Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

Guo Ye thought to himself, so this is the matter!

Then he nodded with a smile on his face and said, "Father-in-law is still as busy as ever, and he handles things quickly. Alright, I get it."

"Well, my dad also said that if you need help with anything after returning to Shuzhou, he told you to just send someone."

Kang Zhiru added one last sentence.

Guo Ye said: "Well, my father-in-law has a heart, Zhiru has worked hard for you."

Kang Zhiru smiled sweetly, shook her head and said softly, "It's not hard, it's what a wife should be."

I'm dizzy, this girl suddenly became as good as the water, and Guo Ye couldn't accept her sincerity for a while.

However, judging from Kang Zhiru's performance today, Guo Ye couldn't help but lament Kang Yueshan's methods. This old boy knew that his daughter had been wronged by him, and he was so helpful and kind to him.

He's open-minded enough, and smart enough, he's telling himself in a disguised form that he can no longer bully Kang Zhiru and make her feel wronged.

No wonder this girl's performance today is so contrasting.

Tuk Tuk Tuk…

The old lady knocked on the table suddenly with the tip of her chopsticks, interrupted Guo Ye's reverie, and said, "Don't talk about your business when you are eating, eat first, and if you don't eat later, the soup will be cold." .”

Guo Ye did not disobey the old lady's wishes, and nodded in response: "Well, let's eat first, and my mother will eat. Ladies, please eat."

This lady implicitly included Zhenniang sitting at the same table, which made Zhenniang's head droop even lower.

Wu Xiuxiu didn't seem to understand the mystery in Guo Ye's words, and said obediently: "Mother eats, husband eats."

Kang Zhiru responded, "Well, mother and husband are having dinner."

"Uh, the old lady eats, eats, husband... husband... high officials eat!"

After all, Zhenniang still didn't have the courage to call out "Husband", she lowered her head in embarrassment and picked up the rice grains in the bowl.

But everyone still moved their chopsticks tacitly.

Seeing this scene, the old lady was in a good mood, and said with a smile: "The whole family gets along well and eats happily together. How nice is that? Come, let's eat!"

As an elder, she made a final decision, and she officially included Zhenniang into the Guo family.

About a while later, when everyone was eating in silence, Liu Zhenxuan, the captain of Zhiguo, suddenly rushed in from the dining room.

Liu Zhenxuan supported the knife handle at his waist with one hand, and held a letter in the other. He bowed and stood behind Guo Ye, shouting loudly:

"Report to Master Changshi, His Royal Highness the King of Shu sent someone to send an urgent letter over in Shuzhou! Then, the soldier who sent the letter said, let Master Changshi must open the letter now, immediately, and read it!"

"Oh?"

Guo Ye frowned slightly, turned around and snatched the letter from Liu Zhenxuan's hand, tore open the firestick, took out the letter paper and flicked it, and read it carefully...

Chapter 653

Snapped!

Guo Ye slapped the table heavily with his palm, shaking the dining table, and splashing the leftovers of soup, which made the faces of the old lady, Zhenniang and others change color one after another in fright.

Immediately afterwards, the angry Guo Ye rubbed the letter into a ball, threw it on the ground and said in hatred, "Liang Shidao, you are too deceitful!"

"what happened?"

Wu Xiuxiu, who was calmer among the female relatives, frowned and asked, "Could it be that something happened in Shuzhou?"

Guo Ye nodded slightly, and waved to Liu Zhenxuan to signal him to step back first.

Then he said to Wu Xiuxiu: "Liang Shidao, the governor of Shuzhou, is so daring, he dared to insult His Royal Highness Ruosi while I was away from Shuzhou, I will definitely not let him go."

The impatient Kang Zhiru couldn't help interjecting, "What happened?"

When Kang Zhiru finished asking, even the old lady and Zhenniang looked inquiringly.

Guo Ye didn't hide anything, and told about the current embarrassment of Shu King Li Ke, and also talked about Liang Shidao's attitude towards Shu King Jiufan's many times of making things difficult.

Finally, he kicked the ball of paper on the ground and said: "The king of Shu sent someone to deliver a letter to tell you that on the day I left Shuzhou, several noble families and old gentry in the prefecture of Shuzhou heard that the king of Shu When His Highness came to Shuzhou, he specially came here to pay homage, wanting to see the demeanor of the heirs of the emperor, the prince of the royal family. Unfortunately, Liang Shidao sent people to secretly intimidate and coerce all these people back. The purpose is not to let Shu The king's contact with the powerful gentry in Shuzhou is afraid that the king of Shu will take advantage of the situation to gain a firm foothold in Shuzhou. Damn it, it's really deceiving!"

