At the same time.

In the inner courtyard of the Yanwang Palace.

After listening to Zhu Di's words, a trace of strangeness flashed in Xu Miaoyun's eyes, and said, "Your Highness, what is the reaction?" Is there any excuse? ”

Zhu Di said: "Hey, Guo Qing didn't say a word of shirk, he was just full of excitement, and he thanked him again and again!" ”

The corners of Xu Miaoyun's mouth rose slightly, "This Guo Changshi is really a wonderful person!" ”

"Who is a wonderful person, obviously he is a thief official who is greedy for those good things in our house!"

Although he was scolding, Zhu Di's face was full of pride.

Xu Miaoyun didn't continue to ask, but thought about it and said: "Your Highness, the Liu family is also a big family, and ordinary objects are not looked down upon, and there is no shortage of extravagant and valuable things in the Ming Dynasty.

Why don't you pick up a few large Korean ginsengs, two knives of Korean tribute paper, and some ivory, rhino horn, glazed vessels, coral, and precious stones...... Some of these tributes from each state were selected. In addition, bring a few more sea fish to Guo Changshi. ”

"Very good, just bring these objects to Guo Qing......"

Following.

Guo An took the carriage directly and came to the Yanwang Palace.

At the gate of the palace, there were already two carriages waiting.

Next to the carriage, Li Wang led more than a dozen soldiers in civilian clothes with steel knives around his waist to escort him.

"Li Baihu, what is this?" Guo An asked in some surprise.

"His Royal Highness is worried that Guo Changshi is carrying so many things, and it will inevitably attract some unsightly thieves along the way.

Therefore, he specially ordered to protect Guo Changshi all the way. Li Wang explained.

Guo Anxin was overjoyed, and hurriedly saluted towards the palace gate.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your kindness."

Then, he arched his hand towards Li Wang, "There are Lao Li Baihu and all the brothers!" ”

"Guo Changshi, where is this, can escort Guo Changshi to travel, or are we fighting for it!"

Li Wang hurriedly said.

……

Beiping Mansion is more than 800 miles away from Shunde Mansion.

Guo An and his entourage set off from Beiping Mansion, passed through Baoding Mansion and Zhending Mansion all the way, and then entered Shunde Mansion.

Along the way, I really encountered some robbers.

However, they were all petty fights, and they were directly slaughtered by Li Wang and others effortlessly.

After walking for eight days, Guo An returned to Guojia Village, Shunde Prefecture.

Guojia Village is said to be a village, but in fact, under the gathering of the Guo family, it has become a large village with a population of hundreds of households.

And the Guo family is the real talker in Guojia Village.

The annual chief and lieutenant chief are basically decided by the Guo family.

Villages like Guojia Village are also many in Daming.

It's just that some big families in the village were too presumptuous and were cleaned up by Lao Zhu.

Some of the big families in the village are quiet and self-contained, and they are often willing to give, and no one will provoke them when they are looking forward to raising hope in the countryside.

It's like the Guo family.

The Guo family has survived in Guojia Village for hundreds of years, and the old house has been renovated many times, and by Guo's father's generation, the Guo family's house has covered an area of more than 20 acres, and there are dozens of houses, and there are dozens of servants.

"The young master is back!"

As soon as Guo An and his party entered the entrance of the village, someone had already greeted them.

When Guo An arrived at the door of the house, the door had already been opened, Guo's father, Guo's mother, and a half-grown son, Guo An's second brother Guo Gui.

When relatives meet, they should hug each other and cry, which is extremely touching.

However, when he came to Guo An, it made Guo An a little embarrassed, and he didn't know how to face his blood relatives.

However, fortunately, there are still Li Wang and other generals who can be used to change the topic.

After hearing that Li Wang turned out to be the guard of the Yanwang Mansion, Guo's father hurriedly made a polite gesture, and then ordered his subordinates to arrange guest rooms for Li Wang and others.

