Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

However, from the beginning to the end, Zhao Feixuan slept soundly, snoring loudly, and did not wake up at all.

Hui Niang sat on the bed with her legs crossed, and sobbed until dawn.

……

……

Three days later, Gao Shilian led Zhao Mingde, Zhao Feixuan and others to leave Beijing and went to Yong'an Village in Yong'an Mansion to supervise the construction of the imperial tomb.

On that day, Cui Henian and Tang Jian led officials from the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Industry to see them off.

However, Guo Ye was absent and did not come to see Gao Shilian off.It wasn't that he was afraid of Cui Henian and didn't dare to meet him, but that he was entangled in trivial matters in the Hou Mansion today and couldn't leave for a while.

This trifle is nothing but his cheap father-in-law Wu Maocai, who is far away in the middle of Sichuan and Longxi, who has traveled all day and night to come to Chang'an.

The cheap father-in-law drove to Chang'an from afar, and Wu Xiuxiu was in Huo Guogong's mansion at this time. His son-in-law couldn't leave Wu Maocai alone in Yizhou Hou's mansion, could he?

Afterwards, he also asked his servants to rush to Huo Guogong's mansion to invite Wu Xiuxiu, the owner of Pingyang County, back to Hou's mansion as soon as possible.

Wu Xiuxiu was still on the way and hadn't arrived home, so Guo Ye had no choice but to personally entertain Wu Maocai, chatted with him in the flower hall, and told Wu Xiuxiu the whole story of Wu Xiuxiu's life from beginning to end.

After Wu Maocai heard this, his face was full of disbelief. He didn't expect that Wu Xiuxiu, the daughter he adopted from a young age, was actually the biological daughter of His Royal Highness Li Xiuning, the eldest princess of the Tang Dynasty, and Chai Shao, Huo Guogong.

Wu Maocai sat on the chair, his legs were trembling, and he kept muttering: "It's incredible, it's really incredible, I didn't expect that Xiuxiu of my family is still the child of the princess and the son-in-law, and she was married to the emperor and was sealed. Princess Pingyang. Tsk tsk, my old Wu family is really smoking, haha, now I look at Dongliu Township, oh no, I look at the entire Longxi County, who would dare to say that the Wu family is a rich man in the countryside?"

Seeing the appearance of the cheap father-in-law, Guo Ye was afraid that the old man would be too excited and the heart would not be loaded enough, so he finally twitched.

So he got up and went around behind Wu Maocai, gently stroking his back and persuading him: "Father-in-law, calm down, calm down. Xiuxiu will come back from Huo Guogong's mansion in a while, you old man can't meet her with trembling shoulders and trembling legs." Bar?"

It’s okay if you don’t say this, but after he said it, Wu Maocai suddenly became worried about gain and loss, turned his head and asked Guo Ye with his eyes widened: "My son-in-law, you said that Xiuxiu has met his own father now, and his father is our elder brother." What about Duke Huo, who has made great achievements in the Tang Dynasty? She was also made the princess of Pingyang by the emperor, do you think she will recognize me as a father after seeing me?"

"Puchi~"

Guo Ye couldn't help laughing out loud, and persuaded him, "Father-in-law, don't think about it. You brought up Xiuxiu by yourself. Don't you know what kind of character she is? She will be the kind of person who climbs the dragon and attaches the phoenix. An ungrateful woman? Don’t worry, no, Chai Shao is her real father, but your old man brought her up since she was a child, and she is better than a real father if she is not a real father. Are you right? If she dares to deny you , I slapped her with a big mouth, won't I hit her?"

"Miss!"

When Wu Maocai heard Guo Ye's last ruthless words, he immediately lowered his face and yelled, "If you dare to hit my Xiuxiu, I will fight with you. Are you capable? Even dare to hit my Xiuxiu, you You know, she is a real nobleman, she is related to the royal family, she will call the emperor uncle when she sees the emperor, how dare you hit Xiuxiu?"

Wu Maocai immediately turned his face, and yelled at Guo Ye.

Guo Ye was speechless for a while. Damn, didn't my buddy just say that to make you feel at ease, old man?When did I play Xiuxiu?

Damn, I really don't know good people!

Seeing that Wu Maocai was provoked by him to protect the calf, and actually got into a fight with him, Guo Ye had to change the subject quickly, and asked suddenly: "Father-in-law, didn't I mention it when I sent someone back to Longxi to deliver a letter to you? You also inform my mother and Zhenniang that there will be a companion on Chang'an Road together? What's the matter? Have you forgotten my mother and Zhenniang?"

"Yeah? Look at my dog's memory!"

With a slap, Wu Maocai patted his forehead hard, and shouted in a hurry: "I actually forgot such an important thing. Well, son-in-law, it's not that I didn't inform your mother and the others, but that they are really serious at this time." Can't get away, can't leave Longxi for a while and can't come to Chang'an."

Guo Ye wondered: "Why is this? It's not just the New Year and the festival, why can't we make it through?"

Wu Maocai gave Guo Ye an angry look, and snorted, "Is there anyone like you who is a son or a husband? Don't you know that Zhenniang is currently in confinement? Where are confinement women who can travel long distances?" Yes? Do you know a little bit about the world? I really don’t know how you became an official, but you are so confused..."

"What?"

Guo Ye put his hands on Wu Maocai's shoulders with a sudden force, and pressed them down heavily, causing Wu Maocai to bark his teeth and cry out in pain.

