't? I heard that the prime minister is planning to resign. ”

"Really?"

"Eight or nine is not far from ten."

"Okay, Uncle Xun is worthy of being the head of the family in the world, and he has ambition!"

Flutter...
