Shanglin Night Snow

It was dark.When Guo Kai walked out of the gate of the Yasi, he thought about it, thinking that if he came home, he would make a detour to Taoyun Zhai. It would not be a problem. The illness of the family who had not recovered from the cold was relieved. For these two days, he should not eat too much meat and meat. Look at his porridge and side dishes. Guo Kai couldn't bear it until his eyes were watery, so he wanted to bring back some of his favorite light pastries, even if he tasted a few bites, it would be a comfort.With his mind set, he got on his horse and went to Taoyunzhai.

Just when he reached the corner of the street, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him, and he clasped his fists forward: "General, King Jia is here to invite you!"

"King Jia..." Guo Kai took a closer look and saw that the man was familiar - he was King Jia's bodyguard.

King Jia wanted to see him, but when did he have to avoid others like this?Guo Kai was puzzled, he hesitated for a while, and then he thought about it, all the guards in Prince Jia's Mansion were selected by himself, and the past was unsettled, the conspirators knew that he was very wary, so how could they dare to make trouble in the city? act rashly?With this in mind, he let go of his worries and went with him.

After walking less than a hundred zhang, he saw a person riding a horse in front of him looking over here, it was King Jia!Guo Kai's heart lightened, and he rode his horse to meet him. He didn't want to suddenly draw his attention to another familiar face.

The man was about fifty, with a white face and long beard, but he looked strong and strong.

When their eyes met, Guo Kai greeted him out of politeness and cupped his hands and called him "cousin", but the man was indifferent, saying "I dare not do that!" and walked away in a huff.

"Brother Guo knew that person?" King Jia had already rode his horse forward, seeing the scene just now, and felt sorry for him: "However, he is so rude!"

Guo Kai said in embarrassment: "That is my distant cousin, whose surname is Zhou Mingqi. Recently, he was transferred to the Taiwan Academy by the Dengzhou General Judge. In the early years, he had a rift with the adults due to some incidents. He has never let go of his grievances. It is really helpless."

"It turned out to be the Yushi." Wang Jia turned his horse's head and walked slowly along the street with him, "In this way, it will be useless for Brother Guo to fight against him." The above explained the reason, lest he vent his personal anger and fabricate reasons to slander brother Yu."

Guo Kai said frankly: "Although Guo has never had great ambitions, he is good at being upright. Besides, although Zhou Qi is narrow-minded in this matter, he is quite upright in his life. I think he will not slander him to vent his personal anger."

"That's good." King Jia nodded, and turned to comfort, "It's just that it's better to let go of an enemy than to end it. Brother Guo, why don't you try to persuade your father and Zhou Qi to let go of their old grievances for many years, so that you can save an old enemy and make friends and relatives happy. Also restore harmony, isn't it the best of both worlds?"

Guo Kai shook his head and sighed: "Actually, when he came to Beijing, my father ordered me to visit him at the door, intending to show his kindness, but he didn't appreciate it after all."

"So..." King Jia became curious, "I don't know why your lord Lingtang and this Zhou Qi had an enmity in the first place, so that he has not let go of it after decades?"

Guo Kai pondered for a while, and a wry smile overflowed from the corner of his mouth: This is really hard to say...

Speaking of Guo Kai's mother, Mrs. He, and cousin Zhou Qi's childhood sweetheart, Zhou Qi decided that it was not Mrs. He who would not marry when he was more than ten years old, and he also expressed his feelings to him in private, but Mrs. He laughed and said that he would come back after seeking fame. She was originally a girl. I didn't expect Zhou Qi to be serious about his frivolous words, and made a promise in person that he would come to propose marriage when he achieves fame and fame in the future, but he didn't expect that it would be ten years later when his words were finally fulfilled!In the past ten years, Zhou Qi devoted himself to learning. Although he failed the two exams, he did not change his original intention. So he didn't know that He Shi was married!And it's fine if she marries a good man, but Zhou Qiwan never expected that he would replace him in the end, and he would be a loser!And He's self-destructive promise, marrying a man who has abandoned his pen to start a business and has a stinky body, is a tarnish to his original infatuation!So how can I swallow this bad breath?

The sages only talk about their sons and don't talk about their father's faults, but Guo Kai thought about the love and hatred of his ancestors, and it was also difficult for him to say... After he was silent, he quietly turned around: "It's a good thing that Zhou Qi didn't see His Highness before, otherwise it would be unavoidable. There are many things."