But Guo Ye ignored it completely, and shouted with a surprised face: "Father-in-law, you just said that Zhenniang is in confinement, so you mean that Zhenniang gave birth?"

Wu Maocai yelled in pain: "Bullshit, you're pregnant in October, and you'll be born when the day comes, huh? Don't you know that Zhenniang is already born?"

"I rely on!"

Guo Ye shouted loudly: "No one informed me, and no one sent me a letter. Chang'an is far away from the mountains and rivers of Longxi. Where can I go? By the way, father-in-law, did Zhenniang give birth smoothly? How is your body now?" So? Also, was she born a boy or a girl?"

"Yo yo, let go first, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts, so many questions, just wait for me to answer you slowly, bastard, let go quickly, you hurt me!"

Obviously, Guo Ye's whole heart was hanging on Zhenniang's side at this time, and when he asked Wu Maocai urgently, he was very ruthless again.

Chapter 885

Hearing Wu Maocai howling in pain, Guo Ye quickly pulled away the hands that were on Wu Maocai's shoulders, and said with an embarrassed smile: "Father-in-law, don't blame me, I was so excited when I heard the news for the first time. , so that’s why it’s just in a moment of desperation...haha...Your lord has a lot, it’s really Haihan.”

Wu Maocai snorted, shook his shoulders and grinned again, then glared at Guo Ye and said, "Zhenniang is in good health, she is in confinement, and is under the care of your old lady, she is recovering very well. Moreover, Zhenniang also gave birth to a daughter who weighs seven catties and eight taels for you, you have a queen in the Guo family!"

An overweight girl?

Guo Ye was overjoyed and said pleasantly: "Father-in-law, do you mean that Mother Zhen gave our Guo family a daughter?"

Wu Maocai was still worrying about Guo Ye's hot hand to destroy his father just now, how could he have a good face for him, and said impatiently: "It's not your daughter, could it be someone else's?"

"Bah, bah, who would like to be a father and take over Pan Xia?"

Guo Ye was not happy now, and muttered: "Zhen Niang is definitely my Guo Ye's seed, he weighs seven catties, tsk tsk, it's really heavy. Happy event, this is a great happy event, no , I have to celebrate it."

"What happy event deserves your joy? Husband!"

Hearing the voice, it seemed that Chai Xiuxiu had returned from Duke Huo's mansion after hearing the news.

As soon as Wu Maocai heard his daughter's voice, he immediately rushed over. He didn't know whether it was because of his eagerness to miss her daughter, or because he was hurt by Guo Ye's slap in the face just now. Anyway, he came to Chai Xiuxiu with tears streaming down his face, crying: "I My daughter, I miss my father and me, woo woo..."

Chai Xiuxiu hadn't seen her father for a long time. To be exact, it should be her adoptive father. Naturally, she was overjoyed. She took Wu Maocai's arm and walked back into the flower hall together. The father and daughter exchanged heartfelt words.

And Guo Ye completely ignored the sensational scene of Wu Maocai and Chai Xiuxiu's reunion, and continued to immerse himself in the joy and happiness of becoming a father.

After Yue Mo's father and daughter chatted for a while, Chai Xiuxiu asked Guo Ye and said, "Husband, I just heard you talking about a happy event outside the flower hall. Where did the joy come from?"

With a smirk on his face, Guo Ye told Xiuxiu that Zhenniang gave birth to a daughter in Longxi and gave birth to a very poor girl.

Chai Xiuxiu couldn't help being astonished when she first heard it, and then she heard that Zhenniang had just given birth to a daughter, she couldn't help but secretly heaved a sigh of relief, and then she was sincerely happy for Guo Ye, congratulating her and said: "Husband, today is indeed a double blessing. Well, Yixi is that my father came to visit you and me in Chang’an from Longxi, and Erxi is that sister Zhenniang gave birth to a daughter for you, and you are very happy. Alright, stop standing in the flower hall and go to the dining room in the back hall Let's go, this concubine will go to the kitchen to cook a few dishes and let my father and husband have a few drinks."

Guo Ye suddenly nodded his head a few times, saying yes, but Wu Maocai stopped him and said, "Girl, you are already a princess, how can you still cook and cook? Let the servants do this kind of rough work, and let Dad take a good look at it." You, yo, this purple radish palace skirt is actually made of Shu brocade, the fabric, the handwork, it’s really amazing. The princess is the princess, and the clothes are all expensive.”

Seeing Wu Maocai turning around there, he immediately showed his true colors, and a strong air of landlord and old fortune came to his nose.

Xiuxiu was also amused by her father's appearance, she laughed in her heart and said, after such a long time, her father is still a philistine as always, and has not changed a bit.

But she still said: "Father, I don't work on weekdays, and I don't touch the spring water with my ten fingers. It's rare to be happy today. You go to the back hall with your husband first. My daughter will cook and boil wine in a while."

After finishing speaking, he smiled at Guo Ye, walked out of the flower hall, and went straight to the back kitchen.

Wu Maocai watched his daughter leave in a hurry, and muttered: "This is the princess, what else do you cook in the kitchen?"

Guo Ye glanced at the cheap father-in-law, curled his lips and couldn't help but taunt: "Why can't the princess go to the kitchen? She is my wife, what happened to the next kitchen? What's the matter? The princess doesn't want to eat? Whose house have you seen?" The princess doesn't need to eat and drink? Let's go, let's go to the dining room and wait for food and drink."

After being ridiculed, Guo Ye hummed a little song with his hands behind his back, and walked towards the back hall swaggering in a good mood.