Wu Xiuxiu was a little unbelievable. He had heard of evil slaves bullying his master, but he had never seen such a bold evil slave. He dared to offend even a dignified prince like this. Then he questioned: "The king of Shu is a nobleman of the Tian family. , isn’t Liang Shidao afraid that His Royal Highness will report a memorial to the emperor in the future, punishing him for the crime of bullying?”

"Hehe." Guo Ye sneered, and said, "The mountain is high and the emperor is far away. The Liang thief is used to being the earth emperor. How can he allow others to touch his territory? Besides, there are probably people in the court who protect him. What else can he not dare to do?" What did he do? Besides, he was also following orders, and when something happened, someone above him would take care of it. If I guessed correctly, Shuzhou and other places should be with the person or group of people who protected him in the court. Not only are there countless connections, but there are also many dirty and dirty activities. It seems that Li Ke went to Shuzhou this time, and he just sat on a hornet's nest, otherwise, hehe..."

"Husband, are you exaggerating?" Kang Zhiru also questioned, saying, "Isn't Shuzhou Zhechong Duwei's Mansion under the control of the Shuzhou Governor's Mansion? No matter how domineering Liang Shidao is, it is only under the jurisdiction of the governor of the state." It's just civil affairs for a state. He has no soldiers in his hands, so what can he rely on?"

Guo Ye said: "You mean Yu Kui? You're just a gangster, and that's all. Otherwise, why would I ask your father to help lobby the captains of Zhechong in other states?"

Speaking of this, Guo Ye suddenly said to the old lady: "Mother, it seems that the child can't stay in Longxi for a long time, and must return to Shuzhou as soon as possible to plan everything for His Highness the King of Shu. Otherwise, I am worried that His Highness the King of Shu will be eaten by Liang Shidao." Dark loss."

The old lady's expression was a little uncomfortable, she said rather reluctantly: "I've only been back for a few days, and I'm leaving again. Have you finished all the things you need to do when you return to Longxi?"

Guo Ye didn't know what the old lady was referring to, but when he returned to Longxi, he first entrusted Kang Yueshan to lobby his old colleagues, and second, he asked Sun Mingyan, the chief rudder of the Cao Gang, to meet with him. Both of these things were done well. Nine is not far from ten.

Immediately nodded and said: "It's done."

The old lady looked at him suspiciously, and said with a pun: "In my old age, it might not be so?"

At this time, Guo Ye could sense that there was something in the old lady's words, and smiled and said: "Mother, what do you want to say, you can say it clearly."

The old lady glanced at Wu Xiuxiu, Kang Zhiru, and Zhenniang. She waved her haggard hands and said softly, "Xiu'er, you three go out first. I'll have a word with Dalang."

Wu Xiuxiu hurriedly got up and said, "Okay, mother!"

As he spoke, he stood up first and walked out of the dining room. Seeing this, Kang Zhiru and Zhenniang followed closely behind and walked out.

In the dining room, only the old lady and Guo Ye's wife were left.

Guo Ye couldn't help laughing out loud, and said happily, "Mother, what do you want to say? It's so mysterious, haha."

The old lady ignored Guo Ye's laughter, and said in an unquestionable tone: "Da Lang, you are going back to Shuzhou to do important things. Mother will not stop you. This is a business matter. Mother will never drag you back. But, you have to leave There is no rush to set off, you must stay in the mansion tonight and leave tomorrow."

Guo Ye was astonished when he heard this, because he was thinking about taking Liu Zhenxuan and the others to leave after lunch.

He couldn't help but wondered: "Mother, why is this? Although there is a distance between Shuzhou and Longxi, it's still a journey of one or two days. I can go home to visit your old man at any time."

The old lady shook her head, smiled with rare shrewdness in her eyes, and said, "Don't you know what kind of virtue you are? You haven't been away for more than half a year, and you will definitely not come back. My mother asked you, this time you go Shuzhou, did you not intend to take Xiuxiu, Zhiru, Zhenniang and the others to go together at all?"

Guo Ye showed surprise again, apparently caught by the old lady's words.

Then he smiled bitterly and said, "Mother, you also know that Xiuxiu and Zhiru are not easy-going lamps. If I bring them with me, then my ears will still be quiet? And this trip to Shuzhou, Liang Shidao and others are not I'm a good stubbler, I think it's quite dangerous. If there are female relatives by my side, there must be more constraints. Therefore, I don't plan to take them away together. Let them stay with your mother for a while, and take care of your old man for the baby. .”

Speaking of this, Guo Ye looked at the old lady's face with some displeasure, and immediately added: "I won't live long in Shuzhou, and I will return to Chang'an in a year at most. So I plan to take my mother with me after one year. And Xiuxiu and the others will go to Chang'an to live together. At that time, Xiaoman and Erniu will definitely live in Chang'an Lu Guogong's mansion, and our family will live happily together, how good is it?"
