Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

Guo Ye's majestic seven-foot man knelt and kowtowed three times to his old lady, and everyone present was moved, even his two daughters-in-law Wu Xiuxiu and Kang Zhiru stared at their husband-in-law dumbfounded.

Apparently they were surprised that the husband and wife would meet in this way after more than half a year of separation.

Seeing her son kneeling and kowtowing three times, the old lady was heartbroken, and hearing Guo Ye's wailing and calling for his mother made her feel even more heartbroken. She couldn't help but think of Guo Ye's unlucky father, Guo Laohan.

For a while, the old lady was so heartbroken that she was crying again, choking with tears.

This was a good time, it was supposed to be a joyous event for returning home, but the gate of the Guo Mansion was silent amidst crying.

Wu Xiuxiu and the others have lost their minds, but it doesn't mean that Wu Maocai, a crafty old man, has also lost his sense of proportion.

Immediately, he hurriedly interjected: "Mother-in-law, today is a great day for Guo Ye to return to his hometown. How can you cry? We should be happy, we should be happy?"

After all, Wu Maocai kept winking at Wu Xiuxiu again, Wu Xiuxiu understood now, and together with Kang Zhiru helped the old lady up again, comforting in a low voice.

Guo Ye was interrupted by Wu Maocai, and he secretly said, yes, today is a happy event, maybe I haven't seen my mother for a long time, and I am too homesick.

Immediately, he also stepped forward to support the old lady and comforted her.

After a while, the tearful old lady finally stopped her choking and moaning, and with the support of her two daughters-in-law, she followed Guo Ye and Wu Maocai into the mansion and went to the hall.

When the group arrived at the hall, the servants came up with tea soup and cakes one after another. The old lady recovered from the sadness just now and asked kindly, "Dalang, how long can you stay at home this time?"

Guo Ye took a sip of the tea soup and replied: "Mother, this time the baby is going to live forever. This time I return to Shuzhong, and I follow His Majesty's order to accompany His Highness the King of Shu..."

Slowly, he told the story that Li Ke, the king of Shu, had been ordered to go to the middle of Shu to establish a feudal domain, and he had been ordered to serve as the governor of Shuzhou Metropolitan Governor's Office.

When the old lady heard this, her complexion gradually improved, and she smiled a little more.Even Wu Xiuxiu and Kang Zhiru seemed relieved.

The old lady nodded and said: "It's good to be back, it's good to be back, I can't go to those dangerous places in Tubo anymore. A few days ago, the storytellers in the teahouses in the city were all talking about how you were in Tubo. I, Tang Guowei, almost lost my life! In the future, we can no longer take risks with our bodies. Although my mother is an old country woman who cannot read, I have heard others say that soldiers are also murder weapons! My son can't touch it anymore."

Guo Ye didn't say anything, but shook his head secretly in his heart. It seems that my mother has also heard about those storytelling jokes. She must have worried about me during those days, so that I couldn't sleep or eat well.

Seeing Guo Ye's silence, the old lady subconsciously thought that she had listened to her own words, so she stopped entangled in this matter.

She turned her head and suddenly asked Wu Xiuxiu beside her, saying: "Xiu'er, didn't Xiaoman send you a letter a few days ago? In her letter, she complained about her brother?"

Wu Xiuxiu hummed, and replied softly: "Well, Xiaoman gave birth to a baby boy in Tuva City, Xichuan a few days ago, and then sent a family letter to her daughter-in-law. She asked me to tell my mother that the mother and child are safe. Please don't worry about it, mother. In addition, Xiaoman complained in the letter that the elder brother, Xianggong, not only didn't know about the birth of his nephew, but also took Erniu to Chang'an suddenly. No wonder Xiaoman complained, we had nothing to do with Xichuan Relatives, Xiaoman is about to give birth, but the husband actually took Er Niu to Chang'an, separated the husband and wife, and made the child unable to see the biological father when the child was born. Hmph, if it were me, I would have to be resentful."

