Chapter 607 Returning Home
The huge Guogong Mansion, when Shangguan Qiuyu stepped into it, he felt no less strict than the barracks.
Shangguan Qiuyu, who was still thinking about what had just happened, was also awakened by the solemn atmosphere in the mansion at this time.
The three thousand iron guards have all been replenished, and at the same time, with the return of Shangguan Xiong's grandfather and grandson to Yucheng, the mansion is full of people again.
Today's Chinese New Year, in addition to the necessary garrison, everyone has also lost a lot of constraints from previous years, but the number of guards on guard has not decreased.
Moreover, the Guogong Mansion occupies a very vast area, except for the Iron Guard, the most elite army of the Shangguan family, guarding the Guogong Mansion.
There is also an elite army of 30,000 soldiers stationed in the palace all year round, and the soldiers in this army are real warriors.
They have been stationed in the Guogong Mansion all the year round and have never left the Guogong Mansion for half a step.
And the most important thing is that this army is equipped with three hundred god-destroying bows, and half of the god-destroying bows of the previous family are concentrated here.
From this, one can imagine how strong the combat effectiveness of this army is.
Therefore, it is not so much that this is the mansion of the Shangguan family, but that this is the military camp of the Shangguan family, because there is no difference between the two.
In particular, the Guogong Mansion is so close to the Imperial Palace, and such a number of soldiers can be deployed in the palace.
Except for the Shangguan family, several other state governments do not have such rights.
This is still because the royal family understands the Shangguan family and fights abroad all the year round, and the palace needs a certain strength to protect itself.
Therefore, deliberately and secretly permitted, such treatment, there is no other semicolon in Yucheng.
The hot pot invented by Shangguan Qiuyu was completely spread by the Tie Si Tie Wu and the Tie Wei who came back with Shangguan Qiuyu.
It is rare for a group of iron guards to get together this year, and they gather together to eat hot pot in this big winter of the Chinese New Year.
Of course, in previous years, they didn't have this treatment, but this year, Shangguan Qiuyu ordered them to go down early, so they could have this rare opportunity.
Before entering the palace, Shangguan Qiuyu thought that he and his cheap grandfather had gone to the palace for a big dinner, and he had to make his own guards and the people in the palace happy during the New Year.
In previous years, because there was only one person in the Guogong Mansion, Shangguan Xiong, the entire Guogong Mansion was relatively deserted.
Now it's a good idea to make appropriate changes, so that everyone can at least feel the atmosphere of the New Year.
And everyone gets together to eat hot pot, this is the most cohesive way to gather the atmosphere.
Therefore, Shangguan Qiuyu asked Tie Si Tie Wu to arrange it by himself, so that everyone in the mansion could have a special year.
After entering the mansion, Shangguan Xiong did not return to his courtyard, but followed Shangguan Qiuyu to the courtyard that Nangong Shiluo had renovated.
Compared with other courtyards in the mansion that are like military camps, Shangguan Qiuyu is quite satisfied with the courtyard after Nangong Shiluo's renovation.
Because it was dark, even if the courtyard was full of lanterns, Shangguan Qiuyu couldn't feel the environment in the courtyard for a while.
However, at least it is not like the atmosphere that came to his face when he entered the mansion, and it was completely as oppressive as a military camp.
At least it makes him feel a lot more comfortable, not so depressed, and his body is a lot more relaxed.
Shangguan Xiong had long known about his grandson asking Nangong Shiluo to renovate the yard, so he didn't say much about it.
The courtyard where Shangguan Qiuyu is located is relatively close to Shangguan Xiong's courtyard, and it is the largest courtyard in the mansion except for Shangguan Xiong, the head of the family.
Before Nangong Shiluo wanted to renovate the courtyard, the housekeeper in the house also reported to Shangguanxiong in detail with fear.
In the end, without getting any reply, the housekeeper was relieved, and then Nangong Shiluo's major changes were quickly implemented.
Compared with the depression in other parts of the house, the people in the house prefer to stay in the courtyard where Nangong Shiluo is located.
Because it is relatively easy here, and at the same time, Shangguan Xiong is used to being alone, and he doesn't like to be served by people at all.
Therefore, the maids and subordinates transferred by the housekeeper from the fiefdom were basically arranged into the courtyard where Shangguan Qiuyu was.
Walking into the courtyard, Shangguan Qiuyu didn't find a single iron guard on duty, all the guards around were female soldiers, and they all seemed to be no weaker than ordinary iron guards.
There are not many female guards, no more than a hundred or ten, and as for how many, he is not very clear.
The courtyard where Shangguan Qiuyu is located has a separate kitchen, and at this moment, Nangong Shiluo is busy in the kitchen alone.
The staple food of raw meat slices needed for hot pot can be regarded as tiring enough for her.
Although she hadn't eaten this before, she heard from Tie Si that Shangguan Qiuyu liked hot pot very much, so she planned to prepare it herself.
Let Tie Si guide her on the side, except for Nangong Shiluo Lingxue next to her who occasionally casts her hands, she does the rest alone.
Since returning to the house in the afternoon, she has been busy, and she has been busy all the time until the moment when Shangguan Qiuyu and her cheap grandfather return to the house.
Because she has rarely cooked, she is very painful to cut raw meat slices during the whole process.
You must know that Shangguan Qiuyu is a full stomach, and his weight alone is better than that of several others.
Moreover, there is also her cheap grandfather, this family naturally wants to get together for the New Year, of course she can't just prepare the weight of Shangguan Qiuyu alone.
Originally, Tie Si planned to help, after all, he had done a lot of this kind of thing with Shangguan Qiuyu, so naturally practice makes perfect.
However, Nangong Shiluo didn't let him stretch out his hand, so he had to stay aside and watch.
At the same time, I couldn't stop praying in my heart that after the major general of his family came back, he would not have the idea of beating him up when he saw this scene.
Fortunately, Shangguan Qiuyu's grandfather and grandson returned relatively late, otherwise Nangong Shiluo would really not be able to handle so many things alone.
learned from the maid that Nangong Shiluo was busy in the kitchen at the moment, Shangguan Qiuyu glanced at the hot pot shelf in the living room, and knew what the other party was busy with.
"Grandpa, you wait here, I'll go and have a look at the back. ”
So, I said to my cheap grandfather, and went to the back kitchen under the leadership of the maid.
Because the two of them returned to the house, no one asked the housekeeper to inform the people in the house in advance, so Nangong Shiluo and the others didn't know.
Otherwise, they would not be rude and not go outside the house to greet them.
Tonight's festival, Shangguan Qiuyu's grandfather and grandson didn't want to disturb everyone, so they ordered it in advance, and all the etiquette could be waived.
did not let everyone stay outside the house in the winter season, waiting for the two to return to the house.
In addition, Shangguan Xiong has never liked this set of falsehoods, if he sees a large number of people waiting at the door, he will not be happy to see it.
However, the news of the two returning home quickly spread throughout the Guogong Mansion.
Shangguan Xiong also liked the unique way of eating hot pot, just as he looked around at the furnishings in the room.
Hearing that Tie Liu and the others were stopped outside the courtyard by a group of female guards, Shangguan Xiong waved his hand to the housekeeper who came to report and said:
"Let them do what they should do, and the rewards of all the people in the mansion will be doubled this year.
On this basis, an additional double reward of silver will be added, and it will be said that these are the rewards of Yu'er, the young general. ”
"Yes"