Then, they all looked at the objects that King Yan brought back to Guo An with curiosity.

Then there was another round of praise.

The day after Guo An returned, a large number of people came to visit, including gentry, wealthy merchants, and some minor officials in Shunde Mansion.

For these people, Guo An politely chatted a few words, and as for the gifts sent by these people, they were all handed over to Guo's father to look at and deal with.

Day 3.

Guo An, under the leadership of Guo's father, went to the Liu family's mansion in Shunde Mansion.

Even if they live in the capital of Shunde Mansion, the Liu family's mansion is many times larger than the Guo family.

At the gate of the Liu family, Guo An, under the leadership of Guo's father, met with the elders of the Liu family one by one.

"The little nephew Guo An and Guo Ningyi have seen Uncle Liu, aunt, and ......"

"Hahaha, Ning Yi is really a talent, a young man!"

Liu Huiyuan is still very satisfied with Guo An's appearance.

In fact, the appearance of the old Guo family still belongs to the type of delicate and good-looking, giving people an extremely good impression on the first side.

In the midst of the greetings of the crowd, Guo Lin, an old servant of the Guo family, had already taken a group of Guo family members to bring the gifts Guo An brought back to the carriage one by one.

"Please don't be surprised by my uncle, my nephew came to the door for the first time, and I didn't know what my uncle and aunt liked, so I brought some Korean ginseng, Korean tribute paper, ivory, rhino horn, glass vessels, coral, and precious stones...... In addition, there are a few sea fish for uncles and aunts to try! ”

"Goryeo Tribute Paper, Coral, Jewel ......"

Liu Huiyuan is also a person who knows goods, and when he heard the names of these prices, he suddenly showed surprise.

"Ning Yi, if the old man doesn't admit his mistake, these objects are all tributes from Fanbang!"

"Uncle Liu has good eyesight, these are all items that His Royal Highness King Yan specially took out from the treasury when he learned that his little nephew was going home."

Guo An explained.

"His Royal Highness King Yan actually values Ning Yi so much!" A hint of amazement flashed in Liu Huiyuan's eyes.

"The little nephew has no merit or effort, but he is deeply loved by His Royal Highness King Yan, and he is extremely ashamed!"

Guo An said humbly with some embarrassment.

Hearing this, the corners of Liu Huiyuan's mouth twitched slightly, "Ning Yi is too modest, now I am in the northern provinces of the Ming Dynasty, who else does not know, the right chief of the Yanwang Mansion in Beiping, Guo An Guo Ningyi?" ”

As he spoke, Liu Huiyuan seemed to remember something, so he said to Guo An: "Has Ning Yi not seen Bai Wei yet?" ”

Immediately, without waiting for Guo An to speak, he directly instructed the housekeeper on the side, "Fu Bo, take Ning Yi to the back house." ”

"Yes, sir!"

Fu Bo, the housekeeper of the Liu Mansion, responded, and hurriedly said to Guo An: "Young Master Guo, please come here." ”

Guo An got up and gave it.

"Young Master Guo, please!"

It's just that what Guo An didn't expect was that after taking him into a garden, that Fu Bo disappeared without a trace.

Guo An looked up, but he didn't find it.

I could only sigh helplessly and walk inside.

Well?

Suddenly, Guo An paused, and subconsciously looked at the gazebo not far ahead.

A Qianying was sitting in the gazebo, holding an ancient book in his hand, and seemed to be watching it carefully, but according to Guo An's years of experience in reading, the Qianying in the pavilion was not looking at it at all.

Rather, they are waiting for one person.

Guo An took a deep breath and slowly walked in.

"Under Guo An, Guo Ningyi."

After introducing himself, Guo An sat on the stool on the side, picked up the melons and fruits on the side, and ate them.

After being in Liu's Mansion for so long, he was really a little thirsty.

And as Guo An sat down, the shadow finally raised its head, and a pair of beautiful eyes also looked at Guo An.