After all, Wu Xiuxiu did not forget to give Guo Ye a hard look. There was no charm in her eyes, but naked contempt.It seems to be saying, how did you become an elder brother, so careless.

On the other hand, Guo Ye, after listening to Wu Xiuxiu, almost yelled, patted his forehead in frustration, and blamed himself: "My God, why did I forget about this, count the days It's time for Xiaoman too. Dizzy, I'm so busy, I'm so busy, it seems that I have to make up for my sister, no, as an uncle, I also have to make up for my little nephew. "

Guo Ye did not lie this time. After withdrawing from Golmud City to Xichuan, he didn't even have time to stay in Xichuan, so he hurried back to Chang'an without stopping.After returning to Chang'an, because he had to deal with those difficult matters, he was so busy that he forgot about Xiaoman's birth.

Seeing Guo Ye feeling annoyed for a while, the old lady couldn't help complaining, and said: "You said you were not confused, but you actually took Erniu to Chang'an at such an urgent time. No wonder Xiaoman wants to feel resentful towards you , What woman doesn’t want her husband to be by her side when she gives birth to a child? You, you have to make up for your little sister later.”

Guo Ye nodded without hesitation, and said: "Yes, yes. But mother, there is a reason why I took Erniu to Chang'an, do you know? Erniu is not called Erniu, and he is not from Longxi. Taking him to Chang'an is to help him identify his ancestors so that my little nephew can enter the ancestral hall and the family tree in the future. Erniu's original name was Cheng Huaizhong, ten years ago..."

After another slow talk, Guo Ye told Cheng Erniu's true identity and background in detail, and also told the grievances between Lu Guogong Cheng Yaojin and Cheng Erniu father and son one by one.

Guo Ye did not hide these things from the few people present. After all, no matter how Er Niu looked at it in the future, it was imperative to recognize his ancestors and return to his clan, and it would not do him any harm.And Xiaoman still has to go through the hurdle of the ugly daughter-in-law meeting her in-laws, and let the old lady and Xiuxiu know in advance, so that they can have a bottom line in their hearts.

Hearing Guo Ye tell this secret, all the people present were dumbfounded and sighed with cold wind in their mouths.

The old lady couldn't help sighing: "I didn't expect Er Niu to suffer so much in his heart, for ten years, with a gall in his mouth for ten years, it's really difficult for this child."

But Wu Xiuxiu and Kang Zhiru are both knowledgeable women. When they heard that Er Niu was the second son of Cheng Yaojin's family, a well-known court veteran, they were shocked.

Thinking again that Xiaoman is the second daughter-in-law of Lu Guogong's family, it seems that the good days of my sister-in-law are not far away.

Wu Maocai next to him was full of envy, and said with emotion: "Erniu is actually the second son of Duke Lu's family. So we, Xiaoman, will be the daughter-in-law of Duke Lu's family in the future? Lord Lu, no matter how ignorant I am." , but I have heard a lot about the hero of his old man. Mother-in-law, mother-in-law..."

Wu Maocai suddenly shouted excitedly to the old lady: "I have to congratulate your Guo family. Xiaoman married Er Niu. Guo's mansion and Lu Guogong's mansion are in-laws. Tsk tsk, what a twist of fate. Climb to a high branch, little one!" It’s definitely like flying on a branch and turning into a phoenix.”

After all, the old lady didn't have a wide vision. Hearing what Wu Maocai said, she asked doubtfully, "So, Erniu's family is also a well-established family in Chang'an City?"

"It's not just a great background?" Wu Maocai shook his head and said with a look of unsatisfied, "Lu Guogong's mansion, that is Chang'an City, oh no, they are all first-class wealthy families in Tang Dynasty! Envy, my mother-in-law is really lucky You are lucky, I am so envious of my old Wu."