King Jia was also rejoicing: "Brother Guo's words are very true. Although you and I have been in contact with the imperial court, if you are too ostentatious, you will inevitably teach those who cause trouble to seize the opportunity and sue the imperial court..." Sighed, his face was full of helplessness: "With the ancestral system in place, the official family can't do anything... I wanted to wait for Brother Guo in front of the Yasi Gate today, but I thought about the hadith and dared not show off, so I came up with this bad plan."

"Sacred teachings?" Guo Kai was taken aback, feeling uneasy, "His Royal Highness means..."

"It's not that the officials forbid you and me to come and go!" As he said, King Jia couldn't hide his melancholy: "It's just that there was a discussion in the court that it was inappropriate for me to live alone, and I ignored the etiquette and always went out for a walk. As for the matter, the officials made me restrain myself so as not to discuss it further, so from now on, I am afraid that I will not be able to meet Brother Guo easily if I have nothing to do." After saying this, he showed a look of sadness.

Guo Kai had no choice but to comfort: "Your Highness, don't be discouraged. It's just that you have to temporarily order Your Highness to reduce going out because of fear of outside discussions, instead of keeping His Highness isolated from the world. Besides, the Infantry Division is responsible for guarding His Highness's mansion. If I come in and out due to official business The palace is reasonable and reasonable, as long as it is not ostentatious, the foreign court will not talk too much about it."

After persuasion like this, King Jia's mood improved, and Guo Kai gave him a few words of tactful advice, making him promise to reduce unnecessary going out in the future.After a few words, Prince Jia's Mansion is already in sight.

After getting off the horse, King Jia invited him as usual: "It's still early, brother Guo, why don't you go in and have a drink with Xiao Wang? Even if it's because of Qin Liuzhi's matter, let me apologize to brother."

The moonlight was bright and clear, and the halo lightly outlined that ivory-like moist face, every frown and every movement here was touching.

Guo Kai lowered his eyes: "The previous facts were not His Highness's fault. If we must blame him, it must be Guo who did not realize that His Highness was involved in danger. He should have made amends. Now that the situation has changed, you and I should take it as a lesson, and don't repeat the same mistakes." Alright, thinking about it is useless.” Then he cupped his hands: “I don’t know if His Highness has an invitation today, I have already promised to visit a friend, besides, the hadith has only just come out, I think it’s better to stay out of the turmoil for now, I won’t go in, Wang Dian □□Sorry."

Having said this, King Jia didn't force himself, and the two said goodbye.

Going back the same way, I went around the busy city, and it was almost Xu time when I got home.

Pushing open the door of the inner room, the little boy who was standing with his back in front of the table turned around when he heard the sound, and hurriedly made a gesture of silence.Guo Kai understood, stepped forward lightly, saw the dishes on the table at a glance, and frowned: "Where did these come from?"

The little boy wiped the crumbs from the corner of his mouth, and said softly: "The second shopkeeper brought them. He said that the Xun officials might lose their appetite after clearing the porridge, so they bought these, but the Xun officials didn't eat a few pieces, and the rest were afraid to be put away. It's not good after a long time, so the second shopkeeper taught me how to eat."

Guo Kai nodded: "Understood, let's go."

The little boy went out with a few dishes, and Guo Kai put down the paper bag in his hand, with a hint of frustration in his eyes.

As soon as he sat down by the bed, the person lying on the bed opened his eyes when he heard the movement, his eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of mist, and his voice was vague: "What time is it...how did you come back?"

Guo Kai said softly, "I'm delayed by something in the yamen..." Looking back at the paper bag on the table, "I went to Taoyun Zhai to buy some pastries and came back. There are many people there, so the wait will take a little time."

"Taoyunzhai!" The man's eyes lit up for a moment, but darkened for a moment: "However, I really can't eat right now..." He seemed annoyed.

Caressing his smooth forehead with one hand, Guo Kai said comfortingly: "It's okay, we'll eat tomorrow."

"Mm-hmm!" The man nodded vigorously, blinked his dry eyes a few times, suddenly seemed to think of something, his face was blushing: "Then... there is something... I..." hesitantly turned his eyes away, "From now on, when there is no one, can I call you, Akai, because... because of this..."

"Okay!" Guo Kai interrupted him with a smile.