"The folk girl Liu Baiwei has seen Guo Changshi!"

Guo An was subconsciously stunned, his fiancée was three points more beautiful than the portrait.

"The sister of the Liu family is really waiting for us."

"How so?"

"If you weren't waiting for us, why did the sister of the Liu family call us Guo Changshi directly when she saw us?"

"Today, only the uncle of the Guo family brought the elder brother of the Guo family to the mansion, and about the matter of the elder brother of the Guo family admonishing King Yan to send people to the sea to fish, I am afraid that everyone in the entire Shunde Mansion knows about it, and no one knows about it.

Bai Wei naturally knew that the elder brother of the Guo family, whom he had met as a child, had now made such great achievements! ”

"I see!"

Guo An nodded slightly, and then said with some emotion: "Yes, the world is unpredictable, who would have thought that the slugs in childhood ......"

Before he finished speaking, Guo An hurriedly shut up.

However, the delicate face in front of him was directly flushed, like a steamed crayfish!

Guo An couldn't wait to give himself a slap, and hurriedly explained with a smile: "Don't blame the sister of the Liu family, Ning Yi somehow has a ...... mouth today."

"No, it's not ......"

Guo An found that the more he said, the more unclear he became.

Seeing Guo An's appearance, Qianying on the opposite side glared at Guo An with shame and annoyance, picked up the book in his hand, and ran out.

By the time Guo An came back to his senses, there was no one in the pavilion.

In addition to the faint aftertaste in the air, it was like a dream.

……

Afternoon.

On the way back, Father Guo asked directly in the carriage, "Ning Yi, how do you feel about the second daughter of the Liu family today?" ”

"Very good!"

Guo An said directly.

"Very good!"

Father Guo directly raised his beard with excitement, and said: "The old man will go to Brother Liu tomorrow to discuss the marriage!" ”

"Father, be reserved!"

Guo An hurriedly said.

Guo's father glared at Guo An directly, and Guo An hurriedly explained: "I have to give the Liu family a time to react!" ”

"Hmph, what's the reaction, why weren't they reserved when they received the gift you brought today?" Guo's father said.

Guo An: "......"

At the same time.

In Liu's Mansion, the same scene happened, but the atmosphere in Liu's Mansion was much more relaxed than that in Guo An's carriage.

On the second day, Guo's father still did not go to Liu's mansion.

Because, Guo An is leaving.

Zhu Di only gave Guo An twenty days of leave.

Now, Guo An has used it for twelve days.

The remaining eight days were spent on the way back.

It's just that the sky doesn't follow people's wishes.

Guo An and the others had just entered Zhending Mansion when they encountered a heavy rain.

Finally, when the rain passed, the sky cleared, and when I arrived in Baoding Mansion, I encountered another heavy rain.

In this way, by the time Guo An returned to Beiping Mansion, it had been more than four days.

The second day back to Pei Binh Province.

Guo An came to Yanwang Palace to meet Zhu Di.

The first thing Zhu Di said surprised Guo An, "What Guo Qing said is really right, since these days, Zhu Liang has led people to catch three waves of thieves who are spying on the iron smelting station near the iron smelting station. ”

"Your Highness, can you find out who sent it?" Guo An hurriedly asked.

Zhu Di said coldly: "Hmph, after those thieves were blocked by Zhu Liang, they either ran out desperately or committed suicide!" ”

"There is really someone who dares to pull His Highness's tiger whiskers!"

Guo An was amazed, and then asked again: "Your Highness, I don't know what Master Yan's good plan is?" ”

"If the three waves return in vain, the thief will retreat!"

Zhu Di said hatefully.

"Just retreat!"

Guo Anxin was relieved and asked again: "Your Highness, I don't know if there are thieves snooping on the wool washing factory in Dagukou?" ”

Zhu Di said: "It's just some wool, who would waste so much effort to snoop?" ”

"Yes!"