After hearing this, Guo Ye saw Wu Maocai's appearance of being a philistine at the peak, and he was secretly happy, cheap father-in-law, if you knew that your Xiuxiu family was the daughter of Huo Guogong Chai Shao and Pingyang Princess Li Xiuning, what would you do? Woolen cloth?[-]% are going to be so excited that they can't sleep at night.

And according to seniority and blood relationship, Xiuxiu still has to call the current Holy One uncle.

However, Guo Ye refrained from saying anything. After all, this matter was somewhat complicated. He didn't know if Xiuxiu would agree to recognize his ancestors and return to his clan if he knew the cause and effect; Recognize your daughter.He hasn't sorted out these conflicts yet, so it's not time to finally lift the lid off the pot.

While everyone was happy, Guo Ye suddenly remembered that there was one more icing on the cake that he hadn't done, and that was the great favor that Li Ke's mother, Concubine Yang, gave him.

Immediately, he said: "Mother, I brought you a generous gift when I came back this time. This is a generous gift that honors the lintel of my Guo family. Finally, I can taste the unfulfilled wish that my father never forgot when he was alive. Consolation to the spirit of the old man in heaven."

Hearing Guo Ye's words moved her face so much, especially when she mentioned her unlucky husband, the old lady couldn't sit still, and asked again and again: "What did my son bring to mother from Chang'an?"

Guo Ye said: "Mother, wait a moment, I will let Zhenniang come into the hall."

At this time, Zhenniang was waiting outside the hall, Guo Ye turned around and was about to give orders, when suddenly——

There was a burst of laughter from outside the hall, and a mid-spirited voice suddenly entered the hall: "Hahaha, son-in-law, son-in-law, as soon as the old man leaves the house and walks on the street, I hear people talking about you everywhere." Returning to your hometown in fine clothes. You can be considered to be back. When the old man received a letter from my bastard, saying that you were going to march into the Tubo Kingdom, he was worried that you and the bastard would be careless and lose their lives. I have entered the Tubo Kingdom. Wahahaha..."

The visitor has white beard and hair, but walks like a dragon and a tiger, and his steps are steady and powerful. It is Guo Ye's other father-in-law-the former Yizhou Zhechong Captain Kang Yueshan!

Guo Ye looked at Kang Yueshan and laughed loudly, while striding into the hall, he thought to himself, it came so fast!

Kang Zhiru, who hadn't talked to him for a long time, probably saw Guo Ye's expression and guessed Guo Ye's thoughts, so she couldn't help but whispered to Guo Ye weakly: "I, I will send someone to notify you when I see you come back. I lost my father..."

Kang Yueshan walked into the hall and sat down on a chair without hesitation. At the same time, he saw Wu Maocai, and couldn't help but laughed again and said, "Haha, so Maocai is you too?"

Wu Maocai frowned, and said in displeasure, "What's wrong? Why can't I come and see my virtuous son-in-law come back?"

The two father-in-laws gathered together, and they didn't seem to deal with it very well. Guo Ye curled his lips, feeling a little awkward in his heart.

Chapter 646

After Guo Ye greeted Kang Yueshan, he couldn't forget to cast a glance at Wu Maocai, who was looking displeased, and muttered in his heart, these two people are not looking right!

Could it be that the two father-in-laws are estranged from each other because of their own daughter?

In fact, he knew very well in his heart that although Wu Xiuxiu and Kang Zhiru seemed to get along very well on the surface, in fact, the two had been competing secretly, and neither of them accepted the other!

Grandma, the two father-in-laws are over 100 years old together, why are they still angry like a little girl?

Guo Ye looked at the old lady suspiciously. Sure enough, the old lady seemed to understand the meaning of Guo Ye's eyes, and nodded with a wry smile.

Come on, it's all in the air.Guo Ye understood, and his head grew bigger.

For a while, the atmosphere of the scene became a little awkward.

In order to ease the uncomfortable atmosphere, he had no choice but to pick up what he hadn't finished speaking just now, and shouted out of the hall: "Zhen Niang, show the things to the old lady."

"Here!"
